"Your Majesty, Li Wenquan did not send troops to support the border pass even after you issued several orders. He obviously has the intention of rebellion. If he joins forces with the Jiang people to besiege the border pass, not only will the army be in danger, but the cities in the northwest may fall into the hands of the Jiang State.
We can’t delay it any longer, and I hope your Majesty will issue an order to have the original Chinese army advance westward immediately!”
In the palace, a white-haired veteran anxiously persuaded Emperor Ning who was sitting above him.
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of generals also stood up one after another.
"Marquis Changping is right. Your Majesty, if we don't send troops again, it will be over for Li Wenquan and his 100,000 troops to surrender to the enemy!"
"I second the proposal and hope that your Majesty will send troops as soon as possible."
"Second..."
Ning Huang, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked a little pale and haggard. He took a deep breath and raised his hand to signal to Bai Chang.
Seeing this, Bai Chang immediately shouted loudly: "Quiet!"
When the palace became quiet, Emperor Ning continued: "I understand what you all love, but have you ever thought about whether it was the original Chinese army that arrived in the northwest faster, or Li Wenquan who led the army to attack the border faster?
Once troops are sent out rashly, the situation in the northwest will become even more chaotic, which will give Jiang Guo an opportunity!"
Hearing this, the generals who stood up were stunned on the spot. After a moment, Changping Hou, who was standing in front, waved his sleeves lightly: "But it's not a problem to waste it like this!"
Just at this moment, the Star Guard soldiers wearing armor rushed in: "Report! Good news for Yingzhou!"
In an instant, all the officials present showed doubts. Yingzhou is now in chaos and danger. How can there be any good news?
Emperor Ning raised his head, his eyes shining brightly.
The soldier clasped his hands in his fists, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Tang Ji, the envoy of the Tingxi Protectorate, and Su Qing, the captain of the Yunxiao Guards, sneaked into Yingzhou in your Majesty's name, successfully recaptured the Tiger Talisman from the traitor Li Wenquan, and regained control of the camp.
Li Wenquan of the state army hanged himself on the spot, and all the remaining rebels have been taken into custody. After the army has been reorganized, it will soon go to the border to help fight against Jiang Guo's army."
After hearing his words, the originally quiet civil servants' ranks were like a frying pan.
"Tang Ji? Didn't he go back to Huaizhou to visit his relatives? Why did he go to the northwest?"
"I just said something was wrong with that kid. He ran to Huaizhou and never came back. Su Qing also said that he was following the army to the border. There is indeed something wrong!"
"But, what's going on with the Tingxi Protector's Mansion? How did Tang Ji become the military envoy?"
"..."
In the midst of everyone's doubtful discussion, Emperor Ning suddenly stood up from his seat: "Hahaha, okay, okay, Tang Ji and Su Qing really did not disappoint me. Now that the army of Yingzhou has been recaptured, all my dear friends have also
You can put your heart back in your stomach, as for the Tingxi Protectorate..."
Then, he briefly explained the reasons for establishing the Protectorate.
After hearing this, the officials had mixed feelings. Some were happy for Tang Jicai, while others felt that it was inappropriate for Tang Jicai to be promoted from a ninth-rank official to a third-rank official less than a year after he entered the court. But
For a moment, I didn’t know how to object. After all, the other party single-handedly took back Yingzhou and an army of 100,000 people. If this was the case at the founding of the country, he would be able to become a marquis!
Li Qin, who was standing in the front, frowned slightly. He felt something was wrong when he heard that Tang Ji returned to Huaizhou before, and sent people to investigate. Now it seems that the Xingchen Division arranged a substitute. Unexpectedly, the scourge actually ran away.
He went to the northwest and once again made great achievements. If he comes back, it will definitely be more difficult to deal with him in the future!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his eyes to Emperor Ning who was sitting on the dragon throne.
Li Xian gritted his teeth. He hadn't heard this name for a long time. He thought that the boy was dead, but he didn't expect that the boy would make a surprise move again!
Emperor Ning swept away the haze in his heart and put a smile on his face. He was about to say a few more words on this matter, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly felt weak all over. Then his vision went dark and he fell on the dragon chair.
