Chapter 802 I'm Just Preparing for a Rainy Day
Ning Chen looked at the new emperor, shook his head, and said, "Xie Siyu, your majesty has seen him in my house.
Lin Ying is Chen Chong's wife, your majesty has also seen him in my house."
The new emperor gently rotated the jade ring on his hand and asked in a deep voice, "So, they were really sent by you to assassinate me?"
Ning Chen shook his head, "No, they just stood up for me."
"Stand up for me?"
Ning Chen said indifferently, "I was deprived of my military power, and they think that your majesty is crossing the river and destroying the bridge, so they want to come to the palace to ask for an explanation for me."
The new emperor frowned, "They are your people, don't they know that breaking into the palace at night is a serious crime of killing nine clans?"
"They don't care! They are people of the world, and they are happy to take revenge. I was wronged, and they just want to protect me... Just like I protected the emperor and your majesty at the beginning, just for friendship, regardless of right or wrong!"
The new emperor's face was slightly moved.
But then his face darkened and he asked, "Aren't they afraid of implicating you?"
Ning Chen chuckled, "They have never been to the palace, and they don't know the palace's defense force, and they never thought they would be caught."
The new emperor couldn't help but said angrily, "He's a brainless reckless man."
Ning Chen laughed, "They are indeed a little brainless, but they are loyal and righteous, very cute, aren't they?"
The new emperor was silent for a while, and said, "Really, I really envy you for having a group of loyal friends."
"Your Majesty once had some, but he gave up!"
The new emperor's face froze slightly, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Ning Chen stared at him and asked word by word: "Your Majesty, can you spare their lives?"
The new emperor said in a deep voice: "Assassinating the king and killing the emperor is a serious crime that will punish the entire clan. Even if I want to spare them, the civil and military officials will not agree."
"Your Majesty, I have fought in many battles over the years and have accumulated a lot of military merits... I am willing to use all my official positions and military merits in exchange for Your Majesty's leniency.
If Your Majesty is willing to show mercy, I will take them away from Daxuan tonight."
The new emperor looked slightly surprised, but shook his head, "Ning Chen, can I sit down? It can be said that it is all your credit that I sit on the throne.
But the more so, the more worried I am... You can let me sit on the throne, so naturally you can let others replace me.
After all, I am not my father, and I don’t have the same tolerance as him... As long as you are here, I will not feel at ease sitting on the throne. "
Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced behind the screen, and said indifferently: "So, your majesty wants to kill me?"
The new emperor shook his head, "I promised my father that I would not kill you."
"So? You want me to commit suicide?"
The new emperor did not speak.
Ning Chen sighed, "You and I have finally come to this point!"
"Ning Chen, it's not that I can't tolerate you, it's that Daxuan can't tolerate you, it's that the civil and military officials can't tolerate you... A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, you are too outstanding and have cut off your own path."
Ning Chen smiled indifferently, "You are indeed not my father, you don't have the tolerance to tolerate others, and you will never be a wise ruler like him.
You want me to commit suicide, you are dreaming.
Release Xie Siyu and the others, and I will take them away from Daxuan tonight. Otherwise, you and I can only meet in battle."
The new emperor's face His face darkened, "Are you threatening me?"
Ning Chen nodded, "Yes!"
The new emperor was furious, "What qualifications do you have to threaten me? The military power is in my hands now. As long as I give an order, I can kill you without a burial place."
Ning Chen's eyes fell behind the screen, "Just relying on these swordsmen you hid behind? They can't stop me.
I have lost my military power, but you only took away the military power of Daxuan... You can't take away the military power of Wuguo.
There is one more thing, you can't take away the Ning'an Army and the Modao Army."
The new emperor's face changed suddenly.
"Ning'an Army is loyal to you, do their families also have loyalty to you?"
Ning Chen sneered, "Since I came back from the last expedition to Tuo Luo Kingdom, I have started to move all the families of Ning'an Army to Xuanwu City."
The new emperor's face was as gloomy as water, staring at Ning Chen, "It is said that you are not loyal to Daxuan, but to the father... It seems that you are not so loyal to the father.
At that time, I had not yet ascended the throne, but you moved all the families of Ning'an Army to Xuanwu City. It seems that you are on guard against the father."
Ning Chen shook his head and laughed, "You are wrong! I am not on guard against the father, but you.
The father has suffered many disasters, and he is old. I can't pull him back from the gates of hell every time. There will always be times when I can't take care of him... I am just preparing for the rainy day!"
The new emperor's face was ashen, "So, you never believed me?"
Ning Chen said: "Half-believe, after all, you are not the father, without him Such tolerance... I thought you would change, but I didn't expect you to change so quickly. "
The new emperor asked: "Why didn't you stop my father when he wanted to pass the throne to me?"
Ning Chen smiled calmly and said: "Daxuan is my father's Daxuan. He can pass the throne to whoever he wants. I respect his decision."
The new emperor asked: "Ning Chen, have you never thought about the throne?"
Ning Chen shook his head, "No!"
"Do you think I will believe it? No one in this world can resist the temptation of the throne."
Ning Chen smiled calmly, "Whatever you think?
Your Majesty now has two choices. First, let us go. From now on, you will be your Daxuan emperor and I will be my Xuanwu city lord. We will not interfere with each other.
Second, I have sent people to send letters to the Wu Kingdom Empress and Ning'an Army. Your Majesty can try to kill me, but you will face the Wu Kingdom Iron Cavalry and Ning'an Army.
I forgot the third point. If Your Majesty kills me and kills the ministers who have made contributions, the people will be angry and you will be cursed for the rest of your life. "
The new emperor was shocked and angry, his face was so gloomy that water was about to drip out.
"Ning Chen, you can't threaten me... Daxuan has millions of cavalrymen, will they still be afraid of Wuguo?"
Ning Chen sneered: "Once the war with Wuguo begins, Daxuan will not only face Wuguo, but Nanyue will definitely wait for an opportunity to move... Your Majesty's throne will be even more unstable at that time, and you may become the only king of Daxuan who lost his country and be infamous for thousands of years.
Your Majesty's best choice now is to let us go... At that time, Daxuan will be yours alone, and you can do whatever you want. "
The new emperor's face was as gloomy as water, and his fists were clenched.
Ning Chen said indifferently: "You are too impatient. You just took away my military power. You are in a hurry to attack me before you completely control the army... In fact, if you can stay silent for two years and wait until you completely control the army of Daxuan, then it will be the most appropriate time to attack me.
If your majesty does not want to fight to the death with me, then I will go to the prison of the Supervisory Department to pick someone up... I will take my leave!"
Ning Chen said, turned around and left.
"Wait!"
Ning Chen's footsteps paused and looked back at him.
The new emperor clenched his fists, his knuckles turned white, and said in a deep voice: "You have to swear that you will never lead the army to invade Daxuan in this life."
Ning Chen said indifferently: "Don't worry, as long as my father is alive, I will never lead the army to invade Daxuan... Unless you do something that is outrageous to both humans and gods!"
The new emperor said angrily: "You don't have to threaten me, I will never harm my father."
Ning Chen snorted, "You have to dare, unless you don't want to see the sun the next day! "
After saying this, Ning Chen strode out of the palace, making the new emperor tremble with anger.
