Chapter 722

Advise to the throne

"Nan Chen has sent troops!" The new director of the Special Service Department, Dingyuan Hou Zhang Jin, wearing black light armor, stood beside Chen Pojun with a serious face and said. Please remember.

Chen Kefu was not surprised when he heard the news, as if everything had been expected. He turned around and glanced at the former guard captain, smiled at him with some appreciation, and reached out to help him get rid of the rank of lieutenant general on his shoulder.

"Thank you all the way from Beijing to here. Thank you. Everything is fine in the capital?" Standing on the high cloud tower, you can easily see the thick smoke and fire in the distance and a melee. This is the fourth attack on Li Mi Camp. The main attack was Wang Xuanying's Jianghuai Army, the engineering battalion of the Hebei Army was responsible for fire support, and the light cavalry in Hebei were on standby on both wings and ready to respond at any time.

Zhang Jin belonged to the direct line of the Liaodong Army in the Hebei Army, and was also the leader of the guards of Chen Pojun, so he was even the direct line of the direct line. Before he took over as the director of the Special Service Department, he was the Zhuguo and the General of the Wuqi, who remained in the capital. When Chen Pojun's order was passed to him, he asked him to immediately take over as the director of the Special Service Department and promoted him to Lieutenant General, the second-rank supreme country, and the third-rank champion general. When he was from the third-rank Dingyuan Marquis, he still didn't believe it.

The Secret Service Director is a fourth-rank official and belongs to the General Staff Headquarters, and seems to be of low rank. But in fact, everyone knows that the Secret Service Department, Investigation Department, Gendarmerie Department, and Police Department are low but have a weight, especially the Secret Service Department and the Investigation Department, one to the outside and the other to the inside, are truly powerful positions. No one who is not Chen Wang’s confidant can hold it. Although the Fourth Department Director is a fourth-rank official, they can actually be appointed as the magistrate.

As soon as he took over, Zhang Jin immediately went south and rushed to Henan to meet King Chen.

Seeing that King Chen was still treating him as kind as before, and just helped him to straighten his ejaculation, Zhang Jin immediately felt the kindness as before. He was excited and said seriously, "Report to Your Highness, everything is fine in the capital. Marshal Li and Mao Taifu were in charge of the capital, and there were Gong Gong, Gong Du, Gong Changsun and others to hold the government. In the palace, Princess Chen was in charge of the harem. Everything was very well. Before the Xiaguan went south, he had visited various places and everything was fine. When he rushed south to Qinghe County, he received news from the capital that Princess Changsun gave birth to a young prince on the ninth of the fourth month, and Princess Yang also gave birth to a prince on the tenth day of the first month. In addition, the bride mission of the Turkic Tongye Hu Khan had escorted Tongye Hu's legitimate daughter Aiguli to Beijing, waiting for Your Highness to welcome the marriage. They also asked the court when Princess Yicheng would send Princess Yicheng to marry the Turkic and marry Gongye Hu Khan.

"BaoSun and Izumo have both given birth to a son?" Chen Kefu turned around and asked in surprise.

"Although I saw two princes in person, I saw an envoy who wanted to go south to report the message when I was in Qinghe. I happened to go south and brought the good news together. According to the envoy, Princess Changsun gave birth to a prince on the ninth day of the day, and Princess Yang gave birth to a prince on the 10th day of the day. The two princesses gave birth to one day, and the messenger reported that the two princes and the two princes were very safe."

"Okay, okay, okay." Chen Kefu couldn't hide his joy in his tone. Although he had known that he had already had a son with Silla Princess Jin Shengman, he had never even met that son, and now he has become the heir of Silla King, whose nominal surname is Jin but Chen.

"Okay, I finally have a son, and I, Chen Kefu, have a successor." Chen Kefu did not expect that Changsun Wugui and Yang Jier were only one day apart, and gave birth to sons one after another. The birth of these two sons was not only of great significance to Chen Pojun, but also to the entire Hebei army. In the past, although Chen Pojun was loved by his subordinates, Chen Kefu was too young and had no sons and had complicated relationships with the Chen clan, so there was no successor, which always made the court worry extremely.

Even Li Benlei, Mao Xi, Lu Guangli and others once advised Chen Kefu to ask him to take some adopted sons according to the tradition before he had a son. For example, he would take some adopted sons as young and outstanding young generals such as Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, and Zhang Yong as adopted sons to consolidate their status and avoid everyone's concerns. Taking adopted sons is also a common method for generals who have no children or young children in the army and heroes in the country. First, use a group of adopted sons to form the army into a family army dominated by clan relations, and second, it can also avoid the possibility of the collapse of the forces due to no successors due to accidents.

However, although the method of accepting adopted sons is ordinary and common in this era, Chen Kefu did not have such an idea. Especially when accepting adopted sons who are about the same age as him or even older than him, it made him feel very strange. If he wanted to accept adopted sons like young orphans, it would be a bit of a pretext. However, Chen Kefu was only twenty-seven years old and had several daughters before, it was not impossible to give birth to him, so he had never planned to accept adopted sons.

However, for this, the Hebei court has always been extremely worried about the fact that there is no successor. Now that two of them have been born at once, how can they not be happy about this? What made Chen Kefu feel even more relieved was that the eldest grandson's child was the eldest son. Although in Chen Pojun's view, the best one should be chosen as the best. But in this era, sometimes, the gap between the legitimate and the illegitimate wife was too difficult to span.

