"The six countries are unified? Ha, ha ha... ha ha ha!" Ning Weiyuan laughed, "Second brother, with Da Qi's power, do you want the entire continent to obey your orders?"
Ning Qianshi didn't smile.
He just stared at his eldest brother quietly until his laughter subsided little by little.
The prince realized something was wrong. Apart from capturing one city after another, the Gaoguo army on the border did not seem to have any news of plundering. There is also the Xu Guo heavy cavalry who disappeared for a long time and suddenly appeared in the capital. They have no baggage and no backup. They can operate covertly in a foreign land. In addition to being supported by people within the country, their own restraint and prohibition are also very important conditions.
The question is, why would an aggressive enemy restrain itself
"Brother, of course they are not following my orders. They are all following the orders of their respective Privy Councils." The second prince told him frankly, "Besides, this is not a plan for the future. After the annexation of Qi State, this puzzle will be solved." Eighty percent has been completed. The last piece is Maoguo, and now the troops of Fengguo and Taiguo are performing their tasks there - just like what happened in Qiguo."
"This... how is this possible!?" Ning Weiyuan said dumbfounded, "When did this matter start?"
"The specific action was taken decades ago, but when the idea came up, it should be shortly after the fall of the Yong Dynasty and the pacification of evil spirits everywhere."
"Ridiculous, you weren't even born yet!"
"This plan naturally did not originate from me. In fact, when I came into contact with it, it had been secretly advancing for a long time."
If we were to say surprised, Xia Fan was no less surprised than Ning Weiyuan.
Although it is said that long-term division must unite, and long-term unity must divide, but soon after the disintegration of Yongguo, the alchemists began to conceive of the possibility of reunification, which shows that they all believed that unity would be better. That being the case, why did they choose to help these first-generation monarchs fight against King Yong in the first place
In the past, when the Listeners were in power, half of the people sitting in the court were Qi Sensers. Even if King Yong was tyrannical, it would still be better than not having access to government affairs now.
"Does father know about this?" The prince gritted his teeth.
"Before the Wanjinglou incident, he only knew part of the inside story - such as the existence of the Dao of Heaven in the world. That was also the most serious damage he committed to the Privy Council. After that, the Privy Council eliminated internal opponents, and I was also the one at that time. He began to take over the affairs of the Privy Council." Ning Qianshi lowered his voice, "My father fell into despair after a fall. Although we thought about using the aristocratic family to fight against the Privy Council, for us, the aristocratic family itself is a part that needs to be banned. His little petty The mind is not enough to worry about.”
"Why, he is your biological father!" Ning Weiyuan yelled.
Ning Qianshi sighed, "Brother, when you and the Ambassador of the Islands Country, Olina Okan, used the command method against my father, did you regard him as your father? More importantly, I believe that I am walking on the right path. superior."
"Hmph, everyone will find a good reason for themselves before doing something wrong." The prince sneered.
The second prince did not refute him, but turned to look at Xia Fan, "I wonder what you think of today's ambassador to the Islands?"
What do you think
Xia Fan thought for a moment, and based on his first impression, apart from being a little dazed, the rest was that he was strong.
After all, in order to deal with her, the Privy Council's Qing Jian Yuyi sent many troops, and their formation was probably no less impressive than that against the listener.
"A tough opponent," he replied.
"Yes, and she is just an ambassador." Ning Qianshi took a breath, "What if I said that the high-ranking nobles in the West Pole have similar strength?"
As soon as these words came out, even Yan Qing and others looked surprised.
"Your Highness, are you sure?"
"I remember not only Daqi, but also these overseas countries sent more than one ambassador to the Central Plains, right?"
“Do they have so much talent that they have no place to use it?”
Ning Qianshi waved his hand, "This is also the information I just learned. The situation in the West Pole has changed tremendously from a hundred years ago, so that our true understanding of them is actually very limited. For example, the Holy Wing Islands Kingdom, in Yongchao When it was prosperous, it was just an oddity, but now it has become the dominant force in the West Pole."
"There are still ongoing battles there, but judging from the fact that they have begun to have the energy to send envoys to the mainland, I guess it won't be long before the countries in the West Pole reach a new balance. By then, this area will become a new point of confrontation. —Whether you like it or not, this is the inevitable trend of the times."
When he said this, Ning Qianshi's eyes kept falling on Xia Fan.
"Isn't this something that everyone has known for a long time?"
"We are here to fight against them."
Xia Fan realized that the second prince was explaining specifically to him.
"There are two things that are certain about the current information - first, their rapid rise is no accident, and the "gods" aspect is of great importance. Second, through the connection with "gods", most of their Qi sensers do not need to be highly advanced to perform magical arts. As for the demons who are superiors, this is even more true. It is precisely because of this that they have become an opponent that cannot be underestimated in decades. "
"The superiors in the West are all demons?" Xia Fan asked.
"There may be some exceptions, but the vast majority are. These monsters are centered around families and constitute the aristocratic class of the countries in the West." Ning Qianshi spread his hands and said, "Now you understand the situation facing the Central Plains Continent, right? ? On one side are the unfamiliar ethnic groups that are constantly expanding and becoming increasingly powerful, and on the other side are the continental countries that are divided into six parts and have their own affairs. This is why the Privy Council must work together to resist the crises that may come in the future. For us In other words, if we divide, we will die, if we gather, we will live!”
Having said this, he looked at Ning Weiyuan, "Now do you understand why I chose the Privy Council Palace instead of the dragon chair in the Hall of Supreme Harmony?"
"Ha, you are the winner, so of course you can say whatever you want." The prince clenched his fists, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he picked up the bowl of black tea on the table.
But before he could drink it, Yan Qing had already thrown out the chain in his hand and smashed the bowl into pieces.
Tea spilled over half of Ning Weiyuan's body.
After he was stunned for a moment, he suddenly showed an extremely angry expression, "Ning Qianshi! What do you mean? I don't want to pay attention to those big principles that the Privy Council talks about. You can say whatever you like. But even so, you still If you are not satisfied, do you still want to humiliate me further?"
"There is poison in the tea, right?" Ning Qianshi sighed, "Why is this necessary? Whether it is father or you, I don't want to harm your lives."
"Then put us under house arrest in a place where we will never see the sun for a lifetime, and have to accept your humiliation from time to time?" Ning Weiyuan yelled, "Even if I lose to you, don't expect me to beg for mercy!"
"How could it be, brother?" Ning Qianshi said word by word, "I promised before that I would help you ascend to the throne, and I have not changed my mind until now."
"What did you say-" Ning Wei opened his mouth wide and his eyes were full of disbelief.
"The secular world still needs a stable person in power to meet the needs of the people. Your succession can help the Privy Council quickly stabilize the situation. At least until everyone accepts the truth, the emperor is still necessary." Ning Qianshi patted the other party. Wet clothes, "As for us... we no longer select a single king from within the palace, but the Six Nations and Seven Stars discuss matters together. This is the biggest lesson the Privy Council has learned in the past hundred years."
