Chapter 1097: Chapter 75: The Grand Assembly! Shouzhe, You’re Out of Your Mind
Emperor Longchang took the memorial and glanced at it. It was titled [Plan to Eradicate the Southern Border Barbarian Gu Race and Develop the Southern Border]. His expression paused slightly, and after a quick scan, he was a bit excited, saying: "Son, if your plan is really implemented, it is indeed very promising."
The Southern Border Barbarian Gu Race has always been a thorn in Emperor Longchang’s side.
The land there is fertile and rich in resources, yet the Southern Border Barbarian Gu Race has lived there since ancient times. Shortly after Emperor Longchang ascended the throne, he coveted the vast lands in the southeastern direction of Celestial County.
Unfortunately, several military campaigns resulted in the death of many Barbarian Gu Clan members and their experts, and they briefly occupied the Southern Border.
However, because the Barbarian Gu Race is skilled in using Gu and poison, and relied on the complex geographic environment to cause great casualties to the Daqian Army through guerrilla tactics several times.
They were forced to withdraw troops, and the successive failures became a thorn in Emperor Longchang’s heart.
But in Prince Kang’s plan, there was a strategy developed jointly by the Saint Land and the military that targeted the Gu and poison of the Southern Border, which sounded highly feasible.
Emperor Longchang, having fought battles all his life and being a military talent, understood the advantages of Prince Kang’s plan at a glance.
Prince Kang saluted again and said: "Your Majesty, the Southern Border is vast; only by completely eradicating the Barbarian Gu Race can our Daqian acquire at least one county of land. Moreover, it is rich in resources and extremely suitable for cultivation. I am confident that within fifty years, I can initially develop the Southern Border and strengthen our Daqian’s national power."
"Under Your Majesty’s wise leadership, I will surely develop the Southern Border."
"Good, good, good." Emperor Longchang was somewhat flushed with joy from this unexpected pleasure, "My son understands my intentions fully and it can be said to fulfill a major wish of mine before I die."
Although the plan was proposed by Prince Kang and he was in charge of implementing it, ultimately the achievements were accomplished during Longchang’s reign. The historical records will definitely lay this major contribution at the feet of Emperor Longchang.
The members of Prince Dexin’s faction immediately congratulated the Emperor, and compliments echoed continuously.
Many neutral courtiers secretly calculated the situation, which seemed unfavorable to Prince Anjun. Prince Kang’s Southern Border development plan clearly targeted Prince Anjun’s Dara Desert development plan.
Not only is it effective very quickly, but it also fulfills the Emperor’s wish.
Once Prince Kang succeeds, then Prince Anjun may have no role to play.
"Son, I entrust this matter to you fully, provide a more detailed battle plan within three months." Emperor Longchang’s eyes sparkled, "At that time, I will definitely support your military operation and development plan wholeheartedly."
"Yes, Ancestor." Prince Kang replied stably, "I will absolutely not disappoint your expectations."
His eyes were also filled with confidence, not only confidence in winning this battle but also confidence in crushing Prince Anjun.
Thus, naturally, the members of Prince Kang’s faction were pleased, while supporters of Prince Anjun’s faction were worried, how could they resist such overwhelming trend?
Once Prince Kang succeeds, even if Prince Hao returns alive, it will be difficult to match him.
In his full happiness, Emperor Longchang remembered another honoree, Wang Shouzhe, and immediately waved to Old Yao, saying with a smile: "Summon Wang Shouzhe for an audience."
The excitement of seeing Wang Shouzhe was largely dampened by the Southern Border military plan, as the latter had been a thorn in his side for years.
"Summon Wang Shouzhe for an audience." Old Yao shouted, his voice echoed far into the side hall.
After a while.
Wang Shouzhe did not appear, but the summon bearer "Little Ziangzi" ran in with a pale face: "Report to Your Majesty. Wang Shouzhe defied the order!"
"What?"
Emperor Longchang’s smiling face froze and gradually turned cold, "What did you say!?"
"Your Majesty, Wang Shouzhe defied the order and rejected Your Majesty’s summons." Little Ziangzi repeated.
Instantly, Emperor Longchang’s expression became gloomy, a surge of imperial anger arose. Wang Shouzhe, who do you think you are?
Usually, you ignore subtle hints, that’s fine.
But you dare to defy an imperial summons?
At his words, Prince Dexin’s faction immediately felt a pleasant surprise descending. They initially thought that at such a critical moment, the sly and cunning Wang Shouzhe would carry out an irritating move.
Yet they did not expect that Wang Shouzhe would be so foolish and self-destructive, even defying an imperial summons?
Well, well, well, this is arrogance breeding complacency, self-destruction. One of the things Your Majesty hates most in this lifetime is arrogance breeding complacency.
And supporters of Prince Deshun’s faction were also shocked. Is Wang Shouzhe crazy? If he’s crazy, so be it, but isn’t this implicating Prince Anjun?
Wang Shouzhe, oh Wang Shouzhe, you are foolish.
