Li Ruijing was getting annoyed when he heard Emperor Zhaowen repeatedly calling Li Zhaoying a "little beast" and saw Ruan Bai labeling Li Zhaoying a traitor. Suddenly, he heard Ruan Bai say that Prince Lin would not live long. His heart skipped a beat and he immediately stood up to refute.

"Minister Ruan, Prince Lin is still the heir apparent on the Imperial Jade Spy. What is your intention in cursing the heir?"

Ruan Bai glanced at Li Ruijing coldly and thought to himself what an idiot.

As expected, the first person to be dissatisfied with Li Ruijing was Emperor Zhaowen.

"Sir Li, the traitor Prince Lin killed 100,000 people in Dayu. I have long intended to remove him from the Jade Spy, but the royal family disagrees."

"Dismissed?"

Li Ruijing thought Emperor Zhaowen had gone mad. If Prince Lin was removed from office, who would be able to defend Jiyang? Would they let the northern barbarians invade all the way?

Emperor Zhaowen looked at Li Ruijing with dissatisfaction. If he didn't want to keep Prince Lin's family to resist the three enemy countries in the north, he would have exterminated Prince Lin's clan no matter what.

Li Ruijing took a few deep breaths and asked, "Master Ruan, what did you mean when you said that Prince Lin's life was coming to an end?"

Ruan Bai snorted coldly: "With Li Jixin's identity, he went straight to the capital to snatch someone, and the one he snatched was the genius doctor Ye Jianan. Doesn't this explain the problem?"

"That's because Princess Lin's old illness has relapsed. Princess Lin's body was damaged by that child who died in infancy. Only Ye Jianan can cure her. Who doesn't know this?"

Ruan Bai still had a cold smile on his face. Li Zhaoying would not live long anyway, and Ye Jianan could only keep him alive.

"Your Majesty, there's no need to worry. It's just Li Jixin. Kill him, and Prince Lin won't cause any major trouble. Besides, even if Jiyang has a million troops, we have a million troops in Luocheng alone. Add to that the border troops in the east, west, and south, and the garrisons in each city, and that's nearly three million in total. Why should we be afraid of the Jiyang army?"

"Your Majesty, you can't do that!" Prime Minister Mu secretly cursed Ruan Bai for being an idiot.

Prince Qing and Prince Lin of the Western Territory are as close as one person.

Several generals of the Western Border Army were trained by King Lin and sent to Yucheng. This is why Yucheng was able to gain the upper hand in the confrontation with Fengyuan and Xiqi.

Ruan Bai still wants to mobilize the western border troops to deal with King Lin. He is dreaming.

As for the defenders in the southern and eastern borders, they must not be moved.

Although the emperor replaced Prince Lin's old subordinates, the people he replaced them with were really incompetent, and now they can only barely maintain a balance with the enemy country.

If they are transferred back, what will happen to the people in the east and south borders?

"Your Majesty, if the troops on the border are withdrawn, the border will soon be occupied by the enemy."

Prime Minister Mu was exhausted. He no longer had the excitement he had a few years ago when he heard that Prime Minister Liu had retired and the Emperor had promoted him to be Prime Minister.

He was sure that Emperor Zhaowen was moved by Ruan Bai's proposal just now, and he did not care about the lives of the people living on the border.

"This won't work, and that won't work either. So tell me what to do? Chang Jingyu, tell me!"

Chang Jingyu, who was named, cursed Ruan Bai in his heart as an idiot for the fifth time since he entered the Yangxin Palace.

He thought that if King Lin was gone, the Jiyang Army would disband. He was dreaming every day!

Prince Lin's two sons are no worse than Prince Lin.

Especially that little killer from the north. His father and brother always believed in using courtesy before force, but that little one was so crazy and reckless that he dared to kill all the members of the Qiang royal family before he was twelve years old.

Jiyang has been in such a state of trouble in recent years, but Li Jixin still beat the Beirong like a grandson.

There was also Li Jiren, who was carried to the battlefield by Prince Lin since he was a child. The late emperor was so frightened that he issued seven edicts and ordered people to send him to the capital.

Because of this reason, Li Jiren was personally led by the late emperor for several years. He was quite kind-hearted, very similar to Prince Lin. He would not attack the enemy unless the enemy attacked him.

But ever since the death of the late emperor and Concubine Qi, Li Jiren has been like a wild horse that has broken free from its reins. No one can control him, and he walks around the State of Yan every day like walking a dog.

The three killing gods of Jiyang and the four generals of Jiyang trained by King Lin are all crazy on the battlefield!

