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

"You're right, he might be that kind of person."

"Okay, you can leave now! I want to be alone!"

After a long time, Ning Yuanwu sighed lightly and waved at Li Junchen.

"According to the order!"

Li Junchen bowed deeply and then slowly retreated.

After Li Junchen left, the imperial study fell into silence.

"Hey!"

"If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have taken on this."

After a long time, Ning Yuanwu sighed.

.............

Two days later, shocking news came from the court.

His Majesty issued an edict, conferring upon the Ninth Prince Ning Quan the title of King of the Northwest, governing the three counties of Beiting, Anxi, and Hexi, and granting him a title of 3,000 households.

He also held power over the countries in the Western Regions, commanded the troops of three counties, and was responsible for Tubo and Daqin.

This news was like a bolt from the blue, instantly exploding throughout the entire imperial city.

All the ministers and officials were stunned.

Unexpectedly, the ninth prince, who had always disliked Ning Quan, was granted the title of king and was given the power to rule over three counties.

This is a right that no other prince has ever had.

For a time, there were many different opinions and all kinds of rumors spread throughout the capital.

“Have you heard?”

"I heard that the Ninth Prince is an ambitious man who wants to seize your majesty's throne."

"I've also heard that although His Highness the Ninth Prince is handsome and talented, he is a cruel and vicious person."

"I heard that the Ninth Prince wanted to kill His Majesty."

"You're sick. How do you know what kind of person the Ninth Prince is?"

“…..”

People throughout the imperial city were talking about this matter.

The Third Prince, the Sixth Prince and others who received the news could not believe it.

This news really shocked them!

No one has ever looked down on Ning Quan.

Who would have thought that Ning Quan had climbed to such a height in less than two years since arriving in Hulun.

"Old Nine, he's so powerful!"

The third prince murmured.

"Yeah, Third Brother, I didn't expect him to get this far. It's scary."

The sixth prince said.

"Yes, Ninth Brother is too terrifying. His rise to prominence is so fast that it really puts us to shame!"

"Third brother, do you have any way to deal with him?"

The Seventh Prince's expression changed slightly.

"What can I do? He's far away in Hexi."

The third prince shook his head bitterly

"So what should we do? Should we just watch him continue to grow bigger?"

The Sixth Prince said anxiously.

"Ugh!"

Hearing this, the Third Prince sighed.

..................

Xiping City, Hexi Protectorate.

"Your Highness is delighted. His Majesty has issued an edict to appoint you as the King of the Northwest, controlling the three counties of Hexi, Beiting, and Anxi."

Zhuge Liang hurried in to report.

"What? You're going to crown me the King of Northwest? Is that true?"

"So fast?"

Ning Quan was immediately surprised.

"Your Highness, of course it is true. His Majesty has personally issued an order, and ** has also sent a letter to confirm this matter. However, he also urged Your Highness to send troops to Jiannan as soon as possible."

Zhuge Liang confirmed.

“Okay, okay, hahahaha!”

“I didn’t expect it to work.”

Ning Quan laughed out loud.

"Well, since you've been so kind to me, I can't let you down."

"Where is General Lu Bu now?"

Ning Quan quickly calmed down and asked.

"Your Highness, General Lu will take another four days to arrive in Xiping."

"good!"

"Come, inform General Yue immediately and have him lead his troops to set off first. We will pursue General Lu after he arrives."

Ning Quan immediately gave the order.

"As ordered."

The guards immediately obeyed the order.

"Wait, immediately notify the officials of all ranks in Hexi and the generals of the Hexi Army to come and discuss this matter."

Ning Quan gave another order.

"promise!"

The guards turned and left.

In less than half an hour, officials of all ranks in Hexi and generals of the Hexi army arrived one after another.

"Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness, on being granted the title of King, ruling the three counties of Hexi and commanding great power in all directions."

"Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness! You have been granted the title of King and now command the three counties of Hexi."

After everyone arrived, they congratulated Ning Quan.

Apparently they all received the message too.

Regardless of whether they are happy or not, His Majesty the Ninth Prince is now their legitimate superior.

"Haha, no problem. Please take a seat."

Ning Quan said with a smile.

Afterwards, everyone sat down and waited for Ning Quan's instructions.

"I have summoned you all here today because I have something to discuss with you."

Ning Quan glanced around and spoke loudly.

"Your Highness, please speak."

Everyone said in unison.

"Okay, then I'll be frank. I've decided to reassign all the officials in Hexi."

Ning Quan showed a gleam of light and spoke slowly.

"ah....."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the officials present changed.

They had not expected that His Highness would make such a big move as soon as he took office.

Your Highness is planning to reshuffle the cards.

"Why? Don't you agree?"

Ning Quan looked at everyone and said coldly.

"Your Highness, we are willing to obey your arrangements."

An official said stubbornly.

When other officials heard this, they quickly agreed.

Are you kidding? Ning Quan has already been crowned King of Northwest. How dare they disobey?

What's more, new officials have three things to do when they take office, so official adjustments are necessary.

If they want to keep their positions or make further progress, it will depend on their future abilities.

"Well, that's good that you don't have any objections."

"Regarding personnel arrangements, this king will announce them in the next few days."

"During this period, you still have to perform your duties and make sure nothing goes wrong."

Ning Quan said lightly.

"Don't worry, Your Highness!"

"We will definitely live up to our mission!"

"Your Highness, don't worry!"

After hearing Ning Quan's words, many officials made assurances.

"I just talked about local officials, and now I will talk about the Hexi Army."

"I, following His Majesty's order, have decided to send troops to Jiannan."

"The Hexi Army will also be dispatched on this expedition. Generals, if anyone among you wishes to join the army, you may sign up now."

Immediately afterwards, Ning Quan spoke to the generals in Hexi with a burning gaze.

"this......"

After hearing Ning Quan's words, the Hexi generals present looked at each other with a hint of hesitation in their eyes.

"What? You all don't want to go?"

Ning Quan snorted coldly.

"Your Highness, I am willing to go!"

Finally, a general stood up and spoke.

"I am willing to do so."

If there is a first person, there will naturally be a second person.

Soon, half of the generals expressed their willingness to go to the battle, but half were still unwilling.

"Okay, generals who are willing to fight, please go back and prepare later, and set out with the army tomorrow!" Ning Quan nodded.

"promise."

Many generals received the order.

"Those of you who are left and don't want to go to the battle, do you have any reasons?"

Then Ning Quan turned his gaze to the remaining half of the generals and said coldly.

Ning Quan asked the generals from Hexi to fight in order to give them a chance.

I didn't expect these people to be so ungrateful.

He just wanted to hear what excuses these people had.

"Your Highness, I have been ill recently and cannot go on the expedition."

"Your Highness, I was seriously injured some time ago and cannot go on the expedition."
