Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

The imperial army was defeated and suffered heavy losses, with tens of thousands of casualties in one battle. Even the commander-in-chief was frightened by his horse during the rout, and he fell off his horse with a broken leg.

This battle also shocked everyone; the Ning family army was too powerful.

It is worthy of being the strongest army in Da Qi, no doubt about it.

This is the army that every prince wants to take into his possession in his fight for the throne.

The imperial court issued several edicts in succession, angrily denouncing the Ning family army for disobeying the emperor's orders and having no regard for the law, and regarded them as traitors.

Ning Zhiwei fought back unwillingly, asking why the imperial army was pressing on so closely when their Northwest Army was guarding the border so well? Why did they insist on killing them all?

He also reiterated that although your court is unkind, we, the Northwest Army, cannot be unjust. As long as you do not attack us, we will not take the initiative to attack. Everything we do is to protect ourselves.

Southeast, Haiyan City, the capital of Jiang State, the imperial palace, and Lizheng Hall.

"This is nonsense. This is just a sophistry. Ning Zhiwei is trying to trick a three-year-old child."

The Grand Tutor was spitting and accusing loudly.

"Everyone knows Sima Zhao's intentions. Ning Zhiwei's rebellious intentions are so obvious, why is she still pretending? She is playing both sides, disgusting."

Men are very dissatisfied with the way things are done in the Northwest, where women are actually allowed to be in charge. What are those men thinking?

The fake Jiang Emperor Su Mingjin had an indifferent expression, holding a stack of information in his hand.

His confidant, General Wu, glanced at him secretly and said, "But I have to say, this is a brilliant move. It occupies the high ground of public opinion and is invincible. As long as she does not rebel, the court will attack her, which is like killing all loyal people. The people are on her side."

The Grand Master was very angry, "Damn it, so cunning."

General Wu asked softly, "My Lord, is she still unwilling to form an alliance?"

As soon as these words came out, Su Mingjin's face turned ugly.

“This is her reply.”

When the ministers saw this, they almost fainted with anger.

Good fellow, if you don't want to form an alliance, then don't do it. Why are you cursing me righteously, saying that you won't associate with thieves and thieves, and you disdain to form an alliance with traitors.

"MD, what's the difference between her and a traitor? She's still disdainful? Ugh."

"That's still a difference. As long as she doesn't start a rebellion, she will be the loyal and righteous Princess Jingning in the hearts of the people."

"The imperial court has taken back the title of county lady. She is just a commoner. How dare she look down on us?"

"What did our spies say?"

The military advisor had a complicated look on his face. "Ning Zhiwei has Rong Jing and Zhou Hongye in literature, and Ning Ran and Xiao Linfeng in martial arts. The situation is set."

Rong Jing was an unprecedented scholar who won the top six places in the imperial examination. He had a great influence among the scholars in the world.

Zhou Hongye, although unknown, was proficient in general affairs and built a complete northwestern government system under his leadership.

Ning Ran, the young general with a silver face, was a ruthless character who attacked four cities of the Jin Dynasty in one fell swoop and remained standing despite being besieged by several generals of the Jin Dynasty.

Xiao Linfeng...

The Grand Tutor's face changed when he heard the voice. "Wait a minute, is that Jinyiwei Commander Xiao Linfeng? Why did he turn to the northwest?"

Xiao Linfeng was a dog of the late emperor. He was fierce and powerful, and his methods were ruthless, making all the civil and military officials tremble in fear.

The chief military advisor nodded, "Yes, he controls a group of Jinyiwei with spies all over the world. Everyone, be careful. He is a big threat to us and we must find a way to get rid of him as soon as possible."

Everyone looked unhappy. The most outstanding civil and military figures of the previous emperor's era were all recruited by Ning Zhiwei. How did she do it?

The commander of the imperial guards loudly suggested, "My Lord, I suggest that we send the secret guards to the northwest to carry out the decapitation plan. If we assassinate these people, then we won't have to worry about our great plan failing."

