Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 121

Chapter 121 Tied Up Second Prince
This second prince, Chen Bao, because his mother was the princess of the Southern Region and was deeply doted on by the Emperor, the Emperor was also very indulgent towards him. Therefore, he had always been a self-indulgent child and had become a habit. He had always only considered his own personal interests and never thought of others.

Therefore, he would never have thought that, The 200,000 soldiers he took with him today, At the same time, it was also the hope of 200,000 families. These people were likely to die because of his decision. 200,000 families in the Great Chen Kingdom would never be able to reunite again. Right now, all he was thinking about was that he absolutely couldn’t let Mu Linghua leave the Great Chen Kingdom. He had to protect her life, so he was confident that he would lead the troops to the war.

However, it is often counterproductive, When he brought 200,000 soldiers of the Great Chen Empire with him, Coming to where the army of Ye Lan was stationed, Only after truly confronting the Ye Lan army did he realize how childish his thoughts were. After a few battles, big and small, the Great Chen army was beaten to the point where they were powerless to retaliate. In less than half a month, there were only more than 50,000 of the 200,000 soldiers left in his hands, but he still refused to admit defeat.

Today, he gathered all the generals in the army and went to the tent to discuss matters. After everyone sat down, he said, “Today, this prince has gathered all of you here to tell everyone that this prince has already decided. I intend to gather all the surviving soldiers and launch a final attack on the army of Ye Lan. We must push back the army of Ye Lan and avenge all the soldiers who died in battle.”

When the generals heard his words, Someone immediately objected, “I hope the second prince thinks twice, I, Da Chen, have been dispatching troops for less than half a month, Two hundred thousand soldiers left only fifty thousand soldiers, Moreover, there are still some who are injured and unable to fight. There are still 200,000 soldiers in the Ye Lan army, and all of them are strong. If our Great Chen Nation barely goes out to fight now, I’m afraid it will be dangerous. In my opinion, we should bring the surviving soldiers back to the city. This way, we can at least save the lives of these 50,000 soldiers … ”

However, before he could finish his sentence, Chen Bao stopped him, “Shut up, you coward who fears death. The soldiers of our Great Chen Kingdom will not surrender, let alone be the cowards who escape halfway. No one will disturb the morale of the army, and those who violate will be killed without mercy.”

Before this prince left for the city, he promised Father that no matter what, he would repel the army of Ye Lan and vow to preserve the prestige of our Great Chen Kingdom. If this prince returns to the city with his troops now, how do you want me to explain this to Father? ” This Chen Bao was a spoiled child. For the sake of his words, he had to throw the lives of these 200,000 soldiers here.

The soldiers saw that he had already made up their minds and had no room to change their minds, and they couldn’t bear to lose the lives of these 50,000 soldiers just like that. Thus, they no longer cared about their identities. They directly walked to his side and bowed to him, saying, “I’m sorry, Second Prince.”

Then, he tied him up firmly with his hands and feet, Then, the leader of the generals said to him, “For the sake of my Great Chen fifty thousand soldiers’ lives, He could only grieve the Second Prince, All our generals have agreed, “I plan to take advantage of the silence of the night to bring the army back to the city. We know that you will not agree. Therefore, in order for things to proceed smoothly, we have no choice but to kidnap you. I hope that the Second Prince will forgive us for offending you. When we return to the city, we will report everything to the Emperor. When the time comes, we will rely solely on the Emperor to handle it.”

After Chen Bao heard this, he said angrily, “You are committing the following crimes. You are committing a great crime of conspiracy. Quickly untie this prince, and then lead the troops with this prince to repel the army of Ye Lan. This prince can ignore the past. Otherwise, after returning to the city, this prince will definitely report to Father and exterminate your clan.”

Chen Bao thought to himself, if the army returned to the city now, then in order for Ye Lan to retreat, Great Chen would definitely hand Mu Linghua over to Huyou Mingshuo and submit to him from now on. Then wouldn’t all his efforts be in vain? Of course, he wouldn’t be willing.

After hearing this, the general said, “When we return to the city, if the Emperor really wants to offend us, we will not complain. If we can exchange our lives for the lives of fifty thousand soldiers of the Great Chen Kingdom, we will be willing to do so.” Then he said to the other generals, “Leave the two of you to watch over the Second Prince. Everyone else, go down and make arrangements. Tonight, let the army withdraw to the city. If the Emperor blames us, I will bear all the consequences alone.”

