Xu Kingdom!
It was originally a powerful country, but because the current Emperor, Su Guangming, was incompetent and unqualified, it caused the treacherous officials to take over and the loyal officials in the imperial court to be run over.
When fighting with the surrounding Yan Kingdom, they used incompetent generals to take command, resulting in 800,000 soldiers being killed and the kingdom's strength considerably declining. Su Guangming made the Ninth Princess, Su Wan, marry the Yan Emperor and cut off some land, hoping to avoid the calamity of the country's fall.
Who knew that Su Wan had disappeared halfway through the journey. When the Yan Kingdom's Emperor heard about it, he was greatly enraged and ordered the Xu Kingdom Emperor, Su Guangming, to submit to him. Otherwise, he would attack the capital of Xu Kingdom.
However, they were at loggerheads as to who was the ruler of the imperial court and the country. Some generals believed that if the Xu Kingdom were to pull together another team and let a wise general command, they would definitely be able to destroy the Yan Kingdom until they were terrified.
However, the treacherous officials around Su Guangming kept instilling the concept of the ruler and preserving peace.
They first pretended to surrender, conserving their strength and waiting for an opportunity to resist.
In actual fact, it was just an excuse to cower in fear of death.
Su Guangming was also afraid of being thrashed. He had been greedy for pleasure all day, and his spirit had long been worn out. He did not care if he had to bow down to the ruler or anything else as long as he could keep his life.
Meanwhile, Su Guangming's sons were also not up to par and felt that surrendering was reasonable.
This caused many loyal officials to feel a chill in their hearts. They felt that the Emperor and the few princes were just a bunch of worms, like mud that could not support the wall. It would be difficult for them to lead the Xu Kingdom back to the position of a strong country.
It was said that in the morning court today, Su Guangming would announce that he would bow before the Emperor!
All the civil and military officials gathered in the main hall.
Some of the officials' hearts were filled with despair. They prepared to retire and return to their birthplaces. Finding a quiet place to live out the rest of their lives was better than watching the country fall before their eyes.
And some of the officials had already been bribed by the Yan Kingdom. They were waiting for the Xu Kingdom to collapse completely to go to the Yan Kingdom to enjoy the glory and riches.
There were still some officials who did not understand the reason. They consider how the Xu Kingdom would recuperate and survive in the crevices.
"Your Majesty, if the Yan Kingdom does not give up on its desire to destroy us, even if we submit to them, the Yan's Emperor will not let Your Majesty off!"
The loyal officials made their final struggle, hoping that Su Guangming would change his mind.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"How dare you! You actually dare to curse His Majesty to die! The Yan's Emperor is a man of his. Why would he do such a thing!?" Immediately, some of the officials who Yan Kingdom had bribed jumped out.
It was the crucial moment when they announced that they would bow down to the Emperor. They would not allow anyone to come out and ruin it.
As long as the matter was successful, countless riches and prosperity would be waiting for them.
"Humph! I think you have been bribed by the Yan Kingdom. Why do you always speak up for the Yan Kingdom?"
"Bullsh*t, I think you are the one who has not given up on destroying our Xu Kingdom. Why are you always thinking of using war to solve the problem?"
"The bodies of the eight hundred thousand soldiers in front of us are not even cold yet, and you dare to say such words?"
Su Guangming held his forehead, his head aching from the noisy officials.
No matter what, the importance of submitting to the Emperor had already been decided, and it would definitely not change.
Just as Su Guangming was about to announce the matter, his personal bodyguard ran over and whispered a few words into his ear.
"This unfilial daughter, Xu Kingdom falling into such a situation is all her fault, and she still has the face to come back?"
Hearing the news about Su Wan, Su Guangming wished he could kill her with his own hands.
"Get her the hell in here!"
His personal guard accepted the order and left.
The officials below saw that Su Guangming was furious, and they all began to guess what had happened.
"His Majesty has changed his mind?"
"It's possible. Perhaps something has happened in the Yan Kingdom."
"In any case, this old man will retire and return home immediately. The life and death of the Xu Kingdom have nothing to do with me."
Su Wan brought the disguised He Chuan into the main hall.
"The sinner greets father."
"You cursed, unfilial daughter. You still have the face to come back?" Su Guangming slapped the chair hard and cursed loudly at Su Wan.
It was as if he wanted to vent all the grievances in his heart.
The destruction of the country was all on Su Wan.
