Lei Tengfeng bowed his head and said, "Thank you, father, for your guidance. This child's thinking was too simple."
Jhennam Of Gojoseon sighed softly and said, "You are still young." Even so, he still felt some regret. Tengfeng and Mo Xiuyao were about the same age, but in terms of ability and influence, he was far inferior to Mo Xiuyao. It wasn't that his son wasn't outstanding enough, but that Mo Xiuyao was too outstanding.
"Father, Mo Xiuyao's actions …" Lei Tengfeng frowned and said, "Mo Xiuyao doesn't seem to have any intention of ascending the throne."
Jhennam Of Gojoseon nodded and said, "If he had intended to ascend the throne, we wouldn't have come to Prince Ding's one-month birthday banquet, but directly to the coronation ceremony. This is where Mo Xiuyao is smart. Just watch, after the news from Ruyang City spreads, the entire Da Chu State will immediately lean toward the Prince Ding Mansion. But if Mo Xiuyao were to ascend the throne at this time, it would be very different. In many things, going too far is as bad as not going far enough. This also shows that Mo Xiuyao is not only outstanding in ability, but also has enough patience. In this world, not everyone can withstand the temptation of the throne. "
Lei Tengfeng was silent. In the history books, there were countless people who claimed to be kings after occupying a small piece of land. Later generations would only find it comical and laughable. But if one was really among them, how many people could withstand the doubts of the throne? Lei Tengfeng knew in his heart that at least he couldn't.
"Should we take this opportunity to send troops …"
Jhennam Of Gojoseon raised his hand and said, "Send orders back to the border of Xiling. The entire army is to retreat thirty li."
Lei Tengfeng didn't understand. "Father?"
Jhennam Of Gojoseon said in a low voice, "Let's negotiate with Mo Xiuyao." Lei Tengfeng frowned. "Mo Xiuyao's actions will definitely infuriate Mo Jingqi. Once Mo Jingqi sends his troops to the northwest, we will take advantage of the situation to invade. Why would Father want to negotiate with Mo Xiuyao? "Jhennam Of Gojoseon sneered disdainfully." Do you think Mo Xiuyao really dares to touch Mo Xiuyao? If he had the guts, he wouldn't have waited until today. So what if Mo Xiuyao didn't have that era name before? It was a fact that the Mohist army had occupied the Northwest. Mo Jingqi had no lack of reason to send troops to suppress them, but did he dare to? At most, Mo Xiuyao would only send a few troops for show. For the time being, Mo Xiuyao wouldn't bother with him. When the time comes, the Mohist army will turn around and target us. "
Lei Tengfeng said, "Our West Hill isn't afraid of the Mohist army."
Jhennam Of Gojoseon smiled. "That's right. We aren't afraid of the Mohist army. No matter how powerful the Mohist army is, they won't be able to wipe out the West Hill with just the strength of the Northwest. But if the Northern Tribes and the Southern Tribes interfere, will you be afraid? "None of them were easy to deal with. They weren't the only ones who knew how to loot a burning house.
Lei Tengfeng was silent.
The news of the Mohist army breaking off relations with the Da Chu State spread like the wind throughout the entire Da Chu State and the surrounding countries. The impact was so great that Mo Jingqi didn't expect it. Not only were the people who felt cheated dissatisfied with the court, but even the Prince, who had given orders to various regions, began to feel restless. Not to mention the increasing mobilization of troops in the surrounding countries. Not to mention the Northern Tribes, even some of the small tribes in the north began to provoke them at the border. Perhaps the officials in the Chu capital were still angrily cursing, but the people at the borders of the Da Chu State had personally experienced what losing the Mohist army meant to the Da Chu State.
