"In accordance with the will of the heavens, the emperor decrees that the daughter of the King, Princess Qingxian, is to be bestowed with knowledge and knowledge, bestowing the title of imperial concubine upon the entire palace, bestowing upon it …"

"Obediently, the emperor decrees that the former third class Fengyuan Duke, the Northern Field Marshal Shang Qiuyuan, loyal to his country, courageous and wise in battle, has led the troops to conquer several cities, to sweep away the rich and fertile lands, and to capture the traitorous tyrant alive. "I am very comforted. I bestow upon Shang and Qiu Yuan the title of first-rate Master of Fengyuan, with the title of Crown Prince's son standing side by side …"

Gong Jiu quietly sat in the great hall, listening to the report. After Huo Ni Lin had almost arrived at the southern imperial edict's border, he announced these two decrees to the world.

The fragrant aroma of tea wafted through the great hall. On the handsome face of the Nine Heavens Palace disciple, there was not the slightest bit of emotion as he lightly sipped on his fragrant tea. This tea was brought out from the palace by Shang Qiuyuan for him.

He lowered his eyelids and looked at the tea in the teacup. This tea was specially offered to the Emperor. It came from the peak of the mountain near the edge of the Southern Champion Country. There were only a few tea trees on that solitary peak, and they were known as the Snow Peak's Frozen Gold Feathers.

After Shang Qiuyuan's attack on Fenggong, he had searched for many things in the Imperial Palace and sent them to him. All of these things were things that the former monarch of Fengyuan enjoyed all by himself. According to his knowledge, Shang Qiuyuan did not leave behind anything like this. Most of it was given to him as an offering, while some of it was given to the Emperor.

He narrowed his eyes. The first decree was within his expectations.

"Your Majesty, you still can't let her go. In all these years, this duke has never seen you being so attentive towards a woman." However, how many days until the current you can be used? "

The few trusted generals did not even dare to breathe loudly. They held their breaths as they watched the scene of the nine heavens of the royal palace side by side.

He had also swept away the Northern Field Marshal and the position of Grand General. He had already become the highest official position among the Southern Champion martial generals, and also the highest official position among the Southern Champion martial generals so far.

It was already out of everyone's expectations for a general to be given such a high position. Moreover, the words "bestowing the title of first class Fengyuan with the position of Crown Prince's son side by side" was clearly an imperial edict. The King was going to hand over the throne's heir to Shang Qiuyuan side by side.

If it was in the past, this would make sense as there were no descendants in the Nine Heavens Palace. Although Shang Qiuyuan did not change his surname and entered the palace's ancestral hall, he was still the Nine Heavens Palace's only son, and was qualified to inherit the Nine Heavens Palace's throne.

However, the situation was different now. Huo Rao Lin should not have allowed another King to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Southern Champion, nor should he have allowed three of his imperial concubines to become pregnant in the ninth day of the palace.

This was obviously to borrow the power of Shang Qiuyuan to sever the palace for nine days, and even to provoke a fight between them.

The generals were indignant, but no one dared to say anything at this moment. They all looked at the expression on Gong Jiu's face and tried to guess what this prince was thinking.

They did not know that the Nine Heavens Palace had long since known that the Fire Lin Clan would issue this edict. A few days ago, when Shang Qiuyuan had come to beg for forgiveness, they had reported this matter to him.

Hearing this news, Gong Jiu wasn't surprised at all. He still calmly drank his tea, as if the news did not affect him in the slightest.

"Your highness, His Majesty seems to be unable to wait any longer. The young prince's been recruiting troops all this time, gathering together quite a few old tribes. His military strength and strength have greatly increased, and his underlings have now exceeded a hundred thousand troops and horses." If we add He Mo and Zuo Siping's troops, there's no less than one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers. "

He didn't quite understand why King Shou had not dealt with Shang Qiuyuan the last time he came to beg for forgiveness. What he didn't understand was why the Prince Shoulder had not dealt with Shang Qiuyuan.

In recent days, Shang Qiuyuan had been openly recruiting troops and using troops to control the surrounding prefectures. His strength had expanded to a worrisome level in a short period of time, but Shoulder King had always tacitly allowed it.

"Right now, the prince already has a descendant. Since the prince is standing side by side with the crown prince, it's only natural that the crown prince would keep his word. For the emperor to push the young prince onto the throne is intriguing."

An enchanting smile slowly formed on the corner of his mouth as he slowly raised his eyes and swept his gaze over the crowd. The surrounding great generals who had killed without regard could not help but lower their heads deeply, not daring to look directly into the eyes of the Nine Heavens Palace.

They knew full well how ruthless and cruel this handsome prince was. The entire world knew how strict the military rule was.

Deep in their hearts, they held a deep reverence towards the nine heavens of the palace. In their hearts, they only knew that there was a king that stood side by side, but didn't know that there was an emperor. They dared to defy the emperor's decree, but no one dared to neglect the decree of the palace nine days.

"Tell me your views."

"Your highness, this general suspects that there is some deception. Before the emperor left, he went to see the young prince. Perhaps the emperor has a secret decree for the young prince, or he might have some secret deal with the young prince."

