Chapter 238 Absurd Behavior
"But father, we are short of food and grass right now. The granaries in Longyou and the surrounding counties are empty. We have no way to support the army's battle."
"Even if there is grain in Pingjin Port now, it will take at least two months to transport the grain from Pingjin to Longyou."
"And the consumption on the road is also a huge expense."
"And as far as I know, the grain that Ninth Brother transported has not yet been unloaded. If we take action now, Ninth Brother will definitely not deliver the remaining grain."
Ning Gao said worriedly.
Ning Gao didn't want Ning Quan to die, but he was more worried about the Daqian Empire.
"food?"
Ning Yuanwu was slightly stunned. He had been angry and had not really considered the issue of food.
"This bastard!"
After a moment, Ning Yuanwu gritted his teeth and said.
Of course, a large army cannot fight without food. He was too anxious and impulsive, so he forgot about food.
"Father, how about we make two preparations? On the one hand, we can dispatch a small number of elite troops to Wuwei and Zhangye. On the other hand, we can wait and see how the war progresses and make a decision based on the outcome."
Ning Gao suggested.
"Well, that's a good idea."
"Just follow your plan. You'll be in charge of this matter."
Ning Yuanwu nodded and then gave orders.
"Yes."
Ning Gao said respectfully.
.......
At the Prime Minister's Mansion, Li Junchen returned home, still feeling depressed.
If His Majesty really decides to attack Ning Quan behind the scenes, then Ning Quan will be in great danger this time.
But what Ning Quan did was really too absurd, no wonder Your Majesty wanted to kill him.
"Alas, what a bad fate."
He sighed in his heart.
"Father, what did His Majesty decide?"
Seeing his father coming back, Li Taiheng hurried forward and asked.
"I don't know. I was driven out by His Majesty."
Li Junchen shook his head.
"what?"
"Father, why is this happening? You are the Prime Minister, how could you be kicked out?"
Li Taiheng was suddenly shocked.
"Humph, what's so strange about this? It's obvious that His Majesty no longer trusts me."
Li Junchen sighed.
Hearing this, Li Taiheng remained silent.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, the King of Zhenxi is here to visit."
At this time, the servant reported.
"Please come in."
Li Junchen said quickly.
After a while, King Zhenxi Liu Yongde walked in.
"Junchen greets the King of Zhenxi."
Li Junchen hurried to greet him.
"Prime Minister, please excuse me."
Liu Yongde bowed and indicated that there was no need to be polite.
"What brings the King of Zhenxi to visit today?"
Please sit down, King Zhenxi, Li Junchen asked.
"Humph, what else could it be?"
"Your Majesty is getting more and more confused as he gets older. He actually wants to join forces with foreign enemies to kill his own son!"
"He is going to push Daqian into an irretrievable situation."
Liu Yongde said angrily.
"this......"
"Your Highness, are you really going to take action?
Hearing Liu Yongde's words, Li Junchen was stunned.
He thought Ning Yuanwu would reconsider it, but from what the Prince of Zhenxi said, His Majesty had probably already made up his mind.
"Exactly. Judging from the current situation, His Majesty is determined to get rid of His Majesty the Ninth Prince."
"I can't dissuade you, so I came to you to see if you have any good ideas."
Liu Yongde smiled bitterly.
It goes without saying that he is related to Ning Yuanwu. The throne of King Zhenxi was conferred upon him by Ning Yuanwu, and he is Ning Yuanwu's absolute confidant.
He was not helping Ning Quan, but he didn't want Ning Yuanwu to put himself in an irretrievable situation.
Collaborating with foreign enemies to kill one's own son is such an absurd thing that he will probably be despised by people all over the world.
"Hehe, Your Highness, do you think my words are still useful now?"
"Your Majesty, I guess you're furious now that you've seen my true identity, right?"
Hearing Liu Yongde's words, Li Taiheng couldn't help but laugh at himself.
"Too."
"I don't understand what His Majesty was thinking back then. Why did he insist on marrying your daughter to the Ninth Prince?"
"Now it's like this."
Liu Yongde sighed and said.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Your Highness, please feel free to tell us what you think."
"Even if Your Majesty doesn't like it, I still have to advise you. I can't let Your Majesty make the same mistake again."
"Okay, let's discuss it then."
"Um."
............
Hedong, Anyi.
Zhendong Palace.
"Dad, I heard that the Arabs and Persians sent troops to attack the Ninth Prince. Is this true?"
Zhao Yu hurried into the study and said to Zhao Heng.
"That's true. Now His Highness the Ninth Prince is in trouble."
Zhao Heng nodded.
"What's the problem? Even if others don't know the Ninth Prince's abilities, how could I not know them?"
"Even if the Tanguts and Persians came, His Highness the Ninth Prince would surely be able to handle them."
Zhao Yu said disdainfully upon hearing this.
"Haha, do you trust His Highness the Ninth Prince so much?"
"You may not understand the situation very well. The Persian and Arab allied forces total 500,000 men, and His Majesty also wants to put the Ninth Prince to death."
"So this time, His Highness the Ninth Prince is likely to fall flat on his face."
After hearing what Zhao Yu said, Zhao Heng snorted coldly.
"Ah, five hundred thousand? That's exaggerated."
"Your Majesty also wants to kill the Ninth Prince? Why?"
Zhao Yu's eyes suddenly widened.
"well, why?"
"Do you still remember the theft in the capital a year ago? It was His Highness the Ninth Prince who did it. Why do you think that was?"
"Ah? Was it His Highness the Ninth Prince who did that?"
"Dad, how did you know?"
Hearing this, Zhao Yu was even more shocked.
"Huh, how should I know?"
"Why do you think the Arabs and Persians sent troops? Wasn't it because the Ninth Prince did the same thing and was discovered?"
"Not only did he steal tens of millions of dan of grain from the Arabs and Persians, he also plundered seventy or eighty Persian merchant ships. Even more devastating, he even killed the Persian emperor."
Zhao Heng said coldly.
"what?"
“This…this…”
Hearing this, Zhao Yu was completely stunned.
This is incredible!
"So, you came here in such a hurry because you want Dad to help him?"
"I'm telling you, this is impossible."
"His crimes are too serious. Your Majesty already hates him to death, and his crimes are indeed unforgivable, so you'd better not waste your energy on him."
Zhao Heng shook his head.
"Dad, you can't do this. They have helped us before."
Zhao Yu said unwillingly.
"Yes, he did help us. If there is anything else, Dad will definitely help."
"But this matter is too big for Dad to interfere."
Hearing Zhao Yu's words, Zhao Heng waved his hand and said.
"All right......"
Hearing this, Zhao Yu was speechless.
"Why."
Zhao Yu sighed and left in a depressed mood.
"Hi!"
After Zhao Yu left, Zhao Heng couldn't help but sigh deeply.
He knew His Majesty's character very well and knew that this time His Majesty was determined to get rid of Ning Quan.
So he couldn't intervene, otherwise it would arouse Ning Yuanwu's suspicion.
