Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 161: Reinstated as Minister of War and General of Chariots and Cavalry to Suppress Kyoto
"Mother, it's just a bunch of clowns looking for trouble."

Emperor Qing comforted the Queen Mother softly.

Out of trust in Emperor Qing, the Queen Mother said nothing more.

In the Kingdom of Qing, no one can rival Emperor Qing.

The Queen Mother firmly believes this!
"In that case, I will not bother you any more and resolve the matter as soon as possible. It is disgraceful to hear so much crying outside the palace."

The Queen Mother gave an order and moved back to the West Palace.

After Emperor Qing confirmed that the Queen Mother had left, the smile on his face completely gloomy.

"Eunuch Hou!"

"The slave is here!"

Eunuch Hou knelt on the ground hurriedly, fearing that he would accidentally anger Emperor Qing.

"Appoint Liu Hong as the Minister of War, and give him the title of General of Chariots and Cavalry, commanding the Kyoto Garrison Division."

Emperor Qing had a cold expression, and there was only confidence in his eyes.

As long as he holds the military power and has the identity of a grandmaster hidden, this group of officials will not be able to cause any major disturbances.

The Ye family has not dared to say a word for so long, so let's replace them with a minister who is willing to take responsibility.

Eunuch Hou was stunned. Did he hear it wrong?

This means that the Minister of War is almost in charge of the military power in Kyoto.

If we go a step further, the shogun will hold power over both inside and outside Kyoto, a typical regent.

"Let the East Factory keep an eye on all the officials! No matter how I tell them to abdicate, they should crawl back like dead dogs."

Emperor Qing gritted his teeth, obviously hating this group of officials.

Even the Queen Mother knows about this matter, so it is obviously impossible to delay the matter any longer.

Obviously, the matter could be easily handled by dispatching the city defense troops, but Emperor Qing insisted on giving Liu Hong the power to command the garrison division.

The Qin family fanned the flames, while the Ye family remained silent.

It was obvious that Emperor Qing was very dissatisfied. He felt that he could use the young generals who were promoted by him at ease.

"Yes! I will go and pass on your order right away."

Eunuch Hou crawled and rolled through the side door of the palace to publicize Emperor Qing's order.

Because the main gate had been blocked by officials.

In the Dongchang prison, Eunuch Hou brought everyone to personally deliver the imperial edict.

No one was not shocked by this imperial edict.

Even if Emperor Qing puts Liu Hong in jail, if everyone is prepared, Emperor Qing will definitely compensate him.

However, this compensation almost made Liu Hong go from being a newly emerging dignitary to a big shot who could influence the court.

After Eunuch Hou finished reading the imperial edict, he looked worried.

"Lord Liu, you may refuse to accept the order this time. His Majesty is already furious."

If it weren't for Liu Hong's long-standing bribery relationship and the establishment of the East Factory, Eunuch Hou's power would be no less than that of Hong Sixiang.

Eunuch Hou would not say this either.

"Sharing your king's worries is the duty of a minister!"

Liu Hong took the order and glanced at the Dongchang guards who were guarding him.

This group of people knelt on the ground and trembled, fearing that they would anger Liu Hong because of their poor hospitality.

Eunuch Hou looked surprised.

"Master Liu, your hair..."

"Nothing, just too much work on state affairs."

Liu Hong downplayed the matter and lightly brushed it aside.

In order to provoke a confrontation between the power of the prime minister and the power of the emperor, drag Fan Xian and the Qin family into the water, control public opinion, and also guard against Emperor Qing's assassination and warning Lin Ruofu.

Then he got himself involved, and then he pulled himself out of it.

Even with Zhang Liang's planning, Liu Hong was still worried and exhausted.

Suddenly, the jet-black hair had a hint of white.

But it was all worth it. Liu Hong got what he wanted, and Lin Ruofu was about to get what the prime minister deserved.

After Liu Hong stepped out of the Dongchang prison cage, Er Gouzi had already mobilized the city defense troops to be on high alert.

"Leave the capital first and transfer the garrison division to the capital."

"Brother! Eight thousand city defense troops are enough. Do these officials really dare to mobilize their own private soldiers to besiege the palace?"

Er Gouzi was completely confused and didn't understand what was going on.

Since Liu Hong got what he wanted, why not take action quickly?

