Back to the day I married my second wife, I turned around and married my ex-husband's uncle
Chapter 582 Lu Lingsong was executed
Although Jiang Ningwan and Qin Shuangchi decided to attack Nanhe, the border town of Dahan.
However, this time the decision was still sent to Kyoto City at an urgent speed of 800 miles to consult the emperor.
The emperor replied with one word: Beat!
At this time, Jiang Ningwan and the others had already made plans.
Once the order arrives, take action immediately.
In the dark night, Qin Shuangchi led the army to attack the enemy camp at night, attracting all the enemy's attention.
Jiang Ningwan led another team and took a detour by water. They cut off their bridge and burned their boats in the rear.
The tens of thousands of Dahan troops were blocked in Nanhe and surrounded.
The battle lasted for more than ten days.
He took four breaks to replenish his strength and finally took Nanhe in one fell swoop!
At this time, Dahan also sent someone to deliver a letter of peace talks.
Willing to pay compensation and hope for a ceasefire.
I don't want Ling Wei's army to continue attacking.
Jiang Ningwan and his men had no intention of continuing the attack, so they accepted the peace talks. After receiving the compensation, Jiang Ningwan also prepared to return to Beijing to report.
Chongping won the battle and captured Nanhe City of Dahan, as well as the armistice compensation.
The news spread back to Kyoto, inspiring everyone.
After Jiang Ningwan and others arrive in Kyoto City, they will be rewarded according to their merits.
Qin Wenli originally wanted to appoint Jiang Ningwan as the general of national defense, but Jiang Ningwan refused.
"Your Majesty, when I was only General Ling Wei, there were constant disturbances in the court. I cannot take on the position of Protector of the Nation."
Qin Wenli frowned and sighed, "If you don't want to, what about the King of Chu?"
Jiang Ningwan also shook her head, "He doesn't want to either."
Qin Wenli said helplessly: "Well, I won't force you. I will choose another candidate."
But in the end, no one was able to take on the position of General Protector of the Nation.
Yan Huixue made great contributions this time and was promoted again.
During this period, the Dali Temple had also found evidence of Lu Lingsong's collusion with Dahan, formally convicted him, and executed Lu Lingsong.
Before the execution, Jiang Ningwan went to meet Lu Lingsong alone.
Lu Lingsong in the cell looked lifeless and haggard.
Jiang Ningwan spoke slowly, "The Dali Temple found out that you've had dealings with people from Dahan for a long time. I think... you colluded with them after Liyang Rumeng got drunk."
"Have you met Qin Beihuang?"
Otherwise, how could Lu Lingsong know so much about what happened on the night Qin Beihuang died?
Lu Lingsong smiled coldly and looked up at her, "Why? So there are things in this world that you are afraid of?"
Jiang Ningwan said calmly, "If you tell the truth, you and your sister can be buried together."
"Otherwise, I will dig up her grave and whip her corpse."
At that moment, Lu Lingsong rushed forward with bloodshot eyes, grabbed the cell door and pounded on it, screaming, "Jiang Ningwan! You vicious woman! My sister is dead, and you won't let her go!"
Jiang Ningwan took a step forward calmly, "Whether to let her go or not is up to you."
To cut the grass, one must root it out. If Qin Beihuang is really still alive, she will hunt him down to the end, no matter where he goes.
Although Lu Lingsong was angry, he also knew that he was no longer qualified to be Jiang Ningwan's enemy.
The hand that was tightly gripping the cell door slowly loosened.
He also calmed down.
He spoke slowly, "I was there the day you killed him."
"I rescued him, but his injuries were too severe. After he woke up, he only lived for half a day before he died."
"If he were still alive, why would I have found someone to impersonate him? There were so many loopholes that my plan failed!"
Although the impostor had prepared for a long time, Dahan said that he was a very powerful master and his flaws would never be discovered.
In the end, it was discovered.
He showed the fake the portraits of many important people and asked him to remember them, but he forgot about Qin Beihuang's deceased mother.
Who would have thought that Jiang Ning would bring up a dead person in the evening?
Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan thought for a moment and realized that if Qin Beihuang was really still alive, Lu Lingsong would not have to take the risk of finding someone to impersonate him.
"Then I'll trust you this time. Lu Qingheng's grave is safe."
After saying that, Jiang Ningwan turned and left.
Two days later, Lu Lingsong was executed.
All accomplices were executed.
After resolving the internal troubles, Daning completely regained its peace.
Jiang Ningwan's power was at its peak, but there was no more criticism in the court.
The court officials began to persuade the emperor to take concubines and fill his harem. After all, the emperor only had one biological son.
At first, Qin Wenli could still withstand the pressure, but as time went on, in order to balance the court, he had no choice but to choose a concubine.
Eight daughters of important officials were selected at one time and given titles according to their appearance and talents.
Under the lush garden trees, Jiang Ningwan lay on a bamboo chair and murmured, "Isn't it a bit too much to choose eight at once..."
Qin Shuangchi narrowed his eyes and waved his folding fan, saying quietly, "It wasn't chosen for you, why do you think it's too much?"
"Based on the number of harems in the past, these eight are far from enough. I estimate that a large number of people will be admitted in the draft next year."
Jiang Ningwan picked up a piece of cake and started eating. "What do you think would happen if you took that position?"
Qin Shuangchi paused in fanning himself, a hint of alertness flashing in his eyes.
"Don't think about things that didn't happen."
Jiang Ningwan turned to look at him, "What if?"
"If you were in that position, would you take a concubine? Is this the only way to maintain a balanced government? Would marrying the ministers' daughters make them behave themselves?"
Jiang Ningwan looked very serious, which made Qin Shuangchi sweat profusely.
After hesitating for a moment, he spoke, "To ensure the stability of the throne, the royal line needs to continue. However, with so many children, it would be very dangerous for the Queen to bear them all alone. Giving birth for a woman is like walking through the gates of hell."
"If it were me, I wouldn't do anything to wrong you. You are more important than the throne."
Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was extremely shocked.
"I am more important than the throne?"
Qin Shuangchi smiled and said, "I have never been very interested in the throne. I just had no choice but to make this plan."
If his life had not been repeatedly threatened, he would never have thought of rebelling.
"If I hadn't been born into a royal family, I think I would have been free and unrestrained, wandering around the world..."
After saying that, Qin Shuangchi looked at her, "What about you? What kind of life do you want to live?"
Jiang Ningwan thought about it and suddenly felt a little confused.
"I don't think I've ever thought about that."
"As long as my family and friends are safe, anything is fine."
"My father always favored Jiang Xiru in the past. Whenever I was upset, I would run to the Ling family. The atmosphere at the Ling family was great, with lots of fun and fights. Although I would sometimes get punished for getting into trouble, it was still fun."
"I used to hate myself for not being a man and not being able to follow my grandfather and uncle into battle, but later it became a reality. A girl can also fight in battle."
“For me, there seems to be no regrets.”
"My only regret is probably that God allowed me to be reborn, but not when my mother was still alive..."
Jiang Ningwan smiled again and said, "But one shouldn't be so greedy! I'm already very satisfied with what I have now!"
Qin Shuangchi looked at her deeply, his eyes full of tenderness and affection. He took her hand and said, "Let's go to the temple to pray tomorrow. Maybe the Bodhisattva can make up for your regrets."
Jiang Ningwan was startled and chuckled, "How can I make up for this regret? Rebirth again? What nonsense are you talking about?"
As she spoke, she suddenly realized and slapped Qin Shuangchi's hand away, "You want to pray for a child!"
Qin Shuangchi smiled and pulled her into his arms, "Just think of it as going out to relax."
