Chapter 285: Going to War
When the words “the emperor will lead the army in person” were uttered, all the civil and military officials in the court were shocked.
He Xiang’s eyes were even more dull. In the entire Great Zhou, except for the founding emperor, no emperor had ever personally visited the battlefield, not even Emperor Jingwen.
Swords and knives are merciless on the battlefield and the emperor is of noble status. If someone dies or gets injured, no one can bear the consequences.
Based on everyone’s understanding of the emperor, since he has already said it, he must have made up his mind.
He Xiang panicked all of a sudden, and didn’t even bother to argue with Ye Shuo. The new emperor in front of him was willing to commit suicide if they disagreed with him. He Xiang’s demands were lowered again and again. At this moment, what he thought in his heart was that as long as he didn’t go to the battlefield, everything else could be discussed.
Those two hundred envoys, let them die!
“Your Majesty, please put the country first. I beg you to take back your order!”
If the soldiers are unwilling to fight, then they don’t have to fight. The worst that can happen is a loss. As long as the emperor gives the order, the generals dare not disobey. Even if the effect is a little worse, it’s better than the emperor’s death, right?
Based on He Xiang’s understanding of him, He Xiang really never thought that he would be able to come back safely.
