The Summoning World of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 1408
The military newspaper was sent to Yingdu, the capital of the state of Chu, at the first time. Xiang Yu read it all in one go. He was astonished that Han Xin could turn defeat into victory in a little attack, and Li Shimin who beat him directly abandoned Nanguang and fled!
"This is really a good general of the country!" Xiang Yu praised: "Han Xin has the ability to command the army, so I will directly designate him as the commander-in-chief of the army!"

Wu Rui has five sons in total. The eldest son, Wu Chen, is also a general of the Chu State. When he came to the court in the morning, he only found out that his father had died in battle. , suddenly one of the dissatisfied, handed out and said:

"Your Majesty, I have my own performance!"

Xiang Yu didn't take the matter of Wu Rui's death in his heart at all. Seeing Wu Rui's son stand up to speak at this time, he remembered this matter, and couldn't help but look sad, and said:
"Don't worry too much about the Qing family. I am also deeply saddened by the death of the old general Wu in the battle. I ordered Wu Rui to be named Wu Chengjun immediately, bestowed the posthumous title of Zhong, transported the body back from Nanguang, and buried it with princely etiquette. !"

Wu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then saluted with tears: "I thank Your Majesty for your late father, but I still have something to say."

Xiang Yu was somewhat displeased, he was just a minister, he should be buried with a princely gift, this Wu Chen is still so ignorant, but he just thought that Wu Rui was really loyal to the state of Chu, and he couldn't just because he was gone, To be strict with his son is to be too unreasonable, so he can't help but nod his head and say:

"Aiqing just say it, as long as you can promise, I will promise you."

Wu Chen bowed his head and bowed again: "Qi Zou the emperor, I really feel that our army won this time because the soldiers of the three armies fought the enemy bravely, and it has nothing to do with Han Xin himself; as a minister, everyone knows, Han Xin At the beginning, this man had 30 troops guarding Suiyang City, and within half a month, he was completely defeated. What can this man do? It's just that the emperor took pity on him, so he became a military general in our country. I feel that the emperor has been deceived by this thief at this time!"

"The general's words are too much!" An old voice echoed in the court, and it was Xiao He who bowed his hands and came out, sternly said: "Your Majesty, I think Wu Chen's words should be punished! Weak soldiers turn defeat into victory, even if they are generously rewarded, it is not an exaggeration; but Wu Chen maliciously slanders, he is not a son of man!"

"My minister!" Bai Juyi cupped his hands and went out. Although he didn't have much contact with Han Xin, he really couldn't see Wu Chen's face.

Wu Chen said angrily: "I said such a thing, of course it is well-founded, so how can it be called slander?"

Xiao He laughed angrily: "Then tell me, how do you make sense?"

"Now, my late father was the marshal of the army, and he was personally appointed by His Majesty the Emperor. But ministers, don't forget that Han Xin is the deputy marshal. My father is dead. He alone has the final say on the Southern Expedition Army?" The military officer cupped his hands towards Xiang Yu and said, "I once heard that Han Xin himself was a subject of Liu Bei, the former king of Cai, but in the end he called himself the king of Jiujiang. He has already forgotten his original master! Your majesty must guard against it!"

Xiang Yu's complexion changed slightly, and there was a burst of hissing in the court; these words were simply going to put Han Xin to death.

It is simply saying that Han Xin is not safe in a disguised form. If you, the emperor, hand over the power of marshal commanding the army to Han Xin, then you will have a King Cai under the city, and this Han Xin will become the King of Jiujiang again.

Suspicion is the most important thing in the emperor's heart, no matter how wise the emperor is, even if the current Xiang Yu is Xiang Yu who has integrated Liu Yuying's soul, he is no longer the benevolent and indecisive Xiang Yu who was a woman back then, but he still has suspicions .

For a moment, all the princes and ministers in the court and the opposition stopped breathing because of this sentence.

"Haha..." I never thought that Xiao He looked up to the sky and laughed, walked forward a few steps, and bowed to Xiangyu: "Your Majesty clearly learned that I was a minister of the former Han Dynasty before, so it doesn't mean that I was an official in the court, but Is it also suspected of overthrowing the Great Chu Dynasty and restoring the Han Dynasty?"

After all, Xiao He looked at Wu Chen with contempt: "The former first emperor of Qin, Yingzheng, was jealous of the talents from the six eastern countries, so he had an order to expel all the people who were not native of Qin, regardless of their knowledge and ability; Li Siyou, the former Prime Minister of the Qin Kingdom, presented the letter of remonstrance and expulsion order to the Emperor of Qin, and this is how the Qin Kingdom became so powerful that it swept the six eastern countries back then. What you said, Wu Chen, is not to punish your heart, but to harm the country!"

"Your father was defeated, the emperor did not pursue it, and His Majesty is kind. Not only did he not pursue responsibility, but he tolerated you barking in the court! It's not that His Majesty is incompetent, but that His Majesty has the demeanor of a sage, and he is not as knowledgeable as you! He gave birth to you The villain does not know it, is arrogant, rude, and self-respecting. This is to cut off the great generals of our Great Chu Kingdom who dominate the world! Make His Majesty a fool! But he still thinks he is loyal, I am! I have seen countless people in my life, it is really I have never seen such a shameless person!"

"You! You! You!" In terms of eloquence, none of the ten Wu officials could match Xiao He.

Xiao He sneered and said, "Wu Chen, just think about it, if General Han Xin hadn't turned the tide and saved the building from collapsing, our South Route Army would be defeated, what would be the consequences?"

"Me! Me! Me!" Wu Chen was so nervous that he was going to die, Xiao He put so many big hats on his head in a row, how could he speak?

Chen Ping stood up at this time, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the Wu family is naturally loyal to His Majesty. General Wu Chen is probably losing his composure because Old Marshal Wu died in battle. Please also, Your Majesty." Think about the hard work of old General Wu, forgive him."

This is a red face and a bad face.

Xiao He also knew that he should not offend these old nobles and ministers of the Chu Kingdom to death, so he cupped his hands generously and said: "The minister was furious for a while, and I made some slips of the tongue, please forgive me!"

Xiang Yu coughed and waved his hand to signal the pale-faced Wu Chen not to be too nervous. As the emperor himself, he still takes the Wu family's contribution to the empire seriously.

As a veteran minister, Wu Rui had followed Xiang Bo and Xiang Yu since the time when Xiang Bo and Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew started to fight. Naturally, Xiang Yu didn't care about Wu Rui's words.

"The Wu family is loyal to our Great Chu Kingdom. From today onwards, Wu Chen will take over the post of Marshal Wu Rui, and he will also be among the top generals of our Great Chu Kingdom."

No matter how ignorant Wu Chen was, he wouldn't say anything more, he just bowed his hands and thanked him!

"I would like to thank His Majesty the Emperor for his grace! In the future, I will be loyal to my family and fight for the country."

The nobles and ministers of other countries who settled in Chu State, as well as the original ministers of Chu State, couldn't help looking at Xiao He, this old man with white beard and hair, it turned out that he could still radiate his own light and heat.
