The direction of the war has indeed gone awry, and the current situation seems to be more difficult.

But Guan Ning did not prepare for the worst before this!

He was not discouraged, but felt that the fighting spirit was boiling, which was interesting.

If the opponent is too weak, it would be boring to push and sweep.

This time my father also encountered challenges.

The Northern Barbarians are far more powerful than the Southern Barbarians, and winning is not easy even with advance planning.

But he believed that his father would definitely resist the Beiyi army and would never let him set foot in Daning!

This is the sense of security that his father gives him. No matter where he is or what his status is, he will always be his strongest support.

This can be regarded as father and son fighting side by side!

Guan Ning thought to herself.

When such a situation occurs, it is not necessarily a bad thing.

He had always felt that his father Guan Zhongshan was the most suitable candidate to be the king of Beiyi. If the Huairou policy did not work, he could only resort to war.

Originally I was thinking about having a relationship with Duoyan and Wu Liangbao, but I couldn't do it, but now I don't have any worries...

bring it on!

Fight!

Guan Ning's eyes were sharp and full of fighting spirit.

"On the third day of the lunar month... forget it, let everyone have a good year. We will hold a court meeting on the fifth day of the lunar month. I will announce the situation at the court meeting. By February, if the enemy has not invaded, then our army will take the initiative to attack

!”

Take the initiative?

Speaking these four words made everyone present startled.

Your Majesty means that if Wei and Liang do not take the initiative to attack, Daning will take the initiative to attack.

According to their estimates, the official start of the war should be in March, which is when spring warms up.

This is also the historical practice.

If you don’t hit me, I will hit you too!

This attitude is indeed tough!

"Obey the Holy Will!"

Everyone responded, their faces extremely solemn.

War is really coming!

There was not much reaction from the people, even many courtiers, who were immersed in the joyful and peaceful atmosphere of the New Year.

Guan Ning also enjoyed himself with the people and visited the streets in person...

Time has arrived on the fifth day of the lunar month, and the court meeting will be held today.

According to tradition, the first parliamentary session of the new year is held on the seventh day of the lunar month, but now it is held two days earlier.

"Long live my emperor."

It started amidst chants.

In the past, at this time, the eunuchs would shout that if there was anything to report, they would leave the court if nothing happened, but since the founding of the new dynasty, these words have rarely been heard.

Usually the emperor speaks first.

All the ministers are also waiting.

Guan Ning said: "Officials who were absent from the court meeting today and did not call in advance will all be fined half a year's salary, and will be reduced by one level!"

The New Year is over and it’s time to get back to business.

Is war about to break out, or how can such laziness be achieved?

The first thing Guan Ning has to do is to rectify the atmosphere!

From peacetime to wartime!

Hear this.

The expressions of the ministers, who were still a little relaxed at first, immediately changed.

They subconsciously looked around and saw that there were many officials who did not come to attend the court meeting.

Most people do socializing during the Chinese New Year.

Many people had a hard time getting out of bed after drinking too much last night, and some people couldn't help themselves in the arms of which girl in which brothel...

In the past, the first court meeting was just New Year greetings to each other and nothing important was mentioned, so naturally they didn't care about this.

But now it's on the verge of a gunshot.

Not to mention anything else, just being downgraded by one level is unbearable...

The atmosphere is wrong.

The courtiers became much more serious.

"There is only one thing I want to say at this court meeting."

Guan Ning stood up from the dragon chair and walked to the high platform.

"I believe you all know that I visited the border before and discussed with Emperor Jianwen of Wei State about redeeming Wei merchants..."

All the courtiers knew that this happened in the seventh year of Yuanwu.

At that time, the courtiers were discussing that His Majesty went there and successfully blackmailed Wei Jun Emperor Jianwu and brought back a large amount of ransom.

Exchange your people for your money.

Only Your Majesty can do such a thing.

But what is the purpose of mentioning this?

"Then I went to Beilin Province, which originally belonged to the Liang Kingdom and now belongs to me in Daning, to visit the border defenders. When I was about to return, I met Zhu Wen, Emperor Wu of Liang again!"

"Emperor Zhu Wen of Liang Dynasty?"

Hear this.

The courtiers were all shocked!

Needless to say, what is the relationship between Daning and Liang Guo? What can happen when these two Emperors meet?

But such news never came out.

Some people also heard some rumors and their expressions became solemn.

"Emperor Liang Wu took the initiative to invite me to meet him because he wanted to give me a letter of challenge!"

Guan Ning's voice fell.

A series of sounds of surprise sounded stronger than before.

War letter!

These two words are too sensitive!

"quiet!"

"quiet!"

Cheng Jing's sharp voice sounded, and the voices of surprise were quieter, but the expressions of the ministers had not yet recovered.

"Since last year, various rumors have spread in the country, saying that the two countries of Wei and Liang have stationed millions of troops on the border and will unite to attack Daning... I think some people already know this, but I still want to formally state here that this matter is true.

!”

Guan Ning said in a deep voice: "The period of war is this year!"

"This...this..."

"There's really going to be a war."

"Wei and Liang will jointly attack Daning!"

"One million troops? I'm afraid it's far more than one million. Liang Guo dispatched a million troops a few years ago..."

"How can I, Daning, cope with this?"

"No wonder recruiting new soldiers, no wonder..."

Discussions immediately started, and Fengtian Hall became a vegetable market.

Rumors are just rumors after all.

Your Majesty has never said it, so it cannot be taken as true.

Now it’s really confirmed!