"Don't be impatient!" Liu Hong only responded to Ergouzi with two brief words.

Shi Chan stood at a distance and bowed deeply, then nodded to Liu Hong.

Eight thousand city defense troops marched toward the east gate in a mighty force, taking over Ye Zhong's garrison division.

Now that the imperial edict is in hand, we must at all costs mix some sand into Ye Zhong’s garrison division.

The three generals who were originally sent to the garrison division were transferred to the city defense army with the tacit cooperation of Ye Chong and the Qin family.

These two families had wronged Liu Hong, and there was no way Liu Hong would not seek revenge.

In the garrison division camp, countless city defense soldiers recited the imperial edict loudly and rushed into the camp.

The 30,000 soldiers of the garrison division were completely confused and had not yet figured out what was going on. When they heard the imperial edict, they could only watch the city defense troops come in.

When Ye Chong hurried out of the tent and rushed to the training ground.

Liu Hong has gathered all the commanders of the garrison division together.

Seeing the imperial edict shining brightly in Liu Hong's hand, Ye Zhong's heart skipped a beat.

But he was not too nervous because his Ye family had the support of the Grand Master, who was also loyal to His Majesty.

Does Liu Hong dare to swallow up the garrison division in one breath?

"Commander Ye, there is something going on in Kyoto right now, so I need to borrow the garrison division."

Liu Hong spoke with a smile.

Ye Chong looked at the imperial edict carefully and breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Emperor Qing is still rational. He is only in charge of the Kyoto Garrison Division, not the commander.

The balance among the three major military forces in Kyoto still exists.

It’s just that Liu Hong jumped from being the weakest general of the border army to the second most powerful general in Kyoto.

"Since there is an imperial decree, I will naturally obey it. I wonder how many soldiers of the garrison division General Liu will dispatch?"

"30,000 people! All transferred to Kyoto to suppress lawlessness."

A cold look flashed across Liu Hong's eyes.

Ye Zhong almost jumped up. Doesn't this just leave him alone as a commander without any troops?
Moreover, it was the officials in Kyoto who forced the emperor to abdicate, but there was no riot. The garrison division and the city defense force of 40,000 people were enough to besiege the imperial palace.

"Captain Ye, are you really not clear about why His Majesty issued this decree? Don't worry, the garrison division will be back in half a month."

Liu Hong didn't want to push Ye Chong too hard, so he set a time limit.

Ye Zhong's eyes flickered for a moment. In half a month, no matter how hard Liu Hong tried, he couldn't cram in that many people.

Just lose a few of them!
Anyway, Ye Chong would never enter Beijing now.

The situation had not been so serious before, and Ye Chong did not get involved. But now all the officials are forcing the emperor to abdicate, and Emperor Qing has mobilized his troops.

Ye Chong must be out of his mind to come to Beijing and become a target for others.

In Kyoto, the Second Prince's wife Ye Ling'er and the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards Gong Dian were present, which was enough for Ye Chong to watch the situation from afar and judge it.

"In that case, I hope General Liu will have smooth sailing."

Ye Zhong took a step back and chose to let Liu Hong take away all the garrison divisions.

Liu Hong appeased some garrison division commanders along the way. He would not take the opportunity to purge the garrison divisions, and he also promised them some benefits.

The garrison division was barely able to obey Liu Hong's command.

Just because of this delay, it was getting dark.

The gates of Kyoto were tightly closed, and only a few soldiers guarding the city sounded the alarm after seeing the huge number of troops.

The general defending the city looked at the murderous generals, gritted his teeth and walked out with a few personal guards.

"Generals, why are you leading troops into the capital so late at night?"

Liu Hong hasn't spoken yet.

Er Gouzi spat at the general.

"Yan He, you are blind! Didn't you see the Minister of War, General Liu?"

"Don't forget, when Lord Liu was the Minister, who promoted you to the position of the seventh-rank deputy general for defending the city!"

Yan He took a closer look and saw that it was indeed Liu Hong. He immediately knelt on the ground.

"Your Excellency is leading troops into the capital late at night. There is no imperial decree or order from above. It is really difficult for me to handle this!"

Liu Hong raised his eyes and looked at the general, seeming a little confused.

"Order?"

The personal guard handed over a piece of white paper. Liu Hong wrote two words quickly and stamped it with his own seal.

"That's the order!"
