Chapter 403: Reinstatement

Emperor Xuan frowned and looked at the right prime minister.

Civil and military officials whispered.

Emperor Xuan said with a cold face: "My dear ministers, what should we do when the army of Wu Kingdom approaches?"

The ministers were silent.

Ning Chen suddenly stepped out and said: "Your Majesty! In the current situation, sending Lord Shen to negotiate is unlikely to succeed... We must have a person of high position and power to negotiate to show respect for Wu Kingdom, so that there is a possibility of success."

The right prime minister suddenly felt uneasy and turned to look at Ning Chen.

Ning Chen smiled brightly at him, then looked at Emperor Xuan and continued: "Your Majesty, I suggest that the right prime minister go to negotiate."

"I am the right prime minister of the Great Xuan, second only to one person and above ten thousand people. This status is enough to demonstrate the sincerity of the Great Xuan in the peace talks."

The right prime minister's heart skipped a beat!

He was a little panicked. Why did Ning Chen recommend him to negotiate? Did Ning Chen know something?

If Ning Chen really knew something? Then he absolutely cannot go to Wu State as an envoy, otherwise he will not be able to come back alive.

He knew about Ning Chen and the Empress of Wu State, but he just had no evidence.

"Your Majesty! The journey to Wu State is long, and I am old and weak, so I am afraid I can't do it."

Ning Chen smiled and said, "The Right Prime Minister is being modest! I heard that the Right Prime Minister's nephew is a governor in Mingzhou, and he sent eight beautiful women to the Right Prime Minister a while ago."

"Eight beauties, who dares to say that the Right Prime Minister is old and weak? Even a young man like me can't compare to him."

The Right Prime Minister's heart skipped a beat, his breathing stagnated, and he was terrified.

How did Ning Chen know this?

The whole court looked at the Right Prime Minister in amazement.

Even Emperor Xuan was like this.

The Right Prime Minister is usually serious, but I didn't expect him to play so much in private?

The Right Prime Minister forced himself to calm down, looked at Ning Chen, and said calmly: "No! You probably believed the rumors. I am not a lustful person, your majesty knows this!"

Ning Chen smiled and said: "A horse is weak because it is thin, and a person is not romantic because he is poor... The Right Prime Minister is powerful and powerful, second to none."

"With the status of the Right Prime Minister, let alone eight beauties, even eighty can be supported."

The Right Prime Minister's face turned black and he wanted to swear.

Ning Chen kept saying "second to none, first to none". Isn't this reminding your majesty that his power is too great?

"Mr. Ning is joking! Everything I have is given by your majesty, I should keep myself clean and live up to your grace!"

"Live up to your grace, well said... Right Prime Minister's righteousness!" Ning Chen shouted, and then changed the subject, "So, the Right Prime Minister agreed to go on a diplomatic mission to Wu State?"

The Right Prime Minister's expression froze. When did he agree?

He leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty! I have no choice but to go to Wu State as an envoy... But I am old and weak, and I have suffered from cold legs a few days ago, so I am really powerless."

The Emperor Xuan's face darkened.

But the reason why he was angry was that the civil and military officials in the court shouted every day that they would share the worries of the emperor... But when it came to the critical moment, no one could do anything.

"Since the right prime minister is ill, forget it... My dear ministers, who is willing to go to Wu State as an envoy to promote peace talks?"

"As long as the peace talks are successful and Wu State withdraws its troops, I will reward you greatly!"

The civil and military officials in the court were silent.

The Emperor Xuan's face became uglier!

Li Hanru stepped out and said, "Your Majesty! I recommend Ning Chen... Ning Chen is a master of military strategy. If the peace talks fail, he can lead troops to fight against the army of Wu State. He can attack or defend. He is the best choice for this mission to Wu State."

Li Zhixing stepped out and said, "Your Majesty! Lord Li's words make a lot of sense. I second the proposal!"

Shen Min followed and said, "I also second the proposal!"

