Professional Ethics of a Concubine

In addition, Feng Yuxi and Zhang Zhanfeng will also go along. One is a big blood bag of the army and can play an unexpected role at a critical moment.

He wanted to reappear in Shangjing as a member of the Zhang family and avenge his family. He had been waiting for this day for more than two years.

"Father, I am already twelve years old. I can follow the march. Please take me with you!"

As the army was about to set off, Xie Hongbao still pleaded without giving up.

"This is a forced march, not a sightseeing trip. It will be very tiring. If you get sick from exhaustion..." Xie Wenyuan frowned, but he couldn't scold his obedient son, so he tried to reason with him.

"No! I practice martial arts every day, so I'm in good shape. Besides, there's a divine doctor, so it's okay even if I get sick."

Xie Hongbao said,

"Didn't my father say that he would take me to see the outside world? I don't want to miss such an opportunity!"

"Okay, then you follow me." Xie Wenyuan looked at him, and seeing that his eyes were bright and determined, he also gave in.

"Thank you, father!" Xie Hongbao was overjoyed when he heard this, "I won't let you down!"

"Just don't complain about being tired and don't get sick." Xie Wenyuan didn't have high expectations of him.

"Dad, I want to go too!" Xie Niankang grabbed the corner of Feng Yuxi's clothes, blinking his eyes and begging pitifully.

"Just take me with you. Dad, please be kind and save your child..."

“……”Feng Yuxi.

Did the prince and your aunt beat you or scold you?

"I can take you with me. Does your aunt agree?" Feng Yuxi asked.

"She said if you agree, she has no objection." Xie Niankang said immediately.

"What about the prince?"

"The prince said that as long as you and aunt agree, he has no objection." Xie Niankang said, "So, Dad, the key is you."

Feng Yuxi,...

It turns out that the prince and Ye Qingzhi were playing football, and he was the goalkeeper.

"Then you follow me. You must be obedient and don't run around." Feng Yuxi knew that he was tough and his little thoughts during adolescence, so he agreed.

"Dad, I love you so much!" Xie Niankang immediately hugged Feng Yuxi happily.

Zhang Zhanfeng next to him glanced at him and said coldly,

"You are already an adult, it is inappropriate to be like this."

Xie Niankang glared back at him, "You stick to my dad every day, and I haven't said anything wrong with you! You still have the nerve to control me! Don't you see that you are much older than me!"

Zhang Zhanfeng,...

How can it be the same!

"Why are you glaring at me? I'm here, and you're not allowed to bother my dad." Xie Niankang said.

Feng Yuxi reached out and gently pulled his ear, "If you make trouble again, don't go."

Xie Niankang immediately showed a look of grievance, and looked at his father accusingly, his eyes full of:

If you have a strange man, you don’t love me anymore!

"Princess Baozhu is here." Feng Yuxi didn't watch him acting, but looked to the side and spoke.

Xie Niankang immediately became serious, turned his head and saw Mingyu coming over with Mingyan.

"Brother Kang, I heard from my father that the army will move very fast and rarely stop. They will have to fight in every city they arrive at. It will be very dangerous. Do you really have to go with us?"

Mingyu let go of her sister and instead held his arm, her eyes slightly red as she asked with reluctance and worry, wanting him to stay.

I heard from my father that they will be gone for at least three or four months and probably won’t be back until after the New Year.

They will be separated for a long time, and he will miss Brother Kang very much.

"Our gunpowder and cannons are invincible. There will be no danger." Xie Niankang pinched his little face, "I'll bring you some special products from Beijing when I come back."

Mingyu frowned. He also wanted to go, but his father and concubine would not allow it. They strictly forbade it and there was no room for negotiation.

"Have a safe journey." Mingyan smiled at Xie Niankang.

"Thank you, Princess." Xie Niankang bowed to her and thanked her.

Mingyan nodded without saying anything more.

At this time, the horn sounded, and there was no time to delay, and the army had to set off.

Xie Niankang climbed onto his horse, waved to Mingyu and Mingyan, and also waved goodbye to Ye Qingzhi, the prince and others in the distance.

"Brother Kang, please write back when you arrive in Beijing!" Mingyu waved at him and shouted loudly.

"I will!" Xie Niankang waved his hand.

Mingyu watched Xie Niankang disappear on his horse, then looked at the endless army, sighed sadly, then looked at Mingyan and asked,

"Sister, did you have a fight with Brother Kang?"

"No."

"Oh, I thought Brother Kang ran away with the army just to avoid his sister."

"Haha." Ming Yan smiled and tapped him on the forehead. "What are you thinking about? It's nonsense. Let's go."

-

Chu State, Shangjing.

Ever since Xie Wenyuan led the army to set out, the King of Wei no longer liked to attend the morning court. He was always absent-minded. Even when he attended the morning court, he was distracted and did not ask about any state affairs.

Who would handle the country's political affairs? It would still be the team left by Xie Wenyuan, with several cabinet ministers as the pillars, who would discuss national affairs every day.

However, with the departure of Xie Wenyuan and the indifference of King Wei, the other ministers began to get restless and began to suppress the team left behind by Xie Wenyuan and fight for power.

The struggle in the court was very fierce. Whenever the court was in session, there would be endless quarrels, which gave the King of Wei a headache and made him very upset.

Without A Yuan, the emperor would feel so unhappy and upset.

The King of Wei regretted very much that he should not have let his A Yuan go.

