Wang Lin's toughness was naturally due to the renewed strength of the Huwei Army.
Not only has it become stronger, but it is now also linked to luck.
This is remarkable.
The Fu Guards, who had previously been looked down upon,
Not only was it renamed Huweijun,
Now it has suddenly become a piece of cake.
Everyone wants to take advantage of the Dianfu Guards.
Except Ning Chen.
Fortunately, Wang Lin was busy with these matters and had no intention of discussing it with Ning Chen.
It should be that the last time Ning Chen blocked Wang Lin's news, Wang Lin was afraid of Ning Chen, fearing that Ning Chen would block his news again.
Wang Lin is not looking for Ning Chen, and Ning Chen is happy and free.
As soon as the time is up, Ning Chen can lie down and gain 10,000 reputation points.
Time passed day by day, and besides going to court every day, Ning Chen basically went home and listened to the four little maids singing.
There was no way, Wu Zhao's Enke lasted too long this time.
We are all looking forward to the New Year, but it is not over yet.
Lanxiang Pavilion can only continue to close its doors and thank guests.
Although Ning Chen didn't participate much in the collection of Dingjun's poems.
However, as the right minister of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites.
Many things must go through Ning Chen.
In fact, it's not a difficult matter. It just requires Ning Chen, the leader, to sign.
And regardless of the leader Ning Chen, he can only be ranked number three.
But the document is not small at all. All the documents were signed by the Minister and Zuo Shilang. After signing, Ning Chen signed last.
People who don't know, may think that Ning Chen is the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites.
Only those who know know that Ning Chen is too lazy to bother reading those words, so he has to wait for the minister and others to finish signing before signing. In this way, he doesn't have to read it and can just sign directly.
More than ten days passed in this way, and another day came to an end.
Wang Lin caught up with Ning Chen and pulled Ning Chen down from the Ministry of War.
When Ning Chen came to the Ministry of War again, he found that the Ministry of War was different from the last time he came here.
Not to mention a new look, at least it is thriving.
Many damaged objects and furnishings have been replaced.
The people in the Ministry of War were all in high spirits.
Some people are significantly fatter.
Obviously, during this period, I was treated to a lot of food.
Officials from the Ministry of War who had no one to pay attention to in the past have now become popular with the Huwei Army.
"I'm here, the Minister of War. Let's talk about it if anything happens. I have to have lunch when I get home." Ning Chen said to Wang Lin.
Wang Lin said: "Master Ning, I asked you to come here this time because I want everyone to sit together.
Think about the entire process in detail.
You should also listen and see if there are any mistakes in what we said."
Ning Chen understood that the feelings were intended to put him, the right minister of the Ministry of War, in the perspective of an outsider.
Let the people in the military department see if there are any flaws in their plan.
I thought that I, the right minister of the Ministry of War, had become an outsider.
Ning Chen was a little angry.
But after looking around, it seemed that he was really an outsider, because Ning Chen glanced at him.
I actually didn't recognize more than 70% of the officials from the Ministry of War in the room.
But all the officials from the Ministry of War were very enthusiastic and respectful towards Ning Chen.
They are not stupid, of course they understand.
If the Ministry of War can be strengthened, who has the greatest credit?
Without Ning Chen, they would not be as glorious as they are today.
And whether he can have greater glory in the future, he also depends on the military strategists in Ningchen's hundreds of academies.
"I have met Lord Ning!"
"Be polite, be polite!"
"Your Majesty..."
"Old man, hurry up and forgive me."
From the door to the position of his right servant, Ning Chen dealt with these enthusiastic military officials all the way.
Ning Chen clearly felt the sour energy in Wang Lin who was following behind him.
"Everyone, please sit down. Stop standing." Ning Chen raised his hand to indicate.
"Master Ning, please sit down first," everyone said.
"How about you sit down first, Prime Minister?" Ning Chen looked at Wang Lin and said.
"Master Ning, please take a seat first. Everyone is grateful to Master Ning for your contribution to the Huwei Army." Wang Lin said jealously.
"Bing Xiang said so. The Huwei Army can regain its glory. It is the result of everyone's joint efforts. Let's do it together. It's not a problem to stand like this all the time, right?"
In the end, it was Wang Lin who said: "Everyone, please sit down."
Although Wang Lin said so, everyone still waited for Ning Chen to sit down before they sat down.
"Okay, Master Ning is here, let's get started." Wang Lin greeted and asked Zuo Shilang to start explaining the entire process.
