Hearing this, Wen Jingchi thought about it and it made sense. The Queen Mother had lived in palace fighting for so many years and always had the last laugh. She would not take Wen Chenxuan's tricks to heart at all.

"Alright, let's not talk too much. Go and call my brother back quickly. Everything will be resolved when he comes back."

The Queen Mother sighed deeply: "This abominable prince could actually do such a thing. When my brother comes back, I will definitely not let him go. I will make him pay the price. He could even cruelly kill his own father. What else can this kind of person not do?"

The Queen Mother couldn't bear the thought that the people would have to face such an emperor and suffer many difficulties and pains in the future.

"Jing Chi, all of this depends on you. This is all I can do now. You must expose the prince's conspiracy and don't let the people of Liming live in dire straits. With such an emperor, the people will definitely not be happy."

There was a hint of pain in the Queen Mother's eyes.

"Don't worry, Grandmother. I will do my best and will never let you down."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother nodded with relief.

After Wen Jingchi left, he wanted to write another letter to the Empress Dowager's brother, but who would have thought that his subordinates would come in a hurry.

His expression was extremely ugly: "Your Majesty, the border is in danger, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants you to go there immediately."

"What did you say?" Wen Jingchi's face suddenly turned extremely dark.

Without having time to pack, he hurried into the palace.

When he arrived at the court hall, he found that all the civil and military officials were there. They were talking in a lively manner, with anxious looks on their faces.

Wen Chenxuan sat in the chair next to him and drank tea calmly.

Now that he has not officially ascended the throne, he cannot sit on the throne and can only sit on the chair next to it.

When he saw Wen Jingchi coming, he stood up.

"Royal brother, why did you come just now? We have all been waiting for you for a long time. There was a sudden emergency at the border. The Wateng tribe invaded. The border could not mobilize troops, so the general who guards the country wrote a letter to ask us to go to support. I wonder if you have any good ideas?"

He immediately took out the letter and handed it to Wen Jingchi.

It was obvious that all the ministers had read these letters, and they were all at a loss as to what to do.

After reading the contents of the letter, Wen Jingchi frowned tightly.

He originally wanted to summon back the general who defended the country, but he didn't expect that the Waten tribe in the north would come to invade at this time.

If it is not handled properly and the border is lost, more territory will be lost. Everything seems to have reached a critical point.

One of the ministers stepped forward and sighed deeply.

"Now that the other generals have not returned and are stationed in various places, we should elect a new general to lead the soldiers to go out to fight. Only in this way can we suppress Wateng and let them know that even if we don't decide on a new monarch now, we can't let them beat us by the head."

Another minister also snorted angrily.

"Lord Zhou is right. They are really going too far. It would be better to let this old minister lead the troops personally. I fought against them when I was young, and I will definitely not let you down."

The other ministers immediately stood up to oppose.

"Lord Wang, you are old and weak now, and you are also injured. How can you be qualified to be a general? Besides, you can't stand long marches."

Others also tried to persuade him, but Lord Wang was still not convinced.

Just when everyone was at a loss and didn't know who to choose as the general, Wen Chenxuan suddenly curled the corners of his lips slightly and set his eyes on Wen Jingchi.

"Royal brother, are you willing to be a general and lead the troops to support the great general?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Jingchi's face instantly darkened.

It's not that he was unwilling to go, but Wen Chenxuan asked him to go to the battle at this critical juncture, simply wanting him to die.

What's more, in battle, swords and spears are blind and no one can be sure of victory.

The Watten clan came with great force, and although they were successfully repelled before, it was also very difficult.

Seeing Wen Jingchi hesitate, Wen Chenxuan sneered in dissatisfaction.

"Are you afraid? As the sons of our father, how can we be afraid?"

“If I remember correctly, my royal brother, you had already led troops to war a few years ago. At that time, you personally fought against the Wateng clan. It was you who defeated them in the final battle, and that’s why you signed a friendly agreement with us.

Now that they have broken their promise in advance and are attacking again, I think you should go and suppress them. I wonder if my brother is willing to work for the welfare of the people?"

Wen Chenxuan was very eloquent, and fearing that Wen Jingchi would refuse, he deliberately brought in the common people.

Other ministers agreed that in the current situation, it would be most appropriate to let Wen Jingchi go.

"There are still many unresolved issues at court. How can I go out to fight at this time?" Wen Jingchi declined subconsciously.

These words completely angered Wen Chenxuan, and he slammed the table hard.

"Wen Jingchi, I think you are just trying to shirk responsibility and are afraid of death. As the future crown prince, I order you to go to war immediately."

Another minister took the initiative to stand up and oppose it.

"Your Highness, since you said that the Ninth Prince is afraid of death, why don't you lead the troops to battle on his behalf? Since you are the future crown prince, it will definitely be more intimidating if you go to battle in person.

Other ministers from Wen Jingchi's faction came out one after another to agree.

Wen Chenxuan was completely furious: "This is simply nonsense. If I go to war myself, who will handle state affairs? Now that my father is gone, there are many memorials that need to be reviewed by me, and his funeral and so on all need to be handled by me. I wish I could grow wings and fly to the border immediately. How can I leave?"

"Except for the Ninth Prince, there is no one suitable right now. Who among us has actually led troops in battle? Apart from Lord Wang, who among you has experience fighting Watt?"

These words left everyone in the court completely speechless.

Except for Wen Jingchi's experience of fighting them a few years ago, no one has ever really fought with them.

Wen Jingchi naturally knew that he couldn't shirk this matter, so he had to agree in the end.

Seeing that Wen Jingchi had no objection, Wen Chenxuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he didn't want to give this opportunity to make a contribution to Wen Jingchi, what if Wen Jingchi died?

There was a high possibility that he would die on the battlefield. Even if Wen Jingchi was not dead and could come back, he would have safely sat on the throne.

Therefore, the best solution is to let him leave the imperial city.

Later, he could find an excuse to keep Wen Jingchi guarding the border.

As long as he doesn't come back, he can rest assured on the throne.

Wen Jingchi naturally didn't know what he was thinking, but for the sake of the lives of the people, he had to defend the border to the death.

If the border was breached, neither Wen Chenxuan nor he himself would be safe.
