Chapter 438

After Xie Xuanchen finished speaking, the already relaxed atmosphere suddenly became solemn. Even the Emperors expression changed, Nonsense. The nation has its rules and so does the military. Women have not been allowed in and out of the military camps since ancient times to prevent damage and distraction to the morale of the army. In turn, you are simply ignoring it by bringing a woman on an expedition. You cannot expect me to allow you to ignore military discipline and treat the lives of our soldiers as childs play.

Xie Xuanchen snorted lightly and said, As long as I win this battle, you dont have to bother with my methods of fighting. Besides, I am not taking the Princess out for fun, but because there was a preceding incident to this.

The Emperor was startled after hearing this and his facial expressions were obviously dark. Some of the courtiers were slow to catch on the hidden meaning, Whats the precedent? Was there anyone else who wanted to take women out to the battlefield before?

Xie Xuanchen thought of the past and even though so many years had pa.s.sed since, his heartbeat still palpitated rapidly when he mentioned this again, My mother Yin, the late Empress Wenzhao, was killed by Emperor Gong of the later Jin Dynasty during the late Emperors expedition. Going to the battlefield is of my own accord, so should I meet my fate and die, it would have been something that I brought upon myself. However, why should women pay the price for a mans ambition? My own mother has already been killed due to this and I will never be able to forgive myself for the rest of my life due to my err in judgement. Therefore, I will never let my wife face the same situation again. Wherever I am from now on, she will be.

In the 5th year of Heping, which was later the first year of Hongjia, the year when Guo Rong proclaimed himself Emperor and founded the country, he and Xie Yi were ordered to conquer Guangjin in March. They won a great victory in June, but the expeditionary army did not return to the court for a long time.

At that time, the duo thought, instead of going back to work for the incompetent, why not become a ruler of their own? But before they could decide whether to take advantage of this G.o.d-given opportunity to rebel, Emperor Gong of the Jin Dynasty in the capital became suspicious of Guo Rong and Xie Yi, killing both of their families in a fit of rage.

When the news of the incident reached Yecheng, Guo Rong was furious, so he completely raised his banner of rebellion and attacked the immoral Emperor Gong. Xie Xuanchen was only fifteen years old at the time. He also wanted to fight with his father back then, but neither Xie Yi nor Guo Rong wanted to bring him along. Xie Xuanchen secretly ran out of Xie Residence and followed the tracks of the vehicle. When Xie Yi later found out that Xie Xuanchen had followed him, he was very angry. However, it was too late to say anything at that time, so Xie Yi could only endure his anger and take his son with him.

When Guo Rong and Xie Yi stayed in Yecheng, intensely discussing the possibilities of rebellion, Xie Xuanchen was also among them. He enthusiastically encouraged Guo Rong to split up and work alone. At that time, he was young and full of energy, thinking of nothing more than the fact that he wanted to bring achievements and pride to the country. He never thought that his actions would, in turn, lead to his mothers death.
