Chapter 5 Inheriting the Title, Anti-Rebellion Manifesto

In the Jinwang Mansion, the meeting hall was brightly lit and bustling with people.

The generals of the Longcheng garrison who had been waiting for Chen Huaian to come out to take charge of the situation could no longer sit still, and someone immediately stood up and proposed:

"General Pang, why don't you make a decision for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first? Whether to fight or retreat, we will all depend on the general to decide!"

As soon as this proposal came out, someone immediately echoed: "Yes, General, this is a matter of great importance and must be decided as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, when the thief Pang Qingyun's 100,000 troops arrive, whether to fight or retreat, we will be in a passive situation."

"Please make a quick decision!"

"Please make a decision!"

For a while, the generals of the Longcheng garrison in the meeting hall all turned their eyes to Pang Xianchu, the lieutenant general who was responsible for the specific command of the troops in the Longcheng garrison.

For these direct generals promoted by Jinwang Chen Polu, they were absolutely unwilling to accept the control of Northwest General Wu Qingyun.

The lesson of the past is still vivid. Half a year ago, the former generals of the Po Lu Army who were deprived of their military power and scattered to various places by the new emperor Zhao Gan did not have a good ending.

Either they were passively retired and idle at home, or they were used as cannon fodder during the war, and they died in a cowardly way.

This is the treatment of being scattered under the command of other generals. If it falls into the hands of Wu Qingyun, the general of the northwest who has always been at odds with the King of Jin, it may not even leave a complete body, and the whole family will be implicated.

Since it is going to die anyway, it is better to risk your life and fight the dog day, maybe you can win a glimmer of hope.

Facing the earnest eyes of the generals in Longcheng, Pang Xianchu felt unprecedented pressure.

He is an orphan who was adopted by King of Jin Chen Po Lu since he was a child. Loyalty, filial piety, chastity and righteousness are things engraved in Pang Xianchu's bones. Now he is asked to bypass the prince Chen Huaian to decide the fate of 8,000 Po Lu soldiers. This is something he can't do anyway.

Pang Xianchu knew better than anyone what these 8,000 Po Lu troops meant to the widow of the Jin Wang Mansion, who had just suffered a heavy blow.

Although, at this moment of life and death, someone must stand up and make a decision.

But Pang Xianchu knew that he should not and must not be the one to make the decision!

"Everyone, be quiet!"

After a long time, Pang Xianchu finally stood up and said: "Everyone, at this time of life and death, I can understand your feelings at the moment, but what I want to say is-"

"Like me, Pang Xianchu, you all have come to this day thanks to the grace of the Jin Wang. Now that the Jin Wang's body is still warm, I, Pang Xianchu, must not do such an overstepping thing?"

"When a person lives, he must at least be worthy of his conscience, right?"

Pang Xianchu said word by word, sonorous and powerful: "For me, Pang Xianchu Chu said that where there is the King of Jin, there is my place to stand. When the King of Jin dies, I will respect the Crown Prince. "

"Let alone Wu Qingyun's 100,000 bandits, even if there are ten kings of hell, what's the harm?"

"I, Pang Xianchu, swear to live and die with His Royal Highness and the family of the royal family!"

"Whether it's fighting or running, it can only and must be decided by His Royal Highness. It's nothing more than a worthless life. In eighteen years, it will be a hero again!"

After saying that, Pang Xianchu looked at the generals present with a sharp gaze and firmness.

For a moment, the generals were somewhat ashamed and knelt on one knee.

"General, we were wrong!"

"General, we are willing to follow His Royal Highness to death with you!"

"Follow His Royal Highness to death!"

......

Outside the meeting hall of the royal palace, Chen Huaian, who had already returned to the royal palace from the Longshan camp, heard everything that happened in the meeting hall through a door.

Pang Xianchu's loyalty and bravery were witnessed by everyone in the palace, and Chen Huaian knew it well.

As for the other generals of the Po Lu Army who stayed in Longcheng, King Jin Chen Po Lu was absolutely loyal when he was alive.

But now is different from the past. An imperial edict from Zhao Gan, the second emperor of Daxin, and the 100,000 troops of Wu Qingyun, the general of the northwest, have pushed the Jin Palace to the brink of life and death.

The instinct of human nature is to seek benefits and avoid harm.

Before this, Chen Huaian was not absolutely sure that these generals of the Longcheng garrison would be loyal to him as loyal to his father Chen Po Lu.

But now it seems that these generals left by Chen Po Lu to Chen Huaian are indeed loyal people, but they are a little impatient in times of crisis.

However, this is also good, morale can be used!

