Chapter 234: The Second Prince Is Also a Time Traveler?
Ning Chen said seriously, "I am speaking from the heart, the heaven and earth are witnesses, the sun and the moon are witnesses."
Seeing Ning Chen's serious look, Emperor Xuan wanted to laugh.
"Ning Chen, if I really can't wake up, what are you going to do?"
Ning Chen said, "Then I will try my best to wake up Your Majesty even if I die."
"In fact, I have sent people to Liangzhou. The court said that his senior brother is a superb doctor and is in Liangzhou... It seems that this old man is lying to me."
Lin Wen treated His Majesty and must have known that Emperor Xuan was pretending to be unconscious.
Emperor Xuan looked at him with relief.
"Ning Chen, let's talk about business... The case of the Queen and Prince Fu has not been completely concluded."
Ning Chen knew that Emperor Xuan was worried about the Grand Tutor. But he still asked, "I am stupid, please tell me clearly, Your Majesty!"
In front of His Majesty, you can't act too smart, you should be loyal when you should be loyal, and you should be stupid when you should be stupid.
Emperor Xuan said in a deep voice, "I am worried about the Grand Tutor."
The Queen has the Grand Tutor behind her, and the Prince is weak.
He originally planned to wait for the Grand Tutor to return to the court, and then remove the Grand Tutor's military power... to maintain a balance of power between the Queen and the Crown Prince.
But he didn't expect that Ning Chen would pursue the matter all the way and force the Queen and others to start a rebellion rashly.
Although Prince Fu and the Queen have been captured now, the Grand Tutor has 200,000 troops to guard the border.
"Ning Chen, you killed the uncle of the king, and I sentenced the Queen to death."
"If the Grand Tutor knew, who knows what crazy actions he would take?"
Emperor Xuan frowned, looking very worried.
He continued, "Although I have sent an order to the border to remove the Grand Tutor's military power... But the 200,000 troops have always been led by the Grand Tutor, and most of the generals in the army are the Grand Tutor's men."
Ning Chen's heart sank.
If the Grand Tutor knew that his children were all dead, he might rebel.
Moreover, this possibility is very high.
Emperor Xuan said in a deep voice: "I was also very angry last night. I should have banished the queen to the cold palace first and dealt with her after the Grand Tutor returned to the court."
"But it's too late to say anything now... I just hope that the imperial edict is delivered before the Grand Tutor gets the news."
"Ning Chen, if the imperial edict is delivered in advance, the Grand Tutor hands over the tiger talisman and returns to the court with the people I sent, then everything will be fine."
"If the Grand Tutor gets the news that the queen was sentenced to death in advance, then you have to prepare early."
Ning Chen was surprised, "Me?"
Emperor Xuan said unhappily: "You caused the trouble, of course you have to solve it."
Fuck! ! !
Ning Chen's forehead was full of black lines.
How could he have caused the trouble? You sentenced the queen to death...Ning Chen complained in his heart.
Emperor Xuan asked, "Ning Chen, if the Grand Master rebels... I order you to suppress the rebellion, how many soldiers do you need?"
Ning Chen thought for a moment and said, "If we can build artillery in time, plus the musket battalion... 50,000 soldiers will be enough for me!"
"I heard from Ji Mingchen that you asked him to burn all the drawings of muskets and artillery."
Ning Chen nodded, "Because I didn't know that Your Majesty was pretending to be unconscious, I asked Lord Ji to burn the drawings just in case... But it doesn't matter, I will draw a new one and send it to Lord Ji."
Emperor Xuan nodded, "We must hurry up with the artillery."
Ning Chen nodded.
Emperor Xuan said in a deep voice, "Ning Chen, there is another person who must be eliminated."
"Who is Your Majesty talking about?"
"Left Prime Minister."
Ning Chen showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.
Emperor Xuan frowned and said, "The left prime minister may know the scandal of Prince Fu and the Queen, and he knows too much about the deployment of the Great Xuan army... This person must be eliminated. He is always a thorn in my heart."
"Your Majesty, do you have any news about the left prime minister?"
Emperor Xuan said, "I have sent people to Yuzhou secretly before, and I believe there will be news in one or two days."
Ning Chen leaned over, "As long as it is confirmed that the left prime minister is in Yuzhou, I am willing to go there in person to help Your Majesty get rid of him."
Emperor Xuan smiled and nodded.
At this time, a little eunuch tiptoed in and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the fifth prince asked to see you, saying that he came to pay his respects to Your Majesty!"
The smile on Emperor Xuan's face disappeared immediately.
