Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

Although Emperor Jingwen’s fever had subsided and he had opened his eyes, he was too weak to speak. Only his eyeballs could move, and he couldn’t even lift his arms.

Ignoring the five princes, Emperor Jingwen’s gaze passed through them and fell directly on his youngest son.

While Ye Shuo felt relieved, he saw that his brothers were making too much noise, so he pushed them all aside without saying anything.

“Come on, come on, make way, keep your voices down, or else don’t blame me for being rude.”

Ye Shuo has now completely let go.

Anyway, the offence has already been committed. It is an offence if you offend once, and it is an offence if you offend several times. So let it be.

Ye Shuo doesn’t like to get used to others, it’s always others who get used to him.

Caught off guard, the Fifth Prince and others staggered to and fro. After the Fifth Prince stood firm, he looked at him with eyes that seemed to be filled with anger.

Ye Shuo didn’t take it to heart at all. He sat down on the bedside of his stepfather, reached out and touched his forehead. He found that it was indeed not as hot as before, so he stretched out a finger and asked, “Dad, don’t be stunned. Look here. Can you tell your son, what number is this?”

The Fifth Prince, who was full of complaints and wanted to say something, shut his mouth instantly when he saw this.

Forget it, why bother with him!

Emperor Jingwen: “…”

Seeing that his cheap father remained silent for a long time and looked at him like a wooden stick, Ye Shuo’s heart suddenly skipped a beat: “It’s bad, he’s burned stupid.”

Ye Shuo hurriedly began to shout: “Azhi, Azhi, come over quickly——”

Emperor Jingwen used up almost all his strength to grab his arm.

“Stop…shouting…!”

My youngest son is good in every way except for this erratic habit. I don’t know when he will be able to change.

As soon as he woke up, Emperor Jingwen’s eyelids began to twitch.

Fearing that he would be embarrassed again, Emperor Jingwen, who did not want to answer such an insulting question, controlled himself and said with great difficulty: “Yes, yes.”

Only then did Ye Shuo breathe a sigh of relief.

“I…I’m fine now, all of you…all go out…”

It would be fine if he had no choice, but if he had a choice, Emperor Jingwen would not want to show his weak side in front of others, even if the other person was his own son.

After staying up all night, Ye Shuo was already very sleepy. Now that his adoptive father had woken up, there were naturally imperial physicians to take care of him, and there were so many palace servants, so he was not needed at all. So Ye Shuo nodded subconsciously.

However, the Fifth Prince and others had just the opposite opinion. They thought that when their father was unconscious, he could neither hear nor see anything they did, so what was the point? But things were different after he woke up.

then……

“Yes, Dad. Son will go to rest now.” This is Ye Shuo.

“Father is not feeling well right now. Your sons and I are willing to wait here.” These are the Fifth Prince and his entourage.

Several people spoke almost at the same time, and after hearing what the other party said, they all widened their eyes at the same time.

At this moment, whether it was Ye Shuo or the five princes, they all felt that their brother/brother was sick.

Ye Shuo was thinking, it’s already this time, why are you still pretending.

The fifth prince was thinking, why didn’t he pretend at this time, wouldn’t all his previous efforts be in vain?

Ye Shuo didn’t care what they were thinking, he was going to sleep anyway. After paying his respects to his adopted father, Ye Shuo hurried to the side hall.

Those whom he wanted to stay ran away, but those whom he didn’t want to stay, stayed. The “you” that Emperor Jingwen just mentioned did not include his youngest son at all.

Emperor Jingwen didn’t even have time to try to persuade him to stay before Ye Shuo disappeared.

The Ninth Prince is really a man of true character. Wang Ziquan couldn’t help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead when he saw this.

After the Fifth Prince and his companions left, Wang Ziquan could no longer hold back and whispered, “Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince was actually very dedicated during your coma, and it was not what you saw.”

Over the years, when has Wang Ziquan ever spoken for any of the masters in the palace? Now he just couldn’t stand it anymore.

However, what Wang Ziquan did not expect was that the next sentence he heard was Emperor Jingwen say, “Hmm.”

Your Majesty, he…he actually knew!

Noticing the shock in Wang Ziquan’s eyes, Emperor Jingwen closed his eyes slightly and said nothing.

