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

The first year of Daxin Lingwu, October 16th.

Huairen Khan of the Uighur Khanate in the Western Regions issued a revolt against the rebels in Longcheng on the grounds that "Jin King Chen Huaian raised his troops to rebel, and it was unfaithful and unjust to kill the king and snatch relatives."

Then, the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions were united, and 300,000 troops were assembled to rebel against the coalition. The troops were directed at the western frontier army of Xin'an, which had led its troops to defect to King Chen Huai'an of the Jin Dynasty. They were located at Qiuci, Yanqi, Khotan, and Shule on the Silk Road of the Western Regions. Four towns.

The news that the Thirty-six Kingdoms in the Western Regions were revolting was only returned to the Jin Prince's residence in Longcheng in early November after many rounds of rumors.

At this time, Chen Huaian's head was also one big and two big.

It was not because of the Tubo invasion and the two kings proclaiming themselves emperors, nor was it because of the edict sent by the Queen Mother Su Waner who was far away in the imperial city of the capital, and the reply he made in Cao Mengde's tone, teasing the Queen Mother Su.

Instead, Wuning King Liu Xinwu has put his engagement with Princess Liu Shujun on the agenda.

According to Liu Xinwu's opinion, the 28th of the twelfth lunar month was a good day to get married, so he might as well settle the marriage between Chen Huaian and Liu Shujun before the year.

As a dowry, Liu Xinwu presented Chen Huai'an with a greeting card from the imperial guard of the Tiger Army of the Sixteenth Prefectures of Youyun, including Wuzhou, Xinzhou, Ruzhou, Shunzhou, Tanzhou, and Guizhou, and gave it to Chen Huai'an, the King of Jin ( Letter of nomination).

This dowry is quite generous!

However, for Chen Huaian, who has never been able to meet Liu Shujun so far, this arranged marriage makes him feel a little guilty.

I'm afraid that during the wedding night, when the bride's red hijab is lifted, she will see a face that will scare away millions of soldiers.

On this day, Chen Huaian was in the meeting hall of the palace, looking at the letter sent by Wuning King Liu Xinwu in a daze, wondering how to deal with the engagement with Princess Liu Shujun.

Just as he was thinking about it, the black-robed old monk Dongfang Xiao, the initiator of the proposal to enter into a marriage contract with Prince Wuning, walked into the meeting hall leisurely.

As soon as he entered the door, he stroked his gray beard on his chin and said with a smile: "Your Highness, this poor monk was surprised to hear the cry of magpies outside the house early this morning."

"Just a quick calculation, something happy will happen in the palace."

With that said, Dongfang Xiao came to Chen Huaian and congratulated him: "I am here, poor monk. First of all, I would like to congratulate His Royal Highness the King of Jin!"

hehe!

Facing Dongfang Xiao's congratulations, Chen Huaian put on a smile that was uglier than crying, and handed the letter from Wuning King Liu Xinwu to Dongfang Xiao's hand.

With a resentful look on his face, he teased: "Master, you really know things like a god!"

Seeing this, Dongfang Xiao ignored Chen Huaian's teasing words and directly picked up King Wu Ning's letter and read through it at a glance.

Hahaha!

The next moment, Dongfang Xiao suddenly laughed and said, "Your Highness, this is a great event!"

"With six of Youyun's sixteen states as dowry, I'm afraid only King Wu Ning in the world can show such sincerity in marrying a daughter, right?"

"Why are you so sad, Your Highness?"

After a pause, Dongfang Xiao continued: "In my humble opinion, once Your Highness marries Princess Shujun, within three months, all the sixteen states of Youyun will be under the command of King Jin."

"At that time, whether His Highness is enthroned and crowned, or becomes a prince with millions of troops, it will all be done according to His Highness's preferences."

"Could it be that after the death of the tyrant and when the young emperor ascended the throne, His Highness felt compassion and didn't want to wear the white hat that the poor monk promised to give to His Highness when he was on Fengming Mountain?"

"Eh--"

Chen Huaian let out a long sigh, and for a moment he didn't know how to speak.

However, the old monk Dongfang Xiao quickly guessed Chen Huaian's little thoughts and continued to say with a smile: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry. The poor monk had a relationship with Princess Shujun three years ago."

"Princess Shujun, who is twenty-eight years old, has a face as clear as jade, eyes as clear as water, and is extremely beautiful. She can definitely bear the title of princess."

"Now, Princess Shujun in her prime years is only worse than three years ago. Your Highness can relax and welcome Princess Shujun back to your house, haha!"

Ahem!

