Chapter 175: Confident
But he really couldn't do that at the moment. In fact, he also knew how capable his other sons were.
If he were to go to the battlefield, he would probably be defeated before he could even fight a few moves.
He was really pissed off. Why was this the only capable son? Otherwise, he wouldn't have cared about his mood.
I guess the son also grasped this point, so he was fearless.
The other ministers lowered their heads, fearing that the two would notice them.
After all, they can't afford to offend these two people, one of whom is the current emperor.
One is a ruthless war king who holds military power, and they can only reduce their presence.
Don’t you see that Prince Zhan doesn’t even give face to the Emperor, let alone these ministers?
Oh, you really have self-awareness. If anyone dares to complain, just say one more word.
They must be regretting it so much. Why are they so mean and can't help themselves?
Fortunately, fortunately, they held back.
War King, (I was just waiting for you to speak, why are you all so silent? Seriously, this is not fun at all, it's boring.)
Emperor Nanyue sighed helplessly and had to compromise.
"Zhan Wang, tell me! What conditions would you offer to resolve this trouble?
I want to say that no matter what, you are the prince of Longyuan and should devote yourself to Longyuan."
"Your Majesty, please stop saying these things. I'm tired of hearing them.
Just tell me whether you agree to my terms or not. Isn't it better to keep it simple?"
"Speak, speak! I also want to hear what your conditions are. You don't want to bring a woman to the battlefield, do you?"
Dongfang Chen laughed sarcastically, "Your Majesty, do you look down on women? If the Queen Mother heard what you said, she would jump out of the imperial mausoleum to deal with you, this unfilial son."
“Ahem.
Okay, let's get down to business. I don't want to waste my time talking nonsense with you. If you continue, I'll be pissed off to death."
"First, I can take whoever I want with me on this expedition, including my princess, and no one is allowed to interfere.
Don't give me so many rules and regulations. Rules are dead, but people are alive.
Don't send me any military supervisors to cause trouble for me.
Otherwise, I will withdraw from the battlefield immediately. I can do what I say.
Second, let all grain and medicinal material merchants in the capital contribute all their stocks."
“When I go to war, I must take everything with me. The people who will escort the food and medicine must be selected by me personally.
If we don’t contribute now when the country is in danger, are we waiting to make a fortune from the national disaster?
So what's the difference between this and being a traitor? If we don't get rid of the traitor, will we still be around for the New Year?"
The War King's action really left the other ministers dumbfounded. Is this... is he going to donate supplies?
Some people also wanted to make a little fortune during this war.
Now all the plans have been disrupted by the War King. The War King is really cruel.
There is really no way for them to survive. Dongfang Chen just wants to take advantage of these people's cake.
This king, who wanted to profit from the national disaster, refused to allow it. He knew exactly how much food, medicinal materials, and inventory these people had.
Anyone who dares to hide it secretly will be punished.
Now he finally understood a truth from the princess: if a person is not ruthless, his position will not be stable.
Walk in other people's paths and leave them with no way to go.
Unexpectedly, the War King proposed this condition. Emperor Nanyue immediately breathed a sigh of relief. That’s good, that’s good.
He also thought that King Zhan would propose to establish a crown prince. After all, now was a good time.
Prince Zhan has the support of Beiyan Liuli. If he really wants the position of crown prince, he can do nothing about it.
Beiyan is a powerful country. The regent has just found his daughter. As long as Princess Zhan asks, the regent will definitely grant her request.
It’s a pity that his silly son missed such a good opportunity.
I really don't know how to describe his son. He obviously has such great abilities, but he insists on pretending to be a romantic.
If it is him, he wants women and the world. As long as he sits in that position, what kind of women will not come to him?
Princess Zhan is indeed beautiful now that she has status, but what’s the use of a woman being beautiful?
It is just a flash in the pan, a passing cloud. It still depends on who can help him.
How to balance the court is the most important thing.
After thinking it over, Emperor Nanyue agreed to the conditions of the King of War. If he didn't want to send anyone, then he wouldn't send anyone.
No matter what, he is my son, and I did owe him something in the past.
This time I'll just consider it as making up for it to him. I wonder if it can ease the relationship between father and son.
The War Prince set off three days after receiving the imperial edict to go to war. Dongfang Chen returned to the War Prince's Mansion and immediately called all the people in charge to the study to discuss the matter.
Everyone could guess what it was about, and they had already made preparations and were ready to go at any time.
After all, the enemy is coming in full force. If the prince does not take action, the border and the city may be lost.
The King of War sat in the main seat, and of course Nangong Xue was next to him.
