Lord Chengfan listened to Changxiang's words and did not respond, he knew that if Changxiang returned to Thousand Winds City, she would be greeted by a prison sentence. Lord Chengfan has always believed that the country of the Eastern Empire must not fall into the hands of a woman, and Princess Changxiang dares to call herself the empress, which is against the heavens. Now the main reason why Chengfan surrenders to her is to protect the coffin of the first emperor. Therefore, when facing Changxiang, he obeyed her and did not dare to have any neglect and disrespect.

Lord Chengfan and the Chief Blade Priest had already discussed everything, and they were waiting for the opportunity to return to Thousand Winds City, bring Changxiang back to the Imperial City, and ask the new Emperor Xuan to punish him. Although in Seungbeom's view, the best successor to the throne should be Hyun Cheng's son Hyun Po, but at the moment, the situation in the DPRK and China is chaotic, Hyun Po is young, and if the throne is inherited by Hyun Po, the situation may be even more turbulent. Therefore, Lord Chengfan has also recognized Xuan Cheng as the new emperor, at least to preserve the inheritance of the dragon vein.

Seeing that Cheng Fan didn't speak, Chang Xiang asked him, "Cheng Fan Aiqing, do you think with our troops, can we defeat King Cheng?" ”

Cheng Fan arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, this matter should be asked to General Wuxiong, the minister does not know the combat strength of the two sides. ”

Changxiang nodded and said, "Okay, the matter of returning to Thousand Winds City, Rong Zhen will think about it again." ”

After saying that, they returned to the main hall of the Fushou Hall, and Sangya had stopped crying and knelt quietly in front of the coffin.

Changxiang looked at Sang Ya and said lightly, "Just let her be here for a while." ”

Subsequently, Changxiang left the Fushou Hall alone and went to the main hall of the court, where Shaoling was being guarded by the guards in the side hall of the court.

When she was about to interrogate Shaoling again, Wuxiong came to the main hall of the court, first saluted Changxiang, and then said: "Your Majesty, the two hundred forbidden troops from Thousand Winds City are still outside the city gate, what should I do?" ”

Changxiang said: "There is no need to rush to deal with those soldiers, General Wuxiong, I have something to ask you, do you think we can defeat King Cheng?" ”

General Wuxiong stood up, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although our troops are not as good as those of King Cheng, we have the advantage of terrain and familiarity with the local situation. As long as we can make full use of these advantages and work out reasonable tactics, it is possible to defeat Chengwang. ”

"I didn't say that I was in Heavenly Snow City, I said that we led our troops to attack Thousand Winds City, what are the chances of victory?" Changxiang asked.

"This ...... The minister did not dare to speak falsely. The Wuxiong sighed.

Changxiang nodded, and then instructed the guards behind him: "You go to the Fushou Hall and call the few adults who are guarding the spirits there!" ”

After a while, several adults who were guarding the spirit in the Fushou Hall just now came to the main hall of the court, including Lord Chengfan and the chief swordsman, and after kneeling down and kowtowing, they respectfully said in unison: "Your Majesty!" ”

"Get up, today you have to discuss whether or not you want to return to Thousand Winds City, and you all have your opinions." Changxiang Road.

One of the officials bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't think it's a wise choice to return to Thousand Winds City. King Cheng's army has already captured Thousand Winds City, and if we go back, we will only face an even more dire situation. Moreover, most of the military power of the Eastern Empire is controlled by King Cheng, and if we return to Thousand Winds City, we are afraid that we will fall into the trap of King Cheng. ”

Another official also said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that we should continue to stay in Heavenly Snow City, strengthen our defenses, and wait for the time to come. Now that the Eastern Empire is suffering from internal and external troubles, once there is a split within the king or an external attack, we can take the opportunity to fight back. ”

