Please call me Your Majesty!

Chapter 11 Chu Shizhao’s potential!

Chu Shizhao wrote a letter to Li Fengning.

In fact, I never considered that the other party would actually come over.

Because Li Fengning's roots are in Jinyang, and Li Fengning was only married to Chu Shizhao in name.

So the relationship between the two of them is very delicate.

You say they are a couple, but they are actually quite "restrained", just like a temporary couple for the sake of profit.

There was no transgression of etiquette.

This also made Chu Shizhao unable to understand why the other party would decide to leave Jinyang. In his opinion, this should be Li Fengning's comfort zone.

It's totally not worth it to come to him.

In Jinyang, Li Fengning, with the support of the Li family's background, is completely a superior person.

Although I don’t know what Li Fengning’s purpose is.

But at least Chu Shizhao could sense that the other party was coming with troops, and it was obviously not as simple as he thought.

However, Chu Shizhao would not be so self-indulgent as to think that Li Fengning came here because of her letter.

After all, in the [Emperor Growth Plan], its simulation function is based on the real personality of each role and character, and simulates and deduces according to different situations.

[In March of the 33rd year of the Yongjin reign, Li Fengning brought more than 3,000 Jinyang armored soldiers to Fanyang.]

[After much thought, you gave Li Fengning enough face and specially prepared a room for Li Fengning in the general's mansion in Fanyang, and you still maintained your previous demeanor.]

[In April of the 33rd year of the Yongjin reign, you changed the name of Fanyang to Beiping.]

[You triggered a new interactive plot——]

[On the night of April 7, the 33rd year of the Yongjin era, Li Fengning was admiring the moon in the courtyard of the general's mansion. Her eyes, as sharp as arrows, were fixed directly on you.]

[“Your Highness, Prince Jin, you have been training soldiers day and night these days, setting up battle formations and waiting for battle. What is the purpose of this?”]

[“Just to save myself.” You put your hands behind your back. ]

[“Just to save yourself, you dared to borrow troops from the governor of Datong alone. Just to save yourself, you dared to use the borrowed troops to attack Fanyang from a long distance, so that Ma Suan caught fire from behind and was defeated under the pressure of the pincer attack. Just to save yourself, why would you hide your strength here?” Li Fengning chuckled, “Is this how Your Highness saves himself?”]

[“Now that the people of Fanyang have settled their minds, Your Highness has renamed this place Beiping. What’s your intention?”]

Chu Shizhao looked at you and said, "Don't you think that the power of the four governors in the north is too great?"

[Li Fengning hesitated for a moment and said, "My father will definitely not raise an army to rebel."]

When Li Fengning saw this line of words, her face turned slightly red.

Strictly speaking, the Li family did commit treason, but on the surface they did not openly resist the regime of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

It simply annexed the surrounding forces, was no longer subject to the imperial court, and no longer paid taxes to the court.

[“It doesn’t matter whether they will rebel or not. What matters is that these Jiedushis in the north have the ability to rebel.”]

[“In the future, if the imperial court is in chaos, won’t these people rebel?”]

Li Fengning had to admit that what Chu Shizhao said was right.

But after thinking for a while, Li Fengning suddenly realized that Chu Shizhao was also a dishonest person, because he himself did such a thing! Soon, Li Fengning realized that he was thinking about something stupid.

Do unto others, do not impose on others.

If you really want to save yourself, it would be even more foolish not to train soldiers, not to store food, and just wait for others to attack you and then give away your own head.

[“Then what exactly are you planning, Your Highness?” Li Fengning thought for a while before speaking.]

[“The world is at peace.” Chu Shizhao flicked his sleeves and left the courtyard.]

[In May of the 33rd year of the Yongjin reign, the Yongjin Emperor suddenly fell ill and the imperial physicians were unable to save him. The court and the public were greatly shocked.]

[In June of the 33rd year of Yongjin, the rebels began a large-scale counterattack, and Lu En, who was at the front line, was under great pressure.]

[On June 7, the 33rd year of the Yongjin reign, the Yongjin Emperor passed away. On the day of his death, he left a will stating that the successor to the throne would be the Crown Prince Chu Shixu.]

