Chapter 386: The internal war of Yue country! Grand conferment! The will of the sovereign
Translator: 549690339
(The monthly votes list is really in danger, help me.)
“His Highness Ning Zheng is mighty!”
“Long live Your Majesty!”
“Long live Your Majesty!”
At first, there were only a few thousand people shouting. Then, tens of thousands of people followed.
The last time ning Qi had returned to the capital, he had been welcomed by thousands of people like this.
This time, Ning Zheng’s triumphant return was the same.
It could be seen that the people only wanted one thing, and that was victory.
Ning yuanxian enjoyed this moment very much.
He glanced at the ministers.
Some of the officials looked indifferent, while others looked thoughtful.
The current situation was already very clear.
His Majesty had already made arrangements for the title of Ning Zheng.
Shen Lang’s Nirvana Army did not return to the capital. Instead, they remained in Tianxi province.
What did this prove?
It proved that His Majesty was on guard against the Zhong family.
Once he made Ning Zheng the Crown Prince, he was worried that the Zhong family would be driven to desperation.
If Shen Lang’s Army did not enter the capital, the tianyue city would be empty.
When ning Qi triumphed in triumph, he had led thousands of cavalrymen into the capital.
Not only that, but Xue che also served as the governor of Tian Yue.
Although Yan ‘e of the Blackwater terrace was loyal to the king, he was also biased towards ning Qi.
Within the capital, there were only less than 10000 city guards loyal to Ning Zheng.
Therefore, the monarch invited the Queen of Qiang Kingdom, arunana, to enter tianyue city. On the surface, it was because of their relationship as allies. He invited her to participate in the worship ceremony, but in fact, it was to borrow soldiers.
He borrowed the 10000 cavalrymen from the Qiang Kingdom.
Of course, this was against the rules.
Luring the foreign race Army into the capital, it was really a shocking matter.
In history, whenever a King invited a foreign Army into the capital, they basically didn’t have a good ending.
However, it was still the same sentence, which was not accurate everywhere.
In order to smoothly let Ning Zheng take the position, ning yuanxian still made this decision.
Of course, his actions would definitely leave a bad reputation.
But it didn’t matter if he was cursed.
As long as Ning Zheng could be successfully made the Crown Prince, it did not matter if he, ning yuanxian, was called an incapable Emperor.
Ever since he got Parkinson’s disease, he knew that he didn’t have much time left, so he had gotten over it.
Ning yuanxian’s plan did not stop there.
He had already given a secret order to Bian Xiao and Zhang Ji.
Especially Zhang Ji.
Last time, in order to deal with the King of Wu’s Southern expedition Army, Zhang Ji led 30000 troops into Tianbei province to assist in the defense of ning Qi.
After that, ning Qi went to the battlefield of Tianxi province, but Zhang Ji did not leave.
The king had decreed that Zhang Ji would serve as the Admiral of Tianbei province. At a critical moment, he could take over the entire Tianbei province.
After all, ning Qi had been the governor of Tianbei province for more than a year.
Once something happened, Zhang Ji would immediately take control of the military power of the entire Tianbei province.
And Tiannan province!
The governor of Tiannan province was still Zhu Rong, but the king had decreed that Jin Zhuo would be the general of Pingnan.
If anything happened in Tiannan province, Jin Zhuo’s family’s private army could take over the entire province by secret edict and directly enter the governor’s office.
Not only that.
The king, ning yuanxian, had even sent a secret envoy to negotiate with her.
If Jin Zhuo can’t control the situation in Tiannan province, please help from the South.
During the time when Ning Zheng was not around.
The king, ning yuanxian, began to make arrangements in the North, South, East, and West.
He had even made many decisions that were against the rules of the kingdom.
There was only one goal, and that was to let Ning Zheng succeed the throne smoothly.
In order to achieve this goal, ning yuanxian had made many bold moves.
In the future history books, he would definitely leave behind a heavy infamy.
..................
The civil and military officials below were all shrinking their necks.
They had already sensed the dangerous atmosphere. The king had no intention of being reasonable.
He had already decided to confer Ning Zheng the title by force.
It’s fine if you all agree, but if you don’t ...
Don’t blame my knife for being too sharp.
Three-legged toads were hard to find, but two-legged people were easy to find.
After killing all of you, are you still afraid that you can’t find someone to be an official?
Are you going to follow the Zhu family and the Zhong family to the end?