"I am busy, let him go back!"
"Yes!"
The little eunuch retreated.
Ning Chen was surprised that His Majesty did not seem to like the fifth prince.
In fact, Emperor Xuan did not dislike the Fifth Prince, but these people came to show their courtesy just when the Crown Prince was in trouble. Their little thoughts were exposed, which made him extremely disgusted.
Emperor Xuan looked at Ning Chen, "You go and see Huai'an!"
Ning Chen was slightly startled.
Emperor Xuan sighed: "Although the deposed Crown Prince is extremely rebellious, he has always been very good to Huai'an... When she learned that the deposed Crown Prince was in trouble, Huai'an was very sad and her eyes were swollen from crying. You go and see her."
Ning Chen leaned over: "Your Majesty, I accept the order!"
Emperor Xuan waved his hand, indicating that Ning Chen could leave.
"Your Majesty, I'll take my leave!"
Ning Chen left the imperial study and saw a fat, white, and not very smart young man at the door.
This should be the Fifth Prince.
Ning Chen remembered that he had beaten up the deposed Crown Prince's guard Lu Yan, who was mistaken for the Fifth Prince.
The Fifth Prince looked at Ning Chen curiously.
Ning Chen was about to go forward to greet him, but he didn't expect the Fifth Prince to show him a naive smile and then leave quickly.
This made Ning Chen freeze in place for a moment.
Nie Liang walked over, looked at the dazed Ning Chen, and smiled: "Why, don't you know the Fifth Prince?"
"This is my first time meeting...this Fifth Prince, why does he feel weird?"
Nie Liang looked around and said in a low voice: "The fifth prince had a serious illness when he was a child, and then his brain became a little wrong, and he was a little stupid."
Ning Chen said, "Oh," and then asked curiously: "Why haven't you heard of the fourth prince?"
"The fourth prince is brave and good at fighting, leading the army outside... The New Year is coming soon, and the fourth prince will definitely come back, and you will be able to see him then."
Nie Liang said in a low voice: "Ning Chen, stay away from the princes recently."
"What do you mean?"
"The prince just had an accident, and now the position of the crown prince is vacant. I'm afraid there will be a struggle in the palace. If you get too close to a prince, you will be regarded as taking sides by other princes, which will be disadvantageous to you!"
Ning Chen bowed and said, "I've learned your lesson! Let's go to the Jiaofangsi to listen to music another day... I'll treat you."
Nie Liang glanced at him, "Nie never goes to that kind of place."
Ning Chen pouted, "Then it's okay to go to Tianfulou another day, right?"
Nie Liang nodded and agreed.
After saying goodbye to Nie Liang, Ning Chen came to Luohuang Palace and met the Ninth Princess.
The Ninth Princess was still wearing a red dress, but she didn't put on any makeup. Her expression was dull and her eyes were red, like a little rabbit that had just cried.
"Why are you here?"
"Uh... I saw the plum blossoms in the palace blooming, and suddenly I got an inspiration and wrote a poem. The Ninth Princess is extremely talented, and I would like to ask the princess to give me some advice."
Ning Chen could see that the Ninth Princess was in a very low mood. The Ninth Princess liked poetry, and he wanted to use a poem to make the Ninth Princess happy.
The Ninth Princess said in a low mood, "Then what do you say?"
"There are a few plum blossoms in the corner, and they bloom alone in the cold..."
Ning Chen deliberately stopped and looked at the Ninth Princess.
The Ninth Princess looked at him strangely.
"Did you write this poem?"
It wasn't written by me, I got it for free, Ning Chen thought, but he still nodded shamelessly.
Who knew that the Ninth Princess waved her little pink fist and punched Ning Chen on the arm.
Ning Chen rubbed his arm. This little brat was quite strong. It hurt when she hit him.
The Ninth Princess said angrily: "Ning Chen, you dare to use the second brother's poem to deceive me... If my father knew about it, he would definitely give you a beating."
Ning Chen was stunned for a moment, his face full of surprise, "Who is the second brother?"
This is a five-character quatrain by Wang Anshi. Is there a Wang Anshi in this world? Changed his name to the second brother?
"Stupid, the second brother is my second brother, the second prince."
Ning Chen was completely stunned!
The Ninth Princess said: "This poem was written by the second brother when he was ten years old... There are a few plum branches in the corner of the wall, blooming alone in the cold, I know it's not snow, because there is a faint fragrance."
"Huh, you dare to use the second brother's poem to deceive me?"
Ning Chen's mind was confused.
Damn it! ! !
Could it be that this second prince, like him, came from a different time?