"Father, what do you mean? When the escort team encountered the beast tide, we had no choice but to avoid the beast tide. Ultimately, we lost our way in the forest, and Daughter was severely injured." As Su Wan said that, two tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.
He Chuan applauded Su Wan's acting skills in his heart.
Su Wan had told him this before, and He Chuan was very doubtful of the authenticity of her words.
Coincidentally, they encountered the beast tide; coincidentally, she was the only one left.
However, this matter had nothing to do with He Chuan.
"You... are spouting nonsense!" Su Guangming had always thought that Su Wan was avoiding marriage, but he did not expect that she had encountered the beast tide. The charges that he had prepared were all swallowed back into his stomach.
After all, regardless of whether the words were true or false, there was no evidence.
Even if Su Guangming really wanted to kill Su Wan, he could not show it in front of all the officials.
Otherwise, how would the people of the world view him?
"You are twisting words and logic. This Crown Prince sees that you are doing this on purpose, treating the safety of the entire Xu Kingdom as a joke. If you had arrived at the Yan Kingdom on time, how could such a thing have happened?" The Crown Prince rebuked Su Wan angrily.
If Su Wan had not disappeared midway, how could things have turned out like this? How could this Crown Prince have become the Crown Prince of a fallen Kindom!!
Hence, it was all Su Wan's fault.
Su Wan felt her heart bleed. As expected, she did not have any kinship at all.
"Haha, what a great joke. A bunch of useless trash, forcefully pinning the blame for the rise and fall of the kingdom on a weak woman! Where are your faces?"
Su Wan raised her head and laughed loudly, her eyes filled with ridicule.
It was not known whether it was a performance or if it was from her heart.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"How dare you!" Su Guangming was struck in a sore spot, and he could not help but stomp his feet.
"Everyone should understand in their hearts that even if I were to marry into the Yan Kingdom, even if you were to surrender the land and compensate them, would the Yan Kingdom just let it go?" Su Wan's gaze swept over everyone in the main hall.
The ministers did not dare to meet her gaze.
It was just as Su Wan had said, even if the Xu Kingdom were to surrender all the land and marry all the princesses, the Yan Kingdom would still want to destroy the Xu Kingdom.
Peace? It was just a beautiful dream of Su Guangming and the Princes.
Peace was within the scope of the cannons, and dignity was only as high as the tip of the sword!
Relying on a woman to exchange for peace, how laughable was that?
"Treacherous officials are in power, and the Emperor is muddle-headed. In order to protect them, our sons of the Xu Kingdom were buried on the battlefield. Weren't they die unjustly? If we do not overthrow the dog emperor's regime, the Xu Kingdom will disappear into the dust of history." Su Wan questioned loudly.
"It's the other way around. Guards, take down the unfilial daughter for me!" Su Guangming was so angry that he almost turned his back on her.
"I think everyone should know that this dog emperor is about to issue a decree. Today, he will announce that he will bow down to the Yan Kingdom. All of you will have to live on your knees, your wives and children will be wantonly humiliated by the people of the Yan Kingdom, and all of you will have to humble yourselves and force a smile!" Su Wan said to the guards who were about to charge over.
That's right. They had wives and children in the Xu Kingdom. If they were to really bow their heads to the Yan Kingdom, what kind of situation would they face?
It would not be too much to describe it as hell on earth!
The guards hesitated.
He Chuan nodded his head secretly. Su Wan was like a natural-born speaker, not wasting the draft he had spent the entire night writing.
Things had not been so smooth initially. But who knew that Su Guangming was courting death and had insisted on bowing his head to the Yan Kingdom!
"I order you all to kill her immediately!" When Su Guangming saw that the guards did not make a move, he pressed loudly.
"I swear on my identity as the Ninth Princess of the Xu Kingdom that I will lead you all to resist. I will lead you all to victory over the Yan Kingdom and let the people of the Xu Kingdom live with dignity! Kill the dog Emperor and avenge the eight hundred thousand men who died in vain!"
Su Wan stepped forward and snatched the guards' weapons, taking the lead to charge toward Su Guangming.
"I've long thought the same thing. Ninth Princess, let me help you!" The Marshal of the Third Legion, Huang Hu, was the first to stand out and respond to Su Wan.
Su Guangming listened to slander and took away Marshal Huang Hu's military power, which led to a war loss.
Su Wan was probably the first person to rebel in the main hall directly.
