On the way, Shangguan Lin sat in the carriage and opened the system in his mind.
" System, receive the mission reward."
Ding!" Detected that the host has found out the truth of Rui Wang's rebellion. The reward is being distributed.”
"Congratulations to user for obtaining War God Han Xin, General Wang Jian, Meng Tian, and Meng Yi.”
"The backgrounds of Han Xin, Wang Jian, Meng Tian, and Meng Yi have been planted.”
"Han Xin will be the general of the city protection army, and he will be the general of the Dingguo Army (second rank). Wang Jian will be the commander of the Tiger Might Camp, and he will be the first rank pillar of the country (first rank).”
"Meng Tian will be the Tiger Mighty Camp Left Lieutenant General (Grade 2), Meng Yi will be the Tiger Mighty Camp Right Lieutenant General (Grade 2).”
In the Imperial City, there were 50,000 imperial guards in charge of patrolling the palace and protecting the Emperor. They were currently led by Zhang Han.
There were 50,000 city guards outside the palace, responsible for protecting the people of the Imperial City and maintaining law and order. In addition, they sometimes cooperated with the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court to capture thieves who infiltrated the Imperial City. They were currently led by General Fengguo, Xu Yun.
Shangguan Lin had only seen Xu Yun a few times, and now he could no longer remember what he looked like.
However, Xu Yun was also on the list of officials who colluded with Rui Wang.
According to Chi Lian's investigation, Xu Yun did not know about Rui Wang's rebellion. He only received a portion of the benefits from the military pay and armaments.
Xu Yun was someone he had to eliminate, and Han Xin, who was rewarded by the system, was the best candidate to take over the city protection army.
Other than the Imperial Army and the city guards, there was also the Tiger Might Camp stationed outside the Imperial City. The army had a total of 150,000 people and was led by the first-grade pillar king, King Jian.
There were a total of 250,000 people. This was the entire force that guarded the Imperial City.
It was no wonder that Rui Wang did not dare to act rashly even after six years of planning. The Imperial City had such a military force. Without 200,000 troops, they would not dare to make a move.
......
After returning to the royal study, Shangguan Lin sent Wang Wen to call Cao Zhengchun and Zhang Han.
"Your humble subject Zhang Han and your humble servant Cao Zhengchun greet Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!”
"Get up."
Shangguan Lin waved his hand, and two lists fell into their hands.
"The two of you, lead your men to arrest the people on the list overnight. You must arrest everyone before dawn.”
"In addition, Zhang Han, after you take down the city guard general Xu Yun, bring my secret decree to Han Xin's residence and order him to take over the city guard army.”
"Tell Han Xin that from tonight onwards, the nine gates of the Imperial City are sealed. Other than me and those who carry my edict, no one is allowed to enter or leave!”
"Yes!"
Zhang Han and Cao Zhengchun respectfully accepted the order and left the royal study.
After everything was arranged, Shangguan Lin let out a deep breath. He could finally relax a little.
If everything went smoothly, after Zhang Han took down Xu Yun, Han Xin would be able to take over the city protection army.
In this way, the 250,000 soldiers guarding the Imperial City were all under Shangguan Lin's control!
With military power in hand, the emperor could be considered a true emperor.
Otherwise, the emperor would only be an empty title, a puppet.
"Ding, the host has triggered a mission. The imperial power is supreme, and the emperor is heartless.”
"The host already knows that Rui Wang is plotting a rebellion. Although he is the host's imperial uncle, he cannot be pardoned. Please kill Rui Wang and quell the rebellion.”
"Mission Reward: Blood Red Marquis Bai Yifei (Advanced Grandmaster), 100,000 White Armor Soldiers.”
Looking at the reward, Shangguan Lin did not know what to say.
The Blood-robed Marquis, Bai Yifei, was already considered a decent reward, but the 100,000 White Armored Soldiers were even more terrifying.
The White Armored Army was the strongest army in the Han Country in the Qin Dynasty. They were famous for their bravery and good combat skills.
As expected, the harder the mission, the greater the reward.
This time, there were at least 200,000 rebels in Rui Wang's rebellion. It would not be easy to complete this mission.
Therefore, the system was very generous this time and rewarded Shangguan Lin with an army.
With the White Armored Army, the Tianqi Kingdom's military strength would increase by a large margin.
............
The next day, in the throne room of the Imperial Palace.
The civil and military officials looked around and found that there were more than ten officials missing from the ranks.
Especially the positions of the six ministers, the Minister of War Cai Song and the Minister of Revenue Yang Shaowen were both absent.
Moreover, the commander of the city guards, Xu Yun, was not among the generals.
If they were sick, it was impossible for so many ministers to be sick at the same time, so there must be a reason why they did not come.
Sensing this, many officials began to feel uneasy and cold.
A few days ago, the Emperor had removed twenty-six officials from the court in one go. The operation to investigate corruption had not ended yet.
In the past few days, there were still many lower-level officials who were found out and sentenced to death.
The past was still vivid in his mind. Could it be that the Emperor had raised his butcher knife again?
All the officials were muttering in their hearts. Was the Emperor really not afraid of causing a commotion in the court and instability in the world by wantonly washing the court with blood?
The Tianqi Kingdom had been established for more than two hundred years, and they had never seen such a ruthless emperor like the new emperor!
Just as the ministers were lost in their thoughts, Shangguan Lin spoke.
"My dear ministers must be very confused now, wondering why so many officials did not come to court today.”
"I don't want to be long-winded, so I'll tell you directly.”
"Zhen received a secret report saying that Rui Wang was plotting a rebellion. The dozen or so ministers who did not come today were Rui Wang's accomplices in the court. Zhen had already sent people to arrest them all last night.”
