497 The world trembled, Sovereign Lord Jiang Lang’s Qi swallowed ten thousand li!
The first to explode was Yue country. This country suffered the most damage and hated ning Shao, the Zhu family, and even the Empire of Great Yan the most.
Therefore, wherever the good news spread, it would cause a huge uproar.
Wherever the edict was posted, there would be a sea of people.
Indeed, many of the families were still on the side of the great Yan Empire as they knew the Empire’s strength too well. They felt that Shen Lang’s victory was just a flash in the pan.
However, most of the scholars still had the most profound feelings for Jiang Li. If it weren’t for Jiang Li, many ancient classics would still be dark. The most recent feelings they had were for ning yuanxian and Ning Zheng.
For a long time, ning yuanxian had made the scholars of Yue Kingdom embarrassed, while the Zhu family had been buying people’s hearts.
However, the hearts of most of the scholars in Vietnam were still bright. The weight of Vietnam’s hundred-year-old Kingdom in their hearts was still very heavy. After all, they had been loyal to it for hundreds of years. What the Zhu family did in the end was to sell the Yue country to the Empire of Great Yan. In the long run, the Yue country might no longer exist as a Kingdom.
Of course, there was nothing bad about a great unification. After all, it was the eastern dynasty. However, the Empire of Yan had joined forces with six Supreme forces to seal off their civilization and killed Emperor Jiang Li through underhanded means. All of this was too dishonorable, and everyone knew it.
Especially two to three years ago, ning yuanxian and Ning Zheng would rather die than betray Shen lang, and in the end, they were reduced from Kings to prisoners. Such a tragic hero instantly won the hearts of all the people in Yue country.
In these two to three years, ning Shao took the position of Yue King, but because he didn’t get the position properly, it was hard for politics to be clear. Not to mention white horror, who was trying to capture Shen Lang’s remnants, the key was corruption and robbery.
How many people were imprisoned because of Shen lang and ning yuanxian? There were many families that went bankrupt, and the emerging families would definitely fight for wealth and power. Yan nanfei’s rise to power in raging tide city, how many merchants and nobles went bankrupt behind it?
How many families had been destroyed behind the rise of the palace of the Earl of anting, Zhuo Zhaoyan? Not to mention anything else, Xu Qianqian had just built up a huge family business and it was taken away in the blink of an eye. Over 100,000 people in Xuanwu city were originally farmers, but in the end, they became tenants of the Zhuo family and lost their own land.
When ning yuanxian was in power, he was rather lazy. When he encountered a troublesome problem, he liked to take advantage of it and solve the problem thoroughly. Therefore, the problem of land annexation had been very serious in those 20 years. Ning yuanxian was mean to the aristocrats, but he was good to the people, so he had always suppressed the rich and Noble families. However, when ning Shao took the throne, it would be the time for the rich and Noble families to celebrate. They would madly plunder the wealth and land of ordinary people. In just two or three years, the land merged by the rich and Noble families was more than the land in the previous two decades.
Therefore, in the past two years, the people of the lower class of Yue State could be described as having no means of living. It was unknown how many farmers and merchants went bankrupt, and even with Zhu Hong’s talent, he was simply unable to stop it. Because ning yuanxian and Ning Zheng had brought too much shock to the Imperial court of Yue country, all the upright people were unwilling to help the evildoers. The entire imperial court was changed, and those newly appointed officials would certainly want to take advantage of it. The political situation of Yue country was even more dark.
It was under such a background that when the news of victory spread throughout the Yue country, countless people felt as if the dark clouds had dispersed and the sky was clear.
“Long Live the King of Yue, Long Live the King of Yue!”
long live His Majesty Shen lang, long live His Majesty!
Countless people were shouting, singing, and dancing as they walked on the streets.
Of course, the citizens ‘hopes for a better life were placed on Ning Zheng and not Shen lang. Because when Ning Zheng became the Crown Prince, the program had been very clear. He was determined to implement the new policies. The noble and the families of the scholars and Daoist would impose a comprehensive tax, measure all the land of Yue State, and eliminate land mergers.
Originally, these new policies were very difficult to complete, even more difficult than ascending to heaven. But now, after two major changes, all resistance no longer existed. The entire state of Yue seemed to have been completely purged. Which Interest Group and aristocrat could still stop the new governance? There was no one left, so after Ning Zheng took the throne, the good days of the people of Yue country were really coming.
