Chapter 595 Is This Child Yours?
The Hall of Nourishing Heart!
"My lord, see your majesty!"
Emperor Xuan sat behind the dragon case and looked at Ning Chen with a displeased look on his face, "Why, are you wronged by my father?"
"Uh... Your Majesty, forgive me, I'm used to it!"
"My son, please see your father!"
Ning Chen wisely visited the temple again.
Only then did a smile appear on Emperor Xuan's face.
Immediately, he picked up the two memorials and handed them to Quan Sheng, "Give them to Ning Chen."
Eunuch Quan forwarded the memorial to Ning Chen.
Ning Chen opened the first memorial, which turned out to be a peace treaty letter from the Showa Kingdom.
Showa was short of supplies, so Emperor Xuan allowed Showa to do business with the cities in the east, which was considered trade.
But this time when Ning Chen came back from the East, he issued an order prohibiting the people of Showa from setting foot on the land of Daxuan.
As a result, dozens of ships' cargo was stranded at sea. Most of these materials were seafood, and they all rotted on the ship, causing heavy losses.
The king of Showa wrote a letter asking for peace, hoping that Daxuan could open up trade routes, and Showa was willing to serve Daxuan as its leader.
Ning Chen snorted coldly, and then opened the second memorial.
This is a memorial from Beilinguan. It is said that the Great Khan of the Tuoluo Kingdom, also the king of the Tuoluo Kingdom, has integrated the six tribes of the Tuoluo Kingdom and added 150,000 troops in the past year.
He also has frequent contact with Xiliang and has great intentions of forming an alliance.
Seeing Ning Chen closing the memorial, Emperor Xuan asked, "What do you think?"
Ning Chen leaned over and said: "Your Majesty... uh, father, don't pay attention to the Showa Kingdom. There are problems with the people in this country. The strong will be thieves and bandits, and the weak will be humble."
"They now need Daxuan to develop their economy. Once they become strong, they will be my Daxuan's worst enemy... Let these inferior breeds of people stay at sea to fend for themselves."
"It's best to exterminate them... if they are left alone, they will become a big problem!"
"This time they joined forces with the old thief King Rui, and now they still have the nerve to sue for peace... This shows that their shame is thicker than the city wall."
Emperor Xuan thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
"We can ignore the Showa Kingdom for the time being. Fighting across the sea is not what our Daxuan soldiers are good at, and it is too expensive."
"The Tuoluo Kingdom and the Xiliang Kingdom have to defend themselves. There are many small countries around them. Once they gather their forces and attack Daxuan, it will be a fierce battle."
Ning Chen nodded slightly, "My father even said that if Tuoluo Kingdom and Xiliang join forces to fight against Daxuan... then South Vietnam will definitely not be idle."
Emperor Xuan asked: "What do you think should be done?"
Ning Chen thought for a moment and said: "Take the initiative and place the battlefield on Tuoluo Kingdom or Xiliang Kingdom. We must not let the war spread to Daxuan."
Emperor Xuan frowned slightly, "You mean to initiate a war?"
Ning Chen nodded slightly. He knew that Emperor Xuan was not an emperor who liked war.
"Father, you can make a decree. In previous years, the Tuoluo Kingdom paid tribute during the autumn harvest season...this year it will be brought forward. Let them pay tribute as soon as spring begins to see their attitude."
"If Tuoluo Kingdom refuses, it means they have other ideas."
"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Tuoluo Kingdom and Xiliang can form an alliance, and I, Daxuan, are not without allies... Tuoluo Kingdom is the common enemy of Daxuan and Wu Kingdom."
Emperor Xuan nodded slightly, "Okay, it's up to you, I will issue an order immediately!"
After saying that, Emperor Xuan changed the subject, "Ning Chen, how is Huai'an doing lately?"
Ning Chen smiled and said: "Very good!"
Emperor Xuan said: "Just good news is not enough. When will I hear the good news?"
Ning Chen: "..."
"Father, it has only been more than ten days since the princess and I got married. How could it be so fast?"
Emperor Xuan snorted coldly, "Then how come you and the Empress of Wu Kingdom got together at once?"
Ning Chen was speechless.
Emperor Xuan hesitated for a moment and said: "Ning Chen, Yudie and Zisu have been following you for a long time, right? Their stomachs have been silent. Why did you and the Empress of Wu Kingdom have sex all at once...you have no doubts Is this child yours?"
Ning Chen had a black line on his forehead.
"I'm sure, Erchen, that child belongs to Erchen."
"The empress and her son were in perfect condition when they were together, and it wasn't just once that the son was drugged. Who knows how many times she had it?"
"The Empress of Wu Kingdom is a very proud person. Even people like the Regent of Wu Kingdom cannot fall in her eyes, let alone other men."
"Also, I have seen that child. Although he is young and can't tell whether he looks like me, you can feel the connection between father and son... In short, that child is my son."
Ning Chen paused and continued: "Zisu and Yudie's stomachs have been quiet because they have been taking medicine... The wife has not come in. If I give birth to the child first, I will be criticized."
"Moreover, they are not very young, so they are not in a hurry about their children."
Emperor Xuan nodded slightly, this reason made sense.
"Then how hard should you and Huai'an work!"
"Uh... I obey your orders!"
In fact, he discussed it with Princess Ninth. Princess Ninth didn't want to have a child now at all. She was still a child herself.
Emperor Xuan nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "By the way, it will be Spring Palace in one month... It is your first time to host Spring Palace. If you don't understand anything, you can ask Li Hanru and the others."
"I have decreed that they will fully assist you!"
Ning Chen leaned over and said, "My son, I obey your order!"
...
Coming out of the palace, Ning Chen clattered forward on Diao Chan.
Spring is coming soon, and students from all over the world have begun to come to Beijing one after another.
Along the way, Ning Chen saw many students, young and old, all full of ambition.
Ning Chen returned home.
Gu Yichun came to report that the left prime minister and the Minister of Rites Feng Gaojie had arrived.
Ning Chen came to the front hall.
"Meet the prince!"
Ning Chen returned the greeting and said, "Sit down!"
After sitting down, Li Hanru got straight to the point, "Prince, His Majesty ordered us to assist you in presiding over the Spring Examination... The chief examiner must be selected in advance, and then His Majesty will decide."
Ning Chen said, "Do you have any recommendations? I don't look at official positions, talent... The most important thing is character and disposition."
Li Hanru said, "I have a list here, Your Majesty, please take a look first."
Ning Chen took it and took a look, feeling dizzy.
"So many people?"
Wow, there are hundreds of names on it.
Feng Gaojie said: "Your Highness, this is just a list of candidates. You are the chief examiner, and you will determine the specific personnel."
Ning Chen asked curiously: "How many people were needed for the Spring Examination in the past?"
Feng Gaojie said: "Your Highness is the chief examiner, and I will be the 18 co-examiners... In addition, we need supervisors, examiners, supervisors, and examiners, about 200 to 300 people."
"But it depends on the number of candidates. The number of candidates has not been counted yet... I suggest that Your Highness can prepare more people, just in case, in case there is not enough manpower at that time."
Ning Chen's scalp tingled, he didn't expect it to be so troublesome.
Feng Gaojie said: "The chief examiner and co-examiners are all appointed by His Majesty... If Your Highness finds it troublesome, you can leave it to me."
Ning Chen thought for a while and nodded slightly...Except for the chief examiner and co-examiner, the others are not important, and it's okay to leave it to Feng Gaojie.
