Nie Chen laughed angrily and said leisurely,
"Your Majesty, you are the emperor and they are ministers. If they listen to you, it is only natural. If they do not listen to you, that is rebellion. They must send troops to conquer and bring them back for questioning.
They are all your ministers. What are you afraid of your ministers doing?
Even if they dare to rebel, don't they still have ministers? With a general like Chen here, he will definitely be able to clear out rebellion and frighten Xiaoxiao.
At that time, everyone in the world will see the consequences of disobeying the emperor's orders. The emperor's majesty will not be damaged, but will become more majestic. Do you understand?
The army will go out tomorrow, so you have to be prepared. As the emperor, you should do your part. "
"Uh... I understand, I understand. I will issue an edict right now. Eunuch Huang, come and grind it for me, and I will write the edict."
Before Ji Kun ascended the throne, a lot of the emperor's utensils were made. Naturally, there were a lot of the necessary items such as imperial edicts.
Ji Kun finished it in one go, wrote several imperial edicts, stamped them with a jade seal, and handed them to Nie Chen.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is wise!"
Nie Chen turned around to leave, but was stopped by Ji Kun again.
"Um... Master Nie, you don't have to let me do small things like writing imperial edicts. You see, you can ask Mr. Zhou and others to write the imperial edict first, and then give it to me to read, and then Eunuch Huang will do it. Just stamp it with the jade seal. If I'm busy, I don't need to read it. I can just write it, stamp it, and send it out. It's such a simple thing, don't you think?"
Hearing this, Nie Chen was shocked, looked at him with surprise, and then turned around and left.
What the hell is this? The emperor is like this, but he still thinks he has too much power and wants to give up all the power to write imperial edicts?
Do you still think that you have been ignored enough?
If Nie Chen was given the power to write imperial edicts and issue emperor's orders, then the emperor of the world would not be Ji Kun, but Nie Chen.
According to common sense, the emperor's imperial edicts were dictated by the emperor, and the eunuch of the ceremonial department or the concubine of the Hanlin Academy would write it for him. Then the emperor would read it. After confirming that it was correct, the eunuch of the ceremonial department would stamp it and then send it to The prime minister or the cabinet will hand it over to the ministries for execution, or send it to the local governments.
This is why some great eunuchs in history had great power. They were in charge of writing imperial edicts and sealing imperial decrees. If they met an emperor who did not care about things or was not in power, then the great eunuchs would really have all the power.
Just like the current Eunuch Huang, he has many positions. He holds the positions of eunuch Bingbi, eunuch holding the seal, eunuch personal to the emperor, and general manager of the palace. He has great power.
There is only one reason, because he is the only eunuch here.
Lao Huang was also very tired. He really wanted to ask Nie Chen if he could recruit a few more eunuchs to help serve the emperor.
But he also knows that at this time, no matter how hard it is, it is worth it. When the emperor takes control of the capital and moves into the palace, he will definitely have to select new eunuchs and maids to enter the palace. By then, he will be the only one in the palace. It's more than ten thousand people.
When he thought of this, Eunuch Huang became more determined to make friends with Nie Chen.
It's so delicious when everyone gathers power together, cooperates with each other, and works together.
If Nie Chen was in power, in order to control the emperor, he would definitely have to bribe him as a personal eunuch. And if he wanted to stabilize his position, he would have to please Nie Chen and hug him tightly. Everyone would benefit from each other.
But if the emperor comes to power, then no one will give him gifts, others will not need him, and the emperor can replace him if he wants, which is not good.
Eunuch Huang has made a thorough analysis of the gains and losses in this process.
After Nie Chen left, Eunuch Huang said to Ji Kun,
"Your Majesty, the army will go out tomorrow. You can go and see the army off to enhance its power. Master Nie will be very happy to know about it. The morale of the army will be greatly boosted!"
Hearing this, Ji Kun immediately shook his head like a rattle and said,
"No, no, it won't be useful if I go to see off the army. Master Nie will think that I want to win over the army and take away his military power.
Now the only person I can rely on is Master Nie, but I don't dare to let him have any resentment in his heart. I can't go.
It's better to stay at home and pamper my beloved concubines. It will be a great achievement for me to have more children and expand the branches of the Dafeng royal family. "
After speaking, he stood up and walked towards the inner room.
Seeing this, Eunuch Huang shook his head, secretly laughing that such an emperor was so controllable.
After Nie Chen returned to the lobby with the imperial edict, he asked the guards to rush to deliver it to King Andong and King Jingshan. As for the imperial edict from the Hanzhong County Governor, he planned to keep it for himself and give it to him in person when he arrived at the Hanzhong County seat the next day. The Sheriff is watching.
Early the next morning, Nie Chen put on his armor, carried his steel sword, took Weng Qiuchan, Ouyang Ming and others on a carriage and came out of the county town.
And the army outside was also ready. The marching team was long, and the army of 250,000 people was marching towards Guiling Pass in a mighty manner.
These 250,000 troops are respectively Jinping Army, Longxing Army and Tiantai Army. As for Wang Hao's Qingshui Army, they have been stationed at Guiling Pass.
After five days of rapid march, the army finally arrived at Guiling Pass. After a brief rest, they set off again. This time, an army of 300,000 people was dispatched.
On this day, they also received news that the enemy's 200,000 advance troops had arrived in the capital and were stationed outside the capital. There was no sign of mobilizing troops yet.
After the army left Guiling Pass, they marched toward the south and entered the northeastern border of Hanzhong County.
Hanzhong County has five counties and one county town. Nie Chen and the others need to pass through Miancheng County and then arrive at the county town.
When they arrived in Miancheng County, the county magistrate there surrendered directly to Kaicheng. To be precise, it could not be considered a surrender, but a pledge of allegiance to Emperor Gale.
After all, their county only had a few hundred county soldiers, how could they possibly defeat Nie Chen's 300,000-strong army.
After Nie Chen saw the county magistrate, he accepted part of the food and grass, encouraged him a few words, and asked him to ensure the passage of food and grass for the army, and then continued his rapid march towards the county town.
He didn't have time to tangle with the county magistrate. As long as he controlled the county seat, he would basically be able to control the entire county.
And it was on this day that another news came from the capital.
Emperor Mingxuan of Great Korea named Mingwen the prince and Mingwu the general. He ordered Mingwu to lead 200,000 soldiers and horses as the vanguard to go north to attack Nie Chen.
He also ordered the 200,000 soldiers and horses who had not yet arrived in the capital to be appointed commanders of the army and serve as the central army to cooperate with Mingwu's 200,000 troops in combat.
The King of Zhennan also knew that the combined forces were very powerful in one place, but Nie Chen had already entered Hanzhong County. Hanzhong County was the last barrier to the capital and could not be missed, so he hurriedly asked Mingwu to lead his troops northward. .
