The ninth son of the emperor was demoted at the beginning. I have a famous Chinese general.

"Your Majesty, no matter what the reason, the Ninth Prince shouldn't have used such harsh measures! After all, they are brothers."

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Yuanhua spoke.

"Hehe, brother?"

"My dear, do you think that Lao Jiu and they are brothers?"

"Or... do they recognize Lao Jiu as their brother?"

Ning Yuanwu laughed.

The coldness contained in the smile was so frightening that it made Zhang Yuanhua tremble all over.

"Your Majesty, I don't understand what you are saying."

"They are all His Majesty's sons, so of course they are brothers."

Zhang Yuanhua pretended to be calm.

"My beloved, I am not old yet, nor am I so stupid as to know nothing."

"Do you think I don't know what you've done all these years?"

"In fact, I know everything, I just turned a blind eye."

"I know you suffered a lot of injustices in the past, but this is not an excuse, because Ning Quan is my son."

Ning Yuanwu's voice became deeper as he spoke.

"Your Majesty, I am wronged!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yuanhua suddenly panicked.

"Okay, there's no need to panic. I don't want to hear your explanation, and I don't want to embarrass you."

"I just hope...that this kind of thing won't happen again in the future."

"I have already given in. I have already exiled him to Beiting. What else do you want? Are you still not going to let him go?"

Ning Yuanwu continued.

"Your Majesty...I know I was wrong!"

Zhang Yuanhua quickly knelt on the ground and said.

"Well, it's good to know your mistakes."

"I hope you listened to what I just said. Okay, you can leave now."

After looking at Zhang Yuanhua, Ning Yuanwu waved his hand.

"Yes, I am resigning!"

Zhang Yuanhua quickly saluted and turned to leave.

After Zhang Yuanhua left, Ning Yuanwu sat on the dragon throne and remained silent for a long time.

"Ruoxi, if only you weren't a princess from the previous dynasty, I wouldn't have to be so embarrassed!"

After a while, Ning Yuanwu sighed.

.......

the other side.

After leaving the Prime Minister's Residence, Ning Quan quickly came to the Ministry of War and found his elder brother-in-law Li Taiheng, who was the Left Vice Minister in the Ministry of War.

Li Taiheng was of course very surprised by Ning Quan's arrival.

But after reading his father's letter, Li Taiheng was shocked.

"What... Father wants to marry Wanyue to His Highness?"

Li Taiheng said in disbelief.

"Haha, brother-in-law, I knew you would be surprised, but this is the truth."

"My father-in-law has already agreed to this marriage, and Wanyue is also willing."

Ning Quan said with a smile.

"How is it possible? Why is father so confused?"

After hearing this, Li Taiheng suddenly became anxious.

Wanyue is his younger sister, and he and his father love her very much.

Now her father actually wants to marry her to Ning Quan. Isn't this just sending his sister into the fire pit?

The key point is how could Wanyue agree?

Could it be that Ning Quan had deceived him?

Thinking of this, Li Taiheng decided to go home later to ask and find out what was going on.

"Don't worry, brother-in-law. I will definitely treat Wanyue well."

Looking at the anxious Li Taiheng, Ning Quan said with a smile.

"Your Highness, you may be speaking the truth, but have you ever thought that if you marry Wanyue, it will harm her?"

"Your Highness should be very clear about your current situation."

"You are going to Beiting. What is Beiting?"

"Not to mention, it's even a question whether His Highness can even reach Beiting."

Li Taiheng said angrily.

"That's why... I came to ask my brother-in-law for help in selecting two hundred elite soldiers for me."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid Wanyue and I would die on the road before we even reach Beiting."

Faced with Li Taiheng's questioning, Ning Quan was not annoyed at all, but smiled.

"Your Highness, two hundred elite soldiers are no problem. You have the imperial edict in hand, and you also have a letter from your father."

"But regarding Your Highness and Wanyue's marriage, I will definitely need to go back and discuss it with my father. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

Li Taiheng said decisively.

"Of course, after all, you care about Wanyue."

Ning Quan said with a smile.

"Well, thank you for your understanding, Your Highness. Wanyue is still young and has not considered many things carefully. I hope Your Highness will not blame me."

"Alright, without further ado, I will dispatch troops for Your Highness right now."

"Don't worry, Your Highness. They are definitely elite soldiers."

Li Tai bowed and said.

"Okay, thank you very much, uncle."

"Well, Your Highness, please sit down for a moment."

After saying that, Li Taiheng turned and left.

Ning Quan sat down leisurely and drank tea.

Soon, Li Taiheng brought two hundred soldiers into the courtyard.

Ning Quan came out and saw that they were indeed elite soldiers, all of them strong and murderous.

"Your Highness, they are all veterans with more than seven or eight years of service, and their combat effectiveness is very strong."

Li Taiheng introduced.

"Very good, thank you, uncle."

"Brother-in-law, Ning Quan has something to ask of me. Is that possible?"

Ning Quan smiled and nodded, then spoke.

"What is it, Your Highness, please tell me."

Li Taiheng was slightly stunned.

"That's right. I also plan to buy some weapons, armor and arrows. I wonder if my brother-in-law can give me some help." Ning Quan said with a smile.

"Weapons and armor? How many would Your Highness like?"

Li Taiheng frowned.

"Five thousand sets of weapons and armor, three thousand bows and arrows, and five hundred thousand arrows."

"hiss!"

"so much?"

Hearing this number, Li Taiheng took a breath of cold air.

If he didn't know that Ning Quan was preparing to go to Beiting, he would have thought that Ning Quan was going to rebel.

"Well, that's all. Brother-in-law, you know that Beiting is not peaceful."

"If I don't make adequate preparations, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to gain a foothold, and I may even lose my life." Ning Quan said with a smile.

"Your Highness, I cannot promise you this right now. I need to go back and discuss it with my father before making a decision."

After thinking for a moment, Li Taiheng spoke frankly.

"Of course, I'll have to trouble you, brother-in-law." Ning Quan nodded with a smile.

Li Taiheng's answer was not surprising. It would be strange if he agreed immediately.

Purchasing weapons is no small matter, so of course he has to go back and listen to his father's opinion.

In other words, whether this matter succeeds or not depends entirely on the marriage.

If the marriage goes through, of course there is no problem.

If not, he would definitely not help.

"Your Highness is too polite. Whether this will succeed or not is still uncertain."

Li Tai waved his hand horizontally.

"No problem, I understand."

"Then I won't bother my uncle anymore. Goodbye."

After saying that, Ning Quan turned and left.

After Ning Quan left, Li Taiheng immediately returned to the prime minister's residence.

Li Junchen seemed to have expected his son to come back and had been waiting in the study for a long time. Even Li Wanyue was there.

"Father, I heard that you agreed to my sister's marriage to His Highness the Ninth Prince?"

"Why are you so confused? Aren't you harming Wanyue?"

As soon as Li Taiheng entered the study, he asked angrily.

"Humph, I knew you would come back and question me."

"Do you think I want to agree? Your sister insists on getting married, what can I do?"

Li Junchen said unhappily.
