Lin Muheng turned and left, ignoring the Second Prince's clamor. He summoned his generals to discuss the next strategic move, deciding to press their advantage and give the enemy no chance to regroup.
Meanwhile, the Nanning royal family was greatly shocked to learn of the Second Prince's crushing defeat.
They've only just acquired two cities; I thought the Second Prince was quite capable.
Unexpectedly, just a few days later, they were all captured.
The emperor of Nanning was furious.
The memorials submitted in the past few days were all praising the Second Prince's achievements, and the Emperor was secretly pleased.
He had always been well aware of the Second Prince's abilities, but he was born to the most favored concubine of the Emperor of Nanning.
The old emperor wanted to present the best to the woman he loved.
He focused on grooming the second prince.
They even tacitly approved of the Second Prince's maternal family's cruelty towards the Crown Prince.
This is truly laughable.
The commander-in-chief of a country was captured before the enemy had lost a single soldier.
He has completely disgraced the royal ancestors of Nanning.
Looking at the Second Prince's cowardly appearance, Lin Muheng thought that the Emperor of Nanning was also getting senile in his old age.
Can such a person shoulder the responsibility of a country?
News of Lin Muheng's capture of the Second Prince of Nanning quickly reached the capital, and Emperor Rongsheng received the news immediately.
The emperor was overjoyed and repeatedly praised Lin Muheng for his bravery and invincibility.
The General's Mansion also received the news.
After receiving the letter, Jiang Chuwei followed the advice of Prince Yu and returned to her parents' home.
This was the longest Jiang Chuwei had stayed at her parents' home since marrying into the royal family.
Living under the same roof as my father and mother somewhat eased the pain of longing for each other.
When General Jiang saw that his daughter had returned and that there were many more soldiers in his mansion, he was even more satisfied with Prince Yu as his son-in-law.
The daughter said that the prince was worried about her safety and asked her father to protect her.
Jiang Zhongyong knew perfectly well that Prince Yu had deployed all his troops around the general's mansion to protect his family.
To dispel the emperor's suspicions, all but a few elderly and wounded veterans of the general's mansion were sent back to their hometowns.
The general's mansion was completely incapable of protecting itself.
Jiang Chuwei received a letter from Prince Yu, Shengli.
Upon learning that Prince Yu had captured the Second Prince of Nanning alive, he quickly informed his father of the news.
General Jiang laughed heartily, "Well done!"
The joke that the second prince of Nanning made in Daqing is known to everyone.
When he was competing in archery with Prince Yu, he disregarded the rules and cheated, which resulted in him being reprimanded by Emperor Rongsheng.
The envoy from Nanning was so ashamed that his face turned a deep shade of liver.
"That incompetent fool can lead troops? Nanning is really doomed," Jiang Zhongyong laughed.
"I heard that it was my second brother who dragged him to the camp." "Jiang Chuwei saw that her father was happy, so she asked him to be even happier."
Jiang He went to the battlefield, and even Jiang Chuwei only found out before he left.
It is clear that the emperor was very unwilling for the general's mansion to produce another capable person.
Lin Muheng didn't know how he persuaded Emperor Rongsheng.
None of that matters. What matters is that Emperor Rongsheng gave a signal that the powerful families in the capital saw: the emperor was beginning to rely on people from the General's Mansion again.
This also shows that Prince Yu's importance in the emperor's heart was growing.
This made Jiang Zhongyong feel very happy.
If Prince Yu achieves further merits, his prestige in the court will only increase.
The obstacles for Prince Jin to ascend the throne will be even greater.
Thinking of how the General's Mansion in Wei'er's dream was wiped out by Prince Jin, Jiang Zhongyong wished he could kill Prince Jin first.
Fortunately, things are getting better now.
Wei'er and Mengzhong took completely different paths. Apart from her eldest son staying in the Northwest, her second and third sons also took different paths.
Jiang Zhongyong thought that perhaps in this lifetime, the Prince of Yu could also reach the highest position.
His status as the Prince of Yu meant that he had to fight for it.
Only by reaching that position can Vera live a peaceful life.
Seeing his daughter's radiant smile, Jiang Zhongyong's heart softened.
"Father, wouldn't it be wonderful if my second brother could lead troops into battle like my eldest brother?" Jiang Chuwei said coquettishly.
Jiang Zhongyong smiled and patted his daughter's hair, "You know, the Emperor won't let your second brother stand up for you alone."
“I know, that’s why Your Highness must take that position,” Jiang Chuwei said with a determined look in her eyes.
My second brother saved Emperor Rongsheng, so he will be giving the General's Mansion a warm welcome for the time being.
When Prince Yu returns with merit, my second brother will also have a share of the credit.
Jiang Chuwei could imagine that the emperor would return to the old ways, suppressing her second and third brothers and preventing them from standing out.
Jiang Zhongyong sighed inwardly, thinking that his daughter had grown up, could see the essence of things, and had her own thoughts.
It seems that even this old man can't just ignore everything.
Soon, everyone in the capital learned that Lin Muheng had captured the second prince of Nanning.
Lin Mupo is about to close the net.
He cannot sit idly by and wait for his death.
If the emperor won't pass the throne to him, then he'll have to seize it.
The palace was filled with joy, and Emperor Rongsheng was especially happy.
Before they knew it, it was the Ninth Prince Lin Mulang's first birthday banquet.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the emperor naturally wanted to make a scene.
Consort Mei did not want to be too ostentatious; she only wanted her son to grow up safely.
She was worried that the Ninth Prince might be harmed because of the extravagant first birthday celebration.
Seeing her worried expression, the emperor said, "It's alright. Anyone who dares to lay a hand on my son, I will exterminate their entire family."
These words, when they were spoken, really shocked many people.
Consort Zheng then stopped.
She dared not gamble with the lives of the entire Zheng family.
Consort Mei can practically do whatever she wants in the harem now.
The emperor now dotes on her.
