Quick wear: She has turned over the big guys from all walks of life

Chapter 1241 Famine and Natural Disaster 400

"Why did Prince Ping and others suddenly notice the northwest?"

Xin is intelligence, which is the information conveyed by spies stationed in various places in the Central Plains.

Prince Ping was the third son of the old emperor of the Great Xi Dynasty, and was born to Consort Shu. Since childhood, he was deeply loved by the old emperor because of his favored mother. When he came of age, he was crowned king, and two years later he was crowned prince again, and his fief was Pingyang County.

Zhou Ting said calmly with a sullen face, "The princes are in turmoil and chaos, and only the northwest is stable. The Zhou Palace is just a king of a different surname, but it has 200,000 troops. Prince Ping has considered the situation in the Central Plains and must have seen that the situation in the Central Plains is not favorable to him, so he set his sights on the northwest. As long as he takes over the northwest, he will have an extra 200,000 troops and can also control the people's livelihood in the northwest, which is beneficial to him."

The infighting among the princes meant that the princes in the Dayi Dynasty had completely lost their tacit understanding.

"Teacher, there is another piece of information that arrived two days ago. The emperor has passed away." Zhou Ting's face remained calm, as if he was talking about what to eat today. "The palace is not in chaos for the time being, but once the emperor is buried, it may not be the case."

The emperor's sons had a bottom line and would not kill their brothers in front of the emperor's spirit to gain power.

By the time the emperor was buried, Kyoto would have been in chaos; coupled with the wars among the princes in various places, it was truly a turbulent time.

When he suddenly heard the news, Fan Qingzhi was stunned.

Zhou Ting saw his expression clearly and knew that the teacher still had some feelings for the emperor, "Teacher, teacher, the emperor will soon summon all the princes to the capital when he dies."

"They haven't even consolidated their power yet, but they're already targeting the princes. They have no scruples at all." Fan Qingzhi's face turned cold. "Shouldn't they be the legitimate successor now, and stabilize the capital and the surrounding areas? Instead of thinking about the stability of the country, they are constantly fighting among themselves. Fighting is fine, but before they can even finish the internal fighting, they want to settle accounts with the princes of various places."

This royal family is not worth serving.

Without a son with a long-term vision, the princes are short-sighted and the Dayi Dynasty has no hope.

Fan Qingzhi saw clearly that if there had been a capable prince in this chaotic world, the country would not have fallen so quickly.

"They want to unite, take advantage of the chaos to kill the kings and princes, and then deal with the civil unrest." Zhou Ting guessed their thoughts almost exactly.

The world is in chaos, and it's a good thing that the princes knew to unite first.

"Bullshit! Prince Ping has set his sights on the Northwest. It just so happens that the emperor has passed away, and he is expecting you to come to the capital to report on your work." Without a master, Prince Ping thought it would be easy to control the Northwest.

However, he did not know that the northwest today is no longer the same as when King Zhou was in power.

When King Zhou was in power, all kinds of news were flying around. Although it was intentional, the royal family and princes were able to grasp the news from the northwest in a timely manner.

Zhou Ting placed King Zhou under house arrest, and after he officially took power, there was very little chance for news to leak out. The royal family had serious withholding of information about the northwest and had underestimated the northwest, and Prince Ping was the biggest victim of this.

  He thought he could take over the Northwest by seizing the opportunity, but he didn't know that none of his brothers moved. If the Northwest was really so easy to take over, would it be his turn?

"That's right." Prince Ping was not a wise prince. "Unfortunately, once he takes action, his brothers will intervene. It's hard to say what will happen if this matter gets out of hand. On the surface, Prince Ping has set his sights on the Northwest Army, but in fact, several princes want it."

Fan Qingzhi pondered and said, "The Great Xi Dynasty has become so corrupt and decadent. Chao Sheng, don't worry about anything else. You should take over Ningguo and the grassland as soon as possible and gather power. There is a general guarding the country in the rear, so they can't attack us for the time being."

Now, the most important thing is to pacify the foreign races and prevent them from eyeing the northwest covetously.

“What the teacher says is what the students think.”

"It's good that you have a plan." He folded the letter and put it back into the envelope and returned it to him. "Since I'm here, I can stay in the camp for you. You can fight with peace of mind."

"Thank you for your hard work, teacher. I am very ashamed of you."

Zhou Ting stood up and bowed, expressing his sincere gratitude to Fan Qingzhi.

Fan Qingzhi waved his hand, gladly accepting his courtesy, and said, "Has everything been arranged in the palace?"

"It has been arranged." Zhou Ting nodded in affirmative answer. The old and the young spoke vaguely, but their meaning was clear.

Fan Qingzhi was worried that King Zhou in the palace would take the opportunity to cause chaos and disrupt Zhou Ting's plan; but Zhou Ting told Fan Qingzhi that King Zhou was unable to cause chaos and had already become half a disabled person.

Fan Qingzhi felt relieved when he thought that Princess Zhou was in the Prince Zhou's Palace.

"In that case, gather the generals to discuss a date for attacking Ningguo and set out as soon as possible."

Time waits for no one. When the emperor passes away, an imperial edict will be issued to summon the princes outside the capital. Once the imperial edict is issued, it will be unreasonable for them to refuse, and even killing the person who comes to convey the edict will be of no avail.

If Zhou Ting had led his troops outside before the imperial edict was issued, things would have been easy.

It is normal that the general cannot be recalled by imperial decree when he is away from home. It can only be said that the war situation is tense.

The master and the disciple talked for a long time about the expedition. When it came to business, Fan Qingzhi didn't care whether he was tired or not, and couldn't stop talking about government affairs.

Before we knew it, it was noon.

Mingyi took a nap and came to have dinner with them, but they were still discussing.

They were not available, and Mingyi was hungry, so she simply sat next to Zhou Ting; she watched them talk quietly and had lunch only after they finished.

Zhou Ting glanced at her with a smile, held her hand under the table, and said to Fan Qingzhi, "Teacher, why don't we have a meal first and continue talking after we are full and satisfied."

Fan Qingzhi looked at them with understanding eyes, knowing full well that Zhou Ting had stopped his unfinished government affairs for Ming Yi.

"Okay, serve the food."

The topic stopped, Fan Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and Mingyi immediately smiled happily.

"Teacher, you have been talking to the Super Good Monk for such a long time, and you haven't finished talking yet."

Fan Qingzhi looked at her and said, "Do you think everyone is as blessed as you?"

"Teacher, the students have sent someone to bring you hot water for a wash." Zhou Ting spoke, and although he did not speak for Ming Yi, he defended her everywhere.

Fan Qingzhi looked helpless and waved his hand, telling him to hurry up.

Zhou Ting looked at the teacher with a smile, then lowered his head to look at Ming Yi who was grinning, and the warmth in his heart could not be suppressed; he shouted loudly: "An Qi, bring some hot water, and order someone to serve the meal."

"Here!"

No one knew when An Qi came back. As soon as Zhou Ting called him, he immediately responded.

Mingyi supported her cheek with one hand and looked at Zhou Ting's orderly instructions; she casually pulled over the nearest food box and took out several kinds of snacks, cold dishes, braised meat, and already cold dishes from it.

"We need to take these dishes away and heat them up." The dishes were full of oil and would have gone cold if they were not eaten, but the weather was hot and they did not solidify.

When it was freezing cold, these would have been frozen through.

"Got it. Wait for An Qi to bring back the hot water, and ask him to take it to the kitchen to heat it up before sending it back." Zhou Ting was also greedy for the dishes served. After all, he hadn't eaten properly for several months.
