Chapter 172: General Chu (End)

Previous Chapter

The news that Jiang Wuxian did Yan Chen and Chu He's third brother soon spread throughout Dachong Pass. Of course, his own propaganda naturally contributed to it.

Whether it is in public or in private, as long as Jiang Wuxian sees the two of them, he immediately calls the eldest brother and the second brother affectionately, without any ideological burden.

Yan Chen naturally regretted his whim proposal, but what the eldest husband said was the water that was spilled, so he could only pinch his nose and recognize the third brother.

And Chu He doesn't matter, in this world, except for Yan Chen, he already trusts Jiang Wuxian the most, and he has experienced so much together, he should also be given the title of "third brother".

The news of Chu He's awakening soon spread throughout Dachong Pass, and there was an endless stream of people who came to visit every day.

Although Chu He was afraid of this kind of entertainment scene, Jiang Wuxian insisted that he receive it in person.

Jiang Wuxian told Chu He that his succession as general was already a certainty, not only did Xu Conghu publicly state that he would withdraw from the competition, but the imperial court had also relented.

The former prince accompanied Zhu Gong and met Jiang Wuxian several times in private.

And on behalf of the imperial court, he has promised that as long as Chu He can wake up and his health is fine, the court will definitely support him and take over Chen Shi's position.

Wang Du's Little General's Mansion has also been reopened, and there is a lot of traffic in front of the door, receiving greetings from people from all walks of life.

The Liang army has changed its course and changed its banner to a new master, and it is already ready to fly.

The fast snow knife that Yan Chen sent has also been sent back. And the one who personally presented the knife to Chu He with both hands was the third tiger of the Hundred Tiger Battalion, Du Hai.

Du Hai took the opportunity to return the knife and had a secret conversation with Chu He for an hour.

In the end, the third elder of the Hundred Tiger Battalion swore to follow Chu He, the future lord of Liangzhou.

But Du Hai also bluntly said that he could only represent his own loyalty, not the other people in the Hundred Tiger Battalion, especially the existence of Shazhuang Tuo.

Later, Chu He asked him about the fast snow knife, but he didn't expect that on the battlefield at that time, the soldier of the Hundred Tiger Battalion who accidentally received the knife lost an arm in order to protect it, and now he is still healing, although he barely saved his life, but he will definitely say goodbye to his military career in the future.

Chu He told Du Hai that he was going to visit when the brother's injuries had healed.

Du Hai naturally readily agreed.

After sending Du Hai away, Chu He immediately found Jiang Wuxian and asked him to arrange a drinking party and invite Xu Conghu alone.

Xu Conghu is also a cheerful person, after receiving the invitation, he did not twist, let alone hide it, and went to the banquet of the Chu River on time.

The two of them drank this meal all night, and there was no way for outsiders to know what they talked about, and even the two of them may not remember it clearly, because they drank too much wine.

Early the next morning, Chu He told Jiang Wuxian that Xu Conghu was already their own person and there was no need to be wary of it.

Jiang Wuxian didn't get to the bottom of it, he had a blind trust in Chu He's words.

While the Chu Party was in full swing preparing for the succession, Chen Shi's beggar bone documents had also been placed on the emperor's table.

Chen Shi's resignation document did not indicate that he hoped Chu He would succeed him, but this was also a method of retreating to avoid making the old emperor suspicious.

As the leader of the imperial family, it is his duty to be afraid of Chen Shi. But from his personal emotional point of view, if it weren't for Chen Shizhen guarding Dachong Pass over the years, it would be difficult for him to sleep a few nights peacefully.

For Chen Shi, he is grateful.

In this resignation document, Chen Shi revealed the idea of going to Quanzhou for retirement. The old emperor thought that in a few years, while he could still walk around the road, he went to Quanzhou to visit.

There were some words that he had been holding in his heart for a long time. But because of the position of the two, they have met many times, always upholding the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, and have not said anything to each other.

has been an emperor for a lifetime, has few friends, in his heart, Chen Shi is an old buddy, an old buddy, if you have the opportunity, you must have a few drinks with him, and talk with him at night.

In the thirty-first year of Pingyang, the eighth day of February.

The general manager of the Inner Palace, Huang Case, held the holy decree in his hand, traveled thousands of miles from Mudu and arrived at Dachong Pass.

In the main hall of the General's Mansion, on the platform of Huang Xiangao, the holy decree was read.

"Fengtian carried the emperor, and said: Chen Shi, the general of Liangzhou, sat in the west for half his life, guarded my great land, protected my great cadres, and made great achievements. Now the general is in the twilight, and the beggar bones return home. Up and down the court, I can't help but feel nostalgic. Every time I think of this, I feel especially reluctant. However, the manpower is exhausted, and sometimes he is scattered, even if he is unwilling, he still reluctantly agrees. Ten thousand gold, all year round. Chin this. ”

"Minister, thank you for Your Majesty's Longen!"

Chen Shigong kowtowed respectfully, and then raised his hands high.

Huang Case closed the holy decree, then walked down the high platform quickly, stuffed the holy decree into Chen Shi's hand, and whispered: "Old general, Your Majesty asked me to give you a message in private. He said...... He wants to thank you. ”

Chen Shi opened his mouth, but after all, he didn't say anything.

At this time, Huang Case put his mouth close to Chen Shi's ear again, and whispered: "The ten thousand taels of gold will be closely guarded in our convoy, and it will be pulled into the mansion later." ”

Chen Shi also replied in a low voice: "Gonggong Huang has worked hard all the way, and there will be heavy thanks later." ”

Seeing Chen Shi doing this, Huang Case nodded happily, then cleared his throat, looked at the high-level Liangjun who was kneeling in the inner hall, and said, "There is another holy decree, which will be read." ”

Everyone knows it's time for the big thing.

"Fengtian carried the emperor, and said: Chu He, the general army of Liangzhou, assisted the first general Chen Shi, and led the Liang army, fought viciously against the enemy, and repeatedly performed miraculous feats. This time the army was broken, and the king was awarded the head, which can be called the first victory of our great cadres in the past 100 years. Such a feat, if you don't enter the official rank, it is not enough for the people to discuss, let alone comfort the hearts of the army. Therefore, Chu He, the special commander-in-chief, took over the position of general of Liangzhou. General Wangchuhe, following the ambition of General Chen Shi, will resist the thieves, protect the people, and make new achievements! Chin this. ”

"Minister, thank you for Your Majesty's Longen!" Chu He raised his hands and took the holy decree brought by Huang Case.

All the people kneeling in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.

Regarding the succession of Chu He, they have been preparing for a long time, if the imperial court makes some moths at this time, it will definitely be a big mess.

Fortunately, the officials and gentlemen in the court, although they all eat with fat brains, their hearts and eyes are still very lively, and no one dares to obstruct Chu He's smooth succession.

From this moment on, Chu He succeeded as the general of Liangzhou, and the dust finally settled.

Nearly 400,000 Liangzhou troops, all under his command. The prosperity of power is at least among the top five in the country.

Yan Chen, who had always been standing outside the hall and listening attentively, smiled slightly, turned around and went back to the courtyard.

After receiving the two holy decrees, Chen Shi took the Huang case and went to see his ten thousand taels of gold, leaving the place to Chu River.

"Xu Conghu, meet General Chu!"

At this time, all the people standing in the hall were the highest level of the Liang Army. Seeing that Xu Conghu took the lead, others were no longer reserved.

Everyone knelt on one knee and faced the Chu River.

"Meet General Chu!"
