(Thank you seeyo, Gone with the Wind for your 60000-dollar tip. Monthly votes in danger, everyone help me!)
In fact, Yue country had already begun to flatter the third Prince Ning Qi.
It was really laughable.
In the battle of Tianxi province, ning Qi had indeed made a great contribution. At the critical moment, he had turned the tide and repelled hundreds of thousands of Chu troops.
However, when he won, the civil and military officials in the court did not dare to make any sound, let alone praise ning Qi’s victory.
This was because the matter of King Chu’s murder had yet to be settled.
At that time, when ning Qi should have been praised the most, the court was silent, as if the victory of Tianxi province had not happened.
However, when the emperor’s decree was passed down, announcing that the murder of King Chu had nothing to do with ning Qi, the flattery of ning Qi in the court of Yue country was like a tsunami.
The reports surged into the palace like a tide.
They were all praising the great victory of Tianxi province.
The opposition between the ruler and subject of Yue country had already been clearly seen.
The last time Ning Zheng had won a miraculous victory in his surprise attack on the king of Chu, the king, ning yuanxian, had tried his best to highlight this victory by rejoicing with the people, pardoning the prisoners of war, and offering sacrifices to his ancestors.
But the reaction of the officials was different.
Moreover, it was the kind of call that was very perfunctory. It sounded especially fake, the kind that was calling while looking at the phone.
On the minister’s desk, the official documents issued by the Bureau of Military Affairs also appeared to be very reformatted, as if there was no passion.
The people were very excited and in high spirits because the surprise attack on the Chu royal capital was simply too shocking.
Only the King, ning yuanxian, and a few other officials were having fun in the court. The rest of the civil and military officials were watching coldly.
This time, when they were praising the victory of the third Prince, ning Qi ...
The situation was reversed.
The civil and military officials were in high spirits and almost exhausted.
The king, ning yuanxian, was watching coldly from the side.
At that time, ning Qi had entered King Chu’s camp alone and allowed himself to be beaten and killed. When he had proven his innocence, ning yuanxian had ordered ning Qi to return to the capital.
This was the last chance ning yuanxian was giving him.
But ning Qi gave up. He still chose to stand on the emperor’s side and ignored his father’s good intentions.
Once again, ning yuanxian felt a chill in his heart.
As a father, he was looked down upon by his son, and the latter did not care about his concern at all.
Ning Qi was so busy licking the emperor’s boots that he didn’t even have the time to do so. Who was the Prince of Yue, ning yuanxian, to him?
Then, ning yuanxian completely understood that there was no way to save his son.
But when the ministers praised ning Qi’s victory, he didn’t object or agree.
This was indeed a victory.
However, the ministers deliberately concealed one thing. There was a clause in the contract between ning Qi and the King of Chu that the border between the two countries would be restored to 25 years ago, which was to cede 200 miles of land to Chu.
The people of Yue State were not complete fools.
Some of the old pedants had also studied it before, and then they had asked questions. Wasn’t that 200 miles of land, which was about one or two counties ‘worth of land, cut off?
However, these voices were completely drowned out as soon as they came out.
Why are you pretending to be a clear-headed party?
Just follow along and get high!
The king, ning yuanxian, did not point this out.
In fact, he also felt that this was a huge victory.
Although it was embarrassing to cede 200 li of land, this time, the State of Yue was in danger of being destroyed. It was already a blessing from the heavens to be able to protect a large part of the land.
This armistice agreement still needed the signature of the king of Yue, ning yuanxian, and a large seal.
But he kept it first and didn’t sign it.
It was not that they were not satisfied with the conditions, but that they were waiting for the safe return of Ning Zheng’s Army.
In the end, during this period of time.
The ministers became more and more intense.
Every day, the court Assembly did nothing but praise ning Qi’s extraordinary achievements.
After that, he reported to the Emperor that the Yue country had won the war and repelled three enemies to protect their territory.
The king, please offer a sacrifice to the heavens to fulfill the wish and let the third Prince, ning Qi, recite the sacrifice to the heavens.
The last time he offered sacrifices to the heavens, it was ning zhengnian who offered sacrifices to the heavenly Shu and started his inheritance war.
It was only when ning Yi’s position as the heaven worshiping Crown Prince was shaken that he was forced to go to the battlefield of the South beating Kingdom to make contributions and stabilize his position as the Crown Prince. As a result, he was destroyed.
