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

The first year of Jian'an, September 18th.

Under the command of King Chen Huaian of the Jin Dynasty, Huo Qubing, the leading general of the Longcheng Northern Expedition, led 10,000 tiger and leopard cavalry out of Mobei to attack the Turks in the north.

At the foot of Shifeng Mountain, they attacked the Turkic royal court at night, beheaded and captured more than 22,800 people.

Among them, 13 people including Timur, the Great Khan of the Turkic Empire, and leaders (deputy leaders) of various Turkic tribes were killed, and more than 30 people including the military advisor of the Turkic Prime Minister, Kurlie, generals, and householders were captured.

In addition, we successfully rescued more than 29,000 men and women at the Shuobei Border Pass who were plundered by the Turks.

After this battle, the main Turkic forces were defeated by the Jin King Chen Huaian, and the Longcheng Northern Expedition army swept across Mobei. The empire fell apart, and the remaining troops fled far away. There was no longer a royal court in Mobei.

King Chen Huaian of the Jin Dynasty raised troops from Longcheng, and Fengtian Jingnan was unable to come. He destroyed the Turks in the north and captured Yunzhou in the south. His power was unstoppable.

In just two months, they successively annihilated the captured Yunhui army of the New Dynasty, as well as more than 400,000 Turkic soldiers and horses, and actually controlled the northwest region of the New Dynasty, three military towns and 98 counties.

Such a sensational and shocking event occurred in the northwest of the dynasty. Even if the traitor Qin Ruhui wanted to conceal it, he could not hide it!

In fact, when the news that the Northwest General Wu Qingyun was defeated in Yunzhou and died on the battlefield came back to the Prime Minister's Office in the capital, Qin Ruhui was already preparing for relevant matters.

Then, when the news of the Turks' annihilation of the country came back, Qin Ruhui became even more confident.

This means that in the past ten years, he secretly instigated Wu Qingyun to eat empty wages, drink soldiers' blood, and secretly collaborate with Turks to make music, all of which were completely covered up with the deaths of Wu Qingyun and Timur one after another. In the long flow of history.

In addition, in recent times, Qin Ruhui has spent a lot of money to establish contact with the trusted eunuchs around the harem concubine Wen Renyu.

He dedicated the rare treasures he had collected over the years, such as the Luminous Pearl, the Nine Phoenix Crown, the Jade Lotus, and the Nine Exquisite White Jade Pagoda, to Concubine Yu, and asked her to blow the pillow breeze in the ears of Emperor Zhao Qian, showing that Prime Minister Qin worked hard and dedicated his life to the country. , The merits of hard work in Sheji are high.

Qin Ruhui was confident that with this set of operations, he should be able to keep the black gauze hat on his head.

Therefore, he decided to confess everything to Emperor Zhao Qian when the court meeting begins tomorrow, and let Zhao Qian make his own decision.

The next day.

Daxin Chaotang, Jinluan Hall.

Prime Minister Qin Ruhui and the civil and military officials of the court had been waiting for a long time. The current emperor Zhao Qian, who looked tired, arrived belatedly with his rosy-faced and charming concubine Wen Renyu.

As soon as Zhao Qiang sat down on the dragon chair, he yawned and said: "My beloved sirs, if you have something to do, please leave the court if you have nothing to do!"

Next to him, the naturally charming demon concubine Wen Renyu nestled on Zhao Qian's chest obediently and quietly, winking at Qin Ruhui with a pair of charming eyes.

The latter understood the idea and immediately stood up and stepped forward, saying: "Your Majesty, the border crossing 800 miles away was urgent last night. Mobei was victorious and the Turkic country was destroyed!"

"The great Turkic Khan Temur and all the tribal leaders (deputy leaders) were all executed. The remaining ones fled far to the south of the desert, but there is no more royal court in the north of the desert!"

hiss!

As soon as Prime Minister Qin Ruhui said these words, everyone in the Jinluan Palace was shocked!

Only Shen Guangming, the Minister of War, who knew the truth, and Sun Heling, the Minister of Rites and Imperial Envoy who had gone through all kinds of hardships and returned from Longcheng, looked as usual.

Soon, Qin Ruhui’s party members in the DPRK stood up, bowed their hands, and congratulated Emperor Zhao Qian: “Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty!”

"Turkic barbarians, entrenched in Mobei, often go south to plunder our border residents, harass our borders, rob supplies, and kill innocent people indiscriminately. They are actually a serious problem at the northwest border of the dynasty."

"When the late emperor was in power, he ordered Jin King Chen Polu to conquer Mobei five times and attack the Turks in the north, but to no avail!"

"Now, less than a year after His Majesty succeeded to the throne, our border master of the Great New Dynasty has swept away the Mobei, swept through the Turks, and completely eliminated the banditry in the northwest border. This is another feat that will benefit the present and the future!"

