The naughty and cowardly little crybaby sold himself out

Chapter 149 I will definitely marry you, you can't run away

After the military officer and the deputy general came in, everyone agreed that Jing Muhao's worries were justified.

The prince also told the emperor's edict that he had received from the capital. He was now in a dilemma as the current situation was completely contrary to the emperor's upcoming edict.

Who knows if Toya’s letter is a delaying tactic?

"Your Highness, I have an idea. If you don't write the letter, let His Highness the King of War give up his military power and return to the city. If he is willing, it will prove that he has no intention of treason." The newly appointed military officer stood up and said.

"How could the King of War give up his military power? And even if he did, what would it matter? Don't forget that there are still 100,000 cavalrymen in the Northern Border, currently stationed in Lindong and Linxi!" a deputy general pointed out.

“If the Queen of Beisai really wants to become the consort of Lingyin Kingdom, then she must also show her sincerity and not bring her cavalry into the country!

Your Highness, this is the fastest way to find out if they have the intention to rebel. Otherwise, when the imperial decree arrives in a few days, Your Highness the War King and the Queen of the Northern Frontier will be able to make up any excuse to send their troops into the country, and we will have no room for maneuver."

"Your Highness, I believe that His Highness the Prince of War is the biggest obstacle on your way to the throne. Perhaps we can take this opportunity to get rid of him!" A newly transferred deputy general, Liu Yong, blurted out these words, shocking the prince.

You can say this in private, but don’t say it openly!

Sure enough, this remark immediately attracted attacks from everyone.

"Your Highness the War King has just quelled the chaos in the Northern Frontier, eliminating a major hidden danger for Lingyin Nation. There will be no harassment in the Northern Frontier for the next 10 to 20 years. How can you cross the river and destroy the bridge?"

"Yes, there was also the locust plague before and the plague last year. These were all caused by the contribution of His Royal Highness the War King. You can't kill him!"

"My Lords, Liu Yong would like to ask, do you support the crown prince ascending the throne or the war king seizing power?"

"Of course it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince is the successor that the Emperor has carefully cultivated. Naturally, we support the Emperor and the Crown Prince."

"But the emperor has clearly told Prince Zhan countless times to assist the crown prince, but Prince Zhan didn't take the crown prince seriously at all, and even took over the crown prince's duties. The entire Xucheng and Nan'an are under the command of Prince Zhan. Even the tiger talisman cannot compare to the prestige of Prince Zhan's order. Tell me, is this a big threat?"

"Deputy General Liu, you've said too much. My father hopes that we brothers will live in harmony and work together to build Lingyin. Naturally, I trust Xiaojiu." The prince said kindly.

"The Crown Prince is merciful, but the King of War has surpassed the Emperor in merit. Even the Emperor can hardly control him now, let alone His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Liu Yong dared to meet with the Emperor. Regardless of whether the King of War has the intention of rebellion or not, the wind direction of Lingyin Country has changed. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still wants to hold on to this position, he can only be strangled, otherwise there will be endless troubles!"

Liu Yong knelt on the ground.

"Your Highness, Liu Yong is not exaggerating. Such things are everywhere in history. Is there any dynasty or any succession of imperial power that was not bloody?

Your Highness, don’t think that Lingyin Kingdom has no problems. The Third Prince was deposed, the Fifth and Sixth Princes were suppressed, the Queen’s power was almost disintegrated, and the Seventh Prince was killed. Aren’t these all facts? And all of this is related to the War King. Maybe the War King is defeating them one by one…”

Liu Yong said a lot more, which made everyone present very nervous.

Finally, everyone reached a consensus and agreed to his proposal to join the army. Since they couldn't kill him at the moment, they would first take away his military power.

Soon, a letter from the Prince of Xucheng's camp was sent to Linxi. If it was fast, Jing Muyang would receive it the next day. It depended on how he responded.

Linxi.

As soon as Natoya entered the city, she went straight to Jing Muyang's residence.

"Your Highness Prince Zhan, Your Highness Prince Zhan! I want to see you! I have a lot to say to you, a lot of things to tell you!" Toya shouted outside Jing Muyang's yard.

Qingshan originally didn't want to let her into the mansion, but Tuoya was shouting at the gate and refused to leave no matter how much she was persuaded. She always said that she had something important to tell the King of War in person.

Qingshan had no choice but to let her in. The government office was so big that no matter how much she shouted, it was better than being watched by people at the gate.

Jing Muyang was feeling extremely annoyed in there, he felt dizzy and his cough got worse.

"Your Highness Prince Zhan, I have written a letter to your father, asking him to grant us a marriage." Tuoya couldn't help but want to tell Jing Muyang immediately, even if Jing Muyang didn't let her enter the courtyard.

Jing Muyang, who had just taken a sip of tea, was choked out of fright.

What? What did he hear? Tuoya wrote a letter to her father to ask for marriage?

"Your Highness, Prince Zhan, I received a letter this morning. Your father has agreed! He has sent someone to take us back to the capital with state ceremony. I will definitely marry you. You can't run away!"

Toya was shouting excitedly outside the courtyard gate. Getting the recognition from the Emperor of Lingyin Kingdom was a great help.

Jing Muyang was even more speechless after hearing this. Did the emperor really agree? He agreed without asking him?

Putting aside other things, didn't the emperor think that if he really married Toya, wouldn't that make him an enemy? And where would that put the prince?

"Qingshan, let her in." This matter cannot be avoided and must be made clear.

Toya, who was let in, had no manners at all. She surrounded him and looked around, feeling excited and distressed.

"Your Highness, the King of War, I haven't seen you for a while, and you have lost weight."

Jing Muyang dodged for a moment, "Tuoya, you are the queen now, you must follow the proper rules."

"Okay." Tuoya turned around with a smile and sat down obediently, staring at Jing Muyang, "Your Highness, the King of War, are you feeling better?"

"Tuoya, I asked you to come in not to reminisce about the past, but to tell you that we are not suitable for each other. Even if you write to the emperor to ask for a marriage, it will be useless. I still say the same thing, I will not agree!"

"Why? What's wrong with us? I have written it clearly in the letter. If you become my consort, I will use Beisai as a betrothal gift. If I become your princess, I will use Beisai as a dowry. Just like I said before, I will never regret it!"

"Tuoya, as a queen, how can you treat your country as a joke? You must not do this!"

"Don't take it lightly. I have considered it carefully. Beisai was a vassal state of Lingyin Kingdom for three dynasties. Now Beisai seems to be strong in military power, but in fact, the country has been empty for years. My sister and I are not capable of saving the royal family. We really need a strong consort to turn the tide. You are the best candidate in my mind!"

There was almost only Jing Muyang in Toya's bright eyes.
