Yan Qiuke strode into the imperial study. After ascending the throne, Ning Lang followed Murong Che's wishes and appointed Yan Qiuke as the general of the country. He could even walk around the palace at will and wear a sword with him. It was the highest honor.
.
Before Ning Lang understood the meaning of Yan Qiuke's words, he saw General Yan clasping his fists and saluting: "I see you, Your Majesty."
"General Yan, there is no need to be polite." Ning Lang raised his hand. This old general had always taken good care of him. Ning Lang could feel his care and kindness, so he would be close to him without Murong Che having to explain.
And respect Yan Qiuke.
General Yan stood up, looked at his words and said, "Your Majesty, are you worried about the army of the Lu State pressing down on the border?"
Ning Lang was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the pile of information in front of him were all information from the fortress cities on the border. General Yan had previously taken action and controlled the soldiers sent by the late emperor.
It was firmly locked within the borders of the country, but there was still no change on the mainland side, and they still looked prepared.
Although they were the ones who caused this matter first, and the Southern Kingdom should be blamed, but now the Southern Kingdom has changed hands, it is a troubled time, and everything is waiting to be done.
It was unavoidable to worry that the Lu Kingdom would take the opportunity to start a war. After all, Ning Lang and Murong Che were now in the royal city. If a fight broke out on the border, they would be out of reach. Those officials could not help but feel anxious and kept urging Ning Lang on how to deal with it.
Ning Lang: "..."
He really hadn't looked at these discounts carefully before.
However, Cai Cai was indeed troubled about the border matter, but could he tell General Yan directly? Although General Yan's loyalty was unquestionable, Ning Lang just felt that it was better not to say anything about it.
General Yan had heard about Murong Che's previous development of power in the Lu Kingdom, but he did not disclose his relationship with Bai Yuxian to avoid suspicion.
Therefore, in the eyes of General Yan and other ministers, Ning Lang and Murong Che must have suffered so much in the Lu Kingdom that they had no choice but to return to the Southern Kingdom to seek their help.
"It is indeed dangerous for the late emperor to rush to send troops. In the past, the southern country had no good generals, and the king lost the support of the people, and he was bound to end up with a disastrous defeat.
But if the king wants to fight with the Lu Kingdom, he only needs to give the veteran some time to coordinate the troops at the border, and with the help of Lord Murong, it may not be impossible to fight."
It can be said that General Yan was very considerate of the emperor and his analysis was so clear-cut that he almost convinced Ning Lang.
But it is absolutely impossible for Ning Lang to be an enemy of Ye Fulun.
If we want to start a war with the Lu Kingdom, we must have a military confrontation with Bai Yuxian. No, isn't Bai Yuxian the one who secretly joined forces with them?
"General Yan..." Ning Lang couldn't bear to hide it anymore, "Do you know why Miss Gongsun didn't take action against us?"
General Yan was stunned, as if he didn't know why his king suddenly mentioned this matter.
"Didn't Lord Murong trade the lives of the late emperor and the late prince with Miss Gongsun? The situation at that time, if it hadn't been for Miss Gongsun, that person would not have had such an easy time."
"No..." Ning Lang shook his head, remembering what Murong Che said to him. Although Murong Che never said he couldn't tell others, it shouldn't matter if he told General Yan.
"The financial resources in Miss Gongsun's hands were enough to collapse the economy of the Southern Kingdom, but she retreated after receiving the news that the Emperor of Lu was helping her behind the scenes."
General Yan's face was full of disbelief.
"Your Majesty is saying that the emperor of the Lu Kingdom has joined forces with us?"
Ning Lang nodded seriously: "The Emperor of Lu State has always led troops at the border and never crossed the border. What's more, it was the Southern State who first sent troops to gather at the border. Their reaction is understandable.
General Yan has helped Gu Gu a lot, and Gu will not hide it from you. As long as Gu reigns for one day and the emperor is in power in Lu, Gu will not be an enemy of Lu."
The most important thing is that Ning Lang knows very well that even if he is an enemy, he can't beat him. In terms of poison skills, he can't compare with Ye Fuxun. In terms of troop formation and martial arts, Murong Che is defeated by Bai Yuxian.
The difference is also obvious.
It is better to manage the Southern Kingdom, which is now full of bad habits, and sort out the mess of the late emperor. That is the most important thing.
On the outskirts of Nanguo, in an ordinary carriage, the King of Nan and Prince Ningqiao looked defeated.
Ever since Gongsun Wenyue resisted Ning Lang and brought the Nanwang back without using the power of the Gongsun family, the Nanwang seemed to have aged ten years, and other people were not normal. He only remembered his son Ning Qiao, who was there every day.
Haunting Ning Qiao.
Ning Qiao is actually one of Nan Wang's sons, but he is usually very good at pleasing Nan Wang. Compared to a brother who comes from the same father and is a dissolute and unscrupulous brother, he is much more honest.
Since he had been showing courtesy in front of King Nan all day long, the prince fell on his head.
His Royal Highness, the former Crown Prince, looks like a human being, but his IQ is not very high. In the past ten years, his most familiar method has been to please his father.
However, the current situation of King Nan is over. He is confused and crazy all day long. He seems to regard Ning Qiao as his only relative and relies on him very much.
Ning Qiao was annoyed with him.
Although he has now become a subjugated prince, fortunately, the distinguished Miss Gongsun did not dislike him and even took him with her.
Ning Qiao then understood that the person he wanted to please from now on was Miss Gongsun. As for this father, go to hell!
Ning Qiao frowned and was stuffing a pastry into his mouth. Next to him, Nan Wang seemed to be hungry and leaned over with his mouth open.
"Qiao'er, father is hungry."
Ning Qiao pushed the person away and said impatiently: "Isn't there something else on the table? Don't you know how to take it yourself?"
He stood up, jumped out of the carriage, and called the maid Chuntao who was waiting outside the carriage.
"Chuntao, go and serve your father for dinner."
Chuntao and Xia Yu were the two personal maids around Gongsun Wenyue. Among them, Chuntao was sent by Gongsun Wenyue to take care of Ning Qiao. This shows that Gongsun Wenyue really valued the subjugated prince.
Even though Chuntao didn't think highly of the subjugated prince from the bottom of her heart, she could clearly hear the movements in the carriage. In the past, she was in the Southern Capital.
Ning Qiao's flattery in front of King Nan even made her, a servant, frown. Now it's amazing how quickly she changed her face. I really don't know how someone as smart as her young lady could fall in love with such a loser.
"Yes, Mr. Ning."
Hearing Chuntao's calm voice, Ning Qiao's face twisted for a moment.
The title "Mr. Ning" is so unpleasant. He has heard of His Highness the Crown Prince for so many years, and now he is being bullied by dogs. Sooner or later, he will let Wen Qing take care of this lowly maid!
Just as he was thinking this, Gongsun Wenqing came over with Xia Yu and the horse, followed by the steward.
