The Eighth Prince shook his head and said with a smile: "Let's ignore those people again, just investigate the case and find out the officials in the capital who are involved with Han Yuntian one by one." When the time comes, it will be time to get rid of the powerful people who are unwilling to support the prince, which will be much more useful than dealing with those princes.

As for today's Second Prince's Mansion, I'm afraid it will reach my father's ears early in the morning, and we will make a disturbance that makes my father dislike, so it's better to do our duty honestly. Let my father see that the prince has no intention of those small struggles, and he is bent on the major affairs of the court, which is more beneficial to the prince. ”

The subordinates nodded again and again, and even sighed at the high level of the power struggle of the Eighth Prince, and even those strategists who followed the Eighth Prince almost felt that they were useless. However, to be around a prince who is smart, far-sighted and vengeful, everyone is naturally happy in their hearts. Seeing that the master he is getting closer and closer to success, as long as the master succeeds in the future, the people around him will have some benefits regardless of whether they have merit or not.

So everyone is now full of energy and confidence following the Eighth Prince. For the decision made by the Eighth Prince, it is also 100% supported and affirmed, because it is obvious that the Eighth Prince is now much more mature, no longer limited to the previous small circle, no longer thinking about fighting with the princes, but focusing on the rights he wants.

Compared with the struggle in the capital, the border city was even more tragic, and as soon as Qiu Ning settled down in the commander's mansion in the city, the people of the Western Regions began to attack the border city. And this time it is no longer the small actions of the past, burning small villages, or looting things, but directly preparing to attack the city. This made Qiao Yushu and Qiu Ning raise their hearts.

Qiao Yushu didn't have a chance to come back to see Qiu Ning, and spent all his thoughts on dealing with the war. Qiu Ning is in the Commander's Mansion in the border city, but he has to worry about the life again! Qiu Ning no longer wants to take care of the affairs of the mansion, and he must also start to settle himself. First the cooking mother in the kitchen, and then the people in the house, they must buy some more. The two maids brought by Qiu Ning himself were definitely not enough, but fortunately, there were those official wives in the city to help with these things.

Qiu Ning didn't bother much, but in terms of candidates and numbers, Qiu Ning still chose by himself. The Commander's Mansion of the border city is naturally not comparable to the Eldest Princess's Mansion in the capital, or only one-tenth of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and everything is difficult in the border city, and the people here live only to survive, so there is no attention to the living environment of the people in the capital. The city's commander's mansion is relatively simple and much simpler, but Qiu Ning thinks that this is comfortable, what is the use of such a big courtyard, and it is useless for people to be unhappy.

The Commander's Mansion is just a slightly more serious courtyard, one in and two out, and there are not so many east and west gates. Qiu Ning didn't want too many subordinates, so he just put three old mothers in the kitchen, two other porters, and four maids to sweep the floor or something. Anyway, Qiu Ning felt that the yard was not big, so he didn't have to raise a lot of people, and he didn't want to enjoy himself when he came to the border city, so why bother?

In the winter of the yard here, the snow and the light of the tree poles catch your eye, because the trees that can bloom and bear fruit will lose their leaves in winter, so the yard is not very beautiful. It's all a white snowy field, but fortunately, there are a few bright red plums in the yard, which may be the most beautiful scenery in the yard and the brightest jade scenery.

Qiu Ning thought about the invasion of the people of the Western Regions, and he couldn't eat or sleep, but he didn't dare to quarrel with Qiao Yushu at all, and he didn't want to inquire about the war, for fear that he would affect Qiao Yushu. Qiu Ning only hopes that this battle can be passed safely, and Yushu can be the first to win, defend the barren land of the border city, and don't let the people here be displaced, and don't make the life of the people here more difficult.

The King of the Western Regions squinted his eyes and looked at Qiao Yushu, who was dressed in silver armor and had a heroic face on the top of the city tower. Otherwise, why did the King of the Western Regions always feel that Qiao Yushu's eyes seemed to be seen somewhere, and it was inexplicably familiar. The King of the Western Regions didn't want to admit it, but if his mind instinctively turned around, and then he thought of a person, a person who made the King of the Western Regions angry and vomited blood. A-Ning, that's right, the boss on the city tower must be A-Ning.

The spies of the King of the Western Regions have already inquired, and this new coach is the grandson of Coach Qiao, and now Coach Qiao's grandson has taken care of Han Yuntian and re-assumed the position of coach. This new Qiao coach is young, but the layout is not bad, and Hu Shi has the demeanor of Qiao's family. It is precisely because he is the new coach that the king of the Western Regions wants to kill and test the water. Han Yuntian has fallen, and if the people of the Western Regions want to continue to survive by robbing the food of the people in the border cities every winter, I am afraid it will not be easy.

In the past, it was because Han Yuntian deliberately released water and deliberately deployed soldiers in the place he designated, but the people of the Western Regions immediately attacked the place with the least troops after knowing the deployment map, so that they could easily grab food, and there would be no casualties. The King of the Western Regions is used to this way of survival, and thinks that it is good for Han Yuntian to be the boss, at least the people of the Western Regions are now starving to death in winter.

But now that he has changed to a new person, the King of the Western Regions knows that the new boss has an enmity with him, and Coach Lao Qiao died under the calculations of the King of the Western Regions and Han Yuntian. I heard that the new coach is letting out the news, and he will definitely kill himself to avenge Coach Old Joe. The king of the Western Regions is not afraid, but without Han Yuntian's release of water, it is unlikely that he wants to get food this winter and prevent his people from freezing and starving.

Therefore, the king of the Western Regions could only decide to play a big game, and the whole army was dispatched to attack the city, first, to test the waters, and secondly, to force no way on. If you don't grab food, the tribesmen in the Western Regions are afraid that they will starve to death a lot, and there is little food in winter, and it is too cold, so there is really no way to live. As the king of the people of the Western Regions, the king of the Western Regions naturally wants to ensure the safety of his people and that they can live well. So the king of the Western Regions had to make a decision to attack the city. Even if it is hard-headed, otherwise I am afraid that other clansmen will begin to be dissatisfied, and when the time comes, if there are people who do not listen to themselves and threaten their royal power, it will not be good.

The people of the Western Regions are no better than the people of the Central Plains, they will always be loyal to the monarch, they are only loyal to those who can bring them a happy life and keep them from starving to death in winter. If the current king can't do it, then they can only overthrow this king and replace it with a new one. This is the survival rule of the people of the Western Regions, and it is also the reason why it is always easy for them to change kings. In the Western Regions, the king is not hereditary, but the capable. If you want to continue to be a king, you must find a way to ensure food, and food is the basis of rule. (To be continued.) )
