After Jiang Ning returned to his room, as soon as he sat down, Zhang He came over.

"My lord, there's news from the grassland."

"Oh? So fast, what is the movement of the little prince? ”

Jiang Ning poured two cups of tea: "Sit down and say." ”

Zhang He answered, sat down and said:

After the little prince led his troops back to the grassland, he felt that his strength was weakened, and he gradually felt that he could not control the fire sieve and even the Tatar tribes, so he asked Duoyan Sanwei for marriage.

I want to ask for the princess Jaro as my own Kodun.

Huadang naturally refused, and the two parties parted unhappily.

After Huo Sieve saw that his tribe had been killed by Miao Gonggong and suffered heavy losses, he asked Wara for help and borrowed food, and Wara agreed.

The two families are getting closer and closer, as the adults said, or there is a possibility of an alliance. ”

"Good."

Jiang Ning smiled and nodded:

"It seems that everything is developing according to our vision, so that the Ming Dynasty can open the sea with peace of mind and enhance its national strength.

Now we don't need to intervene, we just send people to continue to keep a close watch.

By the way, is there any new news in Beijing? ”

"Yes."

Zhang He cautiously glanced at Jiang Ning and said:

"Although his subordinates tried their best to publicize the news of His Majesty's victory over Tatar and the alliance of Huadang, rumors were still flying all over the sky. And it's getting more and more wicked, and it's even going to adulthood. ”

"That's interesting, how do you arrange me?"

"There are rumors among the people that the adults bewitched His Majesty to go to Datong Weifu for a private visit, and lured him with beauty, encouraging His Majesty to wantonly rob the people's daughters of the people's luck, and indulge in frolicking day and night.

In addition, he also offered his cousin to please His Majesty, and achieved the goal of entering the palace in the coming day and becoming a relative to gain power.

It's kind of varied, varied. And not only in the capital, but also in various places, even locally. ”

"Haha, it's good, it's good, it's hard for them."

Jiang Ning smiled angrily, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"My lord, this must have come from the White Lotus Sect, should we do it?

Start with the county. ”

"No need, the clear ones are self-purifying, just a little gossip. If the ruler deals with them, then that is their way.

What's more, most of them are just foolish people who believe in the White Lotus Sect, and it is useless to catch them, and they can go. ”

"The adult is in a deep mood, and his subordinates admire him."

Jiang Ning shook his head with a smile, waved Zhang He away, and prepared to meet Zhu Houzhao.

When I didn't want to pass through the corridor, I happened to run over with Zhu Houzhao's eyebrows.

"Your Majesty, the minister is looking for you."

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Ning briefly said the advanced rumors.

Zhu Houzhao said disdainfully:

"Hmph, the folk like to arrange the royal right and wrong, and there are all kinds of things.

Some people used to say that I wasn't born to my mother.

If I ignore them, I'll be angry too.

Jiang Shiyu, you are doing the right thing, don't care so much.

I will be your emperor, and you will be your minister.

When I come to Japan, I will make you a prince and tell everyone that it is not you who want to be an official, but I forced it to you.

Shock the jaws off that crowd! ”

Jiang Ning hurriedly said: "Your Majesty doesn't dare to talk nonsense, the minister is afraid." ”

The kings with different surnames in the Ming Dynasty were posthumously sealed, and he couldn't afford it.

However, Zhu Houzhao's words really made him happy.

He also thought that this young man would be furious.

It's really getting more and more mature.

"By the way, Your Majesty, you were so happy just now, but Wanning recovered?"

Zhu Houzhao suddenly changed to a happy expression and said:

"It's almost time, she said she wants to go outside to see the street scene, breathe, and I agreed.

You also go together, by the way, call the goddess doctor again, there are many people. ”

Because Yang Yue'er is no longer in a state of disguise, Zhu Houzhao didn't find out at all that she was the sister who had a relationship with her at the beginning.

"Your Majesty, this ......"

Jiang Ning was in a dilemma.

If Meng Wanning wanted to go out by herself, it would be fine, but Zhu Houzhao would definitely follow, which would be very troublesome.

"Jiang Shi, this is my message."

Zhu Houzhao said deliberately seriously.

"Minister, obey the order."

Jiang Ning twitched the corners of his mouth, and could only agree.

"That's it.

But I'm not going to embarrass you. You can arrange it however you want, even if the streets are full of our people. ”

Zhu Houzhao grinned and hooked Jiang Ning's shoulder.

Jiang Ning smiled bitterly and nodded.

The next morning, the sun was shining and the weather was just right.

The group changed into casual clothes and played in one of the city's busiest street markets.

Meng Wanning, whose face had recovered a little ruddy, walked in the front, looking east and west, her clothes fluttering, like a cheerful butterfly.

Zhu Houzhao followed her step by step in the costume of a lieutenant, leaning up to talk from time to time, and after being pushed away impatiently, he was still happy.