When the generals heard his words, their hearts were filled with shock. Their eyes immediately turned red. He was willing to sacrifice the lives of his entire clan in exchange for the survival of these people. Thus, the soldiers bowed gratefully to him and said, “Yes, General, subordinates, let’s go back and arrange this.”

As they spoke, the other generals withdrew from the tent and went down to make arrangements. At the same time, they also made up their minds. If the Emperor blamed them in the future, they would just stand up and shoulder the responsibility together. As the saying goes, if the law does not blame the public, they would not believe that the Emperor would really be able to annihilate the nine races of these people.

Chen Bao, who was tied up, looked at the two people who were left behind and immediately opened his eyes wide in anger. He kept cursing at them, “You greedy villains actually dare to be disrespectful to this prince. I think you’ve eaten Bear Heart Leopard’s courage. They are all bastards. When this prince sees Father Emperor, I will definitely cut you down.”

He definitely couldn’t just go back to the city like this, Before he could repel the Night Tide Army, This way, he would not be able to protect Mu Linghua. After the army returned to the city, Father would definitely hand Mu Linghua over to Huyan Mingshuo. Thinking of Mu Linghua, he felt a burst of heartache. Thus, he roared at the two of them, “You two hurry up and release this prince. I am the prince of the Great Chen Kingdom. How respected is my status? How can you be allowed to offend me at will?” “You are disrespecting the royal family. You are going to destroy the nine races.”

Both of them were peasant children, from a big-headed soldier to a general, I have never seen such a scene before. Hearing his threatening words, the two of them only glanced at each other and nodded to each other. One of them took a towel and stuffed it into his mouth. Then, they said, “Second Prince, this subordinate advised you to save your effort. We will not let you go until the army has withdrawn into the city.”

We can’t watch helplessly as you leave the lives of these fifty thousand soldiers here. Everyone is raised by their parents. For the sake of your face, you didn’t get hurt. In order to protect a second concubine in your mansion, you actually wanted to kill two hundred thousand soldiers. How could you be so selfish? “If the Great Chen Imperial Family is like you, then it is not worth our service.”

Seeing Chen Bao say such words, the two of them felt even colder towards him. Seeing how the Second Prince looked down on people’s lives, and looking at His Highness the Crown Prince, in order to treat the injured people, they not only sent out the doctors in the manor, but also personally went into the palace to ask the Emperor to send the imperial physicians to treat them, and he personally came to the scene to direct them.

The two of them made a comparison in their hearts and looked at the Second Prince with disappointment. It seemed that they should also consider whether they should join His Highness the Crown Prince. After all, only a wise and benevolent monarch could ensure the long-term stability of the Great Chen Kingdom.

They kept watch over the Second Prince until night fell. The soldiers on Da Chen’s camp had already begun to evacuate in an orderly manner. Only then did the two of them escort Chen Bao away. As soon as they made a move, Huyan Mingshuo immediately received the news. However, he ignored it and allowed them all to return to the city.

Therefore, after dawn, the Great Chen camp was empty. When the patrolling soldiers on Yelan’s side discovered it, they quickly ran into Huyan Mingshuo’s tent and reported in panic, “Your Highness, the Great Chen camp is empty. Should we catch up?”

Huyan Mingshuo was currently gathering the generals to discuss the battle. After hearing the soldier’s report, he only slightly raised his eyes to look at him and said, “Yes, I know. You can go down first.”

Afterwards, he said to Mu Lin, “Mu Lin, bring fifty thousand cavalry and chase after them. Don’t be in a hurry to catch up to them. Just force them into the city. As soon as they enter the city, they will immediately surround them and cut off their water and food. This palace wants to see how long his Great Chen Kingdom can last.”

“Yes, Your Highness, this subordinate is going to chase after him now. However, this one can’t be chased. My heart is itching so much that I feel uncomfortable. It’s truly too aggrieved.” This Mu Lin was a militant. As long as there was a war, he could say anything. He could only chase after him but not fight. He immediately felt aggrieved. However, as a soldier, obedience was his duty. No matter how aggrieved he was, he had to carry out it. However, his expression was not good.

