Half an hour later.

Zhu Houzhao ordered the leopard house to be transformed into a military camp, and the news of the day and night martial arts exercises soon spread throughout the gardens and palaces.

Batches of eunuchs were sent back to the palace, and the Ming soldiers with swords and swords were stationed instead.

Xi Rong looked at the garden in front of him, which was almost demolished, and frowned:

"Sister, what the hell is this little emperor doing? Don't want a good garden, you have to make it into a barracks. ”

Zhou Ruo glanced at his sister and said:

"You don't know him yet, he likes to think of a play the most, and he is very martial, so it's not strange to do it like this.

It's just that in this way, the people who the Holy Sect has finally planted in have been cleared out, and we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to contact them again in the future. ”

Just as the sisters were talking, a young flag officer in the army inadvertently flashed in front of the two and quietly gestured.

Xi Rong and Zhou Ruo glanced at each other, their hands hanging under their bodies, and quietly responded with a gesture.

Immediately afterwards, the flag officer cautiously leaned over and whispered, "Maitreya Buddha is born." ”

Zhou Ruo's expression was solemn, and he said coquettishly: "King Ming was born." ”

"The catastrophe is coming, and the sky is dark."

"The sun and the moon have no light."

"The mud comes from the chaos of enlightenment."

"The White Lotus is in full bloom."

The flag officer and Zhou Ruo looked at each other, full of surprise.

"Sure enough, it's my own people."

Xirong couldn't wait to say, "Who asked you to come?" Isn't it the Third Elder? Was he prepared? ”

The flag officer shook his head with a smile: "No, it's Lord Jiang Ningjiang, the commander of the inner factory." ”

"What?"

Xirong exclaimed, but suddenly fell unconscious, and fell to the ground unconscious.

Zhou Ruo was shocked, and just as he was about to make a move, he saw the flag officer withdraw his slap and pull out a dagger and face her snow-white and delicate neck.

Immediately afterward, the surrounding sergeants turned around and drew their bows and crossbows, ready to shoot her at any moment.

Zhou Ruo had no heart to resist anymore, and sat down on the ground in despair.

Five days later.

Jiang Ning and three cabinet scholars joined the meeting.

Jiao Fang stroked his beard and sighed:

"Your Majesty is benevolent, remembering the old feelings, and does not want to punish the two White Lotus Sect demon girls.

Not only did they not find out anything, but they also found an opportunity to commit suicide in prison yesterday. ”

Li Dongyang took a sip of tea and said: "Your Majesty values affection more than the law, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing." ”

Jiang Ning didn't speak, but looked at the past experiences of the two women found out by the factory guard.

They are indeed a Jianghu opera troupe that travels south and north, and the time is still continuous, and there are eight or nine thoughts, and they have grown up there since childhood.

Later, I was fortunate enough to enter King Ning's Mansion to perform, and seeing that the team was very good, King Ning was sent to the capital.

In this way, King Ning does not seem to know about this.

It was a complete accident.

Yang Tinghe saw that Jiang Ning's brows were furrowed deeper and deeper, and said:

"Lord Jiang, judging from the current situation, King Ning is guilty of negligence at most, but he can't move him at all.

Jiang Ning's face was displeased.

Jiao Fang hurriedly persuaded:

"My lord, since the pacification was difficult, the vassal kings of various places have lost most of their authority, and they are like a cup bow and a snake shadow, and they are worried all day long that the imperial court will suddenly take them.

If we punish King Ning without evidence this time, wouldn't the vassal kings of the world want people to panic, and if one is not good, there will be turmoil.

Coupled with the fact that the White Lotus Sect is eyeing it inside, the current Ming Dynasty really can't stand the toss. ”

Jiang Ning nodded:

"The official also understands this truth, so he has the right to put this matter aside. It's just that the official thinks that the next step is to closely monitor the movements of Jiangxi, especially the Ningwang Mansion. ”

"Yes, that's fine."

The three bachelors agreed.

This is the end of the matter.

After leaving the Forbidden City, Jiang Ning rushed straight to the leopard room.

"Your Majesty."

"Jiang Shiyu, you came just in time, I just finished the last letter."

Zhu Houzhao casually dropped the song and walked to Jiang Ning: "I can go out of the city to perform martial arts now." ”

Since he proclaimed himself a mighty general, he was once again obsessed with martial arts drills, and he and Xu Tai took the Tianxiong army to practice martial arts all day long in the suburbs of Beijing.

Of course, the results are also gratifying, and he has transformed the theoretical knowledge he has learned since childhood into practical command ability, which is really a bit decent.

Jiang Ning was afraid that Zhu Houzhao would abandon the government because of this, so he asked him to deal with a certain number of sparse performances before he could go to the suburbs of Beijing to conduct military drills.

