Cai Gui's beauty scheme worked in the Ann Country, so this was a rare opportunity for the Feng Country. Firstly, Yue Ze stealing the wife had already caused public outrage in the Ann Country, and secondly, he was infatuated with Li Meier, ignoring the politics of the empire, it had caused great chaos in the Ann Country.
This was the right time to send out their troops. Of course, before Feng Country sends troops, they should also do it to the best of their ability.
Cai Gui suggested to Tang Yin that they should immediately have the Son of Heaven order them to condemn Yue Ze's actions and order them to send him out of the palace to end this ridiculous matter.
Taking advantage that Yue Ze was still infatuated with Li Meier, once he gets tired of the Son of Heaven and issues the decree, it would be meaningless.
Tang Yin accepted Cai Gui's suggestion. That day, he went to the palace and asked to see Yin Zhun. Yue Ze stealing his son's wife was extremely vile in Yin Zhun's eyes. Now that Tang Yin asked him to issue an edict to denounce him, Yin Zhun did not even hesitate, he immediately agreed and casually wrote an imperial decree, reprimanding Yue Ze for going against the wishes of others, and demanding that he return Li Meier to Li Meier and stop her persecution of Yue Xin.
Yin Zhun's royal decree was sent to the Imperial Town of the nation by an envoy of the imperial government, day and night.
After Yue Ze received the decree, he scoffed at. He respected Yin Zhun and called him the Son of Heaven, if he did not respect, then what did he count as? He was just the puppet emperor in the hands of the Feng Country.
The development of the situation was exactly as Cai Gui had expected. Yue Ze, who had been completely captivated by Li Meier, completely ignored the Heavenly Emperor's decree. She did not even write a reply letter as she directly sent the envoy back.
It was just that after that, Yue Ze wrote a letter to Tang Yin, in which he did not mention anything about Li Meier, but rather discussed the alliance between the two countries, and gave him a generous present.
Yue Ze's meaning was very clear, he did not care what the Son of Heaven thought of him, as long as he could strengthen the alliance between Ann Country and himself, and firmly hold the Feng Country in place, even if everyone in the world were to oppose him, it would not matter.
How could Tang Yin not know what he was thinking? The latter did not write him a book, but instead gave him a generous gift, deliberately giving Yue Ze the illusion that his Feng Country treasured his relationship with the Ann Country greatly. In private, however, the Feng Country began to move south quietly.
The first to go south was the Ninth Army led by Qi Heng, followed by the Directly Subordinate Army. The direction of Ann Country was also aware. After the Left Prime Minister Gao Zhen received the news, she entered the palace overnight, wanting to seek an audience with Yue Ze.
But at this time, Yue Ze and Li Meier were having fun in their palace, how could they have the mood to see him? He ordered for Gao Zhen to return immediately. If anything happens, wait until tomorrow at Morning Meeting.
Gao Zhen had no choice but to leave the palace. At the Morning Meeting the next day, Yue Ze did not go to court, but had Right Prime Minister Wu Sizong take charge of the court affairs for him. Gao Zhen was furious, he did not care about the people blocking him, and rushed into the harem, to see the King.
As the Minister of the Left, Gao Zhen had great prestige in the Ann Country, and the palace guards did not dare to attack him, neither did they obstruct him. While they were in a dilemma, Yue Ze, who had not appeared for many days, finally came out of the palace.
Yue Ze was extremely dissatisfied with Gao Zhen's attempt to barge through the palace, but he could not reprimand the old official, so he asked with a smile: "Master Gao, I have already told you, if you are not feeling well, then don't go up to court."
Gao Zhen suppressed his anger and said seriously: "Your Majesty, a change is happening in the north now. If Your Majesty still disregards the imperial government, my Ann Country ? I'm afraid that you will end up in the same state as Mo and Huan! "
Yue Ze was shocked upon hearing this. He blinked his eyes and asked: "Master Gao, what happened?"
Gao Zhen swallowed his saliva and was about to speak, but then he turned and looked at Li Meier, he swallowed the words that were about to leave his mouth and said: "I hope that the King can attend the meeting at the imperial court."
"Alright then!" Yue Ze nodded his head, but he did not loosen his hold on Li Meier, he embraced her and said gently: "Ai Ji, follow me into the court!"
"Great King!" Gao Zhen was anxious and angry. His face flushed red, and his body trembled all of a sudden.
Seeing that the old man was so angry that it seemed as if she was going to swallow him whole, Li Meier trembled and subconsciously leaned towards Yue Ze and said softly: "The King bringing chenqie to court is against the rules and also against the rules. It's better not to."
Yue Ze laughed with his back facing the sky, and used his fingertips to lightly scratch Li Meier's pink cheeks, and praised: "This king knows the truth. There's no need to worry. This King can say whatever she wants, but no one can think of separating This King and Edger. "
The words were said towards Li Meier, but in reality, it was said towards Gao Zhen.
He ignored Li Meier's objections and dragged her towards the main hall of the palace. Gao Zhen stood in place and couldn't help but look up at the sky and sigh. It seemed that his Ann Country was going to end in disaster soon enough.