From beginning to end, Emperor Jingwen knew what was happening outside. Although he was asleep, due to his nature, he would never completely let his guard down at any time, so he could vaguely sense what was happening outside.

Everyone thought that Emperor Jingwen had lost consciousness, but in fact he hadn’t, so when he heard his youngest son’s words, he had such a big reaction, but he couldn’t break free no matter what.

Emperor Jingwen listened and became anxious. He knew very well that if he really couldn’t wake up this time, his youngest son would be in danger.

No matter what, he cannot be allowed to carry such a stigma for the rest of his life.

It was Yao Zhi’s medical skills and Emperor Jingwen’s strong desire to survive, not just luck, that enabled Emperor Jingwen to survive this ordeal.

As for the Fifth Prince and the others… forget it, let’s not talk about them.

In this situation, how could Emperor Jingwen not be moved?

Among all his sons, only Xiaojiu would make such a choice, so all his sons combined were not as good as him.

Later, Emperor Jingwen found out that his youngest son had done much more than that.

After receiving the news, he even rushed into the imperial city on horseback. Emperor Jingwen felt that it was a blessing from God to have such a son in his life.

The other side.

Ye Shuo slept until the afternoon and then he woke up. Then he learned the news from the front line.

No wonder the Sixth Prince left in such a hurry at that time. It turned out that the State of Chen saw that the battle between Da Zhou and Beiting was in full swing, and they could not hold back any longer, so they joined the battlefield and launched a surprise attack. The two countries, which were originally enemies, now joined hands.

A lot of troops were urgently transferred to the border of Chen State, and the pressure on the eldest prince who stayed there suddenly increased.

The eldest prince knew that he would be dragged to death sooner or later if he continued like this, so he led his troops in a surprise attack, hoping to tear a hole in Beiting’s army. However, he accidentally fell into the enemy’s trap. Now three days have passed, and the eldest prince’s life or death is no longer known.

Ye Shuo’s heart suddenly began to lift.

As for the eldest prince, Ye Shuo’s feelings for him cannot be said to be very deep, but it is definitely not without any feelings. In addition, nephews have always been good friends with Jian Jian, and he has watched them grow up. If possible, Ye Shuo also hopes that he can be alive.  

Then there is the cheap dad’s side.

Although my cheap dad has woken up now, according to Azhi, his physical condition has become worse, and it is still unclear whether he will be able to get out of bed in the future.

Ye Shuo knew that he could never give his cheap father his complete trust. The only thing he could do, within a limited scope, was to allow his cheap father to spend a relatively stable ten thousand years and not let him end up with a miserable old age.

Ye Shuo couldn’t guarantee anything else.

Thinking of this, Ye Shuo did just that.

The Great Zhou was sandwiched between the Chen Kingdom and Beiting. Just when the Sixth Prince was at his wits’ end and didn’t know what to do, he suddenly heard a message from his subordinates saying that two merchants named Hu and Gu had been collecting food and grass from the people since the beginning of the war. Now, nearly a year has passed, and the amount of food and grass stockpiled by the two men is already considerable. They now want to donate it all to the court in exchange for the status of imperial merchants.

If the Sixth Prince remembered correctly, the money and grain donated by these two people were also donated by the Crown Prince, but the amount was insufficient, so he only gave him a plaque and a reward.

It seems that the two of them are unwilling to give up, so they put in so much effort this time.

If they had the title of imperial merchants, the two of them would be able to trade completely unimpeded within the Great Zhou. In addition, they had made such a great contribution, so even officials from all over the country would have to give them some face in the future. So overall, they did not lose out.

As a true businessman, he will never do business without capital.

The Sixth Prince agreed without much hesitation.

When winter comes, food in Beiting will become increasingly scarce. It is a critical time. Whether it will succeed depends on winter. The two of them came at the right time.

Then it was the Ministry of Works, which quickly came up with weapons to deal with the State of Chen. Their efficiency was astonishingly high.

The Sixth Prince only felt the pressure greatly reduced for a moment.

Soon, Ye Shuo contacted his eldest cousin again, and almost on the same day, many pigeons were released in the suburbs of the city.

The other side.

