Chapter 1135 The deposed prince
At this time, Marshal Yuan, seeing his men bringing back so much food, patted his military advisor on the shoulder, laughed triumphantly, and said...
“Ahahahaha…, Military Advisor, you are so capable that you can imitate the Crown Prince’s handwriting. Otherwise, hundreds of thousands of our troops would have starved to death.”
The military advisor laughed and said, "Marshal, you are so happy with just a little bit of food. If I tell you that there is still a lot of food, wouldn't you be so happy that you will die?"
"Is this true? Are there any food left?" Marshal Yuan stretched his neck to look behind him, and found that there was no team with any food. He thought the military advisor was teasing him.
Unexpectedly, the military advisor told him that it was true, because considering that the army had lost contact with the capital, in order to prevent similar food shortages from happening again, this time, he prepared enough food for the army for half a year.
In this way, even if the emperor of Dayao Kingdom learned the truth and refused to sell grain to them, they would have no worries.
After hearing this, Marshal Yuan was naturally overjoyed and asked quickly...
"Military Advisor, when will the rest of the food arrive?"
The military advisor replied: "Tomorrow at the latest."
Considering that this time they were impersonating the Crown Prince's oral instructions, his confidants were willing to help them buy food.
So, they might as well go all out and stockpile large amounts of food at one time.
In this way, within half a year, the army of Moli Kingdom will no longer have to worry about food and can concentrate on fighting.
"Good, good, good, that's great." Marshal Yuan was so happy that he said several good words.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rushed in aggressively and roared at him angrily...
"Mr. Yuan, did you buy these grains from the Great Yao Kingdom in my name?"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly rushed in, and Marshal Yuan and the military advisor were shocked. However, they quickly calmed down because the food was already in hand, and they were not worried about falling out with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
So, Marshal Yuan nodded with a smile and said...
"Your Highness, you guessed right. It is thanks to you that we were able to buy so much food this time. You are a great contributor to our Moli Kingdom. I will definitely reward you well tonight. Well, let me think about what I should reward you with."
The military advisor deliberately said, "Marshal, you can't reward us with wine this time. If something happens to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again, we can't bear the consequences."
"In my opinion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes beauties, so let's give him one. Aren't there many prostitutes in our army? We can select a few of the best beauties and give them to him."
"Marshal, what do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Marshal Yuan couldn't help but burst into laughter, saying, "Ahahaha... I think it's a good idea, let's do it this way."
Finally, he turned around and shouted to the soldier next to him...
"Come on, select a few beauties from the army and send them to the Crown Prince's tent. Let them serve the Crown Prince well."
The soldier stepped out, nodded, and answered loudly...
"Yes, I will go right away."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
These words made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince very angry.
"Marshal Yuan, I'm asking you about the grain. Don't try to change the subject. Tell me, what did you do? Why can you buy so much grain in my name?"
Marshal Yuan took out a jade pendant from his bosom and said with a smirk…
"Speaking of this, I have to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for sending me a token. It was with this token and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's handwritten letter that I was able to buy so much food."
When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heard this, he was so angry that his whole body trembled.
Damn it, Marshal Yuan was so insidious and vicious that he secretly took his token to buy food from the Great Yao Kingdom. If the emperor knew about this, wouldn't he be charged with treason? Then he would never be able to return to the Great Yao Kingdom.
Wait, what did Marshal Yuan say?
Handwritten letter?
When did he write a personal letter?
"Marshal Yuan, what did you say? What handwritten letter?"
Faced with the Crown Prince's puzzled look, Marshal Yuan and the military advisor could not help but laugh.
The military advisor laughed and said, "Ahahaha..., Your Highness, are you confused after sleeping? It was clearly you who wrote the letter yourself, asking your confidant to buy food for us. Did you forget it?"
Marshal Yuan nodded and agreed...
"Yes, if there was only a token but no handwritten letter from you, this matter would not have been resolved so quickly."
"Your Highness, thank you so much this time."
After Marshal Yuan finished speaking, he stepped forward, touched the Crown Prince's hand, and shook it excitedly.
The Crown Prince was furious, pushed him away, and roared angrily...
"Bullshit, I have never written any personal letters. You are slandering me. It is complete slander."
Marshal Yuan put away his smile and said seriously: "Your Highness, whether this is a slander or a handwritten letter from you, this matter was resolved because of you. You are the benefactor of our Moliguo army. This is an undeniable fact. We are still very grateful to you."
