Chapter 265 Your Majesty Did It on Purpose
That night, Ning Chen had a dream!
A very erotic and scary dream.
In the dream, he had Yudie on his left and Zisu on his right... He was hugged by two women, enjoying the best of both worlds.
Just as he led the bald young generals to fight in and out of the muddy swamp, Emperor Xuan suddenly appeared with the Ninth Princess.
"You bastard, you repeatedly rejected me... How is my daughter not worthy of you?"
"Come here, drag Ning Chen down and castrate him!"
Ning Chen was frightened awake.
He was still in shock, but fortunately it was just a dream.
He looked at the sky outside the window. It should be the morning hour now.
Emperor Xuan should have just started court.
Ning Chen closed his eyes and continued to sleep, trying to continue the erotic dream just now.
......
Beijing, the palace!
At this time, Emperor Xuan had indeed just started court.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"
All the civil and military officials knelt down together.
Emperor Xuan sat on the dragon throne and raised his hand: "My dear ministers, stand up!"
After all the officials stood up, Emperor Xuan raised the memorial in his hand and said: "This is the memorial sent back to the capital by Xizhou in an urgent manner."
Everyone was shocked!
Everyone now knows that the left prime minister hid in Xizhou and secretly stationed 20,000 troops. Ning Chen led his army to attack Xizhou to quell the rebellion.
The ministers looked at Emperor Xuan.
Seeing Emperor Xuan's expressionless face, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous... Could it be that Ning Chen was defeated?
Xizhou City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is indeed not easy to take it down.
Emperor Xuan said in a deep voice: "My dear ministers should all know the importance of Xizhou."
Of course, all the civil and military officials understand.
Once Xizhou is lost, the enemy army can attack the nearby Lingzhou, then Liangzhou, and finally march straight into the capital.
From what your majesty said, Ning Chen was indeed defeated.
"Your Majesty! Ning Chen failed to live up to your majesty's grace in the attack on Yuzhou this time, and he should be severely punished."
A censor jumped out.
"Your Majesty, I think your majesty should never trust Ning Chen wrongly... According to my understanding, it was Liang Jingwu, the commander of Beilin Pass, who killed the Beidu royal court and captured the Beiting king alive. Ning Chen is just trying to steal the credit."
"Your Majesty, we ceded land and paid compensation, and finally negotiated peace with Nanyue... Now that Ning Chen failed, Nanyue will definitely take the opportunity to cause chaos in order to gain more benefits. Ning Chen deserves death."
"Your Majesty! Ning Chen was defeated and humiliated the national prestige. He should be severely punished."
Emperor Xuan looked at the censors expressionlessly. He said in a cold voice: "According to your beloved ministers, I am also wrong for attacking Yuzhou this time?"
"Your Majesty! Please forgive me for being so bold, Your Majesty is indeed wrong and should not trust Ning Chen."
"This old minister thinks that Your Majesty is too lenient to Ning Chen, which is really wrong!"
"Your Majesty! Ning Chen's talent is not as good as his reputation... Your Majesty is wrong to blindly favor him."
The Emperor Xuan's face was very ugly.
These censors and imperial officials are so annoying and hateful.
"According to your beloved ministers, I should not favor Ning Chen, so who should I favor?"
"I trust several of you equally... How about this, I will send 50,000 troops to you, and you will attack Yuzhou."
"I can promise that as long as you take Yuzhou, I will make you a marquis, how about it?"
The censors and imperial officials who were jumping up and down suddenly quieted down and looked at each other.
"Your Majesty! I am a civil official, not good at leading troops."
"We are just weak scholars. It is the military who should lead the army."
"Your Majesty, I am old and weak. I want to serve the country, but I am unable to do so."
Emperor Xuan was so angry that he laughed, "So you can only talk?"
The civil officials were dissatisfied.
"Your Majesty, we can give advice."
