Appeasing the people of Nanling, dealing with the three princes and prime ministers, and arranging for new officials to take over could not be completed in three or two days. By the time these things came to an end, Naibao was already half a year old, and he had been fighting against Dongling for nearly a year without being able to break through.
Beiling, which was defended by Dongling, finally couldn't hold on any longer. Before winter came, it announced its withdrawal and negotiated peace with Dongling!
Uncle Jiuhuang was just about to wean Feng Qingchen off the baby when he received the news that Beiling was going to negotiate peace. He felt depressed in his heart. If he hadn't still had sense, he would have sent troops to attack Beiling!
Beiling wants to negotiate peace, is it peace or war?
Uncle Jiuhuang had already made up his mind, but he did not tell anyone else about his decision. Instead, he put the Beiling peace negotiation at the court meeting for discussion.
After the fall of the Sangong and the prime ministers, most of the people in the court were young faces. These people were easy to control, but lacked experience and acted impulsively. Uncle Nine Emperors intended to give them a hard time.
Sure enough, there were many passionate young people who didn't care about the current situation in Dongling. When they saw Beiling retreating, they clamored to fight back.
Call back?
If it were so easy to fight back, Dongling and Beiling would not have been in a stalemate on the border for nearly a year. Although there are Dongling strategic issues, Feng Liyou formulated a conservative strategy focusing on defense, which is also for Dongling's benefit.
.
After the battle with Nanling, Dongling's vitality was severely damaged and it needed time to recuperate. It was really not appropriate to launch a fierce attack on Beiling. On the other hand, Dongling could not take Beiling now, so even if it took Beiling, it would not be able to manage it properly.
A big country that is divided into fragments and operates independently can quickly establish a political power and become an independent country. However, it is not that easy to unify a country that originally operated independently.
Although the four countries were originally one body, over the years, the people of each country have become accustomed to calling themselves Beiling and Nanling people. Once Dongling is swallowed up, they will instinctively reject it. If it is not handled properly at this time, it will definitely cause chaos.
Feng Qingchen and the story he told about Qin's unification of the six kingdoms are bloody examples. He did not want the dynasty he established to be passed down to only two generations.
It is difficult to conquer the world, but it is even harder to govern the world. If he only had himself, he would not hesitate to conquer all countries and cities with iron cavalry, but he has a son, and he wants to give his son a strong and rich country.
He needs to eat in one breath. Beiling and Xiling are within his reach, so he is not in a hurry.
Some people advocate war, and naturally some people advocate peace. The war faction and the peace faction started to quarrel in the main hall. The Nine Emperors Uncle did not stop them and allowed them to make noise in the hall. Wang Jinling pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache. No matter how long it took, he would not
Getting used to this noisy environment, maybe he should resign.
This thought could never be shaken off for the rest of his life. When officials from the two factions were arguing about war or peace, Wang Jinling was thinking about the possibility of resigning.
His temperament is really not suitable for being an official, and the power in his hands is too great. Now the government and the public are in the hands of the Nine Emperors Uncle, and all the officials are obedient to the Nine Emperors Uncle. After what happened between the three princes and the prime minister,
No one dared to take action against Feng Qingchen. They all clearly saw how protective the Fengli clan was and how terrifying the Fengli clan was when they fought back.
The three princes and the prime minister, and tens of thousands of people from the nine tribes, not a single one is left!
The tragic end shocked the government and the public, and also shocked everyone. The fate of the three princes and the prime minister made all the ministers understand that Feng Qingchen, the queen, was by no means easy to mess with. As long as the Fengli clan is still there, Feng Qingchen will be the Fengli clan.
This noble and unparalleled legitimate daughter cannot be deceived even by the Heavenly Family!
This group of lunatics from the Fengli clan are so terrifying. Back then, they could challenge the previous royal family for a legitimate daughter. Now, of course, they can make enemies of everyone for the legitimate daughter of Fengli.
With the Fengli clan backing him, Feng Qingchen didn't need him at all.
The more he thought about Wang Jinling, the more he felt that it was time for him to resign. There was nothing worthy of his nostalgia in the officialdom. If he wanted to say goodbye, I was afraid that after resigning, he would not be able to freely enter the palace and would be farther and farther away from Qingchen, but...
"Sooner or later, I have to cut it off, and if I keep doing it, I will be disturbed." Wang Jinling clearly understood that he had to stop thinking about Feng Qingchen, otherwise he would eventually become a demon, but he couldn't let it go.
"It's time to make a decision." Wang Jinling said to himself, and he did. As soon as the meeting was over, Wang Jinling submitted a letter to resign.
"Resign? Mr. Wang wants to resign?"
Wang Jinling's move caused a real shock to the government and the public. To the civil and military officials, Wang Jinling's move brought a shock no less than the collapse of the three prime ministers.
Wang Jinlingye, the emperor's favorite minister, is truly inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. The emperor's trust in Wang Jinling has never diminished. Even if Wang Jinling is in power, the emperor has not shown any disbelief. Under such circumstances, Wang Jinling actually
Want to resign...
"Are you crazy?" Wang's father looked at his increasingly mature and steady son, and did not dare to say a harsh word. Even this question lacked confidence.
The Wang family is now soaring. The Xie family is gone. The Cui family is cowering in Xiling and dare not move. The Wen, Liang, and Chen families all failed to seize the opportunity and did not gain the favor of the new emperor. Only the Wang family took the opportunity to soar to the sky.
Become a top aristocratic family, but at this moment, Wang Jinling, the pillar of the Wang family, is resigning, and the Wang family cannot accept it.
But no one could convince Wang Jinling of his decision. Wang Jinling not only wanted to resign, but also stepped down as the head of the Wang family.
"It doesn't matter whether I am the head of the family or not. As long as I, Wang Jinling, live one day, no one in the world will dare to look down on the Wang family. But what about the future? You should learn to go on your own. I can't always protect the Wang family."
Wang Jinling is definitely a famous person. When he said he would resign, he resigned cleanly and never asked about the affairs of the court again. When he said he would no longer be the head of the Wang family, he handed over all the rights in his hands, including the people he had cultivated privately in the past few years.
All were handed over to the new head of the family.
"Unless the Wang family is exterminated, don't come to me." This is what Wang Jinling said to the Wang family. After leaving these words, he packed up his things and moved to a thatched house outside the city.
This thatched cottage was the place where he lived longest when he was blind, and it was also the home he chose for himself. No matter how far he went, he would eventually come back to the place.
A sea of flowers, a thatched house, a room of sunshine, a cup of tea, an ancient book, and a famous person, this is the rest of life Wang Jinling has chosen for himself.
"Why bother?" On the first day Wang Jinling moved in, Feng Qingchen came and stood outside the thatched house, meeting Wang Jinling's eyes with a layer of mist in his eyes.
"It's not bitter." With a calm smile, Wang Jinling held a plate of freshly washed grapes in front of Feng Qingchen: "Have a taste."
He couldn't forget the woman eating grapes happily in the courtyard of Feng Mansion; he couldn't forget it at all...
He kept telling himself that he should let go of himself, but if feelings can be freely controlled, then they are no longer feelings. Wang Jinling knew that he could not let go, so he decided to let himself go, and came to the thatched cottage where he first met Feng Qingchen to spend his time.