If it weren't for that ridiculous ban by the founding ancestor, coupled with the successive disasters in Jiyang, Beirong and Yan would probably have become vassal states of Dayu.

Four years ago, if the late emperor had not passed away suddenly, the Qiang people would have become part of Dayu's territory.

What a shame.

"Your Majesty, we certainly have three million troops, but let's not even talk about how many we can bring back. Even if we bring them all back, how many of them are willing to be the enemy of Prince Lin?"

Emperor Zhaowen was so angry that he slammed the handle of the whip hard on the imperial desk.

Almost all the armies across the country have former subordinates of King Lin. He has replaced several people in the past few years, but those idiots talk nice words but become cowards when they get to the battlefield.

And there are those low-class bastards who are all undisciplined, which makes it impossible for him to replace many people.

If these people really go to the battlefield, can they really attack King Lin’s army?

Chang Jingyu didn't even call Emperor Zhaowen a "fool".

He continued, “In Jiyang, whether it’s the people of Jiyang or the Jiyang army, King Lin and his two sons are gods in their hearts.

Lord Ruan keeps talking about killing Li Jixin. If Li Jixin really died in Luocheng, not to mention the extremely protective Prince Lin and Li Jiren, the people of Jiyang and the army would dare to rebel. Do you believe it?"

When Emperor Zhaowen heard Chang Jingyu say that Prince Lin was the god of the people of Ji Yang, he was furious.

The only god in the hearts of the people was Emperor Zhaowen, but he couldn't say that Chang Jingyu was wrong.

In the eyes of those Jiyang's lowly people, there are indeed only Prince Lin and his two little beasts, even though he is clearly the emperor of Dayu Kingdom...

Ruan Bai became furious after hearing what Chang Jingyu said.

"So, Master Chang, do you mean to allow Li Jixin to show off his power in Luocheng?"

Chang Jingyu didn't even look at Ruan Bai, but took out a letter and handed it to Emperor Zhaowen.

"Your Majesty, this is the secret letter I just received."

After presenting the letter to Emperor Zhaowen, Chang Jingyu took a few steps back, until he was just blocked from view by Ruan Bai, and waited quietly for Emperor Zhaowen's next round of madness.

The eunuch who had just been substituted in was keenly aware of Chang Jingyu's actions.

After he opened the letter and presented it to Emperor Zhaowen, he shrank back and retreated to a pillar in the hall.

This pillar was diagonally behind Emperor Zhaowen, and he could not see him unless he turned his head.

Emperor Zhaowen opened the letter and was furious.

"Prince Qing dares? Is he going to rebel against me too? And there's that little bastard Li Jiren. How dare they? I'm the Son of Heaven, how dare they? These traitors all deserve to die!"

Ruan Bai didn't know what was going on and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

"What's the matter? Take a look for yourself."

Emperor Zhaowen said this as he threw the thick stack of letters in Ruan Bai's face.

Ruan Bai had never been treated like this by Emperor Zhaowen before. His face turned red, but he still had to pick up the letter and read it.

Chang Jingyu said in his heart, "Shame on you."

Prime Minister Mu and others also wanted to know what happened, so they took the letter and read it. After reading it, they all looked strange.

Starting from October last year, of the 600,000 troops in Yucheng, 300,000 were left to guard the border, and the other 300,000, together with the 200,000 Jiyang army led by Li Jiren, attacked from the front and back, and together they took down the Fengyuan Dynasty and robbed several granaries of the Fengyuan Dynasty.

The 500,000-strong army suffered losses of less than 10,000 men, and then marched southwards and camped at the border between Yucheng and Chang'an Prefecture.

Li Jiren and Prince Qing led 100,000 soldiers towards Luocheng.

What is this thing called?

The Fengyuan Dynasty was not very big, and for many years it had been like a fence-sitter, following the Northern Rong and Western Qi in their ups and downs, causing a lot of trouble.

Both Emperor Yongle and the previous emperor wanted to destroy the Fengyuan Dynasty, but every time they sent troops, several countries on the border would join together to resist Dayu, which was really annoying.

But no one expected that the Fengyuan Dynasty would be taken down by Li Jiren and the granaries would be robbed.

Under normal circumstances, Prime Minister Mu and several other ministers would have laughed out loud, but seeing that Emperor Zhaowen looked like he was about to explode and kill someone at any moment, they endured it.

Ruan Bai couldn't believe it. How come he didn't receive any news about such a big thing?

"Master Chang, this news can't be fake, right? How could the court not have heard of such a major event?

Also, if Li Jiren wanted to take over the Fengyuan Dynasty, why wouldn't Fengyuan's allies make any moves? "
