Chapter 5 Seizing Power
"Your Highness, the Prince requests your presence in the study."
Just as Su Ye was immersed in the system, the maid's gentle voice sounded outside the door.
"Um?"
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Hearing the guard's words, Su Ye was taken aback, but quickly came to his senses and responded gently to the door.
As soon as she stepped out of the courtyard, she saw a maid standing bowing outside the door, nodding to her. Su Ye led the way and walked ahead.
Having lived in his own royal residence since childhood, he had no need for maids to lead the way.
Passing through the wide, ancient corridor of the Prince's Mansion, upon entering the courtyard, a gray brick path leads directly to the main house. The main house has four dark red doors, the two middle doors slightly ajar. The diamond-patterned wooden windows of the side corridor are open, clean and bright. In front of the corridor are rattan chairs and rattan tables, and three feet away from the tables, flowers and plants are in full bloom.
Su Ye's father, the Lord of the Nine Heavens Army, Cloud King Su Kai, was sitting behind a rosewood desk, holding a book in one hand and tea in the other.
"You're here?"
"You've been gone for so long, it's time you settled down."
Upon seeing Su Ye enter, Su Kai put down his white porcelain teacup and smiled.
"That is precisely my intention; it is my duty and my mission!"
Su Ye pushed open the door and sat down opposite Su Kai, picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and began to speak.
As the eldest son of one of the three kings of different surnames in the Great Qian Dynasty, he is also the next King of Yun, the leader of the Nine Heavens Army, and the future patriarch of the Su clan of Yunzhou.
This honor is not just a glory and a right, but also a heavy responsibility!
This means that he also carries the hopes and expectations of millions of people in Yunzhou, as well as the life and death of 300,000 Jiuxiao soldiers on his shoulders.
Therefore, even without a system, given his identity, he is destined to embark on the path of vying for supremacy when the chaotic world sweeps across the land in the future.
This is also why the system detected that he possessed the destiny of an emperor.
"Do you have any plans?"
"Or should we follow my plan and join the Nine Heavens Army to begin preparations for taking over?"
Su Kai smiled with satisfaction and looked at Su Ye with relief, asking her a question.
Since the Crown Prince of Yun is preparing to enter the world, the first place he should choose is naturally the Nine Heavens Army.
The three princes of different surnames were different from ordinary princes without real power; their reliance was always on the military power they firmly held in their hands!
Su Ye will naturally begin to inherit the military power of the Nine Heavens Army.
Once you grasp military power, you'll naturally grasp everything; the title of Prince of Yun and the state of Yun will be within your grasp.
This is especially true in the coming chaos; whoever controls the military controls everything!
"Ding! Main quest activated - Seize Power! The slumbering dragon has been awakened, and its roar shakes a thousand mountains!"
As the chosen host of the Heavenly Emperor Star, how can one be without power for even a day when chaos is about to descend?
Please establish a force that is directly under your control!
Rewards: 100 Summoning Points, one Faction Summoning Card, and one unlimited random Summoning Card.
While Su Ye was thinking, the system notification suddenly rang in his ears.
Upon hearing the system notification, Su Ye, who had originally planned to join the Nine Heavens Army to seek a position, suddenly had other ideas.
My father is still alive and kicking, so even if I join the Nine Heavens Army, I can only be a mascot, at best a junior officer.
The people currently in power in the Nine Heavens Army are all his father's direct descendants, so he has no say in the matter.
Each person has their own niche, and since he hasn't even taken office yet, he can't possibly replace all of his father's loyal followers with his own.
So instead of joining the Nine Heavens Army as a good boy now, you might as well come out and take charge of your own life!
This does not conflict with his taking over the military power of Jiuxiao.
Even if Su Ye establishes a new army, it will still be part of the Nine Heavens Army.
It would only nominally belong to Su Ye's personal guard.
Although the number of this elite army may be a little over a hundred million.
But I, Su Ye, am the heir apparent of the Yun King and the future head of Yunzhou.
Is it a problem if we're a little afraid of dying, or if our personal guards are a few hundred million more?
no problem!
As for whether there will be any obstacles to inheriting the Nine Heavens Army in the future since he is not in the Nine Heavens Army.
To this, Su Ye could only say, "How naive!"
After five hundred years of management by the Yunwang Mansion, the Nine Heavens Army has long been firmly marked by the Yunwang Su family and has a mature operating system. As long as Su Ye inherits the throne of Yunwang in the future, there will be no surprises in the military power of the Nine Heavens Army!
Moreover, to put it bluntly, the Nine Heavens Army has been under the control of the Cloud Prince's Mansion for so long, so whether Su Ye is in the army or not is actually the same.
The Yunwang Mansion has firmly controlled the Jiuxiao Army in every aspect, not to mention logistics, military pay, and mid-level generals.
The 300,000 soldiers of the Nine Heavens Army alone were selected from all over Yunzhou. Their families, hometowns, and ultimate destinations were all under the control of the Yunwang Mansion in Yunzhou.
The Nine Heavens Army has no means to resist the Cloud Prince's Mansion!
Just like the rebellion of ancient feudal lords, did their soldiers not know that this was a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of their families?
They know!
But they had no choice or resources; everything they had was under the control of the princes, and they could only drift along with the tide!
There were rumors circulating that the general was dissatisfied and the throne was unstable.
Anyone who believes that is a fool!
What ordinary people know, how could so many generals and advisors in the Prince Yun's mansion not have considered?
The Yunwang Mansion has controlled the Nine Heavens Army and Yunzhou for five hundred years. What kind of situation haven't they encountered? What kind of situation haven't they considered and prevented?
Even if there were such a thing, it would just be someone deliberately spreading the news to fool the fool in order to train the prince!
Anyone who actually believed that deserves to be scammed!
...
"The Nine Heavens Army has 10 reserve soldiers in Lintian and Zhanwu battalions. I want to select 3 from them to practice."
Yes, for the powerful and wealthy Yunwang Mansion, a force of 3 soldiers that might require a grassroots leader to painstakingly build up is merely a training exercise!
Originally, Su Ye also planned to directly join the Nine Heavens Army and begin preparations for taking over the Nine Heavens Army.
But looking at the luxurious stats of the four heavenly spirits that were just summoned, and the Azure Dragon, a top-tier divine leader with a command level of 104.
Su Ye suddenly felt that it would be an injustice not to build an army that bore his mark from beginning to end!
Furthermore, Baihu also needs a dedicated cavalry force that can perfectly complement his military strength and combat style.
"Also, didn't the Nine Heavens Army recently receive a member of the Confucian Meng family? I'd like to transfer him over."
Su Ye thought for a moment. Since he was planning to build another army, he naturally had to get Qinglong out of the Nine Heavens Army as soon as possible.
"Hmm... well, consider it gaining experience."
After hearing his son's plan, Su Kai thought about it and didn't have any objections.
The Yunwang Mansion and the Jiuxiao Army have the confidence to let Su Ye act recklessly.
To put it bluntly, given the Nine Heavens Army's resources, even if Su Ye builds all 30,000 reserve soldiers, it won't be a problem.
As long as Su Ye can grow, the loss of these 30,000 reserve soldiers is acceptable.
It's cruel, and it's also very realistic...
A single word from someone in a position of power can determine the life or death of countless people.
