Li Shao did not pay much attention to how Shen An took revenge on his former enemies later.

He just told Shisan and the others to cooperate with him. Shen An knew his limits and had his own way of doing things, so Li Shao was very confident in him.

For Jing Xiangting, the current situation of Jing Kingdom gives him a headache and annoyance. There are rebels everywhere in the country, and troops have to be dispatched to quell the rebellion. The war on the border has to be taken care of even more.

The many brave generals sent out successfully curbed the offensive of the two countries' coalition forces, but the lost cities have not yet been recaptured.

The war was at a stalemate for a while. What was hateful was that the Chu and Liao countries dared to send people to make a statement that as long as Jing State was willing to cede five cities in addition to the few cities currently occupied to Chu and Liao countries, they would withdraw their troops.

How could Jing Xiangting agree to this? After thinking it over again and again, he decided to lead the army in person in order to boost morale, stabilize the people's hearts, and intimidate the two countries of Chu and Liao.

After hearing this, all the civil and military officials in the court knelt down and shouted at him to revoke his decision.

"Your Majesty is a man of great power and worth thousands of gold. The battlefield is full of dangers and is unpredictable. If anything happens to you, the country will be in turmoil!"

"Your Majesty, even if you are in the palace, you can still win the battle thousands of miles away without having to go to dangerous places in person!"

"Your Majesty! The affairs of state are not limited to military affairs. There are also many government affairs in the court that need your judgment. If you lead the army in person, the government will be neglected and the treacherous and rebellious party will take the opportunity to cause chaos. Please think twice!"

"Your Majesty, if you lead the army in person, the capital will be empty and the people in the capital will be in a state of panic. There is a fear of civil unrest. If the external enemies are not pacified, civil unrest will break out again."

"Your Majesty, you are the one chosen by heaven. You do not need to go to the battlefield in person. Our dynasty follows the will of heaven and will be blessed by heaven. Your Majesty only needs to stay in the capital and the soldiers will be able to defeat the coalition forces."

"Also, Your Majesty, the man behind your assassination has not been caught yet. If you leave the capital, you will give him this opportunity, which is really inappropriate."

....

The officials were talking at once. Jing Xiangting, who had been somewhat shaken by the persuasion of the crowd, immediately flew into a rage when he heard someone mention the assassination. "Humph! You also know that the man behind the scenes has not been caught yet! They are all rubbish!"

Everyone apologized and promised to get to the bottom of the matter as soon as possible.

Jing Xiangting couldn't help but snorted coldly, "Do we need to investigate? It must be that guy, the fourth one. He only dares to hide in the dark and spread rumors, command the rebels to make trouble, and use some shady tricks. This is all he is capable of. If I don't go to the battlefield myself, won't he laugh at me and think that I am the same rat as him?!"

At this time, Jing Xiangyuan advised: "Brother Emperor, since you know that he is behind this, you should not fall for his evil schemes. I suspect that he is colluding with the Chu and Liao countries to create internal and external troubles in order to usurp the throne. You should not leave the capital."

What Jing Xiangyuan could think of, Jing Xiangting could not have thought of either. He sighed deeply, "How could I not know what you said? Those rebels in the country are easy to deal with."

"But facing the Chu and Liao countries on the border, our army is in a bad situation. As the king of a country, I should go to the front line to boost morale and deter the villains. If I don't go..."

"Brother, if you must go, why not let me go on your behalf? You are a man of ten thousand gold, and you are responsible for governing the country. Warfare is dangerous, with swords and sabers. I have practiced martial arts since I was young, and I am willing to share your worries and serve the country."

Jing Xiangyuan's words truly came from his heart. He has enjoyed the wealth and glory brought by this identity since he was born, and now he should naturally shoulder the responsibilities that he should bear.

As soon as these words were spoken, all the ministers echoed them.

"Your Majesty, what the prince said is absolutely right, this is a very good move!"

"When the prince was inspecting the northern border in the past, he also led troops to repel the invading barbarians. This time, the prince will surely defeat the enemy and enhance the prestige of our dynasty!"

