You were asked to impersonate the King of Qin, not to become emperor!

That night.

News of Chen Heng's house arrest immediately reached the Prince of Yan's residence.

"I never expected even the Prince of Jin to fall. This imposter really has some tricks up his sleeve!" Chen Yong's face darkened, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

The strategist standing beside him stroked his beard and said, "Prince Yan, this situation is extremely advantageous for you. Now that Prince Jin is under house arrest for life, the civil official group behind Prince Jin will naturally seek another wise ruler. This is a rare opportunity for you, Your Highness."

Chen Yong knew that these civil officials were of extraordinary integrity.

Since the King of Qin overthrew their master, given their integrity, they would most likely not remain loyal to the King of Qin.

This was indeed an opportunity for him.

Previously, he only led troops to guard the border and had always found it difficult to extend his influence into the capital. In addition, as a son of a concubine and a military general, the Jin Emperor was always very wary of him.

Having the loyalty of these civil officials is equivalent to having a presence in the capital.

As long as he continues to oppose the King of Qin until the Emperor of Jin dies, he can openly vie for the throne.

This was significantly different from the previous effect of assisting the Prince of Jin.

"Immediately prepare a banquet to entertain all the former officials of the Prince of Jin."

Chen Yongcheng was confident and had military power in his hands. He could now take over more than 70% of the Jin King's power. Dealing with the mere Qin King was no problem for him.

At the banquet, Zhang Xianzhao and the others raised their glasses.

"The Prince of Yan should carry on the legacy of the Prince of Jin, eliminate the traitor, and prevent the Chen dynasty's throne from falling into the hands of others!"

Chen Yong was overjoyed to see Zhang Xianzhao leading the way in supporting him.

Zhang Xianzhao was the head of the civil officials, and as long as he took the lead, the civil officials and gentry would all defect to his side.

Although the King of Qin had the power to oversee the country and commanded the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the number of Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was only ten thousand.

In contrast, the Prince of Yan controlled 300,000 troops in the north and enjoyed extremely high prestige within the army.

In comparison, the difference is obvious.

"The only wish of the King of Yan and the King of Jin is to uncover the identity of this beggar and find out the truth about his brutal murder of the King of Qin."

"Otherwise, this beggar will surely slaughter the Chen royal family, leaving countless heads rolling and rivers of blood flowing, and will ultimately seize the throne!"

Zhang Xianzhao's words instantly dispelled Chen Yong's previous contempt for Chen Xuan, and a look of seriousness appeared in his eyes. "We certainly cannot be careless in dealing with this traitor! By the way, Lord Zhang, do you have any brilliant ideas on how to eliminate this traitor?"

Zhang Xianzhao pondered for a moment and said, "This traitor currently enjoys the deep trust of His Majesty and the imperial family, so we cannot directly question his identity. Isn't he now in charge of overseeing the country? Fine, let's find problems for him in state affairs. As long as there are problems in state affairs, His Majesty will inevitably become displeased with him. Once His Majesty becomes displeased with him, we will have an opportunity to take advantage of him!"

"Haha, as expected of the head of the civil officials, Lord Zhang's insightful views are truly admirable!" Chen Yong praised.

"Prince Yan, I would like to introduce you to two people who are currently the most feared by that villain," Zhang Xianzhao continued.

Curiosity gleamed in Chen Yong's eyes as he asked, "Who are these two people that Lord Zhang values ​​so highly?"

"Liang Yongcheng, and his daughter Liang Yani," Zhang Xianzhao said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yong couldn't help but gasp. "I know Liang Yongcheng. He has been advocating for uncovering the thief's disguise, but His Majesty has not responded to any of his numerous memorials. As for this Liang Yani, she is extremely skilled at investigating cases and is a genius. She will play a crucial role in dealing with the thief in the future."

Now, the people under the command of the King of Yan no longer refer to Chen Xuan as the King of Qin, but rather as a traitor!

Everyone agreed that he was the beggar who murdered the King of Qin and usurped the throne.

Unfortunately, there was no evidence to expose his disguise.

"Besides these two, there is another opportunity to throw that traitor's government into chaos," Zhang Xianzhao continued.

Chen Yong was extremely curious about this and hurriedly urged, "Please enlighten me, Lord Zhang!"

"Recently, due to the natural disasters in the Great Jin Dynasty, transportation costs have increased, and the price of official salt has changed daily. If it weren't for the intervention of the aristocratic families to release salt, it would likely have caused great chaos. Now, most of the top aristocratic families in the Great Jin Dynasty are on our side. My idea is to manipulate the salt supply to throw them into chaos."

Chen Yong, as a vassal king who led troops into battle, even recognized the importance of salt.

If salt is scarce, soldiers will lack strength and are more likely to rebel. In civilian life, this situation would only be more severe.

Thinking of this, Chen Yong's eyes lit up with wild joy, and he roared to the sky, "Haha, this is truly heaven's help! I'll just listen to Lord Zhang and manipulate the salt. I'll even trouble you to order all the major clans to prohibit the release of salt into the market, no matter how high the price is. But be careful not to do it too much, lest it shake the foundation of the nation!"

Zhang Xianzhao quickly replied, "Your Highness, please rest assured. I know what I'm doing. This time, I guarantee that the traitor will lose his power as regent."

"Very well, I can't wait to skin him alive and devour his flesh!"

Two princes were killed by a beggar, and even the original crown prince was placed under house arrest for life.

In the eyes of the Prince of Yan, this was an absolute disgrace to the royal family!

Knowing he was a thief, but having no other choice, they could only suppress their anger and plot against him slowly.

……

Qin Wangfu.

Late at night, beautiful women abound.

Wang Qingyi and Zhen Mi sat in the main seats.

The rest are Meng Tingting, Zhao Yinyin, Han Duoer, Huo Yinjuan, and Huo Meijuan.

They are all top-tier beauties.

As for Li Tong and Wu Qianmeng, although they were not his women in name, he had already taken advantage of both of them.

"Yinyin, give us a sexy dance to liven things up!"

Now that Chen Xuan has been completely defeated by him, Chen Xuan is overjoyed and immediately hosts a family banquet.

Moreover, these women each possess unique talents and strategic abilities!

There was Han Duo'er, and now there's Huo Yinjuan too.

They are all top-notch female strategists.

Chen Xuan had one arm around Wang Qingyi, and even slipped one hand inside her clothes.

Seeing this, Wang Qingyi blushed to the roots of her ears and quickly said, "Please, my husband, have some self-respect."

Chen Xuan smiled faintly and said, "They're all family, Your Highness, there's no need to take it to heart. Which one of these haven't I slept with?"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the women were slightly taken aback.

Unexpectedly, everyone present had been touched by the King of Qin.

The thought of the King of Qin's formidable strength would keep him engaged for at least several hours at a time, often working through the night.

If she hadn't slept with Chen Xuan, she would definitely be jealous seeing so many women!

But they've all been through this before, and they all know that it's better to have someone else share the burden.

Even with so many sisters, they still felt that Chen Xuanqiang was terrifying.

But deep down, I still look forward to doing it with Chen Xuan.

After all, only he could give them this unprecedented feeling.

"Your Highness, the Great Jin Dynasty is currently experiencing a salt shortage, causing widespread discontent among the people. Signs of uprisings have already emerged in various regions, which may be due to the machinations of the gentry led by Zhang Xianzhao. May I ask if Your Highness has any effective solutions?"

After being nourished by Chen Xuan, Han Duo'er was always thinking about Chen Xuan's future.

He believed that Chen Xuan had become somewhat complacent after defeating the Prince of Jin.
