After signing in at the border for ten years, the empress begged on her knees not to rebel

Chapter 1: The Empress ascends to the throne, the assassin in the palace
The forty-fifth year of Emperor Yuan's reign.

big cold.

A heavy snowstorm submerged the entire Dawu Dynasty.

As the saying goes, auspicious snow means a good harvest, so people stay at home, looking forward to the harvest next year.

However, winter has not yet gone.

However, bad news came from Chang'an first.

Emperor Wu died of illness in Xuanyang Palace. Before his death, he issued an edict to make the ninth princess Wu Yuxi the emperor.

Once the news came out, the whole world was shocked.

How can a woman take charge of the Dawu Dynasty?
For a moment, the whole world was shocked.

The ministers in the court have different thoughts, and the princes in various places are ready to make moves, and their ambitions are obvious.

north.

Resist the barbarian pass and guard the northern palace.

It's snowing heavily.

Inner courtyard, under the pavilion.

Jiang Xuan and a scholar in white sat opposite each other with a brazier between them.

The charcoal fire burned very fiercely, with tiny sparks floating around.

There are bamboo curtains hanging around the pavilion.

It can also protect you from the cold wind and you won’t feel cold.

"Your Majesty."

The scholar in white frowned and asked, "What do you think the late emperor had in mind when he allowed the Ninth Princess to succeed to the throne?"

It was unprecedented for a woman to become an emperor.

The late emperor did this.

It is no different from sending the Ninth Princess
No, now it's the empress's turn.

It's tantamount to roasting the empress on the fire.

Not to mention the civil and military officials in the court, the princes who guard the eight directions of the Dawu Dynasty may not be willing to let a woman dominate them.

In charge of the country and people of the Dawu Dynasty.

Seeing that the prince didn't speak.

The scholar in white clothes said to himself: "If the empress can control these vassal kings, it will be fine. If not, within half a year, the Dawu Dynasty will be in chaos."

You need to know these vassal kings.

Not only do they have power, they also have soldiers.

The King of Jin alone had an army of 500,000 soldiers under his command and guarded the Lingnan area.

To resist South Vietnam.

The King of Qin was stationed in the southwest with 350,000 elite troops under his command to resist the Wei Dynasty.

Prince Ning is in charge of the East China Sea.

Although he does not have many elite troops, the assets brought to him by maritime trade are enormous.

As long as King Ning wants.

It will take less than half a month to raise a large army.

The other princes also commanded large numbers of troops and garrisoned in various places. They were all ambitious people.

“It’s difficult, it’s difficult.”

The scholar in white thought about it and sighed, "I'm afraid the empress can't sit still in this country."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuan withdrew his gaze from the distance towards Chang'an.

He said slowly: "It makes no difference to me who sits on the throne of the Great Wu Dynasty."

but.

This country can only be ruled by someone from the royal family.

Jiang Xuan added silently in his heart.

He traveled through time more than 20 years ago, when the Dawu Dynasty was in chaos and war.

South Vietnam, North Barbarians.

The Great Wei Dynasty and the Great Li Dynasty led their armies together, intending to divide the Great Wu Dynasty.

Jiang Xuan was desperate and almost starved to death.

He joined the army and became a soldier. He fought with the army in many battles and gradually came to prominence.

At that time, the late emperor had a special appreciation for him.

He kept him by his side all year round, taught him how to deploy troops and battle formations, and taught him martial arts.

Only then did Jiang Xuan show his prowess and was appointed a general and given a title of nobility.

The late emperor back then was full of vigor and vitality.

After the situation stabilized.

He ignored the opposition and insisted that Jiang Xuan lead 700,000 elite troops to fight back one by one.

Just one month.

Jiang Xuan killed so many people that the Nanyue people were terrified and ceded land and paid compensation, becoming a vassal of the Dawu.

Five years later.

Jiang Xuan personally led the army and drove the Northern Barbarians back deep into the grasslands, and they did not dare to show up for ten years.

He also forced the Wei Dynasty and the Dali Dynasty to cede more than 50 cities in succession.

With such a great victory, the late emperor was very pleased and conferred the title of King of Zhenbei on Jiang Xuan on the spot. He was the only king of a different surname in the Dawu Dynasty.

Jiang Xuan at that time.

The momentum was overwhelming, and in the hearts of the people of the Dawu Dynasty, it was like a stabilizing force.

Admired by all people.

Many people even built a ancestral hall for Jiang Xuan and worshipped and prayed for him every day.

At first, the late emperor didn't care.

They thought that this was what Jiang Xuan deserved, but as time passed, the emperor grew older.

The more he feared and suspected Jiang Xuan, the deeper his feelings became.

So eight years ago.

The late emperor summoned Jiang Xuan into the palace overnight, and Jiang Xuan did not leave until the next day.

Nobody knows.

What exactly did Jiang Xuan talk about with the late emperor in the palace?

All we know is that on the next day, after an imperial decree was issued, Jiang Xuan voluntarily handed over his military power.

He brought only 800 cavalrymen to guard the northern border.

then.

This incident caused a great sensation. Some people sneered at it, while others stood up for Jiang Xuan.

There was even a letter from the people pleading for Jiang Xuan, but in the end nothing came of it.

Recalling those days.

Jiang Xuan frowned slightly and murmured in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, why are you doing this?"

Who was the late emperor?
When the country was in turmoil, he led the army in person, holding a 10-foot-long black spear in his hand, and fought his way in and out of the army. His civil and military skills were beyond doubt, and he was worthy of being called a peerless hero.

Even if he is old and foolish.

It won't cause the Dawu Dynasty to fall into turmoil again, but the strange thing is.

The late emperor would actually inherit the throne with the ninth princess.

"That's all."

Jiang Xuan thought for a long time.

He couldn't figure it out, so he shook his head and said, "As long as no one comes to provoke me, and the Great Wu Dynasty is still there, nothing is my business."

"Haha."

The white-robed scholar heard this.

He laughed loudly and said, "I think no matter who sits on the throne, they will not be so blind as to provoke the prince."

"Not always."

Jiang Xuan said: "After all, some people are always pretentious and like to challenge things that ordinary people dare not challenge. There are always many such fools."

"Like now."

Jiang Xuan glanced outside the mansion and raised his eyebrows.

A hint of coldness flashed across his eyes as he said, "Yuanzhi, guess who it will be this time?"

'Swish, swish, swish'

The moment Jiang Xuan finished speaking.

Then several figures appeared in the inner courtyard and looked coldly at Jiang Xuan and the others.

"kill!"

There is no unnecessary movement.

As soon as they appeared, they rushed towards the two of them.

In this regard.

Jiang Xuan didn't even raise his eyelids, and the scholar in white also had a calm expression.

He just frowned and said, "Seven first-rank warriors, their skills are quite impressive. Judging from their aura, they don't look like barbarians. Your Majesty, it seems that someone can't sit still any longer."

"Come die!"

That is at this moment.

A loud shout sounded like thunder.

Shine——

A sharp blade flashed, and a blade energy of more than ten feet in size was cut out and arrived in an instant.

'poof'

Before the assassins could react, they were all cut in half.

There was still a hint of fear in his eyes.

"A bunch of trash."

A strong man with bare upper body and holding a long knife came over. Looking at the men lying in a pool of blood, he said with a pah: "With this level, you dare to assassinate the prince."

After cursing, the sturdy man came over with a chuckle.

"hey-hey."

"My Lord, I will be late."

"I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

But he hadn't entered the pavilion yet.

The scholar in white shook his head and cursed with a smile: "You fool, why did you kill them all? At least leave one person to ask questions."