Cheng Fan arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister still thinks that now is the best time for us to return to Thousand Winds City, and King Cheng has already established himself as emperor. Prime Minister Liang Yu also followed him, and from the current point of view, they have become the new court of the Eastern Empire. Although Her Majesty has also declared herself the Empress in Heavenly Snow City, in the eyes of King Cheng and his henchmen, we are just a puppet regime that does not dare to return to the capital, and if we continue to stay in Heavenly Snow City, King Cheng may take more drastic action against us. We can pretend to submit to King Cheng and then return to Thousand Winds City, and we can use our strengths to regroup and win more supporters to lay a solid foundation for the elimination of King Cheng and his henchmen. ”

The blade said: "The slave maid is just a general who serves the first emperor, and he does not understand political and military matters, so I ask Your Majesty for forgiveness." As for whether or not to return to Thousand Winds City, the slave agreed with Lord Cheng Fan that now was the best time to return to Thousand Winds City. ”

After several adults finished their opinions, Changxiang nodded. Instructed the guards around him: "You go to the side hall and bring Shaoling!" The guard was ordered to leave. After a while, Shaoling came to Changxiang and knelt down in front of him and said, "Slave see Your Majesty." ”

Changxiang said: "Get up, Shaoling, do you think that if I lead my troops to attack Thousand Winds City, I will win the battle of King Cheng?" ”

"Bringing troops?" Shao Ling hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, the slave thinks that Your Majesty has a brave general like Wuxiong, and he will definitely win the battle against King Cheng." ”

Changxiang said: "You tell the adults about the plan you told me before. ”

"Yes, the minion told Your Majesty before, although King Cheng has established himself as Emperor and occupied the Thousand Winds City. But as far as the minions knew, he had not yet found the heirloom jade seal of the Eastern Empire. Without the jade seal of the country, he would not be an emperor in the real sense, he was just a puppet emperor and did not get real power. Now only the Chief Blade Warrior knows where the Jade Seal of the Heirloom Country is, and the Chief Blade Commander is currently in Heavenly Snow City, so His Majesty has the best chance of getting the Jade Seal of the Heirloom Kingdom first. Moreover, when the first emperor died, he did not leave an edict, so His Majesty can issue a holy decree in the name of the first emperor, saying that before the first emperor died, he ordered the emperor's position to be passed on to Princess Changxiang. This move will definitely cause chaos in the world and make King Cheng lose the hearts of the people. At the same time, His Majesty can personally lead a large army to conquer King Cheng, defeat him, and recapture the Jade Seal of the Inheritance Kingdom, so that His Majesty will be the real empress. Shao Ling said slowly.

After listening to Shaoling's words, Lord Chengfan thought that there were many loopholes in Shaoling's strategy, including: Did King Cheng really not find the jade seal of the heirloom country? or if he has found it but does not want to hand it over; Does the Chief Blade Commander really know where the jade seal is? and whether she is willing to hand over the jade seal of the country to Changxiang; If Changxiang issued a decree in the name of the first emperor, did she have enough authority and the support of her subjects to realize this plan?

It can be inferred from this that this young spirit concubine, who now calls himself a "slave" to Changxiang, is definitely not really surrendering to Changxiang, he should be the same as most of the officials in Tianxue City now, and under the authority, they are all pretending to submit to this female emperor.

Changxiang asked, "Cheng Fan Aiqing, what do you think of his strategy?" ”

Cheng Fan hesitated: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is feasible. ”

Chang Xiang asked, "Rong Gao, the city lord of Heavenly Snow City, is he still unwilling to surrender to me?" ”

Wuxiong said: "Back to Your Majesty, Rong Gao has been imprisoned for many days, and he is still unwilling to submit to His Majesty. ”

Chang Xiang said: "The mouth is so hard, what does Lord Chengfan think should be done with those officials who are unwilling to surrender to me?" ”

