The Return of the Demon

Chapter 861 Ambitions

Ning Chen was completely speechless.

"Lieutenant General Yue, I take back my life!"

Yue Congyun said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, you are now the emperor, so you must be consistent in your words and deeds, and you must not laugh or curse anymore, as this will undermine the emperor's authority!"

Ning Chen rolled his eyes quietly in his heart, "Okay, I understand!"

Yue Congyun continued: "Your Majesty has to decide on a reign name recently."

Ning Chen didn't even think about it and said directly: "The reign name is Ning'an, and I am Emperor Ning!"

At this moment, Tantai Qingyue, dressed in white, walked in from outside the courtyard and heard Ning Chen's words.

Seeing the dragon robe on Ning Chen, he couldn't help but be startled, and then his eyes showed contempt.

Didn't you say you have no interest in the throne? The dragon robes are all put on, and the year names are decided.

Ning Chen noticed the contempt in Tantai Qingyue's eyes and smiled helplessly.

Tantai Qingyue stepped forward and said: "The Xiliang royal family has replied!"

Ning Chen looked at Feng Qizheng and Yue Congyun, "You go ahead and get busy."

"Your Majesty, please leave!"

The two of them bowed and retreated.

Ning Chen couldn't wait to ask: "What did the Xiliang royal family say?"

Tantai Qingyue looked at the dragon robe on him, "Why do you look like a large gold ingot when you put on the dragon robe? The previous clothes still look pleasing to the eye."

Ning Chen shrugged, "I don't want to wear it either, they forced me to wear it."

Tantai Qingyue snorted, "With your prestige, if you don't want to wear the dragon robe, who can force you?

Ning Chen, actually you still really want to be the emperor in your heart. "

Ning Chen smiled, "Then you underestimate my ambition."

Tantai Qingyue was startled and asked curiously: "How do you say that?"

Ning Chen said calmly: "Being an emperor is too tiring, and it is not what I want... Before, I said that I wanted Emperor Xuan to become the common master of the world. But my old father does not value power.

Therefore, I can only be the co-owner of this world... I don’t want the small throne. What I want is whoever I want to be the emperor. Whoever I want to be the emperor will be the emperor. It’s not just Daxuan, the whole world has to be decided by me. Have the final say. "

Tantai Qingyue was dumbfounded, stunned by Ning Chen's ambition!

Ning Chen tugged on the dragon robe on his body and said with a smile: "Emperors take turns, come to my house this year... Do you want to be the emperor? I can support you to become the Empress of Xiliang."

Tantai Qingyue was stunned, and after a long time she shook her head, "Power is not what I seek. What I seek is to become the best in martial arts."

"Aren't you already a master of martial arts?"

Tantai Qingyue said: "I have Lao Tianshi and Liu Baiyi above me."

Ning Chen waved his hand and said: "The wording must be accurate. They are just ranked in front of you... The only one who is above you is me."

The corners of Tantai Qingyue's exquisite mouth tightened instantly, and she said angrily: "If it weren't for the Xiliang people in Xuanwu City, the day you become emperor will be the day you fall."

Ning Chen snorted and dismissed it!

Immediately, the conversation changed and he asked: "Tell me quickly, has the Xiliang royal family agreed to borrow food?"

Tantai Qingyue nodded, "I agreed! But Xiliang has been impoverished by you and cannot produce much food."

Ning Chen hurriedly asked: "How much food can they provide?"

Tantai Qingyue said: "Four hundred thousand stones."

Ning Chen began to calculate in his mind, one stone is ten dou, one dou is twelve kilograms... A soldier's daily ration is about three kilograms.

Today, there are approximately more than 70,000 soldiers in Beilinguan. If they save a little, these 400,000 stones of food and grass can sustain the soldiers in Beilinguan for half a year.

The reason why the officers and soldiers in Beilinguan are counted is because the grain and grass from Xiliang can only be transported to Beilinguan.

If it were transported here, the journey would be too long and unrealistic.

Ning Chen sighed: "Xiliang is indeed very poor."

Tantai Qingyue gritted her teeth, "Who is the reason why Xiliang country is poor?"

Ning Chen touched his nose awkwardly.

In fact, 400,000 dan is quite a lot, and Xiliang Kingdom’s own army also needs to eat.

In comparison, Daxuan is really wealthy.

Even if Xiliang is a poorer state, its annual grain storage capacity is about one million dan.

Ning Chen admires Emperor Xuan more and more now!

Emperor Xuan didn't like war, he just wanted to keep the people fed and clothed...and he did that.

Not only did the people of Daxuan have enough food and clothing, but they also maintained an army of millions, with strong soldiers and horses, and ample money and food.

But now, Daxuan is probably not very wealthy... With the prodigal son of Emperor De here, Emperor Xuan's accumulated wealth may be lost to him in a short time.

As the saying goes, we are not afraid of the rich second generation squandering, but they are afraid of the rich second generation starting their own businesses.

The German emperor was eager to prove himself and wanted to expand his territory and leave his name in history.

As a result, his ability did not match his ambition, and Daxuan was almost crushed by him.

The key is to have a smart person by his side who keeps giving him bad ideas.

Ning Chen is now very worried about Emperor Xuan. How sad will he be when he sees Da Xuan now?

Ning Chen gathered his thoughts and asked, "How long will it take for the food and grass to be delivered?"

"Any time!" Tantai Qingyue said: "As long as you release the 20,000 Xiliang people in Xuanwu City, and then write the loan book and sign it, the food and grass will be sent immediately."

"I'll write now!"

Ning Chen returned to the room, came to the desk, grinded the ink, filled up the pen, and started writing quickly!

Tantai Qingyue looked disgusted, Ning Chen's handwriting was really ugly.

After writing it, Ning Chen signed it and handed it to Tantai Qingyue.

"Immediately reply to the Xiliang royal family and ask them to deliver food and grass as soon as possible...I will send people to Xuanwu City to release 20,000 Xiliang people."

Tantai Qingyue looked at the borrowed book in her hand, shook her head and said: "It would be great if there was a big seal, there is not even a jade seal, how can you be an emperor?"

Ning Chen's mouth twitched, "Why, are you still afraid that I will regret it?"

"That's not true. The people of Daxuan love you so much. If you break your promise, you will lose the support of the people... Moreover, no one else can write this ugly handwriting, and it is difficult to imitate it. I am not afraid of your denial.

However, I still suggest that you practice your calligraphy well. You will have to review memorials in the future... With your ugly calligraphy, I am afraid that your officials will laugh out loud. "

Ning Chen was so angry that he rolled his eyes fiercely, "You know what the hell, this is my own calligraphy, called Plum Blossom Seal Script, it's unique, don't even think about imitating it, it's all about safety."

Tantai Qingyue let out a laugh, the mockery evident in her words.

Ning Chen rolled his eyes in anger, "Xiao Danzi, am I too tolerant of you, giving you the illusion that you can offend Tianwei?"

Tantai Qingyue raised the borrowed book in her hand, "Don't forget, I am your creditor now... So, His Majesty Emperor Ning, please be polite to me!"

Ning Chen: "..."

"I borrowed the grain from the Xiliang royal family. Why are you so angry?"

Tantai Qingyue said: "I am the royal family of Xiliang... As long as I say a word, you will not be able to borrow this food. Your Majesty Emperor Ning, do you want to give it a try?"
