Abandoned Prince: Summon the Sword God at the beginning

The news of the King of Chu's death soon reached the capital. The emperor was overjoyed upon hearing it, but the crown prince was still unsatisfied. It was too boring that the King of Chu was killed by his subordinates before he could even lead the army in person.

The Jingnan Army returned empty-handed halfway through the journey, and the people of Qi and Lu sang and danced to celebrate the death of the King of Chu. Since the rebellion, the place where Zhao Di had caused the most harm for the longest time was the land of Qi and Lu.

After the rebellion was eliminated, the Emperor of Daxia temporarily summoned all his ministers to hold a court meeting to reward them according to their merits. The first meritorious minister was the Crown Prince. Although the King of Chu did not die directly at his hands, without the great victory of the Crown Prince's personal army, the King of Chu's generals would not have been so desperate and killed their master so quickly.

As for the second hero of the Chu King Rebellion, he killed the Chu King's general Chen Youliang. At the court, the ministers had different opinions on this man. The chief minister of the cabinet said: "Chen Youliang is a treacherous villain who sells out his master for fame. If he is not killed, it will not be enough to deter the villains."

Crown Prince Li Jiao said, "I don't agree with you. Although Chen Youliang's moral conduct was not good, the Chu King's Rebellion ended early because of him, and many civilians were saved. From this point of view, Chen Youliang did a great good deed invisibly. For the court, there is no need to send a large army to conquer, which not only reduces casualties, but also saves the court's treasury silver."

The Great Xia Emperor smiled and said, "What the Crown Prince said is exactly what I want. Although Chen Youliang once joined the rebellion, he deserves a reward for personally killing the rebel king Zhao Di. I will appoint him as the commander of the left guard of Liangzhou to make up for his crime and make meritorious contributions!"

Once the emperor had made the final decision, the ministers would no longer express their own opinions, as doing so would be tantamount to singing a different tune from the emperor.

Afterwards, the emperor read out a list of names of meritorious officers. General Chen Feibao of Jingnan, head of the Military Intelligence Department Shangguan Wan'er, first-rank military marquis Fang Xuanwu and other generals who participated in the war were all rewarded.

At the court meeting, the emperor announced that the crown prince would no longer be in charge of the army, but would continue to be regent. Although ministers from Concubine Cao's faction were willing to oppose it, they were hindered by the fact that the crown prince being regent was the ancestral system of the Great Xia Dynasty.

In the Imperial Study Room of the Great Xia Palace, Emperor Weilie looked at the secret report sent by the Jinyiwei and could not help but frowning. He said to the eunuch Lu Chuanyun beside him: "Daban, don't you think it's good for Prince Fu and other princes to be princes of the court peacefully? They have to follow the example of Prince Chu and commit rebellion. Do they really think I am a tyrant?"

Lu Chuanyun, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department, said: "Your Majesty, the ancients said: The greed of mankind is like a snake swallowing an elephant.

Prince Fu and other vassals were already extremely extravagant and enjoyed all the wealth and luxury of others, but the word power was the most appealing to them. They also wanted to sit in the Golden Palace and experience the thrill of being an emperor.

The King of Chu proclaimed himself emperor and served as the fake emperor of the Great Chu for a few days, but he paid the price with his life. With the lessons learned from the past, they should not take the risk again.

But the death of the King of Chu was based on the principle of "A fellow Taoist would rather die than I do", and they all felt that they were stronger and luckier than the King of Chu.

Especially Prince Fu, whose fiefdom is in Zhongzhou, with hundreds of thousands of acres of land and countless silver and money. He is the richest prince in Daxia, and his annual income is more than that of the imperial court."

Emperor Weilie said: "Let the Royal Guards investigate which ministers are so close to Prince Fu."

Lu Chuanyun said respectfully: "I obey your command and will arrange it right away."

Just as Lu Chuanyun was about to leave the imperial study, Emperor Weilie's voice came: "It's time to replace the local officials of Jiangnan Province. Those old guys have made enough money from the imperial court's financial resources, but they still won't stop. I have no choice but to cut off their dirty hands."

A few days later, the loyalists of the Prince of Chu, Prince of Fu and other vassal kings in Jiangnan Province were quietly dealt with one by one by the Jinyiwei. Commander Lu Bing personally supervised the matter. After the task was completed, he presented a secret report to the emperor.
