The eldest son is fierce

As soon as Fan Yong said this, the entire hall fell into an uproar.

"No, if we marry at this time, where will our Great Yan maintain its dignity?"

"If we don't marry, do you think our Great Yan army can defeat them? If the Prince of Zhennan and the Huangfu Zong join forces, who can resist them?"

"I agree. The most important thing now is to stabilize Huangfu Zong first, and then free up our hands to deal with the Prince of Zhennan."

"..."

The Zizheng Hall was in chaos for a while. Some people opposed it, some supported it, and some tried to smooth things over...

Sitting on the dragon throne, Emperor Yanwen looked at this scene with a gloomy expression. A marriage alliance? You guys actually thought of that.

Nanjing peed on my head, and I had to open my mouth to catch it? And I had to push my most beloved daughter into Nanjing's bottomless abyss?

"Enough! Shut up!" Emperor Yanwen was furious.

He stood up, his cold eyes fixed on the ministers in the Council of State Hall. He flicked his sleeves and shouted in a cold voice, "My dear ministers, what you mean is that Nan Jing killed hundreds of thousands of my people in Great Yan, and I, Great Yan, not only turned a blind eye but also turned a deaf ear to it, and you also want to send my most noble princess into the fire pit? Is that what you mean?"

The emperor's voice resounded throughout the Zi Zheng Hall, and the entire hall suddenly fell into silence.

Many ministers immediately looked embarrassed, while the Prime Minister and the ministers on the Princess' side sneered. They knew that this was immoral and would be despised by the world...but what did it have to do with them? This was the Emperor's decision!

We are just making suggestions. It is the emperor who issued the order for peace talks. If the wind is not blowing in the right direction in the future, we can turn around and blame the emperor for being incompetent!

"Your Majesty, this is the general trend and the outcome of the overall situation."

Fan Yong bowed deeply and said in a deep voice, "I hope Your Majesty will prioritize the lives of the people and the country, negotiate a marriage with Nanjing, and buy enough time for the rise of Great Yan."

He would not give Tang Yi any chance at all. He would take two approaches at the same time, hindering Tang Yi in Kyoto and poking Tang Yi in the southern border, so that Tang Yi would be doomed to death without a burial place.

Otherwise, he would have become a powerful figure now, and if he defeated the Grandmaster Huangfu Zong and recovered the southern border, his reputation and popularity in the entire Dayan would be at its peak.

How can they fight Tang Yi then?

Of course, the most important thing is to focus the emperor's attention on the southern border, otherwise his Longzhong nobles will be killed by the dog emperor!

Upon hearing this, many ministers immediately came forward to echo his words, speaking in an exaggerated manner.

Emperor Yanwen looked down at the scene from a high position, his eyes were cold and sharp, and the urge to kill someone could no longer be hidden.

For the country? For the people of the world? Pah! When did you ever have the nerve to say that?

You speak so righteously, isn't it because you are afraid that Huangfu Zong and Prince Zhennan will join forces to attack you and destroy your wealth and glory?

In order to preserve your own wealth and glory, you can let me bear all the infamy and humiliation, and treat the people of the world like pigs and dogs, regardless of their lives... You are really great!

What? Sacrifice me for the happiness of thousands of your families, right?

Emperor Yanwen was furious and was about to retort when a surprised voice came from outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, the latest urgent news from the Loyal and Brave Marquis has arrived! The latest urgent news from the Loyal and Brave Marquis has arrived!"

"The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery has already captured Shangcheng. Situ Yan, the military advisor who killed the Prince of Zhennan and Huangfu Zong, has taken control of the Zhennan Army and is currently leading them towards Tianyong Pass."

"..."

Emperor Yanwen suddenly raised his head, and his eyes widened little by little.

Fan Yong and a group of ministers turned around at the same time, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

How long had Tang Yi led his troops into the southern border? Less than ten days, and already the Prince of Zhennan was gone, and the Zhennan Army had a new commander?!

how can that be!

Whoosh!