Huyan Mingshuo looked at his aggrieved appearance and smiled softly. “Don’t worry, there will be plenty of battles for you in the future. After taking down the Great Chen Kingdom, I plan to bring the Crown Princess back to Yelan. At that time, I will confer you the title of Marshal and let you lead these soldiers of Yelan to take down the rest of the country, okay?”

After hearing this, Mu Lin’s expression turned slightly better. He immediately said with satisfaction, “That’s more like it. You said it yourself. You have to keep your word. Jun Wu is joking.”

“Don’t worry, I always keep my word. As long as you act according to my orders and take down the Great Chen Kingdom as soon as possible, you can lead troops to attack other countries as soon as possible.”

“Alright then, this subordinate is going to besiege the city.” As he spoke, he reluctantly retreated, Huyan Mingshuo and Mu Feng looked at him, He shook his head and smiled. This Mu Lin, ah, didn’t know if he was a fierce ghost on the battlefield of unjust death in his previous life. In this life, he was like a vengeance. As long as he went to the battlefield, he would be a God Killer. If he hadn’t fought for a long time, he would feel as uncomfortable as a thorn. This was the same as when Mu Feng was young.

Hence, Huyan Mingshuo said to Mu Feng, “Tiger father has no rabies. This Mu Lin is the direct descendant of Old General Mu.” As he spoke, everyone burst into laughter. When Mu Feng was young, he was also like the current Mu Lin. He was also a God of Slaughter on the battlefield. At that time, he was also known as the Southern and Northern War Gods with Duanwang of the Great Wei Kingdom. Twelve years ago, when there was a conflict between Yelan and the Great Wei Kingdom, the Great Wei Emperor sent Duanwang to fight, and the Yelan Emperor also sent Mu Feng to lead the battle.

In that battle, because of a moment of negligence, Mu Feng was stabbed in the back by Prince Duan’s knife and fell under his horse, causing Ye Lan to be defeated. Therefore, Ye Lan had no choice but to sign an agreement with Great Wei. Within ten years, Ye Lan’s subjects were not allowed to step into Great Wei, let alone disturb the border of Great Wei. That was also Mu Feng’s only defeat in his life.

Now that he heard Huyan Mingshuo say this, he felt extremely ashamed in his heart, so he said awkwardly, “I’m ashamed. As long as Mu Lin can work for Yelan, it will be his fortune.” As a father, how could he not know why his son would always be the first to charge on the battlefield?

It wasn’t that he wasn’t really afraid of death. Everyone only had one life. If they lost it, they wouldn’t have another. This Mu Lin’s courage wasn’t fake, but it wasn’t a real wall. He just wanted to use his own merits to wash away the humiliation his father had brought to Ye Lan. Therefore, every time he thought of this, Mu Feng would feel ashamed of Mu Lin.

Huyan Mingshuo looked at the expression on Mu Feng’s face and knew what he was thinking. As Mu Lin’s good friend, he also knew what Mu Lin was thinking. Thus, he said, “Old General, you and your son are both meritorious to me, Ye Lan.”

Chapter 122 Siege A City
After that, he said to the generals, “Since the Great Chen army has already withdrawn, everyone should relax first. Pass down the order and let the military chef add food tonight. Let the soldiers eat and drink properly. These days, everyone has been working hard. Take it as a reward for the soldiers. Perhaps, they will soon follow General Mu Lin to the various countries.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” After the generals finished speaking, they bowed to Huyan Mingshuo. They turned around and left the tent. Huyan Mingshuo walked into the room as usual and told Fu Yingran about the decision just now, wanting to hear her opinion.

After listening to him, Fu Yingran pondered for a moment and said, “En, it’s good that you make this decision. This way, not only will the casualties of the army be reduced, but it will also cut off the Great Chen Kingdom’s path of retreat. I estimate that within three days, the Great Chen Kingdom will definitely hand over Mu Linghua and submit to me, Ye Lan.”

Judging from what he had learned from Zhou Qing, the emperor of the Great Chen Kingdom was indeed a good emperor who loved his people as much as a son. If the Yelan army surrounded the city, the city would be cut off from food and water, and the Tian Yi Villa would be completely evacuated from the Great Chen Kingdom. With the little savings he had in the Great Chen Kingdom’s treasury, he could barely maintain the livelihood of the entire army and people of the city for three days at most.

