Chapter 145 I Want to Be the Heavenly Khan
Outside the military camp, resentment is rising!

More than a dozen military officers above the rank of Dusi gathered outside the camp gate and shouted curses with such vulgarity that it was unbearable to hear.

They were originally just collecting money, and only pretended to be sick to save face.

I never thought that I would lose my job.

In the agricultural era, a job that guaranteed a stable income regardless of drought or flood was more competitive and more scarce than in the modern world!
"General."

Liu Xianglian, who was promoted to the head of the personal guards, had an annoyed look on his handsome face. "Those people outside the camp are too noisy. How about arresting them?"

"Why arrest them?" Chen Ran, who was busy compiling training schedules, shook his head repeatedly, "Not only should we not arrest them, we should also reinstate them to their original positions."

"what?!"

Liu Xianglian was horrified. "We have already become enemies, how can we let them return to their posts?"

"I can tell from the looks of it that you're just a young guy with no experience."

Putting down the pen in his hand, Chen Ran remained calm and said, "If we don't let them return to their posts, they will be civilians in the future. How can we destroy them as soldiers? Only by bringing them in can we take action with justification."

"This." Liu Xianglian was good at martial arts and singing, but he had no experience with these twists and turns. "But their positions are already occupied. What if they come back and cause trouble?"

"It doesn't matter if there are people, just assign two people to the same position."

Chen Ran said proudly, "We want them to cause trouble. How can we destroy them if they don't cause trouble?"

"I have received an imperial decree from the emperor, allowing these people to be reinstated."

"Pass the order down. Assign two people to each position, and each person will be in charge of half. Tell them that the entire battalion will be sent out to fight in a few days. Those who perform well will stay, and those who perform poorly will be kicked out."

Liu Xianglian first obeyed the order out of habit, then raised his doubts, "General, what if these people behave well and stay? Also, if you mobilize more than ten soldiers without the imperial edict, it will be considered treason and the whole battalion will be sent out to fight."

"You have so many questions." Chen Ran said casually, without any accusation. "Let's start from the beginning."

"Since they pretended to be sick to intimidate me, this matter was doomed to fail. If I don't kill them, I won't be able to truly establish my prestige and control the entire camp. Soldiers don't care about big principles, they only care about who can control the life and death of the entire army. So, these people can't come back alive."

"As for the matter of going to war, I have already sent a memorial to the emperor. He has his own arrangements and is not mobilizing troops on his own. In the future, you can ask such questions when you have reached a higher level of status. Do you understand?"

The news that Chen Ran proposed to send troops was no secret in the court.

Everyone, from top to bottom, knows everything they should know.

Everyone also understands that the person who can really make the decision is not the emperor, but the emperor emeritus.

The emperor who has reigned for decades has a strong influence on the Beijing camp.

The reason why Prince Yi Zhong got into trouble back then was that the emperor at that time ordered the Beijing camp not to move!

Even though Jia Daihua, the governor of the Beijing camp at that time, supported the old Prince Yi Zhong, he was unable to mobilize troops into the city.

Everyone felt that the emperor would never agree to send troops just for Chen Ran's military achievements and title, and many people were waiting to see the joke.

Daming Palace.

Dai Quan, the eunuch in charge of the Daming Palace, holding a whisk in his hand, smiled and looked at the painting of the retired emperor and flattered him, "Your Majesty's masterpiece is better than Wu and Yan, and far surpasses Fan and Li. It should be the best in a thousand years."

The emperor, despite his old age, is in extremely good condition.

He squinted his eyes and stroked his beard while smiling, "Just listen to the nice words, I don't take them seriously, and you shouldn't take them seriously either."

Dai Quan laughed and said yes repeatedly.

The emperor lowered his head to admire his own paintings and asked casually, "If you have any questions, just ask."

Dai Quan had served him for decades and knew him very well.

Correspondingly, the emperor also understood this old slave who had served him for decades.

"His Majesty."

Dai Quan lowered his head and spoke carefully, "Recently, there are rumors that Chen Ran, who has switched from a civil servant to a military officer, wants to lead an army to war. Such a ridiculous rumor, but many people take it seriously. If it is not controlled, it may cause gossip."

"It's not a rumor." The emperor replied casually, "I have already agreed."

Dai Quan'(⊙﹏⊙)'

Dai Quan, who has always been good at managing his facial expressions, rarely loses his composure in front of the emperor.

"Feel weird?"

The emperor finally raised his head and looked over with a half-smile in his eyes. "Why do you think I don't want to send troops? You have followed me for many years, but you haven't understood my mind yet, even a young man."

Dai Quan was horrified and bowed his head in haste.

"Dai Quan." The emperor turned and walked towards the dragon throne. "Tell me, what do you think I need now?"

"This..." Dai Quan, whose mind was spinning rapidly, quickly shook his head, "How dare I presume to guess your majesty's intentions."

"Hey."

"You are my confidant, but you dare not even tell the truth to my face." The emperor turned around and sat down on the dragon chair. "But Chen Ran dares to say anything."

Dai Quan was indeed the most trusted confidant of the retired emperor.

The reason is simple. The Dragon Guards, who are responsible for the security of the imperial palace, are all in the hands of Dai Quan.

"He said in his memorial that I only want to do two things now."

"One is to leave a name in history, on par with Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Taizong of Tang. The other is that the world will be at peace."

Dai Quan was really confused now. "Your Majesty, if you send troops to fight, how can there be peace in the world?"

"I'm old." The emperor stroked his wrinkled hands with emotion, "I can feel how many days have passed."

