After traveling through time, I was spotted by the new emperor

Ye Wuwei also believed that the Zhuang and Yuwen clans would not give in easily.

No matter when and where, conflicts are inevitable for resources, money, interests and power, not to mention that the Zhuang and Yuwen families have the capital to fight.

"What is the current status of the 100,000 troops previously sent to Andu and Yingdu?"

"After returning to the palace last night, Grand Tutor Zhuang and Prime Minister Yuwen immediately sent several teams of trusted confidants to the army. I believe they were sending a message asking them to turn back."

"What are you going to do with a hundred thousand troops?"

"Fifty thousand of them are the imperial guards that the Zhuang and Yuwen families left in Chamdo. I will have them each keep 5,000 men, and the rest will return to Ledu and Fengdu.

The other 50,000 are troops from various small and medium-sized families, 20,000 of whom were transferred from Chamdo before. I will let them keep half of them, and they can do whatever they want with the remaining 10,000 as long as they don't stay in Chamdo.

As for the remaining 30,000 troops, they were originally drawn from various places, so they will return to where they came from."

"Grand Tutor Zhuang and Prime Minister Yuwen will definitely not agree."

"It's not up to them to refuse."

"So what did you come up with?"

"I gave General Qi a mission to have the 50,000 Qi clan troops stationed in Chamdo escort the 40,000 troops of the Zhuang and Yuwen clans back to Ledu and Chamdo.

Once the mission is completed, the 50,000 Imperial Guards will return to Qamdo and receive the same treatment as my own troops."

"Aren't you afraid that the Qi clan's 50,000 imperial guards will join forces with the Zhuang and Yuwen clans to deal with you?"

"They won't."

"What makes you so sure?"

"Because the fifty thousand Imperial Guards saw the devastation of the bombs and grenades last night, they don't know how many bombs and grenades we still have."

Ye Wuwei looked at Qi Wushuang: "Do you want me to make another batch of bombs and grenades?"

"That's what I mean, but I won't force you."

Ye Wuwei didn't answer whether it was good or bad, but his mind was turned away.

Qi Wushuang's army does not have an advantage in numbers, and the only thing they can rely on is weapons.

If there were no bombs and grenades, both sides would suffer heavy losses if a war really broke out.

If there were bombs and grenades, they might have had a deterrent effect and the two sides would not actually go to war.

It seems that we need to make some bombs and grenades just in case.

Seeing that Ye Wuwei didn't say anything, Qi Wushuang knew that he was thinking in his heart, so he didn't disturb him and quietly accompanied Ye Wuwei for a walk.

Prince Qi's Mansion was not far from where Ye Wuwei lived, and it didn't take long for the two of them to arrive.

Ye Wuwei looked at the gate and said, "I'm here."

Qi Wushuang felt a little regretful that this distance was too short.

Even after living in the palace, I will still find ways to take a walk with Ye Wuyi.

"Rest for the next few days. When the emperor's funeral is held, come with me to escort him to the imperial mausoleum."

Hearing the word "a few days", Ye Wuwei asked curiously, "How long will the emperor's body be kept in the palace?"

Ye Wuwei remembered that most emperors' remains were kept for a long time, some even for several months.

“Originally, we should have stayed longer to allow the royal family and members of various noble families to come and pay their respects.

But the emperor's children are all here, and the only ones left of the emperor's brothers are Prince Su and me. I, and Yu Shen, can also represent Prince Su.

As for the four great families, all of them are present except my uncle, and Fu Chi is the eldest son of the Duke of Anguo, which is enough to represent my uncle.

Therefore, General Qi decided to bury the body after ten days."

Hearing that the funeral would be kept for ten days, Ye Wuwei thought: For an emperor, keeping the funeral for ten days is really not respectful enough.

However, the emperor did not achieve any achievements during his thirteen years on the throne.

"Did you put pressure on General Qi?"

"That's not the case, it's just that General Qi is worried that things will get complicated if the night goes on, so he wants me to ascend the throne sooner."