Or should I change my mind and obey my will?
“Uncle, what do you think of your grandson?” ning yuanxian asked.
He pointed at Ning Zheng.
Ning Qi’s gaze was complicated. He really didn’t have any selfish motives. He really thought that ning Qi was not bad.
But now, it seemed that Ning Zheng was not bad either. In his heart, he was biased towards ning Qi. Because ning Qi was more capable, if he took the throne, it would not cause too much turmoil.
If it was Ning Zheng caiying, the world would definitely be turned upside down, and Ning Zheng was too upright.
However, was he going to completely go against the king?
Your Highness! ning Qi’s Royal uncle immediately bowed and said, ” His Highness Ning Zheng is determined and decisive. He’s a good son of the Emperor.
Ning yuanxian was overjoyed. He turned to ning gang and said, ” “Uncle ning gang, what do you think of Zheng ‘er?”
Ning gang was different from ning Qi. He was a resolute man, and he admired both ning Qi and Ning Zheng. Previously, when Ning Zheng was trapped in the Chu royal capital, he supported ning Qi. But now that Ning Zheng was back, the king had clearly expressed his attitude.
Then ning gang would definitely not go against ning yuanxian.
“His Highness Ning Zheng is very well.” Ning gang said.
As a result, there were big shots in the Bureau of Military Affairs and the Board of Ministers who supported Ning Zheng. In addition to Bian Xiao, Jin Zhuo, and Zhang Lin, there would be five people supporting Ning Zheng. Although it still couldn’t compare to ning Qi’s power, it was no longer alone.
“Come, come, come. All the officials, come and meet King Qiang.” Ning yuanxian said with a smile.
All of a sudden, the ministers bowed to Qiang King arunana and said, ” “Greetings, King Qiang.”
Arunana nodded but didn’t show much affection.
She was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
“King Qiang, I’m very honored that you’re able to participate in our Yue country’s worship ceremony.” “Then we’ll head to the ancient altar together. Please!”
“King of Yue, please!”
Qiang King arunana was half a step behind ning yuanxian.
“Let’s go to the ancient altar.”
Then, the music started again.
Ning yuanxian led the civil and military officials, as well as a few thousand Imperial Guards, to the ancient altar on foot.
Arunana said unnaturally.
Because she was too tall, she usually walked super fast. Now, if she wasn’t careful, she would surpass the king of Yue.
Every time she accidentally walked past her, she had to control herself. She walked too cautiously.
Damn it, I won’t come again no matter what.
Ning yuanxian, on the other hand, felt his steps light, as if the many illnesses in his body had also improved.
But he still reached out his hand and said to his son, ” “I’m getting on in years, and it’s a little hard to walk. Ning Zheng, help me.”
Ning Zheng was stunned, then he quickly stepped forward and helped ning yuanxian to walk.
Countless people saw this scene.
Everyone was even more certain that the king, ning yuanxian, was going to make Ning Zheng the Crown Prince.
Ning Qi, who was dressed in a golden robe, did not react at all when he saw this scene. His face was as serious as a mountain, and he walked behind them obediently.
Zhu Hong, Zhong E, Xue che, and the other big shots were also expressionless.
Especially Xue che, who had just led a team to kill Ning Zheng a few days ago. Now, it was as if nothing had happened.
..............................
After half an hour!
The king, ning yuanxian, led a large group of people to the ancient altar.
The Grand heavenly worship ceremony began once again.
But this time, it was not Ning Yu who presided over the hall, but ning gang.
Ning Yu’s great sect had disappointed ning yuanxian, so he would probably be dismissed next. This time, he was not allowed to host the worship ceremony, which was a strong signal.
The entire worship ceremony was still Grand and solemn.
It was all in accordance with the etiquette system.
Ning yuanxian completed it meticulously, and even used his greatest effort to restrain his trembling.
The first step was to welcome the Emperor and God, the second step was to offer the Jade silk. The third step was to advance, and the fourth step was to offer a gift.
At this time, it should be Ning Zheng’s turn to recite the Book of Worship.
Shen lang did not prepare anything for him today. He did not even prepare any medicine.
Eunuch limo did not dub for him either.
Because it was no longer needed.
At the worship ceremony more than two years ago, although Ning Zheng had already served as the commander of tianyue for some time, he had just entered the political field and had too little experience.
He had experienced too much in these two years.