Chen Huaian's face turned red when his little thoughts were exposed, but he still asked shamelessly: "Master, are you serious about this?"

Dongfang Xiao laughed heartily: "Your Highness, monks don't lie!"

Chen Huaian suddenly became serious and said: "Master, actually you have misunderstood me. I am born face blind and cannot distinguish between beauty and ugliness."

"In fact, this important matter of marriage is no small matter. I have to think it over carefully, right?"

After speaking, the two looked at each other.

Then, they all smiled knowingly.

Hahaha!

In the palace of the royal palace, bursts of hearty and cheerful laughter could be heard.

The matter that had troubled Chen Huai'an for many days was solved.

Changshan County, Prince Wuning's Mansion.

Princess Liu Shujun closed the door of her boudoir tightly, buried her little head in the silk quilt, and muttered: "I won't listen, I won't listen!"

"Anyway, I just don't want to get married. I just want to stay in the palace and accompany my father for the rest of my life."

It turned out that when Wuning King Liu Xinwu tentatively mentioned her engagement with Chen Huaian in front of his daughter Liu Shujun, he was immediately strongly opposed by Liu Shujun.

Her impression of Chen Huaian was completely stuck in the description given by Mr. Pingshu in the "Biography of Jin King Chen Huaian", in which he said that Chen Huaian was a big roc bird with a green face and fangs that attracted wind ears.

Kong Wu is powerful, and he is not angry but has authority.

He also said that Chen Huaian was disloyal and unjust because of his evil spirit, which was the fate of the evil star. He raised his troops to rebel, kill the king and usurp the throne. He had seized the heavenly secret and was destined to destroy his wife and children.

Therefore, when her father, King Wuning Liu Xinwu, proposed a marriage between the Wuning Prince's Palace and the Jin Palace.

Liu Shujun, who had already had a bad impression of Chen Huaian, immediately rejected his father Liu Xinwu and locked himself in the boudoir to resist his parents' orders to find a matchmaker.

Outside the house, Liu Xinwu looked helpless and tried to persuade him earnestly: "Master Shu, listen to my father, this Jin King Chen Huaian is a thousand times, ten thousand times better than the old Huihe man that the dog emperor Zhao Qian wants you to marry!"

"Chen Huaian, in order to prevent you from marrying an old man from Huihe, he directly launched an army to kill the Dog Emperor Zhao Qian!"

"Chen Huai'an is a great favor to you and Prince Wuning's Mansion!"

Liu Xinwu continued with a smile on his face: "Master Shu, my father has taught you since you were a child that if you receive a drop of kindness from others, you should repay it with a spring of water. Our Prince Wuning's palace owes Chen Huaian such a great debt."

"Dad is old now and has nothing to offer, so I can only ask you to repay Chen Huaian with your life!"

"Listen to dad"

Liu Xinwu's beautiful words outside the house nearly praised Chen Huaian to the heavens.

However, Princess Liu Shujun inside the house remained indifferent.

In desperation, Liu Xinwu started to play the emotional card again and said: "Shujun, listen to my father, he is already half dead now, and he may not be able to breathe one day."

"After dad leaves, you are alone in this world. What should you do?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Shujun's voice suddenly came from the room: "Then you can't marry me to Chen Huaian, that ugly guy with green face, fangs and windy ears!"

"ah?"

Liu Xinwu looked confused.

Phew!

The next moment he reacted, he laughed heartlessly.

Then, he asked seductively: "Master Shu, who did you listen to that said that Chen Huaian is an ugly monster with green face, fangs and windy ears?"

Liu Shujun pouted and replied: "All the storytellers in the city said so, and they also said that Chen Huaian is the only star of the evil star, and he will be the master of his wife and children for the rest of his life!"

Hahaha!

Outside the house, Liu Xinwu couldn't help laughing loudly when he finally figured out the crux of his daughter's objection to the marriage.

Creak!

At this time, the two wooden doors of the princess's boudoir were pushed open from the inside, and a petite and charming face peeked out.

A pair of big watery eyes stared at King Wu Ning, and said angrily: "Dad, why are you laughing? Don't laugh!"

Hearing this, Liu Xinwu really stopped laughing.

Then, he said seriously: "Shujun, what do you think of this? Dad will take you to Dragon City personally. You first hide in the dark and observe Chen Huaian."

"If you're not satisfied, how about dad just showing off his old face and canceling this marriage to Prince Jin's Mansion for you?"

Liu Shujun asked in disbelief: "Dad, are you serious about this?"

Liu Xinwu nodded: "No joke!"
