Chapter 66: The Tyrant Conquers and the People Suffer

The greetings showed the worldly wisdom.

From the two people's deliberate dress, speech and behavior, it is not difficult to see that Wuning King Liu Xinwu did not put on airs by relying on his seniority, and Chen Huaian was also humble and polite, acting like a junior.

While chatting and laughing, the two people got to the point.

Liu Xinwu said: "My dear nephew, Youzhou has reported that the 200,000 Japanese soldiers led by Emperor Zhao Gan arrived in Youzhou yesterday and will set off after three days of rest in Youzhou."

"How is it? The Longcheng Jingnan Army under your command has only one day of rest time after this long-distance attack. Can the morale and combat effectiveness of the army be guaranteed?"

Chen Huaian said: "My Lord——"

"My dear nephew, stop!"

Before Chen Huaian finished speaking, he was interrupted rudely by Liu Xinwu, who said angrily: "My dear nephew, there is no bullshit prince here, only an old man who is half buried in the ground!"

"In theory, you are the prince of Jin and you should inherit the title of prince. I am just the prince of Changshan. If you call me prince again, shouldn't I perform the court ceremony to you?"

"I'm so grateful. From now on, you and I will call each other uncle and nephew. Call me uncle!"

Hearing this, Chen Huaian smiled awkwardly, and in his heart, he was talking to the black-robed old monk Dongfang Xiao.

He thought, it's all because of this old monk's proposal of marriage, which made him feel like a new son-in-law meeting his father-in-law when talking to King Wuning.

But, this conversation has to continue.

Chen Huaian arched his hands and said, "Uncle!"

Hmm!

Liu Xinwu nodded with satisfaction and motioned Chen Huaian to continue.

Chen Huaian said: "Uncle, those who took a detour to Wuzhou via Mobei this time are the elite of my nephew's Longcheng Jingnan Army. On the way north, the infantry were equipped with two horses, the light cavalry were equipped with three horses, and the heavy cavalry were equipped with four horses."

"Now, the horses are full of energy, the morale of the soldiers is high, the generals are fearless of fighting, and the soldiers have no desire to live--"

Speaking of this, Chen Huaian changed the subject and said domineeringly: "Whip the second emperor and kill the treacherous officials in the court, as easy as taking something from a bag!"

Hahaha!

"Good!"

"Very good!"

"Very good!"

Liu Xinwu laughed and shouted "good" three times, then stood up from the chair, paced in the study, looked at Chen Huaian with approval and appreciation, and continued:

"A real man born between heaven and earth should have such heroic spirit and courage, and should have the courage and boldness to go forward even if there are thousands of people against him!"

"My dear nephew Huaian, after seeing you today, I am more convinced that I have not made a mistake. How can a golden fish stay in a pond? Once it encounters wind and clouds, it will turn into a dragon——"

"You, Chen Huaian, are not at all He is not the useless prince who is regarded as the son of a tiger father and a dog son by those nobles and generals in the court of Daxin!"

"But he is the one who has the talent to change the world, the plan of ghosts and gods, and the ambition of heaven and earth!"

Speaking of this, Liu Xinwu's eyes were like torches, and his tone was firm and sincere: "My dear nephew, I will hand over the Wuning Palace and the little girl Shujun to you. Don't worry, don't worry, hahaha!"

Chen Huaian: "......"

......

In Youzhou City, the temporary camp of Zhao Gan, the second emperor of Daxin.

The imperial groom Sun Heling, while braving the biting cold wind, struggled to carry hay into the stable, while looking at the emperor's camp full of the sounds of women laughing and playing, shook his head and sighed.

This Daxin Jian'an Emperor completely regarded the imperial expedition as a child's play.

Since the expedition from the imperial city of the capital, he has not forgotten to seek pleasure along the way, recruiting beautiful women to enter the camp everywhere, singing and dancing every night, and living a life of drunkenness and dreams.

In order to curry favor with the emperor, local officials along the way built large-scale projects in their territories, deliberately creating a false image of prosperity and prosperity, and the people's happiness.

For example, the Youzhou City under the rule of the flying general Li Jingyu was now a scene of merchants and merchants gathering and bustling.

Sun Heling was too lazy to expose it. It was clearly the beginning of winter. Where did so many merchants and tourists come from on the streets that had been deserted in previous years?

Under the brocade and silk, it was clear that the faces were already numb, like puppets.

For example, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal project, which Emperor Zhao Gan intended to be on par with the Qin Emperor and Han Emperor, did not stop for a moment when the cold winter was approaching.

Countless civilians and corvées were hungry and worked day and night in the cold wind. Countless people died of serious illness.

All of this was just local officials catering to the Emperor Zhao Gan's preferences, completely disregarding the lives of the people of the world.

In this regard, Sun Heling, who had long been reduced to a horseman in front of the emperor, only felt compassion in his heart over and over again: prosperity, the people suffer; decline, the people suffer!

Many times, Sun Heling unconsciously compared Chen Huaian, the prince of Jin, with the current emperor Zhao Gan.

Compared with Chen Huaian's attitude of benevolent governance towards the people in the fiefdom of Jin and the cities occupied by the Longcheng Jingnan Army, Emperor Zhao Gan's personal expedition this time can be summed up in eight words-tyrants conquer, and the people suffer!

All kinds of things he saw and heard during the expedition have begun to gradually shake Sun Heling's beliefs.

Many times, the sentimental him was in his heart, silently cheering for Chen Huaian, hoping that the Longcheng Jingnan Army could defeat the imperial court's rebellion army and let the cruel reality give the foolish tyrant a heavy blow.

Perhaps, only in this way can Emperor Zhao Gan wake up and change his ways?

At the same time.

In the temporary camp of Emperor Zhao Gan, a group of beautiful women selected from all over the country are still performing hard in the magnificent and extravagant camp.

There are all kinds of music, such as playing music, chess, singing and dancing.

Emperor Zhao Gan enjoys himself, leaning on the arms of his favorite concubine Wen Renyu, enjoying the wine and indulging in sensual pleasures.

Outside the camp, Shen Guangming, the Minister of War, has been waiting here for a long time, but has not been summoned by the emperor.

At this time, Shen Guangming, who has urgent military information in his hands, finally can't sit still anymore. He stood up from his kneeling position and pretended to break into the emperor's camp.

"Sir Shen, what are you trying to do? Rebellion!"

A sharp voice sounded, and Liu Zhen, the popular eunuch beside Emperor Zhao Gan, raised his hand to stop Shen Guangming, the Minister of War, who wanted to break in.

"Eunuch Liu, the four towns of Anxi have urgent military information, and we can't delay!"

Shen Guangming looked anxious, his voice was full of tears, and he said, "Please let me go to see the emperor first!"

Humph!

The chief eunuch Liu Zhen snorted coldly and said with contempt, "Sir Shen, what urgent military information is more important than the emperor's rest?"

"Imperial Guards, protect the emperor!"

"Anyone who disturbs the emperor will be killed without mercy!"
