Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Isn’t the Crown Prince afraid of chilling the hearts of the ministers by doing this?”
The imperial concubine’s elder brother also looked at Sullo as if he was looking at trash.
Su Luo gave a fake smile, At a time like this, she still wanted to threaten him. She really didn’t know how to write the word ‘death’.
“What consequences? What chill?”
Why do 1 hear you saying that 1 should abdicate as the Crown Prince? Who do you think is suitable?”
When the ministers saw that Su Luo really couldn’t be helped up, they felt that Su Luo’s suggestion wasn’t impossible. Su Luffs face no longer had any intention of joking.
“The position of Crown Prince is too small. Why don’t I just give the throne to you? Is this the way to not regret it?
Humph!
You colluded with foreign thieves to usurp the throne, and you still have to serve them! ”
Sullo’s previous words had hit the nail on the head, but Sullo continued to say that they wanted to usurp the throne in front of all the civil and military officials. This was a huge crime.
Who dared to admit it?
No one dared to admit it in public, and they had to pretend to be so angry that their faces turned red.
“Take him away and throw him into the imperial prison to await his punishment. ”
The Empress and the Imperial Concubine wanted to say something, but they were already gagged and taken away.
How could this happen all of a sudden? They hadn’t even spoken yet.
Su Luo wouldn’t give them a chance to deny it. A few meaningful ones were all thrown into the imperial prison.
The other people in the imperial court who were restless saw that Sullo was actually acting out of character. He was no longer weak and could be bullied. Instead, he had become so ruthless. They all shrank into their turtle shells to wait and see.
As for the antidote for the Emperor and the other princes. Sullo naturally
didn’t have it. When MO Ruyue made those poisons, she didn’t make the antidote. As for whether they would die or live, it would depend on their own lives.
Of course, on the surface, Sullo still had to put on a show for the ministers. “All imperial physicians in the Imperial Academy of Medicine, listen up.”
The imperial physicians in the Imperial Academy of Medicine knelt down.” Please give your orders, Crown Prince!”
“This crown prince orders all of you to do your best and think of all ways to cure the emperor and his brothers.”
As for the Empress and the Imperial Consort, he did not say that it was up to them whether they wanted to be treated or not. He wished that they were dead.
His mother’s death back then was also related to those two.
He felt that he could add some itching powder or something so that they could enjoy the rest of their lives.
All the ministers saw Su Luffs thunderous methods. Some of them proposed to let Su Luo take charge of the northern country. He was the crown prince to begin with. If the emperor was not good, they would even support him to take over.
In the hearts of many ministers, they had already positioned Sullo as the new emperor of the Northland.
When the Empress and Imperial Concubine learned of this, they were extremely furious in the heavenly prison. They even directly cursed, revealing the fact that Su Luo was inhuman and had no children.
Sullo didn’t panic at all. Since they wanted to die so badly, he would directly sentence them to death for offending their superiors!
Su Luo didn’t deal with them as soon as she returned. She kept them alive to warn the others. He would take it slow. If anyone refused to accept him, there was no need for them to stay in the Northland.
However, what happened in the north still made the other three countries, other than Xi Liang, see some clues and were ready to make a move.
Sullo gathered the ministers to discuss who would lead the troops to resist the foreign enemies.
None of the ministers were silent. No one wanted to give up their families to go to war, and it was the kind that would definitely kill them.
However, these people had never put him, the Crown Prince, in their eyes. They had been used to it for more than twenty years and felt that he was just a paper tiger. They pretended not to hear this life-and-death situation.
Su Luo didn’t expect them to volunteer at all. Just as she was about to call out names, someone suddenly stood up.
“I’m willing to go!
Su Luo took a look. He remembered that this Lord Yan was the son of his uncle’s student.
With Lord Yan leading the way, three more people stepped forward. They were all old friends of his maternal grandfather’s family.
Su Luo still felt comforted. This meant that he was not alone.
