Chapter 359 "Distribution" of the Great Wilderness City?

Ning Chen hadn't seen Zhang Ge Lao, but it didn't mean that he didn't know Zhang Ge Lao's personality.

No matter what this person says, there is a stubbornness of a literati, but he can completely hide it.

Ning Chen could only say that this was not only Zhang Gelao's strength, but also his shortcoming.

Ning Chen knew that Zhang Ge Lao himself did not have too much desire for power.

After all, he is in his seventies, and to be honest, at this age, at this time, it is a proper longevity.

But it also means that he won't live long.

At present, Zhang Ge Lao did not want to completely explode his literati nature at the last moment.

After all, the first half of his life was spent in detours and compromises.

If you don't fight until death, I'm afraid you won't be able to turn a blind eye when you die.

But now, it seems that although Zhang Ge Lao has tried his best, his goal has not been achieved, and it is even less than he expected, 108,000 miles less.

"You kid... I really dare to say anything. The queen mother sat firmly on Mount Tai and glanced at Ning Chen lightly: "What do you mean that many things are secretly acquiesced and instructed by His Majesty?"

The minister lost his words. Ning Chen was also stunned, only to realize that he had really said what he was thinking in front of the queen mother, and at that moment, he seemed to have no secret in her eyes.

Ning Chen, who realized this, immediately ran the magic skill he got in Yunya Temple-"Mirror Terrace".

Sure enough, this is the foundation of the queen's mother's foothold in the harem?

Ning Chen lowered his head, but horror flashed in his eyes from time to time.

Although Ning Chen did not have a deliberate embankment for the queen mother, but it was silent and silent, which still made Ning Chen feel very incredible.

The queen mother is not the kind of woman who has the appearance of a disaster for the country and the people, and even in terms of appearance, she is slightly inferior to Xia Yao.

The terrible thing is her temperament, natural, mature and steady, and generous, just like a fine wine, the more you taste it, the more you know the beauty of it.

Although Ning Chen didn't have the opportunity to taste "her", it was just these few faces he had seen on weekdays that made him let down his vigilance against the queen's mother, which can be seen in general~

However, Ning Chen could also see that the queen did not have any bad intentions, otherwise this hand would be enough to disturb the whole world.

The emperor is really a blessing~ Ning Chen thought so.

"Forget it. The queen smiled slightly, looked at Ning Chen and said, "Don't worry too much, after all, this palace also knows that what you said is the truth, fortunately, we are here and there, and we don't have to worry about being overheard." ”

"It's not three. Xia Yao was bored listening to it, she was not interested in these twists and turns in the court, but when she heard this, she interjected rarely: "It's five!"

Xia Yao pointed to her stomach and the queen's belly.

"If you have time, come to the palace a few more times. The queen said to Ning Chen: "The premise is that you don't mention political affairs in the harem, if you bring some folk gadgets to make our mother happy, it will also be excellent." ”

Ning Chen silently drew the key point in his heart, this is a compulsory exam question, and it is also a score question.

Ning Chen didn't say much, and responded honestly.

It's just the queen's last sentence, but it made his face change.

"I didn't ask you if you wanted to lead the troops, but I wasn't asking for your opinion. The queen said lightly: "But to give you a reminder, if this palace guesses correctly, before the Dongchang and Donglin Party start a complete war, you will go to the frontier." ”

"So urgent?" Ning Chen's face turned bitter: "Don't wait until the end?"

"Why can't you wait for it to end, you have some numbers in your heart, right?" the queen paused, looked at Ning Chen and said.

Ning Chen was silent for a while, he already had a premonition that he would not stay in Jinling City for long, but he didn't expect it to be in such a way.

Dongchang and Donglin Party, after the decisive battle between the two parties, a large number of talents will be lost in the imperial court, and Nanming at this time is precisely the weakest time.

There is a shortage of talents in the imperial court, so new officials need to be filled, and the emperor obviously doesn't want to see any factional disputes, plus there will be a new batch of "high-achieving students in the imperial examination" in the coming year to automatically come to his bowl... Ning Chen guessed that not only himself, but also Jiang Li and Zhu Tianjue were likely to be transferred out of Jinling City.

Even if it's okay, the emperor will do something.

The two of them are already high and powerful, and the emperor will not easily give power to the two of them in the matter of leading troops, and the specific errand will have to wait until the end to be revealed.

On the other hand, the frontier is extra important at this point.