At that time, Emperor Da Chen would definitely open the city to surrender so that the people in the city wouldn’t be hungry and frozen. This was the difference between Ming Jun and Dim Jun.

After Huyan Mingshuo heard this, he nodded and replied, “Well, I hope it’s as you said. We can only wait now.”

On this side, after Mu Lin brought his army into the city, he ordered people to surround the entire city. When the soldiers and civilians saw him, they hurriedly ran into the palace to report to Emperor Da Chen. At this moment, Emperor Da Chen was in his own bedroom, worried about the 200,000 soldiers.

Suddenly, the door of his bedroom was pushed open. His personal eunuch ran in panicked and immediately knelt on the ground and said, “Reporting to Your Majesty, something is wrong. The Second Prince was brought back by his men. He has already arrived at the entrance of the palace. Your Majesty, hurry up and take a look.” This eunuch had always been an old man following Emperor Da Chen. Of course, he knew that the Emperor had always doted on this second prince. Therefore, when he received the report from the guards guarding the palace gate, he immediately ran over and told the Emperor.

After Emperor Da Chen heard this, he frowned slightly. What exactly was going on? How could this Bao’er be kidnapped by his subordinates? Something big must have happened in the middle. He really should have gone to take a look, so he said to the eunuch, “En, let’s go and see what happened together. It actually caused our Great Chen soldiers to kidnap our Great Chen’s prince.” As he spoke, he lifted his foot out of his bedroom and headed towards the entrance of the palace.

“Yes, Your Majesty,” the eavesdropper replied after listening in. Then, he immediately got up from the ground and followed behind Emperor Da Chen towards the entrance of the palace.

When they arrived at the entrance of the palace, they saw Chen Bao, who had his hands and feet tied up tightly, standing there with his chest raised. Behind him, a dozen soldiers were kneeling down in unison.

When Emperor Da Chen saw this, he was puzzled. This time, even he couldn’t see why.

So he looked down at these people and said, “What exactly is going on? Someone come out and explain it to me clearly.”

Hearing his voice, all the soldiers kneeling on the ground raised their heads. When they saw Emperor Da Chen right in front of them, all the soldiers hurriedly bowed and said, “Greetings, Your Majesty. Long live my Emperor!”

Immediately after, the leading general knelt two steps forward and came to the Emperor. He kowtowed to him and said, “Your Majesty, the situation is like this. Back then, when the army of Ye Lan was at the gates, the Second Prince forcibly brought 200,000 soldiers out of the city to fight.”

Originally, for the sake of the dignity of the Great Chen Kingdom, I can’t blame you for intending to fight against the Yelan army. If both sides are equal in strength, we as soldiers of the Great Chen Kingdom should also fight to the death. The horses’ corpses don’t dare to complain, but the Second Prince, knowing that there is a great disparity in strength between the two sides and that our army is invincible, has repeatedly sent our soldiers to their deaths in vain.

It has only been half a month since we dispatched our troops. Of the 200,000 soldiers of our Great Chen Kingdom, less than 50,000 are left. The other 150,000 soldiers have already died for our country. However, the Second Prince is still unwilling to give up. It was only last night that he ordered all the remaining soldiers to gather together in order to launch a final attack on Ye Lan.

Your Majesty, those are 50,000 lives, Of the remaining fifty thousand people, And some of them are crippled, There’s no way to fight, If we go to war, “They can only wait for death. The soldiers were raised by their parents. I really can’t bear to see them die in vain. Therefore, I ordered people to tie up the Second Prince and bring the rest of the soldiers back to the city overnight. All of this was done by me alone. It has nothing to do with anyone else. The Emperor only needs to punish me.” After saying that, he lowered his head and waited for Emperor Da Chen’s final decision.

When the others saw that he had committed all the crimes alone, they immediately refused. Everyone did it together. If they were to be punished, they should also bear it together. It was not a gentleman’s doing to let them hide behind others like this. Therefore, the others also said, “This subject was also involved in this matter. This subject is also guilty. Please punish us as well, Your Majesty.”

After Emperor Da Chen heard their words, The brain exploded with a boom, Two hundred thousand soldiers were brought out, In less than half a month, there were less than fifty thousand left, Some are disabled, The remaining 150,000 soldiers died in vain. That was the hope of 150,000 families. How could he explain this to their families? Thinking of the 150,000 soldiers’ families, Emperor Da Chen’s body shook slightly and he almost couldn’t stand. His personal eunuch saw him, so he hurriedly took two steps forward to support him.

