The daughter of the first wife is a little fierce: the war god prince loves her to the sky

Bai Chuxiao smiled and said, "What a pity, the will has already been handed over."

Lord Kong said helplessly, "It is me who has caused trouble for the prince and princess."

If he hadn't been sent to get it, the princess might not have handed it over to Chu Tianling so easily. Now if he had the will in hand, Chu Tianling's throne wouldn't be so secure.

Fan Ziming smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if there is no will. Now we just need to get ahead of the palace and announce to the world to accuse the palace of its evil deeds. Then we can have a legitimate reason to act."

Chu Tianze said calmly, "You are right, but we still need a person of high moral character and prestige."

Fan Ziming bowed and said, "I think that since Lord Kong is the Minister of Rites, it would be most appropriate for Lord Kong to write this."

Chu Tianze smiled faintly and said, "Yes, Master Kong, what do you think?"

Lord Kong just felt something was strange, as if he had been tricked. Could it be that these people were waiting for him here? ...

Murong Cheng also laughed and said, "We are all some rough martial artists. If Lord Kong writes, it will convince the people of the world."

Lord Kong was speechless. Well, no wonder he was asked to stay just now. It turned out that he was really going to do something. However, he was already on the pirate ship. "I am willing to give it a try, but will this anger the person in the palace? The whole Kong family..."

Fan Ziming smiled and said, "Once this is announced, the Kong family will be safer. Lord Kong, just rest assured."

Bai Chuxiao also smiled and said, "The news of the hostages will be reported to the palace within three days. Even if Chu Tianling is not doing this for his reputation, he must at least consider the lives of his two beloved generals." After all, killing the Kong family of the Ministry of Rites would not bring any benefit except venting his anger.

Lord Kong was a little puzzled. "Can news travel so quickly from the northwest to the imperial city?"

Murong Xuan smiled slightly, "Father-in-law, how could we not be prepared when we knew you were coming? The current situation cannot afford to delay for even a day."

Lord Kong sighed slightly, "Good boy!"

Sure enough, they were tricked. These people were sitting quietly in the northwest, clearly waiting for them to take the bait.

Murong Yuan suddenly said, "The eldest princess..."

Only a few people in the Murong family knew Chu Tianze's life story. Before Chu Tianze made it public, they would not talk nonsense. When he said this, everyone looked over in confusion.

Bai Chuxiao smiled faintly and said, "Before I left Beijing, I sent a message to the eldest princess, asking her to take the opportunity to visit her old friends in Jiangnan. Lin Huaihui will take people to send the princess back to Yongzhou."

If they took the princess with them, it would be a bit of a cover-up. It would be safer to let the princess go to the south, which is opposite to them.

She had been nice to her brothers before, but she treated Chu Tianze differently in private. Chu Tianling would not care too much about her being just a princess...

Chu Tianze said softly, "Xiaoxiao has considered everything."

Yu Fengyang finally couldn't help asking, "What does this have to do with the eldest princess? Even if the people in the palace are crazy, they won't take it out on the princess, right?"

Chu Tianze ignored him and said calmly, "Okay, Shen Tao is already attacking Yuzhou. Before the imperial court and Xiyue react, we must capture Shuozhou as soon as possible and encircle Jizhou with Shen Tao. We must capture the four western states before the end of the year, otherwise we will be attacked from both sides."

Murong Yuan said in a deep voice, "Yes, but before we capture Shuozhou, Your Majesty needs to stay here for a while."

Chu Tianze said without any hesitation, "Murong Che, Murong Xuan, Murong Shuo, and Yu Fengyang, the four of you will set out immediately to assist Song Fei. As for the king, the marquis, and the general, stay behind to prevent Xiyue from noticing anything."

"Yes," several people stepped out and responded seriously.

Outside the big tent, Chu Tianze looked into the distance and said in a deep voice, "If we retreat, Xiyue will enter the pass."

