"Call Prime Minister Xian over. Tell him to prepare for the arrangement for war." Emperor Yang Zhou's expression turned somewhat cold. "We'll attack Zhang Xu Kingdom."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Emperor Yang Zhou knew very well that this earthquake was simply a chance given to them. Even if they couldn't fully conquer Zhang Xu Kingdom through this chance, they could push the border further into Zhang Xu Kingdom's territory.
War has always been cruel.
Even if one knew that they were taking advantage of the other party, they understood that if they were in the same situation, it was impossible for them not to take the chance. That was because what they wanted from a war was simply victory.
For victory, it was unknown what they could possibly do.
Many things could be done and taking advantage of other people's disaster was simply one of them.
Before long, Prime Minister Xian had arrived. It was holiday, but as the Prime Minister, he had long expected that he wouldn't be able to rest if there was an emergency. And this earthquake was simply a chance sent to them.
Asking them to wait for Zhang Xu Kingdom to recover?
Sorry, that was impossible.
It was estimated that if an earthquake were to happen in Fei Yang Kingdom, Zhang Xu Kingdom would surely send their soldiers to their gate first. Since they wished to take over the other kingdom, they would use whatever means necessary to achieve it.
"Your Majesty, all the preparation had been made and there are several tactics that had been developed. This subject plans to send the few capable generals to lead the war against Zhang Xu Kingdom."
Emperor Yang Zhou nodded. "I'm going personally this time."
Prime Minister Xian paused for a moment before cupping his fist. "There will be a total of three large front of the battlefield. This subject advised His Majesty to stay with Great General Wei and participated in the war with him."
Rather than making his older brother doubt him, it would be better for him to live a good life with his wife.
Anyway, it was good to be idle.
But when he heard that his older brother actually asked him to help with the defense department, Prince Yang Lu was stupefied.
"This subject brother accepts the edict," Prince Yang Lu answered absentmindedly when the eunuch came and handed him the edict.
The eunuch smiled. "His Majesty had high expectation of you, Your Highness. This servant wished that Your Highness will be able to fulfill His Majesty's wishes and protect Fei Yang Kingdom's safety."
Prince Yang Lu's lips twitched. "Ben Wang understands."
After saying a few more words, the eunuch left and Prince Yang Lu was left with the Imperial Edict in his hand. He looked at the content and knew that his brother was actually asking him to go back to the court.
He's already an adult.
And the few battles in the past and the lives he had recently had long tempered his will. Still, he didn't understand why his brother would want to hand over the power to him again.
Even if the power was simply to be a minister, it was still power nevertheless.
"Your Highness," Princess Mu Fei Xin called softly.
Prince Yang Lu glanced to look at his wife. "Xin'er, do you think I should go?"
Princess Mu Fei Xin blinked her eyes and smiled sweetly. "His Majesty is asking for your help, Your Highness. This consort will support you in whatever decision you make."
Hearing that, Prince Yang Lu was silent. He knew that his wife would support him no matter what as she had always done. The two of them were in tacit understanding in regards to this matter.
"Take care of Little Yao at home. I'll go."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Little Yao is the nickname of their daughter. She was born a few months ago and Princess Mu Fei Xin loved her daughter so much. Being a mother made her happy as she had long wanted to have a child on her own.
