The eldest son is fierce

The entire Zi Zheng Hall was in deathly silence.

Emperor Yanwen sat on the dragon throne with his legs crossed, his hands folded, his face full of arrogance and mockery.

He stared at the ministers in the hall, who were so anxious that they almost hid their heads in their pants, and sneered, "What? Are you all speechless? Weren't you all very reasonable just now? Weren't you concerned about the country and the people?"

"Don't you think Tang Yi is incompetent? Don't you think Tang Yi is not qualified to be the governor of two provinces?"

"I've given you a chance to speak now, why don't you say anything?"

The ministers in the hall suddenly looked embarrassed. Who knew that the boomerang would come so quickly? Every sentence and every word that was used to impeach Tang Yi became a slap in their faces.

After ten days of fighting, they destroyed the King of Zhennan, subdued 100,000 Zhennan troops, and avoided a bloody massacre among the brothers. Such an achievement would be a great achievement in any dynasty.

With this achievement as a foundation, it is almost impossible to discredit Tang Yi.

"Your Majesty, I fully agree that the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery will lead the military and political affairs of the Southwest and Yunxi regions."

Grand Secretary Kong Mingzhen immediately stepped forward and said, "In just ten days, the Loyal and Brave Marquis killed the Prince of Zhennan and took control of the Zhennan Army, thus preventing a major rebellion in the southern border. His contribution is immense."

"Your Majesty is extremely wise in choosing Tang Yi as the commander-in-chief of the Southern Border Army."

The Grand Secretary was flattered on the surface, but his heart was almost as sour as a lemon.

What a good young man! He can stabilize the country when he is on horseback and govern the country when he is on foot. If his granddaughter had not insisted on breaking off the engagement, Tang Yi would be his granddaughter's son-in-law now.

Damn it, that old Du Huaifang was so lucky that he got such a big bargain.

With Kong Mingzhen taking the lead, the originally embarrassed ministers changed their tune in an instant.

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have doubted the Loyal and Brave Marquis. The Loyal and Brave Marquis is mighty and powerful, and commanding the two important military and political affairs is what everyone expects."

"That's right, Your Majesty is wise and powerful. I blame this old minister for being blind and wrongly blaming Your Majesty."

"Who says the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is too young to lead the southern army? This is proof that he can."

"..."

The entire hall was instantly filled with noise, all filled with praise. Even the Prime Minister's party and the Princess's party had stiff expressions at this moment, but they all praised Tang Yi against his will, saying how awesome he was!

The facts are already in front of us, how dare you say it’s not awesome?

How many people can kill the Prince of Zhennan, subdue the Zhennan Army, and avoid a major chaos in just over ten days?

If this is recorded in history, future generations will also call it a legend!

Hearing these praises, Fan Yong's face turned green.

Despite making so many arrangements in the southern border, Tang Yi still managed to successfully kill the King of Zhennan and subdue the Zhennan Army.

In this way, Tang Yi had nearly 200,000 troops under his command.

Two hundred thousand against two hundred thousand, there is not much difference in military strength between Tang Yi and Huangfu Zong.

The only advantage is that Huangfu Zong is at the Grandmaster level, and one person is comparable to ten thousand troops!

"My dear Fan, why are you silent? Weren't you quite talkative just now?" Emperor Yanwen leaned forward slightly, staring at Fan Yong with a smile, and deliberately lengthened the ending tone of his words.

Fan Yong clenched the jade sceptre in his hand in anger. "What are you so proud of? That idiot Prince Zhennan is dead, so what's there to brag about?"

Tang Yi's real opponent is Huangfu Zong! In front of the Grandmaster Huangfu Zong, he is just a flea!

"Your Majesty is wise and wise. I no longer have any doubts about Tang Yi taking charge of the two important military and political affairs."

Fan Yong folded his sleeves and bowed, saying, "Yes, the 200,000-strong army of Nanjing has already been deployed outside Tianyong Pass, with countless martial arts masters assisting. Although the Marquis of Zhongyong controls the Zhennan Army, he wants to..."

"Prime Minister, you are old!" Emperor Yanwen interrupted Fan Yong.

Fan Yong was startled and looked up at Emperor Yanwen.

Emperor Yanwen stood up, staring down at Fan Yong, and said, "Since the Prime Minister has no confidence in Tang Yi, how about we come to an agreement between the Prime Minister and me?"

"If Tang Yi wins the battle in the southern border, my dear minister, please submit a petition to retire. If Tang Yi loses the battle in the southern border, it will be my fault. I will not issue an edict of remorse, but I will... abdicate!"

Upon hearing this, the entire hall fell into a dead silence. All the ministers looked up at Emperor Yanwen standing before the dragon throne, all dumbfounded.

Your Majesty, aren't you playing such a big game? That's the throne, the supreme throne in the world, are you going to bet it out like this?

What kind of magic potion did Tang Yi feed you that you actually trust him to this extent?!

Fan Yong was also confused. His hand trembled and the jade sceptre in his hand fell to the ground, but he didn't notice it at all. He just stared at Emperor Yanwen blankly.

Then, his breathing became rapid and his heartbeat began to race.

abdicate? !

Haha, Emperor, you are crazy, you must be crazy, madly crazy!

I have raised hundreds of thousands of troops in the southern border, and now the army is gathering. Even if Tang Yi controls 100,000 Zhennan troops, what can he do? I can still let Fan Huo lead his army to stab him in the back.

White knife goes in, red knife comes out!

Not to mention that most of the powerful families in the southern border are controlled by me. At my command, all the powerful families in the southern border will come to my full support, providing me with soldiers and food!

How can you fight? You can't fight at all!

Fan Yong was so excited that he wanted to jump up, but he tried to keep calm. He immediately knelt on the ground and banged his head heavily on the ground: "Your Majesty, this is not right! I can beg for my bones, but how can Your Majesty joke about the throne?"

"Your Majesty is the Supreme Being. What you say and do..."

Emperor Yanwen stepped down from the dragon throne and squatted in front of the surging waves, looking at him with a smile: "Alright, Prime Minister, stop acting. I know you are so happy that you want to roar to the heavens. After all, every word you write reminds me that the emperor never jokes."

"Since we, the king and his subjects, have reached the point where we are disgusted with each other, let's play big and go all in!"

"Tang Yi was defeated in the battle in the southern border. I abdicate. Tang Yi won. Prime Minister, please retire."

Emperor Yanwen's face was full of joking. Well, I asked you to beg for your bones and on the way back to your hometown you would encounter bandits and be hacked to death by them.

Of course, this is the way I want you to die, not the way Tang Yi wants you to die.

With that kid's methods, you will be ruined and condemned by thousands of people. After all, the evil things you have done over the years are too numerous to list.

Want to enjoy a peaceful retirement? Don’t dream!

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I dare not!" Fan Yong's head was pressed against the floor, his body trembling slightly, not with fear, but with excitement, with delight...

He has been waiting for so many years, isn't this the opportunity?

"No, you dare not. We are all old Liaozhai. Who doesn't know who is who?"

Emperor Yanwen chuckled.

He stood up, his cold gaze sweeping across the room. "The Great Yan of today is no longer the Great Yan of the past. I advise you all, the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, turn back now."

"Competition in the workplace can promote progress, but excessive infighting harms the nation and its people. It hasn't been easy for you to get to where you are today, so cherish it!"

After saying this, Emperor Yanwen turned and left.

"Retreat!"
