When Chu Xuanchen heard this, his heart tightened, and he knew something was wrong.
This South Vietnam region, located in the south of Lingnan, has been known as a barbaric and barren land since ancient times.
This place was backward and barren. It was used as a place to exile prisoners. Unexpectedly, the emperor wanted to transfer him there.
Your Majesty, this is not a reward at all.
On the surface, this was to reward him with a fiefdom, but in fact, he was just trying to transfer him away from the capital and reduce his military power.
As for why Emperor Hongyuan did this, he must have seen that he had a good relationship with Xueyue Kingdom, and was afraid that he would join forces with the Queen to grow in power and threaten his imperial power.
And now that King Xian has become the crown prince, Emperor Hongyuan must clear all obstacles for King Xian, so he will treat him like this.
He immediately said: "Your Majesty, I am really not familiar with the South Vietnam area. Besides, I still have to manage military affairs. I'm afraid..."
Emperor Hongyuan interrupted him coldly, "Xuanchen, you are extremely intelligent, brave, strategic, and capable of governing.
South Vietnam needs talents like you to develop and govern it.
As for the affairs in the army, I will appoint generals to manage them, so you don’t have to worry about it!"
Emperor Hongyuan said, narrowing his eyes coldly, as if he had made up his mind.
The wise king has become the prince, and Chu Xuanchen now has Xueyue Kingdom as his helper. He is the most powerful competitor of the wise king and a stumbling block for the wise king to move forward.
Therefore, of course he must take this opportunity to clear this obstacle for the wise king.
However, even though he was cleared, he would not kill Chu Xuanchen for the time being. Chu Xuanchen had military talents, so he wanted to keep him in case he was used in the future.
However, the current Chu State cannot use Chu Xuanchen for the time being.
Because he has a wise king, and the wise king has the help of the Nalan family.
He naturally knew Nalan Jun's ambition, but Nalan Jun wanted to take advantage of the Xian King, and he also wanted to take advantage of Nalan Jun.
The Nalan family relies on the entire Donglin Kingdom. Now that the Chu State has formed an alliance with the Donglin Kingdom, with such a powerful ally as the Donglin Kingdom, he has no worries about invasion.
If an enemy country invades, there will be a wise king and the Nalan family who can take over.
After he uses the Nalan family to train the wise king so that the wise king can take charge of his own role, Chu Xuanchen and Nalan Jun can disappear!
Now, he has no need for Chu Xuanchen for the time being, so he wants to restrict Chu Xuanchen's military power.
Seeing that Emperor Hongyuan was very confident in what he said, Chu Xuanchen knew that he was determined to transfer him away.
It was useless for him to say anything now, so he had no choice but to say: "If the emperor has made up his mind, then I have no choice but... to accept the order."
Seeing that Chu Xuanchen was willing to agree, Emperor Hongyuan sneered and nodded.
The fiefdom in South Vietnam seems very large, but it is all barren land. No matter how much you have, it will be of little use.
Moreover, rogue bandits were raging there, it was very chaotic, and there were many southern barbarian tribes that were extremely difficult to manage.
Such a fiefdom was simply a burden to Chu Xuanchen, so he didn't mind giving it to him.
He wished that Chu Xuanchen would be trapped there forever and never return to the capital to fight for the throne with the wise king.
When King Yan heard this, he immediately walked up to Chu Xuanchen and said hypocritically: "Oh, King Li, congratulations to you! You actually got such a big fiefdom, and now you have seven counties under your control. You are so envious of us.
Got it!"
"Yes, Prince Li, congratulations."
Other ministers also came up and congratulated Chu Xuanchen hypocritically.
Everyone congratulated on the surface, but in fact everyone knew that the emperor was giving Chu Xuanchen a fiefdom, but in fact he was transferring him away.
Now Chu Xuanchen has lost his military power and is simply a general in name only.
Yun Qing stood aside, his fox-like eyes full of pride.
Very good!
Now that Chu Xuanchen has been transferred to that wild land, they may never be able to meet again in this life.
In this case, Chu Xuanchen would not be able to seek revenge from him, and he could sit back and relax for the time being!
Su Ming stood aside silently, with no expression on his face, and no one could see through his thoughts.
Dong Changfeng, Li Jin and others all looked at Chu Xuanchen worriedly. The place in South Vietnam was so miserable, could their family endure it?
"Brother Royal."
At this time, the wise king walked towards Chu Xuanchen and looked at him helplessly, his eyes full of sympathy and sadness.
He didn't want Chu Xuanchen's family to be transferred to South Vietnam and suffer, but there was nothing he could do.
Seeing the concerned look in Xian Wang's eyes, Chu Xuanchen patted him on the shoulder and said with a faint smile: "Third brother, after we leave, the responsibility of protecting the country will be left to you!"
"I know, don't worry, I will definitely protect our country."
The wise king promised.
At this time, Emperor Hongyuan cleared his throat and said: "Okay, Prince Li, the imperial edict granting a fiefdom will be sent to Prince Li's Mansion soon.
You go back and make preparations first, and then set off in ten days."
Ten days, so fast?
It seems that Emperor Hongyuan was too afraid of him and did not want him to stay in the capital for a moment.
After Chu Xuanchen was frightened, he said: "Your Majesty, I accept your order."
In this way, Chu Xuanchen was forced to agree to Emperor Hongyuan's order.
This matter was so big that after the court, many officials began to discuss it.
Many knowledgeable people gathered around Chu Xuanchen to comfort him and care about him.
Some people even secretly satirized Emperor Hongyuan and complained for Chu Xuanchen.
Seeing everyone's worried looks, Chu Xuanchen was very relieved. He didn't expect that so many people would care about him at this time.
In this way, he has no regrets.

After attending court, Chu Xuanchen took Xue Wuxia back to Prince Li's Mansion.
When they returned to Prince Li's Mansion, they saw Yun Ruoyue and Wei'er inspecting the medicinal materials in the yard.
Seeing Yun Ruoyue's busy look, Chu Xuanchen felt sad.
Yue'er has only been married to him for a few years and has not yet lived a stable life. Now she is going to South Vietnam with him. He is really afraid that she won't be able to bear it!
Xue Wuxia stood aside and looked at Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue sadly.
The couple had sacrificed so much for the Chu State, but they never expected to end up like this.
This dog emperor is really stupid.
"Hey, Wu Xia, brother-in-law, are you back?"
At this time, Weier had already seen the two of them.
Yun Ruoyue heard the sound and turned around quickly.
As soon as she turned around, she saw Chu Xuanchen.
She walked over anxiously: "Xuanchen, you are back. What did the emperor say? Did he blame you?"
After living with Chu Xuanchen for a long time, Yun Ruoyue could tell that something was wrong with him just by looking at his expression.
Chu Xuanchen took a deep breath and said: "The emperor gave me a fiefdom in South Vietnam. He wants us to set off in ten days and move the whole family to South Vietnam. Without his special call, we will never be able to return to Beijing."
"What?
The emperor actually asked us to move to South Vietnam?
