Jingyang, Prince Ning's Mansion.
Uncle Fu slowly reported the news.
Finally, let out a long sigh and summarize.
"The Lin family is almost finished!"
Ning Que put down the account book with a half-smile.
He was just taking back what belonged to him.
The moment he decided to divorce his wife, he had completely let it go.
The life and death of the Lin family has nothing to do with him anymore!
"Your Highness, the Gu family has sent an invitation."
"What day?"
"It's scheduled for two days later..."
"Two days later?"
"yes."
Uncle Fu was extremely sad and angry at this moment, and clenched his fists.
I'm so angry that my teeth are itching!
The Gu family is obviously deliberately provoking!
Two days later is the death anniversary of the old King Ning!
And Ning Que’s three brothers!
The Gu family was so kind that they specially chose this day to hold a banquet to entertain them.
Could this not be intentional provocation?
"Your Highness, how about refusing?"
"No need." Ning Que was very calm. "Since they invited me, I naturally have to go and show my support. But the gift must be carefully selected. Uncle Fu, go prepare a three-foot-long sandalwood coffin for me."
"Send... send a coffin?"
"good!"
Uncle Fu nodded repeatedly.
This is the prince of Prince Ning’s Mansion!
Be able to take it and put it down!
Revenge must be taken!
The old Prince Ning's ability to hold onto his position as a prince wasn't solely due to his benevolence and righteousness. With ruthless tactics, he eliminated numerous political enemies. The four foreign princes, oppressed by him, were forced to retreat to their own fiefdoms. They dutifully paid tribute every year, never daring to delay.
Look at Ning Que.
He will only do better than King Ning in the future!
Even if it takes three years, he will still be King Ning!
"One more thing."
"My father and brother died in battle at Yumen Pass. This matter cannot be let go. They were both military commanders, and it's understandable that they died on the battlefield wrapped in their horsehide. But I want to know who colluded with the foreign enemy and leaked the marching route. They can't die in vain!"
"Your Highness wants it?"
"Give this letter to Senior Sister for me."
"promise!"
Uncle Fu accepted the letter immediately.
Ning Que has never forgotten the blood feud over the years.
The people of Xiliang are hateful, and the traitors are even more hateful!
He wrote a letter to inform his master early on.
I hope my seniors can help me investigate.
Unfortunately, this matter was completely blocked.
Dafeng and Xiliang both kept silent.
Some people who knew the inside story were even silenced.
Fortunately, his senior sister is the best spy in the world.
He is a martial arts expert and is best at disguise.
The letter I received in the first half of the year was just about Xiliang.
I have been helping him investigate the situation over the years.
"Your Highness, is there any use for me in Jingyang?"
"Not yet." Ning Que smiled. "Uncle Fu has been running back and forth these past few days, which is not easy. I guess it was the King of Qi who sent some people to cause trouble today, deliberately stirring up trouble. They didn't even think about it. Jingyang is famous for its strong martial virtues. I didn't even know about it, and these people were beaten up, and they were even shouting that they would report it to the authorities. What a coincidence, I am an official!"
"hehe……"
Uncle Fu also smiled.
The King of Qi is a well-known old fox.
He has been in the court for decades.
When the old Prince Ning died in battle, Emperor Feng handed Jingyang over to the Prince of Qi to govern. However, taxes and rents still belonged to the Prince Ning's Mansion.
But the benefits of a county are far more than that.
Jingyang is very close to Chang'an.
It is a famous fertile land.
The local area is very fertile.
If you place some merchants here, you can make a lot of money.
Then he collected some bribes and appointed some officials.
Better able to expand their own power.
For example, the county magistrate of Jingyang was the King of Qi’s man.
Knowing that Ning Que came to provide disaster relief, he still wanted to cause trouble.
Ning Que didn't waste time talking to him.
Just take out the imperial edict from the emperor.
The county lieutenant was so frightened that he ran away in a panic.
Small people like them have to have the best of both worlds.
He is the King of Qi's man, but he can't afford to offend Ning Que!
Ning Que specially ordered people to strengthen the guard of the granary.
I really have to thank the Lin family for the 100,000 shi of corn.
The four major grain merchants in Jingyang were so anxious that they stamped their feet.
After seeing the Gu family selling off their stocks, they followed suit.
Grain prices in Jingyang plummeted again.
Ning Que took the opportunity to stock up some.
There will be many more places where food will be needed later.
The emperor has said so, so it is okay to issue an edict.
No way to get food!
The Chang'an granary was a store of military supplies.
Even if it means people starving to death, it must not be used.
Otherwise, if a war breaks out on the border, what will the soldiers eat?
"Your Highness!"
"We caught a thief."
"This bastard actually wanted to set fire to the warehouse!"
"oh?"
Tie Niu rushed in grunting.
He is a retainer of Prince Ning's Mansion.
He is actually from Xiliang.
Later he was defeated and captured and became a slave in the palace.
I was very resistant at first.
He even wanted to murder the old King Ning.
But later he found that the mansion treated him very well.
There is meat to eat every day.
Then he surrendered happily.
As a native of Xiliang, he is good at riding and shooting.
Naturally, he became a retainer of Prince Ning's Mansion.
He also followed Prince Ning to attack Xiliang.
They fought even harder than the people of Dafeng.
This made the people of Xiliang quite angry.
They all accused Tie Niu of becoming King Ning's dog.
Abandoned the glory of Xiliang Tianlang!
I never thought Tie Niu was quite real.
What's wrong with being a dog for Prince Ning?
Being a wolf?
You have to fill your stomach though!
He was hungry one day and full the next in Xiliang.
It’s considered good if you can get some bones.
He lived a very carefree life in Prince Ning's Mansion.
There is meat for every meal.
