Time Travel to 1859: The Iron-Blooded Soldier King

Liu Ye and the other two had just returned to the mansion when Nie Sheng came up and said, "Sir, you are finally back. Someone from Prince Gong's Mansion wants you to come over. There is an imperial decree from Rehe..."

Liu Ye raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Okay, I get it, Nie Sheng. This is Mr. Guo Songtao, and this is Mr. Xue Fucheng. They are my close friends. You must treat them well from now on. They are both very learned people. You will benefit from following them."

Nie Sheng agreed repeatedly and continued, "Sir, there is one more thing. Zhu Hai and his group have returned, and the brothers have also brought back a lot..."

Liu Ye nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. Let them wait in the palace. I'll go to Prince Gong's Mansion first. Please arrange two rooms for me to entertain the two gentlemen. Call Zhu Hai and Yan Chunyu over and come with me to Prince Gong's Mansion!"

After arranging matters, they took Zhu Hai and Yan Chunyu with them and headed straight to Prince Gong's Mansion.

When they arrived at Prince Gong's Mansion, Prince Gong Yixin looked very unhappy.

Liu Ye asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong? I heard the decree from above has arrived?"

Yi Xin sighed and said with a sad face: "Liu Ye, things are ruined..."

Liu Ye's heart was shocked and he asked, "What's going on?"

"The court is already in an uproar. Sushun and others are extremely dissatisfied with the treaty, believing it is a loss of sovereignty and humiliation to the country. They have fiercely criticized us in front of the emperor. Now the emperor has issued an order, requiring us to resume peace talks..."

Yi Xin was about to cry, so she said, "Wait, these people are talking without any worries. Why don't you try to preside over the peace talks?"

Liu Ye was also feeling very annoyed. These bastard bosses were just a bunch of good-for-nothings who could do nothing but cause trouble!

"If they have the guts, let them come and negotiate in person! Damn it, each one is worse than the other. After we've already negotiated the treaty, they come here to dictate things. Damn it! I'll grab them and kill them all!"

Liu Ye was so angry that he almost started cursing.

Yi Xin said in a bitter voice, "Liu Ye, what's the point of saying this now? The problem is that the Emperor's decree has already come down! He wants us to renegotiate the treaty! What a headache!"

Even the usually steady Yi Xin couldn't help but swear!

Liu Ye said helplessly: "Re-sign? Damn, if we re-sign, then the conditions won't be the same as they are now. You're really taking advantage of me. Do you really think those foreign devils are easy to fool? They are now strong and powerful, and they are just trying to force you to sign a humiliating treaty. If they have the ability, they shouldn't cause trouble! If they cause trouble, they should deal with it themselves. If they don't have the ability, then they have to listen to me. You used to be such a good-for-nothing. If I had 20,000 elite soldiers now, why would I bother with them? I would have shot them all down long ago. The problem is, damn, where are my soldiers? Where are my guns? Where are my cannons?"

Yi Xin took a deep breath and asked, "What should we do now? The emperor's order has come down. If we don't follow it, it would be disobedience, and..."

Liu Ye asked: "What's wrong? Is there any other will?"

Yi Xin's face flushed, and he whispered, "The Emperor has listened to the impeachment of those upright officials in the court and has stripped you of your title of Governor of Zhili. You are only retained as the General of Baoding Town. However, I guess this position is not very secure. They are just afraid that without you, the others will not be able to control the situation, and those arrogant and fierce generals will cause chaos. Otherwise..."

Liu Ye was so angry that he kept groaning, "Damn it! If a tiger doesn't show its might, you guys will treat me like a sick cat. If you have the ability, don't let me work hard when something happens! You are really destroying the bridge after crossing it. What you are waiting for is mine!"

Liu Ye was still fine. Yi Xin was so busy talking that she forgot there were two people standing next to her. Zhu Hai and Yan Chunyu followed her in directly. After hearing what Prince Gong said, they were so angry that their lungs almost exploded!

Zhu Hai was still okay, after all, he was more stable, but Yan Chunyu, this guy, was not so good-tempered. How could he be called Chunyu? He should be called a violent storm!

Before Liu Ye could say anything, Yan Chunyu exploded!

"Asshole! Damn it, it must be those bastards of Zaiyuan who are behind this again. Damn it, I really regret not killing him and Zaidun back then! This is simply killing the donkey after it has done its work! You bastard, Your Highness, our general has made great contributions. Not only did they not reward him, but they also stripped him of his title of admiral. Is this court still the court? It's worse than shit..."

Liu Ye's face immediately turned dark. This kid deserves to be tied to a horse bit forever. He throws everything out like an animal. He's an animal!

"Yan Chunyu, you son of a bitch, get out of here!"

Liu Ye pointed his finger outside and roared.

Zhu Hai, who was standing by, saw that something was wrong and pulled Yan Chunyu up and ran out.

Liu Ye turned around, smiled awkwardly, and replied, "Your Highness, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. These people really lack discipline..."

Yi Xin's heart was still beating fast. They were truly arrogant and powerful generals. He was absolutely right. They dared to act so arrogantly in front of him, the first prince of the Qing Dynasty. It was truly speechless and cruel...

Yi Xin sighed and replied, "Well, it's hard to blame them. After all, it's the court's fault. With your achievements, even being sent to a provincial governor is more than enough. I didn't expect you to be demoted again. I can't blame the brothers below for making a fuss. But, what should we do next?"

Liu Ye shook his head and replied, "What can we do? What else can we do? Your Highness, you can hold the foreigners back. I intend to go to Rehe myself and meet with the Emperor to explain these matters to him face to face. They cannot see the interests involved."

Yi Xin nodded and replied, "Okay, this is the only way now. The Emperor has been away from the capital for over a month now, so I should also pay my respects to my brother. So, you should go to Rehe on my behalf. Going to Rehe without a reason is a crime. If someone with ulterior motives catches you, you will suffer the consequences..."

Liu Ye sneered, "Well, then I'll trouble His Majesty to write a letter. Hehe, they want to bring me down, and I'll give them this opportunity. If they have the guts, just knock me down right here in Rehe. If they can't, then I'm going to knock them all down. Damn it, I've been feeling so frustrated lately..."

Yi Xin's face changed, and he shouted, "Liu Ye, don't act recklessly. Now is not the time to act rashly. I think as long as you explain the interests involved to the emperor, you will get his support. Don't force it. Those big guys are not something you can afford to offend right now!"
