Abandoned Prince: Summon the Sword God at the beginning
Chapter 52: Foreign enemies invade Daxia, and the King of Xiliang mediates between the two sides
At this time, Yun Ni came. She was now regarded as the mistress of the mansion by the servants, and everyone was very respectful to her.
Yun Ni said, "Your Highness is right. He is the prince Li Jiao. Two years ago, he was the crown prince. Later, he was framed by Concubine Cao and was deposed by His Majesty. He was driven out of the East Palace and invited by his uncle, the Prince of Zhennan, to stay in the East Capital. He just returned to the capital recently."
A servant immediately responded, "Your Majesty's eldest son is indeed named 'Li Jiao', and he was once the crown prince. It seems to be correct."
However, some servants were skeptical. They felt that even if the prince had fallen on hard times, he was still a high and mighty prince. How could he be outside the imperial city?
Li Jiao observed the servants' expressions and saw that some of them had quit. He would not try to persuade them to stay and said, "Now, I have told you my identity. Believe it or not, if you quit now, I will give you a severance pay.
Those who stay behind are my lifelong good brothers. Following me may put you at risk, and your life may be in danger, but I will never treat you and your family unfairly. If you stay with me till the end, I will promise your family eternal prosperity. Start making your choice now!"
Li Jiao said to Yun Ni, "You take note. Those who want to leave will receive five taels of silver, and those who stay will receive twenty taels of silver per month. From now on, you will be my personal soldiers."
In the end, six of the ten servants stayed. As for those who quit halfway, Li Jiao asked Yun Ni to give each of them five taels of silver, but asked Yun Ni to register their names and prepare the words "never employ them again" at the back.
Today, Li Jiao, with the blessing of the system, has no shortage of famous generals or soldiers. Just now, his choice has earned him 10,000 'Guaning Iron Cavalry' given by the system, which he can call upon at any time.
Li Jiao thought to himself, "I have soldiers and generals now, but I lack a righteous cause. Why not go to the palace at night and ask the old emperor for it? He should be worried about the rebellion of the King of Chu! He may be angry with the commander of the Jinyiwei."
At night, Li Jiao, wearing night clothes, climbed over eaves and walls, and soon broke into the imperial palace. He was familiar with the palace.
This time, he did not go directly to the palace library, but went straight to the emperor's bedroom.
At this time, the Emperor of Daxia was still reviewing memorials to the emperor. The King of Chu was rebelling, and emergency documents from all over the country were flying into the Forbidden City like snowflakes.
The imperial army failed to resist effectively, while the people of the aristocratic families chose to sit on the sidelines and watch the fight, working without putting in any effort, just to cope with the imperial court's errands.
Emperor Weilie of Daxia cursed as he read the memorial: "This group of mediocre officials have misled me! Am I really going to be left alone?"
Li Jiao suddenly appeared beside the emperor and said, "Father, people often say: 'Brothers fight together, and fathers and sons fight together'. Have you forgotten your son?"
Emperor Weilie turned around and saw Li Jiao looking at him with a joking expression. Emperor Weilie said sternly, "You rebellious son, how did you get into the palace without being summoned?"
Li Jiao said: "Father, you are also a cultivator, don't you know 'flying over the eaves and walking on the walls'?"
Emperor Weilie laughed in anger and said, "Now that you have become successful, you dare to talk back to your father?"
Li Jiao said: "I dare not. I am risking my life to come here to help my father."
Emperor Weilie said in confusion: "Don't you hate me? I abolished your position as crown prince and made you homeless."
Li Jiao said: "No matter how wrong my father is, he is still my father. I will not bear a grudge against him. Moreover, the Great Xia is about to fall. As a descendant of Taizu, I cannot sit idly by. I also own half of this country."
Emperor Weilie said: "You are finally willing to tell the truth. Have you always coveted my kingdom?"
Li Jiao said: "Your Majesty is wrong. As long as my father is still in power, I will support him. How can I covet him?"
