Early in the morning, Yun Zheng came to bid farewell to Emperor Wen.
"Your son greets His Majesty!"
Yun Zheng's face didn't look very good, he just bowed slightly to Emperor Wen.
Not even Empress Xu was mentioned.
It was as if he had not seen Empress Xu.
Arrogant!
Empress Xu roared in her heart.
Yun Zheng is provoking His Majesty!
It was because he was very dissatisfied with the rewards given by the emperor to Mondo and Zulu!
His plan failed again!
...
...
If Emperor Wen was not his father, he would probably have skipped the bowing.
Empress Xu glanced at Emperor Wen out of the corner of her eye.
Originally, Emperor Wen still had a deliberately forced smile on his face, but now he could no longer pretend.
"I can be enthroned because of your contribution to expanding the territory!"
After a moment, Emperor Wen forced a smile on his face again, "Today, I will grant you another privilege! From now on, no matter when and where you see me, you don't have to kneel down and bow."
"Thank you, Father!"
Yun Zheng accepted it calmly.
Emperor Wen smiled faintly and asked, "Why are you here?"
Yun Zheng: "I just received news that the northern barbarians launched an attack on our dynasty in the cold winter. I must immediately take Mondo and his men back to Shuobei to lead the war. I came here specially to resign!"
"Northern barbarians?"
Emperor Wen frowned slightly, "You have a million soldiers at your disposal, how dare the northern barbarians attack?"
Millions of soldiers?
Yun Zheng was speechless.
Why don't you talk about the millions of soldiers?
There's no way to insult someone like this!
"Father thinks too highly of me, your son."
Yun Zheng didn't have a single smile on his face. "I have fought many battles, and the army has suffered heavy casualties. Now I have less than 100,000 soldiers. The barbarians are attacking me this time, and I can't sleep at night..."
Hearing Yun Zheng's words, Empress Xu's face twitched suddenly.
For a moment, Empress Xu wanted to take off her shoes and slap Yun Zheng in the face.
He has less than 100,000 troops?
There are almost 100,000 troops in Fuzhou alone!
Tell lies with open eyes!
How can there be such shameless people in the world!
"Stop!"
Emperor Wen interrupted Yun Zheng directly, "I was thinking, I haven't spent the New Year with you for many years, I'd like to spend the New Year with you this time! Since you have something important to do, go back first! State affairs are more important!"
"Thank you, Father!"
Yun Zheng said this and was about to leave.
"etc!"
Emperor Wen called Yun Zheng and said, "After this separation, I'm afraid we will never see each other again in this life! Before I leave, I want to say a few words to you."
"Your son is all ears."
Yun Zheng said calmly.
Emperor Wen didn't care about Yun Zheng's attitude and said seriously: "Many things in the world have cause and effect!"
"Yes!" Yun Zheng nodded in agreement and sighed: "Many things have cause and effect! Whatever cause you sowed in the past, you will reap what result you will reap today!"
"Indeed."
Emperor Wen also nodded in agreement, "For example, I ascended the throne by stepping on the blood of so many brothers. Now, it seems that my sons will also do the same! This must be cause and effect!"
Yun Zheng lowered his brows and remained silent.
However, Empress Xu believed that Yun Zheng must have understood the hidden meaning of Emperor Wen.
After all, even she understood it.
There is no reason why Yun Zheng, such a cunning man, would not understand.
Emperor Wen glanced at Yun Zheng and continued, "Now, you are also the father of three children! If you ever reach my level, you will know how difficult it is for me..."
"Your son will remember your father's teachings!"
Yun Zheng seemed impatient, "Father, do you have any other instructions? If not, I will take my leave!"
"besides!"
Emperor Wen spoke again: "The people of Shuobei must be suffering from the continuous wars! Now that we are done with the northern barbarians, we should stop and rest and recuperate! Don't add more burdens to the people."
"yes!"
