Chapter Eighty-Five: The Golden Palace

After Ling Helai successfully assassinated Emperor Chen Tai, Jin Zhenglei led his troops to besiege the harem and coerced the empress, who had just been promoted to empress dowager, to issue an edict to make King Chen Liu's illness emperor. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

After King Chen Liuwang obtained the decree of the Queen Mother, if he obtained the treasure, he immediately summoned the ministers, pretended to cry a few times, and Jin Zhenglei announced the death of Emperor Chen Tai, and the Queen Mother's decree was transmitted to King Chen Liu.

There is the edict of the Queen Mother, and the tiger and wolf division of Jin Zhenglei looks around, even if the ministers are suspicious and opposed, where do they dare to speak up? What's more, who doesn't want to cling to the new king? At this time, they all bowed to the ground and bowed their heads, persuading King Chen to accept the decree, obey the will of the people, and ascend the throne as emperor. In the main hall, the black pressure knelt on the ground, and the sound of congratulations was endless.

King Chen Liuwang looked down at the prostrate ministers, was complacent, pretended to resign a few times, and then proudly boarded the dragon chair, ascended the throne and called the emperor, called Emperor Chen Wu. The civil and military officials were promoted differently.

Emperor Wu Chen canonized Jin Zhenglei as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses in court, and gave the original Chenliu palace to Jin Zhenglei to live in.

But there was no mention of the revenge of the army. According to the previous agreement, after King Chen Liuwang became emperor, he should immediately send Jin Zhenglei to lead 200,000 Chen Guo's troops to attack Weiguo, capture the emperor and Fei Chong, and avenge the old Jin family. Maybe the emperor was busy claiming the title of emperor and sealing the official, and forgot about revenge for the time being.

For more than ten days in a row, the emperor did not mention the matter of sending troops, could it be that the emperor forgot about this matter? Sometimes, when Kim Jong-lei tentatively euphemistically proposed revenge, the emperor often talked about him left and right.

Kim Zhenglei waited for more than a month, and finally couldn't hold it anymore, and asked straight to the point in the court on this day: "Your Majesty, I don't know when the army is scheduled to attack the country?" ā€

Emperor Wu Chen wore a crown on his head, wore a dragon robe, and sat on a dragon chair, high on the top, full of energy and majesty. When he saw that Kim Zhenglei asked so directly, he knew that he couldn't prevaricate anymore, so he slowly opened Chrysostom and said slowly: "Marshal Jin, I have always been concerned about your revenge, and I must not forget it for a while. However, the time is not yet ripe. After a pause, he asked the eunuch to pass over a piece of paper and said, "You take a look at this first." ā€

Kim Jong-lei took the paper, held it in his hand and took a quick look, only to see that the paper was impressively written:

"The usurper thief Chen went to illness, the first king and his lord and the famous mansion, words must be seen and heard, things must be followed, it can be described as love and deep belief. In vain, it should be rebellious to decorate the loyal city on the outside, hide treacherous evil inside, fox moose on the outside, snake and scorpion on the outside, covet artifacts, and harbor evil intentions. The rebel steals power, raises evil people, and plots day and night to seize power. On July 15 of this year, in the name of offering fish to the feast, the rebel hid a dagger on a porcelain plate, lured the assassin in the hall, smashed the sword, and assassinated the emperor. The assassin Ling He came to rebel against his old friend Jin Zhenglei, and the Mochou sword of the assassin emperor was the treasure of the rebel mansion, so he should be the leader of the murder of the monarch and the vanguard of the usurpation. After the rebellion killed the king, he forged the edict of the queen mother, expelled my Huanghuang prince, stole the throne, and invaded the court. The sin of rebellion is monstrous and tiring like a mountain, and it is difficult to write about it. All the people of Chen Kingdom, regardless of whether they are high or low, whether they are old or young, everyone can eat their flesh and sleep on their skin, and avenge the shame of the previous king. "Yunyun...

