495 A new era, the death of ning Shao!
Shen lang looked at Ning Zheng for a long time. Even though his hair was disheveled, he did not seem to have changed much. Even his gaze did not change much. It was still as determined as before, but it had become deeper. The inhumane treatment for the past two years did not shake his will at all. This was probably the best Prince of Yue in the past hundred years.
However, Shen lang was still very embarrassed. Previously, he supported Ning Zheng. Although he did not have any intention of being the ruler, Shen lang was the governor of Marquis Changping’s residence in Ning Zheng. He was considered Ning Zheng’s subordinate. However, he had suddenly become his ruler.
Shen lang wanted to say that he did not want to be the human Emperor, but he decided not to. He would probably make Ning Zheng sad.
“Brother Wang, if you keep doing this, it won’t be easy to meet you in the future.” Shen lang smiled bitterly.
Ning Zheng stood up and stood to the side with his back bent, his etiquette meticulous.
Shen lang walked in front of Bian Xiao, picked up his hands, and used his X-Ray Eyes to check his veins and arteries as well as his legs.
Bian Xiao was a Grandmaster class expert, so his meridians had been crippled after he was captured. Fortunately, it had not been too long, unlike Grandmaster Lan Xiao, who had been crippled for years and had difficulty recovering.
“I can connect your veins. Your martial arts will recover in about one or two years.” “I will arrange for the surgery as soon as possible,” Shen lang said.
“Thank you, my Lord,” Bian Xiao kowtowed.
In fact, Bian Xiao was really innocent. He had never interacted with Shen lang before. The only time they met was during the battle of the gold Mountain Island. Back then, Bian Xiao’s status was extremely high, while Shen lang was just a live-in son-in-law. In the end, he was also implicated by Shen lang. He went from a high position to nothing and his entire family was imprisoned.
Of course, the Zhu family had given him a chance. As long as he was willing to surrender, he would lose his military power, but he could still keep his noble title. However, Bian Xiao was a tough person, how could he surrender? Hence, his 100000 strong army was defeated by Zhu hongxue’s blood soul Army and he lost Yan Prefecture.
Shen lang walked in front of Zhang Yan and said, ” “Chun Hua has done a great job in raging tide city. After I save you, I will marry her. However, I’m afraid there will only be a small ceremony, and only Jiang Lang’s name can be used on the marriage contract.”
Zhang Ji trembled slightly, then knelt down and kowtowed, ” “This subject is terrified. This subject thanks the Lord for your grace.”
He was really filled with emotions. He didn’t expect that the mission to bring honor to his ancestors would really fall on his daughter’s shoulders.
When Shen Lang’s gaze landed on ning Qi’s Royal uncle’s face, the latter gave him a complicated look.
In the past few years, ning Qi’s Royal uncle did not have a good impression of Shen lang and scolded him countless times. Furthermore, he was imprisoned not because he supported Shen lang or opposed the Empire of Great Yan, but because he supported ning yuanxian and Ning Zheng.
However, it was time for them to pick a side. What the great Yan Empire had done to Vietnam was too dishonorable and even too ugly. The entire Eastern world was either surnamed Ji or Jiang. Now that the chaos had been restored, the Yue country could only pledge loyalty to the Jiang dynasty.
“I, ning Qi, greet Your Majesty!” Uncle Wang, Ning Qi, knelt down and kowtowed.
“Your Majesty, I’m ning gang,” Uncle Wang, Ning gang, knelt down and kowtowed.
Immediately after, the hundreds of people present knelt down and kowtowed in unison.
“Your subjects pay their respects to Your Majesty. Long live, long live, long live!”
These people were called the remnants of Shen lang, even though many of them did not support Shen lang and only supported ning yuanxian and Ning Zheng.
A moment later, more than a thousand people knelt down in unison and kowtowed. “Your subjects pay their respects to Your Majesty. Long live, long live, long live!”
The entire imperial court was divided. Those who supported the Jiang clan knelt down in unison, while those who supported the Empire of Great Yan stood straight.
Let alone speculating, at least at this time, no one was speculating.
This was because everyone was putting their lives on the line. Shen lang had won the battle in Tian Yue city, but the sky-Sea Pavilion was still in the territory of Yue country. Their forces were almost unscathed, not to mention that the great Yan Empire was still at the peak of its power.
Therefore, those who knelt down and pledged their loyalty to Shen lang today might be killed by the Empire of Great Yan tomorrow.
........................
Shen lang slowly walked back to the top of the stairs. No matter where he went, there were more than six master-class powerhouses following him.
