The eldest son is fierce

"Your Majesty, do not listen to Zhuge Wanwan's lies!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice. Zhuge Wanwan is bringing disaster to the country and its people!"

"..."

Zhuge Wanwan turned and left the hall. The imperial guards filed in beside her, followed by Di Qing and other ministers wailing and begging for mercy.

Listening to these pleas for mercy, a smile slowly appeared on Zhuge Wanwan's lips, without any concern. She believed that after she had completed the army, she would receive news from Prime Minister Zhao Kuo, Minister of Revenue and other ministers that they had died of anger after learning of Huangfu Zong's defeat.

It was already late autumn. When Zhuge Wanwan came out of the imperial study, the cold wind hit her body, and a chill swept over her whole body. She subconsciously tightened her cloak.

Her beautiful eyes swept across the desolate and majestic imperial palace. Zhuge Wanwan took the wine jug from her waist and raised her hand to pour the wine in the jug onto the ground. This was a strong liquor that her people had bought from the capital of Dayan and sent back. It was called distilled liquor.

Once, she promised a man that when he came back, she would treat him to the strongest wine and ride the fiercest warhorse. Unfortunately, after he came back, he never saw her until his death.

Even after her death, she was not allowed to offer condolences, and was strictly forbidden to do so.

"Just wait! Your Highness, I will send all those who hurt you to hell to make amends for your crimes."

"The emperor has already gone. Next will be Di Qing and the others, and then the little emperor... It's a pity that Huangfu Zong died at the hands of Tang Yi. As a result, I have to make some changes to my plan."

Zhuge Wanwan sneered, threw the wine jug towards the East Palace, and strode away.

Half an hour later, the horns and drums of the five major camps outside the city sounded, and the 100,000 soldiers and horses from the five major camps guarding the capital quickly gathered, and the generals also gathered in the commander's tent.

Another half hour later, Prime Minister Di Qing and other ministers including the Minister of Revenue were executed for deceiving the emperor, and their heads were impaled on a large banner fluttering in the wind.

Only then did Zhuge Wanwan feel satisfied and carried the banner and led the army north.

On the city wall, the young emperor looked at the five major camps marching northward with an icy expression. "Pass my order down. Immediately dispatch the Zhenxi Army, the Xuanwu Army, and the Left and Right Guards to the capital."

"I don't believe Zhuge Wanwan."

"Also, order all of Zhuge Wanwan's family members and relatives to be brought to the palace and placed under strict guard. If Zhuge Wanwan shows any signs of disobedience, her entire clan will be killed."

The commander of the imperial guards behind him immediately took the order and left.

At the same time, several men were gathering among the crowd outside the city watching the army heading north.

"Fuck, General Tang is so awesome! Huangfu Zong, who is at the Grandmaster level, and 200,000 elite soldiers kneel down just like that. He's so awesome!"

A young man in his early twenties clenched his fists excitedly and said, "Now Nanjing has sent General Zhuge Wanwan to lead an army to support the northern border, hoping to resist General Tang's army. That woman is no ordinary person, known as a rare talent in Nanjing. I wonder what will happen if she meets our General Tang!"

A bearded man in his forties, hands on his hips, said, "Of course, our Tang Shuai likes beautiful women, like Zhuge Wanwan, a rare beauty in this world... Tsk tsk, I think their battlefield will change to another place, like the bed."

Hearing this, several men around laughed.

Only an old man carrying a shoulder pole had a very calm expression. Looking at the mighty army of the five battalions, he sighed and said, "The young Emperor Nanjing has made a very important mistake. The previous emperor dismissed Zhuge Wanwan from all her positions not to suppress her, but to leave her for the young emperor to use."

“After the young emperor ascends the throne, he only needs to restore Zhuge Wanwan’s status and power, and Zhuge Wanwan will naturally be grateful to him.”

"Unfortunately, they all made the wrong choice. From the very beginning, Zhuge Wanwan chose to be loyal to only the former crown prince. She and the former crown prince were best friends."

"The Little Emperor, Huangfu Zong, and even the previous Emperor sacrificed his best friend in order to create a Grandmaster. Given this woman's character, she will naturally fight to the death with the Little Emperor and his people no matter what."

The old man licked the corners of his cracked lips and said, "Send the news to General Tang as quickly as possible, including the conflict between Zhuge Wanwan and the young emperor. Report everything in detail."

"Then, the focus of our next work will be on Zhuge Wanwan's family. I guess no matter what kind of sparks Tang Shuai and Zhuge Wanwan create, Zhuge Wanwan's family will be an unavoidable topic."

"Don't let us be asked to rescue others when the time comes, while we can only watch helplessly."

Hearing this, everyone's faces froze. "Given the young emperor's caution, he will definitely keep Zhuge Wanwan's relatives in the palace. For us, it would be a foolish dream to save them."

Everyone was silent.

The old man turned his head to look at the towering attic in the distance. That was the headquarters of Anjinglou, and it was also a place that everyone in Nanjing Kyoto was afraid of.

He leaned on the shoulder pole with both hands and said, "This problem may not be the problem we should think about, but the problem that Tang Shuai should think about..."

A dozen people around him turned their heads to look at him, their pupils suddenly widening in surprise. "I... damn, Old Li, are you saying that our Tang Shuai might come to Kyoto to kill him personally?"

"Isn't this too crazy?"

Old Li's smile was kind, yet it revealed an excitement he couldn't conceal. "Others certainly wouldn't risk their lives, but this gentleman of ours loves excitement. He's suffered a great loss at Anjing Tower this time. Can he accept this loss in silence? Obviously, it's impossible."

"So, if you see this gentleman in Nanjing Kyoto, don't be surprised at all, because this is just a routine operation."

A group of people nodded slightly when they heard this. Tang Yi was capable of doing such a thing.

"Damn it, whether I can go home and enjoy my life depends on this one time."

The old man swung up his carrying pole and said through gritted teeth, "Everyone, open your eyes and find a way to find out what's happening in Anjing Tower and the Imperial Palace, and prepare to welcome... our king!"

They were all spies from the Third Division of the Imperial Uniform Guard, and they had just received the latest news from Kyoto not long ago.

The news about Nan Jing did not need to be sent back to Kyoto, but could be sent directly to Tang Yi.

……

Two days later, Tianyong Pass.

Tang Yi had just led the new army to Tianyong Pass when Prince Yan and the frontier army commander Su Dingan personally led the army ten miles out to welcome them.

"I am Su Ding'an, the humble general, and I pay my respects to the commander-in-chief!" As soon as Tang Yi jumped off his horse, the commander-in-chief of the border army, Su Ding'an, knelt on one knee and saluted Tang Yi.

"General Su, please stand up. Aren't you trying to kill me?"

Tang Yi helped Su Ding'an up and said, "Old General, you fought well in this battle. You wiped out hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers of the Nanjingbei Army in the Great Yan territory, greatly enhancing our country's prestige and boosting our morale..."

Su Dingan's old face flushed red, and he waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "No, no, no... Marshal, please stop talking. This was all thanks to you, the Marshal, who took the initiative. I just took advantage of it. You're praising me so much, I'm almost ashamed to face anyone."

"Hahaha..." All the generals around laughed.

"How about I kneel down to you too?" King Yan Xiao Di looked at Tang Yi and winked at him.

"Yes, after all, I am now the Prince of Zhennan, a vassal king."

Tang Yi stared at Xiao Di with his hands behind his back and said, "And you, until now, are only a prince, which is a few levels lower than me. Come, kneel down for me, and I will guarantee that you will become the emperor. Seriously."