"As for the miracle doctor, we are still looking for him. However, if you can't find him, you can't blame us. After all, we have tried our best."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was shaking with anger as he looked at the mountain of grain in front of him. He knew that after this incident, he would never be able to return to Dayao Kingdom.
"You despicable people are deliberately framing me. I never wrote a personal letter, let alone asked anyone to buy food for you. This is slander, complete slander."
The military advisor looked up at the Crown Prince and said seriously, "Your Highness, have you forgotten? Now you and we are on the same boat. If we run out of food, you will die. Isn't it good now? We have food, and you can survive."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and he said tremblingly...
"Bullshit! If you do this, you will cut off my retreat. I will never be able to return to Dayao Country again. My father will definitely not let me go."
Military Advisor: "Your Highness, what are you talking about? You are the crown prince of the Great Yao Kingdom, and you are related to the emperor by blood. How could he abandon you?"
Marshal Yuan nodded and said...
"Yes, how could the emperor of Dayao Kingdom abandon his own son just because of a word from the King of Youzhou? If this gets out, wouldn't the whole world laugh at him?"
"Your Highness, don't think too much. Even if the emperor is angry, he will only be angry for a while, and he will be fine after a while. After all, you are father and son connected by blood, and he will not abandon you."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at the military advisor, then at Marshal Yuan, his mind was groggy and confused, and he couldn't help but ask, "Is that really the case? Is Father really not angry with me?"
In order to prevent His Royal Highness from causing trouble, Marshal Yuan nodded sincerely and said seriously, "Of course it's true. There is no such thing as an overnight grudge between father and son."
Military Advisor: "That's right, Your Highness, you can rest assured. After a while, when the emperor's anger has subsided, you can return to Dayao Kingdom to be your crown prince."
Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince breathed a sigh of relief and murmured to himself, "I hope so. I hope that after a while, Father will stop being angry with me."
Upon seeing this, Marshal Yuan and the military advisor looked at each other tacitly.
The military advisor stepped forward with a smile on his face, took the Crown Prince's arm and said...
"Don't worry, Your Highness. You are the crown prince of Dayao Country. The emperor will never abandon you. Just put your mind at ease and enjoy the gentleness of the beauties here."
After saying this, he ordered the soldiers to send His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to the tent.
As soon as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returned to the tent, several beauties came up to him, hugged and kissed him. He was instantly immersed in the gentleness of the moment, forgetting that the military advisor had imitated his handwritten letter to buy food from the Dayao Kingdom.
A quarter of an hour later.
There were bursts of laughter and chatter from men and women in the tent. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was having a great time.
The soldiers guarding the door looked at each other and then smiled knowingly.
Because of the food the army received.
Soon, the military camp was filled with the aroma of food.
The soldiers hadn't eaten for a day and were starving. They ate voraciously. After their hearty meal, they burped and returned to their posts contentedly.
Back on the side of Dayao Kingdom, the emperor heard news from his ministers early in the morning that there were unusual movements among the Crown Prince's followers, and that they had purchased a large amount of food and sent it to the army of Moli Kingdom.
The Minister of Revenue, Lord Li, came out and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, if the Crown Prince continues to do this, he will surely anger the King of Youzhou. Once he gets angry, he will destroy our country in a matter of minutes. The Crown Prince will then become a sinner for all eternity. In order to prevent millions of ordinary people from being displaced and caught up in the flames of war, I second the motion to immediately dismiss the Crown Prince."
When the ministers heard this, they came out one after another, bent over, and shouted loudly...
"I second the motion to immediately dismiss His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"This..." The emperor sat on the dragon throne, his face turned from gray to white, and then from white to black. He was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and he said tremblingly...
"Accurate."
On the same day, the emperor sent people to post notices across the country to let the world know that he had deposed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This was also a hint to King Youzhou that what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had done had nothing to do with him.
When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's followers realized something was wrong, they immediately wrote a letter and sent their trusted aides to deliver it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was in the Moli Kingdom's army.
After reading the letter, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince became extremely anxious. If he lost his status as the Crown Prince, he would never have a chance to become the Emperor of Dayao.
He gritted his teeth and said, "How could Father do this? He is so cruel."
After saying that, he crumpled up the letter and threw it on the ground, cursing...
"In the end, this matter is all the fault of that old bastard, Marshal Yuan. If he and the military advisor hadn't framed me and imitated my handwriting, I wouldn't have been deposed as the crown prince by my father."
He had gone through untold hardships to obtain the position of crown prince, and now it was gone just like that. Of course he would be very sad.
