King Ning Zhu Quan rode his horse straight into the palace. As soon as the gate of the palace was closed, he jumped off the horse. His concubine Shaning also jumped off the saddleless horse. Zhu Quan helped her and said softly: "Let's go to the harem."
Go." After saying that, he turned around and walked forward. Shan Ning followed closely behind, following suit. Zhu Quan moved forward with his hands behind his hands. The wind that entangled the martial artist was swept away, his expression became extremely calm, and his posture and gait became more stable.
It is all elegance without any hint of fireworks.
The manic, domineering and arrogant attitude at the city gate just now was just Zhu Quan's deliberate affectation. Although Zhu Quan was young, he was never an impulsive and reckless person. He was not only delicate in mind, calm in temperament, but also knowledgeable and talented.
He was resourceful and resourceful. This man's talent and knowledge ranked first among Zhu Yuanzhang's twenty-six sons. In fact, not only among the princes, even when compared with all the learned people in the government and the public, Zhu Quan did not give in much.
Huang Lao was a master of Jingzi, Jiuliu, ephemeris, medical divination, opera, music, history, and art of war. He wrote more than 370 books on various subjects in his lifetime, all of which were extremely professional.
, many of them still have great academic value in modern times, and they are almost comparable to the scholarly and omniscient medicine master Dongxie Huang.
However, just like Wang Lianhua and Shen Lang in "The History of Martial Arts", Wang Lianhua was erudite and talented, and was far more intelligent than Shen Lang, but Shen Lang only focused on one martial arts school, while Wang Lianhua's disciples had nothing to do with anything.
How much energy can one person have if he is ignorant and knows everything? Therefore, his attainments in martial arts are ultimately inferior to Shen Lang. The same is true for King Ning Zhu Quan. King Zhu Di of Yan specializes in military art and strategy. This learned Ning
The king was inferior to the king of Yan in this aspect.
In addition, Ning Wang Zhu Quan also has one of the biggest flaws. He is resourceful and indecisive, rather than resourceful and decisive. Therefore, he has a soft temperament, looks forward and backward, and has many worries in doing things. The result of thinking too deeply is that he is not as good as Yan Wang Zhu Di.
Resolute and decisive, with great courage.
The two of them arrived at the study room in the harem. Just as Shan Ning was about to speak, Zhu Quan smiled gently and said, "There's no rush. It's been a long journey. Let's go take a bath first and talk slowly when we get back. I'll wait for you here."
Shan Ning knew his temper, smiled at him, turned and left. Zhu Quan took a book from the bookshelf and started reading quietly.
His eyes fell on the book, but his mind was not there at all.
In the past year, the imperial court has made constant small moves against him. First, it took away his military power, and then transferred his three palace guards. In the first two months, he was ordered to return to the capital. He was about to follow the example of King Zhou, King Qi and other royal brothers.
Fortunately, the fourth brother rebelled, and the court relaxed its oppression on him. However, the signs that the court wanted to deal with him were already very obvious. The Daning garrison did not take him seriously at all. Chen Heng, Liu Zhen and other court officials even more
It's aggressive. Today, his princess is going back to the city, and she is in his vassal territory, and she has to be interrogated by her subordinates. How intolerable is it? He must make a gesture, otherwise even the Ning Prince's Mansion
Everyone will lose their military morale.
He is now staying in Prince Ning's Mansion, playing the piano and practicing swordsmanship every day, doing extremely elegant things, looking like he is doing nothing, but he is paying attention to every move in the world, looking for his own vitality. As a vassal king, he
Every move he makes will fall in the eyes and ears of others. If he wants to continue to exert influence on his vassal country, he can only rely on Ning'er's special status. Isn't it a tragedy that the dignified prince has fallen into this state?
His main concubine is the daughter of Zhang Tai, a Ming Dynasty military commander. And his side concubine Shan Ning is the sister of the leader of the Duoyan Guards. It is precisely because of Shan Ning's special identity that she made a gesture of hiding behind closed doors to avoid trouble.
Zhu Quancai still maintains close contact with the outside world.
Distraught with his thoughts, Zhu Quan threw the book aside. At this time, Shan Ning finished taking a bath, changed into light clothes, and walked in elegantly. Her face was moist and white without makeup, and her face was moist and white.
Wearing a pure white robe, her slender figure, slender waist, and light steps seemed to be walking on the clouds, making her look light and elegant, elegant and noble.
Zhu Quan smiled: "Sha Ning, how about going out this time?"
Shan Ning sat down beside him and said: "I went to see my brother first, then went to Taining Guard and Fuyu Guard, gave their Mrs. Taiji some gifts, and stayed there for some time.
When I came back, I went to Liujiakou, met my adopted brother, and inquired about the situation in the pass."
The Taining Guards, the Fuyu Guards, and the Duoyan Guards commanded by Shaning's brother Suhebamon became what we later knew as the Duoyan Three Guards. However, the strength of the three guards at this time was headed by the Taining Guards.
