Qiu Jianhan chuckled dryly. "You don't have to worry, but this is a difficult problem for me to deal with. If he were ten years old and knew how to differentiate between good and evil, it wouldn't be too difficult to deal with even though there are problems. However, a child of only two and a half years old … "
"Those women in the palace and the people of the royal family, they may only be idiots when it comes to fighting on the battlefield, but when it comes to fighting for power, scheming, and fighting for favor, they are the most ruthless people in the world. Killing in a joking manner, sweet-mouthing, betraying the alliance and being merciless … these are the most common, most common things to do … "
Qiu Jianhan chuckled humorlessly. "This old man isn't willing to talk about this, but if you've decided to hand the child over to me to train and teach, this old man has no choice but to talk about it."
Yun Yang nodded slowly.
"This child's existence is a direct threat to all the princes, especially His Highness the crown prince, the current emperor! This will undoubtedly infuriate the entire palace! "
Qiu Jianhan lifted his head to look at Yun Yang. "The immediate consequence is that all the factions will join hands to deal with him, to target him! They will go all out to target him! "
Yun Yang smiled meaningfully. "This is not a problem. Wouldn't it solve the problem once and for all if all the factions were to be wiped out?"
"…"
Qiu Jianhan was stunned. With his decades of experience and knowledge, he could think of at least a dozen effective and constructive answers, but he had never thought of such a plan!
Wipe out all the factions?
So extreme?
One had to know that these factions, their manpower, forces, and even their armies were already a shocking number, even if one were to disregard their combat power!
The number was enough to damage Yutang's foundation. How could they be wiped out so easily?
Yun Yang chuckled softly.
"I've given you the solution, and the most important message has been conveyed." Yun Yang stood up. "Old Marshal, I'll leave the rest to you to decide. I'll come back within two or three days."
The old marshal sprung up like his bottom was on fire and said angrily, "You're throwing such a huge matter to me and you're leaving just like that? Are you f * cking playing rogue with this old man? "
Yun Yang turned around and said, "It's a pleasure to show off in front of an expert. It's a pleasure to play the rogue with the leader of the capital's top three rogues, why not? I also feel that this matter is troublesome, but rather than being happy alone, it is better to be happy together. "
Qiu Jianhan was speechless again. What the f * ck, why not? What was there to be happy about? This was clearly an incomparable shock, okay?
"Where is the child now?" Qiu Jianhan asked.
"Of course, in a very, very safe place," said Yun Yang.
Qiu Jianhan was speechless. "I meant the exact location."
"This is not something you should know now. Forgive me for not telling you," Yun Yang said.
The sound of heavy breathing came from behind him. The old man was obviously about to explode from anger.
"It's important for you to sort out your thoughts and make a decision. There's no need to think too far ahead. It's even more meaningless. I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first." Yun Yang appeared in a flash, turning into a gust of wind right in front of the old marshal, drifting away through the gap of the sealed window.
"Should we report this matter to His Majesty now?" Qiu Jianhan asked immediately. This was actually what the old marshal wanted to know the most, hoping to get a definite answer.
After all, His Majesty the emperor had hoped more than anyone else that the eldest prince could have a descendant. If His Majesty were to know about this news, he would be elated at the most conservative estimate, even dancing with joy.
However, what answered him was only the howling of the chilly wind outside the window. It was obvious that Lord Supreme Wind had already left without a trace.
This meant that he did not care!
I've told you the news. If you want to inform His Majesty the emperor, go ahead. If you don't want to, don't. Everything is up to you.
"Bastard!"
Qiu Jianhan kicked the chair that Lord Supreme Wind had just sat on and glared at the old marshal. "Aren't you deliberately tormenting this old man? If Yu Peize knew that this old man didn't inform him about his eldest grandson at once, he would definitely make things difficult for this old man … "
The old marshal was agitated. He actually dared to call His Majesty the emperor by his name.
For a moment, he paced around the study like a headless fly; the more he walked, the more agitated he became.
The old marshal was already in a bad mood, and the war ahead had already made him feel as if he was treading on thin ice. Now, another shocking and rare thing had happened. Yet, the fellow who had informed him about this had run away just like that!
He had left everything to himself.
To inform His Majesty the emperor about the unfavorable consequences?
Putting aside the question of whether Supreme Wind would pursue his decision, just the thought of His Majesty's deep regret and remorse, would the emperor be overjoyed and dancing with joy if he knew about this? Perhaps not …
Old Marshal Qiu shuddered involuntarily, obviously frightened by some of his own thoughts.
Not telling His Majesty the emperor though? Temporarily hiding it?
If His Majesty were to find out about it in the future, his punishment would be secondary. Most importantly, this matter would definitely affect His Majesty the emperor's final plan and decision!
For a satisfactory successor and a dissatisfied successor, the arrangements and decisions made by the successor would be completely different, or even in completely opposite directions!
However, this matter should not be delayed. It was better to make a decision early and end it as soon as possible. Then …
"Sigh!"
