The emperor faked his death? Never mind, I will ascend the throne directly!

Seeing that Li Chengfeng was so wary of him, Xiong Kuohai thought: I won't help you with anything regarding the Changsheng Sect.

He was not even allowed to try a rioter, so how could he care about the Changsheng Sect?

Sitting quietly in his mansion, Xiong Kuohai watched He Sheng and Chen Tingshu busying themselves.

At this moment, he suddenly received a letter

Xiong Kuohai stared with his eyes wide open, his beard trembling slightly with his heavy breathing. He clenched the letter in his hand so tightly that his knuckles turned white from the force.

The handwriting on the letter is sloppy, but the force can be seen through the back of the paper.

It was a letter given to him by several officials in the northern border who had close relations with the late emperor.

It says.

The late emperor left a secret decree ordering him to assist the new emperor.

He scratched his messy hair irritably and paced back and forth in the room.

A fierce inner struggle.

On the one hand, there is the loyalty to the late emperor for many years, and on the other hand, there is dissatisfaction with Li Chengfeng.

The two emotions collided, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

"Humph, this kid is lucky. The late emperor paved a very broad road for him."

Xiong Kuohai spoke to himself in a rough voice, with a barely perceptible hint of jealousy in his tone.

"The ancestral system is the ancestral system, how can it be changed at will! Even if it is really the will of the late emperor, this young emperor is acting too erratically!"

The teapot was slammed heavily on the table, but his emotions still did not dissipate.

At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door.

"General, General He Sheng requests to see you." The voice of the guard came from outside the door.

"Let him in." Xiong Kuohai said, trying to calm his fluctuating emotions.

He Sheng walked into the room and saw the mess inside. He couldn't help but frowned slightly: "General Xiong, this is..."

After ordering his subordinates to handle all this, Xiong Kuohai waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to ask any more questions.

He asked as he led He Sheng to the desk.

"What's the matter?"

Frowning at everything in front of him, He Sheng took the military order sent by Li Chengfeng and said, "His Majesty has ordered us to cooperate with you in wiping out the Changsheng Cult."

At this time, Xiong Kuohai's emotions had calmed down.

"Your Majesty is so powerful, but the officials you sent can't even handle these trivial matters?"

Hearing this, He Sheng sternly rebuked, "General Xiong, watch your words!"

He was just saying this now to vent his anger. He really had to take care of the stability of Qian Country, Xiong Kuohai said finally.

"Your Majesty has given an order, and I dare not disobey. I will cooperate with you."

After getting his guarantee, He Sheng left Xiong's house.

After returning to the county government office, he told Chen Tingshu what happened.

Seeing He Sheng coming back, Chen Tingshu put down his pen, looked up and asked, "What did General Xiong say?"

He Sheng thought about what Xiong Kuohai said and said, "General Xiong has agreed to cooperate with us."

"But he actually spoke rudely to His Majesty."

Hearing this, Chen Tingshu shook his head and said, "It's to be expected. General Xiong was loyal to the late emperor, and now he's obeying the new emperor. Naturally, he's dissatisfied."

He stood up and walked to the window, looking at the lush sycamore tree in the yard, wondering how to respond.

After a while, he turned around, looked at He Sheng and said, "The matter of Xiong Kuohai still needs to be reported to His Majesty so that His Majesty can be prepared."

Then he walked to the desk, picked up a pen, and wrote down a few coping strategies on a piece of paper.

After writing down Xiong Kuohai's attitude and my own thoughts one by one.

Chen Tingshu dried the paper, folded it, and called a trusted guard over: "Send this letter to the palace and present it to the emperor immediately. There is no delay."

The guard took the letter, took orders and left, quickly disappearing into the night.

The situation in the North is tense now.

The northern border is ready to make moves, and the northern border is unstable internally.

I hope Xiong Kuohai can understand the principle of defending against external enemies first and then dealing with domestic affairs.

Outside the county government office, the night was silent.

……

Inside the palace, Li Chengfeng was reviewing memorials in the imperial study.

After reading Chen Tingshu's letter, Li Chengfeng was also a little surprised.

Based on his understanding of Xiong Kuohai, he should not agree so readily.

But the current situation was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Did someone tell him something?

Li Chengfeng put down the letter, picked up the imperial pen, and wrote a few lines on the blank imperial edict.

After writing, he handed the imperial edict to the guards and said, "Send it back to the northern border immediately and give it to Chen Tingshu."

It would be best if he doesn't cause trouble, but if he has the intention to cause unrest, he cannot be kept.

The next day, Li Chengfeng summoned Song Yuwei to discuss matters.

Handing the letter in his hand to Song Yuwei, Li Chengfeng pointed at it and said.

"You should also take a look at what's happening in the northern border."

After reading it, Song Yuwei didn't say anything, but just tapped the words on it.

After a while, she said, "Your Majesty, seeing that the war between the Northern Border and the Northern Frontier is about to break out, it is a good thing for General Xiong to express his attitude at this time."

"That's a good thing, but I always feel that this is not General Xiong's true attitude."

"Well, maybe I'm just overthinking it."

It was really sudden, without any warning.

Without dwelling on this matter any more, Li Chengfeng instructed Song Yuwei.

"Please pay more attention to the affairs of the northern border and cooperate with Chen Tingshu to get things done."

"I will obey the imperial edict." Song Yuwei replied.

After saying that, Li Chengfeng waved his hand and let Song Yuwei leave.

……

After this incident, Xiong Kuohai sent people to assist He Sheng and Chen Tingshu.

Seeing the Changsheng Sect's strongholds being dug out one by one, Qi Daokun could no longer sit still.

He secretly discussed with the King of Northern Frontier, wanting Northern Frontier to send troops to attack the northern border of Qian Kingdom.

In the study, the candlelight was dim, and half of Qi Daokun's body was shrouded in darkness.

Seeing the person coming in, he asked, "Any news from the King of Northern Frontier?"

A guard who had just entered bowed and replied, "Prime Minister, the King of Northern Frontier has replied, saying that if you keep your promise, he will send troops immediately."

The greed of the people is endless. The appetite of the King of Northern Frontier is bigger than he imagined. Not only does he want money, he even wants to get involved in the Qian Kingdom.

Looking at the message in front of him, Qi Daokun couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Hmph, once I accomplish my mission, this world will be mine. I don't care about the Northern Frontier King or the Southern Frontier King."

The last failure did not make him retreat. Qi Daokun looked at the defense map in front of him.

"Li Chengfeng, you are still too young after all. You won't be able to sit on the throne for long!"

After the person who came to deliver the letter left, Qi Daokun called over several subordinates dressed in black.

"Once the war breaks out in the northern border, the capital will be left empty. You can take advantage of this opportunity."

A man in black clasped his fists and said, "Master, rest assured. I will do my best to complete the mission."

Two days later, the King of Northern Frontier received a handwritten letter from Qi Daokun. The letter was sincere and attached a letter of commitment to cede three cities in the northern border of Qian Kingdom.

After reading the letter, the King of Northern Frontier laughed out loud and slammed the letter on the table.

This old fox actually agreed to his request so easily.

Overwhelmed by joy, he immediately came to his subordinates

"Good! Qi Daokun is indeed a man of his word! Come, gather the troops and send them to the northern border of Qian Kingdom immediately!"

At a command, the northern frontier army marched towards the border of Qian Kingdom in a mighty force.
