Chapter 166 The Emperor Prepares to Take Action
Jiang Chen looked at Du Meng and Wang Zhongqing.
Then, he took the two of them into the study.
"Sir, you are now the Marquis of Jiyuan."
"According to the rules of Xia State, you can form an army of 800 people."
"But you are also the Minister of War."
"It would be helpful if you could raise more troops."
"It's still a good thing for the prince!"
Wang Zhongqing, known as a "wise general", looked at Jiang Chen and said lightly.
"Yeah, not bad."
"But I still haven't thought it through."
"In the final analysis, the Xia Kingdom is going to be in chaos."
"Even if I have one thousand or two thousand people, what does it matter?"
Come to think of it, just as Jiang Chen said.
The four great vassal kings of the Xia Kingdom each hold over ten thousand military powers in their hands.
Even the weakest and most incompetent Prince Huai'an and the Regent.
Each of these two men has 30,000 soldiers from Jiangnan County under his command.
He even had elite soldiers like the Huai'an Guard at his disposal.
A garrison commanding a total of 50,000 troops near the imperial capital.
Even the Royal Guards and the Imperial Guards were partially controlled by the Regent.
If the fake emperor passed away by then, what would Jiang Chen use to fight against the regent?!
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen suddenly felt helpless.
He seems to be in a very glorious position now, and he is the only person that fake emperor relies on.
But when he really wanted to go against the Regent.
He realized that even though he already had considerable strength now.
But when facing the regent who had worked hard for decades.
These so-called great strengths of his were simply vulnerable!
"Your Excellency does not need to worry so much, even if the Regent seizes the throne."
"It will definitely cause dissatisfaction among Prince An and Prince Jin!"
"Then the regent will only be busy dealing with these two princes."
Seeing that Jiang Chen was a little worried, Wang Zhongqing stepped forward to persuade him.
"Oh, forget it, let's not worry about these things."
"General Wang, General Du, I have decided to form an elite force of 800 men first."
"Everyone is ready."
"Weapons and food supplies will also be obtained in the shortest possible time."
Under Wang Zhongqing's persuasion, Jiang Chen also returned to China.
Instead of constantly worrying about the future, it is better to grasp the present.
"Don't worry, sir. I and Du Meng are here."
"Within three months, I will give you an army with extraordinary combat power!"
Hearing that Jiang Chen had made up his mind, Wang Zhongqing smiled and bowed to Jiang Chen.
Then, Wang Zhongqing and Du Meng left the Jiyuan Marquis Mansion together.
Led by a Jinyiwei, they quickly arrived at Jiang Chen's fiefdom.
After seeing the refugees Jiang Chen had taken in, a hint of joy flashed through their hearts.
These refugees are very strong.
But compared to when they first formed Huai'an Guard, it is much stronger now.
With great joy, Wang Zhongqing and his companions immediately transferred the 100 Huai'an guards over.
Soon, a team of one thousand young and strong people was formed for training.
At the same time that Wang Zhongqing and others began to form Jiang Chen's "Jiyuan Army".
The emperor, lying deep in the palace, opened his eyes.
He could feel that his body seemed to have relaxed a lot.
So, with the help of the palace maids, the emperor finally got out of bed.
"Go and call Su Dingxia over. I want to see him!"
"I obey your command."
Soon, Su Dingxia, who had been summoned, ran into the bedroom in a hurry.
"Your servant greets His Majesty."
"Your Majesty, your dragon body is important, why are you still up?!"
Seeing that the emperor was actually sitting, Su Dingxia asked worriedly.
"I feel a little better today."
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now."
"I plan to transfer the Marquis of Jiyuan to manage the five battalions of the Northern Army."
"What do you think?"
The emperor waved his hand, indicating that Su Dingxia didn't need to worry.
So he told them his plan.
After hearing what the emperor meant, Su Dingxia understood.
The Emperor is preparing to take action against the Regent!
"Your Majesty, I think."
"This move is somewhat inappropriate. After all, the Northern Army's Fifth Battalion is the capital's most important army."
"The military power has always been controlled by the Regent."
"From the commander of the fifth battalion to the squad leader and sergeant."
"They were all promoted by the Regent. Your Majesty, please do this."
"This undoubtedly puts the Marquis of Jiyuan in opposition to the Regent!"
Su Dingxia said these words tremblingly, and his body shook as well.
"I know this, but isn't Marquis Jiyuan also the regent's man?"
"Then I will confer him the title of Marquis, and the Regent will be his master."
"Could it be that he doesn't want to express his feelings?!"
After hearing what Su Dingxia said, the emperor said indifferently.
Although he, the emperor, has no real power, he still knows some information.
After all, no one knew that he was the fake fourth son of the late emperor.
Some of the ministers who were loyal to the royal family still cared about him very much.
Therefore, Su Dingxia was not surprised that the emperor knew that Jiang Chen had dealings with the Regent.
"Okay, I have already written the imperial edict."
"Just help me make this trip!"
After saying this, the emperor motioned for the palace maid to come over.
Then, with the help of the palace maid, he returned to the bed.
"I have to do something worthy of this position."
However, Su Dingxia, who was already rushing to the Regent's Palace with the imperial edict, did not hear these words.
Soon, Su Dingxia arrived in front of the Regent's Palace in a carriage.
"Okay, wait for us here."
"Yes, Lord Governor!"
The driver was a guard from the Western Factory of the Jinyiwei under the jurisdiction of Su Dingxia.
After Su Dingxia got off the carriage, he walked with heavy steps.
Arrived at the gate of the Regent's Palace.
He spoke to the two personal guards of the Regent Prince's Palace who were guarding outside the gate.
"We have received the Emperor's order to report important matters to the Regent ."
"Please inform us both!"
"Okay, please wait a moment, sir."
After seeing that Su Dingxia was wearing the Jinyiwei's flying fish uniform.
The two bodyguards did not dare to be negligent and left one behind to continue guarding.
One person hurried into .
The Regent, who had just finished breakfast, was strolling leisurely in the yard.
Suddenly, the butler, who had received news from the gate guards, ran over in a panic.
"Master, there is a eunuch outside who wants to see you."
"He said he came here on the emperor's orders."
When the Regent heard that it was someone sent by the Emperor to see him, he felt a little confused.
But he still nodded to the butler and said.
"Go and bring him to my study and prepare some hot tea."
"Yes, sir!"
After receiving the order from the Regent, the butler did not dare to delay for a moment.
He trotted quickly to the gate of the palace and spoke to Su Dingxia breathlessly.
"Su, Eunuch Su, the prince wants to see you !"
"Please come with me. The prince is waiting for you in the study ."
"Well, our family would like to thank the housekeeper first."