This time, the ministers had requested ning Qi to recite the astronomical sacrifice. The next thing to do was to request that ning Qi be conferred the title of Duke of Yue.
Ning Yi’s position as Crown Prince had not been completely abolished.
Once ning Qi became the Duke of Yue, Zhu Hong and the others would submit a memorial to the king to strip ning Yi of his Crown Prince position.
Then, ning Qi would take over the position of Crown Prince, and it would be perfectly justified.
The civil and military officials all had their own plans, but how could ning yuanxian let them have their way?
He just kept dragging it.
The ministers began to speak alarmist words.
The last time he offered sacrifices to the heavens, there were dark clouds and Thunder, and then the sky suddenly became clear.
This was a sign that they would lose first and then win this war of National fate.
This was a blessing from the heavens.
Now, more than a year had passed, and the war situation in Yue country had already been won.
Shouldn’t he offer another sacrifice to the heavens and thank the heavens for its protection?
This really made sense.
Even ning yuanxian felt that this war of National fate was really the will of heaven. How similar was it to the weather during the last worship?
They had thought that their country was going to be destroyed, but in the end, they had achieved a glorious victory.
It was also at this moment!
An emergency report from Tiannan province. An earthquake has occurred. Thousands of houses have collapsed, and hundreds of people have been injured or killed.
As a result!
The civil and military officials of Yue State shouted again, asking His Majesty to offer sacrifices to the heavens to fulfill his wish.
It was because of the heavens “blessing that they were able to win this war and protect the Yue country for hundreds of years.
If he did not offer sacrifices to the heavens? Wouldn’t that be ungrateful?
Wouldn’t that anger the heavens?
The earthquake was a warning.
This saying was not only popular in the Imperial court, but also among the people.
Even the king believed it.
Therefore, not only did the officials present their proposals, but they also invited the king to offer sacrifices to the heavens.
The people of the world also yearned for the king to worship heaven, especially the people who had suffered from the earthquake in Tiannan province.
He hoped that the king could offer sacrifices to the heavens to calm the anger of the heavens and return peace to Tiannan province.
How could the people of the world understand the unfathomable intentions of the officials of the court?
Offering sacrifices to the heavens at this time?
It was obvious that Ning Zheng would not be able to make it back in time, but there should at least be a Prince who would pray to the heavens, right?
The other princes were not qualified, and only ning Qi was left.
And the power to perform prayers to the heavens was usually the power of the young ruler of a country.
If ning yuanxian agreed to offer sacrifices to heaven, then he would let ning Qi recite the Book of sacrifice.
Then wouldn’t it be reasonable for the ministers to submit a memorial to confer ning Qi the title of Duke of Yue?
However, this time, it was indeed a matter of course. Ning yuanxian could not refuse the wishes of the people.
Therefore, ning yuanxian issued a decree,”on the ninth day of the seventh month, we will offer sacrifices to the heavens to fulfill our wish!”
As soon as this decree was announced, the officials and the people cheered.
Your Majesty is wise!
After that, ning Qi left Tianxi province and rushed to the capital.
At this time, Ning Zheng was still in Chu country.
..............................
1st of July.
The third Prince, ning Qi, led 3000 cavalrymen back to the capital of Yue State.
The entire capital was in an uproar again.
All the civil and military officials came out to welcome ning Qi’s triumphant return.
The king, ning yuanxian, was not feeling well, so he did not come.
But all the officials, Zhu Hong, Zhong ‘e, ning Qi, ning gang, and the others, had come.
Tens of thousands of people from the capital had also come to welcome ning Qi.
They had been organized to come here, but they were more willing.
Because in this battle, ning Qi had indeed performed beautifully. They had repelled hundreds of thousands of troops from Chu State, recaptured hundreds of miles of lost land, and saved Yue State from its imminent doom.
“Long live, long live, long live!”
“Long live the Yue country, Long Live the King!”
Hearing the cheers of the people, ning Qi’s heart jumped.
The word ” long live ” could be used randomly in the past, but it could not be used now. It had become the exclusive word of the Emperor.
However, what could he do? he couldn’t possibly berate the people in public.
third Prince, His Majesty is feeling unwell. He asked me to welcome you into the city. “Please drink to your heart’s content,” ning Qi’s Royal uncle said.
