The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

Chapter 137 The Battle of Southern Border

The emperor once again went to the Palace of Dispensing Fragrances to discuss with your concubine whether Ning Shan could instigate rebellion.

The ex-queen's current concubine patiently enlightened him, trying to persuade him to send Ning Shan to southern Xinjiang as soon as possible.

The noble concubine who wanted to avenge the country's annihilation had quietly joined the line of King Beijing and sent a letter to King Dongping through him, intending to set up an ambush in southern Xinjiang to destroy Ning Shan in one fell swoop to avenge her blood.

Of course, King Beijing and her are only in a transactional and cooperative relationship, and he doesn't intend to pay attention to her hatred at all.It's just that this woman was a queen in Qianxiang Country after all, her brains are not bad, and her ideas are also feasible. There are several people on hand who were sent to Daxing earlier, and they are said to be loyal now. You don't need to consume the dark forces in your hands.

As the only one of the four kings who is at the level of a military adviser, King Beijing Jing likes to kill with a knife the most.Ning Shan's power is getting bigger and bigger, which means that their four kings and eight public interest groups can get less and less benefits. When Ning Shan first returned to Beijing, he still wanted to win over his Beijing King, but now he is quickly The expanding forces are deeply threatening, and they are already planning to take the opportunity to kill him, so that the original distribution of benefits can return to a balanced state.

Ning Shan, as a new force that broke the original balance of power, naturally knew that there would be people who disliked him and wanted to assassinate him.Therefore, in the past two years or so, he has also secretly instigated some second-class people who did not have the upper hand in the original interest groups—such as Shi Lao San Shi Ding in the four major families, and the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment. His servants, as well as some mid-level and low-level officers in the imperial army who are famous as the deputy commander, but were suppressed by the upper peak because of their poor background, these seem to be of low grade, but they actually hold power This person is the main object he wins over.

Unlike Beijing King and others who are used to looking above the top and only take the upper-level route, Ning Shan's years of experience in the army let him understand the strength of the middle and lower levels when they are united.Moreover, it is very simple to attract such people, as long as they can see the benefits they can hope for after overthrowing the people who are oppressing them.

People's potential is unlimited, and ambition is unlimited. No second in command likes to be the second in command for a lifetime. After grasping this psychology, Ning Shan can make a large number of people automatically stand behind him without any effort.Because Ning Shan is the best example of climbing up from the bottom. After losing Lord Ning, the Ning family has long since fallen out of the ranks of the first-class families in Beijing and become third-rate or even fourth-rate.However, Ning Shan can still bring herself back to the high position in the temple. With such an inspirational role model, people will automatically gather around him without promoting it by herself.

This is something that King Beijing and the others would never have thought of and would never have thought about. The Emperor and the Supreme Emperor only saw the six books, the commanders of the army, and ignored the juniors of the third, fourth, or even fifth and sixth ranks below them. officers.Because of their negligence and indifference, Ning Shan was able to easily attract enough crowds, allowing him to gain the upper hand in the head-to-head confrontation with King Beijing Jing without having to stand out.

For example, the trip to southern Xinjiang, which King Beijing strongly opposed, succeeded more than half as he wished.

In the end, the emperor was still suspicious and did not dare to let Ning Shan gain such a large military power. Regardless of the coquettishness of the new favorite concubine, he ordered to transfer back the king of Dongping who was still struggling in northern Xinjiang, and ordered him to bring his own army. Eight hundred miles hurried back to southern Xinjiang, still guarding his old base.

King Bei Jing thought that this would cut off the possibility of Ning Shan going out again, and he was very happy, but he didn't know that Ning Shan was even happier.King Dongping was transferred away because of his lack of merit for a long time in the northern border, and his status in the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in the northern border plummeted. When he left in such a dishonorable way, there was no obstacle for General Li to take over the forces in the northern border.

As for the navy, it was built by Ning Shan from the beginning, and now it can only be used by Ning Shan.

Therefore, Ning Shan's initial goal was not in the southeast, but in Ping'an Prefecture in the southwest.

Because of the abolition of the crown prince, Prince Xianyizhong's conspiracy in Ping'an Prefecture has become a forbidden place in the hearts of the two emperors, and no one who is not winking will take the initiative to mention it.However, Ping'an Prefecture is located in a fortress. Although it is not close to Beijing, it takes half a month to go back and forth with a fast horse, but it produces a large amount of iron ore, and the people are tough. There are private iron ore and private knives everywhere, which is very convenient for hiding. Soldiers among them.As a general, Ning Shan has been coveting the place for a long time, and she had no excuse to go there to check it out. Now that the King of Beijing and the King of Dongping are working hard to interfere and refuse to let him lead troops to go out, it is simply impossible to find an excuse like suppressing bandits. It couldn't be easier.

