The ceremony was over.
Unprecedented perfection, even unparalleled.
After that, the emperor once again walked back to the palace.
When they arrived, the emperor's footsteps were heavy and his heart was gloomy. The ministers were light and happy.
On the way back, the emperor walked with pride. The officials walked with difficulty, their expressions were solemn, and even the shock in their hearts began to ferment.
Many officials were in a state of complete confusion.
The most complicated thing in his heart was none other than Crown Prince Ning Yi.
Today, he suffered the biggest blow.
Ning Zheng was so brilliant that he could be said to have stepped on top of him.
His position as the crown prince was loosened a little today.
Although his power remained stable, his reputation suffered a great loss.
What does the crown prince need most?
It's fame!
Heaven's will is the most terrifying.
Today this scene will soon spread throughout the world, and then it will be revealed that the will of heaven is in Ning Zheng, not in Ning Yi.
After returning to the capital.
Ning Zheng did not even follow the emperor into the palace, but went straight to Governor's mansion, Tianyue, and had no time to celebrate the victory.
He really wasn't putting on airs.
He had abandoned his official duties for three days for this ceremony, and he did not know how many things had been delayed.
In the next few days, he probably didn't need to sleep anymore, and he was going to work so hard all the time!
...
Crown Prince Ning Yi entered prime minister Zhu Hongzhu's study.
The atmosphere was a little gloomy.
The two of them seemed to be communicating in silence.
Ning Yi complained endlessly.
Why?
Father, why should he do this to me?
When Jiang Li was destroyed, he was like a lost dog, panicking all the time. In order to please the Zhu shi family, he took off his original wife and made the Zhu shi queen.
In order to beg zhushi to save him in yanjing, she begged Zhu Hongzhu in a low voice.
Did you forget all these terrible things back then?
What are you so proud of now?
Of course, the crown prince did not say these words, but let them out from his expression.
Zhu Hongzhu just looked at Crown Prince Ning Yi gently.
He knew the prince's intention and wanted to pressure ning yuanxian through Yan jing.
Crown Prince Ning Yi's ascension to the throne was not only the will of the Zhu shi, but even the will of the The great yan empire.
The emperor hoped that the successors of the marquis kingdoms below would be the rulers of the literati, not the rulers of the martial arts.
To put it more realistically, the emperor hoped that the next King yue would be under control.
To some extent, Zhu Hongzhu was more like a spokesperson for the The great yan empire. It was Jiang Li's downfall that made the The great yan empire the absolute leader of Yue kingdom's civil servants.
The destruction of Jiang Li had a tremendous impact on the whole world.
"Not yet!" The prime minister zhu hong said, "Even your majesty, there is no intention of being easy to keep. The people in the world are forgetful. Today's scene is really shocking. What you have to do at this time is to soften this influence, and everyone will forget it in at most two months."
Crown prince ning yi said, "But Ning Zheng has become famous. When everyone mentions him in the future, they will think that it is fate."
Zhu hong said, "Reputation is something that either the east wind overwhelms the west wind or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. But as crown prince, you must not put down Ning Zheng's reputation when he is really in the limelight. This will lower your style. Next, you have to do two things, the first is the battle of the southern ou kingdom! The so-called sacrificial rites are all false. If they fail, it will be easy to use them as the power to attack, because it is originally false. However, it is also false to act perfectly. Only the battle of the southern ou kingdom is real. Yue kingdom can only win this battle and cannot lose. If you win, you must take away the greatest victory. Because this is a war of nations, and it brings more than ten times more fame than the ceremony."
The crown prince was very clever and immediately understood what Zhu Hongzhu meant.
"Grandfather, what you mean is that if necessary, I will go to The southern ou kingdom to sit down!"
Ning Yi was not related to Zhu Hongzhu at all. He was only a descendant of the queen Zhu shi.
Even if he was born to the queen, he should be called grandfather.
Zhu hongzhu said, "Yes, when the war is about to be won, you go to sit down and reap the fruits of victory."
Crown prince ning yi said, "However, he is full of prejudice against me. When The battlefield of the southern ou kingdom is about to win, he probably won't let me enjoy this achievement."
