The queen bullies me every day

Chapter 478

Zhuo Ben's death caused his soldiers and guards to lose their backbone. Without Zhuo Ben to lead them, the army's morale became a mess.

At this time, the burden of gathering the scattered sand fell on the shoulders of those 'offenders' who were forgiven by Xuan Jue.

The military strength Zhuo Ben held was like a big cake, which was shared and eaten by these courtiers.

These soldiers and guards belonging to the various courtiers and military officers originally wanted to kill Xuanjue and support Zhuo Ben to ascend the throne, but after following the new lord, they did not expect that the new lord had already been persuaded by Xuanjue to give up the idea of ​​usurping the throne.

The leaders were all settled in Dazhao, so they naturally lost the ability to rebel. This civil strife ended with Zhuo Ben's death.

The only dilemma that Dazhao will face next is the invasion of the Nanman tribe.

The Shuiman Dazhao incident made Xuanjue lose the hearts of the people. If he came forward to unite the whole country and unite with foreign enemies, it would inevitably backfire, so these things were all done by Xuanjue.

In the past, everyone said that the fourth son of the emperor, Murong Xuanpin, only knows how to practice martial arts, and he is good at fists and feet, but he is a man with an empty head and no talent.

After this incident, Xuan Jue also understood that those were just rumors.

It was also the first time he knew that in the past Xuan Ping pretended to be a fool and seemed ignorant of state affairs, all because he listened to his mother, the concubine, the empress dowager.

At that time, Xuanjue was in charge of the imperial power for the first time, and the imperial concubine was afraid that Xuanjue's sharpness would attract the schemes of the Queen Mother Zhang, so she asked Xuanjue to pretend to be crazy and foolish in Zhaodu, and don't do anything too sharp .

The fact that Xuan Ping pretended to be stupid has already revealed clues.Under his rule, the people of Zhoucheng were even more prosperous than Zhaodu. How can such achievements be achieved by a person who knows nothing about politics?

Three days later, the militiamen from all over the country in Jokhang were united in one mind, vowing to resist foreign enemies and defend the land of Jokhang.

Xuan Jue found out the secret agents of the Nanman who were lurking in Zhaodu one by one, and sentenced them to death.

The Nanman tribe doesn't know that the civil strife in Dazhao has been lifted, and they are still complacent and think that they can get something cheap.

It wasn't until their advance troops entered the border of Dazhao that they were beaten by the Zhao army who had ambushed early in the morning and fled. Only then did they know that they had been fooled.

In their eyes, they only thought that the civil strife in Dazhao was a deliberately created appearance in order to lure them into the bait and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the leader of the Nanman army won only one battle after attacking thirteen cities in a row, so they fled back to Nanman in disgrace.

The invading foreign enemies were driven away, and the people naturally rejoiced.

The people and the imperial city were full of joy, only Xuan Ping said to Xuan Jue in private: "Your Majesty, I think it is time to take advantage of the victory and pursue the attack, and take advantage of the high morale to go to war against the Nanman, and completely bring the Nanman under my command. As long as the Nanman is flattened , Dazhao truly managed to unify the world.”

"The Nanman is located in a remote place, surrounded by dangerous mountains, and has the skills of witches and Gu. A forced attack may be self-defeating. Can fourth brother be sure?"

"Naturally." Xuan Ping said with confidence, "Where do we need to pursue it to the territory of the Nanman tribe? Zuo Mudan, the leader of the Nanman tribe, thought it would be easy to take down Dazhao with a snake swallowing an elephant. What a brilliant stroke, this time he personally led the troops. Now that he has suffered a lot and lost the battle, he led the cavalry and fled to the Southern Barbarians, but it depends on whether he has the ability to escape back."

Xuan Ping waved his hand out of the window, and said in high spirits: "Don't chase the poor. I have always disagreed with this statement. Since he is a poor, he should be eradicated, so that he will never have a chance to make a comeback. Zhaodu's iron cavalry troops march faster than those of the Nanman. Zima was many times faster, and the ministers led the troops to catch up with Zuo Mudan to take his head, and the Nanman tribe would be defeated without a leader. At that time, if Dazhao marched into the Nanman tribe again, he would wipe them out in one fell swoop and return them to the court."

Xuan Jue laughed loudly and said, "Fourth Brother can do what he thinks he should do, and he doesn't need to discuss it with me."

"Why?" Xuan Ping asked suspiciously, "What does the emperor mean by this?"

"It's nothing." Xuan Jue smiled and shook his head, putting his hands on Xuan Fing's shoulders, "I believe Fourth Brother can handle these things well."

That night, the two brothers did not talk too much about state affairs, but had two drinks and two games of chess.

Xuan Ping always felt that after Xuan Jue came back this time, he seemed to be a bit different from before. In the past, his temperament of caring about the world would never allow Xuan Ping to provoke war against Nanman.

But today, he accepted his proposal so easily, which is really not like him.

Perhaps the matter of Shui Man's big move really made Xuan Jue see the dangers of the world, and he didn't have so much obsession with those so-called innocent lives.

The next day Xuan Ping led the army to go out to pursue Zuo Mudan's Nanman army.

One month later, the good news came that Xuan Fing completely defeated Zuo Mudan's army at the Nanguan Pass, and beheaded Zuo Mudan's head and sent it to the Nanman tribe.

When he returned in triumph, it took another four months to recover all the tribes of the Nanman, making the world unified.

The courtiers of the previous dynasty recognized Xuan Ting's ability in governing the country, and he dared not take credit for it, only saying that everything was Xuan Jue's idea.

And what about Xuan Jue?

During Xuan Ting's conquest of Nanman, he had been hiding in the palace, accompanying Chu Jin, his mother, and his two children.

He has never been to court once, and has left the court, spending all his time with his loved ones.

Even the Empress Dowager Zhang said: "After so many years, the time you spent with Ai's family is less than these five months."

Sometimes Xiaoxiao would remind Xuanjue that even if he was dealing with errands, he had to show up at Chaoyang Palace frequently, otherwise those courtiers would not know what nonsense to say.

But in this case, Chu Jin and Queen Mother Zhang never told Xuan Jue.

They are Xuan Jue's closest relatives, how could they not know Xuan Jue's thoughts?
During the five months he was with his family, he had a knowing smile on his face every day.

He is enjoying the current life from the bottom of his heart, and he is also happy from the bottom of his heart.

Is it important to him whether he is the emperor or not, whether he is the supreme being in the world?

His most important people are all by his side now, so why should he allocate his limited energy to deal with those tedious state affairs?

In the current situation, the more he does, the more abuse he gets.

He wanted to understand this point, and he didn't care about the harm brought to him by the people of Dazhao.

At the same time, he also decided not to be their king.

He was not Murong Ke's son in the first place, and this world should not be his.

Having been in charge of the Emperor Yuxi for the Murong family for so many years, it is time to hand it over to the person who really deserves it.

At this moment, Nian Ge was nestled in Xuan Jue's arms, and Luan Yu was making trouble with Chu Jin to let him take him to the Royal Garden to play. Empress Dowager Zhang looked at their mother and son and laughed from ear to ear.

Being emperor is not the most proud thing in the world.

You already have the best of everything in the world, don't you?