After Chen Bao heard everyone’s words, he actually boasted, “Shut up, they’re all cowards who fear death. Cowards, forget about being afraid of death. You actually dare to tie up this prince. Now you’re saying such a high-sounding thing. Damn it!”

Hearing Chen Bao dare to speak like this, the Great Chen Emperor was so angry that he covered his chest and scolded, “Unfilial son, shut up! That’s a soldier of my Great Chen Kingdom! How can you trample on me like this? 150,000 lives have been ruined in your hands! How can you be so righteous? Who gave you the courage to kneel down before me?” Then he instructed the guards beside him, “Someone, bring the Second Prince down to me and imprison him. Without my orders, he is not allowed to take half a step out of the Second Prince’s hands.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” When the guards behind him heard his instructions, they immediately stood up and escorted Chen Bao to the Second Prince’s mansion.

Then, Emperor Da Chen said to the soldiers kneeling on the ground, “all of you get up, There’s nothing wrong with you guys doing this, I am here to thank you on behalf of the families of these fifty thousand soldiers, If it weren’t for your prompt decision, I’m afraid that even these fifty thousand soldiers wouldn’t be able to return. Therefore, not only are you not guilty, but you have also contributed. Not only will I not punish you, I will also allow you to be promoted to three levels in a row. I hope that you will do your utmost to serve our Great Chen Kingdom in the future and put the interests of our Great Chen people first everywhere. ”

The soldiers kneeling on the ground were overjoyed by this dramatic change. They immediately kowtowed to Emperor Da Chen and said, “Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I will definitely live up to the Emperor’s trust.” After that, everyone supported each other and stood up, preparing to leave the imperial palace and return to the barracks.

Emperor Chen also intended to leave, but before he could move, he saw a guard stumbling over. He knelt in front of him and said with a panicked expression, “Your Majesty, this is bad. The Ye Lan army has surrounded the city. Everyone is permitted to enter and leave. They are going to trap us alive.”

When Emperor Da Chen heard this, he turned around and asked, “What did you say? The army of Ye Lan has surrounded the city?”

“Yes, Your Majesty, not even a fly can fly out now.” The guard said again, trembling with fear.

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Da Chen fell to the ground. Everyone present panicked immediately. They hurriedly helped him up and carried him back to the palace. There was a burst of panic in the palace. Fortunately, Emperor Da Chen finally woke up after being treated by the imperial physicians with all his might. The first thing he said when he woke up was, “All of you go out and leave me alone.” He had to think carefully about what he should do next in order to preserve the Great Chen Kingdom as much as possible and not be shaken at all.

Thus, he locked himself up in the dormitory for a day and night. During this period, he only called a few ministers in charge of the court to discuss matters. No one else was allowed in, not even his favorite Imperial Concubine Li. Therefore, no one knew what kind of countermeasure he had come up with.

In fact, the decisions they made, As Huyan Mingshuo and his wife had expected, On the third day after Mu Lin ordered the siege, the Great Chen Emperor sent an envoy to negotiate with Mu Lin, hoping to resolve this matter peacefully. Mu Lin also knew that he was not a general capable of taking charge of such a matter, so he brought the envoy of the Great Chen Kingdom to Huyan Mingshuo’s tent and asked him to talk to Huyan Mingshuo face-to-face.

The envoy had also visited other countries many times, so he had naturally seen Huyan Mingshuo. Therefore, when he entered the tent and saw Huyan Mingshuo, he obediently bowed to him and said, “The envoy of the Great Chen Kingdom greets His Highness the Crown Prince of Yelan Kingdom.” Since the Emperor had already sent him to the Ye Lan camp to negotiate, that meant that the Great Chen Kingdom had already planned to bow down to Ye Lan. As a subject of the Kingdom of Officials, he would have to bow even more when he saw Huyan Mingshuo.

Huyan Mingshuo saw his attitude and instantly understood Emperor Da Chen’s intentions. Thus, he calmly said, “No need for courtesy. I wonder why your envoy came here?”

