LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 150 The accounts must be settled one by one
The moonlight was bright at night, and Ji Ling walked to Prince Ming's Mansion under the moonlight.
Ji Mo was sitting alone in the room drinking wine. Several wine jars on the table were already empty.
The smell of wine filled the room.
The servants were all dismissed. When Ji Ling walked into the room, Ji Mo was already half drunk, leaning on the wide couch in front of the screen.
Ji Ling walked over and helped him pack away the wine jars, then sat aside and said in a calm voice, "Only the cowardly and incompetent need to get drunk to escape their predicaments."
Ji Mo glanced at him drunkenly and sneered: "I am weak and incompetent, what about you? Do you have a way to solve this predicament?"
"We all know what the regent is planning, but his reasons are very good. Even if you and I are unwilling, what can we do?" Ji Ling picked up the wine jar and poured herself a bowl of wine, "Yong Guo He is in charge of most of the troops, and he has the final say on all matters related to the war. Who dares to go against him? "
If you don't follow the imperial edict, you can still accuse him of "disobeying the edict", but now the regent is in charge of the court, and the emperor is in a state of being deposed. As long as the Yong Kingdom is still fighting, Ji Yucang will still be the one commanding thousands of troops. The person in charge of the horse is so high that no one dares to disobey him.
"He has been avoiding the matter of re-establishing the emperor." Ji Mo threw the wine jar on the table. "He kept fighting, trying to establish his irreversible prestige. When his military exploits became more and more powerful, his power became more and more powerful. It would be more logical for him to establish himself as emperor. Who in the civil and military dynasties would dare to oppose him? "
This has been the case since time immemorial.
In peacetime, the world is ruled by civil servants, and the status of generals is low. But once a war breaks out, the status of military generals soars. The fate of the country is all tied to the army. If the army can protect the borders, the civil servants in the DPRK and China can still have a say.
But once the army loses battles one after another...
Of course, Ji Yucang has not lost a battle so far.
But this still cannot deny the importance of generals in wartime.
"If it doesn't work, let's give up. We can't compete with him anyway." Ji Mo took another sip of wine, "Besides, take a step back and think about it. With him here, at least no one dares to question the power of Yong Kingdom."
Ji Ling turned her head and looked at him in surprise, speechless for a moment because she was not sure whether what he said was drunk or the truth.
If he really thought so, why would he drink alone?
However, Ji Ling knew in her heart that no matter what Ji Mo said was the truth or drunken talk, it would not change the overall situation.
What's more, even if the regent is really willing to establish a new emperor, the three brothers will still have to fight to the death. How can they sit here and chat about their inner thoughts?
Ji Ling nodded slowly: "It doesn't matter. Rather than being wiped out in one fell swoop, I can at least leave two bloodlines for my father while alive."
They are so naive.
They thought that Ji Yucang and Ji Jin could fight to the death, but in fact Ji Jin didn't even have a chance to fight back.
They thought that after Ji Jin was deposed, they would have a chance, but Ji Yucang never even considered them.
Ji Ling sneered in her heart.
But yes, it doesn't matter what they want. They have no official positions in the court, no fiefdom, and no military power. How can they fight for the throne?
Just relying on the blood of the former emperor?
Even if he sits on the throne of God, he may still end up in the same puppet situation as Ji Jin.
Keeping a low profile?
Holding back and planning?
What a joke.
…
After Shen Ning rode her horse back from the military camp, she heard about Ji Yucang's order to attack Mobei. She was surprised for a while, but also felt it was reasonable.
The Feifeng Army is stepping up its training. These 10,000 men were once elites. Ji Yucang recently selected some elite soldiers with good physical fitness and keen reflexes from other armies to join the Feifeng Army.
According to the original plan, after a year of training according to the standards of elite cavalry, and then equipped with the most sophisticated horses and weapons, it would not be a problem to deal with the Western Zhou Dynasty.
