chapter xxviii
General.
This was especially true for generals who held real power. What they needed to avoid the most was having too much contact with the princes.
Ever since he came to the Imperial City, Ning Mo knew very well that he had to deal with the princes of the Chu Emperor. However, from the beginning to the end, he had never thought of getting involved in any of these matters.
That was…
Fight for the throne.
Although the Chu Emperor was still very strong, he was already in his seventies. Ning Mo would never believe that his princes did not have any thoughts of fighting for the throne!
It was one thing to have contact.
However…
Ning Mo didn't want the people working under him to bypass him and get in touch with those princes. If that happened, he might be caught in a whirlpool that he couldn't escape from!
Shen Zhong, Chen Zhiping, Dongfang Yun.
These three people…
Recently, many of Ning Mo's businesses had been handed over to them to contact the butler Li Yuan and protect them. Even the business with the royal palace treasury was partially handled by Shen Zhong and the other two.
If Shen Zhong and Prince were to get together, Ning Mo would be very unhappy.
He was very unhappy.
He frowned.
Ning Mo, who was sitting in the main seat, looked at Shen Zhong with a scrutinizing gaze. Shen Zhong, who was originally sitting, stood up with a tingle in his scalp. He was terrified as if he had fallen into an ice cellar!
Ning Mo was getting stronger and stronger.
In addition,
He led his troops to fight unhindered. Now, he was in charge of nearly 30,000 Great Chu's Black Cavalry and the commander of the four armies. His body naturally developed the aura of a superior. Once he was angry, it was as terrifying as the collapse of the sky and the earth!
"Lord…Lord Marquis!"
She gritted her teeth.
Shen Zhong stood up with a pale face.
"I'm not in contact with the sixth prince. This invitation was given to me by my elder brother to pass to Lord Marquis!”
He frowned.
Ning Mo sat on the chair and his aura gradually converged. He pressed his hand down to let Shen Zhong sit down again.
After pondering for a moment,
Ning Mo said,"
"Old Shen, don't blame me for being angry! You should know that we are doing business with many nobles, nobles, and even the royal family's palace treasury. Moreover, it is a very large business and we have a large amount of money in our hands!”
"Who knows how many people are staring at us and treating us as a good money bag…Tell me, what kind of thing in the Imperial City needs to target a family like us as a money bag?”
Shen Zhong was not stupid.
Combining Ning Mo's anger with the words of the money bag,
He immediately reacted.
"Lord Marquis means…to seize…sorry, Lord Marquis! Shen Zhong misspoke!"
He glanced at Shen Zhong.
Ning Mo said casually,"
"It's good that you understand!"
He took a sip of tea.
Ning Mo sighed."
"There are some things that we can't participate in!”
She stood in front of Ning Mo.
After wiping the sweat off his head, he said,
Shen Zhong also had a serious expression.
"Lord Marquis, don't worry. I know what to do!”
He nodded.
Ning Mo pondered for a moment.
He looked at Shen Zhong.
"Old Shen, if I give you a chance, would you be willing to become my personal guard?”
Shen Zhong came from a Wu Xun family, so he naturally had martial arts. Although it was not very powerful, it was still something.
Before this,
Ning Mo hadn't thought of using his personal guard position on the people who followed him!
Now that he was worried about the issue of loyalty, he thought of using the personal guard's quota to make Shen Zhong and the other concubines who followed him to become his loyal subordinates!
"I'm willing!"
Although she didn't know why Ning Mo asked this question,
However, Shen Zhong still subconsciously replied,
"To be able to become Lord Marquis 'personal guard is my, Chen Zhong's, honor!”
He nodded.
Ning Mo looked at Shen Zhong."
"System, can I use one of my personal guard spots on Shen Zhong?”
Ding! The personal guard quota had been successfully used!
As the system's voice fell, Ning Mo's remaining 80 personal guard spots were instantly reduced by one. At the same time, Shen Zhong, who was standing in front of him, also emitted a powerful aura that was like a crouching tiger and a shallow flood dragon.
With the strength of one against a hundred elites, it was directly given to Shen Zhong.
When he opened his eyes again,
Shen Zhong's eyes flashed as he bowed respectfully to Ning Mo."