No matter how much the old marshal did not want to sigh, he could not help but sigh heavily. He put on his clothes with a dark expression. Just as he was about to walk out, he realized that it was already past midnight.
Even if the old man had the authority to enter the palace at this time, he had to be mindful of the consequences, especially the attention of those with ulterior motives.
"Let's wait until tomorrow morning!"
"Let me think about it carefully. How can I minimize the impact and stimulation?"
Qiu Jianhan sat in the study, sighing for the entire night.
He had not thought of a solution until the morning assembly, causing him to be drowsy throughout the morning assembly.
…
During the morning court session, the Grand Court Assembly began.
His Majesty the emperor was glowing, looking hale and hearty and unusually energetic. Faced with the Empire of Dongxuan's incessant provocations at the border and the various enlistments in Dongxuan, all of them indicated that a great war was imminent!
Besides, Han Sanhe was obviously forced to the edge of a cliff this time and was in desperate need of a victory to redeem his reputation. He would definitely go all out and would not return without a victory!
To the Empire of Yutang, this was undoubtedly a huge test!
Fu Baoguo's war report had already arrived in the imperial court.
All the civil and military officials in the imperial court were listening to the report quietly.
"Dongxuan has mobilized the entire nation, a fierce battle is inevitable. Dongxuan's troop deployment this time will be of an unprecedented scale. Han Sanhe will go all out in this war due to the pressure. This official can only meet the enemy head-on. "
"However, the war this time is dangerous. This official dare not say that victory is certain. I can only fight with my life on the line."
"If this war is won, this official may be lucky enough to survive. If not, the day we break through will be the day this official dies!"
"Dongxuan is a powerful force. This official does not wish to say anything that would tarnish our army's reputation. I sincerely hope that the nation is prepared …"
The short letter did not contain any words about asking for help. There were only words of loyalty and passion.
Just by reading this letter, one could imagine Fu Baoguo's determination to fight to the death this time!
Once the letter was completed, the imperial court was silent for a long time.
Even some of the civil officials who usually treated the military generals with disdain were solemn at this moment.
The atmosphere now was filled with a sense of heroism!
No one, no organization, no force could point fingers at them! They could not be blamed!
"Reorganize the army and set off at any time!"
His Majesty the emperor came to a conclusion quickly and said loudly, "Yutang's hundreds of millions of men would rather die in battle than watch the eastern defense be defeated and the battlefront collapse!"
A few generals stepped forward together. "This official requests to be sent to war!"
"This official requests to be sent to war!"
"This official requests to be sent to war!"
"Fu Baoguo is not the only soldier in Yutang's military who will die!"
"This official requests to be sent to war! I dare to die!"
…
In the Golden Hall, the crowd was bubbling with passion and passion; it was an unprecedented spectacle.
The passionate passion contained in the letter and the courage to die had ignited the passion of all the martial men in the imperial court.
For a moment, these generals who had been on the battlefield and had been through hundreds of battles were exhilarated as if they had been injected with adrenaline.
"Fu Baoguo is not the only good man in Yutang!"
"There are countless men in the Empire of Yutang! When have we not fallen behind others?! "
"For the country and the people, what harm is there in dying in battle?"
"With this body, I am willing to protect the country and my family, until the day I die!"
Qiu Jianhan lifted his bewildered eyes to take a look amidst the chaos, wondering, "What are these people so worked up about? Why are they all so passionate? Sigh, how should I tell His Majesty about this? I'm so worried. "
The old marshal was bewitched.
His Majesty the emperor raised his hands and pressed them down gently. The entire hall was silent.
"Dongxuan has mobilized the entire nation to invade. Han Sanhe is personally leading the army and going all out. So what?" His Majesty the emperor looked at them proudly. "Yutang has hundreds of millions of hot-blooded men! Good men who aren't afraid of death! Why should we fear any challenge in this world? "
"The entire nation is mobilized to fight Dongxuan's Han Sanhe to the death!"
"To fight Dongxuan's Han Sanhe to the death!"
The crowd cheered after His Majesty the emperor, feeling their blood boil uncontrollably for a long time.
There was only one person who was in a daze, his mind unfocused. His eyes would stare at the ceiling of the hall sometimes, as if he was sleepwalking. Sometimes, he would lower his head as if he was worried about the nation and its people.
Many of them thought it was odd.
Why did they not hear the old marshal's roar today?
Was he not here?
After the court was dismissed.
His Majesty left Qiu Jianhan and Leng Daoyin, the two old marshals, to discuss matters alone. His Majesty was obviously preoccupied, not even noticing that Qiu Jianhan had been brought in like a walking corpse. His demeanor was definitely not normal.
Leng Daoyin, on the other hand, had been thinking about the war and did not notice it either.
Only the eunuchs and guards in the palace had noticed it.
Qiu Jianhan seemed to be drifting, following the emperor in a daze. He was like a wooden puppet, brought into the royal study in a daze.
The guards dared to bet that Old Marshal Qiu had no idea where he was right now!
