I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 547 The real purpose of Wei Changtian going to Huailing
The next day, the first year of Taichu, the fifth day of November.

Shuzhou City, Weiyang Palace.

After the early dynasty, You Wenzong was left alone by Ning Yuke to re-discuss the "Eastern Expedition" strategy of the Shu Kingdom for a period of time.

"."

"Your Majesty, now that Ning Wenjun has ascended the throne, it is inappropriate to attack Cangzhou again."

You Wenzong sat across from Ning Yuke, and said seriously: "Young master will discuss the matter of partition with Ning Wenjun in detail in the future. According to what I see, the twelve southern states will belong to the Kingdom of Shu sooner or later, so it is still time to train recruits, It's better to rest and recuperate."

"Well, what You Xiang said makes sense."

Nodding her head, Ning Yuke said in a cold voice, "If this is the case, then we will give Ning Wenjun some face by not continuing the Eastern Expedition for the time being."

"However, Ning Yongnian still has tens of thousands of troops stationed in Anzhou, so we may dispatch troops to wipe them out."

"This matter."

Looking at Ning Yuke with a serious expression, You Wenzong hesitated.

As the former said, there are still [-] remnants of the imperial army that failed in the crusade against Shuzhou before, stationed in Anzhou in the north, facing Guanghan County far away.

This army has been staying in Anzhou since the end of the Battle of Shuzhou. It is estimated that Ning Yongnian wants to use it as the vanguard of the second "quelling chaos".

Of course, now that the government has changed dramatically, Ning Yongnian's immediate priority must be to regain the throne first.

Therefore, it is estimated that these [-] people will not stay in Anzhou for too long, and they should be transferred soon to deal with Ning Wenjun.

Ning Yongnian and Ning Wen are both fighting each other, this should be something that the Kingdom of Shu would love to hear.

But at this time Ning Yuke proposed to take the initiative to send troops to wipe out these [-] people.
"Your Majesty, do you know what your son plans to do next?"

Frowning slightly, You Wenzong asked softly: "Don't you want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight?"

"I don't know."

Shaking his head, the complicated and luxurious hair accessories shook slightly.

Ning Yuke paused, then calmly replied: "But as long as it is Ning Yongnian's soldier, it is always right to kill him."

"."

As long as it is Ning Yongnian's soldier, it is always right to kill him.

You Wenzong was taken aback when he heard the words, but he didn't refute anything.

Although this is also a decision that is mixed with a strong "personal hatred" color, but it also makes sense from another perspective.

Anyway, these [-] people were either used against Shu or Ning Wenjun.

The latter is now an alliance with the Wei family, so it is not impossible to help.

"This matter is entirely up to His Majesty, and the minister will follow orders."

Arching his hands, You Wenzong responded, said some other things, and then left the hall.

And Ning Yuke was still sitting behind the large desk, constantly recalling in her mind what Wei Changtian had said to herself before going to Huailing.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

"It's Ning Yongnian who should have had an accident."

"."

Obviously, the "accident" that Wei Changtian refers to is not "losing the throne", otherwise he would not need to go to Huailing, and he can still do all this in Shuzhou.

So... Master, does he want to kill Ning Yongnian?
Just how can this be done?
Ning Yuke pursed her lips, and did not continue to ponder, but thought of the last two things Wei Changtian told her to do.

"After I leave, the court situation will be chaotic in a few days. Remember to send troops immediately to wipe out the [-] imperial court remnants in Anzhou."

"Now there are nearly [-] Dali reinforcements in Shu, it should not be difficult to do."

"Remember, don't be in a hurry to retreat after finishing this matter, let Liang Zhen lead the troops to continue north to Yuanzhou, and wait for my order there."

Lead troops to Yuanzhou.

What exactly is the master going to do?
Is it.
A guess suddenly floated in Ning Yuke's mind, and she turned her eyes to Liang Zhen who was hurriedly walking outside the hall, and the half-wheel Chaoyang behind him.

The red sun is slowly rising from the east through the thick morning fog.

Sishi, the total number of Yingfengsheng.

In the small account room, Xu Qingwan was discussing with Wei Yanyu about the next distribution of food.