However, some luck, whether it is Xiliang and Beiyan, they are now at the juncture of the dispute between the princes, and each family has its own troubles, which is also a rare good news for Nanming and Nanming.

"This palace knows that as soon as a man joins the army, especially when the war starts... There are also those who will not be home for three years. The queen looked at Ning Chen and said, "Only this time, whether you lead troops or not, you have to go." ”

"Non-negotiable?"

"Discuss with Your Majesty?" The queen smiled helplessly: "If you have the guts, you can go." ”

"It seems that we can't escape this time. Ning Chen looked at the queen and said, "Can you let the minister take Yao'er back to the mansion to live for a while?"

Ning Chen paused for a moment, and then said, "When the minister goes out on the expedition, he is sending Yao'er into the palace." ”

"No, I can't. The queen ignored Xia Yao Xiyi's gaze, and her attitude was quite tough.

"You are allowed to enter the palace every day, and you can even stay in the palace. The queen's words changed, making Xia Yao's face smile again.

"Queen Xie. Ning Chen knew that this was the limit he could strive for.

"Reluctantly. The queen waved her hand and continued, "It's better to be free." ”

Ning Chen stayed in the palace for a while, and then left the palace.

Something like this happened, Jiang Li surprisingly didn't come to look for him.

Ning Chen didn't take the initiative to look for Jiang Li, because he knew that since Jiang Li didn't come, there was a reason not to come.

Early the next morning, not long after Ning Chen entered the Fusi of Beizhen, a little eunuch who had never seen him knocked on the door respectfully and came in, bowed lightly to Ning Chen, and then said, "Lord Ning, Your Majesty is invited." ”

"It's so fast?" Ning Chen secretly snorted helplessly in his heart, and said to his little father-in-law: "Please lead the way." ”

"Lord Ning is polite. The little father-in-law hurriedly returned the salute.

Now that Wei Jiangxuan, the biggest eunuch in Nanming, has fallen, these little eunuchs naturally need to be slightly restrained.

Even the usual money did not dare to accept it, but said to Ning Chen: "Lord Ning, you don't know, now we eunuchs in the palace are the most miserable... Although Zhang Ge resigned and returned to his hometown, the rest of the Donglin Party still chased and beat hard... I have to say that Zhang Gelao's hand is also faintly unbearable. ”

"Don't dare to ask for this money. ”

When did the eunuchs in the palace call themselves slaves and maidservants in front of people outside the royal family?

Even if he is a little eunuch, he usually uses our family to call himself up.

But now, it's not as good as it used to be.

It may be that since this emperor came to power, the decline of Dongchang has been prescribed, and it is only a matter of time.

Ning Chen once again faced the "wise" emperor.

"Your Majesty, Minister. ”

"Alright. The emperor waved his hand, and this time he did not let Ning Chen take a seat, but said directly: "I heard that you came to the palace again yesterday." ”

"Yes. Ning Chen nodded, and then said, "After all, Yao'er is pregnant... Always want to come and see. ”

"Do you know about yesterday's morning?" the Emperor continued.

"I have some understanding, but it is limited to Zhang Ge's resignation and return to his hometown, and Gonggong Wei was demoted to the head of the imperial dining room. Ning Chen replied.

"That's pretty much all there is to it. Although there was a smile on the emperor's face, Ning Chen couldn't figure out the emperor's current state of mind at the moment.

This smile is a formulaic smile, which is frightening.

Ning Chen guessed that the performance of both Dongchang and Donglin Party did not satisfy him, and maybe the emperor would enter in person next.

"Have you seen the empress?" the emperor saw Ning Chen's head lowered, and he didn't care, and asked.

Ning Chen nodded and replied honestly, "I've seen it, in the Imperial Garden." ”

"Speaking of entering the palace from Qinghe, the time for the queen to go to me has become shorter. The Emperor seemed to be complaining about something.

"The minister went to persuade Yao'er..."Ning Chen replied subconsciously.

"Persuade?" the emperor looked at Ning Chen rather amusedly: "You must know that this is not Qinghe's problem, but the queen's own last wish, and even I can't do anything." ”

"It is useless to persuade Qinghe. The Emperor waved his hand.

"Alright. After the emperor finished joking, the expression on his face became serious: "I came to you today, I must have made it in my heart, right?"

"Your Majesty is sent. Ning Chen clenched his fist at the emperor to show his attitude.

