The eldest son is fierce

Emperor Yanwen was gone, but the entire Zi Zheng Hall was dead silent.

Emperor Yanwen's words were like Tang Yi's thunderclap that exploded in their hearts, making them feel cold all over and their hair stand on end.

This was both advice and a warning. Emperor Yanwen was telling them openly that the day Tang Yi returned triumphantly to the capital would be the day of the decisive battle and reckoning.

After a long time, all the ministers finally came to their senses, but they all tacitly kept silent and turned around to leave the Zi Zheng Hall.

After leaving the palace, several ministers of the Zhao Party followed Fan Yong into his carriage and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion together.

As soon as they returned to the Prime Minister's study, several ministers who had been holding back for the entire journey finally spoke up, "Prime Minister, what on earth does His Majesty mean by this?"

"He wants to die." Fan Yong walked to the desk and sat down. He said coldly.

wanna die?

Several ministers looked at Fan Yong. "What are you doing?" "How confident was the emperor when he made the bet today? It clearly said we want to die!"

"Oh, the emperor is overconfident."

Fan Yong poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip to moisten his throat, and said, "Tang Yi is already struggling in the southern border. Now that the emperor is gambling with the throne, how could those who want to kill Tang Yi miss such an opportunity?"

"The first person who couldn't hold back was the eldest princess."

When several trusted ministers heard this, they suddenly understood. That's right! Tang Yi has now fallen to the point where everyone in the world wants to kill him in the southern border. The emperor's move is like stabbing Tang Yi in the back.

Originally, everyone just wanted to kill Tang Yi and get things back on track, but now that the emperor has made such a fuss, it has given everyone an opportunity to solve the problem from the root.

If the emperor is disobedient, then he will be replaced by an obedient one, and then he can enjoy the glory and wealth in the palace. As for the matters outside the palace, he doesn't have to worry about them.

There are major families helping him govern the country.

"The Prime Minister is wise!" Several people gave Fan Yong a thumbs up.

As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Ming pushed the door open and walked in, bowing and saying, "Prime Minister, there are two secret letters from the Southern Territory. One is written by Shangguan Mou, and the other... is from Tang Yi."

Hearing this, Fan Yong's expression suddenly changed. He stood up suddenly and shouted, "Give it to me."

Tang Yi wrote him a secret letter? What a joke! That little thief hated him so much that he couldn't possibly write him a secret letter.

Something must have happened in the southern border... Fan Yong's heart was torn by uneasiness. He quickly tore open the envelope, took out the letter, and spread out the secret letter.

The letter was written by Shangguan Mou:

Fan Huo rebelled and surrendered to Tang Yi with 10,000 troops. I led the remaining troops in a desperate battle, but ultimately only managed to break through with 3,000 remnants. Please direct our next move, Prime Minister.

Upon seeing the letter, Fan Yong's face instantly lost all color, and his old eyes widened. Fan Huo had rebelled? His good nephew led over 10,000 soldiers and surrendered to Tang Yi?

How dare he betray me? How dare he?!

"Damn it, damn it, how is this possible? This is impossible!"

Fan Yong crumpled the secret letter into a ball. His eyes were bloodshot, his face was as ferocious as a ghost, and he was so angry that he exploded on the spot.

No wonder Tang Yi could easily enter the mall, kill the King of Zhennan, and subdue the Zhennan Army. It turned out that his obedient nephew had rebelled and assisted him!

"Prime Minister, what's wrong? What happened?"

Seeing Fan Yong's expression, several confidants also guessed what was going on.

He immediately snatched the secret letter from Fan Yong, but was somewhat puzzled after reading it.

"Fan Huo? Isn't this the number one rebel in the southern border? Does the Prime Minister know him?"

Fan Yong clenched his fists, closed his eyes, and gritted his teeth as he said, "He is my man. Over the years, he has followed my orders and raised troops for me as a rebel. But now, he has surrendered to Tang Yi."

Upon hearing this, several confidants were stunned.

So Tang Yi not only destroyed the Prince of Zhennan and subdued the Zhennan Army, but also incorporated the army that you spent countless money and food to raise?

In an instant, several people looked at the secret letter written by Tang Yi in Fan Yong's hand, their faces froze. Needless to say, they could guess what kind of secret letter this was! This was clearly a thank-you letter from Tang Yi!

"Prime Minister, why don't you... burn it!" Li Qi, the Minister of Works, swallowed and advised.

The others nodded in agreement.

Fan Yong looked at the secret letter in his hand and naturally wanted to tear it into pieces, but after thinking about it, he opened the secret letter with a gloomy face.

I saw it written on the paper:

Lao Deng, you're quite the gamer! You actually thought of raising an army using the bandit method. But unfortunately, your army is now my army.

Thank you for your great contribution to the development of the Dayan Army. When I return to the capital, I will apply for a big medal for you in front of His Majesty!

Signature: Thinking of you, Yi.

There is also a big blood-red pig head below.

Blatant ridicule and provocation.

"Tang Yi! Tang Yi! Tang Yi!!!"

Fan Yong broke down on the spot and tore the secret letter in his hand into pieces.

Then he threw the secret letter on the ground and stomped on it like a madman: "Tang Yi, I will kill you. I must kill you. I want you to die. I will cut you into pieces!"

He pointed at Elder Ming and said, "Send a reply to Shangguan Mou immediately. Tell him to take my token and immediately gather all the remaining troops. He will assume command temporarily. I will select a general from the army to assist him."

"Tell him to speed up. Fan Huo knows all of the Prime Minister's troop stations in the southern border. If he were to act first, who knows how many more people would be taken away by Tang Yi."

Fan Yong was anxious. He raised troops in order to hold the emperor hostage and control the princes, but he didn't want the troops he raised with money and food to end up benefiting Tang Yi.

This guy is so weird. It seems that if anything has anything to do with him, things will get out of control.

His good nephew had been filial to him for more than ten years and was loyal to him and obeyed his orders, but in the blink of an eye, he was abducted away by Tang Yi.

Where the hell can I go to seek justice?

……

The eldest princess's mansion.

In the study, the eldest princess who was reading a storybook also received the news from the southern border, and she tore the storybook in her hand into pieces on the spot.

"Waste, waste, waste..."

The eldest princess's face was filled with murderous intent, and her voice was icy as she said, "Isn't the Prince of Zhennan always boastful? Didn't he say that the mall is his territory and that he has already run it like a solid block?"

"Is this his understanding of an ironclad force? Surrounded by tens of thousands of people, he still let Tang Yi charge into the army and kill him! He's such a loser!"

She looked up at the maid Qingyi who was standing not far away and said, "Qingyi, is there any news about Zhuge Yunjue yet?"

The man in blue bowed and said, "Yes, Mr. Zhuge disappeared after entering the Southern Territory and mobilizing all its forces. Now we can't find him, neither the Imperial Guard nor the Secret Service can find him."

The princess pondered for a moment and said, "He has his own things to do, so don't worry about him. Now that Your Majesty and Fan Yong have reached an agreement between ruler and subject, this is the opportunity I've been waiting for."

"Send more troops to the southern border. I don't want to see Tang Yi return to Kyoto alive no matter what."

"Also, we should speed up our work in Kyoto!"
