Guan Ning is definitely not the kind of person who accepts everything. This is the consensus of everyone.

He came to Beijing as a hostage. At that time, there was an incident in Guan Zhongshan, and major changes occurred in the Zhenbei Palace. He was also known as the useless prince. Especially at that time, the trend of cutting down the vassal was prevalent, and he was severely suppressed.

He should have acted in a low-key manner, but he did the opposite, showing arrogance in everything he did. Only by showing off step by step could he break through the blockade and get to where he is now.

He has never been a peaceful person.

Even when dealing with His Majesty, he was never afraid, did not save any face, and dared to confront him face to face.

Can he accept it willingly?

Absolutely impossible!

Your Majesty must also know.

Only then did people realize. No wonder His Majesty established the Tiger and Ben Army some time ago, held summer military exercises, and transferred troops to the north to train with barbarians...

No wonder some generals from the local garrison were called back to Beijing to report on their duties.

It turns out that this is the real purpose.

The Huben troops have been transferred to the pass. If the situation goes wrong, they can enter the pass directly.

Since the six northern states have been invaded by barbarians, they are relatively special in the administrative territory of Dakang and are counted as a separate region.

There is a pass in Fengzhou near the central region called Pingzhang Pass.

Generally speaking, the six northern states are collectively called Guanwai.

The Huben army is now at Pingzhang Pass. If the situation becomes irreconcilable, the Huben army can directly take Fengzhou and march north.

Moreover, there are still 200,000 Anbei troops in the north, which is also the main force!

As for the generals summoned to Beijing to report on their duties, they were all favored by Guan Zhongshan, or were close to the Zhenbei Palace...

It turns out that His Majesty had already planned and was ready to start a civil war at any time!

The foreign war has just ended, and the civil war is about to begin.

Emperor Longjing's proposal immediately aroused opposition and remonstrance from many courtiers.

Forcibly reducing the vassal status may lead to war.

Dakang has experienced several foreign wars in recent years. It should recuperate and return the people to peace before it can no longer withstand the hardships.

If a civil war breaks out, no matter what the outcome is, it will consume all the accumulation that has been made.

They could understand Emperor Long Jing's sense of urgency. It would be even more difficult to solve the problem if it was not eliminated now or if it was delayed slowly.

But now that Guan Ning is at the height of his reputation, any sudden move may cause public resentment.

The people in the city don't care about your efforts to strengthen centralization of power, etc. All they see is to kill donkeys and persecute loyal people.

But these advices had no effect.

Emperor Longjing has a firm attitude and has made up his mind!

The imperial edict has been sent to the north as quickly as possible and handed over to Guan Zian.

Because these decrees are all in one imperial edict, all northern affairs are entrusted to Guan Zian on it.

When Guan Ning comes back, Guan Zian will announce the decree.

At this time, people also understood what Emperor Long Jing meant. He also knew that Guan Ning would not obey, so he forced Guan Ning to rebel first.

Who doesn't know what the relationship between these two people is like?

Whether civil war can be avoided depends on Guan Ning's attitude?

Everyone's eyes are focused on the north, waiting nervously...

During this period, Guan Ning finally came back.

Originally, it would take five or six days to return at full speed, based on the speed of the cavalry, but it took nearly twenty days to travel.

Because bringing too many cattle and sheep slowed down the speed.

Just be a drag, and you are willing to do so. Everyone is in a good mood...

Yiwei Town is the border between the wilderness and Dakang. There are many people waiting at the border.

In addition to a large number of troops, there were also many people wearing ordinary clothes.

A man in his fifties with slightly rough skin at the front asked Pang Qingyun beside him: "General Pang, did King Zhenbei really bring back so many cattle and sheep?"

"It's true."

Pang Qingyun said helplessly: "Master Shi, you have asked this question no less than ten times, are you tired?"

Shi Xian scratched his head and said sheepishly: "I'm not too surprised. It always feels unreal. It's great to have so many cattle and sheep distributed to the people."

He is the newly appointed governor of Tongzhou. When the Naiman tribe invaded, many of the main officials of Tongzhou were massacred.

After Tongzhou was taken back, it was re-designated by the Zhenbei Palace and finally returned to normal.

"It's true."

Pang Qingyun shook his head and looked at the princess next to him.

He didn't know which princess this was and didn't dare to ask.

He has been with Guan Ning for a while, and he feels more and more confused. The two princesses Yongning and Xuanning can't tell them apart...

Following Guan Ning's order, he came back early to make arrangements and took the princess to Dayan Fortress. However, when he heard that they were coming to greet her, he insisted on following her.

There was just one question he never dared to ask.

The prince once said that the key to the success of the rebellion lies in the princess, mainly the identity of the consort.

But if you want to rebel, you want to cause my father to rebel. Will the princess support you?

He couldn't understand.

"It seems like I'm back!"

At this moment, Shi Xian shouted in surprise.

Everyone looked over and saw a large group of cattle and sheep appearing on the flat and open land in front of them. Due to the large number, the various sounds they made were mixed and could be heard from a long distance away.

"Really, really."

Shi Xian jumped excitedly.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of troops appeared, but they dispersed and rounded up the cattle and sheep to drive them.

"Haha, the officers and soldiers of Zhenbei Army have all become sheepherders and cowherds."

Pang Qingyun and other soldiers who came over laughed.

"Let's go forward and greet you."

Everyone walked forward for a while.

At the same time, Guan Ning also saw someone coming.

Of course he doesn't have to drive sheep or cattle, but leads the way from the front, getting closer and closer...

"That is?"

Guan Ning's eyes lit up.

Among the many figures, there was one figure that stood out. The others were all soldiers wearing armor or civilians wearing ordinary clothes, which made her quite conspicuous.

She was wearing a light blue dress, and her green silk hair was fluttering restlessly in the breeze. She was leaning on her toes and looking into the distance, chasing that dreamy figure.

Suddenly, she saw it.

Her eyebrows curved into an arc, and a smile bloomed on her beautiful face, like flowers blooming.

At this moment, their eyes met.

We agreed to wait at Dayan Fortress but we came here. I must have come here on my own.

Calculating the time, since he came to the north at the beginning of the year, it is now almost autumn.

At that time, he was thinking of going out to fight, and it would be inconvenient to take the princess with him, and his mother would have to stay with her... In the blink of an eye, he hadn't seen her for several months.

Guan Ning was a little excited.

It is said that the best is what you can't get, and he understands this very well. Especially when he is away fighting for several months, he really misses what it's like to be in the gentle land.

With this thought in mind, Guan Ning dismounted and walked up to her.

What comes out now should be Xuan Ning’s personality.

After being together for so long, Guan Ning can already feel that each personality has a completely different personality, and it is actually easy to tell them apart.

Xuanning's character is that he can't let go when there are many people. Just like now, he looks a little shy, but his eyes are full of tenderness.

Guan Ning asked with a smile: "Do you still remember the two-year period you set with me?"

A hint of shyness appeared on Xuan Ning's pretty face, and she whispered: "Remember."

"Remember?"