Seeing Huyan Mingshuo ask, The envoy stood up and said, “Reporting to His Highness the Crown Prince, “Our emperor has sent officials to deliver a message to His Highness the Crown Prince. My Great Chen Emperor said that we can agree to His Highness’ request, hand over Mu Ling Hua and submit to the Ye Lan Kingdom from now on. However, we hope His Highness the Crown Prince can order the withdrawal of the Ye Lan army from the siege as soon as possible and promise to do everything possible to protect our Great Chen Kingdom from other countries in the future.”

After Huyan Mingshuo heard this, he did not make things difficult for him. He immediately nodded and replied, “Alright, you go back and tell your emperor that I can agree to his request. However, I still have two more requests. I hope that your emperor will agree to them as well.”

“Your Highness, please tell me. I will definitely convey your highness’ words to our emperor truthfully. As long as it is not too excessive, I believe our emperor will definitely agree.” This means that your Crown Prince Shuo can make requests, but you can’t go too far.

After all, this envoy often sent out missions to various countries. Naturally, he was not an idiot. He also knew that as a surrender country, he had to make some concessions. The only thing he could do was to fight for the interests of his country as much as possible.

Huyan Mingshuo couldn’t help but raise his eyes to look at him and say, “Don’t worry, I’m not insatiable. I just hope that your emperor can promise me that the Crown Prince of your Great Chen Kingdom will never be Chen Bao, because I don’t want the country under my control to be controlled by a bastard.”

Chapter 123 Decide To Surrender
“Also, your Great Chen Kingdom has to pay tribute to me, Ye Lan, year after year. As for the specific matters, I will send people to contact you. Of course, because the Great Chen Kingdom was destroyed by the war this year, I will allow you to be exempt from paying tribute like the Great Wei Kingdom this year. Let’s start next year.”

Huyan Mingshuo was not a tyrant. He knew that it was too late, so he didn’t make excessive demands. He just wanted to cut off Chen Bao’s chances of becoming an emperor and then take Mu Linghua away. As for paying tribute, this was a condition that they had to accept as a surrender.

After hearing this, the Great Chen envoy said, After pondering for a moment, He felt that these two requirements weren’t too excessive. The Second Prince was indeed not the Crown Prince’s material. With his insistence on sending troops this time, which resulted in the innocent deaths of hundreds of thousands of Great Chen soldiers, it was absolutely impossible for him to become the monarch of Great Chen again. As for paying tribute, it was understandable. As a surrender, paying tribute was already within their expectations.

Therefore, after a long silence, he agreed, “Your Highness, please rest assured. This official will definitely convey His Highness’ words to our emperor untouched. This official believes that the emperor will definitely give His Highness a satisfactory answer. If His Highness does not have any other instructions, then this official will return first.”

“Well, this palace’s request is only for these two points, as long as your country agrees, “This palace will immediately order the army of Ye Lan to withdraw from the Great Chen Kingdom. Of course, as a surrender country, this palace will also send appropriate officials to assist your country in managing its government affairs. If your envoy has no objection, then go back and tell your emperor what this palace has said. This palace can give you three days to consider it. I hope that you can give this palace an answer as soon as possible.”

After he finished speaking, he instructed the guards beside him, “Someone, send the guests off for this palace.”

“Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince,” the guard then said to the Great Chen envoy, “Your Excellency, please.”

When the Great Chen envoy saw that he had finished speaking, he did not delay any longer. He immediately stood up and bowed to Huyan Mingshuo, “Then I will take my leave first. Your Highness, please rest assured, my Great Chen Kingdom will definitely give His Highness a satisfactory answer as soon as possible.”

After that, he turned around and followed behind the guard. He left Huyan Mingshuo’s tent. After the envoy left, Fu Yingran walked out of the room and sat down beside Huyan Mingshuo. Then, he asked, “How are you going to deal with Mu Linghua if you take her away so forcefully?”

Huyan Mingshuo had specifically asked Great Chen to hand over Mu Linghua. He must have hated her to the bone. Now that Great Chen had already decided to surrender, handing over Mu Linghua was a matter of certainty. She also wanted to know what Huyan Mingshuo was going to do to Mu Linghua.

Hearing Fu Yingran’s question, Huyan Mingshuo did not intend to conceal it, so he looked over and told her everything in his heart, “How should we deal with it? Based on the chaos she created in Ye Lan and the harm she caused to us, I will definitely not let her go.”

