"Weird?"
"Your Majesty, these words are very heartbreaking!"
"Is it possible that you are suspicious of His Majesty King Yong and are plotting against His Majesty?"
Zhuge Liang's eyes were extremely sharp, and when he looked at the censor, his face was cold, his tone was high, and his expression was somewhat scrutinizing.
"Master Zhuge's words are serious, but I have no such intention."
"It's just that now, when such a situation occurs, not only Xianguan, but also all civil and military officials in the court are under suspicion. Xiaguan, as the censor, has the power to supervise all officials, so this question arises."
The censor seemed to have noticed a trace of dangerous aura starting to spread from him, and his tone suddenly softened a lot, and he looked at Zhuge Liang with a somewhat apologetic smile.
"Ahem!"
Lin Qiushi coughed slightly, and the censor glanced in his direction subconsciously, and hesitated slightly: "Your Highness, can I see your Majesty?"
"Yes, Your Highness, now I, Dayu, is in trouble internally and externally. Even if Your Majesty is ill, we should still pay him a visit!"
"Second brother, what the Censor said is true. In the morning, my father was fine. Why did you suddenly fall ill after seeing him?"
"Is there anything wrong with your soldiers inside and outside the palace?"
King Qi Lin also found the right opportunity to stand up, his words were aggressive, his eyes looked at Ning Fan unscrupulously, and he said coldly: "Whether it's public or private, I want to see my father. Please give me two invitations." It’s convenient, brother.”
Ning Fan glanced at him coldly and calmly, walked up to King Qi Lin, reached out and patted his face gently, then stretched out his left hand to hold King Qi Lin's cheek: "Old Third , This doesn’t have to be the case.”
"I know that you have doubts in your heart. You suspect that I am plotting against my father, or even intending to coerce and deceive you."
"But if I were you, I would never bark like this in court. If I really launched a palace coup, as you said, all the people in the imperial city are my people. When you say these words, do you think, Will I keep you?"
Ning Fan's tone was extremely calm, like an older and more sensible elder brother teaching his younger brother how to behave in the world.
"Emperor...Emperor brother!"
"you you……"
King Qi Lin pointed at Ning Fan and his lips began to tremble, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.
"Have you really... done something treasonous?"
"Look, it's so urgent!" Ning Fan's face showed a bit of disappointment, and he shook his head slightly: "Here, come, take King Qi Lin to the audience."
"promise!"
Two big men, Dian Wei and Xu Chu, came directly to King Qi Lin's side, stretched out their hands to lift his arms, and showed a grin on their faces: "Your Highness, please!"
"Second brother!"
"I was wrong...Second brother!"
"Don't kill me, I...I am willing to support you on the throne!"
King Qi Lin's eyes were filled with fear and he spoke without hesitation, but Ning Fan's expression suddenly turned cold and he slapped him in the face.
"Asshole!"
"Ning'an, as a descendant of the royal family, you are so rebellious!"
"What's your intention?"
Seeing Ning Fan's stern expression, not only Ning An became uneasy, but even the civil and military officials in the court felt dizzy, but no one dared to say a word.
Didn't you see those two burly men with fierce looks on their faces?
"Your Highness!"
Lin Qiushi finally came forward and bowed slightly: "His Royal Highness Qi Lin has no ill intentions, I am just worried about His Majesty's condition."
"Now, since His Majesty has promised His Highness to supervise the country, we must obey."
"However, His Majesty is ill, so we should go to the palace to visit him."
"Does the Prime Minister Zuo mean to enter the harem without permission?"
Lin Qiushi's face froze, but he did not retreat: "I would like to wait outside the palace, please come forward to see your majesty."
"That's what you mean too?"
Ning Fan looked around, and all the civil and military officials showed some hesitation. Shen Li sighed softly, stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, people in the imperial court are in panic now. Your Majesty's intervention can really calm people's hearts! "
"Um!"
Ning Fan nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Since all the adults are concerned about the safety of my father, I can understand it. After I ask my father for instructions, I will let you see me."
"So, thank you, Your Highness!"
The atmosphere above the court suddenly became extremely strange. They were whispering to each other but had nothing to say. Ning Fan walked up to the high platform step by step, stood beside the dragon chair, and said softly: "Everyone, foreign enemies are now raging in our territory, Dayu. The people are displaced, the war ahead is tense, and I am preparing to recruit new troops!"
"Recruiting soldiers?"
As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar in the court.
"Your Highness, you must not do this!"
"The turmoil has not yet stabilized, and the treasury is empty this year. The court cannot afford to recruit troops at this time!"
"Yes, there are no soldiers available in the capital now. If recruiting local warriors causes unrest, what should we do?"
"Your Highness, please think twice!"
Seeing the figures coming forward to stop them, Ning Fan smiled and said, "This matter is the result of discussions between this king and my father, and there is no need to discuss it further."
"Everyone, please step back!"
"Your Majesty, please leave!"
…
Royal study room.
Zhuge Liang, Shang Yang, Guo Jia and others gathered together. Everyone here is a direct descendant of Prince Yong's Mansion.
"Kong Ming, you immediately issue an order to take Wei Zheng back to the capital."
"promise!"
"Shang Jun, military reform will begin from now on."
"Lord, the war is not over yet. If we implement military reform at this time, will it..."
"It doesn't matter!" Ning Fan shook his head and said with a smile: "Today's war is not over yet, I guarantee it will be over tomorrow."
"yes!"
"Lord!" Guo Jia suddenly showed a look of concentration and slightly cupped his hands: "Now that the territory of the capital has been stabilized, Mobei will inevitably retreat to the north if it loses its troops and generals."
"Mobei's main army was frustrated in Changyan. Now, we are in a dilemma. We, Dayu, have no troops to guard the eastern border. If Mobei sends his troops to the eastern border..."
After hearing Guo Jia's words, not only Ning Fan frowned slightly, but Zhuge Liang, Shang Yang and others also looked thoughtful.
Guo Jia's worries are not unreasonable. This time, Mobei used nearly 700,000 troops to open the door of Dayu's country, but now it has suffered repeated setbacks.
If you just retreat, you will definitely not be willing to do so.
In fact, when Yu the Great regroups and strengthens the northern defense line, it will probably be even more difficult for them to open the door to Yu the Great again.
What if they take this opportunity to divert their troops to Donghuai and march eastward?
"My lord, the words of filial piety are not unreasonable!"
"Now the Dongying people are crossing the west to attack the Huaihe River. With the current national strength of the Donghuai River, if Mobei sends his troops to advance eastward at this time, it will be difficult to resist."
"Um……"
Ning Fan's eyes flashed with a sparkle, and he said solemnly: "Then don't give them a chance to march eastward!"
