Chen Kan returned to the restaurant dining room and sat down, and Chang Ning angrily thrust the sleeping little fat girl into Chen Kan's hands.
Yun Niang waved to the maid on the side and ordered: "Bring the food down and heat it up."
Chen Kan changed Fengyang into a comfortable position and hugged him, and said calmly: "It's not that I don't let you go out for a walk. Tanzhou is not peaceful recently. I won't go out unless I'm watching."
"You are a household god, who can compare to you!"
Chang Ning spoke angrily, clasping her hands in front of her chest, like an angry little daughter-in-law.
The main reason is that Chen Kan has not allowed his female relatives to go out these days, and their activities are limited to their rooms and the lobby of the restaurant.
Chen Kan and Da Zhu Xiao Zhu were okay, at least they still had things to discuss, but Chang Ning and Yun Niang really had nothing else to do except take care of their children.
Facing Chang Ning's complaints, Chen Kan shrugged and didn't bother to answer.
After being married for many years, he had long known this woman's temperament. If she said something to Chen Kan in reply, she would definitely nag him to death.
But to say she has any bad intentions is nonsense.
Women, that's what they are.
Seeing this, Yun Niang hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over, and said softly: "The Marquis hasn't had time to eat yet. The current situation is like this, and the Marquis is also considering our safety."
Hearing Yun Niang's words, Chang Ning felt a little unhappy and said, "I am the princess of the Ming Dynasty. When will I be in danger when I walk on the land of the Ming Dynasty?"
"Yes, yes, you are a princess, but there are always many bad people in the outside world."
Yun Niang coaxed Chang Ning like a child. After a few words, Chang Ning turned her resentment into joy.
Chen Kan couldn't help but cast an appreciative look at Yun Niang.
Not long after, the food was reheated and served.
After a whole day of mental work, Chen Kan was indeed hungry. He immediately hugged Fengyang with one hand, picked up the chopsticks with the other hand and began to eat the food on the table like a whirlwind.
As for the two women, although they were unhappy because of being imprisoned, they still felt a little distressed when they saw Chen Kan like this. Therefore, the distress of the two women was directly reflected in serving him food.
Not long after, a mountain of food was piled up in front of Chen Kan. Yun Niang took Feng Yang from Chen Kan's hand and said softly: "Eat slowly."
Chen Kan nodded, poured a glass of wine to go with the food, and started talking to the two women about the upcoming itinerary.
They were passing through Tanzhou on this trip, and their main goal was Yongding Guards. They definitely couldn't stay in Tanzhou longer.
After all, things in Yunnan cannot be dragged on forever, and things will eventually be resolved.
So Chen Kan's idea was to divide his troops into two groups.
Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanhe stayed in Tanzhou, and he first took people to Yongding Guard.
When the manpower assigned by the imperial court is in place, Da Zhu and Xiao Zhu will quickly follow.
As soon as Chen Kan finished speaking, the two women showed worried looks on their faces.
"Xiao Zhanji and Xiao He'er, after all, they have no experience of being independent, can they control Tanzhou?"
Chang Ning was a little worried. After all, these two children had never been away from them since they were young. Even if they were alone, their father would support them.
Now that they were suddenly placed in a dangerous environment, as an elder, it was inevitable that she would be a little worried.
Chen Kan shook his head and said: "You underestimate them too much. Your Majesty has left many back-ups for them, some of which I don't even know about. A small Tanzhou cannot trap them."
After listening to Chen Kan's words, the worry on Chang Ning's face subsided slightly.
But he still shook his head and said: "But after all, they don't have the experience to be independent. If something is not done properly, and their status is relatively special, there will always be some trouble."
Of course Chen Kan understood what Chang Ning wanted to express, which was that he was worried that they would mess up the matter.
After all, one of them is the grandson of the emperor and the other is the crown prince of the Han Dynasty. They are both the future of this big empire.
If you fight poorly in your first battle, your reputation will be greatly affected and your future development will be very detrimental, especially since it will not be easy to convince the public.
However, Chen Kan had already thought about these things.
Again, they will always grow.
What if they couldn't control a mere Tanzhou, let alone the two capitals and thirteen provinces actually controlled by the Ming Dynasty?
Chen Kan let go with the intention of testing them.
What's more, he has confidence in the disciples he personally taught.
If nothing could be done, Chen Kan could only give them two words - they deserved it.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Kan said calmly: "They always have to grow up and always have to be on their own. Hua Shi'er can control the situation alone in Beijing, but they are still two brothers fighting together. If they can't even do this They can’t control the situation, so I can only suggest that Your Majesty change the successor.”
Hearing the determination in Chen Kan's words, Chang Ning couldn't help but be a little stunned, and Yun Niang was also a little surprised. Neither of them seemed to have expected that Chen Kan would say such words.
But after thinking for a moment, they understood what Chen Kan meant.
Compared with personal friendship, the future of the Ming Empire is the most important.
It would be a disaster for the Ming Dynasty if the Ming Empire was handed over to a person who could not even control a single state.
