Ning Caichen was enthroned as the commander, Li Quan was robbed and killed, Ji Xuan was responsible for investigating the incident, as well as the death of Li Yan and Jiang Mingyuan, and the news began to be known by those who were interested in the morning court, causing great trouble, especially some people who were hostile to the Ning family or were destined to stand opposite the Ning family...

The royal palace, the imperial garden, Zhu Ji leisurely sips famous tea, drink it with a small sip, close his eyes, revealing his enjoyment.

"Your Majesty seems to be very happy today. I haven't seen you in such a good mood for a long time. I heard that the front line won a big victory."

Next to Zhu Ji, a woman sat. Seeing Zhu Ji's appearance, she said, "This is Concubine De, one of Zhu Ji's most favored concubines, and the biological mother of Zhu Hongyi, the eldest prince of Liang Kingdom. This is a very beautiful woman. She is in her thirties and looks like a 26 or 27-year-old woman. She is wearing a purple blouse and a phoenix hairpin. She is very beautiful. She has willow-leaf eyebrows, white skin, and beautiful red lips. Her pair of phoenix eyes have a charm that cannot be dissolved. The purple blouse wraps her plump and tall figure, and her chest is tall, as if she wants to tear the clothes. The loose collar is stretched open, and a large snow-white and deep ravines can be seen inside...

"Yes, after winning the battle, a great victory, and defeating the 20,000 Yellow Turban Army with 5,000 troops, Ning Caichen is really my good general."

Zhu Ji was in a good mood and had a sense of pleasure. This great victory was like a stimulant, especially Ning Caichen, which made him 120 more satisfied. Without defeating the Yellow Turban Army, the eight generals of the Yellow Turban Army were also directly solved by Ning Caichen in this battle, killing tens of thousands of enemies. Such a battle is brilliant...

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, God really blesses me with this good general..."

Concubine De smiled.

"Haha..." Zhu Ji was also very happy and directly reached out to hold Concubine De in his arms. He did not notice Concubine De's changing face in his arms.

................

"What is Li Quan doing for? The 10,000 Yellow Turban Army can't even take down a Ning family... "

In Lanlin Palace, the eldest prince Zhu Hongyi smashed the tea on the ground with some anger, and it broke into pieces, which scared the eunuch next to him to his heart. He looked very ordinary, plain and fair-skinned. If you look closely, you will find that he is somewhat similar to Zhu Ji. His eyes are very bright. He is Zhu Hongyi, the eldest prince of Liang Kingdom, and the son of Concubine De. However, Zhu Hongyi was obviously in a bad mood at this time.

"Your Highness, the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to get angry. We should think about what to do below. According to today's situation, the king asked Ji Xuan to thoroughly investigate General Li, Li Yan and Jiang Mingyuan's affairs, and also appointed Ning Caichen as the lieutenant. Obviously, the king had the intention to cultivate this Ning Caichen. After this time, the Ning family may rise. At that time, the Ning family may become a stumbling block on His Highness's way forward."

The eunuch stood up and lowered his body beside Zhu Hongyi and reminded him.

"Ning family, Ning Caichen, I really underestimated this Ning family."

Zhu Hongyi's anger slowly calmed down, and his face became a little gloomy. This time, Qiu Minghai agreed to support him in the battle for the throne, and as a condition, it was to eradicate the Ning family. He agreed without hesitation. Qiu Minghai was appointed as the Young Mansion and one of the nine ministers, and brought Qiu Minghai to his own camp, and even used this to pull the Mu Ren Mansion and his group to his side. Now the position of the Eastern Palace has not been established. At that time, with the support of Qiu Minghai and others in the battle for the throne, his advantages will be infinitely expanded.

Therefore, in Zhu Hongyi's view, it is totally worth it to win over Qiu Minghai and eradicate the Ning family. For this reason, he sent Li Quan and his capable generals, but he did not expect such a big mess to appear. Not only did he not eradicate the Ning family, but Li Quan was still dead. Thinking of this, Zhu Hongyi was so angry that he would definitely lose a lot of rice. He hated the Ning family to the extreme, but then he sighed again. Now that the rise of the Ning family has been achieved, Ning Caichen has been valued by Zhu Ji, and it is already very difficult to deal with the Ning family again.

"hateful!"

With his fists tightly clenched, Zhu Hongyi looked unwilling. This time, not only did he not eliminate the Ning family, but he also lost the general Li Quan, which made him angry.

The eunuch next to Zhu Hongyi moved his eyes, and his eyes turned, and suddenly he smiled—

"Your Highness doesn't have to be so angry. Although General Li's death is regrettable this time, it may be an opportunity for Your Highness."

The eunuch showed a strange smile on his face—

"Although General Li's death was unexpected, the Ning family escaped, but according to small knowledge, it seems that the entire Red Elf Army was also very unkind to the Ning family because of General Li Quan's death. For a long time, only General Li Quan stood on His Highness's side. Perhaps this time, Your Highness can take this opportunity to win over the entire Red Elf Army and deal with the Ning family, killing two birds with one stone..."

A smile flashed in the eunuch's eyes. He looked at Zhu Hongyi, who thought for a moment, and then his eyes slowly lit up.

Although Li Quan has always been firmly on his side, it does not mean that the entire Red-Eleven Army is like this. Pang Ruo and Li Meng's attitude has been sharpened. However, this time Li Quan died. With the help of dealing with Ning Caichen, the entire Red-Eleven Army may be brought to his tent......

"But your Highness should be careful. The second highness may already know the relationship between Lord Qiu and Your Highness. The second highness may use this to win over the Ning family and Ji Wenyou."

