In the imperial palace of Kang'an City, Emperor Chen Xuan of Yan summoned more than a dozen important officials with a worried look on his face.
"My dear ministers, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty has given the State of Yan two choices.
One is to directly merge into the Han Dynasty and become Yanzhou of the Han Dynasty. The other is that the Han Dynasty and our Yan State will sever their subordinate relationship. If the Donglu Tartars invade again in the future, the Han Dynasty will not send any reinforcements.
My dear ministers, what do you think our Yan State should do?
Emperor Chen Xuan's words immediately aroused the indignation of most of the important officials of Yan State. They all hoped that Emperor Chen Xuan would be tougher and no longer recognize Han State as their suzerain state.
Emperor Chen Xuan looked at Zuo Cheng Guan Hui, who had been silent the whole time, and asked, "Zuo Cheng, what is your opinion?"
Zuo Cheng Guanhui sighed and said, "Your Majesty, without the protection of the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that our Yan State will soon be destroyed by the Donglu Tartars.
I feel that although there are two choices, for our Yan State, there is actually only one choice."
Emperor Chen Xuan couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the cruel things the Donglu people had done to the royal families of other destroyed countries.
At this time, Yang Xie, the Minister of Personnel, said passionately: "Your Majesty, our Yan State has been established for 290 years. How can we become a state of Han just by the words of the Han Emperor?
Even if the Yan State is to perish, it must be destroyed standing up to show the backbone of the Yan State!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chen Xuan couldn't help but think: I don't want to be cut into pieces by the Donglu Tartars for the sake of my dignity. It seems that I have no choice but to surrender to the Han Dynasty.
In order to prevent any accidents, Sun Hao never entered Kang'an City and lived in the camp outside the city.
One day, Sun Hao was practicing spearmanship with Gao Chong when someone suddenly came to report that Princess Caiyun of Yan State, Chen Caiwen, was asking to see him outside the camp.
Sun Hao knew that Emperor Chen Xuan of Yan State intended to send Princess Caiyun Chen Caiwen into his harem.
I wonder why Princess Caiyun Chen Caiwen came to see me at this time?
I'm afraid it's about the annexation of Yan State into the Han Dynasty.
Sun Hao asked someone to invite Princess Caiyun Chen Caiwen to his tent. When Sun Hao saw Princess Caiyun Chen Caiwen, he couldn't help but look a little dazed.
Because Princess Caiyun Chen Caiwen looks very similar to Sun Hao’s wife Luo Xuan before he was sealed.
Through the "Intermediate Exploration Eye", Sun Hao discovered that Princess Caiyun Chen Caiwen's charm value also reached 97 points, the same as Luo Xuan.
"Wen'er greets Your Majesty. May Your Majesty be blessed with good health." Princess Caiyun Chen Caiwen said in a soft voice.
"You want to see me, what's the matter?" Sun Hao asked in a deep voice.
Princess Caiyun Chen Caiwen's tone suddenly became serious, "Your Majesty, my father is ready to agree to annex Yan State into the Han Dynasty.
However, some ministers are unwilling to accept this, and they are uniting to implement military remonstration."
Sun Hao was stunned when he heard this. "Military remonstration? Is this true?"
Princess Caiyun Chen Caiwen nodded, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely true. Wen'er has already obtained a list of some of the ministers who will participate in the military remonstration.
If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, arrest the people on the list first and you'll know the truth after a trial."
As she spoke, Princess Caiyun Chen Caiwen took out a piece of white cloth from her arms and handed it to Sun Hao.
Sun Hao took the white cloth that still carried the body temperature of Princess Caiyun Chen Caiwen and unfolded it to see that it was covered with names and official titles.
"Does your father know about this?" Sun Hao asked in a deep voice.
Princess Caiyun Chen Caiwen shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, I was afraid that the eunuchs in the palace would also participate in the military remonstration, so I didn't dare to make it public. My father is still in the dark."
Sun Hao immediately turned to Xiang Yu and ordered, "Call Fan Kuai and Xiong Kuohai over here immediately."
Fan Kuai was the commander-in-chief of the first regiment of the Imperial Guard, and Xiong Kuohai was the commander-in-chief of the second regiment of the Imperial Guard.
After summoning the two invincible generals, Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba, Sun Hao did not assign them military positions for the time being, but let them stay by his side as personal bodyguards.
On the afternoon of the day Princess Caiyun Chen Caiwen left the city, tens of thousands of Modao soldiers rushed into Kang'an City and began to arrest people according to the list on the white cloth.
At the Minister of War's residence in Kang'an City, Minister Liu Fan told several trusted generals, "The Han army has entered the city. We can't wait any longer. We must immediately launch a military remonstration and support Prince Qing to ascend the throne."
Prince Chen Wang of Qing was the younger brother of Emperor Chen Xuan and was well-known for his virtue in the State of Yan.
However, secretly, Prince Qing Chen Wang has been using various means to win over the civil and military officials of the Yan court, and has long had his eyes on the throne.
Among the conditions that Sun Hao offered to Emperor Chen Xuan of Yan, he could enfeoff Chen Xuan as the hereditary Marquis of Jichang of Han, but other powerful people in Yan did not receive such treatment.
Therefore, King Qing Chen Wang, who was unwilling to see his descendants become commoners, hastily planned this military remonstration.
However, in the list that Princess Caiyun Chen Caiwen handed to Sun Hao, there was no name of Prince Qing Chen Wang, nor was there the name of Assistant Minister of War Liu Fan.
This also led to the military remonstration being launched. The rebels led by Prince Qing Chen Wang, with the cooperation of some eunuchs, even broke into the imperial palace of Kang'an City.
Fortunately, Lu Wenlong, deputy commander-in-chief of the second regiment of the Han Imperial Guard, led three thousand Modao soldiers into the palace first and protected the Yan Emperor Chen Xuan.
Faced with 3,000 Modao soldiers whose combat power value all reached 85 points, the rebels who attacked the palace were quickly wiped out, and Prince Qing Chen Wang was captured alive.
"Prince Qing, tell me why you did this?" Emperor Chen Xuan asked angrily.
Prince Qing Chen Wang snorted coldly, "You don't even want your ancestors' legacy, and you won't allow others to protect it?"