Zhu hongzhu said, "What if the situation goes to the point where you have to go? If you don't go, it might even affect the outcome of the war?"
Crown prince ning yi said, "Grandfather, do you mean Nangong Ao?"
Zhu hongzhu nodded.
Now there are two people in The battlefield of the southern ou kingdom, general Zhu Lin, princess Ning Luo, and once Marquis zhenbei Nangong is proud, the momentum is no less than Zhu Lin's.
Zhu Lin, needless to say, was the crown prince's iron rod.
But Nangong Ao didn't rely on anyone. He was a ruler of the country, and he also rose to power by purging Ning Yuanwu's lineage.
Zhu hongzhu said, "Although your majesty is willful, he can still take the overall situation as the most important thing. Once the crucial moment comes, Zhu Lin and Nangong Ao speak at the same time. He will definitely compromise for the war situation."
Ning yi said, "To Nangong Ao, I have hinted many times, but he was not moved at all."
Of course, because Nangong Ao had reached the end.
The top position in the The privy council will always be Bian Xiao's. Nangong Ao has no hope, nor will he be promoted to duke.
To some extent, Nangong Ao had already become a supreme minister. What was the point of turning the crown prince into a minor guarantor at most?
So of course he didn't want to stand in line.
Whether it was the crown prince or third Prince, he only pretended not to see it.
Of course, Ning Zheng didn't take him seriously.
Zhu hongzhu said, "Nangong Ao will speak at a critical moment."
As soon as this was said, the crown prince could not help but tremble and his heart was filled with great surprise.
Zhu Hongzhu's words meant that he had absolute confidence.
What does this prove? That the Zhu shi has mastered Nangong Ao?!
"The second thing is, we can't let Ning Zheng continue to be strong. To be exact, we can't let Shen Lang continue to be strong."
Crown prince ning yi said, "Grandfather, can we use Tianya haige to capture Shen Lang directly?"
Zhu hongzhu shook his head, "No."
Any organization has a price.
However, some organizations are too expensive, just like you can buy a graduate degree from an ordinary school for a million dollars, but Cambridge and Oxford will definitely not beat your one million dollars, ten million dollars can be considered.
Just a Shen Lang is not worth it when Tianya haige makes a move and can't afford to lose this man.
Crown prince ning yi said, "What about Mount futu? What Shen Lang has done recently has already provoked their bottom line."
Zhu hongzhu said, "Mount futu's sphere of influence is not in Yue kingdom. What Shen Lang did was only to provoke their bottom line, but it hasn't crossed their bottom line yet."
So let Shen Lang do whatever he wants?
Zhu Hongzhu smiled and drank a cup of tea.
"Didn't you already do what you did to hurt Shen Lang?"
Crown prince ning yi nodded.
"But we just cut off his Nirvana army roots. That's not enough."
Zhu hongzhu said, "The military is Ning Qi's territory. You can talk to ning qi about some things. At least you have a common goal in attacking Shen Lang and Ning Zheng."
...
Of course, Crown Prince Ning Yi would not take the initiative to meet third Prince Ning Qi.
But Zhuo Zhaoyan and Xue xue met.
Zhuo Zhaoyan was the crown prince's outer room on the surface, but behind him was the Yinyuanhui, even princess Ning Han.
Of course, Ning Han never admitted it.
Zhuo Zhaoyan certainly did not represent Tianya haige, at most as a broker for princess Ning Han.
Xue xue was not only Yan Nanfei's direct disciple, Xue Che's daughter, but also third Prince Ning Qi's second wife.
Moreover, Mount futu was standing behind her.
Otherwise, the voodoo that framed Sword king's wife was nowhere to be found by Yan Nanfei.
When the two women met, it could be said that they looked down upon each other, yet they complimented each other.
"In the crown prince's mansion, zhuo zhaoyan met sister xue."
"Xue xue, governor of Tianyue, met sister zhuo."
Then, the two fell into silence.
After a long time, zhuo zhaoyan said, "Your highness, the crown prince means that there are more than three thousand imbeciles, half each."
The imbecile they were talking about was of course Blank zero blooded person, Shen Lang's second batch of Nirvana army.
Shen Lang called it Zero bloodline, which was a neutral term. And their voices were imbecile, full of contempt and contempt.
