Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 537;

"Qiu Shuang, send a letter to Gu Jian, asking him to temporarily put aside everything he has done to the Han family, and then he can return to the villa without any mistakes."

Qiushuang also retreated.

At the same time, on the other side of the capital, Lord Zhen Guo was also ready to go, and a large group of people left the capital and headed north.

"The Lord of the Town is smart. He knew that staying in the capital would not do any good, so he simply avoided going out."

"I underestimated him. In the next period of time, His Highness King Ning should be more careful."

In the crowd, Mr. Zhou beside Ning Wang lowered his voice.

After the court was dismissed yesterday, King Ning returned to the palace and told the story of the morning court. Mr. Zhou immediately complained that it was not good, it was a trick.

At that time, King Ning hadn't reacted yet, thinking that he had won the battle.

But after Mr. Zhou's analysis, King Ning's mood was as if he had eaten a fly.

Originally in the capital, they were fighting against each other, and both were the targets of Emperor Hongwen.

Now that he has run away, and he holds the military power in the key areas of Gyeonggi, Emperor Hongwen is afraid that he will directly target him.

"Sir, is there a way to resolve it?"

Mr. Zhou pondered for a moment and shook his head, "If His Highness wants to keep the military power, it is absolutely impossible."

"If you want to be safe, Your Highness should give up the military power in Gyeonggi, so that you can be adaptable in the future because of your own safety."

Hearing this, King Ning remained silent and gave up telling the truth. He was definitely not willing, nor did he want to.

How could he be reconciled to giving up just like that after he finally gained some strength.

But as far as going first, it doesn't seem to work if you don't give up.

If he really faced Emperor Hongwen, he might lose his military power in the end, and he might not have another chance with that seat.

"You can only get something if you give it up. If you sell it well, the emperor may still remember you in his heart, right?"

"Of course, this is just my suggestion. Your Highness can go and discuss it with the empress."

"Mister is my king's heart, this king is very clear, but this king is so unwilling."

King Ning also knew that Mr. Zhou asked him to do this for his own good.

"There's nothing reconciled to it. In fact, from the very beginning, the emperor asked His Highness to obtain this thing."

"In the original situation, as long as the military power does not continue to be in the hands of Lord Zhen Guo, it will be a victory for the emperor, so it is best for you to come out."

"This time is different from the past, Duke Zhen has begun to weaken, and the emperor has to take back some things."

"Rather than letting him take the initiative to ask for it, it is better for His Highness to send it up, at least it can leave a good impression on the emperor."

"Besides, the emperor is now in his prime, and no one knows how many years are left in the future, nor how Dongzhou will change in the future. His Highness doesn't need to lose future opportunities because of gains and losses at this moment."

As Mr. Zhou's words fell, King Ning nodded. It is true that Emperor Hongwen is only 40 years old now, and there are still many years in the future. Who can say clearly what will happen in the future.

There is no need to completely lose his weight in his heart for the sake of the current gains and losses.

However, although he had already made a decision, he did not express it to Mr. Zhou.

Instead, shortly after returning to the capital, he entered the palace.

In Fengqi Palace, he told the queen what Mr. Zhou analyzed in detail.

"Mr. Zhou is right. There is really no need for Huang'er to cut off his future path because of temporary unwillingness."

"The military power in the capital city must always be handed over. If you don't hand it over, the emperor will always be on guard against you. It's better to hand it over."

"Therefore, the light turns to the dark, and the courtiers are secretly wooed. In this world, not only military power is needed, but also the support of civil servants."

"Also, the relationship with Lu Yaoyao needs to be improved. She is no longer the humble abandoned girl she was back then."

"If my son can get her support, that seat will definitely be yours."

King Ning nodded repeatedly.

"By the way, there is one more thing. Your side concubine should also pay more attention. She seems to have had some unpleasantness with Lu Yaoyao. Don't let her die of necrosis."

"A Xirong is not as important as Lu Yaoyao."

"Don't worry, queen mother, these sons and ministers understand."

"As for your uncle, since the relationship has been cleared, that's fine. Your uncle is a very ambitious person. He might be able to succeed in the past, but it's hard to say now. It's not bad for you and your mother to make a clear relationship. Not a good thing."

The current King Ning has no affection for Duke Zhen.

There is even some resentment, if it is not because of his design, his military power in Gyeonggi would not be lost.

Moreover, with such a fierce confrontation in the front, it may not be easy to restore the relationship.

It's better to let it go like this.

After leaving Fengqi Palace, King Ning first returned to the palace, and discussed with Mr. Zhou how to hand over the military power.

Three days later, King Ning asked to see Emperor Hongwen alone, and returned the military power of the two camps in Gyeonggi to Emperor Hongwen on the grounds that he planned to take care of the papermaking and printing.

"Paper making and printing is indeed the most important thing, especially now that the wind of mathematics is on the rise, and many places need mathematics textbooks. If you do this well, it will be of great benefit to you."

"I don't ask for any benefits, I just hope that I can do my part for the people of Dongzhou."

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen nodded in satisfaction, praised King Ning again, and then explained how he would do the printing well.

And also arranged for him to be in charge of some things at the Ministry of Rites.

Although it was only the Ministry of Rites, for King Ning, it was considered entering the imperial court, which would be more convenient for him to win over courtiers in the future.

The military power was handed over, but the things in exchange were not too bad.

If the papermaking and printing are done well, they can also accumulate some reputation in the circle of scholars. If they can get some support, it will be much better than the hot potato like military power.

"Your servant must do his best."

Emperor Hongwen smiled and nodded.

After King Ning withdrew, the smile on Emperor Hongwen's face disappeared immediately.

"It's really not easy. I finally have all the land of Gyeonggi in my hands."

"The next step is to eradicate some of the forces left by Duke Zhen in the capital. I want to hold the entire capital in my hands."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, but the old slave feels that we should not rush for a while. We have won enough victories during this period of time. The more this is the case, the more we must be steady."

Emperor Hongwen nodded repeatedly.

"I'm just talking about it. It's not now to move those guys. At least we have to wait for the situation in the north to stabilize."

"By the way, you ask Huo Di to arrange some people to watch outside Chengyuan Villa, so as not to disturb the people inside."

Wang De nodded and stepped back. On that day, there were fifty or sixty secret guards around Chengyuan Villa.

"The emperor really attaches great importance to the young lady. Look at how many masters are sent here to protect her."
