Transmigrating into a Turbulent Era as a Soldier, Starting with Marrying a Wife

Just then.

A man who looked like a butler ran in from the outer courtyard.

He whispered to the two people in the courtyard.

“Your Highness, Prime Minister.”

“Outside the mansion gate, a man is making a scene.”

“These useless people, they clearly said no one saw them.”

“Take me out to have a look.”

The Second Prince was about to leave the courtyard.

But he was stopped by the Prime Minister.

“Your Highness, it’s best if you don’t show yourself outside at this time.”

“I will handle this matter.”

After speaking, the Prime Minister led several servants towards the gate.

When they arrived at the gate of the mansion.

They indeed saw a simple and honest-looking man shouting loudly.

“Let me in, I want to find my wife and children.”

“I clearly saw my wife and daughter being brought into this mansion by a group of people.”

“Quickly release them?”

His clamor attracted some people to stop and watch from a distance.

At this time, the side door of the mansion opened.

A middle-aged man with a square face walked out.

He first reprimanded the servants who were arguing with the man.

“What are you doing? Why are you being rude to this commoner?”

“Let him through.”

The servants, of course, recognized the Prime Minister and quickly stepped aside.

The man in front of the door was stunned when he saw a dignified middle-aged scholar walk out.

The Prime Minister spoke first, asking with a puzzled expression.

“This man, what is the matter that brings you to this mansion gate?”

The man naturally did not recognize the current Prime Minister, but seeing this person's upright demeanor and official authority.

He naturally felt a sense of trust.

Without much thought, he told the story of his wife and daughter being kidnapped into this mansion.

It turned out that this person was a vendor running a tea stall in the South Street, and he happened to see his wife and daughter being kidnapped by several villains on his way home.

He followed all the way, constantly inquiring, and finally found this mansion, but was stopped by the servants at the gate.

He didn’t know who this mansion belonged to.

The servants only said that the people they caught were runaway slaves from the mansion and not his wife and daughter.

He was anxious and started making a scene in front of the door.

The Prime Minister listened patiently to the whole story, and then asked.

“This man, did you personally see your wife and daughter being brought into the mansion?”

The man nodded quickly.

“That’s right, I saw it with my own eyes.”

The Prime Minister rolled his eyes.

“Did anyone else see it?”

The man thought for a moment, then shook his head and said.

“Sir, I was worried about my wife and daughter, and came in a hurry.”

“No one else saw it.”

The Prime Minister nodded slightly, then said softly to the man.

“Your wife and daughter being mistaken for runaway slaves and caught in the mansion, I think it might be a misunderstanding.”

“It’s not impossible that the servants were reckless and made a mistake.”

“Coincidentally, I know the owner of this mansion.”

“How about this, I see that you are honest and straightforward, so I will give you face and take you into the mansion to look for them.”

“You go in and explain to the owner of the house, and clear up the misunderstanding.”

“What do you think?”

Hearing that this gentleman could take him in to find his wife and daughter.

The honest man’s face immediately lit up with joy.

He quickly cupped his hands to the Prime Minister and thanked him.

“Sir, you look like a good person, thank you so much.”

“I will never forget your kindness.”

The Prime Minister nodded slightly, and said with a smile.

“Then you can come into the mansion with me.”

After speaking, the Prime Minister turned around and led the honest man into the Second Prince’s mansion.

As soon as the two entered, with a loud bang.

The mansion gate was immediately closed.

As he walked, the Prime Minister instructed the head of the servants beside him.

“Handle it cleanly for your master.”

The servant nodded in agreement, drew his long knife with a whoosh, and walked menacingly towards the honest man.

Immediately, a man’s scream came from behind the Prime Minister.

The Prime Minister did not stop, but shook his head with a gloomy expression.

After dealing with this dirty business.

The Prime Minister and the Second Prince entered a secret room in the inner courtyard.

The Second Prince knew that his teacher had important matters to discuss with him.

Inside the secret room.

The Second Prince thought that his teacher wanted to advise him not to indulge in those unspeakable habits anymore.

But when his teacher spoke, he realized that the Prime Minister had come to him today to discuss something else.

“Your Highness, I have come this time to discuss the matter of borrowing troops from the Tiele people.”

Hearing that his teacher wanted to borrow troops from the Tiele people.

The Second Prince was shocked.

“Teacher, you... you mean, to borrow troops from the Northern Barbarian Tiele people?”

The Prime Minister nodded solemnly.