There was no need to talk about the fierce struggles in the Imperial court. In front of the monarch, he had been pointed at and scolded more than once. He had even been beaten up by a crowd.
He had fought two or three life-and-death battles, and he had even experienced the most terrifying assassination a few days ago.
Which of these experiences wasn’t a great calamity?
In comparison, what was a stutter?
He had even forgotten when his stutter had disappeared.
This time, the Book of Worship to heaven was not written by Shen lang, but by Ning Zheng and lunatic LAN.
Of course, it wasn’t as Grand as the previous one.
However, it was still extremely outstanding.
The process of reciting the book of sacrifice to the heavens went very smoothly.
And after two miraculous victories, Ning Zheng seemed to have a Halo above his head.
Even if the performance was only eight points, it had ten points of effect.
Even though many people were praying in their hearts.
Let the heavens thunder and rain.
It would be best if it was an earthquake.
That would be seen as the wrath of the heavens.
But none of this happened.
The entire worship ceremony was bright and sunny.
The originally hot July was not even considered too hot.
It was a perfect sacrificial ceremony.
The fifth step in the hall, the sixth step, and the ninth step.
At noon, the worship ceremony came to a successful end.
Once again, ning yuanxian was supported by Ning Zheng as they returned to the palace.
..............................
In the palace!
The king, ning yuanxian, looked at Ning Zheng for a long time. After a long while, he said,”You’ve worked hard.”
In public, ning yuanxian seemed to be very close to Ning Zheng.
However, when it was only the two of them in private, the situation was still a little awkward.
After all, ning yuanxian had not only been cold to Ning Zheng, but had also treated him like grass. Now, it was really difficult for them to suddenly become an affectionate father and son.
“What do you think of the following situation?” Ning yuanxian asked.
“It’s best to get things done once and for all. The external environment is the best right now. His Majesty has changed from a King to a hegemon. All the Kings in the world are trembling with fear. Even King Wu is thinking about how to protect himself at this moment. He no longer has any ideas about our Yue country. King Chu and Jin Jun will never start a war with us. That’s why even if there’s a civil war in our State of Yue, there won’t be any threats from outside.”
Ning yuanxian was shocked by her words.
Civil War?
Was he that decisive?
“Governing a big country is like cooking some fresh fish,” Ning Zheng said.”As for some things, I think we should take it slow.” However, for some things, they should be swept away with the force of a Thunderbolt. The flood is scary, but it can also clean the river.”
“You mean to completely destroy the Zhong family and the Xue family?” ning yuanxian asked.
Ning Zheng was amazed. His father had many shortcomings, but he was definitely smart.
Because ning yuanxian did not say that he would destroy the Zhu family.
The Zhu family was a civil official. Although their power in the Imperial court was overwhelming, they had no military power.
Therefore, as long as the Zhong family and the Xue family were destroyed, ning Qi would be powerless to overturn the heavens.
Ning yuanxian closed his eyes. He had given Xue che a chance.
But the Deputy Chief Xue che wasn’t confident.
Or perhaps, he didn’t even want to be confident.
“A few days ago, Xue che personally led his men to kill you?” Ning yuanxian asked.
“Yes,” said Ning Zheng. In order to protect me, li qianqiu, Da Zhuang, ku touhuan, li qianqiu’s wife, and everyone else were all seriously injured. If the people of white jade City hadn’t arrived at the critical moment, Wu Tuzi and the Grandmaster of stupa mountain would have gone on a killing spree. In the end, foolish might have escaped with me, and everyone around me would have died.”
Every time he thought of this, Ning Zheng’s heart could not help but tremble, and he could not even come back to his senses.
He couldn’t imagine how devastated his heart would be if li qianqiu and his wife, bitter joy, Tang Yan, and the others were to die for him.
Therefore, he was still not a King with a heart as hard as iron.
Ning yuanxian smiled miserably.
Did Xue Che’s actions show any respect for him, the Emperor?
He was truly an extremely intelligent person. He had long climbed up the social ladder of the great Yan Empire and no longer held him in any regard.
Originally, ning yuanxian had not wanted to go to the extent of a civil war.
But when Ning Zheng took the throne, the Zhong and Xue families would definitely not wait helplessly for death.
He didn’t expect that after the war, Yue country would have another civil war.
“If we can destroy the Xue and Zhong families, how do you plan to deal with ning Qi?” Ning yuanxian asked.
“Cripple his martial arts and imprison him for life,” Ning Zheng said.
