This is how the discussion ended.

Everyone retreated and was busy. Emperor Longjing felt exhausted physically and mentally. He sat directly on the steps of the main hall.

Only then did I realize that there was still one person who had not left, and that was Prince Xiao Zheng.

He is the prince, but no one comes to him to inquire about matters. In the eyes of others, he is still a child, so his sense of existence is very low.

The same was true in the eyes of Emperor Long Jing.

The role of his youngest son is to allow him to remain emperor longer.

"Zheng'er, come here."

Emperor Long Jing waved.

Xiao Zheng walked over and said, "I have a question."

"Say it."

"It was obviously Takakura Yi's poor command that led to the collapse in the middle. Why didn't you hold him accountable and just yelled and cursed a few times?"

Emperor Long Jing was slightly startled and looked at his youngest son.

He is thirteen years old, which is actually not young anymore. The fact that he can ask this question shows that he is already thinking about it.

Emperor Long Jing explained: "Because Gao Cangyi is Gao Lian's son."

"Isn't it okay if he is the teacher's son?"

"Gao Lian is not a person. He represents the entire noble family. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, we can only treat him coldly."

Emperor Long Jing said in a low voice: "It's like they are still embezzling at this time, and I can't even hold them accountable."

"Why?"

Xiao Zheng asked very puzzledly: "The soldiers on the front line are bleeding and dying, and there is still corruption in the rear. Doesn't this chill the hearts of the soldiers?"

"Then Zheng'er, what do you think we should do?"

"kill!"

Xiao Zheng's young face flashed with murderous intent.

"Kill all these people who are greedy for ink!"

"Ha ha!"

Emperor Long Jing suddenly laughed.

"I didn't expect that Zheng'er is still a person who hates evil, but you can't be the emperor like this, or you are not the emperor."

"Father?"

Emperor Long Jing touched his head and asked again: "Do you think the emperor can do whatever he wants and kill whoever he wants?"

"Isn't it?"

"Of course not."

Emperor Long Jing said in a low voice: "There are many things that you can't do if you want to. The aristocratic system of aristocratic families has been deeply rooted in Dakang, including civil servants, military and military officials. Do you think that my father doesn't know that they are corrupt?

"

"Pull out the carrot and bring out the mud. This is not a matter for one person. Especially at this time, internal stability is more important than external disorder!"

Xiao Zheng nodded thoughtfully.

"There is another reason for not dealing with Gao Cangyi."

Emperor Long Jing continued: "In the final analysis, my father appointed Gao Cangyi. If the investigation continues, wouldn't it mean that my father is ignorant of people?"

"You have to remember that the emperor can correct his mistakes, but he cannot admit them."

Hear this.

Xiao Zheng raised his head.

"So you reused Yu Wenxiong again?"

"That's right."

Emperor Long Jing said with emotion: "Many things are done knowing that they cannot be done. I know that continuing to increase taxes and recruit troops will cause greater resentment among the people, but if we do not do this, the court will have no soldiers to use."

"It's difficult."

He sighed lowly.

"Therefore, my father can only settle for the next best thing, give up everything else and temporarily protect the throne, and temporarily protect the rule of my Xiao family."

"Father."

Xiao Zheng raised his head and looked at Xiao Chengdao calmly.

"I haven't seen Third Brother for more than a month. Was he arranged to go to Liang Country by you?"

"you……"

Emperor Long Jing's eyes instantly glowed with cold light.

"How did you know?"

"I judge based on what you just said, that in order to protect the throne, you can give up everything, including the country."

Xiao Zheng said: "The border garrison originally stationed in Yuanzhou has been renamed Tianxiong Army. Are you planning to introduce Liang Jun into Dakang to deal with Guan Ning?"

"OK."

Emperor Long Jing's brows relaxed.

"I didn't expect that my son could analyze so much from this sentence."

It’s not stated explicitly, but it’s no different than admitting it.

Emperor Long Jing finally reached this point.

From the moment he learned that Guan Ning had raised troops and divided them into three groups, he began to prepare for a rainy day.

Guan Ning was too much of a threat to him.

Even if I am prepared in advance, I still dare not take it lightly.

So I made two preparations.

One is the domestic army, and the other is attracting foreign aid.

Wei State was severely damaged by Guan Ning and was still recovering, so it could only use Liang State.

He sent his third son Xiao Qi to the Liang Kingdom for this purpose.

On the condition of ceding Yuanzhou, the Liang army was led into Kangxi to eliminate Guan Ning.

In his opinion, this is both a good and bad policy.

Among the three countries of Wei, Daliang, and Dakang, only Liang has not consumed much of its national power. By inviting it in, Guan Ning can take the opportunity to consume its strength, which is also good for Dakang. This is the best strategy.

The reason for this poor policy is that such behavior will inevitably lead to endless rebuke and loss of public support!

At that time, some people will inevitably say that he is colluding with foreign enemies to persecute loyalists again.

Pros and cons.

Emperor Longjing knew everything, but he had no choice.

The throne is almost gone, so what’s the point of caring about this?

Give up everything and temporarily keep the throne.

This time he will borrow 200,000 elite soldiers from Liang Guo, and they will also bring their own food and grass.

With this elite army, it will be easy to eliminate Guan Ning!

This danger must be resolved!

He wants to be the emperor who lasts forever, so what does this temporary chaos mean?

As long as he is in this position, all problems will not be a problem.

It has been more than a month since Qi'er set off, so Liang Jun must have arrived...

Thoughts flashed through.

Emperor Long Jing asked again: "Does Zheng'er think this is the right thing to do for his father?"

"yes."

Xiao Zheng said: "As you said, what is more important than keeping the throne?"

"My son will always support my father."

When he said this, he was secretly happy in his heart.

You bear the infamy, and I will be the emperor.

After the rebellion is quelled, you will die, and then I, the crown prince, will succeed you.
To be continued...
