The daughter of the emperor is beautiful and holds the power over the world
Chapter 11 Does the King Have Any Other Choice?
At that time, Xiongyue Pass was almost impossible to defend. The old Grand Tutor and other court elders made a desperate plea to His Majesty, and only then did His Majesty agree to let him be the commander-in-chief again.
He rushed to the border, determined to strike back fiercely against the Beimang Kingdom.
However, at this time, the imperial court sent an order for him to hide in Xiongyue Pass and only defend but not attack.
After much deliberation, King Yong launched a counterattack and eventually defeated the Beimang army.
The people of Daxuan celebrated throughout the country, and the soldiers at the border were all excited.
At this time, the court quickly summoned him back to the court.
As soon as he entered the capital, he was arrested and imprisoned. The Supreme Court accused him of defying the imperial edict and plotting rebellion.
He was severely tortured in prison. If the old Grand Tutor had not joined forces with several elders in the court to protect him, he would probably have died long ago.
The old Grand Tutor offended the emperor and was ordered to move out of the capital.
Several other elders were also impeached one after another. Some were demoted, some were exiled, and the few remaining loyal ministers in the court ceased to exist.
Since then, he has had a hard time in the court.
At this moment, he was facing the same situation as four years ago.
He had to consider the price of disobeying the imperial decree.
"Your Highness Prince Yong, the King of Yan looks forward to joining forces with you again to resist the Beimang army."
"Have you met King Yan?" Qi Ziyu straightened his back and looked directly at Si Yan.
"Yes, I just saw him before I came back." Si Yan met Qi Ziyu's gaze and said, "But the King of Yan was shot by the enemy's wolf poison arrow, and we need to get the antidote from Liang Junshan."
"It's good that he's still alive. I can find a way to get the antidote..."
Qi Ziyu sat back down at the desk, clasped his hands together to support his head, and tried to calm himself down.
He was not surprised that Yan Longyi was still alive. What surprised him was that Yan Longyi wanted to join forces with him again.
Will Yan Longyi trust him again?
After a moment, Qi Ziyu looked up at Si Yan and said, "Does the King of Yan really want to join forces with me?"
"Yes." Si Yan nodded, "As long as Prince Yong shows enough sincerity."
"What does it mean to be sincere?" Qi Ziyu asked cautiously.
"Take the initiative to send troops." Si Yan's eyes were sharp as he stared at Qi Ziyu. "May I ask, Prince Yong, have you made up your mind to join forces with the State of Yan?"
"Does the king have any other choice?" Qi Ziyu asked.
The army of Beimang Kingdom is already on the way. The terrain of Xiongyue Pass is different from that of Beiyan Pass, and it cannot be defended by just defending it.
Just like back then, if the Daxuan army did not take the initiative to attack, they would have no choice but to sit and wait for death.
Si Yan softened his tone: "Since Prince Yong has made up his mind, I have something to say to him."
"What?"
"In this battle, we can only win, not lose." Si Yan's expression was cold. "If we win, we still have a chance to deal with those people in the court. If we lose, Prince Yong will be in danger of his life again."
The word "again" made King Yong realize that the weak woman in front of him was not unaware of what he had experienced.
Qi Ziyu looked up at the woman in front of him, and it seemed that he was not so disgusted with the marriage arranged for him by his father.
"You are not afraid of a woman, so why should I be afraid?"
Qi Ziyu smiled faintly and took a sip of the medicinal tea on the table.
Si Yan had heard that Prince Yong held a medicine jar all day long, drank medicinal tea, ate medicinal food, and even bathed in medicinal baths...
All medicines are poisonous. If Prince Yong continues to use medicine like this, his body will not be able to bear it for a long time.
But now is not the time to talk about that.
"Your Highness must be afraid, the battle must be won, and those treacherous officials in the court must be eliminated."
Si Yan looked at Qi Ziyu steadily, "What the prince has experienced must never happen again. As long as I, Si Yan, am still alive, I will ensure that the prince is safe and sound."
"..."
Qi Ziyu still didn't know how much weight Si Yan's words carried, but it was surprising that a woman like her could think of these things.
Qi Ziyu spoke slowly: "The traitors in the court are deeply rooted and will be difficult to deal with."
He had long thought about getting rid of the Imperial Concubine and the Prime Minister's party, but there were too many forces involved and he had no idea where to start.
Si Yan's expression was firm: "No matter how lush a tree is, it can be uprooted. It just depends on how it is pulled out."
"Girl, be careful with your words." Qi Ziyu reminded.
Si Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Prince Yong. I know what to do."
Just as he finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside the tent.
The military commander hurriedly reported, "Prince Yong, the enemy's vanguard has arrived at the city gates, shouting at us to hand over the Prince of Yan. Their main force is expected to arrive tomorrow morning at the latest."
Prince Yong's eyes were cold as he slowly stood up from the table and drew the long sword from his waist with his sickly pale hands.
"We don't have the King of Yan, but we have swords."
Prince Yong's voice was low and his tone was as cold as ice. "Order all soldiers to sharpen their weapons and prepare for a decisive battle with the Beimang army."
"Yes." The military commander outside the door was very excited.
The soldiers had been holding back for more than half a month and were almost suffering from internal injuries. They had long wanted to fight a good battle.
At this moment, Si Yan suddenly spoke: "Your Highness, the morale of our soldiers is high, which is a good thing, but the Beimang army is powerful after all, and our army must not fight blindly."
"What do you think?" Qi Ziyu asked.
Si Yan said softly, "During this period, the prince has been keeping his troops inactive. The enemy must think that our army is cowardly and afraid to fight. We should take advantage of their strategy and wait for the enemy to let their guard down. Then we can seize the opportunity to strike. We will surely catch them by surprise and defeat them severely."
Upon hearing this, Prince Yong immediately issued an order: "Tell our soldiers to explain to General Liang that the Prince of Yan is indeed not in our hands. Please don't make things difficult for General Liang."
"Yes." Zuo Hang, who was waiting for orders outside the tent, responded loudly.
Zuo Hang was very surprised. This Miss Si who broke in forcefully, had suddenly transformed herself into the person who gave advice to the prince?
"Also, if Liang Junshan is still obsessed with the life of the Prince of Yan, we can also take advantage of his eagerness to win the heart of the Prince of Yan and devise a plan to retrieve the antidote for the wolf poison arrows..."
Qi Ziyu turned his head and looked at Si Yan: "This is not easy, we need to think about it carefully."
Si Yan leaned over and told Qi Ziyu his plan.
Qi Ziyu heard this and couldn't help but widen his eyes: "No! This is absolutely not possible! This is too risky..."
"Your Highness Prince Yong, opportunities are sought in danger." Si Yan said with a firm look.
She promised to get the antidote for Yan Longyi within three days. Now a day and a night have passed, and only two days are left.
She had to get the antidote within these two days, no matter how risky it was.