In order to help Ning Wenjun quickly win the hearts of the people, Yingfengsheng naturally wants to lower the price of food to highlight the new emperor's ability to govern the country.

However, this time the grain release must not be "indiscriminate", but must achieve "precise governance".

To put it simply, the state government that recognizes Ning Wenjun's ascension will lower the price of food, while the state government that does not recognize it will not only be unable to reduce the price, but will instead increase the price of food.

Yingfengsheng had hoarded a large amount of grain regardless of the cost before, and it was not difficult to manipulate the price of grain in various places.

The real difficulty is how to distinguish whether the states are "enemy or friend".

"Madam Wei, is there anything you can do about this?"

Rubbing her forehead in distress, Xu Qingwan muttered in a low voice: "When Mr. Xiang sent a letter back, he only said that he wanted me to do this well, but he didn't say how to do it."

"I'm afraid that if something goes wrong it will spoil his event."

"You are really a good daughter-in-law of the Wei family."

Wei Yanyu covered her mouth and smiled, teasingly said: "Wei Changtian is lucky to marry you."

"Husband, madam, don't make fun of me."

Lowering his head, a blush appeared on Comrade Xiao Xu's face.

But she also knew that since Wei Yanyu would joke around at this time, she must have made up her mind.

"Ma'am, do you already have a plan?"

"How? What if I say no?"

Wei Yanyu shook her head pretending to be serious: "Thirty-six prefectures in Daning, how do I know which ones are from Ning Wenjun's side and which ones are from Ning Yongnian's side?"

"what?"

Xu Qingwan was taken aback when she heard the words, and suddenly became a little anxious: "Then, what should we do?"

"Pfft~"

Seeing Xu Qingwan's anxious look, Wei Yanyu couldn't help laughing again.

In the former's puzzled eyes, she managed to stop laughing, and stopped teasing Comrade Xiao Xu, but said slowly:
"Think about it carefully, why did Wei Changtian ask you to lower the price of grain?"

"Of course it's to help Ning Wenjun win the hearts of the people." Xu Qingwan answered quickly.

"Ah."

Wei Yanyu nodded, and asked again: "Then why win the hearts of the people?"

"Is it for the common people to recognize the new emperor Ning Wenjun?"

Xu Qingwan seemed to understand a little bit: "Mrs. Wei, do you mean that my husband actually wants to use the grain price to force the state governments to express their views?"

"That's what I mean."

Smiling and nodding, Wei Yanyu looked at Comrade Xiao Xu like a loving mother: "If I were to be more precise, Wei Changtian actually wanted to use public opinion to force the governments of various states to express their views."

"For most of the state capitals today, they are definitely unwilling to say that they will stand on Ning Wenjun's or Ning Yongnian's side, and they want to see the situation later."

"And at this time, if we spread the wind and tell the people everywhere that as long as their state government is willing to support Ning Wenjun's ascension, we will release food. What do you think the people will do?"

"Will they make a wish to the Yamen?"

Xu Qingwan's eyes widened: "In this way, all states will be on Ning Wenjun's side!"

"Yes, after all, public opinion cannot be violated."

Wei Yanyu nodded slightly noncommittal: "Even if not all, those vacillating state capitals will definitely compromise."

"And this may be Wei Changtian's real purpose when he first established Yingfengsheng."

"The true purpose of establishing Yingfengsheng."

Comrade Xiao Xu opened his mouth wide in surprise, as if he was frightened by Wei Changtian's "foresight".

Could it be that Xianggong was preparing to support Ning Wenjun a few months ago?
Bravo
"Mrs. Wei, why do you think Xianggong is going to Huailing?"

Suddenly, Xu Qingwan asked: "If he just wants to help Ning Wenjun usurp the throne, he doesn't have to go to Huailing."

"."

"It's natural."

After being taken aback for a while, Wei Yanyu's expression suddenly became a little complicated.

She looked at Xu Qingwan who was puzzled, hesitated for a while and said truthfully:

"Miss Xu, do you know that if Ning Wenjun wants to ascend the throne smoothly, it is not enough to have the approval of the court officials, the state governments, and the people. At least one thing must be satisfied."

"That means Ning Yongnian can't come back too early."

"And if I'm not mistaken, Wei Changtian's trip to Huailing this time should be for this purpose."