Xue xue said, "It's not fair, because it still depends on our relationship with Mount futu to change their bloodline into an ace corps after we snatch these imbeciles. So third Prince should get one third and his highness the crown prince one third."
Zhuo zhaoyan said, "Does Fu tu mountain have a way to change the bloodline of these people? Even if they do, will they hand it over to you?"
Xue xue said, "Don't bother."
Zhuo zhaoyan said, "Besides, even if you have the means to transform the bloodline of these imbeciles, will you give it to us? You have Mount futu, we have Tianya haige, and you don't have to ask for it."
Xue xue said, "The Black mirror division and the Black mirror division under Shen Lang have sent out a large number of elite escorts to escort 3,000 imbeciles, and the route is extremely secretive. If you want to detect their whereabouts, it depends on me, Blackwater table."
Zhuo Zhaoyan sneered, "The nirvana army said it belonged to Shen Lang and Ning Zheng, but ultimately it belonged to his majesty. So what if they found out where they were? Can Blackwater table reveal the news to you, or can they send out experts to rob people? Will it be the Nanhai sword sect or the Blackwater table?"
Xue xue was silent.
Whether it was Blackwater table or the Nanhai sword sect, they were the direct descendents of the monarch.
Some of the bottom lines they didn't dare cross at least for now.
Zhuo zhaoyan said, "The only one who dared to rob Shen Lang of the second batch of Nirvana army seeds was the Yinyuanhui."
The Yinyuanhui were powerful, and they had begun to fall out with the monarch. They really dared to do such a thing.
"That's it, more than 3,000 imbeciles. When we get our hands on them, we'll be half each!"
Xue xue was silent for a moment and nodded, "Yes, half for each!"
Indeed, the enemy of the enemy is a friend.
This was the first time the crown prince and third Prince had teamed up.
...
Time flew by, and another ten days passed.
The effects of the gold dragon blood that Shen Lang sold had gradually faded.
More and more people find themselves fooled.
Of course, at first, a lot of people thought it was because they touched a woman.
Because the drug was so powerful, even after Ning Zheng drank it, he still looked for his wife several times.
Not to mention these playboys?
I can't help it.
But there were always people who really held back and did not touch women, but the effect of the golden dragon's blood continued to decline.
After exchanging secrets with each other, everyone was completely sure they were fooled.
For a moment, the group was completely enraged.
You, Shen Lang, not only humiliate our dignity, but also humiliate our intelligence and deceive our money?
How dare you?
But at first, the group of people only dared to curse in their hearts, not to hit the door.
Because if it was made public, wouldn't it be like throwing yourself into a trap?
The crown prince and third Prince had said that anyone who gave Shen Lang money would be banned.
So he could only suffer the loss of silence and curse Shen Lang in his heart.
But just yesterday.
Both the crown prince's mansion and the third Prince's mansion had spread the news.
For the people who gave Shen Lang money, let bygones be bygones. What will happen in the future depends on their performance.
Now everyone understood.
It was Shen Lang's family who instigated all the cheaters.
As a result, thousands of playboys called for friends and gathered thousands of people to fight.
"Pay back, pay back, pay back!"
Thousands of people surrounded Marquis mansion of changping in ningzheng.
Of course, everyone knew that Shen Lang did not take half a gold coin for the money, and all of it was handed over to the emperor for military expenses, and even a sum of money was added upside down.
But these people are playboys, how can they control so much?
Moreover, more than half of Yue kingdom's powerful families are here.
Could the emperor still arrest them all?
The law is not to blame!
This group of people did not dare to rush into Marquis mansion of changping, only dared to shout outside.
He also reported the case to ping an and wannian county magistrates, and then to the governor's office of the central capital of Tianyue.
Of course, this muddle-headed lawsuit is not clear.
These dandies had plenty of time to surround themselves outside of Marquis mansion of changping every day.
And it was getting worse and worse.
"Shen Lang, you don't have a py."
"Shen Lang, you lied to us about our money. You must die a horrible death."
"Shen Lang, if you need money, why don't you let your woman sell it? Why are you trying to cheat us out of our money?"
