The courtiers were shocked again when they heard Gao Lian mention this matter.

Could it be that this matter has something to do with the prince?

In fact, an important reason why the imperial army was defeated so quickly was the insufficient supply and demand of food and grass.

The troops and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first.

But the imperial court could never supply enough, and the collapse of the Guan Nei War was almost entirely due to this.

Therefore, the imperial court raised grain from the south and transported it to Beijing via the Lancang Grand Canal, which could arrive in as little as twenty days.

As a result, the war is over and the shipment has not yet arrived.

There are many reasons, such as the canal has not been maintained for a long time, causing sedimentation in the river, and grain ships ran aground and got trapped, or encountered a merchant ship that broke down halfway and blocked the way...

In short, it just doesn’t come!

With this batch of food, the imperial court would not have been defeated so quickly.

It's really funny that even the whole country can't compare with the barren north.

If anyone delays, then he is the biggest sinner of the court.

Gao Lian said coldly: "You don't know, actually, the grain ship did not come to Shangjing, but now it has returned to Lin'an!"

"What?"

"How could such a thing happen?"

Everyone was surprised.

Even Emperor Longjing knew about it for the first time.

It was a real confession today, and all the dirt behind it was revealed.

Gao Lian looked at Emperor Long Jing.

"Your Majesty, have you always thought that I was operating secretly? That's not true at all. The grain transport ship did arrive late. It is not easy to suddenly raise such a large amount of grain, but it can be transported before the battle in Silla City!"

"but……"

Gao Lian changed the topic.

"Prince Xiao Zheng secretly instructed me to park the grain ship on the Lancang Grand Canal and wait for the result of the battle of Silla City. If Silla is defeated, send the grain ship back to Lin'an, because he wants to move south to become emperor!"

Everyone looked at Xiao Zheng subconsciously, and saw that his expression was extremely unnatural, and he looked at Gao Lian bitterly.

This is also proved.

What Gao Lian said is true!

"The prince has harmed the country!"

“It’s a mistake for the country!”

An old minister cried bitterly and shouted: "Dakang was not defeated by the civil war, but by itself."

Emperor Long Jing was also so angry that his breathing became even more rapid.

Isn't this poaching from behind?

The dig is still in the corner of the house.

The whole house was full of filial piety.

At this moment, Guan Ning is just an outsider, watching the joke leisurely.

Peeling away that layer of disguise reveals an extremely ugly inside.

Why worry about not dying?

Xiao Zheng's face turned red, but at this moment, he broke the jar and didn't care about other people's opinions.

As long as he can save his life, as long as he can sit on the throne, who dares to say anything?

With this thought, he said angrily: "What you said is nice. My father asked you to be responsible for collecting and transporting food. Why did it take so long? How much corruption did you commit during this?"

"The Ministry of Household Affairs has already delivered military rations to the Ministry of War. You and Duan Ang embezzled it, and then mixed sand into the food delivered to the front line. Why didn't you say these things?"

There is no worst, only worse.

Soldiers on the front line shed blood and sacrificed their lives, and corruption was rampant in the rear.

You can even mix rice with sand.

Guan Ning couldn't stand listening anymore.

At this time, Xiao Zheng said loudly: "Prince Ning, my father and I are willing to hand over Gao Lian and the others. Isn't this your request? We agree."

Emperor Long Jing took a deep breath and couldn't care about anything else now. This was the most important thing.

"Yes, I am willing to agree to your request."

"you?"

Gao Lian's face changed slightly, and he immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Prince Ning, Xiao Chengdao and his son, one is stupid and the other is vicious. With these two people in Dakang, they will perish sooner or later. I am willing to support you as the emperor, and the noble family behind me

, will also fully support you!”

"That's right!"

Duan Ang also hurriedly echoed: "Prince Ning is only twenty years old, but he has already shown his majesty and the appearance of an emperor. As emperor, you will obey the destiny of heaven and the people of the world..."

The two men spoke, once again surprising everyone.

Guan Ning's former opponent, now he was extremely complimentary and wanted to support Guan Ning as emperor.

What does it mean to be a hero who knows the current affairs?

They really saw it.

Guan Ning led the army into the palace and took control of the overall situation.

Even His Majesty had to bow his head.

So they found another way.

We were indeed rivals, and even had great conflicts.

But now I support you as the emperor. This is the merit of following the dragon, which is enough to offset the past!

Isn't this enough?

Of course it is enough!

Gao Lian and Duan Ang are not ordinary people. They have a huge aristocratic family behind them.

No matter who becomes emperor, their support is indispensable.

This amount is also extremely heavy.

"you……"

Xiao Zheng's face became ugly, and Emperor Long Jing's face became even more gloomy, while his heartbeat was beating fast.

He was worried that Guan Ning would agree.

None of the rebels will say that they want to be emperor. This must go through a process and needs someone to push it.

You should become the emperor quickly. It is natural for you not to be the emperor.

No, I can't do it.

You have to do it. If you don't do it, we will die.

You pushed and I refused, pushed again and again, and then finally let go.

It's what you forced me to do, not what I want to do.

Then he reluctantly did it.

This process is extremely hypocritical, but it is a necessary step.

Now Gao Lian wants to be the promoter, even his former opponent, this is the most suitable.

As long as Guan Ning agrees, it will be a matter of course.

Xiao Zhengxin was extremely frightened. He could not watch Guan Ning take away the throne.

"Prince Ning, Gao Lian is a capricious villain. How can you trust him?"

Xiao Zheng said loudly: "As long as you help me ascend the throne, I will make you the king of the north, let you monopolize the north, and establish the country of China!"

Gao Lian's transformation gave him a flash of inspiration. If Gao Lian could take advantage of the situation, why couldn't he?

As long as Guan Ning supports him, he will become emperor and no one can stop him.

Isn't it just a condition?

He can make any offer!

This opening made everyone surprised again.

Emperor Long Jing paused slightly, his body and mind trembling with anger!
