I’ll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law

The Emperor said, “Ye Luji is staring at our throne and they are dispatched right by the river. What countermeasures do you have?”

After the Emperor finished speaking, everyone could definitely hear a pin drop in the Wende Palace as no one spoke. However, all gazes were directed towards Prince An.

Someone came out and reported, “Your Majesty, for the present plan, it is important to ensure Your Majesty’s safety or we can move the capital. However, moving the capital cannot be achieved overnight. I am afraid that someone needs to stop Ye Luji and other soldiers by the river to buy time for Your Majesty and the Princes to evacuate.”

Another courtier frowned when he heard this and said, “Moving the capital will easily cause turmoil among the people. When the time comes, the enemy will advance and we’ll retreat, but there are still 100,000 soldiers in the capital. Ye Luji has a chance of crossing the river with 100,000 people, which is equal to the strength of our capital’s forces. If there is a reliable commander, we will be able to fight. Perhaps, there is no need to move the capital. “

The Emperor still had 100,000 imperial troops in his hand, but this was the Emperor’s last trump card and he dared not hand it over until it was his last resort. The Emperor sat high on the stage, so the courtiers below could not see his expression clearly. With a deep voice, he asked, “Dear friends, who is willing to lead troops to fight against Ye Luji and save millions of people in our capital from the battle of fire and water?”

The Emperor’s voice sounded and the whole room was silent. In the oppressive silence, Xie Xuanchen took a step forward and bowed indifferently, “This Prince, Xie Xuanchen, is willing to fight.”

Xie Xuanchen remembered that in the second year of the establishment, he was also in this very same hall, saying these exact words.

It’s just that Xie Yi was sitting on the top at that time and the courtiers were discussing a different matter, regarding a small court that lived in the south of the Yangtze River.

It turned out that so long had passed since then. The dynasty changed and the world was turned upside down in that period of time. It had been so long since he was ruined and fell from the peak.

He fell here, but he was getting up on this very spot again. Since he could fall from such a height, he was going to be able to climb up the same distance again as well.

All his fame was earned inch by inch through his hard work and that was it. Everything else was a cycle of repetition.

After Xie Xuanchen finished speaking, no one spoke, but everyone felt that they should be so relieved. It was true that they were afraid of Xie Xuanchen, but it was also because of his presence in the capital that the soldiers of the Northern Army stood by Lincheng, less than ten miles away from the capital. This allowed the court officials to stand here and argue whether or not to move the capital instead of being entirely helpless. The people outside the imperial city were also doing whatever they needed to do. Although they were nervous, they never panicked.

As long as the King of Qiyang was still there, the city walls of the Ye Dynasty were indestructible.

The Emperor heard the declaration from the Prince and he was not surprised. The whole court fell into silence, waiting for the Emperor to make up his mind. Xie Xuanchen’s comeback was expected and the only thing everyone was worried about was the Emperor’s secret yet public despicable thoughts.
