Chapter 19: The Marquis of Zhenguo

Ye Jiuxing?
Hearing this name, Zhao Wan'er was shocked.

She didn't expect that the peace of the Dayu Dynasty was suppressed by Ye Jiuxing alone.

At the same time, this was the first time she knew that there were so many cancers in the Dayu Dynasty.

Wang Ya saw Zhao Wan'er's expression change and couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, don't you know this?"

"This"

Zhao Wan'er was speechless.

God!

You really don't know?

Wang Ya exclaimed inwardly, still somewhat speechless. Even a seventh-rank official could know the basic situation of the Dayu Dynasty like the back of his hand.

As the ruler of a country, Zhao Wan'er didn't understand it very well!
I still think that the domestic forces are quite honest!
"Treacherous minister!"

Zhao Wan'er didn't know what Wang Ya was thinking. She was filled with anger and said coldly, "Ye Jiuxing never told me these things. He has long had the intention of being disloyal!"

However, Zhao Wan'er forgot.

Ye Jiuxing had reported the situation of the Dayu Dynasty many times.

But at that time, Zhao Wan'er had just ascended the throne and was still excited. She didn't even look at the memorial handed in by Ye Jiuxing. She also scolded Ye Jiuxing for making a fuss and told him not to submit memorials at every turn.

Later, Ye Jiuxing turned the tables and suppressed various forces, and he never reported the matter again.

He just submitted a memorial to show that the world was at peace.

It just so happened that Zhao Wan'er read the memorial and kept it in mind.

Wang Ya cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise and has seen through the conspiracy of the treacherous minister Ye Jiuxing! That is why we have to be wary of local forces! We must be on guard against others!"

"The Prime Minister is right!"

Zhao Wan'er pondered and ordered sternly: "Send an order to have Gong Hou Chen Jiazheng mobilize the four divisions and eight guards of 'Heavenly Supervision' to monitor the local forces!"

"As ordered!"

Outside the hall, several eunuchs were waiting. One of them heard the order and immediately went to convey it.

Wang Ya frowned and asked worriedly, "Your Majesty, is Chen Jiazheng reliable?"

His worries are not without reason.

Chen Jiazheng!
The new commander of Jiantian is in charge of four departments and controls eight guards. He can mobilize tens of thousands of spies and holds a high position of power, but his background is questionable.

Before this, Chen Jiazheng had another name, Ye Jia!

He is one of Ye Jiuxing's subordinates.

It was not until later that Chen Jiazheng realized that the empress wanted to eliminate Ye Jiuxing. In order to protect himself, he took the initiative to rebel and became a disciple of the empress.

Chen Jiazheng played a big role in the empress's ability to disintegrate Ye Jiuxing's forces.

"rest assured!"

Zhao Wan'er smiled and said, "Chen Jiazheng has many flaws, but he has advantages that others don't have. He took the initiative to betray Ye Jiuxing. Once Ye Jiuxing rises, he will definitely die!"

After hearing this, Wang Ya stopped persuading him.

At least, when it comes to dealing with Ye Jiuxing, Chen Jiazheng will put in 100% of his energy and is trustworthy.

As long as Ye Jiuxing is alive, Chen Jiazheng can only be a docile dog.

He has no other choice!

"Stop talking about this!"

Zhao Wan'er waved her hand, looking at the information on the imperial desk, a trace of worry appeared between her brows, and she said in a deep voice: "Ye Jiuxing occupied Yong County and defeated Ling Yunhong to gain a firm foothold. We must defeat him as soon as possible!"

She became more and more wary of Ye Jiuxing.

Especially after knowing that Ye Jiuxing had suppressed all the forces in Dayu by his own strength, he became even more terrified and wished he could behead Ye Jiuxing immediately.

Wang Ya hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I suggest that you ask the Marquis of Zhenguo to mobilize the best troops in the country to destroy Ye Jiuxing in one fell swoop!"

"Marquis of Zhenguo?"

