Conquering the Noble Clans, Part II
Ching Yuon blustered for several seconds, mouth opening and closing like he was a fish out of water. Hou Jingshu had no intention of letting him say anything more, so she turned to the rest of the people in the room.
“Our country is facing a crisis it has not seen since its founding. Now is not the time for people to argue and fight amongst themselves. If we do not come together and confront the threat posed by the Ming Province and Zhou Kingdoms, we will fall separately. They will not spare you after conquering this land. I would not spare you if I were in their shoes. It is much safer to replace people who would change loyalties at the first sign of trouble with people who they know will be loyal even when their destruction is eminent.”
