After leaving Yun Xuanzi's place, Ning Chen returned directly to his residence.
Judging from the current situation, in the next period of time, as long as Ning Chen can prevent loopholes.
By ensuring that the Western Regions will not penetrate, we will have a very long window of opportunity for repairs.
Continuous battles, despite successive victories.
However, it is inevitable that people and horses will be exhausted.
Now, taking advantage of the victory, we get such a rare opportunity to make corrections.
For the soldiers of the Wu Dynasty, it was very rare.
Ning Chen can also take advantage of this opportunity to rest for a while.
Because of Liu Zhongzhi and Cao Xing's assistance.
Ning Chen can definitely be a hands-off shopkeeper.
All government affairs in the city can be left directly to Liu Zhongzhi.
Liu Zhongzhi had also been a parent official before, so Liu Zhongzhi was very familiar with the government system.
In addition, Ning Chen gave Liu Zhongzhi a very large right to handle matters independently.
It was easier for Liu Zhongzhi to use his tricks.
Ning Chen just needs a good rest.
…
The next day, Fengjing.
On the morning of the second day, there was clearly a surging undercurrent under the court.
The matter of Ning Chen being crowned king has been fermenting for a day.
It really felt like there was a lot of anger among the people.
Lin Dunxin already knew Ning Chen's decision from Wang Lin.
Just as Wang Lin judged, Lin Dunxin is a person who never puts his eggs in one basket.
This situation was also within Lin Dunxin's own expectations.
Lin Dunxin really had a plan for Ning Chen's rejection.
It's just that Lin Dunxin really didn't want to use such a plan.
Because there is such a thing as a plan, if you use one, you will lose one.
And making plans is really very energy-consuming.
At Lin Dunxin's age, it is indeed a bit too difficult for him.
Wu Zhao seemed not to notice the atmosphere below.
First, he took out the specific battle report from Cao Xing and asked Sun Banban to read out the specific battle report from Cao Xing.
This battle report was indeed written by Cao Xing, but some of the content was added by Wu Zhao at the request of Cao Xing.
So after reading the entire battle report, the people in the clan obviously discovered some highlights that made them very excited.
These two highlights are a very good opportunity for the clan members to attack Ning Chen.
After listening to the battle report read by Sun Banban, Lin Dunxin was stunned for a moment, then looked at Wu Zhao and found that Wu Zhao had also grown a lot in his political skills.
Lin Dunxin believed that such a battle report was definitely not the original battle report.
It must be the battle report written by Cao Xing after he received the instruction.
But it was this kind of battle report that very cleverly resolved the crisis caused by Ning Chen's current title of king.
Because in the battle report, Cao Xing mentioned two people in one stroke.
Wu Ang and Wu Xian.
These two are serious royals.
Although Wu Aung has obviously withdrawn from the fight for the throne, this does not hinder his status as a member of the royal family.
As for Wu Xian, who had not shown much publicity for a long time after regaining his identity.
That's also a member of the royal family.
If the two members of the royal family can share part of Ning Chen's contribution.
This is completely acceptable to the clan.
As for whether Wu Ang and Wu Xian wear the same pants as Ning Chen, that's not important.
In the eyes of many people in the clan, as long as these two people still have the surname "Wu", everything else is a minor problem.
Sure enough, after Sun Banban's battle report was read, the princes of the clan immediately stood up and asked for credit for Wu Xian and Wu Ang.
Wu Zhao, who heard this request, frowned immediately, and then said in a pretentious manner: "The battle report did mention the supporting role played by Wu Ang and Wu Xian.
However, their contribution to such a victory was too limited, and I don’t think they deserve the reward.”
On this issue, Wu Zhao would certainly oppose it.
The more Wu Zhao objects, the more people in the clan will work harder to prove that Wu Ang and Wu Xian must be rewarded.
At the same time, such a victory can also appease the fragile heart of the clan.
Let them believe that on specific issues, the power of the clan can still play a decisive role.
Lin Dunxin looked at everything in front of him, shrank his body back, and inserted his hands into his big cloud sleeves.
Quietly watching Wu Zhao alone, how to solve such a complex and difficult problem.
Upon hearing Wu Zhao's objection, the second prince quickly stood up and argued for Wu Ang and Wu Xian.
Soon more and more clan members stood up and argued for Wu Ang and Wu Xian.
In their mouths, it seemed that at least half of Ning Chen's achievements should be attributed to Wu Ang and Wu Xian.
Wu Zhao couldn't help but frown a little when he saw more and more clan members standing up.
After pondering for a long time, Wu Zhao finally relented and said: "What you all said is not completely unreasonable. Then in this time, Wu Ang and Wu Xian will be added to the list of rewards."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Upon hearing Wu Zhao's final compromise, the clan members shouted loudly at the same time.
But their expressions were as if they had won a battle that determined the fate of the country.
Little did he know that all of this had been arranged by Wu Zhao long ago.
"Uncle King Yu, if that's the case, then I'll trouble you to work harder and travel a little longer, and then I'll send the reward to Prince Ang together with you." Wu Zhao said to King Yu.
King Yu agreed to this matter very happily.