He looked at ning Qi, who trembled and seemed to be struggling.
From the beginning to the end, ning Qi had never pledged his loyalty to Shen lang. He did not even have the courage to resist the Empire of Great Yan. He just stuck to his bottom line and was not willing to kill ning yuanxian and Ning Zheng with his own hands.
From his personal point of view, he was unwilling to stand on Shen Lang’s side even until now. The great Yan Empire and the sky-Sea Pavilion were too powerful. If he stood on Shen Lang’s side, it would mean that he would be destroyed in the future.
But in this world, there were many times when he was forced to do so. When he was unwilling to kill Ning Zheng, he was already forced to take a side.
Sometimes there were gray areas, but other times it was either black or white. In the entire Eastern world, you will either stand on the side of the Jiang clan or the Ji clan.
Emotionally, ning Qi yearned for the Jiang family. Everything that the Ji family had done was too ugly. But from a rational point of view, standing on the Jiang family’s side would really lead to the extinction of the family.
But now, ning Qi really had no other choice. He could no longer stand in the middle.
After letting out a long sigh, ning Qi knelt down and kowtowed to Shen lang, ” I, ning Qi, pay my respects to Your Majesty. Long live, long live, long live!
Shen lang said, ” third Prince, you used to be an amazing person. You had the sharpest eyes and the most ruthless and decisive methods. However, you have lost your direction in the past two years. However, I hope that you will be able to find a new direction and find your past self.”
Your Majesty! ning Qi kowtowed. I’m ashamed, but I hope I won’t disappoint Your Majesty.
“I really look forward to the third Prince becoming the invincible commander of the Yue country,” Shen lang said.
Ning Qi kowtowed to the ground, not moving.
........................
Then, Shen lang looked at ning Yi.
The other party immediately knelt down and kowtowed continuously. “This subject pays his respects to Your Majesty. Long live our Emperor, long live, long live!”
Ning Yi was still the same ning Yi. In fact, when he was the Crown Prince of Yue country, he was not like this. He was full of exquisiteness, superiority and pride, and his power was not bad.
To a certain extent, none of ning yuanxian’s sons were idiots. Perhaps only ning Qi and Ning Zheng were truly outstanding, but whether it was Ning Yan, Ning Jing, ning Yi, or even ning Shao, they were all outstanding talents.
Ning Yi’s fall was because of the Zhu family. For a long time, ning Yi was more like a pet raised by the Zhu family. He had not experienced any storms at all and was directly thrown into the tragic battlefield of the Southern Ocean Kingdom. Once the cowardly ning Yi knelt down, his entire spirit and backbone would be completely castrated. He would no longer be able to stand up and could only continue to fall.
In the past few years, ning Yi was Shen Lang’s most important enemy. However, they rarely met because ning Yi was the Crown Prince of Yue country and didn’t take Shen lang seriously. When he finally took Shen lang seriously, he was almost killed by Shen lang.
Ning Yi had committed many unforgivable crimes. For example, he had wanted to take Jin Mulan away for a long time, and he had tortured ning yuanxian and Ning Zheng.
However, there were different levels of beasts. When ning Shao wanted to kill ning yuanxian, ning Yi was shocked and didn’t want to kill his father.
Shen lang looked at ning Yi and did not speak for a long time.
Ning Yi trembled continuously, kowtowing with all his might as he sobbed, ” “Your subjects pay their respects to Your Majesty. Long live, long live, long live.”
Emperor Shen lang, I was wrong, I was wrong. Please don’t kill me, don’t kill me.
“I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, Yingluo.”
At first, it was just a small cry, but after that, it simply burst into loud sobs and directly collapsed on the ground.
Shen lang looked at ning Yi and was really in a dilemma. He had originally wanted to hand ning Yi over to Ning Zheng to deal with, because Ning Zheng was the Prince of Yue.
But after thinking about it, he couldn’t do that. After all, ning Yi was Ning Zheng’s elder brother and ning yuanxian’s son. How could he let Ning Zheng kill his elder brother? To let ning yuanxian kill his son?
Ning Zheng couldn’t do it, and neither could ning yuanxian at the moment, so he had to do it.
To some extent, ning Yi’s crime of torturing Ning Zheng did not warrant death, but as a son, he tortured his father, ning yuanxian, so he would definitely die.
Soon, Shen lang made a decision. He would exile ning Yi to the deserted island in the East. He would execute him on this Island secretly and bury him outside the island.
“Ning Yi is unfilial and disloyal. He is exiled for thousands of miles and is not allowed to return to Yue country for the rest of his life,” Shen lang said.