Zhao Wan'er fell into deep thought. Speaking of this Zhenguo Hou, he was another legend of the Dayu Dynasty. He was a figure three hundred years ago. He rose from obscurity, holding a knife, and fought his way from a small soldier to a first-class general.

There were only three first-rank generals in the entire Dayu Dynasty.

They are Zhenguo Hou, Dingjun Hou, and...
The Marquis Ye Jiuxing!
Among them, Marquis Dingjun is a powerful member of the royal family. He is currently in seclusion, trying to attain the holy realm. He should not be disturbed unless it is absolutely necessary.

In fact, the Marquis of Zhenguo had retired from the army fifty years ago and lived in a manor on the outskirts of the city, away from the disputes in the court.

As for why he retired!

Zhao Wan'er knew that the Marquis of Zhenguo had made outstanding contributions. In his heyday, he controlled one-third of the army of Dayu and enjoyed absolute prestige in the army.

If the Marquis of Zhenguo does not retire, he will end up like Ye Jiuxing.

Great power!

How many people can have a good ending?
And this is exactly what Zhao Wan'er is worried about. Although the Marquis of Zhenguo has retired, his former comrades-in-arms now hold high positions. Once the Marquis of Zhenguo comes to power, will they be the next Ye Jiuxing?

We have to guard against it!
Wang Ya continued: "Ling Yunhong was defeated, which shows that the second-grade general is no match for Ye Jiuxing. Only by using the first-grade general can we win against Ye Jiuxing!"

Zhao Wan'er's face changed slightly. Although she was reluctant in her heart, she had to admit the fact that there were very few generals in the entire Dayu military who could defeat Ye Jiuxing.

Ling Yunhong is considered excellent, but what is the result?

A complete failure!
The other second-rank generals are not as good as Ling Yunhong!

"can!"

Zhao Wan'er thought for a long time, and finally made up her mind. She stood up and ordered, "Go to the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion and ask the old general to come out of retirement!"

She didn't dare to act like a king to the retired Marquis of Zhenguo.

I can only go and ask him to come out in person.

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

Wang Ya breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

The group left the palace, accompanied by eunuchs, palace maids, guards on both sides, and secret spies, totaling more than 10,000 people, and several yin and yang forces, looming in the distance.

Leave the palace and walk through the bustling imperial city.

Half an hour later, they arrived at a secluded suburb with a beautiful environment, mountains and water. Between the mountains and water stood a manor with green tiles, white walls and a closed door.

Zhao Wan'er stepped down from the dragon chariot and looked at Wang Ya.

Wang Ya immediately walked up and knocked on the door. After waiting for a while, a servant opened the door and asked, "Who are you?"

Wang Ya smiled and said, "Go tell the Marquis of Zhenguo that the emperor is here!"

The servant was startled and immediately closed the door to report.

Looking at the tightly closed door, Wang Ya frowned, feeling a little unhappy. But he didn't show it as he thought about asking for help.

This servant in the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion is so rude.

And the Marquis of Zhenguo, does he really not know that His Majesty is coming?
The perception of the Yin-Yang realm shouldn’t be that bad!
Discontinued?
Or do you really not know?

Wang Ya thought about it and walked silently behind the empress.

Zhao Wan'er didn't have these thoughts. She looked at the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion with some anticipation. When she was born, the Marquis Zhenguo had already stepped down, but she often heard about his legendary experiences.

What kind of person is the Marquis of Zhenguo?
Waited for a while.

The door opens.

An energetic old man, accompanied by his family, hurried out, knelt on both knees and said, "I, your humble servant Chu Zhuang, pay my respects to Your Majesty! Please forgive me for not being able to come and greet you from afar!"

Zhao Wan'er said nothing and looked at the Marquis of Zhenguo.

not tall.

He has an ordinary appearance, with wrinkles and age spots on his face. Apart from his spirit, he is no different from an ordinary old man.

He was dressed in a grey robe and was surrounded by an air of twilight, without any trace of the majesty and dominance of a first-rank general.

Compared with Ye Jiuxing, the difference is even greater.
