Is Chapter 164 really true?
Those whose names were called by Wu Fengluan were all stunned. Then Chen Sheng took a step forward and cursed loudly.
"You son of a bitch, you still remember you're the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty?"
“My master warned you in advance that there would be trouble in Jiangnan, but you ignored it and let the river move the national treasury funds.”
“My master was loyal to the Great Qian Dynasty, but because his achievements were too great and threatened the emperor, you stripped him of his title and exiled him to the frontier.”
"Under my master's leadership, the Daqian army was invincible. It hasn't been long since my master left, and now, Daqian has no army at all. They can even send out the Imperial Guards to fight!"
Chen Sheng pointed at Wu Fengluan and roared, "Tell me, shouldn't your Great Qian Dynasty perish?"
"You do nothing that you're supposed to do, and you do everything that you're not supposed to do. In my opinion, you brought this situation upon yourself!"
Suddenly, Wu Fengluan stood up and waved her hand, exuding a certain air of authority despite her long-standing high position.
"Hahaha, Chen Sheng, now even you dare to look down on me?"
"Yes, I admit that Chen Nan is very strong, extremely strong, but he shouldn't have made the decision for me."
"If it were you, could you tolerate a general executing his supervisor before he goes out to battle?"
"I'm afraid no one can tolerate this, can they?"
Wu Fengluan spoke with great conviction, and then burst into laughter.
Seeing this, Chen Sheng leaned behind Chen Nan and whispered, "Master, is this woman crazy? Why is she just laughing like that?"
"You are all sinners of our Great Qian Dynasty, especially you, Chen Nan!"
Wu Fengluan pointed at Chen Nan and spoke sharply.
"Hehe, I have to say, you really are naive!"
Chen Nan scoffed: "Tell me, if it weren't for me, Chen Nan, presiding over the Great Qian Dynasty, who knows how many people would claim to be kings or emperors!"
"I, Chen Nan, single-handedly helped you ascend to the throne of the Great Qian Emperor, and yet you call me a sinner of the Great Qian!"
"Hmph! I admit that the Great Qian Dynasty did need you at the beginning, but why didn't you return power to me after you took power?" Wu Fengluan clenched her fists and spoke coldly.
"Enough! I don't have the energy to argue with you. Out of respect for the late Emperor, I will spare your life!"
As Chen Nan spoke, he turned to look at Mo Bai: "After today, arrange a mansion for her and some servants for her. As long as she doesn't do anything reckless, we don't need to pay too much attention to her."
"Understood, I will take care of it shortly!" Mo Bai nodded in agreement.
To everyone's surprise, Wu Fengluan did not seem very satisfied with the result.
Instead, he became entangled: "Chen Nan, you once promised the late emperor to protect our Great Qian Dynasty. What about now? Is this the Great Qian Dynasty you've been protecting?"
"Open your eyes and look! The Great Qian Dynasty has been usurped by that scoundrel Jiang He. Aren't you going to care about any of this?"
"Or are you, Chen Nan, going back on your promise?"
Chen Nan was stunned. Even now, Wu Fengluan not only failed to recognize her mistake, but was also morally blackmailing him.
A surge of anger welled up inside him. He kicked the wall beside him and said in a cold voice, "Get this straight: if it weren't for your obstruction, the world would have been unified long ago."
"Why didn't you mention it back then when I captured several cities with just a few hundred elite soldiers?"
"Why did you remain silent when I defeated Qingyu and Hongming?"
"Now look what's happened, you're just watching the Great Qian Dynasty decline, watching it be stolen, and what are you doing now?"
Even if I were at my worst, I wouldn't have reduced you, the Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty, to the point of fleeing famine, would I?
"Even now, you remain the same, without the slightest change!"
After saying that, Chen Nan didn't give Wu Fengluan a chance to speak and turned to leave.
When everyone reached the prison gate, Chen Nan stopped and calmly said, "Chen Sheng is right about one thing."
"You, Wu Fengluan, deserve to have fallen to such a state!"
"Back then, if I had followed my policies and gradually implemented reforms, it would have been only a matter of time before we recovered Beiqian."
"Remember, you're the one who ruined everything, including your Great Qian Dynasty!"
"You actually say that all of this is my fault? Chen Nan, are you planning to rebel?" At this moment, Wu Fengluan seemed to have gone mad, gripping the pillars of the cell with both hands and shaking them constantly.
Chen Nan shook his head helplessly: "Even now, you still can't see the situation clearly."
"I, Chen Nan, have never had any thoughts of rebellion, much less of usurping the throne."
"Everything is because your heart is too narrow. It is because your heart is too narrow that you cannot contain this world, and you are even less worthy of the supreme throne!"
In the end, everyone left the prison, ignoring Wu Fengluan's frantic roars.
On the way, Hongming asked, "Chen Nan, do you still have feelings for Wu Fengluan?"
"Huh?" Chen Nan was taken aback. "Why would you have such a thought?"
"Wu Fengluan's words were fierce and her expression was frantic, yet you still spared her life. Doesn't that mean you still have feelings for her?"
Chen Nan smiled; he knew it was just that Hongming was jealous.
He could only explain, "I have no feelings for her, not before, and I will never have any in the future."
"The only reason she was spared was out of respect for the late Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty."
"Oh, I see..." Hongming nodded, remaining silent.
"Okay, let's not talk about this now."
Chen Nan stopped and looked around at everyone: "Mo Bai, go find a mansion and arrange for Wu Fengluan to move in. Remember, the surrounding environment must be good, and also, there's the issue of safety. I need to know her whereabouts at all times."
"Wu Xu, take some men to the death row and find Fang He. It would be best if you could get him to go on a mission to the barbarian tribes."
"As for you two..." Chen Nan glanced at Chen Sheng and Gao Shun, "You two should go to the military camp and get acquainted with the soldiers. You'll be needed for the attack on the barbarians later!"
"Master, what about you? Where are you going?" Chen Sheng asked, puzzled.
Gao Shun nodded honestly in agreement and then walked towards the military camp outside the city.
"Get lost, you're trying to tell me what to do now?" Chen Nan laughed and scolded.
After everyone had gone some distance, Chen Nan sighed: "Hongming, wasn't Yinwu Marquis the first general to lead an expedition against the barbarians?"
Hongming paused for a moment: "Not many people in the entire Northern Wei Dynasty know about this. How did you find out?"
"I just want to know if this is really true!"
At this point, Chen Nan already had the answer in his mind, but he wanted to ask further.
Of course, asking follow-up questions was secondary; the main purpose was to probe Hongming's attitude.
He won't force someone to go if they don't want him to.
“My father was indeed the first general to lead the campaign against the barbarians, but I don’t really recommend you ask him for details.” Hongming smiled, but his smile was full of helplessness.
