Chapter 56 The Expedition to Northern Qi
Follow the pen of Pu Nan Shusheng and embark on an adventure in "Joy of Life: Ye Qingmei, the birth mother, raised by Li Yunrui" on Kele Novels.
"From this day forward, no one is permitted to provoke Ye Tian!"
"Anyone who disobeys will be executed!"
He knew that he must not act rashly without absolute certainty.
Otherwise, it will only alert the enemy and cause trouble for yourself!
Upon hearing this, Hong Sixiang's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly bowed and replied, "This old servant obeys the decree."
He knew that His Majesty was temporarily holding back.
But he also knew that this was just a brief calm before the storm.
An even bigger storm is brewing.
Ye Tian, this grandmaster who is only thirteen years old, will become the center of this storm, and the greatest enemy of Emperor Qing in his life!
···········
The atmosphere in the Imperial Study remained oppressive.
Emperor Qing's face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm.
His deep eyes were filled with apprehension at Ye Tian's monstrous strength, as well as a hint of barely concealed killing intent.
However, reason told him that now was not the time to completely break ties with Ye Tian.
Taking rash action not only carries a slim chance of success, but could also drag oneself and the entire Qing Kingdom into an abyss of no return.
"His Majesty,"
Seeing Emperor Qing's dilemma and indecisive state, Hong Sixiang's eyes flickered slightly, and he offered his advice again.
"This old servant believes that since we cannot get rid of Ye Tian for the time being, we might as well try a different approach."
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing raised an eyebrow slightly, signaling Hong Sixiang to continue.
A cold glint flashed in Hong Sixiang's eyes as he said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, that Ye Tian, although powerful, is also unruly."
"But after all, he is young and impetuous, and, in name, he is still a citizen of my Qing Kingdom."
"We can keep him calm for now."
"We could even offer him some incentives to make him work for my Qing Kingdom!"
"To serve my Qing Kingdom?" Emperor Qing sneered upon hearing this. "Hmph! Do you think that kind of monster would willingly submit to someone else and serve me?"
"He dares to openly defy my decrees, and he even dares to break your legs in public, you old dog!"
"You still expect him to risk his life for me?"
Upon hearing this, Hong Sixiang put on a fawning smile and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down."
"What I mean is that we can use him to deal with another enemy."
"For example, the Northern Qi dynasty!"
"Northern Qi?" Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing's eyes flickered slightly.
He knew that the Northern Qi and the Southern Qing had always been sworn enemies.
Friction continues between the two countries, and the flames of war occasionally reignite.
If we could direct Ye Tian, this "sharp blade," towards Northern Qi,
That was undoubtedly a plan to kill two birds with one stone!
This will both deplete Ye Tian's strength and weaken the power of Northern Qi!
"You mean, let Ye Tian lead the troops to attack Northern Qi?" Emperor Qing looked at Hong Sixiang and asked thoughtfully.
Hong Sixiang nodded and said, "Exactly!"
"Your Majesty may issue a decree to bestow upon Ye Tian the title of King, granting him unparalleled glory and power!"
"Then, under the pretext of Northern Qi provoking the border, send him with a large army to the northern frontier to defend against foreign enemies!"
"In that case, Ye Tian will surely be moved to tears and willing to die for His Majesty!"
"And we can sit back and watch them fight it out, letting them both suffer heavy losses!"
"Once they're exhausted from fighting, we'll reap the benefits!"
Hong Sixiang's voice was full of treachery and cunning.
As Emperor Qing listened to Hong Sixiang's plan, his eyes gradually brightened.
He had to admit that Hong Sixiang, that old eunuch, sometimes did some stupid things.
But when it comes to scheming and plotting, he is quite clever.
This "borrowing a knife to kill someone, using a tiger to devour a wolf" strategy is indeed killing two birds with one stone, and is ingenious beyond words!
just,
To appoint Ye Tian as king?
Emperor Qing was still somewhat unwilling.
After all, Ye Tian is Ye Qingmei's son.
Moreover, he is a prodigy with unfathomable strength and boundless ambition!
If he were truly made king and given military power...
