I have 800,000 private soldiers. The emperor forces me to hand over military power?

"Chen Huaian, the crown prince of Jin Dynasty, and his family members: accept the order——"

The Great New Dynasty, the first year of Jian'an.

The palace of Prince Jin was completely deserted.

The sonorous and solemn voice of Sun Heling, the Minister of Rites of the Imperial Court, who delivered the decree, echoed at the Jin Prince's residence in Longcheng, an important town in the northwest.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Huaian, the crown prince of the Jin Dynasty, who was wearing linen and mourning clothes, and hundreds of people from all over the palace knelt down to receive the order.

"Following Heaven's destiny, the emperor issued an edict:"

"The King of Jin passed away, and the whole country mourns him. I express my deepest condolences;

Chen Polu, King of Jin, was the sworn brother of the late Emperor Zhenwu and the closest relative of the country;

During the lifetime of King Jin, he conquered Mobei five times, marched out of Qinchuan seven times, pacified the southern barbarians, and conquered the Xiongnu in the north. His military exploits and hard work were outstanding;

Since being granted the title, I have followed the law and abided by my duties, been loyal to the king above, and safe for the people below..."

As Sun Heling, the Minister of Rites, solemnly and solemnly read out the contents of the imperial edict, Chen Huaian's eyes became uncertain.

The past events emerge vividly, this is already the twenty-fourth year that Chen Huaian has traveled through time.

The Great New Dynasty he traveled through was not the new dynasty established by Wang Mang after usurping the Han Dynasty in history, nor did it even belong to any dynasty in the Twenty-Four Histories.

Strictly speaking, the Great New Dynasty can be regarded as another dimension that exists parallel to Chinese history.

The Daxin Dynasty was established by Zhao Mang, Emperor Zhenwu of Daxin, during the "Five Husties" period, just over thirty years ago.

The Daxin Dynasty was able to unify the world in troubled times, and the eight kings with different surnames under Zhenwu Emperor Zhao Mang were indispensable.

Among them, King Chen Polu of Jin (the first of the eight kings with different surnames and the only one with the same name as "king") has the most outstanding military exploits.

The Daxin Dynasty was able to conquer the Central Plains from a corner of the Hetao area to conquer the world, and Jin King Chen Polu made great achievements through hard work.

Chen Polu led his troops to conquer more than half of the dynasty's territory of more than 13 million square kilometers.

The 300,000 Polu troops under his command were the elite troops of the dynasty. They were famous and powerful in all directions.

During Emperor Zhenwu's reign, he also gave Chen Polu enough rewards to match his military exploits.

In addition to being awarded the title of King of Jin and ranking first among the eight kings with different surnames, things like "going to the palace with swords and shoes, not kneeling when going to court, iron coupons for elixirs, and gold medals for immunity from death" have also not fallen.

Even in his later years, Chen Polu was secretly given the "Golden Whip for Beating the King", which can be used to knock out kings and beat treacherous officials.

However, all this changed six months ago when Emperor Zhenwu Zhao Mang suddenly died during his southern tour and Prince Zhao Qianling succeeded to the throne.

Emperor Daxin II Jian'an Zhao Qian first confiscated two-thirds of the 300,000 Polu troops under Chen Polu on the grounds that "the war in Mobei resumed and the King of Jin was old".

Later, on the grounds of "consecrating Zen to worship heaven", Chen Polu took away all the Polu army's military power except for the eight thousand defenders of Longcheng, the fiefdom of the King of Jin.

Before that, Chen Huaian, a time traveler, had already smelled the danger. He reminded his father Chen Polu more than once that "the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked, and the bird is hidden behind the bow." This has always been the repertoire of emperors of all dynasties.

But when faced with the new emperor's seizure of power and his son's remonstrance, Jin King Chen Polu, who had been loyal and unyielding throughout his life, just said calmly: "How can a minister have two minds?"

Chen Polu even took the initiative to hand over the death-free gold medal given to him by the former emperor Zhao Mang when the new emperor Zhao Qian was enshrining him in Zen, which was an act of being a minister.

Unexpectedly, Chen Polu, who had already surrendered his military power and the alchemy certificate, suddenly suffered from gangrene on his way back to his fiefdom from the capital after participating in the ceremony held by the new emperor Zhao Qian, and died of it. Death.

When the news of his father's death came back to the Jin Palace, Chen Huaian was grieved and finally confirmed his previous speculation about "the rabbit dies and the dog cooks, and the bird disappears and the bow is hidden".

With the elimination of external hidden dangers and the establishment of the new dynasty, Zhao Qian, the new emperor of Jian'an, naturally no longer needs Chen Polu, a king with great achievements.

In particular, this king with a different surname has just passed his sixtieth birthday. Not only is he physically strong, but he is also full of energy.

Even Zhao Qian didn't need the title and fiefdom of King Jin!

Otherwise, how could he not issue an edict after the death of King Jin and before his burial.

To this day, the coffin of Prince Jin was buried in the mausoleum in the morning, and the emperor's imperial edict was delivered to Prince Jin's residence in the afternoon.

If Chen Huaian guessed correctly, Zhao Qian's imperial edict was not specially written to praise his father Chen Polu's life achievements, let alone to allow him, the eldest son of the Jin Dynasty, to inherit the title and fiefdom.

