In the early morning, the officials had a heated discussion about the war in the northwest. Finally, the general who protected the country, Xie Wu, proposed to send an additional 100,000 troops to the northwest, which was accepted by Emperor Ning. He immediately started troops to prepare for the war, and Xie Wu was appointed as the leader of the western expedition.
The head coach and other relevant ministries and departments must also coordinate and cooperate.
Logically speaking, once there is a war, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs must be the busiest, because one is in charge of soldiers and the other is in charge of food. The officials of the Ministry of Households all rushed back to the Yamen after the morning court. Only Tang Ji walked leisurely outside the Imperial Study Room and asked.
After the eunuch informed him, he was quickly summoned into the palace by Emperor Ning.
"Tang Ji, why are you looking for me now?"
Ning Huang looked serious, holding the memorial in his hand, and asked while browsing.
After Tang Ji knelt down and saluted, he slowly stood up, cupped his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, I want to go back to Huaizhou."
Hearing this, Emperor Ning suddenly raised his head. He thought that Tang Ji was here to make suggestions for the northwest war, or at least because of yesterday's assassination. But he didn't expect that he was leaving Kyoto. He couldn't help but raise his eyes and asked: "Why do you want to return to Huaihe?"
state?"
Tang Ji looked calm and continued: "Your Majesty, I have been abandoned since I was a child. The old man who adopted me has always raised me as his own grandson. His death anniversary is approaching, and I want to go back to worship. In addition, I would like to observe the use of flying money.
Effect."
Emperor Ning frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "It's good for you to be filial, but now there are many affairs in the Household Department, and you have outstanding abilities, so it's better to stay for now. It's not too late to go back and fulfill your filial piety after the war is over!"
Tang Ji pursed his lips, knowing that the other party would not let go so easily, and said instead: "Your Majesty, Huaizhou is only my first destination. In addition, I also plan to go to the northwest."
Emperor Ning raised his head again. The word "Northwest" was very sensitive to him now. He put down the memorial in his hand, looked at Tang Ji and asked, "Why are you going to the Northwest?"
"To be honest with you, Your Majesty, in addition to the war, many people in the world are also planning to hold a world conference in the northwest to elect the leader of the Jianghu alliance. Once the position of leader falls into the hands of someone with intentions, the entire world may never have peace.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was written by me. I think I am also qualified to intervene in the competition. I will wait for the opportunity in the future. If I can seize the position of leader of the alliance, it will be a great blessing for our country, Ning!" Tang Ji looked serious.
After saying that, he raised his head and looked at Emperor Ning again. Seeing that the other person was still staring at him, he coughed twice.
Emperor Ning did not notice him, but was thinking about what Tang Ji said. Nowadays, the power of Jianghu is indeed getting bigger and bigger, and it has even become a threat. The court has to pay attention to it. If Jiang Guo or Bei Chu get the position of alliance leader,
Ning Guo would only become more passive from now on. He thought for a long time before he came back to his senses and turned his attention to Tang Ji again: "You are well informed, but the northwest is in chaos now. You don't know martial arts. In the past, you might have lost your little one."
Fate...let me think about it for two days, you can step back first."
Tang Ji didn't expect that when it came to this, the old emperor wouldn't agree, but he also knew that going too far was not enough, so he didn't insist on it anymore, raised his hands and bowed: "Yes, I will resign!"
After Tang Ji left, Emperor Ning rubbed his eyebrows and murmured: "You have offended many people in the court. This assassination even used a master level master. If I let you go to the northwest, it will be...
A narrow escape from death!"
...
Soon, the news spread like wildfire that Jiang State troops had sent 200,000 troops to attack the northwest of Ning State, causing waves and attracting the attention of the people in the city.
At a tea stall near the South City Gate, several middle-aged men started talking while drinking tea.
"We haven't had a few good days and we're going to fight again?"
"This time is different. I heard from my nephew who came back from the border. Previously, Jiang State always sent a team of several thousand or ten thousand people to scare people at the border. This time is different, a total of 200,000 troops!"
"Tch, isn't it just an army of 200,000? It's not like we don't have any. As long as those barbarians from Jiang State dare to come, we will let them come back."
"It's easy to say. The barbarians of Jiang State are very powerful. In addition, they also have cavalry. An army of 200,000 can easily defeat our 300,000 soldiers. We can't underestimate the enemy!"
"Hey? Why do you always like to embolden other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige!"
"..."
Just as the discussion intensified, a shout suddenly came from the city gate. When everyone turned their attention, they discovered that two soldiers in armor were pressing a young man towards the prison car.
"Master, I'm really not a bad person. My customs clearance document was lost in the inn in Muzhou..."
Seeing this scene, a man in gray clothes standing on the side of the road couldn't help but asked: "Weren't we not allowed to enter the customs without documents before? Now we have to arrest him?"
A person standing next to him said: "I heard that there has been some chaos in the city recently. This is done to prevent some thugs from sneaking into the city."
At this moment, a tall woman wearing a purple skirt appeared outside the city gate. She had a hat on her head, and the black gauze hanging around her completely covered her face. She raised her eyes and looked at the three bright red characters on the tower.
——"Kyoto City", the corner of his mouth raised slightly: "Kyoto, I'm back!"
