Chapter 931: Consequences, competitors



Chapter 931: Consequences, competitors

The third prince arrogantly led the troops to rescue the seventh prince but instead beat the dog with the meat bun, and he was also captured.

The news spread to the Central Empire, and the whole country was furious, especially the Emperor, who was eager to kill.

“They simply don’t take me seriously!” The dignified prince of the Central Empire has become a hostage in the hands of bandits again. If this spreads out, how will the Central Empire’s face be saved?

“Your Majesty, what should we do now?” Seeing the Emperor’s rage, the ministers couldn’t help but remind him.

Now was not the time to be angry!

What they have to do now is to find a way to save people!

“What should we do? You asked me what to do. Why do I support you?” The Emperor was already angry, and he wanted to kill someone after hearing this.

But the ministers deeply understood how to get along with the Emperor. Before the Emperor could get angry, they knelt and said, “Your Majesty, calm down your anger.”

“Calm down, how do you want me to calm down? My two sons have been kidnapped, but you guys are telling me to calm down. How do you want me to calm down?” The Emperor was so angry that he threw the cup on the table, and the pieces scattered on the floor. It jumped on the minister’s face, causing blood to flow, but no one dared to move rashly.

“Your Majesty, the bandits have two princes as hostages. At this time, we should not attack forcefully, we can only outsmart them.” A minister said smartly.

“Outsmart? Are you going to tell me next how to outsmart him?” Anyone with a brain knows that it was not appropriate to take action at this time, but outsmarting someone was not simply just talking.

“Let’s comply with the bandits’ request and rescue the two princes first, and then send out troops to besiege them.” To put it nicely, this means being outspoken, but to put it worse, it means doing what the bandits say.

“What if the bandits run away after getting gold?” If the Central Empire uses gold to redeem people, what will happen to the Central Empire’s face?

If this matter had not been exposed, the Central Empire might do it. But now that it has been exposed, the people of the country and even the enemy countries are watching. If they used gold to redeem people, wouldn’t it show that the Central Empire was incompetent and could not even catch a few bandits?

“Although the sea area is large, the distance they can travel is limited. If we arranged our manpower in advance, we can ambush them.” The smart minister said proudly, but before he could finish speaking, the Emperor hit him on the head with a paperweight. : “Do you know how big the sea area is? Without millions of soldiers and horses, it is impossible to block the sea area, stupid. Do you want me to mobilize a million soldiers and horses just to surround a few bandits?”

“Moreover, do you think those bandits have no brains? Will they not know anything about sending out dozens or millions of troops? Most importantly, do you have the ability to mobilize millions of troops to block the sea area in one day? “

The soldiers and horses have not moved, but the food and grass have gone first. Do these idiots who only know how to send troops know how big a movement a single troop movement can cause?

The bandits only gave them two days. How would he mobilize so many soldiers and horses in two days?

These idiots don’t think that the Central Empire’s soldiers and horses can fly and reach their destination in one day, right?

“This, this…” The smart minister did not dare to speak anymore.

He only knows how to use paper and doesn’t know anything about actual battle, so… he can come up with such a method.

With regard to the bandits’ request and redeem the people with gold, the Emperor doesn’t agree. However, mobilizing troops… They can’t rush there within one day. If they rush over there, he is afraid it will alert the enemy and anger them.

This won’t work, and that won’t work either. The ministers don’t know what to do.

At this time, the Eldest Prince asked to see him.

The eldest prince was brave and good at fighting, but because of his image as a warrior and the fact that the Emperor didn’t like him that much, his status in the hearts of the civil and military ministers was not high. When the Eldest Prince asked for an audience, all the ministers were puzzled.

What does the Eldest Prince who likes to solve problems with his fists try to do?

What does the Eldest Prince want?

Of course, he came to ask for imperial order.

The bandits asked the princes of the Central Empire to send gold to redeem the people. However, first, the Seventh Prince was kidnapped, and now the Third Prince was captured alive. All the princes of the Central Empire shrank one by one, and no one dared to move.

Although this was a good opportunity to do meritorious deeds, God knows whether he could do meritorious deeds or not. If they fail like the Third Prince, it will be tragic.

In line with the principle of not doing something bad, all the princes of the Central Empire found reasons to avoid it. Even in order not to pay the ransom, the princes of the Central Empire instigated their subordinates to arouse the anger of the people against the bandits and forced the Emperor not to take the gold to redeem the people.

As for the fate of the Third Prince and the Seventh Prince?

Well, although they were brothers, they were also competitors. The loss of two competitors will not harm them at all. They were stupid to save their competitors.

At this time, no prince took the initiative to ask for help, and everyone tacitly agreed to remain silent. The ministers of civil and military affairs also remained silent and never mentioned asking the prince to use gold to redeem people.

The ministers were so cold-blooded. The Seventh Prince and the Third Prince were kidnapped by bandits. No matter what the reason was, in the eyes of the people of the Central Empire, they were incompetent, and incompetent people had no chance to ascend to the throne.

These two princes were destined to be insulated from the throne the moment they fell into the hands of bandits. Under such circumstances, it would be foolish to offend other princes who may ascend to the throne for the sake of those two princes.

But just when everyone thought that no prince would come forward, the Eldest Prince came to see the Emperor and took the initiative to ask for imperial order. He asked the Emperor to give him one hundred taels of gold and give him the 100,000 people the third prince had taken away earlier. He promised to use the one hundred taels of gold to rescue the Third and Seventh princes. If they could not be rescued, he would pay with his life.

The Eldest Prince was smart enough not to promise that he would also catch the bandits. It would not be good for him to talk too much at this time.

Crazy, he is crazy!

Hearing the Eldest Prince’s words, all the ministers looked admiring on their faces, but secretly cursed the eldest prince as a lunatic and stupid. The Eldest Prince’s grandfather was even more anxious, but in front of the Emperor, he didn’t dare to speak, he could only look at the Eldest Prince anxiously, constantly signaling him with his eyes to let him change his mind.

However, the Eldest Prince did not look at him at all.

When the Emperor confirmed, again and again, the Eldest Prince expressed firmly that he was very sure.

“Okay, I will give you 100 taels of gold.” Using gold to redeem people was an option that the Central Empire could not make, but it was also the only option.

The bandits asked for two hundred taels of gold, but they would only give one hundred. Although they also compromised with the bandits, at least they looked good.

“This son will live up to his father’s expectations.” The Eldest Prince accepted the order without any uneasiness or pride, only determination.

At that moment, in the eyes of the Emperor and the ministers, the image of the Eldest Prince seemed to be much taller.

With the Eldest Prince coming forward, the matter was settled. While the princes were laughing at the Eldest Prince’s stupidity, they were also secretly happy that he was so stupid. If the stupid Eldest Prince hadn’t come forward to get rid of the trouble, things might have changed. What will be the outcome?

Although they were constantly fanning the flames, creating public opinion, guiding the people, and forcing their father not to use gold as ransom, the kidnapped people were the princes of the Central Empire after all. Their father, even for the sake of the Central Empire’s face, openly refuses to give money. But who knows what it was like in private?

Now, the Eldest Prince was responsible for everything, and the consequences will be borne by him… …
