Chapter 518 He Wants to Fight
Jincheng really calculated it very seriously.
Before today, he thought his chances of success were 60%.
After today...he thought Six was a joke.
Luo Jingfeng won't give it to him.
Regardless of whether he is really his uncle's favorite person.
Luo Jingfeng just wouldn't give it.
The Lord Protector of the Country, who has made great military achievements and is self-centered, will not give up power to a young emperor.
But we have given a few counties today, how many more counties will we give tomorrow?
Do I need to transfer funds from the Ministry of Accounts if I don’t have enough money to grow mushrooms?
The more Chu Jincheng thought about it, the more confused he became. The series of events that followed were all his nightmares. He couldn't imagine whether Luo Jingfeng would force him to write an edict again if he didn't agree.
So what else does the emperor do?
Why not just let Luo Jingfeng do it?
"Our Lady of Deacon has arrived."
As soon as Xu Wan came in, she saw the young boy sitting on the ground. She shouted in surprise, "Chengcheng! Why are you sitting on the ground? Winter is coming soon, and the ground is very cold."
Xu Wan reached out to pull him, but couldn't.
Jin Cheng's eyes were misty, and he asked in confusion: "Mom... doesn't he love me very much? Why didn't he choose me? I don't understand."
Xu Wan felt distressed when she heard this. She leaned over and asked, "What happened? Why didn't they choose you? Was it the Duke of Protectorate?"
Jin Cheng nodded and said aggrievedly: "I rejected the memorial from the King of Zhennan, but he intercepted it and sent it back to me. He intercepted my memorial..."
"How could this happen..." Xu Wan also found it unbelievable, "Is the Duke of Protectorate crazy? Why would he treat you like this? You..." You are the emperor.
How could anyone dare to intercept the emperor's memorial?
The little devil felt as if he had been slapped hard in the face. He resisted the urge to cry and said self-deprecatingly, "I was too confident, Mom, you're right, I was too blindly confident. I thought I could definitely beat the King of Zhennan, but in the end I lost miserably."
When they first met, Xu Wan did often criticize him for his blind self-confidence, but it was this kind of arrogance that made him go further and further away.
Later, the child became more and more stable.
Almost no longer associated with this word.
But now he said this himself, which shows that he was really hurt...
Xu Wan hugged him, patted his back with one hand, and comforted him: "Don't doubt yourself, our Chengcheng is the best child in the world, and you have many, many people who love you."
The palace door was open, and gusts of cold wind blew in.
Jin Cheng's eyes were red, and he said hoarsely, "Mom, can you go back and ask Dad to help me?"
"Okay, tell me, what can we do for you?" Xu Wan let go of him and saw tears in the boy's eyes, but he was trying hard not to cry.
Chu Jincheng said quietly: "At the border of Yunnan, I took down the imperial edict granting the land to the King of Zhennan."
Xu Wan paused and asked, "Do you want to break up with the Duke of Huguo?"
Jin Cheng smiled sadly: "A country cannot have two masters. Either I will be the emperor, or he will be the emperor."
Xu Wan was silent. She calculated the time it would take for the memorial to arrive in Yunnan, and then for it to be passed on to the Duke of Huguo. It would take about half a month.
He had more than half a month to prepare before the fight.
Xu Wan asked, "Jincheng, have you made a plan?"
Jin Cheng whispered, "It was decided long before he came back, but I thought it would never happen. I didn't expect it to happen so soon."
Feelings for Luo Jingfeng are one thing, and thinking of ways to take back military power is another.
As Chu Heng taught, the young emperor learned very well to distinguish between public and private affairs.
Realize that a storm is coming.
Xu Wan said worriedly, "Okay, Mom believes you can do it well. If you need anything, be sure to call us. Your father and I will always be your backers."
The young boy lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Mom, I'm tired of reading the memorials, I want to play Cuju."
"Do you want to go out of the palace and play at the Cuju field?"
Jin Cheng shook his head, looked up and said, "Let Dad come to the palace and help me build a Cuju field. I want to play in the palace."
Xu Wan said, "Okay, I'll ask him to fix it for you when I get back. It will be ready soon."
Jin Cheng continued, "We need two more teams of kids who are good at Cuju, but not those who are good at martial arts, or I'm afraid I won't be able to beat them."
Xu Wan couldn't help laughing: "This is not like your style. Aren't you the best at Cuju in the world? Why are you still worried about not being able to beat others?"
Jin Cheng looked into the distance and said, "People should remain humble."
The child said a lot of strange things, but Xu Wan still noticed something was wrong. She went back and repeated the exact words to Zong Zhao.
Zong Zhao said: "He has grown up."
Xu Wan was stunned and worried: "He wants to escape from Luo Jingfeng's control now, is there a high chance of success?"
Zong Zhao whispered, "He's quite old. He understands everything."
The Cuju field in the palace was built very quickly. In just a few days, a venue as big as the one outside the palace was completed.
Jincheng had been attending court, reading memorials, eating and sleeping well these past few days, but he was not happy.
When the Cuju field was completed, the two teams of energetic Cuju players shouted to him in unison: "Long live the emperor!"
Children of the same age were so energetic, clear-eyed and carefree. They were even so happy as if they had done something great just because they were chosen to enter the palace to play Cuju with the emperor.
Eunuch Huang came over and said, "Your Majesty, your Cuju uniforms are ready. One set was made in the palace, and the other was sent by Madam Fu Sheng. Which one do you want to change into?"
Jin Cheng smiled and said, "Of course it was given by Madam Fu Sheng. Maybe it has my favorite night-shining pearl powder on it, the kind that glows when you play Cuju at night."
Eunuch Huang was amused by him: "Your Majesty, now that you mention this, I remember that you also wore this when you entered the palace a few years ago. At that time, the late emperor and many ministers were watching from afar."
Jin Cheng was stunned and asked, "Has the late emperor seen me?"
He actually never met the late emperor.
Even if that was his biological father.
Eunuch Huang shook his head: "The distance was too far, so I didn't see it clearly. However, the late emperor did intend to come over to see it, but was stopped by King Ruining."
"Your Highness..." Jin Cheng whispered.
At that time, my father and uncle were not back yet. If his identity was discovered by the emperor, he would probably not have survived.
But fortunately, there was His Highness, who silently helped him behind the scenes and blocked the biting wind and snow.
Jin Cheng felt a warm feeling in his heart, and his mind was filled with hope again, dispelling all those dark emotions.
Mother is right, he still has many, many people who love him, and he still has such a good prince supporting him.
He won't give up easily.
He wants to fight for himself and those who love him.
