One admonition after another, and figures knelt on the ground.

They were all veteran officials of the Great Wu, and had previously been wary of Chen Zhennan's high achievements, which is why they had not spoken out to stop him.

However, if Wu Yunyin were to mobilize troops to attack Da Yan, it would inevitably allow other countries to take advantage of the situation, leaving Da Wu vulnerable to attacks from both sides.

At this moment, they could no longer remain silent.

Seeing the old ministers offering their advice, Wu Yunyin was filled with rage, and her beautiful eyes blazed with fury.

Why?

On what grounds?

Does that mean everything I do is wrong, while everything Chen Zhennan does is right?

My abilities are clearly no less than Chen Zhennan's.

This Great Wu is clearly her dynasty too!

"How dare you defy His Majesty! Have you all rebelled against Heaven?!"

Song Xuan immediately stood aside and shouted angrily.

Then, he looked at Wu Yunyin and said, "Your Majesty, I will always stand by your side and support you unconditionally!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Yunyin's eyes instantly reddened.

Sure enough, from beginning to end, only Song Xuan understood him and believed in him.

Everyone else thought of themselves as a useless person, a useless person who needed to rely on Chen Zhennan to make a living!

Meanwhile, the veteran officials were also gritting their teeth. They were wrong. They shouldn't have been so eager to eliminate Chen Zhennan. Now that Song Xuan had gained power, he was the one with the real wolfish ambition!

"My mind is made up, you all must say no more!"

"You all think I'm wrong? Well then, I'll do it anyway. If Chen Zhennan can expand the territory of Da Wu, then I can do it too!"

"I will prove you wrong with my actions!"

Wu Yunyin's words were firm and resolute, and her beautiful eyes revealed a strong determination.

"Your Majesty, if you send troops today, we will die before you!"

All the veteran officials spoke in unison.

Wu Yunyin gritted her teeth, gave no reply, and turned to leave.

"Bang!"

A figure leaped and jumped off the city wall.

"Your Majesty, the Minister of Revenue has committed suicide!"

A eunuch immediately stepped forward and said.

Wu Yunyin remained silent and continued walking slowly.

She wants to prove to everyone that she is no less capable than Chen Zhennan!

"Your Majesty, the Vice Minister of War has committed suicide!"

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has committed suicide!"

"His Majesty……"

One sound after another rang out as Wu Yunyin's fingernails dug deep into her flesh, drawing blood, yet she showed no sign of turning back.

"You tyrant! How could the Great Wu Dynasty not perish with you in its hands!"

"You are stubborn and self-willed, listen to the slander of petty people, force the Prince of Zhennan to flee, force loyal ministers to their deaths, and disregard the common people of the world. After today, the Great Wu will surely perish!"

"The Prince of Zhennan was a man of exceptional talent, wholeheartedly guarding the borders of our Great Wu, yet you forced him to leave. It was you who personally destroyed the century-old foundation of our Great Wu!"

Wu Xiurui burst into tears, his aged body trembling.

Wu Yunyin stopped in her tracks, her cold gaze fixed on Wu Xiurui.

Song Xuan immediately said, "Insolence! Seize this old scoundrel and cut out his tongue!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Xiurui burst into laughter and said directly, "You tyrant and treacherous ministers, even if you can shut my mouth, you can't shut the mouths of the people!"

"I, Wu Xiurui, am not afraid of death, but I have one request."

"Cut off my head and hang it on the city wall. I want to personally witness the triumphant return of the King of Zhennan to the capital!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a long sword pierced through Wu Xiurui's chest.

But a hint of relief appeared on his face, and only one tear slowly rolled down his cheek.

He has failed the late emperor's kindness and favor!

Wu Yunyin's heart trembled. Wu Xiurui was her teacher, but when she thought of his previous words, her heart was instantly filled with anger.

"Do as he says. I want him to see the Great Wu army capture Chen Zhennan alive and return in triumph, and to see the Great Wu, under my leadership, unify the world and bring all nations to pay tribute!"

After saying that, Wu Yunyin turned around and left.

Song Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly and discreetly slipped a slip of paper into the hand of the guard beside him.

The note contained only one line of small writing.

"The plan is proceeding smoothly!"

...

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, Empress Zhou Jianjia sat in a pavilion when a guard rushed forward and knelt down, saying, "Your Majesty, great news! Incredible good news!"

"What's the matter that you're so panicked?"

Zhou Jianjia remained calm, picked up a crystal-clear grape, and put it into her delicate, luscious mouth.

"Empress Wu Yunyin dispatched the Prince of Zhennan back to the country three days ago, but plotted to massacre his generals and wanted to kill him as soon as possible!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jianjia suddenly dropped the grapes she had just picked up, her heart skipped a beat, and she abruptly stood up.

How is Chen Zhennan?

Zhou Jianjia's pretty face was filled with panic; in the whole world, only this man could make her show any emotion.

"King Zhennan fought desperately, but was saved by Song Yunyang at the critical moment."

The guard immediately spoke up.

Hearing this, Zhou Jianjia gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, saying, "Damn it, that bitch beat me to it!"

"Issue my decree: immediately dispatch troops to intercept the Great Yan army. No matter what, no matter the cost, bring Chen Zhennan back to Great Zhou!"

"Yes, sir!"

The soldier said something and left immediately, while also feeling a sense of awe. He thought to himself that Chen Zhennan was probably the only person in the world that all the major countries in the world would be so eager to have.

Even as enemies, they had no choice but to address him respectfully as "Your Highness."

The Empress of Great Wu was utterly foolish; she personally drove away such an important minister, thus extinguishing Great Wu's hope of unification.

If even a soldier like him can figure this out, why can't Empress Wu understand it?

Zhou Jianjia looked up at the sky where the clouds rolled and unfolded, a faint smile appearing on her lips.

"Wu Yunyin, Wu Yunyin, should I say you are confused or stupid?"

"You've got to choose between Chen Zhennan and your pretty boy childhood sweetheart."

"Zhennan, don't worry, I will bring you home immediately. You can only belong to me!"

...

The Da Gan Dynasty, a small country shattered by Chen Zhennan, with a population of less than 100,000.

Inside the palace, the man was drinking and drowning his sorrows, a routine he had maintained for many years.

Who would have thought that this unkempt man, who seemed indifferent to politics, was the one with the best chance of achieving unification before Chen Zhennan even appeared?

But Chen Zhennan's appearance completely destroyed it.

In just three days, his 700,000-strong army was burned to ashes, and he never recovered, eventually having no choice but to submit to the Great Wu.

Just then, a man rushed in, shoved the wine bottle off his table, and said in a trembling voice, "It's done! Your Majesty, our plan has finally succeeded!"

"Song Xuan actually drove Chen Zhennan away!"
