Chapter 139 The Rebirth of the Male Protagonist's Cannon Fodder Son 10
Less than two years after he ascended the throne, he first demoted his wife to a concubine, and then lost several cities in the war with Western Liang and never recovered them.
Now such a morally corrupt thing has happened again, forcing the already imprisoned King Shen to commit suicide as a warning.
The voices of public discussion could not reach the ears of the emperor, but the memorials from the censors were continuous.
His throne was not stable to begin with, and these things made his prestige as an emperor even more shaky.
As a last resort, Yun Fang could only issue an edict of repentance.
And on the second day after Yun Fang announced his edict of repentance to the world, news came from the border that Xiliang was launching a massive invasion.
It was because Princess Helian Fu of Xiliang rode back to Xiliang on horseback. When the King of Xiliang learned that his daughter had been bullied, he was so furious that he swore in front of all the soldiers that he would make Dayu pay the price.
After some thought, Yun Fang decided to lead the army in person.
Dayu had already lost several cities and hundreds of miles of land before. If he did not make up his mind to go all out this time, he might not be able to hold on to his position as emperor.
After the imperial edict was issued, Yun Fang ordered the Ministry of War to deploy soldiers stationed in farmlands near the border, and the Ministry of Revenue to cooperate with the Ministry of War to transport food and fodder and prepare for all supply issues in the rear.
Although the court officials had some complaints about Emperor Yun Fang, at this critical moment facing foreign enemies, all the officials were united.
If Dayu was really defeated by Xiliang, then these people would not have a good life.
Fu Tang knew nothing about fighting a war, but he thought it was dangerous to lead the army in person.
She suppressed her nausea and put on an act in front of Yun Fang, but she was unable to get rid of Mu Wenyao and her two sons.
Yun Fang is now busy with the expedition and has no time to care about the affairs of the harem. This is a good opportunity to take action against them.
"Chun Yi, take my token and go out of the palace to find your father. Bring the medicine that I asked him to find for you. Remember not to let anyone else know about this."
Fu Tang gave the order, and Chun Yi took the token and responded.
The two of them didn't notice that the little man squatting at the foot of the wall making snowballs heard their conversation clearly.
What medicine did the Queen Mother ask Grandfather to find?
Is anyone sick and needs medicine?
-
"The emperor is going to conquer it personally?"
Inside the border camp, Mu Lang couldn't help but sneer as he watched the latest news coming in at full speed.
Others don’t know, but he had participated in hunting with the late emperor before, and he knew Yun Fang’s riding and archery skills best.
It is true that fighting on the battlefield requires not only superb martial arts skills, but also shrewd strategies. Good strategies can indeed make up for the lack of martial arts skills.
But Yun Fang had never worked in the Ministry of War when he was a prince, and he had no knowledge of military affairs. Where did he get the courage to lead the army in person?
"Whether we leave the palace or arrive at the border, everything will be under the control of my uncle." Yun Yi said with a smile.
The fact that Yun Fang was able to lead the army in person showed that he had run out of other tricks.
However, Yun Fang demoted Mu Wen Yao from his main wife to a concubine. He knew that Mu Lang would definitely bear a grudge against him, so he would make full preparations before coming to the border.
"Of course. I have been on this border for many years. Does he want to fight with me when he just arrived?" Mu Lang was still very confident in the soldiers he trained.
"There will also be news from the south after he leads his troops out of the capital. King Shen's former subordinates have already started to take action and have raised an army in the name of overthrowing the tyrant." Yun Yi said.
Mu Lang nodded. Prince Shen's daughter-in-law was bullied by Yun Fang, and Prince Shen committed suicide to protest his injustice. It was obvious that those old subordinates were not appeased by a letter of apology.
-
Xiliang also soon received the news that Yun Fang was going to lead the army in person, but just before he reached the border, Yun Yi led his soldiers and captured several cities in Dayu like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
Mu Lang led his troops to retreat repeatedly, without any ability to fight back, and of course they were only concerned with escaping. Although they were defeated, there were no casualties.
The King of Xiliang was overjoyed and his confidence increased instantly.
After the victory, rewards from the King of Xiliang flowed into the military camp one after another, and he even took the initiative to go to the military camp with Helian Ming to hold a celebration banquet.
Yun Yi was invited to the banquet, as well as several deputy generals in the military camp.
"The most capable general of Dayu is Mu Lang. Now he has been defeated by you many times and no longer dares to fight. He is running away like a rat. I guess the Emperor of Dayu is also a rat."
The King of Xiliang raised his glass to celebrate. Helian Ming personally stood up to pour wine for Yun Yi. "Xiliang can have the current fighting power and defeat Dayu. General Feng is really Xiliang's benefactor. I would like to offer a glass to General Feng."
Yun Yi held the wine glass but did not drink it directly.
"Since Your Highness acknowledges my contribution, why do you want to repay kindness with hatred?"
As soon as Yun Yi said this, the whole room was in an uproar.
"Bang... Bang..."
Everyone saw Yun Yi throwing the wine glass in his hand to the ground, and the wine spilled out with fine foam gushing out.
It turned out to be a cup of poisoned wine.
The other lieutenants threw away their wine glasses one after another, and several of them found that their glasses were filled with poison.
"you……"
Helian Ming wanted to step back, but Yun Yi grabbed his wrist and snatched the wine jug from his hand.
"Yin Yang Mother and Child Pot, it is said that when the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked. Now that the battle situation is undecided, why does Your Highness want to take our lives?" Yun Yi had a smile on his lips, but his voice was ice-cold.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince attempted to murder General Feng. Please, Your Majesty, seek justice for General Feng."
"Deputy General Zeng, don't you know that His Majesty and the Crown Prince have a deep bond? How could the Crown Prince do this without His Majesty's permission?"
"Your Majesty, why do you want to take our lives?"
In an instant, the entire tent was crowded with people and the noise was endless.
'Shua...'
Suddenly, a dart shot out from the direction of the tent door and hit Helian Ming directly between his eyebrows.
Helian Ming's eyes were wide open in disbelief, but he didn't have time to say a word before he fell down.
Everyone looked in the direction of the dart and saw a person wearing a white dress and with a charming face, looking like a girl from the south of the Yangtze River.
"Princess?"
But this delicate-looking woman was able to shoot a dart cleanly and neatly, taking her brother's life.
"Fuer, you actually..."
The King of Xiliang was also shocked by this scene.
He didn't expect that his daughter, who had always been weak, would have such advanced martial arts skills like her mother.
"Father, there isn't much love between you and me, so don't call me so affectionately."
Helian Fu walked forward, and in front of everyone's shocked gaze, she struck the Queen of Xiliang on the neck with a knife.
Then the King of Xiliang swayed and fell unconscious on the table in front of him.
"My father and my brother were afraid that General Feng and his lieutenants would become too powerful for the emperor, so they tried to poison them but failed, and were killed by Dayu's secret agents instead."
"Early tomorrow morning, this princess will go up to the city wall and announce this matter to everyone in Xiliang."
After Helian Fu finished speaking, she grabbed the back of King Xiliang's collar, jumped up and disappeared into the tent.
