When Li Ling heard this, a light flashed in his eyes: "Of course, Gong Wang, as the main general, can't help but blame him."

"Yes, even if Fang Wenbi is the prince's person, it's easy to investigate, but no one will really care about it. So after all, if something happens, the responsibility lies with him, Dong Gongwang. Of course, he is not unable to take the blame, but he must have corresponding benefits. But can the prince really give him benefits?"

Li Ling shook his head: "At least not now. If the Eastern Palace is in the capital and still has something to do with the border generals, I am afraid that Your Majesty will not be able to tolerate them."

"That's the truth, the identity of the prince is the biggest problem." Wen Ming emphasized, "so not only Dong Gongwang, but also other veterans are unwilling to wade into this muddy water. They even deliberately destroy it after knowing the fact."

"You mean... Di Jingfei's appearance also came because of it?"

"Otherwise, how do you explain that he came so timely? If what I expected was not bad, he would have been watching him all the time. Even if I didn't bring anyone to save him, he would have come to the last moment. Don't think that he was just a general and looked down on him. I have been with Di Jingfei for two years. This young man is not simple. How could he be transferred by Fang Wenbi at will to create such an opportunity?

"I even suspect that he did this clearly because he was instructed by Dong Gongwang, and wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Fang Wenbi's eyeliner - after all, no one likes to have such a guy stay by his side, even the prince's man. Then, because he found that you seemed to be stronger than he thought, he changed his mind temporarily and planned to use your anger to kill someone with a knife."

The deeper analysis made Li Ling frightened and had to admit that the water in the northern border was much deeper than he had done before. But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense. It is too unrealistic for a prince to want to control and guide the generals of the northern border through his subordinates.

"So sir, do you think I can ensure my safety in such a complicated situation?" What Li Ling cares most about is his own safety.

"If you don't do anything, it's hard to say. But what if you let some things out and let those guys who are ready to go know the consequences of doing this?"

"You mean to spread Fang Wenbi's death and the attack on me?"

"Not only that, but also the fact that he is the prince's person is also spread out, that is, spread out the fact that you and the prince have had a marriage. Coupled with your tough response, it is enough for most people who have this idea to consider whether they have the qualifications before doing things."

This is too radical, right? Isn’t this telling the world that he wants to completely turn against the prince? Li Ling suddenly became entangled. Obviously, this is not the situation he hoped to see.

"I know what you are worried about, but one thing you need to know is that this is the northern border. Everything is speaking with means and strength. If you want to ensure safety, you must let the enemy see your fangs and claws and know what kind of counterattack you will encounter once you are an enemy. In this way, most people dare not take action against you with a lucky mentality."

Li Ling chewed his words and nodded deeply for a while: "I understand."

Compared with the Central Plains and Jiangnan, the battles in the northern border are more direct and cruel. There are no too many twists and turns, and there are only collisions between strength. This is reflected not only in the battle between the border army and the Guirong, but also in the internal disputes. Only when you are strong enough and ruthless enough to make people afraid of you, will you save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

As for concerns about the prince, they are things that can only be considered after they are alive here. Otherwise, if everyone dies, would they still have to worry about whether the prince will take revenge in the future?

"But you can also be smarter in this matter, spread the truth of the matter only in the form of rumors, leaving room for you. The government will not agree with this statement, but those who are really bewitched by the prince know that this is true. If you want to attack you, you must first weigh your own weight. Of course, this does not mean that you can be worry-free. I believe that someone will take a risk in the future."

Li Ling nodded, looking much more calm. He was not afraid of meeting enemies. He just didn't want to deal with these guys all the time, which affected his business. Now that he had a countermeasure, it was easier to deal with.

With the connections he has developed for many years of business, it is still easy to spread these "rumors", and there are many civilians who can use it. Li Ling has made up his mind to use their mouths to make this statement leak out of Fengzhou City first.

As for the future revenge of the prince, he is not too worried. As for the words, the prince is only the prince after all. Although he is the closest person to the throne, who can guarantee that he will really be in the highest position in the future?

