Chapter XXIV
The Imperial City.
Zhengyang Palace's Administrative Hall.
Ning Mo walked in with a bamboo scroll in his hand. When he saw Emperor Chu, he said,
He cupped his hands and bowed.
" Greetings, Your Majesty!"
She looked at Ning Mo.
The Chu Emperor smiled.
"No need for formalities, quickly get up! Why did he come here today?”
Hearing the Chu Emperor's question,
Ning Mo also straightened his body and took out a large roll of bamboo from the sleeve of his official robe. He handed it to the old eunuch and asked him to hand it over to the table in front of the Chu Emperor.
He said,"
"Your Majesty, the new army, Great Chu's Black Knights, has a total of 28,000 people. The selection has been completed. Now, we only need to wait for the armor, equipment, and horses to be in place before we can begin official training!”
Hearing this.
The Chu Emperor nodded his head in satisfaction and glanced at the bamboo scroll that Ning Mo had handed over. After understanding the general situation, he casually placed it aside and did not pay much attention to it.
Towards the Chu Emperor's attitude…
Ning Mo was not surprised at all.
This was because the Chu Emperor definitely knew about the news of the new army of Great Chu's Black Knights!
He would never believe that there were no spies or intelligence agents of the Chu Emperor in the army!
After all, after Ning Mo had used the template for the Great Chu Black Knights, there were quite a few people who had secretly revealed their identities as spies and intelligence personnel of the Chu Emperor to him. Even Han Zhao was one of the Chu Emperor's men.
However…
Now, all the intelligence personnel, including Han Zhao, were 100% loyal to Ning Mo. Only Emperor Chu was second!
This was very normal!
Ning Mo didn't mind. If he was the Chu Emperor, he would do the same.
"I already know about the new army.”
The Chu Emperor stood up.
He walked down the steps.
"All the resources and silver will be distributed to you on time. Warhorses and equipment will also be prepared for you immediately! I will hand over the new army to you, hoping that you can create an invincible army for West Chu!”
Ning Mo cupped his hands.
He said in a clear voice,
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will not let down Your Majesty!”
He nodded in satisfaction.
Emperor Chu had already arrived in front of Ning Mo and pulled him to sit down on the steps.
He chuckled.
"Since you are Old Li's disciple, and I have been brothers with Old Li for many years, you can be considered my disciple. From now on, you will find time to come to Zhengyang Palace every afternoon.”
At this point.
The Chu Emperor stroked his beard.
"Mo 'er, are you willing to take this old man as your master?”
Hearing the Chu Emperor's words,
Ning Mo looked a little confused."
"This…Your Majesty, isn't this against the rules?”
Pa, pa, pa--
He patted Ning Mo's armor heavily.
The Chu Emperor smiled and said,
"Courtesy, courtesy! Zhen is the Emperor of West Chu, whatever zhen wants to do, then do it! Who would dare to refuse to accept you as a disciple? Old Li doesn't even dare to object!"
There was a pause.
The Chu Emperor looked at Ning Mo with a burning gaze.
He spoke again,
"However, I heard that because Old Li is your teacher, he got a lot of your business for free. I am also your teacher. How much of your business do you think I can get?”
Swoosh!
Ning Mo looked at Emperor Chu with a dull gaze.
This little old man didn't look like an emperor, but more like a greedy little old man!
He pondered for a moment.
Ning Mo said,"
"Your Majesty, the shares that have already been divided with Teacher, the various noble families, and the dignitaries can't be divided anymore! However, I still have a few businesses that are very suitable for working with the palace treasury. Moreover, the profits are not smaller than coal and other businesses!”
Swoosh--
A satisfied smile appeared on the Chu Emperor's face.
She patted Ning Mo's shoulder."
"Since Mo 'er has said so! Then I'll wait and see…How will the shares be divided? How much do I get? What do I have to pay?"
After pondering for a moment.
Ning Mo said to Emperor Chu,"
"Your Majesty doesn't need to pay anything, but I want to borrow the name of the Imperial Family!”
He stroked his beard.
The Chu Emperor looked at Ning Mo."
"Tell me what business it is!"
After hearing Emperor Chu's words, Ning Mo didn't hide anything and directly told him about the business he wanted to do with Emperor Chu.
There were only a few-
Green salt.
At the steel factory.
Tea leaves.
Paper.
And other relatively large and sensitive businesses.
Ning Mo had originally planned to cooperate with the royal family in these businesses. After all, it was too sensitive, especially the steel factory.
Very quickly.
An afternoon passed.
