The King of Jing was not polite and pulled out a new map from his sleeve. It was a map of the previous dynasty. Today, we will talk about the classic battles of the previous dynasty, and through the military types, sources of troops, and the quality of the soldiers, we will talk about the knowledge of military training.

This was very basic knowledge, and it was also what the Ninth Prince lacked. He listened attentively.

Since you are here, just listen first. After class, you can slowly think of a solution.

Chapter 181 Taoxiang's Disaster

Xia Jing didn't know whether he should lament or miss the past. Outside the window, the sun had already touched the eaves of the opposite house. It was long past the end of get out of class, but King Jing was still lecturing.

The teacher's skills of delaying class in the previous life have been super-evolved in King Jing.

Finally, when the Ninth Prince turned his head to look out the window for the thirteenth time, King Jing stopped with a look of unsatisfied satisfaction.

"get out of class is over." There was a strong sense of reluctance in his words.

For any knowledge, application is one thing and teaching is another. These two things are different, but they complement each other.

Through teaching and answering the Ninth Prince's questions, the King of Jing systematically organized his military strategy. He suddenly felt that he could write down the content of his lectures and publish a book on military strategy.

At that time, should it be called "The Invincible and Brave Jingzi's Art of War" or "The Wise and Brave King Jing's Military Training Record"?

Xia Jing and Xue Zhaoju didn't care about his thoughts. They had been thinking all day and were very tired, so they walked out of the South Study together.

Xia Jing glanced at the Upper Study Room. The glass windows were empty; the other princes had already finished their lessons. This made the Ninth Prince somewhat uneasy. How could he escape from the Upper Study Room and end up living a worse life than there?

The thought of returning to his original unit flashed through his mind, but Xia Jing gave up. Going to the upper study room would mean he would miss Zhang Zanyu and the Jing Wang Military Strategy classes, both of which were very useful. Although Xia Jing wasn't planning on leading troops into battle himself, wanting to and being able to were two different things.

"I'll go ahead. See you tomorrow, Ninth Prince." Xue Zhaoju said goodbye to Xia Jing.

"I'll take you out." Xia Jing said, "Don't let Fifth Brother block you again."

In the morning, Xue Zhaoju came to the South Study and found his book bag by the door. His notes had been returned by Ning Yuanzhong. But returning them this time didn't mean he wouldn't snatch them away next time.

Just like borrowing and repaying does not mean you will stop borrowing after repaying.

After leaving the Rijing Gate, Xia Jing accompanied Xue Zhaoju all the way out of the harem and then back.

Ning Yuanzhong did not appear along the way. I don’t know whether he didn’t come at all, or he saw Xia Jing standing aside and did not take any action.

Passing by Qianqing Gate, a question suddenly flashed through Xia Jing's mind. If he were Ning Yuanzhong, where would he be guarding Xue Zhaoju?

The Ninth Prince stopped and turned to walk towards the tea room. There were two tea rooms in total, one next to the upper study and one next to the south study. Outside the windows of the two tea rooms were the only way out of the palace.

Xia Jing first went to the study room. The room was tidy and empty.

When I went to the South Study, it was still empty, but there was a tilted chair and a bowl of tea on the table next to it.

Xia Jing reached out and touched the tea bowl. The tea was hot and the other party had just left.

"Someone come here!" Xia Jing shouted.

Footsteps were heard, and a young eunuch came running over and stood by the door.

"I am here. What instructions does the Ninth Prince have?" the eunuch replied.

"Come in and talk." Xia Jing sat on the chair and looked at the eunuch who walked in.

The young eunuch walked hesitantly and looked nervous. Without asking, Xia Jing already knew the truth.

"Who was here just now?" He asked in order to avoid making any mistakes.

The young eunuch's face turned pale and he stammered, "Slave, slave..."

"Is it the Sixth Prince?" Xia Jing brought up another suspect.

In addition to the fifth prince Ning Yuanzhong, the sixth prince Ning Wenhuan was also staring at the Southern Study.

"It's not the Sixth Prince." The young eunuch replied hurriedly.

"That's the Fifth Prince."

The young eunuch dared not speak, but knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. The Fifth Prince had forbidden him to do so, but he did not dare to deceive the Ninth Prince.

"Go down." Xia Jing didn't make things difficult for him.

Coming out of the teahouse, Xia Jing wondered why Ning Yuanzhong was staring at the Southern Study? He even went out of his way to block Xue Zhaoju's notebook. Was he, like Ning Wenhuan, also planning to switch to the Southern Study?

Ning Wenhuan set his sights on Zhang Zanyu, and Ning Yuanzhong - set his sights on Prince Jing?

