The battle in Jiangnan made the imperial court extremely anxious.

The cabinet ministers were scratching their heads, but no matter how hard they racked their brains, they couldn’t find a solution.

The King of Kaoshan was injured. Although he had been well-rested in the past two months, it seemed… a bit difficult for him to go to the battlefield and block the offensive of the two rebels alone.

But now, if the King of Kaoshan doesn’t take action, Mingxuan’s army of more than 100,000 will be completely swallowed up.

Once Jiangnan is lost, the Great Zhou will really be on the verge of collapse. Not to mention half of the country, even the silver in the pocket has been robbed. What else can we do next?

The cabinet was dead silent.

Everyone, including Tian Ming, sat in the room with a solemn expression, not saying a word.

“Where is Ning Fan?”

Suddenly, someone’s eyes lit up and he spoke in a sharp voice.

When these words came out, everyone’s eyes widened.

Yes, how could I forget about this gentleman? He also led his elite troops and headed straight for Jiangnan. If he took action, maybe… he could stop it?

“Ning Fan only has 30,000 soldiers, and this time he has to face Chu Yanbing and Jiang Tian from the north!”

“I know Ning Fan is very strong, but the top giants behind Chu Yanbing and Jiang Tian are also strong.”

“30,000 soldiers, trying to stop nearly 300,000… is like trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm.”

“That’s at least a hope, better than nothing, right?”

“Who can be sure that Ning Fan is a loyal minister? If he takes action and seizes Jiangnan for himself, wouldn’t he be the same as others?”

For a moment, everyone was speechless again.

Now, no one in this group of people dared to believe it.

“Ning Fan, swear to the sky in Yingwu Hall that you will be loyal to Da Zhou!” Tian Ming, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke meaningfully.

Yingwu Hall, swear to the sky!

This made everyone’s face much more relaxed.

They knew very well that top giants like Ning Fan were actually very cautious about swearing, after all, it was easy to have inner demons and affect their cultivation.

If this was true, then Ning Fan still had 90% credibility.

As for the 10%?

In this world, except for themselves, no one would trust anyone 100%.

“Ning Fan should still be in Shanliang now. If it weren’t for the traitor Liu Bing, I’m afraid he would have arrived in Jiangnan before Chu Yanbing.”

“This Liu Bing really deserves to die!”

One person gritted his teeth and said.

Since the incident in Jiangnan, they have been paying attention to Ning Fan’s whereabouts. After all, this is a force that cannot be ignored at all, and it will bring great changes to the battlefield.

“Liu Bing is dead, but Ning Fan has not left Shanliang yet. What does this mean?”

“He knows that there is chaos in Jiangnan, but he still stays in Shanliang. Does he want us, or even His Majesty, to invite him?”

“Such a guy who changes his mind is a treacherous minister in troubled times!”

Someone sneered and threw dirty water on Ning Fan.

“Then according to you, Ning Fan should be killed?”

The person on the opposite side suddenly laughed playfully.

The person who just opened his mouth to scold was speechless. He opened his mouth, but couldn’t say a word.

Kill Ning Fan?

What a joke!

The difficulty is no less than killing Yang Xiao!

“The health of the King of Kaoshan is important. All we can do now is to place our hopes on Ning Fan.”

Tian Ming spoke again.

When he spoke, the whole room was instantly quiet, which also showed his status and position in the cabinet vividly.

“Whether he is arrogant or waiting for a good price, we must take the initiative. Otherwise, Jiangnan will surely fall.”

“What I mean is, draft an edict to confer Ning Fan as the Grand Commander of Beiyou, control the six states of the north, supervise all important matters, and act at your convenience!”

Hiss! ! !

Tian Ming’s words made everyone in the room gasp.

Let’s not talk about what the title of the Grand Commander of Beiyou is, but controlling the six states and even supervising all important matters, can you act at your convenience?

This is almost conferring Ning Fan as a local emperor. Half of the country belongs to him. Such wealth has never been seen in the eight hundred years of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

“Mr. Ming, no!”

“Isn’t this handing over half of the country to Ning Fan?”

“Yes, Mr. Ming, this is more powerful than the king of a different surname. If Ning Fan is a loyal minister, it’s fine. If he has a rebellious heart… then this matter,

I’m afraid it will…”

“Not appropriate, not appropriate.”

For a moment, everyone objected.

Tian Ming stroked his beard and smiled: “Everyone, please be patient.”

“I would like to ask you, how many of the six northern states are still in the hands of the court now?”

“Youzhou, Liangzhou, and the mountain ridge that was just killed are all in the hands of Ning Fan, and the other three states have already rebelled.”

“So this control of the six states sounds quite bluffing, but it’s just a title.”

“Besides, if the court can give him this false title, it can naturally take it.”

“Even if he is not given the title of Ning Fan, if Ning Fan has the intention to rebel, won’t he sooner or later attack the other three northern states?”

“So, we have to use this as an excuse to let Ning Fan send troops to Jiangnan and solve the disaster in Jiangnan first. This is the top priority at the moment. ”

Tian Ming explained with a smile.

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.

Yes, this title sounds very intimidating, what about controlling the six states, but in fact, none of these six states are in the hands of the court.

You want to control?

Go and fight for it yourself!

Now is not a peaceful time, so the biggest title of this is just a name, the court has no substantial losses, and Ning Fan will not get any substantial rewards.

“Not bad, not bad, you are worthy of being a famous official!”

“The famous official is worthy of being an old fox…very shrewd.”

“This matter will be handled like this.”

“But, do you need to ask His Majesty for instructions on this matter? After all, it is of great importance. The six states and the Grand Commander of Beiyou have never had this before.”

Everyone agreed.

But there is still some worry. If the Emperor Tiande does not speak up about such a big thing, will the situation that has just been balanced tilt again?

“I’ll go and talk to His Majesty! ”

“You, draft the edict quickly, and send it to Ning Fan as fast as you can.”

“Tell him that from now on, he is the pillar of our Great Zhou, and the trouble in Jiangnan must be solved at all costs.”

Tian Ming said in a deep voice.

The cabinet worked very quickly. After only half an hour, the imperial edict was sent to the mountain ridge with an 800-mile express.

At this moment, Ning Fan was already on the land of Huizhou.

How could he know that such a huge fortune would befall him out of nowhere.

These people in the cabinet did not know that when they were still scratching their heads, Ning Fan had already been on the road.