Especially now when he is starting a business, the Changsun family is a powerful descendant that Chen Pojun needs very much, while Yang Jier is the daughter of Yang Guang. Although it doesn’t matter much, if she makes her son the heir, it will inevitably cause internal turmoil. For Chen Pojun now, internal stability is more important than everything, and now that the two children are just born, there is no way to see anything. At this time, everything is best according to tradition. Changsun gave birth to the eldest son, which saves many troubles.

Zhang Jin stood aside, looking at Chen Pojun's joy, and was very happy. The birth of the two little princes also gave them more hope to those who had been following King Chen.

"Your Highness, when I went south to pay homage to Grand Tutor Mao, Marshal Li and all the ministers, all the great masters asked me to bring the message to Your Highness."

"Oh? What do they have to bring to me?"

Zhang Jin looked around and saw that there was no one around, and said softly, "Mao Taifu Mao and Marshal Li asked his ministers to tell him that his prince has given birth to a little prince now and should immediately make Princess Changsun the son of the crown prince to stabilize the hearts of both inside and outside. In addition, several ministers from Du Fang asked his ministers to lead the conversation, saying that his prince is now well-known at home and abroad, and the Sui family is now exhausted, and His prince is deeply loved by the people of the world. At that time, His prince should follow the heavenly power and advance to the emperor to calm the hearts of the people, and he can also get in the world as soon as possible, unify the world, and restore peace and tranquility to all parties, avoid unnecessary struggles."

Chen Kefu was slightly surprised. It was obvious that he would replace the Sui Dynasty and become emperor in the future. The Beijing court had already understood this matter. Originally, Chen Kefu established Yang Gao as the emperor, and the Sui Dynasty still had a lot of momentum. Chen Kefu established Yang Gao as the emperor, and he also carried the banner of the Sui Dynasty, which was the greatest convenience.

However, now, the Sui Dynasty is really over. And more and more people have become emperors. Chen Shen proclaimed himself emperor and established the Chen Dynasty, and Yang Ming proclaimed himself emperor, and he still used the banner of Sui Dynasty. Yuwen Xu and proclaimed himself emperor and established the Xu Kingdom, Li Gui proclaimed himself emperor and established the Liang Kingdom, Xue Ju proclaimed himself emperor and established the Qin Kingdom, and Yang Gao, even if he had just stepped down from Yang Neng in Hedong and Yang Tong in Luoyang who had just been removed, there were still seven emperors. Among them, there were only three emperors left in the Yang family. In addition to what he had mastered, there were only one in the southwest corner. The Sui room had indeed reached its end.

To be too early to proclaim himself emperor will attract the counterattack of the remaining forces of the Sui Dynasty and will have to withstand the strangulation of other anti-kings.

But if you are not promoted to the emperor, you will lose the hearts of the people that will gradually become unified and will also affect the morale of the civil and military officials and generals under your command.

At this time, becoming emperor means orthodoxy and being justified. He has always been under the banner of Yang Gao, but he has been a little bit wrong and being wrong. When the whole world despises Yang and Sui Dynasty, he still under the banner of the Sui Dynasty will only make it difficult for the people to return to their hearts. Changing the dynasty as soon as possible will be a new dynasty and a new atmosphere, and the people in the world will be able to submit to them.

Now, it is indeed time for Chen Pojun to replace Yang Gao and ascend to the throne.

However, Chen Kefu had considered this matter first. It was not that he was anxious or flirting. It was because it was also about the people's hearts and he could not be careless. Originally, he planned to defeat Li Mi, and after conquering Luoyang, he moved the capital from Beijing to Luoyang. He took Luoyang as his capital, ascended the throne in Luoyang, and took over the Central Plains to take over the world, and then wiped out all parties.

However, the Battle of the Central Plains has become increasingly fiercer. Not only did Hebei and Li Mi get involved, but now the Zheng army of Jianghuai, Yan State of Hebei, and Chen Dynasty of Jiangnan have all been involved, and even Yang Ming from Jianghan may be involved at any time.

Li Mi is now at the end of his journey, and after this battle, it is certain to be destroyed. However, it is not easy to conquer Henan and occupy Luoyang immediately. After all, Luoyang is still in the hands of Wang Xuanying, but the Southern Chen army has already gone north again.

"Where did the Nanchen soldiers go? How many did they come?"

Zhang Jin's face was a little solemn, "This time, Nanchen was influential. In addition to leaving some defensive forces on both sides of the east and west, Nanchen was influential. At present, 300,000 troops had been gathered in Shouchun, an important town in Huainan. Within a day, they would take the Huai River along the Yingshui River to Luoyang and arrive at the battlefield here."

"Three hundred thousand?" This number surprised Chen Kefu. Nan Chen became weaker and weaker in recent years. 300,000 soldiers can be said to be a battle of the country. "It seems that Nan Chen is planning to take a gamble, but the time they chose does not seem to be very good."

Chen Kefu sneered. The Southern Chen Qingguo came to fight, and his idea was nothing more than joining forces with Li Mi to defeat the Hebei army in the Central Plains. But they might not have expected that Li Mi, the overlord of the Central Plains, who is known as the most soldiers in the world, would be defeated so quickly. In a blink of an eye, he turned from the overlord of the Central Plains to become a dead pig waiting to be slaughtered. At this time, Nan Chen came to help thousands of miles away, but he was afraid that he would embark on a road without knowing it.