When these words came out, ning Yi desperately kowtowed and cried, ” “Thank you, my Lord, for your kindness. Thank you, my Lord.”
..............................
Shen Lang’s gaze landed on eldest Princess Ning Luo’s face, and he sighed once again.
He and Princess Ning Luo could have become the best allies. He had even saved her life.
In the end, because Jin Jun’s Queen disfigured Ning Luo’s face, Ning Luo’s heart was twisted. She hated everything, including Jin Jun and Shen lang.
In fact, she had not done much evil. At least, she had not tortured Ning Zheng or ning yuanxian.
However, a few months ago, she had killed more than 500 people. These 500 people claimed to be the remnants of Shen lang, but they were innocent. They did not have to die because Shen lang had already made an agreement with the Zhu family.
In the end, ning Shao, this madman, was unwilling to lose face and delayed the decree by a few minutes. Princess Ning Luo’s heart was twisted, and she couldn’t wait to kill to satisfy her desire to destroy.
Therefore, she would die without a doubt.
“Shen lang, if you want to kill me or torture me, do as you please.” Eldest Princess Ning Luo stood there without moving. She looked at Shen lang arrogantly and let out a cold laugh.
“Capture him!”
With Shen Lang’s order, a few female Amazons went forward and cuffed Princess Ning Luo before taking her away from the palace.
Ning yuanxian had left earlier because he did not want to see this. Some things had to happen, but at least he didn’t have to look.
..............................
Finally, Shen Lang’s gaze landed on the Yue King, ning Shao. It was finally his turn.
To be honest, Shen lang had never seen such a twisted and crazy person. If one were to call him smart, he was indeed extremely smart. To say that he was stupid was simply subverting everyone’s understanding.
However, there was no doubt that he was the most selfish and greedy person in the world. He was more heartless than anyone else in the world. Whether it was his parents, his wife, or his children, he did not care too much. Everything was for his own happiness.
He did not feel any pressure killing his father, ning yuanxian, and he did not care about killing his brother, Ning Zheng. In the two years he had been the Prince of Yue, who knew how many innocent girls had been buried outside his courtyard?
This was an evil person, an evil person through and through, a person who was so bad that his entire body was oozing with pus, a person who was no longer worthy of being a human, a person who was worse than a beast.
Shen lang smiled at ning Shao.
The Prince of Yue, ning Shao, also smiled and gave a thumbs up. Shen lang, you’re amazing. Even Zhu hongxue’s blood soul Army was destroyed by you. You’re really amazing. I didn’t even dream of it.
no problem, no problem, ” Shen lang said.
“I understand, I understand!” Ning Shao said.
Then, he took off the crown on his head and the brand new Royal robe. “The throne of the Yue Kingdom originally belonged to Ning Zheng, but now it’s returned to him.”
“You are not the king of Yue in name, so you don’t count,” Shen lang said.
Then, Shen lang said,”someone, bring it up.” &Nbsp;
A few Warriors came forward, carrying brand new Royal robes and crowns.
“Send it to the king of Yue.” “Eunuch li en, I’ll leave this task to you,” Shen lang said.
“Yes, Your Majesty,”
Rion stepped forward and tried his best to control his trembling hands because his veins had also been cut.
Originally, Ning Zheng needed to take a bath and change his clothes, but he did not care much about that. Rien came forward with a few eunuchs and gave Ning Zheng a slight wash of his hair before he changed into a new Royal robe.
Then, Ning Zheng walked to the steps and knelt down.
Shen lang took the crown and helped Ning Zheng put it on.
This should be the simplest coronation ceremony, but also the most formal.
This meant that from now on, the king of Yue would be crowned by the great Qian Empire, and the Yue country would be loyal to the great Qian dynasty.
“Everyone, pay your respects to your King of Yue.” Shen lang said slowly.
Immediately, the thousands of people in the hall knelt down and kowtowed, ” “Greetings, Your Majesty.”
After two and a half years, the throne of Yue country finally returned to Ning Zheng.
Ning Zheng did not take his seat. He remained standing and said,”Announce to the world, from now on, the State of Yue will no longer be loyal to the great Yan Empire. We will be loyal to His Majesty, the great Qian Emperor.”
The court officials stepped forward and kowtowed again, ” “We will obey your orders.”
Ning Zheng continued, ” I hereby announce that the cabinet will be abolished. The Council of Ministers will be restored. Zhu Hong will be dismissed from any position. Ning gang will be the First Minister, Zhang Ji will be the second Minister, and Wang Chengqian will be the third Minister.
