Chapter 386 Father-in-law and Son-in-law
After hearing what Jiang Chen said, Master Yuan didn't know how to respond for a moment.
He could only turn around with his old face hung and return to his ministers in shame.
Looking at Master Yuan who had calmed down, Jiang Chen smiled slightly.
Then he spoke to the ministers of Xia State.
"I have no intention of continuing to argue with you!"
"If Yu Anmin can sit on the throne, why can't I do the same?"
"I won't say anything more."
"If you still have any objections, go to the prison!"
After saying that, Jiang Chen turned around, walked down from the dragon throne, and walked straight out of the Golden Palace.
After Jiang Chen left, the ministers of Xia State looked at each other.
Obviously, after what happened just now.
They have already begun to accept Jiang Chen's words in their hearts.
Even the old ministers, such as Yuan Taifu, who were loyal to the royal family, remained silent.
…
After leaving the Golden Palace, Jiang Chen met with a minister from the Xia Kingdom.
This person is Jiang Chen’s future father-in-law—General Chen Huai of the Left!
Chen Huai had never expected that Jiang Chen would reach the height he is today step by step.
He also didn't expect that he would meet Jiang Chen again in this life.
When they left the capital, he, as a father,
I had already prepared to say goodbye to my daughter forever.
But I never thought that after only four years, Jiang Chen had already become the master of Xia Kingdom!
Looking at my son-in-law who has become more mature and handsome compared to four years ago.
Chen Huai nodded with satisfaction, patted Jiang Chen on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Son-in-law, this is the thing I regret least in my life."
"I handed my daughter over to you, and you didn't let me down."
As Chen Huai spoke, his tiger eyes were filled with tears.
Faced with the praise from his future father-in-law, Jiang Chen scratched his head a little embarrassedly.
Then, he bowed to Chen Huai and said.
"Father-in-law, please don't get excited."
"Once the affairs of the capital are settled, I will take you to the northern border."
"When the time comes, you can live in my mansion."
"How about letting Yueru accompany you?"
Jiang Chen said this while smiling at Chen Huai in a flattering manner.
After Jiang Chen's comfort, Chen Huai finally calmed down.
"Okay, I will follow your arrangements."
"But..."
"There is one thing you need to do for me first."
Chen Huai said this while smiling meaningfully at Jiang Chen.
Faced with Chen Huai's words, Jiang Chen was confused for a moment.
Is there anything I promised Chen Huai that I haven't done yet?
Looking at Jiang Chen's confused expression, Chen Huai snorted coldly with some displeasure.
Then he said to Jiang Chen with some dissatisfaction.
"You kid, when are you going to marry my Yueru?"
After hearing what Chen Huai said, Jiang Chen finally reacted.
Although he and Chen Yueru had already been married, they had not yet held a formal wedding.
In other words, Chen Yueru was well-educated and well-mannered, and didn't bother with these things.
If this happened to Concubine Shu back then, Jiang Chen would probably have slept alone every day.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen no longer hesitated and bowed to Chen Huai.
He made the promise to Chen Huai with an unwavering look on his face.
"Father-in-law, don't worry."
"Once I have dealt with matters in the capital of Xia, I will hold the wedding immediately!"
After getting Jiang Chen's promise, Chen Huai left with satisfaction.
After seeing Chen Huai off, Jiang Chen called Gongsun Liang over.
After Gongsun Liang arrived at the bedroom where Jiang Chen was temporarily staying, Jiang Chen asked straight to the point.
"Military Advisor, in your opinion, when should I choose to ascend the throne?"
When Jiang Chen asked this, Gongsun Liang did not answer his question immediately.
Instead, he sat down and thought hard.
Then he bowed and replied to Jiang Chen with a smile.
"My lord, according to Liang's opinion."
"Liang feels that now is not the best time for the Lord to ascend the throne."
As he spoke, Gongsun Liang took out a map from his arms and spread it out.
Then he pointed to the southern half of Xia Kingdom and said to Jiang Chen.
"My Lord, if you want to ascend the throne."
"Whatever happens, we have to wait for Canglang Nation to hand over the conquered territory first, right?"
After hearing this, Jiang Chen finally reacted .
Only when all of Xia's territories are in Jiang Chen's hands can he legitimately ascend the throne.
After figuring out the problem, Jiang Chen continued to speak to Gongsun Liang.
"Military Advisor, if that's the case, then you can go back later."
"Immediately write a letter and have Ant Cave deliver it to tell Guan Zhihe."
"Have her declare her submission to me as soon as possible, so that I can be more legitimate."
"Yes, my lord, I understand!"
After receiving Jiang Chen's order, Gongsun Liang quickly retreated.
After receiving Jiang Chen's letter, Guan Zhihe wrote back to Jiang Chen a few days later.
It means that Jiang Chen can ascend the throne anytime he wants.
She would directly lead the Canglang Kingdom to declare it as a vassal state of Jiang Chen.
This news immediately made Jiang Chen very excited.
However, while feeling extremely happy, Jiang Chen was not idle.
After all, Yu Anmin is quite diligent in his work.
But it still left Jiang Chen with a lot of mess, such as the treasury of Xia Kingdom.
After checking, Jiang Chen discovered it.
In the past few years, the treasury of the Xia Kingdom has been missing a quarter of its wealth!
But fortunately, we have the help of the "ant nest".
Jiang Chen quickly found several typical examples among those corrupt officials who had embezzled money and accepted bribes.
Then their property was confiscated, which was used to make up for the shortfall in the national treasury.
After doing these things, Jiang Chen regained control of the Jinyiwei organization that he had founded.
Over the years, thanks to the efforts of Yu Anmin and King Huai'an.
The Jinyiwei is not much worse than the "Ant Hole"!
Jiang Chen was very excited about this matter.
Immediately, an idea came to his mind, that is, to merge the Jinyiwei and the "Ant Hole" together.
Wouldn't that mean that the intelligence capabilities of his subordinates would be able to rise to a higher level?
However, this matter sounds simple.
But if it is really to be implemented, it will be quite difficult.
After all, Jinyiwei was founded by Jiang Chen.
But Jiang Chen has handed it over for so many years, there must be members among them who are loyal to Yu Anmin.
Just when Jiang Chen was worried about this matter, Gongsun Liang hurriedly walked into the imperial study.
Without waiting for Jiang Chen to ask, Gongsun Liang impatiently bowed and explained his purpose to Jiang Chen.
"My lord, there is news from the imperial physician."
"Yu Anmin, wake up!"
Upon hearing the news, Jiang Chen immediately stood up and walked towards Yu Anmin's bedroom.
