The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich

Chapter 2026: Finale
 

He smiled and said to Jiang Zhennan,” General, Father has asked me to hand over the 100,000 soldiers of the Tiger Head Army to you! And he wants me to give you my Tiger Tally Token!”

After saying that, he took out the Tiger Tally Token from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Zhennan without a care. He smiled and said,” Then please accept it, Great General!”

However, Jiang Zhennan refused.

This surprised the Crown Prince. He asked doubtfully,” Why?”

To anyone, the allure of military power was extremely great. It could be said that other than imperial power, the allure of military power was also great.

Even as the future Crown Prince, he still yearned to have at least a portion of military power.

However, he had not even gotten the authority to use the troops for that long, and now he had to hand it over to someone else. He was very unwilling in his heart.

But so what?

The person who asked him to hand over the military power was precisely the highest person in the imperial power. No one could defy the holy will.

However, this military power that he had yet to grasp was rejected when he handed it over to someone else. It really surprised him.

Unexpectedly, he felt puzzled.

Jiang Zhennan said coldly,” I only want my Jiang family’s army! As for this Tiger Head Army, I can’t accept it!” A third of his military power in the Imperial Court was just right. Otherwise, an additional military power might become a reason for the Imperial Court to attack him.

His high achievements would shock his master!

This was a taboo in the eyes of any dynasty and any emperor.

Moreover, the Jiang family’s army under Jiang Zhennan’s control already had many military achievements and illustrious contributions. It had already made people jealous.

If not for the Emperor’s tolerance and trust, perhaps he would have been exiled or even beheaded.

However, the current Emperor was already old. It was difficult to say whether the next Emperor would have the breadth of mind and tolerance of the current Emperor!

The husband and wife had helped the Crown Prince ascend to the throne.

But human hearts were unpredictable!

Anyone who was an emperor would be suspicious!

The husband and wife, one with power and the other with wealth, could easily become a thorn in the Emperor’s side.

He had already won the battle, so there was no need to do anything else.

Moreover, the soldiers of the Tiger Head Army might not follow his orders willingly.

This way, he would have to worry again.

Ever since he got to know Lin Yuelan, he had gradually learned how to enjoy life. Worrying was the last thing he enjoyed.

It was best for him to reject this division of military power now.

The Crown Prince Yuwen Yanyu’s ascension was already a fact that was set in stone.

The Emperor had given him the Tiger Tally Token and asked him to lead 100,000 soldiers over. This was to intentionally raise the Crown Prince’s prestige in the army. He also had the intention of handing over the Tiger Head Army to the Crown Prince to manage.

Therefore, he, Jiang Zhennan, would not snatch the military power from the Crown Prince.

Hearing Jiang Zhennan’s rejection, the Crown Prince was secretly delighted. However, there was a worried look on his face as he said,” But, Great General, Father asked me to give this to you. If you reject it now, how am I going to explain it to Father?”

Jiang Zhennan said,” Your Highness, after I return to the court, I will report to His Majesty. Your Highness, just report to His Majesty truthfully.”

The Crown Prince didn’t reject it anymore.

He nodded and said,” Alright then!”

At this point, he paused for a moment and continued,” Great General, Father said in the letter that I will return to the capital on the day I receive the letter!”

Jiang Zhennan nodded and said,” Alright then. I wish the Crown Prince a safe journey!”

The Crown Prince nodded and said,” Farewell!”

After the crown prince left, Guo Bing smiled and said,” Boss, why did you refuse? The Tiger Head Army held one-third of the military power. Once you receive the Tiger Tally Token, that one-third of the military power will be in your hands. This way, you will have two-thirds of the military power of the Imperial Court. What an honourable thing!”

Jiang Zhennan glanced at him and snorted.” Hmph, you talk too much!”

At this moment, a soldier suddenly came over and reported,” General, something bad has happened. Go and take a look outside!”

Jiang Zhennan had just walked out of the tent when he saw the Crown Prince walking towards him.

“Crown Prince?” Jiang Zhennan was full of doubts as if he was wondering why he had returned.

The Crown Prince’s face was filled with anxiety as he said,” Great General, look, what’s going on?”

He pointed to a place.

Jiang Zhennan looked in the direction the Crown Prince was pointing at, and his pupils constricted. He was as shocked as the others.

The grass was growing wildly. No, it wasn’t just one patch of grass. In the entire military camp, all the green grass that could be seen was growing wildly. Other than the grass, the trees beside it were also growing wildly.
