Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1594

Xiao Zhi coveted the throne in his early years because he found out that the tragic death of his mother, Concubine Zhen, was the work of Empress Dowager Jiqing.

He wants revenge.

Now that his great revenge has been achieved, he is no longer obsessed with the throne.

My father is still young, so it is no problem for him to remain on the throne for decades.

He is willing to charge into battle to defend his country. If he dies, there is still his ninth brother behind him.

My ninth brother is kind-hearted and will surely be a good emperor. Thinking of this, Xiao Zhi stepped forward and said solemnly: "Father, I am willing to lead the troops to fight to fulfill my filial duty and repay the country's kindness!"

He is the crown prince. Even if he does not lead the army in person, he is the crown prince who goes to war and tour the country on behalf of the emperor, which can also have the effect of boosting people's morale.

Emperor Mingde looked deeply at the prince, his eyes filled with indescribable fatherly tenderness.

This son is great! His eyes are firm and he is full of righteousness.

He is worthy of being the King of the Northern Wing selected by Queen Dowager Hyejeong after spending half her life selecting him.

Emperor Mingde raised his hand and suppressed Xiao Zhi's request for war, and said in a deep voice: "I have made up my mind. I will lead the army in person. There is no need to discuss it further. The Crown Prince will stay in the capital and supervise the country. Only then can I go to the war with peace of mind."

The next day, "Yingjing Weekly" had a few big words on it: The King of Beiyi leads the army in person, vowing to avenge the national humiliation and recover the lost territory!

When the newspaper came out, the whole country was shocked.

The people rushed to circulate the document, and people in the streets and alleys were discussing it. Some were excited, some were worried, but all were shocked by Emperor Mingde's determination.

The people organized themselves to collect food and fodder for the army and to make war uniforms. Children sang war songs in the streets and the elderly burned incense and prayed for the soldiers who were about to go to war.

It is said that the ninety-nine steps of Baoguo Temple were almost crowded with people kowtowing.

General Fu Chuanyi, who advocated peace, summoned all the generals and issued an order: "Our emperor is personally leading the army, which is an honor for our northern wing soldiers! We can only win this battle, not lose! All generals, listen to my order, prepare for battle, and defend our territory to the death!"

All the generals shouted in unison: "We will follow our emperor till death, recover the lost territory, and avenge our country's humiliation!"

When the Emperor of Wan learned that Emperor Mingde was personally leading the army, he was shocked at first, then sneered: "The Emperor of Beiyi is personally leading the army? It's just bluffing! Pass the order down, speed up preparations for war, I will make sure he never returns!"

"Your Majesty, think twice!" Wan's peace faction said, "The Bora royal family is ready to make a move. It is not appropriate to make enemies with the North Wing now."

The pro-war faction of Wan State was furious. "It is not that Wan State wants to be an enemy of Beiyi, but Beiyi is now trying to cross the river and invade our territory! How can we just sit there and do nothing?"

Peace faction: "The North Wing's slogan is to recover lost territory! What they want are a few abandoned cities. Why not return them? Why lose the big for the small and cause more trouble?"

The war faction fanned the flames and denounced them harshly: "Ignorance! Cowardice! Who is so naive to think that the Emperor of Beiyi only has a few deserted cities, so he would mobilize the whole country and lead the army in person! What he wants is not the cities, but our excellent war horses, and even our fertile land for horse breeding!"

Peace faction: "If we return the deserted city, the northern wing will have no reason to mobilize the army. If they commit the same offense again, they will become an unjust army. In the world, those who are righteous will have many supporters, while those who are unrighteous will have few supporters. Whoever has the highest moral standards will be the righteous army. What is there to fear?"

The war faction scorned: "Put away those words of benevolence and righteousness! The way of this world is that the strong are respected and the powerful are kings! Have you forgotten that the Second Prince is now in danger of death! In fact... Your Majesty knows better than us that His Royal Highness the Second Prince has already sacrificed his life for the country. How can you endure such humiliation?"

The peace advocates wept and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, please think twice! The Northern Wing has never crossed our borders. Instead, someone in our country sent spies to disturb the Northern Wing, poisoned the court with Fu Shou Gao, and interfered with the internal affairs of the Northern Wing royal family. Such actions are really asking for trouble! If you insist on provoking again, you may incur the wrath of the Northern Wing and your country will be in danger!"

The Emperor of Wan was furious and said, "This is a spy! Take him away and execute him!"

Before the battle, the state of Wan beheaded the minister. Later, it was said that the minister was a member of the royal family of the Bora clan.

The Bora royal family used this as an excuse to launch an attack on the imperial family, resulting in a stalemate between the north and the south.

The North Wing's chances of winning have improved.

At this critical juncture, on the eve of the expedition, Xiyue and Kang Chenyan got married in a hurry.

The couple will go to the battlefield together to face the national crisis... "Yingjing Weekly" published Mr. Chu Sheng's article saying: "This is the most beautiful love in the world."