King Yu was very happy to reward his own people.
Especially with Ning Chen's strong rise, it is necessary to reward one's own people and boost the clan's confidence.
"Your Majesty, Prince Xian also needs to be rewarded as well." Someone from the clan below reminded Wu Zhao.
Wu Zhao frowned, showing a hint of displeasure, but finally said: "Okay."
Seeing that Wu Zhao was so displeased, he finally agreed to such a request.
This made many people in the clan feel once again that the clan did not have unlimited restrictions on Wu Zhao.
At the same time, Wu Zhao's series of performances obviously gave them another choice.
Wu Xian!
This prince who was once deposed.
He is also Wu Zhao's younger brother.
Because they discovered that although Wu Xian restored the throne with the support of King Jing.
But Wu Zhao still didn't seem to like Wu Xian's attitude.
And this kind of dislike made people in the clan have a lot of thoughts.
For example, they had thought about something before, letting Wu Xian replace Wu Zhao on the throne.
Wu Xian is Wu Zhao's biological brother. No matter how bad things are, Wu Zhao should not kill his biological brother.
People in the clan see things in a foggy and very one-sided way.
But on Lin Dunxin's side, he keenly sensed something unusual from Wu Zhao's actions.
However, Lin Dunxin still doesn’t know what the meaning behind this unusual thing is.
Although he was not sure what Wu Zhao wanted to do, Lin Dunxin still saw Wu Zhao's growth.
Wu Zhao's growth made Lin Dunxin feel more at ease.
After establishing his own political path, Lin Dunxin actually no longer had such intentions in controlling the government.
The more deeply he understands politics, the more Lin Dunxin understands that politics is not about control.
Lin Dunxin even sometimes wondered if Wu Zhao could really support the court by himself.
He told the truth to his old age, wrote books and lectures well, and explained political principles well to the world.
Looking at it now, he is a big step closer to retirement.
Wu Zhao's victory greatly comforted the hearts of most people in the clan.
But for the civil servants group, this is the biggest stab in the back.
They simply lost their greatest ally.
You know, last night, everyone was still in contact, discussing how to write a letter to remonstrate.
As a result, this morning, they simply abandoned them and began to fight for their own royal members.
What's more, in the eyes of many civil servants, Wu Zhao's operation was not really a clever operation.
But the method does not matter whether it is clever or not, as long as it is useful.
This allowed many civil servants to once again witness the unreliability of the clan.
The clan that had won the victory naturally ceased its activities and no longer planned to join forces with civil servants to resist Wu Zhao.
The clan is not stupid either.
Joining forces to resist Wu Zhao is tantamount to opposing themselves.
This kind of thing can only happen when Wu Zhao leaves them with absolutely no way out.
For example, in a situation like yesterday, they really had no way out.
But today the situation is different, they have a way out again.
In this case, there is certainly no need for them to oppose Wu Zhao.
The reason is also very simple.
The benefits Wu Zhao has brought to them now are really too many, too many.
The clan's prestige, honor and wealth have never been as great as they are now.
They are really reluctant to take Wu Zhao down now.
So as long as Wuzhao leaves a little way for them, they are still willing to stand on Wuzhao's side.
After all, everyone is named Wu.
If the bones are broken and the tendons are connected, the blood will be thicker than water.
Those civil servants were all foreign ministers in the eyes of most of the clan members.
It's impossible to be completely on the same page with them.
After a few clicks, the clan problem was solved, and Wu Zhao looked at the Wenchen Group.
"My dear friends, do you have anything else you would like to advise on this matter?" Wu Zhao asked calmly.
Wu Zhao asked very calmly, but every word made the civil servants feel like they had been slapped loudly.
Under such circumstances, what advice can they have?
After all, this was not how we prepared last night.
"Your Majesty, I think that since rewards are to be given, then all those who have made meritorious deeds should be rewarded." Lin Dunxin said immediately at this time.
Hearing Lin Dunxin speak, the civil servants seemed to be grasping at straws.
Everyone immediately spoke in agreement.
In their opinion, this matter is easy to understand.
Now that Ning Chen's title of king is unstoppable, the clan's ally is completely unreliable.
Then they must firmly capture as many of the middle and lower classes as possible.
Let everyone receive the reward, which will also weaken the influence of Ning Chen becoming the king.
At the same time, it can win over a wave of people's hearts.
This can be regarded as a timely stop loss.
The clan also saw Lin Dunxin's intention and immediately expressed their support for Lin Dunxin's suggestion.
Since we want to award rewards, we should award them all.
As long as Ning Chen's influence can be weakened and suppressed, the clan will support it.
However, they all only agreed with Lin Dunxin's suggestion and did not notice the eye contact between Lin Dunxin and Wang Lin.
There are formation restrictions above the court, and it is not possible to carry out spiritual sound transmission and sound transmission into secrets.
This is also to prevent officials from communicating privately and blaspheming the imperial authority.
Therefore, eye contact has become an essential skill for everyone.
As for what you can read from your eyes, this is a great test of your ability.
Although Wang Lin's ability in this area is not as good as Lin Dunxin's, he is worse than 90% of the court officials. Otherwise, Wang Lin would not be able to secure the position of military minister step by step.