Emperor Xuan's eyes fell on Ning Chen.

Ning Chen leaned over and said loudly, "Your Majesty! I am different from those cheap guys who can only shout slogans... I am the knife in your Majesty's hand. Who can I cut?"

"But I am a commoner with a humble status. If I go to Wu State as an envoy, Wu State will think that this is disrespectful to them. I am afraid that the peace talks will not be successful and the contradictions will be intensified."

The corners of the mouths of the civil and military officials twitched. Who are they calling a cheap guy?

This bastard is so hateful... You want an official position, so why are you calling us a cheap guy?

Emperor Xuan glared at him and said, "Ning Chen listens to the order!"

Ning Chen knelt down, "I accept the order!"

Emperor Xuan said, "From now on, Ning Chen will be reinstated!"

"Your Majesty, thank you for your grace!"

Ning Chen shouted.

Fan Taihe and others were livid.

It was not easy to drive Ning Chen out of the court, and it has only been a few months, and he is reinstated!

Emperor Xuan looked at the civil and military officials, "Do you have any opinions?"

The officials were silent.

They had opinions, but they didn't dare to say it...Whoever opposed it now would have to go to Wu State on behalf of Ning Chen, which was a life-threatening matter, so they didn't go.

Emperor Xuan snorted coldly and said, "If you can promote peace talks this time and persuade Wu State to withdraw its troops, I will appoint you as a first-class general when you come back."

Ning Chen said, "Your Majesty, thank you for your grace! I will do my best and live up to your expectations."

Promote peace talks, persuade Wu State to withdraw its troops... Isn't this just a matter of a word?

Emperor Xuan was relieved and nodded slightly.

"If there is nothing else, let's leave the court!"

Emperor Xuan waved his hand and turned to leave.

"Congratulations, Lord!"

Li Hanru and others surrounded him.

"Come to my house when you have time, I will treat everyone to a drink!"

Ning Chen chatted with them for a few words, turned around and walked a few steps quickly to catch up with Fan Taihe.

"Lord Fan, how have you been doing during the days I was away from Beijing?"

Fan Taihe said with a straight face, "Thank you for your concern, Lord. I am living a good life!"

Ning Chen smiled and said, "Really? Demoted three levels, fined one year's salary... Lord Fan is living a very enjoyable life."

Fan Taihe's face was cold.

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, "Lord Fan, I am back, I am afraid you will not live a good life in the future!"

Fan Taihe's eyes flashed with fear, and he left in a hurry!

Ning Chen looked around, took a few quick steps, and caught up with the right prime minister.

"Your Excellency Right Prime Minister is walking briskly, you don't look like you have an old cold leg at all?"

The Right Prime Minister stopped and leaned over and said, "Your Excellency is joking, I'm just trying to hold on."

"I'm reinstated, but the Right Prime Minister doesn't seem happy?"

The Right Prime Minister smiled and said, "Your Excellency has been reinstated, how can I not be happy? Oh, I forgot to congratulate you."

Ning Chen waved his hand, "Don't be so polite! If you really want to congratulate me, when will you take me to your elegant garden to play?"

The Right Prime Minister's face suddenly changed, staring at Ning Chen.

Ning Chen looked at him with a smile.

The Right Prime Minister was really shocked this time. It took him a while to come back to his senses and said, "What is Yayuan? I really don't understand what the Marquis said."

Ning Chen smiled brightly, "Don't pretend, Right Prime Minister! You usually disguise yourself and sneak in and out of Yayuan from the back door... Tell me, what is hidden in this Yayuan?"

"Are all the beauties given to you by the people below hidden in Yayuan? It's better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone. Invite me to go and play one day?"

"Don't be so stingy, Right Prime Minister. The most solid relationship in the world is to have carried guns together and visited prostitutes together... Unless the Right Prime Minister looks down on me and doesn't want to make friends with me?"

The Right Prime Minister looked panicked, "Marquis, I don't know what you are talking about? I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"
