I am the master of this world

Chapter 169 As expected
After Shen Ning left the Li residence, he went to the Zhang family.

They called Zhang Liao and went out of the city together to guard the camp. First, they visited the master Chu Haoran.

Seeing Shen Ning, Chu Haoran quickly grabbed Shen Ning who was about to salute, and said with a smile: "Lieutenant Shen, stop making trouble. We have the same official position now, so we can't salute carelessly."

Shen Ning said with a smile: "How old am I? I'm a younger brother. Is there anything wrong with my younger brother's visit to Brother Chu?"

Chu Haoran laughed loudly, "That's true, but well, it's fine to salute, come and sit down and talk."

Shen Ning nodded, and called the army leader Zheng Bo, and the three of them started chatting.

Now that Shen Ning is at the peak of his power, the attitude of the two of them is naturally lowered, and they are also a little worried. Now that Shen Ning is a sixth-rank cavalry captain, it is more than enough to be a master, but Xuzhou Wei's masters are already full.

There are five military leaders in the Xuzhou Guard, and the other four are fighting on the front line. Only Chu Haoran guards Pengcheng, so Chu Haoran is even more worried, will he take his place?
Shen Ning saw Chu Haoran's worries and revealed some inside information. She had always wanted to visit the front line, and then she dispelled Chu Haoran's worries.

However, this also reminded Shen Ning that it would not be easy to control Xuzhou Guard's military power in the future, and it would require constant tests.

After chatting, Shen Ning went to his military camp to take a look.

The last time he went to the imperial capital, he only took away 2000 soldiers and horses, leaving [-] people behind for training. Shen Ning came here just to see the effect of the training.

Although Nie Biao's [-] troops were annihilated last time, they mainly relied on sneak attacks. In fact, Nie Biao's troops are still very strong. If they confront each other head-on on the battlefield, Shen Ning feels that his troops have no overwhelming chance of winning.

This will not work!

So Shen Ning came to observe and developed high-intensity training and conducted formation drills to improve the overall combat effectiveness.

At the same time, the Southeast Palace.

Sima Yue called Sima Haiyun into the room, and asked with a smile: "After a night's rest, the fatigue has disappeared. I just have something to ask you."

"Excuse me, father," Sima Haiyun replied.

Sima Yue said: "Shen Ning made a lot of contributions during this trip to the imperial capital. He not only protected you, but also beheaded one of Sima Jiong's generals. Therefore, this king must reward people heavily to convince others. And he is now He is already a Xiaoqi Lieutenant. According to the rules, he is qualified to be the master, but he lacks military achievements. I am afraid that if he is given a heavy responsibility rashly, it will easily cause instability in the army. In addition, the masters in Xuzhou all perform their duties. No way, and there are plenty of soldiers and horses, so after much deliberation, I think it would be better for Shen Ning to be the commander of the personal guards of the palace, and at the same time take care of the defense of the four gates, what do you think?"

The last time the Southeast Palace was attacked, all the guards in the palace were killed, so Sima stepped up his defense afterwards, and the commander of the personal guards was responsible for the security of the palace.It seems to serve the palace directly, but in fact, it has to obey Jiang Xiao's arrangement.

As for the defense of the four gates, it is even more meaningless, because the guards on the four gates are all arranged by the palace, and it is not easy to replace them with their own people.

So it seems to be the trust in Shen Ning, and the defense of the palace and the city gate is entrusted to him, but in fact it restricts Shen Ning's development.

It seems that the emperor's reward made Sima Yue more vigilant, coupled with Jiang Xiao's reminder, he decided to suppress Shen Ning.

In the past, Sima Haiyun would have definitely not cared about this matter and followed his father's advice.

But this time Sima Haiyun refused, and he still refused in a firm tone: "Father, if you ask my son's opinion, my son's answer is no! Did someone spread some rumors in your ears, saying that the emperor is wooing you?" Shen Ning, I'm afraid it's not good for the southeast palace, and you said that Shen Ning and Li Yuanxiao will hold Xuzhou soldiers and horses in the future, so it's hard to control?"

Sima Yue didn't expect his son to be so determined, so he asked curiously, "Then the reason for your refusal is because you trust him?"

Sima Haiyun replied: "Father, when Shen Ning arrived in the imperial capital, he reported his movements to his ministers every day, and he would report every detail. The reason why he was rewarded by His Majesty was because he saved Princess Changle. I arranged for him to go out with the son-in-law, and later saved Princess Changle, and was rewarded by His Majesty, and he also came to me on his own initiative, unwilling to face the Holy Spirit, lest His Majesty would plot many schemes and affect my relationship with him."

"Shen Ning is ambitious, but who in this world is not ambitious?"

"But as long as he is smart, why doesn't he reuse him? The emperor's reuse of Li Yuanxiao is because he values ​​his character? Shen Ning has saved his son and minister several times. Due to emotion and reason, the son and minister can't let go of the grind and kill the donkey. If that's the case If you do it, you will be a subordinate! Who will serve the Southeast Palace then?"

After listening to Sima Haiyun's words, Sima Yue looked surprised.

"Is what you said true? Shen Ning never concealed from you?" Sima Haiyun asked.

Sima Haiyun nodded, and said: "If the father doesn't believe it, he can send someone to the imperial capital to investigate. Moreover, I feel that Shen Ning may not be able to do as well as Shen Ning in the situation at that time. Father I trust Jiang Xiao, but is Jiang Xiao really dedicated to our Southeast Palace?"

Sima Yue immediately fell silent.

