Chapter 481 Snow Night Imperial Dynasty
A snowy night in the imperial court.
This is a super dynasty in the Central Region, second only to the major celestial dynasties in strength.
It can be said that it already has the strength to be promoted to the Celestial Empire, but it is unable to do so.
Ultimately, it's because those celestial dynasties don't allow them to advance.
Inside the imperial palace of the Snow Night Dynasty, the current Snow Night Emperor sat on the dragon throne, looking at the intelligence report that had been delivered to him, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.
A moment later, he put down the intelligence in his hand and looked down at the civil and military officials of the Xueye Dynasty who had suddenly stood solemnly below.
"My lords, you must all know about the matter concerning the Great Qin..."
"Now that the Great Qin is about to become a Celestial Empire, what do you think our Xueye Dynasty should do in response...?"
"Imperial Lord Xueye said in a deep voice."
"Your Majesty, the Great Qin Dynasty is quite powerful, but my Snow Night Dynasty is no less formidable, and its foundation is far more profound than that of the Great Qin..."
"However, my Snow Night Dynasty already possesses the strength to advance to the Heavenly Dynasty level, yet it has yet to do so. Why is that?"
"It's all because of those Celestial Dynasties; they won't allow any new forces to join and divide the interests of the Xuan Tian Realm..."
"The Qin Dynasty has only been rising for a short time, yet it dared to advance to the level of an imperial dynasty and announce it widely..."
"There are only two possibilities. One is that Great Qin is located in a remote area and is unaware of the current situation on the continent. However, Great Qin is a human power. Although the strength of the human race is not what it used to be, even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse. It is impossible that the ancestral court of the human race has not informed Great Qin of the situation on the continent..."
"Therefore, there is only the second possibility now: the strength of the Qin Dynasty allows them to do this; they have absolute confidence..."
"I believe that our Xueye Dynasty should remain inactive for now and observe whether the Great Qin can successfully advance to the status of a Celestial Dynasty..."
"If they successfully advance, then my Snow Night Dynasty can befriend them. After Great Qin becomes a Celestial Dynasty, it will have enemies everywhere, and that's precisely the time when it needs allies..."
"By then, they probably won't refuse our kindness..."
"Perhaps, we can also take this opportunity to advance to the Celestial Empire..."
"Even if the Qin Dynasty fails to become a Celestial Empire, it won't be a loss for our dynasty; at most, we'll just maintain the status quo..."
On a snowy night, the Prime Minister of the Imperial Dynasty stepped forward and delivered a lengthy speech.
In summary, if the Great Qin Dynasty successfully advances, then the Snow Night Dynasty will go to establish friendly relations; if it fails to advance, then they will wait and see.
In any case, there was no loss for their Snow Night Dynasty.
As soon as the Prime Minister finished speaking, the entire hall erupted in discussion. Most of the ministers agreed with the Prime Minister's viewpoint, believing that this plan was most beneficial to the Xueye Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, I disagree with the Prime Minister's viewpoint..."
Just then, an untimely voice rang out.
Everyone looked in the direction from which the sound came.
Upon seeing the person who had spoken, all the ministers who had originally intended to reprimand him in order to gain the prime minister's favor shut their mouths.
"Oh? What is the General's opinion?"
Xueye Dichao also looked at that person and spoke.
The imperial court of the Snow Night Dynasty can be divided into two factions.
One faction was led by the civil officials, including Prime Minister Ji Ruicheng.
The other faction was led by General Wu Tianyang, who was a group of military officers.
Although the relationship between the two factions was not to the point of life and death, they could not stand each other.
On many issues, the two factions are at loggerheads.
Now that General Wu Tianyang has spoken, most people in the court believe that the general simply dislikes Prime Minister Ji Ruicheng and that's why he spoke up.
Therefore, no one was willing to stand up and refute Wu Tianyang at this time.
"Your Majesty, this humble general believes that the Prime Minister's plan is unacceptable..."
