Suning, who was far away in Jiangning Mansion, naturally heard about the separation of the Gu family, but she didn't have any complex feelings of regret, because everything today was the fault of everyone in the Gu family. On the contrary, she was willing to give in to Gu Yankai.
The third son, Gu Tingwei, was adopted by the Marquis of Xiangyang. The Mansion was a little surprised, which made Suning feel a little confused and puzzled for a while.
You must know that although Ningyuan Hou and Xiangyang Hou both have the surname Gu, and the first-generation old marquis of the two families are also brothers, the Xiangyang Hou family has always been underpopulated.
The Gu family of Marquis Ningyuan adopted a son, and the current generation adopted Gu Tingwei from the Gu family of Marquis Ningyuan. It can be seen that the Gu surnames of Ningyuan Marquis and Xiangyang Marquis have a long history.
Suning knew that Gu Yankai had been arrogant all his life. The only time he bowed his head was for his incompetent clansmen. Unexpectedly, this time he was willing to bow to the Marquis of Xiangyang for the sake of his youngest son. It reminded Suning of that sentence.
, the beloved son of his parents, has a far-reaching plan. It is obvious that Gu Yankai and Xiao Qin are just interested in the title of the Marquis of Xiangyang.
"Master, do you want to find a way to teach this Marquis of Xiangyang a lesson?" Su Yi, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, knew best that Suning wanted to teach the Gu family, so he couldn't help but look at Suning in front of him and asked.
"Forget it! This bunch of rubbish from the Gu family has nothing to do with me from now on. Whether they live or die is their own destiny. As for the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion, they naturally have nothing to do with us." Although he is already sitting on the throne of Jiangnan.
Really, Suning is not too domineering to expand hatred.
"Yes! Master."
"Su Yi, has there been any movement in Daliao and Xixia recently?" Suning then asked about the situation in the north and northwest. These two jackals would definitely not sit back and watch their own development.
"Master, since the Song Army obtained war horses and sophisticated firearms from our Ningyuan Army, and the teaching guards of our Ningyuan Army went to demonstrate training in person, the Song Army immediately began a counterattack against Daliao and Xixia, and has now retaken the lost territory.
Zhending Mansion, and the pressure from Khitan and Xixia has naturally doubled, and they have already set their sights on our Ningyuan Army."
"Humph! A weakling will be a weakling after all! Even if they were given the Song Army's artifact, they still hesitated and hesitated. I think there is no hope of rescue in the Song Dynasty." But Suning felt ashamed of the Song Army's hesitation, as if
Chinese people have always had these weak traditions.
"Master, the Song Dynasty is urging our Ningyuan Army to go north as soon as possible to attack the Liao Dynasty. How should our Ningyuan Army deal with it?" Su Yi then talked about the urging of the Song Dynasty court again, and then looked at Suning in front of him to ask about the next arrangement.
"Just say that my king is not in good health and is not suitable to send troops immediately. In addition, I asked the Jin Yiwei to increase the exploration of the Bohai Bay. Next, I will go to poke the chrysanthemum of the Khitan's back yard." At this time, Suning immediately said the next step of the arrangement.
, suddenly showed a vicious expression and said.
"Yes! Master, since the Song Dynasty is so unbearable, why doesn't the master just replace it?" Su Yi, an AI robot, looked at Suning with some confusion and asked. He only needed to go back and forth along the river to destroy the Song Dynasty court.
.
"Su Yi, although you are just AI robots, the amount of knowledge stored is quite rich. You should know that there is no China after Yashan. I just want to preserve more of our Chinese cultural heritage, so naturally I need to adopt a relatively gentle approach.
Use different methods to treat Bianjing."
"Master, Daliao and Xixia are also preparing to send people to Jiangning Mansion to contact the master, and they also want to obtain firearms from us."
"Hmph! The Kaizi who comes to the door automatically will not kill you if you don't kill them. A Mauser 1888 costs thirty taels of gold and twenty twenty rounds of bullets." Suning sneered and doubled the price of the arms, wanting to take these too.
Kill them severely with advanced firearms, which the natives cannot produce anyway.
"Yes! Master."
"By the way! I heard that the generals of the Song Dynasty were imitating Mauser 1888?" Suning then looked at Su Yi in confusion and asked.
"Yes! It's just that the progress is not smooth at all. For this reason, the officials killed several supervisors who were going to be the supervisors, and specially set up a very considerable bonus..."
"Hey, taking out these epoch-making firearms in advance may really make China's science and technology a big step forward, so just let the old emperor of Bianjing and the others do whatever they want."
"Yes! Master."
Suning had never thought about fighting side by side with the soldiers of the Song Dynasty. If he really pulled his Ningyuan army to the frontier, the friendly forces might do more harm to him than the enemies in the north. You must know that the people of the Song Dynasty are the most powerful.