Sima Haiyun continued: "Father, my son thinks that Shen Ning must be rewarded. If the father is worried that the army is limited and there is no vacancy for the position of master, Shen Ning can recruit by himself! Both of Sima Jiong's fierce generals are lost. In Shen Ning's hands, according to Erchen, Shen Ning is Sima Jiong's nemesis. Now that the battle situation in Dongguan County is anxious, if Shen Ning can reorganize [-] soldiers, it is very likely that he will directly break the anxious battle situation and lead troops into Qingzhou to let Sima Jiong knows how powerful our Southeast Palace is!
In addition, the royal father's worries are correct, so I feel that Shen Ning is the highest and the master's position. If he wants to rise again, then Li Yuanxiao should also retreat and sit in the rear, so that they will not be afraid that their uncle and nephew will support themselves . "

Sima Yue was silent for a long time and then said with a smile: "You have indeed grown up and have your own ideas. Not bad, not bad. As a father, I feel more at ease. I will also be able to hand over the Southeast Palace to you in the future!"

Hearing his father's praise, Sima Haiyun suddenly became elated.

Afterwards, Sima Haiyun heard Shen Ning's words and asked, "Father, did the people sent by Jiang Xiao to Longhu Mountain find the Taoist golden elixir?"

"The golden elixirs are mysterious and unpredictable. It's just rumored that there are two more on Longhu Mountain, but they searched hard and failed to find them." Sima Yue sighed.

Sima Haiyun did not ask further questions, but worriedly asked: "What about father's condition?"

"Don't worry, it will be fine in a year and a half." Sima Yue comforted, "As a father, I will seriously consider your suggestions. Please don't make this matter public for the time being, and don't let Shen Ning know about it!"

Sima Haiyun nodded, and said: "I understand, then father and king should rest well, and I will retire."

After that, he stood up, bowed, and left.

Returning to his house, Shen Ning was drinking tea in the living room

Sima Haiyun rushed into the hall excitedly, and said excitedly: "Shen Ning, you are so predictable, Jiang Xiao really framed you in front of my father, and persuaded my father to rise and fall against you, weakening your power." Military power! Huh, it seems that this guy is really cooperating with Sima Haiying! He weakened you just to deal with me!"

If Sima Yue knew that his son would let go of all the things he confessed as soon as he went out, I don't know how he would feel!
Shen Ning had long expected this situation, so from the moment he arrived in the imperial capital, Shen Ning laid the groundwork for Sima Haiyun and gained Sima Haiyun's trust. It also made Sima Haiyun understand that Jiang Xiao was making things difficult for Shen Ning. In fact, it was to deal with Sima Haiyun.

For the sake of his own position, Sima Haiyun would naturally not watch Shen Ning rise and fall secretly.

"By the way, His Royal Highness, has Jiang Xiao found the Taoist golden elixir?" Shen Ning asked intentionally.

Sima Haiyun shook his head.

After hearing this, Shen Ning pretended to frown and said doubtfully: "It shouldn't be. When we were in the imperial capital, there were rumors that the Taoist golden elixir in Longhu Mountain had been taken away, which made the emperor Long Yan furious. If it weren't for the emperor and Jiang Xiao , could there be a third group of forces?"

Sima Haiyun squinted his eyes and thought of another possibility: "Shen Ning, do you think it was Jiang Xiao who took away the Taoist golden elixir, but said that he didn't get it and he was unwilling to hand it over?"

"This" Shen Ning pretended to be calm, but she sneered in her heart, knowing that Sima Haiyun had taken the bait.

Next, Shen Ning's plan naturally involves dealing with Jiang Xiao, but Jiang Xiao is cunning, has been operating in Pengcheng for so many years, and is trusted by Sima Yue. It is not easy to bring him down.

Unless Sima Yue is allowed to do it himself.

So Li Ru thought of a clever plan for Shen Ning, that is to use the Taoist golden elixir.

Soon, there will be news in the imperial capital that the Taoist golden elixir has been acquired by the Southeast King. Coupled with Zhao Qingxuan's support, Emperor Sima Zhou came to Pengcheng with an oral message and asked for the Taoist golden elixir. It is not a problem.

At that time, everyone in the world would know that the Taoist Golden Pill was obtained by the Southeast King, but Sima Yue did not get it. What would he think of Jiang Xiao?
And Shen Ning took advantage of this time to let the relationship between Jiang Xiao and Sima Haiying surface, and let Sima know more about it.

When Sima Yue realizes that his most trusted adviser has defected to the camp of the concubine, will Sima Yue still trust Jiang Xiao?

According to Shen Ning's plan, before Sima Yue died, he had to kill Jiang Xiao to clear the obstacles on his way forward.

"Your Majesty, if there is no evidence, please don't mention it in front of the prince!" Shen Ning pretended to be surprised and then said.

Sima Haiyun asked: "Why?"

Shen Ning said: "Don't alert the snake! If the golden elixir is really hidden by Jiang Xiao, once we raise this matter in front of the prince, the cunning Jiang Xiao will probably be on guard. Then it will be even more difficult to find the golden elixir and treat the prince. It's possible. So we should investigate in the dark! If the Taoist Golden Pill is really in Jiang Xiao's hands, hope is still intact!"

"You are right. This matter must be carefully investigated. Shen Ning, this matter has to be left to you. In addition, I have already lobbied my father and king to promote you to the master. There are not so many soldiers and horses, so let you Recruit yourself!" Sima Haiyun said.

Shen Ning stood up and bowed his hands in greeting: "The prince attaches great importance to his humble position. He will never forget his humble position. He will do his best and die!"
