Chapter 226: Process of Taking Over Yuan Kingdom
226 Process of Taking Over Yuan Kingdom
Meeting the emperor, Jun Hua realized that Prince Tang Xuan was correct. The emperor would gladly give the throne for those who wished to unify the five big kingdoms. Jun Hua didn\'t have any wish for unification, but she will indeed fight with them all. Making them enemy was already a certain thing.
"I\'m not sure about unification," Jun Hua said slowly. "If talking about the dream to unify all the kingdoms under one banner, that should be Nanglong Soujin and friends."
"They are your friends. Why don\'t you talk with them?" Tang Xuan asked. He had explained to Jun Hua that he was not a prince; rather he was only a noble from the kingdom beyond the river. He came as the representative of their side.
"Jun Min is death, not even they know about it," Jun Hua answered. The fact that she was Jun Min was something that she wanted to bury in the past. She no longer had any intention to become a man again, but since she was dressed as a man today, this man recognized her.
Tang Xuan considered for a moment. "I\'m sure the Nanglong family will come here too. Once, the emperor offered the throne to one of the Nanglong family members."
"Nanglong Souka?"
Jun Hua still remembered the fight few months ago. At that time, she was a general and fight from the frontline. She heard the news about Nanglong Souka negotiating with the emperor of Yuan Kingdom. It seemed, the content of the discussion was not like what the news said.
If Nanglong family member came here, would it mean Soujin will come here? Somehow, Jun Hua already started to anticipate the coming of Nanglong family to Yuan Kingdom. She wanted to meet with the other party badly.
"Yes, he is the prime minister of Ming Kingdom. The emperor tells me that the Ming Kingdom is on the rise, but from what I can see it is two family on the rise, Nanglong family and Jun family. Unexpectedly, the two of you separated from Ming Kingdom."
Two of us separated? Jun Hua hasn\'t heard about the Nanglong family separating themselves, but she knew that for this war, they ask for freedom. Is it the one Tang Xuan meant?
"I don\'t recall the Nanglong Family separated themselves."
"Not really separation, but they have quite a lot of freedom right now, which I guess might end up with them separating themselves."
Jun Hua was not sure about that. "I don\'t know their plan, but there is indeed a dark history of us in Ming Kingdom."
What happened years ago was not really clear for Jun Hua since she hadn\'t born yet. At that time, the Jun family tried to fight against the emperor only to be schemed back and destroyed by him. By the time she could meet them, there were only a few people left, including her.
The once prosperous family declined.
As for Nanglong family, they too had lost a lot of their member. Jun Hua didn\'t know the details too, but it should have happened when she was still a toddler. They could get off from the wrath of the emperor easier, but she didn\'t know how they did that since the Nanglong family kept the secret hidden.
Still, the secret of the four big families existed which made them became threats towards the emperor. Yet, the emperor hadn\'t realized it until it was too late. The movement from Lan Gao Ya, followed by Jun Min, and then there was Nanglong Soujin. There was still Lin Hong, but Jun Hua didn\'t know whether he will keep his word or not.
With all of them going against one person, she truly wanted to know how the emperor fared in the fight. Previously, he still has the support of a lot of people, and each of them fought on their own. The difference in timing made them defeated. Now that the three of them started their move around the same time, how will the end be?
Tang Xuan nodded. "I won\'t ask you what had happened. What I want to know, what is your plan towards Yuan Kingdom?"
Jun Hua thought for a moment. "I will let the emperor sit on his throne for now. Getting our hand on Yuan Kingdom may cause the other kingdoms to turn hostile towards us. For now, let the Ming Kingdom fight first."
If the news of them joining hands got out, the next target in this big war will be the two of them. Jun Hua obviously didn\'t want to get involved in the fight yet. The preparation was not completed yet. At least, no one dared to come near the Mountain Kingdom for now because of the tragedy that happened to the Kai Kingdom.
That act of obliterating the enemy without any force has made them even more careful towards Mountain Kingdom. The terrain of Mountain Kingdom was different, and it made them wary to get inside Mountain Kingdom territory. If the kingdom attacked them, they might have advantages, but since Mountain Kingdom stayed quiet, the other kingdoms also ignored them.
"I see, I will be waiting for your cooperation once I return here."
"You\'re going back?"
Tang Xuan nodded. "I have delayed my time to go for some time now. It is better I go back before I\'m trapped here for a year."
"I wish you safe journey."
"Thank you."
After talking for a bit, Jun Hua searched for her grandfather who was still in the hall with the emperor, talking about the affair. After Jun Hua had told them the agreement she had with Tang Xuan, the emperor looked more relaxed.
"I will place the Yuan Kingdom in your hand. If you want to make this kingdom part of yours, I won\'t have any objection."
"The officials here shouldn\'t be that bad, aren\'t they?"
"They are some of them who are quite good. But, neither of them has enough standing to rule over the other officials. However, Jun family is different."
Jun Hua knew that. With the military power of Jun family, how can they dare to raise their hand towards them? After all, the soldiers stationed at the border were not for decoration.
"Your Majesty, there is a war report."
A messenger came in with trembled feet. With the emperor was someone who was known to be cold and ruthless, their people were afraid of them. Nevertheless, he was also someone very powerful and influential, so no one dared to go against this emperor.
"Did something happen somewhere?"
"On the West of Ming Kingdom, the Ming Kingdom loses miserably, and Lan Pan is reported to come towards Yuan Kingdom."
The emperor face turned cold. Jun Hua and Jun Zhenxian also stood up. They needed to stop the advance of Lan Pan. Should he really come to this kingdom, they would be faced with a massacre.
"General Jun Zhenxian, may I ask for your assistance?"
"Yes, you can," Jun Zhenxian nodded. By the side, Jun Hua calmed herself down. The time for another meeting has come. But she truly wanted to know what happened in the border that made Lan family lost?