Ning yuanxian’s expression was pained, but he still nodded.
Ning Qi was different from his other sons. He was too smart and powerful. He would not be willing to be a rich and idle man.
If carefree was allowed to get stronger, he would definitely stir up trouble.
Ning Zheng had only crippled his martial arts and imprisoned him for life, which was already considered merciful.
Back then, ning yuanxian had not let ning Yuanwu go. He had killed him directly.
Ning yuanxian unfurled the map. Once a civil war broke out, there would be three battlefields: Tianxi province, raging tide city, and the southern sea Sword sect.
Tianyue city, the capital of the country, might become a battlefield, or it might not.
After this battle, the Yue country would have to rest and recuperate for a long time.
However, there was no construction without destruction.
The Zhong family was the biggest warlord in Yue country. If they could be destroyed, it would be very beneficial to the future of Yue country.
In fact, when the Empire of Great Yan was ready to Annex the world, Chu, Yue, Qiang, and the great South could even join together.
“Once I make you the Crown Prince, how do you think ning Qi will react?” Should we just escape and rebel?”
Ning Zheng wanted to say something but stopped.
“Say it. At a time like this, there’s nothing you can’t say.” Ning yuanxian said.
“Father, I think the other party might attack you,” said Ning Zheng.
Ning yuanxian’s expression changed at these words.
Ning Zheng continued,”no one can stop you now. Ning Qi and uncle ning gang will still choose to stand on your side in the end.” You’ve also borrowed 10000 cavalrymen from King Qiang, so it’s impossible for the ministers to disobey the edict. Whoever disobeys the edict will be beheaded. The necks of the officials of Yue State are not that hard. Therefore, making a move on you is the enemy’s way of getting things done once and for all.”
Ning yuanxian slowly nodded.
Yes, that was indeed the case.
Ning Qi’s greatest characteristic was that he would do anything.
He was cruel to himself, to his enemies, and to everyone else.
Of course, this also included him, his father.
Previously, robbing and killing Ning Zheng was the most cost-effective method, but this strategy had failed.
At present, Ning Zheng was protected by li qianqiu and his wife, Grandmaster Zhong chuke, Dazhuang, kutouhuan, and other experts.
It was impossible to assassinate Ning Zheng in the capital.
Therefore, targeting ning yuanxian was the most cost-effective way.
“In my opinion, it’s impossible for them to directly assassinate father.” “But the stupa mountain’s poison is really hard to guard against,” Ning Zheng said.
Wasn’t it impossible to guard against?
King Chu had died from the poison of stupa mountain.
Ning Zheng said, ” so, during this crucial period, I will only treat you to a meal prepared by mother. Li Sun, Li en, and eunuch li mu must be by your side at all times. Moreover, Qianqian better not meet Xue che and ning Qi, and also Zhu Hong.”
“You’re making arrangements for me,” ning yuanxian said with a smile.
“Your son doesn’t dare to, but this is the last resort,” Ning Zheng said.
“Alright, as you wish.” During this period of time, I only ate the food that concubine Bian cooked and spent the night in her Palace. I didn’t meet any suspicious officials in private. I’d like to see if ning Qi and the others will really rebel.”
..................
Ning Zheng returned to Marquis Changping’s estate.
The entire capital fell into a strange silence.
Those with a keen sense of smell could already sense that a storm was brewing.
The 10,000 cavalrymen of the Qiang Kingdom had come in an unusual manner.
Even if they invited the Queen of the Qiang Kingdom to visit Yue country, was it necessary to bring 10000 cavalrymen?
Moreover, Shen Lang’s Nirvana Army had been staying in Tianxi province.
What was the meaning of this?
And his Highness, ning Qi, isn’t he too calm?
This included Zhu hongzhu, Zhong ‘e, Xue che, and the others.
Today, he had not overreacted at all. He did not feel that a great disaster was coming.
On the contrary, he seemed to be very confident?
No, you can’t use that word.
It should be called resolute.
..................
That very night!
The king of Yue, ning yuanxian, hosted a small banquet to entertain the Queen of Qiang Kingdom.
From the beginning to the end, ning yuanxian only drank three cups of fruit wine.
These three cups of wine were all handled by Li Sun.
Fortunately, arunana didn’t care about the extravagance, and the banquet ended in less than two hours.
Under the protection of Li Sun and Li mu, ning yuanxian returned to his study to deal with government affairs.