Dai Quan knelt down hurriedly and wanted to say something like "Long live the emperor!", but was interrupted.

"That kid is right. I do care about my reputation after death. Over the past thousand years, there have been hundreds of emperors. But the ones that people remember most are still the Qin Emperor, Han Wudi, Tang Zong and Ming Zu."

The Emperor raised his hand and picked up the tea bowl, saying quietly, "I also want to be as famous as these people a thousand years later!" "Your Majesty has great merits and virtues."

After some customary flattery, Dai Quan was still puzzled, "But if a large-scale military operation is launched, the world will surely be in chaos."

"That guy said that there is no need to mobilize a large army, and one battalion is enough."

"Arrogant!" Dai Quan was furious. "How can military affairs be treated as such a joke?! A battalion of soldiers marching out of the border? Who does he think he is?"

"Over there." The emperor pointed to a table not far away. "His memorial is on the table. Take a look for yourself."

Dai Quan picked up the memorial and read it carefully. After reading it, he looked extremely strange.

"Your Majesty, the grassland is in chaos and the Rakshasas are approaching. Is this true?"

"You have stayed in the palace for too long and don't know what is happening outside." The emperor said solemnly, "A few years ago, a envoy from the grassland tribe came and said that the Luosha people were forcing Ling more and more, and asked the Great Zhou to send troops to rescue them. Now it seems that the Luosha people have become powerful."

"But the Luosha people are not easy to fight." Dai Quan was a little confused. "One battalion of soldiers."

"Look carefully." The emperor was a little impatient. "They said it very clearly. Hold high the banner of the Heavenly Khan and carry out the great cause of the king! In the name of the court, gather all the tribes on the grassland to form an alliance to deal with the Russians."

"The main purpose is to attend the meeting and establish the righteous status of the Great Zhou as the common ruler of the world. Do you really think we are going to fight a national war?"

"If this is accomplished, I will be the Heavenly Khan who is as famous as Emperor Tang!"

Dai Quan moved his mouth, but in the end he didn't dare to say it.

The emperor understood what he meant. "If it doesn't work, I am the emperor, so the responsibility will naturally fall on the fourth son."

"Hiss~~~" Dai Quan was shocked. "But Chen Ran, is..."

"It's the Fourth Master's people." The Emperor raised the tea bowl and said, "Do you think that without the Fourth Master's consent, his memorial could be sent to me?"

"I am an ignorant old servant." Dai Quan really couldn't understand "Your Majesty..."

What he wanted to say was, doesn’t the emperor have any respect?

If success is achieved, the glory goes to the emperor, if failure is achieved, the blame will be on oneself.

Is the emperor crazy?

"Do you know why I chose the fourth son to take the throne?" After taking a sip of tea, the emperor sighed, "He is a capable person."

"He only wants real benefits, not fame. He is capable of doing things. Unlike Lao Liu, who cares too much about fame."

When mentioning the old loyal prince, the emperor also felt sad.

Dai Quan understood now.

The emperor was not stupid, but he was concerned about practical benefits and advocated Chen Ran to take control of the military power.

Now that the alliance was successful, Chen Ran would have legitimate control over the military power, and no one would be able to stop him.

Thinking of this, Dai Quan lowered his head even more, "Your Majesty, if Chen Ran returns with success, he will hold military power."

"It's just a camp."

The emperor's eyes were meaningful. "Do you think all the battalions are loyal to me?"

Aside from gaining fame after death, there was another purpose for agreeing to Chen Ran's dispatch of troops, which was to take the opportunity to test what the Beijing Camp has become now after all the forces from all sides have been trying to get their hands on it for so many years.

He also knew that the Beijing camp was in chaos.

After helping the retired emperor to rest in peace, Dai Quan left the Daming Palace.

Looking at the bright moon above his head, he put away his whisk and whispered, "Chen Ran is a newcomer to the court, how come he is so proficient in the court rules and can even understand the emperor's mind? It's incredible."

The backyard of the East Palace, Huifang Garden.

The ground is covered with yellow flowers, white willows are crisscrossing the slopes, red leaves are turning brightly, and the sparse forest is picturesque.

In the original novel, this beautiful back garden was used to build the Grand View Garden.

Now, it is still Chen Ran’s private garden.

Today is Qin Keqing's dinner party, inviting all the female members of the Jia family to attend.

"Ying'er." Xue Baochai called the maid to ask, "Where is Mom?"

"He said he was a little untidy, so he went to change his clothes."

"Why does it take so long?" Xue Baochai became a little anxious when she realized that Aunt Xue had not returned for a long time.

After looking at the women drinking and chatting not far away, she simply got up and went to look for him.

Huifang Garden is very large, and I walked around for a long time without seeing anyone. "I ran around everywhere by myself, and I didn't even bring my maid with me. What if something happened?"

With complaints, Xue Baochai planned to go back first and ask Qin Keqing to arrange people to look for her.

After all, it’s such a big garden that I can’t find it all by myself.

On the way back to Tianxiang Tower, we passed by a rockery.

There is a dense bamboo forest behind the mountain. When walking through the bamboo forest, I can vaguely hear laughter coming from inside.

The laughter sounded familiar, it was clearly Aunt Xue's voice.

"Why are you here?"

Xue Baochai, who was unaware of the seriousness of the matter, walked in following the sound of laughter, holding up her skirt.

"I like this pair of stockings the most. They are soft, smooth and make my legs look longer." Aunt Xue spoke with a smile, and it was unclear who she was chatting with.

"Mom." Xue Baochai looked up and called out as she walked out of the bamboo forest, "Why are you here, you, you, you?!"
