Chapter 141: Oiran Conference
In the current situation of Great Xia, the two princes are both people who have to be careful, and either one of them may mutiny at any time, so they have to guard against it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
He had seen a third prince, and he had also been to the Lingyan Pavilion related to the Ten Princes, and found that the water behind it was even deeper than he had imagined.
"Did you go to Taili Si and find out anything?" said the eldest grandson with a calm face.
"There are no definite clues, and the tone of several principals is very tight, but the death of the city lord of Yingcheng is very untimely, and it must be related to a certain prince or the third duke" Ning Chen said in a deep voice.
"Who do you suspect?" asked the eldest grandson, narrowing his eyes slightly.
"Ten Princes"
Ning Chen Zhengse replied, this is the situation that can be seen now, Xi Yugong supports the Ten Princes, and the former Taili Division Master is a person from the Ten Princes' side, and Xia Mingri's suspicion is difficult to get rid of.
The eldest grandson frowned and said, "Be careful, the third prince and the tenth prince should continue to woo you, don't let go easily."
"Don't worry, I know what to do," Ning Chen said calmly.
The eldest grandson nodded, feeling that there was nothing to ask, he took out a golden carved dragon token from his arms and threw it on the bed, and explained, "This is the talisman of the Dragon Guard Battalion, put it here for you, if there is any wind and grass, you decide for yourself"
Ning Chen was slightly shocked, looking at the token on the bed, a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
The forbidden army in the imperial city is different from other armies, even if he is a martial marquis, he cannot be easily mobilized, and the privilege of the 100,000 army of the martial marquis has never included the most elite 330,000 forbidden army.
The eldest grandson gave him the talisman of the Dragon Guard Battalion, which was equivalent to entrusting him with his net worth and life, because more than ninety percent of the forbidden troops on duty in the palace were soldiers of the Dragon Guard Battalion.
"There is only the Longwei camp in the hands of this palace now, and the remaining three battalions are in the hands of Ziyi, if there is anything you need to discuss with Ziyi, this palace is a woman after all, and it is impossible to hold the military power for a long time, so I will leave it to you, rest assured that this palace is relieved"
The eldest grandson said calmly, although his voice was soft, it gave Ning Chen an incomparably heavy pressure.
"Niangniang, aren't you afraid that I will rebel?" Ning Chen said with a wry smile.
"This palace is still alive, you don't have the guts," the eldest grandson replied lightly.
“……”
Ning Chen was helpless, well, he really didn't have the guts, no matter whether the eldest grandson had military power or not, it was the same.
"Since you have been swept in, don't shrink back, something happened, there is this palace around, as long as this palace is still alive, no one in this imperial city dares to touch you"
"Okay, I'm going back to the palace, there are still a lot of things in the palace, so I don't have time to stay here longer"
When the words fell, the eldest grandson got up to leave, and when he left the house, he paused slightly and said calmly, "The cake is good, I have time to go back to the palace to teach lime how to make it."
Lime glanced at Ning Chen, who was still kneeling on the bed, her eyes flashed with a complicated color, and she immediately stepped forward to follow.
The two left, walking so freely, leaving Ning Chen alone, speechless for a long time.
Mingyue sat at the table, quietly watching the bad guys think silently, and didn't dare to go up and disturb.
"Niangniang, the burden you gave him is too heavy" Out of the Zhiming Hou Mansion, Lime looked slightly worried and spoke.
These rights may be an unattainable honor for others, but for Ning Chen, they are just a burden.
"This palace knows it," the eldest grandson sighed softly.
This is the most difficult moment in Great Xia, these days, she has felt seriously powerless, although Ziyi is trustworthy, but too upright, now, she can only trust Ning Chen.
She knew very well what kind of person Ning Chen was, she didn't have the confidence to keep him by her side all the time, so she could only give him the things in her hand as much as possible, and how long she could keep them.
All she could keep was trust, not power.
In the Beimeng camp, Fan Lingyue sat in the tent and pondered, quietly thinking about every step of the deployment in the future.
Beimeng needs to cherish time, after all, this is Great Xia, and the longer it drags on, the better it will be for Great Xia.
No matter how smart a wise man is, he can't be like a god in everything, and what he needs to grasp most is not every detail, but the general trend.
The later Great Xia's internal troubles erupted, the more time Great Xia had to catch his breath, in other words, the more severe the situation in Northern Mongolia became.
She needed to do something to make the decision-makers in Great Xia nervous.
"Love is worry-free," Fan Lingyue said.
"In" is worry-free in the account, kneeling and saluting.
"Send someone to secretly contact the third prince of Great Xia, just say that this military division wants to talk to him," Fan Lingyue ordered.
He was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "What if he refuses?"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter to us whether it's successful or not, you just need to send someone over, if he refuses, continue to send someone to talk," Fan Lingyue instructed.
"Yes"
With no worries and left, with a little puzzlement in his heart, he still didn't understand ~ what the military advisor meant by this move.
Fan Lingyue got up, came to the front of the tent, and silently looked in the direction of the Great Xia Imperial City, today is Mingyue's birthday, is she doing well.
"Ahem"
Suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, Fan Lingyue covered her mouth and coughed lightly, a little blood overflowed, dripping down her palm.
