Chapter 340 Do you think the prince can come back?
Xiao Cang explained, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent those captives back to the Golden Scale Kingdom along the border of Da Chu. Most of them were unwilling to participate in the war and have already bypassed the Jincheng Mountains and returned to the Golden Scale Kingdom. If they want to go back, it will take at least a month, so they do not pose a threat."
When Emperor Qingyuan heard this, his face gradually turned cold.
The ministers fell silent instantly.
Emperor Qingyuan calmed down his anger and spoke calmly.
"Although the Crown Prince is kindhearted, he must choose the right time. Letting a tiger go back to the mountains like this will surely cause great trouble. The national treasury is tight right now, so this battle must be fought and resolved quickly. Don't be too soft-hearted!"
Emperor Qingyuan's voice showed the majesty of an emperor, and he finally pointed out Chu Li's fault.
It would be a good idea to magnify this matter and let the ministers see that the prince is not as impeccable as they imagined.
Pei Ye raised the corner of his lips slightly in a sarcastic smile. Did Emperor Qingyuan feel the crisis?
We must find a way to make Chu Li become the empress as soon as possible.
Suddenly, a voice appeared, "Your Majesty, I don't think there is anything wrong with the Crown Prince's actions."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. Why would he speak for the prince?
Are you trying to kill yourself by standing up at this time and openly opposing Emperor Qingyuan?
Pei Ye looked over and saw that it was Luo Mingchuan, the top scholar from a few years ago.
In just a few years, he had jumped from being an editor in the Hanlin Academy to becoming the second-rank president of the Hanlin Academy.
This kid is not afraid of death and dares to directly challenge Emperor Qingyuan. Could it be that he is also interested in Chu Li?
Pei Ye looked at him solemnly and decided to listen to what Luo Mingchuan had to say first.
"Your Majesty, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince threatens the lives of these 50,000 Golden Scale soldiers, it will only play into the Golden Scale's hands. Once His Royal Highness the Crown Prince kills so many people, it will only make other countries wary, and then the Golden Scale State Master will become famous."
"By then, the Golden Scale Nation will have sufficient reasons to unite with other countries to besiege the Great Chu. If they all come to take a piece of the pie, how should we respond?"
"I believe that Your Highness the Crown Prince is working hard to make the war develop in a peaceful and positive direction. Isn't this what the people of Da Chu want to see?"
Luo Mingchuan's voice was powerful and well-reasoned.
Emperor Qingyuan looked the number one scholar up and down, and he seemed to support Chu Li very much.
Unknowingly, Chu Li had already built up his own power in the court.
Prime Minister Jiang stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I think that the Crown Prince did not act decisively to eliminate the remaining 70,000 Golden Scale Army in time, leaving hidden dangers. If this continues, the battle line will inevitably be extended. The national treasury is tight at the moment. As Your Majesty said, we must fight quickly and resolve the issue quickly."
Liu Ximing and Luo Mingchuan from Prime Minister Jiang's party were runners-up in the same year.
He stepped out of the line and said loudly, "Prime Minister Jiang is right. I second your opinion."
Then, officials from Prime Minister Jiang's party stepped out and said, "Your Majesty is wise and wise. I second the motion."
Emperor Qingyuan felt relieved when he heard that Prime Minister Jiang and others were on his side.
Luo Mingchuan obviously did not take him, the emperor, seriously. He was young and hot-headed and needed to be taught a lesson.
The people from the Censorate looked at each other. This time they did not stand up, but their hearts were as clear as a mirror.
The prince had more and more supporters in the court, and Emperor Qingyuan began to be wary of him.
Luo Mingchuan spoke very well and they all wanted to applaud.
But he is still too young, and I am afraid his career will soon suffer setbacks.
Pei Ye looked at Luo Mingchuan. Well, he made note of this person for Chu Li.
Anyway, with his personality, he wouldn't argue for Chu Li like Luo Mingchuan did.
If necessary, he would do it himself.
......
Sure enough, Luo Mingchuan was demoted to editor because of his improper performance of duties.
Liu Ximing immediately became the president of the Hanlin Academy.
The two people's positions were swapped.
Luo Mingchuan didn't care at all whether he was demoted or not.
Liu Ximing walked up to him and looked at him proudly.
He looked at his colleagues who were watching and said in a gentle voice, "How can you let the former dean do so much work!"
The books in front of Luo Mingchuan were piled high.
He was not influenced by Liu Ximing at all and continued to do his own job and the things imposed on him by Liu Ximing.
Seeing that he was unmoved, Liu Ximing touched the books in front of Luo Mingchuan with his hand, and all the books fell over.
Luo Mingchuan pressed his fingers on the table, suppressing his anger.
He looked up at Liu Ximing, then put the books in place one by one.
He is waiting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come back.
Emperor Qingyuan did nothing himself and was also afraid of his son.
Even if he sits firmly on the throne, he cannot stop the will of the people.
Liu Ximing leaned forward and said, "Those who cannot see the situation clearly will not have a good ending. Do you think the prince can come back?"
"Of course." Luo Mingchuan sneered and stood up and left.
......
Border.
There were several clashes between the Great Chu Army and the Golden Scale Army.
These times she clearly felt that there seemed to be someone directing the Golden Scale Army from behind.
Although she had thought it through, there were still some loopholes.
She began to suspect that there might be a traitor within Da Chu.
On the other side, Chu Yue, sitting in the tent, heard that Chu Li had not gained any advantage in the battles with the Golden Scale Army in recent times.
The corners of her lips rose, and she looked at Qian Cheng, "Military Advisor, it looks like Chu Li will die without me having to do anything."
Qian Cheng's eyes were full of calculations, "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, just wait quietly."
Chu Yue was basking in the sun comfortably, thinking to herself: It would be nice to reap the benefits while being a good fisherman.
Qiancheng's eyes were dark, his goal was about to be achieved.
Finally I can avenge myself.
Emperor Qingyuan did not stay on the throne for long.
He was happy to see Emperor Qingyuan's children killing each other, and he was the one who really reaped the benefits.
......
The Golden Scale Army camp.
Qian Meng received a letter via carrier pigeon.
The corners of his lips curled up. Haha, Chu Li probably doesn't know that there is a traitor in the Chu army.
He looked at the young general who had won many victories recently.
"Your name is Heiyun, right? Come here!"
Mo Yun, who used the alias Heiyun, came to Qian Meng.
Qian Meng patted Mo Yun's shoulder with his big hand and said, "You are a good young man. You have just joined the army and have made military achievements."
"Thank you, General." Mo Yun was not very happy. He joined the Golden Scale Army because he wanted to climb up with his own abilities.
When he gets his father's attention and is able to make decisions, he will persuade his father not to go to war.
Ling Xiyan's words have been echoing in his ears these days.
"It would be great if the world was peaceful and there were no wars."
"What's wrong with being an illegitimate child? A hero doesn't ask where he came from. All the roads he came from are the journey of conquest. Are kings, princes, generals, or ministers of different races?"
"If there really is such a person in the future, if he is a person who can achieve great things, I hope he has a kind heart. Even if he cannot achieve great things, he can still stand tall and have a clear conscience!"
He used to be in a daze, but now Miss Ling’s dream is his lifelong wish.
The two were talking, and Qin Wei was watching them in the tent.
He always felt that this man named Heiyun looked a bit like an old friend.
