Ye Chen nodded after hearing this.
He thought for a moment and asked again, “What does General Zhang Mo think of the First Prince, Ji Xuan? His ability is certainly not bad. General, do you support me or him?”
As soon as he said this.
Zhang Mo immediately knelt in front of Ye Chen.
“Your Highness is His Majesty’s decision. I believe in His Majesty, so I support Your Highness!”
Seeing Zhang Mo’s sincerity, Ye Chen continued, “General, there’s no need to panic. I’m not blaming the general. General, can you tell me about this Ji Xuan? If I want to compete with him, I need to understand him.”
Zhang Mo nodded, then looked at Ye Chen and said, “Compared to His Highness the First Prince, I want to support His Highness more.
“Although I don’t understand His Highness, I don’t like His Highness the First Prince.”
“Oh, why?” Ye Chen asked calmly.
“He is a ruthless person! He is like a poisonous snake, incomparably vicious. Moreover, in his heart, he has never shown the slightest bit of benevolence. Such a person will definitely be a tyrant when he inherits the throne in the future.”
Presumably, His Highness had also heard some things about the First Prince.
In the Imperial Palace, there were a total of five princes. However, each and every one of the princes died mysteriously. Everyone knew that it was the First Prince who had done it. However, their deaths were extremely bizarre, almost all of them seemed to have committed suicide. Even His Majesty was unable to do anything to the First Prince.
This showed that the First Prince was an extremely intelligent person. His ability was sufficient for him to take up the throne.
“However, he was able to kill his brothers. Such a person doesn’t have the slightest bit of benevolence. If he becomes the emperor, he will definitely become a tyrant.”
Ye Chen nodded.
He was also a little surprised.
In such a large Imperial Palace, not everyone was useless.
However, Ji Xuan was able to kill so many people in the Imperial Palace without any evidence. This was enough to prove that Ji Xuan was extremely shrewd.
Moreover, he even wanted to kill his brothers. This was enough to prove that he was ruthless enough.
Ye Chen knew that such a person was the most difficult to deal with.
“Your Highness, do you know why His Majesty summoned you back instead of giving the throne to the First Prince?” Zhang Mo asked.
Ye Chen shook his head.
Zhang Mo continued, “Because His Majesty is a wise monarch and also a benevolent monarch!
“Otherwise, he would not have personally led the expedition back then and left behind this body of injuries.”
Ye Chen nodded. It seemed that his father was quite high in the evaluation of these generals.
“Therefore, Your Highness, please arrive safely at the Imperial City and inherit the throne!” Zhang Mo said.
Ye Chen nodded.
At this moment…Zhang Mo continued, “Your Highness, I heard that General Yang Xuan of the Imperial City has already led an army to welcome Your Highness. Therefore, Your Highness, please stay in my Fragrant Ink City for a few days. When General Yang Xuan arrives, protect Your Highness and return to the Imperial Palace.”
Ye Chen heard Zhang Mo’s thoughts and lightly asked, “Oh, there are people from the Imperial Palace?”
“Yes, the one in front is Heavenly South City. Heavenly South City is Prince Ji Xuan’s backer’s family. They will definitely set up an inescapable net and wait for Your Highness to walk into it. Therefore, Your Highness must not act on your own accord,” Zhang Mo continued.
Ye Chen smiled and said, “You said that General Yang Xuan is coming to fetch me. Then, will he be able to come to Heavenly South City?”
Zhang Mo was shocked when he heard this.
“As far as I know, the forces of the Heavenly South City are already very powerful. Even if all the troops in the Imperial Palace are only barely able to contend with the Heavenly South City, how will General Yang Xuan come over?”
Zhang Mo hurriedly said, “At that time, even if General Yang Xuan goes all out, he will still come over.
“Because His Highness is our Eastern Imperial Kingdom’s only hope!”
Ye Chen smiled and said, “Going all out, is that to send the soldiers of the Eastern Imperial Kingdom to their deaths?”
At this moment, Zhang Mo looked at Ye Chen in astonishment.
After hearing Ye Chen’s words.
He understood in his heart.
Prince Ye Chen was not like what the rumors said, he was not a useless prince.
In addition, he was an extremely intelligent prince.
If such a prince still had such a benevolent and righteous heart, it would definitely be a blessing for the Eastern Imperial Kingdom.
“Even if Yang Xuan goes all out to come to the Heavenly South City, how will we be able to cross the Heavenly South City when we run out of ammunition and rations?” Ye Chen continued to ask.
At this moment, Zhang Mo immediately replied, “Even if Zhang Mo dies, he will definitely escort the prince to the Heavenly South City.”
Ye Chen looked at Zhang Mo and said, “General Zhang Mo, I understand your loyalty. However, because of sending me off, you have to lose two generals and so many soldiers. Then, is it not worth it?”
“Could it be that the prince already has a countermeasure?” Zhang Mo asked in extreme shock.
Ye Chen said indifferently, “Don’t worry. If I can’t even cross the Heavenly South City, I’m not worthy of being called your future Emperor.”
After Ye Chen finished speaking, a confident smile appeared on his face.
Looking at Ye Chen’s smile, Zhang Mo was extremely shocked in his heart.
It seemed that this Prince Ye Chen was definitely not a simple person.
“So, everything will go on as usual.. We’ll rest for a night before leaving Fragrant Ink City and heading to Heavenly South City.”
