Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 2337 - 2293: Advancing Unimpeded

He had just solved the issue with the Prince Grand Tutor two days ago and was naturally more confident, wanting to solve the problem in the simplest way.

"Impossible." However, as soon as he spoke, he was immediately met with objection from another person.

The other person was dressed in civilian official attire, appearing to be in his sixties or seventies, with an elegant demeanor.

He was the current Prime Minister.

"Prince." The Prime Minister stepped out from the crowd and immediately said, "General Gongsun’s proposed method is extremely inappropriate."

"I believe, since the Crown Prince dares to be so ostentatious, he must have something to rely on."

"It’s definitely not a bluff."

"If we directly dispatch troops to besiege him, not only will it be ineffective, but what will the world think?"

"What will the other feudal lords and officials think?"

"We absolutely cannot send troops to besiege."

The Prime Minister firmly opposed Gongsun Ji’s proposal.

"Prime Minister, your words make sense, but tell me, what is the correct way to handle this?" Gongsun Ji frowned, feeling very impatient.

In his view, these civil officials had no practical skills and just kept babbling incessantly.

He found it quite repulsive.

"Hmph." The Prime Minister also sensed Gongsun Ji’s mood, snorted coldly, and said, "If you ask me, we should let the Crown Prince in."

"What? Prime Minister, are you crazy? Letting the Crown Prince in is like digging our own grave." Gongsun Ji said.

"Indeed, we’ve finally gained control over the Capital, how can we let the Crown Prince in?"

"The situation in the Capital is complex; if anything happens after letting the Crown Prince in, what should we do?"

...

As Gongsun Ji spoke, others also joined in agreement.

Most of the people in the hall disagreed with the Prime Minister’s idea.

However, there were also some who agreed and stood up to speak for the Prime Minister.

"Everyone, the Prime Minister’s intention is not to let the tiger return to the mountain, but to close the door and beat the dog." Someone stood up and said.

"Close the door and beat the dog?"

The crowd was puzzled.

"Yes, exactly like that."

"The Crown Prince outside will create endless trouble for us; rather than that, we might as well let the Crown Prince return to the Capital."

"Anyway, the Capital is already under our control; even if he has heaven-defying skills, how could he escape from our grasp?"

"Letting him return has at least three benefits, and the advantages absolutely outweigh the disadvantages."

That person explained at length, detailing the benefits of letting the Crown Prince into the Capital.

Overall, the idea was that letting the Crown Prince return would not only silence public opinion but also fully control the realm.

It could solve many problems.

After hearing this explanation, the questioning voices in the hall immediately quieted significantly.

But there were still voices of doubt.

"But the Crown Prince’s return to the Capital this time is to treat Her Majesty, what if he..." Gongsun Ji said.

As soon as these words came out, the hall immediately fell silent.

Some people even became apprehensive.

They had been plotting so meticulously, only to forget that the Old Emperor was still lying in the back garden of the Imperial Palace.

The Old Emperor had ascended to the throne for decades, commanding respect throughout the realm.

They had long held a deep sense of reverence for him.

Now, plotting such things, upon hearing the words "Old Emperor," they naturally felt guilty and afraid.

Moreover, what if the Crown Prince actually managed to cure the Old Emperor?

What they were doing now would surely incur the Old Emperor’s thunderous wrath and a complete reckoning, wouldn’t it?

Just thinking about it was terrifying.

However, the Prime Minister remained composed, saying, "This issue is purely General Gongsun’s overthinking."

"Reverse meridian flow, General Gongsun thinks it’s so easy to cure?"

"If it could be cured, Majesty would have recovered long ago; why wait until now, with the condition worsening?"

"I dare to assert, unless an eighth-tier Alchemist personally comes, no one could cure the illness of the Emperor."

"General Gongsun, do you think the Crown Prince can bring an eighth-tier Alchemist?"

The Prime Minister’s words left Gongsun Ji speechless.

Reverse meridian flow is truly a particularly serious problem, one that ordinary people cannot cure.

It requires very special means.

Moreover, the eighth-tier Alchemist mentioned by the Prime Minister might not necessarily be able to cure it.

It’s not that the reverse meridian flow is so extraordinary, but because treating illness and Alchemy are completely different.

In the Mystic Realm, although Alchemy and healing are related, many illnesses have no connection to Alchemy.

Coincidentally, the Old Emperor’s reverse meridian flow has little to do with Alchemy.

It belongs more to physical ailments, requiring a healer with strong medical expertise.

And Chen Yang happens to be such a healer, which is why he is confident and decided to come to the Capital.

"Prince, since the Crown Prince chooses to enter the Capital in a high profile, we must respond accordingly, or else trouble arises easily."

After leaving Gongsun Ji speechless, the Prime Minister once again respectfully sought instructions from the Python King.

On the high platform, the Python King, clad in a yellow robe, exuded great authority.

After a moment of silence, he spoke again.

"Proceed according to the Prime Minister’s instructions, let the Crown Prince enter the Capital."

"Also, issue an edict in the name of the Emperor, forbidding troops to enter the Capital; only the Crown Prince may come alone, otherwise it will be considered rebellion."

The Python King slowly spoke, resting his hand on his forehead.

"Leave this matter to you, General Gongsun. You are fully responsible for the defense duties of the Capital."

"Yes, Prince!"

Gongsun Ji immediately accepted the orders and went to make arrangements.

Meanwhile, on the other side, after settling the border town, Prince Jingkang’s army advanced without hindrance.

Wherever they went, doors were opened to let them pass or they submitted to Jingkang.

With the support of numerous people, Jingkang’s confidence soared.

He felt that with Qin Qingfeng and the Qin Family members, he would definitely succeed in entering the Capital and changing fate.

To save the Old Emperor.

Prince Jingkang was full of ambition, yet failed to notice that there was something amiss along the way.

"It seems something is about to happen." Chen Yang, always following the army, keenly noticed some issues.

"What’s wrong, Chen Yang? Hasn’t this journey been smooth? In less than two hundred miles, we’ll reach the Capital’s territory." Tu Qi felt puzzled upon hearing Chen Yang’s voice.

"The problem is not that simple; no resistance along the way indicates something. This was deliberately orchestrated by the Python King; I fear there’s big trouble waiting for us ahead." Chen Yang speculated.

Tu Qi was startled, thought for a moment, and then slowly nodded, "Chen Yang, you make sense. Should we remind Prince Jingkang?"

"No need, with Village Chief Qin there, he can’t possibly lack this awareness." Chen Yang said.

Qin Qingfeng is not only powerful but also very strategic and alert.

This issue, he is certain to notice.

So he did not consider reminding Prince Jingkang.

"Indeed." Tu Qi agreed again, nodding; what Chen Yang said made a lot of sense.

The following journey remained unimpeded, encountering no resistance at all, and they directly entered the Capital’s territory.

After traveling a few dozen miles more, they saw an enormous city.

The city was so vast that even from afar, it seemed boundless.

Even a single parallel wall was difficult to discern a contour.

This grand city was the Capital of the Dajing Dynasty! The head.

Jing City.

As the Capital of a nation, the guards must be extremely strict; on every tower, a strong presence could be felt.

Some soldiers patrolling on the city walls did not have weak auras.
