Prince Yong'an Chen Bin does not object to Emperor Chen Xun seizing military power, but you can't just snatch it from your nephew alone!
If Emperor Chen Xun had not stepped in, Chen Bin would never have honestly handed over the military power of the other six towns of the Imperial Guard.
When Sun Hao led his army to Fengshou City, he learned that his father had become the commander of Hangu Pass.
What shocked Sun Hao even more was that Sun Zhegang, at Hangu Pass, actually escorted a large number of high-ranking military officers from Jingwu Town and Liewu Town back to the capital on the pretext of embezzling military funds.
Among them even included two governors, two deputy governors, eight generals and eight deputy generals of Jingwu Town and Liewu Town.
Afterwards, Sun Zhe quickly promoted some Lang Jiang to serve as the general and deputy general of Jingwu Town and Liewu Town. As for the post of governor of Jingwu Town and Liewu Town, Sun Zhe decided to hold the position concurrently.
Sun Zhe also appointed people based on personal connections, replacing all 32 generals and 32 deputy generals of Jingwu Town and Liewu Town with his own family soldiers.
This operation allowed Sun Zhe to quickly take control of the military power of Jingwu Town and Liewu Town.
"Bang——"
Emperor Chen Xun slammed the dragon table hard. "What does Sun Zhe want to do? Is he planning a rebellion too?"
In fact, Emperor Chen Xun had a very good impression of Sun Zhe. After all, the court only used an official document to make Sun Zhe give up the military power of the Huaide Army's hundreds of thousands of elite troops and come to the capital to serve as the Minister of War.
Over the years, Sun Zhe has been working diligently and conscientiously in his position as the Minister of War.
The late King Yong'an Chen Su once told Emperor Chen Xun that Sun Zhe was different from his son Sun Hao, and was loyal to the Liang court.
It was precisely because of this, and because Sun Zhe had many years of military experience, that Emperor Chen Xun went against the majority opinion and allowed Sun Zhe to guard the crucial Hangu Pass.
Emperor Chen Xun also persuaded the left prime minister Lu Zeng and the right prime minister Fan Ziyong to temporarily transfer the imperial guards of one town each to Sun Zhe's command.
The Left Prime Minister Lu Zeng smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Judging from the memorial submitted by Minister Sun, he does not intend to rebel.
However, I'm afraid Minister Sun will not easily hand over the military power of Jingwu Town and Liewu Town to the court."
Emperor Chen Xun gnashed his teeth and said, "I never thought Sun Zhe was such a wicked man. Immediately take all of Sun Zhe's family members into my custody."
Right Prime Minister Fan Ziyong sighed and said, "Your Majesty, when Minister Sun left the capital, he took his entire family to Hangu Pass, claiming that they would live and die together."
