Chapter 334 Internal and External Troubles



A country can only discuss internal strife if it has first preserved its basic political power.

When internal and external troubles occur at the same time, the external troubles should be solved first so that you can deal with the internal troubles with peace of mind.

Wen Jingchi understands this principle better than anyone else.

Chu Weiyue clenched his fists in anger, "This Wen Chenxuan is really stupid. We spend all day thinking about how to defend our country, but he only cares about his own interests. If he hadn't made trouble, Wateng would have been dealt with by us long ago."

"Wen Chenxuan has done so many abominable things, one day he will get his retribution."

Wen Jingchi patted Chu Weiyue on the head and hugged her tightly in his arms.

It was a rare moment of being together, and neither of them mentioned the matter again.

The next two days were quite leisurely, and Chu Weiyue and Wen Jingchi were busy having fun.

Wen Chenxuan's health improved day by day, and he gradually regained some vitality.

After the morning court session that day, Wen Chenxuan dragged his tired body back to his bedroom and called over a few of his trusted subordinates.

His face was filled with deep worry, and his men were somewhat puzzled.

"Your Majesty, why are you so worried? Are you worried about something? Why don't you tell me? I am willing to share your worries and troubles."

Wen Chenxuan glared at him coldly, "My only worry is Wen Jingchi. Now that my health has improved, Wen Jingchi still stands in the way of the court. He has always been a thorn in my side.

Recently, he has taken advantage of my serious illness to seize some power. I plan to take back these powers, as well as the important military power, and then find an opportunity to let him return to his fiefdom in Jiangnan."

After hearing this, one of the confidants answered subconsciously.

"But Your Majesty, if we let the prince go back at this critical moment, will there be trouble? Without him, the people from Wateng's side will definitely cause trouble, and there will also be the Kingdom of Jin. If they attack from both sides, we will be caught off guard."

Another confidant nodded and said, "The Kingdom of Jin and Wateng are far away from the Jiangnan fiefdom. If they attack at the same time, and the Ninth Prince is far away in Jiangnan, it would be a waste of time to transfer him back to fight. Maybe before he comes back, we will already..."

"That's enough."

Before he finished speaking, Wen Chenxuan's face turned as dark as ink, and he grabbed the cup and smashed it to the ground.

His eyes were burning with murderous intent, which seemed to fall on several people with real intent.

Several men gritted their teeth and dared not make a sound.

"I warn you, if I hear these words again, I will kill you without mercy! No matter what you have done before, I will not forgive you.

I will never allow anyone to boost Wen Jingchi's arrogance. The court can still function without him..."

A subordinate who had been standing in the corner and remained silent finally spoke up because he could no longer bear it.

"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance, and the Ninth Prince must be present in the court. For the sake of the country and the people, please let him stay. As for returning to Jiangnan, wait until the overall situation is settled before letting him leave, so that it will be safer."

Wen Chenxuan gritted his teeth, and after he finished speaking, he laughed sinisterly a few times.

“It seems that you value Wen Jingchi’s ability very much.”

His fingers creaked and the cup broke.

"Get out of here, get out now, and don't let me see you again!"

He pointed at the man's nose, scolded him angrily, and kicked over the chair next to him.

All the memorials on the table were thrown to the ground.

The man was startled and could only calm down and turn away.

Wen Chenxuan was unwilling to let him go. He kept cursing him by name and even cursed all his ancestors.

The man came to the door, looking melancholy and lonely.

His father was loyal to Wen Chenxuan, and he took over his father's position after his father passed away a month ago.

When his father was alive, he heard a lot about Wen Jingchi's infidelity, which made him believe it.

I originally wanted to pledge my loyalty to Wen Chenxuan, but after observing him for some time, I found that he was very different from the Ninth Prince.

Wen Jingchi truly stood up for the people, but the emperor in front of him only knew how to enjoy himself selfishly and didn't care about the lives of the people at all.

Even he, a minor official who had just entered the court, knew the importance of Wenjing Pond.

If he left the capital, Wateng and other areas of the Jin Kingdom would definitely take the opportunity to create chaos.

He absolutely did not believe that Wen Chenxuan, who had been in power since childhood, would not know the harmfulness of the matter.

In his eyes, there was only the enemy Wen Jingchi, and no one was concerned about the common people.

He clenched his teeth tightly and had a fierce ideological struggle in his heart.

When I got home in the afternoon, a woman came over to me in a hurry.

"General, you are finally back. Did everything go well today?"

The man inherited his father's title and was known as the General of the Small Town State.

The general of the small town snorted in dissatisfaction, "Don't mention it, I can't believe the emperor can be so selfish that he actually wants to drive the Ninth Prince out. How can such a person sit on the throne?"

After complaining a few words, the woman suddenly bit her lower lip, not knowing whether she should say more.

Looking at his expression, the general of the small town country showed displeasure.

"Just say whatever you want to say. There's no need for us to hide anything as husband and wife."

After a long while, the woman sighed.

"In fact, two hours ago, the emperor sent people to our house to inquire about it and searched our house. You were not there at the time, so I thought about not telling you about it. But after hearing what you said, the more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong. Does he suspect that you are colluding with the enemy and betraying the country, or colluding with Wen Jingchi?"

Upon hearing this, the general of the small town country immediately widened his eyes.

"This is outrageous. How could he humiliate me like this? I'm going to find him now."

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he went to find Wen Chenxuan angrily.

At this time, Wen Chenxuan had just woken up from a nap and was planning to go to the garden to admire the flowers and have Xue Fei accompany him to drink and have fun.

Suddenly, I saw a menacing figure, it was the general of the small town country.

Thinking of the instructions given by his men, his face grew darker and darker.

Although nothing was found in General Guo’s house in the small town, a precious sword was found.

This sword had previously belonged to Wen Jingchi, and he had been seen wearing it a few days ago, but now, the sword was in the hands of the general of the small town country.

Seeing him coming over, Wen Chenxuan snorted coldly.

"General of the Small Town, you still have the courage to come to me. I have something to ask you."

He gave the eunuchs a look and they handed him the sword.

Wen Chenxuan took the sword and slammed it hard on the stone table next to him.

"This sword was found in your study. How do you explain why your sword is exactly the same as Wen Jingchi's? This sword is called Qingyun Sword. It is a famous sword. It is impossible for there to be two swords that are exactly the same.

Can you explain clearly what is going on?"

His words were extremely fierce, and by the end, the anger in his eyes was on the verge of exploding.

Looking into his eyes, General Xiaozhenguo felt waves of sadness in his heart.
