Zhao Jia nodded, then said with a smile: "By the way, General Ning, there is something I have really wanted to ask, but I don't know how to say it."
"Brother Zhao, you are going to be a king, why are you so hesitant in speaking? This is not how a king should behave."
Zhao Jia smiled and said, "General Ning must be familiar with Xia Jinxi."
When Ning Xiaofan heard what he said, he immediately knew that Cao Xiong must have told Zhao Jia about Xia Jinxi.
However, Ning Xiaofan was not surprised at all. After all, Cao Xiong was Zhao Jia's new deputy prime minister. He naturally wanted to tell Zhao Jia some important things.
"Yes, I'm very familiar with it." Ning Xiaofan said, "I asked Cao Xiong to send Xia Jinxi back to the imperial capital."
"Does General Ning know why Song and Yuan started the war?"
Ning Xiaofan said: "The conflict between the Song and Yuan Dynasties is not just a day or two, and it seems that starting a war is not a big deal."
"It is indeed not a big fuss, but there is indeed a reason for the war. It is because of this princess, the reason why the Yuan State went to war with the Song State, and also because the princess disappeared in the Song State."
"This reason for starting a war is really a bit of a joke."
"Of course, it is indeed a bit of a joke, but Yuan Guo is really not joking."
"The Song and Yuan Dynasties did go to war. Although it is very subjective to say that the Yuan Kingdom went to war against the Song Kingdom, if the princess had not gone missing, then I am afraid that even if the Song and Yuan Dynasties were to start, the war would not start now."
"Brother Zhao means that I caused the war between Song and Yuan Dynasties."
"You can't say that. In fact, the Song State does not want the marriage between the Yuan State and the Mansion Empire. Not only the Song State, but also other vassal states. Although the current royal family is no longer good, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. They
After all, you are still a royal family, and marrying a royal princess is a marriage with the empire. Even if many things like marriage with the empire are illegal, they will become legal in the end. After all, the law belongs to the empire."
Ning Xiaofan chuckled.
"Hold the emperor to command the princes."
When Zhao Jia heard Ning Xiaofan's words, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"General Ning said this at the most fundamental level. As long as there is a princess in hand, many things will become legitimate, and the children born to princes and princesses can be considered half of the royal blood.
That’s priceless.”
"So the princess's marriage has not been completed, which is also a good thing for the Song Dynasty?"
"Yes, it is indeed a good thing. If the marriage between the Yuan State and the princess is successful, if the Yuan State comes to attack the Song State again, the Song State will be even more passive, and the Yuan State can also openly attack any country. Of course, for
For them, the Song Dynasty is the best soft persimmon."
Ning Xiaofan said: "Is the Song Dynasty so weak even in your eyes?"
"The Song State values culture, and its military has never been its strong point. The neighboring Yuan State is also a powerful country that is eyeing it, so the Song State has always been suppressed by the Yuan State."
When Zhao Jia said this, he suddenly looked at Ning Xiaofan.
"General Ning, there is something I would like to consult with General Ning."
"Brother Zhao, just say it."
"I wonder what the relationship between General Ning and the princess is like?"
Ning Xiaofan thought for a while and smiled: "We can be considered friends."
"Don't General Ning and Princess..."
Ning Xiaofan said: "We are friends."
Zhao Jia suddenly smiled on his face after listening to Ning Xiaofan's words.
"Since General Ning and the princess are just friends, what kind of man does the princess like? If I have this idea, does General Ning think it can be successful?"
Of course Ning Xiaofan could hear what Zhao Jia meant. It was obvious that Zhao Jia wanted to become the royal family's consort. In this case, both he and the Song Kingdom would have the blessing of the royal family.
This will be a great plus for him now and for him who will become the King of Song in the future.
Ning Xiaofan still had a smile on his face.
"You want to take advantage of the princess."
Zhao Jia said: "Let's not talk about utilization, let alone mutual benefit. After all, the current royal family is no longer what it used to be. If we have the support of the Song Dynasty, the status of the royal family will also be improved, so the royal family actually takes advantage of it.
In fact, for the royal family, marrying the princess to the vassal states also has a purpose, and General Ning should also know this."
Ning Xiaofan said: "It's very unfair to ruin a woman's happiness for some purpose."
"Fair? Haha, General Ning is really joking. How can there be so much fairness in this world? General Ning, don't you pity this princess? I know you are friends, and you must think about her.
Yes, but as a princess of the royal family, he will get married sooner or later, and marrying
For the king of a vassal state, being a princess should be the best choice and the best destination. Furthermore, as a royal child, he should make some contributions to the honor and disgrace of the royal family. Since she
From the day he was born, his marriage was no longer his own decision."