Because Ning Chen did not participate in the design of the entire process, Ning Chen had no feeling about the process.
There was just one thing that made Ning Chen feel a little inappropriate, because during this process, he actually needed to travel.
And the place we went to was not too close to Fengjing City.
"I have a question, why are we going to Jingshan City?" Ning Chen asked after Zuo Shilang finished speaking.
Wang Lin personally explained to Ning Chen: "Master Ning is unaware of something. This matter is related to the history of the Imperial Guard."
Next, Wang Lin told Ning Chen the history of the Fu Wei Army.
Jingshan City is the place where the Fuwei Army was glorious, but also the place where the Fuwei Army declined.
The Jingshan Prefecture Guards were the strongest Prefecture Guards when the Prefecture Guards were at their peak.
Jingshan City was originally the ancestral home of King Jing’s lineage, and the Fuwei Army was originally the family generals of King Jing’s lineage.
At that time, King Jing's lineage relied on the imperial guards and followed the Taizu of the Wu Dynasty to conquer the south and the north to establish the Wu Dynasty.
After the establishment of the Wu Dynasty, the imperial guards from King Jing's lineage stayed to protect the Wu Dynasty and the human race.
King Jing took a group of cavalry alone and went to southern Xinjiang to fight against the barbarians.
Because of Prince Jing's relationship, the imperial guards of that period had a very high reputation and prestige.
But later, the demon tribe used a small force to make a surprise attack on Jingshan City.
As a result, no one was aware of this so-called strongest imperial guard force.
When the demon tribe broke through the city, these imperial guards were still sleeping soundly.
Although it was later confirmed that it was a dream demon that caused the palace guards to fall asleep.
But that still couldn't wash away the shame of the Fu Guards.
After all, it was the strongest of the imperial guards, and yet they were so unbearable.
From that moment on, the Fu Wei Army was gradually marginalized.
From prosperity to decline, and then from decline to failure.
Then it continued to decline for so many years.
The Fuwei Army has always had a tradition of inheritance.
For example, Wang Lin, the ancestor of the military minister, was the imperial guard passed down from generation to generation.
These people who have been willing to serve as Fu Wei for generations are all people who are loyal to Fu Wei and have a complex with Fu Wei.
Otherwise, with Wang Lin's talent and learning, he can definitely go to the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Husbandry, and the Ministry of Punishments.
However, he worked hard towards the Ministry of War step by step, in order to make the Fuwei Army flourish again.
Now this opportunity has come, so Wang Lin hopes that the Huwei Army can start again from Jingshan City.
Ning Chen actually resists business trips.
But this is the complex of the guards of other people's houses, and it is also their inheritance.
Besides, everyone is so enthusiastic about Ning Chen.
It was really hard for Ning Chen to refuse.
So Ning Chen had no choice but to agree.
"If the military minister is like this, I have no problem.
Based on this distance, we should set off the day after tomorrow at the latest.
Your Highness, has the Minister of War spoken to you about this matter again?" Ning Chen asked.
Wang Lin said: "Not yet. I think our Ministry of War should unify our opinions first and then explain this matter to His Highness Wu Zhao."
He looked at the way Wang Lin looked at him.
Ning Chen understood immediately.
Wang Lin was worried that if he disagreed, it would mean Wu Zhao disagreed.
At this moment, Ning Chen felt that he was offended.
Even if Wang Lin wanted to take revenge on himself, he felt that he was more popular in the Ministry of War than him, the Minister of War.
I feel that I will give Wu Zhao a piece of advice.
But first, Wang Lin must have the ability to send himself to Wu Zhao's pillow.
Then I thought about it, anyway, this time, I mainly wanted to make soy sauce.
Therefore, Ning Chen doesn't have to compete with Wang Lin.
After everything was settled, all the officials of the Ministry of War, big and small, dispersed to do their own things.
When all these people are gone, only Wang Lin and Ning Chen are left.
Wang Lin directly took out the memorial he had prepared a long time ago and said to Ning Chen, "Master Ning, let's jointly submit the memorial together."
Ning Chen directly wrote his name with a stroke of his pen.
Ning Chen has signed the most signatures these days, so he doesn't care about this one signature.
Wang Lin left with Ning Chen, but Ning Chen went home while Wang Lin went to the palace to present a memorial.
We must leave for Jingshan City the day after tomorrow, so we cannot delay this matter.
Sure enough, the next day, Wu Zhao told the court what Wang Lin proposed.