In order to ensure absolute safety.
Ning yuanxian did not even touch the official’s memorials anymore. Li Sun copied them all and handed them to him.
Moreover, he had almost never met anyone.
Other than Li Sun, Li mu, li en, and concubine Bian, almost no one could get within five steps of him.
Midnight!
When ning yuanxian summoned the governor of Heishui station, yan e, there was a full ten meters between them.
Yan e was even kneeling in the hall outside.
“Yan E, I know you have a good relationship with Yan nanfei and Xue che.” in fact, ” ning yuanxian said, ” Xue che is your old superior. So, I want to ask you, is this black water station still my black water station? ”
“The black water platform will always be Your Majesty’s,” yan e said as he kowtowed.
you’re exaggerating, ” ning yuanxian said. I trusted Xue che before, so many of the people in the black water platform came from the South Sea Sword sect. In many people’s minds, the black water platform is just a position, and the southern sea Sword sect is the eternal origin.”
“But at least this group of people will always listen to Your Majesty’s orders,” said GUI e.
“Between Ning Zheng and ning Qi, which one do you think is more suitable to succeed the throne?” ning yuanxian asked.
“I don’t have a will of my own. Whoever Your Majesty thinks is suitable will be the most suitable,” replied GUI e.
“I plan to crown Ning Zheng as the Crown Prince. What do you think?”
“I will unconditionally obey any of Your Majesty’s will,” GUI e replied.
“Alright, you can go then.”
“I shall take my leave,” yan e kowtowed.
After a while.
Ning yuanxian then summoned eldest Princess ning Jie.
“Ning Jie, who do you think is better, Ning Zheng or ning Qi?”
based on my own heart, I think ning Qi is better, ” eldest Princess ning Jie said. but I completely obey brother Wang’s will.
“What about me?” When I sent you to the black water platform, it was to measure Xue Che’s power. Later on, in order to prevent Xue che from becoming too powerful, he was even completely removed from the black water platform for nearly ten years. Are there still many people loyal to you in the black water platform?”
“Not a lot,” eldest Princess ning Jie said.
She was too indifferent, so there were people who followed her in the black water platform, but not many.
“I’m planning to make Ning Zheng the Crown Prince. Do you support it?”
“I obey the will of my Royal brother,” eldest Princess ning Jie said.
alright, ” ning yuanxian said. what if something happens in the future, and ning Qi wants to rebel? what will you do? ”
“Do your best to suppress the rebellion for the country,” eldest Princess ning Jie said.
“Thank you for your hard work,” ning yuanxian nodded.
Eldest Princess ning Jie left.
After summoning the two, ning yuanxian planned to return to the harem to sleep.
A moment later, there was another figure in the room.
His eternal pride was also his eternal pain.
Princess Ninghan.
The heir of the sky-Sea Pavilion.
She walked in.
However, when he was five feet away from ning yuanxian, a powerful force appeared in the room.
Grand eunuch li mu was a Grandmaster-level powerhouse.
He loyally carried out his duties. Other than a limited number of people, no one was allowed to approach His Majesty.
Ning Han looked in the direction of eunuch li mu.
It was a casual glance.
Instantly!
Eunuch li mu felt a sharp pain in his head, as if it was going to split open.
However, Ning Han did not get too close to ning yuanxian. Instead, he stood still in front of him.
“Father, have you already made up your mind to make Ning Zheng the Crown Prince?” Ning Han asked.
“Han ‘er, you’ve only come back to see me twice in the past twenty years,” ning yuanxian said with a bitter smile. The first time was to warn Shen lang, and the second time was to warn me? Have you never come to see me because you wanted to?”
Ning Han remained silent.
“Ning Yi can’t make it. Are you on ning Qi’s side again?” ning yuanxian said.
Princess Ning Han said,”ning Yi can’t make it, so ning Qi is the most suitable.” But to me, anyone can inherit the throne in Yue country, except Ning Zheng?”
“Oh?” “It seems that the Yue Kingdom is far less important than the great Yan Empire in your heart,” ning yuanxian said with a smile. My subjects want to climb up the social ladder, and my daughter is no exception? You know that after Ning Zheng takes the throne, he will certainly not cooperate with the emperor’s will. Do you really want my Yue country to be swallowed up? Don’t forget that you’re also a member of the ning royal family, if you still admit it. ”
Ning Han did not explain, nor did he care about ning yuanxian’s sarcasm.