"Your Majesty, the prince's move is truly far-sighted. If the prince goes to the battle on your behalf, it can not only resolve the border war, but also ensure that you are safe and sound in the capital. This is the best of both worlds. I hope Your Majesty will agree to the prince's request."

"I second the motion. Please allow the prince to go to war on your behalf!"

....

Seeing Jing Xiangyuan's dedication to the country and himself, Jing Xiangting felt that what the ministers said made sense. After thinking for a moment, he felt that this approach was indeed the best of both worlds.

He nodded and said, "I originally wanted to lead the army in person to boost the morale of the troops, but what my brother said makes sense. After thinking it over again and again, I decided to let my brother lead the army in my place. I believe that my brother will be able to defeat the enemy. I will wait for my brother's triumphant return in the capital."

Jing Xiangyuan's face was full of determination. He leaned forward and bowed, "Your Majesty is wise! I will definitely defeat the enemy and live up to your trust."

Seeing that the matter had been resolved satisfactorily, the emperor no longer insisted on leading the army in person, and the ministers all shouted, "Your Majesty is wise! Your Highness is wise!"

……

The emperor had already issued an edict to announce to the world that Jing Xiangyuan was about to go to the border, so naturally the people in the palace knew about it first.

Nuanxiangyuan.

At this time, Wen Zhu said anxiously, "Master, what should we do now? The prince is going to the war soon. The border is so dangerous! War is not a game. What if something happens to the prince?"

"No, no, bah bah bah! What are you saying with my stinky mouth!" He said while slapping his own mouth.

But Wenzhu was really worried. If the Sixth Prince died, his young master would become a widower. He must not let that happen!

Facing Wen Zhu's various concerns, Su Cen simply said, "The country is in trouble now, and it is his duty as a prince to go to the battlefield. There is no such thing as what to do. As for whether he can come back alive, that is his fate. There is no point in you worrying."

"Master!! You, you can just say this to me behind closed doors. Don't say it in front of others or the prince."

"Got it. You can go down. I'm a little tired and want to rest for a while."

"Okay, then you lie down for a while, young master. I'll ask the kitchen to stew some bird's nest for you to replenish your energy."

After Wenzhu finished speaking, he turned around and walked out, muttering to himself: The prince is going to the battlefield, why is the young master not in a hurry at all?

At night, Jing Xiangyuan rested in Nuanxiangyuan as usual, and the two of them lay quietly on the bed.

At this time, Jing Xiangyuan hugged Su Cen in his arms and said, "Brother Cen, I will be leaving for the battle the day after tomorrow. Don't you have anything to say to me? Aren't you worried about me at all?"

"Your Highness, good fortune will come to you. It's useless for me to worry about it."

Jing Xiangyuan lowered his head and looked at him deeply for a while, then sighed and hugged him tighter, "My dear Brother Cen, when will you accept me again!"

"I thought we had a lot of time together and you would accept me, but now I have to go to the battlefield and I don't know if I can come back alive."

"I'm afraid! But I'm not afraid of death. I'm afraid that I won't get your forgiveness before I die, and I won't be able to make you accept me and love me again."

Su Cen, who was held tightly in his arms and listening to his strong heartbeat, felt very uncomfortable for some reason at this moment, but still said nothing.

Jing Xiangyuan didn't care and continued, "In my imagination, the two of us will spend our whole lives together and have two more lovely children, a boy and a boy. Don't you like the two children of Li Shao's family the most? Let's have them too."

"Our children will definitely be cuter and more obedient than theirs. When they grow up and can inherit the palace, I will take you to travel around..."

Listening to Jing Xiangyuan talking and describing their "future", Su Cen felt even more upset.

But he still closed his eyes and said nothing, and just when Jing Xiangyuan thought he had fallen asleep, he stopped talking.

Instead, she kissed his forehead, gently held him and laid him down. When she was about to fall asleep, Su Cen said with her eyes closed, "You will be fine."

Jing Xiangyuan was immediately overjoyed, hugged Su Cen and kissed her, "I knew you couldn't bear to leave me! Brother Cen, I know, I know everything!"

"For you, I will come back alive, hahaha! How could I die? I will live with you forever!"

Su Cen just silently endured his affection and didn't say anything else.
