"Mr. Immortal!" a knight shouted from a distance. The scene in front of him made him both confused and nervous. He said that these people were army members, not even complete armored clothes. The clothes were already torn and covered with mud, and they looked like clay men just drilled out of the ground. But if you say that these people were refugees, they had obvious queues, divided into front, back, left and right, and many people were holding weapons.

The Knight wondered if the Fury Hou was really inside, and planned to shout three times, but he immediately turned around and returned to the team without responding. As soon as he shouted for the second time, two people walked out of the team ahead, all covered in mud, and could no longer see what the original clothes looked like.

"Who is here, who will announce the edict?" Donghai King shouted loudly. He was not willing to be the spokesperson for Han Ruzi, but he was too curious. He believed that this edict was not only very important to Han Ruzi, but also had a great impact on himself.

The knight was stunned and replied in a vain: "Yes, it is the Grand Commander of the Army, Lord Han, wait a moment."

The knight looked carefully for a while and rode his horse back to report.

"It's not the eunuch in the palace, but it's actually a Korean star." Donghai King was surprised, "A big thing must have happened in the court, and my uncle may have other difficulties..."

Han Ruzi turned around and said to Chao Hua and Jin Chunzhong: "Be prepared and listen to my orders at any time."

The two bowed to take the order and quietly ordered someone to pass the orders to the centuries of each team.

Donghai King said: "What do you want to do? Do you resist the imperial edict? This is called rebellion. If I had known this, it would be better to uprising according to my plan. At this time, you might have been on the throne."

A small group of knights came from a distance. When more than a hundred steps apart, most of the knights stopped, and only one continued to move forward. They stopped their horses in front of Han Ruzi. It was Han Xing, the commander-in-chief of the military and horses.

The Korean star smiled and said, "Come here to help me get off the horse."

King Donghai stared at him. Although he and Han Ruzi were juniors, they were taller than Han Xing in terms of titles. There was no reason to help this old guy get off the horse.

Han Ruzi stepped forward, and Donghai King whispered behind him: "Just let the guards help him."

Han Ruzi still walked to the front of the horse and reached out to greet him. Han Xing slowly got off the horse, and his whole body was pressing against Han Ruzi's hands. It was quite heavy. After his feet landed on the ground, he let out a long sigh, "You can't accept your old age, and your body will scatter when you go out to the city."

Han Ruzi smiled but said nothing. He remembered that the elder of the royal family was taciturn in the Qinzheng Pavilion and had almost never spoke much. When the palace changed last year, Han Xing finally got the Taizu sword, but claimed that the sword was sent by the Empress Dowager.

Han Xing took off a secret bag from his neck, took out a volume of imperial edict from it, and did not read it immediately. He looked up at the crowd on the official road, "Is this the rebel army gathered by the lord?"

"The court already knows?"

"Haha, if you don't even know what happened in the capital, the court will not be the court. Well, it's not bad, the army is neat and the fighting spirit is high."

"Speak if you have something to say. Don't sarcastically." King Donghai came over and stared at the imperial edict.

"Sarcastic? Why did the King of East China say this? The Northern Captains invaded and the world was frightened. At this critical moment, Juehou and the people in the capital held high the flag of righteousness and led the world first. Who would not respect the civil and military officials in the court?"

"Hey, it sounds nice, so that's it. Are you here to be the official?"

Han Xing nodded with a smile, "That's right." He said, and handed the imperial edict to Han Ruzi. "Jianhou will read it yourself."

Han Ruzi didn't need to kneel down when receiving the order, but he read the imperial edict by himself. It was still a bit strange. He took the imperial edict and opened it and read it again, and became more and more confused.

Tokai Neptune watched together, "This, this..." and snatched it over and watched it again, "What the hell is going on?"

"Let's announce the order first." Han Xing smiled.

"You come." Han Ruzi was calm.

