Ning Chen heard Wang Lin's words and said very unconcernedly: "I just want to share some of the credit. In our relationship, this is a trivial matter. I will ask Cao Xing to take credit for the Huwei Army later."
Hearing what Ning Chen said, Wang Lin was a little embarrassed to mention that Ning Chen would delay his claim to the throne.
Ning Chen really regarded him as one of his own, but at this time, he actually hoped that Ning Chen would slowly become king.
Although it is indeed a bit unreasonable to do this by himself, Lin Dunxin's analysis is very reasonable.
Wang Lin also had to give Ning Chen such advice.
Seeing that Wang Lin was silent, Ning Chen said in a deep voice: "Old Wang, although we have a good relationship, you can't be too greedy. I'll just give you some credit."
Wang Lin couldn't tell whether Ning Chen was joking or serious. Hearing Ning Chen's deep question, Wang Lin quickly denied it: "You misunderstood, Mr. Champion. I'm not here to share the credit. I have other things I want to do."
Discuss with Mr. Champion."
"What's the matter?" Ning Chen looked at Wang Lin's coquettish look and knew that Wang Lin probably had something serious to do with him, so he stopped teasing and asked seriously.
Wang Lin hesitated for a moment, but finally said: "I have discussed with the Prime Minister to see if you, Lord Champion, can postpone the title of king."
Ning Chen really didn't expect that Wang Lin would make this request.
However, Ning Chen is not the kind of brainless person, and he will not become brainless and furious because of this problem.
Based on Ning Chen's understanding of Wang Lin and Lin Dunxin, these two people are not his enemies.
They may have other difficulties in making such a request at this time.
"Tell me the reason." Ning Chen said quietly this time.
This time Wang Lin could really hear Ning Chen's suppressed unhappiness.
Wang Lin immediately stopped hesitating and told Ning Chen everything that Lin Dunxin had analyzed for him.
"I think the Prime Minister's analysis makes some sense, and it will only be a matter of time for you, the champion, to be crowned king.
There is not much time left until we can fully turn to the battle with the barbarians.
At that time, both the clan and the civil servants might be asking you, the champion, to be crowned king."
After Wang Lin finished speaking, he waited for a long time but did not receive a reply from Ning Chen.
Ning Chen didn't reply, and Wang Lin didn't dare to say anything rashly.
At this time, just wait for Ning Chen's reply.
After a while, Ning Chen finally said: "Although what you and Lin Dunxin said makes sense, I refuse to postpone the title of king."
Hearing Ning Chen's answer, Wang Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not scary to be rejected by Ning Chen. What Wang Lin is afraid of is that Ning Chen doesn't even bother to explain to him and directly rejects his proposal.
If this is the case, it means that Ning Chen already hates him.
This is the most dangerous thing for Wang Lin.
"If you refuse, Mr. Champion, leave all matters in the court to me and Prime Minister Lin.
At the imperial court, we will do our best to fight for you, the champion."
Ning Chen had clearly expressed his rejection, and Wang Lin did not make any further persuasion.
He directly chose to stand firmly on Ning Chen's side.
Wang Lin didn't persuade him any more, leaving Ning Chen with a lot of things to do.
"The court will trouble you two." Ning Chen said politely.
Wang Lin quickly expressed his position: "Master Champion, you are speaking harshly. These are matters within our scope."
After a pause, Wang Lin continued: "And I believe that old fox Lin Dunxin must have already thought about the registration that you refused, Mr. Champion.
This old fox never bets everything on one thing.
He must have already thought about filing.
So Mr. Champion, you don’t need to worry too much about things in the court.”
Ning Chen expressed his position easily: "I do believe what you said."
"Political prime ministers can play both sides, and they have endless backup options. I've seen it before."
Wang Lin also joked with Ning Chen: "This old fox is like this, no matter what he does, he always holds back his possessions."
Wang Lin chatted with Ning Chen for some more time, and the time was up.
The time for the Tiger Talisman came, and the communication between Wang Lin and Ning Chen was interrupted.
After the conversation with Wang Lin ended, Ning Chen sat in the hot spring pool, enjoying the massage from the four girls, while thinking about what Wang Lin said.
Ning Chen didn't carry four little girls on his back in everything that happened just now.
Ning Chen can still trust these four little girls.
Seeing Ning Chen thinking, no one of the four little girls disturbed him, they just massaged and relaxed Ning Chen wholeheartedly.