No one dared to trust Shen Lang’s ability to manage the world. However, everyone had absolute trust in his ability to deal with people. When he was just a live-in son-in-law, how many magnates had he destroyed?
Therefore, with the protection of Shen Lang’s great Qian Empire, it was a perfect combination for Ning Zheng to implement new policies in the country.
..............................
Shen lang had said that he was going to look for uncle Jing ‘an, Wu Zhaozhong, and uncle Jin hai, Tang Yun. Therefore, he came that night.
The grudges he had with this uncle of Jing ‘an, Wu Zhaozhong, surfaced in his mind.
Back when the entire world besieged the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu, this Wu Zhaozhong was one of them. He rushed to the front and wanted to take a bite out of the Jin family.
His son-in-law, Lin Zhuo, was sent to Xuanwu city as a chiliarch, and sent troops to cause trouble for the Jin clan every day. Of course, Shen Lang’s vicious plan was enough to make Lin Zhuo suffer and die a horrible death.
From then on, this uncle of Jing ‘an, Wu Zhaozhong, had faded from his vision, until he had another accident. This man reappeared and took on the position of governor of Tianbei province. In a short two years, his power had expanded more than two or three times.
Your Majesty Shen lang, we did have a conflict in the past, but you have already taken revenge. Wu Zhao knelt on the ground and said, trembling.
This Wu Zhaozhong was definitely a valiant general, second only to Nangong ao at that time. His meridians were not crippled, but he did not dare to even have the slightest thought of resisting as he knelt on the ground.
Shen lang had indeed taken his revenge. After Lin Zhuo contracted the disease, he passed it on to Wu Zhaozhong’s family of over a hundred people. Wu Zhaozhong immediately killed all of them, including his two sons and concubines.
Wu Zhaozhong continued to tremble as he said, ” Emperor Shen lang, I have never done anything to the Jin family or you ever since. I have never gone against you ever again. After you went overseas, I was summoned by ning Shao and I came back to life, but I didn’t do anything to offend your dragon power.”
Then, Wu Zhao knelt down again and kowtowed. “Emperor Shen lang, I don’t deserve to die, I don’t deserve to die. I beg you to spare my life. Please show mercy, Your Majesty.”
Shen lang looked at him and took a name list. He picked up a cinnabar pen and drew a cross on it. All the names on the list were members of the Wu family. As long as Shen lang drew a cross, it meant that he had to kill one person.
In the end, the entire register was filled with crosses. Therefore, sometimes, one needed the other party to be powerful enough to take revenge. In front of Shen lang, Wu Zhaozhong was like an ant. He could crush him with one finger without even saying a word.
........................
Shen lang came to Tang Yun’s cell. The former flower-picking lang was no longer young. His face had been through the vicissitudes of life and he had grown a beard.
Tang Yun greets Emperor Shen lang. It’s really like the vicissitudes of life to meet you again. Tang Yun knelt down and kowtowed. I’ve become a prisoner. You, on the other hand, have already become a Sovereign Lord.
This person was one of Shen Lang’s earliest enemies. However, after the battle of the Golden Mountain Island, this person disappeared from Shen Lang’s sight.
Due to the results of the strategy of “King across the sea,” Zhang Ji’s new policies failed. The palace of the Earl of Jinhai became a sacrifice. All of the Tang family’s fiefs were taken back, their titles were dismissed, and the entire family was almost killed.
At that time, the count of Jinhai, Tang Lun, felt that a great disaster was imminent, so he asked his son, Tang Yun, to take the initiative to expose him. In the end, under the protection of the Zhu family, Tang Yun survived. But even so, during the years when ning yuanxian was in power, Tang Yun did not have the slightest chance to stand out. It was not until ning Shao took over that Tang Yun restored his position as count of Jinhai and became the governor of Nujiang County.
In fact, Tang Yun was still very wise. Even after he regained his title, he only wanted to return to the Tang family’s Earl mansion and tens of thousands of acres of Manor. He had rejected all the previous fiefs, and he only occupied 20% of the Jinshan Island mine.
In the two years that he had been the governor of Nujiang County, he had captured many people, all of whom were known as the remnants of Shen lang. However, he did not kill them.
regardless of whether Your Majesty believes it or not, I’ve always wanted to take revenge before this. However, ever since your identity was revealed, the hatred between you and the Tang Clan has already vanished into thin air. I can only look up to you, ” said Tang Yun. the so-called revenge can’t be mentioned anymore.
