The atmosphere in the quaint conference hall was gloomy. Except for Wufeng who could maintain a faint smile on his face, almost everyone's face was a little cold and stiff, and there was even a hint of dissatisfaction and anger mixed in between, and a depressed aura filled the entire room.

"Your Highness, my subordinates really don't understand why your highness must enter Beijing? The situation is now clear. The Kamans and the Puer people have lost the capital to compete for hegemony with us. Now they can stay at home to take care of their injuries for less than three or five years. Situ Tai seems to have some capital on the surface, but with his economic foundation, without the financiers in the imperial capital raising funds for him, his hundreds of thousands of troops would have to dissolve themselves in three months, not to mention that in the local area, he also has a few more people in Yanyun Mansions.

In addition to some foundations, whether in the East China Sea or in the Jiangnan, the industrial and commercial class hated him to the core, and the ordinary people in the middle and lower classes did not get any benefits. Except for some conservative nobles who were deadly and hard-working, he had no ally at all. He relied entirely on force to maintain his rule, which was not enough to worry about it. As for Situ Biao, although Wuhu had some foundations, it was still not enough to support such a huge army, not to mention that his army's combat effectiveness was uneven. If he wanted to compare with our Western Xinjiang Army, it was not worth mentioning."

"While Situ Lang has four major legions, plus the Imperial Guards and the City Guards, in fact, we all know that the four major legions are purely mobs and vulnerable. However, the City Guards Yousufu is a fence-leader, and even Situ Mingyue cannot command them, let alone Situ Lang. Although the Imperial Guards now regard horse fences as the most respected, horse fences are completely different from the past. The Imperial Guards have actually fallen into an irreversible division. Now no matter which family in the empire can pose a substantial threat to us. In this great situation, Your Highness is going to be in danger. The old saying goes, the son of a thousand gold cannot sit in the hall. With His Highness's status as His Highness, he is more than ten thousand gold, why are he so persistent in going to Beijing to take a try?"

"With your highness's current momentum, there are two strategies. You must be urgent. You can fight steadily, win over one side to suppress the other side, and eat whale and swallow it. In less than five years, the southeastern land of the empire will be included in your pocket. You must be slow, sit on the mountain to watch the tiger, and then hug the surrounding areas of the other lands, so that the two Situs fight each other. Wait for the exhaustion of both sides, and do the act of stabbing the tiger in Bianzhuang. Within ten years, major events can be decided. My subordinates think that this move to Beijing is purely unnecessary, if it is as some people say for

What is the use of such vain and ethereal things? When the Situ family was established, foreign vassals raised troops and fought against each other, so why could they win the unanimous support of the people of the empire at that time? It can be seen that this magnitude is also based on strength. If there is no strength, even if the founding emperor of the Tanghe Empire is resurrected, it will be useless. With strength, even if you are a beggar and abdicated person, you can still ascend to the Nine Five!”

After a passionate remark, everyone present nodded repeatedly. Even Wufeng himself could not help but nodded slightly, agreeing with most of the other party's views, but this does not mean that Wufeng has changed his mind.

"Mr. Ling said, since the intelligence department has reflected that the three sons of Situ have a merger, their goal is naturally directed at Your Highness. Perhaps the three families are dispersed, but once they merge, their strength cannot be underestimated. But even if the three families merge, they have no chance of winning if they want to compete with our Western Xinjiang. Although this merger can only be a temporary peace in a short time, and there are irreconcilable contradictions between the parties, it proves that they have regarded Your Highness as a confidant and confronted with this kind of alliance. If Your Highness firmly lives in the northwest, their alliance is believed to be a collapse in the future, but if Your Highness enters Zhongzhou,

The risk will increase countless times. Some people may say that Your Highness can not enter the imperial capital or use a substitute, but as long as Your Highness enters Zhongzhou, he will lose control of our Western Xinjiang. Even if he brings one or two divisions, if several parties join forces to plot against Your Highness, can one or two divisions withstand the Situ family that has made up their minds?" Bo Jinchen also opposed Wu Feng's entry into Beijing. "One more thing is that Your Highness has no big marriage and has children. Once you are trapped by the other party or have unknown trends, the entire Western Xinjiang will inevitably shake the entire territory, and even trigger the spying of foreign hostile forces. Have you ever considered such serious consequences?"

Although Bo Jinchen's words are very hidden, he directly points to the core of the problem. Li Wufeng has neither a big wife nor a child, especially the problem of no child is an indelible knot. Once Li Wufeng is assassinated or captured and imprisoned by the other party, who can take charge of the overall situation? Although Li Wufeng's command is full of talents and heroes, the army does not interfere in politics and does not control the army. This is the principle set by Li Wufeng since the establishment of the Northwest-based forces. From the guard of Qingyang City to the present, the Great Protectorate and Qin Wangfu have always adhered to this principle. This principle certainly avoids the situation of dominance in one party, which makes the army lose the government's logistics support and cannot last long, while the government has no military support as a backing.

