Chapter 437: South Vietnam Proposes Marriage

Ning Chen rode his horse to the palace and met the saint in the imperial study room.

"My lord, see your majesty!"

Emperor Xuan raised his hand and said, "Get up and speak."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Xuan looked at Ning Chen, "Do you know why I announced your entry into the palace?"

Ning Chen shook his head, "I don't know!"

Emperor Xuan picked up a memorial and asked Eunuch Quan to hand it to Ning Chen.

Ning Chen took the memorial, opened it and looked at it, his face froze slightly.

"Proposing marriage?"

This is a marriage proposal letter, sent by the Nanyue Kingdom. He wants to marry Daxuan and marry the Ninth Princess. It is signed Kang Luo.

Emperor Xuan said: "The Kingdom of South Vietnam is willing to sign an armistice agreement with Daxuan, and will not be able to afford a war within ten years... The condition is to marry Huai'an."

"Ning Chen, what do you think about this matter?"

Ning Chen couldn't help but said: "They are thinking shit."

Emperor Xuan said: "If Huai'an gets married, peace in the south will be guaranteed for ten years."

Ning Chen felt a sudden change in his heart and looked at Emperor Xuan... His Majesty's words sounded like he was a little moved.

"What does your Majesty mean?"

Emperor Xuan said: "Of course I don't want to marry Huai'an to a barbarian land...but some people in the court are as afraid of the South Vietnamese as a tiger."

"Last time they were willing to cede land and pay compensation, but now they are just sacrificing one of my daughters, and they are naturally happy to do so."

"Ning Chen, although I am the emperor, sometimes there are many things that I can't do anything about... I have to consider the opinions of the ministers who advise me."

Ning Chen said with a sullen face: "Your Majesty, if I marry the princess, it will be a great shame and humiliation for Daxuan."

"Da Xuan is the king, and Nanyue is the minister... They should send a prince to the capital to be a hostage, instead of Da Xuan marrying a princess to seek peace."

"Your Majesty, you must never agree to this matter."

"To put it bluntly, I have already made a marriage contract with the Ninth Princess. Your Majesty has expressly granted the marriage. You have no joke... How can the Ninth Princess marry to South Vietnam?"

Emperor Xuan sighed and said: "But sometimes I am in trouble. I have suppressed this matter for the time being, but once those weaklings know about it, they will definitely advise me and beg me to agree."

Ning Chen frowned.

Those weaklings are willing to cede land and pay compensation.

Now, just one woman can be exchanged for ten years of peace. They must be as happy as bastards.

Ning Chen was about to ask for orders to lead his army to attack South Vietnam, but suddenly stopped.

Kang Luo suddenly asked to marry the Ninth Princess. Is there anything weird in this?

The frequent defeats in the southern border wars are enough to prove that Kangluo is good at military strategy.

But the second generation ancestor named Wei Feng went to the southern border and stabilized the situation.

He was 80% sure that Wei Feng belonged to the fifth prince and he wanted to control the Nanjing army.

Ning Chen's eyes narrowed and he came to the conclusion that the fifth prince had colluded with the Southern Territory.

After Ning Chen thought about it, he came to the conclusion that the fifth prince wanted to force him to go to the southern border.

I am afraid that part of the southern army is already in the hands of the fifth prince.

The reason why the fifth prince only controls part of it is because he has studied the situation in the southern border... Tong Yuanzhou, the commander of the southern border army, has guarded the southern border for more than ten years.

This man is brave and good at fighting and loyal to His Majesty.

Your Majesty also has great trust in this person, otherwise he would have been beheaded long ago due to his frequent defeats in the southern border wars.

Not long after Wei Feng went to the southern border, with Tong Yuanzhou around, it was impossible to completely control the southern border army.

But having control over a part of it is scary enough!

The fifth prince forced him to go to the southern border, probably because he wanted to join forces with Kang Luo to kill him.

The last time Kang Luo went to Daxuan as an envoy, he was treated like a monkey, so he must have hated him deeply.

The Fifth Prince failed to assassinate him several times. Now in the capital, he had no chance to kill him... If he wanted to kill him, he could only transfer him out of the capital.

This is a naked conspiracy.

This grandson, this trick is quite sinister.

Ning Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead troops to attack South Vietnam."

He had been planning the attack on South Vietnam for a long time.

In fact, even if the fifth prince didn't force him, he would go to the southern border... because he couldn't just watch the fifth prince control the southern border army.

Moreover, he had long wanted to learn Kang Luo's methods on the battlefield.

This was also the agreement between the two of them. When Kang Luo went on a mission to Daxuan, they agreed to meet on the battlefield.

Fifth Prince, forcing me to go to the southern border will be the worst decision you have ever made... Ning Chenxin said.

The corners of Emperor Xuan's mouth raised slightly, but he quickly restrained himself.

"Ning Chen, I don't want Huai'an to marry to South Vietnam... I'm very relieved that you have such thoughts."

"However, once this matter spreads, those weaklings will definitely not agree to the use of troops... You have to deal with those people yourself."

Ning Chen leaned over and said: "My lord, I obey the order!"

Emperor Xuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Okay, then I will tell you all about this in the court. It's up to you how to convince them."

"Ning Chen, your marriage to Huai'an has been prepared for a long time. When you return home, you will marry Huai'an."

Ning Chen rolled his eyes, "Your Majesty doesn't want the Ninth Princess to marry to South Vietnam, and he also wants to lead troops to attack South Vietnam... In fact, you only need to issue a decree, why bother?"

Emperor Xuan felt embarrassed that his little thoughts had been seen through. He said with a straight face: "How dare you try to figure out the holy will without permission?"

Ning Chen chuckled and said, "Is there any need to speculate? His Majesty's thoughts are written on his face."

Emperor Xuan's expression froze slightly, and he thought to himself, "Did I show it so obviously?"

He said with a straight face: "Okay, get out of here! Remember to go to court tomorrow."

Ning Chen smiled flatteringly, "Your Majesty, I will leave in a moment... I have another request."

The Emperor Xuan glanced at him, "Speak."

Ning Chen leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, I want to mobilize 10,000 troops from the border."

"10,000 troops?" The Emperor Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Da Xuan has signed a ceasefire agreement with Wu State, and there is no need to station so many troops at the border."

"In this case, I allow you to mobilize 50,000 troops."

Ning Chen shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, 50,000 troops will consume too much supplies, 10,000 will be enough... These 10,000 people are a gift I prepared for Your Majesty."

"Hmm? A gift for me?"

"Your Majesty, do you remember the special forces I mentioned before?"

The Emperor Xuan nodded slightly, "I remember."

Ning Chen said, "Your Majesty, these 10,000 people are the special forces I trained. They are all elites selected from the army. They are brave and good at fighting. They are a special force."

The Emperor Xuan smiled. No matter how brave and good at fighting, there are only 10,000 people.

"Why do you say this army is a gift for me?"

Ning Chen said seriously, "Your Majesty married the Ninth Princess to me, and I have no way to repay you, so I want to defeat the army of South Vietnam to repay your Majesty."

"This army is what I prepared for South Vietnam... I also named this army, Ning'an Army."

Emperor Xuan frowned slightly, "Ning is you, An is Huai'an, what does this have to do with me?"

Ning Chen: "..."

"Every blade of grass and every tree in Daxuan belongs to your Majesty, and this army is naturally yours, how can it have nothing to do with your Majesty?"

Emperor Xuan raised his mouth slightly, and the words sounded pleasant.
