Chapter 151 Turmoil
Chapter 151 Turmoil
Shen Mo led the army to launch the final charge, the battlefield was filled with shouts of killing and smoke. After a fierce battle, the enemy finally couldn't hold out and began to flee in defeat.
"Chase! Don't give them a chance to breathe!" Shen Mo rode on a warhorse, waving his sword, commanding his soldiers to pursue the victory.
Under the leadership of Shen Mo, the army chased the enemy all the way, drove them out of the border, and won a glorious victory.
When the news of victory spread back to the capital, the whole city was immersed in joy. However, Lin Yuwei did not relax her vigilance, because she knew that those hidden enemies would not give up easily.
After Shen Mo reorganized the army, he began to return to the court. Along the way, he thought about how to completely resolve the struggles in the palace so that the country could be truly stable and prosperous.
When Shen Mo returned to the capital, he was warmly welcomed by the people. The emperor held a banquet in the palace to celebrate his success and praised his bravery and wisdom.
"Shen Mo, I am deeply pleased that you have made great contributions this time." said the emperor.
Shen Mo knelt down to thank him: "I just did my duty. It is my mission to protect my country."
After the banquet, Shen Mo returned to the palace and reunited with Lin Yuwei.
"Have you been doing well in the palace during this period?" Shen Mo asked with concern.
Lin Yuwei nodded: "Everything is fine, but those people are still making small moves."
Shen Mo frowned: "I will never let them succeed."
At the same time, the conspirators gathered together to discuss their next plan.
"Shen Mo has made great achievements in battle and his reputation has greatly increased. We must find a way to get rid of him as soon as possible." One of them said.
"Why not take action at his celebration banquet, create chaos, and then use the opportunity to frame him for treason," suggested another person.
They hatched a detailed conspiracy and planned to implement it at the celebration banquet.
The day of the celebration banquet soon arrived, and the palace was decorated with lights and was bustling. Shen Mo and Lin Yuwei attended the banquet together, and they remained vigilant at all times.
Halfway through the banquet, someone suddenly shouted, "There's an assassin! Protect the prince!"
Suddenly, the scene fell into chaos, and some people took the opportunity to rush towards Shen Mo, trying to assassinate him.
Shen Mo drew his sword and fought with the assassin, while Lin Yuwei calmly observed the situation and looked for clues about the mastermind behind the scenes.
Just when Shen Mo was about to subdue the assassin, someone else shouted, "The prince is plotting a rebellion, quickly arrest him!"
Some soldiers who did not know the truth were instigated and began to move closer to Shen Mo.
"Don't be deceived, this is the enemy's conspiracy!" Shen Mo shouted loudly.
But in the chaos, the situation is hard to control.
Lin Yuwei discovered a sneaky figure quietly approaching the emperor.
"Oh no, their target is the emperor!" Lin Yuwei was shocked.
She rushed towards the emperor regardless of everything and stood in front of him.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the sneaky man turned around and ran away. Lin Yuwei chased him relentlessly and finally subdued him in a corner.
After interrogation, this person confessed that the masterminds behind the scenes were Shen Mo's brothers and some ministers with evil intentions.
When the emperor learned the truth, he was furious and ordered all the conspirators to be arrested.
Shen Mo once again proved his innocence and loyalty in this crisis.
However, after this series of turmoil, the country needs time to recover and rebuild.
Shen Mo and Lin Yuwei were fully aware of the heavy responsibility, so they began to reform the government, rectify the administration of officials, and strengthen national defense.
They issued a series of decrees to reduce the burden on the people, encourage agricultural production and promote commercial development.
Thanks to their efforts, the country gradually became prosperous.
But at this time, news came from the border that some small tribes took advantage of the chaos to harass the border.
"These people really don't know how to live or die." Shen Mo said.
Lin Yuwei suggested: "Why not send an envoy to appease them and resolve the issue through peaceful means first."
Shen Mo accepted her suggestion and sent an envoy.
The envoys went to the border tribes with generous gifts and a peaceful intention. However, the tribal leaders were tough and rejected the envoys' good intentions.
"It seems that the only solution is force." Shen Mo decided to go out again.
Lin Yuwei looked at him worriedly: "Be careful."
Shen Mo nodded and led the army to the border again...