Finally, Chen Huaian, standing outside the meeting hall wearing golden armor and holding the golden whip, signaled to the servants of the palace with his eyes that they could report.

"His Highness, the Crown Prince, has arrived!"

As the servants of the palace outside the meeting hall shouted loudly, the guards standing at the door quickly pushed open the door, and a tall golden figure came in with the steps of a dragon and a tiger, and went straight to the meeting hall of the palace.

Swish!

The originally bustling meeting hall became silent, and all the generals of the Dragon City garrison, including Pang Xianchu, stood up and looked out the door at the same time.

Chen Huaian, who was wearing armor and holding a mace and walking with a breeze, was comparable to the young King of Jin Chen Polu in terms of demeanor and figure, and even more so in terms of aura.

For a moment, all the generals were stunned, as if the general who came was none other than the great general Chen Polu who had won hundreds of battles and killed countless enemies on the battlefield and made his opponents tremble with fear!

The generals were immediately shocked. They looked again and recognized that the person was Chen Huaian, the prince of Jin. They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: A tiger father will have a dog son!

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness!"

For a moment, the generals who came to their senses bowed to Chen Huaian.

Chen Huaian's firm eyes swept over the generals present one after another, then stayed on Pang Xianchu for two more seconds, and finally sat down on the main seat in the meeting hall without hesitation.

"Everyone, please sit down!"

The generals just sat down, but their eyes never moved away from Chen Huaian for a moment.

Chen Huaian said: "Everyone, you are all good generals in the army and the pillars of the country. You have followed the late king in the north and south for more than ten years, and you have made great contributions to the dynasty's expansion of territory;

Later, he guarded the frontiers of the dynasty to protect the people from being massacred and harassed by foreign tribes. He was loyal to the emperor and patriotic throughout his life, and he was unyielding. "

"But now that the new emperor has succeeded to the throne, he trusts treacherous ministers, wantonly kills loyal ministers, and allows the court to cause great disasters. As the pioneers and mainstay of the dynasty, are you willing to turn a blind eye and stand by while watching the treacherous ministers bring trouble to the court?"

"I don't want to!"

"I don't want to!"

"I don't want to!"

In the meeting hall, the generals were furious.

Chen Huaian added: "I, like all of you, do not want to see traitors in power harming loyal people."

"Before the death of the late emperor Zhenwu, he secretly gave the late emperor a golden mace, which he called the "king-beating golden whip". This was to deal with the current situation where the new emperor succeeded to the throne and trusted treacherous traitors to bring trouble to the court!"

As he spoke, Chen Huaian raised the golden mace in his hand high and said in a sonorous voice: "The great emperor Gao Xin gave him a golden whip to beat you unconscious and unfaithful in civil and military affairs. Gods and men must not avoid it!"

"Now the new emperor is ignorant and treacherous, bringing trouble to the court and destroying the loyal and good--"

"I, Chen Huaian, the crown prince of the Jin Dynasty who was professed by Emperor Zhenwu, the Great Ancestor of the Great New Empire, am determined to officially inherit the title of the Jin Prince today. I hold the golden mace to appease Nan, to clear the emperor's side, and to defeat the king and eradicate his traitors!"

"You, the pillars of the country, loyal ministers and good generals, are willing to join forces with me to raise troops to fight against the rebellion, so as to stabilize the country and show your loyalty?"

"willing!"

"willing!"

"willing!"

In the meeting hall, all the generals were excited and answered in unison.

Seeing that his morale was ready, Chen Huaian issued his first order after inheriting the title of King of Jin: "Generals, listen to the order——"

"The general is here!"

All the generals stood up and waited for orders.

Chen Huaian said: "The Longcheng defenders immediately mobilized their troops and strengthened the city's defenses. They fought for the first battle against the rebels and faced Wu Qingyun, the leader of the rebel Yunhui Army. Let's get ready to go!"

"The general will get the order!"

Chen Huaian said again: "General Pang, please stay for a while!"

Hearing this, Pang Xianchu immediately stopped.

In the huge meeting hall of the palace, only Chen Huaian and Pang Xianchu were left. The flickering candlelight stretched their reflections to a long distance. They held candlelight talks at night and planned to raise an army together.

That night.

General Pang Xianchu of the Longcheng garrison stayed in the meeting hall of the Jin Palace until midnight, and did not leave in a hurry until the rooster crowed.

Chen Huaian had already told Pang Xianchu all about his strategy to deal with the enemy, but he had concealed the fact that the Longshan Camp ambushed 80,000 elite cavalry.

Just telling Pang Xianchu that Longcheng is not alone, but that a large number of reinforcements are coming, should be a reassurance to Pang Xianchu!