Wu Tianyang stepped forward and said in a deep voice.
"Oh? I wonder what brilliant idea the General has? I'm all ears..."
Ji Ruicheng looked at Wu Tianyang with a somewhat unpleasant expression and said coldly.
Wu Tianyang ignored Ji Ruicheng and instead looked at Emperor Xueye, respectfully saying, "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, it's better to offer help in times of need than to add flowers to brocade..."
"The situation in Great Qin is not optimistic. If my Xueye Dynasty were to lend a helping hand at this time, Great Qin would surely remember our kindness..."
"In the future, they will definitely help my Snow Night Dynasty..."
"However, if we wait until Great Qin becomes a Celestial Dynasty before forming an alliance with them, even if Great Qin does form an alliance, our Snow Night Dynasty will still be at a disadvantage..."
"After all, at that time, the Great Qin was already a celestial empire, while my Xueye Dynasty, no matter how powerful, was at most just an imperial dynasty. The two were simply not on the same level..."
Wu Tianyang's voice echoed throughout the entire hall, and everyone in the hall was seriously considering Wu Tianyang's words, including Emperor Xueye, who was sitting on the dragon throne.
"Heh! General, are you so sure that Great Qin will successfully advance to the rank of Imperial Dynasty? What if Great Qin fails to advance, and my Snow Night Imperial Dynasty has allied with Great Qin? After the other great dynasties destroy Great Qin, they will definitely settle scores with us..."
"General, you are plunging my Snow Night Dynasty into utter ruin..."
Ji Ruicheng sneered, looked coldly at Wu Tianyang, and spoke.
"Although I'm not certain whether Great Qin will successfully advance to the Celestial Dynasty, my intuition tells me that if we miss this opportunity, we will definitely regret it..."
Wu Tianyang ignored Ji Ruicheng and spoke calmly.
"Intuition? General, are you treating the Imperial Dynasty like a child's play? Based on your so-called intuition, you're willing to gamble away the tens of thousands of years of foundation of my Snow Night Imperial Dynasty, and the lives of hundreds of millions of my people, all for your laughable intuition?"
Ji Ruicheng was furious, staring coldly at Wu Tianyang.
If looks could kill, Wu Tianyang would probably have been killed by Ji Ruicheng thousands of times over.
"enough!"
Just as the atmosphere between the two was becoming tense, Emperor Xueye spoke up.
The two immediately stood at attention respectfully.
"What you two ministers say is both reasonable. I need to consider it carefully. Let's leave it at that for today! You may all leave..."
Emperor Xueye rubbed his temples and waved his hand, saying...
"Your Majesty, please leave!"
All the ministers of the Xueye Imperial Dynasty bowed respectfully and then slowly withdrew from the main hall.
Upon arriving outside the main hall, Ji Ruicheng and Wu Tianyang met with members of their respective factions.
"General, governing a country is not like going to war. There are too many things to consider, and it cannot be decided by so-called intuition. In the past, it was one thing for you to be at odds with me, but why are you doing the same today?"
Ji Ruicheng spoke first.
"Prime Minister, it's not that I want to confront you, but I believe my decision is the most correct one..."
Wu Tianyang clasped his hands slightly in greeting to Ji Ruicheng and began to speak.
"you......"
Ji Ruicheng angrily pointed at Wu Tianyang, remaining silent for a long time.
"Humph!"
In the end, he could only snort coldly, flick his sleeves, and leave the place with his followers.
"General, are you sure you didn't say that just to anger the Prime Minister?"
Behind Wu Tianyang, a general looked at his great general with a puzzled expression and spoke.
"What, do you think I'm the kind of person who would disregard the country for my own selfish desires?"
Wu Tianyang glanced at the general and spoke.
"No...I wouldn't dare!"
The general quickly replied.
"Forget it, there's no point in arguing with the Prime Minister about this matter. Everything depends on the Emperor's decision..."
Wu Tianyang shook his head and said.
