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

Um?

After listening to Zhuge Yunsheng relaying Wuning King Liu Xinwu's request, Chen Huaian couldn't help but frown slightly.

He turned his head and glanced at Dongfang Xiao, who was sitting next to him. The black-robed old monk's half-closed eyes suddenly opened, and two rays of light burst out.

I thought the old monk knew something inside, but the latter just shook his head slightly at him.

Chen Huaian had no choice but to ask, "Zhuge Yunsheng, what on earth is going on?"

Zhuge Yunsheng looked up at Chen Huaian and said word by word: "Reporting to Your Highness, this is what happened..."

Later, Zhuge Yunsheng explained the cause and effect of this matter in a clear and logical manner.

It turns out that since he came to the throne, the second emperor Zhao Qian, who was very happy with his achievements, issued many political decrees in succession in order to make himself comparable to the political achievements of Emperor Qin and Han Wu.

One of them is the Silk Road.

The fate of Princess Liu Shujun, the only daughter of Wuning King Liu Xinwu, was closely linked to the Silk Road by an edict written by Zhao Qian.

During the Great New Period, among the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, the Uighurs were undoubtedly the most powerful and powerful.

In order to consolidate the influence of the Great New Dynasty in various countries in the Western Regions and to ensure the smooth flow of the Overland Silk Road, Zhao Qian could not avoid the Uighur Khanate.

At this time, the Uighur Khanate was afraid of the powerful national power and military force of the Daxin Dynasty, and also wanted to have good relations with Daxin.

As a result, Pei Luo, the powerful Huairen Khan of the Huihe Khanate, sent an envoy to the capital of Daxin to ask for his hand in marriage, and asked Emperor Zhao Qian to send the princess as his wife. The two parties concluded an alliance to jointly protect the Silk Road.

Zhao Qian didn't want to pay attention to this matter, but his beloved concubine Wen Renyu encouraged him to make Liu Shujun, the daughter of Wuning King Liu Xinwu, a princess and go to Huihe to get married.

The former demon concubine Wen Renyu had an old grudge with Wuning King Liu Xinwu.

Moreover, Liu Xinwu suffered from a hidden disease and was unable to have children, which was also a secret known to everyone in the Daxin court.

Therefore, when given the opportunity to take revenge on Liu Xinwu and separate him from his daughter Liu Shujun for the rest of his life, and never see each other again, Wen Renyu certainly refused to let it go.

Zhao Qian couldn't resist Wen Renyu's pillow talk, and Liu Xinwu, the king of Wuning in Changshan, was already a dispensable and marginal figure in the Great New Dynasty, so he simply satisfied the request of his beloved concubine Wen Renyu.

As a result, Zhao Qian issued an edict to the princess Liu Shujun, the only daughter of Wuning King Liu Xinwu, as Princess Anning, and ordered her to marry far away.

In the spring of next year, we will go to the Uighur Khanate, 6,800 miles away, to marry.

When the news came back to Prince Wuning's Mansion in Changshan County, both Liu Xinwu and his daughter Liu Shujun felt like they were struck by lightning.

Especially the princess Liu Shujun couldn't afford to get sick and became thinner day by day.

Wuning King Liu Xinwu saw this and felt pain in his heart.

Recalling what the second emperor Zhao Qian had done to the Wuning Palace since he ascended the throne, Liu Xinwu could no longer suppress his inner resistance.

As a father, he will never allow his only daughter, his only relative in the world, to become a victim of political transactions by those in power.

Not to mention that he would not watch helplessly as his daughter, who was in her prime, married a dying old man from Huihe.

Just as Liu Xinwu was plotting how to save his daughter Liu Shujun from dire straits.

The eldest son of the Jin Dynasty, Chen Huai'an, raised troops in Longcheng to quell Jingnan. The news that he had conquered Yunzhou and Shuobei and destroyed the Turks reached Liu Xinwu's ears.

From that moment on, Liu Xinwu had some concerns in his mind.

At this time, the news of Chen Huaian's revolt against Jingnan spread back to the court and reached the ears of Emperor Zhao Qian, so King Wuning sent a special envoy to rebel against the Jin Palace and secretly report to the emperor for his personal expedition.

Finally, Zhuge Yunsheng said: "Your Highness, in the entire Great New Dynasty, only Your Highness has the ability to save the life of my princess in dire straits!"

"Your Highness, my prince has said that if your highness can lend a helping hand this time, and if your highness is of any use to Prince Wuning's palace in the future, my prince will definitely go through fire and water, without any hesitation!"

"Your Highness, please grant me your permission!"

After saying that, Zhuge Yunsheng raised his head and knelt down straight.

Sitting at the head of the palace's meeting hall, Chen Huaian looked at Zhuge Yunsheng kneeling in front of him and did not answer on the spot.

The old monk Dongfang Xiao on the side also used his eyes to signal him to calm down and discuss the matter later.

The next moment, Chen Huaian said: "Zhuge Yunsheng, get up first!"

Hearing this, Zhuge Yunsheng stood up as expected, but still looked at Chen Huaian with pleading eyes.

Chen Huaian said again: "Zhuge Yunsheng, you have come all the way from Changshan County, and you must have been exhausted all the way!"

"I now know everything that King Wu Ning entrusted you to tell me and what you asked for!"

After a pause, he continued: "This move is of great importance, and I need to think carefully before I can make an answer!"

"Let's do this, you stay in the palace first, and I will summon you after I make a decision!"

After saying that, Chen Huaian waved his hand and shouted outside the house: "Here, bring Mr. Zhuge from Wuning Prince's Mansion down and serve him well!"

Seeing this, Zhuge Yunsheng said nothing more, held his fists in front of Chen Huaian and bowed, saying: "Thank you, Your Highness, King Jin!"

Soon, the servants of the palace took Zhuge Yunsheng down.

Dongfang Xiao, who had been silent until this moment, laughed heartily and said: "Haha, congratulations to King Jin, congratulations to King Jin!"

Chen Huaian raised his eyebrows and asked knowingly: "Master, why are you so happy?"

Ha ha!

Dongfang Xiao smiled and said: "Your Highness, just now you jokingly called the poor monk your Highness's mentor, and now you are pretending to be confused with your mentor while pretending to understand?"

"This King of Wuning, Liu Xinwu, is not only one of the eight kings with different surnames in this dynasty, but also a noble family from the land of Yan and Zhao in the previous dynasty. The late Emperor Zhao Mang was able to calmly regain the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun. This King of Wuning is a credit It’s a must!”

After a pause, Dongfang Xiao continued: "Although King Liu Xinwu of Wuning has been deprived of his military power by the current emperor, his prestige and influence in the land of Yanzhao are still there, and more than half of the sixteen states of Youyun still have power. All the garrison generals have a close personal relationship with him!”

"More importantly, King Wu Ning only has one daughter, Princess Liu Shujun!"

"so--"

Hahaha!

Having said this, Dongfang Xiao burst into hearty laughter again.

Seeing the old monk so happy, Chen Huaian couldn't help but laugh.

He smiled and said: "Then according to what the master said, what should we do about this matter?"

Dongfang Xiaodao: "Marry the princess and go straight to Youyun!"
