Chapter 215 Threatening and Winning Over

Ning Chen came out of the sixth place and came to the first place.

There are no new clues in the fairy powder case?

Ning Chen lay on the table, writing and drawing.

It took more than an hour and was finally completed.

He picked up the drawing, checked it several times, modified a few places, and then rode to the Ministry of War.

Ji Mingchen had been very anxious these days, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Several officials from the Ministry of War were involved in the fairy powder case. He, the Minister of the Ministry of War, was summoned by His Majesty to reprimand him every few days.

In the past few days, Ji Mingchen has not returned home and has been staying at the Ministry of War for self-examination.

He now personally oversees the building of artillery.

It was a small matter involving a few officials. If the guns and artillery were lost, or something happened...he, the Minister of War, would be completely finished.

"Ning Yinyi, do you have anything to do with me?"

Ning Chen took out the drawings and handed them to Ji Mingchen.

Ji Mingchen hurriedly put down the tea cup and took it with both hands... Because as long as Ning Chen brought the blueprints, he would have made a new firearm.

Ji Mingchen looked at it for a while, but didn't understand it, so he asked curiously: "What is this?"

"Master Ji will arrange for someone to make the new firearm I made. I will teach the craftsmen how to assemble it later."

Ji Mingchen looked at Ning Chen with admiration.

"Ning Yinyi, you're so smart... I'm convinced!"

There is no need to admire me, I am just someone who planted trees for others to enjoy the shade, and just prostituted other people's things for free... Ning Chen said in his heart.

Ning Chen said: "I have already reported it to Your Majesty, Master Ji just needs to build it."

Ji Mingchen nodded.

"Master Ji, how is the artillery building going?"

Ji Mingchen said: "The iron pipe is too thick and casting is very troublesome... Give me a few more days."

Ning Chen nodded, "Don't rush, take your time!"

After chatting with Ji Mingchen for a while, Ning Chen stood up and left.

...

After coming out of the Ministry of War, Ning Chen rode his beloved Diao Chan to the Jiaofang Department.

Yudie's complexion improved a lot.

"How are you feeling today?"

Yudie said happily: "The doctor just left. He said that the slaves are young and have strong recovery ability... They will be able to go to the ground in ten days."

Ning Chen smiled and nodded, "That's good!"

Ning Chen was chatting with Yu Die when Xiao Xing hurried in.

"Master Ning, there is someone looking for you outside."

Ning Chen asked Yudie to have a good rest and then came outside.

Unexpectedly, the person looking for him was the prince's guard, Lu Yan.

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes, "How do you know I'm here?"

Lu Yan smiled and said: "It is not difficult for Your Highness to find someone in the capital."

"Really? Could you please the prince to help me find the mastermind behind the fairy powder?"

Lu Yan laughed dryly, clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Ning, the prince has invited you!"

Ning Chen hummed and followed Lu Yan outside.

There was a gorgeous carriage parked on the street.

Lu Yan walked to the carriage and whispered: "Your Highness, Mr. Ning is here!"

"Ning Chen, come up and chat."

Ning Chen stepped on the horse stool and walked into the carriage.

The prince was dressed in rich clothes and a large cloak. He was holding a hand warmer in his hand and showed an honest smile to Ning Chen.

"I've met the prince!"

The prince looked at him and said with a smile: "Ning Chen, it seems that since you came back from the Northern Expedition, there seems to be a lot of distance between you and me?"

Ning Chen smiled and said, "The prince is the heir apparent, and Ning Chen is just a little silver-haired man with a different status."

The prince pointed to the side and said, "Sit down."

"I'm not going to sit down anymore. If the prince has any orders, please tell me directly."

The prince narrowed his eyes and looked at Ning Chen.

"Ning Chen, do you know what your biggest problem is?"

Ning Chen shook his head, "Your Highness, please make it clear."

"Your biggest problem is that you are unruly, undisciplined, and ignore the imperial authority... You are told to go east, but you go west. This is really annoying."

"I don't know why my father favors you so much? In fact, I liked you quite a bit at first, but gradually, I didn't like you that much."

"Ning Chen, the royal family is the royal family. No one is allowed to offend the imperial power... If you can change this, with your talent, you will have a place in the court."

As the prince spoke, his eyes became sharp, completely different from his usual honest and honest look.

Ning Chen was not surprised. He had known for a long time that the prince had two faces. He was a two-faced man and the city was very deep.

And what the prince said was not unreasonable.

The emperor preferred obedient ministers to capable ministers.

Ning Chen did indeed do a lot of outrageous things.

But Emperor Xuan was particularly tolerant of him.

Is this what people often say, there is no reason to like someone.

However, Ning Chen comes from modern times, and some things are difficult to change.

Ning Chen leaned over and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your advice. I will try my best to correct it."

The prince looked at Ning Chen and said, "To be disrespectful, after a hundred years, my father, this Daxuan will eventually be mine."

"Ning Chen, you are very good and very capable... As long as you can distinguish between monarch and minister, and between superior and inferior... I can promise that you will have a place in the future court."

Ning Chen sneered in his heart, what is this? Threatening or coaxing?

The prince has a deep mind, he is different from Emperor Xuan... Emperor Xuan favors him and indulges him, but if the prince ascends the throne, he will never treat him like Emperor Xuan.

Maybe the first thing he does when he ascends the throne is to kill himself.

Therefore, the throne of Daxuan must not fall to the crown prince.

However, Emperor Xuan is now in his prime. As long as he protects Emperor Xuan, he can live in peace for decades... After Emperor Xuan is a hundred years old, he will have grown up.

"Ning Chen, I need your help."

Ning Chen smiled and said, "What does your highness want me to do?"

"I need you to help me ascend the throne. I can promise you the position of prime minister."

Ning Chen's eyes narrowed, "What does your highness mean? Do you want to seize power and usurp the throne?"

The prince shook his head and said, "You misunderstood! How could I do such a treasonous thing... I am already the crown prince, and the future of the Great Xuan will definitely be mine. I just need you to help me consolidate my position as the crown prince."

Ning Chen shook his head, "Your highness thinks too highly of me. I don't have this Such ability... Besides, Your Highness is already the crown prince, how can you stabilize it? "

The prince said in a deep voice: "Ning Chen, you are a smart man, it's pointless to pretend to be stupid. "

"You should understand... My position as the crown prince is not stable, the third prince is eyeing it, he has the queen and the master behind him... You killed the uncle, the queen hates you to the core. "

"If the third prince ascends the throne, will you still have a way to live? You can only live by relying on me. "

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes and sneered in his heart... Rely on you? I will only die faster.

He changed the subject and said, "But Your Highness has His Majesty behind you, what is there to be afraid of?"

The prince smiled bitterly, "Whether I am the crown prince or not is just a matter of a word from my father... If I make a mistake, I am afraid that this crown prince position will no longer be mine."

"Let me tell you something intimate, I have been walking on thin ice these years, and I dare not make any mistakes."

"Ning Chen, now that it has come to this... Are you willing to help me?"

Ning Chen shook his head, "I am just a little silver clothes, what can I do to help the crown prince?"

"You are deeply favored by my father and can help me do a lot of things... Ning Chen, as long as you are willing to help me, I will promise you the position of left prime minister, second only to one person and above ten thousand people."

Ning Chen sneered in his heart, when I come back from the battle of Nanyue, I will be made a marquis and appointed as prime minister... Do I need you to promise me?

But he still nodded and agreed, "Okay, if there is a place for Ning Chen to serve, Your Highness can just ask."

The prince showed a satisfied smile on his face.
