Chapter 324: Unprecedented and Unrivaled
Not to mention the ministers, even Ning Chen himself was a little confused.
Let him take charge of the Dragon Guard and the City Defense Army, isn't your Majesty afraid that he will rebel?
But before he could figure it out, a censor jumped out.
"Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate... Ning Yinyi has worked hard and made great achievements in the war. I have no objection to being made a marquis, but it is absolutely impossible to take charge of the Dragon Guard and the City Defense Army!"
"Your Majesty, I also think it's inappropriate. The Dragon Guard and the City Defense Army are important and cannot be easily entrusted to others. Please take back your order."
"Your Majesty, Ning Yinyi is indeed loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and has made great achievements in the war. I have no objection... But after all, he is only sixteen years old, and he has already commanded the Fire Gun Battalion and is also the Supervisory Department Yinyi. If he commands the Dragon Guard and the City Defense Army, I am afraid he will be exhausted."
"I second the motion!"
"I also second the motion!"
Emperor Xuan frowned slightly.
In fact, the ministers' worries were not wrong. Ning Chen had already been made a marquis. If he led the Weilong Army and the City Defense Army, he would be a military marquis... His power was so great that even the right prime minister had to bow down to him.
Emperor Xuan spoke slowly: "My dear ministers, you misunderstood! I let Ning Chen lead the Weilong Army and the City Defense Army... but he will not take the tiger talisman for the time being."
The ministers were silent at once.
If that's the case, then there's nothing to say?
Leading the army, but without the military talisman, Ning Chen is just a puppet.
Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, so that's it... Without the military talisman, he is a commander in name only.
But it doesn't matter, the military talisman is indeed important, but sometimes prestige is more important.
With his current prestige in the Weilong Army, he can mobilize the Weilong Army with or without the military talisman.
Seeing that no one objected, Eunuch Quan looked at Ning Chen, "Lord Ning, why don't you accept the order quickly?"
Ning Chen came back to his senses and said loudly: "Minister, thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"
Eunuch Quan walked down and handed the imperial edict to Ning Chen.
Emperor Xuan chuckled and said, "Give me a python robe!"
The Marquis of Daxuan also wore a python robe, but it was a black-bottomed silver python.
The prince's python robe was stone blue with a golden python.
The Marquis's python robe was black with a silver python.
This world may be due to the weaving and dyeing process. The lighter and brighter the color, the higher the status.
A little eunuch held a vermilion tray with a black python robe on it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Ning Chen thanked again, took the things, and then stood up.
Finally, he was made a marquis, and Ning Chen was still very excited.
In fact, he preferred the title of Champion Marquis!
His idol was Huo Qubing.
As a soldier, who doesn't want to be made a Wolf in Juxu?
But His Majesty made him a Marquis of Xiaoyao, and he couldn't change it.
The ministers looked at Ning Chen, all of them envious.
Throughout history, Ning Chen was the first to be made a marquis at the age of sixteen.
I don't think anyone will surpass his achievements in the future.
It can be said that there is no one before and no one after.
Moreover, Ning Chen was the first marquis to be conferred by Emperor Xuan during his reign.
Emperor Xuan glanced at Ning Chen, who was holding the dragon robe and smiling foolishly, and raised his lips slightly, and then said:
"Do you have anything else to report, my dear ministers?"
Li Zhixing, the Minister of Punishment, stepped out and leaned over and said: "Your Majesty! The assassination of Prince Duan a few years ago has caused a lot of uproar... I have been following your Majesty's order to investigate thoroughly and now I have found out!"
"Back then, Yan Wenbo, the former prefect of Xiuzhou, and Liu Zhichen, the magistrate of Qinghe County, were executed for corruption, bribery, and collusion with grain merchants. This was an unjust case."
"The mastermind behind the scenes was the murdered prefect and governor of Xiuzhou, and the person who assassinated them was Zi Su, the daughter of Yan Wenbo who was unjustly killed."
Emperor Xuan sighed deeply and said:
"I already know about this case!"
"A few days ago, Prince Duan submitted a memorial, and I The reason is known... Yan Wenbo and Liu Zhichen are indeed wronged. "
"I am also responsible for this matter. I wronged the loyal ministers."
Li Zhixing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty was also deceived by the treacherous."
Immediately, he continued: "Your Majesty, the Yan family and the Liu family now have one daughter each."
"The daughter of the Liu family is imprisoned in the Jiaofangsi. The daughter of the Yan family is imprisoned. Please show mercy and pardon them. "
Shen Min stepped out and leaned over and said: "Your Majesty! Although Miss Zi Su killed the prefect and the governor of Xiuzhou, she was avenging her father, which is filial piety...I think that the law is nothing more than human feelings. Please show mercy and pardon her crime. "
Li Hanru was about to step out, but saw Ning Chen gently shook his head at him.
In this matter, His Majesty has already said that Liu Zhichen and Yan Wenbo were wronged. If too many people plead for Zi Su, it will be counterproductive.
Li Zhixing is the chief officer of this case, and Shen Min is in charge of etiquette. It is reasonable for the two of them to come forward to plead for mercy.
Emperor Xuan spoke slowly: "Let me consider this matter, and I will issue an order later."
After speaking, he glanced at Ning Chen.
Ning Chen couldn't help frowning.
The matter has been investigated, and His Majesty also admitted that they were wronged... It only takes a word to vindicate Yan Wenbo and Liu Zhichen, and pardon Zi Su and Yu Die.
Why should His Majesty consider it?
Ning Chen thought for a while and roughly understood... I'm afraid the problem lies with himself.
His Majesty is worried that once Yu Die is pardoned, he will take Yu Die back to Ning Mansion.
His Majesty will not allow other women to enter the Ning Mansion earlier than the Ninth Princess.
......
After the court was dismissed.
Ning Chen walked out with the officials.
"Lord Ning, congratulations!"
"Lord Ning is a pillar of talent, and it is a blessing for my Daxuan family."
"Lord Ning is young and promising. If you have time, come to my house and have a seat."
After coming out, Ning Chen was surrounded by people.
Among these people, there are many who have previously reported and criticized him.
What's the saying? Yes, it says that when you succeed, there are good people around you.
He is now the youngest marquis of Daxuan, and he is in the limelight. These people rush to make friends and show their goodwill!
If he is lonely one day, these people will definitely add insult to injury.
There is no shortage of people who change their minds according to the situation in this world.
Of course, Ning Chen is no longer the passionate young man he used to be. He has experienced a lot and has become smooth.
He dealt with these people with a smile on his face, saying what he wanted to say to people and what he wanted to say to ghosts. He focused on not offending anyone and giving them enough face.
He finally got rid of these people and walked out of the palace.
"Mr. Ning, Mr. Ning..."
Hearing someone shouting, Ning Chen looked back and saw a little eunuch jogging to catch up.
The little eunuch ran up to him and said breathlessly: "Mr. Ning, His Majesty summons you to the Imperial Study!"
......
Ning Chen came to the Imperial Study.
Emperor Xuan pointed to the screen inside, "Go, put on your python robe and let me see it?"
Ning Chen: "???"
Fuck!!!
You called me here just to let me change clothes for you? Do you think I'm a stripper? Ning Chen complained in his heart.
"Yes!"
He complained in his heart, but on the surface he looked obedient and walked behind the screen inside.
After a while, Ning Chen changed into the python robe and walked out...I felt that the clothes were a bit big and the sleeves were too long.
Emperor Xuan looked at Ning Chen, who was dressed in a black and silver python. He was young, confident, and majestic. For a moment, he was a little dazed...If the second prince was still alive, he should be as handsome and outstanding as Ning Chen, right?