Shen Lang was not angry at the abuse and siege, but the king was angry first and ordered the imperial guards to expel him.
Because he was the ultimate beneficiary of the money, and Shen Lang was merely the scapegoat.
However, it involved too much. Having cheated so many families of their money, the monarch felt a little guilty. At most, he could only expel them, but he could not arrest them.
Shen Lang turned down the king's offer.
He had to settle the matter himself.
......
"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."
Shen Lang's precious daughter was crying.
She was super obedient and almost never cried.
It was so noisy outside that the baby couldn't sleep.
At first, this group of playboys scolded carefully. Later, they found that the monarch did not respond, and Shen Lang did not respond. At once, they felt that Shen Lang must be guilty.
He must be guilty of lying to us for so much money.
We have already represented more than half of Yue kingdom's powerful and powerful people. Even if Shen Lang had three heads and six arms, he would not dare to make enemies with all of us.
So the more the group cursed, the worse it sounded and the louder it became.
It was not enough to scold them on their own. After all, there were too few people, and they were all very delicate. With the effect of the golden dragon's blood fading, they became useless again and had no strength to scold.
So, he hired local ruffians to scold him.
This group of ruffians was not very daring, but the dandy boys were too generous to pay, and this was a good opportunity to get along with this group of powerful people.
Even the crown prince and third Prince supported him this time.
So some daring hooligans came to scold these dandies with masks after collecting the money.
Seeing that Shen Lang was still unresponsive, the group grew bolder and more ruffians joined in.
In the end, a total of three or five thousand people surrounded the entire outside of Marquis mansion of changping.
He kept shouting and scolding day and night.
The noise made baby Shen Mi unable to sleep and he was frightened.
At the back, the group had the audacity to throw feces into Marquis mansion of changping.
For a moment, the whole of Marquis'mansion stinks!
Shen Lang gently coaxed the baby Shen Mi.
"Baby, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"
The baby was crying so hard that it twitched.
Bing er took it and let the baby eat it before it gradually quieted down.
"Uncle, go and transfer the troops!" Bing er said angrily.
Shen lang said, "Soon, soon."
Ningzheng Highness was almost done.
The City guards training is almost over.
The order of everything must be clear.
For Ning Zheng, the most important thing was to have 20,000 City guards in his hands.
Only by mastering the City guards can they attack the local ruffians and hooligans in the capital.
Spring Thunder Operation!
This was the code name for the cleanup of the capital.
It would be stronger than ever.
In a troubled world, we use heavy allusions.
The army is going south to The battlefield of the southern ou kingdom these days.
The war of nations was about to break out soon.
At this time, a stable environment is especially needed.
So this raid will be amazing.
They would hunt down all the hooligans, ruffians, and villains who have been harming the capital during this period of time.
All the demons and monsters were wiped out.
The emperor gave Ning Zheng the secret order, which had only one number.
Three thousand!
What does that mean?
Three thousand people could be killed!
And it could be done with justice.
In fact, the original intention of the emperor and Ning Zheng was not to kill them, but to banish them to life's hard labor.
However, because of the unprecedented success of the ceremony and the death of these hooligans and ruffians, this group of rich and powerful dandies caused trouble and completely angered the monarch.
I can't do anything to you dignitaries.
But you can take action against the ruffians you hired.
Moreover, these rich and powerful playboys were not clean themselves, and they were closely related to the gang giants in the capital.
Then this time, the Spring Thunder Operation could sweep the flames directly over their heads.
Take advantage of the reputation of the Spring Thunder Operation to capture and kill a group of people.
Kill the chicken to make an example of the monkey!
And this time, the Spring Thunder Operation will keep it a secret.
Even Blackwater table did not participate and li falcon was directly responsible for communicating with Ning Zheng.
The most direct result of the unprecedented success of the ceremony was the accelerated loyalty of the City guards.
Ning Zheng's training method worked well, allowing Nirvana army to integrate with the Nirvana army.
However, the speed was not fast, and with the effect of the ceremony fermenting, the reputation of ning zhengtian's chosen man spread.
This has limited influence on the middle and upper ranks.
But it was a big shock to Ning Zheng's City guards.
