The ninth son of the emperor was demoted at the beginning. I have a famous Chinese general.

"Your Highness, should we send troops to rescue Changhe City? If we delay any longer, it may be too late."

At this time, Ning Zhen's staff spoke.

"Rescue? Ning Quan now has at least 60,000 to 70,000 troops. How can we rescue them?"

"What do you think the purpose of Anxi's letter is? It's just to urge me to send troops."

Ning Zhen snorted coldly.

"Your Highness, Anxi is using an open conspiracy. Fang Xiaolian has calculated that Your Highness will not stand idly by."

There was a cold glint in the aide's eyes as he spoke in a low voice.

"That's right, so we can't be fooled."

"Unless Fang Xiaolian and I go to war together."

Ning Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Your Highness, how about we contact Anxi and discuss sending troops together?"

"Otherwise, if we allow Hulan to become too powerful, it will be extremely disadvantageous to us!"

The staff suggested.

"Well, I think so too, but Fang Xiaolian is very cunning and he may not agree."

Ning Zhen shook his head.

"We'll have to try to find out whether he agrees or not. Your Highness could also consider contacting the King of Zhenxi."

The staff said.

"King of Zhenxi?"

"Yes, it's the King of Zhenxi."

"The King of Zhenxi is the Sixth Prince's great-grandfather, so he naturally doesn't want the Ninth Prince to become too powerful. Furthermore, the Longyou Army is very powerful."

"If the three of us join forces, we will definitely be able to defeat His Majesty the Ninth Prince!"

The staff said firmly.

"Well, that's a good idea indeed."

Ning Zhen's eyes lit up and he nodded in praise.

Afterwards, the two discussed for a while, and Ning Zhen immediately wrote two secret letters and handed them to his personal guards, who sent them to Anxi and Longyou respectively.

.......

At the same time, the news that Ning Quan had captured Beiting and surrounded Changhe City spread throughout the counties of Daqian, causing an uproar in an instant.

"Is it true that His Highness the Ninth Prince is so powerful that he could actually defeat Beiting?"

"I heard that Beiting was defeated and His Majesty the Ninth Prince captured hundreds of thousands of civilians."

"Hiss, this is simply unbelievable. He is indeed of the bloodline of the previous dynasty and has the appearance of an emperor!"

"Haha, that's great, Beiting has finally returned to Daqian."

.....

The people of Daqian were overjoyed and ran around to tell each other, their faces full of joy.

But compared with the common people, the various forces in Daqian have a different attitude.

"Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince has grown so rapidly and now controls Beiting. Changhe City is also about to fall. What should we do?"

In the imperial study, Minister of War Huang Chengyan said worriedly.

"Minister Huang is absolutely right. I suggest that Your Majesty should make a decision soon."

Prince Ning Gao stepped forward and said.

"Your son agrees."

"I agree with you."

The third prince Ning Jun and the sixth prince Ning Xuan came out together.

Ning Quan's strong rise has threatened them all.

"The Crown Prince asked me to make a decision early. What do you think I should make?"

Ning Yuanwu asked with a gloomy expression.

"Father, I believe that troops should be immediately dispatched to Beiting and officials should be appointed to take over and reclaim Beiting."

"Beiting is Daqian's Beiting, not Ninth Brother's Beiting. It cannot be owned by whoever occupies it."

The prince said respectfully.

"Father, my son and minister second my opinion."

"Beiting City is an important border town and the gateway to Daqian. We must not allow it to be lost."

"Your son is willing to lead the troops to Beiting and guard the border for your father."

As soon as Ning Gao finished speaking, the Sixth Prince Ning Xuan stepped forward and spoke.

His eyes were blazing with a hint of urgency.

Who doesn’t want the throne?

Especially now that the prince is gaining popularity, Ning Xuan is even more anxious. How could he miss the opportunity to be sent abroad?

As soon as Ning Xuan opened his mouth, several of Ning Xuan's followers also expressed their support for him to enter Beiting.

"You are leading troops into Beiting?"

"Have you ever led troops and fought in a war?"

Ning Yuanwu looked at Ning Xuan and snorted coldly.

"Father, although I have never led troops in battle, I can learn and gain experience. Sooner or later, I will be able to take charge of my own affairs!"

Hearing this, Ning Xuan said with his head held high.

"Huh! Can you handle things on your own?"

"It will probably take ten years before you can stand on your own."

Ning Yuanwu looked at Ning Xuan mockingly and exposed him without mercy.

"Father..."

Ning Xuan was suddenly speechless and felt extremely ashamed.

"Father, I am willing to lead the troops to Beiting."

Seeing Ning Xuan being humiliated, the third prince Ning Jun quickly spoke.

Ning Xuan has never fought a war, but he has.

"Your Majesty, I believe the Third Prince is qualified for the position."

Zhang Shijie, the great general of Wuwei, stepped forward and said.

He is the uncle of the third prince, so naturally he supports the third prince.

"Haha, seeing how active you all are?"

"Old Nine conquered Beiting, and you all want to reap the fruits?"

"I want to ask, what is your basis?"

Ning Yuanwu glanced at everyone, finally stopping at the third prince and the sixth prince.

"Father, I..."

Being stared at by Ning Yuanwu, the third prince Ning Jun and the sixth prince Ning Xuan were so frightened that they dared not speak.

"**, what do you think about this?"

Ning Yuanwu ignored his two sons and looked at Prime Minister Li Junchen.

"Your Majesty, I think it's too early to discuss Beiting's selection!"

Li Junchen frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Oh? Then in your opinion, when is not early?" Ning Yuanwu asked.

"Your Majesty, I believe it won't be too late to make a decision after Changhe City is captured."

Li Junchen bowed.

"Haha, ** is really smart."

"If we wait until Changhe City is captured before making a decision, I'm afraid it will be too late."

Hearing this, Ning Yuanwu sneered.

"Your Majesty, why do you say it's late?"

"Your Highness, have you forgotten something very important?" Li Junchen asked calmly.

"Oh, what did I forget?"

Ning Yuanwu frowned and said.

"Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince is also your prince. He conquered Beiting. Doesn't that mean that Your Majesty has conquered Beiting?"

"If that's the case, why would there be a saying about sooner or later?"

"If that's the case, why rush to send someone to take over?"

"If we really need to send someone, wouldn't His Highness the Ninth Prince be the most suitable candidate?"

"Furthermore... Your Majesty should reward His Majesty for such great achievements."

"this......."

Hearing Li Juncheng's words, Ning Yuanwu was stunned, and his mind was in turmoil.

"Your Majesty, you must not listen to what the thief says. It's true that the Ninth Prince is a prince, but he has blood from the previous dynasty!"

Huang Chengyan quickly stood up and said anxiously.

"Yes, Your Majesty, although the previous dynasty has been destroyed for many years, there are still many remnants left. If the Ninth Prince becomes powerful, there will be endless troubles."

"Even if His Majesty the Ninth Prince has no such intention, will those remaining evildoers give up?"

"Your Majesty, your legacy must not be destroyed by one person!"

"Yes, Father, you must not hand Beiting over to my ninth brother."

.......

Almost at the same time, other court officials gave their advice.

“Shut up!”

Ning Yuanwu's face turned cold.

Of course he knew that if Ning Quan was allowed to become powerful, there would be endless troubles.
