I rely on gossip to save the country

Emperor Mingde: The fourth child is too troublesome. He is a hopeless case, so he simply won't help him. But now is the time to discipline him.

Civil and Military Officials: The Fourth Prince is simply the most powerful among the playboys, and is on par with the little witch Xie Chuyue.

The morning court was as boring as usual. Xie Chuyue was woken up by the birds and was now drowsy.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne and listened quietly to the civil and military officials reporting on various matters, from trivial matters to matters that could threaten the country's demise.

Emperor Mingde gradually became a little annoyed. These people became more and more nagging as they got older.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report." Just as he was becoming impatient, an old voice came.

Xie Chuyue looked in the direction of the voice and saw the man in a purple robe, with neatly combed hair and clean beard. Although he was nearly sixty years old, he looked like a middle-aged man.

The emperor raised his eyes and glanced at him: "What's the matter, Master?"

"I have received news that the State of Dongguan has launched an attack on our army at the border between our two countries, and we have suffered heavy losses..." After the Grand Tutor finished speaking, he knelt down respectfully and waited for Emperor Mingde to speak.

System: [Host, host, this battle must be fought, otherwise they will think you are easy to bully and will provoke you again and again.]

Xie Chuyue: [I know, Dongguan’s intention is too obvious. They are clearly testing our strength and deliberately provoking us. If we don’t take action this time, they will directly attack the city and seize the land.]

Emperor Mingde: So that's how it is. The Dongguan Kingdom is so great that it actually has this kind of idea.

Civil and military officials: We must fight. Who are we looking down on? The four countries are in a three-way confrontation. No one is inferior to the other. They have provoked us to our doorstep. If we don't take action and become a coward, they will destroy our country sooner or later.

Emperor Mingde pondered for a while, then slowly said, "My dear ministers, do you have any plans?"

The general, who was a first-rank general, said without hesitation: "I think this is a deliberate provocation by the Dongguan Kingdom! It is to test whether our country has the strength. I beg the emperor to send troops."

Xie Chuyue also stepped out, her face flushed with anger, "We must beat them. We must beat them until they are scared to death and their parents don't recognize them. Let them know that our Nanyue Kingdom is not to be trifled with."

The crown prince also stepped out and came to Xie Chuyue's side. He clasped his fists and saluted the emperor, "I second your proposal. I beg you to send troops to attack."

All the civil and military officials knelt on the ground, "We second this motion!"

The mighty general, the young general was full of youth and vigor, how could he tolerate such a provocation? He stood up and said indignantly, "Your Majesty, I beg you to go and fight."

Emperor Mingde also knew that this mighty general was truly capable, and he was completely confident in handing this matter over to him, so he nodded, "I approve."

At this time, the usually calm Prince Chen was obviously panicked and could not stand still. "Brother, I want to supervise. I beg for your permission."

"No, the battlefield is extremely dangerous. What if something goes wrong? What should we do?" Emperor Mingde refused firmly. He didn't want to lose his only brother.

Xie Chuyue: [Oh my, you can’t leave now? You really can’t leave for even a moment! ]

Civil and Military Officials: What are you inseparable from? What is this? What is this?

Emperor Mingde: This little girl is talking nonsense again?

Prince: Little sister, are you trying to drive me crazy? Why do you keep saying half of what you mean?

Hearing this, the mighty general's face, neck and ears turned red. How could a little girl talk about these things so without any taboo?

Prince Chen: It is my little niece who understands me. She feels like a long time since we last met. Going to the war will take more than just one day. How can he bear it?

Prince Chen was panicking inside, but his face remained calm and composed, "Royal brother, do you not believe in my ability? Royal brother, you know that you can't lock me up, and neither can the capital."

When Prince Chen said this, it seemed as if he was threatening, but also as if he was stating a fact.

Emperor Mingde held his forehead with his hand. He thought about what sins he had committed in his previous life. He had to deal with some bad ancestors in this life. If his younger brother didn't listen to him, he really couldn't control him.

Xie Chuyue showed a perverted smile: [Yes, yes, I can't lock you up. You two have a deep love for each other. A short separation is better than a new marriage. I understand, I understand. After all, the mighty general is going to the border, you must want to die. My uncle will definitely follow him eagerly. Otherwise, he will feel empty, lonely and cold! ]

Civil and military officials: They seem to have heard something incredible: General Wu and Prince Chen are having an affair.

The emperor's expression fell. It turned out that his own brother was a homosexual.

The prince also looked at his uncle in astonishment. He never expected that his uncle, the Prince of Chen, would be such an uncle!

Before everyone had recovered from the shock, they heard another piece of news that shattered Xie Chuyue's worldview.

Xie Chuyue: [It's fine if they go together. If you two leave, the concubine and the general's wife can live their own lives in harmony.]

Civil and Military Officials: What? !!! What!!! The Concubine and the General’s Wife actually did that!!!

No, they have to be allowed to digest it slowly. The news is too explosive and they cannot digest it all at once.

The emperor was already stunned, not knowing what to say. His younger brother was short-sleeved and liked the mighty general, and his younger brother's concubine actually liked the mighty general's wife.

According to Xiao Yue'er, they all already live together. Together! Together! Already! Already! Already! Already!

The prince: The adult world is too complicated. He suddenly doesn’t want to be an adult anymore. This uncle and his family play too much.

Prince Chen didn't react. Even if everyone knew about it, it didn't matter. He didn't hide it. Love should be open and aboveboard, not sneaky.

The mighty general's wheat-colored face turned extremely red at this moment, and he felt extremely embarrassed.

Seeing that the emperor didn't say anything, Prince Chen thought that his brother disagreed, so he called out coldly, "Brother!"

The emperor suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes complicated, and finally nodded in agreement, "I agree, come back safely!"

Emperor Mingde then became worried and instructed General Weiwu, "General Weiwu, I will leave the Prince of Chen to you. If anything happens to the Prince of Chen, I will chop off your head."

The mighty general swore solemnly, "Yes, I will definitely ensure that His Royal Highness Prince Chen returns safely!"

Emperor: ………What do you mean by “protecting His Royal Highness Prince Chen’s safe return”?

"Both of you must return safely, no one can be missing!"

It's such a difficult life for him as the emperor's elder brother. If this mighty general doesn't come back, his younger brother will hate him for the rest of his life. He would not have agreed to let the mighty general go if he had known this. But now, Jun Wu Xiyan can't take him back!

At this time, the system became curious and asked Xie Chuyue: [General Weiwu and His Royal Highness Prince Chen are gay, while the concubine and the general's wife are lesbians, so where did their children come from? ]

Xie Chuyue: [Whose child are you talking about? The daughter of the mighty general, or the daughter of the emperor's uncle? ]

System: [All! ]

Xie Chuyue: [The five-year-old girl from General Weiwu's family was adopted by them, and the emperor's uncle's daughter was born to him and his deceased princess.]

Civil and Military Officials: So that's how it is. That's what they said, they always felt there was something wrong but couldn't put their finger on it. It turns out there's something wrong with the child.

The emperor finally put his mind at ease. He thought that his brother's two children were also adopted. It's good that they were not adopted. It's good that they were not adopted!

The Crown Prince: The little princess’ words are full of loopholes. Since the princess’ uncle is gay, how could he and the princess have a child?

System: [Host, doesn't your uncle like mighty generals? Why is there a princess and a child? ]

Xie Chuyue: [My uncle was very young when he married the princess, and he didn’t even know the mighty general at that time, so he got married.]

Civil and military officials, Emperor Mingde, and the Crown Prince: So that's how it is, clearly understood!
