After Jiang Ning finished saluting, he took a step forward, raised his head and quickly glanced at the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager.

I saw that the two of them were both dressed in regular clothes, behaved lazily, and were very casual, so I knew that I didn't plan to do anything to myself.

Probably because his grandson (son) was almost in trouble, he was a little angry, so he called himself to mention a few words.

But Queen Xia was dressed quite exquisitely.

is obviously a sixteen-year-old girl, but she tries her best to make a serious and dignified appearance, her face is expressionless, and she does not have the liveliness and coquettishness of a girl, but she looks extremely stereotyped.

The body is still dressed in the most formal phoenix crown and xia cloak, which is extremely grand.

Jiang Ning couldn't help but guess, could it be that she really listened to those rumors, thinking that she had lured the emperor to indulge in beauty, so she deliberately threw her face.

Or, where did you already hear about Wanning's existence and want to give yourself a dismount?

Just as Jiang Ning was pondering, the Empress Dowager coughed lightly, and finally spoke:

"Jiang Qing's family, this palace heard that His Majesty patrolled Datong and met with Yan Sanwei, but he was trapped by the Tatars in Baishan Mountain, and his life was almost in danger, just like the changes in the civil fort in the past, yes or no?"

Jiang Ning pretended to be shocked and said: "Where did the Empress Dowager hear the false rumors, it is true that the Tatars entered Koubai Mountain, but it is really a plan set by His Majesty and his ministers to lure the enemy.

As soon as the Tatars arrived, they all went out to surround them on all sides, so that our army won a great victory, and His Majesty had a great feats of the Tatars when he first ascended the great treasure!

As for what the Empress Dowager said, I think it was a false rumor that has been circulating in Beijing recently, but I don't know which villain deliberately passed into your ears, it's really damned. ”

The Empress Dowager sighed: "But the palace also heard that it was because of the White Lotus Sect in the border pass and the secret communication with the Tatars, which caused the Tatars to easily enter the customs and attack Baishan Mountain."

How does this explain? ”

At this time, Yun An suddenly said: "Imperial grandmother, what Lord Shicai Jiang said is a deliberate ploy to lure the Tatars, I think this is also one of the links."

Master Jiang, am I right? ”

Jiang Ning smiled and nodded: "Her Royal Highness the princess is extremely intelligent, that's exactly the case." ”

Yun An saw that he cast such a warm smile on himself, pursed his lips, lowered his face, and hid the faint shame in his eyes.

"Talk to Hongu carefully."

Jiang Ning answered and explained:

"The inner factory under the command of the minister has some means, and he found out that there are white lotus spies in the border pass early, but after His Majesty discussed with the minister, he decided not to be quiet, pretending not to know.

On the day of the alliance, they were deliberately put into the pass, and then set up layers of ambushes to wipe out all the nets.

Although he was lucky to be escaped by the little prince, he was also greatly injured, so he had to return to the grassland to lick his wounds.

According to the minister's estimate, the border can be kept stable for five years, so that the people no longer have to worry about living, and our dynasty can also accelerate the improvement of national strength, and wait for the next day to level the desert and expand the territory.

This is all thanks to His Majesty's wisdom and martial arts, and his future achievements will definitely be comparable to Taizu Taizong! ”

The Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Zhang glanced at each other, their faces softened, and they showed a faint smile.

No matter what the elders are, they are always happy to hear that their children and grandchildren are promising.

Suddenly, Queen Xia said with a small face:

"Jiangning, when the first emperor was in power, he allocated funds every year to build various passes on the Great Wall, and built my Ming frontier like an iron wall, in order to guard against Tatars, keep the enemy out, and save my Ming people from the danger of war.

But you instigated Your Majesty to go north this time, making the situation unstable, the people's hearts in turmoil, and the danger of overturning Sheji, not to mention, you also offered such a strategy, asking Your Majesty to go to the danger in person and attract the enemy to attack.

Have you ever thought that if the Tatars break through Datong, they will have to lose their lives? This is to abandon the national policy and strategy of the first emperor!

How can you be worthy of the kindness of the first emperor to your cultivation?! ”

Jiang Ning turned to look at Empress Xia, and said unhurriedly:

"Returning to the Empress, although Your Majesty is young and reckless, and his governance is not as proper and calm as that of the first emperor, it can also be called remarkable.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wenjing implemented the rule of Huang Lao, which made the Han Dynasty sweep away the hardship and poverty since the chaos and war at the end of the Qin Dynasty, and the national strength continued to grow, and the treasury became increasingly abundant.

And it is precisely with their accumulated strength that after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne, they had enough strength to send troops to Mobei and seal the wolf in a battle.

It has played the glorious prestige of the Han Dynasty, and the reputation of the people of the Central Plains as a Han and a Wuhu!

Now, the virtue of the first emperor far exceeds that of the second emperor Wenjing, and I have a prosperous era in the Ming Dynasty.

Your Majesty, as his son, should also carry forward the past and forge ahead like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, wipe out the outside of the plug, and play the prestige of my sun and moon Ming! ”

Empress Xia was stunned by Jiang Ning's words, and she couldn't open her mouth for a long time.

At this time, Yun Yang suddenly patted his white and tender little hands and praised:

"Ah, according to Lord Jiang's words, the imperial brother is Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and isn't the imperial grandmother just like Empress Dou on the side of Emperor Wen in the past?