Ning Qi took it and drank it all in one go.
He was a little disappointed.
Father was really not a qualified ruler. Was this the time to be angry?
In this battle of National fate, the monarch sent them out of the city. Then, when the triumphant Army returned, the king should also welcome the victorious Army into the city.
This is called “finishing what you started.” Father, just because you have an opinion of me, you want to chill the hearts of the soldiers?
Although he was not happy, ning Qi did not show it on his face.
“Enter the city!”
The Vermilion Bird gate opened.
Ning Qi led 3000 cavalrymen along the Vermilion Bird Avenue and headed for the palace.
On both sides of the main road, tens of thousands of people lined up to welcome him.
“Victory, victory, victory Suan ni!”
“The third Prince is mighty!”
“Mighty Yue country!”
This wasn’t entirely a lie. At this moment, the people of the capital really loved ning Qi.
Of course, they also admired Ning Zheng.
But if there was a balance, their hearts would still lean towards ning Qi.
After all, ning Qi had repelled hundreds of thousands of troops from Chu State and even killed the King of Chu.
Even though the truth of the Empire of Yan’s investigation was that ning Qi had nothing to do with King Chu’s death ... However, in the hearts of the people of Yue State, they firmly believed that ning Qi was the one who killed King Chu.
Therefore, at this moment, ning Qi’s weight had surpassed Ning Zheng’s.
As for His Highness Ning Zheng.
It had been a long time since there was any news.
The King of Chu had killed his way back to the capital, while Ning Zheng and Shen lang only had 9000 troops. They should have given up on the King of Chu and escaped.
Of course, the people of Yue country completely understood this kind of behavior. It was because His Highness Ning Zheng had already achieved his goal. It was precisely because he had successfully launched a surprise attack and taken down the Royal capital of Chu that the Army of Chu State stopped the war in Tianxi province.
However, it was not a glorious thing to escape. Although no one said anything, they were inevitably a little disappointed.
In comparison, His Highness ning Qi’s victory was flawless. Therefore, in the eyes of the people in the world, it would be good for His Highness ning Qi to inherit the throne in the future.
Ning Qi’s Royal uncle and ning Qi were riding together.
“Ning Qi, what about Ning Zheng’s?”
Ning Qi said, ” fifth brother is determined not to retreat. Instead, he has retreated to the inner city of the Chu royal capital. He has cut off his own path of escape. He has already been surrounded by the King of Chu’s 200000 troops.
Ning Qi sighed in his heart. If that was the case, the entire Army would probably be annihilated?
Ning Zheng was still too upright. For a mere reputation, he actually gambled the lives of 9000 troops.
Why didn’t they take advantage of the fact that King Chu’s Army had yet to return to the capital and escape? Was reputation more important? Or was his life more important? Or was the 9000-man army more important?
He knew how to advance, but not retreat.
From the looks of it, ning Qi was indeed not bad, much better than ning Yi. If he were to inherit the throne, it would not be a bad result.
..................
Ning Qi entered the palace and greeted the king, ning yuanxian.
“Your son pays his respects to father. Long live father.”
“Are you sure that the term” longevity and golden peace “can be used on me?” ning yuanxian asked.”Is it not overstepping my boundaries?”
These words were the greatest irony.
Ning Qi, you’re so filial to the Emperor, you must not break the taboo.
Ning Qi didn’t explain. He just kowtowed. I’m afraid.
Ning yuanxian looked at his son. He had lost a lot of weight and his body was covered in wounds, but he was still as sharp as a sword.
What an outstanding son he was.
“Ning Qi, do you really believe that you’re right?” ning yuanxian could not help but ask.
“Yes!” Ning Qi said.
Ning yuanxian said, ” regarding the new governance of Yue country, Shen lang once used a phrase from the Book of Changes. there is no end to it. This is the world! At that time, what he meant was that the new governance of the State of Yue was in full swing. However, don’t forget that the State of Yue was only a vassal state of the Great Yan Dynasty. If the Empire of Yan were to use the same method to deal with the Yue in the future, what would you do?”
Ning Qi didn’t say anything.