"Isn't your coronation ceremony also in seven days?"

"That's not the case. The dragon robes worn upon the throne alone took several months to sew.

General Qi's intention is that my title as emperor will be determined after the emperor's funeral. I will take charge of the affairs at the Taiji Hall, and the coronation ceremony will be held on September 9th."

Although September 9th is not the Double Ninth Festival in Qi Dynasty, it is indeed a good day!

only……

"The Emperor died in Taiji Hall. Do you want to renovate it?"

"General Qi has summoned a group of Taoist priests to perform a ritual in the Taiji Hall today, and will also replace the Dragon Throne."

Ye Wuwei thought for a moment and then asked, "The Emperor is your brother after all. If I kill him, will you..."

Qi Wushuang interrupted Ye Wuwei: "Have you ever seen me call him brother?"

Ye Wuwei thought about it: Qi Wushuang seldom called the emperor "Royal Brother", either "The Emperor" or "That One".

"Since I was five years old, I've been the victim of countless assassination attempts and poisonings. When I was twelve, over twenty eunuchs died while testing poison for me.

My mother died early because of chronic poisoning.

Although there has been no evidence to prove that he did it, my three royal brothers died before they reached adulthood, leaving only Prince Su, who posed no threat to him, and me, who was still young at the time.

And I also became the target of assassination and poisoning. I really can't think of anyone else besides him.

What brotherly feelings do you think I have for him?"

Qi Wushuang rarely talked about the past. Although Qi Wushuang's tone was very calm now, Ye Wuwei suddenly felt a little sorry for him.

How despairing it is for a five-year-old child to live in the shadow of death at any time!

It was extremely difficult for Qi Wushuang not to grow up crooked or abnormal, and he even grew up to be such an outstanding general today!

In Ye Wuwei's eyes, Qi Wushuang is indeed a very outstanding general!

Excluding Qi Wushuang's "ill intentions" towards Ye Wuwei, Ye Wuwei believes that there is nothing wrong with Qi Wushuang.

Because of heartache, Ye Wuwei's eyes softened when he looked at Qi Wushuang, and his voice also became soft:

"What kind of person is your mother?"

Qi Wushuang instantly felt Ye Wuwei's heartache. He looked at Ye Wuwei and saw "pity" in Ye Wuwei's eyes.

Qi Wushuang's heart suddenly felt a little sour.

Ever since he became a lone warrior in the army, no one has ever shown sympathy for him.

Everyone admires, trusts and relies on him...forcing him to become harder and harder.

Until his heart hardened into a thick shield, he became an "incomparably powerful" person.

However, he also needs "love" and "care".

Now, he felt the care and love from Ye Wuwei.

Qi Wushuang concealed his emotions and said in a calm tone:

“I was only eight years old when my mother passed away. I don’t really know what kind of person she was, but I remember that she loved me very much.

All I know about my mother is described by my father, grandfather, grandmother and uncles.

They said that my mother grew up in Yingdu and was the only girl of that generation in the Chu family. Therefore, she was loved by her grandparents and several uncles since she was born.

She was brought up in a pampered environment and is innocent, pure and kind.

However, the Chu family at that time was just a medium-sized family.

When she was sixteen years old, she went to Chamdo with her grandfather to celebrate her father's birthday, and her father fell in love with her at first sight.

My father is twenty-four years older than my mother. My grandfather originally did not agree with my mother marrying my father, but my father swore on his life that from now on there would only be my mother and that he would protect her and the children she gave birth to, only then did my grandfather agree.

After my mother married my father, the emperor was very good to her and doted on her alone. He also loved me in every way.

Unfortunately, no matter how much my father protected me, my mother was still poisoned by a chronic poison and died when I was eight years old.

The person who poisoned me originally thought that my father would dislike me without my mother, but who knew that my father would transfer all his love for my mother to me.

Even the Chu family, with the support of the emperor, became one of the four great families of the Qi Dynasty."