Shen lang did not say anything.
Tang Yun said, ” I’ve been the governor of Nujiang County for more than two years. I’ve captured many people. But I’ve been loyal to my people.
There was nothing wrong with that. From the moment he was saved by the Zhu family, he had no other choice.
“Do you know Zhu Wenhua?” Shen lang asked.
“I know,” Tang Yun said.
Shen lang said, ” all the grudges between us have been written off. You actually had a chance. When my Army took down the Marquis of Xuanwu’s residence, you had the chance to come and see me. Of course, you did not think highly of me, so you did not come. You still have a chance when I attack tianyue city. You don’t have to surrender to me, but at least you don’t have to go to court. That’s why you don’t have a chance anymore. It’s a pity for your talent.”
Tang Yun knelt down and kowtowed. He did not say anything else.
Shen lang said, ” the grudges between you and I have long been written off. What about your charges? ” By the way, your brother Tang Yan’s martial arts has already broken through Grandmaster. Next, I will choose a marriage for him and take him into the nuptial chamber to bear children.”
Tang Yun kowtowed again. your humble servant thanks Your Majesty for your kindness.
“Goodbye.” Shen lang left.
Your Majesty! Tang Yun suddenly called out to Shen lang.
All scholars in the world, especially the smart ones, might stand on the Ji clan’s side for the sake of benefits, but deep in their hearts, they are on the Jiang clan’s side. Tang Yun said. He didn’t say this to beg for a living, but to lament from the bottom of his heart.
....................................
Zhu Hongping came to the prison of the Blackwater station to see her grandfather, Zhu hongzhu.
Zhu Hongping asked,”grandfather, do I have to take my clansmen with me?” Are you going back to the Yan capital?”
Zhu hongzhu shook his head, ” our roots are in the Yan capital. If we complete the emperor’s mission, we can be promoted to the Yan capital. However, the foundation of our business is in Yue country. If we return to the Yan capital now, we will be like stray dogs with nothing left.”
“What should I do next?” Zhu Hongping asked.
“We’ll wait, we’ll keep waiting,” Zhu Hong replied.
“What are you waiting for?” Zhu Hongping asked.
“We’re waiting for the next heavenly transformation,” Zhu Hong replied.
“Are you waiting for the sky-Sea Pavilion to make a move?” Zhu Hongping asked.
Zhu hongzhu shook his head. no, not sky-Sea Pavilion. My good grandson, when do you think sky-Sea Pavilion will send troops to destroy tianyue city? ” Will they kill Shen lang?”
“It should be soon,” Zhu Hongping said.
Zhu hongzhu shook his head, ” No. The entire world will enter a strange period of peace. Of course, this period of peace will be very short. However, it will definitely be frighteningly quiet. Shen Lang’s victory in the battle at Tian Yue city should have shocked the world. But the Yan capital, sky-Sea Pavilion, and stupa mountain won’t react immediately. Why do you think that’s the case?”
“I don’t think so,” Zhu Hongping said.
“Alright,” he said. Zhu hongzhu said, ” my good grandson is not bad. He’s humble and cautious. For things that he can’t see through, he definitely doesn’t make irresponsible remarks or make rash judgments. By right, the Yan capital would be furious and send millions of soldiers to the Yue again. The sky-Sea Pavilion would also destroy the raging tide city. However, that would not happen, because His Majesty is preparing to make a bigger move.”
Zhu Hongping sat down cross-legged and quietly listened to his grandfather’s teachings.
Zhu hongzhu said, ” two to three years ago, His Majesty used the excuse of eliminating Shen lang to speed up the competition to unify the world. All the Kings were conferred the title of Imperial Prince. Their cabinet was also reshuffled. In particular, Wu State and Chu State had been under great pressure from the Empire for the past two years. The two young kings had already endured it to the extreme. If he didn’t explode in silence, he would die in silence. They were supposed to die in silence, but Shen Lang’s victory in the battle at Tian Yue city gave them great confidence. Therefore, they might choose to explode.”