Ning yuanxian continued,”of course, if the new governance of the State of Yue is completely successful, we will be much stronger than we are now. In the future, we will also have more power to resist the invasion of the Empire.” Then let me ask you now, His Majesty the Emperor has conferred you the title of Prince of Yue, and you have agreed. His Majesty even appointed a high-ranking official to be the Prime Minister of Yue State and you agreed. Then, if the future emperor wants my State of Yue to disband our Army and make it less than 100000 people, will you agree? The future emperor will send someone to take charge of the Bureau of Military Affairs of Yue State, will you agree?”
Ning Qi instinctively wanted to say, ” the timing is unpredictable. in the words of the Book of Changes, ” we should be hiding in the abyss and waiting for the opportunity.
But if he said this, wouldn’t he be rebelling against the Emperor?
So he couldn’t say this.
Ning Qi was silent.
“One step back, one step back!” “You might say that you’re waiting for the right time,” ning yuanxian said. Since Jin country and Xin Qian country are so powerful, they won’t be willing to wait for their deaths. When they resist and the world is in chaos, you’ll take the opportunity to escape, right?”
Ning Qi was silent.
“Then don’t forget, when the State of Yue implemented new policies, the Jin family also wanted to hide under the big tree of North Garrison Marquis, Nangong ao, because Nangong ao was the No. 1 aristocrat in Tiannan province. But in the end?” Nangong ao had already surrendered to the new government before I could even make a move. When a backer falls, he can only rely on himself. You, ning Qi, are very smart, but you’re just too smart. You lack the unyielding will of Ning Zheng.”
Ning Qi’s face trembled, and he couldn’t help but refute in his heart.
Did he have to be like Ning Zheng, who would rather die than submit, and eventually destroy his country and clan?
Why did he have to be the first bird? Why don’t you let others take the lead?
Ning yuanxian said, ” if we were to rank the people in the world, Emperor Jiang Li is the best. Jin Jun is the best. Ning Zheng is the best. And you, ning Qi, are only the middle-upper class.
Ning Qi’s heart twitched, and he was extremely unwilling. How humiliating was it to label him as an upper-middle class?
“Of course, I’m below average,” ning yuanxian said with a self-deprecating smile.
Finally, ning Qi could not help but ask,”what about Shen lang?” What rank is he?”
“That Rascal is despicable,” ning yuanxian said.”He has no rank.”
.....................
After ning Qi returned.
The memorials from the civil and military officials surged up like a tide.
Your Majesty, please let His Highness ning Qi recite the sacrifice to Tian Shu.
These memorials were all suppressed by ning yuanxian.
The next day, all the officials submitted their memorials.
Your Majesty, please let His Highness ning Qi recite the sacrifice to Tian Shu.
This situation had occurred once more. All of the officials in the Imperial court voiced a single opinion.
Zhu Hong, Zhong ‘e, Ning Yu, and the other big shots all publicly submitted memorials, asking ning Qi to recite the heavenly sparse.
“Royal uncle ning Qi, what do you think?” ning yuanxian asked.
The meaning was very clear, and it made ning Qi raise a different opinion.
As the king, it was not good for him to personally take part.
Ning Qi’s Royal uncle was an honest and good man. He was extremely loyal and had always stepped forward at the most crucial moment.
Ning Qi knew what the king meant.
But after hesitating for a long time, he really felt that His Highness ning Qi was not bad.
Of course, Ning Zheng was also very good, but ning Qi was still better.
Why is His Majesty so biased against his Highness ning Qi?
Gritting his teeth, ning Qi decided to follow his will and said, ” I also agree. Let the third Prince, His Highness ning Qi, recite the sacrifice to the sky during the worship ceremony.
Ning yuanxian’s expression changed drastically.
How come even you, ning Qi, have changed your stance? It’s not that you don’t know what I mean.
Ning Qi knew that he had disappointed the king, but he felt that he was doing this for the benefit of Yue country.
The king, ning yuanxian, sneered.
That’s fine, then I’ll personally take the field.
“Ning Zheng was the one who prayed to the heavens the last time.” “My fellow ministers, why don’t you pay attention to following one’s lead and ending it?” ning yuanxian laughed.
The ministers were embarrassed.
At this time, the head of the Bureau of Military Affairs stepped out and said, ” “Your Majesty, His Highness Ning Zheng has made great contributions in this war, so it’s appropriate for him to recite the Book. However, he was still in the Chu country. According to the latest intelligence, at the critical moment, His Highness Ning Zheng was still unwilling to lead his Army out of the Chu royal capital. As a result, he was surrounded by King Chu’s Army of more than 200000 and has already retreated into the inner city. There has been no news of him since.”
