In July of the 39th year of the Yuan Zunji, the Northern Black-clothed Army crossed the Wumeng River, seized the land of the three states in the north of the Jiangbei, and confronted Lie Zhouyang across the river.

The whole process was boring, this side took the initiative to want, that side immediately gave up, and the handover process between the two sides was very smooth, and there was almost no battle.

After Chen Haotian got the news, he also showed that he first suppressed and then promoted, and perfectly interpreted what is called the most ruthless emperor's family.

When he first got the news, Chen Haotian didn't show anything abnormal except for sulking, and he didn't punish the soldiers in front.

After all, he was mentally prepared, and this result was his stated goal, so after the incident, there was nothing unacceptable.

I don't want the world to be unpredictable, it didn't take long for Tianwei to withdraw its troops, and after Chen Haotian learned the news, he was stunned for most of the day, and then became furious.

Knowing this, the northern army would be able to see the opportunity to completely annihilate the black-clothed army if it held out for a period of time, so why did it give up the northern three continents so early.

He will not blame himself and Tang Zhengquan, this evil fire has to be sprinkled on Lie Zhouyang and others, first scolding them for being passive and slacking off the battle, delaying the fighter, and then scolding them for being timid and having no determination to repay Jun'en.

In a fit of rage, he sent an order to arrest Lie Zhouyang and other criminals, escorted them to the royal capital, and directly cut off their heads, and countless victims were affected by this case.

At that time, Tang Zhengquan was recuperating in the house, and his family was afraid that it would affect his retreat, so they deliberately hid it from him.

In the same month of the following year, the Marquis of Wuwei, the Imperial Governor of the Jade Immortal Realm of the Tianyuan Kingdom, was deposed, and his official position was lost, and only the title of Marquis was retained.

Two months later, that is, in September of the forty-first year of the Yuan Zun Era, a major event that shook the world once again occurred in the Jade Immortal Realm.

Chen Haotian, the former king of Tianze, suddenly announced that he would change the name of the country to Tianrui, and he changed from the king of Tianze to the king of Tianrui.

After the news came out, everyone was shocked, everyone couldn't figure out what trick Chen Haotian was playing, why did he change the country name?

Mu Jinyun couldn't understand it, did this mean that he wanted to break with him completely, why did it look like a child was in a mood?

However, for him, this is not a bad thing, from now on, he is the only king of Tianze, and he no longer has to bother with who is orthodox.

Chen Haotian's move is equivalent to telling the whole world with practical actions that Mu Jinyun is the king of Tianze, and I am indeed a pseudo-king.

In the end, he is still his own uncle, which is really interesting, and he personally corrected his nephew's name.

Since then, the northern part of Tianze Kingdom has been renamed Tianrui Kingdom, and the royal capital of Tianrui Kingdom is the original royal capital of Tianze Kingdom.

On this day, in the mansion of Prime Minister Tang Zhengquan, Chen Haotian helped Tang Zhengquan up from the ground and pressed him on a chair.

He said in a concerned tone: "Zhengquan, you have not recovered from a serious illness, you don't have to be so polite! The previous chapter was messy, the responsibility is not all on you, you don't have to blame yourself too much for this, as soon as possible, the body will be well raised, this king can't do without you!"

A few words were heartfelt, and the old prime minister was moved to tears.

Tang Zhengquan was also really hard, he was busy before, not only to dispatch troops, gather grain and grass, and actively prepare for the invasion of the south, but also to always pay attention to the war in the north.

As a result, after a lot of hard work, he was a disaster by Chongzhang and Yi Peihao, and after the chicken and egg were beaten, there was nothing left.

The five continents are eroded, the soldiers are lost, and it is difficult to make a trip in a short period of time.

Tang Zhengquan was angry and ashamed, a rush of fire hit his heart, and under the disorder of his breath, he went mad and almost died.

