Chapter 223: Wherever the military power arrives, the thieves will flee
Chen Changfeng did not go back to the East Palace directly. He had to go to Tai Chi Hall to meet the emperor first.
After placing Tang Xueer down at the gate of the East Palace, Chen Changfeng went to Tai Chi Hall.
When Chen Changfeng arrived, the officials had already arrived for a while. When they saw Chen Changfeng, all officials had a completely different look on their faces than before.
Some people are smiling, some are flattering, and some are gloomy with inexplicable thoughts.
But the only thing that is the same is that they no longer dare to look down on Chen Changfeng.
On that day, Chen Changfeng uttered wild words in the Taiji Hall, saying that he would recapture the thirteen cities in the southern county of the Ming Dynasty.
Which official believed that Chen Changfeng was seeking his own death?
But today, Chen Changfeng returned from the front with a great victory.
Not only did he recapture the thirteen cities of Nanjun, he also defeated the 200,000-strong Chu army that conquered the south.
If it weren't for the fact that such information couldn't be faked, they really couldn't believe that Chen Changfeng actually did it.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Many officials took the initiative to greet Chen Changfeng.
Chen Changfeng also smiled and nodded.
There seemed to be peace in Tai Chi Hall.
But the second and third princes looked obviously not good-looking.
Especially the third prince, if the emperor hadn't asked everyone to come to Taiji Hall today to prepare for today's dinner, how would he be willing to come here with one ear.
Compared with Chen Changfeng's scenery, his third prince is like a clown.
Moreover, the third prince had just learned from the second prince that Li Feng had escaped first.
The third prince hoped that Li Feng would die first, so that he would not have to worry about Chen Changfeng using the blood letter to testify against him.
Li Fengxian is not dead. No matter where he goes, he can never feel completely at ease.
The third prince plans to ask the second prince about this matter after tonight, as to why Luo Wang let Li Feng run away first!
The emperor soon arrived at the Taiji Hall, and the third prince's biological mother, Concubine Duan, came with him.
Concubine Duan's brother He Guojiu passed away six months ago. She went back to her hometown to pay homage and only returned to the capital at the beginning of the year.
Concubine Duan doted on her son, the third prince, and felt extremely sorry for him when she found out that he had lost an ear on the battlefield.
"I am very happy today. I don't have to worry about etiquette. This is a great victory on the border. I have recovered the thirteen cities of Nanjun. I have also defeated the 200,000-strong Chu army conquering the south and captured the Pingnan city of the Chu empire. Your Majesty, you deserve the most credit.
"
"Whatever reward you want, I will give it to you without being stingy." The emperor looked at Chen Changfeng with a smile in his eyes.
Concubine Duan frowned slightly.
Xindao's army was victorious, and his son, the third prince, also showed great strength and even lost an ear. Why didn't the emperor have any intention of rewarding him?
This attitude is too biased towards the prince Chen Changfeng.
All the officials looked at Chen Changfeng, waiting for his answer.
For such a great achievement, except for the throne, basically whatever Chen Changfeng wanted, the emperor would give him.
What can Chen Changfeng want? He is the prince now and basically lacks everything.
But Chen Changfeng thought of Li Fengxian who was kidnapped from Jiangling City, and the snare organization Liu Shuwen mentioned to him when he was leaving.
This snare organization is extremely mysterious, but it will fall into the hands of the second prince.
"Reporting to my father, I have heard that when I first came to the throne, my father set up a trap to monitor all the officials in the world."
"If my father agrees, my son wants to snare him..."
"Father, no, the net is the eyes and ears of the father, how can it be used by the sixth brother!" Before Chen Changfeng could finish speaking, the second prince jumped out immediately.
He didn't even know what Chen Changfeng was thinking, but he actually put the idea into his own net.
The net was his second prince's trump card, how could he hand it over to Chen Changfeng, his opponent.
If Chen Changfeng really wants to seize the trap, then his second prince is still fooling around.
Just kneel down and surrender.
"Your Majesty, the trap is of great importance. Besides, the prince already has the black-armored guard. It would be inappropriate to take over the trap again." The second prince objected, and some officials immediately stood up to object.
