Chapter 779 Secret Order
Brother Huang was also very happy to see her. After a long time, she realized that Brother Huang was going to write an imperial edict. She hurriedly tore off a corner of her shirt. Brother Huang bit her finger and wrote King Qin's imperial edict on it. Because there is a name on it, the edict is for Chen Min, commander of the Wu Feng Army, so she doesn't need to try hard to guess the meaning of the emperor's brother.
Mengtai was worried that the edict was fake, but although it was crooked, it was indeed in the emperor's handwriting, and the emperor's small seal was stamped on it, and his blood was boiling.
Seeking from wealth and danger in ancient times, if he can succeed as king, and the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, he will have the merit of being a dragon.
Although the Meng family has been a military general for generations, they have never made any contribution due to their untimely birth.
"Princess, leave this matter to me. I will definitely send this special edict to Commander Chen. Now that the court is upside down, and Lu Yan is coercing the emperor to order the princes, if the chaos cannot be rectified as soon as possible, It will be the people of Dayong who will suffer in the end.”
Chang Shou hurriedly said, "That's the reason, I'm not all for myself, if not, I don't have the guts to go in and out of the palace under Li Baozhen's nose again and again. This is my risk. You have to find a way to send out the edict brought out by the danger of life."
Thirteen days after Chen Min received the edict, the Wufeng Army stationed in Chuzhou, with a total strength of 30,000 troops, guarding the southeast line, defending the country of Wa. Since the year before last, the country of Wa has been unable to invade the border due to internal strife. .
To the north of Chuzhou, after passing Haizhou and Mizhou is Qingzhou. Today, the commander of Qingzhou is Guo Deng, and the south is Fuzhou. Yuan Yi, the commander-in-chief of Fuzhou, is the grandfather of Princess Chen.
Chen Min is not ignorant of the situation in the court. Although he is deeply favored by the emperor, he still does not lack the ability to judge the situation and judge the situation. He did not intend to get involved in the muddy water of the court. No matter who becomes the emperor, he will always need generals in the future. Bao Jiangshan, who knows, the emperor's secret decree was passed on to him.
Chen Min read the secret decree, lit a candle, and was about to burn the secret decree, when his son Chen Li rushed in and shouted, "Father, no!"
Chen Min saw that there were two staff members behind him, and everyone had expressions of surprise on their faces, so he knew why his son was here, so he couldn't help but sighed in his heart, fate!
Chen Li snatched the edict from his father. He took a look and saw that only the edge was burned a little. The handwriting of Emperor Shoukang, the content of the secret edict was still clear, and the small seal was also there. He couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Father , luckily the decree is all right!"
After Chen Min's two aides, Song Yong and Hu You, respectively saluted him, they took their old seats. Hu You cupped his hands at Chen Min and said, "My lord, if I can't wait, will your lord plan to take this Has the secret decree been burned?"
Chen Min leaned against the back of the chair, put his hands on the table, and lowered his eyes in silence.
Chen Li was shocked when he saw this, "Father, could it be that if you burn this secret decree, you can pretend that no one has sent it?"
The hairs all over Chen Min's body stood on end. This was what he was most afraid of. That's why he thought that it would be better to burn it. If this thing is kept, it will be a disaster after all, the root of the genocide.
"Father, you are so confused!" Chen Li was heartbroken, "If the emperor did not send the secret decree to the father, the son would not mention this matter, but since the emperor sent it, if the father does not do anything, in the future , the new emperor ascends the throne, no matter who it is, it is impossible to accommodate father."
Chen Min is not a fool. Beads of sweat popped out of his forehead when he was reminded like this, "How do you say that?"
"If the emperor's son will be enthroned in the future, and his father is dying today, how can the new emperor tolerate his father? If the emperor will be enthroned in the future, the emperor sent his father a secret decree today. What does it mean? But the father sees death If you don't save him, your father will be unfaithful and unrighteous, will the new emperor dare to use his father?"
Chen Min was poked into his mind, why is he willing to be an unfaithful and unrighteous person!
"The emperor appointed the four princes as the crown prince, named Princess Changshou as the auxiliary princess, and made his father the general marshal of the soldiers and horses. He was named the king of soldiers and horses in the world." Chen Min sighed at the end. It's not that I didn't think about it. At present, all the troops in the northwest and the northwest are under the control of Prince Chen. In the southwest, there is Prince Mu's Mansion. Prince Mu and Xiao Xun are life and death brothers. Don't worry about Yuan Yi in Fuzhou. Pei Ji, the commander of the 50,000 forbidden troops in Beijing People from Lu Yan."
Chen Min laughed at himself, "Who do you call for troops to serve as the king for your father? The heavenly soldiers and generals? Those are also the Jade Emperor's people."
Song Yong pondered, "My lord, it's not difficult to make a decision since ancient times. Now is the time for your lord to make a decision. Your lord still has to work hard for the king, but for whom? I heard that the second concubine is from the Cui family. Now it happens to be governing the river in Shandong, why not invite the second prince to discuss with the second prince and see how we can serve the king?"
Chen Min's eyes lit up. Since he wants to serve the king, why should he listen to the emperor and serve a prince in prison at such a critical time? Although the prince was supported by him, but after all, with the emperor's canonization edict, the credit will be reduced by half, but the second prince is different. If the second prince is completely supported by him, his meritorious deeds from the dragon, It's big!
Chen Min hurriedly got up and saluted Song Yong, "Mr. Song is a man of great talents, and he is as good as a ovary, he is really a man of God!"
Song Yong laughed loudly and touched the goatee on his chin, "If the subordinate is the ovary, what about my lord? Since ancient times, it is man-made. Today, this secret decree is delivered to the lord. Maybe it is God's choice? My lord can Don't disappoint the grace of God!"
Chen Min thought about it carefully, if he had the second prince in his hands, he would be nothing more than a puppet, if he could win over the Cui family and use the secret decree in his hand to win over, what would happen in the future? When the second prince ascends the throne, in the future, through the hands of the new emperor, the political opponents will be eliminated, and the government will be in his hands. Not to mention replacing him, at least he can become a family like Cui Xie.
The Chen family is not just a family of generals supported by himself. When he thought of this, his blood boiled, and he said to Chen Li, "Where is your sister? What are you doing today?"
Chen Li was puzzled and shook his head, "Father, you said the political affairs well, why are you worried about your sister again?"
Song Yong understood, he laughed, stood up and said to Chen Li, "My lord, when it comes to foresight, I still have to learn from my lord. The second prince is here, so naturally the eldest girl should serve the second prince herself. "
The third update!
