The emperor's face changed.

As soon as the eunuch came in, he knelt down with a plop, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is bad! The Tatars have captured Shuncheng and taken all the people in the city captive. The Tatars have spread the word that the Northern Ming should send a general to fight. If no one goes, they will kill thousands or tens of thousands of people a day until Shuncheng is completely slaughtered. Then they will attack another city and massacre again until they enter Beijing!"

The eunuch spoke in a shrill voice, sweat breaking out on his face, as if he was frightened out of his wits.

Xiao Yunci seemed to sense something, slowly raised his eyes and asked, "What else?"

The eunuch swallowed hard, "Still, still... that general, must be... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally in command. The Crown Prince robbed... robbed Prince Bigler's wife, and they must avenge him. If it's not the Crown Prince, they will just slaughter them and march straight to the capital."

When the young eunuch said this, even the emperor's expression changed instantly.

"What do you mean!" The emperor stood up suddenly, his dragon robe fluttering in disarray, accompanied by the sound of chaotic footsteps. The eunuch was so frightened that he trembled and was grabbed by the emperor by the collar. "Who should go?"

"The news came from the Ministry of War. I, your servant, am just a messenger. It said that the Tatars asked... asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..." The eunuch was so frightened that he could hardly speak, his face full of panic.

Xiao Yunci frowned slightly.

He looked much calmer than the other two, his eyes were deep as if he was thinking about something, which was in sharp contrast to the situation around him.

"Let the prince lead the troops!" The emperor gasped, and finally threw the little eunuch in his hand to the ground like a rag. The little eunuch rolled and crawled to his knees again, tears streaming down his face, and was too scared to move.

"How can the prince lead the troops? There are no swords and spears on the battlefield, and if anything happens to the prince, it will be bad!"

"The Tatars are coming for the royal family, for you, my son!" The emperor turned his gaze to Xiao Yunci. At that moment, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but his face was still full of anger. He said, "If it weren't for the destiny, if you hadn't married Wen Ning...this kind of thing wouldn't have happened now. In the final analysis..."

A hint of cold darkness flashed across Xiao Yunci's eyes.

"In the final analysis, it's all because of the Northern Ming's lack of combat power, soldiers, manpower, weapons, and food. The people have difficulty making a living, the court is unable to make ends meet, and is unable to directly confront the Tatars." Xiao Yunci spoke coldly, interrupting the emperor's subsequent words.

The solution the emperor originally had in mind was very simple. Since the other party mentioned the matter of taking his wife away, then he could just send Wen Ning there. If he could settle the matter peacefully, that would be the best.

But Xiao Yunci obviously noticed his thoughts, which led to his reaction.

The emperor also understood Xiao Yunci's personality. If Wen Ning was still an orphan in the past, it would be fine. But now Wen Ning is the crown princess. Moreover, it is said that she has already established a firm foothold in the capital and has done some things that have won the hearts of the people. She is no longer at the mercy of others as before.
