Gao Lian was slightly startled.

He suddenly found that his face, which usually looked a little childish, now had an unfathomable look to it.

Did I see it wrong?

Then he began to think about the questions Xiao Zheng asked.

He said bad things about Yu Wenxiong in the court meeting just now, because Yu Wenxiong once called his son a idiot in public, and he was very hostile to him.

This feeling was very familiar to him.

He had felt it with Guan Zhongshan, and he had felt it with Guan Ning.

Yu Wenxiong continues to be in charge of the army and continues to have power, which is not good for his Gao family.

So he wants to suppress it.

But this does not mean that he denies Yu Wenxiong's talent.

From the bottom of his heart, he believed that Yu Wenxiong was the only one who could defeat the evildoer Guan Ning in today's world.

All his strategies were quite clever, but the reason why he failed was because the imperial court was holding him back.

How can he be a confused person if he can sit in this position?

He was just pretending to be confused because he understood.

He also knew that there were many people like him.

Not even Yu Wenxiong, let alone the three princes.

His Majesty sent another Fei Tian to supervise the army. This man was very talented, but the specifics were unclear.

He couldn't see through this person.

But facing Guan Ning, there is a high probability that it will not work.

so……

His heart shivered.

Did the prince take the lead on purpose?

When he looked at Xiao Zheng's expression, he really became enigmatic at this moment.

"Are you... borrowing a knife to kill someone?"

he asked with surprise.

This is the only possibility.

Originally, the three princes did not dare to accept this errand.

No one can bear the responsibility for failure at this stage, and there are still risks.

Many people in the court knew that the 200,000 men in the front army were ready to give up.

While using them to consume Guan Ning's army, they will also consume themselves.

Another advantage of this is that it can alleviate the pressure on food and grass.

Since everyone is dead, there is no need to eat.

So they were hesitant, but after Xiao Zheng mentioned it, they had to follow suit.

Then they failed, were even captured by Guan Ning, or died on the battlefield.

In this way, they will no longer be able to threaten Xiao Zheng's position as prince.

Moreover, with these princes in the capital, Xiao Zheng could not do anything due to restrictions. It would be beneficial to Xiao Zheng for them to leave the capital.

Thinking this way, Gao Lian's inner shock became more and more serious.

He suddenly remembered that the death of the second prince at that time was probably done by the man in front of him...

Has he been pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger?

Gao Lian felt that he had to get to know the "young" Crown Prince again.

Xiao Zheng did not answer, but asked again: "Is it time for the teacher to make some preparations?"

"What preparation?"

Gao Lian suddenly found that he could not keep up with the prince's thoughts.

"Preparation for the collapse of the war situation."

Xiao Zheng's face still looked young, but he was calmer than ever before.

"To be honest, do you think it is safe to put the safety of the imperial court on an army that was once an enemy country?"

Gao Lian suppressed the shock in his heart.

"What does His Highness the Crown Prince want to say?"

"Once you get to that point, what do you think it will be like?"

Xiao Zheng said: "If Yizhou is lost and Wenzhou is lost again, Shangjing will be completely exposed to Guan Ning. Then Shangjing will be in chaos and the court will be shaken. Can Shangjing be defended?"

"Leaving aside the question of whether we can hold on, who dares to take the risk and defend the capital, and who can King Qin come to his rescue?"

Gao Lian was shocked!

A young prince who didn't care about anyone turned out to be very lucid in his analysis.

Is this possible?

Of course!

He has already thought about it and even made preparations...

"Who taught you these?"

Gao Lian felt that there must be an expert behind the prince.

The teaching he is talking about is not analysis.

It's the scheming and scheming he showed.

"I said I taught myself, do you believe it?"

Xiao Zheng said something very calmly.

"There is endless pressure and pressure every day, and we even face the threat of death all the time. In this environment, there is no need to learn to do it naturally."

Gao Lian understood and could understand.

When His Majesty made him a prince, he was at the center of the storm, and his beautiful childhood had nothing to do with him.

The brother who loved him the most hated him to death!

Gao Lian knew that Xiao Zheng had gone through hell at least twice.

Yes, in such an environment, what else can’t be learned?

What's more, the children of the royal family receive the best training from an early age. They learn the art of the emperor, and they mature earlier than the children of ordinary families!

evildoer!

Gao Lian really opened his eyes.

"What I want to say is not this, but the consequences of this matter."

Xiao Zheng continued: "If it really comes to that point, will my father still protect you? Or can he protect you?"

"Don't forget the reason why Guan Ning raised the army?"

The shock continues.

Apparently this is the root cause.

Gao Lian had also thought about this issue, but not so deeply.

From the beginning, he never thought that His Majesty would hand him over to Duan Ang. The reason was simple, because they had a community of interests.

But now he was awakened.

When that time comes, there will be no need for His Majesty to hand them over.

Rather, the civil and military councils of the Manchu Dynasty would force them to hand over them, and even force His Majesty to abdicate.

This is not alarmist, but it is really possible, but it has not reached that point yet...

Gao Lian has obviously been substituted.

"What does His Highness the Crown Prince want to say? Do you have a way to defeat Guan Ning?"

"No."

Xiao Zheng shook his head and said: "Father, the whole country can't do it, how can I do it?"

"What do you mean?"

"Could we go another way?"
