“What? Ishbara Khagan is withdrawing his soldiers?”
Deep within the Imperial Palace, First Prince Li Ying was dumbfounded by the news from the steppe and could barely speak for quite some time. Ishbara Khagan’s letter had stirred up a tempest in the court and had left Li Ying greatly vexed. With the dissolution of the prefectural armies, the Great Tang did not have the strength of the past. A sudden border conflict with the Western Turks at this time would have unpredictable consequences.
As the regent, the First Prince did not wish for such a mishap, but now, this border incident had vanished without a trace, the crisis dispelled. All levels of the Great Tang could breathe a sigh of relief.
But for some reason, upon receiving the news, the First Prince felt only immense discomfort and bitterness rather than joy.
“Damn it! Wang Chong, Wang Chong! It’s Wang Chong again!”
The First Prince gnashed his teeth in anger. It would have been one thing if this brat had adapted to the circumstances, but he insisted on supporting Li Heng. The stronger and more outstanding he was, the less the First Prince was able to tolerate him.
“Your Highness, there’s a letter from the western border signed by more than one hundred soldiers of all ranks requesting for Your Highness to heavily reward the King of Foreign Lands. This is the twenty-seventh such petition!” an elderly voice rang out, and Eunuch Yin used a withered hand to lightly place the letter in front of the First Prince.
By now, the border incident and Wang Chong’s short letter that had made Ishbara Khagan retreat had triggered immense shock and clamor from all the generals of the Great Tang. In the militarist-Confucian conflict, the militarists had been in a complete rout, with even Wang Chong’s post as Advisor-in-Waiting having been removed.
The military had immediately seized this rare opportunity.
The Imperial Court was now the domain of the First Prince and the Confucian Sect, but the numerous letters from the generals stationed elsewhere were coming in like a snowstorm. Not even the First Prince and the Confucian Sect could continue to ignore them.
“Bastard things—what are they trying to do? In the Great Tang, is it me who is greater or the King of Foreign Lands? Are they plotting rebellion?”
As anger flowed through the First Prince, his face twisted.
He knew the intention of these officers. Wang Chong had been stripped of his political authority and his post as Advisor-in-Waiting, and what these people clearly wanted was for Wang Chong to be let back into the court to represent the militarists against the Confucian Sect and the First Prince.
The First Prince could not permit this!
In the Eastern Palace, the First Prince continued to fume, and not even Eunuch Yin dared to speak. As time went on in this fashion…
“Reporting!”
A resounding voice broke the silence, and then one of the First Prince’s guards came in and got down on one knee.
“The Lord Prime Minister seeks an audience!”
A few moments later, a figure hastily rushed in.
“Your Highness!”