"You all need to be prepared. After I go on the expedition, there will definitely be unusual movements in the capital.
After all, I know very well how many people want me to go to war and want to kill me."
“But this time these people are going to miscalculate, because we have the princess’s weapon.
Dealing with these enemies is as easy as taking candy from a baby, and it’s time to teach them a lesson.
If you still don't learn your lesson, you will be famous from now on.
Steward, and Zhao Wenshan, you must protect the safety of Prince Zhan's mansion and the capital."
"As long as my good father doesn't commit suicide, it's better not to let him die for now.
If he insists on committing suicide, you don't have to do anything about it. Don't believe that good words can't persuade a damned ghost. "
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"I will leave you weapons and medicine, but do not use the weapons unless it is a critical moment.
I will give the enemy a severe blow so that they will never dare to invade Longyuan again.
Do you buy your groceries in advance and check whether the food is fresh and safe at all times? "
"Don't give others the opportunity to poison you. If I'm not here, and you can't even defend Prince Zhan's Palace, then you don't deserve to be by my side.
I don't keep useless people around me. When the master is away, you are the backbone of the Zhan Palace."
"You must lead the other guards and servants to hold their posts."
"Yes, Master, I will definitely complete the mission and welcome you back in triumph.
I, your subordinate, will defend Prince Zhan's palace to the death and will never let anyone set foot inside.
Whoever dares to break in will be killed without mercy."
"Yeah. Well done."
"Princess, do you have anything to say to them? Or if you have any arrangements to make for them, just tell me."
Nangong Xue sat with her body very serious and her eyes particularly cold. At this moment, the princess' eyes were even colder than the prince's.
"Butler, and captain of the guard, this princess hopes that you can respond to emergencies at any time.
It can also solve emergencies instead of risking your own life.
Everyone has only one life, and I don’t want to see the people that the Zhan Palace has worked so hard to train die so easily.
As long as we can win this battle, there's nothing wrong with using some strategies and tactics."
"People have bullied you, what morality do you still want to talk to them about?
If this is the case, it only shows that you are really hopeless and extremely stupid.
Who dares to seek death? Give me poison, give me bombs.
I will leave you a special contact number and teach you how to use it."
"If there is any emergency that cannot be resolved, please remember to send me a message.
I will be there at any time. Also, our emperor may have eaten too much and is feeling bloated.
As long as he's not dead, it doesn't matter if he was kidnapped or poisoned."
“You just need to tell us the news, and wait for our orders for the rest.
Don't be foolish enough to lose your life saving someone you shouldn't save.
In fact, in my heart, you are more important than him, so I hope each of you lives well."
"Yes, Princess."
"Also, you must always observe the situation outside and be relaxed on the outside but tight on the inside.
It's easy to guess that there will be earth-shaking changes when we go to the capital this time.
But I hope it will be good news in the direction everyone thinks it is.”
“Instead of the person you least want to see being in that position.
Wouldn't it be like we've been busy for so long that we're just helping others? That would really cause breast hyperplasia.
Even if we don't want that position, we must hold the power in our hands.
This princess is not afraid of people outside talking about our Zhan Palace holding the emperor hostage to control the princes."
"That's because we have this ability. If we don't have this ability, how can we use the emperor to control the princes?
It's really sour grapes because you can't eat them. Just indulge his bad habit.
Just remember my principles: I would rather let the enemy suffer than let myself suffer the slightest injustice."
"Also, no matter who it is, as long as they are from our Zhan Wang Mansion, stand up straight.
Don't be so fawning and servile to everyone you meet. If that's the case, it only means that you have no destiny with Prince Zhan's Mansion. Go back to where you came from.
What this princess needs is that you can stand on your own even when the master is not around, rather than being unable to handle even the smallest issues.
Then wouldn't the Zhan Palace have trained you in vain?"
Everyone has gotten used to it. If it were in the past, they would definitely feel very uncomfortable. The princess's words are really too direct and too prominent. If this word gets out, wouldn't it bring disaster to Prince Zhan's Mansion?
Of course, they wouldn’t think so now. The princess actually has such great abilities.
Even the prince has to listen to the princess, and they dare not disobey the prince.
Dongfang Chen nodded in agreement.
"Did you remember everything the princess said? And from now on, in the Zhan Palace, the princess's words will be more effective than mine.
I hope you understand this. As long as it is the princess's order, you don't need to ask me, just do it."
Everyone said in unison.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
“Also, after I leave, you must secretly collect more medicinal herbs and food.
Whether it is coarse grains or fine grains, we need everything. We must be prepared for a long-term war.
After all, you know better than anyone else that when an army goes to war, food and fodder must come first."