Because there were 2,000 City guards participating in the ceremony that day. They witnessed this with their own eyes, and they were hit unprecedentedly, and then quickly spread to the entire City guards.
Bitter-headed huan and the ten brothers of the lan family, especially the crazy lan, took the opportunity to constantly brainwash.
The training, which would normally take months to complete, was completed within a month!
Ning Zheng had completed his initial grasp of the City guards!
At least for now, this army has obeyed his orders.
...
At this time, more than a thousand rich men and thousands of local ruffians died before they knew it.
They continued to besiege Marquis mansion of changping all the time, cursing Shen Lang's eighteen generations.
Anyway, it was natural for Shen Lang to cheat him into returning the money.
Throwing dung and throwing stones, the means became more and more intense, and almost set fire to it!
And in Beiyuan hunting ground!
The last batch of City guards training was over.
The graduation ceremony was in progress.
A total of 20,000 City guards were standing on the school grounds.
They were a little surprised and surprised.
The end of the training was not a big deal, so why did they gather everyone together?
Is there something big going to happen?
What happened next confirmed their thoughts even more.
Because carts and carts of armour had arrived.
Carts of weapons arrived.
None of them wore armor during this training session.
Now that he's armed, there must be some big action.
A moment later!
Ningzheng Highness appeared in a uniform.
Kutouhuan was still in the rank of a thousand families, but he was the chief instructor of the training.
"Nail!"
At the command.
Twenty thousand City guards put on their armor neatly.
"Hold the knife!"
"Hold the bow!"
Following orders.
Twenty thousand City guards were armed to the teeth.
Then, eunuch Li Sun, the emperor's confidant, appeared.
"Your majesty has decreed, kneel!"
Everyone present knelt down.
But because of the armor, he knelt on one knee.
"The people who came into the capital are in turmoil, the people are restless, the lawless maniacs are tyrannical, violate the national law repeatedly, it is shocking! In order to make the country stable, the people live and work in peace, I have decided to carry out the Spring Thunder Operation and eliminate all law-abiding people in the capital. This operation is strict and serious, no matter who involved, I will not tolerate it!"
"Conferring the title of chief manager of the Spring Thunder Operation, chang ping, hou ning zheng!"
Ning Zheng kowtowed, "I obey your orders!"
All the City guards were shocked. They felt right. There was a big move.
Ning Zheng took over the decree, mounted his horse and ordered loudly, "Army, enter the capital!"
At his command.
The 20,000 heavily armed City guards left Beiyuan hunting ground and headed for the capital!
Spring Thunder Operation, officially open!
An unprecedented sweep is about to begin!
...
Shen Lang carried her down to the basement to calm her daughter down.
There was no sound of abuse outside.
In the dark, the baby was standing up with its ears wide open and extremely happy.
Because Sword king Li Qianqiu's wife was singing.
She sang such beautiful nursery rhymes.
Every capital almost sang to the heart.
Because she loved her children too much and longed to have one of her own.
Although she had recovered, she felt that her skin had not recovered, and was afraid of something unclean. Although she was extremely eager to hold the baby, she did not dare to.
So, she was singing.
One song after another.
The baby likes to listen very much.
"Cluck, cluck, cluck..."
Baby Shen Mi giggled when she heard the happy part.
She patted her meaty little hand.
Bing er was surprised and said, "Auntie is so awesome. Our baby has always been very serious and doesn't like to laugh at all."
Indeed, baby Shen Mi was reserved and had a high smile.
Shen Lang often made faces to make her laugh, but the baby just stared at him curiously with wide eyes and never smiled.
They even looked doubtful.
What is this father doing?
But now, listening to Sword king's wife Qiushi's interesting children's song, she actually laughed.
Listening to the baby's laughter, Sword king's wife felt her heart melting.
Then she continued to sing, not knowing where she got so many interesting children's songs.
The baby laughed and opened his mouth to learn.
But she still couldn't speak and only babbled.
...
Outside of Marquis mansion of changping.
Thousands of dandies and ruffians still surrounded and cursed outside with thousands of crafty slaves and ruffians.
Because Shen Lang ignored them, their curses became even worse.
"Shen Lang, pay back, pay back."