Since then, Old Man Tang has been raising in the mansion until his health has improved slightly, and then he has asked for orders to personally lead the troops to the south.

Regarding the old prime minister's request, Chen Haotian seemed hesitant.

First, Tang Zhengquan is his confidant, and there is no problem with his ability and loyalty. It's just that the old prime minister has just recovered from a serious illness, and whether his current physical condition can carry the post of commander of the army, he has no spectrum in his heart.

Second, the army of Tianwei Kingdom went and returned, and gathered at the border. He repeatedly sent envoys to Tianwei to ask what the Tianwei court wanted, but people just ignored it, although he was angry, but he was helpless.

To sum up the above two points, whether the timing of the expedition to the south is appropriate at this time, in his heart, there is a big question mark.

Tang Zhengquan repeatedly asked for his life, but Chen Haotian couldn't resist him, so he came to visit today because he wanted to discuss countermeasures with Tang Zhengquan face to face.

After Tang Zhengquan sat down, he said with a grateful face: "The king doesn't blame the minister's sins, and he still can't forget the old minister's body, the old minister is really ashamed!"

Chen Haotian held Tang Zhengquan's hand, and a layer of moisture covered his eyes.

"Zhengquan, you and I have been together for many years, sharing weal and woe, and weal and woe, do you still need to say these foreign words?

Tang Zhengquan wiped the corners of his eyes and said in a deep voice: "What the king is worried about, the old minister has already thought about it repeatedly. The king, the old minister was just in a hurry, and accidentally fell into the devil, now the demon has been removed, the body is no longer in serious trouble, and it will not affect the leading troops to go out on the expedition, this point, please rest assured. ”

Tang Zhengquan paused for a moment, pondered for a moment, and continued: "As for what Tianwei Kingdom did, its real intention was to hold us back. However, the king can rest assured, the most important oath in the fairy world, the alliance between Tianwei and our country, Xiao Xiangyi will not dare to tear up the alliance easily. ”

"You must know that the Three Kingdoms are weak and the Tian Yuan is strong, and the Three Kingdoms can only work together to resist the threat of the Tian Yuan Kingdom. The old minister expected that she was just bluffing, and she would not dare to invade our country easily, and give Tianyuan Kingdom an opportunity to take advantage of in vain. ”

Tang Zhengquan finally said: "Great King, Mu Jinyun has been breathing for a long time, if they are allowed to continue to develop, it will be even more difficult to destroy Nan. As soon as the army arrives, it will wipe out the chaotic party and help the king dominate the mountains and rivers, and ask the king to allow the old minister to lead the troops to go out on the expedition!"

Chen Haotian was moved by the old prime minister's words, and said with some excitement: "Zhengquan said well, it is this king who is afraid, this king allows you to lead the troops to help this king recover the south of Tianrui!"

In fact, Tang Zhengquan's heart is very awkward, if not for anything else, just for the nondescript Tianrui Country name, he always feels harsh when he hears it, and he twists his mouth when he says it.

It is necessary to retrace here that before changing the name of the country, Chen Haotian had discussed this matter with the ministers at the court meeting.

As expected, as soon as this proposal was thrown, there was an uproar in the court, and the civil and military ministers were immediately divided into two factions.

One faction supports the change of the country name, after all, Tianze's country name specifically refers to the old dynasty in the past, and if the old country name is continued to be used, it seems a little incorrect and unreasonable.

In addition, Mu Jinyun has already established himself in Southern Seven Prefectures, and he still uses the country name of Tianze.

If Chen Haotian continues to use the old country name, it is easy for the opponent to seize the handle in terms of orthodoxy, and then make a big fuss, so that his side is morally inferior.

After all, everyone knows how this throne came about, and now that the lord is back, who is the genuine and who is the fake, at a glance.

Rather than being held on to this matter by Mu Jinyun, it is better to make a parting as soon as possible, lest the opponent take advantage of this to shake the determination of the northerners.

