Chapter 238 Transaction
When he left the palace, Xue Lingfeng was quick and the matter was urgent, so he and Qi Ning were the first to leave the palace gate.
When he arrived outside the palace gate, Xue Lingfeng said: "The Marquis is still too impulsive today. I said last night that no matter what happens, the Marquis should not get involved."
Qi Ning knew that Xue Lingfeng was coming forward to take the blame for him today, and smiled and said, "Uncle Xue still can't hear it. Even if I don't stand up, someone will still pull me in." He frowned and asked, "Yes, who is that Lord Lu?"
"He is Lu Xiao, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War. Although he is only the left assistant minister, he is now in charge of the Ministry of War." Xue Lingfeng explained: "Although Jin Daohou is known as the Minister of War, he is old. In the past two years, he is said to be suffering from all kinds of illnesses and has little to go out, and he has no physical strength or energy to manage the Ministry of War. Lu Xiao was a powerful general who followed Jin Daohou to fight. He was good at literature and martial arts and had always been in charge of the Ministry of War. Jin Daohou could not take care of the Ministry of War. He, as the Minister of War, naturally had to take charge of the affairs of the Ministry of War."
Only then did Qi Ning realize that the smoke from his nostrils was the Minister of War. It seemed that the Ministry of War was the power of Jindaohou.
During these days in Beijing, Qi Ning knew the reputation of the four hereditary marquis, and knew the behavior of the Marquis of Zhongyi and Wuxiang marquis, but the Marquis of Jindao had never seen it.
"Marty, the emperor said you have already had the special order to mobilize troops, why didn't you take it out last night?" Xue Lingfeng hesitated for a moment, and finally asked in a low voice: "If you took out the special order to mobilize troops last night and have the special order from the emperor, we should be more thorough in doing things."
Qi Ning was stunned and then smiled and said, "Uncle Xue, if someone else asks this, I will ignore it, but since you have asked...!" He looked around and approached Xue Lingfeng's ear and whispered a few times. Xue Lingfeng was stunned, and then showed an intriguing look and smiled, "So that's it."
"Marquis Jinyi is young and strong, but it's not something we old men can compare to." Suddenly, when he heard a voice from behind, Qi Ning looked back and saw that the King of Huainan was walking slowly over.
Although King Huainan is over 40 years old, he is well maintained, looks very young, and is obviously full of energy.
Qi Ning and Xue Lingfeng bowed at the same time, and the King of Huainan waved his hand and smiled, "I have never cared about this, so don't be polite in private." He said to Xue Lingfeng, "Master Xue, you still have something to do, so don't delay it. Official affairs are important, so I and Marquis Jinyi say a few words casually."
Xue Lingfeng glanced at Qi Ning and bowed, "I'm going to leave!"
After Xue Lingfeng left, the King of Huainan smiled and said, "Marquis Jinyi, why don't you accompany me to have a casual walk?"
When you leave the palace gate, you have to pass through a long marble square, walk through the square in front of the palace, and go down the steps before you can leave while riding a horse.
Qi Ning said respectfully: "Please, please!"
King Huainan was carrying his hands, and Qi Ning followed behind a little behind. Although he knew that King Huainan and the little emperor were competing secretly. As the Marquis of Jinyi, it was impossible for him to walk with King Huainan, so far, there has been no substantial conflict between the two sides, and Xiao Zhang is also a king's title, so he still seems more humble in front of him.
"The young man is terrifying." The King of Huainan walked slowly, but sighed: "Marquis Jinyi, in fact, I am quite moved in the imperial study today."
"What does the prince mean?"
"When I see you, I think of myself when I was young." The King of Huainan said with a smile: "I have a passionate and dare to speak out."
Qi Ning was stunned, not knowing what the Huainan King meant, but said: "The prince is extremely precious and not comparable to that of Qi Ning."
The King of Huainan laughed, seemed quite happy, and said, "Do you know what I admire about you?"
"Prince, please advise!"
"You are committed to the country, and you not only dare to speak out, but also come up with a solution. This is what I appreciate." King Huainan said: "Some people are clever, but they really want to do things, but they are helpless. Hehe, the corpse is a simple meal, and they can only miss my Great Chu."
Qi Ning naturally heard something in the words of the King of Huainan, but who is the corpse position referring to?
Is it the Marquis of Zhongyi? Is it the Marquis of Ximen Shen? Or the Emperor?
"Marquis Jinyi, what should you do about the Black Lotus Holy Sect?" Before Qi Ning could think more, the King of Huainan suddenly asked.
Qi Ning knew that an old guy like this would be able to chat with him just to enhance his feelings.
"Your Majesty, my younger generation is still young and has a short-sighted understanding. I really dare not talk nonsense about such national affairs." Qi Ning deliberately made a nervous look.
The King of Huainan laughed and said, "I already knew what happened last night. You learned that the epidemic was about to happen and worked hard all night. Such a worry about the country was a big deal. You don't have to think too much. I just chatted with you for a few words. Even if you say it wrong, it would be okay. Moreover, if you inherited the Marquis of Jinyi, you will inevitably have to participate in more state affairs in the future. Without more experience, that would not happen."
Qi Ning thought that this capital was really different. He seemed to know all the whereabouts of his own, which only means that they were actually paying attention to him secretly.