After a long while, she said, ” “Father, it’s the opposite. I came for the territory of the Yue country. Once Ning Zheng is allowed to succeed the throne, the hundreds of years of Foundation of our ning royal family will be destroyed.”
“Oh?” Why? Just because he doesn’t want to kneel, just because he wants to resist the Supreme Emperor?”
“That’s only one of the reasons,” Princess Ning Han said.”There’s another reason.”
“What?” ning yuanxian asked.
“Shen lang,” Ning Han said.
“Then, are you going to say that if I want to let Ning Zheng succeed the throne, I have to kill Shen lang now?”
“I didn’t say that,” Princess Ning Han replied.
“I’m done,” ning yuanxian said.”You’ve never thought of yourself as my daughter. You may be the heir of the sky-Sea Pavilion, but the emperor’s decree clearly states that the Supreme powers can not interfere with the affairs of the secular kingdoms.”
alright, ” ning yuanxian continued, ” I’m a little tired. I’ll go rest now.
He directly asked him to leave.
This daughter of his had also made him extremely disappointed.
He completely understood that Ning Han supported ning Yi, because the two of them were born from the same mother.
But the sky-Sea Pavilion had also sent someone to assassinate Ning Zheng?
What kind of reason was that?
You and ning Qi have the same father but different mothers, but you and Ning Zheng have the same father but different mothers.
Therefore, in ning yuanxian’s eyes, everything that Ning Han had done was because of his loyalty to the Empire.
Ning Han suddenly said,”father, please believe that I also love Yue country.” Everything I’ve done is for the hundred-year foundation of the ning royal family. Farewell!”
Then, Princess Ning Han turned around and left.
This sentence was so abrupt.
..................
The next day was the court session!
Everyone could feel the suffocating atmosphere.
Because the sky was still dark.
The cavalry of the Qiang Kingdom outside the city had already been divided into two groups, guarding the west and south of tianyue.
Immediately after, over 10000 city guards all climbed up the city wall.
The four gates of the capital were tightly shut.
Then, the 5000 fully armed Imperial Guards entered the palace like a tide.
The atmosphere was so somber.
What was his Majesty doing?
This court session was simply like a feast at Hongmen’s door.
Even though there was no banquet.
Was this a decree to forcefully suppress the officials?
Was he trying to make Ning Zheng the Crown Prince by force?
If someone disobeyed the decree, they would immediately start a massacre?
The officials in the capital were all trembling.
She really wished she didn’t go to court and just stayed at home.
Otherwise, what would happen if the monarch forced everyone to stand in the Imperial court?
What if Zhu Hong, Zhong E, Xue che, and the others all disobeyed the decree?
Then what would the officials choose?
Stand on the king’s side?
In the future, the Empire of Great Yan might settle the score.
Stand on ning Qi’s side?
The monarch’s knife was about to cut down, and everyone’s heads were not hard.
It was fine to stand up and cheer for the third Prince, but it was not worth it to throw one’s head away for this.
There were even many officials who felt that His Highness Ning Zheng was not bad.
After he took over, he would be very strict. It would be difficult for everyone to be corrupt, and it would also be difficult for him to administer the slothful government.
But it might be a good thing for Yue country.
But no matter how afraid they were, the officials still had to go to court.
..................
Outside the Imperial court was a dense Army of guards, fully armed and ready to charge in at any time.
This was the most direct threat.
In the court, the officials were silent.
There was only the sound of her heart beating, and she didn’t even dare to breathe.
He waited for a long time.
The king, ning yuanxian, had finally appeared.
He sat on the throne.
“Your subjects pay their respects to Your Majesty.”
The ministers knelt down and saluted.
Ning yuanxian was wearing a Royal robe, but the armor underneath was exposed.
Was this an accident?
Of course not, this was a warning to the ministers.
I’ve already made all the preparations.
Today’s matter had to be successful, no matter what.
Who dared to disobey the decree?
Then don’t blame my knife for being too sharp.
“All ministers, rise.”
Then, ning yuanxian smiled and said, ” this war for the fate of the country has been going on for more than a year. We finally won. It was not easy. The State of Yue has not lost an inch of land. It is really the blessing of the heavens and our ancestors.
“Congratulations, Your Majesty,” the ministers bowed.
“In this battle, ning Qi has made a great contribution. Not bad, not bad!” Ning yuanxian said.
