The powerful princess arrives with a space warehouse

In the capital of Western Chu State, there was a tense atmosphere everywhere.

This morning, many rumors spread throughout the capital from somewhere. "Pirates from the East China Sea are invading and are becoming more and more rampant. The pirates have powerful artillery and have killed many people in Western Chu."

"General Rong's soldiers are no match for the pirates and have difficulty resisting them."

"General Su Huoling has not taken action and has not been able to bring reinforcements. The Crown Prince has not cared about the lives of the people on the East Sea coast and only gave General Su a small number of Jingyong troops stationed outside the city. He wanted General Su to lead troops from the city, which delayed the time for reinforcements and caused countless casualties among the people on the East Sea coast."

There was also a rumor in the city that "Prince Jing and his princess were traveling around on their way back from Southern Chu, and they didn't worry about the people of the East Sea at all."

These words were widely circulated in the capital.

At this time, the atmosphere in Prince Jing's Mansion was also very depressed.

Xiao Cui put her hands on her hips and said to the servant who came to tell her this: "Who on earth spread these rumors on the street, slandering our prince and princess in the capital."

"It must have been arranged by Prince Yu and his men. These words are being spread in many restaurants in the city, and among the people on the street as well."

"Do the people really believe it? Why are some people always targeting the prince and princess?" Granny Li and Granny Liu also said indignantly.

"These people are too evil. The people don't even think about who defeated the Southern Chu Kingdom and allowed the people to live in peace." Xing'er stamped her feet.

"Sister Xiao Cui, Sister Xing'er, many people on the street don't believe these rumors. They even started arguing with the people who were talking, saying that they don't believe that Prince Jing is that kind of person, and they don't believe that the Crown Prince doesn't care about the people. The two sides even started arguing on the street."

After hearing this, Xiao Cui thought for a moment and said, "Xing'er, let's go! Let's go find Mei'er and Qiao Daxia and the others. Why don't they stop this in the city?"

"Yes, Xiao Cui, then let's go find Mei'er and the others quickly." Xing'er said.

Xiao Cui and Xing'er hurried out the door, and An Qi followed them to protect them.

in the palace

The atmosphere in the court today was tense and depressing.

The ministers attending the morning court somehow all knew the rumors in the city, and they split into two factions.

One side supports the Crown Prince and Prince Jing. They believe that there is nothing wrong with the Crown Prince's mobilization of troops, and that Prince Jing is not a man without sense of justice. It is impossible for him to be traveling on the road after learning about the war on the East China Sea. He must have encountered something on the way and was delayed.

The other faction strongly accused Crown Prince Chu Chenxiao of delaying the war by mobilizing troops, and also accused Chu Chenjing of being the God of War but ignoring the safety of the country and only caring about his own enjoyment, taking the princess on a tour around the mountains and rivers, and he was not worthy of being called the God of War.

The atmosphere in the hall was getting tenser and tenser. Minister of Rites Xie Zhihong was the first to speak out: "Your Majesty, pirates are becoming more and more rampant nowadays. How come General Su only brought such a small number of people? This is just a drop in the bucket. I heard that this was the Crown Prince who only allocated such a small team to General Su."

"Sir Xie, you are wrong. General Su brought the troops there from Yingzhou." Minister of War Gu Donghao stepped forward and said.

"Master Gu, what you said doesn't sound like what the Minister of War would say. You should know how it can be the same. Yingzhou is so far away. It will take a few more days to go there to mobilize troops. Wouldn't this delay the opportunity to fight?

If General Rong and his men cannot wait for reinforcements to come to their rescue, once our coastal cities are lost and occupied by pirates, it will be very difficult for us to recapture them, and many soldiers will be sacrificed. This is playing with the lives of the soldiers.”

"Thank you, sir. You are exaggerating. It will only take two more days to transfer troops from Yingzhou."

At this time, Xie Zhihong looked at Gu Donghao indignantly and said, "Master Gu, how can you say that? If they fail to rescue us in time, as long as one city is lost, our Western Chu will be passive. During this period, if any country around us attacks our Western Chu and starts a war, we will be attacked from behind, and the consequences will be disastrous."

"Sir Xie, how can you speak so confidently about something that hasn't happened yet? How do you know that the army led by General Su didn't make it to Linhai City? How can you predict that the army led by my uncle will fail and not hold on?" The fourth prince Chu Chenyan stepped forward and questioned Xie Zhihong.

At this time, Lord Jiang, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, jumped forward and said sharply, "Your Majesty, I think what Lord Xie said makes sense. We have not received any war reports on the war in the East China Sea, so it is inevitable to be worried.

"I think that at this critical moment for Western Chu, Prince Jing has not come back yet. I heard that Prince Jing has been away from Southern Chu for quite some time, and now he is traveling with his princess all day. As a war god, his behavior is really disappointing!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Prince Jing's behavior has seriously affected the image and prestige of the court, and the people in the capital are spreading this matter." Another minister also sighed and echoed.

"Father! I asked you to lead the army to support General Rong and eliminate the pirates. If I had gone out to fight, I would have arrived at Linhai City early, but you didn't believe me." Chu Chenyu said with a distressed look on his face.

"Your Majesty, I also think that we should have sent His Royal Highness Prince Yu to lead the troops to the East China Sea. We would not be in such a passive position today."

These ministers spoke more and more confidently, as if the events had already happened.

Emperor Chu Xiong was leaning back on his dragon throne, half-closed his eyes, and silently watched the people jumping around in front of him. He wondered where the rumors in the city came from? How did they spread to all the ministers overnight? He squinted his eyes and looked at Prime Minister Xue who was standing in the front without saying a word.

At this time, the emperor was still thinking evilly, I am giving you a chance now, letting you jump around a little more, and then wait for me to slap you in the face, and then let's see what expressions you guys have.

He said calmly, "My dear ministers, what solutions do you have for this situation now?"

When Crown Prince Chu Chenxiao heard his father's question, he complained in his heart: Father has also become a bad boy. He clearly knew about the battle situation last night and was happy the whole night. Why is he still pretending to be normal now? He is really good at pretending.

The cabinet minister, Lord Jiang, jumped out again and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"Lord Jiang, you say." The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at him. He sighed in his heart, he was really a loyal lackey of Xue Conggui, so old, but he always relied on himself as an old minister to jump out to help Xue Conggui in the court.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, Prince Jing is too proud now. When our Western Chu State is in crisis, he actually disregards the safety of the country. His title of God of War should be revoked."

"My dear ministers, what do you say?"

Just then, outside the hall, a messenger's voice was heard, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Victory! Victory! Victory from the East China Sea! The God of War, Prince Jing, has led his troops to wipe out the pirates."

The eunuch outside the palace also shouted loudly, "Victory report from the East Sea!"

"Xuan" said the emperor in the hall.

"Pass it on," Eunuch Hong beside the emperor shouted.

The messenger quickly ran into the hall, knelt down in front of the emperor in the middle, and raised the battle report in his hand. "Your Majesty, this is the battle report of Prince Jing."

At this time, all the ministers in the hall looked at each other in bewilderment. When did the God of War Prince Jing arrive at the edge of the East China Sea?
