Chapter 715 Too Many

August twenty-three.

Ren Ning's family was enjoying family happiness in the back garden of the palace, and laughter could be heard from time to time.

Ta-ta-ta-ta.

At some point, Ji Xiang ran over with a beaming face.

"Your Highness, Princess, good news. Alan and Youmeng have just entered Star City with their camel caravan."

"Really?" Yingpan couldn't help but be happy.

"Of course it's true," Ji Xiang nodded repeatedly, "I saw it in person, and even said hello to Brother Alen before returning to the palace."

"Great." Yingpan was so happy that she was confused.

However, she looked up at the sky and quickly frowned.

"Oh, is it already this time?"

"Jixiang, go and tell the chef to prepare our favorite meat dishes. The more the better."

My mother-in-law's family has come all the way here, and no amount of hospitality is too much.

Ji Xiang responded with a chuckle, then raised his head and glanced at the sky.

I'm afraid it's too late to ask the chef to prepare a big meal now, right?

Ren Ning's face looked a little strange, and he shook his head speechlessly.

"You guys, you are so happy to finally see your parents, right?"

The caravan led by Allen and Youmeng was a large one.

The team is long, there are many people, and the affairs are complicated.

Although not everything requires them to take action, the caravan has now reached its destination, and it will take some time to arrange and organize it.

Therefore, it would be good if Allen and the others could find time to come to Prince Ning's Mansion before tomorrow night.

"That's right." Yingpan suddenly realized.

Seeing that there was no one around, she gave her husband a hard look.

"Did I say that the ingredients I prepared are for today? Tomorrow night's food won't work."

"Okay, you have the final say." Ren Ning didn't expose it and just laughed.

Don't mention it tonight, if Yingpan is willing, it's no problem to prepare meals for a whole month.

After all, caravan trading takes time, and it also takes a long time to collect the goods for the return trip and the food and grass for people and horses to chew.

The most important thing is that the Kailun tribe has now become a part of Yunchui. In addition to normal business, this is the first time for Allen and the others to witness Ren Ning's enthronement ceremony as courtiers.

Therefore, they will not leave until the Double Ninth Festival at the earliest, which is the 9th of next month.

Yingpan's pretty face turned red, her neck was stiff and she shouted, "Did I say this was prepared for Allen and the others?"

"Calculating the time, Sister Hezhu will be arriving in Xingji City in the next few days. I have to prepare more food..."

"Yes, yes, the princess said so."

The couple chatted for a few more words before stopping.

The next day, noon.

In the living room, the six ministers and the grand master were still discussing matters.

However, Yingpan in the back house could no longer sit still.

She first went to the back kitchen, carefully inspected the prepared food, then picked up her son and carried her to the front yard, where she sat quietly in the main hall and waited.

Once the sun turns to the west, good luck will come jumping in.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, Brother Allen and the others have arrived outside the main entrance."

Call ~

Yingpan finally waited for this moment, and she let out a long breath.

"Invite them in quickly."

It happened that at this time Ren Ning also entered the main hall with a smile.

"Oh, what a coincidence!" He laughed while teasing his son: "As soon as I finished my work, Allen and the others arrived."

Yingpan subconsciously looked towards the window, "There are a lot of things going on today. Are you gentlemen finally leaving?"

In the usual morning court, Ren Ning would cut through the mess with a sharp knife, and get it done three times, five times, and two times.

There are some exceptions today.

Ren Ning smiled and didn't hide it from her.

"Hebai and the others are escorting Naoto Kudo and Masato Nei to wait for the Japanese pirates to return to the capital. They have now returned to Jiuyuan County."

"Huayang County is a little anxious. They intend to attack with the entire army, seize Ishikawa Taki as soon as possible to end the battle, and strive to return to Star City with Hebai and the others."

One of Yingpan's eyes was still staring in the direction of the door, but the other eye could not help but frown. "This...isn't appropriate."

As the saying goes, a broken ship still has three pounds of nails, and a rabbit will bite people when it is anxious.

Now Ishikawa Taki is surrounded tightly and has no way to escape.