Zhu Hongping said, ” although Shen lang won the battle, his strength is still insignificant. He’s still like a Mantis trying to stop a chariot in the face of the Empire of Great Yan. If King Wu and King Chu dare to explode, they’ll be courting death, with a 90% chance of survival.”
you don’t understand these Kings, ” Zhu hongzhu said. especially these two young kings. They’re very stubborn. Even if there’s only a one percent chance, they’ll risk it all. Look at ning yuanxian. When he decided to go against the great Yan Empire, was he confident in Shen Lang’s return? That’s what a King should do. Most of them need to be rational, but they need courage at the critical moment.”
“Grandfather, are you saying that the great Yan Empire and the entire world are waiting for King Wu and King Chu’s reaction?” Zhu Hongping asked.
“Yes,” Zhu hongzhu said,’if these two young kings do not explode in anger and choose to be humiliated, the sky-Sea Pavilion will immediately send troops to kill Shen lang.’ Once these two young kings explode and respond to Shen Lang’s call to fight against the great Yan Empire, it will be a real change in the world.”
“How much has the weather changed?” Zhu Hongping asked.
Zhu hongzhu said,”the great Yan Empire’s millions of troops swept across Chu, Yue and Wu, killing all the royal families of the three countries.” From now on, these three countries will no longer become provinces of the Empire of Great Yan.”
Zhu Hongping couldn’t help but shiver. Was this considered an Emperor’s wrath, causing blood to flow thousands of miles?
Wu, Yue, and Chu were all kingdoms with hundreds of years of history. The history of these royal families was not much later than that of the Ji family, and they were all going to be killed?
The kingdom that had existed for hundreds of years was going to be completely destroyed? These three Kingdoms added up to more than two million square kilometers, with a population of about 70 million.
Zhu hongzhu said, ” in the emperor’s eyes, Shen lang has to be of value at all times. Sometimes, enemies are more useful than comrades. Two to three years ago, the Emperor made use of Shen lang to carry out a huge reform and reshuffled the cabinet in all the countries. Now, he’s making use of him to reclaim the Three Kingdoms and make them the Empire of Yan’s direct territory.”
the sky-Sea Pavilion and stupa mountain’s Secret army is so powerful. They can easily wipe out the Three Kingdoms. Why don’t they just send troops to destroy them? ” Zhu Hongping asked.
Zhu hongzhu said, ” the secular world is the secular world, and the transcendent powers are the transcendent powers. Although this line has become blurred now, what you said might happen one day? ” However, by that time, the situation might have already reached a certain level of collapse.”
“Doesn’t the Empire of Yan have its own secret army?” Zhu Hongping asked.
Zhu Hong said,”that’s a good question, a very good one.” But I can’t answer you, so you should think about it yourself.”
Zhu Hongping said,”then I’ll go home and wait for the change.” One more thing, Shen lang said that Zhu Ning should marry Jin mucong.”
Zhu hongzhu shook his head. our Zhu family can maintain a tacit understanding with Shen lang. However, we will definitely not form an alliance through marriage.
Zhu Hongping said, ” however, Shen lang is an overbearing person. He can’t afford to lose face. Master Kong ye of the Tongtian temple embarrassed him, so he killed all the 3000 soldier monks of the Tongtian temple. Even master Kong ye was cut in half. If we were to reject him directly, I’m afraid my Zhu family would not be able to withstand his wrath.”
“Then let Zhu Ning commit suicide,” Zhu hongzhu sighed.
“Is it a real suicide or a fake one?” Zhu Hongping asked, trembling.
of course it’s real! Zhu hongzhu replied. if we fake it, we will anger Shen lang.
Zhu Hongping’s face twitched. He had grown up with Zhu Ning. Although they often bickered, they were indeed the closest siblings. Zhu Ning was the Pearl in his grandfather’s palm. How could he just let her die like that?
Zhu hongzhu replied indifferently,”child, anyone can die for the sake of the clan, including the girl.” When you reach my level, you will know that it is easy to die for the clan, but the most difficult thing is to work hard to live for the clan.”
If he could, Zhu Hong would rather die than suffer this humiliation. However, he didn’t even dare to die.
..........................................
In the Royal Palace of Yue country!
“From now on, there will be no war in Yue country!” Ning Zheng, ” Shen lang said, ” you can show off your abilities and set things right. You can push for new policies and restore the country.
Shen Lang’s words sounded ridiculous to anyone. At this time, the key was to preserve the results of the victory and prepare for war.
Although they had won the decisive battle in Tian Yue city, the situation in Yue country was still very dangerous. The sky-Sea Pavilion could launch a fatal attack at any time, and the Empire of Yan might release a thunderous force that could crush Yue country in an instant.