He nodded. As long as these people were sincere, he would put them in an important position.
“South, East, and Central. Lord Yan, take 30,000 men to reinforce the Southern Pass.
East Pass and Central Pass are…
He looked at the turtles that were hiding and chose the two that he was most unwilling to go to.
Before the two ministers could think of a way to object, they heard Su Luo say,”The country is in danger. Those who disobey will be killed!”
The two ministers trembled. Even if they didn’t want to, they could only bite the bullet and go.
However, Sullo wouldn’t believe such a person. He had pointed them out to intimidate them. Among the soldiers he had brought with him, he had selected three who were more capable of blocking things and went to the border to support them as deputy generals.
At the same time, he sent a letter to Xi Liang, asking for reinforcements.
He had already discussed this with Ji Hong before he returned to the Northern Kingdom. If they asked for help, he would definitely send troops to help.
The other three kingdoms were still on their own and had no plans to form an alliance. They only had a common goal, but they were still suspicious of each other. They did not expect the two kingdoms of the northwest to have formed an alliance, so they did not dare to advance too rashly. However, the Northern Kingdom and the Xi Liang Kingdom did not intend to let go of a good opportunity to beat up the other three kingdoms.
The other party had already come to their door. Moreover, there would be a second time, or countless times. This time, they would not be afraid of them. Would they leave them to go back and recuperate before they came back?
Therefore, before the three empires could find an alliance, the two empires in the northwest launched a surprise attack, catching them off guard and forcing them to retreat. In the end, they had to cede territory and pay reparations.
Of course, Sullo generously gave more than half of the land to Xi Liang.
Without Xi Liangs help, his Northern Kingdom would have ceased to exist under the attack of the three countries. He was still clear about which was more important.
Ji Hong saw that he had only helped the Northland a little and had already
received such a huge benefit. He decided to have a closer relationship with the Northland in the future. He wished that the other three countries would attack the Northland again so that he could obtain more benefits.
However, the Three Kingdoms weren’t stupid. After being beaten up once, they had already ceded their territory and paid compensation. Would they be stupid enough to charge forward again? It was simply impossible.
The Eastern, Southern, and Central Three Kingdoms had also discovered the reason why Xi Liang would help the Northern Kingdom. Now that the three Kingdoms were at a disadvantage, they were really afraid that the two Kingdoms would work together to destroy them one by one.
By the time the three kingdoms thought about forming an alliance with the other two kingdoms, it was already too late.
The Northern Kingdom and Xi Liang also rushed to send secret envoys to the three countries before the three countries formed an alliance to form an alliance with them one by one.
The Northern Kingdom and the Xi Liang Kingdom were the two largest countries among the five countries. Now that these two countries had formed an alliance and came to rope them in, how could they be unwilling? They did not dare to be unwilling.
When the turmoil between the five countries stopped, it was the turmoil within their own countries. Sullo had used a month to take full control of the imperial power of the Northern Kingdom and had already ascended the throne. There was no other reason than that the old Emperor of the Northern Kingdom had been poisoned and did not have much time left. Even if the other princes did not die, they would not be as legitimate as Sullo as the Crown Prince.
As for the fact that Sullo couldn’t be humane, it was self-evident because on the first day of Sullo’s ascension to the throne, he had already doted on the newly presented beauty.
It was also because the heavens were helping Sullo. After returning to the Northland, he still insisted on taking two medicinal baths a day. After 20 days, he could already regain his glory.
As for whether he could make his concubine pregnant, that was up for discussion.
Even if he couldn’t, the ministers couldn’t do anything to him. The current Sullo was a tyrant in their eyes.
However, to truly define him as a tyrant was somewhat unjustified. Ever since Sullo ascended the throne, he had immediately rectified the food and clothing problems of the people in the Northland, and it had been very effective.
In the eyes of the people, Sullo was simply the Holy Lord!
