Chapter 1756: Minister of Rites
"Feng Ming couldn't help but smile. He walked up to An Xue Tang and gently tapped her forehead, "What are you talking about"An Xuetang narrowed her eyes slightly, "Where have you been these few days"F...The emperor beamed with pride, “Today I have dispatched ten thousand soldiers to encircle the Prince’s Mansion in the Northern Frontier. Even my beloved concubine dislikes that place; today I shall order them to charge in.”
"Unless something unexpected happens, the Bei Jiang Wang Fu will not cause any more trouble from now on."
"!"
Zhi'er's expression changed, a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes. She had only been in seclusion for two days.
What on earth happened these past two days
He even dared the Emperor to take such a bold action. Has he forgotten that the Northern Border Royal Mansion possesses explosives
The Emperor was smiling, his gaze fixed on Zhi'er. He saw the trace of displeasure that had crossed her face.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, "Why is my beloved not happy Didn't you just say that you didn't like the Prince's residence in Beijiang"
"Besides, the Northern Border Princess, as a daughter-in-law, doesn't understand propriety at all. She hasn't entered the palace to pay respects to the concubines yet. Isn't the concubine also resentful of her"
Zhi'er lowered her eyes, her gaze sharp but quickly retracted.
A polite smile played on her lips as she looked up at the emperor. "Your Majesty, I admit that I don't particularly like the North Border Princess's character and conduct. However, with the North Border King currently away on campaign, wouldn't sending troops to besiege his manor give the world an opportunity to gossip"
The Emperor's eyes darkened instantly upon hearing her words. "King Bei Jiang led his troops to battle and repelled the enemy, so I can spare his wife from death. However, the Bei Jiang王府 secretly harbors criminals and shelters treasonous subjects; such a crime deserves punishment."
"Now everyone in the world knows who Mo Yunchen is, and now everyone knows he is going to rebel. Everyone knows he will lead hundreds of thousands of Northern Border troops back to the capital."
“Such a traitor, his son brazenly returned to the capital. If I do nothing, wouldn't that make me a laughingstock to the world”
"Since they have already dared to provoke me, if I were unable to do anything about them, how would the world view me"

Therefore, I must dispatch someone to apprehend Mo Junyi. Furthermore, I shall have Mo Junyi's head publicly displayed before the eyes of all the people, as a warning to all officials and commoners alike that this is the fate of those who rebel against the throne.
Zhi'er certainly wouldn't let the people of Bei Jiang Wang Fu, especially Mo Yunchen and An Xue Tang, go either.
To her, these people were nothing, whether they lived or died.
She stayed here for a reason. First, she was loyal to the emperor. After using love spells on him, the emperor only had eyes for her and ignored all the other concubines in the palace.
Even though such methods are unethical, it has to be said that she is living a truly delightful life right now. The emperor only has eyes for her, and his world revolves around her.
He will never again be intimate with another woman.
Secondly, she hasn't forgotten her identity as the young mistress of the Western Regions Evil Clan. She must restore the glory of the Western Regions Evil Clan.
But clan reunification is no small feat.
The Tianba Kingdom is far from the Western Regions. Even though she is now favored by the emperor, it's unlikely he would send hundreds of thousands of soldiers to accompany her back to the Western Regions.
The emperor now only listens to her, and of course he can order troops to be deployed whenever she requests.

But that day, the civil and military officials of the Great Qin would certainly try their best to dissuade him.
After all, hundreds of thousands of troops need to cross other countries' territories to reach the Western Regions.
How could other countries possibly allow the Tianba Kingdom's army to enter their territory
So this means that the hundreds of thousands of troops from Tianba Kingdom wanting to help her would have to first fight a war against another country. If they won, the conquered territory of that country would belong to Tianba Kingdom afterwards, and only then could these hundreds of thousands of troops cross over that land to reach Xizhou.
This is actually equivalent to first exterminating other countries, but the matter of destroying a country is not easy at all.
Especially sandwiched between the Tianba Kingdom and the Western Regions was the powerful Xuan Kingdom.
To exterminate the Xuan nation with the current might of the Tianba nation would be... a pipe dream.
So, after discussing with the lamplighter, she still felt that the most feasible way was to obtain the explosives in the hands of the Beijang Wangfu.
With explosives, even without the aid of Tianba's soldiers, relying solely on their Western Regions Evil Clan subordinates, they could turn the entire Western Regions upside down.
...being able to liberate the Western Regions' evil tribes is the only viable solution at present. ...
Zhi'er then looked at the people kneeling on the ground, her face stern as she asked, "Who gave the emperor the idea To send troops to lay siege to the Bei Jiang王府"
"Your Majesty, we don't know either. However, yesterday Lord Ye and several ministers discussed matters with Your Majesty in the Imperial Study for several hours."
After the several lords had left, His Majesty ordered his subordinates to lurk around the Beijang Wangfu and see if there was any movement in the mansion last night.
"Apart from this, we have no knowledge of anything else. We were even unaware until today that Your Majesty had sent ten thousand soldiers to encircle the Prince's Residence in Beijang."
Chi'er glanced at them with a cold, aloof gaze. "Where is your president Go, bring him here."
These few people hurriedly bowed, "Yes."
After several of his subordinates left, Zhi'er dismissed the palace maids and eunuchs around her.
Her icy eyes narrowed slightly, then she looked at the emperor beside her, reaching out to lift his chin and force him to look at her. "Your Majesty," she said, "who advised you to send troops to besiege the Bei Jiang Wangfu"
The Emperor's eyes were vacant, and he subconsciously answered with three words when he heard Zhi'er's question, "Jiang Rongwen."
