Chapter 181 If It Is Useful, Tell Me!

Ning Chen rubbed his knee quietly.

His eyes accidentally fell on the two lines of poetry behind Emperor Xuan.

A man of letters can bring peace to the world with his pen, and a man of martial arts can decide the fate of the world with his horse.

This was what he said when he was flattering Emperor Xuan, but he didn't expect that Emperor Xuan would frame it and hang it here.

Suddenly, he tried to squint his eyes to look at the signature, because he seemed to see his own name.

Ning Chen kneeled to present to His Majesty the Great Emperor Xuan... When he saw the signature clearly, Ning Chen felt uncomfortable. When did he kneel to present?

Fuck! ! !

Too shameless... Ning Chen silently complained in his heart.

Although Emperor Xuan's eyes were on the memorial, he kept looking at Ning Chen with his peripheral vision.

Noticing Ning Chen's small action of beating his legs, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Eunuch Quan lowered his head, with a look of gloating in his eyes... I don't know why? Seeing Ning Chen's aggrieved expression, he was very happy!

After a while, Ning Chen's knees hurt so much that he couldn't stand it.

"Your Majesty, can I get up? My legs are numb."

Eunuch Quan was shocked. This guy is so brave.

Emperor Xuan glanced at him, "Get up when you want to. I didn't ask you to kneel."

Ning Chen said, "Oh", stood up tremblingly, rubbed his knees, and beat his legs, "Your Majesty, can I have a chair? I can't stand."

Eunuch Quan's mouth twitched, what else do you want to do?

"Quan Sheng, give him a seat."

Everyone in Quan Sheng was dumbfounded...Isn't this too spoiled?

"Yes!"

He moved a chair over.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After thanking him, Ning Chen sat down quickly because his knees hurt too much.

Emperor Xuan put down the memorial and looked at Ning Chen, "Next time you do something, report to your superiors."

Ning Chen lowered his head and said pleasingly, "I obey your order!"

"Ning Chen, I plan to let you be responsible for receiving the Nanyue delegation, don't let me down."

"Ah?"

Emperor Xuan said in a deep voice: "Nanyue is a vassal state of my Great Xuan, but it is developing rapidly now. In the past one or two years, it has repeatedly made usurpation moves, which is testing the bottom line of my Great Xuan."

"In addition, in the past one or two years, because of the boundary issue, the two countries have had many frictions, and my Great Xuan soldiers have suffered frequent defeats, which has made Nanyue more arrogant."

"This time, Nanyue sent an envoy to My Great Xuan split the Hundred Miles Corridor in the south to the Kingdom of Nanyue... Now in the court, some people advocate peace, and some advocate war. What do you think? "

Ning Chen frowned and sneered: "Is the Kingdom of Nanyue usurping power? It is clear that they want to ride on my Great Xuan's head and shit and pee."

"I have a plan to solve this problem!"

Emperor Xuan's eyes lit up, "Tell me about it."

Ning Chen said seriously: "Send those soft bones who advocate peace to the south to fight, and let the pro-war faction be happy first... After they are all dead, the pro-war faction will go up, and the combat effectiveness will definitely increase dramatically."

Ning Chen was not just talking, he had a ghost idea in his mind.

Your Majesty wanted to make him a marquis, but these bastards obstructed him in every possible way... If they dared to delay his brilliant future, don't blame him for being rude.

It is obviously unrealistic to send these people to the battlefield, but it is absolutely no problem to trick them!

Of course, this plan can only be implemented when the right time is found.

Emperor Xuan's expression froze slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Emperor Xuan frowned and said, "Be serious, I'm talking to you seriously."

Ning Chen said seriously, "I'm serious!"

Emperor Xuan couldn't stand it any longer, "Quan Sheng, take him away and punish him with thirty strokes of the cane."

Ning Chen was dumbfounded.

He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I have another plan."

Emperor Xuan raised his lips slightly, "Tell me!"

Ning Chen said, "Doesn't the Nanyue Kingdom want to turn over and become the master? Then fight them and beat them into grandsons."

