Chapter 308: Retreat



Others talked about it and felt that what Mrs. Shangguan said made sense.

Lord Shangguan was pushed to the altar for a while, unable to get up or down.

If I don't take the beating on behalf of Shangguan Wan'er today, the good reputation I have built up in the past will be completely destroyed!

Chu Weiyue tried hard to hold back her laughter. If there wasn't anyone around, she would have been sitting on the ground holding her stomach and laughing.

Especially Lord Shangguan's face, which was as dark as liver, looked both funny and hilarious.

In the end, he could only grit his teeth and take half the beating on behalf of Shangguan Wan'er.

Shangguan Wan'er was a woman, and she cried out in pain and fainted after only ten strokes of the board.

Beating her with a stick is not the purpose; the real purpose is to embarrass her.

No further execution was carried out and she was taken away.

Lord Shangguan was a man of steel, but he burst into tears after being beaten with only fifteen boards.

Back in the room, Chu Weiyue lay on the bed and laughed until her stomach hurt.

Wen Jingchi couldn't help but ruffled her hair.

"You are the only one who can do evil things. They were a loving family, but now you have destroyed everything."

Chu Weiyue snorted in dissatisfaction, "Let them mess with me, this is the price! Shangguan Wan'er will probably be traumatized for the rest of her life, her own parents actually sold her out..."

She sighed again and made a sad expression.

Wen Jingchi frowned, feeling that this woman was feeling grief over the death of a rabbit, but he had no evidence!

The matter has officially come to an end.

Their lives were peaceful in the following days.

The two of them were extremely relaxed here, going out for flower-viewing picnics the whole day.

The soil and water in the south of the Yangtze River are very nourishing. My skin has become whiter and more delicate than when I first arrived, and my expression and temperament have become completely different.

Lord Shangguan wrote down to Wen Chenxuan everything that had happened in the past few days.

Even their recent moods were specially written down.

After the morning court session, Wen Chenxuan received a letter from Lord Shangguan sent by carrier pigeon thousands of miles away.

There was a flash of surprise in his eyes, and he subconsciously felt that there was good news.

After reading the letter, his face became darker and darker.

He crumpled up the letter and slammed it hard on the table, "What a bunch of incompetent idiots!"

Thinking of the Wenjing Pond described in the letter, I felt even more indignant.

He was in a state of panic here, having a hard time finding someone to be the vanguard general. Wen Jingchi, on the other hand, was traveling around with Chu Weiyue and enjoying their romantic time together.

If there really was such a good job, he would rather not be the emperor and enjoy it.

The reason why they were sent to Jiangnan was to suppress and severely poke at the arrogance of Wenjing City.

Given his personality, I thought he would be frustrated, but I never expected that he would be so successful.

At this time, he had no intention of taking care of Wen Jingchi.

The young eunuch came in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, several ministers are outside asking for an audience. They are because the matter of the vanguard general has not been confirmed..."

He didn't say the rest and looked at Wen Chenxuan tremblingly.

Wen Chenxuan's temper has been unstable recently because of this matter, and he would punish them severely if he was not satisfied with the slightest thing.

Wen Chenxuan's face was gloomy and he grabbed the teacup and smashed it to the ground.

"A bunch of old stubborn people! Since they want a general, I will find a general for them and ask them to come to see me immediately."

Ten ministers came in from outside, knelt on the ground and saluted, three of them were his confidants.

Seeing this scene, Wen Chenxuan was overwhelmed!

"My dear ministers, please stand up. What are you doing here?"

"Your Majesty, I wonder who you plan to appoint as the vanguard general this time. Have you decided on a candidate?"

Leading the group were Wen Jingchi's trusted ministers.

The fact that they are able to come together today clearly shows that they have chosen to share a common hatred for the enemy in the face of national affairs.

Even if they fight fiercely, they can still be clear-headed and powerful.

If the country is destroyed, all the glory and wealth will be gone!

After looking at them, Wen Chenxuan suddenly sneered coldly.

In the past, they disliked each other. Three of them were his subordinates, and four were Wen Jingchi's.

The rest are neutral ministers, who are typical in their self-preservation efforts.

It's really rare for ten of them to get together!

So Wen Chenxuan also knew that he had to give them a satisfactory explanation today.

"I know exactly what you want to say. I, the Vanguard General, have already prepared a list and will write it down for you now."

With a flourish of his pen, he wrote down six names and handed them to several ministers for review.

When they saw the words above, they looked at each other.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable. They are all young men, the oldest is no more than 30 years old. How can they lead the troops?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, this will never work. If something happens to them, it will greatly damage their morale. In addition, the Jin generals they are fighting against are very experienced, so they will not be able to win."

"Your Majesty, please revoke your order immediately and don't let the innocent men die tragically. They still need more experience. It would be better to summon the Ninth Prince back immediately."

At the end, they knelt on the ground again.

They all spoke with the same tone, and even the ministers who were close to Wen Chenxuan became aggressive.

Wen Chenxuan's hands were in his sleeves, and he had already clenched them into fists, to the point of creaking.

What he hated most was Wen Jingchi!

Since childhood, everyone has compared themselves with him. Even when he became the emperor, he still needed him to consolidate his rule...

Why can't he consolidate his power himself? He has the final say in his kingdom!

"I have my own reasons for letting them go. Don't say anything more. Leave immediately."

"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. The people of the Jin Kingdom are good at using poison. Only the Ninth Prince can defeat the enemy. Even when I was young, I had no confidence that I could win this battle. Your Majesty, please take back your order!"

These people knelt on the ground again and kowtowed continuously.

Wen Chenxuan flew into a rage and pushed the criminal in front of him to the ground.

"Get out of here, now!"

He was completely enraged and drew the sword beside him, pointing it at several ministers.

"Listen to me, if anyone dares to mention Wen Jingchi's name again, I will kill him without mercy! The country now belongs to me, and I can defend it with my own ability. This time I will lead this group of generals to fight the enemy in person.

I want to see how powerful the Jin Kingdom is, and make you all bow down like rats. You are still a bunch of old officials, it's really shameful..."

Wen Chenxuan was furious and scolded them severely.

They were fined three months' salary, kicked out, and given ten severe beatings with the stick.

Although he also knew that it was unlikely that he would win if he went to the battlefield himself.

But he was still rebellious and wanted to prove that he was better than Wen Jingchi with his strength.

Wen Chenxuan settled the court, let his most trusted ministers take charge, and personally led his men and generals to the battlefield.

Even though he led the army in person, he still suffered defeat in the end.
