The empress disliked my achievements for overshadowing her own, so she turned her attention to the N

Chen Nan glanced at Mo Bai, who then slowly began to explain.

"General Chen, without any evidence to prove that Changsun Du is plotting a rebellion, you directly led your troops to his doorstep."

"Put yourself in his shoes. If General Chen were Changsun Du now, how would you feel about the court?"

"On a larger scale, how will the common people view the imperial court?"

"In the eyes of the common people, the prime minister is a man of great power and influence, and a pillar of the court."

"If someone leads troops to his doorstep on a fabricated charge, what will become of the people under this dynasty's rule?"

Chen Sheng reacted quickly, saying bluntly, "Nonsense! You've already brought your troops to my doorstep, so it's definitely a matter of going straight for the kill! We'll get to the point!"

"Furthermore, since you have no evidence, I, the general, will simply raise an appeal and drag the people into this affair, which would be a disgrace to the imperial court!"

After speaking, he realized that something was wrong, which caused his voice to grow softer and softer.

"So that's how it is. No wonder we were stationed in Happy Forest, we were waiting for evidence!"

Once he realized what was happening, Chen Sheng resumed his previous state: "Master, don't worry. With the evidence, I will definitely be the first to storm his Prime Minister's mansion."

With Mo Bai's explanation, Chen Sheng finally started to use his brain a little, and Chen Nan was secretly pleased with his reckless apprentice.

Chen Sheng waved his hands excitedly and said, "Once we have evidence, I'll be the first to storm into that old dog Changsun's prime minister's mansion, kill him, and then immediately support my master to take his place as prime minister!"

In an instant, everyone in the tent seemed to be frozen in place, each staring at Chen Sheng with astonishment.

Soon, Chen Sheng realized that everyone was staring at him, and his excitement subsided. He put his hands down and looked around with a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong? Am I wrong? Only someone as capable as my master deserves to sit in the position of prime minister."

It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, because his words caused the expressions on their faces to change several times.

The one whose expression changed the most was Hongming, who looked hesitant and whose eyes kept darting back and forth between Chen Nan and Chen Sheng's upper bodies.

Next was Mo Bai, and then Wu Xu. At this moment, the two of them were trembling all over, and a thought of rushing out of the camp actually rose in their hearts.

These two weren't trying to rush out of the tent out of fear; they simply wanted to check if anyone nearby had overheard what they shouldn't have said.

Of all the people in the camp, the two of them had known each other the longest. At the beginning, he was just a minor border official who spent his days being ordered around by his superiors.

After meeting Chen Nan, both of them saw their status and position rise significantly.

Moreover, both of them knew that although Chen Nan had not been with Northern Wei for long, he had already become an indispensable person in Northern Wei.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Northern Wei Dynasty could do without Hongming, Qin Qingmin, Changsun Du, and even the Empress Dowager, but it could not do without Chen Nan.

This single sentence reveals Chen Nan's importance to the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Putting aside outsiders, if Chen Nan were to rally the troops, no, he wouldn't even need to rally the troops. Once the time was right, with Mo Bai's instigation, Wu Zixu would have dared to raise the troops under Chen Nan's banner.

As for Zhao Yun, at this moment he was like a transparent person, not caring at all about the affairs of the court.

He had only one thought in his mind: if Chen Nan said to do it, then he would do it; if Chen Nan said to rebel, then he would rebel!

Back to Chen Sheng, this kid doesn't even need to say anything, he practically has the word "rebellion" written all over his face.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Hongming secretly glanced at everyone and only then did she realize that the people around her had unknowingly begun to support Chen Nan.

It seems that she is the only one struggling to hold on, trying to restore a bright and clear world to the Northern Wei Dynasty.

"Phew!" Hongming let out a heavy sigh, slowly stood up, and said casually, "It's a bit stuffy in the tent, I'm going out for a walk to clear my head."

"Ah? Madam, it's early winter now, and we haven't lit the stove, so how could it be stuffy? Are you sick?" Chen Sheng was like a chatterbox, able to respond to every single question perfectly.

Hongming staggered and lifted the tent flap, slowly walking out under everyone's gaze.

In a fit of excitement, Chen Sheng ran up to Chen Nan and said, "Master, you're angry even though you don't recognize me as your wife. Aren't you going to go out and see what's going on? Aren't you afraid people will be angry with you?"

Chen Nan didn't speak immediately, but instead carefully sensed the movements outside the tent.

After confirming that Hongming couldn't hear him, he slammed his fist on the desk: "Chen Sheng, have you lost your mind?"

"Huh? Master, don't scare me! You know I've always been timid!"

Chen Sheng knew Chen Nan was angry, so he jumped up suddenly. The two of them ran around the desk, one in front and the other chasing behind.

As Chen Sheng ran, he asked, "Generals, do you think I'm right? What right does that old dog Changsun have to sit in the position of Prime Minister? This position should definitely belong to my master!"

Mo Bai explained helplessly, "General Chen, the prince is the Prince of Zhennan and the Left Chancellor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and also holds the position of Censor. He is even granted a golden staff, the privilege of not having to bow when entering the court, and the privilege of wearing a sword and shoes to court, among other honors."

This finally revealed Chen Nan's true identity completely.

Chen Sheng exclaimed in surprise, "Ah? So my master is already the prime minister?"

Just when everyone thought that this would make Chen Sheng more restrained.

The other party then uttered another earth-shattering statement: "That's more like it. How could a mere prince be worthy of my master?"

"And that old dog Changsun, how dare he be so arrogant as to hold the same position as my master?"

"I'll kill him sooner or later and let my master take control of the government!"

These words left everyone speechless.

They realized that in Chen Sheng's heart, he would only be satisfied if Chen Nan ascended to that supreme position; otherwise, everything else would be in vain.

Suddenly, Chen Sheng realized that Zhao Yun hadn't spoken at all, so he directly asked, "General Zhao, is your silence due to a lack of interest in speaking? Or do you think what I said is wrong?"

Chen Sheng suddenly steered the conversation toward Zhao Yun, who was the most silent person in the crowd.

Mo Bai chuckled inwardly: Hmph, General Zhao Yun seems much more composed than this Chen Sheng, he certainly wouldn't be so rude.

He chimed in, "Yes, what's General Zhao thinking? Why don't you tell us?"

Zhao Yun pondered for a moment. The situation in the camp was already chaotic enough, and he didn't want to get involved any further.

Since both Mo Bai and Chen Sheng called out his name, he had no choice but to speak up: "General Mo Bai, do you really want to hear Yun's thoughts?"

Mo Bai and Wu Xu both nodded firmly: "Yes, of course we want to. General Zhao, please tell us quickly, let this fool Chen Sheng hear what is appropriate to say at this time."

“Since that’s the case, then so be it.” Zhao Yun suddenly stood up: “Our lord should rightfully inherit the throne and lead us to pacify the four seas and cleanse the five continents!”
