Da Bong fights more people

He immediately realized that something was wrong. Fighting the Witch God Sect after the autumn harvest was a plan that his adoptive father had made long ago, but what he said meant that he would not be in court for a long time in the future.

This means that the fight against the Witch God is not a small fight, and the adoptive father plans to fight a protracted war?

A doubt flashed in Nangong Qianrou's heart.

The reason?

ps: A bit stuck, the update is late.

Chapter 192 Xu Qi'an: Erlang, Big Brother will teach you how to raise fish

It was Xu Qi'an who died in Yunzhou when the adoptive father first proposed to fight the Witch God Sect.

Nangong Qianrou guessed that the foster father's mood at that time was not only the pain of losing a trusted confidant, but also the idea that the Witch God Sect had grown too fast and needed to be suppressed.

Later, Xu Qi'an returned to Beijing to be revived, and the Witch God Sect has been keeping its own place. Since this is the case, there is no need to go to war.

For the Witch God Sect, it only needs to be suppressed.

But what the righteous father meant was to set off a large-scale national war.

"Father, is it too radical?" Nangong Qianrou said straightforwardly.

Now that Dafeng's national strength is weak, a large-scale national war that will take several years is an unbearable burden.

"Yang Yan sent an urgent report from the north that the Sorcerer Sect is attacking the demons and barbarians in the north. Zhujiu was unable to support himself, so he withdrew from the original territory, and joined forces with the demon and barbarian tribes, preparing to retreat to the northwest."

Wei Yuan lowered his head to delve into Kanyu map, his tone was flat: "Although King Huai's plan failed, the purpose of the Witch God Cult has been achieved. Any death in battle between Zhu Jiu and Ji Li Zhigu will make the northern monsters fall into unprecedented weakness.

"However, Chuzhou also suffered heavy losses. It lost a third-ranker, and was unable to go north, so the Witch God Sect was in vain."

Nangong Qianrou was startled, and suddenly realized: "So, foster father doesn't care about court affairs, because His Majesty is very likely to send you to the northern border?"

At the same time, he speculated in his heart that His Majesty's suppression of Wang Shoufu at this time seemed to be disregarding balance, but in fact it was precisely the way to balance.

Without Wei Yuan in the court, wouldn't Wang Shoufu's family dominate?

"Even if the foster father's focus is not in the court, but he is still far away from the autumn queen, why not take advantage of the current crisis of the royal party to take advantage of it, so that there will be no worries about future expeditions."

Nangong Qianrou put forward her own opinion.

Wei Yuan laughed and said, "Do you think it's better if Wang's party falls, or not?"

Nangong Qianrou said without hesitation: "It's best to pour."

Wei Yuan nodded: "Yeah, it's best if it falls, and it's also good if it doesn't fall. If it wasn't for the start of the war, I would make trouble. Once Wang Zhenwen falls, I have at least five years to work. Your Majesty wants to support a new party to fight against me. Not overnight.

"In the current situation, there is an advantage in not being defeated by the royal party. Wang Zhenwen and I have been fighting for so many years, so we know the bottom line. It is better to have a familiar opponent in the court than an unfamiliar passerby."

At this time, the official came to report and said respectfully: "Wei Gong, Qian Qingshu, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, asks to see you."

Qian Qingshu is Wang Zhenwen's confidant Nangong Qianrou looked at Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan waved his hand: "No, let him go back."

The official bowed and saluted: "Yes."

"Father?" Nangong Qian said softly, did the father choose to stand on the sidelines in the end?

"It doesn't make sense for me to make a move."

Wei Yuan smiled and said, "This favor should be reserved for the right person."

Nangong Qianrou didn't understand, but she didn't ask. After getting along for so many years, he got used to his adoptive father's language style.

"You go out first." Wei Yuan said suddenly.

After Nangong Qianrou left, he took out a few envelopes, picked up a pen, and wrote.

The Imperial Palace, in Jingxiu Palace.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was eating iced plums, with a basin of ice cubes at his feet, enjoying the cool breeze fanned by the maid, but his expression was not at all relaxed, and he said:

"I persuaded Wang Shoufu that day, don't compete with your father, don't go with Wei Yuan, but he doesn't listen. Now it's good, father is going to punish him."

The prince and Wang Shoufu did not have much intersection, but in the royal party, many people were unswerving princelings.

If Wang Zhenwen falls, these people will also be implicated, weakening the prince's influence in the court in a disguised form.

Concubine Chen and Lin'an were listening, both a little worried. Since the year of Jingcha, the crown prince's position has been swaying from side to side, and he couldn't sit still.

Concubine Chen frowned and said, "What's Wei Yuan's attitude?"

The prince said in a deep voice: "Qian Qingshu, a scholar of the Hall of Martial Arts, went to pay a visit to Wei Yuan this morning, but he didn't see anyone."

Concubine Chen's face was full of sadness: "Wei Yuan and Wang Shoufu are political enemies, and I'm afraid they are waiting to make trouble."

The prince looked at his younger sister and said, "Lin'an, isn't Xu Qi'an your confidant? He is someone Wei Yuan relies heavily on. Why don't you try to break through from him?"

Lin'an was sitting on a soft bed, wearing a gorgeous red dress and a golden hair crown. She had a round oval face with beautiful lines and peach blossom eyes that were charming and watery.

When silent, like a delicate and flawless jade beauty.

"He hasn't seen me for a long time"

Lin'an's face was gloomy, and he whispered.

After the Chuzhou massacre case, more than half a month has passed, Xu Ningyan has never looked for her, and Lin'an has never said anything, but she is sensitive in her heart and always feels that Xu Ningyan completely hates the royal family because of that incident.

He even hated her, so he deliberately alienated himself.

Thinking of their happy days before, Lin'an felt sore in his heart.

"It's simple. You quietly send someone to deliver a letter to Xu's residence and ask him to meet. If he agrees, it means that his thoughts are still with you." The prince suggested with a smile.

Concubine Chen added: "Remember to keep it secret, let the servants of Lin'an Mansion do it, don't send palace guards. Don't let your royal father know that you have any contact with Xu Qi'an."

Lin'an nodded his head vigorously, with an expression of apprehension and anticipation on his face: "I'll let someone do it."

At lunch time, Yuan Xiong, the censor of Zuodu, and Qin Yuandao, the servant of the Ministry of War, entered a restaurant in the inner city.

There are also several officials from the same camp.

There is a one-hour break for lunch. The canteens in the yamen of the capital are notoriously unpalatable. The clear soup is not too watery, but big fish and meat are out of the question.

Except for low-level officials who dined in dining halls, high-ranking officials all went to restaurants.

Yuan Xiong raised his teacup and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Qin Shilang first, he is expected to enter the cabinet."
