When his foster father first proposed to attack the witchcraft cult, Xu Qi âan had died in Yunzhou.
Nangong qianrou guessed that her foster fatherâs feelings at that time were the heartache of losing a trusted confidant, and the thought of suppressing the witch God religion because it had grown too fast.
Later on, Xu Qi âan returned to the capital and was resurrected. The witchcraft cult had also been content with their duties. In that case, there was no need to make a big fuss.
As for the witchcraft cult, he only needed to suppress them.
However, his foster fatherâs intention was to start a large-scale country war.
âFoster father, isnât this too extreme?â Nangong qianrou was straightforward.
Now that Da Fengâs strength was weak, a large-scale country war that would take several years was a burden that they could not bear.
âYang Yan sent back an urgent report from the North. The witch God religion is attacking the Barbarian monsters in the North. Zhu Jiu couldnât do it alone, so he withdrew from his original territory and joined forces with the monster race and barbarian race to retreat to the Northwest.â
Wei Yuan lowered his head and studied the geomancy map. âAlthough King
Huaiâs plan failed, the witch God religion achieved its goal. If either Zhu Jiu or Ji Li Zhigu died in battle, the Barbarian monsters of the North would be in an unprecedented state of weakness.
however, Chuzhou has also suffered heavy losses and lost a rank-3. They canât go to the North and the witchcraft religion has taken advantage of them.
Nangong qianrou was shocked and suddenly realized, â so, foster father doesnât care about the matters of the Imperial court, because the Emperor is very likely to send you to the North? â
At the same time, he speculated that the emperorâs suppression of Chief Assistant Wang at this time seemed to be out of consideration for balance, but in fact, it was precisely the way of balance.
Without Wei Yuan, wouldnât the Imperial court be dominated by chief advisor
Wang?
even if foster fatherâs focus is not on the court, itâs still far from the end of autumn. Why not take advantage of the kingâs partyâs crisis this time to reap some benefits? this way, he wonât have to worry about anything when he goes to war in the future.
Nangong qianrou expressed her opinion.
âDo you think itâs better for the Royal faction to fall or not?â Wei Yuan laughed.
âItâs best if itâs gone,â Nangong qianrou said without hesitation.
Wei Yuan nodded, â yes, itâs good. Itâs also good that itâs not. If it wasnât for the war, I would have hit him when he was down. Once Wang zhenwen falls, Iâll have at least five years to work. The Emperor wants to support a new party to be my enemy, but it canât be done overnight.
âIn the current situation, there are advantages to not collapsing the Royal faction. Wang zhenwen and I have been fighting for so many years, and we know each other very well. Itâs better to have a familiar opponent than an unfamiliar passerby in the court.â
At this moment, an official came to report and said respectfully, ââDuke of Wei,
Qian Qingshu, the Grand scholar of Wuying Hall, requests an audience.â
Qian Qingshu was Wang zhenwenâs trusted aide ⊠Nangong qianrou looked at Wei Yuan.
âNo,â Wei Yuan waved his hand, âtell him to go back.â
âYes,â the clerk bowed.
âFoster father?â Nangong qianrou thought to herself, â so foster father still chose to watch from the side in the end.
âItâll be boring if I take action.â
âThis favor must be left to the right person,â Wei Yuan laughed.
Nangong qianrou didnât understand, but she didnât ask. After being together for so many years, he had gotten used to his foster fatherâs style of speaking.
âYou can leave first.â Wei Yuan suddenly said.
After Nangong qianrou left, he took out a few envelopes, picked up a pen, and started writing.
In the Imperial Palace, jingxiu Palace.
The Crown Prince was eating iced plums with a basin of ice by his feet. He was enjoying the cool breeze being fanned by the palace maids, but his expression did not relax at all.
âThat day, I advised chief advisor Wang not to compete with my father and not to be on the same side as Wei Yuan, but he didnât listen. Now, Imperial father is going to punish him.â
The Crown Prince and chief advisor Wang did not have much interaction, but in the Royal faction, there were many people who firmly supported the Crown Prince.
If Wang zhenwen fell from power, these people would also be implicated, and the crown princeâs influence in the Imperial court would be weakened.
Concubine Chen and Lin âan listened and were somewhat worried. Since the year of the capital investigation, the crown princeâs position had been swaying left and right. He could not sit still no matter what.
âWhatâs Wei Yuanâs attitude?â concubine Chen asked with a frown.
âQian Qingshu, the Grand Secretary of Wuying Palace, went to visit Wei Yuan this morning, but he didnât see him,â the Crown Prince said in a low voice.
âWei Yuan and chief advisor Wang are political enemies. Iâm afraid heâs just waiting to kick you when youâre down,â said concubine Chen with a worried expression.
The Crown Prince looked at his sister and said, â Lin âan, isnât xu Qiâ an your confidant? he is someone Wei Yuan relies on. Why donât you try to break through from him? â
Lin âan sat on a soft couch. Her long red dress was complicated and gorgeous. She wore a golden crown on her head. Her round oval face had beautiful lines and her peach blossom eyes were charming and lively.
When she was silent, she was like an exquisite and flawless Jade Beauty.
âHe hasnât come to see me in a long time âŠâ
Lin anâs face was dejected as he said in a low voice.
After the Chuzhou City massacre case, more than half a month had passed. Xu ningyan had never come to look for her. Lin âan did not say it, but her sensitive heart had always felt that Xu ningyan had completely hated the royal family because of that incident.
He also hated her, so he deliberately distanced himself from her.
Thinking of their happy times in the past, Lin âanâs heart felt a burst of sourness.
thatâs easy. Send someone to the Xu family to send a letter and ask him to meet. If he agrees, it means that he still has his heart on you. The Crown Prince suggested with a smile.
Concubine Chen added, âremember the secret and let the servants of the residence of Lin âan do it, do not send the palace guards.â Donât let your father Imow that you have any contact with Xu Qi âan.â
Lin âan nodded his head hard, his face revealing an expression of apprehension and anticipation, ââ1â11 get someone to do it.â
During lunch, the Left Censor-in-Chief, Yuan Xiong, and the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, Qin Yuandao, entered a restaurant in the inner city..
