Chapter 491 I Will Go and Receive Thirty Strokes of the Cane
Ning Chen expected that the civil and military officials would obstruct him.
On the dragon case of Emperor Xuan, the memorials impeaching him were almost piled up into a mountain.
In fact, it was not important to him whether he was crowned king or not.
His power now was truly second to none.
The former left prime minister was not as powerful as he is now.
Now he just wanted to cure Emperor Xuan.
Of course, if there were people who opposed, there would be people who supported.
Li Hanru, Shen Min, Li Zhixing and others stood up and firmly supported Ning Chen's crowning as king.
Both sides insisted on their own opinions and quarreled fiercely.
"Silence!"
After receiving the signal from Emperor Xuan, Eunuch Quan's shrill voice sounded.
The ministers immediately quieted down.
Emperor Xuan suppressed his cough and said in a deep voice: "Ning Chen pacified the southern border and made great military achievements."
"The royal garden, the king's service, and my life... I promised at that time that I would make him a king when I returned to the palace."
"Your Majesty is not joking. This matter has been decided and there is no need to discuss it again."
"Ning Chen, I will allow you to ride in the palace in the future."
The ministers were even more unwilling.
Riding in the palace means that you can ride a horse in the palace.
This honor is unique in the history of the Great Xuan.
The Emperor Xuan couldn't help but cough violently again.
After a long time, he panted and said: "There is one more thing. I asked someone to calculate that five days later is a good day...Ning Chen and Huai'an's marriage will be scheduled five days later."
"I am tired. If there is anything, we will discuss it tomorrow...Let's adjourn!"
After Emperor Xuan finished speaking, he supported the dragon table and stood up with all his strength.
Eunuch Quan hurried forward to support him.
"Your Majesty... If the matter of conferring the title of king is inappropriate, please protect your order."
"Your Majesty, conferring the title of king is not good for the country, please think twice."
"Your Majesty, how can you confer the title of king before the crown prince is established... Please think about the country."
The censors knelt on the ground and asked Emperor Xuan to withdraw his order.
But Emperor Xuan had already left with the help of Eunuch Quan.
Ning Chen glanced at the censors coldly.
He knew very well that these experts were not worried about the country, but worried that their power would be too great and would affect their interests.
Ninety-five percent of the people in this court came from aristocratic families.
As the saying goes, the aristocratic families are iron-clad, but the country is changing.
What these people are most worried about is the rise of the poor, because a decision made by a powerful person can affect their interests.
Ning Chen really wanted to turn into Huang Chao and kill all these people.
But he didn't have the heart to argue with them now.
After he cured Emperor Xuan, he would slowly settle accounts with these people.
Li Hanru and others came over to congratulate Ning Chen on his title.
Ning Chen exchanged a few polite words and then left.
Because Zi Su was still waiting outside the palace.
He left the palace quickly, picked up Zi Su, and rode directly into the palace.
Riding a horse is much faster than walking.
At the door of the imperial study, the eunuch went in to report.
Ning Chen and Zi Su waited quietly.
After a while, the eunuch came out.
"My Lord, His Majesty said he is fine, please go back."
Because Ning Chen had just been crowned as a king, the news had not spread yet, and the eunuch still called him Lord.
Ning Chen was stunned.
His Majesty actually refused to see him?
There is a problem, absolutely a problem.
"Please inform me again, eunuch, and say that I have something very important to see His Majesty."
The eunuch was a little embarrassed.
Ning Chen stuffed a silver note in.
The eunuch put the silver note into his sleeve, "Thank you, My Lord... Then I will go in and report again!"
After waiting for a while, the eunuch came out.
"My Lord, His Majesty said that if there is anything important, you just need to submit a memorial."
Ning Chen thought of His Majesty's state when he went to court, and he became more worried.
Ning Chen knelt down.
"Please go in and tell the eunuch that if His Majesty doesn't see me, I will kneel down for a long time."
The little eunuch was embarrassed.
After hesitating for a long time, he decided to run another trip for Ning Chen to make a good relationship.
Who doesn't know that Ning Chen is now the most trusted and favored person by His Majesty?
In the imperial study, Emperor Xuan was pale and lying on the couch with a weak breath.
Eunuch Quan was waiting beside him.
Seeing the little eunuch coming in again, Emperor Xuan frowned slightly, "Is he unwilling to leave?"
The little eunuch knelt down and whispered, "Your Majesty, Lord Ning said that if His Majesty doesn't summon him, he will kneel down for a long time."
"Damn it, is he threatening me? Quan Sheng, go and drive him away...cough, cough cough cough...!"
Emperor Xuan coughed violently again.
Eunuch Quan fell to his knees, "Your Majesty, the Marquis is very filial, he brought Miss Zi Su with him... With his temper, he will definitely not leave until he sees Your Majesty."
"He is a rebel, he dares not listen to my words..." Emperor Xuan said angrily, but then he sighed deeply, "Let him roll in."
"Yes!"
The little eunuch hurriedly retreated.
After a while, Ning Chen came in with Zi Su.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"
Emperor Xuan raised his hand, "Get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Ning Chen stood up and pulled Zi Su up.
Emperor Xuan stared at Ning Chen, "You are so bold now, you don't listen to my words, you are disobeying my order, aren't you afraid of losing your head?"
Ning Chen looked obedient, "Your Majesty, don't scare me, I am timid."
Emperor Xuan was so angry that he laughed, "You even dare to disobey my order, I think you are so bold."
"I am guilty! Your Majesty, let Zisu check you out... When you are well, you can punish me how you want."
Emperor Xuan waved his hand, "No, I'm fine!"
"Your Majesty, would you like Zisu to check you out? It won't take long."
Emperor Xuan said with a straight face, "I told you, it's really fine, no need to check."
Ning Chen smiled like a dog, "Your Majesty, I'll be relieved once you check me... If your Majesty is really fine, I'll get out immediately."
Emperor Xuan stared at him expressionlessly, "Ning Chen, don't be arrogant because of your favor. You really think that I can't bear to deal with you, right? How dare you disobey me again and again."
"If you don't get out of here, I'll reward you with thirty bucks, no joke!"
Ning Chen knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty asked Zi Su to check. I am willing to be punished."
"You..." Emperor Xuan stared at him and sighed helplessly after a while.
Ning Chen knew that Emperor Xuan agreed.
He hurriedly asked Zisu to come forward to check Emperor Xuan.
"Your Majesty, the daughter of the people has offended me!"
Following the inspection, Zisu's face became very solemn.
Just as Zisu was about to speak, Emperor Xuan shook his head slightly at her.
Ning Chen didn't see Emperor Xuan's move because Zi Su was blocking him.
Emperor Xuan smiled and said, "Miss Zisu, am I okay?"
Zisu hesitated for a while, then hummed softly and said: "Your Majesty is just a little tired. You will be fine after you rest for a while!"
Emperor Xuan showed a smile on his face and looked at Ning Chen, "Are you relieved now?"
Ning Chen's face was filled with joy, it was joy from the bottom of his heart.
"As long as your Majesty is fine... I will go and get the thirty pieces of bread right now."
Ning Chen turned around and walked outside.
Emperor Xuan said hurriedly: "Okay, I will spare you this time... If you dare to disobey me next time, I will never forgive you lightly."
Ning Chen bowed his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness!"