Wu Zhao suppressed everyone's voices and asked Lin Dunxin: "What is the reason?"
"This..." Lin Dunxin pretended to think.
Wang Lin, who had made eye contact with Lin Dunxin for a long time, immediately stood up and expressed his position: "Your Majesty, I think that using the reason of making the champion king a king is the best reason to reward the entire army of Hezhou."
When no one could react, Wu Zhao nodded: "Okay, then let's reward the three armies of Hezhou on the grounds that the champion can be crowned king."
Wu Zhao's words were the final word.
By the time everyone came to their senses, they were no longer allowed to comment on this matter.
Everyone looked at Wang Lin with a bit of anger in their eyes.
Wang Lin made such a suggestion and gave most of the credit to Ning Chen.
Using Ning Chen as the reason for making him king, he rewarded the three armies of Hezhou.
When the time comes, the three armies in Hezhou will still be grateful to Ning Chen.
Maybe even more grateful to Ning Chen.
In this way, instead of suppressing Ning Chen's reputation, it actually boosted Ning Chen's reputation.
This Wang Lin is really too hateful.
Lin Dunxin also joined the ranks of glaring at Wang Lin.
But when Wang Lin looked at Lin Dunxin, he really felt more and more that Lin Dunxin, this old fox, was getting smarter and shrewder.
Once the matter is finalized, the next step is to implement it.
At the end of the dynasty, all the teams that were responsible for going to Hezhou to award rewards were all ready to go at the post station.
Time is tight and the task is heavy. This time we have to go to the northern border. There may be a little more time spent on the road. It is very necessary to set off early.
Now they finally know why they were not allowed to disband.
There is no other reason, because they are familiar with each other.
In order to show the prosperity of the clan, King Yu, who had just received the imperial edict of conferring the conferment, directly led the conferment team to Wu Xian's palace first.
Wu Xian, who was playing with his children at home, heard the award team arriving at his door.
Everyone was still confused.
You know best what you have done.
Apart from spending time with his children and wife, Wu Xian has never done anything else.
In this case, you can still get rewards.
Do you get the rewards of being a good father and a good husband?
Although he didn't know what the reward was, when the reward team representing the imperial court arrived, Wu Xian still had to go and greet it.
Besides, don’t give up the rewards that fall from the sky in vain.
What's more, after having a child, Wu Xian actually wanted to get more credit.
No matter how hard you try, you can do whatever you want, but you can't delay your son and daughter.
When it's time for my children to be knighted, what kind of titles they will receive will be directly related to my father's merits.
Wu Xian even thought about it. After waiting for a while, he would communicate with Ning Chen and see if Ning Chen could make arrangements and give himself some credit or something.
The awarding team arrived soon, and King Yu read out the imperial edict to award Wu Xian, as well as some of the things and achievements Wu Xian was awarding.
Wu Xian was listening to the imperial edict from King Yu below. He was confused from the beginning, but soon understood what was going on.
"Good brother, I didn't expect you to think of going in front of me." Wu Xian thanked Ning Chen deeply in his heart for being such a good brother.
Wu Xian really didn't expect that Ning Chen would even think of such a thing before him.
I just wanted to ask Ning Chen to share some of the credit, and Ning Chen directly arranged it for me.
Wu Xian felt so lucky to have such a good brother.
After receiving the imperial edict, King Yu said to Wu Xian: "Wu Xian, please select some people to join the reward team and let them go north and west with them."
This is also an arrangement that the clan feels it must have.
They just wanted to let everyone in the world know that the clan of the Wu Dynasty was not entirely dependent on Ning Chen.
The clans of the Wu Dynasty also had their own glory.
But the best arrangement in the eyes of King Yu and others was precisely the arrangement that Wu Zhao wanted them to take the initiative and propose.
Otherwise, Wu Zhao directly asked Wu Xian to send people into the reward team.
The intention is a little too obvious.
Now that the clan has taken the initiative to raise this matter, it has nothing to do with Wu Zhao.
You proposed it yourself, I was just forced to compromise.
Wu Xian thought more simply. He felt that this must be the request of his good brother Ning Chen.
This clearly shows that he intends to put the person who inserted himself into the situation to stay in Hezhou and continue to make meritorious deeds for him.
"Uncle Huang, I will send someone over now to go north and west with Uncle Huang." Wu Xian agreed immediately.
Prince Yu nodded, and then said in a gentle manner: "Where are your children?"
Wu Xian immediately replied: "The wet nurse is taking her with her."
King Yu did not ask to see them, but he took out two things from Guang Xiu: "I have always wanted to see these two little guys before, but I never had time. Come here this time and take the opportunity to see these two little guys."
Bring them the prepared birthday gifts."
Wu Xian did not doubt that he was there, so he quickly took the things, saluted and thanked King Yu, and then ordered the wet nurse to bring her children over to show the emperor's uncle.
King Yu looked at the two cute little guys, teased them for a while, and then said to Wu Xian seriously: "Since you have restored the throne, you should walk more with everyone.
Don’t shut yourself up in the house all the time. Even if you don’t think about yourself, you should think about your lovely children.”
