The Return of the Demon

Chapter 547 The Ninth Princess Offers Advice

Emperor Xuan looked at the ministers in front of him and said in a deep voice: "My dear ministers, do you have any good ideas?"

Li Hanru and others looked at each other.

"Your Majesty, you can send troops to attack!"

The Minister of Rites Feng Gaojie said subconsciously.

He is now the acting Minister of Rites.

In fact, as long as the wedding of Ning Chen and the Ninth Princess is done well, he can take the position of Minister of Rites.

But who knows that Ning Chen has an accident, the wedding did not take place, and he became the acting Minister of Rites.

But it is only a matter of time before he becomes the real Minister of Rites. Although His Majesty did not kill Shen Min, he also banished him from the capital.

The others looked at Feng Gaojie with strange eyes.

Emperor Xuan also looked at him, "Then who do you think is suitable as the commander-in-chief, Lord Feng?"

"This..." Feng Gaojie hesitated for a long time, and suddenly thought of a suitable candidate, "Your Majesty, I think Yuan Long can be the commander-in-chief, and let him lead people to Xiangzhou to quell the rebellion."

Emperor Xuan thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "A commander should be brave and resourceful. Yuan Long is indeed a fierce general, but he is more brave than resourceful."

This means that Yuan Long can be a general, but not a commander-in-chief.

Feng Gaojie froze, then he didn't know who to recommend?

"Lord Feng, think about it again... There are so many talents in my Great Xuan, I don't believe that I can't choose a brave and resourceful person."

Feng Gaojie began to think hard.

Emperor Xuan looked at the others, "Do you have anyone to recommend?"

Li Hanru and others remained silent.

They understood Emperor Xuan's thoughts.

But they just didn't say the name of that person.

Because this is too ridiculous. If the biological father of the prince of Wu State becomes the commander of Daxuan, it is equivalent to a woman marrying two husbands.

Whoever dares to mention that name, those censors will not stop until his ancestral graves are smoking!

Emperor Xuan looked very unhappy, "You are all my right-hand men and left-hand men. Now that King Rui has established himself as emperor on the land of Daxuan, you have no face to speak of, right?"

"Therefore, the selection of the commander is very important. As long as we take action, we must completely destroy King Rui. This battle must be fought beautifully."

"This matter is very important. My dear ministers, think about it carefully."

......

Lingzhou, Yixiao Tower.

When Ning Chen first came to Lingzhou, his first stop was Yixiao Tower.

"This table is not cheap, right? Lord Jiang spent a lot."

Looking at the delicious food on the table, Ning Chen couldn't help but joke.

Jiang Zhengyang waved his hand, "This meal didn't cost a penny. It was all prepared by the owner of Yixiaolou."

"He knew you were here, and he refused to accept the money no matter what."

"When Zhang Yuancang and others were involved, Yixiaolou should have been closed down. It was you who saved Yixiaolou... The owner is very grateful to you."

"You are now a commoner, without an official position, so this is not considered bribery."

Ning Chen joked, "I came to your territory, so you didn't spend a penny, and you used my name to get a good meal?"

Jiang Zhengyang laughed dryly, "With my salary, I can't eat many meals in Yixiaolou... Since it's free, why not let me get a meal?"

Ning Chen laughed, "Tomorrow Hu Ji sandwich, you treat me!"

"No problem, I'll treat you tomorrow!"

Jiang Zhengyang agreed immediately. How much money can a sandwich cost?

Ning Chen was toasting and drinking.

The Emperor Xuan, who was far away in the capital, was almost angry to death.

He just drove Li Hanru and others away.

"Don't these bastards understand what I mean?"

In fact, Li Hanru and others understood it in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it.

Whoever dared to say that name would be scolded.

Besides, this is indeed inappropriate, not in terms of emotion or reason.

Eunuch Quan lowered his head and dared not speak.

Emperor Xuan was anxious and angry, and he was also anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

At this time, a little eunuch came in and knelt down, "Your Majesty, the Ninth Princess wants to see you!"

Emperor Xuan was stunned for a moment, "Let her in!"

"Yes!"

The little eunuch retreated.

After a while, the beautiful Ninth Princess in a red dress came in with a food box.

"Your son pays homage to your father!"

"Why is Huai'an here?"

"Your son heard that your father was angry, so he made a bowl of ice jelly lotus seed soup."

The Ninth Princess stepped forward, opened the food box, and took out the ice jelly lotus seed soup.

Emperor Xuan drank two sips and nodded repeatedly, "Huaian is thoughtful!"

He has been anxious and angry recently, and his mouth feels bitter. This ice jelly lotus seed soup is cool, sour and sweet, which suits his appetite very well.

"Father, you are so anxious because of Xiangzhou, right?"

Emperor Xuan smiled and said, "Women in the harem cannot participate in politics. Huai'an doesn't have to worry about national affairs."

"Well, then! Originally, I have a good plan to offer to you... Since you don't appreciate it, forget it!"

Emperor Xuan laughed, "I and several ministers in the court have no good plan, what good plan can you have?"

Princess Jiu wrinkled her nose, "Father, don't look down on me. What if I can solve your current troubles?"

Emperor Xuan smiled and said, "If you can solve it, I will give you whatever you want?"

"But father just said that women in the harem cannot participate in politics."

"You little smart guy, are you waiting for me here? Come on, I allow you to participate in this matter, tell me what good plan you have?"

Princess Jiu put her hands behind her back, as proud as a hen, and said proudly, "Father, do you still remember Jingguo?"

Emperor Xuan thought for a while and nodded slightly, "I have some impression. It was a small country around the time of Emperor Taizu. It has been destroyed now."

The Ninth Princess said: "Emperor Taizu established Daxuan, and the surrounding countries surrendered one after another."

"Although the King of Jing was a woman at that time, she was brave and good at fighting, and repeatedly violated the border of Daxuan...Emperor Taizu sent General Li Kai to lead troops to attack, and the King of Jing led the army in person, and fought with Daxuan."

"Later, Li Kai actually fell in love with the King of Jing. Jing was willing to stop fighting and surrender, but the condition was to take Li Kai away."

"Li Kai was loyal. Although he was attached to the King of Jing, he would rather die than leave Daxuan."

"Emperor Taizu cared about the people at that time and did not want to start a war again. He came up with a plan and built a city on the border between Daxuan and Jing, named Xuanjing City, sent Li Kai to guard it, and named him the Prince of Peace."

"So far, Daxuan and Jing were of the same blood and lived in peace for decades, until Jing was in constant civil war and then destroyed."

Emperor Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Eunuch Quan also showed a happy expression.

Emperor Xuan said: "I know about Jingguo, but why have I never heard of the story of the King of Jingguo and General Li Kai?"

Princess Jiu smiled and said: "Father is busy with all kinds of affairs, it is normal that he doesn't know... Anyway, all this can be verified in history."

Emperor Xuan was very happy.

Since Emperor Taizu could do this, he could do it too... and it can be verified in history, so the civil and military officials have nothing to say.

"That's great... Huai'an, you have helped father a lot this time, father must reward you well!"

"By the way, is it official history?"

Princess Jiu suddenly wilted and laughed dryly: "I saw it in a book of unofficial history."

Emperor Xuan's mouth twitched fiercely.