Fu Yuwei came second, and Duoyan Guard was the youngest, so at that time few people used the name Duoyan Sanwei to refer to the three guards. As for the Taiji mentioned by Shaning, he was the leader of Fu Yuwei and Taining Guard.
When everyone ruled the Central Plains in the Yuan Dynasty, they had little understanding of many Chinese terms, so they used them indiscriminately. For example, miss, before the Yuan Dynasty, specifically referred to prostitutes, but after the Mongols entered the Central Plains, women who were called miss were all prostitutes.
BMW is a beautiful woman, and most of them are as beautiful as flowers and jade. They think that Miss is a very noble title, so they use it on the daughters of officials and noble families. After a hundred years, the Ming Dynasty has also followed this title.
The same is true for Taiji. Taiji is the pronunciation of "Prince" by the Yuan Dynasty people. Maybe they are a bit tongue-tied when speaking Chinese and can't pronounce it clearly, so "Prince" is pronounced as Taiji. They don't understand the true meaning of Prince.
, thought it was a very noble title, so they gave many tribal leaders the title of Taiji, so that they had an overwhelming number of "princes". Now the leaders of the three guards have been made commanders and magistrates by the Ming Dynasty. Shan Ning is a Duoyan
We are people of Wei, so we still habitually call them Taiji.
Zhu Quan hummed, his expression a little urgent, and Shan Ning said sweetly: "Your Highness, don't worry, the leaders of the three guards are loyal to Your Highness. They will all come to congratulate His Highness on his birthday next month."
Zhu Quan felt relieved and asked hurriedly: "How is the situation in the pass now?"
Shan Ning said happily: "Guan Nei, King Yan is really powerful. He is an amazing Batulu. Geng Bingwen's army of 130,000 people collapsed in a battle with King Yan. He retreated to Zhending City and never dared to come forward again.
Already."
His woman admires another man so much, even though it is his fourth brother. He also knows that Shaning is a woman from the grassland, and it is her nature to admire heroes. She does not just like Zhu Di, whom she has never met before, but it is still a bit tasteful.
Son, couldn't help but snort.
Shan Ningmei laughed, folded her waist slightly, raised her buttocks and moved to his thigh, hugging his neck: "The imperial court looks like a huge monster, but it is actually vulnerable. King Yan only has 30,000 soldiers and horses.
We defeated Geng Bingwen's 130,000-strong army. My great hero, when will you raise troops to respond?"
Zhu Quan put his arm around her slender waist, caressed her round, soft, and oily buttocks, and asked: "Geng Bingwen was defeated, and the court did not take any measures?"
Shan Ning kissed his earlobe provocatively and said softly: "Why not? I heard that the imperial court sent Cao Guogong again, this time with an army of 500,000."
Zhu Quan was shocked and said in shock: "An army of five hundred thousand?"
Shan Ning nodded sweetly, Zhu Quan's face changed slightly, and he said thankfully: "Fortunately, I can keep my composure. It would be bad if your eldest brother and the others responded to King Yan and raised troops to quell Jingnan."
Shan Ning frowned his beautiful eyebrows and said with some doubts: "What? Didn't Your Highness say that if a traitor takes over the power and corrupts the imperial court, the vassal king has the right to denounce the traitor and send troops to clear the emperor's side? You asked me to contact the three guards to guard against the imperial court.
Are we pressing forward to attack His Highness? Now that King Yan is holding back the imperial army, His Highness just needs to raise troops to respond, and Shanhaiguan and beyond will have to pay everything to Your Highness. Why should we go back on our word?"
Zhu Quan patted her butt and said with a smile: "How can I embark on this road of no return unless I have to? The imperial court has an army of 500,000 people. No matter how great my fourth brother is, how can he be his opponent?"
Shan Ning was slightly disappointed: "Then...since King Yan has been defeated, won't the imperial court still attack His Highness?"
Zhu Quan said confidently: "Originally, the imperial court would never let me go. Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, Qitai and other traitorous ministers deceived the emperor, alienated the emperor's relatives, and made my mean and unkind nephew attack my uncles.
Poison Hands, among the kings, the ones they are most afraid of are probably the fourth brother and me. But since the fourth brother has rebelled and has severely damaged the imperial troops, I think... no matter how stupid they are, they have to consider forcing the kings to rebel one by one.
serious consequences.
You see, I have handed over the military power now, including the three guards and horses. What threat does it pose to the court? Their goal has been achieved. After they eliminate the fourth brother's soldiers and horses, they will learn from the lessons of the past.
Do you dare to use extreme means to force me to rebel? I asked your brother, Fu Yuwei, and Tainingwei leaders to attend my birthday banquet to demonstrate to my nephew of the emperor and those traitorous ministers: I, Zhu Quan, am not the same
You sweet persimmon, if you don’t want me to follow in the footsteps of King Yan, please don’t bully me too much!”
Shan Ning said with some displeasure: "Your Highness, are you seeking to protect yourself with the help of King Yan? Does Your Highness know that after King Yan is destroyed, the imperial court will not send troops to deal with His Highness again?"