The King of Donghai suppressed his confusion and turned to face the crowd. The man said, "The imperial edict said: I heard that I have praised the virtues and rewarded the talents. The friendship between ancient and modern times is the loyal and righteous man in his heart, and he promoted the virtues outside. He wrote a letter to seek war to safeguard the country. I highly praised him. He was also granted the title of General Zhenbei of Zhen and more than 1,000 households."

The righteous soldiers gathered over and broke the queue. Most of them didn't understand the meaning of the imperial edict, and their faces were full of confusion.

The King of Donghai said helplessly: "Jenhou Zhenbei... It is this one. He was named General Zhenbei. You will be the officers and soldiers of the Great Chu who eat imperial food in the future."

Everyone suddenly realized and cheered in unison. Someone also whispered to Chao Hua: "We were going to avoid recruitment and recruit Ding Cai to gather in the village by the riverside of Yi River. Why... why have they become officers and soldiers again?"

Chao Hua waved his hand and used his prestige to persuade the people around him to raise objections.

"Mr. Jue received the order." Han Ruzi said, taking the order from the King of East China Sea.

The smile on the Korean star's face was put away, "Jianhou seems not very happy."

King Donghai said first: "I was trapped in the wilderness for several days. Someone attacked him, but no one came to rescue him. He was in the dark and knew nothing about the matter in the court. Is it happy that he was suddenly named General Zhenbei?"

Korean star put away his smile, "Please take a step to speak."

Han Ruzi nodded, turned around and gestured to Chao Hua, Jin Chunzhong, asking the two to reorganize the queue, and then followed Han Xing to the side of the road. King Donghai followed him, Han Xing stopped and shook his head slightly.

"I only ask one thing, my uncle... how is Mr. Cui?"

"Teacher Cui? Everything is fine. He has written a letter to ask for battle and was named General of the Polu."

King Tokai was stunned on the spot.

Han Xing led Juanhou to walk dozens of steps, and no one left and right, and whispered: "Junhou has suffered a lot these days, right?"

"Fortunately, aren't this coming out?"

Han Xing nodded with a smile, "I won't guess the riddle with Juanhou. Many things have happened in the court these days, some of which are related to Juanhou."

"I am currently confused, I hope the Governor will inform you."

"Teacher Cui and King Donghai intend to rebel, do you understand?"

Han Ruzi nodded. He didn't believe in this person very much, so he tried to listen to it as much as possible.

"Fortunately, the Empress Dowager was prepared, and fortunately, Juenhou... stopped his horse and eliminated a major chaos."

"The Queen Mother is ready?"

Han Xing did not explain and continued: "Mr. Jue Hou will understand in the future. Just yesterday, Grand Tutor Cui took a risk and colluded with Marquis Chanjun, the Grand Sima of the Northern Army, intending to attack the capital."

It was not until this time that Han Ruzi was shocked, "Champion Hou?"

The champion Hou Hanshi was supported by the empress dowager. How could he join forces with Taifu Cui to rebel? Han Ruzi couldn't understand.

"Of course. Both of them admitted to rebellion and were very cautious. They instigated the Hengyang Hou to attack the rebel army. They wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill the Jue and the King of Donghai, and then proclaim that everything was done by the court. In this way, they disturbed the hearts of the people and provided an excuse for the northern and southern army to enter the city."

Han Ruzi was stunned for a while and asked, "The North and South Army have joined forces, and there is no one in the capital to compete. Do you still need an excuse?"

Han Xing smiled and said, "Of course, Jue Hou may not have much knowledge of the Northern and Southern Army. The two armies are under the Grand Sima, even the ninth-rank generals. They need to be appointed by the Ministry of War. Of course, the Grand Sima can be nominated, but in the end they still have to obtain permission from the court. In the end of Emperor Wu, the Grand Sima's power increased day by day, but it was not as big as a hand covering the sky. The list of generals and officers of the two armies is in the Grand General's Office. According to my estimate, 20% of the generals of the Northern Army, 40% of the generals of the Southern Army were nominated by the Grand Sima, and the rest were directly assigned by the Ministry of War."