Thinking of this, Xia Jing felt complicated.

There are only two teachers in his own Southern Study. One is the Sixth Prince’s favorite, and the other is the Fifth Prince’s white moonlight. What a complicated relationship!

He, the Ninth Prince, has no interest in NTR, it's just a coincidence!

He thought again of the task he received in the morning. Perhaps he should contact Ning Yuanzhong.

Although Ning Yuanzhong was a playboy, he never caused any trouble. Among the princes of the Ning Dynasty, except for Ning Chengrui who was extremely naughty, Ning Gaoxiang and Ning Wenhuan who were somewhat mediocre, the other princes were all quite good in both ability and character.

Xia Jing knew that the crisis in the western border was a false one, but it was useless. Emperor Kang Ning must have thought about it and doubted the authenticity of this crisis.

But the truth and falsehood are not important; what matters is the situation. The current situation is already tense. If not handled properly, the falsehood may become the truth. A single rumor is enough to destabilize an entire dynasty.

Resolving this false crisis requires some real action.

For example, find out what Ning Yuanzhong thinks.

Ning Yuanzhong has the blood of the Ge family and is also the prince of the current dynasty. If anyone is the most suitable person to resolve Ge Hongsheng's conspiracy, it is Ning Yuanzhong.

As long as Ning Yuanzhong is willing, he can steal his grandfather's favor and disintegrate the power of the Ge family.

In this way, the Ninth Prince's mission will definitely receive extremely high praise.

However, the prerequisite is that Ning Yuanzhong is willing to support the Ning Dynasty instead of supporting his grandfather.

Xia Jing was thinking all the way as he walked past Yuehua Gate. He was going to go to the laundry bureau to inquire about Ning Yuanzhong's information. When he passed by Fuchenzhai, he heard a cry.

what's the situation?

Fuchenzhai is the residence of Princesses Taoxiang and Princess Xiang. Were the two princesses beaten?

Since he was already there, Xia Jing walked closer to eavesdrop and took a glance at the 3D map.

He blinked in surprise at the glance.

In Fuchenzhai, in addition to the Taoxiang family, there is also a familiar character icon - Concubine Duan.

Concubine Duan, who was causing chaos everywhere, dealt with those concubines who had no backing and no one to rely on, and finally extended her claws to the concubines who had princesses.

The Taoxiang sisters who wandered around and bullied Yan Nanque finally faced their own fear.

……

In the main hall of Fuchenzhai, Ning Yitao and Ning Peixiang were kneeling on the ground, wiping their tears, while Concubine Duan was sitting in the main seat, drinking tea leisurely.

Concubine Xi and Concubine Niu stood aside, shocked and frightened.

"We didn't steal it!" Ning Yitao raised his head and said unconvincedly.

"We didn't steal." Ning Peixiang choked up and expressed her support for her good sister.

Concubine Duan put down her tea bowl and glanced at the two princesses: "Still being stubborn? The eunuchs from the Imperial Household Department saw you carrying a fish the other day!"

"That's the fish taken from the imperial kitchen!" Ning Yitao said.

"Great, you know how to choose the lesser of two evils!" Concubine Duan sneered, "What a coincidence! A koi fish was lost in the Imperial Garden, and you stole the fish from the Imperial Kitchen!"

Concubine Xi wiped the sweat from her head, while Concubine Niu was trembling with anxiety.

This time, Concubine Duan came here under the pretext of tracking down the missing koi in the Imperial Garden, and the evidence she produced was very sufficient. The Taoxiang sisters had admitted that they had taken the fish, but they just refused to admit that it was koi.

What should they do with such sufficient evidence?

Chapter 182 This Handkerchief is a Real Handkerchief

No, why did the Imperial Garden Koi case come up again? It happened so long ago!

Xia Jing almost forgot the first time he met Prince Jing. They fished for koi in the pond in the imperial garden together, and Emperor Kangning even tasted the dishes they cooked!

The koi in the imperial garden were raised by Queen Yin. Is Concubine Duan using Queen Yin's name to cause trouble for the Taoxiang sisters?

At that time, the Taoxiang sisters happened to take a fish from the imperial kitchen?

If he didn't know that the koi was caught by Prince Jing, cooked by Prince Jing's order, and eaten by Emperor Kangning, Xia Jing would have suspected the Taoxiang sisters based on the existing evidence. However, it was just a suspicion. Koi are very different from ordinary fish, especially the four in the imperial garden. The color of their scales is particularly bright and can be distinguished at a glance.

As long as the eunuch is summoned and asked what color the fish in the two princesses' hands were, the two sisters can be cleared of suspicion.

In the main hall, Concubine Duan had no intention of summoning the eunuch.