“Yes, Your Majesty,” the three ministers stepped out and kowtowed.
remove Ning Yu, Zhu Rong, and Zhang Zhao from all positions in the Bureau of Military Affairs, ” Ning Zheng said. appoint Duke Bian Xiao as the secret envoy, uncle ning Qi as the first Deputy of the Bureau of Military Affairs, and Duke ning Qi as the second Deputy.
The three of them stepped out, knelt down, and kowtowed,”as you command.”
Although Zhong Yao and Zhong E had surrendered to Shen lang, they were still Yue officials. Furthermore, they did not make any contributions, so they could not be promoted.
In fact, even ning Qi should not have become the Deputy of the Bureau of Military Affairs, because he had not made any contributions. Although he had not made a fatal mistake, his position had not been clear enough for a long time.
However, two and a half years ago, he had been the king of Yue for a while. At the critical moment, he would rather give up the throne than lay his hands on ning yuanxian and Ning Zheng. The glory of that moment could not be erased. In the past two years, he had tried his best to protect these so-called remnants of Shen lang. Most importantly, no matter if it was Shen lang or Ning Zheng, they both hoped that ning Qi could recover his previous sharpness.
“Ning Zheng, Ning Jing.”
With Ning Zheng’s call, the fourth prince Ning Yan and the sixth Prince Ning Jing stepped out.
These two people used to be on the crown prince’s side, especially Ning Jing, who was like a clown. When the SU family was in power, he bared his fangs and brandished his claws. After the destruction of the SU clan, he was in a constant state of anxiety and tried his best to curry favor with the Crown Prince. After the Crown Prince was finished, he had jumped up and down to curry favor with the third Prince, ning Qi.
However, when Shen Lang’s identity was revealed and the Imperial court of Yue country underwent a huge change, these two people were shocked like never before. They stopped being active and went into hiding.
After ning Shao had succeeded the throne, he had also made them come out to serve, but these two people still stayed behind closed doors and did not help the evildoers.
Of course, they did not do this because they were loyal to Shen lang. Shen lang did not have a good impression of them. However, at the crucial moment, they still stuck to their bottom line and were not willing to do anything for power.
“Family and country, family and country,” Ning Zheng said.”Although the ning family can’t not distinguish between the family and country, let alone the world. However, Yue country is in ruins. As the descendants of the ning family, you have to bear the responsibility and learn to share the country’s worries and be loyal to the great gan dynasty.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
“Then we’ll stop here for today,” said Ning Zheng.
The ministers knelt down again and kowtowed, ” “We will obey your orders.”
At the same time, Zhu hongzhu, Zhu Rong, Zhang Zhao, and the others took off their official hats and placed them on the ground. Hundreds and thousands of officials had all taken off their official hats.
They were also taking sides. Ning Zheng had already said that from now on, the great Qian dynasty would be the legitimate ruler of Yue country. However, these few thousand people were unwilling to be loyal to Shen lang and still recognized the Empire of Great Yan as the legitimate ruler. Thus, they resigned.
The stand of the entire imperial court was extremely clear. Those who knelt were willing to pledge loyalty to the great Qian dynasty, while those who stood were all loyal to the great Yan Empire.
What would Shen lang do with the thousands of people? Kill them all?
No way!
First of all, these people were all officials of the State of Yue. Even if they were guilty, they were still guilty officials of the State of Yue and had to be handed over to the king of Yue to be dealt with.
Secondly, to a certain extent, it was necessary to fight without breaking.
Shen lang was already at war with the Ying family, Ji family, stupa mountain, sky-Sea Pavilion, killing Sky Pavilion, and the other powers. However, he did not have any mortal enmity with the civil and military officials of the various countries. Just because they were not loyal to him now, did he have to kill them all? That would make him the sole ruler of the world.
To a certain extent, there had to be a tacit understanding. When Shen lang was exiled overseas, more than 100000 people were captured, and they were called the remnants of Shen lang. However, apart from a few hundred people who were killed by ning Shao and Ning Luo, most of the remaining people did not die.
If they didn’t kill your people when they were proud, then you shouldn’t kill them when you were proud.
Of course, those who had committed capital crimes still had to be killed.
After winning the battle in Tian Yue city, Shen lang was going to kill many more people. If all those who refused to kneel in the Imperial court were to be killed, then 80% of the wealthy and Noble families in the entire state of Yue, and 70% of the families of the scholars and Daoist would all be killed.
“Arrest all these people and put them in prison.” Ning Zheng ordered.
