Logging into the Game World Early and Starting with a Royal Marriage to the Empress

Afternoon!

Xia Chen stayed in the barracks and didn’t go out to lead a street patrol as usual.

The news coming in from all directions signalled that the promotion decree would be coming soon.

He held a book of war in his hand and studied it carefully.

This Military Strategy was written by a famous Military Strategy expert in this world.

Basically, everyone who learnt Military Strategy had read this book, Xia Chen was not studying it for the first time, and even he had to admit that some of the ideas in this Military Strategy were still something.

My lord!

At that very moment, a call came from outside the door.

‘Enter!’

Xia Chen did not raise his head, his eyes still on the book of war.

Li Xi walked in, his eyes falling on Xia Chen sitting in front of the desk.

He couldn’t help but be a little lost in thought.

What a graceful Young Master, with a look that was unrivalled in the world!

At this moment, Xia Chen, who was holding a volume of military books in his hands, had taken off his armour and was wearing simple civilian clothes, his long black hair on top of his head simply rolled up with a hairpin, natural and relaxed, his temperament like that of a heavenly immortal.

What is it?’

Xia Chen asked calmly, his face rippling without shock.

”Lord Leader, the gentlemen of the court have asked you to go over, it should be a happy event!’

Li Xi lowered his head, not daring to look any further, he felt that the Commander in front of him, his temperament floated like an immortal, as if he was able to soar away at any time, not belonging to the human world.

‘Got it, retreat!’

Xia Chen waved his hand, still without much emotional fluctuation.

The closer he got to this critical point, the calmer his mind was and the fewer distractions he had.

After Li Xi left the military tent, Xia Chen stood up and tidied up his instruments, clothes and so on.

Then he walked slowly towards Li Wenzhong’s tent.

Xia Chen walked into Li Wenzhong’s military tent and saw Li Wenzhong sitting in front of his desk, coincidentally, he was also holding a volume of military books in his hands, reading the same book as Xia Chen, called ‘Nine Yang Military Strategy’!

The Military Strategy has a saying: ‘A general should clarify his mind in order to set up a strategy, and purify his qi in order to rectify his army’.

Before Xia Chen could open his mouth, Li Wenzhong took the lead and asked.

As a general, you must make your heart clear and calm to formulate strategies, and purify your morale to lead the army.

Without the slightest thought, Xia Chen replied immediately.

This was the first opening sentence of the Nine Yang Military Strategy.

For a general, no matter what happens, whether great joy or great sorrow, one must remain absolutely reasonable and not have too many emotional fluctuations, this point you are very qualitative, worthy of the children of the Xia family who have been famous generals throughout the ages!

Li Wenzhong put down the Nine Yang Military Strategy in his hand, a smile appeared on his face, praising it.

These days, no matter how much the capital was in turmoil, Xia Chen had never come to him to ask how things were going, let alone ask what kind of reward he would get, this kind of mentality was not like a 17 year old teenager, but like an old man who had been in politics for a long time.

I believe in Your Majesty, since I’ve already handed things over to Your Majesty, I’ll just wait quietly for the results!

Xia Chen smiled modestly, revealing calm and confidence.

It has been said that when no one is around, just call Uncle Shi privately!

Li Wenzhong waved his hand and allowed Xia Chen to sit down.

‘Curious about your reward?

‘In the morning, Commandant Qin told me that it’s likely to be a promotion to take his place as Captain, and that he’ll be following His Excellency to the Dragon Martial Guard.

Xia Chen said calmly.

Originally, the people above were so rewarded for their achievements, but now the situation has changed!

Xia Chen frowned, something unexpected had happened?

As he pondered, Li Wenzhong’s words continued to ring out.

‘Qin Mu and I have both been confirmed and transferred to the Dragon Martial Guard side, mainly you!

‘Me?’

Xia Chen looked at Li Wenzhong, slightly surprised, he originally thought that it was Li Wenzhong who had a problem with the matter of being the Senior General of the Dragon Martial Guard, but as a result, he did not expect it to be himself.

‘It is true that you were originally promoted to Commandant, but …… His Majesty intervened!’

Li Wenzhong looked deeply at Xia Chen.

‘His Majesty?’

There was a light flowing in Xia Chen’s eyes, he did not expect that His Majesty would personally intervene in the matter of his transfer to Commandant .

‘You don’t need to worry too much, His Majesty didn’t say that he wouldn’t allow you to serve as Commandant, he just said that there is no rush for you to be promoted, young people need to sharpen their skills more!

Li Wenzhong took a sip of tea and said with a smile, finally seeing the young man in front of him with emotional fluctuations on his face, finally not as wavy and unflappable as before, looking older and more stable than him.

This is a good thing, the imperial court has countless officials, but those who can enter into His Majesty’s vision are very few.

Li Wenzhong patted Xia Chen on the shoulder.

‘Pack your things and follow me to the palace later!

‘The palace?’

‘His Majesty wants to see you personally!’

Li Wenzhong said with a serious expression.

Over the years, His Majesty had long since stopped visiting the court, and many officials could only see the Emperor once a year during the annual pilgrimage.

There were many things that His Majesty asked the senior officials to carry out directly from the Cabinet after discussion.

But this time, His Majesty personally summoned Xia Chen, is this a message to the outside world or another reuse?

Li Wenzhong could not fathom the sacred intention for a moment.

I know!

Xia Chen took a deep breath and calmed himself down again, just go into the palace, he had great merits and was an Imperial Son-in-Law, it was impossible for that Emperor Wen to eat him alive.

……

Half an hour later!

Li Wenzhong and Xia Chen got into a carriage that was slowly moving towards the centre of the city.

His Majesty has been in power for more than 50 years, most of the time he has not been close to women, the first 20 years of his life was dedicated to Buddhism, the last 10 years of his life was dedicated to monasticism, until the ministers advised him that the dynasty should not be without an heir, so there is a crown prince, the emperor’s second daughter, the third prince, and so on. After having an heir, he no longer has a son, but he is still in a position of power.

After having an heir, His Majesty is no longer as cold and callous as before, but in the past ten years, His Majesty has become more and more inscrutable, and no one can guess His Majesty’s mind, so don’t have too many thoughts of your own when you meet the Holy Spirit, understand?

Inside the carriage, Li Wenzhong whispered a warning, explaining all the precautions to be taken when entering the palace.

Xia Chen nodded, having a slightly accurate picture of this Emperor Wen in his mind.

Success was also Xiao He, and failure was also Xiao He.

Over the past 50 years, Dawu had grown stronger in the hands of Emperor Wen and had won many foreign wars.

For example, the Battle of Huaiyang nearly wiped out Dafeng 36 years ago.

There was also a victory in the Battle of the Southern Frontier more than 20 years ago, which pushed the Dawu Dynasty’s borders south by several hundred miles.

Now, the war between the Eastern Wasteland and the demon race was coming to an end.

The Dawu Dynasty was now the most powerful in the world, and the other two countries, the Eastern Demon Race and the Southern Barbarians, were afraid of it.

However, the constant military affairs over the years have been a form of oppression for the people of Dawu, and the conflicts within the country have long been fierce.

Nowadays, although Dawu is the number one country in the world, it’s as if it’s already on the verge of collapse, and if there’s no female empress to come out of nowhere, I’m afraid that Dawu will completely collapse in the coup d’état in five years’ time and go from strength to strength!

In the carriage, Xia Chen constantly analysed the situation in relation to today’s situation and the future situation.

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of a high and lofty city wall.

Li Wenzhong and Xia Chen opened their eyes together, the palace had arrived!
