Chapter 290 Withdrawal of Troops

"princess."

Butler Chen nodded slightly to Yu Tingwan, then took the scroll in his hand to Shen Chenli.

"Your Majesty."

"read."

Butler Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded, glanced at the tied Prince Rui, and a cold look flashed across his eyes.

When he opened the scroll, Yu Tingwan could see clearly that it was a bright yellow imperial edict.

"The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun issued an edict:

...The ninth prince, Shen Chenli, will take on the responsibility of supervision. If the emperor is foolish and trusts villains, he can enforce justice on behalf of heaven!"

Acting for heaven?

Everyone looked at Butler Chen in shock, then looked at the thing in his hand, and then looked at Shen Chenli.

In other words, this thing was left to Prince Chen by the late emperor?

The late emperor asked Prince Chen to supervise the emperor to be diligent in his work and love the people, to be close to virtuous ministers and stay away from villains. If the emperor does something absurd, can he take the edict left to Prince Chen and directly replace the emperor?

That, that means, Prince Chen had no reason at all to rebel.

If he wants to be emperor, he just needs to take out the late emperor's will!

"No, it's impossible!"

What was even more unacceptable was Prince Rui. He stared at the imperial edict in Butler Chen's hand and said in disbelief:

"This is fake, this edict must be fake!"

Then he looked up at Shen Chenli again, the hatred and jealousy in his eyes seemed to turn into reality.

"Shen Chenli, you forged this yourself! How could the emperor give you such a will? I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"

Seeing that he seemed to be going crazy, Shen Chenli ignored him and looked at Butler Chen and asked him to continue.

Continue? What else?

Everyone listened curiously again.

I saw Butler Chen take out another booklet from his sleeve, which seemed to have a lot of things written on it.

And when he continued to read out the contents of the booklet, everyone was stunned and could not believe their ears!

Oh my god, what did they hear?

Did the Emperor and the Empress Dowager poison Prince Chen?

Was it also the Emperor and the Empress Dowager who caused Prince Chen to be unconscious and brought to the capital last time?

Prince Chen's mother was also killed by the Queen Mother?

What's more, the Emperor and Prince Rui united with the other four countries and demanded that the four countries cooperate with them to kill Prince Chen in exchange for ceding land?

And...many more things!

Everyone was so scared that they couldn't even kneel steadily. This was a really big deal!

How could this happen? They wouldn't die here today, would they?

At this moment, everyone just hoped that Butler Chen would stop reciting as soon as possible. Is this something that these small fry like them can listen to?

It's a pity that the emperor has done so many terrible things that even Butler Chen is so thirsty from talking about them. The more he talked, the angrier he became. He wished he could go back to the capital right now and drag the emperor down and stab him a few times!

When Butler Chen finally finished reading, Shen Chenli looked up at everyone and spoke with the help of his inner strength. His voice spread across the entire battlefield:

"Emperor Shen Haocang is incompetent and ruthless. He is obsessed with magic and persecutes loyal people. He ignores the people and soldiers at the border. He gave up the kingdom of Dasheng for his own selfish reasons. He is unworthy of being a king. Now, I, following the will of the late emperor, will not ignore the late emperor's expectations and will never let him cede any land. If Shen Haocang insists on doing so, I will fight him!"

"Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty is righteous!"

The crowd shouted loudly, and the sound was endless.

They finally understood why they suddenly wanted to fight Prince Chen.

It was not about suppressing the rebels, but a conspiracy of the emperor. The emperor couldn't stand the fact that Prince Chen was in control of a large army, so he designed one thing after another!

Someone who looked like a small leader straightened up and looked at Shen Chenli, saying excitedly:

"Your Majesty, we don't believe you betrayed Da Sheng. Most of the people don't believe it! But the court is recruiting troops, and we dare not not participate, so we came here. I didn't expect to see you. Can we fight with you? We go to fight the Northern Di people, not our own people!"

Yu Tingwan raised an eyebrow and looked at him. She didn't expect that there was someone here who was brave enough to speak up.

"You can either disband and go home, or stay and obey orders. It is up to the prince to decide who to fight. If possible, the prince does not want to fight with his own people, but the emperor will not leave us a way out. Even if we have to fight, it is not the prince's will!"

When the man heard this, he quickly looked over. Although he didn't know Song Shixu, he knew that anyone who could speak at this time was not an ordinary person.

Then he nodded repeatedly, looked at him and said, "Yes, yes, we all know, we all know, we want to stay, stay!"

In fact, they knew very well in their hearts that they had no other choice. If they returned home at this time, they would definitely be killed by people sent by the court. It would be better for them to stay here and follow Prince Chen.

At this time, this is the only way to go.

After the matter here was resolved, Shen Chenli left some people to guard the place, and then took this group of Da Sheng soldiers and Prince Rui back to the military camp.

When they arrived at the military camp, they first had Prince Rui taken away and kept under solitary custody. As for the soldiers, they also realized that most of them were new recruits, and even if they were to be used, they would need to be trained for a period of time.

Therefore, Shen Chenli handed this matter over to several generals and captains to handle.

And they returned to the main tent to discuss what to do next.

"What's going on with Xi Yan?"

As soon as everyone sat down, Yu Tingwan couldn't wait to ask about Xi Yan's situation.

The main thing is that she doesn’t understand why Shen Chenli came back so soon?

No matter what, it will take a few days, right?

Unexpectedly, when she mentioned this, Shen Chenli looked at her.

"what happened?"

Yu Tingwan was a little curious. What was that look?

Then Shen Chenli said, "Xiyan has temporarily withdrawn its troops."

withdraw troops?

This made Yu Tingwan even more curious. Didn't they say they were going to attack together? Why did Xiyan suddenly withdraw its troops?

Shen Chenli looked at her and continued, "Xiyan originally planned to send out troops, and they had fought several rounds before I arrived. When I just arrived, I heard that the sixteenth prince of Xiyan had arrived at the military camp and ordered the army to withdraw fifty miles from the border."

The sixteenth prince of Xiyan?

"Why? Didn't the sixteenth prince of Xiyan disappear? No, wasn't he said to be dead?"

As soon as Song Shixu said this, he was stopped by General Sun.

He just said hi and said:

"Prince, this is not the point. The point is why he suddenly ordered the troops to withdraw? Is there some other conspiracy?"

Everyone in the tent nodded, agreeing that General Sun was right. Why did the Sixteenth Prince suddenly withdraw his troops? It was abnormal!

When Yu Tingwan heard this, her heartbeat suddenly slowed down. She looked at Shen Chenli and suddenly realized:

"It's him?"

Then Shen Chenli nodded silently.

"I saw him."

So that's why. No wonder.

The back and forth between the two of them made the other people in the tent extremely anxious. Song Shixu even asked directly:

"My Lord and Princess, do you know this Sixteenth Prince?"
