Chapter 445: Surrender
In a certain house in the capital, a luxuriously furnished room was in a mess.
The fifth prince's eyes were red, like a mad pig that knew it was going to be slaughtered during the Chinese New Year.
boom! ! !
A valuable vase flew out and hit the wall, shattering into pieces.
The right minister stood in a relatively safe place at the door, frowning at the crazy fifth prince.
"Even if you set this house on fire, it won't help."
The fifth prince's crazy movements froze.
He was breathing heavily, and after a while, he actually calmed down.
He picked up the chair that he had kicked over and sat down.
The fat body made the chair groan, as if it was about to fall apart.
He looked at the right minister and said, "In general, we have succeeded."
"Our purpose was to force Ning Chen to go to the southern border and disgust him at the same time, but we just failed to disgust him."
The right minister said calmly: "He does want to go to the south, but we are not forcing him to go, but he wants to go on his own."
"As for disgusting him...heh, it's us who are disgusted enough."
The fifth prince's face was grim, "I have to admit, Ning Chen's trick of using the enemy's tactics is really good."
"I have to admit that he is a qualified opponent."
"However, this time he took the initiative to go to the southern border, but it was a bad move... As long as he dares to go, there is no way he can come back alive."
The right prime minister frowned, he was always uneasy, Ning Chen was too evil.
...
Ning Chen came out of the palace and went back to Ning Mansion first. Then, riding on his beloved Diao Chan, he came to the Ministry of War.
"See you Lord Marquis!"
Ji Mingchen bowed and saluted.
Ning Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need to be polite!"
"Master Ji, how is the rebar production going?"
Ji Mingchen said: "According to the previous order of the Marquis, more than 10,000 pieces were made."
Ning Chen nodded slightly and said, "Borrow me a pen and paper."
Ji Mingchen took out pen and paper.
Ning Chen lay down at the table and started writing and drawing.
After about a cup of tea, Ning Chen stopped writing, picked it up and checked it. After making sure there was nothing wrong, he handed it over to Ji Mingchen.
"Lord Ji, I'll make ten thousand pieces within half a month of hard work."
Ji Mingchen looked at the drawings with curiosity on his face, "Master Marquis, what is this?"
It looks like clothes, but there are no sleeves.
Ning Chen smiled and said, "This is a vest."
In fact, it is a personal carrying tool, like a vest, with many small pockets on it, which is convenient for holding grenades, bullets and other things.
"Horse what?"
"Uh... forget it, just make it according to the drawing. Make sure to use strong and wear-resistant fabric."
Ji Mingchen nodded, this thing is not difficult to do.
After chatting with Ji Mingchen for a while, he came out of the Ministry of War and returned to Ning Mansion.
After lunch, he drove a carriage to the entrance of the palace.
The carriage was filled with ambrosia, which had been stored for fifty years.
When he returned home before, he had people prepare these things.
Ning Chen carried a jar of wine into the palace to meet the saint.
At this time, His Majesty is usually in the Yangxin Hall.
Arriving at the Yangxin Hall, after the announcement, Ning Chen went in with the wine in his arms.
Seeing Emperor Xuan, Ning Chen put down his wine first, then knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I surrender myself."
Emperor Xuan's expression was slightly startled, "What trouble did you get into again?"
"I have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. I come here to confess my sins and ask your majesty to forgive me."
Emperor Xuan asked curiously: "What crime have you committed to deceive the emperor?"
"I lied to Your Majesty... In fact, Xianlu wine is my property."
Emperor Xuan was shocked, "Is Xianlu wine your property?"
Ning Chen nodded, "Actually, the recipe for this fairy dew wine was provided by Zisu... It was also Zisu and Yudie's idea to open a wine shop."
"But I also provided a lot of convenience, and the money I earned went to my family...so it is considered my property."
"I can't help it. Who made me poor? Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Emperor Xuan laughed angrily, "Are you still poor? I haven't rewarded you less, right? So much money is not enough for you to spend?"
Ning Chen looked honest and said, "Your Majesty, it was originally enough, but because I want to marry a princess, it is not enough."
Emperor Xuan frowned, "What does this have to do with marrying a princess?"
Ning Chen cried, "Your Majesty, the princess has a distinguished status, and the betrothal gift cannot be ambiguous. If you give me too much, I can't afford it, and if you give me too little, I will feel guilty... Therefore, in order to collect enough dowry gifts, I can only let my family do business to make money."
Emperor Xuan said in surprise: "You can still do business?"
Ning Chen nodded, "I understand a little bit!"
Emperor Xuan was happy.
He was worried about who to leave the cooperation with Wu Guo to?
Who would have thought that Ning Chen would still be able to do business? Isn’t this a ready-made candidate?
The promotion of peace talks and trade were all negotiated by Ning Chen... Ning Chen is responsible for the cooperation, which couldn't be more appropriate.
Ning Chen looked ashamed and said: "I have no secrets in front of Your Majesty. Only this one makes me sleepless and sleepless... After much thought, I decided to confess to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to punish me."
Emperor Xuan smiled and said, "Get up, why do I think it's such a big deal? This little thing is innocuous."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Ning Chen got up and said: "In order to thank Your Majesty for your kindness of not punishing me, I will pay for the wine in the palace from now on... It will be given free of charge, no money is required."
"Your Majesty, I have brought you a cart of fairy dew that has been stored for fifty years... This wine has not yet been sold on the market and will not be sold in the future. It is exclusively for the royal family."
Emperor Xuan's eyes lit up, "Fifty years of cellaring?"
"Yes!"
Emperor Xuan smiled and nodded, "In that case, I won't drink your wine in vain... In the future, the fifty years of cellaring will be designated as royal wine and cannot be sold to the public. Wines of other years can be sold."
Ning Chen was secretly happy, he was waiting for this sentence.
The main reason for coming this time was to let Emperor Xuan know that he knew how to do business.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Emperor Xuan smiled and said, "Ning Chen, since you know how to do business, how about you take charge of the cooperation with Wu State?"
Ning Chen hurriedly said, "Whatever your majesty asks me to do, I will do it."
Emperor Xuan smiled and said, "Okay, the cooperation with Wu State will be left to you... I will have people prepare everything in advance, and you can take over directly when you return from the southern border."
"Minister, obey your order!"
"Do you have anything else to do?"
Ning Chen shook his head.
"We are about to go to war, take a good rest these days!"
"Yes, I will take my leave!"
Coming out of the Yangxin Palace, Ning Chen walked out of the palace with a step that did not recognize his relatives.
"My Lord, My Lord..."
Hearing the shout, Ning Chen looked back and saw Eunuch Quan and two imperial guards chasing behind.
Ning Chen stopped and looked at Eunuch Quan who was approaching, and joked: "Old Quan, why do you look like you are here to arrest me? If you don't know, you would think I have committed a serious crime."
Eunuch Quan raised the imperial edict in his hand, "My Lord, are you going back to the Supervisory Office?"
Ning Chen thought for a while, "Is this the edict to pardon the deposed prince?"
Eunuch Quan nodded.
Ning Chen smiled and said, "Old Quan, wait for me at the palace gate, I will call the Ninth Princess, she will definitely be very happy to know that the deposed prince has been pardoned."
Eunuch Quan smiled and nodded, "My Lord is thoughtful!"