Bai Chuxiao said calmly, "Whether we retreat or not, the result will be the same. How can Pang Kun and Zhang Tuo, who has never been on the battlefield, deal with the King of Huainan?"

Fan Ziming, who was following behind, said slowly, "There is no construction without destruction. To resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the country. The people of Xiyue have already returned to China. Only Daxia and Beiyan are still fighting among themselves. If we wait for Beiyan to take control of the government first, Daxia will probably be cannibalized by the two countries."

Chu Tianze said calmly, "You can see far ahead."

Fan Ziming smiled and said, "Your Highness actually understands it in his heart, otherwise Yongzhou's Black Armor Army would not have attacked Yuzhou so quickly. It's just that Your Highness has been guarding the border with all his heart over the years, and there is always a hurdle in his heart."

Chu Tianze said calmly, "No need to flatter me."

Fan Ziming smiled and said, "I just want to tell you, Your Majesty, that the world is about to be in chaos, and Your Majesty should not only focus on Daxia."

Bai Chuxiao smiled and said, "Brother Fan is quite ambitious."

Fan Ziming said, "Appropriate ambition is not a bad thing, but of course we still have to overcome the current difficulties."

Chu Tianze suddenly took out a piece of silk from his arms and threw it to him, "I'll leave this to you."

Fan Ziming quickly took it. When he saw the content, his face was a little shocked and complicated. "Your Highness... this..."

Chu Tianze said calmly, "Okay, let's take Kong Linghui to Zhenzhou first."

Fan Ziming said respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty."

In the imperial study of the palace, Chu Tianling looked at the letter in his hand and said angrily, "How can this be possible?"

"Father-in-law, these are the people you nominated. Now they have been arrested by the Seventh Master before they could make any move. Tell me what we should do now."

Zhang Yu lowered his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, the people of the Kong family are insignificant to begin with, just give them their place."

Chu Tianling snorted coldly, "Let the Kong family leave, and there will be no one in the capital who can restrain them."

Zhang Yu said slowly, "The Prince of Yan's move is already an open rebellion. He may not really consider the life and death of the Kong family. He is just considering the face of the Princess of Yan. The Kong family is of no use. The business is more important."

Chu Tianling said again, "Then tell me, father-in-law, what should we do now?"

Zhang Yu said in a deep voice, "The King of Yan and his men are still guarding Yumen Pass, so we should proceed according to the plan and use the Xiyue army and the imperial army outside Zhenzhou to trap the King of Yan together."

Chu Tianling said coldly, "If he doesn't defend Yumen Pass, but breaks out of the northwest and returns to Yongzhou, Yongzhou still has the Xuanjia Army, and he can make a comeback."

Zhang Yu frowned and said, "If this is true, then the reputation of the King of Yan will be ruined. Your Majesty can just issue an imperial decree to punish the rebels openly and honestly."

Chu Tianling looked down at the two people who had remained silent and said, "What do you think, uncle and uncle?"

Chu Wen Zheng smiled and said, "It has come to this point. I think we should send troops to attack Yongzhou directly and cut off the retreat of the King of Yan."

Wei Junyan frowned and said, "This... is an unfounded attack on the vassal king's fiefdom. I'm afraid it will only bring disgrace to your majesty."

No matter what, on the surface, the King of Yan is still guarding the border for the country to stop the Western Yue people. What do the people think of their actions?

Chu Wenzheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Those who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters. What kind of reputation do they need? Besides, do we have a reputation?"

Chu Tianling pondered for a moment, "Let's follow what the father-in-law said. Yongzhou may not be captured in a short time. If we really do this, it will give the King of Yan a reason to rebel for nothing."

Chu Wen Zheng lazily said, "As long as your majesty is happy", anyway, this country is not his, so go ahead and make a fuss, the more fun the fight, the better... it would be even better if everyone died...

Chu Tianling stared at him with a puzzled look. If this uncle did it for power, he readily gave up the throne to him. He was not so keen on political affairs in normal times... What was it for?
