Nirvana Phoenix Song

Chapter 19: Aftermath of the Storm

In the early morning of the Imperial City, the air was still filled with the warmth of last night's battle. The Anti-Phoenix Alliance was completely disintegrated, the fire in the warehouse had not yet been completely extinguished, and Feng Tangyue's name had already resounded throughout the Phoenix Kingdom. Countless people were talking about how the young Third Princess suppressed the counterattack of the old forces with her own strength, calling her the protector of the Phoenix Kingdom. However, under this calm appearance, the aftermath of the storm was still surging in secret.

Feng Tangyue stood in the courtyard of the cold palace, holding a roll of secret reports in her hand. Although she was temporarily relieved by last night's victory, she knew in her heart that the fall of the Anti-Phoenix Alliance was not the end. The remnants of the old forces were still lurking, waiting for an opportunity to act.

Xiao Shi came hurriedly, his face full of solemnity, "Your Highness, there is new information. Although the Anti-Phoenix Alliance has been wiped out, it seems that a force is gathering on the eastern border, attempting to take advantage of the unstable reform of the court to launch a rebellion."

Feng Tangyue frowned slightly, her eyes calm as water. She knew that the deeper the court's reforms, the more opposition there would be, especially from local forces far away from the imperial city, who had deep distrust and hostility towards the new policies. Now that these forces were beginning to gather, they had obviously seen the opportunity and were trying to take advantage of it to rebel.

"Rebellion... these people are so stupid." Feng Tangyue sneered, with a flash of determination in her eyes, "Tell the Supervisory Office to immediately send people to the eastern border to investigate the movements of those forces. In addition, mobilize the troops stationed in the east to prepare for possible military actions."

Xiao Shi nodded, and admired Feng Tangyue's decisiveness and foresight even more. "Yes, Your Highness. I will arrange it right away."

Feng Tangyue watched Xiaoshi leave with a lot of thoughts in her mind. She knew that Fengguo's reform had touched the bottom line of the old nobles, and this power game was no longer limited to the competition within the court. What she faced was not only political opposition, but also a life-and-death war.

"The road to reform is never smooth, but I will never take a step back." Feng Tangyue whispered to herself, looking at the sky in the distance, with a firm light in her eyes. She knew that what was waiting for her next would be a greater challenge, but her determination had long been unshakable.

A few days later, the situation on the eastern border became increasingly tense. The rebels continued to grow, and even some local officials began to defect and join the rebels. After Feng Tangyue received the news, he immediately ordered the eastern army to assemble and prepare to suppress the rebellion at any time.

At the same time, the atmosphere within the court became increasingly tense. Although most officials supported Feng Tangyue's reforms, some officials were afraid of the power of the rebels and believed that reconciliation should be pursued rather than suppressing them with force.

"Your Highness, the rebel forces in the east are expanding rapidly. If we continue to take tough measures, I am afraid it will trigger a larger-scale rebellion." An old minister said in a heavy tone at the court meeting, "I suggest that perhaps we should send envoys to try to negotiate with the rebels to see if there is a possibility of a peaceful solution."

Feng Tangyue's eyes were as sharp as a sword as she stared at the old minister. She knew very well that the essence of the rebels was their greed for the old power and their desire to regain control of Feng State. They would not give up their ambitions because of the negotiations, but would instead regard it as a sign of weakness.

"You are wrong. The rebels will not accept any reconciliation, because their goal is not peace, but to regain their lost power through chaos." Feng Tangyue said firmly. She stood up and looked around at the people in the court. "The road to reform is destined to be full of thorns and obstacles, but if we retreat at this moment, the expectations of countless people will be completely destroyed."

"I am determined not to compromise with the rebels." Her voice was sonorous and powerful, echoing throughout the court. "We will send troops to the eastern border to quell the rebellion. At the same time, I will personally go out and confront these old forces face to face."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the court. Feng Tangyue went to the battle personally? What determination and courage! Many ministers were surprised, but more were full of admiration and support. They knew that Feng Tangyue had never been a monarch who sat in the rear, she always rushed to the front line and proved her determination with her actions.

The old minister sighed helplessly, lowered his head and took a step back, "Your Highness is so resolute, I have nothing to say. I hope your decision can bring true peace to Feng Country."

Feng Tangyue looked at the complicated expressions in the court, but her heart was very firm. She knew that only by taking practical actions to crush these old forces could she truly open up a bright future for Feng Country.

A few days later, Feng Tangyue led an elite army to the eastern border. Her arrival shocked the rebels who were ready to make a move, and made them realize that the opponent in this war was not an opponent that could be underestimated, but a true commander.

In the tent before the battle, Feng Tangyue was discussing the battle plan with several generals. She pointed to several key points on the map and said calmly and decisively, "The rebels are scattered and lack a unified command. We can attack at night, first concentrate our forces to capture their main camp, and then defeat other strongholds one by one."

A general nodded and praised: "Your Highness is wise. Although the rebels are powerful, they lack real tactics. If we catch them off guard, we will surely win a great victory!"

Feng Tangyue smiled slightly, then turned to Xiaoshi, "Xiaoshi, lead a small team of elite soldiers to sneak into the rebels' main camp and spy on their movements. Be sure to grasp their battle plan before they send out their troops."

Xiao Shi nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely complete the task."

As night fell, Feng Tangyue stood on the hill, overlooking the rebel camp below. Her figure appeared extremely tough in the night, and the Nirvana Fire in her hand flickered slightly, as if foreshadowing the upcoming victory.

"Bring clarity to chaos, rather than chaos to clarity." Feng Tangyue murmured to herself in a low voice, her eyes burning like flames.

This battle is not only to quell the rebellion, but also to defend the reforms and beliefs she insists on. She wants to use her power to completely tear apart the darkness and let the light of Fengguo never go out.