“Yes!” Ning Qi said, ” my Lords, I don’t have many troops under me at the moment. So, I won’t be shackled. I also hope that everyone will be aware of this and not make things difficult for me.
Shen lang laughed. there are still shackles. Just a few.
Everyone looked at the ground. There were a few hundred pairs of shackles on the ground, and they were worn by Ning Zheng, Zhang Ji, and the other leaders of the so-called remnants of Shen lang.
Shen lang picked up a pair of shackles and walked in front of Zhu Hong. He smiled and said, ” Lord Zhu, your Zhu family still follows the rules. Therefore, I, Shen lang, will follow the rules too. Come, come, come, let me put on these shackles for you.
Then, Shen lang put on shackles that weighed tens of kilograms on Zhu Hong. He did not let go of the shackles on his hands, legs, and even his neck.
“Duke ning Qi, put on Zhu Rong’s shackles yourself,” Shen lang said.
“Yes, Your Majesty,” ning Qi said helplessly.
According to ning Qi’s thoughts, he should at least give Zhu Rong some face. However, Shen lang was a vengeful person and was unwilling to give him any face. Therefore, he had no choice but to put shackles on Zhu Rong.
“And Lord Ning Yu, don’t leave him behind. He must also be shackled.” Shen lang said.
As it turned out, the great head of the Yue State, Ning Yu, trembled all over and was shackled with an ashen face.
Following that, all the high officials of the original Yue state’s imperial court were shackled. All the officials and nobles above the fourth rank were not dragged away.
This included the Earl of Jing ‘an, Wu Zhaozhong, and the governor of Nujiang County, Tang Yun.
“Earl Wu Zhaozhong and Earl Tang Yun, we can be considered old acquaintances.” Shen lang laughed, ” I’m too busy today, so I don’t have time to catch up with you two. But it’s okay, there’s still a long way to go. You two can stay in the black water station prison for now. I’ll be back to have a good time with you soon.
As soon as he said this, the two people’s expressions changed. You’re already the human Sovereign realm. Are you going to torture us, two nobodies? Are you that vengeful?
Shen Lang’s gaze was cold. He would not kill innocents, but he would not let off anyone who deserved to be killed.
ning Qi, don’t rush to send these 2000 Lords to the prison of the black water tower. Parade them around the streets first, let the people in the capital see them clearly, and then put them in the prison.
“Oh right, Lord Zhu Hong is getting on in years. You can let him walk around in shackles at the start, but when he can’t walk anymore, let him board a prison carriage. And it must be the kind where his head can be seen. You must let people see Lord Zhu Hong’s face clearly, understand?” Shen lang said.
Ning Qi’s scalp went numb again. He bowed and said, ” “This official will obey.”
At this moment, ning Qi was glad that he was still a subject of Yue country and not a direct subject of great Qian. Otherwise, he would have to accept many absurd orders from Shen lang.
At this moment, Zhu Hong really wanted to knock himself to death in the Imperial court so that he wouldn’t have to suffer boundless humiliation.
He was already over 80 years old. Why did Shen lang not leave him with any dignity? he even let him walk the streets in shackles and suffer great humiliation?
However, Zhu Hong didn’t dare to die now. No matter what kind of humiliation he had to bear, he could only protect the entire Zhu clan of Yue country.
“Everyone, please,” ning Qi said.
More than 2000 officials and nobles lined up and walked out, as if they had lost their parents. The hundreds of high-ranking officials and nobles in front of them were all in shackles and took humiliating and heavy steps.
However, this was only the beginning. They would have to walk at least fifty li for the next parade, and the hundreds of thousands of people in the capital would see them as prisoners.
This morning, he came to court happily and thought that he would witness Shen Lang’s death. However, he did not expect that he would be sent to prison instead of going home after the court. The changes in the world were too scary.
..............................
hahahaha! ning Shao said, ” “Interesting, interesting, interesting. I’ll never forget the scene in front of me. The past two years as the so-called King of Yue was like a fleeting cloud to me. ”
Then, he cupped his hands at Shen lang and said, ” if that’s the case, I will take my leave and go back to where I came from. I will return to the Tongtian temple and continue being a monk. Amitabha, good, good. Mr. Shen lang, we shall meet again.
After saying that, the former Prince of Yue, ning Shao, put his hands together and walked out.
Ning Zheng didn’t say anything because the right to deal with ning Shao was Shen Lang’s.
“Men, capture that beast, ning Shao, and slice him into pieces in front of the people of Yue country!” Shen lang said calmly.