This clue was not found by her, but was discovered long ago by the Imperial Household Department. The Imperial Household Department asked the eunuch and confirmed that the Taoxiang sisters had an ordinary river fish in their hands, which had nothing to do with koi, so they didn't even come to Fuchenzhai to ask.

Concubine Duan deliberately concealed the second half of the evidence and only revealed the first half. She took advantage of the fact that Concubine Xi and Concubine Niu were not well-informed and called a horse a zebra, deliberately making things difficult for them.

"Empress Duan, Tao'er and Xiang'er are still young and just like to play. They have already learned their lesson, please spare them!" Concubine Xi and Concubine Niu knelt on the ground and pleaded for the two children.

Concubine Duan shook her head: "The Fourth and Fifth Princesses are not young anymore. If they do something wrong, they should be taught a lesson."

As she spoke, she stood up and walked towards the two princesses.

Ning Yitao and Ning Peixiang retreated in fear, but because they were kneeling, they could not move and fell to the ground.

They lay down and looked at Concubine Duan, whose figure was taller and more terrifying.

"I don't mean to make things difficult for them. In the palace, the fourth and fifth princesses are known for being naughty, only slightly better than the seventh princess." Concubine Duan stood in front of the two girls and turned to look at Concubine Xi and Concubine Niu.

She continued, "Since the two younger sisters are not well disciplined, they will be sent to me to cultivate their tempers."

Concubine Xi and Concubine Niu were in a daze for a moment, then they understood what Concubine Duan meant and opened their eyes wide.

"Your Majesty, you can't do that!" Niu Zhaoyi stood in front of the two girls.

"Your Majesty, how many strokes of the board should I receive? Just tell me the number!" Concubine Xi changed her pleading tone and spoke in a cold and hard tone.

Concubine Duan said nicely that she would take the two princesses to Anming Palace for discipline, but it is hard to say how long they will be disciplined and whether they will be able to come back!

This is to snatch my two children away!

"Princess Xi is willing to hit her, but I am not." Concubine Duan glanced at Concubine Xi and said, "Come on, take her away!"

Four palace maids came to Ning Yitao and Ning Peixiang.

"We don't want to go!" The two princesses struggled hard, but they were still children and there was no way they could break free from the adults.

Concubine Xi and Concubine Niu wanted to resist, but four maids rushed out and held them down.

Concubine Duan had palace maids, and Concubine Xi and Concubine Niu also had palace maids.

"What are you standing there for? Why don't you save the princess?" Concubine Xi and Concubine Niu called out to their eunuchs and palace maids.

Concubine Duan did not stop her. Her cold gaze swept over the servants in Fuchenzhai. The servants lowered their heads and knelt on the ground.

"You are sensible." The palace maid beside Concubine Duan said with a smile.

Her name is Yaolu, and she is Concubine Duan's personal maid. Previously, when Concubine Duan made things difficult for Yunpin's good sister, she also helped a lot.

Yao Lu looked at Concubine Xi and Concubine Niu Zhaoyi and said, "Don't bother, my ladies. Princess Tao'er and Princess Xiang'er will definitely be more comfortable in Anming Palace than in Fuchenzhai. If you miss the princesses, you can go to Anming Palace to visit them."

Concubine Xi and Concubine Niu stared at their servants, feeling both sad and angry. The entire Fuchenzhai had no power to resist under Concubine Duan's control!

Ning Yitao and Ning Peixiang cried until their voices were hoarse. Concubine Duan started walking, and four palace maids carried the two princesses and walked behind her.

"Empress Duan, do you really want to do this?" Concubine Xi struggled hard, but the two maids holding her were both Matron Wu. She could not get up and could only threaten them verbally.

Concubine Duan ignored him and walked out of the palace gate and into the yard without stopping.

Concubine Xi and Concubine Niu watched helplessly as the bandits stole their most precious treasures, feeling filled with remorse.

Suddenly, the robbers stopped and the team stopped in the yard.

Concubine Xi and Concubine Niu didn't know what was going on, and the backs of Concubine Duan and her group blocked their view.

The maids who were holding the two people down stood up, looking up, and leaping over shoulders, they saw the figures blocking the palace gate.

They looked at each other, at a loss.

That is the Ninth Prince.

"Long live the Empress Duan." The Ninth Prince bowed.

Concubine Duan rolled her eyes and walked past Xia Jing as if she didn't see the boy.

The palace maids carried Princesses Taoxiang and Xiaolong and followed.

The two princesses lowered their heads, having given up the struggle. They glanced at Xia Jing, wanting to ask the Ninth Prince for help, but they felt he wouldn't care. They had teased the Prince of Yan and opposed him many times.