Wu Zhao naturally agreed to Wang Lin's proposal.
Moreover, Wu Zhao said that on the day of the Dingjun poem, he would also lead hundreds of officials to Jingshan City through the teleportation array to watch the ceremony.
As for the officials of the Ministry of War, they can leave immediately and go to Jingshan City to handle all the etiquette procedures of Dingjun Poetry.
The reason why Ning Chen and the others need to rely on walking is not the teleportation array.
It is actually a bit expensive to open the teleportation array once.
With Wu Dynasty's current foundation, there is really no way to open more teleportation arrays.
Therefore, Ning Chen and other officials from the Ministry of War had no choice but to leave early.
Ning Chen, as the right minister of the Ministry of War, naturally has to accompany him.
Those responsible for escorting were half of the 800 guards of Dongning Prefecture.
Li Ziqiu also got the opportunity to accompany him during the Yuezhou War.
It is more than two thousand miles from Fengjing City to Jingshan City.
For the sake of speed, Wang Lin stipulated that everyone must ride on horseback and not ride in cars or sedans.
For Ning Chen, who is used to riding horses, riding such a bumpy ride is really a bit uncomfortable for Master Ning.
Fortunately, the scenery along the way was pretty good.
Especially for Ning Chen, who left Fengjing City for the first time after time travel.
The original natural landscape will still make people curious and pleasing to the eye.
At least it won't make Ning Chen feel so bored on the road.
Five days later, Ning Chen and his team arrived at Jingshan City.
If Jingshan City is divided according to normal administrative divisions, its size can only be regarded as a county town.
However, there was a King Jing here, which gave Jingshan City a different meaning.
Therefore, even though Jingshan City is a county-sized city, all the city guards are highly equipped.
The city guard of Jingshan City is not the county magistrate, but the governor.
At the same time, there is still the Fuwei Army in Jingshan City, which is now the Huwei Army.
As soon as Ning Chen and his team arrived, Jingshan City's Huwei Army and Jingshan City's Governor were already waiting at the city gate.
Naturally, Ning Chen didn't have to worry about the red tape in the officialdom.
However, Ning Chen found the gate of Jingshan City a bit interesting.
"This place seems to have been in the past. It's not called Jingshan City." Ning Chen looked at the city gate, which had obviously been changed later, and said to Li Ziqiu beside him.
Li Ziqiu replied: "Yes, head of the hospital, this place is indeed not called Jingshan City.
This place was originally called Jingkang City.
Take the meaning of health and happiness.
At the same time, it also expresses respect for the lineage of King Jing.
I want to show that it is the lineage of King Jing that has brought peace and happiness to this city."
Ning Chen nodded: "Then it was later changed to Jingshan City because of that defeat?"
Li Ziqiu replied again: "That's right. After the defeat that year, it was inappropriate to use the word Jingkang again.
Calling him Jing Kangcheng again would be an insult to Prince Jing.
I originally planned to call it Jingshang City, but I also thought it would be offensive to Prince Jing."
When Li Ziqiu said this, Ning Chen understood why it was called Jingshan City.
This is a homophonic joke.
This will cost you money.
After everyone entered the city, they were arranged into the post house.
Wang Lin didn't care about the tiring journey and started arranging work directly.
There is no other way, there are still more than ten days to finalize the Dingjun poem.
Wang Lin had no time to rest.
All officials from the Ministry of War were busy as per previous arrangements.
The most idle ones are Ning Chen and Li Ziqiu.
Ning Chen simply wasn't assigned any work.
Li Ziqiu was not originally from the Ministry of War, so why did Wang Lin have the nerve to assign tasks to Li Ziqiu?
The governor of Jingshan City came over to visit Ning Chen.
By the way, I arranged a guide for Ning Chen so that Ning Chen could easily visit Jingshan City.
Originally, Ning Chen planned to visit Jingshan City, the people's entertainment projects and the construction of spiritual life.
But I heard that Jiaofangsi and Goulan in Jingshan City were all on temporary rest because of the Dingjun poems.
Ning Chen no longer wanted to visit Jingshan City.
Jingshan City is just a county town, even if there is a King Jing.
It has always been a high-end situation, but it is still a county town.
No matter how prosperous it is, it cannot be as prosperous as Fengjing.
So Ning Chen just stayed in the post house and waited for the final settlement.
Ning Chen and Li Ziqiu were almost the only ones in the huge post house.
Wang Lin and the others almost always leave early and come back late, and Ning Chen doesn't know what they are busy with.