Besides, this Mu Linghua is the princess of Nanjiang and the direct daughter of Prince Nanjiang. If I kill her own parents and destroy her homeland, she will definitely retaliate crazily against me. She will definitely fight against Ye Lan at all costs.

I haven’t forgotten, There was also a Crown Prince, Mu Lingfeng, from the Southern Jiang Kingdom. He was still hiding in the Great Wei Kingdom waiting for an opportunity to move, I wanted to cut off his hands and feet, I’m going to take care of her, Mu Linghua, In this way, There was only Mu Lingfeng left in the southern border, and those Nanjiang princesses who had already married into various countries, “As Mu Lingfeng is still only the Crown Prince and has not officially ascended to the throne, Prince Nanjiang has died recklessly and left no explanation for him. Therefore, he should not be very clear about the spies from the various countries he planted. As long as we break through all of them, we will be able to completely disappear Nanjiang from this continent.”

Recalling what King Nanjiang had done over the years, Huyan Mingshuo hated him so much that his teeth itched. He thought that the Yelan Imperial Family, along with his three generations of kings, had been played around by this tiny Southern Jiang King. That was why he had sworn to himself that if he didn’t avenge this, he would not be a human being. If he didn’t uproot this tiny Southern Jiang Kingdom in his life, he wouldn’t be able to swallow this breath to death.

After listening to Huyan Mingshuo’s analysis, Fu Yingran also felt that it was reasonable. Then, he said, “Well, what you said makes sense. This Mu Linghua is Mu Lingfeng’s biological sister. Once the siblings join hands, it will indeed be a lot of trouble for us. We can deal with Mu Linghua first.” Actually, Fu Yingran herself did not like Mu Ling Hua. After all, she had wholeheartedly thought of marrying into the Crown Prince’s Mansion to replace her, so she was quite in favor of Huyan Mingshuo’s decision.

“That ‘s what I’ m worried about, That’s why I have to ask Great Chen to hand over Mu Ling Hua, In this way, Because Great Chen did not protect Mu Linghua, After Mu Lingfeng learns about it, he will definitely ask Concubine Li for punishment. At that time, Concubine Li will also lose Mu Lingfeng’s trust. Similarly, because Concubine Li has already become distracted, Mu Lingfeng will no longer have any intentions of Great Chen. Great Chen has since completely escaped the control of Southern Jiang Country. This is also a good thing for us. ”

Since he had already promised Chen Yong that he would help him preserve his position as Crown Prince and protect Great Chen from other countries, then he had to try his best to eliminate all possible factors. This was also the condition for him to cooperate with the Crown Prince of Great Chen. He, Huyan Mingshuo, had always kept his word.

They had already agreed, Ye Lan could help Chen Yong preserve his position as Crown Prince and help him ascend to the throne of the Great Chen Empire. Moreover, he promised that after Chen Yong ascended to the throne, he would try his best to protect the Great Chen Empire from other countries. Chen Yong had to ensure that the Great Chen Empire would submit to Ye Lan for generations and convince the Great Chen Empire to agree to surrender Mu Ling Hua.

Since he had already reached an agreement, regardless of whether the situation changed or not, he would carry it out. This was his principle for Huyan Mingshuo.

After the envoy of the Great Chen Kingdom returned to the Great Chen Imperial Palace from the Ye Lan camp, He went straight to the Emperor and conveyed Huyan Mingshuo’s words to the Great Chen Emperor. At this moment, he was standing in front of the Great Chen Emperor and said respectfully, “Your Majesty, after I arrived at the Ye Lan Camp, I personally saw the Crown Prince Shuo. At that time, I conveyed the Emperor’s words to the Crown Prince Shuo.”

After hearing this, he readily agreed. He also told me to return and inform the emperor that he could agree to our request and withdraw the Ye Lan army as soon as possible. The Ye Lan Kingdom will also try its best to protect our Great Chen Kingdom so that we will no longer be harassed by other countries. At the same time, he also put forward two conditions, hoping that the emperor would agree to his request. ”

When Emperor Da Chen heard this, he asked, “What kind of request do you have? Tell me about it.”

Actually, he had already made preparations in his heart. Huyan Mingshuo would not agree to his request without any reason. He would definitely put forward the corresponding conditions.