Especially with the habits of the emperor today, with the fall of King Yong, he will inevitably have deeper suspicion about the prince, or he will help another prince to fight with the prince. At that time, he will have room for operation and will fight with this opponent who has never officially met.

After finishing the most urgent matter, the two finally seemed a little relaxed. Li Ling asked about his relationship with the local general: "Will everything go smoothly after lord take office? Can you get along well with a general like Di Jingfei?"

"I just said that Di Jingfei is a sensible person. He and I have a tacit understanding of each other with each other. Unfortunately, Fengzhou is located a little south, otherwise we can make some contributions during this invasion of the Guirong." Wen Ming said confidently, "But this time I gave me the opportunity. Just the court just used Fengzhou as the granary in the northern border. As long as the final thing is done, our contribution will be great, and we will inevitably be promoted.

"I thought I would live my life in northern Xinjiang, but now it seems that there is still a turning point. And all this is Wen Zhong, I heard that these are all your ideas."

"My sir is so serious. I am just an arrangement for the overall situation. And I believe you must have the ability to make everything in Fengzhou stable. And if you really want to thank you, I thank you."

"Hahahaha, these common etiquettes are spared. You and I will cooperate with each other only for the sake of ambition in my heart. Whether you help me or I help you, I will understand it."

"Yes, it's tacit." Li Ling also laughed. This was a feeling of being like-minded and trying to do something for the people of the world. When this mentioned, Li Ling thought of the major policies they had almost implemented in Jiangnan before and the final failure, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

Wen Ming also thought of the past and sighed: "By the way, you have been in Jiangnan in the past few years, are you doing well there?" The former governor of Jiangnan was most concerned about everything there.

Li Ling nodded: "Everything there is still the same, especially in recent years, the weather is still good and the people are rich, so there is no possibility of disputes again. Moreover, in a few years, local governments have carefully cleaned up and almost pulled up all the remnants of the Luotian Sect, so the adults no longer need to worry about this."

Wen Ming smiled first, then sighed: "It's a pity that I couldn't do the work of checking the land and rebuilding the civil book at the beginning, otherwise Jiangnan would only be better now."

"I think so too. But sir, I think that compared to Jiangnan, the Central Plains are actually more needed to check the land and recompile the civil book."

"Oh? It seems you have discovered and thoughts?"

"That's right, I dare not talk nonsense elsewhere, but I have visited Yingzhou in the field. There are poor people and people who are in poverty, and they can't eat two meals a day. However, many rich families have mastered more than 80% of their wealth and land. They are truly rich and have no place to stand.

"I had thought there, where their fields came from? Where will the poor people go next? Also, the government's tax revenue is also less and less. What is the key? It can be said that the land annexation in the Central Plains will turn civilians into domestic slaves even more than in Jiangnan. In the long run, if the world changes, what kind of scenario will it be?"

After Li Ling said that, the two of them fell into silence at the same time. In fact, they all knew what this might lead to. But the problem is, so what if they know? They are no longer able to change all this. They had a chance in Jiangnan, but they were strangled. Even Wen Ming was demoted to the northern border.

After a while of silence, Wen Ming smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, the previous loss also gave me a gain, that is, I know that everything should not be forced. Not only is it not just that I am not in my position or in the law, but also that I act within my ability. I was in Jiangnan because I was weak in power and opposed by countless people, and finally failed. The root of it lies in the court and the will of Your Majesty."

As he said this, he looked at Li Ling and said, "So if you want to change everything in front of you is not in you and me, but in the court. Now our Majesty is no longer counting on..."

Li Ling nodded deeply. He had contacted the emperor with a lot of contact with him. Naturally, he knew what kind of character he was today. Although he was not a foolish monarch, he was not a wise monarch. His selfishness was far greater than public selfishness. For him now, one was to prolong his life and the other was to imperial power. These two were the fundamentals. The others could only lean back.

But if we think about it, is the prince who is obviously less capable but has more selfish intentions suitable to take over the throne?

Suddenly, Li Ling had such an idea in his mind, which scared him. When he looked at Wen Ming again, he found that there seemed to be a light flashing in his eyes. However, even if this matter was in the room where there were only two people, he would not dare to say more.
