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

After hearing what Zhuge Yunsheng said, Wuning King Liu Xinwu frowned slightly and remained silent for a long time.

For a moment, he was a little unsure that the black-robed old monk Dongfang Xiao had deliberately proposed to the palace steward Zhuge Yunsheng about entering into a marriage contract with the Wuning Palace before leaving.

Was it the instruction of Jin Wang Chen Huaian, or was it the restless old monk who made his own decisions?

But there is one thing that Liu Xinwu knows very well.

That is, the reason why Chen Huaian was able to agree to his request must be because he still has influence and power in the Sixteenth Youyun Prefecture, well, now it should be the fifteenth Youyun Prefecture except Yunzhou.

The next day, Chen Huaian's Longcheng Jingnan Army continued to conquer the south, and Youyun Sixteen Prefectures were the first to bear the brunt.

If he can capture the Sixteenth Province of Youyun, it means that Chen Huaian will own half of the Great New Dynasty and have the ability to rule across the river from the imperial court.

Next, whether it is war or peace, the initiative will be firmly in Chen Huaian's hands.

This little brat looks harmless and gentle, but in terms of scheming and skill, he is much better than his father Chen Polu!

In Liu Xinwu's mind, he recalled for no reason the scenes of his only few encounters with Chen Huaian in the capital court.

To be fair, his impression of Chen Huaian was pretty good. He was a gentle, courteous and handsome young man.

Although, in the new dynasty where martial arts was the most important thing, Chen Huaian, the eldest son of the Jin Dynasty, had not achieved any fame on horseback.

He is the "trash" described by the generals in the court as the son of a tiger and a dog, and "Bima Wen" who is in charge of the logistics and food supplies of the Polu army.

However, only Liu Xinwu, who was also a king with a different surname, knew that it was much harder to take charge of the military and political affairs of a fiefdom and be responsible for 300,000 robbing troops than to knock off the enemy general on horseback.

Chen Huaian, the useless prince in the eyes of the world, is not useless at all. It would be more appropriate to say that he is as wise as a fool and as humble as a grain.

Sure enough, when the king of Jin passed away, the emperor seized power, and the crown prince changed his title, the chess game was destined to die.

Chen Huaian, the good-for-nothing prince in the eyes of everyone, intervened in the situation and launched an army in Longcheng to quell Jingnan under the banner of "cleaning the emperor's side and eliminating traitors";

In just two months, two important military towns, Yunzhou and Shuobei, were captured one after another, and 300,000 Yunhui troops were completely wiped out;

They even went on a lone expedition to the north, going deep into Mobei to attack the Turks, and went straight to the royal court, forcing the remaining Turks to flee to the south of the desert.

Each of these, each one, is not a shocking feat?

You must know that Chen Huaian is only twenty-four years old and has already achieved this feat.

In time, the trapped dragon ascends to heaven, is this even possible?

At this time, the old monk Dongfang Xiao proposed to enter into a marriage contract with the Wuning Prince's Palace. It seemed that he was taking advantage of others' danger, but it was actually a righteous act to help others in need.

If the Wuning Palace and the Jin Palace form a marriage relationship, after Chen Huaian takes over the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun in the future, whether he divides the river with the imperial court to rule, or continues to go south to unify the country, the Wuning Palace will be the absolute beneficiary.

For him, Liu Xinwu, the identity of the father-in-law of the future founding emperor was much more real and reliable than the title of a king with a different surname.

Besides, what the old monk Dongfang Xiao said makes sense.

When he finally passes away a hundred years later, his daughter really needs to entrust the rest of her life to someone worthy of her trust.

From the current point of view, looking at the entire New Dynasty, no one is more suitable than Jin Wang Chen Huaian.

This little brat is not only very scheming, he is also the best among men.

He is a handsome young man with a first-class appearance and temperament. He is a good match for his daughter. Shujun marries him, so he is a good match.

However, once the two families get married, the future fate of the Wuning Palace will be completely tied to Jin Wang Chen Huaian.

When one is prosperous, both are prosperous; when one is lost, both are harmed.

After thinking again and again, Liu Xinwu finally decided to bet on Jin Wang Chen Huaian.

At this point, we must also show the courage and courage to "dare to take down the emperor even if he is willing to be killed".

"Your Majesty——"

At this time, I saw that my prince remained silent, his face sometimes gloomy, sometimes with a silly smile.

Zhuge Yunsheng, the steward of the palace, couldn't help but expressed concern: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"

Um?

Liu Xinwu finally came to his senses and ordered Zhuge Yunsheng:

"Yunsheng, I already know the matter. You have worked hard on the journey. Go down and rest first!"