"You can't pay this money back, can you? It doesn't matter. Just let your wife come out to pick up the guests. We'll give you a sky-high price of 100 gold coins each time and 50,000 times to pick up the guests as payment of the debt."
"Shen Lang, you lied to us about our money. Aren't you afraid of being hit by lightning? I heard that your wife Jin Mulan is pregnant, and the son you gave birth to is definitely not piyan!"
Outside, the walls were not only covered with dung, but also filled with words.
Shen Lang pays back, Shen Lang pays back!
Liar Shen Lang, die a horrible death!
"Shen Lang, if it's not enough for your wife to come out and receive guests, you can come out and sell them yourself. Five gold coins at a time, I believe many men will come."
Then, a torch was thrown out of the crowd and directly into the wall.
Everyone was shocked.
How dare you!
It didn't matter if they attacked and scolded Shen Lang. After all, it was only natural for everyone to ask for money before he cheated.
But if you set fire to Marquis mansion of changping, that would change the nature of it.
Who set the fire?
Shen Lang's men, of course, were lurking among the rioting, besieged dandies.
After receiving the signal, they immediately made a big fuss.
Set fire to Marquis mansion of changping.
But Shen Lang still didn't respond!
Hundreds of people lurking in the crowd lit torches and threw them into Marquis mansion of changping.
Seeing this.
Are these troublemakers a little scared?
Whose... Whose person is this?
So tiger?
Would it cause trouble if it went on like this?
As a result, Shen Lang remained unresponsive and did not retaliate angrily.
Is Shen Lang so scared?
No way!
The hundreds of people, as if they had gone mad, kept throwing torches into Marquis'mansion.
A moment later!
In Marquis mansion of changping, the fire was raging.
Smoke billowed into the sky!
This group of troublemakers finally felt that something was wrong, and a very dangerous atmosphere was spreading.
And these ruffians were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, but they shouted.
"Well done, well done!"
"The woman who burned Shen Lang, the son of a bitch, and Shen Lang!"
"Shen Lang, come out, come out!"
At this time, the fire in Marquis'mansion was getting more and more shocking!
Can it not be amazing?
In a large open space, Wu Lie and Salty slave and other female heroes did not put out the fire, but tried to add firewood, so that the fire became more and more prosperous!
"Fire Shen Lang, fire little boy!"
"Come and see, come and see!"
But this group of dandies turned pale and wanted to gradually retreat to their homes.
Although these people are trash, they have some sensitivity in this area.
There's a conspiracy here!
However!
They can't leave!
Because the streets around Marquis mansion of changping are all surrounded!
Ten thousand City guards, fully armed, marched forward in a grand manner!
Seeing this army.
All the dandies almost fainted.
There was a conspiracy, a big conspiracy!
This, this is going to be a big deal!
"Bang bang!"
The ten thousand troops moved like hills, closing in step by step.
Close the circle step by step!
Ning Zheng was in Governor's mansion, Tianyue, and Kutouhuan was leading the army!
"You lawless maniacs, how dare you set fire to Marquis mansion of changping? How dare you!"
"Charge!"
"Arrest all those who break the law."
"Those who dare to disobey, those who dare to escape, kill or kill!"
At Kutouhuan's command.
Ten thousand City guards are charging!
Time out!
This group of rich and powerful playboys trembled completely.
After a brief moment of fear, they shouted.
"Run, everyone rush out. The law doesn't punish everyone. They don't dare to kill, they don't dare to kill!"
Of course, this group of people wanted to use these ruffians to break out of the encirclement and take the opportunity to let them escape.
And these troublesome ruffians also took the opportunity to rush after hearing the shouts.
"Rush out, rush out. The law doesn't punish the public. They don't dare to kill us."
"Shen Lang the dog thief, the sky is struck by lightning!"
"Run out!"
Thousands of local ruffians rushed out in a frenzy, trying to escape.
Kutouhuan's eyes turned cold.
I'm worried that the Spring Thunder Operation doesn't have enough targets.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
At his command.
City guards is raining arrows!
Let's go on a killing spree!
Blood splattered.
...
Note: second, today, two and fifteen thousand! The new february is coming, begging for a guaranteed monthly ticket, and the pastries continue to fight to the end!