"His Majesty!"
"His Majesty!!!"
...
Only half a day later, the news that Emperor Ning was unconscious in the Golden Palace spread throughout the city. Fortunately, after being treated by the imperial physician, he was no longer seriously injured. The people became concerned about another thing, that is, "the most talented man in Ning Kingdom"
Tang Ji married the princess of Xian'an in Yingzhou City in order to get close to Li Wenquan.
At a tea stall in the east of the city, several men were discussing excitedly.
"Master Tang is too brave. He sneaked into Yingzhou City alone. If he is found out, he will die!"
"There are indeed risks, but if you succeed, you will get a lot of rewards. First, you will be promoted, and you will also marry the princess. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, the daughter of a traitor will probably be a concubine, and the princess will be a concubine.
Just asking you, who can do it?"
"No, I heard that Mr. Tang is not married, so Princess Xian'an is the main wife."
"Where did you hear this? I heard that Mr. Tang has not married the princess yet, but he has already made her pregnant!"
"But I heard that Tang Ji has someone he likes. The word 'Ji Ranju' is taken from the girl's name. How could he marry someone else?"
"..."
At this moment, a little girl with braided braids stopped, dropped the pastry in her hand to the ground, quickly trotted to a few people, and asked in a deep voice: "Tell me, who is Mr. Tang in your mouth?"
"
There was a man who met the little girl in front of him who was still pretty. He was about to reach out his hand to tease her, but his wrist was twisted directly. He screamed in pain: "It hurts, it hurts, girl, let go quickly, I say, I say."
, it’s Mr. Tang Jitang!”
Hearing this, Jiu'er frowned, showing a ferocious look. Instead of letting go, he increased his strength: "You dare to slander my uncle, you want to die, right? I will go to the government to find someone to arrest you now.
!”
Needless to say, Tang Ji's reputation in the city was undeniable, and there were countless women who admired him. Several men immediately thought that Jiu'er was the personal maid of a lady from a wealthy family. The man whose wrist was twisted did not care about the pain.
, shook his head suddenly: "Girl, we are not talking nonsense. This matter has been spread throughout the city. It is better to ask your young lady to stop waiting and find a better family. Of course, Mr. Tang is young and promising. If
It’s not impossible to want to be a concubine.”
Jiu'er gritted his teeth and said angrily: "You are the one who wants to be a concubine, my lady will not be a concubine!"
After saying that, she let go of her hand and trotted towards Ji Ranju. She didn't forget to turn around and take the cakes with her after taking a few steps.
When the men saw her walking away, they looked at each other and left in a hurry, planning to change places to chat again.
Jiuer ran all the way, and when he arrived at Ji Ranju, his cheeks were already covered with tears.
Seeing this, Ye Zheng, who was guarding the gate, asked in confusion: "Miss Jiu'er, what's wrong with you? Who bullied you?"
"None of you men are good!" Jiu'er looked at him and said nothing before rushing into the house.
Ye Zheng wiped the saliva from his face and shrugged helplessly.
After entering the mansion, Jiu'er ran all the way to the backyard, and finally found Jiang Ran leisurely sitting on the swing reading a book, and walked over with a pout: "Miss, uncle, he..."
But before she could speak, Jiang Ran took the lead and said with a soft smile: "My uncle doesn't want your young lady anymore? Or maybe he has a new love outside? Or maybe he married the princess of Xian'an?"
"Miss, do you know everything?" Jiu'er threw the pastries on the table next to her, ran to hug her shoulders, and quickly comforted her: "Miss, don't worry about it, let's leave now and never come back.
, let that heartless man never find you again, and let him regret it for the rest of his life."
Jiang Ran chuckled, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve to wipe her tears, and then said: "I believe him, but we really need to pack things. I plan to go to the northwest to find him!"
"Miss, you?" Jiu'er was at a loss for a moment.
Jiang Ran pursed his lips: "Hey, there's nothing I can do about it. He's too good and people always care about him. I have to go to the northwest to guard him to prevent him from being snatched away!"