As expected, Sun Heling, the Minister of Rites, who was responsible for delivering the edict, praised Jin King Chen Polu eloquently according to the content of the edict, and then suddenly changed the topic and continued:

“Today, I have made a decision that the country will be peaceful and the people are safe, the troops will stop fighting, and the people will rest. I am determined to reduce armaments;

The King of Jin still has 8,000 Polu troops guarding Longcheng, and they will immediately be put under the control of the Northwest General, Huwei General Wu Qingyun..."

Buzz!

Hearing this, Chen Huaian's mind suddenly exploded.

The eight thousand Polu Army in Longcheng were not only the last support of Chen Huaian and hundreds of family members of the Jin Palace, but also the last bloodline of the Polu Army left to him by his father, Chen Polu.

In order to stop the war and rest with the people, even if the eight thousand Polu troops were disbanded and turned into civilians, it would be better than handing them over to the northwest general Wu Qingyun!

Looking at the entire Daxin Dynasty, who doesn't know that Wu Qingyun has been the sworn enemy of his father Chen Polu for decades.

How can these 8,000 Polu troops be brought to a happy end if they are left in his hands?

However, what caught Chen Huaian even more unprepared was yet to come.

Sun Heling, the Minister of Rites, continued to read out the imperial edict:

"The King of Jin has made great achievements throughout his life. To express my respect, I have decided to seal up the title of King Jin. No future kings can use the title of King Jin again, so as to highlight the achievements of King Jin in the country of the Great New Dynasty." A hundred generations, eternity;”

"Chen Huaian, the eldest son of the Jin Dynasty, was renamed King of Beihai and was given the fiefdom of Beihai. He immediately moved his family north!"

"Appreciate this——"

brush!

When Sun Heling, the Minister of War, read out the imperial edict, everyone in the Jin Palace who knelt down to receive the edict burst into mourning.

Jin Princess Xu Ruoyun and Chen Huaian's biological mother fainted on the spot because they could not bear the heavy blows one after another.

Chen Huaian's eyes were cold and stern, and his anger level was full.

Dog Emperor Zhao Qian, what a stratagem to kill people without blood. You don’t have to bear the infamy of the world by eradicating the roots. It is simply murderous and heart-wrenching!

To put it nicely, this is called pardoning the king of Beihai and granting him the fiefdom of Beihai. To put it more unpleasantly, it means being exiled and waiting to die!

The name of Beihai sounds nice, but in fact it is an extremely cold and barren land in the north, where bandits are rampant and barbarians are raging. This is where Su Wu was exiled to herd sheep.

From Longcheng to Beihai, thousands of miles apart, the journey was long and dangerous. How could the more than a thousand women, children, old and young people in the palace withstand such a torment without the escort of eight thousand Polu troops?

Seeing this scene, Sun Heling, the Minister of Rites who was responsible for delivering the decree, felt compassion and couldn't help but recall the kindness that King Chen Polu of Jin had shown him.

If it weren't for the secret help of the King of Jin, how could Sun Heling have become a respected official of the third rank of the imperial court today? He might have become an unknown and lonely soul in front of a mass grave outside Zhuxian Town.

No matter what, the emperor's order cannot be disobeyed.

Faced with the fatal chess game "gifted" to the widow of Prince Jin by the current emperor, he, a mere third-grade civil servant, had no good strategy to break the game.

"Your Highness, please accept the order!"

No matter how much he couldn't bear it, Sun Heling had no choice but to hand in front of Chen Huaian this imperial edict that determined the life and death of the Jin Prince's family members.

At this point, Chen Huaian had no choice.

For the sake of the livelihood of thousands of people in the palace, he could only bite the bullet and accept the order: "My lord, Chen Huaian, King of Beihai, accepts the order to thank you!"

Chen Huaian took the imperial edict, stood up and turned around to leave.

"stop!"

Suddenly, an arrogant shout came from behind.

Kick, Kick, Kick!

Accompanied by the crisp sound of the iron hooves of the war horse hitting the bluestone tiles, a general wearing armor and a sword on his waist rode forward with a pockmarked face with a somewhat gloating expression.

This man's name is Chang Chenghu, and he is the deputy general of the Northwest General Wu Qingyun.

Chang Chenghu rode a tall, snow-white horse, looked down at Chen Huaian, and roared arrogantly:

"Hey, King of the North Sea, here is the command talisman of the eight thousand Polu army in Dragon City. Why don't you hand it over to me right now!"

"snort!"

"I would kindly like to remind you that hiding military talismans secretly is a serious crime and treason, but the nine tribes will be killed!"

Hearing this, Chen Huaian turned around suddenly, and two cold rays of light shot out from his starry eyes on his stern face, stabbing straight at the deputy general Chang Chenghu who was riding on horseback.

In an instant, the aura was fully activated, and murderous intent suddenly emerged.

Chang Chenghu on horseback was frightened when Chen Huaian glared at him.

Even the war horse under his crotch seemed to smell the murderous aura in the air, and reflexively neighed and took a few steps back out of the animal's survival instinct.

Chen Huaian was about to speak, but a cold and strange mechanical synthesized sound suddenly sounded in his mind——

【Ding! 】

[The natural emperor life system is being activated...]

[System activation successful! 】

[Born Emperor Life System: Dear host Chen Huaian, the 800,000 soldier rewards issued by the system have been received, and the summoning function of historical legendary generals is to be unlocked! 】

As a large amount of information poured into his mind, Chen Huaian was first surprised, and then overjoyed. He couldn't help but raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and there was a hint of cunning that was not easily noticed in his murderous eyes.

After twenty-four years, Dad Tong, you are finally here! ! !
