After traveling through time, I thrived in ancient times

Chapter 353 Arrangement

Yu Tingwan never expected that the late emperor's will not only told Shen Chenli to supervise the emperor's actions to prevent the emperor from doing anything detrimental to Da Sheng due to personal grudges, but also that at the critical moment, Shen Chenli could directly pull down the emperor and ascend the throne himself!

So, what Yu Tingwan didn't understand was...

"If that's the case, why didn't the late emperor just make you the emperor?"

Why do we have to go around in such a big circle?

"The late emperor did not want to make me emperor."

He never thought that the emperor's will was intended to make him emperor.

"Everything he did was for the people of Dasheng. He wanted to find a qualified heir, so he almost never interfered in the fights between the princes. Otherwise, there wouldn't be only three princes left in the royal family: the emperor, Prince Rui, and me.

When we were the only ones left, the late emperor had only one candidate in his mind, and that was the emperor. Prince Rui and I were not among his candidates for the throne."

Yu Tingwan put himself into the shoes of the previous emperor and thought for a while, and found that it seemed that the emperor was indeed the only candidate left.

Seeing Yu Tingwan's expression of sudden enlightenment, Shen Chenli smiled bitterly and said:

"Have you figured it out? Prince Rui is cruel by nature. If he becomes emperor, the people of Dasheng will live in dire straits. As for me, I am not of my race, so his heart must be different. Even though I am his son, the most outstanding one among all his children, he has never considered me as a candidate for the throne."

Yu Tingwan suddenly realized, looked at him and frowned, "Your life is pretty hard!"

Even though she is from the modern era, she would have such thoughts on race.

Those who are not of my race must have different hearts. This sentence has long been deeply rooted in her mind.

However, she also understood the late emperor's will. If it were her, she would do the same. Shen Chenli is a taboo, but also a hope.

Therefore, he would not be the most preferred choice, but he is also the person who can be trusted at the last moment.

I have to say, this is really sad!

After hearing what Yu Tingwan said, Shen Chenli didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and for a moment he felt a lot less depressed.

He raised his hand to put the file back, then turned and looked at Yu Tingwan.

"No matter what the late emperor meant, the situation in Dasheng is not good right now. I must not let the people of Dasheng live in dire straits."

Yu Tingwan nodded slightly: "What are your plans now?"

"What do you think, Wanwan?"

Looking at him, Yu Tingwan told him her thoughts.

"Mr. Lu has already produced a batch of pistols. There are also some other weapons, such as bombs. Keep them for now. Don't use them if you can. I know you don't want to hurt innocent people, especially when facing the people of Dasheng."

If the explosion really hit other innocent civilians, Shen Chenli would probably never live to see the light of day again.

"Also, give one pistol to each general first, and one to each of the people I selected. They can act as the vanguard and gather intelligence, or send a group of people to the capital to ambush, so that they can be easily supported when the time comes."

Shen Chenli nodded in agreement. He was indeed thinking that if they used explosives, they would be able to advance into the capital at the fastest speed, which would inevitably cause harm to the people.

So he would not use it if he could avoid it. Of course, if the final battle line was too long, he would reconsider it.

The two discussed for a while, and finally included the Dark Building as a candidate for spying on intelligence.

No one knew who built the dark building, which allowed them to understand the situation in the capital more clearly without any hindrance.

It can be used in special times like now.

"I'll let Song Shixu arrange it now. I'll discuss other details with the generals after the soldiers are ready."

In fact, it is not just that. They can now foresee the reactions of various countries when they decide to take action against Da Sheng. They will probably want to get a piece of the pie.

It's okay here because of their military deterrence. Dong Qi has already signed a peace agreement. The possibility of tearing it up is 50%, but it's better.

The most difficult to deal with is Southern Liang. They simply do not have the military power to reach the Southern Liang border in a short period of time to stop them.

Moreover, Nanliang's use of poison is a very difficult point to deal with. Unless they bring Yu Tingwan and Lu Cheng with them all the time, otherwise, the soldiers who go to Nanliang will probably suffer a lot.

Early the next morning, Yu Tingwan went to the cave where Lu Ming was.

Up to now, Lu Ming has hardly walked out of the cave for such a long time. He can't even tell what year it is day or night.

Yu Tingwan's arrival made Lu Ming very happy. Everything he did now depended on the help of the princess.

Most of the things were inspired by the drawings given by the princess.

So every time when he made something good, the first thing Lu Ming thought of was to let the princess see it.

Unfortunately, the princess was too busy and had too many things to do. Every time she went out to look for someone, she either went to the border town or went to the mountain cave for training. What's more, I heard that she even went to Dongqi to bring back the King of Dongping last time.

It’s simply outrageous!

"Princess, it's really not easy to see you!"

Knowing that he was teasing her, Yu Tingwan smiled helplessly.

"The prince and I will be leaving the border in a few days. I'm afraid we won't be back for a long time, so it will be even harder to see you."

Lu Ming didn't expect Yu Tingwan to leave again, and asked in confusion: "Who are you going to catch this time?"

"Catch who?"

Who can she catch?

Seeing that she was a little confused, Lu Ming shrugged and said, "I heard from everyone that you left before to capture the King of Dongping. So what about this time, aren't you going out to capture someone?"

Yu Tingwan raised an eyebrow and looked at him. She didn't expect that this man was not completely oblivious to what was happening outside.

"Not this time. This time we are going to... the capital city!"

"Dashengjing City?"

Seeing Yu Tingwan's serious expression, Lu Ming had some guesses in his mind, but he never liked to meddle in these things, so he didn't ask in detail.

Instead, he looked at Yu Tingwan and said, "So you came here not only to see my achievements, right?"

"How could that be?" Yu Tingwan denied it directly, and then said with a smile:

"I'm here to take away the fruits of your labor!"

Hearing this, Lu Ming rolled his eyes speechlessly, knowing that it wouldn't be that simple.

"Come on, I'll take you there!"

As they were talking, the two came to the inner room they had been to last time. There were even more things placed inside than before, with various boxes placed in rows, and it looked like there were dozens of boxes.

"Look, this room is full of bombs. I have made all the styles you want, and even made very small smoke bombs."

Then Lu Ming walked further in and turned into another cave. There were not many boxes here, but when Lu Ming opened them, Yu Tingwan was still amazed.

Opening a box casually, Lu Ming took out something from it and handed it to Yu Tingwan.

"I recently made another batch. It's better looking than the ones I gave you a few days ago. There are also some other things."
