They had all planned it out: if they were accidentally arrested, they would say they were from the Liao Dynasty.
But they underestimated Qi Yuan's methods.
Under Qi Yuan's interrogation, he couldn't hold back and confessed everything within just one hour.
"A Liao person?"
Qi Yuan spoke slowly and repeated himself twice, so Murong Yue could only understand so much.
She could barely make up the name Zhang Yuqing.
The relationship between them was a little unclear to her.
“He is a Yun Kingdom person, Your Majesty, impersonating a Liao Kingdom person,” Ahao explained.
hiss--
The cunning people of Yun Kingdom.
Murong Yue was already unhappy, and these Yun people were so annoying.
She frowned and used her foot to dig a small pebble out of the dirt by the roadside.
With another powerful kick, he sent the small stone flying onto the frozen lake.
Click—
A hole the size of a washbasin was punched into the lake.
Murong Yue finally felt relieved, "Call them."
ah?
Qi Yuan was taken aback, somewhat uncertain, "Your Majesty, are we attacking the Yun Kingdom?"
"Okay, hit."
Murong Yue's logic is as follows: I am the most powerful person in the Qing Kingdom base. The Yun Kingdom had someone poison her, and it was the poison she hated the most.
And then, the people who framed her!
Zhang Yuqing is the person who manages this human base; in fact, she's practically one of her people.
They've bullied us to this extent, why aren't we fighting back? What are we waiting for?
Isn't it common for bases to go to war with each other?
Seeing that she wasn't joking, Qi Yuan bowed again, "Then I will convey the decree to the Ministry of War."
Ministry of War?
What was the Ministry of War again?
Murong Yue tried hard to recall what Li Xuanji had said about the Ministry of War.
Oh, oh, oh, it's in charge of the military.
War naturally requires an army, so sending an imperial edict to the Ministry of War is no problem.
"Yes, see you tomorrow, Ministry of War."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I take my leave."
Qi Yuan turned and left, glancing at A-Hao before he departed.
Ah Hao was completely baffled by what he saw.
Why are you looking at me?
It really is.
Does he expect me to deliver it to him?
This isn't the main hall, why are you giving gifts here?
Minister of War Chen Shi'en, who is sixty years old this year, is a well-known veteran general of the Qing Kingdom.
He was injured ten years ago and returned from border defense. After relinquishing his military power, he transformed into the Minister of War.
Throughout the history of various countries, it is rare for a general to retire after achieving great success and become one of the six ministers.
But the retired emperor Murong Gan retorted, "If the Ministry of War won't let soldiers take charge, who will?"
"Have those who didn't serve in the military ever been to the battlefield?"
Have you ever seen a war?
Have you ever been to the frontier?
Do you know martial arts?
"Hmph, none of them have anything to their name, yet they aspire to be Minister of War?"
"If you want to be, then go and compete with Chen Shi'en. If you win, you'll become the Minister of War; if you lose, you'll be sent to the border and never come back."
The Ministry of War is in charge of the troop movements of the Qing Kingdom.
That was the most powerful of all. In the struggle for succession throughout history, whoever got the support of the Ministry of War had won more than half the battle.
But the Emperor Emeritus's words frightened those who had been eyeing the Ministry of War.
Chen Shi'en was only fifty years old at that time, but no one dared to challenge him to a duel.
The 200-pound Hunyuan Hammer is incredibly powerful. If you were to be hit by it by accident, your brains would be splattered out.
If you lose, you'll be exiled to the frontier.
Gradually, everyone gave up their desire for the position of Minister of War.
As it turned out, the retired emperor's decision was correct.
Chen Shi'en understood the hardships and difficulties of the army.
In the past decade, there have been no major wars in the Qing Kingdom, but there have been frequent minor skirmishes and skirmishes. However, the Qing Kingdom has never lost a war due to weakness in its rear.
He was an outstanding Minister of War.
Late at night, the commander of the Imperial Guards came to the door, bringing with him an imperial edict from His Majesty.
Chen Shi'en was very uneasy and tentatively asked, "Lord Qi, is it... His Majesty intends for me to abdicate?"
Sending troops to the Yun Kingdom was a major event, and even more so, a secret. How could Qi Yuan possibly reveal it in the Ministry of Personnel?
Naturally, it is up to Chen Shi'en to discuss this with His Majesty in person.
He could only bow to Chen Shi'en again, saying, "Lord Chen, please do not worry. You will know when you see His Majesty tomorrow."
"It's getting late, I'll take my leave now."
As the commander of the Imperial Guards, it would be inappropriate for him to stay at the Minister of War's house for so long in the middle of the night; it would be bad if word got out.
"good..."
Chen Shi'en tossed and turned, unable to sleep. When dawn broke, he called his family over, gave them a rambling explanation, and then put on his official robes and went to the palace.
Murong Yue was in a low mood today as well.
She couldn't quite come to terms with the fact that her mother had other children.
I barely ate any of my favorite breakfast.
When Chen Shi'en arrived, he knelt on the ground to pay his respects.
"stand up."
With His Majesty's permission, Chen Shi'en stood up and secretly glanced at His Majesty.
His Majesty's expression is displeased; perhaps he has summoned him... Could it be that war is about to break out?
Murong Yue put down her chopsticks, washed her hands, and calmly said, "Attack Yun Kingdom."
Just three words.
It has no beginning and no end.
It was like a thunderbolt exploding above Chen Shi'en's head.
ah?
Chen Shi'en instinctively looked around. The Imperial Preceptor wasn't there, nor were the other officials; it was just him.
This... this...
"Your Majesty, does this old minister know why?"
Murong Yue pursed her lips, not wanting to speak.
With permission, Ahao recounted what Qi Yuan had reported the previous day.
Oh, so it's not about me stepping down, nor is it anything else. I see.
Chen Shi'en was finally relieved.
"Your Majesty, the Yun Kingdom is indeed despicable. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, the poisoning was extremely heinous."
