All other military powers in Daqing Kingdom were now under the control of the Third Prince and Prince Zhan Yun, leaving only the Suxi Army. Couldn’t they drown the Suxi Army with just the combined spit of all the other soldiers?
“He sure thinks beautifully. When the eastern side of the border mentioned handing over control, it was done just like that, resulting in such chaos there. You are not aware, but Prince Zhanyun must understand deeply. Now, whatever they say, I will not get involved with the Suxi Army again.”
“That’s true.”
Xia Hua Feng nodded in agreement.
Once, the Qee Family had controlled the eastern side of the border for a period, and at that time, it was quite peaceful. But later on, the old emperor, fearing the rise of a second Prince Zhan Yun, reclaimed the military authority.
The reputation of General Qi as a wastrel was also spread secretly by the old emperor’s orders.
“I still suggest that you could take control of the Suxi Army.”
“Hmm? What do you mean?”
General Qi raised an eyebrow at him, not understanding his meaning.
“The Emperor has died, and the Suxi Army is in disarray. The Third Prince has already sent people to take over, right? What would I do then? It’s not like I have nothing better to do.”
“For the Emperor and Prince Zhanyun’s people, taking over the Suxi Army will not be so easy, but you are different. You are acting on the emperor’s order, and, if I remember correctly, among the ranks of the mighty Suxi Army, there are several fierce generals who hail from the eastern side of the border.”
Xia Huafeng reminded him.
After all, the Qee Family is also a military house of Daqing Kingdom; they shouldn’t be ruined by the old emperor’s suspicions, should they?
“This is also the Third Prince’s intention; he hopes the Qee Family can take over the Suxi Army. As for the supplies and provisions, once you reach the Western Border, there will be people to transport them to you.”
“He could foresee that too?”
General Qi was surprised. The old emperor had just spread the word, and the Third Prince had already sent Xia Hua Feng to play lobbyist here?
But when he thought about it, it made sense. The old emperor’s men were nearly purged by the Third Prince; where else could he find useful people? Thus, he could only put the previously doubted and oppressed ones into use once again.
Who knows, they might even think that the Qee Family would be endlessly grateful for being favored again by the royal family.
“How lucky the emperor must be,” he mused.
“Hmm?”
Xia Huafeng didn’t understand.
The old emperor, fortunate? In their eyes, aside from being ruthless, the old emperor was nothing!
“If he weren’t lucky, how did it happen that he ascended the throne in the first place?” General Qi stated bluntly.
“Uh.”
It was then Xia Huafeng realized that the man opposite him was mocking the old emperor’s intelligence.
Indeed, if not for sheer luck, with such a brain, how would he have managed to ascend the throne? Moreover, during the old emperor’s reign, the earlier years were shouldered by Prince An Yang, and later, Prince Zhanyun.
Daqing Kingdom nearly had nothing to do with the old emperor at all.
Oh, but that’s not to say there was nothing at all; over these years, hadn’t the old emperor been a constant hindrance to Prince An Yang and Prince Zhanyun? Otherwise, Daqing Kingdom would not be what it is today; it would have become powerful enough to make neighboring countries hesitate to offend.
And all of this was ruined by the old emperor himself.
“You prepare yourself. The Qee Family has to make its achievements. The Third Prince and the emperor are different. Father said the Third Prince is the one who resembles the Late Emperor the most among the many princes,” Xia Huafeng advised.
The Late Emperor, the Third Prince’s great-grandfather, had once created a golden age for Daqing Kingdom, which has been gradually destroyed bit by bit after the old emperor took the throne.
