?Chapter 777: Chapter 695: Silent Boast_1 Chapter 777: Chapter 695: Silent Boast_1 “After reclaiming Dongqu City, the Eighth Prince fled all the way to the Tartar Imperial Court; by the time we pursued him there, he had already died of illness and was hastily buried in a mound on the desolate steppe,” Xiu Xiangchen reported to the Emperor in the Qianqing Palace, detailing the events involving the Eighth Prince and his followers.
The Emperor fell silent for a long while, “Are you certain it was the Eighth Prince?”
Xiu Xiangchen nodded, “My subordinates and I have confirmed it.” As he spoke, he quickly glanced at the Emperor and carefully added, “I did not dare to move the Eighth Prince’s remains on my own, but I have recorded the location.”
The Emperor snickered and sighed, “For his selfish desires, the Eighth Prince flouted the greater good of the country, conspired with the Tartars, and set fire to our military provisions. Since that’s the case, let him be buried on the steppe and spare the soil of our great Daxia from contamination.”
Suddenly, Xiu Xiangchen knelt down to confess a wrongdoing, and Xiao Yeyang, Yan Wentao, and Yan Wenkai behind him could only do the same, “Your Majesty, I beg for forgiveness, we were incapable of annihilating the Eighth Prince’s followers completely, allowing some of them to still be at large.”
The Emperor did not blame them, “You cannot be faulted for this; the steppe is vast, and once they hide there, it would be difficult for you to find them. Without the Eighth Prince, they are just a rabble. All right, rise, all of you.”
Xiu Xiangchen and the others stood up with Xiao Yeyang.
After Xiu Xiangchen finished reporting, Chui Gang also rushed to present military updates, “The Border Army has already taken control of the Tartar territory, but as the Tartars are nomadic, it is not particularly easy to manage.”
The Emperor nodded, “We will discuss this matter with the ministers in the court meeting.”
Hearing this, Chui Gang said no more; as a military officer, he was only responsible for warfare, not governance.
