The carefree sixth prince, my father respectfully invites me to ascend the throne.

However, everyone's speculations have long been meaningless. In this struggle between father and son, neither Emperor Liang nor Yang Ling has any way out.

The father and son who were once together are now enemies with differing political views.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince has sent a document!"

Liangzhou had finally been quiet for a few days, and Yang Ling was finally enjoying some peace and quiet when she received a document from her elder brother, the Crown Prince.

Looking at the document in An Yu's hand, Yang Ling frowned slightly, somewhat unhappy.

"What's the point of sending someone with this document now? Are they trying to curry favor with a prince like him and make me negotiate peace with the court?"

Hearing Yang Ling's words, An Yu smiled slightly.

"With our current strength, there's absolutely no need for us to do that!"

Yang Ling didn't speak, but took the document, opened it, and carefully looked at its contents.

Upon seeing the above content, Yang Ling frowned slightly, then smiled again.

The crown prince doesn't treat him like a human being at all, offering such a meager reward, as if he doesn't want to let things settle down.

That is absolutely impossible!

"You should also send a reply, saying that you can persuade me to withdraw my troops, but I must become the Crown Prince of the Great Liang Kingdom!"

Upon hearing Yang Ling's words, An Yu's lips curled into a cold smile.

"Your Highness, rest assured, I will handle this matter well!"

After saying that, An Yu stood up, turned around and walked out.

Seeing An Yu walk out, Yang Ling also threw down what he was holding, a cold smile appearing on his lips, and then got up and walked out of the house as well.

He can't afford to be so passive now; he needs to take the initiative in some matters.

"Guards, bring General Zhang to me!"

Yang Ling had high hopes for the commander who had just joined them. He believed that if the commander was given enough troops, he would definitely gain something unexpected.

Upon hearing this, the guards under his command immediately went to carry it out, and soon Zhang Liao was brought before them.

"Your Highness, are you looking for me?"

Zhang Liao looked at Yang Ling with excitement in his eyes. Yang Ling smiled slightly and pulled him into the room.

"Have you ever thought about leading troops into battle?"

Yang Ling looked at Zhang Liao, and a hint of surprise flashed in Zhang Liao's eyes.

"Leading troops into battle? Your Highness, do you want me to be a general?"

Seeing the other person's surprise, Yang Ling smiled.

"What is the position of general? As long as you work hard in the future, becoming a king or prime minister will be no problem!"

Upon hearing Yang Ling's promise, Zhang Liao was incredibly excited, as few men could resist the temptation of being granted two titles of king and prime minister.

After all, who wouldn't want to be at the pinnacle of power, second only to the emperor?

"Your Highness, rest assured, Zhang Liao will surely die on the battlefield at your command!"

Hearing the other party's answer, Yang Ling was very satisfied. What he lacked now was a general who could lead troops into battle.

"I'll give you 30,000 troops right now, equipped with the latest weapons and equipment, to attack Bingzhou. What do you think?"

Upon hearing Yang Ling's words, Zhang Liao's eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Your Highness commands me to attack Bingzhou with only 30,000 troops?"

Seeing the questioning look in the other person's eyes, Yang Ling smiled slightly, then took out a map from his pocket and pointed to the location of Bingzhou.

"General Zhang, look here!"

Zhang Liao looked at a region on the map, his eyes filled with surprise.

"Your Highness, are you planning to go to war with the imperial court?"

"Yes, this is the task I assigned to you. As long as General Zhang can conquer Bingzhou, I will definitely reward you according to your merits!"

Zhang Liao looked at Yang Ling and smiled.

"In that case, Zhang Liao is willing to serve Your Highness with utmost loyalty!"

"it is good!"

Yang Ling smiled slightly, then took the other person's arm, her eyes filled with excitement.

"In that case, General Zhang, please go and make the preparations!"

Upon hearing Yang Ling's words, Zhang Liao quickly went out. Watching Yang Ling's departing figure, his eyes were full of smiles.

If Zhang Liao's troops take Bingzhou, he will be able to directly threaten the imperial court.

Once Emperor Liang sees his own strength, he will definitely be even more anxious, and then he will have a way to force the other party to give him the position of crown prince.

Thinking of this, a ruthless glint flashed in Yang Ling's eyes.

"Brother Crown Prince, now it all depends on you!"

……

Meanwhile, after receiving Yang Ling's letter, the Crown Prince was furious and slammed the letter to the ground.

"Has Yang Ling gone mad? How dare she threaten me!"

Emperor Liang, sitting to the side, looked at his son with a helpless expression in his eyes. He had not expected Yang Ling to be so bold.

"Don't be angry, that was just a threat!"

Upon hearing his father's words, the crown prince gave a slight, cold smile.

"A threat? I think he's planning a rebellion!"

Seeing his son's attitude, Emperor Liang shook his head helplessly, then stood up, picked up the letter from the ground, and handed it to the other party.

"Don't you sense what he wants?"

Upon hearing his father's words, the crown prince's eyes were filled with surprise. He then picked up the letter again, and after reading a few words inside, his expression changed instantly.

Seeing the change in his son's expression, Emperor Liang smiled slightly.

"So, you'll just have to bear with this!"

Upon seeing his father, the crown prince's eyes were filled with grievance.

"Are we just going to let this go like this? If the court officials find out, where will I, the Crown Prince, put my face?"

Emperor Liang looked at his son, a hint of helplessness in his eyes. This child really left him speechless.

"Don't worry, he just wants the position of crown prince. Just be patient and deal with him after you ascend the throne!"

Upon hearing his father's words, the crown prince pondered for a moment, then stood up.

"Father, don't worry, I'll find a way!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Watching his son's departing figure, a hint of helplessness flashed in Emperor Liang's eyes.

"Yang Ling, you absolutely must succeed!"

Yang Ling acted swiftly, and soon after, he ordered Zhang Liao to lead troops to attack Bingzhou.

Faced with Yang Ling's sudden action, the entire court and the public were shocked. One after another, ministers hurriedly submitted memorials, saying that Yang Ling was disloyal and unfilial.

Even some ministers who had previously supported Yang Ling began to stand up against his actions. Faced with this situation, Emperor Liang could no longer sit still.

Seeing his father like this, the crown prince was overjoyed and even felt that his opportunity had come.

What he didn't know was that the reason these ministers dared to stand up against Yang Ling was because of Yang Ling's secret promises.