Compared to the Great Zhou, Beiting’s days were not easy either. A year ago, since they started fighting with the Great Zhou, a team came out of nowhere, with only one or two thousand people in total, which was not a large number. At first, Beiting didn’t take them seriously at all, thinking that some small country around it was taking the opportunity to cause trouble. However, as time went on, they were harassed by the enemy on the other side of the battlefield and they were miserable.

This group of people were elusive and had great skills. Sometimes, when the Beiting army was walking on the road, they would suddenly appear from nowhere and catch them off guard. By the time they could react, this group of people had already dispersed again and fled.

At first, Beiting wanted to chase them, but the more they chased, the worse things got, and more people died.

When it comes to guerrilla warfare, how can Beiting’s army compare to the special forces trained with modern methods? Beiting can only stick together to avoid too much loss.

Now, a year has passed, and the enemy’s troops have become stronger and stronger. They have taken away everything that could be robbed and burned, especially food and fodder. No matter how much food is transported, it is not enough for this group of people to rob. They are even more annoying than the army of the Great Zhou.

However, what was strange to Beiting was that there was no trace of the other party in recent days, and when this group of people appeared again, it was five days later.

After receiving the order from above, the leader of the troops from Lucheng spent a full five days rushing here from the other side, gathering information everywhere before finding the mission target.

However, it took too long to send messages back and forth, and they were still a step late.

As early as half a day ago, the army led by the eldest prince was discovered by the Beiting people. A total of 5,000 people have been slaughtered, with not a single one left.

It was the other party who cut off General Lanruo’s head. Now the situation has changed and it is his turn.

Just as General Lan Feng was about to take action, a sharp arrow flew through the air.

With a “ding” sound, the scimitar in Lan Feng’s hand was almost knocked to the ground, but despite this, a very obvious dent appeared on his scimitar.

This is one of the best weapons in the world, bestowed upon us by the Wolf King!

This sound, this sign…

“It’s the locusts, the locusts are coming!”

Someone shouted, but the Beiting soldiers, who already knew the other party’s reputation, immediately became agitated. Lan Feng wanted to continue, but he saw the leader in the distance suddenly pointed the crossbow in his hand at him.

Lan Feng’s heart immediately tightened.

“Retreat! Retreat quickly!”

No one knew where this group of people came from, but the crossbows in their hands were silent, powerful, and accurate, making them the nemesis of the cavalry.

Lan Feng didn’t care about anything else and immediately led his men to evacuate the place.

Half an incense stick later, the leader of the Lucheng troops felt a tightness in his heart when he saw the corpses all over the ground. He found the eldest prince based on his clothes and portrait. Looking at the man who was stabbed several times and even had one leg chopped off, the leader felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

Oops, I’m late. How am I going to explain this to my boss?

However, no matter what, even if the target of the mission is dead, they have to bring back the other party’s body.

Just when everyone was preparing to find a way to bring this person back, as soon as they made a move, they saw that the other party seemed to move.

“Alive! Chief, this man is still alive!”

The leader was stunned for a moment, and then was overjoyed.

Then, everyone took off their backpacks and began emergency rescue.

In the blink of an eye, another five days passed. When Emperor Jingwen learned that the State of Chen had joined, he couldn’t help but worry, but he didn’t expect that the turning point would come so quickly.

Then the eldest prince led his troops in a surprise attack and was nearly beheaded. Although he has been rescued now, he has lost his right leg.

This time, the eldest prince is completely ruined.

Upon hearing the news, Emperor Jingwen was silent for a while, and finally gave an order that after he recovered from his injuries, he would be taken back to the capital to retain his title as prince.

After all, he was the first son he raised, so in the end, Emperor Jingwen finally softened his heart. As for the eldest prince’s rebellious intentions, it was just passed.

The eldest prince used to be so glorious, but after he lost a leg and became disabled, he became so miserable.

If they were to say, the eldest brother was really pitiful. He fought with the prince all the time, but in the end, someone else got the advantage.

Just as the Fifth Prince and others were sighing, the second imperial edict of Emperor Jingwen also came down.

“The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: When I was ill, my fifth, seventh, and eighth sons failed to take good care of me. This is extremely unfilial. From today on, they will be demoted from their titles of prince to county prince. I decree this.”

Father actually… took away the positions of three princes in a row!

When this imperial decree came out, not to mention the Fifth Prince and his friends, even Ye Shuo was dumbfounded.
