The Daxia Empire occupies the largest area in the central part of the Cangyan Continent, which is the place where the Four Wars are fought. However, because the Daxia Empire is too powerful, it suppresses all the countries in the four directions and cannot raise their heads.
After the Ye family seized power in the Daxia Empire, there were a lot of fluctuations in the empire, and many vassals from the Li family also raised armies.
King Li Ji of Kunzhou directly joined forces with the Nanman Kingdom to rebel.
They commanded hundreds of thousands of troops and invaded Kunzhou, Guicheng and other places in the southern part of the Great Xia Empire, killing everyone who entered the city without stopping.
"Let Annan General Cao Kun be the commander-in-chief and gather troops from the ten southern states to put down the rebellion."
"kill!"
A package of military orders was issued directly from the imperial study in the name of Ye Chen, the new emperor.
The rest of the area was also raging with fighting, but it was calmed down after a short time.
"Kill the thieves and serve the country!"
"Kill the thief!"
clatter!
clatter!
clatter!
After reviewing the memorial in his hand, Ye Chen asked someone to escort him to the East Palace. He was in a irritable mood and wanted someone to accompany him to relieve his boredom at night.
East Palace, also known as: Yichun Palace.
In the East Palace, Ye Chen was having a meal accompanied by Jiang Xiyue and Li Yu.
"The craftsmanship is not bad."
Ye Chen took a few bites and couldn't help but evaluate it seriously.
"oh!!"
Jiang Xiyue said.
She really wasn't in the mood to talk to Ye Chen. After all, Ye Chen took away her innocence and forced her to submit. She wanted to let Ye Chen die.
"Xiao Yu, come and eat prawns!"
Ye Chen was not angry, but instead started to show his kindness to Li Yu.
"Thanks!!"
Li Yu is still young.
I don't really understand what hatred means. Naturally, I responded with kindness to Ye Chen's show of kindness. I have to say that Jiang Xiyue's education is still very good.
This girl is a good child.
"Xiao Yu, from now on I will be your father, and your surname will be Ye."
"My name is Ye Yu."
"Do you agree?"
Ye Chen said.
"What? Ye Yu? Why? Isn't my name Li Yu?"
Li Yu asked.
"There is no reason. This is what your mother-in-law agreed to. If you don't believe it, ask your mother-in-law."
Ye Chen said.
"Ye Chen, you-"
When Jiang Xiyue heard this, her beautiful eyes were full of anger. She really didn't expect Ye Chen to go so far.
She actually wanted her daughter to take his last name.
unacceptable.
"What's wrong? Don't you want me to treat Xiaoyu as my own child? You should understand that now, I have become the emperor of the Great Xia Empire, and Xiaoyu has become my, Ye Chen's, daughter."
"For her, it's a great thing."
"From now on, she will continue to enjoy glory and wealth, and no one dares to look down upon her."
"Don't you want this?"
"If she is still called Li Yu, the future will be very dangerous."
Ye Chen explained.
In Jiang Xiyue's view, these words were ruthless threats.
"Ye Chen, you are so despicable."
"You are not a man."
Jiang Xiyue said.
"Didn't you already know whether I am a man last night? Don't worry, you can test it again tonight."
Ye Chen said.
"You, gangster!"
When Jiang Xiyue heard this, her face turned red.
She scolded Ye Chen.
"Jiang Xiyue, you are really beautiful when you are angry. You are worthy of being the most beautiful woman in our imperial capital."
"I'm so lucky to have you."
Ye Chen said.
"Stop being so glib."
Jiang Xiyue spat at Ye Chen.
She was shy.
"Then I'll just be glib to you."
Ye Chen said.
"..."
When Li Yu saw this, his face was full of doubts.
I asked in my heart, what is the situation with uncle Ye Chen and his mother-in-law?
Are they flirting?
"Ye Chen, stop bullying me. I will ignore you."
Jiang Xiyue said.
She really had nothing to do with Ye Chen.
"Jiang Xiyue, I just asked Xiaoyu to take my surname. What do you think?"
Ye Chen asked.
"I--"
Jiang Xiyue was about to object, but she noticed something was wrong in Ye Chen's eyes, so she immediately changed her mind, "Okay, I agree with you. I hope you can treat Xiao Yu better."
"It's natural. I will treat her as my daughter."
"However, the premise is that you must serve me well."
"I'm happy, and you two will be happy too."
Ye Chen said.
"you understood."
"Okay, my name will be Ye Yu from now on."
Xiao Li Yu said.
"Yes, Xiao Yu, you will call me father from now on, do you understand?"
Ye Chen said with a chuckle.
"Father!"
Xiao Li Yu said obediently.
"good!"
"good!!"
Ye Chen was overjoyed when he heard this.
After dinner, he began to take a bath. Later, Jiang Xiyue also took a bath and came to the bed in the palace, waiting for Ye Chen to come and greet her.
She found that she was starting to look forward to it.
"Jiang Xiyue, you can't be soft-hearted. Ye Chen is a big bad guy. He killed your husband, took you as a plaything, and asked your daughter to call him father. He is extremely evil."
Jiang Xiyue began to reprimand herself.
Everything is blaming myself for not being firm enough.
"Jiang Xiyue, I'm here."
.......
Half a month passed by, and now the situation in the Imperial Capital has gradually stabilized.
The forces that were previously attached to the Li family were gradually eliminated.
Some high-ranking officials in the court had Ye Chen transferred away from the center, or marginalized, or promoted overtly and covertly, and became inactive, and some of them were imprisoned and killed by him.
clatter!
clatter!
clatter!
