Chapter 539 Talking about the Big Picture

Chapter 539 Talking about the Big Picture

Thinking of Ning Fengzhe's character, Gu Yuanqiong remained calm and expressed his opinion.

"Mr. Ning, there is no need to test it."

"I am a prince, not an emperor, much less a king. I will always be a minister of Yan, and I have no ambition to take the throne of the emperor."

Ning Fengzhe has the bearing of a unicorn, phoenix and orchid.

"I am not testing you for your Majesty, but for my father, to seek some peace and stability."

Gu Yuanqiong became somewhat interested and tried to test Ning Fengzhe's true intentions.

"Tell me, why is your father uneasy?"

Ning Fengzhe spoke the truth with ease.

"There are many rumors outside. I can hide it from the harem, but I can't hide it from you two. Your Highness knows where my father is in trouble."

When talking about Ning Hanwang, there was always a hint of disrespect in Gu Yuanqiong's tone.

"The situation is easy to resolve, but he is at a loss. Instead, he is able to seize Beizhaotai?"

"Master Ning, are you still telling me a joke?"

Ning Fengzhe gave a reasonable explanation.

"Everyone has different ambitions and talents. My father's strengths are not at home, but in the court."

As the conversation went on, he said something encouraging.

"If Your Highness joins forces with my father, you will be invincible and unstoppable."

Gu Yuanqiong calmly and frankly analyzed the current political situation.

"My father set up a plan to conquer the country and declared that he would always be Yan's minister. I understand his deep meaning. He just wanted to use the princes and princesses to check and balance King Di Jin. When the situation changes, he will reap the benefits."

"We have tried our best and worked hard for him, but the result is that we will not only lose the throne, but also our life and death."

"The late emperor's will allowed him to rule the country. He has the best timing. As long as King Di Jin dies and it's not his fault, he will be able to rule the country. After that, he can choose whoever he wants as the heir. Without any constraints, he can do whatever he wants."

"Those who disobey orders will be powerless to resist no matter what the plan is. Because if they win, they will be unjust and unjust, and they will fall into the abyss after only a few years of sitting back and enjoying the good life; if they lose, they will be despised by the people, and it will be recorded in history books that they have treasonous intentions. The comments of future generations can be imagined."

After listening to him looking into the future and revealing the mysteries, Ning Fengzhe realized that his wisdom and talent were well-deserved.

"On the surface, this plan has great benefits. I deeply believe that all the princes and princesses will choose to go all out."

Gu Yuanqiong is a generally cheerful and cheerful person. He is good at talking about the overall situation, has a lot of strategies, has his own insights and is far-sighted.

"They may be hoping for the best, thinking that the emperor will choose them, but I am different."

"Being a minister of Yan, I enjoy honor. When King Di Jin grows up and ascends the throne, I will be mediocre and become a meritorious minister."

"If you lose after fighting for it, you will be infamous forever."

During the conversation, he felt that Ning Fengzhe was a thoughtful and knowledgeable person. He could not help but look at him with new eyes and subconsciously explored his talent.

"Tell me, I have no intention of fighting in the government, so why would I want to seize Beizhaotai?"

Sensing his intention, Ning Fengzhe responded carefully.

"Your Highness is very insightful. I am deeply impressed."

"But in my humble opinion, the other princes and princesses may have changed their minds, or it may be luck; Your Highness, as the eldest prince, should be the most likely to gain the emperor's favor, and should not give up easily."

Gu Yuanqiong smiled suddenly.

"Ah……"

Ning Fengzhe was confused and puzzled.

"Excuse me, Your Highness, why are you laughing?"

As if he had the intention of appeasing him, Gu Yuanqiong talked heartily without any reservation.

"The death of King Di Jin has something to do with a certain prince or princess. At that time, the subjects will definitely discuss it. The choice of the crown prince by your father is particularly crucial. If you make the prince or princess the crown prince, it will inevitably arouse suspicion. Father and son are working together to plot for the Yan clan to rule the world, so..."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xue Yie stopped it in time.

"Qiong'er, shut up."

"No nonsense."

Ning Fengzhe listened carefully and was worried.

