I Became the Crown Prince of a Ruined Country - Chapter 112

112 – Shadows

I’ve been gripped by anxiety lately.

The atmosphere in Wei Nara was unusual. Even though her Shinneunggun was dismissed from her Sangsanggun, her Wei King’s check on her is intensifying.

Zhao Nara and Yeompa put pressure on the Wei Dynasty, which in fact angered the King of Wei.

To some extent, this was expected. King Wei respected her even before her godling army came over to her country of Zhao, but tried to reject her.

However, since he returned with a higher status than before, and he may have had bad feelings for the King of Wiscons due to an incident the other day, he must have been sick.

Those who had some insight expected this result, so the guests of Xinling’s army did not dare to advise Xinling’s army, who was living in confinement in Zhao, to stand up for the Wei Dynasty.

I was expecting it to go like this too. Even so, I returned to Yan without worrying in particular and devoted myself to taking care of my future.

The reason for this was half the belief that if it was Shinleung-gun, how would this situation be overcome?

However, unlike the fact that I took away real power from his father, King Yeon, King Xin Leung stood by while King Wei diminished his position, and showed no sign of leaving Wei.

Even when I tried to contact Zhang Yi, the leader of the Wei Nara branch at the top of the movie, the answer came back saying that Shin Leung-gun did not make any contact with the top of the movie.

Then, did you hope that the King of Wei’s interest would fade by choosing seclusion? That wasn’t it again

Conversely, it is said that Shinneung-gun holds banquets every day.

From her original diners to her visitors who visit her every day. Following the saying that he does not block those who come and does not catch those who leave, Shinleung-gun was directly welcoming all those who were looking for him.

The problem is that the act could maintain its reputation, but it was an act that stimulated the king’s awareness and eroded her own health.

Dealing with people is also labor. If you hold a banquet there, you cannot miss the alcohol. It is said that the alcohol content is lower than that of modern beer, but even so, drinking it every day could not be good for health.

‘What the hell are you thinking? Are you waiting for Cho Nara to decide and attack Wei Nara? Is Shin Leung-kun the only person who can stop the salt wave?’

But that never happens.

Jo Nara has already taken the side of Shinneung-gun, and the act of giving military power to Shin-leung-gun would be like entrusting fish to a cat from the perspective of King Wi.

In the end, Shin Leung-gun’s actions seemed to a third party to be just burning the remaining time with pleasure, thinking that this life was over.

Just as Pyeongwon-gun formed a joint army during the siege of Handan and fell into a banquet saying that I had done my job.

‘This is not the time. Frequent drinking eats away at your health, and the pressure of the Wei king eats away at your nerves. One year of such a life….’

I know because I tried it. What is the blood-drying pain of those who live day by day under the threat of life?

‘The mind wears out and the senses become numb. I’d rather be drunk and not feel it properly.’

Why did Yuk Son, who is not left out when talking about the best generals in the Three Kingdoms, died?

Yukson, who had completely defeated the veteran Liu Bei and showed off his exceptional ability in both martial arts and warfare, was not killed by the enemy, but by Son Kwon, the lord of Jeju.

Considering the boldness and resoluteness he showed, it couldn’t have been a very futile end.

I regretted that I should have paid more attention to the Wei country in the first place, rather than just trusting Shin Leung-gun and doing my own work.

‘I’ll have to go there myself.’

Even if I leave right now, Yeon Na will return without any problems. In one year, the Yan Dynasty was completely reorganized.

Domestic Affairs, Diplomacy, Military. On top of that, the ironware that is being introduced under special management and the agricultural revolution that follows it.

In all fields, my people were placed in important positions.

In the first place, the political strife of the Yan Dynasty was, in fact, no different from a play. The military, the government, everything is in my hands.

King Yan doesn’t seem to know that yet, but the trend is already in a state of strength a long time ago.

If he had given the power to the Sangbang Janggeo, he would have been able to oppose it by combining the king’s authority and the real power of the Sangbang. It was a fight that was over before it even started, as King Yeon moved according to his supervisor and rejected the loyal general.

That’s when I decided to go to Wei.

I don’t know if I should like this or be sad, an incident has occurred.

“The king of Zhao was in trouble.”

There was a lot of talk and a lot of trouble, but it was the death of a lot of kings who preserved the national body and kept the throne for 20 years despite various crises.

§

With the death of King Zhao, the dispute between Zhao and Wei temporarily stopped, but after the funeral, it was a memorial period and without anything, Yeompa was certain to resume the attack.

He didn’t even hide his presence. As the king died and the country was plunged into chaos, the war would stop immediately, but after the crown prince ascended the throne and the country calmed down, the troops would be dispatched immediately, so he ordered them to prepare.

From the beginning, he was famous for his fiery temper, but his passion and fighting spirit did not cool down at all even at the age of 60.

While the unstoppable belligerence of this kind of yeompa is going up in gossip in the country of Cho, in the country of Wei, yeompa was also going up and down as the main character of the topic.

And it was the same at Sinleunggun’s mansion.

Around the time when the banquet was about to end.

In the midst of drunken people going back to their residences, Huijeokhuijeok innkeepers did not refuse the drinks they were offered and drank them all.

“Really, he is a person who does not know how to fade away. It is as evaluated that no one except King Hyemun and Impression can control him.”