"I only wish I was born in an emperor's family" Ning Xiaofan laughed.
Zhao Jia said: "General Ning said it well. I don't know how many royal families and their children have thought about this sentence, but since they were born in a noble family, they should shoulder this burden. After all, from the day they were born,
Since then, he has been treated thousands of times higher than ordinary people?"
Ning Xiaofan said: "That's right. Since you have received so many favors and privileges, you should naturally give something, even if it is your own life."
"It's great that General Ning thinks so. I don't know when General Ning plans to contact the princess. It would be best to recommend me to the princess as soon as possible. I think with my talents and appearance, the princess will at least consider it.
At least he should be much stronger than the 50-year-old King Yuan of Yuan Kingdom."
Ning Xiaofan has been paying attention to Zhao Jia's expression. Although he has always wanted to marry the princess, Xiaofan can clearly see from his expression that this guy does not want to marry the princess. He clearly wants to marry the princess.
He wanted to take advantage of the princess, and Ning Xiaofan saw disdain in his eyes.
Obviously, in Zhao Jia's eyes, the princess is just a tool to be used, and he does not look down on the princess at all.
Ning Xiaofan was very unhappy about this.
To Ning Xiaofan, Xia Jinxi is a rather special person in this world.
Ning Xiaofan knew that as long as he let go, Xia Jinxi would be willing to become his woman.
But he knew very well that he wouldn't be in this world for too long, so he didn't want to break a woman's heart. He wanted this woman to have a very good home, but she definitely couldn't be a scumbag like Zhao Jia.
.
But of course Ning Xiaofan will not break up with Zhao Jia now. He still needs to make use of this royal child who is full of dreams.
"Brother Zhao, don't worry, but I will not let go of any opportunity."
Zhao Jia was extremely happy after listening to Ning Xiaofan's words. Obviously, if he could marry the princess, his prestige in the Song Kingdom would definitely increase, which would be even more beneficial for him to ascend to the throne of the Song Dynasty.
What's more important is that if he marries the princess at the same time when he ascends to the throne, then I will definitely flourish in his hands and become a powerful country.
"Well, I'll leave this matter to General Ning. It's getting late. I'll go back now and send over all the men and horses General Ning needs."
Ning Xiaofan said: "Thank you very much. I will make the best use of these personnel and horses."
Afterwards, the two exchanged some pleasantries and walked out of the office building together. Then Ning Xiaofan personally sent him outside the cottage.
"Mr. Ning, it seems that Mr. Zhao is very excited."
The speaker is Lu Wen.
Ning Xiaofan said: "Of course he is excited. Now he is thinking about how to become the king of Song and marry the princess."
Lu Wen knew about being the king of Song Dynasty.
But Princess Hard Song just made Lu Wen confused.
"Mr. Ning, what does it mean to marry a princess?"
Ning Xiaofan said: "Marrying a princess from the royal family will be a big plus for him."
Lu Wen frowned immediately when he heard Ning Xiaofan's words.
"Mr. Ning, who is the princess he wants to marry?"
"Xia Jinxi!"
Ning Xiaofan said calmly.
When Lu Wen heard these three words, he was immediately surprised.
He knew what this person meant to Ning Xiaofan. Ning Xiaofan and Xia Jinxi had lived in the same room before.
As for whether anything happened between them, Lu Wen didn't know, but he could tell that Ning Xiaofan was indeed very happy with Xia Jinxi.
Even if he didn't say it out loud, Ning Xiaofan would definitely be unhappy if the princess married someone else.
"Is this guy looking for death? How dare he take advantage of Xia Jinxi."
Ning Xiaofan said: "If you stand in his position, his thoughts are not inappropriate. After all, if they can win the royal princess, their status in the Song Dynasty will definitely be improved, and his personal status in the Song Dynasty will be improved."
Your reputation will also be greatly improved, which is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone."
"But Mr. Ning..."
Lu Wen looked at Ning Xiaofan with a worried look.
He knew that Ning Xiaofan was a man of temperament. Although Ning Xiaofan was good at using strategies, he would never trade anything with the person he liked.
Lu Wen is very clear about this.
However, he knew this very well, so he felt that although Ning Xiaofan was smiling now, his mood was definitely unhappy.
Ning Xiaofan still smiled and said to Lu Wen: "Recently he will send 500 horses and 3,000 soldiers."
"Oh? Why did he send these? Does he want to get a share of the Yunfeng Mountains?"
"That's not true. All of these soldiers and horses will belong to us, and will be incorporated into the Ning family army in the future."