But if all parties in Yun Chui push too hard, once they jump over the wall and fight to the death, the casualties may be a bit high.

"You're right." Ren Ning nodded in agreement.

However, he understood what Lu Fuhai and the others meant.

The East China Sea Barrier, the Central Army, and the Northern Expeditionary Army wanted to regain the entire country before Ren Ning ascended the throne on Chongyang, so as to add to their happiness.

But compared to these vain congratulations, Ren Ning valued the lives of Yun Chui's soldiers more.

The parties currently participating in the war in Huayang County are all veterans who have experienced many wars, and all of them have blood and heads in their hands.

Their combat effectiveness is simply not comparable to that of recruits who have just joined the army. There will be many places where their efforts will be needed in the future.

Although Ishikawa Taki and others have become trapped beasts, they still have tens of thousands of people under their command.

Despite this, as long as Yun Chui's ministries compressed their attacks step by step, he would eventually have no choice but to be captured or die on the battlefield.

There is no need to waste too many lives and blood of General Yunchui.

Therefore, Ren Ning had a detailed discussion with the various ministries, and except for the objections of Guanyi, the Ministry of War, everyone else agreed.

Yingpan was speechless, "What does Guan Shangshu mean?"

In theory, all soldiers and generals in the entire empire are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War.

How can you force your subordinates to die?

Ren Ning smiled, "Isn't it because I want to grant amnesty to the world when I ascend the throne?"

Today, the Ministry of War has obtained a large amount of evidence regarding the corruption or incompetence of the Beihaiguan garrison and the top brass of the Central Corps.

For these resident insects, Guanyi couldn't wait to kill them quickly.

"That's it." Ying Pan understood, "Then just delete these people from the amnesty list."

Huh~

"It's not that simple," Ren Ning smiled, "Guanyi is afraid of long nights and many dreams."

The former Beihai Customs is still easy to deal with.

When Huang Shitao and others attacked the city, most of them had been killed.

Those who are lucky enough to survive usually cannot survive the harsh winter in Tamaki County.

However, this is not the case for the Central Army Corps.

After the defeat at Dinghai Wharf, most of their generals fled the front line and are still alive today.

Unfortunately, almost all of these people have a large or small backstage in Star City.

If their family intends to preserve their family, as long as it takes time, Ren Ning or the Ministry of War can always think of some ways to reduce the crimes of these people or even exempt them from prison sentences in unexpected places.

After all, there are a lot of people committing crimes in the Central Corps, and the Ministry of War and the Jinlin Guards may not be able to monitor them.

This is what Guanyi is afraid of. He simply wants to sentence them early and not give those families a chance.

hum.

Yingpan said disdainfully, "They dare? They really aren't afraid of death."

"Of course they are afraid of death," Ren Ning raised his eyebrows, "It's just that their long career as a wealthy family has made them forget that the empire still has strict laws."

What's more important is that these people are lucky in their hearts and always feel that others can't find out what they do in private.

"Like Prince Liang back then?" Yingpan said.

"Yes." Ren Ning nodded, murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

When it was discovered that Chen Xiuzhu was treasonous, Princess Yiguang took Yingpan and Fan Ting to the clan mansion and asked Zong Ling and the elders of the Chen clan to use family methods to clean up the family.

The first person whose name was called was the Liang Wang family.

In order to protect his beloved grandson, the old prince Liang found a domestic slave to use Li Daitao's plan, and then swore that Prince Liang's house had been cleaned up.

As a result, the carriage of Prince Liang's grandson slipped out of Xingji City for less than a hundred miles, and happened to encounter the expressionless commander of the Jinlin Guards.

Today's Chen family tree has completely disappeared from the Liang Wang family.

This is one of the reasons why the major princes and princesses are so obedient today.

Yingpan thought thoughtfully, "Your Highness rejected Guan Shangshu's proposal. Did you want to give those people a chance to do something?"

"That's right." Ren Ning nodded lightly.

After all, there are too many wealthy families in Xingji City.

Ren Ning doesn't mind cutting back a bit.
