Chapter 187. Northern Frontier Court
The next morning, in the Northern Frontier court.
Emperor Wuji yawned.
He was so excited last night that he couldn't sleep the whole night, his mind full of fantasies about ascending to heaven and becoming a god after his death.
Not just him.
Emperor Wuji's sons were in the same situation as him and were in a state of excitement all night.
Emperor Wuji was discussing state affairs with his ministers. Wu Haifeng, who was standing below, frowned and felt a little uneasy.
Didn’t we agree that today we would decide who would lead the troops to the border and launch an offensive against Donglin after the spring?
That old man Nangong Lingzheng has been devoting himself to finding a miracle doctor or medicine for his good-for-nothing son over the years. He is no match for him in leading troops and teams.
And this time.
He must take Nangong Lingzheng's head, capture Donglin, and avenge his previous humiliation!
"Today's court session ends here. If none of you ministers have anything to report, then we may adjourn." Emperor Wuji was too sleepy and wanted to go back to sleep.
Wu Haifeng was pulled out of his fantasy by the word "withdraw from court". He was stunned for a moment, then immediately stood up with a bow.
"emperor!"
Wu Haifeng's voice was urgent and urgent. Emperor Wuji glanced at him, with no extra expression except for a flash of surprise.
hehe!
It was this old bastard again who made him break the contract and go to war with Donglin.
He had not forgotten what his master had said, that the gods had sent a lucky star to protect Donglin in order to stop his killing and cruelty, and that his northern border would eventually lead to the destruction of the country.
There was a hint of coldness in Emperor Wuji's eyes. The only thing that was hindering his ascension was the revenge for his father's murder!
Wu Haifeng did not notice the expression of Emperor Wuji. He still hoped that His Majesty would send him to lead the troops.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
Emperor Wuji snorted coldly: "Accurate!"
He could take this opportunity to declare that he would never go to war with Donglin.
Wu Haifeng stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, a great battle is imminent. I, your humble servant, would like to request that I be the commander-in-chief of the attack on Donglin."
"In Donglin today, the only capable person is Nangong Lingzheng. However, over the years, he has been fighting for his only child and is no longer as brave and adept as he used to be."
"I can guarantee that in the first battle we will capture several cities in Donglin, catching them off guard. Within six months, we will storm the Imperial City, destroy Donglin, and dominate the Northern Frontier!"
Wu Haifeng spoke so powerfully that the military generals were filled with excitement, while the civil officials remained silent.
The corner of Emperor Wuji's mouth twitched fiercely as he sat on a high position.
If he were still the same person as yesterday, he would definitely be very excited to hear Wu Haifeng's passionate speech.
But now...
It is more cool to be a god than to dominate the world.
Before Emperor Wuji could even ask, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince jumped out and roared, "Father, no!"
What a bullshit war! He is the reincarnation of the King of Hell and has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
The King of Hell once said that if the number of new ghosts entering the underworld cannot reach a certain ratio with the number of reincarnated souls, he would not have to continue to be the King of Hell.
He thought about it all night last night and decided to encourage the people in the northern border to have more children. No matter whether it was a boy or a girl, as long as they gave birth to a child, the court would reward them with money.
He is also planning how to increase the population. This bastard even wants to start a war and send heads to the underworld!
Emperor Wuji glanced at the prince, his eyes slightly raised.
He remembered that his son also supported the war yesterday, so why did he act so differently today?
The Crown Prince of Beijiang calmed himself and said, "Father, I went home last night and thought carefully. The truce agreement between Beijiang and Donglin lasts for twenty years, and there are still five years left. Beijiang cannot go back on its word and become the one who breaks its promise."
Wu Haifeng was stunned for a moment, staring at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in shock.
The Northern Frontier Crown Prince automatically ignored that gaze and continued, "Father, even if we want to attack Donglin, we should wait until the day the contract expires, otherwise the entire Northern Frontier will be ridiculed by the world."
"Five years is only a short time. Don't let this short period of time leave a stain on your father's life in the annals of history and cause him to be criticized by future generations. I hope you will reconsider this."
The Crown Prince of Northern Frontier lifted his robe, his eyes were firm, and he knelt upright in the hall, showing his determination.
No matter what, he will stabilize it for the next five years first, and then he will make up other reasons when the deadline is up.
If it still doesn't work.
The Crown Prince of Northern Frontier narrowed his eyes. At worst, he could find a way to seize this position!
Emperor Wuji felt a chill on his back and shivered slightly.
Wu Haifeng couldn't sit still anymore, and almost spit out a mouthful of blood: "Your Highness, that's not what you said yesterday!"
The Northern Frontier Crown Prince snorted softly, "Yesterday is yesterday. Could it be that you ate yesterday and won't eat today?"
"Your Highness, I am considering the entire Northern Frontier and my father. It's only five years, and it's not like we can't wait. Why should we invite public outcry at this time?"
Emperor Wuji nodded with satisfaction.
If you can speak, you can say more so that he won’t have to make excuses!
The Prince of Northern Frontier suddenly stood up and continued to angrily criticize Wu Haifeng while looking at his rather ugly face.
"I think you want to take revenge for the way Nangong Lingzheng beat you to a pulp fifteen years ago."
"General Wu, are you afraid that in five years, you won't have enough energy to fight on the battlefield? So you're deliberately provoking a conflict between the two countries at this time?"
Wu Haifeng's knees softened and he immediately knelt down, looking extremely panicked.
"Your Majesty, I have no such thoughts. I simply feel that attacking Donglin at this time will definitely catch them off guard. This is definitely not what the Crown Prince has in mind."
The Northern Frontier Crown Prince rolled his eyes.
"From what I know, the Emperor of Donglin is incredibly cunning. He's wiped out every spy we've planted. He claims to be unprepared, but I'm sure he's already sharpened his blade, waiting for us to strike."
"And that Prince Su, he's a god of war. No matter how hard he works for his son, it's impossible for him to stop leading the troops in training. Otherwise, the military power in his hands would have been taken away by Emperor Wenxuan long ago."
"You're still foolish enough to think they're not as brave and skilled as they used to be. Maybe they're just playing a trick, deliberately luring you in to make Northern Frontier break the contract, so they can take us down in one fell swoop, gain fame, and destroy Northern Frontier."
Emperor Wuji kept nodding in his heart, yes!
The northern border will be destroyed.
Wu Haifeng: ...
He only felt something pressing on his chest, and his vision went dark.
Wu Haifeng couldn't understand why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had changed so quickly.
"Your Highness...Your Highness..."
Could it be that someone is threatening him?
"What palace? It doesn't matter what you call it."
The Crown Prince of Northern Frontier bowed to Emperor Wuji and said, "Father, the above is just my opinion. Even if we really want to take over Donglin, we still have to wait another five years..."
For a while.
Civil and military officials were whispering among themselves. A small number of military officers insisted on fighting, while the rest of the officials agreed with the Crown Prince's opinion.
"Father, I also agree with your idea."
The second prince stood up at this time. In his previous life, he was a black tortoise beast who protected the people of the world. In this life, he also shouldered a heavy responsibility.
We cannot initiate a struggle, we must protect the people of the world!
"Father, I second your motion!"
"Father, I second your proposal!"
The third prince and the fourth prince stood up at the same time, their faces full of determination.
When the civil and military officials saw that the princes did not support provoking a war between the two countries at this time, they all stood up.
"Your Majesty, I also agree with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's point of view."
"I second the motion!"
Wu Haifeng:!!!