"Your body won't be able to resist for long"
I don't know when, Du Chengxue walked in front of the handsome tent, dressed in white, and her beautiful face was as calm and indifferent as before.
"Out of the way"
As she spoke, a look of exhaustion flashed in Fan Lingyue's eyes, no matter what, she had to hold on, she had already hit here, and she couldn't fall short.
"That Ning Chen is very powerful, you have to be careful," Twilight Chengxue reminded calmly.
"Heh" Fan Lingyue smiled tiredly, and after a while, she asked slowly, "Twilight Chengxue, I have always been curious about something, since you remember everything, why did you forget him alone?"
Ning Chen chased after Sword City, she already knew, and in this world, she rarely knew that the person who assassinated Emperor Xia was Du Chengxue, coincidentally Ning Chen entered the palace at that time, and the acquaintance of the two was logical but unbelievable.
Twilight Chengxue's expression still did not change, and said lightly, "Unimportant things naturally don't need to be remembered, there is nothing to be curious about"
Hearing this, Fan Lingyue smiled slightly, and didn't ask any more, what happened between them didn't matter to her, the important thing was that now Du Chengxue represented Sword City, and that was enough.
In this world, anyone can surrender to Great Xia, but Sword City is impossible.
Therefore, she can still maintain her trust in Twilight Chengxue and Sword City.
Knowing the fate of the Hou's Mansion, since the eldest grandson left, Ning Chen did not leave the mansion for two days, during which Su Feiyan sent someone to send an invitation, inviting him to participate in Yin He's new Oiran Conference three days later.
The Oiran Conference will be held once a year, it is very lively, even no worse than the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, each time it will attract a large number of talented and beautiful people to go, and it is not uncommon for high-ranking officials and nobles in the court.
After reading the invitation, Ning Chen casually threw it aside.
Mingyue took it curiously, looked at it, and asked, "What is this Lingyan Pavilion?"
"Qinglou," Ning Chen replied honestly.
"Huh" Mingyue deliberately lengthened her voice, her little face was full of contempt, a bad guy is really a bad guy, and he will receive this kind of invitation.
"What are the little girl's family thinking, didn't I tell you before that I stayed there for a while?" Ning Chen said angrily.
"You didn't say it was a Qinglou," Mingyue continued to disdain.
"Didn't I say it?" Ning Chen said in surprise.
"You didn't say that," Mingyue nodded with certainty.
Ning Chen touched his nose, could it be that he really didn't say it, he said too much to fool people, and he really couldn't recall it for a while.
"Are you going to go?" Mingyue asked in a low voice.
"Do you want to go?" Ning Chen didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.
Mingyue was slightly entangled, and finally curiosity overcame reason, and she said, "Think!"
"Then go," Ning Chen chuckled.
Taking the child to visit the Qinglou, this matter is estimated to be done by him, but the selection of the Oiran is different from weekdays, at least there are not so many messy things, and it is good to let Xiao Mingyue join in the fun.
Moreover, this Oiran event came at such a good time, he didn't go over, and he really failed the hard work of the people behind it.
The three days passed quickly, and before the third day was dark, Mingyue was anxious to go out.
Ning Chen grabbed Xiao Mingyue and carefully covered the traces of the girl, before he led the latter towards the outside of the mansion with confidence.
"Do you know how to choose the Oiran?" Mingyue asked curiously as she walked.
"I don't know" Ning Chen shook his head and said, he really didn't know how the Oiran was chosen, but this thing should be similar to the beauty pageants of later generations, that is, to make a show, and then let a bunch of people vote.
"Why don't we buy an Oiran and go home," Mingyue said with a little face full of anticipation.
"Why do you buy her, but you can't work, and if you buy it back, it will be a vase" Ning Chen was not interested.
Mingyue thought about it, too, this Oiran sounds very good, but it's really useless when you think about it.
The two walked and talked without saying a word, and finally, when the moon rose, they walked to the bank of the Yin River.
The bustling crowd in front of them really scared the two of them, large and small flower boats were still in the river, and the largest flower boat in the middle was surrounded by many small flower boats, brightly lit and lively.
Because of the limited space of the big flower boat in the middle, except for some dignitaries and nobles who already have invitations, the rest of the people need to pass the test of the surrounding small flower boats before they are eligible to board the big flower boat that finally selects the Oiran.
"Mingyue, give me the invitation" In front of a small flower boat, Ning Chen spoke.
It's nice to have an invitation, you don't have to queue up, you don't have to fight monsters, you can go directly to the last flower boat to eat while eye-catching.
Mingyue was stunned, and then her little face showed a touch of shame, and she said embarrassedly, "I was in a hurry, I forgot to take it."
“……”
Ning Chen's eyes darkened, and he almost fell headlong, how could this little ancestor forget such an important thing.
"Let's let's, let's let's"
Behind him, a large number of people crowded onto the flower boat and went in to participate in the test.
Mingyue glanced at the crowd around her, and was also a little stunned, and said cautiously, "Why don't we go back and get it?"
Seeing that there was not much time and the Oiran Conference was about to start, Ning Chen's heart was crossed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "No need, let's pass through the pass, isn't it just a few tests, just go through!"
