"Are you talking about the three counties in the west?" Qian Liang asked.
"Why," he said, half jokingly and half seriously: "Is General Ren still prepared to lead his troops to quell the chaos and perform meritorious service?"
Ren Ning shook his head.
If it were really the turn of border guards like Xingluo to quell the chaos, then the whole Yunchui chaos would be huge.
This is almost an obvious way to tell the powerful neighbors around me that my house is in a mess, and you guys should come and share the pie.
"Does Your Majesty just plan to send county soldiers from other counties to quell the civil unrest?" He was very curious, "Don't you plan to find out the reasons behind the civil unrest?"
Without finding out the root cause, simply quelling the chaos is just treating the headache and treating the pain, treating the symptoms but not the root cause.
Qian Liang raised his head and stared at Ren Ning, his eyes flashing with intense scrutiny.
Before the news of the civil unrest in the three western counties reached the capital, perhaps Emperor Changxing in the palace really knew nothing about it.
But after the news broke out, the Jinlin Guards who had spent a lot of money to raise them and the supervisor Shi who traveled around were not vegetarians. Emperor Changxing probably already knew why civil unrest broke out in the three western counties.
That was done by the Queen's natal family, Cheng'enbo Mansion.
Qian's conscience was spinning rapidly.
The boy in front of him is from the Starfall Legion. Now that he brings up this topic, is it for personal reasons or is it because the Starfall Legion behind him is dissatisfied with the Queen?
Or are you dissatisfied with King Qin?
The former is easy to say, but the latter is troublesome.
Qian Liang had to be cautious.
"Master Qian is overthinking." Ren Ning laughed and spread his hands, "I'm just a small frontier guard, so I'm just asking."
"Besides, whether it's to quell a rebellion or to conquer a war, money is needed to fight a war."
He continued: "The treasury is empty now. Since someone has done something wrong, he should be punished with a fine! This is what I learned in the legion."
Qian Liang breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't the Starfall Legion's intention.
He looked at the boy in front of him, his face full of weirdness.
If you do something right, you will be rewarded, and if you do something wrong, you will be punished. This is really the thinking of a soldier who has lived in the barracks for a long time.
It would be nice if everything in Star Chronicle City were so simple.
After a long while, Qian Liang said: "I guess I will disappoint you, General Ren."
"As before, His Majesty doesn't seem like he's going to get to the bottom of things. He seems to be building momentum for the Seventh Prince, and has even issued an imperial edict to send him to quell the chaos."
Chen Xiujian?
Ren Ning nodded, picked up the teacup and took another sip.
In addition to the last time Daijun went out of the city to greet him, when he was promoted to general a few days ago, Chen Xiujian also sent people to send gifts to his residence to congratulate him.
The two of them seemed to have some friendship.
"When the chaos is over, the seventh prince, who has no roots and no foundation, should be promoted to a prince." Qian Liang said, "This will make those princes whose mother clans are powerful but have never been able to become kings envious.
"
They were just a few groups of unarmed and hungry refugees, and Qian Liang never thought about the possibility of being unable to quell the chaos.
He shook his head and said: "I guess there will be trouble in the harem again soon."
Ren Ning only knew the empress and Concubine Qing, and was not interested in Emperor Changxing's harem at all, so he chimed in with a few words.
After chatting for a while, seeing that Qian Liang couldn't sit still, he wisely stood up and left.
Before leaving, Qian Liang picked up the pair of new walnuts and pushed them to Ren Ning. He smiled and warned: "General Ren, you can try to taste it. Maybe you will find that using walnuts to sharpen your mood is more effective than drinking tea or musical instruments.
"
"It's okay." Ren Ning couldn't refuse and had to accept it, and left the House of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in a state of laughter and tears.
Qian Liang watched him leave, immediately returned to the study, and started writing the memorial again.
His hands shook as he wrote.
Tie Liang was stunned when he looked at the word "fine" written on the brochure at some point.
What a hell.
Ren Ning didn't know what happened next, so he rode Zhuifeng leisurely back home.
Entering the main hall, he casually placed the pair of walnuts on the table.
Ying Pan walked in, followed closely by brother and sister Miao Xia and Miao Dong.
"Why did my husband come back? Will your entry into the palace go well?"
"It went well. I just got home and sat down." Ren Ning smiled and nodded, his eyes falling on Miao Xia and Miao Dong behind.
These days the brother and sister eat well, wear warm clothes and don't have to worry.
Within a few days, the two of them completely changed their appearance. They looked like two different people, as if they had been completely transformed.
They were learning from Yingpan some things to pay attention to when dealing with others. At this time, they saw Ren Ning looking over and quickly said hello in unison.
"Miao Xia." Ren Ning said with a face: "Have you finished all the homework I assigned?"
"Brother, I have finished all the homework." Miao Xia smiled brightly, "Brother Lei just checked it himself."
"That's good." Ren Ning nodded with satisfaction.
He looked at the sky and said, "Let's go! I'll teach you a new lesson. How to recognize the road and identify the direction!"
After saying that, he took the excited Miao Xia and walked back to the school grounds.
After watching the two people leave, Yingpan sat down at the table, picked up the walnuts on the table and looked through them doubtfully.
"What big walnuts, why did you only buy two?"
"Sister-in-law," Miao Dong ran to the back diligently: "I'm going to get the walnut crackers."
After a while, there were two bangs, and the sister-in-law pinched the two walnuts and smashed them into pieces.
Yingpan buried her head in rummaging through the debris for a long time.
Huh.
"This walnut kernel is too small."
More than half an hour later, Ren Ning remembered the pair of walnuts, and when he came back to look at them, he couldn't laugh or cry.
"Are they for playing with?" Yingpan was a little embarrassed, "No wonder I said the nuts are so small."
"Forget it." Ren Ning comforted her, "If you break it, just break it. Walnuts that haven't been played with are just ordinary walnuts. At worst, you can just buy a new pair."
It was just a small thing, and neither of them cared about it. The couple sat down and had a good chat.
Not long after, Ren Ning frowned and said, "You are in a bad mood. Did something happen?"
"It's nothing." Yingpan smiled as brightly as a flower: "I am the biggest in the whole house, and I always speak the truth. How can there be anything that worries me?"
Jixiang came over and said angrily: "General, my wife actually has something on her mind, but she just didn't want to upset you so she didn't say anything. In fact, it's about Mr. Tiele."
She told the news that Tiele had left the tribe with a group of people and livestock, and had not been heard from since.
"Don't believe Jixiang's words," Yingpan quickly pulled the little maid and signaled her to shut up.
"My brother has grown up and knows what he is doing. Since he chose to take people away, he must have his own reasons. Maybe it won't be long before we can see a Kailun who is even more powerful than before."
Even so, worry still leaked out little by little in those beautiful eyes.
"Don't worry," Ren Ning patted Yingpan's arm comfortingly, "Big brother Jiren has his own destiny."
He thought for a while: "I will try to find some caravans who have just returned from the west these days to ask if they know what happened in Kailun."
That's all it can do.
Yingpan nodded, not holding out any hope in her heart.
Yunchui and Xiliang are thousands of miles apart, and there are three counties in between where there are civil unrest, so any news has long been cut off.
At nightfall, seeing that the palace was about to be locked up, Qian Liang, the Minister of Revenue, entered the palace again with a thick fold.
At the morning meeting the next day, before the ministers could say anything, Emperor Changxing was already furious.
He asked the imperial army to capture Cheng Enbo's two clan brothers on the spot and imprison them in the sky prison.
