The system forced me to be emperor

They are all servants of the dragon, so they can be named marquises.As His Majesty entered the year of Ershun, these Hou Ye were a little older or a little younger than Emperor Xia, but they were all around the age of Ershun, and they were almost unable to do what they wanted.

Now seven military marquises have returned to Beijing, and the first thing they do after returning to Beijing is naturally to meet His Majesty and the Crown Prince.Xiao Rui's role in this drama is just a bystander, so it's fine to just watch the drama quietly.Emperor Xia held a banquet in the palace, and called Zhang Jinfu, the Zhongyonghou, to treat the eight military lords well.

At the banquet, Emperor Xia only talked about personal matters, talked about the world, and talked about the interesting things of the year, and did not mention the purpose of calling them back to Beijing. He was also afraid of making His Majesty angry, so in the end he let it go.

After the banquet was over, the military marquis didn't drink much, and they were full of troubles.

In the next few days, it was natural to wait for the champion Hou Zhuge Yuanba, Changsheng Hou Tian Boyuan and Ping Bohou to return to Beijing.Also taking advantage of these few days, several military lords began to communicate secretly.

Among the eleven military marquises, there are also distances. Champion Marquis, Changsheng Marquis Tian Boyuan, Zhongyong Marquis Zhang Jinfu, Valiant Marquis Wang Feng, and Zhenyuan Marquis Han Ming are relatively close to each other. Starting from the beginning, step by step, we have achieved our current achievements.On the other hand, other military lords have excellent family backgrounds and a high start, so they have a good relationship.To put it simply, it is because of different origins.

Xiaoyonghou Wangfeng and Zhenyuanhou Hanming went to Zhang Jinfu's place. Zhang Jinfu knew the purpose of their visit, so he warmly entertained them.

"You two are also scratching like cats? You came here to find out the news!" Zhang Jinfu joked.

Han Ming said with a smile: "I was just transferred back to the Licheng Army Town, and just after finishing the order, I received His Majesty's order. I thought I came back alone, but when I arrived in the capital, I realized that it was all the military lords who held the military power. In the past, Your Majesty I will summon all the military marquises back to Beijing to report on their duties. But now that the crown prince is in charge of the country, and His Majesty is old, it is naturally impossible to personally conscript. In addition, His Majesty’s thoughts of abdicating are getting stronger and stronger. I believe it is not only me, but also other people. Feeling apprehensive! Isn’t it, Lao Wang!”

Wang Feng said with a smile: "Brother Han is right. Lao Zhang, you have been staying in the capital, and you have heard more comprehensive news. Don't hide it, just tell me!"

Zhang Jinfu nodded, and said: "Your Majesty is old, why are we not old! When you are old, you must have self-knowledge. If you should give way to a newcomer, you must give way!"

The meaning of these words was already obvious. Han Ming and Wang Feng looked at each other bitterly.

After all, it is really reluctant to give up the right to lead the army if you give up the right to lead the army all your life.It's not that he is greedy for power, it's just that he suddenly lost his goal.

At this time, Zhang Jinfu said with a smile: "Don't be sad, you two. Although we are old and we should take a rest, we are not returning home. His Majesty is going to abdicate, so naturally he will hand over a stable and powerful throne to the crown prince and keep us Eleven old guys are not a factor for security, so your majesty must make this move. But after the crown prince succeeds to the throne, the new world will be changed, and the crown prince will use us when the time comes, and we will still use it. You two understand ?”

Han Ming and Wang Feng suddenly realized.

Don't look at Zhang Jinfu's roughness, but he is careful, otherwise His Majesty would not let him manage the patrol battalion to guard the security in the capital.Zhang Jinfu sees it very clearly, His Majesty must take back the right to lead the army of the eleven military lords first, there is no need to discuss it!

But after taking it back, after the power of the throne is handed over to the prince, the prince will definitely use newcomers, but some veterans will also be used as usual.

