She looked at Shangguan Yanqiao: "After this battle, the three provinces in Northeast Xinjiang will raise the flag of rebellion, and His Highness's northwest army will probably continue to launch offensives. It is best for us to defeat the imperial army in the shortest possible time and instigate rebellion against the local governments.
It’s the best.”
Prevent people from being trapped in the flames of war for too long.
This was also the reason why Aqiao and himself had endured it for so long.
An uprising should be like a thunderous force. The sooner the situation of war everywhere is ended, the more popular support will be won.
Not to mention that over the years, in order to maintain his rule after Emperor Ming ascended the throne, he opened a black market and sold good people.
In addition, in order to suppress uprisings in various places and the feudal kings who were dissatisfied with him, he launched wars, which wasted people and money, and there was already deep resentment among the people.
Not to mention the Xiao family incident, which completely angered scholars and many common people all over the world.
When Shangguan Hongye took over this mess, it would take him a lot of time to calm down the boiling public grievances.
"After the Xiao family incident broke out, in order to suppress the opposition voices in the capital, he has been using high-pressure methods and killed many people." Ming Lanruo said calmly.
"Although this is a last resort, it is not beneficial to his rule."
Ming Lanruo paused: "But this is beneficial to us."
As long as public opinion is on their side, it is like oil on a fire, capable of burning the flames of rebellion throughout the world.
"The eldest lady is right." Shangguan Yanqiao leaned on the stool and rested his chin casually on his hands.
"Public opinion is like a fire in a furnace. Sometimes it will burn down the whole house and the whole country. It is just a splash of oil."
He said lazily: "Although I am not as good at fighting as the new emperor, I have been a top traitor for so many years, so I know how to add fuel to the fire of public opinion."
Only Emperor Ming listened to Zhou Chen's slander and arrested young children for making elixirs. If such a shocking thing comes out, it will ignite public anger.
Ming Lanruo coughed a few times and said, "Your Highness is joking."
A petty person still holds a grudge, so he insulted her both in words and in subtle ways.
Guan Yuecheng listened and coughed: "Ahem, Your Highness, what my eldest lady wants to ask is actually - when will you return to the northwest?"
The eldest lady said this because she wanted to know where the Flame King was going, but it was difficult to ask in front of him, so let him ask for this girl.
Ming Lanruo blushed slightly uncomfortably: "General Guan, I just want to know how we can cooperate with the Northwest Army, when we will join forces, and how we can advance the front as soon as possible while the new emperor is seriously injured, occupy and instigate more rebellions.
people......"
It’s not that she doesn’t want Aqiao to leave!
But the more I explain, the more it sounds like a cover-up for some reason.
Shangguan Yanqiao chuckled: "It doesn't matter. I will discuss with the eldest lady privately about my departure..."
The uncomfortable expression of the woman in front of him made him feel much better.
As he was talking, he suddenly heard a skull whistle outside!
The three of them immediately stopped talking, and Ming Lanruo stood up and opened the door.
"Report!" Not long after, a messenger rushed up to the tower.
"Miss, Captain Zhou Ru and his black-armored light cavalry ambushed the Zhou family's army on the retreating road and intercepted and killed a large number of troops. The enemy fled in panic and suffered heavy casualties!"
When Ming Lanruo heard this, she beamed with joy: "Very good!"
She had discussed with Uncle Guan that Chen Ning would lead his troops to attack the front line, but Zhou Ru took advantage of the chaos to lead his men away and ambush them on their way back to pursue them.
But the next moment, the ordering soldier hesitated and said: "But when Captain Zhou was chasing the enemy, he was hit by an arrow, and Deputy General Hongting took his place to direct the rest of the battle!"
Ming Lanruo frowned and looked at Chun He who was bringing tea not far away.
Sure enough, Jian Chunhe's face instantly turned pale, and the tea tray in his hand instantly fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
