Chapter 712: Diplomatic Mission to Gaoli Kingdom

Emperor Xuan was originally in a good mood, but now his face was as gloomy as water, and he watched the censors jumping up and down to attack Ning Chen with cold eyes.

The reason was that he had just received news that Ning Chen had attacked Gao'an City.

After Emperor Xuan received Ning Chen's letter for help, he immediately wrote a letter to the king of Gaoli State, asking Gaoli State to let Gao'an City lend a hand to Qingzhou.

As a result, he did not wait for the reply from the king of Gaoli State, but waited for the news that Ning Chen had pressed Gao'an City to the ground.

The reason why the censors attacked Ning Chen was that Ning Chen privately mobilized troops against Gaoli State and provoked a war.

As the Grand Marshal of the Great Xuan Army, Ning Chen had the right to mobilize troops.

But he did not have the right to mobilize troops against other countries at will.

Generally, mobilizing troops against other countries must be discussed by ministers, and Emperor Xuan nodded.

Ning Chen's private mobilization of troops against other countries was not only an usurpation, but also simply lawlessness.

"Your Majesty, Ning Chen is arrogant because of his favor. He launched an attack on Gaoli Kingdom without reason and provoked a war. Please punish him severely."

"Your Majesty, Gaoli Kingdom and Daxuan have always kept to themselves. Now Ning Chen has provoked a war privately. Qingzhou borders Gaoli Kingdom. If Gaoli Kingdom retaliates in the future, the people of Qingzhou will suffer."

"Your Majesty, Ning Chen attacked Gao'an City, which forced Gaoli Kingdom and Nanyue to form an alliance... If the two countries join forces, they will be a powerful enemy of Daxuan and threaten Daxuan's country. Ning Chen should be severely punished."

The censors were indignant and spitting.

Li Hanru stepped out and said coldly: "Confucianism... Qingzhou suffered a great disaster, the people were starving and cold, and the people were living in misery. The prince was ordered to provide disaster relief and attack Gao'an City to save the people of Qingzhou. What's wrong with that?

You dare to go to Qingzhou City and say these words in front of the people of Qingzhou to see how the people react?"

If you dare to say this kind of nonsense in front of the people, it would be strange if the people of Qingzhou didn't tear them to pieces.

Now in the hearts of the people of Qingzhou, Ning Chen is a living Bodhisattva who saves the suffering.

Li Zhixing stepped out of the line and said in a deep voice: "You gentlemen are just worried about Gaoliguo's revenge, but don't forget who the prince is? He is my Great Xuan God of War, a victorious general who has won every battle.

Since the prince dared to attack Gao'an City, he has the ability to prevent them from retaliating... Gaoliguo's national strength is slightly inferior to Xiliang. Xiliangguo was beaten by the prince and surrendered. How dare Gaoliguo dare to act rashly?"

Ji Mingchen approached and stepped out of the line, angrily saying: "You people are talking without any pain in your waist. The people of Qingzhou are starving and cold, and countless deaths and injuries have occurred. The prince saved the people of Qingzhou from fire and water and made contributions to the court... You poor and corrupt scholars are actually holding on to the prince's small mistakes. It's simply... simply a group of experts."

Ji Mingchen didn't know what experts meant?

But he heard Ning Chen say it more than once. It must be a curse word, and it was a very dirty curse.

The court was arguing fiercely, but Ning Chen, who was far away in Qingzhou, was snoring.

After running around all night, he was seriously sleep deprived.

It was already noon when Ning Chen woke up, and the quarrel in the court of the capital had come to an end.

Ning Chen was indeed wrong to mobilize troops against other countries without permission.

Emperor Xuan also said that Ning Chen was wrong, and the punishment for Ning Chen was that he would be punished severely after he returned to the capital.

After the court was dismissed, Eunuch Quan and a group of imperial guards stopped the censors.

"Your Majesty has ordered that there are not enough people in the palace, so you adults are asked to clean the snow in front of the Jinluan Palace."

The censors were all dumbfounded.