“What do you think, Mr. Dangjeo, about Shinpyeong-gun’s actions?”

He must have been quite drunk because of his pale face.

“If you look at it from a national perspective, it’s foolish. The three-pronged alliance that was barely built is about to shake. If it’s just a war, I wonder if I can’t afford it…”

To Dangjeo, who clicked his tongue, he shook his head excitedly, saying that the weapon above was not like that.

“Yeompa. He has a lot of remnants. He must have pointed the spear at Wei with a pure mindset that he was for me. Put me back in the position of Sanggun.”

While in Zhao Nara, Wei Wuqi shared friendship with Yeompa.

Yeompa is a picky person, but it was said that he quickly developed into a relationship that he could open up to, as if he had been close with even more single-minded people.

“By the way, do you remember? When he was dismissed from his position as commander in the Great War of Changping, Yeompa’s diners left him. Then he played an active part in the war against Yan and returned as a Shinpyeonggun, and the diners flocked again.”

“I remember. Shinpyeong-gun was very angry with them and shouted at them to go away.”

“Yeompa treated them well, but they didn’t show their sincerity to him, so he felt betrayed. Yeompa knows that. That’s why he sharpens his teeth even more. To me, even my life is not a waste.”

“A relationship in which you won’t regret even if your head is cut off, Mungyeongjigyo.”

When Yeom-pa, who had a grudge against Im Sang-yeo, who rose to a higher position than herself despite not having military service, insisted that she would insult her author, Im Sang-yeo runs away from Yeom-pa.

Seeing such an impression, Yeompa scoffs, saying, “Look at that,” But she kindly teaches the reason why she avoids Yeompa to impress her own diners who are resentful of that behavior.

‘What the Qin Dynasty fears is not the Zhao Dynasty with its impressions, nor the Zhao Dynasty with its Yeompa. What the Qin Dynasty fears is the Zhao Dynasty, which has both Impression and Yeompa. So the two of us fighting each other and losing one of them will only benefit Qin, and I’m just avoiding Yeompa Ball.’

Hearing her impression-yeo’s words, Yeom-pa, along with her great realization, fell into her great self-reproach, took off her coat, and went to her impression-yeo with her club on her back, and apologized to her. He forgives Yeompa by putting his clothes on.

At this, Yeompa said that even if it was for you, he would be fine with his head cut off, and asked to become close friends.

“However, in the process of Yeompa’s bold step forward, there must have been some kind of dark system. Yeompa was not the top, but the winner.

“Do you think Geonsin-gun intentionally neglected Shinpyeong-gun?”

“Geonshin-gun is a pro-Jin faction.”

The most bloody glint in Wei Wuqi’s eyes made me wonder if he was really drunk.

Her face hardened at her confident declaration.

“If Geonsin-gun is a pro-Jin faction… Do you mean that Shinpyeong-gun played into the hands of Jin?”

“Shinpyeong-gun is superior to me in military talent, but unfortunately he’s not bright in politics. He’s a very hot-blooded person. He has a ghost-like cool-headedness on the battlefield, but how can he be so ferocious when it comes to politics.”

Wei Wuqi automatically laughed when he recalled the image of Yeompa.

The eyes that had been deeply sunken returned to their original state. Wei Wuqi thought of the pores and pores that did not exist here. There were many shocking facts about her, as well as the news that they were delivering from all over her country.

One of them was to secure evidence that Gunsin-gun had turned to the pro-Jin faction.

“The shadow of the Qin Dynasty cast over the world is large and deep. Perhaps the fortunes of the nations have already ended.”

Jwasengsang of the Zhao Dynasty, Geonsingun of the Qi Dynasty, General of the Han Dynasty, etc. (騰).

Yulbok, who is now in disarray, but who sparked the Yan-Zhao war in the past.

Likewise, Jaran (子蘭), who was pushed out by Chunsin-gun, destroyed Qu Yuan, who tried to fight Jin by allying with Qi while he was in Yeongyun.

And even the pro-jinpa and sejak who are currently active in the country of Wei.

The roots of the Chin-Jin sect planted by the Qin Dynasty were too wide and thick.

Since there are not a few cases where pro-Jin faction occupies even Sangbang and Yeongyun, the highest ministers, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the Qin Dynasty’s influence already dominated all countries.

The more she knew the inside story, the more she was astonished at the insidiousness and terribleness of the Qin Dynasty.

What she said to Heedan the other day was meaningless.

‘The Qin Dynasty is a more fearsome enemy than Young master imagined.’

However, the same applies to Wei Wuqi himself.

Until now, Wei Wuqi was not sure how far the shadow of the Qin Dynasty was hanging.

“But I can’t quit.”

Nevertheless, the reason why the Wei Wuqi does not give up is that it has found a piece of hope that shines brilliantly even in the thick darkness.

So Wei Wuqi was willing to do what she had to do, and only she could do.

Is Heedan worried about himself right now? Or is he being made a fool of himself and getting frustrated with himself for giving up everything as if he were falling for the lead role?

Reasonably, even Hui Dan thought it would be good to have the latter idea, but Wei Wuqi sincerely wished for the former.

If that’s the case, Wei Wuqi himself will happily walk to the end of this road.

‘I will reap the shadow of the Qin Dynasty.’

So please, let that light illuminate the nations.
