"The terms Southern Wei and Northern Wei always sound bad to me. I think it would be a good idea to unify the north and the south and restore the name of the country, the Great Wei." Changsheng picked up a flower with his fingertips and spoke with a smile.
Zhan Haoze had a look on his face that said, "Are you crazy?" He had previously instigated him to rebel, and his great cause hadn't even started yet. Now he was encouraging him to unify the north and the south?
"Cousin, you really think highly of me."
Although he was a general and had a natural love for fighting on the battlefield, the north and the south had been divided for many years and the people had finally been able to live and work in peace.
Unification is certainly tempting, but breaking this balance will inevitably bring about a wave of suffering.
He is a god of killing and also a bodhisattva.
And he is self-aware.
"Why don't we wait until we conquer Southern Wei before expanding our territory?" He felt like he was fooling his little cousin.
Changsheng: The Zhan family is indeed only suitable for the battlefield and has no brains for political schemes.
She too.
It seems that I still have to use my trump card.
"Okay, the burden of taking down Southern Wei will be handed over to you. But by the time you take down Southern Wei, I will definitely be in charge of Northern Wei." Come on, don't hold me back.
Zhan Haoze gave her a look that said, "Look, I heard a joke, but I'm expressionless."
However, because his only cousin was sent away to marry a foreign prince, the army almost caused a mutiny, and for a while, everyone was united.
On the day of the marriage, many of the Zhan family's old men came to see them off, and Changsheng took off her red veil in a high-profile manner.
"Soldiers, over the past few decades, you have used your flesh and blood to block the iron hoofs of the Northern Wei from the south, allowing me to have no worries about food and clothing since childhood, wear fine clothes and enjoy delicious food, and live a life of luxury for more than ten years.
Today, I have the honor of being chosen to marry and establish a peace treaty between our two nations. While the journey is long and the customs differ, it will spare our soldiers from meaningless sacrifices on the battlefield, and from being separated from their wives and children.
Even if the peace treaty lasts only ten years, a year, a month, or even a day, my efforts will be valuable and my life will be meaningful."
After saying this, he wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief. When he got into the carriage, he couldn't help but take a last look at the army that was seeing him off, as well as the beautiful mountains and rivers of his homeland, Southern Wei.
It is most heartbreaking to see a beautiful woman crying.
The old soldiers in the army already had objections to Concubine Wu's death, and they were even more heartbroken when the third princess was pushed out to marry. It was a slap in the face of the blood and lives they had shed on the battlefield.
They won the battle against the Northern Wei.
The reward is gone, but now the princess of the Zhan family is being pushed to marry.
The Zhan family has always been the main commander in the wars against the Northern Wei. It is conceivable that if the three ministers went to the Northern Wei, would they have a good life?
The princes and nobles were high and mighty and did not take the soldiers who defended their country seriously. Their families were even more of a prey to the nobles.
At this moment, don’t they know whose home and country they are protecting?
Changsheng's remarks today aroused the bloodiness of most of the generals, and directly encouraged Zhan Haoze to rebel to the end.
The emperor was still taking the lead in enjoying the short-term benefits brought by the marriage between the two countries, and the elixir made him feel that he had found the way to immortality.
Zhan Haoze's secret tricks once again tore apart the superficial calm maintained among the princes.
After the princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty was revealed to be pregnant, several princes once again started fighting for power. The emperor not only did not stop them, but was happy to see it happen.
"There have been repeated reports of pregnant concubines in the harem, and my father remains in excellent health. I've fought to the death with my brothers, but in the end, I'm only making things easier for my younger brothers."
The Sixth Prince used to be a low-key person among his brothers, but now he was forced to be in front of them. Faced with the frequent provocations, he was helpless.
The staff suggested, "Why not let the people placed around the eldest and second princes add fuel to the fire? If we're talking about urgency, the older princes are more anxious."
After all, he is old and still a prince. Let alone the position of crown prince, the emperor is reluctant to even issue an edict to confer him the title of king.
So, when the emperor enjoyed the enhanced elixir and fought with his new beauty for three hundred rounds on the dragon bed, his eldest son and his fourth son came to force the emperor to abdicate.
The second prince and the sixth prince appeared out of nowhere to rescue the emperor.
After a series of killings and counter-killings, only the Sixth Prince was still alive, while the other three princes were either dead or disabled.
His Majesty the Emperor was stabbed in the abdomen. Just when everyone thought that everything was settled, the aristocratic families joined forces to stage a rescue. The Sixth Prince was identified as a usurper of the throne and was executed on the spot.
"Okay, okay, I have placed my trust in you all, but you actually want to help the young master ascend to the throne..." The emperor vomited blood as he spoke. He felt that he was about to die, so he touched the elixir in his arms and quickly took an overdose.
His life-saving elixir.
Before the emperor fell completely into a coma, Zhan Haoze protected the third prince and led the Zhan family army to rescue him with great momentum.
All the traitors must be arrested, those who deserve them must be thrown into prison, and those who deserve them must be beheaded.
That was so quick and neat.
As an adult prince, the Third Prince may have some personal flaws, but in this situation, how can he be allowed to take credit for this achievement?
The eldest prince, who had one eye damaged, found the right moment and gave the third prince a cold shoulder.
Zhan Haoze really wanted to give him a thumbs up for solving his worries.
Anyway, the Zhan family has no successor, so no matter whether the rebellion will succeed or not, just do it.
With one less opponent, their chances of winning increase.
The battle to force the emperor to abdicate came to an end. The emperor was in a coma. The princes saw that none of them were capable of anything and could only place their hopes on the babies in their cradles and several unborn children.
----
"Empress Mingfei, His Majesty is still in a coma and it is inconvenient to see you." The eunuch stood guard for his master diligently.
"I don't want to see Your Majesty. I want to see General Zhan."
The eunuch was puzzled, but he didn't dare ask. At this critical moment, he was in danger himself, so he had to listen to everyone's opinions.
He politely provided convenience to the two of them in the side hall.
Ever since the emperor fell into a coma and General Zhan saved him, the entire palace has been temporarily controlled by Zhan Haoze's men.
The court officials had objections, but Zhan Haoze only sent soldiers to guard the safety of the imperial palace and did not restrict the visiting rights of important officials in the court.
What's more, at this time, all parties have suffered heavy losses and can only wait and see.
"General Zhan, what do you mean?" The Northern Wei princess was named Consort Ming, and with her bulging belly, she threw out a piece of letter from her sleeve.
Zhan Haoze felt that he had no connection with Empress Mingfei, so he picked up the paper on the ground curiously and read it carefully.
The more I watched, the more frightened I became. Is my little cousin some kind of freak? She had only been in the Northern Wei Dynasty for three short months, yet she had managed to "sleep" with the Northern Wei emperor?
"The Zhan family army is unyielding, but the third princess, who carries the blood of the Zhan family, not only pledged herself to the emperor of the enemy nation, but also bewitched him. Who would believe she is a princess of a certain country? I think she is a demon that is bringing disaster to the country."
"Your Majesty, you are also a princess of another country." Please don't say such harsh words.