"Mo Xiuyao! What a Mo Xiuyao … what a Prince Ding Mansion! One day, I will execute your entire family! "In the imperial study, Mo Jingqi crazily smashed the furnishings in the room. This time, he was completely helpless against Mo Xiuyao. Mo Xiuyao had thrown such a huge bomb at his son's one month birthday banquet. By the time the news reached the Chu capital, it would have spread throughout the world. Not to mention that Mo Jingqi wanted to refute or counterattack, there would be countless scholars who would collectively submit memorials to the court every day. Those memorials were more like questions than memorials. However, the evidence given by the northwest was conclusive, and there were no flaws in the reasoning. No matter how he argued, it would be useless. Every day, when Mo Jingqi saw the memorials, he couldn't help but have a headache. In the anger of being cheated by the ruler and the worry of losing the Mohist army, these scholars and people almost forgot the righteousness of the Prince Ding Mansion's declaration of independence from the Da Chu State.
"Come! Pass on Zhen's decree. Immediately mobilize an army of five hundred thousand to suppress the traitor Mo Xiuyao! "Mo Jingqi, who had lost his head in anger, roared loudly. Right now, he didn't want to think about anything. He only wanted to kill the Mohist army and kill everyone in the Prince Ding Mansion. Only then would he be able to vent the hatred in his heart.
Prime Minister Liu, who was standing in the corner, looked at Mo Jingqi's crazy appearance and frowned. He hesitated for a moment and advised, "Your Majesty, the Northern Tribes are eyeing the border covetously. The border between the southwest and West-Hill is not peaceful either. Also … Prince Ding … "Before he could finish, Mo Jingqi interrupted him," It's the traitor Mo Xiuyao! " Prime Minister Liu nodded and said, "Mo Xiuyao sent two hundred thousand Mohist army to guard Feihong Pass. If we want to … I'm afraid it won't be that easy. Emperor, please reconsider! " There were at least four hundred thousand Mohist army in the northwest. Although the military strength of the Da Chu State was several times that of the Mohist army, there were only a few who could really compete with the Mohist army. If they wanted to conquer the northwest, the Da Chu State had to be prepared to gamble with the whole country. But no matter how they looked at it, it was obviously not worth it.
How could Mo Jingqi not know this? It was because he understood this that he was even angrier.
"Get out! Get out! "Mo Jingqi roared angrily. He grabbed something on the table and threw it over. Prime Minister Liu was old. Although the flying inkstone didn't hit him, he was still shocked. Taking a look at Mo Jingqi, who was supporting himself on the table with an angry face, Prime Minister Liu's eyes darkened. He quickly stepped out.
In the Prince Ding Mansion, Ye Li took the letter from Zhuo Jing and raised her eyebrows. The letter was sent by Tan Jizhi. Naturally, it was to remind Ye Li that it was time to release Shu Manlin, who had been imprisoned by them for a long time. Although Shen Yang and Doctor Lin had verified that the Biluo Flower they brought back from the Chu capital was real, Ye Li still didn't care about Shu Manlin and didn't release her before the medicine was developed. Zhuo Jing asked, "Princess, should we reply?" Ye Li folded the letter with a smile and put it back. She said with a smile, "Tell Tan Jizhi that it's not that I don't want to release her, but that Princess Anxi of Nanzhao is now a guest in Li City. If she knows that the Saint of Nanjiang is here, it won't be good. Tell him to wait a few more days. As soon as Princess Anxi leaves the northwest, I will release her immediately. Tell him to rest assured that we haven't mistreated Shu Manlin in the past few months. "
Zhuo Jing nodded. He thought for a while and asked, "These days, various forces have been secretly running around in the northwest. Even the prince's mansion can't stay still. Should we release the news about the Imperial Jade Seal? "
Ye Li nodded in agreement and said with a smile, "Otherwise, why would I see Tan Jizhi in the northwest? Let's spread the news about Tan Jizhi's identity and the whereabouts of the Imperial Jade Seal. Also … he came to the northwest to get the Imperial Jade Seal and the treasure. Since he released the news himself, let him enjoy it now. "Zhuo Jing said with a smile," Princess is wise. " As long as he thought of Tan Jizhi being chased by various forces, Zhuo Jing couldn't help but be in a good mood. It was easy to feel happy when others were unlucky.
