I Transmigrated as the Novel's Delusional Tyrant Villain

Zhao Xin found himself transmigrated into a novel, becoming the great villain, a delusional tyrant. This tyrant was obsessed with wine and women, lingering in the imperial harem and never attending...

Chapter 321: Testing

The position of Taiwei sounds very powerful, but in fact he has no military power at all. It is actually a civilian position and feels more like a staff officer.

Those who truly have military power are only the marshals and generals who guard the borders, as well as the expeditionary forces and expeditionary forces that go to other countries.

The Taiwei is actually the head who handles military affairs and administration. Tasks like transporting food and military pay to the border can be handled by the Taiwei.

However, the Taiwei generally cannot hold military power. Whenever the Taiwei has military power, it means that there is a problem with the government.

Therefore, the Nan family’s problem must have a result in the end.

Now go and see what Nan Cang thinks.

"Someone come here!" Zhao Xin shouted. He was now getting more and more accustomed to the identity of the emperor. It was so cool.

"Your Majesty." Three eunuchs came in from outside.

"Summon Yu Huatian for me." Yu Huatian had to follow him. To be honest, he was a little nervous going there alone.

If I die, the Nan family will dare to rebel. I'd better call Yu Huatian and then call Nan Cang over. I don't dare to go to the Nan family.

If they really killed themselves, they might really dare to rebel next, after all, given the military capabilities of Yu Qian, Zhuge Liang, Li Cunxiao and Wang Xuance.

The Nan family is not clear about this, and now the Nan family feels extremely confused about themselves.

They don't understand how strong they are to be able to perform like this.

They felt that they had gone too crazy. Of course, they didn't care whether they understood it or not. There were still 30,000 troops in the capital. The worst that could happen was that they would lead the Hanlin Academy to fight back against the Nan family.

If they dare to fight, we may win. Yu Qian and Zhuge Liang are both experts in fighting, and Wang Xuance and Li Cunxiao are also military experts.

The 30,000 Imperial Guards may not necessarily lose to the Nan family. The Nan family does not have any top-notch talents in fighting, and the people in the Hanlin Academy are enough to make them run around in circles.

Now I want to test Nan Cang's attitude. Of course, I am not testing whether he wants to rebel, because the possibility of rebellion is not very high.

The problem is that the Nan family now controls the military of the Qin Dynasty to this extent. How can this be possible?

The military power must be in my own hands. I want to know what Nan Cang's attitude will be when the time comes to solve the issue of military power.

What he wanted to test now was Nan Cang's attitude towards military power.

If one day he was asked to give up his military power, would he be willing to do so?

It didn't take long for Yu Huatian to arrive at the Qinzheng Hall, "Your Majesty."

"Come, come, come to my side." Zhao Xin said to Yu Huatian.

"Ask Nan Cang to see me." Zhao Xin said to the eunuch.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The eunuch hurried out again.

Although Nan Cang is still extremely powerful, he will still come if I ask him to. I don't dare to go to the Nan family. Although the possibility is very small, it will still be a big problem if the Nan family really kills me.

So I asked Nan Cang to come over, because I couldn’t go there myself.

It took a lot of effort to organize the government to its current state. It would have been interesting if it had been destroyed by the Nan family in the past.

More than 20 minutes later, Nan Cang entered the Qinzheng Palace, and Zhao Xin said, "My dear minister!"

"Come, have a cup of tea with me. I just got a batch of fine tea."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Nan Cang said with neither humility nor arrogance.

The two of them came to the tea table, and Zhao Xin said, "Actually, I called you here not just for tea, but for other things as well."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"I have some experience in handling political affairs."

"But I still know nothing about military matters, and I don't know much about the military situation in Daqin. I called you here today to inquire about the current military situation in Daqin."

Nan Cang replied, "Your Majesty, with this old minister here, Your Majesty does not need to worry about these matters."

After saying this, Zhao Xin fell silent.

I thought he would say something, but why did he become so crazy?

Yu Huatian was dumbfounded. What this meant was that he was not going to delegate power.

Nan Cang added, "After I retire, Your Majesty will find a new candidate to take my place."

"But I can still continue to serve Your Majesty. I am not yet old enough to retire."

Damn, Nan Cang really looks like an honest man, but there is no way he would just laugh it off with me on such a big issue.

He just doesn't intend to delegate power. It seems that there will be huge conflicts with the Nan family in the future. I wonder what Nan Luoying will do in this case.

Zhao Xin said, "Captain, how are the border defenses of Great Qin doing lately?"

Nan Cang replied, "Your Majesty, rest assured."

"The four border defense forces will recruit and train new soldiers on their own."

"It's basically a self-contained entity now, and we don't need to provide much money or food. Border security won't be a problem."

Zhao Xin said, "Okay, I understand."

"What if I want to replace the general guarding the border?" Zhao Xin looked at Nan Cang.

"Your Majesty, if you give an order, I will naturally obey." Nan Cang said calmly.

Zhao Xin couldn't understand Nan Cang's true intention, and it was impossible for him to really replace the border general. Now the internal troubles of Daqin have not been dealt with yet.

If there are problems at the border again, we will be in trouble again.

"Okay, I understand. Let's have some tea."

Zhao Xin was very unhappy with Nan Cang's answer. It was obvious that Nan Cang did not intend to give up his military power.

This really gave Zhao Xin a headache. This problem would have to have a result sooner or later. If he continued according to the current trend, his chances of winning would be greater. Zhao Xin was not worried about this.

After drinking tea and seeing Nan Cang off, Zhao Xin asked Yu Huatian, "Well, seeing how he looks, will he give up his military power?"

"Absolutely not."

"The Nan family may not have the ambition to replace His Majesty, but they are unlikely to give up military power. In the end, conflict is inevitable."

"We can only wait and see whether negotiations can be held when both sides have reached a certain level of fighting. Now, they will definitely not give up their military power."

Zhao Xin said, "I'm worried they won't give us room to grow. The entire court is thriving, and it won't be long before I establish a true empire of my own."

"Could it be that the Nan family will watch me grow stronger and then take away their military power?"

Yu Huatian said, "Yes, Your Majesty, that is indeed the case."

“Perhaps, before we can develop, we may have a conflict with the Nan family in the middle of the process.”

"There's a possibility of mutiny."

Zhao Xin said, "That's right. When it reaches a certain limit, they can no longer sit still."

"In the end, there has to be a showdown, and there has to be a result."

"Your Majesty has a greater chance of winning." Yu Huatian said.