The second prince holds the snare in his hand. They are his people, so the snare will not touch them.
If Chen Changfeng were to seize the trap, how could officials like them still pull off small tricks under Chen Changfeng's nose?
That's really a waste!
"Your Majesty, the snare must not be handed over to His Highness the Crown Prince. I may say something inappropriate. The prince has elite black armored guards and is in control of the snare. The prince has a high prestige in the army. If the prince commits treason..."
"Be bold!"
"presumptuous!"
Yao Xiaoren and Tang Mingren scolded loudly.
There's nothing wrong with this. It's clearly an attempt to confuse people and slander Chen Changfeng.
The scolded officials retracted their ranks, but these words reminded the emperor.
Chen Changfeng has made unparalleled achievements and his prestige in the army can be expected. The black armored guards have already been in his hands. If this trap is controlled by Chen Changfeng again.
Then isn’t it Chen Changfeng who has the final say in the Ming Empire?
Although the emperor believed that Chen Changfeng would not do anything rebellious, would the officials believe it?
By then the impact will be too great and the situation in the DPRK will be unstable.
Before Chen Changfeng could say the second sentence, the emperor waved his hand and said: "Changfeng, I'd better leave the network to your second brother. If you want, you can build a similar organization yourself. I will agree to it if you have the rights."
"Father!"
"His Majesty!"
The second prince and all the officials were all perverted.
They knew that the emperor would not agree to hand over the snare to Chen Changfeng, but they did not expect that the emperor would choose to let Chen Changfeng build an organization similar to the snare.
Doesn't this mean a disguised expansion of Chen Changfeng's power?
The officials were even more frightened, an organization similar to a snare?
The snare has already made them miserable. If there is another one, they will be stripped down to their underwear?
When the time comes, will they stand with the second prince or the prince?
Chen Changfeng never really wanted to ask for the Luowang organization. Although Luowang has many high-ranking officials, they already have their own factions within the organization.
If you take over the trap yourself, they will only serve you in a positive and negative way, which means nothing except causing trouble for yourself.
On that day, Liu Shuwen also suggested that he establish an organization similar to Luowang, so that he would not be left behind when faced with Luowang in the future.
Chen Changfeng didn't expect that the emperor settled the matter for him without even waiting for him to speak.
"My decision has been made, Changfeng, do you have anything else to say?" The emperor waved his hand, looking past everyone's opinions and looked at Chen Changfeng.
"My dear father, thank you very much!" Chen Changfeng said with cupped hands.
The second prince looked cold and stern.
The emperor actually asked Chen Changfeng to form an organization similar to a snare, making it clear that he wanted Chen Changfeng to fight him to the end.
The third prince will also have gloomy eyes. Chen Changfeng has formed an organization similar to a snare. Now that his prestige has been lost, he has no other choice but to join forces with the second prince.
"Liu Xi, please read out the imperial edict." While everyone was in shock and confusion, the emperor waved his hand and motioned for Liu Xi to read out the imperial edict.
Liu Xi walked to the center of the Taiji Hall, faced the officials, slowly unfolded the imperial edict, and read: "By God's blessing, the emperor's edict says: Since the founding of the country by Taizu, the empire's reputation has been both internal and external. However, as time goes by, the country's affairs have declined.
, the territory of the empire has been stolen by thieves for more than three years."
"Now, I, the Ming Dynasty's crown prince, lead the empire's brave generals. Wherever the military power comes, the thieves will not escape."
"The restoration of our Ming Dynasty has been a great achievement. If the loyal and righteous people forget about themselves, why don't we give it a greater reward?"
"Chen Qingzhi, the commander-in-chief of the Black-armored Guards, ordered the title of General Zhaoyi, Commander of the Beijing Guards, to command the Black-armored Guards and lead the army as the Right Minister."
"Xue Ren of Longmen is a noble man. He fought bravely and killed countless enemies. He strengthened the morale of our army. I ordered him to be named the Chief of Zhanshi Mansion in the East Palace and General Wujie."