Wouldn't that be like raising a tiger to cause endless trouble?!
However, at this point, it seems he has no better choice.
Getting rid of Ye Tian would be too risky and too costly.
It would be virtually impossible to completely control Ye Tian.
Since that's the case, it's better to keep him calm for now, make use of him, and let him go to clear some obstacles for ourselves!
"That's enough."
Emperor Qing sighed inwardly, a helpless yet cold smile appearing on his face.
"Let's do as you say."
He looked at Hong Sixiang and said calmly.
"Issue my decree."
"Ye Tian is hereby appointed King of Qin!"
"He will be granted a fief of ten thousand households, bestowed with a gold seal and purple ribbon, and enjoy the honors of a prince!"
"He is hereby ordered to lead an army of 100,000 to the northern border in three days to resist the barbarians of Northern Qi and to uphold the prestige of our Great Qing!"
This imperial edict can be described as a combination of kindness and severity, killing two birds with one stone!
Ye Tian was given both unparalleled glory and power, as well as a perilous mission with a slim chance of survival!
Emperor Qing wanted to see if this thirteen-year-old Grandmaster could return from the Northern Border alive!
.
When the news that Emperor Qing had conferred the title of Prince of Qin upon Ye Tian and ordered him to lead troops on a northern expedition spread throughout the capital.
Everyone was completely stunned!
Scared of urine!
The King of Qin?!
A thirteen-year-old King of Qin?!
This is absolutely unprecedented!
It should be noted that there has never been such a young prince in the history of the Qing Kingdom!
What's more, he's a powerful prince who commands 100,000 troops!
Just who exactly is this Ye Tian?!
Just what kind of extraordinary background and power does he possess?!
How could His Majesty value him so highly and bestow upon him such an extraordinary title?!
In an instant, the entire city of Kyoto was plunged into tremendous shock and panic because of this news!
Those officials who had grudges against Ye Tian or who had spoken ill of him in secret were terrified and lived in constant fear!
They were terrified that this newly crowned Prince of Qin would settle scores with them one by one later!
But deep within the palace.
When Empress Guo, who had long been banished to the cold palace, heard this news, she completely broke down!
She knew that she had no chance of turning her life around.
What awaits her is an endless torment and despair that is even more terrible than death!
She even began to regret why she had ever made an enemy of Ye Qingmei!
Why provoke this evil star who is even more terrifying and monstrous than his mother!
Unfortunately, there's no going back in this world.
She could only wait in endless regret and fear for the final judgment of fate.
Meanwhile, inside the Princess's residence.
When Li Yunrui learned that Ye Tian had been appointed as the Prince of Qin and was about to lead an army on a northern expedition...
My heart was filled with mixed emotions.
They felt proud and happy for Ye Tian.
There was also worry and reluctance regarding Ye Tian's upcoming expedition to the northern border.
Furthermore, they deeply feared Emperor Qing's unfathomable scheming and methods!
She knew that Emperor Qing's move, seemingly a reward for Ye Tian, actually concealed a deadly intent!
The northern battlefield is fraught with danger, where survival is a matter of life and death!
Emperor Qing clearly intended to use someone else to kill Ye Tian, ensuring that Ye Tian would never return!
"Brother, you are truly heartless!"
Li Yunrui cursed inwardly, his eyes filled with resentment towards Emperor Qing and a sense of powerlessness.
She knew that although she was a princess, she had absolutely no say in matters of national importance.
All she could do was silently pray for Ye Tian in her heart.
We pray that he will be victorious and return safely.
I also pray that he won't forget that in Kyoto, there is a woman who loves him deeply, waiting for him patiently.
··········
The news that Ye Tian had been appointed as the Prince of Qin and was about to lead an army on a northern expedition caused a huge uproar in the capital like a hurricane.
Inside the Princess's residence, Li Yunrui's emotions were turbulent and restless.
She looked at the young man before her, who was about to don a royal title, wield heavy troops, and rush to the battlefield. Her beautiful phoenix eyes were filled with complex yet fervent emotions.
There was pride, joy, worry, and reluctance, but more than anything, there was an almost obsessive infatuation and possessiveness!