Emperor Yanwen came to his senses and, without caring about his image as an emperor at all, jumped out from the dragon throne in an instant. He was so fast that only his afterimage was left.

As soon as the messenger arrived at the gate of Zizheng Hall, the urgent report in his hand was snatched away by Emperor Yanwen.

He was breathing rapidly, but tried hard to hold his breath and read carefully word by word the memorial written by Tang Yi.

"Hehe, hahaha...hahahahaha..."

"You are indeed someone I value, indeed the heroic young man I trust the most! Good, good, well done!"

"In the three days since entering the Southern Territory, I've killed the King of Zhennan and taken over the Zhennan Army. Haha, well done!"

After reading the memorial, Emperor Yanwen was so excited that his whole body was shaking and he couldn't help dancing. The gloom on his face disappeared and now he was glowing.

"Hehe, happiness is better shared than happiness alone. Come, my dear ministers, come and share my joy."

Emperor Yanwen turned and walked into the hall, closed the memorial in his hand, and slammed it hard in Fan Yong's face: "Fan Qing, you are the Left Prime Minister, the head of all officials. It is you who will read the memorial of the Loyal and Brave Marquis to all officials!"

"Louder for me! I won't pretend anymore! I want to hear... the sound of a slap on your face, haha!"

Fan Yong picked up the memorial that had fallen on the ground and opened it.

After reading it, his old face suddenly turned pale, his hands clenched subconsciously, and he almost couldn't help but tear the memorial into pieces.

This is impossible. How could this be possible? I have already ordered all the nobles in the world to issue a hunting order for Tang Yi, and also asked Shangguan Mou to join forces with Fan Huo to organize a large army of bandits to intercept Tang Yi.

In such a high-pressure environment, shouldn't he be in a situation where every five steps in the southern border is an enemy country?

In such a situation, how could he possibly kill the Prince of Zhennan and take over the Zhennan Army? That was a hundred thousand Zhennan Army!

Fan Yong roared in his heart, and at this time many ministers of Fan's party had gathered around him, standing in front of Fan Yong and carefully reading the urgent report in Fan Yong's hand.

Then, his expression changed completely, he became panic-stricken and panic-stricken...

"This is impossible. How could this be true? Tang Yi must be making up a military report. He must be."

"Shangzhou is the domain of the Prince of Zhennan, and Shangcheng has long been run by him like an ironclad block. Yet, Tang Yi was able to kill the Prince of Zhennan in Shangcheng and seize the military power of the Zhennan Army? Why do I feel like I'm listening to a divine book? Even a storybook wouldn't dare to write this."

"No, although Tang Yi seems unreliable, he wouldn't make false reports. Since he sent back an urgent report at an expedited speed of 800 miles, it proves that the Prince of Zhennan is really dead and the Zhennan Army has a new leader."

"Haha, you're worthy of being the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, you're amazing!"

"..."

The entire Zi Zheng Hall was suddenly filled with noise.

Emperor Yanwen sat on the dragon throne with his majestic horse and golden sword, looking at the officials who were behaving in an ugly manner, with a smile that almost reached his ears.

Crazy! Making a fuss! Weren't you all just crazy and noisy just now? Why are you all so limp now? Get all fired up, bring out all your perverse theories and heresies, and ignite my wrath!

My dear ministers, I want to kill someone.

"What did you say just now, my dear ministers? I have forgotten."

Emperor Yanwen raised his hand to clean his ear, then nodded to the ministers in the Council of State Hall: "Just now, my dear ministers said that we want peace talks? We want a marriage? We want to stabilize the country before we fight against foreign aggressors? Right?"

"Well, this is a very good and important question. Come, I will discuss it with you now..."

The emperor was smiling, but that smile made the hairs of all the ministers in the hall stand up.

Just now they were very arrogant, forcing Emperor Yanwen to negotiate peace and marriage under the banner of fighting for the country and the Great Yan Empire. As a result, an urgent report from Tang Yi made them realize how ridiculous their previous righteousness was.

Peace talks? Marriage? Do they dare to mention it now?