For example, Champion Hou and Chang Shenghou, although they are old, they can still fight for Daxia for a few more years. They are all masters of martial arts, and their physical fitness is good. Now they have six or seven steamed buns for a meal. It is no problem to personally lead troops to kill the enemy.

Of course, who the crown prince will use at that time is up to the crown prince.

At the very least, Champion Hou, Chang Shenghou, and Zhongyonghou are inevitable. Zhenyuan Hou Han Ming has received the favor of the prince, so the prince will naturally use it, and Wang Feng is a good friend of them. He has good abilities and can basically use it.

As for the remaining Marquis, they have supported the other princes from the very beginning, and they have been guarding the place all these years without any military achievements. Whether the prince will continue to use it, hehe, it is hard to say.

"So don't worry you two, just cooperate with His Majesty when the time comes." Zhang Jinfu reminded.

Han Ming said with a smile: "Even if it will not be activated, we have nothing to say if His Majesty wants to take away our right to lead the army. However, Pingbohou and Baizhanhou will not talk about it. They must be complaining in their hearts. I don't know how to live or die, and angered His Majesty."

Zhang Jinfu nodded, and said again: "You are right, Pingbohou and the others must have complaints, but this matter is a foregone conclusion. Eleven military lords, the five of us fully support His Majesty's arrangement. Lie Yanhou is weak and sick Li Feng, Marquis of Pojun, Gaoming of Marquis of Pojun, Bei Chufeng of Changlin Marquis, and Chu Lie of Chiyan Marquis are left. Can the four of them change the situation? I hope they will not offend His Majesty, forget This is the result of His Majesty's resolute killing in the past."

Han Ming and Wang Feng quite agreed.

At the same time, Li Feng, Marquis of Baizhan, Gao Ming, Marquis of Pojun, Bei Chufeng, Marquis of Changlin, and Chu Lie, Marquis of Chiyan also got together to discuss the situation. Beijing debriefing.

In addition, they are different from Champion Hou and Chang Shenghou. The four places they defend are not at the border, but in the state capital in Daxia.For example, Baizhanhou Li Feng is in Xuzhou, and Pojunhou Gaoming is in Ezhou, so their positions are not so critical.

Therefore, the few of them were even more worried about losing their military power.

Chapter 618: 24 Heroes, Recorded in History!

When the sting comes, Chunlei wakes up the sleeping insects in the ground, and the earth recovers completely.

Accompanied by the cold spring breeze, Champion Hou, Chang Shenghou, and Pingbohou returned to the capital one after another, making the already depressing atmosphere even more subtle.

The last one to come back was the champion Hou Zhuge Yuanxiong.

After entering the city, he went back to the Ministry of War to report, and then hurriedly met His Majesty and the Crown Prince, without even returning home.

As soon as Xiao Rui heard that his father-in-law had returned, he immediately ordered someone to prepare tea and went to invite His Majesty at the same time.

Zhuge Yuanxiong walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, looked at Xiao Rui who was sitting high on the dragon chair, with a bit of astonishment on his calm face, he froze there.

It was also a coincidence that Emperor Xia just came and saw Zhuge Yuanxiong who was in a daze, patted him on the shoulder, and asked with a smile, "Why are you so dazed?"

Zhuge Yuanxiong turned his head and saw that it was His Majesty, he hurriedly cupped his hands in salute, but he was stopped by Emperor Xia, and said with a smile: "You have worked hard for the Great Xia, and the etiquette will be avoided."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhuge Yuanxiong said with a smile.

Emperor Xia continued to ask: "You haven't answered me yet, why are you so dazed!"

Zhuge Yuanxiong looked at Xiao Rui, and said with emotion: "His Royal Highness is so handsome, the appearance of reviewing the memorials at this time is actually similar in appearance and spirit to His Majesty back then, quite like His Majesty!"

