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

Chapter 2141

When Crown Prince Cen Ce was seventeen years old, he had been regent on behalf of his father for five years.

During these five years, the situation of nations has changed dramatically.

After the death of the old emperor of Wusong, the new emperor came to power and was tyrannical and cruel. At first, he just killed the ministers who gave advice, made them into "human candles" and stood them in the palace road, and even demolished the ancestral temple of the neighboring country to build a hawk-training platform.

After three or five small border states surrendered, his ambition swelled and he even had the ambition to annex the world. In just a few years, he destroyed seven small states and crushed half of the Jinhe Plain with his iron hoofs.

A prince of the Red Smoke Kingdom, who was known for his cowardice, suddenly poisoned his uncle who was the regent and proclaimed himself emperor.

The rise of this emperor was inseparable from the handiwork of the new ruler of Wusong. From then on, Chiyan followed Wusong's lead.

In order to protect themselves, half of the twelve tribes in Western Xinjiang have surrendered to Chiyan and Wusong.

The northern wing of Western Liang was provoked several times by the two countries, and the people living on the border suffered terribly.

The young crown prince Cen Ce went into battle three times.

The first time, he led light cavalry on a thousand-mile raid and drove the invading Wusong Wolf Division out of the Longxi Mountains.

In that battle, Cen Ce's silver spear knocked off the enemy general's golden crown, and the tip of the spear held the bloody corpse high above the Broken Blade Pass. For many years afterwards, the people of Wusong would be afraid of this crown prince of Liang before they even fought.

At the same time, Tang Xinghe and Ma Chuyang were also ordered to go out to defend the border and drive the Chiyan invading army out of Longshan.

The most exciting battle took place in the Ash River Valley. The Tang army used fire to force the enemy into the valley, and Ma Chuyang had already ambushed his troops at the Dragon Bone Pass.

After the joint attack of the two armies, General Chiyan's head was finally nailed to the northern wing boundary marker.

It was in this battle that the Northern Wing Red Feather Army and the Western Liang Black Armor Cavalry met for the first time at Lingyunding, the highest peak in the Longxi Mountains.

When the battle flags of the two armies overlapped, the snow on the mountain top that had not melted for a thousand years was melted by the soldiers' blood to form the first spring stream.

The young crown prince smiled as he looked at the mountains. "My two cousins, when you have time, go to Liang State to help me train the troops. Uncle Xinghe can also take a look at my Aunt Hongque. She is becoming more and more beautiful now, and the young men of Liang State have already..."

He counted on his fingers, "One, two, three, four, five, six... Wow, eight people swore to marry her."

Tang Xinghe's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, "You bastard, you are bringing up all sorts of issues!"

More and more annoying!

He saw his own childhood self in Cen Ce.

Cen Ce loved to annoy this cousin, putting his arm around his shoulder and whispering to him, "Let me tell you, Aunt Hong Que and the Minister of War's brother-in-law are hanging out quite often. If it weren't for you being my relative, I'd wish they could get married right here... Tsk, they're a perfect match."

Ma Chuyang was not very smart about his own affairs, but he was very careful about Tang Xinghe's affairs. "Yi Yi, how about this? When you go back, tell them that my brother is seriously injured and dying..."

"Shut up!" Tang Xinghe said coldly, "I, Tang Xinghe, am upright and honest. I don't want to use those petty tricks to deceive girls."

"Tsk tsk tsk!" Ma Chuyang's mouth twitched. "I say, could you have imagined ten years ago that you would be able to say such disgusting words today? 'I, Tang Xinghe, am upright'! Shouldn't it be 'I, Tang Xinghe, have no shame'?"

"Hahahahahahahaha..." Cen Ce laughed loudly and hooked his arm around Ma Chuyang, "Uncle Ma, you're more to my taste."

Ma Chuyang hooked Cen Ce with his backhand, "If you weren't so much younger than me, I would have called you brother!"

Tang Xinghe couldn't listen any longer, "How shameless!"

Ma Chuyang patted his face and said, "I didn't say I had a face, hahaha!"

Tang Xinghe felt that these words sounded familiar.

Over the years, he has really changed. He has become silent, focused, and obsessed.

He was determined to use his whole life to prove to Hong Que how cautious he was about marriage.

Without her, he would not get married.

The young crown prince's second expedition was to personally lead the navy to wipe out the pirates in the East China Sea.

On the night when the linked boats were burned, the scene of him standing on the mast, drawing his bow and shooting down the pirates was made into a folk song called "The Prince Shooting the Dragon" by the fishermen.
