"Since that's the case, why doesn't the prince try his best to win him over?"

Hearing this, King Ning's expression sank, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's only because I trusted Lord Zhen Guo so much that I did something wrong."

At the beginning, he and Lu Yaoyao actually had a very good friendship, and he even felt that if he hadn't listened to the son of Zhen Guogong, he would have been in a difficult situation for the Lu family.

If he stood by and watched, he and Lu Yaoyao might develop differently.

It is even possible that the one who came together with her may be himself.

If so, why would I be so troubled now?

"Oh? What's going on? Can the prince talk to the concubine?"

Say, how do you say this?
King Ning felt angry and ashamed every time he thought of this incident.

It is simply his own dark history.

"It's all over, and the king is trying his best to restore it now, and it has achieved good results."

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Naya's side concubine didn't continue to ask.

"My lord, the current situation is very unfavorable to us. I'm afraid this capital city can't stay any longer."

Zhen Guogong's mansion, during this period of time, Zhen Guogong is also in a state of desperation.

Facing the target of King Ning's faction in the court, privately, each of his original subordinates had their own ideas.

His power is approaching the brink of collapse step by step.

It's true that the capital can't stay any longer, and the current Emperor Hongwen is sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight.

Once given the chance, he is afraid that not only will he not let himself go, but King Ning will also be suppressed in the same way.

In the current situation, staying in the capital will only intensify the conflict between him and King Ning's faction. Once the conflict deepens, some things, some bottom lines, will no longer be taken into account. Once certain things are uncovered, what awaits them will be The catastrophe.

"What can you do? Can you let the Duke leave the capital?"

He was being watched closely, but he couldn't just leave if he wanted to.

"It's very simple. You only need Dongzhou to be in chaos. You still have a lot of military power in your hands. Although some parts have been shaken, if Dongzhou is in chaos, the emperor can only rely on you."

"When you go outside, you won't be so passive, and you have the military power in your hands. If you really get to that point, not to mention replacing it, at least you can still occupy the land and become king, right?"

Hearing this, Zhen Guogong immediately became thoughtful.

This is indeed a good way, now it is useless to continue to stay, even if Emperor Hongwen doesn't need to do it, he will be eaten away by King Ning's faction little by little.

It is indeed much better to go out than to stay in the capital.

But how to make Dongzhou mess up?To know the general chaos, Emperor Hongwen would not let him go.

Seemingly aware of his thoughts, the person opposite smiled and said, "Bei Chu."

"Ok?"

"Nowadays, most of the Duke's power is still in the north, so Beichu can take advantage of it."

Hearing this, Lord Zhen nodded, frowning and thinking.

A month later, an urgent report came from the north, and the army of Northern Chu came under pressure.

As soon as the battle report arrived in the capital, the city was in an uproar. Dongzhou and Beichu were old enemies. At the beginning of the founding of the country, they fought again and again.

However, in the past ten or twenty years, both sides have been in a truce stage. Although there are frequent frictions on the border, they are all small fights.

Such a large army pressing down on the border has not happened for many years.

When Emperor Hongwen received the battle report, he frowned, something was wrong.

According to his analysis, Northern Chu attacked Xirong only last year. Although it gained some gains, it was also cleaned up by Nanjiang. There is no possibility that there will be another war in three or five years.

Why did the army suddenly come under pressure?

At the same time, King Jin was also surprised. He was accompanying Lu Yaoyao at Chengyuan Villa when the secret guards of the palace suddenly came and reported the situation.

"It's not right, it's not right."

"Go and check, what's going on in the north recently."

The dark guard retreated, and King Jin frowned, his eyes revealing a look of thought.

"Didn't you say that there won't be a war in three or five years? Why is the Northern Chu army suddenly overwhelmed?"

Lu Yaoyao was also very surprised.

"I don't know about this, let's investigate first."

Lu Yaoyao nodded, thinking that what should come is still coming, why is it so difficult to live a peaceful and stable life?
And Bei Chu's sudden action made the Dongzhou court busy.

"My dear friends, please tell me why Bei Chu did this?"

Emperor Hongwen sat on the dragon chair, his eyes swept over all the ministers below.

"The veteran thinks that Beichu's move is because they are worried about our complete alliance with Xirong, so they want to preemptively strike."

"After all, the situation on Xirong's side has gradually calmed down."

As soon as Wen Songtao opened his mouth, Emperor Hongwen nodded secretly in his heart, and he also thought of this.

Both Northern Chu and Dongzhou lacked war horses. Last year, Northern Chu attacked Xirong, firstly to plunder resources to relieve domestic pressure, and secondly for war horses, or to have a steady supply of war horses in the future.

In this way, he can make up for his shortcomings and strengthen his own strength, so that he can gain some advantages when he targets Dongzhou in the future.

But now that Xirong and Dongzhou are married, the intention of forming an alliance has been laid out. If Xirong wins the championship and the alliance between the two sides is stabilized, what they did in Beichu last year will be of little use, not to mention adding Xirong as an enemy. .

Therefore, at this time, Northern Chu sent troops to Dongzhou to seize an opportunity and use its existing advantages to weaken the national power of Dongzhou. In this way, even in the future, Xirong and Dongzhou alliance, the two countries whose national strength has declined a lot, he Northern Chu is not without the power to fight.

"Northern Chu and Dongzhou are old enemies. Now that troops have been dispatched, I think we can't watch. Our domestic situation is very good this year."

"Not necessarily without the power to fight."

"Not right. Although our domestic situation is very good now, it is still not right to go to war with Northern Chu."

"Don't forget, there is Southern Border on the side."

"The veteran feels that envoys should be sent to discuss peace."

In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, some people advocated fighting, while others advocated peace talks.

And Emperor Hongwen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, lowered his eyes and saw the thoughtful expression of Jinshi.

After a long time, he coughed clearly, and the quarreling officials below stopped one after another.

"I know the thoughts of all my lovers."

"Fight, I don't want to fight either, after all, the ordinary people of Dongzhou have had a hard time living a stable life."

"But someone else is asking us to fight, so we have to fight."

"In this way, first mobilize people to go north, and at the same time send envoys to inquire about the specific situation. It is best to negotiate a peace. If they cannot negotiate a peace, then we will accompany them if they want to fight."

When everyone heard this, they stopped arguing.

"Then what do you guys think, that general should be sent to the north?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but Lord Zhen Guo didn't say a word in the crowd.
