"Meet the prince."
Gu Yuan suppressed his anger.
Although he was unwilling, he had no choice but to endure it.
"You, get out."
Tian Zhongxun sat down coldly.
Lin Jiang immediately retreated tumbling and crawling.
"This king values you so much, and this is how you repay me?"
"That little bastard Ning Que dared to attack the Tian family."
"They were even forced to move to Linzi City."
"And we'll make them change their last names!"
"Tell me, what do you do for a living?"
"Your Majesty, calm down..."
Gu Yuan looked helpless.
In the end, he had to take the blame.
What does the key have to do with him?
What can he do if Ning Que does this?
Could it be possible that he would lead the navy to rebel directly?
"Your Majesty, there's nothing I can do about this."
"Ning Que is carrying out this matter under the banner of serving the emperor."
"I can't just lead the troops to rebel against him, right?"
"Why should I be afraid of him?" Tian Zhongxun suppressed his anger and said angrily, "He dared to ask the Tian royal family to change their surname. This is a slap in my face. He has done such a thing, and you still want me to endure it?"
"Your Majesty, those who achieve great things do not care about trivial matters!"
Gu Yuan advised patiently.
He also thought about it carefully during this period.
Finally I figured out a solution.
"Think about it, this is actually a good thing."
"He moved all his men to Linzi, which also gave us an opportunity. When we march eastward, Linzi's defenses will be empty. Your Highness can let them start a rebellion and take Linzi without any effort!"
Tian Zhongxun's expression finally eased a little.
He frowned and was also thinking.
There was nothing wrong with what Gu Yuan thought.
His plan was to make it impossible for Dafeng to take care of both ends. While Ning Que led his troops eastward to attack Goguryeo, he would raise his army in the rear. First, he would capture Linzi, then attack Lu. Then, he would ally with the King of Jin and the King of Chu, attack Chang'an from three directions simultaneously, and divide Dafeng together!
The more land you conquer, the more land you occupy!
"Go on."
"The so-called surname is just a formality. As long as they accept their own identity, they will always be members of the Tian royal family. It will take at least three generations for the concept of bloodline to fade away." Gu Yuan pointed at the map. "They will all remain in Linzi City and will also be of use to the prince."
"Um."
Tian Zhongxun nodded.
That's not wrong.
"Ning Que did this to control them."
“Admittedly, that would diminish the impact.”
"But not for long."
"It will be good for us then."
"Yes, that's very well said."
Tian Zhongxun nodded with satisfaction.
Although Gu Yuan was deposed, he still had some brains. He might not be as good as Ning Que in leading troops in battle, but he was no less capable in plotting and scheming. This was why he was willing to support Gu Yuan. He could stab Ning Que in the back at a critical moment and kill him!
"Also, there's one more thing."
"Shen Qinghe is pregnant with a prince..."
"What?!"
Tian Zhongxun immediately slammed the table and stood up.
He looked at Gu Yuan in surprise.
My breathing started to become rapid.
Being able to kill the old Prince Ning and the three heirs to the throne was actually due to some luck. Even he felt that it went too smoothly.
When Ning Que returned to Chang'an, Tian Zhongxun didn't take it personally. After all, Ning Que was too young at the time, and having left Chang'an for several years, he wasn't well-known. He was known only as a mischievous child, often getting into trouble. Ning Que's behavior, combined with his behavior, also reassured Tian Zhongxun. After all, he was just a playboy and good-for-nothing, not worth worrying about.
But what is the result?
Ning Que was pretending from beginning to end!
For this reason, I lay dormant for three full years!
Ning Que is undoubtedly the most outstanding and powerful of all the Ning Princes. The Empress Dowager and Emperor Feng consider him a close relative, and he married the daughter of the Master of the Divine Machine Pavilion, enjoying the backing of the Divine Machine Pavilion. The Duke of Zhenguo is his uncle, holding a high position of respect within the military. Ning Que also helped establish and improve the Six Arts Academy, a national academy in Dafeng. Now that Shen Qinghe is pregnant with a prince, the Ning Prince's mansion has an heir!
"That's all."
"It's just a dead person anyway."
"He can't make any waves anymore."
Tian Zhongxun waved his hand calmly.
After all, this kind of thing doesn't make any sense.
During the reign of Emperor Xuan, Prince Ning died in battle.
Unfortunately, he was so young and only had a young son left.
The youngest son had always been in poor health and eventually died young.
In other words, the Ning Wang Mansion was completely cut off from worship.
At that time, the king of a different surname was ready to make a move.
Emperor Xuan could only adopt a new Prince of Ning from a side branch.
So it would be useless even if Ning Que and the others died.
As long as the emperor is willing, he can support another one.
It's nothing more than lying dormant for a few more years.
"Your Majesty, do you still remember Choi Keun-suk?"
"how?"
"He might have been recruited by Ning Que..."
"What?"
Tian Zhongxun was shocked again.
Choi Keun-suk was just one of the traveling merchants from Goguryeo.
There were many merchants doing business with him.
And it wasn't just Goguryeo.
There are also some traveling merchants in Japan.
Qi is rich in products and is also famous for its silk.
And these people like silk.
They can often be sold at high prices.
Tian Zhongxun had a cold face and waved his hand.
It's just Choi Keun Suk, it doesn't matter.
This kind of speculative merchant cannot control the situation.
Can Goguryeo defeat Dafeng?
I definitely can’t win!
The national strength of the two countries lies here.
The difference is how much price Dafeng is willing to pay.
Ning Que's attempt to win over Cui Genshuo was nothing more than preparation for the Eastern Expedition. However, this was an overt conspiracy. As long as Ning Que marched eastward, it would inevitably leave the rear defenses empty, which would be beneficial for them to start a rebellion!
