Chapter 443: I Am Lucky to Have Ning Chen
The corner of Emperor Xuan's mouth twitched, "You went to blackmail them?"
Ning Chen: "..."
"Your Majesty, the word blackmail is not accurate. They forced it on me."
Emperor Xuan snorted. Doesn't he know Ning Chen?
I guess those spineless people who advocate peace were disgusted by Ning Chen this time.
Ning Chen smiled flatteringly, "Your Majesty, I have already thought about how to spend this money for you?"
The Emperor Xuan's expression froze, "Have you thought about it for me?"
Ning Chen hurriedly said, "No, no... I am just suggesting."
The Emperor Xuan said, "Tell me about it."
"Your Majesty, these are all the people's hard-earned money. As the saying goes, take from the people and use it for the people... I want to build a nursery in your name to take in those homeless children."
"I will ask the teacher to teach those children to read and write. When those children grow up in the future, they will definitely be grateful for your majesty's kindness, serve the country, and share your worries."
"Also... Zi Su has always wanted to open a clinic to treat the poor. I would like to ask your majesty to give a plaque so that the people can see your majesty's benevolence."
The Emperor Xuan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
These are all benevolent actions.
Ning Chen did this to make him famous as an emperor.
These benevolent actions will make him more loved by the people of the world.
Emperor Xuan nodded slightly, "I agree!"
"This silver will be handed over to you. You will be fully responsible for the establishment of the nursery."
Ning Chen leaned over, "Minister, obey your order!"
"Your Majesty, I have another gift to present to Your Majesty."
Emperor Xuan looked at him and smiled, "What gift?"
Ning Chen took out a folded paper from his arms.
Emperor Xuan waved his hand, "Present it yourself."
Ning Chen said "oh", stepped forward and handed the paper to Emperor Xuan.
Emperor Xuan took it, opened it and saw that his eyes shrank sharply.
On this paper, there is a poem:
The tiger is the king of all beasts, no one dares to offend its anger.
Only the father-son relationship, looking back at every step.
Emperor Xuan looked at this poem, his eyes slightly red.
Ning Chen's poem directly touched the softest part of his heart.
Sure enough, only Ning Chen really cared about him as the emperor.
The prince is still imprisoned in the prison of the Supervisory Department.
That was the prince he had carefully taught and cultivated for more than ten years. Although he made mistakes, he was his child after all.
He had beheaded Prince Fu and the Queen, and only the prince was imprisoned until now.
How cruel it was to let him kill his own child with his own hands?
Couldn't the civil and military officials see that he didn't want to kill the prince?
They must have seen it, but up to now, no one said a word for the deposed prince.
He was in a dilemma. He couldn't just release the prince and pretend that nothing had happened, right?
He wanted to use Ning Chen and Huai'an's wedding to grant amnesty to the world and pardon the prince.
But he knew that even so, the court officials would definitely oppose it.
Emperor Xuan looked at Ning Chen, "Do you have any ideas?"
Ning Chen nodded slightly.
"Your Majesty is a wise ruler and an emperor, but he is also a father... I can't bear to see your Majesty worried."
"I proposed to let those adults' children marry, and they wailed... I believe they should now feel the same and understand your Majesty's pain."
"If they want to save their own children, they must understand your Majesty and share your worries."
Emperor Xuan was refreshed.
Yes! If they want to save their own children, they must first save my children.
He looked at Ning Chen with a face full of relief, "Is this your ultimate goal?"
Ning Chen leaned over and said seriously: "Your Majesty has been kind to me, and everything I have is given by your Majesty... So, in everything, I should put your Majesty first."
"Stinky boy..."
Emperor Xuan said with a smile, and this word "stinky boy" was full of too many emotions.
Ning Chen smiled like a fool. He turned his head and looked at Eunuch Quan. "Eunuch Quan, those strong men will definitely come to ask Your Majesty to take back the order every day in the next few days."
"I'm afraid they can't think so deeply, or they think of it but are unwilling to do it... So, Eunuch Quan needs to remind them."
Eunuch Quan is also a smart man. He nodded and said, "I am willing."
"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first... After this matter is settled, I should go south to help Your Majesty teach those dogs in Nanyue a lesson."
Emperor Xuan was relieved, "Go! Have a good rest these days."
"I'll take my leave!"
After Ning Chen left, Emperor Xuan looked at the poem and said with relief: "It's still this stinky boy who understands my mind... I'm lucky to have Ning Chen."
Eunuch Quan secretly complained in his heart that it was because this person was Ning Chen... If someone else dared to do this, it would be guessing the emperor's intentions, with bad intentions, and committing a serious crime.
"Your Majesty favors the Marquis, so the Marquis is naturally loyal to Your Majesty, and everything is based on Your Majesty."
Emperor Xuan couldn't help laughing.
......
Sure enough, that afternoon, the officials of the peace faction came and knelt at the door of the imperial study, asking His Majesty to withdraw his order.
But Emperor Xuan did not summon them.
At the morning court the next day, they again begged His Majesty to withdraw his order.
But Emperor Xuan still ignored them.
After the court, these people came to the door of the imperial study to plead.
It was not until the afternoon that Eunuch Quan came out of the imperial study and said in surprise: "Why are you all still kneeling here? Didn't His Majesty ask you to go back?"
Fan Taihe pleaded: "Eunuch Quan, please tell us to see His Majesty?"
Eunuch Quan looked embarrassed.
"We have informed the emperor several times, but His Majesty just doesn't want to see you."
As he said this, he sighed deeply, "In fact, His Majesty has been in a bad mood these days... For the sake of their children, you gentlemen come to ask His Majesty to withdraw your order."
"But His Majesty is also a father. His Majesty loves the Ninth Princess the most. Now that the Ninth Princess is going to marry far away, His Majesty is in a bad mood."
"What you are doing will only make His Majesty more annoyed and will not solve the problem at all."
Fan Taihe's eyes flashed slightly, and he stood up and walked to Eunuch Quan, quietly stuffed a silver note in, then bowed and bowed, with a very low posture, and said:
"We are stupid, please give us some advice, so that we know what to do?"
Eunuch Quan was embarrassed, "Sir Fan, isn't this embarrassing for me? It is a serious crime to guess the emperor's intentions."
Fan Taihe hurriedly said: "Eunuch Quan's great kindness, we will never forget it, please give us some advice."
Eunuch Quan took the silver and swept it into his sleeves.
Fan Taihe's eyes lit up. He was not afraid that Eunuch Quan would accept the money, but that he would not.
Eunuch Quan hesitated for a while and said, "How pitiful are the parents in the world! I recently got a poem. You gentlemen are knowledgeable and talented. Why don't you appreciate it together?"
Fan Taihe was stunned, and then immediately realized that this poem might have a lot of meaning.
"Eunuch Quan, please!"
Eunuch Quan cleared his throat and said, "The tiger is the king of all beasts, and no one dares to offend its anger. Only the father-son relationship looks back at every step."
The officials' eyes flickered.
The meaning of this poem is simple and clear, and the direction is also very clear.
They understood it immediately.
Fan Taihe bowed and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Eunuch Quan."
Eunuch Quan waved his hand hurriedly, "I didn't say anything. I still have important things to do at home, so I'll leave first! The ground is cold, please go back, gentlemen."
