Chapter 167 The Emperor's Threat
"It's okay. It's okay."
Seeing Su Dingxia being so polite, the housekeeper quickly waved his hand.
Afterwards, under the guidance of the butler.
Su Dingxia followed him to the Regent's study.
There are three bookshelves in the large study.
There are all kinds of books piled on it, besides these books.
There are also several shelves filled with various exquisite pottery and ornaments.
Looking at the furnishings in the Regent's study, there are many things that are not even in the Imperial Study.
And when Su Dingxia turned his gaze to the Regent sitting at the desk.
He actually felt a sense of pressure from the Regent that was no less than that from Eunuch De.
It seems that this regent is also a hidden talent!
He is actually a master who is no weaker than the eunuch De who is beside Concubine Shu.
Thinking of this, Su Dingxia did not show any fear.
The Regent is strong, but Su Dingxia is not weak either!
"Eunuch Su, I don't know why it's so early in the morning."
"The Emperor asked you to come to me, why?"
The Regent looked at Su Dingxia and asked with a smile.
"Reporting to the Regent, the Emperor is calling for his servant to come."
"It is to inform you that the emperor intends to allow the Marquis of Jiyuan to enter the fifth battalion of the Northern Army."
As Su Dingxia said this, a barely perceptible cold light flashed in the Regent's eyes!
Although it was only a flash, the Regent hid it very well.
But he lived for decades.
Su Dingxia, whose senses had already become highly sensitive, still sensed the murderous intent in him.
"oh?"
"Your Majesty, this is not right!"
"Then Jiang Chen did make some achievements when he went to Jiangnan."
"But, he was made a marquis, which is more than he deserves."
"Now that the emperor has made this arrangement, what will the other ministers think?"
The regent, who had put away his murderous intent, spoke calmly, but his attitude was clearly expressed.
Didn't your Majesty insist on letting Jiang Chen take control of the military power? !
As the regent, I just don’t agree. What can you do about it?
Seeing that the Regent disagreed with the Emperor's decision, Su Dingxia didn't say anything more.
He just slowly took out the imperial edict from his arms.
"This matter is not up to you, Your Majesty..."
"The Emperor has already written the imperial edict, and he asked me to bring you a message."
"What?!"
Hearing that the emperor had something else to say to him, the regent frowned.
"That's what the Emperor said."
"Uncle, I am about to die."
"But as long as I am alive, I will have the final say in this Xia Kingdom!"
As Su Dingxia told the regent what the emperor had asked him to say.
A trace of anger flashed across the regent's face, and the teacup in his hand was crushed into powder by him.
"He is truly my good nephew!"
"Go back and tell the emperor that I agree!"
Although what the emperor said did not sound like much at first glance.
But the implication was to tell the Regent.
It's true that you let me sit on the throne, but please don't go too far.
If you really go too far, then I will choose to tell you the truth of that year!
I have to say, this fake emperor who has sat on the throne for more than 20 years.
As the last moment of his life got closer and closer.
He displayed the majesty of the emperor vividly!
What a pity, if this fake emperor had done this earlier.
Perhaps, the Regent would not dare to assassinate him!
Seeing that the Regent had relaxed, Su Dingxia also slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Since the prince has agreed, I will take my leave now."
After saying that, Su Dingxia bowed to the Regent.
He came and left the Regent's Palace in a hurry, carrying the imperial edict.
He got on the carriage and headed towards Jiang Chen’s Marquis Jiyuan’s mansion.
The Jiyuan Marquis Mansion, formerly the Protector General's Mansion, is not far from the Regent Prince's Mansion.
Therefore, after traveling for a while, the carriage arrived at the destination.
This time, Su Dingxia did not choose to go forward in person, but instead asked a guard from the Western Factory who was protecting him to go forward.
"Go tell your Lord Jiyuan that the imperial edict has arrived."
"Have him come out quickly to receive the order!"
The factory guards looked arrogantly at a captain of the Imperial Guards who was guarding the door.
Then, he spoke loudly to him.
"You wait here, I will go and report to the Marquis!"
Faced with the words of the Western Factory guards, the Jinyiwei did not hesitate at all.
He turned around and strode to Jiang Chen's study.
"My Lord, the Emperor has issued an order."
"The messenger is waiting for you outside. Please get out quickly."
Jiang Chen, who was looking through Lao Ba's secret restaurant account book, heard this.
He slowly raised his head and dropped the pen in his hand.
" I understand."
Having said that, Jiang Chen stood up.
Then, he quickly changed into a Qilin costume with the help of Su Qingcheng and the other two girls.
Then he followed the butler to the gate.
As soon as he saw Jiang Chen coming out, the guard from the Western Factory hurried back to the carriage.
Reported to Su Dingxia who was sitting in the carriage.
"Master, the Marquis of Jiyuan has come out."
"I got it. Help me out of the car."
"Yes, Lord Governor."
At Su Dingxia's order, several guards from the West Factory hurried forward and lifted the curtain of the carriage.
He hurriedly helped Su Dingxia get off the carriage.
After getting off the carriage, Su Dingxia took out the imperial edict from his arms.
Then, Su Dingxia loudly read the contents of the imperial edict to Jiang Chen.
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees!"
"Because of the battle of Jiyuan Hou Jiang Chen, who wiped out the Japanese pirates, the military might of our Xia Kingdom was quite evident!"
"Therefore, I hereby order him to join the Northern Army's five camps and take charge of one camp!"
"I hope that Jiyuan Hou Jiang Chen will live up to the emperor's grace. I decree this!"
After reading the imperial edict, Su Dingxia waited for a long time.
Seeing Jiang Chen standing there in a daze, he reminded Jiang Chen.
"My Lord, come and receive the order!"
With Su Dingxia's reminder, Jiang Chen, who was shocked by the imperial edict, finally came to his senses.
Jiang Chen came back to his senses, took a step forward and walked in front of Su Dingxia.
Then, he bowed down and worshipped.
"Your Highness, I am Jiang Chen, Marquis of Jiyuan."
"I accept your order and thank you for your grace!"
"Well, my Lord, don't let the Emperor down!"
Having said that, Su Dingxia handed the imperial edict to Jiang Chen.
He turned around and returned to the carriage with the help of his West Factory guards.
Looking at the carriage going away, Jiang Chen looked at the imperial edict in his hand again.
For a moment, I didn't know what to say.
He was just worrying about the lack , and the emperor immediately assigned some to him.
However, Jiang Chen was not happy about this.
After all, he knew that the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army was under the control of the Regent.
Therefore, the most important thing he has to do right now is.
Bring a generous gift and go meet the Regent!
Jiang Chen did not delay at all and hid the imperial edict.
He took out a few jars of fine wine from Lao Ba's secret wine shop, which was brewed according to the method he provided.
Carrying these fine wines, Jiang Chen came to the Regent's Palace.
