The empress disliked my achievements for overshadowing her own, so she turned her attention to the N

Chapter 1: King of Zhenbei

"Have you heard? The Prince of Zhenbei has won another battle!"

"Of course I know. Chen Nan is the only non-royal prince in our Great Qian Dynasty. He has already been granted the title of Nine Pearls, and has reached the point where he can be granted no further titles!"

"Now that we have returned in triumph, I wonder how Her Majesty the Empress will respond!"

The Great Qian Dynasty.

Taisho Palace.

Chen Nan, clad in black armor, head held high and chest puffed out, had just entered the resplendent palace when a shrill shout rang in his ears:

"Prince Zhenbei! How dare you!"

"As a subject, how dare he enter the palace in armor to meet the emperor!"

"Are you planning to rebel because you've won a battle?"

As soon as he finished speaking, two rows of black-clad warriors rushed out from behind the golden dragon-carved pillars of the palace and quickly surrounded Chen Nan.

They were all incredibly fierce, their swords pointed directly at the renowned Prince of Zhenbei!

Chen Nan remained unusually calm.

He looked up at the center of the hall.

High above, on a golden dragon throne, sat a woman in a dragon robe with exquisite and beautiful features, her beauty unparalleled, exuding an ultimate majesty.

At this moment, her pretty face was frosty as she stared coldly at him.

Women are the emperors of the Great Qian Dynasty!

She was also the only female emperor in the history of this dynasty!

—Wu Fengluan!

Beside the Empress stood a slick-haired, powdered-faced man with a fawning expression—her latest favorite!

This man's name is Jiang Hai. If it were before, he wouldn't even be worthy of carrying Chen Nan's shoes!

But now, even a dog like this dares to bark!

Clearly, things have changed!

Noticing the Empress's sharp gaze, Chen Nan replied disdainfully, "Wearing armor to court was ordered by Her Majesty this morning. How dare you reprimand me?"

Jiang Hai sneered and turned to ask Wu Fengluan, "Your Majesty, may I ask if this is true?"

Wu Fengluan shook her head.

Jiang Hai immediately said smugly, "Well done, you Prince of Zhenbei! How dare you deceive the emperor in front of His Majesty!"

"According to the laws of the Great Qian Dynasty, the Prince of Zhenbei should at least be dismissed from his post, flogged sixty times, and exiled to Lingnan; at worst..."

Jiang Hai chuckled twice, his eyes gleaming with malice: "They should immediately be executed outside the Meridian Gate!!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present frowned.

The samurai looked at each other in bewilderment.

The renowned Prince of Zhenbei was convicted just like that?

For a moment, the hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

After a long silence, a cold voice rang out:

"I am already aware of the great achievement of the Prince of Zhenbei, who led a surprise attack on the Qian Yuan Dynasty with eight hundred soldiers, causing them to suffer a crushing defeat."

"However, since you brought armor to the palace today, which is an act of deceiving the emperor, I am reluctant to punish you too harshly, considering your past achievements."

"To atone for my sins, I will send you to garrison the Lingnan region."

"Unsummoned, you are never to return to the capital!"

Wu Fengluan's voice was devoid of any warmth.

Chen Nan smiled softly.

When the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked!

When all the birds are gone, the good bow is put away!

Chen Nan hadn't expected this day to come.

But he never expected it to come so quickly.

It's so funny.

He was dealing with a powerful minister who had achieved great merit and posed a threat to the emperor, possessed numerous military achievements, and held military power.

Wu Fengluan actually arranged such a baseless and absurd show!

He even allowed a male favorite to shout in the main hall.

That's absolutely incredibly stupid!

Chen Nan felt truly ashamed that he had taught such a disciple!

That's right!

apprentice!

Chen Nan is not from this world.

He transmigrated here and obtained a system for famous ministers.

As long as he assists the court and governs the world, he can continuously improve his cultivation skills and gradually embark on the path of cultivation!

His first role was Wu Fengluan!

Five years ago, the late emperor was assassinated, plunging the Great Qian Dynasty into chaos. He defied public opinion and supported Wu Fengluan's ascension to the throne.

For the next five years, he governed the country internally and personally led military campaigns abroad, winning many battles.

This led to the temporary prosperity of the Great Qian Dynasty!

Both in terms of military and civilian life, it has long surpassed any peak period in history!

Chen Nan was granted the title of Prince Zhenbei!

He was granted the title of Nine Pearls! He was also the only king of the opposite sex!

After that, he was further promoted to General of the Heavenly Strategy!

At present, there are four other countries in the surrounding area: Northern Wei, Southern Tang, Eastern Qin, and Western Shu. These four countries are evenly matched in strength, but each has its own strengths. Northern Wei is warlike, Southern Tang is good at literature, Eastern Qin produces extraordinary people and talents, and Western Shu is an economic powerhouse.

Because the Great Qian Dynasty is located in the center, the other four countries form a circle around it, and have always been eyeing it covetously.

Because of the presence of the Prince of Zhenbei, the other four kingdoms have never dared to make any rash moves.

But now——

"You're too impatient!" Chen Nan said with regret, as if he were looking at a good-for-nothing apprentice.

Perhaps it was that look in his eyes that angered Wu Fengluan.

Her expression immediately changed, and she said in a grim tone, "I am the Emperor, and what I say is right is right!"

"Even without you, I can still sit firmly on the throne!"

"Why is it that three dynasties have remembered only your name!"

"Why should the people only support you?!"

"I want the whole world to know that I am the true master of the Great Qian Dynasty!"

"How can anyone else be allowed to snore beside the emperor's bed!"

"With you, my throne will be unstable!"

"If you truly value the bond between master and disciple, then relinquish your military power and garrison Lingnan for me!"

Chen Nan sighed deeply.

"Enough! Enough!"

He was just a little regretful.

This dynasty is just one step away from achieving its greatest glory!

What a pity!

If he harbored any disloyal intentions, he only needed to raise his arms and shout, and in an instant, he could transform this dynasty!

Unfortunately.

Chen Nanzhi is not here!

From beginning to end, all he wanted to do was complete the system's tasks.

Unexpectedly, he was betrayed by his own apprentice.

Further discussion is pointless!

Chen Nan was a decisive and ruthless person who disliked procrastination.

The facts are already set. If they rebel, there will inevitably be widespread suffering and death. He doesn't want to see everything he created with his own hands overturned.

It's better to leave gracefully!

Anyway, after all these years, he's tired of it, just like going to work.

Enjoying a leisurely and carefree life has its own unique charm!

"Then so be it!"

"I, the King, relinquish my military power!"

"We will leave the capital today to guard the border!"

After saying that, he pulled a lump of iron from his chest and threw it on the ground.

The samurai went closer and were immediately startled!

That thing was shaped like a tiger!

If it's not the tiger tally that can mobilize all the troops in the land, then what is it?

It is something that countless people in the world dream of.

So many bloody wars were fought for it!
