Liu Yuanxiang met with the envoy of Emperor Wen at the official office, and the civil and military officials were all nervous.

Ning Ze was as always. Unlike the people of this era, he did not have much awe of imperial power, let alone just a puppet supported by the princes.

The envoy of Emperor Wen entered the hall and stepped forward and bowed to the end: "Left Central Army General Ding Ji, pay homage to the princess!"

"General, please get up!" Liu Yuanxiang looked at the messenger standing below.

"Thank you Your Highness!" Ding Ji then stood up and raised his head.

"What are you doing when the Central Army is coming to our Hua County?" Liu Yuanxiang asked.

Ding Ji bowed and replied: "Liang Yiyi thief caused trouble in the world, causing turmoil in the court. Emperor You died and Zhou Yu established the fake emperor Liu Xian, but his heart was not right. Your Majesty and his strength turned the tide, restored the orthodox, and restored the people to a clear world! Hearing that Your Highness rose from Hua County, he showed his majesty the great royal family. Everyone knows the name of your benevolence and righteousness. Your Majesty is very happy! The princess is the daughter of the late emperor, and she is close to your siblings. If she works together, she will be able to calm the chaos and the country will be stable."

Liu Yuanxiang turned her head and looked at Ning Ze next to her.

Ning Ze nodded slightly to her, then said, "Emperor Wen and Emperor Shun are all from Emperor You's bloodline. They are half-brothers, and their blood is thicker than water. The two Majesties compete for the throne, which makes our Lord very embarrassed!"

"This one is..." Ding Ji turned to Ning Ze and saw him sitting on the right side of Liu Yuanxiang, facing Liang Teng, must be the princess confidant.

"Ning Ze, the governor of Huajun County, is favored by the lord, and he also serves as a military advisor!" Ning Ze bowed with a smile.

"It turns out to be the Military Advisor Ning, I have long admired him!" Ding Ji immediately bowed and returned the favor, "Your Majesty is gentle and wise, and loves the people as a son. He is a wise ruler in the world! The fake emperor Liu Xian is willing to be a puppet of Zhou Yu, which is a humiliating the majesty of the royal family. Zhou Yu wants to use the fake emperor Liu Xian to control the government, but his heart is punished. Your Majesty wants to ask the princess to work together to defeat Zhou Yu, break his ambitions, and return me to a bright world!"

"This..." Liu Yuanxiang thought to herself, you said so passionately, but Emperor Wen Liu De is also a puppet, what's the difference?

Ning Ze said: "The previous rebel thief Yang Ran caused a rebellion, Ju, Ba, Turhe and our Hua County coalition forces were together, and it was wiped out after several battles. Now Jinzhou is in short supply, and the people are suffering. The lord ordered to rest and resume production, and he was unwilling to start the war easily. What's more, Emperor Shun and Emperor Wen are all close relatives, and the lord does not want to see his brothers tragically. Please ask the General of the Central Army to reply to Emperor Wen. If the soldiers can be put down, the three brothers and sisters will discuss in person to jointly quell the chaos in the world. It is a blessing for the people!"

Ding Ji looked at Ning Ze: "Your Highness is known to everyone. However, the traitor Zhou Yui controls the fake emperor Liu Xian, and this matter cannot be accomplished. If you don't go abroad, the world will be difficult to settle! Please ask the princess to remember the love between brothers and brothers, and to help Your Majesty! Your Highness sends troops to fight against the traitor Zhou Yui, this is a great thing!"

Liu Yuanxiang looked at Ning Ze, who shook his head slightly.

So she said to Ding Ji: "Emperor Shun and Emperor Wen are all close relatives of this palace. How can we help each other as Dacheng royal family?"

"Your Highness!" Ding Ji immediately said, "The fake emperor Liu Xian is a puppet of Zhou Hyun and has lost the face of the royal family. Only when we eliminate the traitor Zhou Hyun can we preserve the dignity of the royal family."