When the envoy saw Emperor Da Chen’s worried expression, he said, She immediately comforted him and said, “Your Majesty, please rest assured that the conditions of the Crown Prince Shuo are not harsh. Everything is within our limits. He only asked us to hand over Mu Linghua and promised him that the Crown Prince of our Great Chen Kingdom can never be the Second Prince. He also said that he would send people to discuss specific matters with us later.

In addition, he also said that because the Great Chen Kingdom was destroyed by the war this year, we were granted the same privilege as the Great Wei Kingdom. We didn’t pay tribute this year and only paid tribute to the Yelan Kingdom next year. At the same time, Yelan also sent some officials to assist the Great Chen Kingdom in handling its political affairs. In my opinion, the conditions that Crown Prince Shuo mentioned were reasonable and not harsh.

The second prince was reckless, and selfish, It is indeed not suitable to be a Savage Monarch, Coupled with his insistence on leading the troops, “This has caused the innocent deaths of more than a hundred thousand soldiers of our Great Chen Kingdom. His prestige in the hearts of the people has already plummeted. If the Emperor makes him Crown Prince again, even the Great Chen Imperial Family will lose their hearts. As for paying tribute this year and dispatching officials to help deal with political affairs, this is a necessary condition for my country.”

These officials of the Great Chen Kingdom, Actually, he had already noticed that, The Emperor had already made up his mind to let the Second Prince replace His Highness the Crown Prince. Although everyone had objections in their hearts, because the Emperor hadn’t formally put forward it, it was hard for them to say anything else. It was just that everyone had tacit understanding. Therefore, this envoy was good enough to persuade the Emperor, hoping that he would comply with Huyan Mingshuo’s request and dismiss the second prince’s plan to become the Crown Prince.

This was done on the one hand to allow Ye Lan to withdraw his troops as soon as possible and restore stability to the people, and on the other hand, for the sake of the Great Chen Kingdom’s eternal foundation. After all, this Second Prince was truly not the material for a Crown Prince. If this Second Prince really became a Crown Prince, after he ascended to the throne, this Great Chen Kingdom would be in danger. After all, only those who had the hearts of the people would be able to obtain the world.

Actually, he wasn’t the only one to blame for leading the troops. At first, the emperor agreed to this decision. However, the emperor was never at fault, so the second prince could only take the blame.

After the emperor heard the envoy’s words, Her heart was extremely awkward. He also knew that, In this battle with Ye Lan, Although the Second Prince was wrong, But it wasn’t all his fault, Back then, he had personally agreed, Now that the army had been defeated, Hundreds of thousands of soldiers died innocently, Facing such a result, there must be someone to take responsibility. His own identity was destined not to be tainted, so he could only acquiesce in letting the Second Prince take the blame. Although he couldn’t bear it, he was helpless. After all, these hundred thousand soldiers should have died because of his improper command.

So he said to the envoy, “Well, I understand what you said. You don’t have to persuade me anymore. I just agree to it. After this incident, I can tell that Bao’er is indeed not suitable for a monarch. His eyes are too narrow and his personality is too reckless. In comparison, the Crown Prince is more of a monarch.”

How can I, relying on my own preferences, ruin the foundation that our ancestors painstakingly built? You can go to the Ye Lan camp again. Tell the Crown Prince that I have agreed to all his requests. Three days later, I will personally leave the city and hand over the surrender form and our Great Chen Kingdom’s jade seal. At the same time, I will hand over Mu Linghua and assure him that the Great Chen Kingdom’s Crown Prince will always be the First Prince, Chen Yong. ”

The Emperor also had his own thoughts. The Crown Prince’s grandfather had died at the hands of the people of Ye Lan, The Crown Prince had a grudge against Ye Lan, so the Crown Prince would definitely not collude with Ye Lan. In the future, he would not become a puppet of the Ye Lan Kingdom. Perhaps after the Great Chen Kingdom stabilized, the Crown Prince would be able to lead the soldiers and civilians of the Great Chen Kingdom to counterattack together and turn the situation around.

After receiving his definite reply, the envoy bowed to the emperor and said, “This lowly official obeys my orders. This lowly official will immediately go to Yelan camp and convey the emperor’s words to Crown Prince Shuo. After all, if Yelan withdraws his troops earlier, the people in the city will be freed one day earlier.”
