Murong Rong said, "Fine, Mu Wanting, you traitor."
Mu Wanting pointed to the flag.
“Look carefully, I am not betraying the country. We have subdued the Tatars and the Oirats and unified the Northwest.”
"You rebellious daughter, you've become a traitor and a villain! Why don't you kneel down and apologize to the Emperor?"
Liu raised her hand to slap Mu Wanting, but Mu Wanting slapped her back, causing Liu to fall to the ground with her cheek swollen.
"You concubine who climbed into my bed, do you even deserve to be my mother?"
Upon seeing this, Mu Guozhong's angry expression changed drastically, and he said, word by word.
"Mu Wanting, do you have any manners at all?"
Mu Wanting scoffed, "Aren't you afraid of insulting yourself with those words?"
Mu Guozhong's face turned even uglier. Murong Rong opened her mouth, about to say something about Mu Wanting, but was slapped aside by Mu Wanting.
"Do you even have the right to speak?"
Xia Chan hated this family even more.
"You vicious people! I treated you so well before, and you tried to kill me."
Mu Wanting was too lazy to pay attention anymore. Emperor Lishun's face was ugly. Just as Mu Wanting was about to close the city gate, he spoke coldly.
"Is this how you treat your guests?"
Mu Wanting wanted to see what Emperor Lishun was really up to.
"Arrange a palace banquet to welcome guests who have come from afar."
This is her territory. What trouble could these people possibly cause?
There are 100,000 soldiers here, but once Emperor Lishun and his men enter the palace, if they make any move, they will be trapped like turtles in a jar.
The remaining soldiers were left outside the palace, forming a standoff with the Chu state.
Upon arriving at the palace, Emperor Lishun's imposing presence remained undiminished. Seeing Mu Wanting and Shen Xinglan seated at the head of the table, his expression turned grim.
Li Dafu said, "The superior is the one to be respected. Mu Wanting and Shen Xinglan, aren't you both quite ignorant of etiquette?"
Shen Xinglan said, "In the Chu Kingdom, all the rules are set by us."
The implication was that Li Dafu and Emperor Lishun should not meddle in other people's business.
Emperor Lishun looked grim. After settling into the palace, his old habit soon relapsed, and he indulged in extravagance and debauchery with his concubines.
To be honest, it wouldn't matter if it were just raising a parasite, but Mu Wanting couldn't tolerate a parasite as extravagant as Emperor Lishun.
With a wave of his hand, he ordered all palace expenses to be simplified.
Emperor Lishun sent Li Dafu, but Mu Wanting sent him back. After several different people came, Emperor Lishun took the initiative to visit.
"Is this somewhat inappropriate? Since I ascended the throne at the age of 18, I have never suffered such injustice."
Shen Xingchi's words were relentless.
"What the Xia Emperor said is really interesting. When you were 18, the country hadn't fallen yet."
Emperor Lishun looked displeased; he was completely unwelcome here.
So he sent someone to summon the old ministers outside the palace, and together they entered the palace. Through these old ministers, he expressed his thoughts.
"Now the capital and the area outside the northwest are occupied by the Xiongnu. The Great Xia wants to move its capital to the northwest. The emperor was magnanimous and did not hold it against you when you declared yourselves kings, but the rule of this area should be handed over."
Even Shen Xinglan was so angry at the ugly faces of this group that she laughed.
How could you have the nerve to say such a thing?
Shen Yujiao also said, "Why should we give up the empire we've worked so hard to build to you?"
The old minister was furious.
“We’re talking, how dare you, a little girl, interrupt?”
Shen Yujiao scoffed: "Shut up, you old fogey. I am the Grand General of the Escort Flag, my status is much higher than yours. In our Chu Kingdom, both men and women can hold office, unlike the corrupt Great Xia Kingdom."
Upon hearing this, the people of Great Xia glanced at the entire court and found that nearly half of them were women, all with expressions of moral decay and corruption.
Emperor Lishun shook his head: "Mu Wanting, aren't you being ridiculous? If women are appointed to official positions, who knows what will become of the world?"
You can't talk about ice with a summer insect.
Shen Mingjiao said, "If Emperor Xia doesn't believe it, he can go to the streets, to the local government offices, and to the army to see if women are inferior to men."
More and more female officials and generals stepped forward, each one incredibly brave.
Emperor Lishun was so intimidated by this heroic spirit that he subconsciously took a few steps back, while Mu Wanting sneered.
"Guards, escort Emperor Xia back to the palace."
There are 100,000 troops outside, and they are also former compatriots. If we can avoid fighting, it would be best to avoid it.
So during the time Emperor Lishun was trapped in the palace, Mu Wanting and the others were not idle either, and began to go and catch up with the 100,000 soldiers.
Most of those people were Shen Xinglan's subordinates. They had many misunderstandings about Shen Xinglan before, but after some explanation and a lot of irrefutable evidence, they were completely convinced of Shen Xinglan's abilities, and many of them had already volunteered to come to the State of Chu to take up their posts.
The remaining group were not Shen Xinglan's subordinates.
General Zhao was one of the best among them; he persuaded his subordinates to join the State of Chu as well.
There are 100,000 people now, but only 20,000 are left.
The Chu army, with its 500,000-strong force, was simply no match for them.
Adding to the fact that Emperor Lishun was truly absurd, the escape route only intensified their sense of despair.
Thus, without bloodshed or losing a single soldier, the soldiers were easily subdued.
When Emperor Lishun was slowly and relentlessly humiliated by Mu Wanting and her men, and became so angry that he wanted to rebel, he found that he could no longer command his subordinates.
As for the veteran officials, Mu Wanting took the opportunity to divide them. Those who could stay were kept, and those who could not were locked up in prison as soon as possible, with a meal provided for them.
