The King of Huainan heard that Qi Ning was so happy and said with a smile: "The King of Jinyi Hou is indeed selfless and sent someone to assist in the training of troops. This is beneficial to the Black Scale Camp without any harm. Wu Dalin has been in the army for many years and has been practicing for a long time. He has also led troops in the Royal Yulin Camp for many years. Yulin Camp is the most elite soldier in our Great Chu. Wu Dalin brought the experience of training Yulin Camp to the Black Scale Camp. The Black Scale Camp will surely become an invincible elite army."
Qi Ning bowed to the King of Huainan and smiled and said, "It is really touching that the prince considers the Black Scale Camp so much. There is a long way to go to rebuild the Black Scale Camp. In fact, I have always hoped that more experienced generals would help rebuild it. However, the Royal Yulin Camp garrisoned the Imperial City. I couldn't ask the emperor for the people from the Yulin Camp. Today, the prince asked the emperor for Deputy Commander Wu from the emperor, and I was very happy."
The King of Huainan and Sima Lan both felt that Qi Ning could not allow other forces to penetrate into the Black Scale Camp. At first, he felt that he was just dealing with it, but seeing that he smiled calmly, his tone seemed to be really grateful. He couldn't figure out Qi Ning's intentions for a while, thinking about whether Qi Ning didn't know whether it was because Qi Ning was not aware of the power or the young man was so calm.
"Old Duke, what do you think?" Longtai glanced at Sima Lan.
Sima Lan pondered slightly, glanced at the King of Huainan, and then smiled and said, "Since the prince thinks Wu Dalin is very suitable, the old minister has no objection."
Longtai thought about it and said, "Since that's the case, I will issue an order to let Wu Dalin transfer to the Black Scale Camp."
"Emperor, Deputy Commander Wu is transferred to the Black Scale Camp, I have no objection." Qi Ning suddenly said: "It's just that someone in the Black Scale Camp has committed a serious case this time. As the commander of the Black Scale Camp, I should investigate it to the end and figure out the whole story of the matter. I will never tolerate the punishment of what should be punished and kill what should be killed. I will give an explanation to the court and the people."
The King of Huainan smiled and said, "Waiting Jinyi, the Kyoto Prefecture is already investigating this case. Tie Zheng has always been fair and selfless in handling the case. You have just returned to Beijing and are tired all the way. It would be better to take a few more days off. Just leave this matter to Kyoto Prefecture."
Qi Ning shook his head and said, "With the favor of the emperor, I will rebuild the Black Scale Camp. If I cannot personally investigate and give the emperor an explanation, how can I satisfy the emperor's expectations?"
Longtai said: "You are the commander of the Black Scale Camp. Your subordinates violate the military rules. Naturally, I will give you an explanation. Qi Ning, I will give you two days. If you cannot handle this matter properly and still make the people discuss it, I will ask you."
"I obey the order!"
Sima Lan said at this time: "Prince, wait for Jinyi. The Duke's Mansion will hold a banquet tonight to invite the envoys from Dongqi. I wonder if the two of them can enjoy the glory and go to accompany you?"
The King of Huainan smiled and said, "I have always thought of having a few drinks with the Duke. Since the Duke invited him, he was disrespectful and would definitely attend the banquet tonight."
Sima Lan looked at Qi Ning, Qi Ning thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "Since we are here to go to the banquet!"
Sima Lan laughed and said, "Since that's the case, I will go back first to prepare." Xiang Longtai said, "Your Majesty, the old minister will take his leave first!"
After Sima Lan retreated, Longtai said to the King of Huainan: "Uncle Wang, the prince!"
"I met Shaozong when I entered the palace." The King of Huainan was already a little sad, and he smiled reluctantly: "Life and death are destined to be rich and noble in heaven. Some things cannot be forced. I just hope that God will bless him so that he can suffer less in his lifetime."
"I will send someone to continue looking for famous doctors to see him." Longtai said: "Uncle Wang doesn't have to worry too much, I will find a treatment method soon."
The King of Huainan bowed and said, "Thank you for your favor. Your Majesty, I will go back to the mansion to see the situation of Shaozong first and take the leave first."
After the King of Huainan retreated, Longtai frowned and asked Qi Ning: "What's going on over the Black Scale Camp?"
Qi Ning stepped forward and asked, "Did the emperor receive no news in advance?"
"I only heard that there was a problem in the Black Scale Camp. What's the matter? I can wait for you to come to the palace to ask about it." Longtai said: "Before I had time to talk about it, they came over."
Qi Ning didn't hide it and said that night. Longtai frowned and said, "Are you saying that three new recruits from the Black Scale Camp can kill three guards?"
"Your Majesty, there are many doubts in this case, and there are several places that cannot be explained, so I must find out the whole story." Qi Ning said: "I'm afraid someone is going to make a big fuss with this."
"The article has been done." Longtai said: "They said that the streets and alleys of the capital are talking about this case. This is the article. People know that the people in the Black Scale Camp kill innocent people indiscriminately, just like strong enemies. They will definitely feel resentful towards the Black Scale Camp and even your Qi family. Didn't both of them come here just now and want to find the Black Scale Camp." He said in confusion: "Why did you agree to let Wu Dalin transfer to the Black Scale Camp?"