As he said this, Qin Ruhui's henchman knelt down in front of the court, bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, and said loudly:

"In ancient times, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attacked the Xiongnu from the north and created a prosperous era of Han Dynasty; now, in September of the first year of Jian'an, the Holy Sage destroyed the Turks, and his achievements were comparable to that of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty."

"Wei Chen believes that the prosperous era of Jian'an is just around the corner!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

After saying this, the official shouted long live in court.

Seeing this scene, the other officials in the court also kowtowed and shouted long live!

Hahaha!

On the dragon throne, Emperor Zhao Qian was in a good mood and laughed loudly.

The face that looked like he was overindulging himself was filled with a look of satisfaction.

When he got up, he pushed away his favorite concubine Wen Renyu who was nestling in his arms. He stood up and walked around the Jinluan Palace. He placed one hand on his waist and shouted domineeringly: "I will work hard and work hard throughout my life!"

"Opening the canal, sailing to Southeast Asia, connecting the Silk Road, and destroying the Turks, which one is not a feat that will benefit the present and will benefit the future?"

"I recall that when I first ascended the throne, the old ministers and elders of the previous dynasty in the court were constantly questioning me, obstructing my policy agenda in every possible way, and criticizing the loyal ministers and generals I promoted——"

At this point, Zhao Qian changed the subject, his tone suddenly became sharp, and he continued:

"Now, I want to make these old ministers and elders of the former dynasty open their eyes and take a good look at whether I am the ignorant king who died in the second generation, or the emperor who created a prosperous age through the ages!"

"Your Majesty!"

For a time, all civil and military officials in the dynasty knelt down and shouted, "The Emperor is wise."

Only Sun Heling, the Minister of Rites, could only drift with the crowd in the court, but his face always remained sober and rational.

Hidden in the cuffs of his official robes, he also held tightly to the "Essay on Fengtian Jingnan and Quest for Rebellion" written by King Chen Huaian of the Jin Dynasty, as well as the evidence of the secret conspiracy between Wu Qingyun, the commander-in-chief of the northwest, and Timur, the Turkic Khan. In hand, waiting for a suitable opportunity to present it to the current emperor.

At this moment, the second emperor Zhao Qian in the Jinluan Palace was in high spirits and high spirits, and he immediately decided to reward the three armies.

Zhao Qiandao: "Prime Minister of Qin, please prepare an imperial edict for me to reward the defenders of the northern border of Shuo. All the soldiers who participated in the northern attack on the Turks will be given three months' salary to encourage them, and the commanders of hundreds and thousands of households will be promoted on the spot." Level 1;”

"As for the generals above the general level, please draw up a list and submit it to the Ministry of War. Based on their merits in battle, they will be granted titles and titles as appropriate!"

"Your Majesty, you can't do this!"

At this moment, an inappropriate voice sounded from above the court.

Then, Sun Heling, the Minister of Rites, stood up without fear and faced Zhao Qian, the emperor of the dynasty, amid the astonished eyes of the civil and military officials.

After performing the kneeling ceremony, Sun Heling said firmly with a firm look on his face: "Your Majesty, I have the courage to advise you, the emperor, to temporarily grant the seal to the soldiers at the northwest border!"

"Um?"

In the Jinluan Palace, Zhao Qian's face darkened and he was not angry.

Obviously, he didn't want to hear such opposition on this occasion of Long Yan's joy.

But when he recognized the person who was admonishing him in the court, he still suppressed his displeasure and asked why.

Zhao Gan said: "Hey, isn't this Sun Aiqing? When did you return to the capital from Longcheng?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Qian suddenly remembered something and continued to ask:

"By the way, Sun Aiqing, you just came back from Dragon City. Chen Huaian, the eldest son of the Jin Dynasty, raised his troops against the imperial court and killed Wu Fengxian, the major general of Yunhui Army. How far has it progressed now?"

Sun Heling replied: "Reporting to the Emperor, this matter is a long story. I hope the Emperor will allow me to tell you in detail."

"That's right!"

Zhao Qian nodded and immediately expressed his approval.

After receiving the emperor's approval, Sun Heling slowly stood up from the ground and recited a poem in front of the civil and military officials of the court:

“The villages are desolate and plagued by drought and locusts every year;”

"The old man pays the debt, the young man sells the grain;"

"The wall broke in the house, and Liang Yueyue fell into bed;"

"Who would have thought that herdsmen would not report disasters?"

brush!

As soon as Sun Heling said these words, all the civil and military officials in the Daxin Chao Hall were shocked.

Especially Qin Ruhui, who was the prime minister, his cunning and cunning face was furrowed with brows, and his eyes were fiercely gouging at Sun Heling, wishing to cut out two ounces of flesh from his body.

Sun Heling, a pedantic and stubborn old Confucian scholar, was clearly making insinuations. No, this was directly asking the emperor to read his own book, the prime minister of the dynasty!

Why does an old Confucian scholar use a sword to kill someone? His words can cost his life!