Emperor Xuan said, "Give advice? Tell me, my dear ministers, how to capture the state of Zhuozhou?"
"Zhuozhou is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The city wall is five or six feet high and ten feet wide. What good ideas do you have? Tell me so that I can hear them?"
The court fell into a dead silence for a while.
A censor stood up and said, "Your Majesty, my Great Xuan is full of talents and strong soldiers... Find a commander who is good at military strategy and lead an army of 200,000, and we will definitely be able to capture the city of Luzhou."
Emperor Xuan was furious. He picked up the incense burner on the dragon table and threw it directly at the censor who was speaking.
Bang! ! !
It missed!
The incense burner fell to the ground with a loud noise.
The censor who had just offered advice was so scared that his face turned pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"You idiots who can only talk, Chang Chengyun only has 20,000 people, and you asked me to send 200,000 troops to attack... What, do you think my soldiers of the Great Xuan are useless?"
"I just said that if he captures Luzhou City, I will make him a marquis... Is there anyone to share my worries?"
Emperor Xuan finished speaking.
A general stood up, "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army to attack Yuzhou and relieve your Majesty's worries."
"I am also willing to relieve your Majesty's worries!"
"Your Majesty, give me 50,000 soldiers and horses, and I will definitely be able to take Yuzhou."
Emperor Xuan showed a look of relief on his face.
"It seems that my great Xuan is not just a bunch of useless people who can only talk, but also has strong men."
Emperor Xuan waved his hand and signaled several generals to join the ranks.
Immediately, his eyes fell on several censors, "You are jumping up and down here, attacking Ning Chen... When did I say that Ning Chen was defeated?"
Everyone was stunned!
Emperor Xuan raised the memorial in his hand and said, "This is a victory report... Ning Chen only used 20,000 soldiers and horses, and within a day, he captured Yuzhou City."
"More than 10,000 rebels were captured, the traitor Chang Chengyun was beheaded, and all the officials of the state of Yuzhou were arrested... The property was confiscated, and millions of taels were seized."
The civil and military officials were stunned!
Immediately, the court was in an uproar.
It took less than a day to capture Yuzhou?
Yuzhou City is easy to defend but difficult to attack, how did Ning Chen do it?
Emperor Xuan stared at the censors and said angrily: "Do you still think that I have trusted Ning Chen wrongly? Isn't it right for me to favor him?"
"If you have this ability, I can even worship you... But can you?"
A group of censors and imperial censors blushed and were ashamed!
It was careless!
Ning Chen won, why are you so stern? We all misunderstood... The censors and imperial censors secretly complained in their hearts.
But most people have reacted, such as the right prime minister, Li Hanru and others... Your Majesty did it on purpose.
He is building momentum for Ning Chen.
Your Majesty has repeatedly mentioned the title of marquis.
It seems that Ning Chen should be appointed as prime minister and be given a title of marquis when he returns this time.
With the drama just now, it would be inappropriate for Your Majesty to give Ning Chen a title of marquis, and if someone jumps out to oppose it.
It seems that Daxuan will soon have another marquis!
Emperor Xuan glanced at the memorial in his hand, and the corners of his mouth were harder to suppress than AK.
Ning Chen, this kid, lived up to his favor and always brought him surprises.
He received the memorial last night. Although the words in it were a bit flattering and exaggerated... he still couldn't hide his joy and favored a young lady who had just entered the palace.
Emperor Xuan felt that his fighting power was getting stronger and stronger.
In the past, he was too lazy to go to the harem for ten days and half a month... Now he will go to the harem every two or three days.
This is all Ning Chen's credit. The prescription he presented to him is really useful.
Emperor Xuan collected his thoughts and glanced at Eunuch Quan.
Eunuch Quan took a step forward and said in a shrill voice: "Dismiss the court!"
"Your Majesty has ordered that the Right Prime Minister, Mr. Li from the Hanlin Academy, and the six ministers of the imperial study await your arrival."