“In the fight for the throne, our biggest weakness is the lack of soldiers and horses.”

“The Empress Dowager’s faction has thousands of elite Imperial Guards in their hands.”

“Those who control the Imperial Guards are all relatives of Empress Xiao.”

“It can be said that the Imperial Guards in the imperial city have become the private soldiers of her Empress Dowager’s faction.”

“The Third Prince’s mother’s family is prominent, and the Assistant State General is his maternal uncle.”

“The meritorious aristocracy can mobilize 30,000 county and government soldiers from the counties around the capital.”

The Prime Minister sighed again and continued.

“Once the fight for the crown prince becomes heated, the parties will inevitably resort to arms.”

“Your Highness has no strong army in your hands, and it will be difficult for us to even protect ourselves in this capital.”

Hearing his teacher’s analysis, the Second Prince frowned for once.

But then, the Second Prince said.

“Teacher, these Tiele people have the ambition of wolves.”

“If we really rely on them to help me ascend the throne.”

“I’m afraid it will be easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away.”

“Once they occupy the capital and refuse to leave, and have the intention to take the Great Liang for themselves.”

“What should we do then?”

The Prime Minister nodded and said.

“Your Highness’s concerns are very reasonable.”

“I also know that borrowing troops from the Tiele people is like drinking poison to quench thirst.”

“However, if we don’t find the Tiele people, and the fight for the throne really turns into a war, neither you nor I will survive.”

“If we can let the Tiele people help Your Highness become the emperor of this Great Liang.”

“Then, we can give the Tiele people more gold, silver, and jewelry.”

“Meet all the requirements of the Tiele people.”

“Just try our best to find a way to send them away.”

“But if Your Highness fails to become the emperor.”

“Then we will surely die, what relationship will this Great Liang have with you and me?”

Hearing this, the Second Prince could only nod slightly.

He knew that what his teacher said was true.

As a prince, he had seen too many conspiracies and killings since he was a child.

The Empress Dowager’s faction, the two princes, whichever becomes the emperor will definitely not leave any hidden dangers for themselves.

They will definitely carry out a thorough purge of other forces.

The losers will inevitably be slaughtered.

The Second Prince’s expression was solemn, and his expression changed drastically, finally saying to the Prime Minister.

“Then everything, please let the teacher decide.”

The Prime Minister nodded and clapped his hands.

“Good, since Your Highness has made up your mind.”

“Then I will go and meet the envoys of the Tiele people and talk to them about borrowing troops.”

“As long as Your Highness can successfully ascend the throne and become the emperor of the Great Liang, no matter how much it costs, it will be worth it!”

At this time, in the Assistant State General’s mansion.

A banquet was being held.

Dozens of meritorious aristocrats were gathered together, drinking happily.

The leader was the Third Prince and Assistant State General Zheng Tianxiong.

The Third Prince, Chen Xiaowu, was a young man with shifty eyes, who looked like he had been indulging in wine and women for many years.

He was not interested in this kind of aristocratic gathering, and he would not have come if his maternal uncle, Assistant State General, had not dragged him here.

Assistant State General Zheng Tianxiong was a middle-aged man with a red face and a thick beard, burly and imposing.

This person was fond of boasting and face-saving.

At this time, Assistant State General raised the wine cup in his hand and said to the dozens of meritorious aristocrats in front of him.

“Everyone is here to help the Third Prince seize the throne.”

“The Third Prince and I thank you all.”

“As long as the Third Prince can become the crown prince, everyone present will be meritorious officials.”

“At that time, meritorious people will definitely be rewarded handsomely!”

“Come, everyone, drink this cup together!”

The meritorious aristocrats also raised their wine cups and echoed.

“Assistant State General, Your Highness the Third Prince, please rest assured.”

“As long as Your Highness and Assistant State General give an order, we will gather our men and horses and rush into the imperial city!”

“We will seize the throne for Your Highness!”

Assistant State General listened and nodded repeatedly.

But then he said worriedly.

“Launching an attack on the imperial city rashly.”

“I am afraid it will be misunderstood by the people of the world.”

“After all, His Majesty the Emperor is still in the imperial city, still in the hands of the Empress Dowager’s faction.”

“Once we launch a large army, and His Majesty is accidentally injured, we will not be able to explain ourselves.”

“We came here this time to gather everyone to think about it.”

“What is a way to eliminate the Empress Dowager’s faction and allow us to gain a righteous name?”
