Chapter 511: Treating People Like Dogs
Ning Chen returned to the room and told Yudie about Xiao Xing and Gu Yichun.
Xiaoxing and she were like sisters. If they could get married and have children, she would be very happy for Xiaoxing.
Ning Chen said: "Then I'll leave this matter to you!"
Yudie snorted slightly!
That night was another night of giving and receiving.
The next morning, Ning Chen rode his beloved Diao Chan to the Ministry of War.
"See you, my lord!"
Ning Chen waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, how did you tell me about the things you did?"
Ji Mingchen bowed his head and said, "My lord, please forgive me. I sent people to measure all the mountains around the capital, but they are not high enough."
"The key is that the wind direction has been elusive recently, and we can't predict the wind direction at all... Just as it was southerly this morning, it will already be westerly."
Ning Chen was a little disappointed.
The gift he prepared for Emperor Xuan could not be delivered.
He originally wanted to load explosive bombs and use artillery to blast the clouds and stop the rain.
But the range of the artillery was simply not enough.
There are too many uncertain factors, such as the wind direction and the weather on Emperor Xuan's birthday. It would be embarrassing if it was a sunny day.
It seems like this guy can't pretend anymore.
He originally thought that when the time came, he would bring those Yan Guan who had never been on the battlefield or seen a gun to watch closely... By then, he would definitely frighten several of them to the point of paralysis.
He also designed a series of programs to show the saints in front of people, but they are no longer used now.
Ning Chen rubbed his brows helplessly.
Now it’s time to worry about what gift to give Emperor Xuan?
"Lord Ji, it's His Majesty's birthday, what kind of gift have you given me?"
Ji Mingchen smiled and said: "A piece of longevity carved from Shoushan stone."
Ning Chen shook his head, there was nothing new in this...the gifts were all gold, silver, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings.
Ji Mingchen looked at Ning Chen and hesitated for a moment, then said: "Your Majesty, there have been some unfavorable rumors about you in the capital recently."
Ning Chen glanced at him, "Are you talking about the crown dragon?"
Ji Mingchen was startled for a moment, "Have you heard about it, Your Majesty?"
Ning Chen said yes!
"What's your plan, Your Majesty?"
Ning Chen shook his head, "No! But they are right. I am indeed powerful now and my achievements are so great that I can shock the Lord."
"That means His Majesty is merciful, otherwise I would have died eight hundred times if it were any other emperor!"
Ji Mingchen's face turned pale with fright. Can he say such things casually as he is a master of great achievements? Others say forget it, but if you say it yourself, it will easily lead to disaster.
"Your Majesty, please be careful. You must never say such words again."
Ning Chen smiled, he had said this before Emperor Xuan.
"It would be too fanciful to think that you could overthrow me with a poem!"
Ning Chen said with a sneer.
It's not that he looks down on those people, even if he has no official position now, he is still powerful.
These idiots really think that if they defeat themselves, they can sit back and relax?
In fact, the most important thing is Emperor Xuan. As long as Emperor Xuan is here, they can live well.
If Emperor Xuan is not here, Daxuan is no longer worthy of his loyalty.
At that time, without him Ning Chen, Daxuan would have to be eaten by the surrounding countries.
Unfortunately, those idiots can't see this.
Ning Chen gathered his thoughts and said, "Master Ji, please lend me a pen and paper."
Ning Chen has thought about what to give to Emperor Xuan?
He took up painting and drew a bunch of strange things.
Then, he handed it to Ji Mingchen, "Master Ji, have these things ready and delivered to my house within three days."
Ji Mingchen looked at it for a long time and asked, "What is this? Is it another powerful firearm?"
Ning Chen shook his head, "It's not a firearm, it's just a gadget!"
...
After coming out of the Ministry of War, Ning Chen rode Diao Chan towards the Supervision Department.
Suddenly, Ning Chen's eyes shrank.
In the big house in front, a person suddenly ran out.
This man was dressed in ragged clothes. He did not walk upright, but crawled on the ground, using his hands and feet.
There was an iron chain tied around his neck.
At this time, a man in well-dressed clothes rushed out from the gate, grabbed the other end of the chain, and dragged the man crawling back on the ground.
This is treating people like dogs.
"stop!"
Ning Chen shouted and stepped forward on horseback.
The man in the smart suit grabbed the chain and turned to look at Ning Chen, who was riding a tall horse, and his expression changed slightly.
He didn't know Ning Chen, but Diao Chan was tall and handsome, like a war horse.
There are not many people who dare to ride a war horse around in the capital.
When he got close, Ning Chen reined in his horse.
He was about to ask a question when his eyes suddenly fell on the plaque above the door.
Right Prime Minister's Mansion!
His Majesty felt that he was about to die at that time. On his deathbed, he asked an orphan to reinstate the former Taiwei Zong Sibai and appointed him as the right minister.
This Zong Sibai is quite perverted, treating people like dogs.
The well-dressed man looked at Ning Chen and asked tentatively: "Who is this sir?"
"Ning Chen."
The man's expression suddenly changed, and he leaned over hastily, "I see you, my lord!"
Ning Chen frowned, pointed at the man crawling on the ground, and asked, "Explain it!"
The man said in fear: "This...this is what the prime minister means."
"Your prime minister is having a very perverted way of playing."
The man lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
"Is your prime minister at home?"
"exist!"
Ning Chen got off his horse and said, "Take me to see him."
The man didn't dare to say anything. The man in front of him was the famous king of the town.
"Your Majesty, please!"
Enter the Prime Minister's Mansion and come to the main hall.
The man asked people to serve tea quickly.
"Wait a moment, Your Majesty, I have already sent someone to invite the Prime Minister."
Ning Chen hummed.
After a while, footsteps sounded.
Zong Sibai, dressed in brocade and with an extraordinary demeanor, appeared.
Ning Chen had seen Zong Sibai in front of the Yangxin Palace, but the situation was a bit complicated at the time, so he didn't say hello... and he didn't know Zong Sibai at the time, let alone that he had been appointed as the right prime minister.
Zong Sibai leaned forward slightly, "Meet the prince!"
Ning Chen nodded slightly.
"This prince was not in the capital some time ago. After returning, he has been recovering from his injuries. I haven't had time to visit you. Congratulations to Mr. Zong on his promotion to the position of right prime minister."
"Your Highness, you are joking. It should be me who visits you... I am not polite."
The two exchanged a few polite words, and Ning Chen changed the subject, "This prince just passed by the prime minister's mansion and found something interesting!"
Zong Sibai smiled and said, "Your Highness, are you talking about treating people as dogs?"
Ning Chen nodded.
Zong Sibai said, "To be honest, there were thirteen dogs like this in the mansion, but now there are only six left."
Ning Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at him.
Zong Sibai's eyes gradually became sinister, "Your Highness, have you heard about my demotion a few years ago?"
Ning Chen nodded slightly.
Zong Sibai waved his hand and asked the waiters to go down.
He and Ning Chen were the only ones left in the main hall.
Zong Sibai suddenly bowed deeply to Ning Chen.
Ning Chen looked surprised, "What do you mean?"
Zong Sibai sighed deeply and said slowly:
"Back then, I was demoted because of my political disagreement with the left prime minister... Once demoted, people are worse than dogs."
"On the way back home, I encountered robbers...My money was robbed, my parents' spirit tablets were trampled, my wife committed suicide because she could not bear the humiliation, and my son was forced to crawl on the ground like a dog. I was forced to kneel down and barely saved my son's life."