To be honest, Ning Chen was never a political expert, not to mention that he had been away from the court for a long time.
So Ning Chen really didn't know much about what was going on in the court.
Ning Chen had never thought about the side effects that being crowned king would bring.
However, Wang Lin's words gave Ning Chen a wake-up call.
Lin Dunxin's concerns are obviously not unreasonable.
He and Wang Lin can accept a strong female emperor, but that doesn't mean that the clan and civil servants can too.
Especially now that Wu Zhao and himself have really brought the concentration of imperial power to a peak.
This undoubtedly greatly reduced the space for those civil servants to exert themselves.
For the clan, it was even more of a disaster.
If Wu Yan and Wu Yu really start a civil war at this time, it may really be a disaster of not a big deal for the Wu Dynasty.
Although Ning Chen believes that he and Wu Zhao can definitely survive this civil war by joining forces.
But Wu Dynasty will inevitably suffer some losses.
Especially when one's own people beat one's own people, it really makes the relatives angry and the enemies happy.
After thinking for a while, Ning Chen decided to listen to Wu Zhao first and see what Wu Zhao planned to do.
"Okay, you guys go and have a rest." Ning Chen stood up and came out of the hot spring pool.
Xia Zhu and the other four knew that Ning Chen had something big to do, so they agreed and then exited Ning Chen's room.
After the four little girls quit, Ning Chen opened his own high-end chat group.
There is absolutely no problem in discussing such matters directly with Wu Zhao in the group.
Prince Jing will definitely not care about this kind of thing.
Civil war or not, Prince Jing doesn't care.
As long as the emperor's surname is still Wu, it will be fine.
Marquis Dingguo wanted to take charge, but Prince Jing would definitely not let Marquis Dingguo take charge.
My teacher Kong Jijiu definitely looked down upon this kind of civil war.
Therefore, such matters must ultimately be resolved by Ning Chen and Wu Zhao themselves.
The group chat was opened, and Ning Chen called Wu Zhao directly.
Wu Zhao, who was correcting the memorial, felt Ning Chen calling him and entered the group chat.
"What do you want from me?" Wu Zhao asked bluntly.
"Wang Lin just told me something. I thought it was necessary to tell you. I think what Wang Lin said makes some sense..."
Then Ning Chen told Wu Zhao what Wang Lin told him.
Sure enough, when Ning Chen finished speaking, no one from Prince Jing or the other three expressed their opinions.
Just like Ning Chen's previous analysis and speculation.
The status of these three people is such that they can no longer look down on such low-level internal fighting.
What's more, the outcome is obvious, and it really can't arouse any interest among the three people.
After Wu Zhao heard what Ning Chen said, he didn't show any disturbance.
"This should be the result of the Prime Minister inciting the Prime Minister to talk to you." Wu Zhao saw through the mastermind of this matter at a glance.
Ning Chen laughed twice and said, "I originally wanted to take some credit for Wang Lin, but I didn't expect you to see through it at a glance. You know them both better."
Wu Zhao directly ignored Ning Chen's last low-end rainbow fart: "Wang Lin's knowledge in official circles is still slightly inferior to Lin Dunxin.
Wang Lin might be able to figure this out after a while.
But Lin Dunxin may have seen this step long before it happened and calculated it."
"Do you think highly of Lin Dunxin? If Lin Dunxin knew this, he would be very happy." Ning Chen continued to say relaxedly.
Ning Chen paused for a moment and said, "But listening to what you said, you should have already thought about the possible consequences of this incident.
It seems that I have been worrying too much, you should already know how to solve this matter."
Wu Zhao put the last memorial in the pile of corrected memorials on the table: "I plan to give some of your credit to Wu Xian and Wu Ang."
After hearing Wu Zhao's words, Ning Chen immediately understood Wu Zhao's plan.
Wu Zhao planned to use Wu Xian and Wu Ang to contain Wu Yan and Wu Yu.
By the way, Wu Xian, the future emperor, can be corrected.
As for how to divide the credit, Ning Chen himself had already thought about it for Wu Zhao.
It just means that Wu Xian and Wu Ang provided Ning Chen with a lot of logistical support.
Such a huge contribution should be given a little bit to Wu Ang and Wu Xian, plus their status as two royal clan members.
If the credit goes to them, it will definitely be magnified many times.
At the same time, this kind of thing is definitely a scene that the clan would like to see.