The king, ning yuanxian, frowned.
For this matter, he had already sent several emissaries to the King of Chu in order to let Ning Zheng retreat safely.
“In the process, my brother Zhong Yao and his Highness ning Qi both wrote secret letters to His Highness Ning Zheng. He was asked to retreat before the king of Chu’s Army arrived at the capital, because the strategic purpose had been achieved and there was no need to make any unnecessary sacrifices, but His Highness Ning Zheng refused. In the following situation, if His Highness Ning Zheng becomes King Chu’s captive, our Yue State may have to pay a certain price to redeem him. So, it is probably not realistic to let His Highness Ning Zheng recite the worship of Tian Shu.”
This was interesting.
They had already determined that Ning Zheng had either been killed or captured. In this way, Yue country would fall into a huge passive state. Therefore, Ning Zheng would defend the capital of Chu instead of retreating. Not only would he not succeed, but he would also be at fault.
As soon as he said this, all the officials shook their heads and sighed.
He sighed with emotion that His Highness Ning Zheng was indeed too stubborn. He had obviously won a big victory, but he still wanted to create more problems and bring great trouble to Yue country.
None of the officials spoke up for Ning Zheng.
And at this moment.
A person stood out and sneered, ” “Milords, has the news arrived? Why do you keep saying that His Highness Ning Zheng has been captured or killed? How do you know that His Highness Ning Zheng won’t make it back in time?”
This man was Zhang Ji, the son of Zhang Ji.
He had already ascended to the fifth rank and was now an imperial censor.
However, he was only a minor official in the Imperial court and had almost no right to speak.
As soon as he said that, everyone felt disdain in their hearts.
Ning Zheng had already retreated to the inner city of the Chu royal capital and was surrounded by an Army of more than 200000.
That was an enemy country, an enemy city.
There hadn’t been any news for a long time, so it was highly likely that the entire Army had been annihilated.
They would either be captured or killed.
If Ning Zheng and Shen lang could defeat King Chu’s Army of 200000 with only 9000 men, they would not be humans but gods.
“Your Majesty, His Highness Ning Zheng’s performance during the last worship ceremony is still fresh in my mind. In order not to anger the heavens, I feel that it’s necessary to be loyal to one person, and still let His Highness Ning Zheng be in charge of this worship to the heavens.”
Immediately, the censor stood out and said coldly, ” “What if His Highness Ning Zheng doesn’t come back? There’s only seven days left until the worship ceremony. Do you want His Majesty to recite the worship ceremony personally?”
At this moment, Prime Minister Zhu hongzhu stepped out of the ranks and bowed. “Your Majesty, how about this?”
“Speak,” ning yuanxian said.
This attitude was already very cold. In the past, it would have been his Prime Minister’s father who asked to speak. At this time, ning yuanxian was even too lazy to act with Zhu Hong.
Zhu hongzhu said,”for this worship ceremony, His Highness Ning Zheng will still be the one to worship Tian Shu, but His Highness ning Qi will be a substitute.” In case His Highness Ning Zheng can’t make it back in time, His Highness ning Qi will recite this book of sacrifice to heaven.”
What did he mean by what if Ning Zheng couldn’t make it back in time?
In everyone’s hearts, Ning Zheng would definitely not be able to make it back.
They had been surrounded for more than a month, and even the gods could not save them.
The king, ning yuanxian, thought for a while and nodded. “Yes!”
Then, ning yuanxian issued a decree that Ning Zheng would be the one to perform the ritual, and ning Qi would be a substitute.
This was also a concession by the ministers to the monarch.
However, they felt that this concession was basically irrelevant.
Because Ning Zheng was destined not to come back!
However,
At this moment.
A series of shouts could be heard from outside.
“Eight hundred miles per hour, eight hundred miles per hour!”
Then, a thousand-man commander rushed into the palace. It was Lan Yi.
He, wasn’t he by Ning Zheng’s side?
Why did he come back?
congratulations, Your Majesty!
His Highness Ning Zheng repelled King Chu’s 200000-strong Army and won.
“This is the new armistice agreement signed by King Chu and his Highness Ning Zheng.”
“This is the letter of credence from King Chu to His Majesty, to announce that the armistice agreement that was signed previously is now void.”
