Everyone looked at Ning Que with a determined expression.
Tian Bi felt sad.
In fact, this is all helpless.
If Emperor Feng wants to reduce the power of the princes, he will start with the Prince of Qi.
After all, the King of Qi should have been of the Jiang clan.
It was the Tian family who usurped power!
In addition, Tian Zhongxun also showed his ambition.
He was eager to do something.
Faced with constant pressure from Emperor Feng, he simply rebelled.
In fact, if he had been more proactive like the Prince of Lu, handed over the governance of his fiefdom, and only collected local taxes, Emperor Feng would not have done anything to him.
A king of a different surname possessed a fiefdom, effectively acting as king within it. He held all three powers, military, political, and supervisory. He could even create his own laws and promote his own culture.
The emperor can give them some benefits.
But the right to govern must belong to Dafeng!
Unfortunately, Tian Zhongxun would not agree.
"Is what Prince Ning said true?"
"I feel like we're really done..."
"Prince Ning is extremely skilled in martial arts and has personal guards."
"We don't even have 20,000 people. How can we fight?"
Listening to their whispers, Tian Bi suddenly sighed.
Finally, he reined in his horse and looked at Ning Que calmly.
“We have different positions and different views.”
"The King of Qi is my father."
"I couldn't just watch him die."
"The task he gave me was to stop you."
"So, even if it means death, we must hold Prince Ning back!"
Ning Que raised his hand and signaled Tie Niu to get ready.
The logic definitely doesn't make sense.
As the crown prince, Tian Bi will not surrender.
He is a well-known filial son.
If he were to vote, he would no longer be Tian Bi.
"It seems that you and I will have a battle after all."
"I heard that the Crown Prince cherished his soldiers, but I didn't expect that he also disregarded their lives for his own benefit. He knew he couldn't win, but he still wanted to fight."
Ning Que looked at the soldiers in the rear, eager to fight. "This king came from Jiaodong and has already recaptured Jiaodong. The Tian royal family has driven up grain prices, causing the people to suffer. Countless people have sold their children. This is the King of Qi that you protected with your lives!"
"How...is this possible?"
"Prince, is what he said true?"
"Impossible!" Tian Bi frowned. "I specifically instructed them to do their best to maintain the price of grain."
"Do they listen to you or the King of Qi?"
Ning Que asked back with a smile.
He did not deny Tian Bi's ability and good character.
But when it comes to power struggles, it's far from the truth.
The current King of Qi is still Tian Zhongxun.
Naturally, everyone has to listen to the King of Qi.
If you want the royal family to help, how can you do it without investing some money?
“You…you…”
Tian Bi suddenly lost his mind.
Thinking of what Tian Zhongxun said before.
He knew it was all probably true.
Tian Zhongxun is now crazy.
To win, do whatever it takes.
After they captured the counties of Linzi, they began to massacre the city.
I don’t know how many people died tragically.
Tian Bi tried to persuade him with kind words, but what was the result?
Tian Zhongxun ignored him completely.
And think he is too weak!
They are rebelling now!
If you fail, all nine generations of your clan will be killed!
"Everyone, I, Tian Bi, am sorry for you!" Tian Bi turned around, raised his hands and bowed deeply, saying, "You all know that our hope is slim. But I have a heavy responsibility and I have to do it. If you don't want to die, you can leave now. I believe King Ning will not treat you unfairly."
"That's right." Ning Que smiled and nodded. "As long as you put down your weapons, I will not pursue any of you. But if you resist stubbornly, I will kill you!"
"Sir, I'm sorry."
"I'm really worried that something might happen to my wife and children!"
"I remember all your kindness to me. But please forgive us, Your Highness. We can no longer serve the King of Qi. Our family has had a difficult time these past few years, and we have elderly parents and young children to support."
"Third brother, why are you a traitor?" Someone stood up and shouted angrily, "Have you forgotten? When your mother was seriously ill, she had nowhere else to turn and found the prince. The prince personally found a miracle doctor for you and helped cure your illness."
"Shut up!"
Tian Bi raised his hand to stop him.
Calmly watching more and more people voluntarily withdraw.
They laid down their weapons and took off their armor.
Finally, he entered Gaotang City dejectedly.
At this time, Tie Niu led his personal guards out of the city.
There are tens of thousands of people!
The battle formation is drawn up and all types of troops are available.
The most elite personal guard among Prince Ning’s three guards!
It can be said that they are the elite among the elite!
In the front is the majestic chariot.
The two sides were mainly composed of cavalry.
At the back are the crossbowmen.
There are also shield soldiers and spearmen on the left and right.
By cooperating with each other, we can easily win with fewer people.
Ning Que looked calmly at Tian Bi in the distance.
This also shows his respect for Tian Bi.
He knew that Tian Bi would not surrender.
As the crown prince, he has his own mission.
Regardless of his loyalty or filial piety, he had to fight to the death.
More and more soldiers dropped their weapons.
In the end, it was estimated that only 5,000 people were left.
Tian Bi jumped onto his horse, holding a spear in his hand.
The royal flag fluttered behind him.
Looking at the battle formation, there was no fear at all.
"Prince Tian, you have no chance of winning." Ning Que held the Overlord Spear. "These five thousand elite soldiers behind you are not easy to come by. You still have a chance. If you lay down your weapons and surrender, you and them still have a chance of survival."
"Thanks to Prince Ning's kindness."
Tian Bi raised his hands and clasped his fists, then swept his spear across.
"But I made it very clear."