"Prince, in fact, what the Marquis Zhongyi said is not bad. Not to mention whether this epidemic and poison incident is related to the Black Lotus Saint Sect, even if it is really related to them, we cannot be too rushed. We need to separate them from the Miao people's seventy-two holes first, and we cannot confuse them." Qi Ning said cautiously: "The powerful dragons that are not enough to defeat the local snakes. Those Miao people can be regarded as local snakes in Bashu. They are familiar with the geographical climate. If the court is too rushed and push them to the Black Lotus Saint Sect, it will be counterproductive."
The King of Huainan nodded slightly and said, "Anyway, do you also agree with the use of military force against the Black Lotus Holy Sect?"
"If the epidemic poison is indeed related to the Black Lotus Holy Sect, and the Black Lotus Holy Sect cannot come up with an explanation, they will naturally not be ruthless to them." Qi Ning said: "But the important thing at the moment is to solve the epidemic poison in the capital first. As for the Black Lotus Holy Sect, they can only wait until the matter is over before discussing. The emperor is wise and has pillars and beams such as the prince and the Zhongyihou, so they will naturally come up with the best strategy at that time."
The King of Huainan stared at Qi Ning with sharp eyes and suddenly laughed: "Well said that, I am worthy of being the member of the Qi family of the Marquis of Jinyi." He moved closer and said: "Marquis of Jinyi, your Qi family is a family of martial honors. The old marquis and your father are all peerless generals who are intimidating the world. In my opinion, sooner or later you will become a famous general in my Great Chu."
"The prince is too honored." Qi Ning immediately said: "I am very stupid and dare not compare myself with the previous two generations of Jinyi Hou."
"Then you are wrong." The King of Huainan said with a smile: "You are a member of the Qi family and are destined to become a commander general. The emperor will mobilize you the special order of the Tiger God Camp, because you have the blood of the Jinyi Hou Qi family." After a pause, he frowned and said: "But if you want to become a famous general, you still have to have a chance to achieve it if you want to become a famous general like your grandfather and your father."
"Chance?"
"No matter how great a person is, if he is not given a chance, he will never be able to use it." King Huainan said softly: "Marquis Jinyi, I say something unpleasant. Although you are bleeding from the Qi family, you are afraid that someone in the court will not want to see you restore the Qi family's past glory."
Qi Ning laughed in his heart. If you don’t want the Qi family to restore its former prestige, wouldn’t it be the one you, the King of Huainan? But he remained calm and frowned slightly and asked, “Prince, who did you have not offended in the court? Why…?”
"This is not something that can offend people or not." The King of Huainan said lightly, looking at Qi Ning, looking heart-to-heart: "Marquis Jinyi, I know that some people behind me are confused and slandering me, but I never care. I am the blood of the Great Chu royal family, and the blood of Emperor Taizu flows on my body. This Great Chu was defeated by Emperor Taizu's hard work. Both the King and the Emperor hope that the Great Chu will last for thousands of years."
Qi Ning thought to really talk about the Great Chu Empire. Although Emperor Taizu of Chu had the foundation-making achievements, the one who really conquered this country should be Emperor Taizong.
"Prince, my little minister also hopes that our Great Chu will last for thousands of years and be passed down from generation to generation." Qi Ning said.
The King of Huainan said: "The ruler of the country is to employ people. If you are young and promising, you will become a pillar of my great Chu in the future, but...!" He sighed and said: "I don't know much about some things." He lowered his voice and said: "But when the time comes, I will really send troops to encircle and suppress the Black Lotus Holy Sect. I will strongly recommend you Jinyi Marquis in front of the saint. The old Marquis of Jinyi led the troops to attack Shu, and they were invincible. This time, the Jinyi Marquis of your young hero sent troops to encircle and suppress the Black Lotus Holy Sect. It will definitely be easy to capture, and the Jinyi Marquis of Jinyi can also make great contributions!"
Qi Ning was stunned, his thoughts were like lightning, and he immediately realized that the King of Huainan obviously wanted to make a deal with him to support the court in siege and suppress the Black Lotus Holy Sect. In return, he would recommend himself to become a general in command.
At this moment, he just felt that there was something very strange in the middle.
Today in the imperial study room, from the very beginning, the King of Huainan seemed to have the intention to encircle and suppress the Black Lotus Holy Sect. It is necessary to know that even the Shenhou Mansion did not know much about the Black Lotus Holy Sect, but the King of Huainan seemed to know more about the Black Lotus Holy Sect than the Shenhou Mansion.
The Black Lotus Holy Sect is just a low-key gang on the border, and he has always been low-key. He doesn't know much about them in the world, but he doesn't know why the King of Huainan is so concerned about the Black Lotus Holy Sect? And he obviously wants to eliminate the Black Lotus Holy Sect and be quick.
One prince of a dignified empire, the other is a low-key border Miao gang. Qi Ning really didn't know what connection the two could have, and he couldn't understand why the King of Huainan wanted to get rid of the Black Lotus Holy Sect and then quickly.
There is no doubt that today the little emperor took action to help him. In the eyes of the King of Huainan and others, the little emperor was obviously looking at himself with a special order.
The King of Huainan obviously also saw that he, the Marquis of Jinyi, seemed to have some influence in front of the little emperor, so he actually used the conditions to command the generals in exchange for Qi Ning's support for the encirclement and suppression of the Black Lotus Holy Sect.
The young man is young and energetic. In the eyes of the King of Huainan, the young Marquis of Jinyi certainly hopes to make achievements and recreate the glory of Marquis of Jinyi in the past.
