"It's okay. He won't use the token to mobilize troops."
Su Qiao is not worried about this.
"Your Highness..." Li Jue hesitated to speak.
Her idea was the same as Mu Rong's. Regardless of whether Ye Lihan was trustworthy or not, for the sake of Huang Ming and the prince, the token must be taken back.
Apart from the two of them, other ministers who understood what was said also had the same idea.
"Your Majesty, Prince Ye is a member of the Eastern Jin Dynasty royal family. We have to be on guard!"
Su Qiao was annoyed to death by them.
This is why she doesn't want to be emperor.
"Pass the order down, this king's token has been lost and is temporarily invalid."
"The Ministry of Rites will prepare all matters related to the enthronement. I will ascend the throne in three days."
Gu Quan, the Minister of Rites, stepped forward and saluted: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Su Qiao remembered that Minister Li had died, and said straightforwardly: "Minister Gu, you will take over the position of Minister of Rites."
Gu Quan had never expected that he would be the first to be promoted when the prince ascended the throne. He was a little excited and bowed deeply: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
Su Qiao waved his hand and slowly turned the jade ring on his hand.
After a while, she looked at another tall and strong general and said, "Grand Marshal, you will set off immediately and lead the troops to defend the border of Dongzhou."
She did this, firstly, to prevent the Crown Prince of Eastern Jin from invading the Huangming border after he came to power, and secondly, if something happened to Ye Lihan, such as being captured, she could lead her troops directly to attack and force Eastern Jin to hand over the person.
"Yes, I will obey your orders."
Grand Marshal Jiang He immediately stepped forward to receive the order.
She was equally excited.
After following the prince back to the imperial city, she has not been back to the border for ten years.
"Mu Rong, you must go to the northwest immediately and mobilize 300,000 troops to the border of Dongzhou to join the Grand Marshal."
If you really want to fight, then do it ruthlessly, lead your troops straight to Huanglong, attack the imperial capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and destroy the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
"yes."
Mu Rong took the order and quickly left the palace with the Grand Marshal, preparing to go to the Eastern Jin border and the Northwest border separately.
After they left, Su Qiao wrote a letter and handed it to Mu Jin: "Take your people to the Eastern Jin Dynasty and hand it to the Emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, announcing that I will ascend the throne and invite the crown prince of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to attend the coronation ceremony."
"Do you know how to do this?"
Mu Jin took it with both hands: "I understand."
Sending the letter was fake, chasing Prince Ye was real.
Inviting the Crown Prince of Eastern Jin was fake, but helping Prince Ye get rid of the Crown Prince of Eastern Jin was real.
Because at this time, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Jin Dynasty would definitely not leave the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
The prince was just looking for an excuse to send people to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
After dealing with the most pressing matter, Su Qiao stood up, looked at the ministers below, and announced loudly: "I will ascend the throne in three days, and in ten days, I will lead the army in person."
"Humph, I want to see how powerful Dong Jin is!"
The reason why it was ten days later was because she still had to make some preparations, to guard against Beiyao and Xiyu taking advantage of the situation, and also to prepare for war.
The ministers had not expected that the prince would lead the army in person as soon as he ascended the throne. They were so frightened that they immediately knelt down to persuade him.
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. You have just ascended the throne, how can you go to the battlefield in person?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, on the battlefield, swords and arrows are blind. What if... what should I do with Huang Ming?"
Su Qiao's face darkened.
What does 'just in case' mean
Will she fight a battle she is not sure of winning
"Shut up!"
"Just take care of yourselves. All you can do is to do your own job well. Don't let me deal with Dong Jin and then come back to deal with you."
"Grand Master Wen, Grand Master Si, while I am away on the expedition, you two will be the regents of the state."
The two old ministers, Grand Tutor Wen and Grand Tutor Si, were quite stable.