Han Ruzi understood that the north and south armies were not completely loyal to the Grand Sima. Most generals and officials still obeyed the court's orders, and he immediately had questions, "When Taifu Cui returned to Beijing to seize the Southern Army privately, the court seemed helpless."

"The situation is different. Cui Taifu served as the Grand Marshal of the Southern Army during the reign of Emperor Wu of Emperor Wu, and his power in the army had already become established. Last year, he returned to the capital with the remaining power of defeating the King of Qi. Of course, he was highly supported by military officials, and at that time..." Han Xing made a embarrassed look, and he could not say some words, whether publicly or privately.

"I understand." Han Ruzi said that last summer, he and King Donghai were the only two remaining sons of Emperor Huan. He was the most qualified to inherit the throne. The Southern Army supported the Cui family and King Donghai. He was also famous. This year, when the throne was transferred, Emperor Huan's bloodline was no longer the only qualification.

Hou Hanshi, the champion of the Northern Army's Grand Sima, is the orphan of the first prince of Emperor Wu, and his qualifications are even higher.

"Since the palace transformation, the court has been trying to recover all the appointment power of the two armies of the north and south. Cui Taifu was a little anxious. Unexpectedly, the champion Hou was also anxious, so he was convinced by Cui Taifu. Alas, he still..." Han Xing shook his head with a wry smile, looking a little disappointed, "No matter what, Juan Hou and King Donghai are safe, Cui Taifu's plan failed again. The champion Hou regretted it and immediately apologized to the court and told everything. Cui Taifu also wrote a letter to apologize this morning. His Majesty thought that the frontier was at the time of employment and it was not appropriate to kill the generals, so he forgave the two Grand Marshals and asked them to make meritorious contributions in the northern border."

The so-called "morial court" and "Your Majesty" refer to the empress dowager. Han Ruzi tried hard to recall that he had seen many appointments of generals and officials in the mansion, but he would not state in the memorial that "recommendation of the Grand Sima" or "selected by the Ministry of War". As for the appointment of low-level generals, they would not appear in the mansion.

The Empress Dowager actually resolved the military power of the two Grand Marshals through a group of ministers. The King of Donghai always talked about the "100,000 Southern Army". In fact, the Grand Tutor Cui could not command 100,000 people.

Han Ruzi still had many doubts, but Han Xing would not be complacent about him. Han Ruzi could only keep it in his heart for the time being and asked: "The army in the north and south are all going to the northern border, who will guard the capital?"

"The court has its own arrangements. Please follow me to return to Beijing to thank me. Juanhou wrote a letter to ask for battle, and he did have a good leader. The people who asked for battle before were all real-time generals, and a large number of noble relatives watched. After Juanhou set an example, he asked for battle and memorials suddenly increased..."

"Has the Grand Governor asked for a fight?" Han Ruzi didn't ask who wrote the memorial for him.

Han Xing smiled and said, "Although I am old, I always have a loyal heart to the emperor, how dare I live in the next generation? The first memorial to ask for battle was submitted by me, but Your Majesty has not approved it yet."

All the crises no longer exist for the time being, and Han Ruzi was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, "Okay, please ask the Grand Commander to lead the way."

"After returning to the capital, Juanhou will receive more rewards. Since ancient times... Juanhou asked." Han Xing swallowed the word "destroyed emperor" in time.

The two returned to their original place together, and Han Ruzi carried the Korean star on the horse.

"I will order people to send a few horses here later. The rebels can station outside the city. I have arranged a camp." Han Xing patted the horse and went to meet with the guards.

"What did the old guy say?" asked Donghai King.

"It's nothing. It seems that the problems have been solved. We can go back to Beijing."

Donghai King did not hear Han Xing's explanation, but only heard Han Ruzi say the result, and frowned, "The Queen Mother asked us to return to Beijing to thank you?"

"I asked me to go back to Beijing, but I didn't mention you."

"Same, when you go back, I have to go back too." Donghai King suddenly grabbed Han Ruzi's arm, "You can't go back to Beijing, you must never go back to Beijing. Once you enter the city gate, we will never get out again."