So, shortly after King Dongping returned to his fief, when he was preparing for his revenge, the "frustrated" Ning Shan proposed to go to the southwestern Zhongzhou area to suppress the bandits.Both emperors could see the "depressed" and "indignant" written on his face, out of "appreciation" and "relief" for a famous general, they agreed with almost no objections.

Jia Amnesty took advantage of the situation and interjected, and begged the Supreme Emperor to marry Princess Yinghua if Ningshan succeeded in suppressing the bandits.

The emperor was very dissatisfied with Jia Amnesty's approach of only seeking the Supreme Emperor but overstepping him, but the Supreme Emperor was very happy, Jia Amnesty only looked for him and ignored the emperor.Out of this childish mentality that is worse than children fighting for toys, the Supreme Emperor readily agreed to Jia Amnesty's request.

Ning Shan took the time to reward Jia She with an encouraging look of "You are very good and useful". After all, without knowing his secret plan, Jia She can still seize every opportunity he can and get the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. return.Ning Shan told herself in her heart that if she could get some good things in Ping'an Prefecture this time, she would have to increase the share given to Jia Amnesty.

Going to suppress the bandits doesn't need too many troops, so Ning Shan's proposal to take only the forbidden troops there as a training exercise was unanimously approved.A group of young generals who are willing to take refuge in Ning Shan set off happily. Ning Shan's purpose is to take them to Ping'an Prefecture. While clearing the gangsters who are too obstructive to people's livelihood, they are exploring the distribution of military fortresses and iron mines in Ping'an Prefecture. The third is to re-brainwash and arm this team. In the future, no matter whether it is placed back in the Forbidden Army or stays in Ping'an Prefecture, it can be used as a surprise soldier. strength.

So far, Ning Shan still has no plans to overthrow the two emperors. After all, although they are a bit of a jerk, they did not disturb the people too much.Therefore, Ning Shan has always been wary that the two emperors will one day "fly away and the good bow will be hidden", and it is just a secret plan for herself and the Jia She family who can't give up at any time.

Amidst the complacency of King Jingjing, Ning Shan set off with about half of the young Imperial Guards.

Jia Amnesty bid farewell to the eldest son at the "Ten Mile Pavilion" in tears, and started tormenting the second son and his wife as soon as they got home.Because the famous "God of War" Ning Shan finally got the approval to get married.

After defeating the Qianxiang Kingdom, successfully protecting the safety of the West Sea coast, and exterminating several powerful bandits in Ping'an Prefecture, and returning to the court triumphantly, in the third month, the two emperors issued imperial edicts but it was too late. Princess Yinghua, who had been procrastinating and refusing to marry her, was finally able to enter the newly rebuilt Duke Protector's Mansion.

As the organizer of such a large wedding, Sister Feng expressed her great honor and exhaustion.

After all, she is the only one among the female family who is qualified and able to arrange this marriage - especially when Princess Yinghua has no female family to help.

Mrs. Xing voluntarily gave up the opportunity to show up. As the son born to her first wife, Ning Shan also appreciates Mrs. Xing's knowledge and sense of humor - what if she comes out on such an occasion?In comparison, Jia Amnesty was a little overwhelmed, bouncing around and almost sat down on the parent's seat—thanks to Jia Lian's quick brains and quick reactions at the last moment to hold him back.

Princess Yinghua worshiped a lot of tablets as soon as she entered the door—from the old Ninghou couple to their three sons who died in battle before they could get married, and Ningshan’s mother, Jia Ning, who died young—every day. Everyone has to kowtow three times and bow nine times.Seeing the princess she had raised kowtowed and turned dizzy, Nanny Hua, who was a little staggering even when she got up, was very worried. This was a blow to the princess by the son-in-law.

Facts in the future will prove that all of this is just that she has been worrying too much.

Princess Yinghua entered the ancestral hall on the second day of her wedding. This time, she still had to kowtow and bow nine times, but her name was written on the Ning family tree, so this kneeling was very worthwhile in the eyes of Madam Hua and she couldn't wait. After all, this is one of the signs that the princess she raised has finally grown up - if she enters someone else's door now, she will be able to enter someone else's grave in the future.