Emperor Xuan frowned, "Is this your plan? Nanyue is now strong and powerful. If we fight, our Great Xuan will not get any advantage?"

"It's just a small country. Our Great Xuan has many talented people and many soldiers and generals. In terms of economy, it completely crushes the Nanyue Kingdom. In terms of the army, it is several times that of the Nanyue Kingdom. ..The soldiers in the southern border have only suffered a few defeats, and their morale is low, which has led to a fear of fighting. "

"As long as we can win a battle, we can regain our confidence... Nanyue is mainly composed of infantry, and cavalry and archers are not outstanding."

"I have recently invented a new firearm, called a cannon... It is a hundred times more powerful than a musket, and it can explode a large area with one explosion. The range can reach one or two kilometers, and it is devastating to infantry. "

"Whoever offends my great Xuan will be punished even if he is far away!"

Ning Chen's words were sonorous.

Emperor Xuan's eyes lit up, staring at Ning Chen, "Really? You really made that cannon?"

Ning Chen nodded, "But it's just a prototype now, and I haven't had time to experiment yet."

"Okay, okay..." Emperor Xuan stood up excitedly, "Ning Chen, just go for it, I fully support you!"

Ning Chen nodded, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Those who offend my Great Xuan will be punished even if they are far away! Well said... If everyone in the Great Xuan has such backbone, how dare the bandits invade my Great Xuan?"

"Ning Chen, you are really a lucky star sent to me by God!"

Emperor Xuan was very pleased, "Ning Chen, if you can solve the problem of Nanyue... I will grant you and the Ninth Princess a marriage."

Ning Chen's expression suddenly froze.

How can this be called repaying kindness with enmity?

"Uh... Your Majesty! I am still young, and the Ninth Princess is only fourteen years old. I just want to make achievements and serve Your Majesty until my death. I have no plans to start a family for the time being."

Emperor Xuan's face turned dark and he looked around. He couldn't hold it back anymore, so he picked up a memorial and threw it at Ning Chen.

"Goddamn it, how many times has it happened? My daughter is so disgusted by you? It's a good thing that Huai'an helped your two brothers to plead for mercy... Quan Sheng, drag him down for me and give him thirty punishments with a cane."

Ning Chen dodged the flying memorial and complained in his heart... I am very grateful that the Ninth Princess interceded for my two brothers, but I also beg for the Ninth Princess's elder brother.

Emperor Xuan said angrily: "Asshole, you still dare to hide?"

Ning Chen smiled bitterly and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, calm down! I have no intention of disliking the Ninth Princess."

"The Ninth Princess has a noble status, was born to be the king of the country, and has such a straightforward and lovely personality... Who am I? Who has the right to dislike the Ninth Princess?"

"It's just that I come from a rural background, behave rudely, and hate red tape the most... If I marry the princess, I will definitely be negligent and make the princess unhappy."

"As the saying goes, everything will be prosperous if the family is in harmony. If the house is full of chickens and chickens, how can I share your Majesty's worries with peace of mind and die exhausted?"

"Your Majesty, I am not worthy of this, but the Ninth Princess deserves better!"

Emperor Xuan stared at him without speaking.

Although everything Ning Chen said seemed to make sense, he always felt that Ning Chen disliked his daughter.

In fact, Ning Chen didn't despise the Ninth Princess, but he was annoyed by the red tape and various rules of the royal family.

Emperor Xuan asked calmly: "Are you sincere?"

Ning Chen looked serious and said, "I don't dare to deceive Your Majesty. I am sincere in every word... I have a character like this. If it weren't for Your Majesty's favor, I would have died eight hundred times."

"If the Ninth Princess marries me, and if His Majesty is angered one day, it would not be a pity for me to die, but if the Ninth Princess is implicated, I will die without peace of mind."

Emperor Xuan's face softened a lot, and he felt a little proud in his heart... He said to him, "You kid, do you still know that it is because of my favor that you can live till now?"

"Since you know your own character, you should avoid arrogance and impatience in the future and avoid making me angry."

"But it's rare that you think about Huai'an. I blame you wrongly... In fact, Huai'an has a cheerful and lively personality, and there are not so many red tapes."