Hearing this, Zhuge Yunsheng wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. He just saluted Liu Xinwu and then turned around and left.

"Yunsheng, wait!"

Suddenly, Liu Xinwu stopped Zhuge Yunsheng who was about to leave again, lowered his voice and ordered to the latter:

"By the way, please go down on my behalf and give me the carts of chickens, ducks, and geese that I brought back to the palace today to keep in the backyard!"

"In addition, the king asked you last time to find an honest and reliable blacksmith to work in the palace. It is also on the agenda. The sound of the chickens, ducks and geese in the backyard can just cover up the sound of the blacksmith striking iron."

"Do you understand?"

Zhuge Yunsheng nodded, bowed and said: "Please don't worry, Your Majesty, I will go and do it right now!"

Liu Xinwu waved his hand and said: "Go!"

Soon, Zhuge Yunsheng left in a hurry.

Liu Xinwu followed closely behind, left the study and walked to his daughter Liu Shujun's boudoir.

The boudoir of Princess Liu Shujun occupies the best courtyard in the entire palace, with gurgling water, numerous rockeries, and the chirping of insects and birds from time to time, adding a quiet charm to the courtyard.

Liu Xinwu came with dragon and tiger steps. He did not see his daughter Shujun, but first heard the bleak sound of the guzheng.

When I got closer, I saw that it was Princess Liu Shujun who was playing the guzheng in the courtyard, playing "Guangling San", one of the top ten guzheng pieces.

Liu Shujun's slender jade fingers flew on the strings of the guzheng, expressing his full resentment through the sound of the piano. The music was full of indignation and unyielding awe-inspiring sounds.

Liu Shujun, the princess of Wuning Palace, who was in her prime of life, was originally a proud daughter of heaven who was favored by thousands of people.

However, the current emperor Zhao Qian issued an edict, asking her to go to the Uighur Khanate 6,800 miles away to marry a dying old man from a foreign country. How could she accept this?

From the moment the emperor named her Princess An Ning and ordered her to go to Huihe in the coming spring to get married, the imperial edict was sent to Prince Wuning's Mansion in Changshan County.

Princess Liu Shujun, who used to be lively and cheerful in the past, became depressed and taciturn. She stayed with the harp all day long and expressed her dissatisfaction with the sound of the harp.

The face that was originally as bright as jade and eyes as clear as water was also filled with sadness and sadness.

When the song ended, Liu Shujun felt lost, and his brows were full of melancholy.

"Shujun——"

Until then, Wuning King Liu Xinwu, who had been outside the courtyard gate for a long time, came in a hurry with a smile on his face. While greeting his daughter, he waved to signal all the palace maids in the courtyard to leave.

"You all, please step back!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After the maid retreated, Liu Shujun stood up and said hello to Liu Xinwu: "Dad, you are here!"

Seeing the melancholy and sad look on his daughter's face, the father sees it and feels pain in his heart!

Liu Xinwu thought for a moment and decided to test his daughter's tone first.

He asked tentatively: "Shujun, dad has been busy helping you find out how to avoid the Huihe marriage."

"Now, this matter has some clues!"

Um?

Hearing this, Liu Shujun stretched his eyebrows and asked with a look of surprise and disbelief: "Dad, is it true? I really don't need to go back to Hehe for a kiss?"

Liu Xinwu nodded heavily.

"Wow, that's great!"

After receiving his father's affirmative reply, the sadness and gloom on Liu Shujun's face was wiped away, and he was even so happy that he spun around in circles, and his silver bell-like laughter resounded throughout the palace.

For a long time, Liu Shujun, still unable to conceal his excitement, confirmed to Liu Xinwu again: "Dad, didn't you lie to me?"

Liu Xinwu nodded again and said firmly: "Of course, dad has lied to you before."

Liu Shujun was overjoyed and said: "Dad, you are so good, hehe!"

After saying that, Liu Shujun walked back and forth in the courtyard with light steps, and said to himself with a smile: "That's great, I don't have to go to get married. From now on, I will stay with my father in Wuning Prince's Mansion, no matter where he is." Go, hee hee!”

On the side, Wuning King Liu Xinwu looked at his daughter, returning to his usual lively and cheerful appearance, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.

The words of temptation came to my lips, but I could never say them out.

Forget it, I'll talk to my daughter when I have time later. Anyway, this matter can't be rushed for a while.

The most urgent task is to find a way to help Chen Huaian get through the personal conquest of Emperor Zhao Qian!

Liu Xinwu thought like this.