"Lord Marquis!"
He patted Shen Zhong's shoulder,
Ning Mo said,"
"Do your job well! If there is a war in the future, I will bring you along. If you want to make a name for yourself, it will not be a big problem!”
A surprised expression appeared on her face.
Shen Zhong had a loyal expression.
"Many thanks, Lord Marquis!"
Using the personal guard quota only allowed Shen Zhong to subtly obtain that powerful martial strength and his loyalty. It did not allow Shen Zhong to change his personality and memories.
The quota for the personal guards.
It was really convenient--
In the future, if someone were to work under him and held an important position, Ning Mo could completely obtain their loyalty by giving them a personal guard position.
There was no need to worry about betrayal!
"Lord Marquis!"
After obtaining the position of personal guard,
Shen Zhong had a serious expression.
"Heart Warming Lake, do you still want to go?"
Glancing at the golden invitation in his hand, he casually threw it into the furnace.
Ning Mo said,"
"His invitation is probably from his own faction…To me, it's just a banquet, so I naturally won't go!”
Go,
There would be some trouble.
If you don't go,
The Sixth Prince, whom he had never met, could not do anything to him.
Thus, Ning Mo said,
Naturally, he would not go!
Of course.
He would not ignore the surface engineering.
"Send me a message. Tell me that I'm busy with military matters and can't attend the banquet.”
Shen Zhong replied,
"Here!"
Very quickly.
Shen Zhong left Ning Mo's manor.
He watched Shen Zhong leave.
Ning Mo casually sat beside the stove.
With a thoughtful look on his face, he said,
"The business is getting bigger and bigger. I'm afraid that in the future, other princes will contact me.”
wealth and silk move the hearts of the people.
There was nothing wrong with this sentence!
However,
Ning Mo wasn't worried at all. His businesses were all in cooperation with the nobles and nobles, as well as the royal family's palace treasury. A prince who didn't have much power didn't have the qualifications to interfere!
As for doing so…
Would it make a certain prince who ascended the throne in the future feel dissatisfied with him?
To tell the truth--
Ning Mo wasn't worried!
That might take several years. After a few years, he might not have to worry about the Emperor's power at all.
"I heard that the sixth prince has gathered many descendants of noble families around him!”
Ning Mo recalled the information about the Sixth Prince in his mind.
"As a prince, he actually roped in so many descendants of noble families and tried to get his hands on military power…He can be considered to have died a righteous death. If the Chu Emperor was on the verge of death and the successor chosen wasn't the Sixth Prince, the first ones to be killed would be him and his henchmen!”
This kind of person…
Ning Mo had the attitude of leaving as far as he could!
In case he was implicated!
Furthermore, Ning Mo didn't think that the Sixth Prince would be able to take the throne!
……
Heart Warming Lake.
On a medium-sized royal dragon boat.
The thirty-year-old Sixth Prince, Xiang Zhu, could not help but squint his eyes when he received Ning Mo's reply from Shen Zhong.
He smiled and said,"
"Did you reject it? That's right! Now that Marquis Wu An was deeply loved and trusted by Imperial Father, and held great power, he naturally could not easily interact with the princes!”
Ning Mo's rejection of the invitation was expected and reasonable.
A general with military power needed to stay away from princes the most.
Of course.
Xiang Zhu did not give up.
There were still many opportunities!
He was confident that he would be able to pull Ning Mo to his side in the future. After all, he was the prince who had the most support from the descendants of the Martial Meritocrats. He was born with the support of many Martial Meritocrats!
He glanced at the warm lake. The mist was rising, and the scenery was like a fairyland.
Xiang Zhu sighed in his heart.
"Imperial Father's body is too strong! He really didn't know how long he would be in power…The others probably couldn't sit still anymore!”
The Chu Emperor had been in power for far too long.
Xiang Zhu was considered the youngest among his princes.
One had to know,
The Chu Emperor's eldest son, the Crown Prince of the West Chu, was already in his fifties. His son was almost the same age as Xiang Zhu, and even the Crown Prince's grandson could run and jump.
The emperor lived so long,
How many Crown Princes and Princes in the world could withstand this?
How can there be a fifty-year-old prince in the world?
A rebellion.
It was almost inevitable.