The area in front of the Jinluan Palace is not ordinary big, and it just snowed last night. When will it be cleaned up?

"Come here, give the tools to you adults."

Looking at the censors with sad faces, Eunuch Quan almost laughed like a pig... Damn it, let you attack Ning Chen with your mouth.

At this time, Ning Chen, who was far away in Qingzhou, had already got up.

The situation in Qingzhou has now stabilized.

With the supplies sent by Jin Dongxing, it is not a problem for the people to survive this cold winter.

Now all that is left is to repair the house.

I heard that a large amount of wood is on the way.

Zhangzhou merchants heard that Qingzhou was short of wood and the price of wood had risen dozens of times. They felt that the opportunity to make a fortune had come, so they transported wood and swarmed towards Qingzhou.

Ning Chen told Liang Anzhi to post a notice to inform the whole city... The wood transported was purchased by the government, and the people were not allowed to buy it privately.

When there is enough wood, the price will be directly reduced to the lowest... Then the people can buy it.

If those merchants are unwilling, they can either transport the wood back or pay storage tax.

What is storage tax? It means that as long as the wood is in Qingzhou, silver must be paid every day.

It is impossible to transport it back, and it will be a loss.

But it is not possible to keep it in hand, and taxes must be paid, which is even more loss.

Therefore, merchants have to sell at the lowest price, and they have to sell it as soon as possible, otherwise they have to pay taxes every day.

Liang Anzhi was dumbfounded after hearing this.

This trick is too damaging.

He felt that if Ning Chen did business, he would definitely be the biggest profiteer.

Little did they know that Ning Chen was now the biggest profiteer in Daxuan, and his various businesses were booming.

Since he took over the business of the fake Prince Duan, he made a fortune every day.

Ning Chen himself didn't know how much silver he had... because he was not interested in money now.

After arranging everything, Ning Chen left Qingzhou.

He was going to the capital of Gaoli Kingdom to smash Kang Luo's wishful thinking.

The carriage moved slowly along the snowy road.

Because Zi Su was a weak woman, Ning Chen prepared a carriage.

Tan Tai Qingyue was also a woman, but she was not weak at all... and she was not his woman, so she could drink the wind outside.

Pan Yucheng drove the car.

Feng Qizhen, Chen Chong and others, as well as more than 30 Ning'an soldiers accompanied them.

Ning Chen brought so many people with him.

When he arrived at Gaoli Kingdom, Gaoli Kingdom would be responsible for his safety.

If something happened to him, the cavalry of Daxuan would not stop until Gaoli Kingdom was flattened!

After meeting Jin Dongxing at the border, he set off immediately without staying for long.

......

Ten days later, Ning Chen and others arrived at the capital of Gaoli Kingdom.

After all, it is the capital. Although it is not as prosperous as the capital of Daxuan, it is not bad.

Jin Dongxing said: "Please let the prince stay in my house temporarily."

Ning Chen was about to nod, and suddenly asked: "Kang Luo should be here, right?"

Jin Dongxing nodded.

"Where does Kang Luo live?"

Jin Dongxing thought for a while and said: "He came as an envoy, so he should live in the welcoming building!"

The welcoming building is equivalent to the Four Barbarians Pavilion of Daxuan, which is a place specially for entertaining envoys.

Ning Chen smiled and said, "Then I will live in the Yingbin Building too."

"That's too unfair to Your Highness. The conditions in the Yingbin Building are far inferior to my house."

"It's okay... Kang Luo and I are old acquaintances. It's just right for us to live together and reminisce about the past."

Jin Dongxing nodded, "Then it's unfair to Your Highness!"

The group came to the Yingbin Building, which was a large round courtyard.

Ning Chen took Zi Su's hand and walked into the courtyard. At a glance, he saw a lot of guards in front of the house on the east side. From their clothes, it can be seen that they are from Nanyue.

Perhaps he heard the movement in the courtyard, Kang Luo opened the door and walked out.

When he saw Ning Chen, he stood there in a daze.
