Chapter 48 Seizing Power
"Why, General Gu doesn't agree!"
Lu Fan was still smiling, but his tone was a little heavier.
Gu Tiefeng also returned to his normal expression at this moment, and said calmly: "Your Highness is joking, the arrangement and movement of the captain of the legion and above requires His Majesty's decree. Gu is only a left general, how can he have such power?" …”
"General Gu means that with His Majesty's will, someone can temporarily take over the position of General Right, is that true?"
Lu Fan smiled and pressed forward step by step, making everyone in the hall realize that something was wrong.
This is to seize power!
Jiang Shang and Li Si looked at each other calmly, with a trace of doubt flashing in their eyes.
Lu Fanke never told them about this matter.
Sun Wenquan and many of the ten thousand captains also looked incomprehensible at this moment, and they all looked at Gu Tiefeng, who was first on the left.
Lu Wushuang was even more shocked.
"He...he must be too courageous. He blatantly seizes power. Is there anything he can't rely on?"
Compared with other people in the hall, Gu Tiefeng felt the most complicated at the moment.
Lu Fan's move caught him off guard.
After meeting Lu Fan twice, he had already guessed that Lu Fan might have some plot against the Zhenbei Army.
But he didn't expect Lu Fan to move so fast.
Hanyang City didn't even understand it, so they directly started the idea of Zhenbei Army.
How can a normal person behave like this?
But at this moment, he was put on fire by Lu Fan's words, and he felt like he was riding a tiger.
Under Lu Fan's smiling gaze, Gu Tiefeng said without changing his expression: "With His Majesty's will, there is no problem."
"Hahaha... Okay, if that's the case, it'll be easy to handle, Zhang Qi!"
"My subordinate is here!"
"Bring out the secret decree entrusted to you by His Majesty."
Hearing this, Zhang Qi couldn't help but be stunned. How did His Highness know that His Majesty had given a secret order?
Although he was confused, he did not move slowly and took out a golden edict from the storage ring and held it in both hands.
"Prince Fan accepts the order!"
Wow…
As Zhang Qi took out the imperial edict, everyone in the hall knelt on one knee to receive it, including Gu Tiefeng, the left general of the Zhenbei Army.
The imperial edict represents the Emperor Qian, and the people of Daqian see the imperial edict as if they see the Emperor Qian.
Ordinary people, monks, dignitaries and courtiers are required to kneel on both knees, while military members only need to kneel on one knee, which is considered a gift to the military.
As the prince, Lu Fan did not need to kneel down. He just stood up and took the imperial edict held by Zhang Qi with both hands.
Looking at the golden edict in his hand, Lu Fan thought to himself, "What the hell is my father doing?"
The reason why he knew that Zhang Qi had a secret order was naturally because of the imperial eunuch who brought Zhang Qi and others to see him in Pingchuan City.
In addition to bringing him the imperial edict, the old eunuch also had an oral message to benefit his father.
The content of the oral edict is this secret decree.
And this secret edict is a Shangfang sword given to him by his father, so that he can use it to give orders.
But it's a pity that this secret decree can only be used once.
These thoughts flashed through his mind quickly. Lu Fan took a deep breath, looked at everyone kneeling on the ground and said:
"I'm free of charge!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
After everyone stood up, Lu Fan held the golden edict in one hand and looked at Gu Tiefeng, who had a slightly ugly face.
"General Gu, your Majesty's will is here. Do you want to take a look?"
Compared to Gu Tiefeng, who had an ugly face, Lu Fan was smiling broadly.
Although there is only one chance for this secret decree, this one chance is enough for him.
Naturally, he was unwilling to let a peerless general like Li Cunxiao serve as a pawn in the Zhenbei Army.
Although becoming a right general cannot control the Zhenbei Army in a short period of time, he can still be regarded as the second-in-command of the Zhenbei Army.
Facing Lu Fan who was seizing power with a smile, Gu Tiefeng couldn't help but feel angry in his heart.
While he was extremely angry, he also felt deeply helpless in his heart.
"It seems that I have underestimated the Crown Prince... I am in some trouble now."
Just as Gu Tiefeng was thinking hard about his response strategy, a captain of ten thousand men at the bottom on the right suddenly stood up and said:
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince behaves like this, and he will never accept it!"
As this man spoke, two more captains stood up one after another.
"That's right, General Zhang was just in seclusion, not killed in battle. To take his place now would not be to take advantage of others' danger."
"Your Highness, the Zhenbei Army is the elite of the army. If you want to become a right general, you must have outstanding military exploits and strength."
After the two captains of ten thousand spoke, four more captains of ten thousand stood up.
Although these four captains did not speak, their actions and expressions already showed their attitudes.
When Gu Tiefeng saw this scene, his expression suddenly became much more relaxed, and his brows also expanded.
Glancing at these confidants inadvertently, he pretended to be angry and shouted in a low voice:
"Whatever you want to do, just sit down for me. If you dare to do anything again..."
Before Gu Tiefeng could finish speaking, Lu Fan interrupted with a smile:
"What you are saying is that as long as the person who temporarily takes the position of right general is stronger than you, it will be fine. Isn't that true?"
As soon as these words came out, Gu Tiefeng's face suddenly changed slightly, and his eyes subconsciously looked at Li Cunxiao, who was standing to the left of Lu Fan.
not good!
Gu Tiefeng secretly thought in his heart, and Gu Tiefeng was about to stop him immediately.
However, before he could speak, the captain who stood up first said loudly:
"That's right. If you want to become the right general of the Zhenbei Army, you must be stronger than us, the captains of ten thousand men. Otherwise, not only will we not accept it, but the brothers below will not accept it either."
The other captains who stood up also agreed.
"If the right general of the Zhenbei Army does not have enough strength, it is indeed unconvincing."
"If you want to become the right general, you must accept the challenge of us, the captains of ten thousand men, and win all of them."
While speaking, these captains of ten thousand men snorted in their hearts.
They are all Gu Tiefeng's iron confidants. Now that Lu Fan wants to seize power, how can they agree?
Although Lu Fan is the prince, they don't take him seriously.
Not to mention that Lu Fan can't practice, even if Lu Fan can practice, they don't care.
Looking at the smug sneer in the eyes of these guys that can't be hidden, Lu Fan almost couldn't help laughing.
It's really a god's help.
Just now, he was thinking about how to take the initiative to propose a challenge, so that Li Cunxiao can show up in the Zhenbei Army and get some attention.
After all, military men admire the strong, and the weak cannot be respected in the military camp.
The fastest way to establish authority is to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
Thinking of this, Lu Fan looked at Gu Tiefeng with a smile on his face, and said with a smile:
"General Gu, since the captains said so, let my people try it.
If he loses, the matter of temporarily taking over the position of right general will be revealed. If he wins, the position of right general will be his. How about it!"
Lu Fan was in a good mood, but Gu Tiefeng was so angry that his lungs were about to explode...