The eunuch reminded him that Zhu Hongyi's eyes were also condensed, Zhu Ji's sons and one daughter, as Princess Yongle's daughter, the one who competed the most in the Eastern Palace was his second brother Zhu Hongji. Moreover, Zhu Hongji had never been very quiet and was interested in being in the Eastern Palace. The struggle between the two has never stopped. This time, he could not guarantee that Zhu Hongji would not stop him, so he used this to win over the Ning family and Ji Wenyou.

Thinking of this, Zhu Hongyi's eyes were condensed.

"The Empress De Concubine is here!"

At this moment, the eunuch's sharp voice sounded outside, and then Concubine De, dressed in purple and silk, walked in.

................

"Haha, my elder brother, this time I can't steal a chicken and lose some rice."

In Changxin Palace, Zhu Hongji, wearing a purple robe, listened to the news about the morning court coming from below, and a smile appeared on his face and the corners of his mouth slightly raised. Unlike Zhu Hongyi's ordinary appearance, Zhu Hongji was very handsome, with sword-browed eyebrows and starry eyes. Next to him was a middle-aged man dressed in a green literati, holding a folding fan.

"I wonder what Mr. Li thinks of Ning Caichen."

After gloating about Zhu Hongyi, Zhu Hongji looked at the middle-aged scholar next to him.

"Li Quan personally led 10,000 Red-winged Army but could not take down the Ning family. It can be seen that the strength of the Ning family is not small. Moreover, the front-line victory was great. Ning Caichen defeated the Yellow Turban Army and defeated the more with few, and the results were brilliant. Such a person was definitely a rare talent. His Highness was at the time of employment. If such a talent could be used by His Highness, it would be like a tiger..." said the middle-aged literary scholar.

"And now Qiu Minghai has fallen to the side of His Highness. It is very likely that after this time, the Red-Eleven Army will also lean towards the side of His Highness. This is very unfavorable to His Highness. Ning Caichen must be attracted, and Ji Wenyou and Ning Caichen have a close relationship..."

"Mr. Li said it right. My elder brother is getting more and more restless. It seems that Ning Caichen has the opportunity to get in touch with him."

Zhu Hongji's eyes were slightly calm, and he felt the intention of winning over Ning Caichen, while the middle-aged scholar next to him was quiet but silent.

"Father."

In Ganning Palace, Queen Xiao sat upright on the chair and saw Xiao Teng in front of her.

"Go to the Queen." Xiao Teng bowed his hand and bowed to Queen Xiao.

"Let's go back." Looking at the maids and eunuchs beside him, Queen Xiao frowned and waved her hand and said, "Looking outside the door, no one is allowed to come in without my order."

"yes."

In the end, a few eunuchs and maids left, leaving only Xiao Teng and Queen Xiao.

"Daughter has met his father." When the maid and the eunuch left, Queen Xiao stood up and bowed to Xiao Teng. In front of others, Xiao Mei was the queen of Daliang and Xiao Teng was the grand lieutenant of Daliang. Xiao Teng wanted to bow to Xiao Mei, but in private, Xiao Teng was Xiao Mei's father.

"Yeah." Xiao Teng nodded, with a smile on his face. He had no son and only this daughter, but he was the one who made him most satisfied. He married into the royal court, became the queen, and was in power.

"That girl Qingya is okay."

Xiao Teng said, Qingya refers to Zhu Qingya, which is Princess Yongle.

"I went out once this time, and that girl became much quieter." Xiao Mei said: "Is there anything wrong with my father coming?"

"This Liang Kingdom is going to be in chaos, and our Xiao family should make plans."

Xiao Teng said something for no reason, which made Xiao Mei stunned, and then his face changed slightly and looked at Xiao Teng.

"It's a pity that Qingya is a daughter. Now the eldest prince and the second prince are both adults. The position of the Eastern Palace is about to be established. Our Xiao family..."

Xiao Teng said, and his turbid gaze suddenly became brighter, and Xiao Mei's face also changed. He already knew what Xiao Teng said next.

"Chen Yan is old, many people are restless, and the Liang Kingdom is in chaos. Our Xiao family should consider it..."

"Father, are you worried too much? The king is still alive now?" Xiao Mei spoke, her face slightly changed.

Hearing Xiao Mei's words, Xiao Teng shook his head-

"In this world, strength is the most respected. Unfortunately, our Xiao family is still too weak. This time, if we want to protect our Xiao family..."

“…”

More than ten minutes later, Xiao Teng left, and the remaining Xiao Mei fell into deep thought. She knew that this might be the biggest crisis of their Xiao family was coming. Although she was the queen, the king Zhu Ji was not the one who loved her the most. In fact, most of the time, she and Zhu Ji were respectful to each other. They had been alone in the empty room at night and had no children. There was only Yongle, a daughter, the queen, and had no children. This was the most deadly, especially in the palace. Although Xiao Teng was the Grand Marshal, he did not have much military power. He only controlled a few imperial guards in the palace. Most of the army of Liang State was controlled by General Chen Yan...

Now that Zhu Hongyi and Zhu Hongji have grown up one after another, they are becoming more and more restless. Fighting for the throne is often accompanied by bloodshed and a great purge. Even if you want to stay out of the matter, it is impossible. The most important thing is that the relationship between Concubine De and Concubine Shu and Concubine was not very good in the fight between the queen back then. Whether it was Zhu Hongyi or Zhu Hongji's succession, there might be a big disaster for her and the Xiao family.

On the other side, Ji's mansion, Ji Xuan handed a letter to a servant in the mansion—

"Send to Ningjia, Chen County."

"yes!"