I have no interest in thinking about what they are busy with.
"Have you been invited by the head of the hospital, the Ministry of Rites, to compose military poems for the Huwei Army?" A few days later, Li Ziqiu suddenly asked Ning Chen while eating.
Ning Chen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "No. But I was originally the right minister of the Ministry of War. The Ministry of Rites invited me to be the right minister of the Ministry of War. Don't you think it's a bit strange?"
Li Ziqiu frowned and said, "I hope I'm overthinking it."
"What are you thinking about?" Ning Chen asked.
Li Ziqiu said: "Head of the Court, I feel that some people in the imperial court are deliberately trying to separate you from the imperial guards."
Ning Chen was stunned again, and then said with a smile: "You think I am too busy and don't go out to work with people like the Ministry of War every day, so you feel like this, right?"
Li Ziqiu nodded.
Ning Chen asked back: "What do you think I can do as a person who has never participated in the discussion of Dingjun's poetry collection?
Before Wang Lin wants me to do anything, he must first explain to me the causes and consequences of this matter.
With this skill, Wang Lin can even finish the work himself."
After hearing Ning Chen's words, Li Ziqiu said, "It seems that I really overthought it."
Ning Chen asked back: "Why do you think they want to separate me from the Huwei Army?
The Huwei Army can be restarted because of me,
I also proposed the Huwei Army’s reform plan.
Whether the Huwei Army can develop rapidly in the future depends on the military strategists."
Li Ziqiu said: "It is precisely because of the head of the hospital that he has left such a deep imprint on the Huwei Army.
That's why I'm worried that some people may think that you, the president of the hospital, have too much influence on the Huwei Army.
That’s why I don’t want you to write this Dingjun poem.”
After hearing Li Ziqiu's point of view, Ning Chen said, "Do you think someone will be worried that I will become the next Marquis of Dingguo?"
Li Ziqiu shook his head and said: "Head of the Academy, they won't be worried if you just become the next Marquis of Dingguo.
Some people may be worried that you, the head of the hospital, have become more troublesome than Marquis Dingguo."
What Li Ziqiu said is not wrong.
With his current reputation, if he really becomes like the Marquis of Dingguo, he will have a lot of troops.
That will indeed keep a lot of people awake at night.
Ning Chen felt that there would be such worries.
But associating this worry with Dingjun Shi, Ning Chen felt that the officials might not be so free.
In their eyes, I may be considered a bit of a poet, but how should I put it?
Composing poetry is still a very high-end and elegant thing in their eyes.
As for famous sayings throughout the ages, in their eyes, they only come by chance and must not be used often.
So Ning Chen really felt that Li Ziqiu's worries were a bit unnecessary.
The two of them stopped discussing the matter.
However, in the next few days, the post house and Jingshan City were very lively.
Because people from all over the country who were preparing to write Dingjun poems gathered in Jingshan City.
Not only the great scholars from Yunshan Academy, but also some scholars from semi-sage families in Luanzhou and some other academies, all gathered in Jingshan.
Facing the temptation of luck, few people can remain calm.
Not to mention that Wu Zhao directly ordered Jiuding and everyone came to compete for luck.
If you join Emperor Shun and succeed to the throne, your luck will be directly determined.
There will be some people who are willing to come and work to share some luck.
Luck can only be condensed through the actions of the country.
This matter had already been decided when the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors established the Jiuding.
The reason for this setting is to allow human beings to gather together.
It won't be like a piece of scattered sand, which will be defeated by the barbarians one by one when the time comes.
Therefore, if you want to share your luck, the most direct and effective way is to contribute to the country and the human race.
The setting of Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors is exquisite, whether from the perspective of the family, country, or the human race.
Among the great scholars from all over the thirteen states, no one came to see Ning Chen.
However, the first thing the captains who came to Jingshan City from various prefectures did was to come and pay homage to Ning Chen.
In the eyes of all the captains of the Huwei Army, Ning Chen is just like Prince Jing who founded the Imperial Guard.
Back then, it was Prince Jing who asked the imperial guards to leave their name in history. Today, it was Ning Chen who allowed the Huwei Army to regain its glory.
Therefore, no matter where the captain of the Huwei Army came from, the first thing he did was to pay homage to Ning Chen.
And Ning Chen also found out through them.
It was impossible for all the government guards from each of the thirteen prefectures to come, so they had to send representatives.
But the entire process of Dingjun Poetry will be shown to all the guards through formations.
In other words, the entire process will be broadcast live.
