Chapter 2050 The Emperor’s Ambition

After dinner, Yun Dai stayed here, lying side by side with him, taking a nap and talking.

The most worrying thing is naturally the war between Dazhou and Jiuli.

Zhao Yuanjing also made no secret of his ambition to annex Jiuli.

He asked Yun Dai if she felt that she was too scary and too ambitious.

Yun Dai turned over to face him and looked at his profile.

Zhao Yuanjing looked at her: "What are you looking at?"

"I'm wondering if, as an emperor, I am not qualified if I have no ambition."

"You think I did this, right?"

"It is not for me to judge whether what you, the emperor, do is right or wrong."

"Who?"

"History and future generations." Yun Dai whispered, hooking her fingers on the collar of his shirt and playing with the gold thread on it with her fingertips. "As for now, you just have to do what you think is right."

Zhao Yuanjing looked at Chi Chi's sweet face and smiled, "Then do you agree with my decision?"

"If you are asking about sending troops to start a war with Jiuli, I support it." Yun Dai picked at it and broke the gold thread of his collar, making the embroidery messy.

Zhao Yuanjing stared at her fingers and said nothing.

Yun Dai added: "Actually, you don't have to ask me this question at all. After all, I gave Northern Qi to you."

Zhao Yuanjing joked: "Beiqi is not what it used to be. It's just a mess now."

"You don't want it? Then give it back to me."

"Yes, yes." Zhao Yuanjing smiled, "Beiqi is really a good place. Although it has been poorer in recent years, it can always recover."

"That's pretty cool."

"But the problem is that having Jiu Li around is always a hidden danger. Although Ji Wenyuan's incident this time is just a teaser, Jiu Li has been eyeing Northern Qi covetously for more than a day or two." Zhao Yuanjing sighed, "To tell the truth, I don’t want to go to war the last thing. The national treasury has only gotten better in the past two years, and I would rather use the money to make the people’s lives better, instead of going to the battlefield and letting the soldiers bleed and die.”

"There is a word called, peaceful development." Yun Dai said with a smile, "If you want to make the country strong, it is definitely not possible to be in war all the time. Since Dazhou has already taken over Northern Qi, it is just a matter of taking over Jiuli. What's more, Jiuli was indeed cruel this time, killing innocent people and making people angry. Those who do unjust things will be killed by themselves. If they act like this, sooner or later they will exterminate their clan."

Zhao Yuanjing saw her getting more and more excited as she talked, her eyes sparkling, and she couldn't help but smile: "Why do I think you, a woman, are more ambitious than me?"

"It's not about ambition. I think unified development is good for everyone."

"Diel, your overall view is unmatched by most men."

Yun Dai smiled and said nothing.

She has no overall perspective. She just looks at the problem from the shoulders of the giant of history.

I think that without the First Emperor to unify the six countries, how could the Chinese dynasty be as prosperous and powerful as it would be in later generations.

Although the two emperors and empresses often had small conflicts, their views on such major national affairs were surprisingly consistent. They just chatted casually during their nap time and determined the next development route of the court.

Concentrate your energy and defeat Jiuli!

But this battle is not that easy to fight.

The Jiuli tribe may not look big, but in fact their army has been growing silently, and their number is no less than that of the Great Zhou army.
