Can be stable for a period of time

Some things should not be too radical, and the best effect is to relax one by one.

"The emperor's plan was successful this time, and I can take a good rest for a while."

On this day, in Chengyuan Villa, King Jin was leisurely drinking the tea that Lu Yaoyao had made and pushed it in front of him.

"That's good, but the Duke of Zhen has suffered such a big loss this time. Can he be willing to do so?"

"What can we do if we don't give in? The matter is already a foregone conclusion."

"And given the current situation, he should be very aware that if he makes one mistake, his appeal will not be as strong as before."

"If my guess is correct, I'm afraid he will be more at ease in the future."

Indeed, Lu Yaoyao has been paying attention to the development of this matter these days. As King Jin said, Duke Zhenguo is a mute eating coptis this time and cannot tell the story of his sufferings.

Things are already like this, and even if you want to remedy the situation, it won't happen overnight.

Moreover, with Emperor Hongwen watching, if he wanted to make amends, he had to have a chance.

"What about Xirong? This time the Duke of Zhenguo suffered such a big loss, Xirong should make up for it a lot, right?"

Hearing this, King Jin smiled, put down his teacup and said, "The Royal Court of Xirong is now unable to protect itself. Although your plan has been suppressed a little, the aftermath is still not small."

"Moreover, a larger tribe has already turned against the Xirong Royal Court in this incident. Now the Xirong Royal Court is getting help from Dongzhou."

"Those large tribes are also afraid of settling scores in the future, and now they plan to unite and continue to compete with the Xirong Royal Court."

"I'm afraid that it will be difficult for Xirong to have a peaceful life in a short time. Even if the Xirong Royal Court does not handle it well, it will be replaced."

"Of course the latter will be difficult."

Lu Yaoyao nodded. It was indeed difficult. The Royal Court of Xirong could dominate Xirong for so many years. How could it be a simple person?

Even though they suffered a lot from what happened this time, the appeal of the Royal Court still exists.

"How do you say that Duke Zhen Guo lost his wife and lost his troops this time?"

"That's not entirely true. At least the line of Xirong is preserved, isn't it? And Prince Ning also has a beautiful concubine."

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao was happy. Thinking about it, this is indeed the case.

Two days ago, Cheng Lixue came to play with her. This know-it-all told her that Prince Ning was very fond of Naya's concubine recently.

She is even more favored than the concubine.

Moreover, I heard that the main concubine had made trouble in the past, but Prince Ning's attitude was biased towards Concubine Naya.

Many people felt that Prince Ning was also mentally ill.

Why did you choose the legitimate daughter of the Wu family to be your concubine in the first place? Now that you spoil your concubine and kill your wife for a princess from Xirong, aren't you afraid that the gain outweighs the loss?

In response to this, many people who were originally optimistic about Prince Ning and prepared to take refuge in him stopped their actions.

It is not a good choice to follow such a master who is not clear-headed.

"The Duke and the Queen don't care about them?"

"Control? The Duke of Zhen is still resentful of Prince Ning. How can he go back and take care of him?"

Indeed, a large part of the reason why Duke Zhen Guo was cheated this time had to do with Prince Ning.

Although it is not very direct, but because of Prince Ning's relationship, Duke Zhen Guo became radical.

"As for the queen, although she was released from confinement, it was just that she was confined in a larger place."

"In today's imperial palace, it is absolutely impossible for the emperor to allow the queen to have any ears or eyes."

"As long as Prince Ning doesn't take the initiative to tell you, how could she possibly know these things?"

"Will Prince Ning go and say it?"

Obviously it was unlikely that she would go, so Queen Wang could only do nothing.

"It seems that the Duke of Houzhen doesn't have to worry too much in the future."

Things are already like this, and Emperor Hongwen will probably not give them any chance in the future.

"Well, there is no need to worry too much about Beichu and Southern Xinjiang."

"Speaking of Southern Xinjiang, I remember you said that you have a relationship with Southern Xinjiang, why can't you relax it?"

The King of Jin handled the matter of the envoys from southern Xinjiang last time very smoothly, so I think the relationship should be very good.

"Friendship and everything else are fake. Do you think the King of Southern Xinjiang doesn't know what happened last time?"

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao was startled, thought for a moment, frowned and asked, "You mean, he knows everything?"

"Then why did he."

"Because of interests, just because I need an excuse."

Lu Yaoyao thought deeply about the previous situation. Indeed, Dongzhou was in good condition at that time, and Zhen Guogong was also stationed at the border.

If Southern Xinjiang wants to launch an attack, even if they can win, they will still have to fight hard and pay a high price.

As for Beichu, the domestic situation at that time was not good, and they attacked Xirong again. The domestic troops were empty, and they only needed an excuse to send troops and catch the opponent by surprise.

In this way, you can pay less and get more benefits.

As for envoys, princes, etc., for an emperor, sometimes benefits can be exchanged.

And the situation at that time, what if the King of Jin was left behind? It was just killing one person, could the dead envoys and princes be resurrected?

Since this is already the case, why not pretend not to know and gain greater benefits?

"Actually, that can be regarded as the King of Southern Xinjiang returning the original favor."

"He's really very good at calculating."

"Get the maximum benefit and return your favor."

Hearing this, King Jin smiled and said, "Which emperor is a simple person?"

"Too."

Not all of those who can be emperors are extremely smart, but most of them are very scheming, and they are not ordinary people.

"But you can rest assured that although the King of Southern Xinjiang is ambitious, he is also a relatively conservative monarch in some aspects."

"Like launching a national war?"

Lu Yaoyao asked.

"Yes, in the past ten years or so, the situation in Dongzhou, Xirong and Beichu has not been good, but Southern Xinjiang has been developing well."

"If it were another monarch, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so peaceful."

"Indeed, does he plan to wait for Beichu to take action so that he can profit from it?"

King Jin nodded.

"This is the best way. Beichu will definitely have a battle with Dongzhou. However, the old grudges in the past and the new grudges this time will definitely not be tolerated by Beichu."

"It's just that after Beichu passed through this time, even if it wants to move, it will not be done rashly. It is estimated that there will be no action in five or six years."

Although Beichu got a lot of benefits from Xirong this time, it just started the war and it also needs time to recover.

"How can I say that I can now go about my own business in peace?"

"Yes, haven't you made most of the arrangements for your villa? Are there other things to be busy with?"

"Of course."

After that, she talked about her plan to open a clan school for the Lu family and a school in the villa.