The other faction had the opposite opinion, believing that the name of the country should not be changed, and Tang Zhengquan was the leading figure of this faction.

When he heard that Chen Haotian planned to change the country name, Tang Zhengquan rushed to attend the court meeting despite the fact that his body had not yet recovered.

The old prime minister made a passionate speech in the court, and directly stated the disadvantages of changing the country name from three aspects.

First, in the long run, the benefits of changing the country name outweigh the disadvantages, but in the short term, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. After the overall situation is calmed down and the country is reunified, it is beyond reproach to change the name of the country in order to distinguish it from the previous dynasty, which is a long-term thing to do, but it is too early to do so.

The country is currently in a state of division, and many of the northerners have a heart for Tianze, and changing the name of the country will push their sense of belonging to the south, which is a short-term disadvantage.

Second, the new dynasty and the old dynasty are at a critical moment of contention with each other, and the two sides will soon have an all-out confrontation. If we continue to adhere to the old name, it seems that it is morally easy to be seized by the south, but in fact it is not.

The moral struggle between the north and the south is nothing more than a battle of who is orthodox, and if they can make a fuss, we can do it, and it does not have much impact on the situation.

In fact, the rivalry between Chen Haotian and Mu Jinyun can also be understood as a family matter. If the name of the country is changed, the family affair becomes a state affair, and the family feud becomes a national feud, and the country is split from the others, it will be morally shorter.

Third, the Tianze Kingdom signed an alliance with the Tianwei Kingdom and the Tiansui Kingdom, agreeing not to invade each other, to join forces with each other, and to jointly resist the threat of the Tianyuan Kingdom.

If the name of the country is changed, it is uncertain whether the two countries will still be able to abide by the covenant, whether they will recognize our new identity, and whether they will renew their oath with us.

You must know that the army of Tianwei is stationed near the border, if it is in the name of helping our allies to quell the rebellion, how should we deal with it if we are attacked in the north and south?

In fact, Tang Zhengquan has one of the most important reasons that he has not said.

This reason is that under the premise of a Tianze country, this battle is actually a struggle for the throne between uncles and nephews.

To put it simply, the uncle and nephew fought against each other in order to compete for the throne.

As far as the civil and military forces on both sides are concerned, neither of them is guilty of treason, and they do not distinguish between loyalty and treachery, but they have different positions and belong to two different masters.

In the future, no matter who gains power, everyone can continue to eat Tianze's meal.

He also has a good intention to leave a way back for his colleagues.

It's a pity that these idiots, a bunch of fools, are still dancing there, foaming at the mouth, supporting Chen Haotian to change the country name.

You must know that after changing the name of the country, for everyone, it is equivalent to betraying the Tianze Kingdom, and there is only one way to win.

Once the general trend is gained by that side, hehe, since ancient times, there have been several kings who have been broad-minded about those who rebel against the country.

This treason is forgivable, treason is inevitable, it is not easy for everyone to practice, why not leave an extra way for yourself.

Of course, this reason is very disobedient, Tang Zhengquan can't say it, let alone dare to say it.

Even Tang Zhengquan suspected that the king wanted to change the name of the country at this time, just to tie the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty tightly to his chariot.

After the change of the country name, everyone has no possibility of getting off except to follow Chen Haotian to the death.

Tang Zhengquan's words made the courtiers speechless.

The first and second reasons can still be refuted, and the third reason is really unsolvable, no matter how capable they are, they can't be the lord of Tianwei and Tiansui.

The old prime minister is right, changing the country name at this time is equivalent to tearing up the old covenant.

For those two countries, Tianrui is a new dynasty, whether they will recognize the new dynasty, whether they will help Mu Jinyun under the banner of the covenant, who can say for sure.

You must know that Tianwei Guo has bad intentions, once Xiao Xiangyi takes the opportunity to make trouble, will this result... Gee!

The noisy court was quiet again, and the ministers tightened their eyebrows and did not say a word.
