Chapter 183 I am also greedy for life(2/2)
It’s really admirable!
Suddenly there was the sound of beads hitting jade.
Wow.
After the throne, the bead curtain was lifted——
Queen Mother Xia actually walked out from behind the bead curtain!
For the first time in thirty-two years, this curtain was lifted, and it stood in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
What kind of woman is this?
She personally opened the beaded curtain with her hand. It was beautiful and delicate, but it had the power to share the power of the country. The jade color was so noble that it covered the sky with her hand.
The bead curtain opened, revealing her world.
She seemed to have stepped out of a heavy story and unfolded the picture of her life so calmly.
She is no longer young, and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes show the accumulated years.
You can still feel the beauty of her youth.
The eyebrows are like new leaves, and the eyes have autumn marks.
People are like jade, their manners are graceful.
But her unique charm, beyond her beautiful appearance, is an indescribable and reassuring temperament.
"Queen Mother." Xia Zi called, and stood up to avoid her seat.
But Queen Mother Xia took a step forward, put her hands on his shoulders, and gently pushed him down.
"The emperor should not avoid his seat for the Ai family. The Ai family should support the emperor's chair."
The Empress Dowager Xia lifted the curtain and came out, which is of extraordinary significance. Originally she was "listening to the government", but now she is "looking at the government".
Xia Zi stood up and evaded his seat to give up the throne and dedicate his authority.
But she refused.
She does not hold power for herself, she just stands up to withstand the wind and rain.
She pressed her hand gently on the imperial chair, as if she really stabilized this turbulent country for Xia Zi, for her and the late emperor's only remaining son.
She took a step forward, as if she were stepping on the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers of Xia Kingdom, walking on the ridge of thousands of miles of dragon veins.
Everyone looked at her, at this woman who had actually saved the Xia State and supported the Xia State to this day.
"The Imperial Master said that he was greedy for life and afraid of death... so how could the Ai family be the same?"
She used this sentence as her opening act after lifting the curtain.
Her eyes moved and looked at everyone present: "Back then, I was standing on the city wall, facing the Emperor Qi's army, looking at the purple Taihuang flag, covering it like a sky curtain... The Ai family was so scared that they almost gasped.
Don’t be angry!
Ai Jia's palms were covered in cold sweat and her heart was trembling!
The Ai family was too afraid of death, too afraid of dying like that, too afraid of dying in the ruined noble city. They were afraid of corpses lying among the broken walls, rain of blood floating in the sky, and lonely souls wandering in the world.
.
The Ai family are afraid... afraid that there will be no Xia people in the world after death, and that in a hundred years there will be no Xia people in the world!"
"Dear gentlemen!"
She looked over with sincere eyes.
"The Xia Kingdom is not the Xia Kingdom of the Ai family."
"The Xia Kingdom is not just you and me, it's not just our Xia Kingdom."
"Our fathers and ancestors...our relatives and friends, masters and apprentices, classmates, neighbors...all the people and things that appear in the trajectory of life have jointly created this name."
"Now it will be erased!"
"Isn't this terrible?"
She asked: "Isn't this scary?!"
"General Long said that to rule the country is to die for the country. The imperial master said that to die for the country is also possible. But the Aijia does not want you to die as a country. The Aijia hopes that you will live well. The Aijia hopes that you will live well with the memory of Xia Kingdom.
."
"If nothing can be done at that time, please leave alone. The world is so big, there is always a place for you."
"But before that, please don't let people erase the word 'summer' easily."
"Because it doesn't just belong to you and me. It doesn't just belong to our parents and ancestors, it should also belong to our children and grandchildren! How can we let this name that should belong to them be lost in our hands?"
She stood on top of the throne and in front of the dragon throne, and bowed deeply to everyone.
At this time, even King Sijiao of Wu and King Yuliyang of Min stood up and returned the greeting.
All the officials bowed to His Majesty Dan.
But the Queen Mother Xia still didn't bow and said sincerely: "My lords! Please cherish your lives, and please at least make efforts beyond your own life for the word 'Xia'!"
On that day, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty of Daxia crossed their left palms and swore a blood oath.
Vow to defeat all thieves!
So Sijiao, the king of Wu, was appointed as the commander-in-chief, Long Jiao was the deputy commander-in-chief, and King Min Yuliyang's army was accompanied by them. They used all their strength to suppress the two armies of the country, 200,000 people, and the whole country's government troops, one million.
Prime Minister Liu Xiyi, State Counselor Xi Mengfu, Guangping Marquis Li Fu, Xuanping Marquis Fan Ao, Anguo Marquis Jin Ling, Yangling Marquis Xue Chang... are all in the army!
Among them, Zhou Ying, the Duke of Fengguo, raised tens of thousands of soldiers from the Zhou family and personally led the expedition.
The leader of the Chu family, Chu Gong, sent tens of thousands of troops to the Chu family. The ancestor of the Chu family, Chu Gongyi, accompanied the army.
Taixu, the head of the Tai family, said: "A real person in the Tai family has died, and the heaven and earth are mourning with the rain of blood. Can the living mourn for the dead?"
So all the young and strong members of the clan sent 13,000 Tai clan soldiers to the front line!