The eldest prince's words were definitely not groundless, and it was obvious that he had found out something.

When your father chooses a crown prince, does he want to choose someone with a royal family surname?

Could it be me, or He'er? Impossible.

I didn't notice any signs of this during our daily interactions. Father treated us no differently than other members of the royal family.

Based on this speculation, other princes and princesses from aristocratic families or common people would also have no chance of inheriting the throne.

Could it be that my father has other relatives who are still alive?

Zhuang Shao is my father’s best friend. He privately calls me “my dear brother” and tells me to respectfully address him as “Imperial Uncle”.

My father was particularly concerned about the authenticity of his identity. When I first met my uncle, he asked me to pay attention to his knife scars.

Could he be my father's biological brother?

In the emperor's heart, the crown prince shall be him or his child?

Gu Yuanqiong sipped his tea and spoke for a long time as his thoughts drifted away before he asked a question.

"Tell me, what good plan does your father have?"

Ning Fengzhe offered advice in a solemn and serious manner, without smiling.

"Most of the people in Beizhaotai are the followers of the criminal Fang Renshu. Although there are occasional conflicts between master and disciple, the dead are the greatest. As Fang Renshu traveled west, all conflicts were resolved."

"Once a teacher, always a parent. Even if Fang Renshu is gone, his voice, appearance and virtues will still remain in Beizhaotai. As long as Your Highness, regardless of your own safety, resolutely stands on the side of Fang Renshu, clears his grievances and seeks a posthumous title and honor for him, there is no need to succeed. The people of Beizhaotai will surrender without a leader."

Unable to bear the fact that he was playing dumb, as if treating him as an idiot, Gu Yuanqiong spoke directly out.

"It's a good idea, but the words are a bit childish."

"Is this your father's good plan, or yours?"

Since he was seen through, Ning Fengzhe simply took off his disguise.

"Your Highness is wise and can make the distinction. Why should I say more?"

Seeing that he admitted it, Gu Yuanqiong was very pleased with himself and continued to discuss the plan.

"If they don't surrender, my life will be in danger."

"You are here to vent your father's anger, so just say a few words, why do you want to take my life? Master Ning, you have such a cruel heart."

Ning Fengzhe spoke frankly and honestly.

"Your Highness is as clear as a mirror. When faced with the righteous cause, they will certainly lend a helping hand. With your talent, you are enough to win over the hearts of the people. Once they take action, they will be helpless and it will be difficult for them to withdraw."

Catching the opportunity, Gu Yuanqiong made a sarcastic remark.

"What if they are as conscienceless as you? What should I do?"

Ning Fengzhe was scolded by him for no reason, and a hint of annoyance flashed across his deep eyes.

"Your Highness seems to enjoy bickering?"

Gu Yuanqiong raised his eyebrows and smiled, as if it was a matter of course.

"You want to kill me, and I just scolded you a few times, isn't that too much?"

Ning Fengzhe suppressed his temper and tried to be patient.

"Throughout history, great things have always been accomplished at the risk of one's life. Your Highness has great ideas but no courage, how can you succeed?"

Gu Yuanqiong's irritating expression did not show any sign of abating.

"Humph, you're talking back at me. Don't you like bickering yourself?"

Ning Fengzhe turned a deaf ear and concentrated on explaining the strategy.

"Your Highness's talent and knowledge were exposed too early, and the Emperor has become wary of him."

"Your Highness, the Second Prince, will grow up gradually. One day, he will be favored by the Emperor and will be able to check and balance Prince Di Jin. By then, Your Highness will have a hard time gaining a foothold. It would be better for you to leave the capital and stay out of it, so as to prove to the world that if Prince Di Jin gets into trouble in the future, it has nothing to do with you."

"Your Highness can stay outside and secretly observe and collect evidence to prove that the emperor and his son are conspiring and intend to be disloyal. When the time is ripe, Your Highness will bring the officials of Beizhaotai, raise an army in the name of the Fang clan, return to the capital, kill the traitors, and achieve great success."

"It is a natural outcome, and it is what everyone wants. Your Highness's great cause will be established from this."
