Chapter 153: Surrendering Military Power

The few people looked at each other and bowed their heads in agreement.

"My son, my younger brother, obeys your orders."

The ministers then left the Jinluan Palace, with the Duke and King Han in front, the Crown Prince and several princes behind, and followed the emperor into the imperial study.

The leader, the emperor, stood down with his golden sword, and everyone lined up in the hall and bowed respectfully.

"There is no need to be formal. Come and give Duke Chen a seat."

The emperor waved his hand, and the old Duke took his seat and sat down on a chair next to him.

"We haven't seen you for three years. Your Majesty is still as charming as ever. Let's take a look at the tea."

Not only was he given a seat, but he was also given tea, in order to have a good chat with him.

"Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty."

The old Duke cupped his hands and thanked him, and sipped the tea for a while. Before he could catch up with the emperor, the youngest sixth prince beside him couldn't sit still.

"I don't know if the old prince is leaving me to watch today, but what important matters do we need to discuss?"

Anyone with some brains can vaguely guess his intentions.

The old Duke put down the teacup in his hand, stood up again, walked towards the hall and half-knelt down towards the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I am already old and I am afraid that I will no longer be able to serve as General Pingbei to guard the border."

Everyone present was stunned, with different expressions.

The emperor's face remained as usual, and he waved his hand in disapproval, "My beloved sword is not old yet, and I still need you to stabilize my kingdom. Don't say this."

In his opinion, it was by no means a simple matter to let a general who was in charge of millions of troops delegate power. He only thought that Chen Guogong was showing his loyalty.

However, the next moment, his expression also froze on his face.

Because Chen Guogong was kneeling on the ground, he took out a golden object from his arms and raised his hand high.

That thing was in the shape of a tiger, looking very majestic and weather-beaten.

It’s the talisman in charge of a million-strong army!

"Your Majesty, I am serious. Now that I am leading the army at this young age, I already feel that I am unable to do what I do."

"So I just want to stay in Beijing and be reunited with my family for the rest of my life. I hope Your Majesty will make it happen."

The emperor looked at the military talisman, frowned deeply and said nothing.

The other people looked at the soldier talisman and didn't dare to say a word.

Especially Prince Qin Yan, one of his eyes almost glowed green, and he thought he was hiding it very well.

The most calm person was Qin Han, who quietly coughed after watching the reactions of several people.

The emperor then sighed and said, "Your Majesty, get up first, sit back and speak slowly."

But he was thinking in his heart that if he finally took the initiative to delegate power, if he missed this opportunity, the soldier talisman would be hung on him until he died.

"If the emperor doesn't accept it, the general will not dare to get up."

The old prince is as motionless as a mountain.

After he went back and thought deeply, delegating power was the best choice.

He is not a person who is greedy for power. He only wants the stability of his family and country. Now that he is powerful and threatens the safety of his family, he naturally does not want to stay anymore.

The emperor was in a dilemma, so he heard King Han next to him speak.

"Brother, the old prince has spent his whole life serving Nanxuan's army. Now that the country is at peace and the people are at peace, it's time to let him live a long life."

"Father, my sons and ministers also feel that the old prince is old and not suitable for such hard work."

Qin Yan quickly followed suit, and the other two princes nodded again and again.

"Father, my sons and ministers second my opinion."

The emperor raised his brows and raised his hand, and the eunuch beside him stepped over and took the military talisman from the Duke's hand.

He carefully put it into a tray and placed it in front of the emperor.
