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

"This... is, I obey your order."

Chen Guodong frowned, hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed reluctantly.

He didn't want to give the silver to the Ninth Prince, but now that things had come to this, what else could he do?

"Come here, immediately count the 500,000 taels of silver and load it onto the truck."

Chen Guodong turned around and gave orders.

"As ordered."

An official beside Chen Guodong clasped his fists and accepted the order.

Then he called dozens of yamen runners and started moving the silver.

After a while, more than a dozen carriages were loaded.

"Ninth Prince, five hundred thousand taels are ready."

Chen Guodong stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Well, goodbye then."

Ning Quan nodded.

He glanced at the warehouse and then walked out.

“Ouch…”

As soon as Ning Quan left, Li Dezheng collapsed to the ground.

"Minister Li, the good things you've done seem to do more harm than good."

Looking at the embarrassed Li Dezheng, Chen Guodong said with regret.

"Minister Chen, I was not careful in this regard. Please bear with me."

Li Dezheng said dejectedly.

"Forget it, it's too late to say anything now. Let's think about how to explain it to the Second Prince."

Chen Guodong sighed and felt extremely depressed.

Five hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small amount of money. If the Ninth Prince took it away so easily, not only the Second Prince would be unhappy, but many people would be unhappy too.

........

royal palace.

Crown Prince Ning Gao hurried to the imperial study.

"See Father."

Ning Gao bowed to the middle-aged man sitting on the dragon throne.

"Excuse me, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Ning Yuanwu asked calmly.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty has appointed my ninth brother as the King of Beiting?"

Ning Gao asked hurriedly.

"Well, what? Do you have any objections?"

Hearing this, Ning Yuanwu frowned slightly.

"Father, my ninth brother is still young and I'm afraid he won't be able to manage the situation in Beiting."

"I think he is not suitable for the Beiting title."

Ning Gao answered with gritted teeth.

Ning Gao had just returned to the capital from the southern border when he received the news that Ning Quan had been canonized, and he rushed over immediately.

He couldn't understand why his father would send a remnant of the previous dynasty away when his father would have been the best offspring of the dynasty to die of old age in the capital.

Isn't this letting the tiger go back to the mountain?

"Oh, what should I do...? Do I need your advice?"

Looking at the prince, Ning Yuanwu sneered.

"Father, please forgive me. I dare not do this, but my ninth brother has blood from the previous dynasty, so I have to consider the Daqian country."

"Also... Father, it's fine if you send my ninth brother away, but how could you marry the Prime Minister's daughter to him?"

"Prime Minister Li Junchen comes from a wealthy family in Longyou and has a deep background. If my ninth brother marries her, my father will not be afraid..."

As Ning Gao spoke, a beautiful figure with a graceful figure appeared in his mind.

He had been fond of Li Wanyue for a long time, and now that he heard that she was going to marry Ning Quan, he naturally felt indignant.

"presumptuous!"

"You don't need to worry about who I enthrone."

"You are the crown prince, but you don't even have the heart to tolerate others."

"Yes, his mother is a princess from the previous dynasty. Does that mean I shouldn't acknowledge this son?"

"And... do you think I'm confused and don't know what you're thinking?"

"What about the wealthy families in Longyou, what about the country and the people? I think you are thinking about the prime minister's daughter, right? It's a pity that you can come up with so many excuses."

Ning Yuanwu shouted.

"Father, please forgive me. I dare not do that."

Ning Gao was so frightened by his father exposing his crime on the spot that he immediately knelt down.

"Hmph, I'm sorry you don't dare either."

"If it happens again, I will never forgive you."

"Get out of here quickly."

Ning Yuanwu said impatiently.

"Yes, Father."

"Father, take care of yourself. I will take my leave."

Ning Gao said respectfully, then left the imperial study.

"Damn it, you actually stole my woman."

"When I ascend the throne, I will tear you into pieces."

After leaving the imperial study, Ning Gao clenched his fists and said with gritted teeth.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. It's not worth hurting yourself."

"The Prime Minister's daughter is so beautiful that she can shame the moon and the flowers. It's no surprise that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has someone else in his heart."

After the prince left, the chief eunuch Wang Quan carefully advised.

"Huh, do you think I'm angry about this?"

"I'm angry because he, as the crown prince, has no brotherly love at all. He's really bringing shame to our Daqian."

"How can such a person ascend the throne as emperor?"

Ning Yuanwu said in a cold voice.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is still young after all. He will understand after he has experienced some things."

"Besides, although he holds a grudge against His Highness the Ninth Prince, he has always been able to uphold his duties. At least His Highness the Crown Prince has never been involved in those messy affairs."

Wang Quan continued.

"Well, if it weren't for this, do you think he could still hold on to the throne of Crown Prince?"

"Forget it. No matter how much they mess around, they won't make any waves anyway."

Ning Yuanwu waved his hand.

"It would be great if Your Majesty thought so." Wang Quan said with a smile.

"By the way, do you think Lao Jiu will run into trouble in the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War?"

Ning Yuanwu suddenly changed the subject.

"Your Majesty, there will certainly be setbacks, but I believe Your Highness the Ninth Prince will be able to resolve them."

"To be honest, Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince's personality is very much like yours. He remains calm in the face of adversity and remains unmoved even when faced with a mountain collapsing before him."

"This servant has just realized that His Highness the Ninth Prince has been forbearing for so many years."

Wang Quan said with a smile.

"Haha, are you praising him or mocking me?"

Ning Yuanwu laughed out loud.

"How dare I? Your Majesty, you are a man of unparalleled renown and a gift of divine might."

Wang Quan smiled awkwardly.

"Okay, stop flattering me."

"Everyone says you are an old fox, it's true."

"It's just... I don't know if sending him out this time is right or wrong."

Ning Yuanwu sighed and said with a deep look in his eyes.

..........

"Your Highness, what should we do with this silver?"

After coming out of the Ministry of Revenue, Liu Bowen asked for instructions.

"Everything will proceed according to plan. Deposit the silver into the bank first, and then use the silver notes to buy food and various supplies."

"Separate and do it immediately. Zhang Fei and Lu Bu stay behind."

Ning Quan ordered.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Liu Bowen and others took the order and then left in carriage.

Ning Quan took Lu Bu and Zhang Fei to the prime minister's residence.

Marrying Li Wanyue is an important part of Ning Quan's plan.

Not to mention that Li Wanyue is as beautiful as a fairy, the fact that the Li family is a wealthy family in Longyou will be a great help to Ning Quan in the future.

What's more, Ning Quan really likes Li Wanyue.

Who doesn’t like beautiful women?

Soon, Ning Quan arrived at the prime minister's residence.

"Father-in-law, your son-in-law is here to see you."

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Ning Yuan started shouting at the top of his voice.

The voice was so loud that it could be heard throughout the entire mansion.

Hearing the shouts, Li Junchen, who had just returned from court, almost vomited blood.

He was just about to call his daughter over to tell her to refuse the marriage, but he didn't expect Ning Quan to come so soon.

"Father-in-law, I greet you."

Just as I was thinking about it, Ning Quan had already entered the living room.

"Ahem...this old minister greets the Ninth Prince."

"I wonder what brings you here, Ninth Prince?"

Li Junchen suppressed his anger and bowed slightly.
