375 Preparation (1/2)

After the court was dismissed, Yan looked at Ming Hui and Soujin, ”We might not meet each other for a long time after this. Take care of yourself, Ming Hui.”

”I'm not like you who cannot take care of yourself, third brother,” Ming Hui snorted in disdain, ”Anyway, why did they suddenly strike? The report is not that complete.”

On the side, Shu felt that this prince was blaming him. In any case, he was not the one writing the report. He was only announcing the important point, so they could know the gist of the situation. If they wanted the complete report, it would be the one handed to the emperor and prime ministers.

Yan shrugged, ”blame Nanglong Souka if you want. He's the one preparing for the report.”

”Where is that old man?” Soujin hadn't seen his grandfather for a long time. Usually that shameless old man number two would be pestering him to no end and complained about Soujin's attitude towards him. Not that Soujin would listen, though.

”I told him to amuse that princess and Tang Xuan. The negotiation hadn't over yet,” Yan answered.

From all the officials in court, why must you send that shameless old man to keep the princess and Tang Xuan busy? Soujin knew that his grandfather must be making fun of himself while trying to keep the princess and Tang Xuan busy from noticing this matter.

The two of them will be kept in the dark about the matter first. They would be the first one to complain if something happened in the Yuan Kingdom because it would affect the negotiation greatly. Since they came from the Yuan Kingdom area, it would be hard for them to return if the rebels were not pacified first.

”Let's return to the topic, why did they suddenly rebel?”

”The emperor had announced that he would step down after the matter was over. However, there are some people who against him giving the kingdom to other people outside of Yuan Kingdom. Not to mention that Yuan Kingdom has become a subordinate kingdom, which greatly ashamed them.

Thus, they have been planning to launch an attack on us. I have captured some of them before this, but the plan goes on and they finally strike us a few days ago,” Yan explained through fully.

Soujin nodded his head. Their act of unifying the entire land was not completely supported. There would still some people who against this idea across the entire country. If the number was a lot, they might join hand and launched an attack together.

”What about those nobles on the northeast, why are they still alive?” Soujin narrowed his eyes.

Yan sighed, ”We didn't kill everyone on the court when we conquered the area because some of them are quite capable. However, I have neglected the people who supported the slave system, allowing them to be free and collect their supporter in order to change the system again.”

Among the previous five kingdoms, Kai Kingdom was the only one who used the slave system without payment and the slave basically has no right. They used the orphan to become slave since a young age and made them unable to work by themselves. Ever since Yan managed to take a hold of the kingdom, he had been sending them to learn about things like farming or anything else. He wanted them to live a better life and even if they were to become a servant, they would be paid and have a good living condition.

Soujin nodded his head. He knew that they must have wanted to use the manpower for free without caring about their condition. If they used the same way with the other country, there were still servants, but their living condition was far better. Besides, the servant might get out of the residence if they were to be married away or they have someone paid for them.
