"Urgent report! A severe locust plague has struck Beihuan, and they have gathered twenty thousand iron cavalry at the border. The Grand Tutor of Beihuan has personally led an envoy to our capital to request food supplies, and they will arrive soon!"
"Requesting food with twenty thousand cavalry? That damned Beihuan is clearly threatening me!"
"Sire, our empire just went through the Crown Prince's rebellion; we are extremely unstable internally. We cannot afford another war with Beihuan now!"
"Summon all the high ministers to the palace immediately for discussion. Anyone who dares to neglect this order shall be executed!"
...
In the Daqian Dynasty, at the Bi Bo Residence, where the Sixth Prince resided.
Yun Zheng sat alone in a pavilion within the courtyard.
Although he had accepted the reality of his transmigration, he still felt somewhat depressed.
Why did I end up in this useless prince's body?
Worse still, this prince somehow obtained a letter from the deceased Crown Prince that exposed the Third Prince's false accusations, making him a target of the ambitious Third Prince!
The Third Prince, eager to obtain the letter, had been causing trouble for him every day, always looking for an opportunity to get rid of him!
While Yun Zheng was feeling frustrated, several maidservants in his courtyard were whispering among themselves.
"This good-for-nothing, yesterday he was slapped by the Third Prince and is still scared out of his wits."
"At twenty-one years old, he doesn't even have his own mansion. He's unique among the princes of our dynasty."
"The Third Prince claims he's part of the Crown Prince's faction. I reckon he won't last much longer!"
"The sooner he dies, the better. Then we can be transferred elsewhere..."
Though they were mere maidservants, they held Yun Zheng in utter contempt.
The Sixth Prince Yun Zheng was born to a concubine when Emperor Wen was drunk.
His mother never received a title while alive; she was only posthumously honored after her death.
Not only did Yun Zheng lack any support, but he was also a coward, never fighting back or even defending himself when insulted.
He deserved to be bullied!
Just as they were whispering, Yun Zheng suddenly stood up.
If there's no foundation in court, then don't mix in court affairs!
Let's go to the border and gain military power!
After all, I was a talented student in military strategy. Fighting is something I excel at!
With military power in hand, whoever becomes emperor will have to respect me!
I'll beat anyone I dislike!
Yes, that's it!
Having made up his mind, Yun Zheng got up to seek out his father.
As he was about to leave, the Third Prince Yun Li entered.
"Greetings, Third Highness!"
Upon seeing Yun Li, the maidservants quickly knelt to pay their respects.
Unlike Yun Zheng, Yun Li had deep roots in the court.
His mother, Consort Shu, was the most favored, and her family was prestigious, with many influential members in the government.
