Xie Zhun slightly curved his lips, his eyes full of certainty, "Don't worry, just speed things up..."
But this will not cause them to lose their composure...
Ning Xi'er was focused on looking ahead and didn't notice Xie Zhun's gaze fixed on her...
I feel sorry for you.
He was never determined to get that position, but rather went with the flow.
But after so long, these three months, Xie Zhun felt that he had thought about it enough.
Even disregarding their own experiences, just considering Ning Xi'er and the Chen family...
The chaotic management of the desolate region, the misconduct of the former magistrate of Pingyuan County, and the situation when an epidemic broke out in Yongning County...
Regardless of whether the plague was man-made, the fact that people from several counties were frequently driven away in an attempt to save his life...
Now, the capital is entirely under the Crown Prince's control, but the other side still hasn't given up!
Driven by selfish motives and a desire to wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop, they were willing to risk provoking neighboring countries and launching border incursions...
Everyone in the court was in danger... and no one cared.
What can be expected of such a person once he sits on the throne?
Xie Zhun is not afraid of death; even without Ning Xi'er's spatial ability, he can still do his best to protect those around him...
But he didn't want to live a life of humiliation, handing over the empire that his father had so diligently protected to such a scoundrel!
His father misjudged him, even though the choice is no longer in his hands...
He also wants to take back the court that his father has so diligently protected!
It's lamentable that even so, Ning Xi'er's two elder brothers, besieged on all sides, are still holding fast for the people of Great Yan...
That is why Ning Xi'er had to separate from him.
After thinking it through, Xie Zhun realized that some actions were not merely words...
Instead, he needed to act quickly and restrain the Crown Prince in court to give Ning Xi'er's two brothers more breathing room...
The houses in front of us are not for the villagers to live in, but for stockpiling strategic materials in the wasteland.
Last night, after leaving the tent, Xie Zhun immediately dispatched Qin Yuan to Pingyuan to purchase materials and supplies for building the warehouse.
On the day Liao Yueming and Xue Lin returned from the wasteland, they had already contacted their men and were mobilizing...
Unexpectedly, the huge sum of money that Xue Lin had just received in twenty carts was immediately put into use.
Although the people of Pingyuan are cunning, no one would pass up a large sum of money...
Under the guise of resettling refugees, Xue Lin purchased large quantities of timber and stone, and placed some of Qin Yuan's elite troops into the transport teams.
At the beginning of negotiations with the stationed troops, the work of the village chief visiting households to communicate and other tasks were carried out simultaneously by all parties.
Xie Zhun personally visited Yan Lang.
Xuanfeng and his men remained hidden in the shadows, Xie Zhun having made two preparations...
Yan Lang's family in the capital is in the hands of the Crown Prince, which means he is destined not to side with Xie Zhun...
However, his duty as a soldier and the current situation prevented him from readily saying no.
Xuanfeng and the others did not receive orders to take action until Xie Zhun emerged from Yan Lang's presence...
Tacit approval is also a form of support.
The left and right supervisors have only just arrived, and given Yan Lang's position, he can't possibly handle their tasks...
Hsieh Chun personally took charge.
Unable to win over Qiu Zhong, Xie Zhun immediately detained him, replaced him with his own men, and disguised them.
Xie Zhun was somewhat surprised by the attitude of Yang Tingxiu, the Right Military Supervisor.
Previously, it was through communication between Eunuch Xu and the military supervisors that the prisoners from the Prince's Mansion and the Duke of Huguo's Mansion were able to rest and recuperate.
At that time, Eunuch Xu mentioned that Yang Tingxiu, the Right Supervisor, did not seem to have any hostility.
Xie Zhun made a tentative probe, and Yang Tingxiu bowed deeply, "I will obey Your Highness's orders..."
Xie Zhun raised his eyebrows. Yang Tingxiu was someone previously unknown and unremarkable...
But after a brief conversation, Xie Zhun knew that this person was a man of great depth and hidden abilities.
His words were absolutely brilliant.
In front of Xie Zhun, he said, "I am at the Princess's behest"...
Xie Zhun did not fly into a rage at such an overstepping of boundaries, but he narrowed his eyes slightly.
Yang Tingxiu was frank and said with his hands clasped, "It's a request from a friend."
Friends?
Xie Zhun almost immediately dismissed the possibility that his friend came from the Marquis's residence.
The father and his other siblings wished they could kill him, so how could they possibly disobey Ning Wei and secretly plant someone in his place?
Moreover, the position of military supervisor, though harsh and cold, offered the opportunity to assassinate Xie Zhun at close range and surrender to the Crown Prince...
However, a spot is hard to come by.
The fact that Yang Tingxiu was able to be placed in this position suggests that the forces behind him are not insignificant.
Judging from Yang Tingxiu's demeanor, he seems to have the bearing of a scholar who passed the imperial examinations; if he were a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations)...
Perhaps Prime Minister Shen Qing, who served as an examiner for the imperial examinations several times, had a mentor-mentee relationship with him...
Xie Zhun could guess that the other party was from Shen Qing's side, but he couldn't tell exactly who it was...
He wasn't interested; after all, Ning Xi'er was now in his hands and in his heart...
What else is he afraid of?!
"I hope all of this will end soon!"
Xie Zhun lowered his head, looking at the person who barely reached his shoulder...
Finally, I suppressed the question that was on my mind...
Who exactly is this old friend?
