Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 847

Chapter 847: Revised: Chapter 844: Governing the World

Zhao Sheng also understood that Bai Qingyan placed him and Bai Jinzhi in Daliang because Bai Qingyan gave him, a surrendered general, the greatest trust, and he would not betray Bai Qingyan.

Bai Qingyan saw that everyone in the room had their own thoughts and said, "Perhaps we were once opponents, but now we are all great generals of the Jin Kingdom, members of the same country. I will not hide this matter from you. The people have already suffered once through military campaigns. As long as we quell the rebellion in Dadu City by King Liang, at least the people of Jin can have a period of peace to recuperate. So, I ask everyone to endure this hardship with me once more."

"We respectfully await the commands of the Princess of Zhen!" Yang Wuce straightened his posture and saluted with his fist folded in his hand.

Yang Wuce had already heard from Zhao Sheng that the Princess of Zhen had ambitions to replace the Emperor of Jin. He had fought under the Princess of Zhen for so long, how could he not see her ambition and determination?

For these surrendered generals like Yang Wuce and Zhao Sheng, they had surrendered to the Princess of Zhen, and they did not care who the ruler of Jin was.

This time, Bai Qingyan was bringing the massive numbers of surrendered soldiers and generals of Liang back to secure the throne to ensure Liu Hong could not control these surrendered soldiers and generals.

Bai Qingyan turned to Liu Hong and said, "General Liu, time is of the essence, let us set out!"

Liu Hong, hearing that King Liang had rebelled, was anxious and nodded.

Seizing the moment while troops were being assembled, Bai Qingyan gathered the Bai family guards.

She first dispatched the Bai family guards to send a message to Bai Qingyu, informing him of her intention to deploy the Bai family army back to Dadu to support the Emperor and cautioning him to guard against any Xiliang movements.

She then handed a handwritten letter to the Bai family guards: "Take three people immediately and deliver this letter personally to Governor Dong of Dengzhou!"

In the letter, Bai Qingyan informed Dong Qingyue of King Liang’s desperate attempt to seize the throne in Dadu City, her and Liu Hong’s plan to return to Dadu City with the surrendered soldiers of Liang to support the Emperor, and requested her uncle Dong Qingyue to monitor the situation in various states closely...

Her letter was not overly detailed, but she believed that with her uncle Dong Qingyue’s intellect, he would understand that her decision to bring only the surrendered soldiers and not the old Jin soldiers back to Dadu City indicated her intention to seize the throne.

She then instructed Shen Qingzhu: "Qingzhu, head to the southern border immediately. Pass orders to Bai Qingjue, Shen Kunyang, Wei Zhaonian, and Gu Wenchang, that after leaving behind sufficient forces to guard the border, they must immediately march back to Dadu in the name of supporting the Emperor! Split the troops into two groups, one heading to Pingyang to ask the Governor of Pingyang to lead the Pingyang Army to Dadu City, and the other heading directly to Dadu City."

"Understood!" Shen Qingzhu responded without delay and set off immediately.

Bai Jinzhi, Zhao Sheng, and Cai Ziyuan came forward to inquire about the situation in Dadu City, and Bai Qingyan cautioned them: "Regardless of the news coming from Dadu City, you must keep a firm grip on Daliang and prevent any chaos. Do you understand?"

"Ziyuan has one more thing to say to the Princess of Zhen..." Cai Ziyuan bowed deeply to Bai Qingyan, then stepped closer to her and whispered, "Princess, replacing the ruler is a gradual process, if it can’t be achieved in one fell swoop, why not... emulate the ancients and hold the Emperor under our control?"
