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

Hearing this, Prince Ning's expression darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's just that I trusted Duke Zhen too much in the past, which made me do some wrong things."

He and Lu Yaoyao actually had a very good relationship at the beginning, and he even felt that if he had not listened to the words of the Crown Prince, he would have been in trouble when the Lu family was in trouble.

If you just sit back and watch, you and Lu Yaoyao may develop differently.

It's even possible that she might be the one getting together with her.

If that's the case, why are you so upset now?

"Oh? What's going on? Prince, can you talk to me?"

Say, how do you say this?

Every time he thought of this incident, Prince Ning felt angry and embarrassed.

It is simply my own dark history.

"It's all over. I'm now trying my best to save it, and I've achieved good results."

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Naya's concubine didn't ask any more questions.

"My lord, the current situation is very unfavorable to us. I'm afraid we can no longer stay in this capital."

Zhen Guo Gong's Mansion, Zhen Guo Gong was also very anxious during this period.

Faced with the targeting of Prince Ning's faction in the court, privately, all of his original subordinates had their own ideas.

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

It is true that we can no longer stay in the capital. Now Emperor Hongwen is just sitting on the mountain watching the fight between tigers and tigers.

Once he had the opportunity, he was afraid that not only would he not let him go, but Prince Ning would also be suppressed in the same way.

Under the current situation, continuing to stay in the capital will only intensify the conflict between him and Prince Ning's faction. Once the conflict deepens, some things and some bottom lines will no longer be taken into consideration. Once certain things are revealed, what awaits them will be

A devastating disaster.

"What can you do to get your father-in-law to leave the capital?"

He was being stared at, but he couldn't just leave if he wanted to.

"It's very simple. As long as chaos breaks out in Dongzhou, you still have a lot of military power. Although some of them have already wavered, if chaos breaks out in Dongzhou, the emperor can only rely on you."

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

Hearing this, the Duke of Zhenguo immediately began to think deeply.

This is indeed a good idea. Now it is useless to continue to stay. Even without Emperor Hongwen taking action, he will be cannibalized bit by bit by Prince Ning's faction.

Going outside is indeed much better than staying in the capital.

But how to cause chaos in Dongzhou? Emperor Hongwen would not let him go in general chaos.

As if aware of his thoughts, the person opposite smiled slightly and said, "Beichu."

"Um?"

"Now that most of the Duke's forces are still in the north, Beichu can take advantage of them."

Hearing this, Duke Zhenguo nodded, frowned and began to think deeply.

A month later, urgent news came from the north that the Northern Chu army was pressing on the border.

As soon as the battle report arrived in the capital, almost the whole city was in an uproar. Dongzhou and Beichu were old enemies. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, they fought continuously.

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 only minor conflicts.

Something like this, with a large army pressing down on the territory, has not happened for many years.

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

According to his analysis, Beichu only attacked Xirong last year. Although it achieved some gains, it was also dealt with by Southern Xinjiang. There should be no possibility of another war within three to five years.

Why did the army suddenly invade the territory?

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

"Something's wrong, something's wrong."

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

The secret guard retreated, and King Jin frowned, his eyes looking thoughtful.

"Didn't you say that there won't be a war in three to five years? Why did Beichu suddenly have a large army on the border?"

Lu Yaoyao was also surprised.

"I don't know about this either, so I'd better investigate first."

Lu Yaoyao nodded, thinking that what should come will always come. Why is it so difficult to live a peaceful life?

Beichu's sudden action made the Dongzhou court very busy.

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

Emperor Hongwen sat on the dragon chair and glanced at all the ministers below.

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

"After all, the situation in Xirong has slowly begun to calm down."

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

Both Bei Chu and Dongzhou lacked war horses. Last year, Bei Chu attacked Xirong. Firstly, it was to plunder resources to relieve domestic pressure. Secondly, it was for war horses, or to have a steady supply of war horses in the future.

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

But now the marriage between Xirong and Dongzhou, the intention of forming an alliance, has been put on the table. If Xirong wins the championship and the alliance between the two parties is stabilized, their actions of Beichu last year will be of little use, not to mention the addition of Xirong as an enemy.

.

Therefore, when Bei Chu sent troops to Dongzhou at this time, he wanted to seize an opportunity and use the existing advantages to weaken Dongzhou's national power, so that even in the future, Xirong and Dongzhou Alliance, two countries whose national power has declined a lot, will

Beichu is not without the strength to fight.

"Beichu and Dongzhou are old enemies. Now that we have sent troops, I think we can't just watch. The situation in our country this year is very good."

"You may not have the strength to fight."

"It's not appropriate. Although the current situation in our country is excellent, it is still inappropriate to start a war with Beichu."

"Don't forget, there is Southern Xinjiang nearby."

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

In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, some people advocated fighting, while others advocated peace talks, and there was a lot of quarrels.

Emperor Hongwen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, lowered his eyes and looked at the Jinshi thinking.

After a long time, he coughed loudly, and the officials who were arguing below stopped one after another.

"I know all your thoughts, dear friends."

"I don't want to fight. After all, it's hard for us people in Dongzhou to live a stable life."

"But if someone asks us to fight, we have to fight."

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

When everyone heard this, they stopped quarreling.

"Then do you think that general should be sent north to take charge?"