"Now that you've seen the queen, the queen probably woke you up too... It's just that you wouldn't have thought it would be so urgent. The emperor smiled proudly, looked at Ning Chen and said, "Isn't it strange to hear my edict today?"

"The minister is ready at any time. Ning Chen's official answer is also leaky.

"Now even you have learned to play official. The emperor smiled helplessly, and he didn't react too much, after all, he didn't know how to play official in officialdom, and that was a big failure.

Ning Chen listened to the order. The emperor didn't say much, and said to Ning Chen: "From now on, Ning Chen will be appointed as the garrison supervisor of the Great Wilderness City, and after listening to this summons, he will take office immediately!"

"Minister... Accept the order!" After Ning Chen heard where he was and where he went, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Go ahead. The emperor waved his hand at Ning Chen, and then said, "Go and go with Qinghe Dao." ”

"The minister retired. Ning Chen took a few steps back, and only then did he turn around and leave straight out of the door.

————

"So fast?" Xia Yao looked at Ning Chen with some puzzlement, her eyes full of reluctance.

"yes. Ning Chen also smiled bitterly, hugged Xia Yao gently in his arms, and said, "I still thought about coming over to accompany you in the past few days, but I didn't expect that I would be transferred out of Jinling City today. ”

"Great Wilderness City~" Xia Yao pursed her lips and said with an angry face: "It's not a good place to listen to the name." ”

"You'd be wrong. Ning Chen shook his head and explained to Xia Yao: "I have been to this place in the Great Wilderness City once, although it cannot be said to be prosperous, but it can definitely be regarded as a good place. ”

"It's not good anyway, I don't care!" Xia Yao suddenly played a little character.

"Good, good. Ning Chen had no choice but to obey: "The Great Wilderness City is not a good place, husband, I really don't want to go." ”

"Then don't go. Xia Yao looked at Ning Chen: "I'll go and ask Your Majesty." ”

"It doesn't work. Ning Chen shook his head gently: "The holy decree has been issued, and Chrysostom will not change easily." ”

"Hmph. Xia Yao gently hugged Ning Chen's waist and leaned on Ning Chen's arms: "I will miss you." ”

"Me too. Ning Chen hugged Xia Yao and gently stroked Xia Yao's hair.

"But your only task now is to take care of your body. Ning Chen looked at Xia Yao and said, "Everyone else says that the man who came to the battlefield, when he returns home, his own kid will not know his father... I try to get back before the baby is born... Presumably, Your Majesty will not refuse. ”

"Hmm. Xia Yao hummed softly, she was in a bad mood now, and she didn't want to talk more.

"Originally, you were the only one in my world. ”

After being silent for a long time, Xia Yao suddenly spoke to Ning Chen: "But now, there is still a baby." ”

Xia Yao touched her stomach, and her face showed a hint of happiness: "If I am left alone, I will definitely be angry." ”

Xia Yao stared at Ning Chen tightly: "If you want to leave, just go quickly, and don't let me see you again until you can come back completely... Otherwise, I'm not sure if I'll be willing to let you go!"

————

Ning Chen felt that he was very lucky.

Being able to marry such a wife is something he never dared to think of in his previous life.

Since he left Jinling City, Ning Chen didn't want to care about the rights and wrongs in Jinling City, and he couldn't care about it.

Ning Chen always felt embarrassed to put the word prison on himself.

After all, the word general is often either a civilian official or a eunuch.

It just so happens that Ning Chen is neither, if you have to say that there is something in common... Ning Chen could only say that he might be the same as most of the prison guards, and he didn't know anything about military affairs.

But there is one thing, Ning Chen will not use his identity to make trouble.

The emperor also did not give him a chance to make trouble.

sent him directly to the Great Wilderness City.

The city lord of the Great Wilderness City is called Zhong Guanyun, and when he sent Princess Fengyang to Xiliang to marry before, he had a contact.

And both sides feel pretty good.

Ning Chen guessed that the emperor asked him to come over or learn more, after all, the Great Wilderness City guarded by Zhong Guanyun was the frontier of the Three Kingdoms.

If there were no real materials, it would be impossible to guard the border here for many years, plus Zhong Guanyun's unfathomable martial arts were there.

Putting Ning Chen over, he also believed that Zhong Guanyun could also perfectly suppress him.

"Lord Ning. Zhong Guanyun had been waiting outside the city gate for a long time.
