Mo Zhennian frowned and shouted, "Have you said you would fight against the King of Wu? Besides, you are not the one who leads the army... You must do the war with Your Majesty and the court, and you must understand the future of the war. As the King of Wu said, professional things must be left to professionals!"

"Who is my father referring to?"

Mo Zhinian glanced at Mo Chenbo and slowly uttered three words, "Liao, Zhong, Ping!"

"Liao Zhongping..." Mo Chenbo said in surprise, "...Can he obey his father?"

Yes, with Liao Zhongping's official position at this time, he can't stop selling it.

But, many times, no matter how high an official position is, it has to be controlled by others. Not, to be precise, by... silver!

Mo Zhongping was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, and Mo Zhongnian had been in Jiangnan for many years. To put it too much, the emperor had to listen to Mo Zhongnian in some matters. Liao Zhongping was in charge of the Zuoying. Although the military power was in control, wouldn’t the food and wages have to be passed by Mo Zhongnian?

Especially when the price of the Chamber of Commerce shares is sluggish, the emperor's "private money" is trapped and the officials' salaries are not settled, so the food and salary of the left and right camps cannot be seen Mo Zunian's expression?

Mo Zhinian answered his son this way, "He may not obey me, but he must obey His Majesty, and how can His Majesty bypass the silver..."

Money is a good thing, and it can make ghosts push!

....

That night.

In the palace city, the palace of Jingshen.

"What do you think is their real intention...?"

Zhu Chenyu browed slightly, "I still can't see it yet, they have any disagreement!"

Liao Zhongping, who stood with a stern hand, lowered his head slightly and said respectfully: "In my opinion, don't obsess with the military machine cabinet and stretch out your hand... This alone is enough to prove his wolf ambition!"

Zhu Chenyu shook her head, "He is a minister... Besides, he didn't come forward in person, right?"

"But it's obvious that Xu Xiang came to find Chen just because he was encouraged by Mo Zunnian!"

"Don't worry about these!" Zhu Chenyu asked with her cheeks, "I just want to ask you, if the left and right battalions of the imperial court do not participate in this war, can they win this war with the military power of the King of Wu?"

Liao Zhongping was silent for a while. After a while, he looked up and said, "I dare not speak nonsense... Logically speaking, the military strength in the hands of the King of Wu is enough to deal with the possible invading enemies. Even if the naval battle is set, the strength of the Northern Expedition Army is enough to block the enemy from the coast... But 600% of the elite troops of the Northern Expedition Army are on the front line of Hejian Prefecture at this time, and it will take at least half a month to return south... The key is that the King of Wu did not order to recall the Northern Expedition Army in Jiangbei, but instead ordered the Fenglei Cavalry to go north... I really don't understand the King of Wu's thoughts!"

"Can it be... he changed his mind and wanted to compete with me for the world?" Zhu Chenyu said leisurely.

"This..." Liao Zhongping lowered his head and said, "I dare not speak!"

"In this palace, there are only me and Liao Aiqing... but it's okay!"

"It's... I've been under the command of the King of Wu for many years... I think this is unlikely!"

“Why?”

"Your Majesty, if the King of Wu really changes his mind and wants to fight for the world with Your Majesty, then the most important thing to do at this time is to transfer the Fenglei Cavalry to Suzhou and Changzhou, which is enough to restrain the left and right camps, why should the left camp be transferred to the river bank? In addition, the King of Wu should quickly send an order to Shuntian Mansion to refuse or delay the handover of the city defense with the Marquis of Shaoxing. However, according to the mansion report I received early this morning, the handover of the city defense is in an orderly manner... Also, don't Your Majesty think that at this time, the King of Wu wants to go to war with the foreign fleet, isn't he causing trouble?"

Liao Zhongping's words make a lot of sense. If Wu Zheng really wants to compete for the world, then the most important thing at this time is to ease the relationship with the foreign people. Even if it is temporary, all forces should be gathered to form a siege corresponding to the Tianfu and surrounding areas.

Zhu Chenyu nodded slowly, "What Liao Qing said is reasonable... I want to ask, if according to Xu Fuyuan's advice, the Zuoying will remain unmoved and recall the troops of the Shaoxing Hou, or a unit... what will the King of Wu react? What adverse effects will it have on the wars in the outer sea?"

Liao Zhongping thought, "For my personal opinion... the King of Wu will definitely order the Fenglei Cavalry who is heading north to stop the troops of Shaoxing Hou from moving south. In this way, it is likely to trigger a fight between the two sides... It will also cause the King of Wu to fall into a dilemma of fighting on both sides..."

"Will the King of Wu be defeated?"

"I... I'm not sure, but... if there is a strong enough elite force at this time, from Yingtian Prefecture and attack Hangzhou Prefecture directly... the King of Wu is likely to be defeated!"

“Strong enough?”

"For example, the left camp and the right camp... there is actually not much force required. Taking advantage of the empty troops around Hangzhou Prefecture at that time... one or twenty thousand people are enough!"

"If the King of Wu was defeated, what situation would the Jiangnan be in?"

"This... I can't say it, but it will definitely be in chaos!"

“How messy?”

Liao Zhongping's forehead was sweating, and he unconsciously raised his hands and gently wiped it, "I... I think that by then, the guards of the Northern Expedition Army stationed in Ningbo, Chuzhou and other prefectures will quickly gather in Hangzhou... The troops of the Northern Expedition Army in Jiangbei will quickly cross the river... The navy that is fighting with the foreign fleet will also move westward from the estuary of the Yangtze River... And the most threatening to our dynasty is the Daxi Army of the King of Jin of Yongli Dynasty. The King of Wu has agreed to marry Li Haiyue, the daughter of the King of Jin. At this time, the Daxi Army will not stand by... Your Majesty forgives the crime, I dare not... continue thinking about it!"

Yes, as long as someone with a little mind and conscience will feel sad and heartbroken for what will happen next!

Zhu Chenyu suddenly smiled, her eyes seemed to sweep over intentionally or unintentionally. Pang Tianshou, who was standing with his head down from a distance, said, "Maybe, this is exactly what they want to see and hope for..."

Liao Zhongping raised his head in shock.

"Where has Duke Wei been?"

"Count the time, tomorrow should be here!"

Zhu Chenyu nodded, "I will send an order to order the Marquis of Shaoxing to go south immediately, and there must be no mistakes!"

"Your Majesty..." Liao Zhongping shouted in anxiety.

"Without my will, the Zuoying will not leave the capital!" Zhu Chenyu raised her hand, "By the way... The Duke of Wei will enter the capital tomorrow, and Liao Aiqing and Mo Xiang will go out of the city to greet us... I am tired, Liao Aiqing will take his leave!"

Liao Zhongping was shocked. He really couldn't figure out what the emperor had.

Not to mention this critical moment, transferring back to the troops of the Shaoxing Hou is very likely to trigger a firefight between the court and the King of Wu.

Just say that Duke Wei entered the capital, although the intention of summoning Duke Wei to the capital was very obvious, at least before deposing Xia Wanchun's rank as Duke Wei, Xia Wanchun was still an important official of the court, and was assisted by the Military Pavilion. Even if the emperor did not go out to greet him in person, at least he would have to lead all civil and military officials to go out to welcome him, right?

Jianyang Guard guards the western gate of the capital. If Xia Wanchun really rebels, then the Western Army will march to the bank of the Yangtze River within half a month.

The consequences of doing so will only make the battle that is already very likely to happen, come faster and more tragic!