Empress Xu finally spoke, "Though Dagan's territory has expanded a lot over the years, the common people are still the ones who suffer from the continuous wars..."
Allowing him to recuperate is also buying time for the prince and the court.
"Um."
Yun Zheng responded simply but didn't say much.
"Okay, I don't have any other instructions, you can go back first!"
Emperor Wen didn't seem to want to say anything more to Yun Zheng and waved his hand weakly.
"I'll take my leave!"
Soon, Yun Zheng left.
When Yun Zheng disappeared from their sight, Emperor Wen's face suddenly fell.
Although he didn't look ferocious, he was full of hostility.
"Your Majesty, please calm down!"
Empress Xu quickly persuaded Emperor Wen, "He is a lunatic who has no respect for his father and the emperor. Why should Your Majesty be angry with him? It's not worth it to ruin your health because of him!"
Emperor Wen nodded slightly, but his anger did not dissipate and his breathing became heavier.
Empress Xu quickly raised her hand to help Emperor Wen calm down.
Emperor Wen closed his eyes and adjusted his mood.
It was a full quarter of an hour before Emperor Wen's breathing gradually calmed down.
"Someone come! Call Zhou Dai!"
Emperor Wen suddenly opened his eyes.
Zhou Dai was the commander of the imperial guards. He was not far from Emperor Wen and arrived quickly.
"Personally select 100 people from the army and send them out. After Mondo and Zulu are separated from Lao Liu's army, choose an opportunity to assassinate Mondo and Zulu..."
Emperor Wen ordered with a stern look.
"yes!"
Zhou Dai immediately accepted the order.
"etc!"
Emperor Wen stopped Zhou Dai who was about to leave and said, "Listen carefully! These 100 people must not only be skilled, but also absolutely trustworthy! Anyone who dares to leak the information will be charged with treason!"
"yes!"
Zhou Dai did not dare to be careless and immediately took the order and left.
Empress Xu: "Isn't this move by Your Majesty too risky?"
Although Empress Xu did not understand much about these things, she could see Emperor Wen's purpose.
However, she was still a little worried.
If those assassins fell into Yun Zheng's hands and Yun Zheng knew that Emperor Wen secretly sent people to do these things, this bastard would definitely show his teeth to the court again.
By then, the prince would probably become his financial officer again!
Now, as long as Yun Zheng grins, everyone in the court will know what he wants to do!
"I have to take this risk!"
Emperor Wen showed some anger on his face, "Now, if the court wants to stabilize the situation, we must let those places go into chaos!"
"If Mondo and Zulu were assassinated right after they surrendered, there would be chaos in both places!"
“Although this is a risky move, it’s worth a try!”
Empress Xu sighed softly and said no more.
Now, Emperor Wen and all the civil and military officials in the court were at a loss.
They could only rely on these despicable means to find ways to create trouble for Yun Zheng.
…
Yun Zheng took everyone away.
They wanted to return to Jingyang Prefecture before the New Year.
Originally, they wanted to return to the palace in Sifang County, but they had a lot of things to do at the moment. Yun Zheng was in Jingyang Prefecture, so it was convenient for him to mobilize troops from various places. If there was any situation in Juzhou and other places, he could also respond in time.
After leaving Jishan County, they deliberately sped up.
However, they have families to support them, so no matter how fast they go, they won’t be able to get there.
"Your Highness, someone shot a secret letter from the rear!"
Lin Ji's voice came from outside the carriage.
Yun Zheng lifted the curtain and took the secret letter in a small bamboo tube.
After opening the secret letter and reading it, Yun Zheng couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
What a strong desire this old guy has to perform!
A hundred people will enter Shuobei under the banner of assassinating Zulu and Mondo and secretly surrender to him.
This is to inform him in advance to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
It goes without saying that this was definitely the old man trying to paralyze Xu Shifu and the third brother's people.
In order to lower the vigilance of Lao San and the others, and to minimize the impact of what was about to happen, he really took great pains...