"Okay, it's a troubled time right now. We'll discuss this later."

Emperor Xuan waved his hand and said.

He paused and spoke again: "Ning Chen, hold on tight to that artillery... I will ask the Minister of War to fully cooperate with you."

“Remember, like the musket, all the parts are built separately and then assembled.”

"If you have a way to defeat South Vietnam, I will grant you the title of Marquis...then the ministers will no longer have any reason to obstruct it."

Ning Chen hurriedly leaned over and said, "I obey your order!"

Hahaha... If he defeats Nanyue, he will be the first marquis named by Emperor Xuan, and the youngest marquis in Daxuan.

Idol, I'm almost catching up with you, Ning Chenxin said... His idol is Huo Qubing!

"Okay, go down and get ready. The South Vietnamese delegation will arrive in a few days... I will ask Li Hanru, the president of the Hanlin Academy, and Shen Min, the minister of etiquette, to assist you. If you don't understand anything, just ask them."

"Yes, I resign!"

Ning Chen walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "Your Majesty, can I ask your father-in-law for a favor?"

"What's the deal?"

"this..."

Emperor Xuan said: "What is this or that? If you have something to say, just tell me."

Ning Chen said: "I would like to ask my father-in-law to help me find some herbs. I went to several medicine shops but couldn't find them. I thought there must be some in the palace."

"Herbal medicine? Where are you injured? Or are you uncomfortable somewhere? Let me ask the imperial doctor to take a look at it for you?"

Emperor Xuan's eyebrows were filled with concern.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am not injured or feeling uncomfortable in any way."

Emperor Xuan hummed and said, "Quansheng, go and get it to him."

"Slave obeys the order!"

Eunuch Quan looked at Ning Chen and said, "Mr. Ning, write down the herbs you need and we will help you get them."

Ning Chen took out the prescription and said, "I have already written it down. Please help me to take it. It doesn't take too much."

Eunuch Quan twitched the corner of his mouth, "Take the medicine at 180?" Are you planning to eat it?

When he took a look at the prescription handed over by Ning Chen, he froze... How many herbs were these? It is densely packed with at least dozens of species.

Emperor Xuan was a little curious, why did Ning Chen need to take so many medicines?

"Bring it over and let me take a look."

Eunuch Quan quickly sent the prescription to Emperor Xuan.

Emperor Xuan glanced at Ning Chen, "What disease does this prescription treat?"

Ning Chen smiled and said: "Back to Your Majesty! This prescription is not for curing diseases. I got it from a person in the world. It can be used internally or externally... It is said that it can make people full of qi and blood, full of energy, and full of vitality."

"I'll try it first. If it's really effective, Your Majesty can take it too."

Emperor Xuan couldn't help but laugh at him, "You also believe what the charlatans say."

"Your Majesty, this man is not a charlatan...According to the old madam of Jiaofangsi, this man came to Jiaofangsi and didn't get out of bed for ten days. He changed a dozen girls. That's called a fierce one. The reason why he stayed at night It was this prescription that kept Yushu from being shot. Afterwards, he had no money to pay the bill, so he..."

Ning Chen was talking excitedly when he heard Eunuch Quan cough a few times.

Eunuch Quan was completely speechless. This guy... said nothing in front of His Majesty.

Ning Chen smiled awkwardly, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I made a mistake!"

Emperor Xuan stared at the prescription in his hand, his eyes shining slightly.

When he was middle-aged, he had no choice. When he first ascended the throne, he could still favor a woman every night. Later, he was busy with state affairs, and as he grew older, his health was getting worse day by day.

Thinking about the last time he went to the harem, it was more than ten days ago.

"Quan Sheng, go get medicine for Ning Chen."

"Yes!"

After Eunuch Quan left, Emperor Xuan looked at Ning Chen, "Ahem... Ning Chen, if this medicine is useful, tell me."

Ning Chen was stunned, and then he laughed.

Emperor Xuan blushed, "Shut up!"

Ning Chen hurriedly lowered his eyebrows and said pleasantly: "If it works, I will tell your majesty."

Emperor Xuan hummed.