As soon as he said this.
The entire place was dead silent.
Oh my God?
There was too much information in this.
Just what had happened?
Ning Zheng’s 9000 men retreated to defend internal affairs and repelled King Chu’s 200000 troops?
Here, they used repel, not annihilate.
However, how could King Chu let this matter rest?
For the People’s hearts and for revenge, he should fight to the end and completely annihilate Ning Zheng’s 9000 men.
Also, what do you mean by signing a new armistice agreement?
The previous armistice agreement was invalid?
In other words, the truce agreement signed by His Highness ning Qi was invalid?
Hearing this, the officials of Chu State were furious.
What did Lord Chu mean by this?
Did the previous armistice agreement not count just because he said so?
What do you think the Yue country is?
And your Highness Ning Zheng, you actually signed a new truce agreement with King Chu?
There must be an unspeakable conspiracy in this.
It must be that Ning Zheng’s Army was surrounded by King Chu and was in a desperate situation.
In order to survive, Ning Zheng signed a new agreement with the King of Chu. He must have sold out more interests of Chu country. This new armistice agreement would be a great humiliation to the country.
Immediately, all the Imperial censors present stepped out and began to curse.
“Great king, the armistice agreement can’t be changed, it can’t be changed!”
Your Majesty, I impeach fifth Prince Ning Zheng for betraying Yue country’s interests and having an affair with King Chu for his own personal gain and for the sake of his life. He even signed an unfair contract.
“My King, the interests of the Yue country can not be violated. We will not acknowledge any new agreement.”
The entire court was filled with righteous indignation.
They were all too familiar with Ning Zheng’s strategy.
They had clearly lost the fight, yet they claimed it as a victory. He had obviously betrayed the interests of Yue country and risked his life, but he said that he had repelled the Army of Chu country.
Didn’t Crown Prince Ning Yi do the same thing last time? He claimed that he had almost annihilated Jin Jun’s main force.
Ning Zheng’s so-called new agreement must be very harsh and humiliating.
At this moment, Lan Yi opened the new armistice agreement and read it out loud.
First, the Army of Yue State must withdraw from the capital of Chu State. Chu state’s Army must not launch any attacks, and on the way back, they must sell provisions and materials to the Army of Yue State.
Second, the Chu and Yue country will completely stop fighting and the border will return to the state it was two years ago.
Third, the heavenly law would provide two million gold coins to Chu in the next five years to build a new royal palace.
The fourth condition was that the Chu State allowed the heavenly Dao Association to set up related commercial organizations in the country.
After he finished reading!
“May I ask if this new armistice agreement is humiliating?” Lan Yi shouted.
Everyone was silent.
Lan Yi sneered, ” everyone still remembers the armistice agreement that His Highness ning Qi signed with King Chu, right? the most important one is that the Chu and Yue countries will stop fighting and the border will return to the state it was 25 years ago. In other words, my State of Yue will have to cede 200 li of land. I know that everyone likes to play dumb, but is this the truth?”
This was a slap to the faces of all the officials.
Especially when it hit ning Qi’s face.
Of course, this was the truth. However, they deliberately concealed this fact from the people of Yue country and then shouted for victory.
Lan Yi said,”after his Highness Ning Zheng heard of the previous armistice agreement, he couldn’t calm down for a long time. He’s not willing to give up an inch of land.” That’s why he decided not to withdraw the 9000 troops and to continue defending the Chu royal capital. He wanted to give King Chu a painful beating and force him to sign a new armistice agreement.”
“In the battle of the Chu royal capital, we repelled the Chu army on the first day, and the Chu army suffered nearly 30000 casualties. On the second day, the Chu army suffered close to 20000 casualties! If this wasn’t a glorious victory, what was it? Could it be that you all thought that it was because of Crown Prince Ning Yi’s shameless good news?”
“Our Nirvana Army has fought to the death for Yue country. For the sake of Yue country, His Highness Ning Zheng had almost put himself in a desperate situation. How did this become a mistake? how did this become a humiliation to the country? How absurd is that?”
“Sirs and madams, you keep on saying that you don’t recognize the new armistice agreement. Could it be that you want to helplessly watch my State of Yue cede its territory?”
“For the sake of the party’s struggle and your own interests, can you all throw away your face?”
