Chapter 220: The Guards of the Earl's Court

Since the imperial court has no intention of continuing to move forward, and the affairs of Zhangzhou have come to an end, Lu Ning can unload his armor and return to the field with peace of mind.

This time, he wrote his resignation to the imperial court very solemnly.

In this recital, his words were very earnest, saying that he was really useless, and hoped that His Majesty would understand.

Zhu Yuanzhang originally thought that this was a kind word, but then he actually said that he was going to return to his hometown, and he was so angry that he almost jumped up.

Lu Ning is now in his twenties, if this age can be called a farewell to the old and returning to his hometown, there will be no one in the court to stand on duty.

Next, Lu Ning was not polite, and directly put forward his request, saying that he wanted the imperial court to remove him from the posts of General Pingkou and Changning County Commander.

Of course, it is still necessary to retain the title of Earl Changning, after all, he has to keep an iron rice bowl with a salary.

Zhu Yuanzhang showed Lu Ning's recital to all the courtiers.

This time, everyone thought that Lu Ning was a meritorious minister, and the court should not only reuse but also promote, so they couldn't agree to his resignation.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, then announced the dissolution of the dynasty, and after returning to the harem, he told Queen Ma about it.

Queen Ma asked Zhu Yuanzhang directly.

"I shouldn't have asked you about this matter, but this is not a harem politics, I want to ask you how you should deal with Zi'an's resignation! And how to place the 3,000 soldiers he recruited. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang scratched his head helplessly, and he told Queen Ma.

"The two of us are not ordinary husband and wife, they are learning together, and even the world can be shared, why can't you interfere in politics, I was just about to talk about it."

So, he told Queen Ma that he would not give Lu anything more this time, but admitted that he had the right to the 3,000 private soldiers.

Queen Ma is actually very fond of Lu Ning, so she doesn't object to anything.

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement surprised her a little.

But this is not a more important thing, she directly advised Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Your Majesty, you love Lu Ning, this is something that the government and the opposition know, but if you really give him 3,000 private soldiers, not only will the court criticize him, but more importantly, if you make such a start, maybe the heroes will not be even."

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately understood what was going on, if Lu Ning, as Changning Bo, could have a private army, then what about those dukes and marquises?

After thinking about it for a while, he had to use a compromise solution to solve the problem.

So, he nominally belonged the 3,000 people to the imperial court, but in fact they were divided into Changning guards.

This Changning guard is not the kind of guard of one or two people, but a kind of establishment of the imperial court, which belongs to the direct troops of the prince.

Moreover, the Changning guards did not send officials from the imperial court to lead them, but Li Jinglong served as the commander of the guards.

As soon as this incident came out, there was an uproar in an instant, and these ministers in the court were naturally all very smart.

The person who can get a personal escort should at least be a county king, such as Zhu Shouqian, the king of Jingjiang.

But Lu Ning is just an earl, not even a duke but has a guard, in other words, the court may really want to make him the king of the county sooner or later.

Naturally, these ministers were all sensible, so they all wanted to make friends with him.

However, at this moment, Lu Ning didn't expect this layer at all, and he went back to Changning County directly.

And since these 3,000 soldiers have already followed, they will continue to be craftsmen.

There are so many merchants and shops under his name, let them be the buddies and the shopkeeper respectively, so that they can earn money and not be idle.

When everything was settled, Lu Ning was reading a book in the study, and Li Jinglong suddenly broke in.

Lu Ning looked at him with some puzzlement and asked.

"Jiujiang, what are you doing so frizzy? What's the matter? ”

Li Jinglong smiled mysteriously, and then told Lu Ning.

"I do have something I want to ask Master for, but it's really hard to talk about."

Lu Ning shook his head and told him directly.

"What's so hard to say, you and I have experienced so many things together between master and apprentice, just say what you can say, and I will definitely help you do it."

Li Jinglong whispered to Lu Ning.

"Master, now that you have become famous, many people are staring at you now, our family is just a small duke's house, and now it is estimated that many princes want to find you as a guest of honor."

Lu Ning understood in his heart that Li Jinglong was thinking that now that he had two wives, Xu Miaojin and Li Xinmin, the matter should be settled as soon as possible.

Lest there really be more dignitaries and dignitaries interested in Lu Ning, then there is a problem.

Although these two wives are the daughters of the duke's family, if there is really a county lord of the prince's family who recruits Lu Ning as his son-in-law, then shouldn't these two wives be held behind?

Although Li Jinglong is usually a little arrogant, this matter is really a bit reliable.

Lu Ning smiled indifferently, and he told Li Jinglong very solemnly.

"You kid just rest assured, you don't have to think so much, except for these two wives, I won't do anything to be a guest of honor, not to mention the county lord of the prince's family, even the Nine Heavens Xuannu, I'm not interested."

After getting Lu Ning's promise, Li Jinglong was reassured, and he retreated with peace of mind.

Lu Ning himself was also thinking that since the matter had been decided, the matter of marrying a daughter-in-law had to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

But his parents are long gone, and the only one who can call the shots is that uncle.

So the next time my uncle comes to Changning, I must bring it up as soon as possible, and let him make his own decisions and hire others.
