Chapter 368 Attacking Northern Chu
"You don't have to cover up for him. I think it's this brat..."
Emperor Qinglong's rebuke came to an abrupt end. He looked at Song Yunxi in disbelief, then turned back to look at Song Wentian and Qin Xubai.
No, is there something wrong with his ears and he is hallucinating?
This little girl had never been so well-behaved and obedient as to call him "Uncle Master". He really couldn't believe it.
Qin Xubai gave him an affirmative answer: "Uncle Master, you heard it right."
Song Wentian also smiled: "Senior Brother, you heard it right."
After getting a definite answer, Emperor Qinglong smiled until his eyes narrowed together: "Xi girl, if the fourth brother bullies you in the future, I will come and tell my uncle, and my uncle will definitely take care of it for you."
[Although Master Gou loved and trusted the wrong person in his previous life, Heaven wants the Son and Daughter of Fortune to win, so everyone must be subject to Heaven's control. Isn't it the same for me? ]
[But regardless of past and present lives, Master Gou has never doubted Dad. Even when Concubine Shen kept whispering in his ear, he never wavered. He even allowed Dad to build Qingyun Pavilion in the place where dragon energy gathered. He agreed without asking for the reason and even went against everyone's opinion to clear all obstacles for Dad...]
[Uncle Gou probably would never have thought that my father built Qingyun Pavilion for me.]
[The previous life was to allow me to be reborn, and this life is to find back my soul that was beaten to pieces. ]
[Just for this reason, I have to be nicer to Master Dog! ]
[From now on I swear I will never call him Uncle Dog again! ]
So that was how it was. Emperor Qinglong suddenly realized.
No wonder his junior brother, who never asked him for anything, would ask him to build Qingyun Pavilion. Although he had never doubted it, he was quite curious about why his junior brother insisted on building Qingyun Pavilion.
It was only because I understood my junior brother's character and knew that if he didn't want to talk, no matter how much I asked, it would be useless, so I suppressed my curiosity and didn't ask.
Now that he knew the purpose, he felt sorry for Song Yunxi. That girl was actually frightened to death by that bastard Wei Xian.
And he won't let go of that bastard Ye Xuanrong and Shen Zhikang and Song Muxue!
but……
Emperor Qinglong looked at Song Yunxi with some resentment. This naughty girl said she didn't call him Uncle Dog, but she called him that a lot in her heart!
In just this moment, how many times did she scream?
Wei Xian was finally dealt with, and Emperor Qinglong was truly relieved.
"Wen Tian, given Wei Xian's status, he should be the backbone of the Wei family. Now that he is dead, the remnants of the Wei family have also scattered like monkeys when the tree falls, and there is no threat anymore."
Song Wentian shook his head and said, "Brother, according to my secret investigation over the years, Wei Xian is a very scheming person. He has many offspring. Although he is over a hundred years old, he has the secret medicine of the Wei family, so he still had offspring twenty years ago."
puff!
Although others were shocked, Emperor Qinglong was shocked and full of expectation: "Wen Tian knows what secret medicine that is?"
If he had that secret medicine, could he have given birth to a few more children?
Song Wentian was speechless at his senior brother's train of thought, and said helplessly, "Senior brother, that kind of medicine is harmful to your body."
If Wei Xian had not used that secret medicine, the achievements he would have achieved with his talent would never have been so great. Wei Xian's talent was to the point that even he was amazed.
After hearing what Song Wentian said, Emperor Qinglong waved his hand and said, "I was just asking casually... just asking casually."
He didn't dare ask about that kind of thing again, let alone use it.
Song Wentian smiled and said, "The medicine Xi'er prescribed for you is all for longevity, so you don't have to worry about your health."
Everyone is afraid of death, and Emperor Qinglong is no exception. He still wants to see the prosperous era when Jin'an unifies the world in the future!
After returning to Qingyun Pavilion from Chongzheng Hall, Song Yunxi remained silent, and Song Wentian naturally noticed that something was wrong with her.
But before he could say anything, Song Yunxi had already thrown herself into his arms: "Dad, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I'm sorry for you and my brothers."
My father and brothers are all chosen by heaven. If it weren’t for her, how could they give up their own luck and even their lives?
Song Wentian had already learned everything from Ye Xuanqi. He just patted her on the back and comforted her softly, "We did all this willingly. How can we blame you?"
Qin Xubai also said: "Xiao Si, we are a family. If it were us who were in trouble, you would also do everything you can, right?"
Although this is true, whenever she thinks of the tragic endings of her brothers in her dreams, she wishes she could travel back in time to stop them.
The news of Wei Xian's death soon spread to Northern Chu. The death of the great wizard caused chaos among the people of Northern Chu. Even the court officials lost interest in fighting for power and all became hopeless.
It was also during this opportunity that the Zhenbei Army received an order from the Crown Prince to launch an offensive against Northern Chu. However, in just over a month, they had reached the capital of Northern Chu.
Northern Chu sent envoys to deliver a letter of surrender and seek peace, along with a large number of rare treasures, expressing their willingness to submit to Jin'an for generations to come.
This was an unprecedented moment for Northern Chu to lower its posture, so humble that it seemed to be sinking into the dust.
"Northern Chu has evil ambitions. Seeking peace now is just a way of hiding and forbearing. Once the domestic political situation stabilizes, they will definitely strike back."
Ye Xuanqi's attitude towards Bei Chu was very clear: "Father, we must take this opportunity to take down Bei Chu in one fell swoop and eliminate the trouble forever."
There were people in the court who believed that a war would be a drain on Jin'an, and that the current state of Jin'an's treasury made it difficult to support a war, so they should stop and accept the surrender from Northern Chu.
Of course, some of them are members of the Sixth Prince’s party, and they will naturally obey the orders of their master.
But of course the prince's party follows Ye Xuanqi's lead, so the voices in favor of war are still the loudest in the court.
Emperor Qinglong naturally supported Ye Xuanqi's call for war.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is in favor of war, but if we continue to attack Northern Chu, where will the money for the war come from? The national treasury has long been in deficit..."
"All the money needed to attack Northern Chu is paid by me!"
No one expected Ye Xuanling to stand up and say, "Father, all military supplies for the attack on Northern Chu will be borne by this son."
Everyone knows that King Kang is good at business, and he has the wealthy imperial merchant Tong family behind him. It is not just a random statement that he wants to take on military supplies.
With Ye Xuanling's support, the voices of those in favor of peace became weaker and weaker. After all, they could not find any reason to oppose it anymore.
After the court was dismissed, Emperor Qinglong left behind several sons.
"Third brother, are you really willing to bear the military supply this time?"
In fact, Emperor Qinglong had already made up his mind long ago. The gold mined from the gold mine would be taken out in the name of Jiang Yanting. With that much gold in front of them, who would dare to object?
But before he could take out the gold, Ye Xuanling stepped forward and took responsibility for everything.
"Father, I was foolish in the past. Not only did I fail to share your worries and work hard for the country, I was also obsessed with my own love affairs. It was all my fault."
