Dressed as the prince's substitute? I took the throne

"A letter from Liang Country?"

Zhou Chuxuan took it gently, opened it and looked through it, then frowned slightly, pondered for a while, folded it up, and clenched his teeth.

"Your Highness, what happened?"

He Jian had been hanging out with Lao Yang these days, chatting about Zhou Chuxuan's past, and naturally knew that Zhou Chuxuan was going to Liang State to marry the princess.

Zhou Chuxuan breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "The Crown Prince of Baoxiang Kingdom in the Western Regions is also leading a team to Liang Kingdom to marry the princess. Now Liang Kingdom is in a dilemma, and we need to come up with a solution!"

He Jian was immediately furious when he heard this: "How dare these small nations in the Western Regions do this? Your Highness, we will lead our troops directly to the Western Regions and teach those small nations a lesson. Let's see if they dare to do this again!"

Zhou Chuxuan shook his head gently: "Let's go back to the East Palace and make plans later!"

"Lao Yang, take the military order and head outside the city. Move all the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to station outside the city, and do not leave the capital!"

"Also, I hereby issue three military orders! First, no groups of people may enter the city to cause trouble! Second, no one may oppress the people or act tyrannically! Third, no beating, scolding, or causing trouble in the barracks!"

"If anyone plots rebellion, he will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes!"

When I returned to the East Palace again, the bedroom had been rebuilt and was much simpler than before.

Xu Hanyan was still sitting in front of the bronze mirror, fixing her makeup. There was also another person, Qiao'er, in the room, tidying up the bedding.

"General He, from now on, the house next to the bedroom will be yours!"

He Jian insisted on living with him, and Zhou Chuxuan had no choice but to arrange a house for him in the East Palace.

Zhou Chuxuan casually threw the letter in front of Xu Hanyan: "Look, my rival is coming?"

Xu Hanyan picked up the letter doubtfully, opened it and took a look, an intriguing look on her face.

"It seems your trip to Liang Kingdom didn't go very smoothly! The small countries in the Western Regions have united to attack the Western Regions of our Wu Dynasty, and it is said that the leader is this Baoxiang Kingdom!"

"The Crown Princess's intelligence network is really extensive! Even I didn't know this!" Zhou Chuxuan sat next to Xu Hanyan with a smile.

A pair of hands slowly climbed up Xu Hanyan's waist dishonestly and pushed upwards: "Well, I wonder if the Crown Princess has any good suggestions?"

Xu Hanyan was slightly startled, then chuckled: "You have tens of thousands of troops under your command, and you can defeat the elite cavalry of the Northern Desert. Can't you defeat the small country in the Western Regions?"

Zhou Chuxuan's mouth twitched wildly: "Why do you have the same idea as General He Jian?"

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Xu Hanyan tilted her head slightly and asked in confusion.

"Of course not! I previously mobilized the army to punish traitors like Li Nian, but now that Li Nian has been killed, if I continue to mobilize the army, will my father directly accuse me of usurping the throne?"

Zhou Chuxuan casually picked up a grape from the table and put it into his mouth without even peeling it: "And among these troops, only the personal soldiers are sincerely submissive to me!"

"Oh, by the way, what about the soldiers in Fuling Mountain?" Speaking of the army, Zhou Chuxuan suddenly remembered this.

"It was fine before. Didn't you already place them outside the city?"

Xu Hanyan frowned slightly. "It's just that they have extremely bad tempers and are always quarreling with soldiers from other armies! I'm worried that if we keep them together with other armies for a long time, there will be chaos!"

"They were originally conquered by you, so maybe they only listen to you. As for others, I'm afraid that's not the case..."

Before Xu Hanyan could finish her words, Lao Yang was already knocking on the door outside in a hurry: "Your Highness, something bad has happened!"

"Those people in Fuling Mountain are starting to cause trouble!"

"What?" Zhou Chuxuan stood up suddenly.

......

Outside the capital.

barracks.

Ma Sandao led dozens of his men, drew their swords, and pointed them at the soldiers on the opposite side: "Mad, it was clearly your soldiers who were rude and rude, stealing our things, and now you want to beat us up?"

"Grandpa will chop you bastards into pieces!"

Han Bin watched from behind with his arms folded across his chest, but did not step forward to stop them. His eyes were full of coldness and dissatisfaction.

These court officials and soldiers are just like those corrupt officials, tyrannical and greedy. They are so annoying!

If it weren't for the promise he made to Zhou Chuxuan, Han Bin would have brought his men back to Fuling Mountain long ago.

"Damn, you are a bunch of bandits, and you dare to wear the clothes of the government army? Ugh!"

"If it weren't for the Crown Prince's kindness and generosity, I would have wiped you out long ago! How could I have allowed you to act so presumptuously until now?"

"What did you say?" Ma Sandao shouted sternly, the anger in his heart was completely ignited. He broke free from the restraints of the soldiers next to him and swung his sword.

puff!

The soldier on the opposite side was no match for Ma Sandao's martial arts skills. He didn't even have time to dodge and was split in half in an instant.

Blood soaked the ground, and the surroundings suddenly became dead silent!

The soldiers looked at the troops from Fuling Mountain and roared in anger: "Rebellion! Rebellion! These bandits are rebelling!"

Han Bin obviously didn't expect that Ma Sandao would actually kill the opponent. This was killing government troops, which was equivalent to a provocation to the court.

The key is that they are still outside the capital, surrounded by tens of thousands of imperial troops. Once a real attack breaks out, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Kill these bandits, kill them!"

Just as the two sides were on the verge of a fight, Zhou Chuxuan's voice came: "Stop!"

Zhou Chuxuan strode into the crowd and looked at the scene with a gloomy face. From the city gate, he saw that the place was crowded and noisy.

I rushed over as fast as I could, but unexpectedly something happened!

"Your Highness, these bandits from Fuling Mountain have been causing trouble and even attacking and killing our soldiers!"

"Your Highness, these bandits are intent on rebellion. They must be killed on the spot!"

"Shut up, everyone!"

Zhou Chuxuan frowned and looked deeply at the people from Fuling Mountain present. Each of them had murderous intent on their face, as if they would take action at the next moment.

He knew very well that if this matter was not handled properly, it would cause rebellion among the people of Fuling Mountain.

Their rebellion was a small matter, but there were many people who occupied the mountains and became kings in the world. If they all knew about the court's tyrannical and overbearing behavior, the Wu Dynasty would become more unstable in the future.

Zhou Chuxuan slowly walked up to Han Bin. Before he could say anything, Han Bin said, "Your Highness, are you going to kill us?"

Ma Sandao stood beside Han Bin, holding the hilt tightly, his neck held high. "Your Highness, everyone is responsible for their own actions. I just don't like those sons of bitches, so I'll chop them up!"

"If you want to kill someone, kill me alone!"

Zhou Chuxuan nodded slowly: "Come here, arrest Ma Sandao! Take him to the prison!"