Chang Ning sighed slightly and suddenly said: "You always have your own reasons. I am a woman and don't understand any important matters. Since you have made a decision, I should abide by it."
Chen Kan nodded, drank the wine in one gulp, and then said calmly: "Okay, you guys go to bed early tonight, and we will set off early tomorrow morning."
"What about you?"
Chen Kan put down his chopsticks, stood up slowly, and replied: "I still have things to do, you go to bed first, don't wait for me!"
Hearing what Chen Kan said, the two women nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Chen Kan stopped talking nonsense, summoned his personal guards, and left the restaurant.
Wang Can was taken away by Zhu Zhanji, and Chen Kan could only appoint a temporary personal guard.
He is also a young man named Xie Zhong.
Compared to Wang Can, Xie Zhong is more honest and honest.
So until Chen Kan took them out of Tanzhou City, Xie Zhong didn't ask what they were doing.
If it were Wang Can, it would be time to plan Chen Kan's travel route now.
Chen Kan led a group of personal guards out of Tanzhou City, and soon joined forces with the matchmaker and Wu Di's remaining men.
The main purpose of Chen Kan's trip out of the city was to see what Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanhe were going to do.
Don't look at Chen Kan's decisive words when facing Chang Ning, saying that if Zhu Zhanji could not control even Tanzhou, he would suggest that his majesty change the successor.
But that being said, after all, they were the disciples who were raised by himself, so it was impossible for Chen Kan to really let them go.
After all, Zhu Zhanji is just a fourteen-year-old child.
Born into a royal family, he should indeed take on more responsibilities.
But before taking responsibility, Chen Kan, as his teacher, also had the obligation to guide him on how to shoulder the responsibilities of an heir.
At the very least, a fourteen-year-old child cannot be completely dismissed because of one mistake.
After the people outside Tanzhou City reported the whereabouts of Da Zhu and Xiao Zhu to Chen Kan, they quickly disappeared into the night.
They also rush to help Da Zhu and Xiao Zhu wrap things up.
Chen Kan also led his personal guards and began to run towards a county called Ning County thirty miles outside Tanzhou City.
Ning County is the official office of the Tanzhou Defense Department.
The Ming Dynasty wanted to separate military and political affairs, so it was naturally impossible to station the army in the city.
The Tanzhou government office has been controlled by Zhu Zhanhe's men, not to mention that a group of literati cannot pose any threat to Zhu Zhan and Xiao Zhu.
Then the only place where an accident is possible is the military camp.
The three thousand people in Tanzhou are old and weak and have little fighting power.
But Chang Kun is a fierce general in the army, and the bodyguards he keeps around him are not just decorations. If he refuses to surrender and something unexpected happens, it will not be fun.
"Drive~"
Chen Kan drove the war horse quickly.
Ningxian County is located in the lower reaches of the Xiangjiang River, and was originally the garrison area of the Jiangnan Navy. However, the main battlefield of the Jiangnan Navy has now become the sea, and the binding force on the local garrison department is not that great.
Chen Kan guessed that the lack of restraint from Jiangnan Navy played a large part in why Tanzhou was rotten from top to bottom.
For thirty miles, it was basically a straight line along the Xiangjiang River, so in the middle of the night, Chen Kan had already arrived outside Ning County.
However, Chen Kan did not choose to enter the city, but instead led his men around the city and continued running downstream.
Beiling Bo Chang Kun's mansion is in Ning County, but whether he is planning to escape or be captured, there is no way he will stay in the mansion.
The Zhu brothers would not be stupid enough to take someone in the county, which would cause panic.
"who!"
As soon as Chen Kan approached the garrison commander's field three miles south of Ning County, he was stopped by a group of men in plain clothes but with embroidered spring knives hanging on their waists.
"Master Hou?"
The man approached Chen Kan with his men, and after seeing Chen Kan's face clearly, he couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Master Hou, why are you here?"
Chen Kan got off his horse, handed the reins to his entourage, and asked, "Where is His Majesty the Emperor's Grandson?"
The man hurriedly saluted and replied: "His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson is in the camp, and the Crown Prince is also there."
Chen Kan nodded and asked again: "Is it over?"
The man hesitated and said: "The knot is over, that's it... Oh, that's it. Go and see for yourself, Lord Marquis."
Chen Kan frowned and walked towards the brightly lit camp without asking any questions.
Just as he approached the camp, he heard Zhu Zhanji's angry roar.
"Trash, a bunch of trash, you can't even look at anyone, trash!"
Listening to Zhongzhu Zhanji's furious voice, Chen Kan opened the tent and walked in.
A pungent smell of blood suddenly penetrated his nostrils.
Chen Kan looked around and saw Zhu Zhanji standing on the throne and furious, with a group of people kneeling below, and in the center of the tent, there was a corpse lying.
Zhu Zhanhe stood beside Zhu Zhanji without saying a word, but his expression was ugly.
Until I accidentally looked up and found Chen Kan standing in the tent.
"Teacher, why are you here?"
