"Why did you say?"

Wang Gan scratched his head and said, "I don't know."

"Can't you use your brain?"

"I am fighting for you, old prince. Aren't you the one who uses your brain?"

Guan Zhongshan looked at this old subordinate who had been with him for nearly twenty years and said angrily: "Ning'er wants to use the court to frame Zhongliang to make a fuss. This is also the biggest reason for the rebellion. What does it mean if I go back?"

"The imperial court has indeed framed her."

"Yes, but the me who is dead now is more valuable than the me who is not dead."

Guan Zhongshan said: "I can't be an obstacle to Ning'er..."

Having said this, Guan Zhongshan sighed again.

"The Prince of Zhenbei has been loyal and loyal for generations, and has finally reached this point. In fact, I know that it will be like this sooner or later. Either it will be cut off from the vassal, the Guan family will be destroyed sooner or later, and the Zhenbei army will be disrupted, or else it will follow this path. , I have never made up my mind, it was only two years ago..."

Guan Zhongshan closed his eyes and recalled the tragic battle.

The 100,000-strong Zhenbei Army was ambushed by the three main armies of the Naiman tribe. The Zhenbei Army was indeed brave, but it was difficult to resist in the face of an enemy several times more powerful.

Fight bloody battles to the end, and you will eventually be defeated.

He was also seriously injured and fell into a coma. He was escorted by less than 2,000 remaining troops and fled all the way to the Eastern Barbarians. He hid in various places to recuperate from his injuries... The hardships were indescribable. Later, he infiltrated and secretly controlled the Kled tribe...

Guan Zhongshan thought about this difficult experience and opened his eyes again.

"The barbarians have always been a serious problem for Dakang. It is impossible to completely eliminate them. It will not take long for them to reappear. The only way is to control them."

Guan Zhongshan said: "When I control the wilderness, I will hand it over to Ning'er... If the rebellion does not go well or fails, there will be a way out."

"Your Majesty will definitely succeed."

"Yes, how could Emperor Long Jing be Ning'er's opponent?"

Guan Zhongshan said, his face showing some anger.

"This boy has even lied to me, my father. Whoever calls my son a good-for-nothing son will see if I don't slap him..."

"Ha ha!"

"Ha ha!"

After he finished speaking, he laughed, and his laughter was full of joy...

When Guan Ning set out to return, the whole Dakang was in a boil.

Pang Qingyun went back first and brought back news of the great victory.

The long-distance attack inflicted heavy losses on the three major tribes of the Naiman tribe and invaded more than ten affiliated tribes. The Batu Army, one of the three main armies, was wiped out. King Zuoxian Wuji died in the battle, forcing Taiyang Khan to worship without spending any time negotiating. And, pay compensation for a large number of livestock...

After this battle, the barbarians will need at least five years to recuperate and be unable to invade Dakang!

Guan Ning, the king of Zhenbei, not only put down the rebellion in the north, but also achieved such great results.

This is like a test paper that was originally worth 100 points, but Guan Ning answered with 200 points.

The people in the cities in the north were excited, as was the case in all parts of Dakang.

In the past two years, Dakang has never been stable. It has faced wars one after another and is almost in danger of annihilation. It is Guan Ning who has saved the country from danger several times. His achievements are beyond description...

The citizens of the city fell into a carnival, but the atmosphere in the court was a bit strange.

After getting the news, Emperor Longjing held a court meeting and boasted in the morning, saying that the Prince of Zhenbei was worthy of being a loyal and talented man for generations. He called Guan Ning the number one prince-in-law and his virtuous son-in-law. Pillars of great prosperity.

All in all, he said all the good things.

This also made all the courtiers sigh that His Majesty finally recognized Guan Ning.

We are a family to begin with, isn't it nice to have such a happy time?

However, at the end, Emperor Long Jing said in an understatement that Guan Ning had been too busy and tired in the past two years. He had been fighting everywhere and had no time to rest, and he didn't even have a child.

Now that there are no external intrusions, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, it is time to live a peaceful life for a few days.

So he issued a decree.

"In the town of Yunzhou, the Northern Palace moved back to Shangjing. Northern affairs were directed by Anbei General Guan Zian, and Guan Ning was appointed as the Zuo Duwei of the Governor's Palace. After receiving the imperial edict, he returned to Beijing to report on his duties..."

This decree immediately caused an uproar in the court.

Everyone reacted immediately. The previous compliments turned out to be foreshadowing. This was the real purpose!

Although there is no explicit statement, it has almost been shown that His Majesty wants to take away Guan Ning’s military power!

The headquarters of Zhenbei Palace has always been in the north. In fact, the palace in Beijing is just a decoration.

Before, Guan Ning came to Beijing to auction off the palace and buy a new house to live in. After Guan Ning made great achievements, His Majesty rewarded the ancestral house back, but he never moved there.

Now it is required that all the royal palaces in the north be moved back to Beijing.

In other words, the Zhenbei Palace in the north is to be banned. This is to take away the right to rule the north!

At the same time, he was appointed to the official position of Zuo Duwei in the Governor's Mansion, which is even more ridiculous.

The Dudufu is the yamen of Dakang that oversees the army across the country. It has the left and right Dudufu.

The captaincy is an official position under the governor. It sounds like a high position, but it also depends on who holds the position.

Guan Ning's achievements are more than enough to make him a governor. Are you sure you are not joking?

This is of course no joke.

Everyone understood that Emperor Longjing was going to cut down the vassal vassal. The fundamental purpose was to abolish the military power and separate the Zhenbei Palace from the north.

No one thought that His Majesty would do such a thing at this time.

We suppressed the rebellion in the north, achieved great victory, and solved all the troubles for you, but you still want to kill the donkey?

But you can understand it if you think about it carefully.

In the final analysis, there is only one reason: Guan Ning's contribution is too great, and it has reached the point where there is no reward and no title.

In terms of title, he is the King of Zhenbei, which is the highest title granted by the title.

In terms of authority, he is in charge of hundreds of thousands of troops to suppress the north. With his current prestige, he is a well-deserved master in the six northern states. He can cover the sky with one hand and turn the clouds and rains upside down. He is the number one person in Dakang!

money?

At this position, money is no longer important, and he is not short of money.

During the war with the barbarians, in order to support the war in the north, Guan's merchants would sell goods in shops in Beijing and other places. Only then did people realize how rich his family was...

The key is that Guan Ning is too young. He is only twenty years old now. For others, life has just begun, but for him, it has reached its peak!

He will make a lot of achievements in the future. Will he abdicate the throne to you?

Of course this is impossible!

When things go to extremes, they must be reversed. If rewards are not achieved, power can only be reduced.

The Zhenbei Army's temporary stay in the north is just a euphemism, and letting Guan Zian take charge of the affairs in the north shows everything.

Yes, the north has been stabilized, there is no need for the Northern Suppression Army, and the useless general is useful again.

The issuance of this imperial edict is final and cannot be changed!

When the vassal reduction was at its most serious, it was not so direct, but now it is done this way!

We finally got to this point.

From the emperor's point of view, there is indeed nothing wrong with it.

Having high achievements and supporting one's own troops has been tabooed by emperors since ancient times.

Is it really appropriate to do this to a great hero who has saved the country from danger many times?

What's more, can Guan Ning really accept being cut?