Zhu Quan said: "Do you think that hundreds of thousands of troops can be moved at a word? Do you know how much food and manpower the imperial court will consume to mobilize so many troops? No matter how generous the family background left by the late emperor is,
If I can't bear his torment like this, does he really have the strength to kill the fourth brother and then continue to send troops to deal with me? They keep saying they serve the country and the people, aren't they afraid of making trouble for the people?
I also hate those treacherous sycophants who are gossiping, and I want to give the emperor some color, but... the imperial court is powerful, and if I become an enemy of the imperial court, I will escape death. But if I resist stubbornly and the imperial court wants to touch me, I will have to pay a huge price.
The price. Therefore, after what happened to Fourth Brother, I think... the imperial court will also accept the lesson and change its course, and will not push the kings to death again. If you want military power, I will give it to you. Let me do it in Daning
Prince Taiping, this possibility is hundreds of times greater than the possibility of following your fourth brother to raise an army against the imperial court and succeed, right?"
Shan Ning sighed quietly, said nothing, and looked very disappointed.
Zhu Quan glanced at her, shook his head and said with a smile: "Ning'er, this is a military and national event, you don't understand. This is not a Naadam meeting in your tribe, where there are horse racing, archery, wrestling, and the winner can become all
Baturu, who is admired by men and admired by women, is gambling on his life. Throw away your unrealistic fantasies. Being a hero is not that easy!"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
At this time, Xia Xun and Saihazhi had already stood in front of Prince Ning's mansion. Saihazhi said to Xia Xun: "Sir, you said that after arriving in Daning, we should just wait and see and understand the details of Prince Ning.
Did you ask to see him? Why did you come so directly?"
Xia Xun said: "You also saw the scene in front of the city gate today. Prince Ning is in anger. Wouldn't it be most appropriate to contact him at this time? We must be like spiders, not letting go of any slightest disturbance. Opportunities
, fleeting!”
It was so damn philosophical that Saihazhi, who had never read a book at all, said with great admiration: "Your Excellency is wise!"
Zhu Quan changed his color and said, "Who wants to see me?"
The steward of the palace said it again, and Zhu Quan said in surprise: "Fourth brother's people? They're gone! They're gone! Send them away quickly!"
"Wait!"
Shan Ning stopped taking care of things and said to Zhu Quan: "Your Highness, why don't you meet and listen to what King Yan's envoy said?"
Zhu Quan said: "You still have to ask. The imperial court must have sent 500,000 troops. The fourth brother knew that he was invincible, so he wanted to persuade me to join the army. Even if I agreed, how could I fight against the 500,000-strong imperial army? If I saw him, I would be attacked again.
The eyes and ears of the imperial court noticed that even if I jumped into the Yellow River, I would not be able to wash it away. I am gone and cannot be seen!"
Shan Ning raised her eyebrows and said calmly: "In my opinion, Your Highness should meet me."
"Oh?" Zhu Quan knew that his concubine was a little angry when she called herself his concubine according to the custom of the Central Plains. He couldn't help but glance at her and asked: "Why do you want to meet her?"
Shan Ning said: "Your Highness is putting all your chips on the side that the court will win? If King Yan can defeat the court's 130,000 troops, it may not be impossible to defeat his army of 500,000 men. If King Yan wins,
Your Highness shows no brotherhood today. How will you deal with yourself then? Ten thousand sheep are no match for a wolf. I don’t think that we can conclude that King Yan will be defeated now. Your Highness just meets them again.
What's the harm, why block your own escape route? In any case, the existence of King Yan is always beneficial to your highness, right?"
Prince Ning walked slowly in the study, pondered for a long time, then reluctantly nodded and said: "Okay... let's bring them in and wait for me at the Cunxin Hall."
Shan Ning said: "Your Highness, let me change my clothes and go with Your Highness to see what they say."
Shan Ning is a woman from the grassland. She has only been in the palace for more than two years. She has grown up wild on the grassland and is not very rigid in the Central Plains ethics. Zhu Quan is also used to her style, so he does not feel dissatisfied and just nodded in agreement.
.
Sai Hazhi has no impression of Shan Ning at all. Some people in this world are blind, but some people have very poor memory for recognizing people. Sai Hazhi is such a person. He only met a woman once and left no impression on her. As long as she
He changed his clothes and hairstyle, and bumped into him again the next day. He didn't know he had seen him before. What's more, outside Liu's home, Shan Ning's face was just a glimpse, and his attention was entirely focused on the warrior-like figure.
Liu Kui's body, so he didn't remember it at all.
Xia Xun is not the case. Today at the city gate, he has confirmed that Prince Ning's side concubine Shan Ning is the woman he saw on the hillside outside Liujiakou. He had met her at that time. Maybe this princess is also still alive.
He remembered his appearance, but he was not worried about it. Ordinary families did not treat foreigners as their female relatives, let alone the dignified Prince Ning?
Therefore, Xia Xun walked into Prince Ning's Mansion leisurely and calmly...