"This..." Liu Yuanxiang lowered her head and thought.

"The General of the Central Army is right!" Ning Ze said, "It's just that Yang Ran was in rebellion. In order to suppress the thief, our army was exhausted from rations and could not continue."

"Your Majesty ordered me to bring 300,000 shi of military rations and 5,000 gold," Ding Ji bowed, "it can be used for military expenses."

"Your Majesty is intent!" Ning Ze smiled, "Please stay in Hua County for a while and let my Lord think carefully. This matter is of great importance and must be thoughtful."

"It should be like this."

Ningze sent people to receive the gold and military rations brought by Ding Ji and arranged him to the inn in the city.

After the arrangement was made, Liu Yuanxiang asked Ning Ze privately: "Why did the military advisor receive money and grain? Could it be that he really wanted to assist Liu De and send troops to fight against Liu Xian?"

"The internal affairs of Jinzhou are the first priority. Consolidating the hearts of the people of the seven counties, recruiting soldiers and horses to strengthen the power is what we should do now. What does Liu Xian and Liu De have to do with the lord's dispute between the pseudo-emperor?" Ning Ze said with a smile.

Liu Yuanxiang asked in confusion: "Since that's the case, why do the military advisors have money and food?"

"Since it's delivered to the door, why refuse?"

"You mean, if you accept money and food but don't help him? How do the people in the world view this palace? People are based on integrity. How can they convince the public without integrity?"

"Don't worry, lord!" Ning Ze smiled, "You can agree at this time and send the envoy of Emperor Wen first. Some people will use excuses to refuse to send troops, and they will not harm the lord's reputation and scenic spots!"

"Oh? I hope to hear it carefully."

"The seven counties in Jinzhou have not yet returned to their hearts, and there will be chaos in the middle. Or there may be natural disasters. How can the lord and righteous people sit down and watch the people suffer? How easy is it to find excuses?"

Liu Yuanxiang said in embarrassment: "Even so, it is still a breach of trust in this palace."

"My lord can rest assured!" Ning Ze smiled, "Ding Ji will definitely go to the Xiaguan Mansion to bribe gold and silver. At that time, the Xiaguan will promote this matter. In the future, the Xiaguan will also do the breach of trust and will not involve the lord."

"No!" Liu Yuanxiang shook his head quickly, "How can a military advisor lose his reputation?"

"Lord," Ning Ze replied, "Famousness is not important to the lower officials. The lord's name of benevolence and righteousness must not be lost! Zhou Yu, the Emperor Shun Liu Xian, and Lu Gong, the Emperor Wen Liu De, are all ministers who seize power. Liu Xian, and Liu De, are like this, and it is natural for the lord to have a minister who seized power around him! In the future, such stigma will be borne by the lower officials, and all benevolence and righteousness will be carried out by the lord. Be loyal to the inner officials and the outer officials are Zhou Yu, and Lu Gong. The only thing the lord has to do is trust the lower officials..."

"No!" Liu Yuanxiang said hurriedly, "The military advisor is not Zhou Yu. How can Lu Gong slander himself? It can be seen that such traitors will be hated by knowledgeable people in the world!"

"Lord!" Ning Ze smiled, "You are fighting for the world as a woman, and there are many difficulties. Now Dacheng still remembers the orthodox emperor of the late emperor? If you want to break this situation, it is feasible to make absurd things work, and it must be like this! On the surface, the lord is controlled by the lower officials and is not accepted by the world, all things done by the lower officials. To break Dacheng and recast the world, so that the lord can be justified, it also needs the lower officials to break the rules. Only in this way can the lord perform the benevolence and righteousness, and the lower officials will act against it. The lord cannot attack Emperor Shun, Emperor Wen, the lower officials can! The lord cannot break the old rules of the world, and the lower officials can! Therefore, when encountering such difficult-to-decide things, you can hand them over to the lower officials!"

"Military advisor, do you know that these words are so ruthless!" Liu Yuanxiang changed his face, "If the people in the world know, how can you forgive you?"