Cheng Fan said: "According to the minister's opinion, the reason why those officials are unwilling to submit to His Majesty is mainly because they think that in the Eastern Empire, women cannot be emperors, and this kind of thinking is actually deeply ingrained among many officials in the Eastern Empire and is difficult to change. Therefore, they would rather be in prison than choose to compromise. Why don't you go to the prison from the ministers, persuade them, and tell them the benefits of following Your Majesty, what does Your Majesty think? ”

Changxiang nodded and said, "If you can really persuade them, you can try, if they still think like that, then kill them all!" ”

Cheng Fan arched his hand and said: "Yes, the minister obeys the order!" ”

Changxiang Zhengse said: "I have often dreamed of the first emperor recently, and the first emperor said that he wanted to go home and didn't want to wander outside. If I don't send the coffin of the first emperor back to Thousand Winds City for burial, how can I feel at ease? Therefore, I decided to return to the City of Thousand Winds in three days to eliminate King Cheng and his henchmen. After arriving in the City of a Thousand Winds, I will remain filial piety for the first emperor for three years, in order to express my condolences to the first emperor's spirit in the sky, so as to relieve the thoughts of the people. He paused and continued: "General Wuxiong, this time I will return to Thousand Winds City, and you will lead 300,000 soldiers and horses as the vanguard army to attack Thousand Winds City and kill King Cheng who is plotting to usurp the throne on the spot. ”

Wuxiong clenched his fists and received the order, and said loudly: "The minister receives the order!" ”

Shao Ling inadvertently showed a look of doubt, but he quickly covered it up. In Shaoling's opinion, if Changxiang wants to return to Thousand Winds City, he will definitely die, and fighting against the soldiers of Thousand Winds City is undoubtedly an act of death.

Shaoling saluted and said: "Your Majesty, can the slave take the coffin of the leading emperor back to Thousand Winds City first, because the slave thinks so, I think the first emperor does not want to see the scene of killing each other in the imperial family of the Eastern Empire, so the coffin must not return to Thousand Winds City with the army." ”

Changxiang said: "You are right, but I don't believe you, who knows if you really surrendered to me, or if you surrendered to me in order to save your life." ”

"Of course, the slave is sincerely subordinate to His Majesty, and the minister believes that only His Majesty can become the emperor of the Eastern Empire in this world." Shaoling knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Chang Xiang said: "Don't say it, let Master Chengfan and the chief of the blades lead two hundred soldiers, and take the coffin of the leading emperor back to Thousand Winds City tomorrow, how about it?" ”

Hearing this, Cheng Fan and the blade warrior were overjoyed and agreed one after another.

Shao Ling said: "Your Majesty, can the two hundred forbidden soldiers who came from Thousand Winds City with the minions go back with Lord Cheng Fan tomorrow?" ”

Changxiang nodded and said, "Okay! It will be arranged by Lord Chengfan and will leave early tomorrow morning. ”

At that moment, Cheng Fan first came to the prison of Tianxue City and found the city lord of Rong Gao, who at first thought that he was an accomplice of Changxiang's henchmen and sneered at him. But Lord Chengfan told Rong Gao: "Lord Rong Gao, the current situation we are in is very critical, this official is not an accomplice of Changxiang's henchmen, this official and most of the officials in Tianxue City are pretending to submit to Changxiang, how can Princess Changxiang become the emperor of our Eastern Empire?" And judging from her words and deeds, she has no opinion on the country's political, economic and other aspects of development, and she is not a master who is good at using her talents, so if she is allowed to be the emperor, I am afraid that the country will be in chaos, and the people will not be able to survive at that time. The Japanese officials of the Ming Dynasty will escort the coffin of the first emperor back to Thousand Winds City together with the chief of the blades, and Changxiang will also leave here three days later, so the position of the city lord of Tianxue City will still be the city lord of Ronggao. After finishing speaking, Cheng Fan told Rong Gao in detail what he had seen. After some conversation, Rong Gao also decided that he would pretend to surrender to Changxiang, which would not only ensure the safety of his family, but also help clear the power of Princess Changxiang in Tianxue City.
