Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 661;
Wait until King Ning speaks out about his competition for the head of the military power in the North.

Mr. Zhou shook his head and said, "Your Highness, you can't get this seat, let alone fight for it."

"Ok?"

King Ning frowned immediately.

He felt a little uncomfortable, but he was facing Mr. Zhou, who had helped him turn dangers into blessings many times, so he held back and didn't scold him.

Instead, I humbly ask him why he came to such a conclusion.

"First of all, Your Highness, think about who was at the helm of the Northland before?"

As soon as this remark came out, King Ning's expression suddenly froze. He was not stupid. I didn't bother to think about it.

I just want to seize this opportunity, and at the same time tell King Zhao not to covet his seat.

But now Mr. Zhou's words directly drove his fiery heart into the cold abyss at the bottom of the lake.

That's right, the former helmsman of the North Land was his uncle, the number one official back then, a powerful official who even suppressed the emperor.

How much effort did his father spend to take back Beidi from Zhen Guogong, even though he has not been in touch with Zhen Guogong for a long time now, and the two have parted ways.

But he is always his uncle, as long as he has another day, the emperor will never give him the position of helm of the Northland.

"It seems that His Highness has figured it out."

King Ning nodded with a weary expression.

"Then let's talk about why we can't fight."

"Who is currently at the helm of the Northland, His Highness should be very clear."

"He has just made great achievements, but now he is going to be robbed of the rights to the Northland. Even if he doesn't say anything on the surface, will he feel better?"

Of course it wouldn't be easy, King Ning replaced the protagonist with himself, and he felt that if such a thing happened to him, he would violently kill someone.

"King Jin is not what it used to be, not to mention that there is a Wanfu princess. The last thing His Royal Highness can provoke these two is these two. It’s okay to make the other person uncomfortable.”

"Otherwise, once they lean slightly towards King Zhao, you should be very clear about the consequences, Your Highness."

Hearing this, King Ning's heart turned cold again, and at the same time, he also regretted what he did at the beginning. Why did he lose a good supporter in a moment of confusion?
Yao thinks back to the first time he met Lu Yaoyao, and for a period of time afterward, the friendship between the two of them was very friendly.

If he hadn't listened to his cousin Wang Yu back then, if he had reached out to help the Lu family when they were in big trouble, the situation would have been different now, wouldn't it?

"This king regrets it at the beginning."

King Ning shook his head feebly.

Seeing him like this, Mr. Zhou shook his head in his heart.

"Mr. Zhou, according to your analysis, this Northland seat is not a good job. Whoever gets it will definitely offend King Jin and Lu Yaoyao. Can we add fuel to the fire and let King Zhao get it?"

"The method is feasible, but it is not worth the loss."

Zhao Wang has now stood up, but because he does not have the support of his mother clan, his current power is not strong, even compared to King Ning who is already on the verge of losing power.

Therefore, even if those people around King Zhao knew that fighting for Beidi would offend others, they would still let him fight for the seat of Beidi, because if they got Beidi, King Zhao's strength would have a great leap.

If you want to get good things, you always have to give something, it just depends on who can benefit from the harvest or the sacrifice.

Obviously, if he can get a seat in the Northland, he will have more say in the court, and at the same time, he can use the time of managing the Northland to gain some benefits for himself.

Although he offended many people, these people did not dare to deal with him blatantly. After all, he is a prince. As long as he is not out of line, the emperor will most likely protect him.

After Mr. Zhou expressed his analysis, King Ning's complexion became ugly.

"Since that's the case, how about we help the Founding Marquis or Prince Li?"

"There is a high probability that the founding marquis will not go for it. He is a smart man. Think about it, from the founding of Dongzhou to the present, how many heroes and nobles are left in the founding of the country?"

King Ning was silent.

When Dongzhou was founded, many titles were entrusted to them.

Although there are still many titles left, the situation is not very good. Among these founding titles, the status of the Cheng family is very stable.

Even his father was very polite to the founding marquis, and he would even order condolences during the New Year and holidays, which was something that other founding nobles did not have.

why?
Naturally, it was because Hou Jian Guo knew how to deal with things very well.

When the country is in difficulty and needs help, he will lend a helping hand without hesitation, but he will not ask the country what it wants.

When the world was peaceful, he also lived his life honestly and dutifully, never relying on the merits of his ancestors in the capital to spend a lot of time in the capital.

A person who will not hesitate to work regardless of remuneration when needed, and who can be relieved when not needed, does the emperor not like it?

"Then help Prince Li, anyway, the seat in the North Land cannot be obtained by King Zhao."

For his decision, Mr. Zhou did not object to it as a tacit consent.

There is really no other good way.

Of course, if he acquiesced, he acquiesced, and he was still a little puzzled. Logically speaking, Prince Li's family has always kept a low profile, so why did they suddenly show up this time?
He always felt that there was something wrong with it.

Not only does he think so, but now many powerful families in the capital are somewhat puzzled by the sudden appearance of Prince Li's son.

The next day, in the morning court, the four recommended people all came to the court.

Emperor Hongwen didn't talk nonsense, he explained the situation concisely, and asked Wang De to hand out the four test questions he had prepared.

"You only have half a stick of incense time."

As soon as he said this, Zhao Wang frowned immediately, walked out of the queue and said, "Father, is the time for half a stick of incense too short?"

Emperor Hongwen's questions this time are similar to policy questions in the imperial examination, and the time for half a stick of incense is indeed a bit too rushed.

However, Emperor Hongwen, who heard his words, glanced at him indifferently and asked, "Then how much time does King Zhao think it is appropriate to give you?"

Being stared at by him like this, the hairs all over Zhao Wang's body immediately exploded, he hesitated and dared not answer.

"There is a saying in military strategists that speed is the most important thing in a soldier's battle. When troublesome things arise, you will never be given time to prepare."

"What I need is a person who can quickly come up with a decent charter to take charge of the Northland Garrison even in the face of an emergency."

After hearing this, everyone nodded repeatedly, thinking that Emperor Hongwen's statement was very reasonable.
