What is the general direction of the North now?
Clean up the Xirong rebels?

The mere Xirong rebels needed Dongzhou's attention there. After all, if they were powerful, they wouldn't be beaten and run away by the already weak Xirong royal court.

Therefore, the real purpose of going to the North is to curb the development of Xirong, and at the same time guard against the various schemes secretly of the Northern Chu and learn more about the situation of the Northern Chu.

Xirong is a standard white-eyed wolf country, don't look at them now treating Dongzhou as if they respect their own father.

That's because they are weak now. Once Xirong develops, they will immediately return to the virtues of blustering and ignoring Dongzhou in the past.

So if they want to continue pretending to be grandchildren, they must curb their development. Although they can't do it blatantly, it's good to delay the speed for a while, so that Dongzhou's development speed will far exceed them.

You can suppress it for the rest of your life, and wait for the right time to take it down in one fell swoop.

As for Northern Chu, it goes without saying that even though they just signed a settlement contract, they both know very well that this settlement is just for the sake of showing Nanjiang.

They still have a lot of energy in their hearts, and the fight will happen sooner or later.

Now that there is a settlement agreement, it is a good opportunity to get to know each other.

Regardless of the fact that Dongzhou and Northern Chu have been hostile since the founding of the country, and have experienced hundreds of battles, large and small, but if they really want to know each other, it is only limited to the army.

I don't know much about the production and development of the country, especially after so many years, some of the fortifications in the hinterland of the respective countries are actually not very familiar with each other.

Each of Shui Shui has spies, but there is still no way to understand many core things.

And this reconciliation is a good opportunity.

Therefore, the question for Emperor Hongwen this time was to ask them what to do after they went to the Northland.

King Ning's answer was just how to manage the Northern Territory and get rid of the Xirong rebels. It was just a small problem.

As for the king of Zhao, there are a lot of writings, but they are a bit off topic. Most of them are about the lack of conditions in some places in the North and how to deal with them.

With such an answer, Emperor Hongwen knew very well that it was researched by King Zhao and those from his faction, but he missed the correct point of the question at all.

Just now, Emperor Hongwen seemed to be praising him, but he was actually pointing him out.

He did a lot of homework, but he didn't make it on time. It is obvious that Zhao Wang's pride just now is because he didn't understand what Emperor Hongwen meant.

That's why there was a scene where everyone was shown the exam papers of the prince's son.

After the ministers had finished reading it, Emperor Hongwen asked King Ning to read it again.

King Ning was smarter, he realized the situation at this glance, and then lowered his head in shame.

"Father, my son lost."

For him to admit defeat directly, in the eyes of Emperor Hongwen and as a minister, it is still very good.

There was also a slight smile on Emperor Hongwen's expressionless face.

"It's not bad to be able to see clearly. Although your answer is a bit poor, it's not bad to be able to think of these in such a short time."

Zhao Wang, who was nearby, was very upset when he heard this.

"Show it to your second brother."

Out of the corner of Emperor Hongwen's eyes, he noticed Zhao Wang's fleeting displeasure, and groaned in his heart.

As the second prince, he is really embarrassing and useful. He has some cleverness, but he is a little too high-minded.

King Ning is bad enough, right?Compared with King Ning, this King Zhao is not as good. These two sons really make him both helpless and gratified.

Helpless is that as a father, his son is too incompetent.

As for why happy?Because this seat cannot be theirs in the future, even if he abandons the agreement with King Jin and repents, in the situation of these two people, I am afraid that he will not be able to sit firmly, and he may even be killed by King Jin or the people behind him .

The end will definitely not be good. As a father, he still doesn't want to see his son die well.

They were so useless, and he really didn't think about going back on his word, so in the future the seat would be passed on to King Jin. With King Jin's ability, these two guys wouldn't be able to make any big waves.

At the worst, you can spend a lifetime of wealth and glory without worrying about food and clothing, that's enough.

King Ning handed the examination paper to King Zhao according to his words.

What about King Zhao?He was very satisfied with his answer, and he hardly paid any attention to Prince Li's son, who in his opinion should be as knowledgeable as the founding prince.

After briefly glancing at Prince Li's answer, he immediately made an evaluation in his heart. This is very ordinary, not as good as his own.

My own answer can personally solve many difficulties in the North, but what about the answer of Prince Li?

Almost all of them are external, and there are almost no internal arrangements.

When he was reading the examination paper, Emperor Hongwen had been paying attention to his expression all the time, seeing his indifferent and contemptuous expression.

Emperor Hongwen felt a little angry.

Immediately announced; "This time, the post of commander of the Northland belongs to the prince and son."

"what!"

King Zhao, who was still evaluating and analyzing himself, looked up at Emperor Hongwen in shock when he heard this.

He couldn't figure it out, his answer was so good, why didn't this seat belong to him?

And even with King Ning admitting defeat, wouldn't this seat already belong to him?

"Father, Son"

"Second brother, you still don't understand? That's right, you're still young, and you've just entered the imperial court with little experience."

"Father chose Beidi to be in charge of the army this time, not Beidi's parents."

"The army has always been external, so there is no talk of meddling in the affairs of the Northland. Isn't this a mess?"

King Ning's words were like a loud slap on King Zhao.

That's right, he was chosen to be in charge of the army in the North, not the official of the parents of the North. His answers were all about the affairs of the North. As the position of the army, he actually intervened in the development of the people's livelihood in the North.

This is a bit of overstepping and messing around.

And King Ning called his name directly, he almost pointed at his nose and said, you are off topic, idiot.

Thinking of how much he had written just now, Zhao Wang's face was burning like fire.

What a shame, what a shame.

After a long while, Zhao Wangcai continued aggrievedly; "Father, it was my son who lost."

Hearing his words, Emperor Hongwen, who was originally gloomy, relaxed slightly, and it was not bad to admit defeat on his own initiative.

"Prince Li, I will go to the North to do a good job. I have high hopes for you, so don't let me down."

Xiao Mo, the eldest son of Prince Li, hurriedly stood up and responded respectfully.

"I must live up to the trust of the emperor."

"Well, you should go back and clean up first, and tell Uncle Wang not to worry, arrange the family affairs well, and leave for the Northland tomorrow."

"Yes."

With the election of the head of the army in the Northland, there is nothing else to do this morning.

Everyone retreated from the Golden Luan Hall, and King Ning smiled mockingly at the embarrassed King Zhao, and said sarcastically, "Second brother, you must see clearly before answering, and don't make the same mistake again."
