Chapter 395 The Two Brothers' Choice
Looking at the women who were fast asleep, Jiang Chen put on his dragon robe.
Then he quietly got out of bed and slowly walked out of the bedroom.
As a martial arts master who has attained the highest level of acquired martial arts, he can stay awake without needing to sleep.
After washing up with the help of the palace maid, Jiang Chen strolled into the study.
Jiang Chen is not the kind of tyrant who would not attend court early in the morning because of his own selfish desires.
Not long after arriving at the Imperial Study, members of the Cabinet and the Grand Council arrived one after another.
Yuan Taifu, Xu Tao, and Chen Huai followed Gongsun Liang into the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"
"Long live the emperor!"
Looking at the group of civil and military officials, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile slightly.
After waving his hand casually, he spoke to the crowd.
"Okay, everyone, get up. I'm not someone who's hard to talk to."
"Tell me, what news has been sent back from the Ant Nest?"
Jiang Chen smiled in an approachable manner and looked at everyone.
In response to Jiang Chen's question, Zhang Fei, who was in charge of the "Ant Hole", stood up.
"Report to His Majesty, based on reliable information."
"In Qi, it is suspected that an old ancestor of the royal family has returned."
"If the intelligence is correct, this is the royal ancestor of Qi State."
"It is very likely that he has returned from the 'Ancient Holy Land'!"
It turns out that according to the investigation results of "Ant Hole" during this period.
Jiang Chen got a piece of news, that is, the various schools of thought that flourished in ancient times.
It has not been lost in the long river of history, but is hidden in a secret place called "the Ancient Holy Land".
Jiang Chen had never expected this result .
This means that Jiang Chen has inadvertently gained a group of enemies.
But for Jiang Chen, this may not be bad news.
After all, he is now a master of acquired skills and is in the so-called "ancient holy land".
He is also a rare martial arts master!
The existence of the "Ancient Holy Land" also explained to Jiang Chen why in the secular world.
The reason why there are so few so-called Huajin masters...
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen said to Zhang Fei.
"This news is very important, Zhang Fei. I order you to closely monitor the situation in Qi."
"If this Qi royal ancestor has any whereabouts, report to me immediately!"
After hearing Jiang Chen's order, Zhang Fei quickly bowed and accepted the order.
"I understand, Your Majesty, please rest assured!"
After seeing Zhang Fei accept the order, Jiang Chen turned his attention to Gongsun Liang and others standing aside.
"Gongsun Liang, Master Yuan, how are the things I asked you to prepare going?"
In response to Jiang Chen's question, Gongsun Liang and Master Yuan stepped forward, bowed to Jiang Chen, and replied.
"Your Majesty, we have investigated and if the capital is moved."
"Jibei City in the northern border is indeed more suitable to be the capital of our Yan Nation!"
"And in accordance with your majesty's instructions, we have ordered the Ministry of Works to summon craftsmen from all over the country."
"Within three months, the new capital will be completed!"
After hearing this news, Jiang Chen was even happier.
After conquering the capital of Xia State, Jiang Chen felt it more and more.
Given the current land area of Yan State, the original capital is not conducive to the development of Yan State.
Therefore, moving the capital is undoubtedly the best choice!
However, the most urgent task for Yan State at the moment is not only to move the capital.
These are things like recruiting soldiers, expanding the army, and enlisting scholars and military generals from the people!
Although there are supplements from the Northern Border Martial Arts School and Academy, Jiang Chen's troops are still too short of talented commanders who can lead a region on their own.
Now, as the area of Yan State expands, this problem becomes more and more obvious.
And after Jiang Chen's assessment, among the generals in the northern border under his command.
Only Huo Xiang, Guo Qing, and Han Zhong have such talent...
Therefore, in order to stabilize all parties as quickly as possible, Jiang Chen could only send the three of them to Liangzhou, which was integrated with the Western Territory.
The economic center of the south - Yangzhou, and the soon-to-be-vacated Jizhou with the capital of the Xia State as its capital.
Under such an arrangement, the possibility of unrest in the entire Yan State was instantly reduced.
After discussing various matters regarding military expansion with a group of civil and military officials.
Jiang Chen then slowly led his four personal guards to a small courtyard in the harem.
After Qinglong pushed open the gate, Jiang Chen slowly walked in.
I saw two young men playing chess under the tree in the yard.
Hearing Jiang Chen's footsteps, the two young men put down the chess pieces in their hands at the same time.
"Yu Shuo, I pay my respects to His Majesty the Emperor Yan!"
A young man stood up, and when he found out that the person was Jiang Chen, he immediately bowed to the ground.
The other young man just bowed perfunctorily.
He turned around, facing away from Jiang Chen, without saying a word.
Looking at the silent young man, Jiang Chen walked over with a smile.
"Brother Qingbei, why don't you say a word to me when you see me?"
These two young men were the two survivors of the Yu family, Yu Qingbei, the son of King Huai'an, and Yu Shuo, the King of An.
After Jiang Chen ascended the throne, he did not kill these two people.
Instead, a small courtyard was specially reserved for the two of them in the palace.
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Yu Qingbei turned his head aside and said coldly.
"Your Majesty the Emperor Yan, you have gone too far in saying this, Brother Qingbei."
"How can I, Yu Qingbei, deserve to be addressed like this by His Majesty the Emperor Yan!"
After saying that, Yu Qingbei closed his eyes and sat there quietly.
Looking at Yu Qingbei who was very cold to him, Jiang Chen stopped Qinglong who was about to take action.
"Brother Qingbei, what are you talking about?"
"I came to see you because I want to ask you something."
"I don't know, Brother Qingbei, are you willing to work for me and the people of Yan Country?"
After hearing Jiang Chen's words, Yu Qingbei opened his eyes in surprise.
After looking Jiang Chen up and down, he asked calmly.
"Let me do something for you?"
"Haha, isn't His Majesty the Emperor Yan afraid that I will start a rebellion?"
Facing Yu Qingbei's question, Jiang Chen smiled nonchalantly.
"Hahahaha, I'm not afraid."
"I believe that the Yu Qingbei who stood before me and talked to me about the world has never changed!"
"I know you may still hate me in your heart."
"But I also hope that Brother Qingbei, you remember that I was not the one who killed the King of Huai'an."
"Although he committed suicide, he is also one of the people I admire most in my life."
Jiang Chen said this while bowing to Yu Qingbei.
"No matter what choice Brother Qingbei makes in the end, I will let you out."
After saying that, Jiang Chen turned around and walked out of the courtyard without looking back.
Looking at Jiang Chen's departing back, Yu Shuo stepped forward.
"Brother Wang, how about we take refuge with this Flame Emperor?"
"My uncle the Emperor and my uncle the Prince of Huai'an both said this before they died."
"My Yu family has long lost the support of the people. The fault is not with His Majesty the Emperor Yan."
As Yu Qingbei listened to the words of his only surviving relative, his heart gradually began to waver.
