Chapter 1161: Willing but Powerless
Yun Li has a headache now.
This should have been an easy matter to handle, but this bastard got hold of something on the court and Emperor Wen, putting them in a very passive position.
He even suspected that this bastard had planned this all along and had been waiting for the court here for a long time.
Listening to Yun Li's detailed explanation, Emperor Wen's brows furrowed more and more tightly, "This rebellious son has really caused a problem for the court! To be honest, I really hope he can use the money and food to fight against the Li Dynasty, but that rebellious son is not an easy person to deal with. No one knows what his next move will be..."
"Yes!"
Yun Li sighed, "I have too many concerns, so I can't make up my mind. I don't know what to do."
Emperor Wen rubbed his head tiredly, "Didn't the four regents come up with a solution to achieve the best of both worlds?"
Best of both worlds?
Yun Li smiled bitterly in his heart.
If there really was a way to have the best of both worlds, he would not have come to Emperor Wen.
"Ugh……"
Seeing Yun Li remained silent, Emperor Wen could not help but sigh: "I do have a way to break his trick, but unfortunately... Alas..."
As he spoke, Emperor Wen couldn't stop sighing.
However, listening to Emperor Wen's words, Yun Li felt as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
Does the emperor really have a solution?
If he could really uncover that bastard's trick, he would probably wake up laughing in his dreams!
"What's your plan, Father?"
Yun Li couldn't wait to ask.
"That's it!"
Emperor Wen waved his hands helplessly, "I'd better not say anything! This strategy is something that neither you nor the civil and military officials in the court would agree to! Besides, I am powerless now..."
Yun Li's heart twitched violently.
For a moment, he wanted to jump up and kick Emperor Wen twice.
He clearly has a solution, but he refuses to say it.
Isn't this just a way of amusing yourself?
"Father, please tell me."
Yun Li suppressed his urge to go crazy and said respectfully, "Whether it works or not, we can discuss it! Maybe your plan can provide me with some new ideas."
Emperor Wen sighed again and said with a wry smile, "Isn't he going to use the money and military supplies to fight against the Le Dynasty? I will personally go to supervise the war, so he can't not fight, right?"
As Emperor Wen finished speaking, Yun Li's eyelids suddenly jumped, and his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Emperor Wen.
Wonderful!
The Sixth Prince played a trick on them, but his father played a trick on him back!
My father is personally supervising the war, which means he is basically leading the army in person!
If that bastard Lao Liu doesn't fight, he will be despised by the world.
But if Yun Zheng fights against the Li Dynasty, casualties are inevitable!
It is possible that he consumed much more money and grain than the court gave him!
Isn't this equivalent to weakening the strength of that bastard in disguise?
In this way, that bastard will definitely not have the energy to cause trouble for himself and the court in the short term.
It would be even more perfect if Xiqu could take the opportunity to give that bastard a beating!
And I can also take this time to prepare the army in order to suppress this bastard militarily!
As long as the imperial court's military power can suppress that bastard, if that bastard wants to show its teeth to the imperial court again, it will have to face the imperial court's stick!
However, after a brief moment of joy, Yun Li's expression suddenly turned gloomy again.
Emperor Wen's health is already in this state, how could he possibly go to Shuobei to supervise the war in person?
Anyone who has this idea will definitely be drowned in the spit of civil and military officials in the court.
No wonder my father was reluctant to say it just now.
It’s like nothing was said.
It gives people hope, but also disappoints them.
This is more depressing than giving people no hope.
He is now more depressed than before.
Sorrow!
How sad!
"Ugh……"
Emperor Wen sighed deeply, "I'm afraid I can't do anything about this matter. You should discuss it with the ministers at the court meeting tomorrow!"
To be honest, Emperor Wen really wanted to supervise the war.
Even if he couldn't fight in the battlefield himself, he was happy to be able to stay in the army and watch Lao Liu expand the territory for Daqian and avenge the people of Yuzhou.
But he also knew that his physical condition did not allow him to be willful anymore.
If he runs to Shuobei now, he will probably die there.
Yun Li was feeling very depressed. Just as he was about to get up and leave, he suddenly had another thought.
"Father, if I order Duke Rong to supervise the battle, is that okay?"
Yun Li looked at Emperor Wen with anticipation, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"Then you might as well go and supervise the battle yourself."
Emperor Wen shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I am the emperor of Daqian. I will personally supervise the battle. That rebellious son and his troops have no choice but to fight! But what right do Qin Liu have to supervise the battle?"
"For such a big thing, do you think it can be resolved just by giving someone face?"
"To put it bluntly, if I were not the emperor of Daqian, he would not even give me face!"
After hearing what Emperor Wen said, the light in Yun Li’s eyes dimmed again.
Yes!
Why does Qin Liu dare to supervise the war?
In terms of identity, Yun Zheng is a prince, and his status is even higher than that of a duke.
In terms of military exploits, Yun Zheng had made outstanding military exploits. Although Qin Liugan also had outstanding military exploits, they were not comparable to Yun Zheng's at all.
Even if they dared to arrange an imperial envoy status for Qin Liu, Yun Zheng probably wouldn't care.
After all, Yun Zheng even dared to bully himself, the Crown Prince who was the Regent, so how could he care about an imperial envoy?
Damn grandma!
Why is this bastard so cheap?
Emperor Wen glanced at Yun Li with some sympathy, and said helplessly: "I really can't help you this time! You should discuss it with your uncle and others. Don't worry, there is always a way to solve the problem. The sky will not fall!"
Yun Li felt bitter in his heart: "Then I will go and discuss it with my uncle and the others! Father, take care of your body. I will take my leave first."
Yun Li bowed and left with a feeling of depression.
Looking at Yun Li's departing back, Emperor Wen showed a long-lost sincere smile.
Lao Liu, this rebellious son, is really good at cheating people!
I originally thought that I had made a bad move, but I didn't expect that he would take advantage of me.
Playing chess with this rebellious son would be much more interesting than playing chess with the third brother.
Ugh!
I really don't like my body!
The great opportunity to lead the army in person just slipped away before his eyes.
How great it would be if I were ten years younger!
Emperor Wen could not help but sigh, then slowly stood up and began to practice the health-preserving boxing.
I still have to strive to live a few more years.
Lao Liu definitely has the intention to destroy the Yu Kingdom, and he will definitely be able to do it!
If I could see Lao Liu destroy the Yu Kingdom, my life would be without regrets.
When Mu Shun walked in, he saw Emperor Wen starting to practice the health-preserving boxing again, and he almost cried for joy.
Ever since the incident with Concubine Jing, Emperor Wen hasn't practiced this health-preserving boxing for many days.
I don’t know what the prince said to the emperor, but he actually asked him to start practicing health-preserving boxing again.
Emperor Wen glanced at Mu Shun and ordered him while punching: "Pay more attention to the court recently. Report any situation to me in time!"
"Yes!"
Mu Shun respectfully accepts the order...
