Going through the Red Mansions quickly means going against the system.

Shui Rong thought carefully about the sand table.

"Now my father-in-law has taken the initiative to help the royal family and spent a lot of money. I originally thought this method was good and saved the lives of the whole family. But now that I look at it... it is a risky move."

"There is no solution to this matter..."

Xue Pan knew that it was the Zhen family that contributed to the military expenses.

Since his father's death, the family's business has been handled by the stewards and shopkeepers.

He was too young. Not long after Ding You came out three years ago, he was forced out of his hometown by Feng Yuan's incident.

As for his family's business in Jinling, except for the part controlled by the family, everything else fell into the hands of the Zhen family, a local snake in Jinling.

Looking back now, it seems that the Zhen family was playing tricks on Feng Yuan when he dared to sue him.

Xue Pan was squeezed out. In recent years, something happened to his second uncle's family. As a result, the Xue family's properties in Jiangnan collapsed.

Coupled with civil uprisings, bandits continued everywhere. The Xue family's fields in Jiangnan were also hit by disasters, and they have been losing money in the past two years.

Therefore, the Xue family has reduced its land area and closed several shops. When Xue Biao's father dies again, their Xue family's property will cease to exist.

Shui Rong originally didn't want to get a solution from Xue Pan.

He discussed it with several advisers. From the beginning, the Zhen family was a predator raised by the Supreme Emperor in Jiangnan.

Even if the Zhen family didn't take the initiative to share the royal family's worries, the Supreme Emperor would still find a way to get the emperor to take action against the Zhen family.

It's a pity that the wife he just married doesn't do him any favors!

"unless……"

"Huh? If you fart, let it go! How can you pay it back to your mother-in-law and mother-in-law?"

Seeing that things were turning around, Shui Rong was also curious about Xue Pan's plan.

Xue Pan looked around and saw that everyone else was far away from them, so he leaned into Shui Rong's ear and said, "Unless you can do something."

"what can I do?"

Water-soluble only thinks that Xue Pan is making a fool of himself.

"It really needs an adult to do this."

The money is spent, and it definitely depends on where the money is spent.

Now the soldiers will be those raised by the old King Beijing in the fiefdom, and the one supervising the battle is Xue Pan's uncle Wang Ziteng.

Since the war has reached this point, it shows that the momentum of the two sides is quite different.

In this case, the two sides can only stalemate, unless one side can defeat the other side quickly.

"Sir, do you like winning or losing now?"

Although Xue Pan can now control the demonic energy, he is still affected and does not take human life seriously.

In his eyes, the suffering people outside are really just like vegetation. Although he knew that losing the battle would definitely allow the foreigners to cross the border and go south, Xue Pan still came up with a vicious plan in order to make Shui Rong become the prince one day earlier.

"The prince asked people to release water at Shanhaiguan to lure the aliens from the north to the capital..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Shui Rong agreed with what Xue Pan said before, to make the war bigger, and you and I to come and go to create a dilemma, but he would never allow himself to be a traitor and directly let the foreigners go south.

“How can you win without losing a big one?”

Xue Pan actually wanted to force Shui Rong to rebel, but Shui Rong, the old king of Beijing, chose to lie dormant, so he would not rebel at this juncture.

But in Xue Pan's view, this war was too consuming.

Since the power gap between the two parties is not big, they must fight with twelve points of spirit.

The aliens in the north can fight guerrillas, and they fight to plunder things that protect their lives. They will advance by leaps and bounds and fight hard for the lives of their children and individuals.

On the court's side, it was an offensive and defensive battle.

In order to prevent foreigners from attacking the imperial court, Prince Tengdu led the governors to put their troops in the Shanhaiguan area.

Yun Guang, the governor of Ping'an Prefecture, and Fatty Feng, the governor of Yongxing, both lacked money and people. Now they rely on "cheating and abduction" to earn military expenses, and they are still persisting...

From this point of view, it is better to lose a big game and ask the emperor to stop the construction of the imperial tomb and the emperor to stop the draft.

If they can move to the palace and return to Jinling together, the life of the dynasty can be extended a little longer.

The problem in the court now is that the emperor's elite are out fighting to death, and they are very exhausted. Internal factions are constantly fighting and plotting against each other.

When the emperor ran out of money, he couldn't help squeezing money out of "donkey shit eggs" like the Jia family. After this life, there was really no hope.

Xue Pan wanted to save the Jia family and the court from his previous life, but he failed in his previous life, and now he still wants to try.

"The dynasty has been at peace for a long time, and many people no longer know what war is like."

Isn't it because they only understand "involution" and can't see that the country's elites cannot withstand such consumption?

"You mean?"

Shui Rong thought for a moment. Indeed, counting from the emperor, how many people have not experienced war?

As the prince's successor, he has also seen fighting on the battlefield.

But so much time has passed, and apart from remembering that people will die and that human beings are insignificant, he does not take the honor and disgrace of the country seriously.

They all seemed to be holding on to luck, hoping that with the blessing of the gods, the aliens would be able to destroy themselves without them having to expend energy and effort.

"The Zhen family must regret it now, but until the war is over in one day, they will have no energy to care about other things."

"Besides, the Zhen family is not at peace either. The old concubine only cares about the direct branch, and she only likes Mr. Zhen. But the third and fourth masters of the side branch are also old, and they should be willing to branch out."

"As long as one person stabs them in the back, the Zhen family will definitely fall apart. If the royal family feels that they are useless and doesn't cherish them anymore, the only thing waiting for the Zhen family will be that their homes will be ransacked."

"Then the royal family will clean up the mess and have money to support it for a while. The more they bet on the war, the more it will drag the whole body down and prevent it from moving forward."

"If you want to benefit the country, you should give the war a shot and let them breathe."

Shui Rong looked up at the sky. He couldn't make the decision at the moment.

Because it is indeed easy to let someone in, but if something goes wrong, he will be a sinner.

"Once the war breaks out, it won't be possible to win a championship within three to five years."

"Unless you have originally planned to retain your strength, you will change your identity and make a comeback after the imperial court turns your body into a cripple. Anyway, being a prince is not the right thing to do..."

"You doubt me!"

Shui Rong suddenly looked at Xue Pan and saw that he still had a sticky face and a fleshy and flattering smile, as if the words he just said did not come from his mouth.

Shui Rong shivered hard.

"You use this to pressure me..."

"No, sir, you misunderstood. I chose you for the future. If you are ambitious, I will naturally be more happy. After all, if you count, there is no greater merit than the merit of Conglong? I want to honor my ancestors, this That’s the best way out.”

"My family didn't dare to make any bets, so my family was at the bottom. Now that I'm optimistic about you, I naturally think that you have unlimited possibilities... I'm waiting for the lord to choose the best way!"
