Chapter 1154 The crime of punishing the nine clans
But in general, he is indeed not as good as Chu Ning, a female general who has led soldiers and fought in wars in many aspects.
Besides, Chu Ning has always been better than him, both in terms of martial arts and meticulous thoughts.
Jiurao had almost full food and looked up at Su Jin: "The biggest reason why Xiang Nan wanted to marry Jun Yao is that he had the intention to rebel and had already taken action."
After the words came to an end, Su Jin was shocked: "Your Majesty is this true?"
"I don't think the news given by the Regent's Uncle will be fake." Jiu Rao's tone was calm, but it was a bit cold and stern, "He has been in the border for many years, and has raised 50,000 private soldiers."
Secretly raising private soldiers is not counted within the court's soldiers.
Su Jin: "..."
Chu Ning's expression was faint, as if he was not surprised by what Jiu Rao said.
"And." Jiurao picked up the teacup slowly and drank a sip of flower tea. "The army of Daxia is not strong. With Xiang Nan's strategy and tactics, Daxia can be beaten and subdued at most two years ago, so that they dare not invade Lingguo again. But Xiang Nan did not do this. Instead, he spent nine years, seemingly guarding the border, but in fact he wasted time meaninglessly and wasting the imperial court's manpower and financial resources - of course, only he knew how much of this financial resources was put into his own pocket."
Su Jin was silent for a moment and said lightly: "War continues for a day, and the court will continue to provide food, grass and military pay, and he, a general, can also use the opportunity of war to accumulate military achievements. His power will grow day by day. Even if His Majesty takes power in the future, he will have to be afraid of him."
Although there are garrisons at the border, when there is no war, the soldiers can integrate into the lives of ordinary people, and participate in farming production and be self-sufficient in training.
The war continues all day long, and in addition to ensuring sufficient troops and horses, the annual cost of borders is really a considerable expense for the court.
In nine years, it was easy for Xiang Nan to fill his personal pockets and raise his private soldiers.
"Xiang Nan committed a serious crime to kill the Nine clans." A sneer appeared on the corner of his lips. Jiu Rao leaned in the chair, his voice clear and tender. "He was worried that the story of Dongzun was revealed - of course, it was only a matter of time before the story of Dongzun was revealed, so he needed to make careful preparations in advance."
Su Jin was silent, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Chu Ning was also silent.
Comprehensive preparation?
Xiang Nan thought it was easier, but his careful preparation was not as simple as he thought it was?
He committed the crime of killing the nine clans, and it was not possible to escape freely with the plan of being more thorough, and it was even more impossible for the emperor to compromise with him. Zixi ignored the opposition of the ministers and insisted on making Jiu Rao the crown prince, and directly issued an edict to pass the throne, allowing his daughter to ascend the throne to the throne.
The purpose is not to make his daughter bullied by a hero.
If Jiu Rao had not been the emperor, no matter whether she was a man or a daughter, Zixi would not have watched Jiangshan be ruined in her hands.
Besides, behind Jiurao is the Regent, Chu Chen, Su Jin and Chu Ning.
The Xiang family has been in great momentum over the years, but if they really want to fight head-on, he will not be able to see enough in front of Nan Mohao - even Chu Ning, who has lived in seclusion for several years, can make him die ugly.
Of course, Chu Ning is also a woman, so Xiang Nan probably never took Chu Ning seriously.
A man who looks down on a woman...