Jia Shen's brain was slow to react, and he came back to his senses only on the third day - he didn't have a role to show for the elder son's marriage, and he wouldn't call him grandpa when he gave birth to a big fat grandson - and then he faltered.Mrs. Xing coaxed her for a long time and didn't get over it, so she had to throw the blame on Jia Lian and Sister Feng, urging them to go back and have a baby in front of Jia Amnesty, regardless of gender, at least to make the master feel better.

Rao is as thick-skinned as Jia Lianfeng's sister, who was also blushed by these words, and was so embarrassed that as soon as she got out and went back to the room, she hurriedly asked for Qiao's sister to be hugged by Jia Amnesty.

Holding the heavy granddaughter in her arms, Jia Sheila's long face finally shortened a little.The shortening was even shorter after Princess Yinghua returned to the door—or in other words, after returning to the palace.

On that day, Ning Shan sent Princess Yinghua into the palace to greet the Supreme Emperor, and she also went to Daming Palace to salute, but did not go to see the Emperor.Instead, he turned around and went to the door of Ronghou Mansion, urging Jia She to take Yingchun and move back—Princess Yinghua had never learned how to be a housekeeper, and the palace people brought out by her side, except those who brought her up from the bottom Nanny Hua and Ning Shan don't trust any of them, nor will they use them.

Therefore, the role of welcoming the Spring Festival has become more important than ever - Princess Yinghua has only passed through the door for less than three days, and the inner house of Duke Huguo's mansion is already in chaos like an ant's nest.

Yingchun was a little too trembling for the fact that she was about to live under the rule of a princess—Princess Yinghua never stepped into her own princess mansion since she left the palace, and she would not be able to enter the Duke Huguo mansion directly. She moved - for this reason, Ning Shan had to agree with her to bring her two little sisters - Lin Shi and Xichun into his mansion, as a spiritual pillar to accompany her.

Princess Yinghua showed admirable indifference to Lin's appearance—although Madam Hua was very worried about whether this person would be the princess's potential future rival in love—her confidence and reliance on Yingchun made Yingchun even more Frightened, after all, there is no new daughter-in-law in this world who, as soon as she heard that someone would help her manage the house, she felt relieved and stuffed the keys and account books into the other person's arms, and entrusted her with a flat tones without ups and downs. Heavy duty: "This home will be handed over to my sister, and by the way, my mansion next door will also belong to you. You can do whatever you like."

Seeing the crumbling Yingchun under the pressure of a large pile of ledgers, Ning Shan thoughtfully provided a plan for reference: "You can have someone connect my mansion with the princess mansion next door, as long as the side wall Just open a door, so that it will be more convenient for you to come and go to take care of the affairs."

Yingchun was dumbfounded, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses: "Big Brother, Your Highness the Princess is joking, why don't you take it seriously, how can there be any reason for me to take charge of the affairs of the Princess Mansion?"

Princess Yinghua's iconic emotionless voice sounded again: "If you don't care, throw it to someone else. As long as you don't return it to me, feel free." Saying this, she tilted her head slightly and looked towards the corner where she was hiding. , Daiyu and Xichun, whose highest goal is to be inconspicuous, glanced at them, and they felt as if a basin of ice water had been poured on them——Princess Yinghua's icy aura was fully open, and the truth is not something ordinary girls can bear .

Ning Shan was very satisfied with Princess Yinghua like this - he didn't expect such a beautiful story of love at first sight in this world. It is much easier and realistic to marry a daughter-in-law who meets his own requirements than marrying a daughter-in-law who meets his own wishes many.

Princess Yinghua's cold personality, which she developed because of being neglected all the year round, is very suitable for a military general like him who is determined to be in the world. If he married a man who started crying and crying against the wind before he got on his horse, he would have had a headache long ago.

Or marrying a daughter-in-law who is ambitious and talented, who is in charge of causing trouble behind his back, that will also be a hindrance.For example, in the early days, Sister Feng, the sister-in-law who dared to lend money behind the back of his second brother Jia Lian, arranged lawsuits, and even nearly killed her. How many times have Wang's people been impeached?

Or if you marry a submissive, you will only be angry, and you will not be angry if you are wronged. You only know that it is not good to go home and cry.For example, the Lin family that my sister mentioned before, is a person who only knows how to swallow how many grievances he has, and turns into tears and hides in the bed by himself.Princess Yinghua's straight-forward personality, who can choke someone to death with a single word, and can suffocate people to death without saying a word for a few days, can just help the silly father go to the second room and Mrs. Shi's family, so that he doesn't have to worry about going out on his own, silly Dad is going to be angry again.