These days, under Ji Yucang's arrangement, the Feifeng Army has become more and more accepting of Shen Ning. They vaguely know that the death of Princess Zhaohua was related to the Western Zhou Dynasty. It was the Western Zhou Dynasty that prophesied that if Princess Zhaohua did not die, , Emperor Nanzhao's throne was not guaranteed.
Therefore, the death of Princess Zhaohua was not just as simple as it seemed. Han Xun was the executor, Yan Yunshuo was the mastermind behind it, and the Western Zhou royal family was the instigator.
Taking advantage of the fermentation of this fact, Shen Ning aroused the Feifeng Army's nostalgia and resentment for Princess Zhaohua, aroused hatred towards the Western Zhou Dynasty, and promised them that as long as their combat effectiveness increased to the level required by the regent, Shen Ning would lead them to attack In the Western Zhou Dynasty, in order to avenge the plot against Princess Zhaohua.
In addition, Shen Ning's cloud-penetrating arrow is unparalleled. She is almost exactly the same as the Princess Zhaohua back then. People can't help but suspect that she is the incarnation of Princess Zhaohua. During these days of training, Shen Ning's training methods and The way she handles things is very similar to the former Princess Zhaohua.
The son of Feifeng Army gradually lost his hostility, and in the day after day of training and the familiar familiarity, he couldn't help but become friendly with Shen Ning.
This made Shen Ning calm and relieved.
Returning to the Prince Regent's Palace, Shen Ning took off her military uniform and put on a casual skirt. She stood in front of the window in silence for a long time until she heard footsteps behind her.
Ji Yucang walked up to her: "What are you thinking about?"
Shen Ning turned to look at him: "Are there many things you haven't told me?"
"for example?"
"Things about the Western Zhou Dynasty." Shen Ning said, "There has been a rumor among the Japanese army in the past few days, saying that the death of Princess Zhaohua was related to the Western Zhou Dynasty."
"I released it deliberately to arouse the hostility of the Feifeng Army and transform their resentment towards the destruction of Nanzhao Kingdom."
"Does Western Zhou have anything to do with this?"
Ji Yucang was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Yes."
"Why didn't you tell me before?"
"Enemies have to be dealt with one by one, biting off more than they can chew." Ji Yucang raised his hand and touched her head, "Nan Zhao destroyed the country, and you found the former Feifeng Army subordinates. After training, they have strong combat effectiveness. Wouldn’t it be more logical to seek revenge against the enemy?”
Shen Ning looked at him steadily: "So you say you want to be the overlord of the world, but your real purpose is revenge?"
"In the name of revenge, we can achieve our goal of becoming the overlord of the world." Ji Yucang smiled, "Don't you think this is bad?"
Shen Ning thought, there is nothing wrong with this.
But Ji Yucang obviously had something unsaid in his heart.
After Yan Yunshuo and Han Xun were killed, she actually had no hatred in her heart. After all, the people who really betrayed and harmed her were the people she was closest to. How other countries sow discord was not what she cared about most.
Because most of the time, countries have an antagonistic relationship with each other.
Just like the life-and-death factional struggle in the court, the prerequisite for fighting for interests is to kill the opponent, and there are many ways to kill the opponent, including conspiracy, sowing discord, assassination, calculation...
If the Western Zhou Dynasty wanted to deal with Nan Zhao, it would naturally have to find a way to get rid of the people in Nan Zhao who could lead the army.
As the king of a country, Yan Yunshuo was willing to believe other countries' alienation schemes but not his own sister. This was the main reason for the tragic death of Princess Zhaohua, and it was also the most unforgivable point in this hatred.
"I know you don't hate, but I do." Ji Yucang put his arm around her shoulders and looked out the window at the night scene together. "I will not let go of anyone who participated in murdering you. The accounts must be settled one by one, and the country needs one." "Destroyed."
Don't be anxious, whatever is supposed to come will come.