Ye Chen came to Dingjiang Pavilion. Since the Ye family army took control of the imperial capital, this military organization loyal to the Li family has also been surrounded by large armies.
However, the Ye family did not kill this organization.
Ye Tian's meaning is very simple. He wants to subdue this force and serve Ye Chen.
【Dingjian Pavilion】
It's a martial arts organization and an intelligence network.
An organization similar to the Jinyiwei, which only serves the emperor.
Also known as: the emperor's personal army.
Ye Chen ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor two days ago, and he came to see these people today.
He wanted to subdue these people and work for the Ye family and Ye Chen.
"Your Majesty is here!"
Under the protection of many experts from the Ye family, Ye Chen entered the Juyi Hall of Dingjiang Pavilion. At this time, the senior officials of Dingjiang Pavilion were all here.
Pavilion Master, Shen Lian
The three deputy pavilion heads, Ren Xiaoyue, Deng Hui and Luo Feng
Eight Great Dharma Protectors
Hundreds of pavilion guards.
"..."
Facing the arrival of the new emperor Ye Chen, everyone in Dingjian Pavilion was looking at Shen Lian, the pavilion master, and they were all looking at each other's attitude. After all, they only trusted Shen Lian, the pavilion master.
Shen Lian is a martial arts master.
"alright!"
"Follow this pavilion master to pay homage to His Majesty."
Shen Lian said.
"ah--"
Everyone in Dingjian Pavilion was quite surprised.
But immediately, they started to take action.
"yes!"
"Pay homage to Your Majesty!"
Shen Lian led people to meet Ye Chen.
They all got the message.
Today, the emperor of the Daxia Empire is Ye Chen.
"alright!"
"You are equal."
Ye Chen said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Shen Lian said.
After that, everyone in Dingjiang Pavilion stood up.
"I am here to tell you that Dingjian Pavilion remains the same as before. As long as you serve me, I will let bygones be bygones."
"Those who are not willing to serve me can also resign and leave. As long as you are not an enemy of the imperial court in the future, I will not pursue your crimes."
"Shen Lian, as the master of the pavilion, it's up to you to make a statement."
Ye Chen said.
He came straight to the point, which also surprised everyone present in Dingjiang Pavilion.
They have also heard about the news that Ye Chen is the God of War. Now, Ye Chen is so tolerant to them that they also want to stay.
However, everything depends on Shen Lian's intention.
"Your Majesty, Shen Lian is willing to serve you."
Shen Lian said.
"good!"
Ye Chen was overjoyed when he heard this.
After that, he looked at the others.
"what about you?"
he asks.
"We are willing to serve His Majesty."
"good!"
"Shen Lian, you will still be the master of Dingjian Pavilion."
"It's business as usual."
"I have just ascended the throne, and all of you will be rewarded."
Ye Chen said.
He understands that he and his men not only have to draw a big pie, but also have to make money.
Benefits are eternal.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Ye Chen then summoned Shen Lian alone.
In the office of the Pavilion Master of Dingjian Pavilion, Ye Chen sat on a chair and Shen Lian stood there waiting for instructions.
"Shen Lian, do you think I should trust you? You are Li Rui's confidant and confidant. Now that you have surrendered to me and have not surrendered, how can I trust you?"
"Now there is something I want to leave to you."
"You wish."
"..."
Shen Lian on the side felt relieved when he heard this. Just when Ye Chen forgave them, did not pursue their crimes, and rewarded them, he felt that something was abnormal.
Now, Ye Chen said such words to him, which actually made him feel at ease.
Xin said, this is the method an emperor should have.
"Your Majesty, despite your orders, our Dingjian Pavilion will definitely complete the mission."
He took a stand.
"good!"
"Speaking of it, it's not a big deal."
"Just killing someone."
"I heard that the commander-in-chief of Fengtai Camp, Feng Tuhai, is Li Rui's die-hard loyalist and stubborn. Please send someone to kill this guy."
"As for his family, forget it."
"I am not a murderous person."
Ye Chen said.
"Feng Tuhai? Admiral of Fengtai Camp? Your Majesty, Shen Lian will definitely complete the mission."
Shen Lian said.
"That's fine!"
"When you kill this person, I will give you and Dingjiange a great opportunity."
Ye Chen said.
"yes!"
After Ye Chen finished speaking, he left.
After that, he evacuated all the soldiers who besieged Dingjian Pavilion.
"Pavilion Master, do we really want to serve Ye Chen? He, will he believe us? Also, he killed the late emperor, then the prince, and now, he has occupied the prince's concubine."
"If we serve such evil thieves, aren't we helping him to do evil?"
Some people objected to being loyal to Ye Chen.
"What you say makes sense, but do you want to die?"
"In the current situation, is it useful if we don't surrender?"
"Ye Chen conquered us because we are still useful, but only useful. If we don't obey, do you think he won't destroy us?"
"Didn't all the masters of our Dingjiang Pavilion die at Ye Chen's hands before?"
"Nearly a thousand masters didn't even have a chance to fight back when faced with Ye Chen. Ye Chen's martial arts is too high."
"We are not his opponents, do you understand?"
Although Shen Lian said he hated Ye Chen.
However, I also understand that the struggle for power was originally a life-and-death battle. Now that the Ye family has won, they have to surrender.
Those who do not surrender will only die.
"Pavilion Master, under your leadership, we are willing to enter the palace and assassinate the evil thief Ye Chen in order to repay the kindness of the late emperor."
Leng Qiyun, one of the eight guardians of the law, "The Deadly Swordsman" said.
He had been favored by Li Rui, and now he vowed to avenge Li Rui to the death.