When Yue Ze carried Li Meier into the great hall and sat down on the Throne's seat, everyone present was stunned. Amongst all the kingdoms under heaven, which of the previous rulers had brought a precedent of a imperial concubine coming to court? What is the King trying to do?
Yue Ze did not care about the strange looks from the crowd, he pulled Li Meier's hand and looked around at the officials from the two classes, and said: "Master Gao said that there has been a change in the northern part of the country, I wonder, what has happened?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Chief General among the Left Class Ministers stepped out and said with his hands cupped in front of his chest: "Great King, the Ninth Army and Directly Subordinate Army of Feng Country have left their respective Zhenjiang and are headed south. It looks like the great king needs to make arrangements as soon as possible if he wants to scheme against our country!"
Yue Ze was startled, he blinked his eyes, then looked at Gao Zhen and asked: "Is the urgent military matter that Senior Gao mentioned about this?"
"That's right!" Gao Zhen nodded his head.
"Ha ha!" Yue Ze laughed, and shook his head: "I was just wondering what happened. It's just that Feng Country transferred two legions to the south, is there really a need to scare everyone to this extent?"2
"My King," Gao Zhen said anxiously, "The Ninth Army is the Heavy Cavalry Army with the strongest battle power, and the Directly Subordinate Army Army is the Directly Subordinate Army Army beside the Feng King. The movement of these two armies is not a small matter, and that means the Feng Army is intentionally heading south, wanting to make a move against our country!"
"What a joke!" Yue Ze waved his hand and said, "An Feng and his country are allies. Why would Feng Country attack us for no reason? I, like a mirror, am currently engaged in battle with the Western Pandas' Biar. The Pingyuan Army and Sanshui Army are all within the borders of the Biar, and the insides of the Feng Country are also unstable, so when there was a large number of changes in officials a while ago, it caused rebellion everywhere. Feng Country has long been scattered throughout the various counties of the Feng Country, and there were even bandits and robbers exterminated. This king tells you all, there is only one possibility for the Directly Subordinate Army and the Ninth Army to head south, and that is to stabilize the counties south of the Feng Country.
Many civil officials also felt that Gao Zhen and some of the generals were making a big fuss out of nothing. With the Feng Country's current internal and external situation, how could they dare to use troops against the Ann Country, even if its fighting strength was not as good as theirs, it was not enough to let the Directly Subordinate Army and Ninth Army, who were merely two hundred thousand people, defeat it in one fell swoop!
Gao Zhen shook his head and said: "Great king, as the Minister of the Left, I am responsible for my safety. With regards to the unusual movement of the Feng Army, and my intentions are unknown, we cannot and should not treat it as such, so I suggest that we dispatch the Chief General and Bai Qing, two hundred thousand soldiers each to station in Chizhou, two commanderies, in order to prevent any accidents. In addition, we can also send one hundred thousand of the Middle General's troops to station at the Tiantu County, to immediately send reinforcements whenever there is a war in the north."
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Yue Ze had already impatiently interrupted him: "No need to say anymore, Master Gao, what are you doing? Using several tens of thousands of heavy soldiers in the various counties in the north, isn't this equivalent to telling Feng Country that I don't trust it and am always on guard against it? Isn't this intentionally undermining the alliance between the two countries? The place where my Ann Country focuses on defense is not the north, but the south. If I do not see that you are an old subject from the imperial court, based on the words that you just said, I should be able to punish you for your crimes! "
Seeing that the King simply did not listen to his suggestion, Gao Zhen became anxious, and said in a deep voice, "My King, Chuan Country is not scary, at least their Chuan Country emphasizes etiquette, integrity, and morals. What is terrifying is the barbarian race of the north ? ? Feng Country! How can there be credibility and morals to it? If the Great King views Feng Country as an ally, then that would be a grave mistake, because the lesson learned from Mo Country is still fresh in his mind! "
Gao Zhen's words had hit the nail on the head, and Li Meier, who was sitting beside him, shivered. She subconsciously grabbed onto Yue Ze's hand.
Yue Ze felt her nervousness and thought that she was scared off by Gao Zhen's red face and thick neck. He frowned, extended a hand, and pointed at Gao Zhen, saying unhappily: "Master Gao, you're already a long time old.
Gao Zhen's nose was about to go crooked. At this time, the King was still concerned about his beloved sister, not the safety of her Ann Country. He shouted, "Your Majesty!"
"Enough, enough. This King knows that This King will not be able to convince you, but you will also not be able to convince This King. Let's discuss this matter in the future!" While talking, Yue Ze pulled Li Meier and stood up, and waved her hand: "If you are a part of the My beloved deputy, then we will disperse ourselves. Also, in the future, don't discuss such trivial matters in the imperial court, waste your time, you have the interest of a villain!"
Yue Ze carried Li Meier and left, leaving the ministers of the imperial court looking at each other.
After an unknown amount of time, everyone returned to their senses, shook their heads and sighed, then whispered: "Even if Feng Country does not intend to send troops to our country, it is still not a good thing for our King to be infatuated with Lady Yanning to such an extent!"
"That's right, what should we do in the future when the King is like this?"
The ministers shook their heads as they walked out of the hall with a helpless look on their faces. Gao Zhen stood in his original position without moving. At this moment, he could even see the miserable state of his own side as the flames of war from the north ignited.