[Crown Prince Chu Shixu was eager to deal with the late emperor's affairs and decide on the successor title and temple name, but ignored the tense war on the front line.]

[In July of the 33rd year of the Yongjin reign, Lu En was defeated in Shouchun, and the power of the rebel army was expanded. He requested assistance from the imperial court.]

[On July 9, the 33rd year of the Yongjin reign, the Minister of Revenue Chen Bixuan and the Minister of War Wang Shao impeached General Zhengdong and Governor-General of the Southeast Lu En for holding his troops in high esteem and being lazy in fighting.]

[In August of the 33rd year of the Yongjin reign, Lu En, the General of the Eastern Expedition and the Governor-General of the Southeast, was successfully impeached. As he had not achieved any military success for a long time, the new emperor Chu Shixu mobilized troops and sent Lu En back to the capital, appointing Xu Shou as the new Governor-General of the Southeast to fight against the southern rebels.]

[In September of the 33rd year of the Yongjin reign, the rebel army had already gained momentum, and the government troops were at a disadvantage after many battles. Xu Shou fought in succession, but lost more than he won.]

[Under the circumstances, the new emperor Chu Shixu had no choice but to send Lu En, who was familiar with the righteous army's military tactics, to help again. ]

[In October of the 33rd year of the Yongjin reign, Xu Shou's army was badly defeated, leaving many gates in the south wide open, and Nanjing was captured by the rebel army.]

[In November of the 33rd year of the Yongjin reign, the leader of the rebel army, Wang Shouyi, was killed by a stray arrow, which led to another rebel army led by Song Xun gradually gaining new initiative.]

[After Nanjing was occupied by the rebel army led by Song Xun, Song Xun proclaimed himself emperor in Nanjing, which is known in history as "Song Wu". ]

【Ever since the Great Zhou Dynasty fell into a state of division between the north and the south. 】

[In December of the 33rd year of Yongjin, the new emperor Chu Shixu officially ascended the throne and changed the reign title to Kangxing.]

[In March of the first year of Kangxing, the newly enthroned emperor Chu Shixu had been overwhelmed by the long-standing political affairs, and his energy was declining day by day. So an alchemist presented him with a red pill, which could nourish the body and make people energetic.]

[On March 7, the first year of Kangxing, the emperor Chu Shixu, who had taken the red pill, was indeed full of energy. He began to deal with major issues in the country and dispatched military governors from many places in the north to the south to fight against the traitor who had proclaimed himself emperor.]

[On March 15th of the first year of Kangxing, Emperor Kangxing Chu Shixu died suddenly overnight without a child. From then on, the second prince of Emperor Yongjin, Prince of Wei Chu Shiren, once again succeeded to the throne of the Great Zhou Dynasty.]

[The successive unfavorable wars caused people in several places in the north to change their minds, and most of them were unwilling to obey the orders of the court.]

[In April of the first year of Kangxing, Xu Hao, the governor of Datong, was killed by an assassin. Not long after, Yang Zhuting, the general who had the most support from the soldiers in Datong, took over the post of governor of Datong.]

[In May of the first year of Kangxing, Yang Zhuting, the governor of Datong, pledged his loyalty to Chu Shizhao, the governor of Beiping and the Prince of Jin.]

[Yang Zhuting once followed Jin Wang Chu Shizhao to attack Fanyang in September of the 31st year of Yongjin. He was attracted by Chu Shizhao's bravery and decisiveness. At the same time, with Chu Shizhao's secret help, he lay dormant in Datong for several years.]

【Xu Hao's death was not caused by the so-called assassins, but a mutiny jointly chosen by the Datong generals. They knew that Xu Hao's personality was changeable, and it was inevitable that he would have different intentions under the state of military remonstration. Only death could solve the problem once and for all.】

[In June of the first year of Kangxing, when the flag was changed in Datong, Li Jin, the governor of Jinyang, felt the pressure and didn't know what to do.]

[In July of the first year of Kangxing, Chu Shizhao and Jin Wangfei Li Fengning talked, and Li Fengning decided to act as an envoy to lobby her father on behalf of Chu Shizhao.]
