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

The eldest prince, Chen Chuyan, is the first child of Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian and the founding queen of the Tang Dynasty, Liu Shujun. Although he is still young, he has a somewhat heroic spirit;

Chen Chuyan's appearance perfectly inherited the advantages of Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian and Queen Liu Shujun, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes and outstanding temperament;

In addition, he was raised as a prince and prince since childhood. He was not only proficient in literature and classics, but also good at horseback riding and archery;

At such a young age, he already has the demeanor of a king!

The second prince, Chen Chuqing, was the first child of Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian and the imperial concubine Yue Qiluo. He was also in elementary school, but was born only one hour later than the eldest prince Chen Chuqing;

In terms of appearance and temperament, he has the restraint of the Central Plains people and the roughness of the foreigners from the Western Regions. Especially the towering nose bridge makes Chen Chuqing's already handsome facial contour look more three-dimensional and fuller;

Since childhood, he studied literature and martial arts in the palace with his imperial brother Chen Chuyan, which allowed Chen Chuqing to develop good martial arts skills while reading poetry and books.

From this, it is not difficult to see that from the very beginning, Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian cultivated the two brothers Chen Chuyan and Chen Chuqing as princes and princes, and as talents to manage the world.

Of course, it has been a rule of the Central Plains dynasties for thousands of years that the prince, prince, and prince should be established as heirs.

Therefore, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty can only be the eldest son of the emperor, Chen Chuyan;

As for the arrangements for this son Chen Chuqing, Chen Huaian had made arrangements in advance as early as ten years ago in the first year of Zhaowu. That was to let Chen Chuqing inherit the title of his grandfather Yingwu Khan Moyanchu, and confer him as the Western King of the Tang Dynasty. Rule the Western Regions for the Tang Dynasty and guard one side.

Ten years ago, Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian personally conquered the Uighur Khanate in the Western Regions and defeated the Arab Empire's 800,000-strong army in the Eastern Expedition. After completely annexing the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, he began to implement the new policy of "separation of military and political affairs" in the Western Regions. Supported several political regimes in the Western Regions, and unified the Tang Dynasty to arrange military garrison;

The current layout of the Western Region is similar to the world that Chen Huaian lived in before he traveled, the institutional layout of the United States of America. Each state is relatively independent in terms of law, system, economy, and culture, and the military and diplomacy are unified by the Central Plains Dynasty;

After ten years of implementation and development of the New Deal, various systems in the Western Regions are now approaching perfection, and it is time for Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian to let go and let the princes go out for training;

In the next ten-year plan of Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian, the Western Regions were just a springboard for the second-in-command Chen Chuqing. His stage should be in the wider Africa and Europe to govern the vast lands conquered by the frontline soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. great country;

Next, just like the New Deal he implemented in the Western Regions, he turned the Arab Empire, the Byzantine Empire, and even the Charlemagne Empire in the occupied areas into places like the United States of America. Let your princes and grandsons go to these United States to defend the country and the people of the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains.

The book returns to its true story.

When the two princes in the Jinluan Palace paid their respects to Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian, they followed the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and stood in the Jinluan Palace waiting for the emperor's further orders.

Chen Huaian waved his hand and ordered to Cai He, the old eunuch who had been serving him for ten years: "Eunuch Cai, declare the decree!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Cai He, the eunuch and eunuch Bingbi, who was already in his sixtieth year, turned around and picked up the imperial edict that Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian had drafted long ago from the brocade plate held by the young eunuch. He read it out loud in front of the civil and military officials of the court:

"Following Heaven's destiny, the emperor's edict says:"

"Since I came to the throne, I have been working hard day and night, dedicated to the prosperity of the country and the well-being of the people. Today, among the royal family, the eldest son of the emperor, Chen Chuyan, has both good moral character and outstanding talents. He has won my heart and the hope of the government and the public. God's will belongs to the people's heart. "Xiang, it is appropriate to inherit the importance of the ancestral temple and continue the royal family;"

"In compliance with the ancestral system and in the ceremony, the eldest son of the emperor Chen Chuyan is specially canonized as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and he will be in the East Palace. I hope that he will inherit the throne, be diligent and studious, govern the world with benevolence and virtue, and control the country with talent and wisdom; the crown prince shall be Uphold the emperor's mighty grace, open up new avenues for talents, and take it as our own responsibility to stabilize the country;"

"From the date of the canonization, all civil and military officials and the people of the world should obey this edict and participate in the grand event together!"

"Announcement at home and abroad, the envoys will hear about it!"

"Appreciate this——"

"Your Majesty!"

All of a sudden, all the civil and military officials in the Jinluan Hall shouted in unison, "The Emperor is wise."

Chen Chuyan, who had just been canonized as the crown prince, subconsciously turned to look at his younger brother Chen Chuqing beside him;

Almost at the same time, the second prince Chen Chuqing also raised his head and cast his sincere blessings on his brother Chen Chuyan.

When their eyes met, both brothers smiled knowingly, saying nothing.

At this moment, as the matter of the canonization of the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty was settled, the conspiracy theory about the dispute between the crown prince and the prince that had been rumored for ten years was self-defeating.

After the crown prince was conferred, Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian, who was sitting on the dragon throne, continued: "My dear friends, now that the crown prince has been established, the world will return to its heart;"

"I have decided to take this opportunity to send the second prince Chu Qing to the Western Regions for some training, so that he can guard the borders for our Tang Dynasty!"

As he spoke, Chen Huaian waved his hand and said: "Eunuch Cai, declare the decree——"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Immediately, Cai He, the eunuch and the eunuch who held the pen, held up the imperial edict with both hands, spread it out and read it in a straight tone: "By Heaven's instructions, the emperor's edict says:"

"This is the second prince, Chen Chuqing..."

Under the gaze of all the civil and military officials, the old eunuch Cai He read out the imperial edict of Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian, regarding the second prince Chen Chuqing following the ancestral system and laws and inheriting the title of the Western King of the Great Tang Dynasty from his grandfather, the Yingwu Khan Moyanchuo.

After the ten years of hard work by Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian and the talent selection of the three imperial examination reforms, the court of the Great Tang Dynasty has already been purged of the old officials of the previous dynasty. The civil officials headed by Liu Huaiyi, the censor of the Supervisory Council, who were the diehards who opposed the prince's title of king, have already returned to their hometowns to cultivate themselves;

Therefore, Emperor Zhaowu's decision to follow the ancestral system and laws and let the second prince Chen Chuqing inherit the title of the Western King of the Great Tang Dynasty was not opposed by anyone;

On the contrary, a group of young officials believed that Emperor Zhaowu's title of king would benefit the country and the people without any harm.

Who made the Great Tang Dynasty so powerful now?

Shouldn't we let more princes go to the lands that the Tang Dynasty's iron cavalry has trodden on to defend the land and the people for the Tang Dynasty?

"From the day of the enthronement, all civil and military officials and the people of the world should obey this edict and join in the great cause!"

"Announce it to the whole country and abroad!"

"I decree this--"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

In the Jinluan Palace, as the eunuch holding the pen in the Silijian read out the contents of the imperial edict again, all civil and military officials once again shouted in unison that the emperor was wise.

The two brothers, Crown Prince Chen Chuyan and King Chen Chuqing of the West, once again looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
