Emperor: When will the Seventh Prince rebel? I will open the city gates to welcome him.

"Report! Urgent report!! The old ruler of Beishang, Ba Yu, has passed away, and the crown prince, Ba Yin, has been deposed and placed under house arrest. The new ruler of Beishang is the sixth prince, Ba Xing. In order to consolidate his throne and divert internal conflicts, he has assembled 300,000 cavalrymen at the border and ordered the state teacher, Yu Yi, to come to the capital of Dafeng. He demands that Dafeng pay a tribute of 10,000 taels of gold, 5,000 young girls, and cede the important border town of Shanqing County."

"Gathering 300,000 cavalry? Demanding a tribute of 10,000 taels of gold, 5,000 young girls, and asking me to cede the important border town of Qingshan County. This is clearly an attempt to humiliate me! Are you bullying my Great Feng Kingdom for not daring to go to war with Northern Merchants?"

"Your Majesty! Our Great Feng Dynasty has just experienced a locust plague and three years of drought. Now the people are living in poverty. There has also been a large-scale rebellion in southern Xinjiang, which has just been suppressed. We should rest and recuperate now and wait for the right time. It is not appropriate to start a war again!"

"Although our Great Feng Kingdom has suffered natural disasters and has just suppressed the rebellion in the southern border, it is not a place for the new ruler of the Northern Shang, Ba Xin, to show off his power. I am willing to mobilize the whole country to crush those 300,000 cavalrymen!"

"Warrior! Uncouth warrior! Your Majesty must not resort to arms at this time. If you do so, there will surely be another rebellion in the southern border!"

"Propagate my order: war or peace? Civil and military officials must attend the meeting in the Hall of Supreme Harmony tomorrow. Anyone who dares to neglect the meeting will be executed!"

……

The Dafeng Imperial City, where the seventh prince of Qingyou Court lives.

Hongxuan stood at the corner of the pavilion, gazing at a lotus in the small pond. The pink petals swayed in the breeze, like the delicate and upright figure of a fairy in the water, exuding an atmosphere of tranquility and mystery.

He traveled through time, yes! He thought he would enter what people called heaven, or a hell filled with magma.

Hongxuan vaguely remembered the scene of himself pulling the safety pin of the grenade and dying together with the enemy. In his previous life, he was a special forces soldier of the Snow Leopard Commando. During a mission abroad, he killed more than 300 foreign enemies. In the end, he ran out of ammunition and food and died together with the enemy, ending his glorious life.

He traveled through time to the Dafeng Kingdom and became the seventh prince.

Although the Seventh Prince was a prince, he was generally regarded as a coward, and even the palace maids in the courtyard dared to be rude to him.

There is no other reason.

The seventh prince's mother was Concubine Xiang, but she was framed while competing for favor. A human-shaped puppet was found in the Bixiu Palace where she lived. The puppet was engraved with the name of Emperor Dingwen Hongjing, the ruler of Dafeng, and was nailed to the Baihui acupoint with black nails.

This kind of petty trick to frame someone was a common method in the imperial palace, but it was instigated by Imperial Noble Consort Cao.

Emperor Dingwen Hongjing was furious.

She was banished to the cold palace, Qingyou Palace. The seventh prince Hongxuan was also arranged to live in Qingyou Courtyard from then on. Logically, each prince had his own mansion, but the seventh prince did not, only because his mother, Concubine Xiang, was a concubine who was banished to the cold palace.

Xiang Fei knew that she was framed, but she had no connections in the court. Her identity was just that of a stunning beauty who was sent as tribute from the Western Regions and she had no political foundation at all.

The beauty was so unfortunate that she eventually fell ill due to grief and never recovered.

It was good enough for the Seventh Prince Hongxuan to save his own life. He lived in fear and tread on thin ice. Of course he knew that his mother was framed, but what could he do? He no longer had his mother to rely on, and there was no minister in the court to depend on.

Even so, the palace maid Lan'er beside him still put craze poison in the wine and took him away.