It cannot be maintained, which seems to be an extremely appropriate strategy, but this also brings a consequence, that is, no one under Wufeng's command can take the lead in the overall situation after Wufeng loses control. Neither Xiao Tang, Ling Tianfang, or Su Qin, Molun and Liang Chongxin, there is no such prestige to take charge of the overall situation. Although the government's team has a good reputation among the people in Western Xinjiang, it has always had many conflicts with the military on the issue of military expansion, and it is difficult to win the recognition of the military. As for the military's generals, they have no foundation in the local government and cannot maintain the operation of the local government. This dilemma was originally designed by Wufeng, but now it has become a huge problem that has been facing Wufeng.

Originally, as long as Wufeng has children or a eldest wife, it would be safe. The mother is noble by her son and has children. Even if Wufeng faces some kind of disaster, the ministers and generals under her command will not lose their backbone without a leader. Even if there is no descendants after a wedding, as long as Wufeng does not die, the people under her command can unite around the eldest wife and work together. However, now there are neither children nor grand marriage. How can a group of people agree to Wufeng to enter the capital easily in this situation?

"As for the plan proposed by the security department, it is not that Bo underestimated Lord Diao's subordinates. No matter how good the substitute is, can he really discuss major events with all the princes and ministers face to face? If he doesn't enter the imperial capital, what's the point of this trip to Zhongzhou? If he really reaches that point, who can stop His Highness the King of Qin from taking the risk of entering the city? Once an abnormal situation occurs after entering the city, who can bear this responsibility?"

Bo Jinchen's words made the head of the Security Bureau, Diao Su, who had always been so cunning and never showed any signs of eloquence, couldn't help but change his face slightly. The other party's words were merciless, but they also showed the seriousness and possibility of the problem. With His Highness the King of Qin, if the situation requires it, who can stop him from entering the city?!

"Xiao Tang, Su Qin, Tian Fang and Jin Chen have all given their reasons for opposing my entry into Beijing. What do you two think about this matter?" Wu Feng seemed to be mentally prepared for Ling Tianfang and Bo Jin Chen. He didn't agree and threw the topic to the two leaders of the government department.

Xiao Tang's face was deep. He naturally knew that this matter was extraordinary. His Highness, the King of Qin had already mentioned this issue to him vaguely, obviously wanting to get his support. To be honest, he was not optimistic about this trip to Beijing, especially after the three Situ sons showed a trend of convergence, the risk of this trip to Beijing was too high. Although there were many auxiliary preventive measures, they were passive strategies and limited by many external factors. At this time, Wufeng called him, but it was difficult to refuse.

"Your Highness, you don't really understand the significance and purpose of your insistence on entering the imperial capital. Is this trip to the imperial capital really so important? Compared with our current situation, I really can't see the necessity of this trip to the imperial capital? What Your Highness is talking about is nothing more than encouraging and persuading the aristocratic forces representing the upper class of the empire. This is of course important, but I also think it is not as important as the level of taking such a great risk. Therefore, unless Your Highness gives you a sufficient reason for your subordinates, it will be difficult for you to agree with Your Highness's ideas, just like the two masters Ling Bo."

Wufeng was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Xiao Tang would do this for him at this time. Although he knew that the other party was considering his safety, it was obviously not in line with his hint to him at the beginning, which made Wufeng a little angry.

"Su Qin, do you have this opinion too?" His tone became stiff, and almost everyone could hear the displeasure in Wufeng's words.

"When you go back to your highness, your subordinates agree with Lord Xiao. Unless your highness gives you a sufficient reason, you will think that this trip to the imperial capital is unnecessary!" Su Qin was not frightened by the other party's tough tone and replied without hesitation.

The silence in the living room was as dead as everyone's breathing was clearly heard. This was probably the first time in history that Wufeng's opinion had been rejected by everyone under his command. Moreover, the attitudes of the military and political parties were so consistent, the focus of the problem seemed to be one place, that is, the risk of entering Beijing far exceeded the necessity of entering Beijing. It was as ridiculous as a person who could not swim jumped into the river to pick up a needle. If it was just to show sincerity and attitude to win over those hesitant nobles, it would be completely unnecessary.

Wu Feng's eyes were on everyone's faces, and the astonishing attitudes made Wu Feng hesitate. Although Diao Su and the intelligence department had made many preparations before, as these people said, the risk was too high. This time, the information showed that the Situ family wanted to let themselves have no chance to escape once they entered the imperial capital, and they would even eradicate themselves at all costs. Is this risk really worth it?
