Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 310 - 308: The Anomaly of the Sixth Prince

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the young Emperor received the diplomatic letter.

Then he immediately opened and began to read it.

However, as his gaze passed over the letter, his expression became increasingly unsightly.

This scene also caused the group of ministers below to start whispering and discussing amongst themselves.

They were all guessing what exactly was written in the diplomatic letter to make His Majesty’s expression look so unpleasant?

After reading the diplomatic letter in his hand, the young Emperor did not speak but instead signaled to a eunuch beside him to pass the letter around for the ministers below to read.

Leading them were the two Princes and the Ministers of Six Ministries, among others.

Without exception, after they read the diplomatic letter, all of them were fuming with rage, their faces filled with anger.

The Fourth Prince took a step forward and, after bowing to the young Emperor, opened his mouth and said:

"Your Majesty, these barbarians are too bullying, daring to make such unreasonable demands.

And as for the matter of the two Princes they mentioned, we have absolutely no knowledge of it; they are fabricating things out of thin air."

Seeing the Fourth Prince’s expression and his indignant demeanor, the young Emperor couldn’t help but let the corners of his mouth lift in a disdainful smile.

This old guy was really putting on a good performance; if someone didn’t know better, they might think he was extremely patriotic.

In reality, everything stemmed from this old guy.

Those barbarians’ two Princes had also died at the hands of the Fourth Prince.

All that this old guy was showing now was just trying to extricate himself from the situation.

But obviously, he was being too clever by half.

The young Emperor wasn’t falling for any of this.

More so, no one was more aware of the ins and outs of this matter than the young Emperor.

All was under the surveillance of the Shadow Guard.

"I too feel that these barbarians are utterly disrespectful.

And it is very possible that they are using this as an opportunity to find an excuse to launch an attack on our great You Country."

"Yes indeed, these guys really dare to make outrageous demands.

Not to mention whether these two Princes ever truly came to our great You Country, or whether they actually died here.

Just look at the compensation they are demanding, it is utterly unreasonable!

Demanding so much silver, so much grain, and other materials from us for no reason, this is outright robbery."

As more and more people below had read the diplomatic letter, each began to discuss it amongst themselves.

The content of these barbarians’ diplomatic letter was very straightforward and clear.

It started by stating that their two Princes had been killed here.

And it was done by the high-ranking individuals on this side.

Therefore, they demanded compensation from You Country, and the amount of compensation they were asking for was astronomical, demanding no less than fifty million taels of silver alone.

Not to mention, the grain and fabrics were countless.

If we were to compensate as demanded, the entire National Treasury of You Country would not be enough.

While watching everyone below discussing animatedly and filled with righteous indignation, the young Emperor also looked towards the Fourth Prince and spoke:

"These people really have the audacity, bringing 1000 men straight to My Capital City, and they even want to threaten Yu Zhen, huh, truly laughable!

Fourth Imperial Uncle, I now command you to take your men there and teach them a lesson."

Upon hearing these words, Fourth Prince, who had been full of righteous indignation, was suddenly stunned.

For a moment, he doubted whether he had heard wrong.

What did the Emperor just say? He actually wants me to go teach those barbarians a lesson?

This must be a joke. There are fully 1000 of those barbarians this time, and without thinking, one knows that every single one of them is a peerless master. Facing such people, how can I dare to go looking for trouble?

After all, on the battlefield, weapons do not have eyes, and one stray arrow could take my old life!

Thus, one saw the wily old thing immediately step forward, bowing to the young Emperor, his face looking tremendously tragic:

"Your Majesty, your old servant is willing to go, but I fear that while my heart is willing, my strength is insufficient.

After all, this time, 1000 barbarians have come, and as of now, I don’t have a single soldier at my command, which truly puts your servant in a difficult position.

Why not let my younger brother, the Sixth Prince, lead the troops? After all, the soldiers of the Zhenghuang Battalion are still under his command.

Those barbarians are all outside the city, which is exactly what the Sixth Prince should be in charge of."

The Sixth Prince, who had been somewhat looking forward to the spectacle, almost jumped in anger upon hearing this, cursing inside.

Well done, you Fourth Uncle, so sinister to push such a matter onto me.

It’s true that the forces of the Zhengfang Battalion are under my command, but I cannot allow them to suffer any harm.

You must know, my ability to securely hold this princely position is entirely reliant on those soldiers!

If my soldiers under my command suffer any losses, then I’m afraid my position might become unstable.

When that time comes, the young Emperor might use some lame excuse to send me off to some desolate and unproductive land.

However, at this moment, I really have no way to refuse.

After all, those barbarians are right on the outskirts of the Capital City, and my own Zheng Battalion is stationed outside the city. It’s impossible to justify not deploying them now.

But suddenly, he had an idea as his eyes cunningly turned.

So he stepped forward, bowing to the young Emperor:

"Fourth Brother speaks logically. The Zhenghuang Battalion is indeed stationed outside the city, and hence, it is appropriate for your servant to handle this matter.

I am willing to lead the troops and show these men some force, to let them know the might of Your Majesty."

No one would have expected the Sixth Prince to say such a thing.

For a moment, it left everyone somewhat unable to regain their senses.

Especially Fourth Prince, whose heart was particularly uneasy at this moment, uncertain about what his Sixth Brother was plotting.

I never expected that he would actually agree to this; I thought that the Sixth Prince would do everything possible to shirk this matter.

Even the young Emperor on the Dragon Chair did not anticipate that the Sixth Prince would agree so readily; this was not in his character at all.

But at this moment, since the other party had spoken, I could no longer say anything else but nod my head in agreement, allowing him to go and teach them a lesson.

What nobody noticed was that after responding to the young Emperor and lowering his head again, a sly look flashed in the eyes of the Sixth Prince.

After discussing this matter, the young Emperor then proceeded to close the court session.

And he ordered a fast horse to rush to Nanshan Base, instructing Lin Yi to immediately come for an audience.
