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

"Your Majesty, if we mobilize the troops from the capital, what will happen to the capital's safety?"

"The northern Shiwei have been making frequent moves recently and may move south at any time."

Zhang Shijie said quickly.

Zhang Shijie is the elder brother of Imperial Noble Consort Zhang Yuanhua and the uncle of the third prince Ning Jun.

The Imperial Noble Consort and Zhang Shijie have always wanted Ning Jun to be the crown prince.

The prince wanted to mobilize his troops, but of course he disagreed.

"Your Majesty, since a war with Qing is inevitable, we must ensure victory."

"The capital has a hundred thousand soldiers and horses. I think it should be no problem to withdraw fifty thousand and leave fifty thousand to guard the capital."

Minister of War Huang Chengyan stepped forward and said.

Huang Chengyan is on the prince's side, so of course he speaks for the prince.

"What is your opinion, Prime Minister?"

Hearing this, Ning Yuanwu looked at Li Junchen and said.

"I believe that Minister Huang's suggestion is feasible. The capital still has 30,000 imperial guards to protect it, which is enough to deal with the Oirat Mongols who are advancing southward."

"Besides, our relations with the Khitan have eased recently. If the Shiwei really move south, the troops stationed in Fanyang by the King of Zhenbei can also be mobilized."

Li Junchen pondered for a moment and said.

The King of Zhenbei also served as the Jiedushi of Hedong, with 100,000 soldiers under his command, and was specifically responsible for fighting against the Khitan.

Among the three kings of different surnames in Daqian, the Prince of Zhenbei is the closest and most loyal to His Majesty.

When His Majesty launched the mutiny, Prince Zhenbei made the greatest contribution.

"Okay, then let's do as the Prime Minister wishes. Withdraw 50,000 troops from the capital camp and place them under the Crown Prince's command."

Ning Yuanwu thought about it for a moment and then said.

"According to the order!"

All the ministers received the order.

Although Zhang Shijie was unhappy, since the emperor and the ministers all agreed, he could not stop it.

"Well, now that we've talked about military matters, let's talk about something else."

"I'm asking you, have you made any progress in the theft?"

Then, Ning Yuanwu said to everyone.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am incompetent and have not yet investigated the matter thoroughly."

Li Junchen quickly knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, please punish me."

The rest of the ministers also knelt down.

"Well, everyone, get up. You are not to blame for this. It is really too incredible."

"However, we must not relax on this matter. We must continue to investigate and find out who is behind this."

Ning Yuanwu said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will find out the truth as soon as possible." Li Junchen agreed quickly.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Prime Minister."

"Okay, you all go down."

Ning Yuanwu waved his hand.

Soon, the ministers retreated.

"Hi."

After the ministers left, Ning Yuanwu sighed.

The capital was robbed, and now there is a war with the Qing Kingdom. This series of events made him irritable and exhausted.

......

On the other side, Zhang Shijie came out of the imperial study and immediately went to ask to see Imperial Noble Consort Zhang Yuanhua.

In the court, Zhang Shijie was very angry that the prince's party had taken away his 50,000 troops.

So he wanted to discuss countermeasures with his sister to see if there was any way to remedy the situation.

Otherwise, the prince can only become more powerful.

"Brother, what brings you here?"

Seeing Zhang Shijie walk into the palace, Zhang Yuanhua greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Sister, something serious happened?"

Zhang Shijie said angrily, and then recounted what had just happened in the court.

"Brother, you are so confused. This is clearly a conspiracy by the prince to seize your 50,000 troops. Why didn't you refuse?"

Zhang Yuanhua immediately said anxiously when he heard this.

"Of course I know I'm against it, but all the ministers support the prince, what can I do?"

Zhang Shijie said angrily.

"Then what do you want me to do?"

Zhang Yuanhua asked.

"At the very least, we must ensure that the military power is taken back after the war, so as to prevent the prince from becoming more powerful." Zhang Shijie said dejectedly.

"oh, I understand now."

"I will find a chance to tell His Majesty about this matter."

"Brother, I have another idea. I wonder if it is feasible?" Zhang Yuanhua suddenly said.

"What are your thoughts? Tell me quickly."

Zhang Shijie said anxiously.

"Since the prince is plotting against us, we certainly can't just sit there and wait for death. What do you think about letting Jun'er go to the front lines as well?"

"I can tell His Majesty that Jun'er also wants to go to the front for training."

"This way, if we win, Jun'er will also get credit, and if we lose, it won't have anything to do with Jun'er."

Zhang Yuanhua said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Haha, wonderful!"

"It would be best to let Jun'er lead these 50,000 troops."

Zhang Shijie was stunned when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed.

"Yes, that's what I mean. Jun'er is not a child anymore. It's a good opportunity to train him."

Zhang Yuanhua nodded.

"Okay, then I'll wait for good news from my sister."

Zhang Shijie said happily.

"Brother, don't worry. I'll ask His Majesty for this matter, and he will probably agree to it."

Zhang Yuanhua patted his chest and promised.

"Well, that's good. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, Zhang Shijie left in a hurry.

.........

at the same time.

In the Prime Minister's Residence

Ning Quan and Li Wanyue stayed for the whole morning and only said goodbye and left after lunch.

When Ning Quan came back, he found that all preparations had been completed.

Seeing that everything was fine, Ning Quan said hello to Zhuge Liang and others and went back to his room to rest.

But the rest was fake, the intimacy with Hongxiu and the other one was real.

We are about to set off tomorrow. The journey to Beiting will pass through four states, nine prefectures, and more than twenty counties, and it will take nearly three months.

Most of them need to spend the night in the wild. Even if there is an inn to rest occasionally, it is basically impossible to solve physiological problems.

After all, Li Wanyue is here, right?

Ning Quan always has to be more cautious to avoid making Wan Yue jealous.

Logically speaking, after the family dinner last night, he and Wanyue were married, which meant that he could make a move on Wanyue.

But Wanyue is the daughter of the prime minister after all. She married him regardless of everything. Ning Quan can't just take her away on the street.

At least we have to reach Beiting, settle down, and then hold a proper banquet.

Since that was the case, Ning Quan thought, he might as well drain himself dry before leaving.

So, after Ning Quan returned to the house, he couldn't wait to knock down Hongxiu and the other two, and then went straight to Huanglong.

The two women also panted and quickly got into it.

One lovemaking wasn't enough, Ning Quan wanted to have a second lovemaking.

He didn't fall asleep until he had made the two women exhausted and he was also very tired.

As a result, I didn't wake up until the evening.

After waking up, Ning Quan only felt back pain, weak legs, and fatigue all over.

"Damn, it wasn't like this before. Did your abilities become useless after traveling through time?"

"Looks like I need more practice."

Ning Quan cursed inwardly, then looked at Hongxiu and the other person.

They are still fast asleep at this moment, probably because they are exhausted.

"As expected of a beauty, even her sleeping posture is so alluring."

Looking at the two women lying on the bed, Ning Quan exclaimed in admiration.

It goes without saying that Hongxiu and the other girl are both very good-looking, as they are able to serve as the prince's personal maids.

Her skin is delicate, tender and smooth, and her figure is graceful and beautiful with curves.

They are no worse than modern stars, even better, and they are authentic.

"Ah, the ancient times were great, with endless beauties to enjoy."

Ning Quan couldn't help but sigh.