After Ning Mo and the Chu Emperor discussed the business share and some other minor matters, they signed a contract. His cooperation with the West Chu royal family officially began.
Although he had planned to cooperate with the West Chu royal family, he did not expect it to be so fast.
But how should he put it?
Since there was a chance, he naturally had to seize it!
Administrative Hall.
Because he only had to give up the name of the royal family.
The Chu Emperor was delighted to receive so much money. During this period of time, he had been constantly receiving secret reports that those who cooperated with Ning Mo had made a lot of money.
Although he was the emperor, he should not be jealous.
However, the Chu Emperor was a very practical person.
He didn't care about his reputation at all. In any case, other people had money to earn, and he had to have some private money to earn. That was why there was today's incident!
The palace treasury was the Chu Emperor's private stash.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
She looked at Ning Mo.
The Chu Emperor coughed a few times.
"I'll leave the business to you!”
"I won't treat you unfairly. I said that I wanted to take you in as a disciple. Big partner, bring some tea! Today, I will take you in as my disciple and teach you all the skills to lead troops to war. Don't let me down!”
After hearing the Chu Emperor's words,
Ning Mo also paid his respects to his master with a serious expression.
The identity of the Chu Emperor's disciple was still very useful. It was even more useful than the death-exemption medallion that the Chu Emperor had bestowed upon him.
He had already acknowledged the old master as his master.
Ning Mo didn't mind having another Chu Emperor as his teacher.
It was good to learn military skills or political wisdom.
It was fine as long as he could learn something!
At night.
Ning Mo rode on the White Dragon Warhorse.
He left the Imperial City with ten personal guards, heading towards his own Marquis of Wuan fu!
"I didn't expect to become the emperor's disciple just like that!”
Ning Mo, who was on horseback, said,
He muttered in his heart,"
"But this is good. In this way, my status will be even higher, and it will be more convenient for me to do things in the future! There's also the problem of business…I've finally started to develop my business blueprint!”
Compared to his status as the disciple of the Chu Emperor,
Ning Mo was more interested in business.
Even though he was considered to have everything he needed now, money was something that he really hated when he used it!
Money was not everything.
But not having money was a must!
Returning to the Marquisdom.
After reading a book in the study for a while and modifying his business blueprint plan, he went to rest under the green sparrow's service.
It didn't take long.
The news that Ning Mo had been accepted by the Chu Emperor as a disciple to inherit his military abilities spread throughout the West Chu Imperial Capital.
For a moment,
Many people were rather emotional.
Marquis Wu An was showing great kindness and was in the Emperor's heart!
Of course.
There were also people who felt that Ning Morong was overly pampered and if there was any problem, it could cause him to be consigned to eternal damnation!
As for when he would be doomed,
He did not know.
……
Two days later, on the first day of the winter moon.
On this day…
Early in the morning, Ning Mo wore a marquis robe and rode his White Dragon Warhorse to the Imperial City for the court meeting.
The West Chu court meeting was not held every day. There would only be one morning court meeting on the first, ninth, fifteenth, and twenty-fourth of every month. At other times, the civil and military officials would just sit at their posts.
For a general like Ning Mo, he only had to attend the first day of the court every month. The other three times, he could avoid it if he was busy with military affairs!
Below Zhengyang Palace.
All the civil officials,
They were already lined up neatly, holding wooden boards in their hands, shivering in the cold wind, waiting for the Zhengyang Palace Gate to open. As for the military officials, they were relatively loose, standing in twos and threes!
"Teacher!"
Ning Mo came to the old man's side and bowed.
He nodded casually.
The old man smiled and said,
"Why did His Majesty suddenly accept you as a disciple?”
Ning Mo's mouth twitched when he heard the old man's question. He really didn't know how to answer him. He couldn't possibly say that the Chu Emperor accepted him as a disciple for the sake of money, right?
Did the emperor not care about his face?
Seeing Ning Mo's troubled expression, she said,
The old man stroked his long beard.
"There's no need to answer. I understand!"
Hearing this.
Ning Mo was stunned.
Then, he smiled and said,
"It's fine as long as Old Master understands. In short, this is the situation!”
After a brief exchange between the master and disciple.
Clang!
The main door of Zhengyang Palace opened, and a eunuch from the Yellow Clan came out.
He said in a clear voice,
"When His Majesty is in court, all the civil and military officials should tidy up their appearance and enter the hall for an audience!”
Whoosh--
In an instant,
Be it civil officials or military officials, they all lined up and tidied up their clothes before lining up to enter the throne room.
