Chapter 95: Your Majesty, I receive your order to attack the northern border!
The Southern Yan Emperor tilted his head and said to Yan Fengxiao, "Commander Yan, how do you think I should deal with this?"
Yan Fengxiao saluted and said, "I leave it to the emperor to decide."
Seeing his attitude, the Emperor of Southern Yan sighed slightly and frowned.
This kid...
He felt a little complicated in his heart, but he still raised his eyes to look at those people from the Northern Frontier Kingdom and shouted coldly.
"Shut up!"
These three words are quite shocking.
In an instant, all the envoys from the Northern Frontier Kingdom shut up and turned around to salute the Emperor of Southern Yan.
The person in front of him is the king of a country. Even if they are envoys, he dare not neglect them in the slightest.
"Write back and tell the Northern Frontier Emperor that my two princesses died in your capital. As long as you, the Northern Frontier Emperor, hand over the two Lan brothers to me for disposal, you can take Yan Fengxiao away today."
"What?"
The old national teacher of Northern Frontier was dumbfounded.
The two princesses of Southern Yan...died in the imperial city of Northern Frontier?
when?
There was a somewhat dazed expression on his old face.
Weren't we discussing the matter of Yan Fengxiao killing Princess Su before? Why did the subject suddenly change so quickly?
"Your Majesty, I wonder which two of your princesses these are?"
The Emperor of Southern Yan rubbed his chin with his hand and seemed to be in deep thought for a while.
"It seems to be the Tenth Princess and the Eleventh Princess."
Yan Xuanjing was stunned. He opened his mouth, wanting to remind his father where did he get the Tenth and Eleventh Princesses?
Isn’t the youngest person in their palace the Ninth Princess?
The Emperor of Southern Yan had many children, nineteen in total. The ranking of the princes and princesses was calculated separately, so the youngest in his family had a ninth sister and a tenth brother...
The old Imperial Preceptor was clearly not one to be fooled. With a fake smile on his face, he awkwardly said, "Your Majesty, please stop joking. There are no Tenth and Eleventh Princesses in the Southern Yan Kingdom."
The Southern Yan Emperor's expression darkened, his eyes cold. "Why, if you, the Northern Frontier Emperor, can have a sister, why can't I have two daughters?"
"this……"
The old national teacher's words were blocked in an instant.
He opened his mouth for a long time but couldn't make any sense. His eyes were wide open and he had no way to refute.
It seems to be the case!
Although Princess Na Su was of noble status and was much loved, but... to be honest, she was just adopted.
He has no blood relationship with the royal family.
Outmaneuvered by the Emperor of Southern Yan, the old imperial teacher was stuck and had no idea how to proceed.
The Emperor of Southern Yan looked at the envoys from the northern border with a smile.
"He's using a randomly adopted princess to exchange for the life of a senior official of our Southern Yan State. How shameless of him, the Northern Frontier Emperor! Go back and tell the Northern Frontier Emperor that even if she's his biological daughter, she's not worthy!"
He slammed his hand on the table, and his eyes turned blood red in an instant.
When the old imperial teacher of Northern Frontier and others heard the emperor's furious voice, they were so frightened that they all knelt on the ground.
This is the Kingdom of Southern Yan. The person in front of them has the ability to take their lives at any time. With just one word, he can tear the bodies of these envoys apart!
If the peace talks are successful, that would be fine.
If the talks fail... none of them can go back.
This is fate!
"And you all, you're all eating salaries but doing nothing, yet you're still talking to me in a high-sounding manner about handing over important officials?"
The Emperor of Southern Yan was scolding the ministers who had previously instigated him to hand over Yan Fengxiao.
This curse made the group of ministers who had spoken earlier tremble in fear. They buried their heads and wished they could act like ostriches at this moment.
Seeing that his father was angry, the eldest prince knew that if he didn't say something, these ministers would probably die in the next moment.
"Father, calm down!"
Yan Xuanjing knelt before the Emperor of Southern Yan, his face pale.
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have ignored Commander Yan's achievements. It's just that I'm eager for peace and I care about the people of Southern Yan. I had no choice but to ask Commander Yan to sacrifice himself!"
"You shut up too!"
Cold sweat broke out on Yan Xuanjing's forehead.
He gritted his teeth, lowered his head and dared not say another word, allowing his father to scold him.
Anyway, this kind of thing has happened more than once or twice, it's just commonplace.
The Emperor of Southern Yan looked at Yan Xuanjing with a look of disappointment in his eyes.
The eldest prince is the queen's legitimate son. As the eldest son, he should have naturally inherited the position of crown prince. However, over the years, he was too mediocre, and he could not see any bright spots.
If it were not for this, the position of crown prince would not have remained vacant for so long. In order to spur him on, his father, the emperor, had to put in a lot of effort.
Although he has many princes and princesses, being the eldest son is somewhat different to him.
The Emperor of Southern Yan took a deep breath and calmed down his anger.
Today, Yan Xuanjing gave him a surprise. Half of the court officials had unknowingly stood behind Yan Xuanjing, working for him, the eldest prince.
Although he may not be good at anything else, his ability to form cliques and factions has improved year by year, although this is also related to the fact that Yan Fengxiao has offended too many people.
"I don't care which princess or prince dies. As long as you don't come to the imperial city of Southern Yan openly and honestly, you will be executed as a traitor. Do you understand?"
Beads of sweat dripped from the temples of the old state teacher of Northern Frontier.
At this time, he already understood the Emperor of Southern Yan's thoughts.
"Let's not even talk about whether Yan Fengxiao actually killed the princess. You haven't even been able to produce any evidence of whether Princess Su has ever been to the imperial city of Southern Yan. If you bring this up again, I will think that your Northern Frontier Kingdom is blatantly provoking me!"
The old imperial teacher finally squeezed out a sound from his throat.
His smile was very stiff: "Your Majesty, in that case, to discuss this matter..."
The Emperor of Southern Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at them.
"You have shown me no sincerity. The so-called peace talks are merely a means for you, the Northern Frontier Emperor, to test me. Come, arrest them all and hang them outside the Meridian Gate in the sun for public display."
"Father!"
Yan Xuanjing's expression changed drastically in an instant.
The blood drained from his face, leaving it extremely pale.
Once the Emperor of Southern Yan did this, the peace talks between the two countries would be completely ruined.
Guards rushed in from outside and directly grabbed a group of envoys from the Northern Frontier Kingdom.
All the envoys changed their expressions and became extremely panicked.
The old imperial teacher didn't move his feet and was dragged out directly.
When he was dragged away, there was still a smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
"Your Majesty, if you do this, the two countries will be completely separated from each other, and there will be no possibility of peace talks..."
The Emperor of Southern Yan's expression remained unchanged and his majesty remained the same.
"Peace talks? When did I ever promise to negotiate with you?"
He lowered his eyes and said to Yan Fengxiao, "Commander Yan, I order you to lead the troops to attack the northern border. Are you willing?"
At this moment, Yan Fengxiao finally raised his eyes and looked at the person on the dragon throne above.
He didn't look very tall, but at this moment, he inexplicably made him feel closer.
"Your Majesty, I obey your order!"
