Chapter 914: Confrontation with the Emperor

Since the war in Lingnan started, the emperor has issued three edicts in a row to summon Yan Mu to return to the capital, but Yan Mu not only did not come back, but also replied to the emperor's words: He will never return to the capital if he cannot defeat the enemy enemy in Southern Jin.

The court did not provide Lingnan with a single military pay, and the court did not provide relief to those victims who were displaced due to war, as if they had already let Lingnan die.

This time when he entered the palace, the emperor would send his anger to her. Liu Yunxiang was ready, but no matter how much preparation was made, it would be difficult to resist the pressure of the imperial power.

Get off the car at the gate of the palace. What surprised Liu Yunxiang was that Grand Secretary Wu Min and Mr. Wu and more than a dozen ministers were guarding the door. When she saw her getting off the carriage, she hurried forward to salute.

"Mr. Wu, are you?" Liu Yunxiang glanced at the ministers and asked.

"Crown Princess, because of the war in Lingnan, the emperor was furious in the court many times, and even said bluntly that the prince disobeyed the saint's order and was deposed as his position as the prince, and escorted back to the capital. Now the prince is in Lingnan, and you are back alone.

Now, the emperor will definitely not let you go easily. I will accompany you to the palace with you. Even if I lose my black hat, I will definitely protect you." Wu Min said.

"Yes, the prince devotes his entire life to the great honor, and we ministers cannot retreat!"

"We work together to protect you, and the emperor must also consider it."

All the ministers said something, Liu Yunxiang raised his hand and pressed it down, letting everyone listen to her first.

"I know what you want, but the emperor summoned only one person in this palace. The ministers insisted on entering the palace together, which would inevitably make the emperor unhappy. If you really want to help me, please wait here. I will come to the palace to meet you first.

Emperor, if there is any accident, please help me, then." Liu Yunxiang looked at the ministers and said.

She wanted to survive, so she did not reject the good intentions of the ministers, but she had to try first whether she could convince the emperor.

Wu Min nodded, "We listen to the Crown Princess. If the Emperor wants to send you a message, we can hurry up at the gate of the palace."

"Okay, I'll thank you all in advance."

With the eyes of the ministers, Liu Yunxiang took Zijin and Feng Zheng into the palace and came to the Shangshu. Outside the Shangshu, she saw the fourth prince Qin Shengrui walking out of it.

He stood on the steps and looked down at her, proudly wearing a spring breeze.

Yan Mu completely offended the emperor, and Qin Shengrui fell into the emperor's eyes again, probably thinking that the throne was his own.

"Oh, Liu, you are really good at raising a lot of food and money for Lingnan all the way north. But have you forgotten that the emperor simply disagrees with the war with Southern Jin. You raise food and money privately, this is a serious crime of arbitrary power!



"Fourth Prince, what crime does this palace have? You can't just decide it casually." Liu Yunxiang said coldly.

"Rely on Yan Mu?" Qin Shengrui sneered, "Just wait for him to return to Beijing, the emperor will definitely destroy him and then chop his head!"

"The emperor wants to depose him, there is no need to wait for him to return to Beijing, right?"

"What do you mean?"

Liu Yunxiang shook her head and smiled, "The Fourth Prince is still so brainless."

"you!"

No longer talking nonsense with Qin Shengrui, Liu Yunxiang walked up to the study room. The eunuch went in to report and soon came out to lead her in. As soon as she entered the door, a volume of edict was thrown in front of her.

"This is the fourth edict I have personally drafted. Before I have sent it to Lingnan, I will ask you first, is he willing to return to Beijing?"

This sound was said by gritting teeth. Looking at the emperor again, his face was full of anger, his eyes were filled with ruthlessness.

Liu Yunxiang knelt down and bowed, and at the same time took the edict up. She straightened her back and faced the emperor.

"Does the emperor hope the prince will return to Beijing or not?"

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "Rare, how dare you question me!"

"Now in spring, the war in Lingnan is intensifying, and the prince is leading troops to confront the army of Southern Jin. If you ask him to let go of the war and return to Beijing, he will be relaxed. But once he returns to Beijing, Lingnan will be completely lost, and you think Southern Jin's

If you have only such a big appetite, can you eat the thirteen cities in Lingnan? No, they will continue to go north, seize the south of the Yangtze River, and then cross the Yangtze River, and only force Shengjing."

Speaking of this, Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath.

"In less than three months, you will have to flee from the imperial city in a hurry, but where can you escape?"

"Rareless! Rare! Come and take the Crown Princess!"

"Emperor!" Liu Yunxiang shouted angrily, "If you kill me, no one will raise military funds for Lingnan. Lingnan will be defeated, and Southern Jin will directly suppress Shengjing!"

"You, do you really think you're so great?"

"I'm not that great. Let me ask you, the emperor, is Darong's treasury enough to support the war in Lingnan?"

The emperor gritted his teeth hard, and there was nothing enough or not. The treasury was empty, and even if you threw a copper plate in, you could make a sound.

And as Liu Yunxiang said, he did not have to summon Yan Mu back to Beijing, he wanted him to retreat to Jiangzhou and ced the thirteen cities of Lingnan to Southern Jin to calm the anger of Southern Jin.

But he was willing to cede the thirteen cities in Lingnan to Nanjin, but he could not make it public, otherwise the people in the world would curse him, so he wanted to push Yan Mu out, but he tore up the alliance and started the war first.

.

Now that I am in this situation, I can’t win or lose.

"You are whimsical and putting Darong in danger, and you think you are very smart and righteous." The emperor stared at Liu Yunxiang, "Do you think you can really win this battle?"

"At the moment we have no choice but to give all our national strength and must win."

"Do all the national strength?" The emperor sneered, "It is impossible, the court will never support Lingnan!"

"Then please don't stop me from raising food and money, and don't issue an edict to the prince to return to Beijing. Lingnan is too far, you can't see that far, you can't feel the crisis over there, and you can't enjoy the current prosperity.

good."

"Who gave you the courage to say such a ruthless thing to me! You... cough cough..." The emperor was so angry that his beard trembled, his face turned blue, and he coughed continuously.

"The emperor takes good care of his health. Only when you are in charge of the court can your highness be relaxed in Lingnan."

The emperor narrowed his eyes, "Even if he wins a battle, do you think I will spare him?"

"You have to cross the river and demolish it first. What the emperor can do is not hurry and wait for the result."

The emperor was furious and even if he didn't kill Liu Yunxiang, he would still make her suffer. But the palace guards came to report that Lord Wu and other ministers were guarding at the palace gate.

"What are they going to do?" the emperor asked angrily.

"It seems like I'm waiting for the crown princess."

"I think I won't take off their black hats if I turn them back?"

"Emperor, there were only a dozen ministers at first, but now there are almost ordinary court officials, and there are also people who come after hearing the news."

The emperor clenched his fists and wanted to take off the black hats of these court officials, the court would be in chaos.

He gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger, "You have worked hard all the way back from Lingnan. Let's go back to the royal palace to rest first."

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath, "Thank you Your Majesty, my wife will leave the palace first."

"You can also raise food and money for Lingnan, but don't make the treasury!"

"My wife knows."

Liu Yunxiang stepped back and pushed to the door of the study room, and she remembered something again.
