The Return of the Demon

Emperor Xuan looked at Ning Chen, "Since I decided to let you preside over the Spring Palace, I have expected that those noble families will not be honest."

"There is also the Department of Supervision. As long as the Department of Supervision exists, it is a sharp sword hanging over the heads of these people, so they do not dare to act unscrupulously."

"So, Chunwei must be presided over by you. I believe in Geng Jing's loyalty, and I will not remove him from his position because of this matter."

"Everyone in the civil and military dynasties has their own little thoughts...Although I am the emperor, I am not a god. Sometimes I will inevitably be deceived, so I need someone I can trust to help me keep an eye on them."

"There is a gap between people's hearts. If you want to completely trust someone, it takes a long time to test... Therefore, I will not touch Geng Jing, do you understand?"

Ning Chen nodded slightly.

It is not easy to be the emperor. It is impossible for one person to manage the entire world.

It is not only necessary to prevent some people from seeking power and usurping the throne, but also to prevent being deceived and tricked by the officials... Therefore, it is indeed not easy to cultivate a loyal person.

Ning Chen thought of Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. He once went to Jiangnan and asked how much an egg cost. When he learned that it was five-marked eggs, he almost went crazy because the eggs reported to him by the Ministry of Internal Affairs were twelve taels each, and the most expensive eggs were 26 taels each.

It can be seen that it is difficult to be the emperor. Not only the civil and military officials have their own little thoughts, but also the little eunuchs and the maids have their own little ninety-nine.

The most important thing for civil and military officials is to coax the emperor well and make the emperor happy, so that they can make money with ease.

This is why there have been officials in every dynasty.

Because public officials are stubborn and pedantic, there is no job promotion. Most of them only value reputation and want to be famous forever, so they are very stubborn and dare to impeach anyone.

Fighting down a powerful person is their favorite thing to do.

What these people like most is to see others make mistakes. Once they find out, they will be happier than having a wife... Not to mention the court officials, even if Emperor Xuan makes a mistake, they will still dare to jump out.

Therefore, successive emperors loved and hated them.

But these guys who are stupid at reading can easily be taken advantage of.

Ning Chen said: "Father, what about the Taiwei and those experts?"

Emperor Xuan waved his hand, "They like to kneel, so just let them kneel...I will find a way to solve it later."

"You can rest assured to preside over the Spring Palace well and choose more talents for me."

Ning Chen leaned over and said, "My son, I obey your order!"

"Father, if there is nothing else to do, I am resigning!"

"Wait a minute!" Emperor Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked at him, "You have been married for almost a month, right? Why is there no movement in Huai'an's belly?"

"Uh... I think... I think you have to let nature take its course for this kind of thing. Sometimes the more deliberate you are, the less likely you are to get pregnant... But I will definitely try my best."

Emperor Xuan frowned and said, "Have some snacks and hold on tight!"

"Yes, I obey your order!"

Ning Chen was very tired. He didn't expect that he would be forced to marry and have a baby when he came to this world.

Ning Chen was about to retire when a young eunuch walked in quickly, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the left and right prime ministers would like to see you!"

If the left sign and right sign are the same and you ask for a meeting, it seems that something big is happening.

"Let them in!"

"yes!"

The little eunuch retreated.

After a while, the left prime minister and the right prime minister walked in. When they saw Ning Chen, they couldn't help being startled, and then they paid homage at the same time: "I see you, your majesty!"

Emperor Xuan said: "The two beloved ladies are equal!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Before Emperor Xuan could ask, Prime Minister Zuo held up the memorial in his hand and spoke first: "Your Majesty, the southern border is eight hundred miles away. South Vietnam has suddenly launched troops. A hundred and fifty thousand troops are approaching the city."

Emperor Xuan was shocked!

"Send it up!"

Eunuch Quan quickly presented the report to Emperor Xuan.

Emperor Xuan looked solemn after reading it. He immediately handed it to Ning Chen and said, "You should also take a look."

Ning Chen stepped forward to take the memorial and looked thoughtful after reading it.

"Ning Chen, what do you think?"

Ning Chen wondered: "Did the South Vietnamese monarch take the wrong medicine? He didn't remember to take the medicine."

"As far as I know, the total number of soldiers and horses in South Vietnam is only more than 300,000, and they are at war with Gaoliguo... They actually mobilized an army of 150,000 to fight against Daxuan. This is unreasonable."

"Last time, Erchen defeated three of their cities in a row, and the backup force left behind was enough to prevent them from starting a war with Daxuan for several years... It is really strange that South Vietnam has suddenly sent troops."

The right minister said: "But the eight hundred miles of expediting cannot be false... Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have checked the handwriting, and it is indeed General Tong's own handwriting."

Ning Chen's eyes flickered.

He wouldn't be surprised if Tuoluo Kingdom and Xiliang came together, because the two countries have already formed an alliance.

But the one who jumped out turned out to be South Vietnam, which surprised him.

He and Kang Luo had fought against each other more than once. Kang Luo had just suffered a defeat and three cities had been looted. According to their personalities, they should rest and recuperate now.

This thing is so weird!

"Your Majesty, there is an emergency at the border. Please send troops to support us as soon as possible."

The right minister leaned over and said.

Emperor Xuan looked at Ning Chen.

Ning Chen immediately understood what Emperor Xuan meant, leaned over and said, "Father, I would like to lead the Ning'an army to the southern border for support."

Emperor Xuan frowned.

If Ning Chen leaves at this time, he will definitely not be able to preside over Chun Wei, and his plan to select talented people will come to nothing.

But the border situation is urgent, and it is a matter of great importance for the stability of Daxuan's country.

Emperor Xuan weighed the pros and cons and decided to let Ning Chen go to the south to support him.

"Ning Chen, go back and prepare immediately. You will lead the army to set out tomorrow... I will choose another candidate for the chief examiner of the Spring Examination."

Ning Chen leaned over, "Your son obeys the order!"

The new chief examiner should be Li Hanru.

Wait until the evening, and go to find Li Hanru again.

Ning Chen left the palace and rode Diao Chan back to the mansion. The speed was not fast.

He always felt that something was wrong with this matter... But he couldn't tell what was wrong?

Ning Chen returned to the mansion and immediately asked someone to find Yuan Long, Lei An and others.

In the afternoon, everyone arrived.

Hearing that the border was in danger, Yuan Long immediately said, "Your Majesty, I will go back and prepare immediately."

Ning Chen waved his hand, "You don't have to go with me this time, stay in the capital."

"This happened too suddenly, I always feel something is wrong... You stay and lead the Weilong Army to protect the safety of the capital."

Although Yuan Long felt a little regretful, the military order was as heavy as a mountain, and he leaned over and said, "I obey your order!"

"Wu Tiezhu, Lei An, you go back and prepare quickly, and set off tomorrow morning!"

"I obey your order!"

The two hurried away.

Pan Yucheng stood up and said, "Then we will go back and prepare too!"

"Old Pan, don't go this time. Miss Nanzhi is pregnant... You stay to accompany her."

Pan Yucheng shook his head, "No, this is indeed wrong. I have to stay with you, otherwise I will be worried."

Ning Chen thought for a while and said, "Then you send Miss Nanzhi to the palace to stay temporarily. There is Yudie to accompany her, and there is Zi Su, the miracle doctor, so you can rest assured."

"Good idea, I will go back and prepare now!"
