"Jiang Yu!
"Did you hear everything sir said?"
"It's Your Highness, please go and do it immediately!"
"Remember, we must pay attention to the secret, and we must not let it discover the clues. Our people's foundation in Huainan is still shallow, so we must not take it lightly!"
"yes!"
After Ning Fan gave some instructions, Jiang Gu left quickly. Zhuge Liang looked at his leaving figure, his eyes gradually becoming deeper: "My lord, the Jinyi Guards have now become our arms, so we should prepare early!"
"Um!"
Ning Fan responded softly and looked at him deeply: "Before I left for Jiangnan, I ordered Jia Xu to turn the backbone of the Jin Yiwei from light to dark!"
"Now that the imperial court has control over the Chen family's weapons private shop and the Jiangnan racecourse, one of the four prominent families is gone. As Mr. Shen said, we can take this opportunity to continue to suppress the four prominent families!"
"My lord, the power you have now cannot be ignored easily even by His Majesty!"
"In my opinion, Your Majesty will not take back power, especially the Jin Yiwei!" Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed: "The Jin Yiwei was built by you, my lord. Even if His Majesty takes it back, he will never use it easily!"
"On the contrary, the royal guards are in your hands, my lord, and you are the royal guards of the imperial court!"
After hearing Zhuge Liang's trade-offs, Ning Fan felt relieved. No matter whether Emperor Yu moved him or not, the power he had now was enough to protect himself!
"Second Master, Your Majesty and Concubine Xian have arrived with Princess Leyao!"
"Um?"
“It’s the first time that my father and my mother and concubine came out of the palace together!”
…
"My son, please see my father, the emperor, and my mother's concubine!"
"Get flat!"
Emperor Yu waved his hand and his eyes fell on the three people behind Ning Fan. Two men on the left and one on the right were like door gods, standing beside him. There was also a young man with a slender figure and a delicate face, who looked like a scholar. The attire and temperament on his body are exceptionally outstanding!
The most commendable thing is that the eyes of these three people looked at him without the slightest fear and awe, but their expressions were very calm!
"Thank you, Father!"
After Ning Fan stood up, he grinned at Concubine Xian: "Concubine, why are you leaving the palace too?"
"If you have nothing to do, just come out with your father for a walk."
"Father, mother, concubine, please come inside!"
Ning Fan respectfully invited the two of them into the main hall, looked at Lin Yong aside and said, "Lin Yong, go and make preparations. Today, my father and mother will have dinner at my residence, and they will serve all the signature dishes of our palace." !”
"yes!"
"Wangfu's signature dish?"
A look of surprise appeared on Concubine Xian's face, and Ning Fan chuckled: "Concubine, some time ago, when I had nothing to do, I personally trained a few cooks!"
"Okay!" Concubine Xian looked at Emperor Yu with a smile: "Your Majesty, it seems that we are in good luck today!"
"Second brother, didn't you see me?"
"why do you ignore me?"
"Father, I came to my second brother's house to play with him a few days ago, and he actually sent someone to kick me out. It's so abominable!"
When Ning Yao saw that Ning Fan had completely ignored her, she became furious and filed a complaint against Emperor Yu!
"oh?"
Emperor Yu raised his eyes and glanced at Ning Fan, then stared at Ning Yao with a straight face: "So, you sneaked out of the palace a few days ago?"
"Well!"
Ning Yao smiled and hid silently behind Concubine Xian: "Concubine, I know I was wrong!"
Although Ning Yao was not born to Concubine Xian, since the Queen passed away, this girl and Concubine Xian have become very close, and their relationship is extraordinary!
However, Ning Fan thought about it carefully and found that the mother-in-law seemed to have a good relationship with everyone. Whether it was the concubines in the harem, the princes and princesses, or even the civil and military officials in the court, she seemed to be able to speak a few words!
"Okay, your father doesn't mean to punish you. If you want to leave the palace in the future, you should say hello to your father first. Don't sneak out privately!"
"Uh-huh!"
Ning Yao nodded obediently and walked to Ning Fan silently: "Second brother, you haven't been to Fengxiang Tower during this time, and Miss Qingyue has never appeared!"
"A wealthy businessman spent tens of thousands of dollars to invite Miss Qingyue to sing in a play, but in the end, she didn't even meet him!"
"When can we go shopping again? I have admired Miss Qingyue for a long time!"
When Ning Fan heard Ning Yao's words, his eyes lit up. This Fengxiang Tower is an excellent place to increase reputation points!
"Okay, I'll see my father and mother off later, and I'll take you for a walk!"
"Really?"
"Um!"
Seeing Ning Fan nodding heavily, Ning Yao suddenly looked happy and sat down next to Ning Fan obediently, waiting for the meal to be served.
"Second brother, tell me what you saw and heard from Jiangnan and his party this time!"
"Yes, Father!"
Ning Fan started from leaving Beijing and recounted his trip to the south of the Yangtze River. When he mentioned the trapped camp, Emperor Yu's face lit up: "Where are these eight hundred trapped men now?"
"Back to my father, I placed him in the Western Camp!"
"oh?"
There was a strange color in Emperor Yu's eyes. He looked at Ning Fan and said with stern eyes: "If I remember correctly, the competition between the new armies will begin soon, right?"
"Father, there is still nearly a month!"
"Um!"
"This trip has been well done. The Duke of Zhen has received news that there is no movement in the direction of Huainan. It seems that Lu Kan has not made up his mind after all!"
“So best!”
Ning Fan had an elegant smile on his face: "Not only is he unprepared, but we also shouldn't fight him at this time!"
"Although Duke Zhen Guo has 200,000 frontier troops under his command, Lu Kan has 300,000 troops and horses. It's winter at this time, so it's not a good opportunity for the soldiers to travel long distances!"
"That's right!" Emperor Yu nodded in agreement: "Lu Kan has always been scheming, and he won't do anything he's not sure of easily!"
"Besides, the sixteen states of Huainan need to be defended, and it is impossible for all the 300,000 troops under his command to come out."
"Now that we have captured the Chen family, we have mastered the Jiangnan racecourse and the weapons private shop. Within half a year, the combat power of our Dayu soldiers will be greatly improved!"
"Looking at Huainan, using the land of sixteen states to support an army of 300,000 people, Lu Kan is under considerable pressure!"
"Father, I have received news that the Nanman delegation intends to come to Beijing!"
"oh?"
A look of surprise appeared on Emperor Yu's face: "Is the news accurate?"
"Yes!" Ning Fan nodded slightly and said softly: "Master Zhao should be arriving in Beijing in the next two days. As far as I know, this trip does not seem to be going well!"
"Those barbarians are very arrogant. This old fox, Lu Kan, took advantage of the Southern Barbarians' power to suppress our envoys. He really deserves death!"
Seeing that Ning Fan had a hint of anger on his face, Emperor Yu looked startled: "I haven't received any news from Huainan yet. Please tell me what happened in Huainan!"
"yes!"
