After traveling through time, I married a male princess

For a moment, the entire court was in panic. Some regretted currying favor with the Minister of War, while others were glad that they did not board the Minister of War's ship.

It was finally found out that five officials had secretly helped the Minister of War, and twelve officials had helped him unintentionally.

All five were dismissed from office and sent back to their registered places of residence. The other twelve were demoted two levels and fined one year's salary.

A new batch of eunuchs were also replaced in the palace.

Regardless of whether they were followers of Eunuch De or not, they were all dismissed.

Although there was a major personnel change this time, most people managed to save their lives, and only a small number of people were imprisoned. Whether they would be executed or not depended on Ye Xingche's mood.

After several days of treatment, Ye Beiting was almost recovered.

He even started to study with Xiaopang and Ye Xiuran.

Xiaopang has been staying in the palace these days and has become familiar with Ye Xiuran.

"Today we are going to learn the Three Character Classic. Come, repeat after me, 'When a person is born, his nature is good.'"

Ye Beiting sat opposite Xiaopang and Ye Xiuran.

"Grandpa Wang, I want to listen to a fight!" Little Fatty, who is more lively, asked proactively.

"Do you still want to listen to a fight? Do you, Xiuran, want to listen?" After Ye Beiting responded to Xiaopang, he turned to look at the silent Ye Xiuran.

"Brother, tell me what you want to hear!" Little Fatty encouraged Ye Xiuran.

He is only a few days older than Ye Xiuran, so it is very convenient for him to call him brother.

"Yeah." Ye Xiuran nodded slightly after hearing this, "I want to listen."

Ever since the Queen was buried, there seemed to be no light in Ye Xiuran's eyes.

On the night after returning from the burial, he cried and shouted for his mother when he was sleeping. No one could comfort him, and finally Ye Xingche was alarmed.

"You don't have a mother anymore!" Ye Xingche coaxed him for a long time, but he still didn't stop, so he couldn't help but yell at him.

And I don’t have a wife anymore.

Ye Xingche collapsed and leaned on the bed, covering his face.

Seeing this, Ye Xiuran suddenly became quiet, then lay down obediently, and fell asleep silently beside Ye Xingche.

This night was the first time that the father and son slept on the same bed, and perhaps also the last time.

From that day on, Ye Xiuran became silent and no longer looked for his mother, as if he had grown up overnight.

"......" Ye Beiting was at a loss for words, "Okay, then let's continue talking about the fight."

"At this time, the enemy had more manpower, and we began to fall into a disadvantage. The general was also injured due to a conspiracy..."

Ye Beiting talked about his experience on the front line some time ago.

"Grandpa Wang, father went to fight too!" Xiaopang suddenly interrupted Ye Beiting.

"Yes, that's right. Your father also went to fight. He will come back victorious." Ye Beiting responded.

"Yes!" Xiaopang nodded heavily, "I'll go there later!"

"Brother, let's go together!" Xiaopang said and turned to Ye Xiuran.

Ye Xiuran shook his head, "No! I want to follow my father!"

"Okay then." Xiaopang was very disappointed. Usually he had no children to play with. Now he finally found a child, but the child was not willing to play with him. He said he was not very happy.

"Okay, let's talk about this when you grow up, okay? Let's continue telling the story now." Ye Beiting interrupted their conversation.

"Okay." Xiaopang perked up instantly.

Ye Xiuran also pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

The three of them continued telling stories in the imperial garden. The warm sunlight shone on them, casting a layer of light golden glow.

At this time, Ye Yanxing had just arrived at the front line.

While he was on the way, he received news that the whole country was in mourning.

He frowned slightly. What happened in the imperial city?

Why did the queen suddenly disappear?

Fu Qianrun should be in the imperial city by now.

It was not until a few days later that he found out that there had been a coup in the imperial palace and the queen had been assassinated.

Haha, does Ye Jingwen know that he is just a chess piece on Eunuch De’s chessboard?

Now that the person playing chess is dead, it is time for him, the chess piece, to return to its place.

Ye Yanxing arrived at Yunhe City alone. He did not go to the camp to find General Li first, but walked around.

Although there was a war outside the city, the people in the city were still living calmly.

How much trust do they have in General Li to be so nonchalant? !

In fact, Ye Yanxing misunderstood this point. The people in the city were not worried, but they knew that worrying was useless. Even if they escaped, where could they escape to?

When war breaks out, they will be affected wherever they flee to. If they flee to other places, they may not be accepted by the locals, and they will not even have a place to live. Instead of running around like this, it is better to stay where they are. They will just risk their lives.

Anyway, those who wanted to escape had already escaped, and those who were left had nowhere to go.

And the government did not evacuate the people, which means they can still hold on.

Don't be fooled by these people strolling around as if nothing has happened. In fact, they have already packed up their belongings at home, and are just waiting for General Li and his men to give up the defense and fall into the city, so they can pick up their bags and run away.

The worst-case scenario is that the enemy does not attack their civilians. After all, they are all their own people. They just need to fight for power without harming the civilians.

It’s not that ordinary people are optimistic, but that such things happened a long time ago.

The two princes were fighting for the throne, but neither of them killed the common people indiscriminately. They just fought against each other.

So, this is what the citizens are betting on and it will be like this now.

Ye Yanxing went to the military camp at night.

"Who is outside the camp? Put down your weapons!" the soldier on duty shouted, raising his spear.

"Ye Yanxing." Ye Yanxing spoke lightly and took out his token.

The soldier recognized the authenticity of the token at a glance and immediately knelt down, "I pay my respects to His Majesty the King of Yan!"

"Well, where's General Lee?"

"Reporting to King Yan, General Li is currently in the camp discussing strategy with Military Advisor Zhang."

"take me."

"promise!"

The soldier brought Ye Yanxing to a tent and stopped at the door. "General, King Yan is here!"

Ye Yanxing did not stop, but walked straight inside, past the soldiers.

"Your subordinates pay their respects to King Yan!" Seeing Ye Yanxing coming in, General Li and Military Advisor Zhang hurried over to pay their respects.

"Get up." Ye Yan walked to the sand table, "What is the current battle situation?"

"Reporting to the prince, the rebels are stationed three miles outside the city, and there have been no signs of attacking the city in the past two days." General Li replied.

"Three miles? How many troops does the other side have? How many do we have?"

"The other side has reinforcements from the Northern Desert, estimated at 300,000 troops, while we only have less than 100,000 left."

General Li was a little lacking in confidence. Since Ye Beiting's retreat, they had fought two major battles during this period. Although they had defended the city, they suffered heavy casualties.

"So few?" Ye Yanxing frowned. He originally said to attack directly.

"Your Highness, yes." General Li lowered his head. He had never expected that after fighting for a lifetime, he would face such a passive day.

"Tell me about the terrain around here."

"Yes!" General Li began to introduce the nearby terrain and analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of his own and the enemy's locations.

After listening to this, Ye Yanxing hesitated for a moment before speaking, "If the other side does not make any moves in the next two days, we should keep our troops in place and wait for Jiang Zekai and his men to arrive. It will probably take two days."

"promise!"

Ye Yanxing could have just gone over and killed Xiao Zhe and Ye Jingwen, but they were outnumbered, and if they took the opportunity to attack the city, they would not be able to resist with General Li's limited manpower.

For the sake of the safety of the citizens, Ye Yanxing could only stay here. In case they attacked, he could still protect the safety of the citizens.

We've waited for so long, two more days won't make a difference.

So Ye Yanxing did not take any action for the time being, and waited for Jiang Zekai to arrive in the city. Even if he went out for a walk occasionally, he would not go far.
