When the carriage arrived at the palace, Wang Ye said, "I will go to the palace to see my father first and have someone send you home.
You've been away from home for so long, come and see your father."
"Okay, I'll go home and see my father, then I'll come find you!" Princess Ruyue responded sweetly.
Ye nodded slightly and strode into the palace.
Even the guards guarding the palace gate stood in awe when they saw him.
The news that Ye led the army to defeat the enemy had already reached the palace.
It even made the barbarians actively seek peace, which had never happened before.
His attitude towards Ye became very respectful.
The commander even greeted Ye respectfully.
Ye did not put on airs and responded with a smile.
Walking into the imperial study to see Emperor Xuantian, Emperor Xuanye bowed respectfully.
"Your son greets His Majesty!"
Xuantian's face was full of kindness, and he waved at him, "Get up and sit down!"
"Thank you, Father!"
After thanking him, Ye sat aside.
“You did a good job, defeating the enemy with only a few thousand cavalry.
There has never been such a good victory before."
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. This is not really my achievement. The victory over the enemy was entirely due to Princess Ruyue and Zhao Wudi leading the troops and fighting bravely.
Especially in order to lure the enemy into an ambush, Princess Ruyue took a risk and almost lost her life.
I just built some crossbows in advance, so that the laborers can be put to good use."
Ye briefly recounted the course of the battle.
Put all the credit on others.
Xuantian did not ask any more questions and continued, "No matter what, the enemy has suffered heavy losses and has taken the initiative to ask for peace with us.
What do you think about this matter? "
Ye answered without hesitation, "We absolutely cannot trust the barbarians. There must be something fishy about them actively seeking peace.
I suspect the main barbarian army has suffered losses and is worried about being unable to suppress the other enemy nations.
That’s why we have endured the humiliation and asked for peace. Once their cavalry is replenished, we will definitely find an opportunity to retaliate.”
Xuantian was very satisfied with the answer, and his eyes flashed.
He spoke again: "You mean to refuse their request for peace and continue to fight them?
But don't forget that the northern countries have now united.
Now we are sending troops to deal not only with the barbarians, but also with many other enemy forces.
We have no advantage at all fighting this way."
Xu Ye had already made preparations, and when he heard the question, he answered calmly: "Since the enemy has taken the initiative to ask for peace, we can use their own tactics against them.
First, make various demands during the peace talks to force them to agree, and at the same time test their bottom line.
Second, this battle obtained a large number of excellent war horses.
Zhao Wudi is training the cavalry.
As long as there is enough time, an elite cavalry can be trained that is not inferior to the enemy.
When fighting resumes, their cavalry will lose all their advantages.
As long as we can defeat the enemy a few more times on the front battlefield, we will become stronger and stronger, and they will become weaker and weaker.
Sooner or later, all enemy countries in the north will be wiped out."
Xuantian never expected that Xiaoye would have such high ambitions.
Even his current idea is just to defeat the enemy country and gain decades of stability to recuperate.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he wanted to destroy all enemy countries.
Such courage is truly amazing.
But in Xuantian's opinion, although the spirit is commendable, the probability of success is very low.
After Xuantian was surprised, a smile appeared on his face and he asked, "Defeating all the enemy countries is not something that can be done overnight.
Although there were constant wars between the enemy countries in the north.
But once they encounter danger, they will immediately unite to deal with us.
How easy is it to defeat them?"
Ye said confidently: "I believe that as long as you work hard, there is nothing you can't do.
If you want to defeat the northern countries, you must first limit the strength of Yunlu Pavilion.
According to my investigation, Yunlu Pavilion's activities in the northern countries are becoming more and more frequent.
It also provided them with a lot of help.
Yunlu Pavilion is not trustworthy at all.
At the critical moment, they might even stab us in the back.
As the saying goes, to resist foreign aggression, one must first stabilize the country. If Yunlu Pavilion cannot be dealt with, it will sooner or later become a major threat."
Xuantian's eyes lit up.
I didn't expect that my son was so well-informed.
Such a hidden message can't be detected.
Once again, it was unexpected.
"Yunlu Pavilion is the best sect in the world and is highly praised by the people of Dayuan.
Once we strike them, we might lose the support of the people.
This is no joke!"
Xuantian looked at Ye with great interest, wanting to know what he would do.
Ye didn't care about Yunlu Pavilion at all. He curled his lips and said, "The reason why Yunlu Pavilion enjoys praise among the people is simply because they manage it well and know how to promote it.
When the Dayuan Dynasty was established, there were constant wars across the country and the people lived in misery.
Yunlu Pavilion only distributed some food for disaster relief and some medicinal herbs for people to treat illnesses.
Doing something good will make it known.
Let the people of the world think that they have been saved.
But in fact, the amount of disaster relief food and medical treatment they provided was not much.
The court made efforts but they reaped the benefits. They are really cunning and hateful.
I believe that exposing the true face of Yunlu Pavilion will allow the people to have a clear understanding and they will no longer worship them."
Xuantian became more and more surprised.
Even many ministers and even princes in the court never saw through this.
But Ye saw it very clearly.
It's absolutely true. Whenever Yunlu Pavilion does something good, they will publicize it desperately so that the people will have hope in them.
Moreover, the story became more and more mysterious among the people, and many people even believed that the disciples of Yunlu Pavilion were extraordinary and worldly immortals.
Seeing this, their disciples all bowed down in worship.
For the emperor who controls the imperial power, this kind of thing is extremely disgusting.
However, after he ascended the throne, the world was in turmoil, and Yunlu Pavilion was indeed very powerful, so he had not taken any action to deal with them until now.
However, as the power of Yunlu Pavilion expanded, it began to interfere with the power of the imperial court.
Xuantian had already lost his patience.
Begin to accumulate strength and attack Yunlu Pavilion.
Xu Ye's outstanding performance gave him hope of winning.
"Even if what you said makes sense, Yunlu Pavilion does have some tricks up its sleeve.
Both their medicines and medical skills have indeed saved many people.
It’s not that easy to make them lose the support of the people.”
Xuantian said.
Ye curled his lips coldly, "Your Majesty, you don't know that Yunlu Pavilion relies on their extraordinary status to sell medicine at high prices.
First cut off their path and make it so that Yunlu Pavilion can no longer make money.
At the same time, let the people know that they are too evil-hearted. Not only are the drugs expensive, but the effects are not as good as rumored.
The people will soon realize that they are being taken advantage of.
One or two incidents may not affect the status of Yunlu Pavilion among the people.
But over time, someone will eventually understand.”