"Your Majesty, you have seen the situation today." Qi Ning sneered: "They entered the palace at the same time, and they wanted to use this case to attack the Black Scale Camp. Moreover, the two of them were in the same tone and they wanted to mix sand in the Black Scale Camp. If we refuse, these two people would not give up and would definitely come up with other ways to deal with the Black Scale Camp."
Longtai nodded slightly and said, "I naturally understand that they can't tolerate the Black Scale Camp. However, I didn't expect that the King of Huainan recommended Wu Dalin to the Black Scale Camp."
"Your Majesty, I heard that Wu Dalin was sponsored by Sima Lan to enter the Yulin Camp?"
Longtai nodded and said, "When the late emperor was alive, he still valued Sima Lan very much." He lowered his voice: "Chi Fengdian served as the commander of the Yulin Camp, and his father issued an order to promote it. This person was loyal to the late emperor, and his martial arts were very skilled, and he was also deeply trusted by his father. However, Chi Fengdian served as a general under the command of Jin Daohou in his early years, and Jin Daohou!" After a pause, he even whispered: "Jin Daohou once submitted a secret letter, mentioning the promise of Emperor Taizong to become a crown prince. Not many people know about this matter, Sima Lan is one of them."
Qi Ning knew that before Emperor Taizu of Chu was dying, the world was still in turmoil. At that time, King Huainan was still young and naturally could not lead the soldiers of Chu to conquer the world. Therefore, Emperor Taizu passed the throne to his brothers, namely Emperor Taizong. Emperor Taizong also promised Emperor Taizu that King Huainan would be the crown prince in the future.
But Emperor Taizong later passed the throne to his son, breaking his original promise. As Emperor Taizu's confidant general, it was reasonable to have a secret letter on Jin Daohou.
"Sima Lan reminded his father at that time that Jin Daohou was probably dissatisfied with his father's inheritance of the throne and always supported the King of Huainan." Longtai whispered: "Although Chi Fengdian was loyal, he was once a general of Jin Daohou, so he could not help but suggest that his father change the commander of the Yulin Camp. The father did not doubt his employing people, but he did not care about this. Sima Lan persuaded that even if he did not change the commander, he could also transfer the generals to follow Chi Fengdian to supervise Chi Fengdian's words and deeds, and prevent problems before it happened."
Qi Ning immediately understood and whispered: "In other words, Sima Lan recommended Wu Dalin to enter the Yulin Camp to monitor Chi Fengdian?"
Longtai nodded and said, "It's true. However, over the years, Chi Fengdian has been dedicated and loyal, and Wu Dalin has not been able to find Chi Fengdian's ill-telling behavior at all."
"So that's it." Qi Ning felt something: "Your Majesty, why did the King of Huainan recommend Wu Dalin to Heilin Camp this time?"
"I'm also wondering." Longtai said: "Since you have this opportunity, why doesn't the King of Huainan recommend his own people? As far as I know, there are also a few King of Huainan in Xuanwu Camp."
"Is it because the King of Huainan deliberately asked Sima Lan's people to transfer to the Black Scale Camp to make the Black Scale Camp hostile to Sima Lan?" Qi Ning said: "No matter who has gone to the Black Scale Camp, the soldiers of the Black Scale Camp will never feel comfortable."
Longtai pondered for a moment and finally asked: "Do you think someone was deliberately making trouble behind the scenes in the Black Scale Camp?"
Qi Ning nodded and said, "There are many doubts and it's very strange. If no one is planning behind the scenes, it's really a ghost."
"Then do you guess who is going to make trouble behind the scenes?"
"There is no evidence, and it is not certain who it is right now." Qi Ning frowned and said, "I thought it should be Sima Lan at first, but now I can't be sure. The King of Huainan is also suspicious."
Longtai sneered and lowered his voice, "Do you understand my concern now? If the two of them easily fight each other in the court, how can I let the soldiers on the front line fight with peace of mind? If they are not at peace, they should not easily lead the Northern Expedition."
Longtai said it very tactfully, but Qi Ning knew very well that King Huainan and Sima Lan would never be at peace. The two of them fought endlessly, and they would never stop without turning back. There was no choice but to make the two of them peaceful, and that was to let them disappear.
However, Longtai obviously does not have such strength yet.
"Although we cannot fight north at the moment, one day we will lead our troops north." Longtai walked back to the imperial case, took the paper and pen, and said, "Prepare for the future, we must prepare early." He picked up the pen and stroked the ink, and then handed over: "This is my handwriting, you can keep it first. If you have time in the past few days, go and see the Prince Yu of the Northern Han and test his thoughts."
Qi Ning took it with both hands, put it in her arms, and said, "Don't worry, I will go to visit Prince Yu as soon as I get free."
"No matter who planned the case of the Black Scale Camp behind the scenes, you can deal with it as soon as possible." Longtai said: "Don't let the common people blame the Black Scale Camp for this matter."
Qi Ning said: "The soldiers are all in Kyoto Prefecture now. I'll go to Kyoto Prefecture now and see how that Lord Tiezheng is going to deal with this matter. It is said that Tiezheng enforces the law impartially, and I'll see how Mo Tiechou enforces the law impartially." He did not delay at the moment, and he left the palace and went straight to Kyoto Prefecture-
