Chapter 402 The Chaotic Yuefeng Kingdom

It also reminded them once again that although the Great Chu State did not advocate war, it was also preparing its troops and horses and was ready to fight at any time.

Helian Hengxin was actually very anxious. Now that He Bakui was under house arrest, he was afraid that he and he had already become disloyal and would no longer fully support him like before.

The most important thing is that He Bakui actually has no military talent and cannot lead troops to fight.

Although Helian Renxin is now in charge of power at the border, Helian Hengxin is not willing to use him. If he is given more power at this time, he may become a greater threat to him in the future.

Secondly, although Helian Renxin had been the crown prince for many years, with the support of the empress and the father-in-law's family, he had developed a character that was not worthy of being reused.

If we talk about leading troops to fight a real battle, it won't work either.

When Helian Hengxin was getting extremely worried, Jin Jing, the son of the former general of the cavalry, came up and asked to see His Majesty.

Helian Hengxin's first thought was to avoid it. After all, this cavalry general died in his hands. What if Jin Jing had other intentions, wouldn't he be in danger?

But the old eunuch who was accompanying Helian Hengxin started to talk about a past event.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, Your Majesty would do well to see this golden scene."

Helian Hengxin looked up at Eunuch Zhao with a little surprise. This Eunuch Zhao had been by his side for many years and had always served him wholeheartedly and never participated in political affairs. Why was he speaking up for Jin Jing now?

Could it be possible that he has some relationship with this golden scene?

Helian Hengxin, who has always been suspicious, has begun to have wild and fanciful thoughts.

Knowing that His Majesty was always suspicious, Eunuch Zhao immediately knelt down and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I don't want to overstep my authority or participate in politics. I just feel sorry for you because you have been working so hard these days and have no one to help you."

Eunuch Zhao did not lie.

He had been serving Helian Hengxin since he was born. To be presumptuous, he might have already regarded Helian Hengxin as his own child in his heart.

Seeing him now isolated and helpless, being bullied by the generals of the Great Chu State, I feel really distressed.

Seeing him like this, Helian Hengxin hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up: "Eunuch Zhao."

Eunuch Zhao did not delay and continued, "Your Majesty, you may not know that although the former General of the Cavalry is Jin Jing's biological father, Jin Jing is also the legitimate son of the General's Mansion."

"But Jin Jing's father favors his concubine over his wife. He has never paid much attention to Jin Jing and his son. He even supports his concubine's son and suppresses Jin Jing for many years."

"Jin Jing was able to succeed only with the support of his maternal family, so..."

Having said this, Eunuch Zhao paused. He knew that with His Majesty's intelligence, he would be able to figure out what to do next.

Helian Hengxin let go of the hand that was supporting Eunuch Zhao, began to pace, and sat back on his dragon chair.

So to Yu Jinjing, he was his savior who saved him from the sea of ​​suffering.

It was because I killed his father that he and his mother were freed, and now I can become the head of the Jin family.

Helian Hengxin finally nodded and asked someone to summon Jin Jing into the hall.

As soon as Jin Jing entered the palace, he went straight to the point: "I heard that Your Majesty is going to go to war with the Great Chu State. I am willing to lead the troops there."

Because Jin Jing has no official position now, and since Helian Hengxin ascended the throne, he will not use the Jin family, so Jin Jing can only call himself a "commoner."

"It's true that my father was a cavalry general, but he studied and learned martial arts at my maternal grandfather's house since he was a child. I received the same education as him, so I am not inferior to him."

Seemingly worried that Helian Hengxin would not use him because of his father, Jin Jing tried his best to recommend himself.

Helian Hengxin was silent for a long time, and finally said: "In this case, tell me your solution."

On this day, Jin Jing stayed in Helian Hengxin's study for about two hours. Helian Hengxin even invited Jin Jing to have lunch.

After noon, an imperial edict arrived at the Jin family, appointing Jin Jing as the general of the national defense.

He will go to the main camp from now on to take over the command from Prince Injo and start to be in charge of all military affairs in the main camp, while Prince Injo will stay in the camp as deputy general.

Jin Jing and Helian Hengxin had naturally reached a consensus.

In the military camp, Jin Jing naturally did his best to help the emperor suppress His Royal Highness Prince Ren.

As soon as this news came out, it caused quite a stir in the officialdom of Yuefeng State.

After all, Jin Jing's father died at the hands of Helian Hengxin, so no one thought that Jin Jing would actually join Helian Hengxin's army.

Some even suspected that Jin Jing had joined the game to avenge his father.

But seeing how much importance His Majesty places on him, it doesn't seem to be the case.

At this time, He Bakui, who had been imprisoned in the Prime Minister's Mansion for many days, felt a sense of crisis for the first time.

He always thought that Helian Hengxin had no one to rely on now, and he was the one who supported him. Even if Helian Hengxin was angry with him or even hated him, it was just a temporary anger.

In the end, I will let myself go and reuse my own people.

However, he did not expect that what he was waiting for was not the news that Helian Hengxin was welcoming him out, but the good news that His Majesty had newly appointed him as the General of the National Defense.

His mind was in a mess.

So I have completely lost favor in front of His Majesty?

Is it possible that he will be trapped in this Prime Minister's Mansion for the rest of his life? Thinking of this, He Bakui wrote a letter in which he expressed his regret in detail and requested to see His Majesty.

Helian Hengxin looked at the letter sent from the Prime Minister's Mansion coldly without saying a word, but he did not open it and just threw it aside.

Let it cool down first.

Besides He Bakui, another person who was anxious was Helian Renxin, who was now stationed at the border of the Great Chu State with his troops.

He thought that Helian Hengxin was useless, so he held on to the military command tightly and refused to let go, nor did he want to return to the capital.

Even though the conditions in the camp were harsh, he had to persevere and absolutely could not give up the opportunity.

He has always believed that there are no military officers in the court who support Helian Hengxin, so Helian Hengxin can only rely on himself.

But no one expected that a general who protected the country would suddenly appear out of nowhere. Apart from anything else, Jin Jing's father was once a general of cavalry, so he was somewhat convincing.

If he comes, it would be unreasonable for me not to hand over the military command.

Thinking about this, Helian Renxin was not stupid enough to send any love letter to Helian Hengxin. After all, he had been fighting with Helian Hengxin for many years and knew that this man was the most cold-blooded and ruthless.

If I sent him a love letter, it would really be a joke to him.

On the contrary, Helian Renxin actually ordered someone to send a letter to the western camp of the Great Chu State.