"Before this, it's enough to make the world unable to do anything!" Ning Ze said, "It's just that the lord needs to fully trust the lord and believe that the lord has a sincere heart! Everything you do is to make the lord able to gain the lord!"

"Military advisor!" Liu Yuanxiang shook his head and said, "If you want to slander yourself, I will not allow it! The military advisor is not Zhou Yu. How can a traitor like Lu Cong bear the infamy?"

Facing Liu Yuanxiang's unwilling eyes, Ning Ze stood up in front of her: "The victorious writes history! The strong decides everything. As long as the subordinate is strong enough to help the lord win, the so-called infamy will disappear and may even become a beautiful story. This is reality! As long as you control public opinion and get the right and wrong, the subordinate has the final say, and the lord can rest assured!"

"What does it mean? I can understand the first few sentences. What is the right to speak for this public opinion?" Liu Yuanxiang looked confused.

"What the officials next have to do is to do with it." Ning Ze said, "Now that paper is developed successfully, and the chamber of commerce is also spread across the sixteen states. It is time! On the one hand, we are preparing to sell paper to scholars all over the world to earn funds, and on the other hand, we also use paper to make public opinion weapons. The poor results of the recruitment order are because the thinking of the people of Dacheng has formed a fixed template, and women are in a deviant way from common sense. Therefore, it is necessary to change the common sense of the people of Dacheng little by little, so that they can constantly receive new information and update the fixed common sense in their minds. At the same time, any goal we need to achieve can be changed through public opinion."

"The military advisor's words are too profound, and I really can't understand them!" Liu Yuanxiang could not understand this modern knowledge, and he was confused.

"The lord will understand slowly. At this moment, just trust the subordinates!" Ning Ze said, "When we master public opinion and have sufficient military strength, we will naturally not be afraid of any strong enemies! The lord only needs to trust the subordinates!"

That night, Ding Ji came to visit and asked to see Ning Ze with gifts.

Ning Ze received Ding Ji at home, and the two sides had a great conversation.

The next day, Liu Yuanxiang summoned Ding Ji at the official office: "Emperor Shun and Emperor Wen are both close relatives of our palace. After thinking for a night, the palace really cannot favor anyone. General of the Central Army, please report back to Emperor Wen that brothers and relatives should be the most important thing and the people should be the most important. It is better to stop wars between the two emperors. This palace is willing to talk about peace for the two emperors!"

Ding Ji hurriedly turned to Ning Ze and winked.

Ning Ze nodded to him, stood up and said, "The lord is wrong. Emperor Wen follows the will of heaven and joins with him as the right way! The lower officials think that they should join forces with Lu Cong to attack Zhou Yu! What do you think?"

He had already said hello, and Liang Teng was the leader of the scene, and all the civil and military officials in Huajun knew what was going on.

Liang Teng stood up and bowed: "The officer thought the military advisor's words were reasonable. No matter how long it was, he should unite with Emperor Wen!"

"The lower official (the last general) agreed!!" All the civil and military officials on both sides came out and responded in unison.

When Ding Ji saw Liu Yuanxiang at a loss, he thought that this Princess Yuanxi was indeed a cover, and Ning Ze was the one who really controlled the entire Jinzhou.

It seems that I have to report truthfully to the Prime Minister when I go back...

Although Liu Yuanxiang opposed it, Ning Ze and civil and military officials agreed and successfully reached an alliance agreement with Emperor Wen, and agreed to send troops next month to fight Zhou Yu together.

After receiving the reply, Ding Ji immediately left Huajun and rushed back to Chizhou with a quick horse.

In less than three days, the envoy of Emperor Shun arrived.

Liu Yuanxiang was very nervous just now.

Ning Ze asked her to rest and summoned civil and military officials to meet the envoy of Emperor Shun immediately to see what Zhou Xu said.

When soldiers come, generals come to block them, water comes to cover them.
