Chapter 286 Six Nations and Seven Stars

"The six kingdoms are united? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" Ning Weiyuan laughed, "Second brother, with the little power of Daqi, do you want the whole continent to obey your orders?"

Ning Qianshi did not laugh.

He just stared at his elder brother quietly until his laughter faded a little bit.

The prince realized something was wrong. In addition to conquering one city after another, the Gao Kingdom army on the border did not seem to have any news of looting. And the Xu Kingdom heavy cavalry that disappeared for a long time and suddenly appeared in the capital - without baggage and backup, they could carry out covert operations in a foreign land. In addition to having someone to support them in the country, their own restraint and strict discipline were also very important conditions.

The question is, why would the invading enemy restrain themselves?

"Brother, of course they are not following my orders. They are all following the orders of their respective Privy Councils." The second prince said frankly, "Also, this is not a plan for the future. After Qi is incorporated, this puzzle will be 80% complete. The last piece is Mao. Now the armies of Feng and Qi are carrying out their tasks there - just like what happened in Qi."

"How... how is this possible!?" Ning Weiyuan was stunned, "When did this start?"

"Specifically, the action began decades ago, but if you want to say when this idea came up, it should be shortly after the fall of Yong Dynasty and the pacification of evil spirits in various places."

"Ridiculous, you were not even born at that time!"

"This plan is naturally not caused by me. In fact, when I came into contact with it, it had been secretly promoted for a long time."

If you want to talk about surprise, Xia Fan's surprise is not much less than Ning Weiyuan.

Although it is said that long-term division will eventually unite and long-term unity will eventually divide, not long after the collapse of Yong State, the alchemists began to conceive the possibility of reunification, which shows that they all think that it is better to unite than to divide. If that's the case, why did they choose to help these first-generation monarchs to fight against Prince Yong in the beginning?

In the past, it was the era of listeners, and half of the people sitting in the court were Qi Sensers. Even if Prince Yong was tyrannical, it was better than not being able to touch the government now.

"Does father know about this?" The prince gritted his teeth.

"Before the Wanjing Tower incident, he only knew part of the inside story - such as the existence of the Heavenly Dao in the world. That was also the most serious damage he committed to the Privy Council. After that, the Privy Council purged the internal opponents, and I also began to take over the affairs of the Privy Council from that time." Ning Qianshi lowered his voice, "Father was unable to recover after that. Although he thought of using the aristocratic family to fight against the Privy Council, for us, the aristocratic family itself is a part of what needs to be abolished, and his little thoughts are not enough to worry about."

"Why, he is your biological father!" Ning Weiyuan roared.

Ning Qianshi sighed, "Brother, when you and the ambassador of the Islands, Olina Okan, used the technique of instructing the emperor, did you regard him as your father? More importantly, I believe I am on the right path."

"Humph, everyone will find a good reason for themselves before doing something wrong." The prince sneered.

The second prince did not refute him, but turned to look at Xia Fan, "I wonder what you think of this ambassador of the Islands today?"

What do you think?

Xia Fan thought about it, and based on the first impression, apart from being a little stupid, the rest is strong.

After all, in order to deal with her, the Privy Council sent a lot of Qingjian Yuyi, and its formation is probably not much less than that against the listener.

"A tough opponent." He replied.

"Yes, and she is just an ambassador." Ning Qianshi took a breath, "What if I say that the upper nobles in the West have similar strength?"

As soon as this sentence came out, even Yan Qing and others showed surprise.

"Your Highness, are you sure?"

"I remember that not only Daqi, but these overseas countries have sent more than one ambassador to the Central Plains, right?"

"Do they have too many talents to use?"

Ning Qianshi waved his hand, "This is the information I just learned. The situation in the Western Extreme has changed so much from a hundred years ago that our true understanding of them is actually very limited. For example, the Holy Wing Islands, which was only a remote corner during the prosperous period of the Yong Dynasty, has now become the hegemon of the Western Extreme."

"There are still constant wars there, but judging from the fact that they have the energy to send envoys to the mainland, I guess it won't be long before the Western Extreme countries will reach a new balance. By then, this area will become a new point of confrontation - whether you like it or not, this is inevitable in the times."

When saying this, Ning Qianshi's eyes were always on Xia Fan.

"Isn't this something everyone has known for a long time?"

"We are standing here to fight against them."

Xia Fan realized that this was the second prince explaining it specifically for him.

"There are two pieces of information that can be confirmed at present - one, their rapid rise is by no means accidental, and the "god" point is of great importance. Second, through the connection with the "gods", most of their Qi-sensing people can perform divine arts without having to reach a high level. And the demons who are superior are all like this. It is precisely because of this that they have become opponents that cannot be underestimated in a few decades. "

"The superiors in the West... are all demons?" Xia Fan asked.

"There may be some exceptions, but the vast majority are. These demons are centered around families and constitute the aristocratic class of the countries in the West." Ning Qianshi spread his hands and said, "Now you understand the situation facing the Central Plains Continent, right? ? On one side are the unfamiliar ethnic groups that are constantly expanding and becoming stronger, and on the other are the mainland countries that are divided into six regions and are independent. This is why the Privy Council must work together to resist the crisis that may come in the future. In other words, if we divide, we will die, if we gather, we will live!”

Having said this, he looked at Ning Weiyuan, "Now do you understand why I chose the Privy Council Palace instead of the dragon chair in the Hall of Supreme Harmony?"

"Ha, you are the winner, so of course you can say whatever you want." The prince clenched his fists, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he picked up the bowl of black tea on the table.

But before he could drink it, Yan Qing had already thrown out the chain in his hand and smashed the bowl into pieces.

Tea spilled over half of Ning Weiyuan's body.

After he was stunned for a moment, he suddenly showed an extremely angry expression, "Ning Qianshi! What do you mean? I don't want to pay attention to those big principles that the Privy Council talks about. You can say whatever you like. But even so, you still Not satisfied, do you want to humiliate me further?"

"There is poison in the tea, right?" Ning Qianshi sighed, "Why is this necessary? Whether it is father or you, I don't want to harm your lives."

"Then put us under house arrest in a place where we will never see the sun for a lifetime, and have to accept your humiliation from time to time?" Ning Weiyuan yelled, "Even if I lose to you, you can't ask me to beg for mercy!"

"How could it be, brother?" Ning Qianshi said word by word, "I promised before that I would help you ascend to the throne, and I have not changed my mind until now."

"You said - what -" Ning Wei opened his mouth wide and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"The secular world still needs a stable person in power to meet the needs of the people. Your succession can help the Privy Council quickly stabilize the situation. At least until everyone accepts the truth, the emperor is still necessary." Ning Qianshi patted the other party. Wet clothes, "As for us... no longer choose a single king from within the palace, but let the six countries and seven stars discuss matters together. This is the biggest lesson the Privy Council has learned in the past hundred years."
