You are asked to marry in place of the tyrant, and you allow the tyrant to send you to marry?

"Your Highness Prince Changning, you are too worried!

The Northern Kingdom is three times stronger than Loulan. If we use a little tricks, can we take it down? "

"If Loulan really dares to attack, then we in Daye will mobilize the whole country to conquer Loulan."

Zhang Xingguo still insisted on his own idea, his face full of smugness.

In his opinion, Loulan was really like an ant, very easy to control.

“Your Highness, the Regent, I also agree with Prime Minister Zhang’s proposal.

Loulan really can't be compared with our Daye, and now is a great opportunity to take over the Northern Kingdom with our strength."

"If Loulan really takes over the Northern Kingdom first, it will not be so easy for us to attack Loulan in the future."

"I second this motion~"

As soon as Zhang Xingguo finished speaking, Li Yi immediately echoed him.

Upon hearing this, no one among the civil and military officials objected anymore.

Now, Zhu Zhengxun was really anxious.

It seems that these people are eager for quick success.

They don't take the people of the world into consideration at all.

They also did not consider at all that once Daye and Loulan went to war, the people of the world would suffer the most.

"Absolutely not! The Northern Kingdom was finally conquered by us, and now we have withdrawn our troops. The world will not be at peace for long.

If we insist on sending troops again now and completely wipe out the Northern Kingdom’s nest, it will inevitably lead to another fierce war between the two countries..."

Even though he is weak now, Zhu Zhengxun cannot give up easily as long as he can still have a say.

However, before he finished speaking, Zhu Yajie interrupted him and sneered:

"So what? Sooner or later, the world will belong to Daye. The Northern Kingdom and Loulan are just ants. Why should we be afraid?"

Zhu Zhengxun could never have dreamed that Zhu Yajie, as the regent, was so eager to conquer the Northern Kingdom and Loulan.

He immediately lost his composure and raised his voice to respond:

"Once the two countries go to war, the people of the world will inevitably be forced to be homeless and displaced!

As the ancients said, he who wishes to conquer the world must first win the hearts of the people.

If we do this, it will only chill the hearts of the people of the world!"

When Zhu Zhengxun said this, he was already very angry.

But in order to persuade all the civil and military officials in the court to stand with him, he could only try his best to suppress the anger in his heart.

As expected, his words still won some support for him.

“I think what His Royal Highness Prince Changning said is not without reason.

If Daye wants to unify the world, it must win the hearts of the people.

If we were to use brutal means to forcibly attack the Northern Kingdom and Loulan and force them to surrender, we would certainly be resented by the people. "

"The people have been grumbling for so long that it is bound to trigger their rebellious psychology, and sooner or later new troubles will arise."

Zhong Shanzhu has remained silent, but after struggling for a long time, he still feels that he needs to make some comments.

In his opinion, Daye is now strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and is in a precarious situation. It is really unable to attack the Northern Kingdom and Loulan at the same time.

The most crucial thing is that even Daye’s strongest independent military force - the Tusi Mansion in Southern Yunnan - was unwilling to cooperate.

The 150,000 elite soldiers and generals that King Changning sent to Liang Wenyi are now few in number. What can Daye use to go to the north to fight against Loulan?

"I, the old minister, agree with the proposal of the head of the Zhong Yuan. Daye has been at war with its neighbors for many years and has lost its strength.

If we don’t repair it now, I’m afraid we won’t even be able to defeat Loulan.”

Wang Jingyun never formed cliques, but this time he stood on the side of Prince Changning for the first time, which really pissed Zhu Yajie off.

"Wang Jingyun, you have always been a rock, haven't you? Why do you choose your side now?

You have to think clearly, I am the true regent!"

Zhu Yajie's meaning is very clear---

Whoever stands on the wrong side will suffer the consequences in the future.

"That's right! His Royal Highness Prince Anyuan is the real regent.

Even if we have different proposals, the decision-making is ultimately up to His Royal Highness the Regent, so why are you here to join in the fun?"

Hearing that Zhu Yajie still agreed with his idea, Zhang Xingguo immediately felt emboldened. He glared at Wang Jingyun and Prince Changning with a very bad tone.

Prince Changning has always been calm and composed. Even at this critical moment of dilemma, he remained calm and smiled.

"In that case, I'd better go back to my Ningcheng!

Brother Wang, it seems that Daye does not require me to worry about it at all.

Please allow me to return to Ningcheng immediately!"

What made all the civil and military officials present completely speechless was that Prince Changning's proposal did not receive support. Not only did he not continue to insist on it, but he directly threatened to return to his fiefdom, Ningcheng.

Of course Zhu Yajie was very happy!

But none of the civil and military officials agreed.

"Your Highness, you must not agree to the request of His Highness Prince Changning!

Although the words of His Highness Prince Changning were a little inadequate just now, this is after all a matter of fact, and it is normal for everyone to have different opinions. "

"If you really allow His Royal Highness Prince Changning to return to Ningcheng, the imperial city's military strength will definitely be reduced by more than half. By then..."

Fearing that Zhu Yajie was trying to eliminate dissidents, he agreed to let Prince Changning return to Ningcheng. Zhao Zilei quickly stepped forward to express his opinion.

At the same time, all the civil and military officials in the court began to talk about it, and everyone's face was covered with inexplicable tension and uneasiness.

This is exactly the effect that Prince Changning wanted.

Who made these people curry favor with the powerful and never take the people of the world into consideration?

He absolutely disapproves of such brutal acts that disregard human life.

“After we conquer the Northern Kingdom and Loulan, are we still worried that the Imperial City Guards will not be enough?

Have you lost your mind after all this time? It really piss me off!"

When Zhu Yajie heard that some people began to support Prince Changning, his jealousy began to take over again, and he couldn't help but get furious.

But words spoken cannot be taken back.

Of course he wouldn't give in so quickly, but he couldn't treat it as a joke!

His extremely sharp gaze suddenly fell on Prince Changning, his face full of mockery and complacency, with a nonchalant look:

"I have allowed Prince Changning to return to Ningcheng to defend it, but not now! We must wait until Daye conquers the Northern Kingdom and Loulan!

My dear ministers, do you understand what I am saying now?"

After saying that, Zhu Yajie sneered at Zhu Zhengxun with ulterior motives, and subconsciously raised the corners of his lips, revealing a hint of ambiguous pride.

Zhu Zhengxun knew that Zhu Yajie was a cunning person, but he also understood that if the two of them were not in harmony, it would inevitably affect the future of the entire Daye.

So he gritted his teeth and endured all the humiliation.

"I will follow the order of the Regent! I will take my leave!"

What made Zhu Yajie extremely angry was that as soon as he finished speaking, Prince Changning bowed and left without even turning his head.

Upon seeing this, everyone present couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for Prince Changning, their hearts in their throats.

They were really worried that Prince Changning would be retaliated against by Zhu Yajie for his arrogance.

"He! What's his attitude? Doesn't he take me, the regent, seriously? Someone, come! Capture Prince Changning for me!"

Just as everyone predicted, when Zhu Yajie saw that Prince Changning did not give him face, he was so angry that he almost collapsed.

He actually ordered the arrest of King Changning!

The atmosphere at the scene immediately became tense and suffocating.