“Zhu Hong is the sovereign!” Lan Yi roared. He was really a Tiger.
Zhu hongzhu’s face trembled before he said, ” “General LAN, what can I do for you?”
Lan Yi asked,”young master Shen lang asked me to ask you, which one should our Yue country choose?” Which one should I discard?”
Everyone’s teeth turned cold.
Shen lang, you thief, you’re really ruthless. You didn’t give me any face at all. This isn’t just a slap in the face, you’re practically tearing off the skin of my face.
Zhu Hong’s hands trembled as he replied, ” if there are no other conditions, of course I’ll choose the latter.
Lan Yi then looked at ning Qi and said,”Your Highness the third Prince, you were the one who signed the previous armistice agreement.” It says that the border will be restored to the state it was 25 years ago. Does it mean that my State of Yue will give up 200 li of land?”
F * ck you, Shen lang, your face-smacking is endless.
“Yes,” ning Qi said coldly.
It was fine to hide this matter from the common people, but there was no room for avoidance if it was publicly questioned in the court.
Lan Yi said,”Your Highness ning Qi, then what kind of armistice agreement do you think our Yue country should choose?” Do we need to discard the one you signed?”
“Of course, the truce agreement between Fifth brother and King Chu is better,” ning Qi said, his face twitching.
Lan Yi then looked towards the head of the Bureau of Military Affairs and said,”Lord Zhong ‘e, which agreement do you think is better?”
F * ck!
Lan Yi, are you done?
There should be an end to face smacking.
If you ask them one by one, are you going to give everyone a slap in the face?
Zhonger instinctively looked at the king, ning yuanxian.
Your Majesty, are you going to let this little thousand-man commander slap the officials in the face?
However, ning yuanxian actually laid back, as if he was watching a good show.
Was the separation between the ruler and the subject over here?
“If there are no other conditions, of course the latter agreement is better,” the head of the Bureau of Military Affairs said.
Lan Yi took out another document. Your Majesty, this is the letter of credence from the King of Chu. He is explaining to you why you want to sign a new armistice agreement and why you want to nullify the previous one.
F * ck!
Now, not only was Shen lang here to slap ning Qi in the face, but King Chu was also here to slap ning Qi in the face?
I didn’t see it, Chu huaixin?
Previously, when we were in Tianxi province, you called ning Qi your brother and told him everything.
He kept saying that he wanted to help me.
In the end, after returning to the capital, you directly betrayed me, ning Qi?
A ruthless slap on my face?
What kind of drug did Shen lang give you?
You actually let Shen lang and Ning Zheng off like this? they burned down your Palace, how are you going to answer to the soldiers? How would he answer to the people of Chu State?
Not only ning Qi was confused.
The ministers were also puzzled.
Why?
Why did Lord Chu do this?
Clearly, the previous agreement was more in line with the interests of Chu State.
Suddenly, an imperial censor jumped out and said,”Your Majesty, this doesn’t make sense. Ning Zheng and Shen lang only had less than 9000 troops, while King Chu had 200000 troops. Furthermore, this was in the capital of King Chu. What right did the King of Chu have to sign a new armistice agreement with His Highness Ning Zheng? furthermore, it was a truce agreement that was not beneficial to Chu. There must be a secret agreement here. Shen lang and his Highness Ning Zheng must have signed a secret agreement with King Chu. The contents of this secret agreement must have betrayed the huge benefits of our Yue country. Your Majesty, please investigate this thoroughly!”
F * ck, this is what I call slandering.
This was what they called groundless.
The Imperial censor suddenly kowtowed and said, ” Your Majesty, there must be a conspiracy. His Highness Ning Zheng and King Chu must have a secret agreement to betray the country. You must not agree to it. For the sake of the hundred-year foundation of our Yue State, you must not rashly agree.”
“Interesting, interesting.” Ning yuanxian’s eyes narrowed as he smiled. For the sake of profit, they can throw away their face. Regardless of whether it’s right or wrong, they can completely cast aside the interests of the country.”
“Men, kill this censor!”
As soon as he said this, eunuch Li Sun waved his hand, and two warriors immediately tried to drag the censor out.
“There’s no need to drag him out. Just kill him in court!” Ning yuanxian said.
“Yes!”
Then, a few Warriors pressed the censor to the ground.
He was beaten to death in front of all the officials!
Blood splattered in the court!