What he is good at is controlling people and internal fighting. Besides, if the Ningyuan Army really goes to the border obediently, then the logistics lifeline of the Ningyuan Army will naturally be under the control of the Bianjing princes. Therefore, Suning is planning to directly attack from the Bohai Bay, the hinterland of Khitan.
Start attacking. Anyway, I always prefer to fight alone.
…………
In fact, Suning has been secretly preparing to popularize compulsory education in the south of the Yangtze River, and then completely ban old private schools and academies. It can also wrest public opinion and cultural positions from the hands of scholar-bureaucrats, and its own AI robots are the most powerful.
A good teaching assistant must know that Suning's AI robots store far more knowledge than ordinary people, so Suning is planning to build a large boarding school in the south of the Yangtze River.
"Father-in-law, you helped me build the palace very beautifully. It seems that I have to consider adding more burdens to you." The construction of Prince Ning's palace has been completed for some time, and Suning has not figured out how to continue to use Sheng Hong.
, just because Sheng Hong is too complicated.
"Sheng Hong, thank you, Your Majesty." Hearing Suning's praise and recognition of him, Sheng Hong couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised.
"Well, father-in-law, please take a look at this construction plan first. I intend to build one in each state and county, so this is a very huge project." Then Suning took out the planned campus construction sketch.
, ready to hand it over to Sheng Hong in front of him to be responsible for the construction.
"Oh? Your Majesty, what is this building complex used for?" Looking at the houses with two-story brick and wood structures, Sheng Hong felt a little strange.
"Military camp! It's a very big military camp." Suning knew that his plan would definitely cause fierce resistance among the soldiers. Naturally, he still had to keep it a secret for now, and then lied to his father-in-law in front of him with nonsense.
"Ah? Military camp? So many and so big military camps?" Sure enough, Sheng Hong's eyes widened in shock at this time, feeling that the young Prince Ning in front of him was definitely a madman.
"Yes! If we want to protect the prosperous land in the south of the Yangtze River, we naturally need to maintain the strong military strength of our Ningyuan Army." Suning doesn't care about being a war madman, as long as he can make others fear him.
"Ah? Your Majesty, if you are warlike, you will perish!" At this time, Sheng Hong couldn't help but persuade Suning.
"Father-in-law, I will support war with war. I believe that there will never be an empty internal treasury."
"…………"
At this time, Sheng Hong wanted to give some advice to the belligerent Suning, but he swallowed his words. After all, he and Suning didn't get along for long, and he didn't understand whether Suning was a person who would listen to advice.
If Suning has a fiery temper, it would be more than worth the loss if he annoys Suning later.
The Sheng family is now too tied to Suning, so it is extremely difficult for Sheng Hong to get rid of the control of Ning Yuan's army. Regardless of whether Suning is a bellicose war madman, Sheng Hong and the entire Sheng family are at this time.
She had to go all the way, and Sheng Hong also wanted to fight for the title of county king for his little grandson.
When Sheng Hong returned to the Sheng family in Jiangning Mansion, Mrs. Sheng noticed Sheng Hong's face and guessed that Suning must have given Sheng Hong another arduous task, "Hong'er, your errand to build the palace has been completed.
It’s over, is the prince ready to promote you?”
"Mom, look at this sketch of the construction plan." Sheng Hong did not answer Mrs. Sheng immediately. Instead, he handed the plan to the old lady.
"Oh? This is it?" Mrs. Sheng immediately took it and looked at it in surprise.
"Mother, the prince said that a complex of buildings like this will be built in each city of Fuzhou County to serve as a garrison camp for the Ningyuan Army." At this time, Sheng Hong explained with a helpless smile. The huge Sheng family could only be seen in front of him.
This old lady can give her own advice.
"Impossible! If it is really to build a military camp, it is absolutely impossible to be so luxurious and strong, and it can be directly handed over to the garrisons in various places." Looking at the detailed construction plan and various engineering parameters in her hand, Old Mrs. Sheng
But he shook his head decisively and analyzed.
"Ah? Mother, what do you mean?" Sheng Hong immediately opened his eyes in surprise and looked at Old Mrs. Sheng in front of him and asked.
"Hong'er, although our King Ning is still in his weak years, he has always made decisions before taking action when he is in great power. I guess this must be a grand plan of ancient times, and it is likely to encounter fierce opposition. This
That’s why I had to deliberately hide my true intentions.”
"Mother, doesn't the prince want to build a military camp?"
"Hmph! Hong'er, such a large-scale military camp would not have been built even if the First Emperor was alive."
"Mother, it seems that the prince still doesn't trust me."
"Hong'er, this just shows that the prince's real plan is too huge. Now with his unrestrained character, he has to treat it with caution. So from now on, you can just concentrate on the construction. There is no need to worry about other things."
"Yes! Mother."
…
The contact between Daliao and Xixia sects and Prince Ning of Jiangning Prefecture naturally quickly reached the ears of the great ministers of Bianjing and the old emperor. Naturally, the old emperor became furious and broke many tea cups. "
You bastard! You bastard! How can you help the northern barbarians like this?"
