Possessed by Luffy's fruit, I went crazy in ancient times

Chapter 68 Taking Over Power
  The old eunuch raised his head and sneered: "Prince Jin, don't be in a hurry to thank me. This old slave came to announce the decree under His Majesty's order. Naturally, I have something to say."

He let go of the two little eunuchs holding his arms, reached into his sleeves, and took out a secret letter with wax poured on it.

He looked at the envelope, raised his eyes and handed it to Yeshang, saying, "Prince Jin, see for yourself." He had been beaten just now, and he couldn't care less about the pain in his chest at this moment.

He has the final say on whether the rules and regulations are appropriate or not.

As for His Majesty, as long as he doesn't say anything, these people won't dare to talk nonsense.

Yeshang took the envelope expressionlessly. He was also surprised that His Majesty remained silent this time about military power. He did not say a word about the placement of a hundred thousand troops and the return of the troops to the court.

If the old eunuch hadn't been frightened just now and offered to return to Beijing immediately, Ye Shang would have already thought that his father had changed his gender.

He opened it in front of the old eunuch. After reading it, he frowned slightly, and then quickly relaxed.

The content of the letter was indeed what he had guessed, and His Majesty was still wary of his military power.

Before the old eunuch could speak, Ye Shang said: "Please tell your majesty, father-in-law, that I will hand over all the troops of one hundred thousand to Marshal Xue."

When the people present heard this, their faces turned blue.

Especially Lieutenant General Du, when he heard the right to engage in battle, he clenched the long sword in his hand a little harder, and his face was as black as coal.

That is, Ye Shang's face is still expressionless.

The old eunuch had been staring at Yeshang's face from the beginning and saw that Yeshang didn't show any dissatisfaction. He withdrew his gaze with a hint of disappointment and said, "The old slave will tell His Majesty exactly what he said, and please ask King Jin and Marshal Xue to come as soon as possible." "Lead the troops back to the DPRK"

After the old eunuch finished speaking, he left the hall with the help of the young eunuch.

The deputy general had already ordered people to prepare two-day rations and kept up with the old eunuch.

Xu Yihuan looked at Yeshang thoughtfully. The ending was exactly the same as what Magistrate Liu said.

By the way, where is County Magistrate Liu?
  When the imperial edict came, as the magistrate of Xiaocheng County, shouldn't he also come to listen to the edict?

Seeing that Ye Shang had no intention of mentioning it, Xu Yihuan didn't take the initiative to ask.

Vice General Du watched the old eunuch disappear in front of the Xiaocheng Mansion before he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, do you really want to hand it over?"

There was always a lot of unwillingness in his heart. Every time the kingdom that the prince had worked so hard to build would be taken away by his majesty for various reasons, and there were never fewer threats.

He felt aggrieved for his own prince, as well as Miss Xu's marriage. Why did His Majesty think that the two of them were not suitable for marriage, and rejected the prince's efforts for so many days?

Xu Yihuan stood there in a daze, still thinking about the handover of power by a hundred thousand troops in his mind, completely unaware that Ye Shang and Vice General Du were fixating their eyes on his face at this moment.

The handover of power by a hundred thousand troops was expected by Yeshang. His Majesty's desire to terminate the engagement was unexpected. According to His Majesty's normal operation, he revealed his intention to terminate the engagement in this way because he wanted Yeshang to propose it himself.

How could Yeshang not understand His Majesty's intentions, but this time, he no longer decided to act according to His Majesty's wishes.

Don’t even think about breaking off the engagement.

He clutched the imperial edict in his hand tightly.

Magistrate Liu and the times he rushed to be alone with Miss Xu came to mind, and I felt extremely uncomfortable.

Could it be that Miss Xu regretted hearing the imperial edict?
  Ye Shang's heart was agitated.

Lieutenant General Du didn't even listen to a word he said.

Xu Yihuan came out of the hall with a heavy heart and went straight to Magistrate Liu's yard.

She never thought that she would be in vain after entering.

But she saw Xiaochun walking from the direction of her yard with food. When she saw Xu Yihuan, Xiaochun's face immediately broke into a smile and said: "Miss Xu, County Magistrate Liu ordered someone to send you food. He has something to go out today. , I can’t come to eat with you.” Xu Yihuan nodded: “Okay” and turned around to take Xiaochun and the maid back to her yard to have dinner.

Yeshang did not fight with Magistrate Liu this time. The things in his kitchen had cooled down a lot. In addition, Miss Xu had not had a good appetite in the past two days, so he was wise enough not to order the kitchen to cook, but it was all cheaper for the army. Soldiers.

In the past two days, the lieutenants and generals of the army were full of food.

But when he thought that Miss Xu would go straight to Magistrate Liu's yard as soon as she left the hall, Ye Shang's face became extremely dark.

Ever since the old eunuch left, Vice Admiral Du has been observing Yeshang. He also saw what Ye Shang was thinking, which was because he was worried that his wife would run away.

Also, after being called a slut by his three fiancées, he finally found a woman who was willing to get along with him, but was about to be torn apart by his own father with just a few words. No matter who he was, he felt uncomfortable.

Therefore, after Miss Xu left, Lieutenant General Du followed Ye Shang even more cautiously.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them left the hall, an uninvited guest came to the door.

The Sixth Prince ordered people to carry King Pingzhang and the Fifth Prince on the stretcher, followed by Marshal Xue, who came to ask for the military talisman in person.

As soon as Ye Shang saw several people coming excitedly, he guessed their intentions.

He didn't hold him back. As soon as Marshal Xue came in and sat down, Ye Shang directly took out the military talisman from his sleeve and presented it with both hands.

Even Marshal Xue was frightened when he saw it.

He didn't expect Yeshang to be so cheerful. Of course, he was not ambiguous at all. After taking the military talisman, he asked Yeshang for the silver he had stolen from the sixth prince.

Ye Shang was not polite and asked Vice General Du to take out the ration account book and handed the remaining money to Marshal Xue.

After reading it, Marshal Xue was stunned.

Of the hundreds of thousands taels of military rations, only ten thousand taels were spent within a few days of Yeshang's possession.

The one who had the biggest reaction was not Marshal Xue, but the three princes.

The sixth prince was even more angry and stepped forward to beat Yeshang, but he was knocked down by Yeshang with three punches and two kicks.

King Pingzhang and the Sixth Prince were lying on the stretcher, their faces even red with anger, but today they often reminded themselves not to get angry.

Vice Admiral Cui acted like a good old man for once today. When he saw the two His Highnesses on the stretcher, he was so angry that he immediately said what the doctor said.

Directly calm down the anger of the two Highnesses.

Lieutenant General Du was full of joy, and secretly praised the prince and Miss Xu for their wisdom in buying more than half a month's worth of military rations for the 100,000 troops in advance. It was better to buy from the best. They also prepared a lot of rice, meat, grains and noodles. The direct meaning is Make up for the food you owe in the past three months.

He was also worried that the three princes would ask the soldiers to collect grain, and they had distributed the military grain as early as yesterday.

A group of people came excitedly and left angrily.

Without the 100,000 troops, the burden on Ye Shangdi's shoulders was suddenly empty.

He can concentrate on thinking about Miss Xu's affairs. As for the squadron's return to the court, he can leave the camp directly with 200 guards after Marshal Xue gives the order.

The Sixth Prince angrily left Xiaocheng Mansion and went straight to the most luxurious inn in the city.

After four months of hard work in the military camp, he could no longer hold back the desire to have a beautiful woman in his arms, with fine wine and delicious food at his table.

Therefore, the group of people moved the military camp directly to the most luxurious inn in Xiaocheng.
