Chapter 972 - 968: Entering the Official Career
If the policies of the Yan Kingdom can make its citizens more prosperous than those of the Zhou, he believes Bai Qingyan truly dares to lead the Zhou to merge into Yan.
However, if Zhou’s policies are indeed stronger than Yan’s, Murong Yan could never, like Bai Qingyan, have the courage to lead Yan to merge into Zhou.
Initially, Xiao Rongyan wanted to unify the world because of his mother’s dying wish...
Later, he witnessed the constant wars between states, driven by monarchs’ personal desires, or by the struggle for land and people, leading to abandoned homes and widespread chaos. It was then he realized why his mother wanted to unify the world, and thus he vowed to unify the world in his lifetime, returning peace and prosperity to the people.
Nowadays, Bai Qingyan also seeks peace and prosperity, also aiming to unify the world. Yet she is willing to compete with Yan in national policy, to determine victory, and discuss success or failure, thus avoiding war, preventing soldiers from bleeding, and stopping people from suffering.
Or perhaps, Bai Qingyan simply has the confidence that, in terms of political achievements... Zhou will win!
Nevertheless, Murong family’s ambition to unify the world still aims at the supreme throne.
Xiao Rongyan also understands that if there is truly war with Zhou, seizing territory...using victory and defeat to determine the world ruler, soldiers will surely bleed, and people will surely experience chaos.
Yet, this is the initial intent of Xiao Rongyan to stop war with war.
After all, asking Murong family to give up the throne, to bow for the people of the world...he does not have this magnanimity.