"The minister is here to pick up His Majesty and go outside the city."

"Haha, that's great."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't wait for a moment, and after changing into armor, he pulled Jiang Ning out of the leopard room.

On the way, he carried the reins and suddenly asked:

"Jiang Shiyu, what kind of strategic offensive did you mean when you were performing martial arts yesterday?

I went back and checked the Art of War, but I didn't find anything about it. ”

Jiang Ning explained with a smile:

"The so-called strategic offensive is to carry out an all-round attack on the enemy, or to concentrate superior forces to launch a fierce attack on the enemy's forces in certain directions or areas in order to achieve the goal of waging war.

The main purpose is to annihilate and kill a large number of enemy soldiers and horses, so as to force the enemy to switch to the defensive and completely seize the initiative on the battlefield.

In this way, our army can fight steadily, eat it up little by little, and destroy the enemy.

Sun Tzu's Art of War said that knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent and not being defeated in a hundred battles is one of the necessary conditions for achieving a strategic offensive. ”

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while, and then stroked his palm and said: "I seem to understand a little, and after today's martial arts performance, I will think about it carefully after returning to the leopard room." ”

"Your Majesty is so smart, you will be able to understand it soon."

Jiang Ning paused and continued:

"It's just that in addition to gathering intelligence and formulating detailed strategies, in order to achieve a strategic offensive, it is also necessary to use the commanders flexibly and be good at seizing the right time to send troops.

However, most of the time, such a strategy will involve the life and death of the whole army, and it will need to be reported to His Majesty and the imperial court for decision. ”

Zhu Houzhao smiled indifferently:

"If that's the case, in the future, when Jiang Shi reads that you lead the troops to fight, I will allow you to act cheaply, and everything will be under your full command, and there is no need to play the imperial court, isn't it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long."

Jiang Ning said that, and the two of them looked at each other and laughed.

Nearly two hours later.

With the curtain call of the rumbling cannons, the Tianxiong military exercise ended again.

Jiang Ning and Zhu Houzhao returned to the capital.

"It's a pleasure, it's a pleasure!"

Zhu Houzhao shouted unsatisfied: "Tomorrow, I will extend the time for the martial arts exercise, just two hours, how can this be?" ”

Jiang Ning smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, in a few hours, it will be dark." ”

"What's in the way, it's not interesting to be in the leopard room."

The carriage and horse passed by the Huangzhuang unconsciously.

At the intersection of Huangzhuang Road, there are dozens of figures standing around.

The current few are the Suluo fairy girls who are walking with Li Yun'er, and even Meng Wanning is there.

And the back is the maid and the maid, as well as the inner factory fan of the guard.

Zhu Houzhao glanced at it inadvertently, and his face showed a panicked look.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Jiang Ning looked at it strangely and became embarrassed.

I saw Meng Wanning standing in place, staring straight at Zhu Houzhao.

The most important thing is that now the two monarchs and ministers are riding side by side, and hundreds of guards behind them are majestically arching.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like an ordinary school captain.

"Jiang Shiyu, what should I do? Otherwise, you can go and talk to Miss Wanning, I didn't mean to lie to her. ”

Jiang Ning shook his head and said:

"Your Majesty, since you have found out, if you let the minister say it, Wanning will be even more angry.

Only if you go and unravel this knot yourself, will the two of you have a chance to continue.

What's more, Wan Ning likes you, so why bother with whether it is the emperor or a school captain. ”

A touch of firmness flashed in Zhu Houzhao's eyes, he beat his horse over, came to Meng Wanning, and said stubbornly:

"Wanning, actually, in fact, I am the greatest, the great tomorrow Zhu Houzhao.

I didn't mean to lie to you, you, can you ......"

Before she finished speaking, Meng Wan smiled: "You want me to forgive you?" ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded again and again.

"But I hope that the forgiveness is the little yellow captain who looks like a fart."

Meng Wan's beautiful eyes stared at Zhu Houzhao tightly.

"Xiao Huang, I will always be Xiao Huang, the captain Xiao Huang who guards you and wants to take care of you!"

Zhu Houzhao swore solemnly.

"Then I don't know, is Captain Xiao Huang willing to take me on a horseback to visit the capital?"

Meng Wanning smiled and stretched out her soft wattle.

"I do!"

Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed, and quickly reached out to pull her onto the horse and sat in his arms.

Then he patted the horse's buttocks and galloped away in the direction of the capital.

The Ouchi guards were about to make a move, and they were about to follow, but they heard a loud roar: "You are not allowed to follow!" ”

"Master Jiang?"

The commander of the guards reluctantly asked Jiang Ning for help.

"Pick a few dozen clever points, and just stay far behind."

"Yes."