Then, ning yuanxian said, ” the traitor Nangong ao has surrendered. The Bureau of Military Affairs is short of one more person. Officials, is there any Prince in the world who has entered the Bureau of Military Affairs? ”
Don’t you know if there is?
In the Wu Kingdom in the North, when the old king of Wu was in power, his younger brother Wu Zhi was already in the Bureau of Military Affairs.
Now that the young king of Wu had succeeded the throne, Wu Zhi was appointed as the central secret emissary.
“Your Majesty, there are such examples.”
“Yes, that’s good. If there isn’t, it wouldn’t be good for my Yue country to set a precedent.” “Ning Qi has contributed a lot,” ning yuanxian said,”we have to reward him. I hereby decree that ning Qitian’s position as the governor of the North Province will be removed and he will be appointed as the third Deputy of the Bureau of Military Affairs.”
Everyone trembled at his words.
Was he suppressing His Highness ning Qi so obviously?
He directly dismissed the governor of Tianbei province?
Entering the Bureau of Military Affairs was certainly a promotion, but it was a light pillar.
“Thank you, Father, for your kindness,” ning Qi stepped out of the ranks.
“In this case, the governor of Tianbei province will be vacant.” By the way, how long has Zhang Ji been the governor of Yanzhou?”
“It’s been two and a half years,”
“Oh, it’s been that long?” Ning yuanxian said,”Zhang San has been in Yanzhou for more than two years, and he’s done a good job. Very good.” Then Zhang Ji will be the acting governor of Tianbei province.”
This time, ning yuanxian had directly appointed Zhang Ji as an official without going through the minister’s desk.
With that, ning yuanxian looked at Zhu hongzhu and the others.
Aren’t you all going to come out and object?
Zhu hongzhu lowered his head and didn’t say a word, as if he hadn’t heard anything. He didn’t have any intention to object.
After a long while, ning yuanxian and the others jumped out to object.
In the end, there was not a single one.
“No one has contributed more to this war than Ning Zheng.” He was the one who defeated Jin Jun’s main force and protected Tiannan province. It was also because of his surprise attack on the Chu royal capital that caused the Chu country to withdraw its troops. In the end, it was also because of him that we signed a new armistice agreement with the King of Chu that our Yue country did not lose an inch of land. He protected the dignity of the ning royal family and also the integrity of our Yue country.”
“I can’t not reward him for his contribution.”
“Decree, confer Ning Zheng the title of Duke of Yue!”
As soon as these words came out, the ministers trembled slightly.
It’s finally here!
The Duke of Yue was only half a step away from the crown prince’s position.
The key was that looking at His Majesty’s stance, he didn’t intend to slow down.
According to reason, he should first be conferred the title of Duke of Yue, and then wait for a year and a half to let the people of the world be fully prepared before he was conferred the title of Crown Prince.
However, ning yuanxian clearly did not intend to do so.
He wanted to push Ning Zheng to the crown prince’s position in one go.
This was because the cavalry of the Qiang Kingdom would have to leave eventually.
In another year and a half, who knew how the situation would change?
In order to avoid any complications, it was better to do it in one go.
“I’m conferring Ning Zheng the title of Duke of Yue. Who agrees and who objects?” ning yuanxian asked.
The entire place was still silent.
Ning yuanxian’s eyes were as sharp as an Eagle’s. If anyone dared to stand up and object at this time, they would basically be beheaded.
Everyone’s heads weren’t that hard.
Once the Emperor turned hostile, the officials would find it difficult to resist.
The Wanli Emperor was such a powerful man, and he even paid attention to tolerance for the sake of his country. He hadn’t gone to court for decades, and he hadn’t killed anyone.
Emperor Chongzhen, on the other hand, had broken through the limit of his patience and directly started to attack the ministers.
How many ministers had he killed when he was in power?
Most Kings were not Born to Kill, but they were forced to do so.
Once they started killing, it meant that the situation had already reached an irredeemable stage.
Emperor Chongzhen wasn’t as powerful as Wanli, but once he acted against the ministers, they couldn’t resist.
His eyes were filled with killing intent, and he was playing with a string of Buddhist beads in his trembling hand.
The thousands of Imperial Guards outside gripped their sabers, ready to pull them out at any moment.
Ning yuanxian slowly smiled and asked Zhu Hong, ” “Prime Minister, do you agree with me bestowing Ning Zheng the title of Duke of Yue? Or are you against it?”