Jiang Ning followed behind with Gu Dayong, Miao Kui and others.

There was also Yang Yue'er walking beside him.

Since Zhu Houzhao has always accompanied Meng Wanning to see her as a school captain, Yang Yue'er, who has never known what the emperor looks like, still does not know his true identity.

And in the streets and alleys, if you have a heart, you can find that there are many more fresh faces today.

It was Jiang Ning's personal arrangement of the Ouchi guards and the inner factory fanzi.

Even for the sake of stability, the market was deliberately cleared before departure.

But all those who are sneaky and don't look like good people are all caught in it.

This also led to the bad luck of the former hooligans.

It can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people.

Suddenly, Zhang He, who was pretending to be a foot trader, passed by Jiang Ning and quietly gestured to him.

Jiang Ning hurriedly dodged over, and the two of them fell last together.

"My lord, there is news about Lord He."

Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "What did she say?" Are things going well? ”

"Your Excellency, rest assured, the person who came to deliver the message said that all the plans were carried out truthfully and that they were fully prepared. Just wait for the adults to tell you to go to sea.

Other than that. But all the officials who are involved in the gentry and clans along the coast of the south of the Yangtze River are all in our hands, and I think they will definitely support the adults. ”

"Very well, she didn't disappoint me."

Jiang Ning nodded with satisfaction and continued: "I forgot to ask you before, Zhang Cai and Liu Jin in Jingzhong confronted each other, what was the result?" Can there be a victory or a defeat? ”

"So that the adults know that Zhang Cai refused to admit defeat and bowed his head for the sake of Jinyiwei's face, revised his confession, and was put on a table by Liu Gonggong.

Xiang Yuan, who had just been promoted to the town envoy of the Fusi of Beizhen, was charged with a crime and put in prison.

But even so, Zhang Cai still did not cooperate, and even publicly declared that he must fight to the end in this matter.

Gonggong Liu was disgraced, greatly annoyed, and prepared to mobilize all forces to investigate Zhang Cai. ”

Jiang Ning squinted his eyes and said:

"It can't go on like this, if Jinyiwei is beaten to the bottom, the loss is still the strength of the factory guard, and it is a joke for the outer court.

Ordered to go down, everyone prepared first, and the day after tomorrow at the latest, they were going to leave for Beijing. ”

"My subordinates understand."

After Zhang Heyin disappeared into the crowd, Jiang Ning realized that he was a cut distance away from the boss of the team, and hurriedly followed.

Meng Wanning pursed her lips and said, "Brother, it's hard to come out for a walk, why are you busy with official business." My sister kept looking back at you just now. ”

"Sister?"

Jiang Ning was confused.

"Well, it's this sister who healed me.

She's so good, we've been sisters for a long time. ”

Meng Wanning pulled Yang Yue'er, who looked slightly embarrassed.

"Ahem, it's really some important business."

Jiang Ning glanced at Yang Yue'er, but saw that she hurriedly avoided her gaze.

At this time, Meng Wanning said again: "Brother, there is an ancient temple in front, I want to go in and worship, do you want to come?" ”

"I won't go if I have something to do, you can take Captain Bi with you, he will protect you."

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Jiang Ning gratefully.

"Humph! Who wants him to protect it? Stupid. ”

Meng Wanning snorted, lifted the hem of her skirt and walked forward with small steps.

Seeing Zhu Houzhao stunned in place, he turned his head and said coquettishly: "Hey, you haven't come here yet?" ”

"Just, just come."

Zhu Houzhao hurriedly ran over.

Miao Kui, Gu Dayong and others followed together.

Even Bai Wenqing walked into the temple with Zhu Houzhao's side.

And Yang Yue'er was also standing in place, obviously without a sense of the past.

Jiang Ning said curiously: "Isn't Miss Yue'er going to worship the Buddha?" ”

Yang Yue'er glanced at him sideways, and said coquettishly:

"The little woman is a person from the green forest, and she does not believe in Buddhism.

It's Lord Jiang, how can he stay alone, and there is not even a guard behind him.

Aren't you afraid that the White Lotus Sect or someone else will do something wrong? ”

Jiang Ning asked rhetorically: "Just like the last time I went to the Nishang Building?" ”

Yang Yue'er was stunned, shame and anger appeared in her eyes, and she raised her feet and left.

"Alas, I said the wrong thing, it's all mine."

Jiang Ning hurriedly stopped:

"I mean, I don't care if you're here anyway, whoever comes.

Your martial arts are so strong, you won't sit idly by and watch me be assassinated. ”

Yang Yue'er took a sip and said, "Which one wants to protect you?" ”

It's just that her cheeks slowly turned crimson, revealing that she is not at peace at the moment.

Xu was really reminded of Jiang Ning's words.