That's a virtuous queen praised by all the people. ”

The smile on the Empress Dowager's face was even worse, and her gaze softened a lot when she looked at Jiang Ning.

Empress Dowager Zhang also smiled.

She knew that Jiang Ning was touting Zhu Houzhao, how could she dare to compete with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

But if you can really make a great achievement, it is also excellent.

Queen Xia was full of displeasure.

Because she thought of Chen Ajiao.

This was the first empress of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who was deposed within a few years, and the famous Wei Zifu ascended the throne.

Queen Xia felt that she was very similar to her, and her face became more and more ugly.

Jiang Ning didn't have time to care what she thought, so she took advantage of the victory to pursue and exaggerate Zhu Houzhao's role and influence on Datong's trip.

Due to the previous foreshadowing, Empress Dowager Zhang and the old lady nodded frequently when they heard it, and their eyebrows danced.

After talking dryly for half an hour, Jiang Ning was able to stop talking.

The Empress Dowager smiled kindly: "Jiang Qing's family is the pillar of the country, assisting the Son of Heaven in the country's merits, and it is worthy of being the backbone minister selected by the first emperor."

It's just that you are still young, so you should not be complacent, but you should guard against arrogance and rashness, and His Majesty Sasuke will create real achievements! ”

"What the Empress Dowager said, the ministers must keep it in mind."

"Well, let's go."

Jiang Ning said yes, looked at Queen Xia, whose face was as black as ink, without a trace, and slowly withdrew from Cining Palace.

And he hadn't gone far before Yun Yang pulled Yun An and ran over quickly.

"Hey, who's that, you wait!"

Jiang Ning turned around helplessly, smiled and arched his hand:

"Thank you, Your Highnesses, for speaking up."

Yunyang's pink mouth opened slightly, and after gasping for breath for a while, he crossed his waist and said angrily:

"You're just thanking you? You have to come up with something practical.

But there's nothing missing in the palace, and you can't get anything good.

Otherwise, how about you find a chance to talk to the imperial brother and let me and the imperial sister go out of the palace to have fun? ”

"Yunyang! Hugh is babbling nonsense. ”

Yun An glared at Yun Yang, looked at Jiang Ning and said, "My imperial sister has been in the palace for too long, and she rarely has the opportunity to leave the palace to make such a request."

Master Jiang must not take it to heart. ”

Jiang Ning shook his head and said, "Your Highness, the minister is worried that he doesn't have a chance to thank the two Highnesses, but he can give it a try." ”

"Really?"

Yun An's eyes lit up.

If so, who wants to stay in this cage-like Forbidden City day in and day out?

Jiang Ning bowed his head slightly.

Yunyang cheered: "Then don't forget, the gentleman said that the horse is difficult to chase." If you don't, this princess will spare you. ”

After that, she grimaced at Jiang Ning, and then pulled her imperial sister away.

Yun An inadvertently turned around, and when he saw that Jiang Ning was still looking at him, he couldn't help but smile.

After seeing the two princesses disappear from sight, Jiang Ning left the harem and went straight to the warm pavilion.

Zhu Houzhao was leisurely looking at the folk script, and when he saw him coming, he immediately smiled:

"Jiang Shiyu, how was the situation just now? The imperial grandmother and queen mother didn't embarrass you, did they? ”

The two queen mothers were benevolent and virtuous, and did not scold the ministers much.

It's the queen, but she seems to be deliberately making things difficult. ”

Zhu Houzhao frowned and snorted coldly:

"Don't bother with this shrew.

She didn't know where to know Miss Wanning, when I first arrived in the palace yesterday, she made a big fuss with me, saying that I had snubbed her, but I went to stick to a folk woman, which was simply indecent!

Where is there a little bit of a queen's look! ”

Jiang Ning raised his eyebrows, it seemed that he had guessed correctly.

Suddenly, Zhu Houzhao turned out a pair of pieces out of nowhere, and said impatiently:

"You were reprimanded by your mother and grandmother in the harem, and I was also accused by the ministers here of leaving Beijing without permission and ignoring the country.

There is nothing happy about it. ”

As he spoke, he casually threw the song on the ground and said to Liu Jin on the side:

"Liu Banban, you put all these things backlogged, don't worry about it.

In the future, if there is anything relevant, don't care about it! ”

"The old slave obeys."

Zhu Houzhao vented, his mood was much better, and he looked at Jiang Ning and said:

"By the way, Jiang Shiyu, has Miss Wanning mentioned me in the past two days?"

Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said:

"Your Majesty, you and Wanning only separated yesterday, her little girl is always thin-skinned, even if she misses it in her heart, how can she be embarrassed to ask the minister?"

"Yes, we only separated yesterday."

Zhu Houzhao nodded and sighed: "But I always feel that I haven't seen her for a year and a half." ”

Jiang Ning hesitated for a moment and said, "When does Your Majesty plan to tell Wan Ning about his identity?" ”

"Well, this, not yet.

I wanted to wait until she really liked me before I told her the truth.

If I tell her now that I am the Emperor, she will not be able to treat me the way she used to.

That's not what I want. ”

Jiang Ning was completely relieved to see that Zhu Houzhao had no intention of forcibly summoning Meng Wanning into the palace.

In this way, he can be the emperor's eldest brother with peace of mind.
