Chapter 1836 The Crown Prince and the Three Elders

Many people were surprised that the prince actually used the title of Madam. With Ji Zongyi's nominal status, it was appropriate to call her Qin Jun or call her by her name. Even if he put some thought into it, it would be fine to call her the princess. But the prince casually used the title of Madam without a surname. However, after thinking about it carefully, many people immediately sighed at the prince's wisdom. The empress claimed to come because of her husband, so she simply called her Madam, perfectly avoiding all contradictions.

Ying Wushuang nodded: "My husband is seriously injured and it is inconvenient to travel far, and the thieves have not been captured yet. Wushuang wants to stay outside Daicheng temporarily to settle down and treat him first. What do you think?"

This made everyone shocked at the same time. She actually proposed to stay at the foot of Mount Taiyue. What about the 100,000 cavalry? Obviously, they have to set up camp. This is... legitimate and not going to leave?

At this time, Shen Tuli also strode forward. The next moment, his action was beyond everyone's expectations. He actually knelt on one knee and saluted solemnly: "Under the command of the King of Zhenxi, Shen Tuli meets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

He did not dismount when facing the five elders just now, but now he directly saluted when meeting the Crown Prince. The strange meaning in it made countless people's minds surge.

Especially the dead elder, his face became more gloomy. Jiang Fan's family servants did not respect Taiyue but respected the imperial court. What does this mean? It means that Jiang Fan himself has this attitude when he is outside.

"Oh? It's General Shentu. I've heard people mention him many times. He is really good at commanding the army and has the style of a great general. Stand up quickly."

Shentu Li stood up and clasped his fists: "My lord is seriously injured and it's not suitable for a bumpy ride. Shentu Li also asks to borrow Daicheng to set up camp temporarily. I hope Your Highness agrees."

Ji Zongyi nodded with a smile: "Devoted to protecting the lord, loyalty is commendable, not bad."

He turned his head and looked at Ying Wushuang: "The King of Zhenxi is seriously injured and unconscious. It is indeed not suitable for a bumpy ride. I have no reason to refuse. The terrain in the east of Daicheng is open, enough to set up camp, and we can settle down temporarily."

He agreed immediately, which was very unexpected. You know, although Daicheng has always been governed by the imperial court in fact, it is a holy city in name after all, belonging to Taiyue. And the prince made this decision without even asking the five elders, which seems inappropriate.

But if you are serious, it is still justifiable, because the imperial court is still the common master of the world in name. In addition to the holy mountain, the imperial court has the right to rule in the vast territory in theory, not to mention outside Daicheng.

The dead behind had a gloomy face, but did not speak out against it. In the competition of power just now, he was at a disadvantage. Although power does not completely represent cultivation, the five elders should be supreme in the world, and power actually lost, which made him very difficult to accept.

But he, and Canxin who helped him, both understood one thing, that the prince actually helped them by doing this, after all, he appeared at the right time and brought the King of Zhenxi, so Ying Wushuang did not have to climb the mountain, thus avoiding more violent conflicts. At the moment, facing the silent battle formation of 100,000 Yuzhou troops, it is obvious that Taiyue will not have any advantage if a more violent conflict breaks out.

Therefore, although they are not happy with the prince's decision, they also understand that this is the best way to deal with the situation at the moment.

But today is indeed the greatest humiliation since death and life. He lost to the empress in power, and lost to the prince in respect. The style of the Yuzhou military has invisibly raised the prince to a very high position.

The matter has not yet ended. The prince proposed to meet with Ying Wushuang, and he stated without any airs that he could meet in the Zhenxi Army tent because of the health of the Zhenxi King.

As the prince of the imperial court, he took the initiative to go down the mountain and go to the so-called "minister" tent. From the surface, he has already condescended to the emperor, but the current situation seems very reasonable.

No one was surprised that the prince wanted to meet the empress of Qin. Even if Ying Wushuang was in the name of husband and wife, he was still the king of Qin in essence. The king of a country came to the imperial court, and he should have a private meeting anyway.

Although people with ulterior motives were speculating what would be said and whether there would be a deal under the table, no one had a suitable reason to dissuade him.

"The couple just met today, I am inconvenient to disturb you. I will come again at noon three days later."

The prince seemed to be very considerate of others, but he gave the other party three days in advance. Obviously, the Yuzhou army would not withdraw soon.

Ying Wushuang was also very polite in front of the prince. After all, the Great Zhou was still the nominal ruler of the world. Although she proclaimed herself as an emperor, the Qin State was founded by the Great Zhou. Therefore, even though Ying Wushuang had shown her ambition to rule the world, she did not do anything overbearing on the basis of equal status.

After the two sides agreed, Ying Wushuang lifted the soft couch with one hand and walked straight to the Yuzhou army without looking at the three elders of Taiyue again.

The prince watched her leave with an intriguing look. After a while, he turned back and returned to the mountain gate to greet the five elders.

"Ji Zongyi, I meet the three elders." He looked calm and just bowed slightly. This etiquette was still decent.

As the crown prince of the imperial court, Ji Zongyi is the regent of the country and can be considered as a half-step emperor. Although the imperial court is in name only, his status and position are still equal to the three elders on the surface. Therefore, his courtesy is more like a courtesy of a junior.

Yousi has been looking gloomy, and snorted coldly: "The crown prince... is very good at choosing the timing..."

Ji Zongyi seemed to be stunned: "Respected elder, I don't quite understand what you mean. Is it not the right time for me to come?"

Yousi choked for a moment. She came at the right time, otherwise it would be shame for him and the Holy Land.

"Humph! The crown prince knows that this thief is offending the Holy Land and ignoring the imperial court. Is the crown prince too weak to act like this!"

"Your Excellency is wrong." Who would have thought that the prince would directly refute him. After Taiyue in the imperial court, even the emperor had not done this. The three elders were slightly stunned.

The prince said seriously: "The King of Zhenxi is seriously injured. Not to mention that they are husband and wife, I am also very worried about my subjects. I am anxious and it is inevitable that I will act impulsively. This is human nature. Your Excellency is admired by the world and has a heart as big as the sea. He should not be unable to tolerate even this little thing."

"You..." Yousi was choked again. Before he could get angry, Ji Zongyi showed a faint smile.

"So, your Excellency is testing the mind of the younger generation. I wonder if the younger generation has disappointed you. Learn from your Excellency."

These words completely blocked Yousi's words. It has come to this point. Yousi really can't slap himself in the face. He stared at Ji Zongyi with a pair of gray eyes for a moment, and finally nodded expressionlessly: "Prince, you did a good job... Go back to the mountain."

After that, he turned and left.

Canxin glanced at the prince, nodded slightly, and followed Yousi away.

When the sick elder saw the two disappear, he sighed: "Prince, you are too prominent."

The prince still stared at the direction where the two elders left, and said indifferently: "This time as regent, I have already started to make a big splash, not just this time, and will continue in the future."