Emperor Xia laughed loudly, glanced at Xiao Rui who was walking down the dragon chair, and said comfortingly: "I haven't seen you for a few years, when did my mouth become so sweet, could it be that Yuezhang praised his son-in-law, the more he praises, the happier he is?"

Zhuge Yuanxiong couldn't help laughing too. When Xiao Rui ascended the throne, he will be the head of the country, and his grandson is likely to be the prince. Their Zhuge family has also grown from an ordinary general family to a top family in Daxia. All this is naturally because of He is a good son-in-law, so there is nothing wrong with Emperor Xia making a joke.

At this time, Xiao Rui came over, he saluted Emperor Xia, Zhuge Yuanxiong saluted him, and then he returned to salute his family.

There is a country first and then a family, so the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers must be placed first.

The three sat down, and Emperor Xia asked, "How is the situation in Anbei Zhuzhou?"

Zhuge Yuanxiong said: "The Yue Fei recommended by His Royal Highness is definitely a strong general. Maybe his combat power is not as strong as Li Cunxiao and Yang Youji, but he is familiar with the art of war, full of strategies, and good at thinking. In just two months In time, a Yue family army was trained specifically to target the cavalry of the Yuan Kingdom. They used Mazha knives to cooperate with traps, and the cavalry used hooks and sickles to kill the Yuan army and fled north. In the Northern Zhuzhou, Yue Fei, Li Cunxiao and the others also pulled the border defense line to the position planned before. After the busy spring plowing period is over, they can organize the people to cultivate the city wall according to the river and mountains, and forge the city gate."

"As for the rebels in the territory, they have almost cut their paths. Only the last wave of Nanshan army rebels in Pengzhou is also ready to be wiped out. The people in other states have resumed production and stabilized the hearts of the people. Of course, there are still restlessness A traitor, but there won't be any waves, your Majesty and His Royal Highness can rest assured..."

Following his eloquence, Xiao Rui and Emperor Xia got far more detailed information than what was written in the memorial.Ye Wendao recommended by Xiao Rui is indeed very capable, with both literature and martial arts. He cooperated with Champion Hou and contributed to basically taking over the entire Anbei area so quickly.

After listening to Champion Hou's narration, Emperor Xia directly stated his purpose: "What I am most afraid of is the instability of Anbei. Only when Anbei is stable can my plan be implemented. You will hand over the leadership of the army when you return to Beijing this time." , and enjoy the feeling of the future king!"

Zhuge Yuanxiong nodded with a smile, and said, "I understand! I've been on the battlefield for so long, it's time to rest!"

As the prince's father-in-law, he knew that he would support him without thinking about it.

Xia Huangdao: "Your grandson is so big, you haven't seen it yet, let the princess go home to live for a few days, your grandson, with your shadow, has been strong since childhood, and will definitely be able to tear tigers when he grows up. Leopard!"

"Really?" Zhuge Yuanxiong looked eagerly. His wife passed away early, and he only had one daughter, Liuying, who was away all year round. He cared too little for his daughter. He didn't come back for her daughter's wedding and childbirth, so he felt guilty.

Now that his daughter has given birth to a grandson, it even arouses his intergenerational relatives, wishing he could hug his grandson right now.

Xiao Rui couldn't help being amused when he saw that the topic of the two was related to his grandson.

Zhuge Yuanxiong was left to have lunch in the palace before letting him go out, accompanied by Zhuge Liuying and his children, and staying at home for a few days was to make up for Zhuge Yuanxiong.

After returning to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Emperor Xia asked, "Hai Banban, is the portrait ready?"

Hai Dafu said: "Reporting to Your Highness, except for the portrait of the champion, everything else is ready, and the slaves have also checked it in person. They are brave and majestic. I believe that the military princes will be satisfied after seeing it!"

Emperor Xia nodded and said, "Let the painter prepare a portrait for the champion as soon as possible!"

"Your servant understands." Hai Dafu said respectfully.
