Chapter 1012: Abandoned Enemy Country Proton 21
Yue Mocheng did not attend the Yun Kingdom's military inspection, but he was in the Dayue military camp and could still hear the sound of artillery fire, the sound of the city walls collapsing, and the loud and majestic roars of the Yun Kingdom soldiers.
There is no doubt that the soldiers of Dayue also heard these noises, and their already low morale became even more vulnerable.
Yue Mocheng knew that regardless of whether he participated in Yun State's military inspection or not, the deterrent effect that Yun Yi wanted had been achieved.
Qian Fengyan and Xiao Quan participated in the military inspection. It was obvious that they were going to change their allegiance.
"Your Highness, news has come from the capital of Yun State that the Fourth Prince Yun Feng has been murdered and is in a coma."
On the second day after the military inspection, the spy lurking in Yunguojing brought the news.
Yun Feng was murdered and fell into coma?
Now that Yun Yi is at the border and the old emperor is ill, shouldn't the Empress and her son have the final say in the capital? How could Yun Feng be murdered?
"Who did it?"
"I heard it was the imprisoned Third Prince, Yun Yan," the attendant said. "After the Fourth Prince fell unconscious, the Queen ordered a thorough search of his residence. They found the poison in a servant's box. After interrogation, they discovered that the servant was Yun Yan's accomplice."
It is well-reasoned and has a beginning and an end.
Everything seems so reasonable, but now the Fourth Prince is in a coma and no one can threaten Yun Yi's position anymore.
The Queen's maternal family, the Chen clan, supports Yun Yi and can also gain the merit of following the dragon. There is no other choice.
Yue Mocheng didn’t know whether Yun Yi was behind this, and it was meaningless to explore it now.
He had sent two groups of people to approach Yun Feng before, but Yun Yi only found one group of people, captured them and sent them back to him.
Now that Yun Feng is completely out of the game, there is no need for the other group of people he sent to continue approaching him.
"Your Highness, someone has arrived from the capital." The general came to the outside of the tent to report.
Yue Mocheng suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
Yue Mocheng has always known that his father was not very talented and had no ability to govern the country, but fortunately, the blessings left by his ancestors were enough for him to sit firmly on the throne.
Since Yue Mocheng came of age, he has gradually begun to get involved in court affairs. Fortunately, his father trusts him very much, and there is no rift or conflict between them.
When everything was calm, everything was fine between them as father and son.
Ever since Yun Yi fled back to Yun Country and the war between the two countries broke out again, Yue Mocheng was most afraid that the situation would be a disagreement between father and son.
After all, he is just a prince, not a crown prince or a king.
-
Dayue took the initiative to seek peace and agreed to use the Shajiang River as the boundary. After that, Yun Kingdom no longer had to pay tribute to Dayue.
This was what Yun Yi brought up when he went to see Yue Mocheng that night, but no one else knew about it except the two of them.
Therefore, when the envoys from Dayue came to seek peace this time, Yun Yi asked the envoys to make further demands.
The demands did not come from the cession of land and cities, but were about the conditions for future exchanges between the two countries.
For example, taxes on trade and preferential policies for Yun merchants to do business in Dayue.
Yue Mocheng was unwilling to agree to let Yeyun Kingdom use Shajiang as the boundary, but the emperor was afraid and ordered him to ask for peace, so he had no choice but to agree.
But the conditions proposed by Yun Yi later surprised him a little. Looking at Yun Yi's current appearance, he really had no intention of fighting and only wanted to develop the economy.
"Your Highness, in addition to this, the Yun Kingdom envoy also pointed out that the Yun Kingdom's treasury is empty and there is no money to send the army back to the capital. They need Dayue to purchase Yun Kingdom's wind and fire bombs."
Purchase wind and fire bombs?
Isn’t that the weapon Yun Yi developed first?
Yun Yi actually agreed to let Dayue buy something with such incredible power?
Does this mean that Yun Yi has other more powerful weapons in his hands?
That's why I'm not afraid of them counterattacking with wind and fire bombs.
"what price?"
"The same price as purchasing from Qianfeng Country, three hundred gold per piece, with a minimum purchase of one hundred pieces."
This price is nothing to Dayue. If it is defeated by Yun Kingdom again, the loss will be more than this.
But Yue Mocheng felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart. Facing the game with Yun Yi, he had no idea how to win.
It was obvious that half a year ago, Yun Yi was still in the Dayue Palace, a hostage who was hungry and cold.
And now, Yun Yi is not only invincible on the battlefield, but also has won over Qianfeng Kingdom as an ally and created weapons that make Dayue powerless.
To be precise, this is no longer a game, it is Yun Yi's complete crushing of him.
Let's make peace.
It would be better to ask for peace so that so many soldiers without any fighting ability will not become cannon fodder.
As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. Perhaps one day, he can make a comeback.
Yun Yi was able to go from being an imprisoned hostage to the current position of crown prince in just half a year. He might also have a chance to fight back.
At least Yun Yi did not ask Dayue to pay tribute. In the past, the Yun Kingdom had to pay tribute to Dayue every year.
Dayue's current situation is much better than the former Yun Kingdom.
Yue Mocheng could only comfort himself in this way, and retreated to the north of Shajiang with the Dayue army in shame.
I watched helplessly as the Yun Kingdom military camp was stationed south of Shajiang River. The land that should have belonged to Dayue has now changed its name and belongs to someone else.
Yun Yi left a trusted general to lead the troops at the border, and then he returned to the capital.
The first thing Yun Yi did after returning to the capital was to inspect the construction of the artillery carriage.
The wind and fire bombs have been sold, so of course he has to prepare a backup plan.
The process of building the artillery cart was much faster than Yun Yi had imagined. It only needed slight improvements in the details before it could be sent to the border.
-
"Yun Yan died, but the Empress Dowager poured a bowl of poison into his mouth and tortured him for three days and three nights before he died."
Yun Ge pursed her lips and looked at Yun Yi with worry in her eyes.
She knew that it was Yun Yi who actually caused Yun Feng to fall into a coma, but looking at the Queen Mother's immense hatred, she was afraid that if she knew the truth, she would attack Yun Yi.
The old emperor has suppressed the Chen family over the years, but they still have a lot of power in the court.
Yun Yi's foundation is unstable now, and it will not be good for Yun Yi if the Chen family attacks at this time.
“The truth is always within reach.”
Yun Yi had a smile on his face. He was not worried at all that what Yun Ge said would happen.
After he successfully ascends the throne, there will be great scholars to debate for me.
In the evening, Yun Yi came to Fengyi Palace.
Compared to the last time he left, the queen was much more tired, and the old emperor was not in good condition either, becoming increasingly old and frail. It was obvious that he had not had a good time during this period.
"Father, I have returned triumphantly. Are you happy for me?"
Yun Yi was talking and laughing, but the old emperor's gaze towards him was still as sharp as a poisonous knife.
Yun Yi was not angry. He took the bowl of soup from the palace maid and fed him spoonful after spoonful: "Don't worry, father. I will find the best doctor to treat you."