The military advisor glared at him unhappily and said, "The northwest is loose outside and tight inside. The household registration has been recompiled. The pass must have the seals of the general's office and the governor's office. The previous ones are invalid."

"This is very troublesome. If you are not a native of the Northwest, you can't get this pass."

"When you go out, you are required to bring your household registration and travel permit. They are checked at any time. When you visit relatives or friends, you need several families to guarantee you. If something goes wrong, everyone will be held responsible. No one dares to do anything wrong."

"Entry and exit from the city are strictly checked, and there is a strict process for identifying spies."

The commander of the imperial guards was shocked. Is it so tight? Then, find a way to bribe the people around Ning Zhiwei. "

"It's hard."

After discussing it for a long time, everyone felt that it was a difficult problem. The Northwest was managed like a piece of iron and it was difficult to intervene.

The military advisor suddenly said, "My Lord, why don't you put forward the conditions for the two saints to rule the country, and then we can each use our own methods after the world is pacified."

Su Mingjin learned the lesson of his previous life and no longer planned secretly and waited for the best opportunity. Instead, he directly proclaimed himself emperor and fulfilled his long-cherished wish.

He worked hard for two lifetimes and finally recovered his old country and became the emperor of Jiang State, which made him feel proud.

However, with wolves surrounding him from all sides, every step was cautious and the situation was even more complicated than in the previous life.

In his previous life, there was a Ning Zhiwei who planned everything for him, and Zhou Hongye was responsible for supplementing him. Now, there are only some guys who think they are smart.

However, he became emperor with the help of these noble families, so naturally he was restricted everywhere.

"It's no use. She hates me so much that she wants to kill me."

When he said this, he felt as if he had drunk a large bowl of coptis water, and the bitterness spread from his mouth to his heart.

The Grand Master was stunned for a moment, then looked at him twice, "As long as the benefits are sufficient, anything can be discussed."

General Wu is Su Mingjin's brother-in-law and a relative by marriage, so he speaks more directly, "My Lord, why do you insist on forming an alliance with the Northwest? In fact, the Fifth Prince next door is a good choice."

"First, unite with the fifth prince to attack the eldest prince, then destroy the imperial court, capture the capital, formally establish the country, and then attack the northwest."

Su Mingjin frowned, "We must not give the Northwest time to grow stronger. If we cannot defeat them, we can only form an alliance."

"You have three days to come up with a way to control Ning Zhiwei, otherwise, you will be demoted!"

Everyone looked at each other, wondering why they were suddenly unhappy. "Yes."

When the party was over, Su Mingjin left first, and the military advisor deliberately dawdled and was the last one to leave.

After leaving Lizheng Hall, he saw the Grand Master standing at the door. He bowed and said, "Military Advisor, shall we go for a drink?"

"please."

A small pub, quiet and intimate, with very good food.

The two sat opposite each other, drinking wine and eating peanuts.

It was raining, and there was continuous rain and fog outside. The whole city was shrouded in rain, and pedestrians on the road were rushing home.

The Grand Master was a little worried, "Military Advisor, why do I feel that the Emperor's attitude towards Ning Zhiwei is strange? It's a bit like... he wants it but can't get it."

It’s not his fault that he pays special attention to Su Mingjin’s private life. Rather, his eldest daughter is the imperial concubine in the harem, and many things are closely related.

The military advisor paused while drinking, "Not really. As an emperor, does he have any woman he wants?"

The Grand Master frowned, "Ning Zhiwei is not an ordinary woman, she has her own kingdom."

The military advisor said calmly, "Why would someone with his own kingdom still rely on others? She's not stupid. Instead of worrying about her, you should worry about the one in the West Courtyard. The emperor treats her differently."

The Grand Master's face darkened, "That beauty is a disaster."

At this time, Su Mingjin was in the west courtyard, and a graceful woman wearing a white veil was crawling at his feet.
