Chapter 857 Nangong Ji’s ambition! Make peace? impossible!

Nangong Ji naturally knew very well that his two sons wanted to be heirs.

The boss has good talent in cultivation, and he is also very kind to his subordinates. He has some supporters in the court.

Although the second child's cultivation level is a little lower, his brain is much better.

His Majesty is fairly well-behaved, and he also has some supporters in the court.

Each has its own strengths and weaknesses.

Without Nangong Jing as a comparison, Nangong Ji would really have no choice but to choose an heir from the two of them.

It's a pity that Nangong Ji had already decided before.

After successfully overcoming this difficulty, Nangong Jing was able to become his successor even though she was a girl.

This has never happened before and is a historical precedent.

As for the eldest and second eldest, they can just be princes with peace of mind and assist the future Nangong Jing.

Nangong Ji had a guess in his mind.

That is, in the future, Nangong Jing may be able to bring the Liuli Dynasty to an unprecedented height.

Even...more than now.

And Nangong Jing already has such ability at such a young age.

As long as she is given enough time, Nangong Ji believes that the future Nangong Jing will be a successful queen.

If it were the previous Liuli Dynasty, Nangong Ji might not have chosen Nangong Jing as his successor.

At that time, the Liuli Dynasty had the support of the Nangong Imperial Mausoleum.

Moreover, the Nangong family has never allowed a woman to become the heir, and the ancestors in the imperial mausoleum would not allow it.

But it is different now.

The Nangong Imperial Tomb has been destroyed, and all the ancestors are gone.

Since there is no ancestor anymore, he naturally has nothing to worry about when making decisions.

No matter what decision Nangong Ji makes now, even if someone opposes it, he cannot change his decision.

Seeing that Nangong Ji didn't say anything, Nangong Xingyu continued to strike while the iron was hot.

"Father, the morale of Killing Immortal Palace is currently high, and we have lost the protection of the imperial mausoleum.

It would be very irrational for us to confront them head-on.

Erchen thinks whether it is possible to make peace with the Killing Immortal Palace.

Even if all the territory occupied by Killing Immortal Palace is ceded, it is not impossible.

We must solve them one problem at a time.

The problem of Killing Asgard is the most serious, and with our current strength, there is no way to solve it all at once.

We can first solve the surrounding problems, stabilize the surrounding areas, and hold on to our current territory.

Then step by step, plot the territory occupied by the Killing Immortal Palace bit by bit. "

Nangong Xingyu's idea is very simple. Continuing to have a head-on confrontation with the Killing Immortal Palace will be very detrimental to the current Liuli Dynasty.

In this case, it is better not to confront others head-on.

It's not necessary.

Bear the humiliation for now and wait until you find a suitable opportunity in the future before you fight back.

If a man can bend and stretch, this is completely feasible.

Now even if he continues to entangle with Killing and Immortal Palace, there will be no results.

It may even make the Liuli Dynasty's current situation even more serious.

The words seemed very reasonable, but Nangongji's face turned very ugly.

His eyes stayed on Nangong Xingyu, Nangong Ji said in a deep voice.

"Second brother, you mean to cede more than half of our dynasty's territory. Am I right?"

Even though these territories have now been occupied by the Slaughter Immortal Palace, in Nangong Ji's eyes, these territories still belong to the Liuli Dynasty.

But now, his good son actually wants him to cede all these territories.

Damn thing!

Noticing Nangong Ji's livid face, Nangong Xingyu's heart suddenly lurched.

Could it be...did I say it wrong?

Those invaded territories cannot be taken back. In that case, why not give them up?

It can be used as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the Killing Immortal Palace and buy some time for the Liuli Dynasty.

There was nothing wrong in his opinion.

The territory that has been occupied by others is no longer your own territory.

It is better to admit it openly and buy yourself some time to breathe.

The current Liuli Dynasty is not qualified to compete with the Killing Immortal Palace for those lost territories.

Since things have developed to this point, there is no need to deny it.

The words have already been said to this extent, do you still want to take them back?

Of course not.

Nangong Xingyu could only bite the bullet and continue to advocate his point of view.

"Father, please don't be angry. My son may be a little treasonous when he says this.

But do you think we can really handle Killing Immortal Palace with our current strength?

In such a short period of time, so much territory has been lost. If the stalemate continues with the other party, who will suffer greater losses?

There are still many forces around us sharpening their knives. If they continue to confront the Killing Immortal Palace, they will only let these guys take advantage. Father, think twice! "

After saying that, Nangong Xingyu bowed respectfully.

He felt that what he said was right, and he was completely seeking truth from facts.

The Liuli Dynasty had become riddled with holes at this time, so it would be beneficial to simply cut off all those lost territories.

As the saying goes, short-term pain is worse than long-term pain.

Nangong Ji, whose face was still livid just now, gradually regained his composure after hearing what he said.

Nangong Xingyu was right.

It's just that the Liuli Dynasty has never ceded its territory to other forces.

This kind of thing has never happened since the Liuli Dynasty was established.

For an emperor, it is very difficult to accept that he suddenly has to cede more than half of his territory.

It is a very shameful thing.

If the territory is occupied but does not express the will to cede the territory, it will not be criticized. After all, the situation is stronger than the people.

But if he, the emperor, takes the initiative to admit the cession of territory, he will undoubtedly be nailed to the pillar of shame.

Nangong Ji naturally knows that long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

But he couldn't do this, and he didn't dare to do it.

In any case, he is unwilling to nail himself to the pillar of shame in history.

Even though it was embarrassing enough now, he didn't want to make it even more embarrassing.

The atmosphere in the hall became very solemn. Nangong Tianyang and Nangong Xingyu did not dare to say anything at this time and waited quietly.

After a while, Nangong Ji sighed slightly in his heart and shook his head helplessly.

"Second brother, I know what you say makes sense, but... I can't do this.

Once I do that, I will be nailed to history's pillar of shame.

Everyone will scold me if they think about it.

Although your suggestion is useful, it doesn't meet my requirements.

You don’t have to worry about this, your sister Jingjing has already thought of the best way for me. "