The original owner of Hongxuan lived a miserable life. Although he was a prince, he did not enjoy any fatherly love, and his mother, Concubine Xiang, was framed. He even felt relieved when the original owner left this body.

But now the soul of this body has changed. Hong Xuan's mouth curled up slightly and his eyes narrowed slightly.

The thought rang loudly in his mind:

[Since I have your body, you can rest in peace! Leave the rest to me, I will give you and your mother justice.] Since I have this body, I should call Xiang Fei my mother.

The sound of footsteps came from the walkway of the pavilion.

The second prince Hong Xiong arrived at Qingyou Courtyard with five guards in a dignified manner and walked straight towards the seventh prince Hong Xuan.

It was as if he was the owner of this quiet courtyard.

"Welcome to His Royal Highness the Second Prince!"

Three palace maids knelt on the ground and saluted. Although they were palace maids serving the seventh prince Hongxuan, they had never kneeled so respectfully to Hongxuan before.

The seventh prince Hongxuan glanced at the three of them coldly.

"Ha! Seventh brother! I didn't expect that you are still in good health and have no illness or pain!" The second prince Hongxiong sneered contemptuously.

"Do you want me to be sick or in pain? I am not old, so why do you say that I am still strong?"

The three palace maids kneeling on the ground were extremely shocked and surprised. Since they had served the Seventh Prince, they had never heard the Seventh Prince dare to speak to the Second Prince in such a way.

In their impression.

Every time the Seventh Prince saw the Second Prince, he would bow with his hands clasped in respect, and then address him respectfully: "Seventh Brother greets Second Brother!"

But this time, the three of them saw something.

The Seventh Prince had his chin slightly raised, his brows contained the aura of a purple dragon emperor, his starry eyes were bright and sharp, he was extremely handsome and heroic, and he didn't seem to be timid at all.

The Second Prince Hongxiong had never seen such momentum from the cowardly Seventh Prince.

"You are so bold, Seventh Brother! Not only do you fail to greet your elder brother, but you also treat him with such disrespect with this expression. You are totally disrespectful to your elders!" The Second Prince shouted angrily.

"What kind of formalities are you performing? What kind of royal brother are you? This prince has performed formalities and called you royal brother, haha! Why don't you send someone to poison me?" The seventh prince Hongxuan sneered.

The palace maid Lan'er, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled slightly. She showed an unprecedented fear. Was this what the Seventh Prince said?

The second prince was stunned, he had never thought that his cowardly seventh brother would say such words. Hongxiong came here this time to see why the seventh brother who drank the poisoned wine had not died yet. Lan'er, the maid serving the seventh prince, had just sent him a message. He didn't believe that his seventh brother who drank the poisoned wine was fine.

So he brought the guards with him to see what was going on.

"How dare you slander this prince!" Hong Xiong was about to continue

"Don't you know whether I am slandering you or not? Why, Hongxiong, you came here in such a hurry to see if this prince is dead or not? You must be very disappointed after seeing the result!"

The second prince shouted angrily with a frosty face: "Lan'er! Give me what you found!"

Lan'er, who was kneeling on the ground, raised her head and looked at the Second Prince, then turned her gaze to the Seventh Prince whom she served.

"Didn't you hear what this prince said?"

The guard behind the Second Prince took a step forward, and the maid Lan'er no longer hesitated and took out a puppet from her arms, "Your Highness! This morning, I found this puppet under the pillow of the Seventh Prince's bed."

After saying this, he quickly stood up and handed the humanoid puppet to the second prince Hongxiong.

Hong Xiong took the wooden puppet and smiled cruelly: "Seventh brother! You and your deceased mother Xiang Fei are truly like-minded! You actually used the same method to curse our father. What crime should you be punished for?"

The wooden puppet held by Hongxiong has the name of Emperor Dingwen Hongjing written on it, and a nail is driven into the puppet's chest.

"Guards on both sides!"

"exist!"

"Quickly arrest this traitor Hong Xuan and hand him over to the Dali Temple for interrogation!"