At this time, the King of Wei was sitting on the dragon throne, listening to the court officials below arguing over a trivial matter again, and he couldn't help but frowning in annoyance.

Alas, it’s another day of missing A Yuan.

With him around, I can enjoy leisure, taste fine wine, watch singing and dancing, and play with beauties.

"Report!!!"

Following a shout from outside the palace, a eunuch came in breathlessly to report, "Your Majesty, we have important military intelligence to report."

When the King of Wei heard this, he immediately became alert, and finally sat up straight, his eyes shining as he said,

"Send it up!"

It’s A Yuan who has sent news.

This must be the message he sent after arriving in Yancheng. It is probably another good news.

The eunuch who reported the news handed the letter to the eunuch beside the King of Wei, who then gave it to the King of Wei for review.

The King of Wei opened it excitedly, but after reading it, he flew into a rage, his face flushed and his neck thick, and he roared,

"How ridiculous! How dare you slander my A Yuan? Mr. Xie is the former crown prince of Zhao! Who on earth wrote such an outrageous thing?!"

The court officials below were suddenly shocked.

The team members left behind by Xie Wenyuan felt a chill on their necks when they heard this. Like the King of Wei, they were unwilling to believe anything he said!

"Yes, it's ridiculous!"

"No way!"

"There was a message before saying that Xiong Dayong rebelled and Yancheng was occupied by the Great Zhao. There has been no news since then. Where are the people sent to investigate? Have they replied?!"

"It takes half a month to get to Yancheng by horseback, how could the news arrive so quickly?"

"Since such news can be revealed, it is definitely not groundless! If this news is true...Oh my God, our Chu army will be completely destroyed by the hands of the Great Zhao!"

"No, it's impossible! How could Mr. Xie be the former crown prince of Zhao? The former crown prince of Zhao is already dead!"

"If Mr. Xie is the former crown prince of Zhao, his goal should be to use our army to overthrow the current crown prince of Zhao, so don't panic!"

I don't know who shouted this loudly, everyone nodded, and many people praised,

"That makes sense! That makes sense! That should be the case!"

"Although Mr. Xie is too bold, causing internal strife in Zhao is also beneficial to our Chu State!"

"What the hell are you talking about! Is there shit in your brains? The Chu army is in his hands. What if he kills the crown prince of Zhao and then turns around to destroy Chu?!"

…………

The court officials were so shocked by this thunder that they were at a loss. They made all kinds of guesses and kept making noises.

I don't know how long the quarrel lasted, but I heard an urgent cry:

"Ouch! His Majesty has fainted! Someone come quickly! Call the imperial physician!"

The court officials stopped arguing and watched the eunuchs frantically carrying the King of Wei away, all with grim expressions on their faces.

After the King of Wei was carried away, the court officials did not leave. Everyone looked at each other, and everyone's eyes were filled with fear.

"Is the State of Chu going to perish?" Someone whispered this, and it was like a drop of water falling into boiling oil.

There was a crackling sound and the place suddenly became chaotic.

Everyone started arguing again, but because there was no leader and each faction was so different, there was no conclusion at all.

In the end they broke up on bad terms.

However, after they dispersed, no one was idle and everyone started running around, some wanting to find out the truth first.

Some went directly to the next step, believing that after Xie Wenyuan defeated the Crown Prince of Zhao, he would come to destroy the State of Chu, so they tried to find ways to unite and save themselves.

There is another type of people who simply ask their family members to pack up their belongings and prepare to run away overnight!

The first words of the King of Wei who woke up at this time were: "I don't believe that A Yuan would lie to me. He won't lie to me!"

The eunuch who served the King of Wei was also a die-hard fan of Xie Wenyuan. He immediately agreed after hearing what he said.

"Your Majesty is right! I absolutely do not believe that Mr. Xie would betray Your Majesty. Mr. Xie's loyalty to Your Majesty is evident to all!"

The eunuch also gave various examples of how Xie Wenyuan had treated King Wei in the past. King Wei nodded repeatedly after hearing them, and felt a lot more relieved.

Yes, yes, yes, A Yuan will never betray him!

The King of Wei felt that he was fine again and was no longer in agony.

From that day on, he no longer attended the morning court, no longer listened to the ministers' requests, and completely gave up. He shut himself in and numbed himself with wine.

Because whenever he went to court and met the ministers, he would hear them telling him that Xie Wenyuan was coming to destroy the State of Chu and to kill him.

The King of Wei couldn't bear to hear this the most!

These ministers could not bear to see him doing well and wanted him dead. His A Yuan had promised to unify the world for him.

If A Yuan really brought his army to attack Shangjing and wanted to take over the State of Chu, he thought about it and decided that he could actually give him half of the throne. He didn't like dealing with government affairs anyway, so it was fine for A Yuan to come.

When the King of Wei thought about it, he felt that he was really smart. He didn't waste a single soldier and ended the war.

So, he summoned the team left by Xie Wenyuan and asked them if it was possible to do so.

Team members,...

Oh my, there is such a surprise!

If Mr. Xie ascends the throne, not only will they not have to die, they will probably be promoted and given titles, because they are Mr. Xie's men to begin with!

Your Majesty is so talented!

It's really amazing that he can have such a broad mind and such wisdom.

Several people had tears in their eyes, and surrounded the King of Wei, praising him with all kinds of words in an exaggerated tone. Their emotions were so full that they were about to overflow.

The King of Wei was flattered and felt that he was very great for coming up with such a brilliant idea.