"Guan family, the price of firearms and ammunition sold by King Ning to Liao and Xixia is twice that of our Song Dynasty. Maybe His Highness King Ning is also trying to raise the salary of Ningyuan Army!" Several senior ministers also looked at each other in confusion.
After taking a quick look, I was also a little confused as to what Suning was really thinking.
"Hmph! The Ningyuan Army has already occupied the sacred land south of the Yangtze River. Why does it need to sell firearms to raise military pay?" The old emperor did not agree with this guess of the great ministers. You must know that the entire sacred land of the Song Dynasty was in the Ningyuan Army.
in the hand.
"Official, I made a mistake at the moment." The wealthy husband, who had just spoken out what they had guessed, quickly bowed and apologized.
"It doesn't matter."
"Guan family, at this time, Prince Ning does not have any ties in Bianjing, which is very detrimental to our Song Dynasty court." Then the Prime Minister Shen on the side also realized Suning's power, and then looked at the old emperor in front of him to remind him.
One sentence.
"Oh? Mr. Shen, do you have any ideas?" The old emperor looked at the old fox in front of him with understanding and asked.
"Officials, it is said that Prince Ning trusts Sheng Hong's family very much. In addition to the fact that the Sheng family has two daughters who are Prince Ning's concubines, Sheng Hong himself is also the person in charge of the construction of Prince Ning's Mansion in Jiangning. Recently, Prince Ning also intends to build the Ningyuan Palace.
The important affairs of the military camp are handed over to Sheng Hong. The official family has issued an edict to promote this Sheng Hong to Bianjing to serve as an official." As expected, Shen Daxianggong made a very sinister suggestion, which was nothing more than to let Suning stay in Bianjing.
A restrained object.
"Oh? What official position does Shen Daxiangong think it is appropriate to give Sheng Hong?" Soon the old emperor understood Shen Daxiangong's intention, which was to ask Suning's father-in-law and his family to come to Bianjing as hostages.
"Minister of the Ministry of Industry."
"Well, what do you think, gentlemen?" Then the old emperor looked at the other princes noncommittally and asked.
"Go back to the official's house. I will second my opinion."
"Okay! Immediately issue an order to promote Sheng Hong to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the whole family will immediately move to Bianjing."
Although the area south of the Yangtze River was actually out of Bianjing's control, it was still nominally under the jurisdiction of the Zhao and Song Dynasties. Suning would not be able to refuse the transfer of officials, so this time the "pledge plan"
It can be said to be a conspiracy.
In fact, the original intention of the old emperor and the princes was to let Suning settle in Bianjing, so that Suning could easily lose control of Ningyuan's army. Unexpectedly, Suning would be so lazy and shameless, every time
He refused on the pretext of being seriously injured, and also used the same excuse to refuse to immediately send Ningyuan's army to the northern Khitan.
When the old emperor returned to the Funing Hall in the harem, the Empress smiled and handed over a letter, "Guan family, Huirou wrote back and said that she is now pregnant, and Prince Ning also loves her very much.
She also said she was grateful to us for choosing a good husband for her."
"What a sin! The heirs are quite prosperous. I heard that the two daughters of the Sheng family each gave birth to a son for Prince Ning?" At this time, the old emperor received the letter, but he felt extremely jealous of Suning.
"Yes! The eldest son's name is Su Zheng, and the second son's name is Su Tong."
"Hmph! Political connections and human relations?" Soon the old emperor guessed Suning's intention.
"Huh? That must be the case." Suddenly hearing the old emperor's speculation, Empress Cao nodded in agreement.
"What a sin! I don't know how to ask me to name some of the children." Soon the old emperor felt a little depressed again. After all, Suning was also his adopted son in name.
"Official family, since Prince Ning is unwilling to come to Bianjing, we might as well visit Jiangning Mansion in person. In addition to letting Prince Ning feel the favor of the official family, we can also let the people and officials of Jiangnan bathe in the emperor's favor." Empress Cao
After all, he comes from a famous family and is familiar with all kinds of fighting methods.
"Oh? But it costs too much to tour the south of the Yangtze River. You know, the Song Dynasty is full of hardships." The old emperor naturally understood Empress Cao's intention easily, but he became a little worried about the expense of the southern tour.
"For officials, of course Prince Ning will provide the money and help when we get to Jiangning Mansion. It is very convenient to take a boat all the way from Bianjing to Jiangning Mansion."
"Madam, do you also want to go out for a walk?" Sure enough, the old emperor was persuaded by Empress Cao. Anyway, it is well known that Prince Ning's mansion is wealthy.
"Guan family, we are already of this age. We should also go out and see the great rivers and mountains. Besides, we can't just listen to reports from people below. We must go to Jiangnan in person to see Ningyuan's army, right?"
"Well, that's fine! I'm also very curious about Prince Ning's luxurious palace, so I'll give an order to Prince Ning and Princess Huirou of Jiangning Mansion, telling them that I and the Queen will be touring Jiangnan soon."