Jin Zhenglei read Bibei Chen Guo's inscription, smiled and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this Wenchen received it two days earlier, what is this?" It's just a lie! What kind of storm did you get? ā€

"Marshal Kim is bad. Chen Qushan is not what it used to be, he is now in charge of Yangzhou, Lianzhou, Pingzhou, known as the North Chen State, with 100,000 soldiers under his command, eyeing my Changning City. Can you let others sleep soundly on the side of the couch? And it's a tiger! Once the marshal led his troops south, it was difficult to guarantee that Chen would not take advantage of the situation to enter the mountain. So when the capital is empty, how to resist it? At that time, I still have to summon the marshal back to Beijing to defend against the enemy, wouldn't the marshal's revenge be in vain and give up halfway? The emperor shook his head and said.

"It turns out that the emperor is worried about this! The emperor doesn't have to worry! Chen Qushan's 100,000 soldiers are counted, what is it? He is only worried that we will fight him, how dare he come and attack us? The ministers have been properly deployed, and the ministers have arranged for 150,000 troops to defend the northern border, and 100,000 troops to guard Changning City. The minister only led an army of 100,000 to attack the country. Kim Jong-lei laughed.

"Marshal Jin's arrangement is not inappropriate, but I am still very worried! The stakes are high, so the marshal should wait and talk about it. The emperor still shook his head.

Jin Zhenglei thought to himself, it seems that the emperor is still unwilling to send troops, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the whole family of the minister was killed by the emperor of the country, and he sank to the bottom of the sea unjustly, and his soul has no support, and it has been seventeen years now. In the past 17 years, the minister's revenge has not been avenged, and he is heartbroken, and he doesn't want to kill back to defend the country and take revenge! I really can't wait any longer! ā€

"Marshal Jin, you can't climb again, you've been waiting for seventeen or eighteen years, why wait another year and a half?" The emperor sneered.

When Kim Jong-lei heard this, he was stunned for a while, speechless. The person sitting on the dragon chair above was no longer King Chen Liu, who begged him to help seize the throne a few months ago, and the throne and the three armies did not belong to him at that time, so he could casually promise to seize the throne. Now that he has fulfilled his wish, he is already a king with the power of life and death in the four seas, and the three armies are already in his pocket, but he hesitates to weigh the benefits.

It is said that the emperor speaks with a golden mouth and a jade word, but in fact, treachery is their true face. Although he made a lot of effort for the emperor to ascend the throne and claim the emperor, if the emperor crossed the river and demolished the bridge, he would have no way to do anything. Although he controlled the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Chen State, it was just in charge of the emperor. annoyed the emperor, as long as he said a word, he could immediately remove himself. At that time, what kind of defense, what kind of revenge, everything is empty words. If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan. It seems that under the eaves of people, I have to bow my head.

Kim Zhenglei froze for a moment and asked, "When will the emperor be willing to send troops to defend him?" ā€

The emperor stroked his beard, thought for a while, and said unhurriedly, "If Marshal Jin can lead my troops to conquer the north and wipe out the Chen Qushan rebel group, I will definitely send troops to help you take revenge." ā€

"Your Majesty, is this true?" Jin Zhenglei couldn't resist the emperor, so he could only go downhill and ask.

"I have a golden mouth, how can it be false!" The emperor said without thinking.

"Good! Your Majesty, I promise you that you will first lead 100,000 troops to cut off Chen Qushan, and then attack the country! I hope that the emperor will not regret it at that time. Kim Jong-lei resolutely agreed.

After reaching a verbal agreement with the emperor, Kim Jong-lei immediately returned to the marshal's palace and convened the strategists and generals to discuss the expedition. The army went out, and the grain and grass went first. When 100,000 soldiers go out on the expedition, they need to hire 200,000 men to transport grain and grass, and the people also need to eat grain and grass, and they have to collect 300,000 people to eat grain and grass. These preparations are not something that can be done in two or three months. So to this day, the army has not left Changning City.

At this juncture, Ling Xue and Song Qi came to the Marshal's Mansion.

From then on, the elimination of Chen Guang's crown prince Chen Qushan and his subordinate Yiheng became the common mission of Ling Xue, Song Qi, and Kim Jong-lei.

Kim Jong-lei took advantage of the situation to let them join the army of the Northern Expedition.
