Chapter 261: The Dust Settles After He Is Appointed as a Marquis and Prime Minister

After being immersed in a brief excitement, Chen Huaian's mood returned to calm again.

Looking at the [Born to be an Emperor] system page in his mind, Chen Huaian couldn't help but start to wonder;

Now that the world is unified and foreign races and foreign countries have surrendered, in addition to the 800,000 private soldiers who are absolutely loyal to him, he also has more than 600,000 soldiers from the Great New Dynasty who have surrendered. What's the use of his unlimited power to explode soldiers?

Could it be that these one million soldiers are not enough to conquer the surrounding Goguryeo Peninsula and the four islands of Japanese pirates?

Or does he, Chen Huaian, want to continue to be the emperor on horseback, marching westward along the Western Regions, crossing the Eurasian continent and planting the flag of the new dynasty on every inch of land in Eastern and Western Europe?

If this is true, this unlimited power to explode soldiers seems to be usable.

However, when Chen Huaian saw the line of words [Achieve the achievement of the greatest emperor in history, and open the authority to explore immortality] on the system page, he had a new understanding of this "unlimited explosion of troops" authority.

After all, with Chen Huaian's ability to govern the country, it is only a matter of time to achieve the achievement of the greatest emperor in history.

This means that he is very likely to achieve the immortality defined by the system.

However, the 800,000 soldiers and horses that Chen Huaian has summoned so far will have the same birth, aging, illness and death as normal soldiers.

After 30 years, these 800,000 soldiers will all be veterans over 50 years old.

And now Chen Huaian has unlimited explosion of troops authority, which means that he can infinitely summon private soldiers who are 100% loyal to him without being restricted by time and space.

As long as Chen Huaian is willing, he can be the emperor of this new dynasty until the end of time and truly realize the slogan "Long live my emperor, long live, long live my emperor".

Haha!

When he thought of this, Chen Huaian laughed again.

He said to himself: "As the saying goes, fighting against the sky is endless fun, fighting against the earth is endless fun, fighting against people is endless fun, fighting against the wheel of the rolling river of history is endless fun!"

The next day.

Chen Huaian came to the Imperial Study early to handle government affairs.

Since the founding ceremony and the coronation ceremony have not yet been held, the new dynasty has not yet resumed the court meeting. The new emperor Chen Huaian's office is in the Imperial Study, and the ministers of the six ministries also go to the Imperial Study to meet the emperor in batches every day according to the importance of the affairs at hand.

With the destruction of Nanyue, it means that there is no more war in the new dynasty founded by Chen Huaian, and the military merits of the generals in the Longcheng army can almost be determined.

Next, it is time to reward merits and make them marquises and ministers.

In fact, Chen Huaian had considered for a long time before he became emperor how to reward the civil and military officials who followed him to raise troops to quell the rebellion and eventually followed him all the way to overthrow the Great Xin Dynasty and establish a new dynasty.

At this time, the cloth curtain with the names of Duke, Marquis and Earl hanging behind the screen in the imperial study has followed Chen Huaian from the fiefdom of Longcheng to the Jinling Imperial City, from the study of the Prince of Jin's Mansion to the imperial study in the palace.

And the slips of paper with the names of civil officials and military generals were repeatedly picked up and pasted and torn off by Chen Huaian.

Today, all this can finally be settled.

In Chen Huaian's consideration, the two deputy marshals of the Longcheng army, Chen Qingzhi and Chang Yuchun, must occupy the two dukes' quotas;

These two people, one in the west expedition to Tubo and the other in the south expedition to Daxin, have made great contributions to the new dynasty.

Therefore, Chen Huaian did not hesitate to post the slips with the names of Chen Qingzhi and Chang Yuchun in the column of dukes, and conferred the titles of Duke of Korea and Duke of Wei on them respectively, ranking them at the top of the six dukes;

Then there was Pang Xianchu, the commander of the imperial camp of the late emperor Chen Polu and a brave general in the Longcheng Polu army.

In terms of military exploits, Pang Xianchu naturally cannot be compared with the two deputy marshals of the army, Chen Qingzhi and Chang Yuchun;

However, Pang Xianchu has always followed Chen Huaian in his campaigns. Whether it was the destruction of the Turkic state or the western expedition to the thirty-six kingdoms in the Western Regions, Pang Xianchu was Chen Huaian's right-hand man and capable general;

This time, he personally led the army to the south to destroy the Nanyue state, which was also a great achievement;

In addition, because of his identity as the commander of the former emperor's front camp and Pang Xianchu's loyalty to the former emperor Chen Polu and the new emperor Chen Huaian, he was also listed by Chen Huaian as one of the six dukes conferred in the new dynasty;

Chen Huaian also posted the note with Pang Xianchu's name on it in the duke column, and conferred him the title of Duke of Jin;

Next, the note that Chen Huaian picked up had a special name written on it - Liu Xinwu!

That's right, it was Liu Xinwu, the Wuning King, one of the eight kings of different surnames in the previous dynasty.

Although Liu Xinwu did not directly ride on the horse to kill the enemy, he participated in the new dynasty's conquests and made great contributions on the battlefield.

However, Liu Xinwu's existence directly accelerated the demise of the Great Xin Dynasty.

Whether it was when Chen Huaian led the Dragon City special forces to bypass the desert and attack thousands of miles away, and ambushed the second emperor of the Great Xin, Zhao Gan, who was personally leading the expedition at Tumu Fort;

or later lobbying the generals of the Great Xin in the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun to surrender to the New Dynasty, and even going to the Jiangnan region to lobby the other three kings of the other surnames of the Great Xin to stabilize the situation and economy in the Jiangnan region, Wuning King Liu Xinwu had indelible contributions;

Just for these achievements, it would not be an exaggeration to retain the title of Wuning King for Liu Xinwu, or even change it to a son king.

However, Liu Xinwu also has another identity as the father of Princess Shujun Liu Shujun, and Liu Shujun is one of the candidates for the queen of the New Dynasty, which makes Chen Huaian a little hesitant.

In the end, should Liu Xinwu be rewarded for his contribution to the New Dynasty, or treated as a father-in-law?

For a moment, Chen Huaian hesitated.

"Your Majesty——"

"Mr. Li, the Minister of War, wants to see you!"

Just then, outside the imperial study, a report came from the eunuch Cai He of the Imperial Household Department, saying that it was Li Jingyu, the Minister of War, who came to see him.

"Let Mr. Li come in!"

Chen Huaian temporarily put down the note with Liu Xinwu's name on it and decided to meet with Li Jingyu, the Minister of War, first.

Even so, he already knew the purpose of Li Jingyu's visit.

Soon, Li Jingyu, the Minister of War, appeared in the imperial study. After kowtowed three times and bowed nine times to Chen Huaian, he slowly said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty--"

"The Ministry of War has just received a report from the front line of Nanyue. The pseudo-Emperor Li Zongmin and the Crown Prince Li Shiyu of Nanyue have been captured by our southern expedition army and are being escorted back to Beijing!"

"From now on, there will be no more war in the two Guangdong regions of the Xin Dynasty!"

Yes!

Chen Huaian nodded calmly.

After a pause, Li Jingyu spoke again, "Your Majesty, I have something else to report!"

"Fan Wuji, the deputy general of the southern expedition army, died on the wall of the Nanyue capital on the day the army broke the city. His body is on the way back!"
