Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 524;

Wang De said nothing, and thought carefully about what Emperor Hongwen said just now.

I think this is the best way, but I am really worried that King Jin will be dissatisfied, and even cause some problems in his relationship with Princess Wanfu.

"Always give it a try, and let's talk about whether you agree or not."

Seemingly seeing Wang De's thoughts, Emperor Hongwen also had a flash of worry in his eyes.

However, this is the best way he can think of so far, so that he can give way willingly.

Although he is tired of doing this position, he doesn't want to continue, but those who have been in this position, more or less, still have some nostalgia.

Not for myself, but also want to leave something for my descendants.

When Emperor Hongwen was talking with Wang De, King Ning also received a letter from Queen Wang who had spent a lot of effort to get out of the palace.

Seeing that the letter was full of words of reproach, King Ning's complexion was very ugly.

The current him is no longer the obedient son of the queen empress.

Commonly known as the wings are hard, he doesn't respect the queen so much now.

There is no way, Naya's side concubine said to him more than once during this time that most of the reasons why he has come to where he is today are because Zhen Guogong and the queen are too strong.

Can the king tolerate such a courtier?
If he is made the crown prince, he may not be the emperor for long.

Although King Ning knew about this in the past, he didn't think too much about it. After all, he had the strength in his hands. Even if there were twists and turns in that seat, it would eventually fall into his own hands.

This is his self-confidence, but with the development of things over the past year, he has become more and more aware that things are not right.

First, the queen was imprisoned, and later the Duke of Zhen was seized power. Now the Duke of Zhen's faction has a trend of falling trees and dispersing monkeys.

His original confidence in absolute strength has also been shaken.

He also clearly felt the change in Emperor Hongwen's attitude towards him, and he knew very well that he might be getting farther and farther away from that seat.

Then, under the fanning of Naya's side concubine, he had some resentment towards the queen and Duke Zhen.

He thought it was unnecessary for them, since he was obviously the eldest son of Zhenggong, even if he didn't have such a powerful force, he was still the heir with high probability.

As a result, they insisted on seizing power forcefully, which made their father fearful.

It's all right now, not to mention being targeted, it also hurt him.

If other brothers come to power in the future, where will he put the face of the eldest son of Zhenggong?
Thinking of this, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, and he tore the letter sent by the empress in his hand to shreds.

He turned to look at the staff next to him.

"Mr. Zhou, how is this king doing now?"

Hearing this, Mr. Zhou thought for a long time in silence, then shook his head and said, "As far as the current situation is concerned, it may be impossible for His Highness to take the position."

"You said that too?"

King Ning frowned, with a cold look in his eyes.

"Oh? Has anyone else said something like this to His Highness?"

King Ning nodded, his eyes turned cold, and he said, "Some time ago, this king talked about this matter with Concubine Naya, and she also said the same thing as Mr."

"However, I don't really understand, why do you all say that?"

Hearing that it was Naya's side concubine, Mr. Zhou was not surprised. During this period of time, he had seen this side concubine several times.

Fortunately, she is a princess of the royal family, her intelligence and strategy are indeed far superior to that of the concubine Wu You.

There is no way, although Wu You's background is not bad, but after all, she still has less contact with things. She doesn't understand many things, so naturally she can't talk with King Ning.

As for side concubine Naya, she has good intelligence, strategy and knowledge, and can easily chat with King Ning speculatively. Over time, it makes sense that King Ning likes side concubine Naya more.

"Because Zhen Guogong's defeat has been decided, and Your Highness, you are one of the core members of Zhen Guogong's faction."

"As far as His Majesty's attitude is concerned, you should also understand that Duke Zhen's defeat is inevitable."

"At that time, I'm afraid whether I can save my life will be a matter of debate."

King Ning nodded his head. It's really hard for Zhen Guogong's faction now, and many people have started to defect.

If it continues like this, Lord Zhen Guo will undoubtedly be defeated, and if he can't even resist, he will be completely defeated by Emperor Hongwen.

Some people may think that Duke Zhen is so awesome in front of him, and why he suddenly becomes weak.

In fact, the main reason why Duke Zhen is awesome is that he holds the military power in his hands, and many generals under him are willing to be loyal to him.

Emperor Hongwen was clearly aware of this, so he did not attack himself, but first divided and disintegrated those under his command who were not firm in mind.

The strength of Duke Zhen lies in the large number of people. Nowadays, so many people have defected one after another, and some people are still waiting to see.

Only a very small number of people who are loyal to Duke Zhen are still persisting.

Then, once Zhen Guogong's defeat becomes more and more obvious, those who wait and see will turn their backs one after another.

After all, this is an imperial power society. It is safer to rely on the emperor than to rely on a traitor, isn't it?
Once this is the case, the power in Emperor Hongwen's hands will increase greatly, and the power of Duke Xiangzheng will shrink.

Without people, there are only a small number of diehards left, how many waves can they make?
And judging from the current actions of Emperor Hongwen, would he not guard against these?

Maybe everything has been arranged a long time ago, just waiting for Zhen Guogong to jump over the wall in a hurry, so that he can catch them all in one go.

"Maybe this king will draw a line with him now?"

As soon as these words came out, Mr. Zhou looked at him strangely.

Draw a line?

That is to say, master, if it was someone else, Mr. Zhou would definitely say mercilessly, "Are you thinking of farting?"

Just kidding, Queen Wang was born in the royal family. In the past, the Queen and the Duke of Zhenguo joined forces at home and abroad, and they did a lot of things to suppress Emperor Hongwen.

King Ning also benefited a lot, and in Emperor Hongwen's heart, it was a long time ago.

Even if King Ning really wanted to draw a clear line, the emperor had to believe it. After all, he had half of the blood of the Wang family in his body.

"Your Highness, don't think about it. It's impossible to do it. After all, your mother is from the Duke's Mansion."

"You have more important things to do right now."

"what's up?"

King Ning was still thinking about how to draw a clear line with Lord Zhen Guo, and at the same time show his loyalty to his father.

Hearing Mr. Zhou suddenly say that he had more important things to do, his face was full of surprise.

Seeing him like this, Mr. Zhou pouted from the bottom of his heart.

"What you have to consider now is, what will happen to you if Duke Zhen loses?"

"What will happen to the king?"

King Ning frowned, he had to say that he really hadn't thought about these things.

There's no way, he's not stupid, it's just that he was protected too well by Queen Wang and Duke Zhen before, and almost any troublesome things, both of them would take the initiative to go out in advance to deal with them.

Queen Wang may be eager to love her son, but the purpose of Lord Zhen Guo to support King Ning is to want a puppet. Being a puppet is not good if it is too smart.