"You want to share the credit with me, why didn't you tell me before?" Ning Chen pretended to be angry and asked Wu Zhao.
"How can you bother with such a thing? Wu Xian's throne is still unstable. You have made so many contributions, but you don't think you want to give Wu Xian any points."
What Wu Zhao said was obviously filled with complaints.
However, Ning Chen recalled carefully and found that he had indeed been negligent in this matter.
He is the one who wants to marry Wu Zhao.
Wu Xian, his brother-in-law, would be the one to replace Wu Zhao on the throne in the future.
But even though Wu Xian has regained his identity, his presence in the clan or in the court is very low.
Wu Xian very much needs credit to help him improve his status.
But Wu Xian was in the capital, and there were very few opportunities to make meritorious deeds.
If Ning Chen didn't take the initiative to share the benefits with him, Wu Xian might not be able to make any great achievements in his life.
Wu Xian has no merit, which means that Wu Xian is far away from the throne.
Without being able to ascend the throne, Wu Zhao would not be able to be with him legitimately.
If you think about it this way, it is reasonable for Wu Zhao to be angry.
Ning Chen laughed and said, "I did neglect this matter. This time, Wu Zhao arranged for more people from Wu Xian to be included in the reward team.
After they arrive, I will just leave them all with me.
When there is another opportunity to make a contribution, I will rush forward with them to finish it off.
This ensures that Wu Xian can accumulate meritorious service as quickly as possible."
Wu Zhao snorted and said that he would arrange this matter.
After the last baptism of earthy love words, Wu Zhao is now more and more relaxed.
Anyway, except for Ning Chen, everyone in the group can be said to be his elders.
These elders have watched them grow up.
If he interacts with Ning Chen a little too much, these elders will treat him as invisible.
"Do you have anything else to do?" Wu Zhao asked after a while.
Ning Chen thought for a moment and realized that he had nothing else to do, so he took the initiative and said: "I have nothing else to do. You can continue to approve the memorial. Don't criticize it too late, and pay attention to rest."
"Yeah." Wu Zhao agreed again with his nose, and then left the group chat directly.
Ning Chen glanced at Dingguo Hou, who had been watching the excitement, and left the group chat without giving him a chance to gossip.
Since Wu Zhao has a countermeasure, Ning Chen doesn't have to worry.
After stretching his muscles, Ning Chen also walked out of the room.
Looking at the nearly full moon hanging high in the sky, Ning Chen left the city lord's palace in one step and turned to look around Baijia City.
Ning Chen is very opposed to curfews.
Therefore, there is no curfew in Baijiacheng.
However, the absence of a curfew does not mean that the defense of Baijiacheng is lax.
In Baijia City, there are city defense troops patrolling the city at twelve hours.
Especially here in Fangshi, inspections are more intensive.
The nightlife without curfew is also very popular among the citizens of Baijiacheng.
Because of Ning Chen's management, Baijiacheng was considered a very wealthy class in the entire Wu Dynasty.
Having money but no place to spend it is also a painful thing for city residents.
Ning Chen turned around and came to where Yun Xuanzi was.
Yun Xuanzi felt something in his heart and immediately left the room and appeared in front of Ning Chen.
"Chief Ningyuan, have you taken any action?" Yun Xuanzi asked.
Ning Chen shook his head and said: "No action, just what I told the Taoist Priest before, I have already told His Majesty.
Your Majesty agreed with my opinion and allowed you, Taoist Master, to observe it before deciding whether to accept the Taoist property of the Changsheng Tao Sect."
In fact, Ning Chen had already received Wu Zhao's consent for this matter the day before yesterday.
However, Ning Chen did not tell Yun Xuanzi immediately.
If he said it right away, it would only make Yun Xuanzi feel that the matter would be solved too easily.
Things that are easy to solve will not be valued and appreciated by others.
After delaying for two days, Yun Xuanzi would definitely think that Ning Chen must be helping him fight these days.
Sure enough, after hearing Ning Chen's words, Yun Xuanzi directly bowed his hand to Ning Chen and said, "Thank you very much, Chief Ning Yuan, for your mediation."
Ning Chen quickly supported Yun Xuanzi and said, "Taoist Master, you're welcome. Taoist Master has done a lot for me in Baijiacheng. It's my honor to be able to help Taoist Master solve such a small matter."
What follows is a business exchange between the two.
After both parties received fifty big votes each, Ning Chen also found a reason to leave.