If we don’t prepare for war now, how can you talk about restoring our national power? What new policies?
This was what ning Qi and ning gang thought as well. In today’s small court meeting, several ministers, prime ministers, and big shots of the Bureau of Military Affairs all wanted to submit a memorial and immediately form an army of one million soldiers to prepare for the next super war. They also said that the main focus of the Yue country was war, not peace. Everything had to make way for war, and they would even shed their last drop of blood to protect the fruit of victory.
However, Shen lang said that there was no war in Yue country and he wanted to develop new policies?
“Sovereign Jiang is right, there will be no more war in the Yue country,” said the Vice Minister of State Council, Zhang Ye.
“Minister Zhang, I’d like to hear the details,” said Ning Zheng, the Prince of Yue.
“The Emperor of the great Yan Empire is a man who would resort to any means possible. In his eyes, Emperor Jiang is not only an enemy, but also a chess piece,” Zhang che replied.
The sovereign Jiang He was referring to was naturally Shen lang.
“Of course, the Emperor of Great Yan didn’t want to see the victory in the battle at Tian Yue city. But since it has happened, he will make full use of this matter to squeeze out the greatest value from sovereign Jiang. He’s waiting for King Chu and King Wu’s reaction. Once these two kings respond to Emperor Jiang, they will launch a fatal counterattack in the country, uprooting the great Yan Empire’s forces in the Wu and Chu countries.”
after that, the Yan capital will take advantage of this situation and send out an earth-shattering Army to destroy Wu, Chu, and Yue. From then on, these three centuries-old kingdoms will completely disappear from history. The royal families of the Three Kingdoms will be completely exterminated, and the territory of these three Kingdoms will become the provinces directly under the great Yan Empire.
therefore, before King Chu and King Wu make their public statements, the world will be at peace.
“Once King Wu and King Chu make their stand public, it will be a World war in the east,” ning gang said. That only further proves that war will be the mainstream in the future. Our Yue country should be preparing our troops and horses to face the world War.”
Shen lang shook his head and said, ” Ning Xiang, this world War will definitely break out. However, it’s not now. I will try my best to prolong the time it takes for it to erupt. Moreover, the world had changed, and the pattern of war had changed. It’s impossible to win with a normal Army, so I don’t need the State of Vietnam to train their troops. On the contrary, I need the State of Vietnam to vigorously develop its National Strength, because I want to build an unprecedented Army, a super Army that can go against the secret army of the great Yan Empire and the six Supreme forces.”
“Once King Wu and King Chu express their stance, it will be a world-shaking event. I understand these two young kings. They will either continue to endure and submit, or once they express their stand, they will start a massacre in the country, causing blood to flow like rivers. They will choose to directly oppose the great Yan Empire and pledge their loyalty to the great Qian dynasty.”
therefore, I will not only protect Yue country, but also Chu country and Wu country.
When Shen lang said that, everyone was shocked.
That was because Shen lang only had a few tens of thousands of soldiers. It was barely enough to protect raging tide city, but it was not even enough to protect Yue country, let alone Wu, Chu, and Yue country.
However, until now, Shen lang did not let go of any empty words. All his bragging had come true.
Zhang Ji could not help but tremble as he said,”Your Majesty Jiang, do you want me to go to Wu State and Chu State in secret and have them maintain their relationship with His Majesty?” To give His Majesty enough time to prepare?”
“No, no need.” Shen lang said, ” we must not contact the two kings. If they are hot-blooded enough and trust me enough, we will follow their will. If they wanted to continue to compromise and submit to the Empire of Great Yan, it was up to them. However, if they publicly declare their loyalty to the great gan Lord dynasty, they can do so at any time. I can protect these two countries.”
I don’t need any preparation time. Before the battle at tianyue city, I have already been ready to welcome the changes in the world.
as long as King Wu and King Chu are willing to pledge their loyalty, I will dare to take over these two kingdoms. I will dare to take on the responsibility of protecting these two kingdoms.
The few people present were completely impressed. Shen Lang’s personality was completely different from Emperor Jiang Li’s, but his bearing was exactly the same. He had the will of an Emperor and was as imposing as a Tiger!
Shen lang said calmly, ” let’s just wait quietly. We will wait for King Chu and King Wu to make their stance clear. We will wait for the change of heaven!