"Tian'er,"
Li Yunrui's voice trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.
She reached out her slender hand and gently stroked Ye Tian's handsome face, her eyes filled with infatuation.
"Are you really leaving?"
"Going there, to the cold and dangerous North?"
Her voice carried a hint of pleading and a touch of pitiful pleas.
Looking at her tearful appearance, Ye Tian sighed inwardly.
He knew that his crazy foster mother was completely and irrevocably in love with him.
"Mother, I cannot disobey the emperor's command."
Ye Tian said softly, his tone tinged with helplessness.
"Moreover, as a son of the Qing Kingdom, protecting our home and country is also a responsibility that we should fulfill."
He knew that Emperor Qing's actions were undoubtedly driven by malicious intent.
However, he was not without his own plans.
The Northern Territory might become the starting point for his true rise and complete liberation from Emperor Qing's control!
"But on the battlefield, swords and spears have no eyes!"
Li Yunrui's eyes were filled with worry and fear.
"What if, what if something happens to you, Mother, what will Mother do?"
As she spoke, her eyes involuntarily reddened.
That pitiful, tear-streaked appearance was enough to make any man fall for her and soften his heart.
Ye Tian looked at her, and his heart stirred slightly.
He reached out and gently pulled Li Yunrui into his arms, softly comforting her, "Mother, don't worry."
"My child, you are not a weakling who cannot even kill a chicken."
"These mere barbarians from Northern Qi are no match for me."
"I assure you, I will surely return victorious and safe."
His voice was full of confidence and a hint of barely perceptible gentleness.
Nestled in Ye Tian's embrace, which, though slightly frail, exuded a sense of security, Li Yunrui felt his unique and captivating aura, and the worry and fear in her heart gradually subsided.
She knew that her man was always true to his word and would create miracles.
Perhaps, he really will be able to return in triumph.
just,
The thought of Ye Tian leaving her for the distant and dangerous northern border filled her heart with endless reluctance and an indescribable emptiness.
She was afraid, afraid that she would lose this, the only light in her life, forever.
"Tian'er,"
Li Yunrui suddenly raised her head, her beautiful phoenix eyes burning with fierce flames!
She kissed Ye Tian's lips without hesitation!
That kiss was passionate and frantic, filled with possessiveness and despair!
It was as if he wanted to completely integrate Ye Tian into his own bones and blood!
.
Control Yuan.
As Chen Pingping listened to his spies' report about Ye Tian being appointed Prince of Qin and about to lead an army on a northern expedition, a complex and unfathomable light flashed in his deep eyes.
"King of Qin,"
"Hehe, Your Majesty, you really think highly of him."
A cold smile curved Chen Pingping's lips.
He knew, of course, that Emperor Qing's actions, though ostensibly a reward, were in reality a pampering that would ultimately destroy him!
The northern battlefield is fraught with danger, where survival is a matter of life and death!
Emperor Qing clearly intended to use someone else to kill Ye Tian, nipping this huge threat in the bud!
"but,"
A hint of relief and anticipation flashed in Chen Pingping's eyes.
"Tian'er has indeed grown up."
"It is astonishing that His Majesty is so wary of it, and that he has mobilized such a large force."
"Qingmei, if you are watching from heaven, you would surely be pleased to see your son so accomplished."
He knew that Ye Tian's trip was extremely dangerous.
But it is also full of opportunities!
If Ye Tian can establish himself in the Northern Territory, build military merit, and cultivate his own power through his own strength,
Then he will have the means to confront Emperor Qing head-on in the future!
Even, replace it!
"Pass on my orders!"
Chen Pingping's voice suddenly turned icy cold and filled with murderous intent!
"From this day forward, all forces of the Overwatch Council in the Northern Territory shall fully cooperate with His Highness Prince Qin!"
"Whether it's intelligence or assassination!"
"Make sure His Highness the Prince of Qin is absolutely safe in the Northern Frontier!"
"And we must also help His Highness the King of Qin achieve a resounding victory and enhance our nation's prestige!"
He knew that this time, he had placed all his bets on Ye Tian!
If we win, then the future will be bright and limitless!