"That's right, your highness can't not be on guard. Now that your highness' military strength has greatly increased, your highness is from Fengyuan, where you can call for help at any time." Your Highness must not forget how many cities have fallen without a fight wherever you go. Although these people have not yet fallen under Young Prince's command, this general is worried that they will still listen to his orders. "

"My lord, this general thinks that my prince's concubine is already pregnant and that my prince is in the prime of his life. The matter of my son can be discussed again. It would be too early to decide on the son of the Crown Prince. "

Zuo Si said worriedly, "His Majesty has already announced this decree to the world, so it's obviously a preemptive act. Even though Your Highness can make the emperor withdraw his order, I'm afraid that the young prince will be distracted by it this way." This subject is most worried about whether there are any unspeakable plans between the Emperor and the young prince. "

Everyone began to talk among themselves as they advised the palace's Nine Heavens Ensemble to retract its order.

Zuo Si, on the other hand, didn't quite agree, because in this way, Shang Qiuyuan and the palace would be divorced from each other. However, if he tacitly agreed to this matter, then there would be great troubles in the future.

Gong Jiu listened to the crowd in silence, not saying a word.

After some discussion, they realized that the Nine Heavens Palace was just sitting there and slowly sipping their tea. They didn't know what the White House was thinking. They shifted their gaze to Zuo Si. This advisor was usually trusted by the palace for nine days, so he had to come up with a plan for the palace for nine days.

Zuo Si stepped forward and bowed, "How does Your Highness think we should deal with this?"

Gong Jiu smiled faintly and looked at Zuo Si and the others, "This duke knows that you are loyal to this duke for my sake. As long as you are loyal to this duke, what else does this duke not have in hand?"

"Your subjects are willing to go through fire and water for their prince, and will not refuse even if it costs them their lives."

Everyone kneeled in front of the Nine Heavens Palace. They had all followed the Palace for more than nine years, and today, they were under Nine Heavens Palace's care.

Gong Jiu lowered his head to look at the people kneeling in front of him, "This king also knows that the emperor has once tried to rope in some of you. All these years, all of you have been doing it and this king has been watching. Among you, if any of you wish to stand on the side of the Emperor, This King will not blame you. After all, you have followed This King for many years. However, This King does not allow anyone to deceive This King. If anyone is with This King and his heart is elsewhere, don't blame This King for not thinking of old relationships. "

"We vow to be loyal to Your Highness. We have no other intentions."

"There's no need to say it like that. No matter how secretive anything is, do not think that you can hide it from This King. Today, I will make it clear to you and give you one last chance. If you want to follow the emperor and serve the emperor, then I will not hold you back. You just need to stand up and leave my military camp. This King will do as he says, and will not harm you by letting you return to the Southern Champion. If you choose to stay, This King will not allow you and others to have any ill intentions. "

A sinister gaze swept across the generals. Some of them even trembled slightly.

It was just as the palace's nine days said. There wasn't just one iron bucket; there were also many people who secretly had a secret relationship with Huo Ni Lin.

When the Fiery-Scales had never ascended to the throne, it had always used various methods to win over the hearts of the people. Among them, the most scheming one was the trusted general of the Tempest of Nine Heavens.

At this moment, the person who had a private relationship with Huo Ni Lin already had sweat soaked his clothes. Even though they lowered their heads, they could still feel that the piercing gazes of Gong Jiu's were not only able to see through them, it was also able to pierce into their hearts.

Sweat trickled down their foreheads. In this place, as long as the Nine Heavens Palace gave the order, they would be unable to beg for death.

The people whom Gong Jiu never hated died happily. When he thought of Gong Jiu's methods, he could not help but lower his head even more. No matter what thoughts they had in the past, it did not mean that they had decided to betray the palace of the Nine Heavens. After all, the Fiery-Scaled Tiger was the Emperor of the Southern Champion Kingdom.

Now that it had been exposed by the Nine Heavens Palace, the things that had been extremely secretive in the past seemed to no longer be a secret in front of them. It was just that the palace for nine days had not been revealed, leaving them face and opportunity.

Thinking of this, the few generals who had a private conversation with Huo Ni Lin lowered their heads even more. They were on the verge of touching the ground. Their clothes were soaked with sweat and their sweat.

Of course they could imagine that when the nine days of the palace had come out today, they already had the evidence and knew it very clearly. Being able to keep their heads until today was also a gift from the palace nine days ago. Otherwise, even if the nine heavens of the palace could pin a crime on their heads and make them fall, the emperor would not be able to protect them.

Regardless of how they once thought about it, their hearts were wavering. On the surface, they were still loyal to the King.

At this moment, only those who understood the current situation and injury of the reverse scale would know that the days of the reverse scale were numbered. Even if they didn't die, they wouldn't have the energy or ability to compete with the nine heavens of the palace for anything.

The current Nine Heavens of the Palace, after possessing the Southern Champion, was even more so in Fengyuan, so not only could it force the flame and reverse scale to abdicate, it could also ascend the throne and become emperor.

"Your highness, this subject believes that all the generals vow to be loyal to your highness. Even if there were some mistakes in the past, you will definitely know that you must correct them. From now on, I have no other intentions towards Your highness."

Zuo Si knelt on the ground and raised his head to look at Gong Jiu. He did not want anything to happen at this moment, so it would not be beneficial for Gong Jiu's control of the situation. At this time of employment, Fukuhara is not yet stable, the most important thing is to let the hearts of the soldiers calm down, calm the hearts of the people.

Gong Jiu slowly swept his gaze across the people kneeling on the ground. "All of you raise your heads and look at This King."

Everyone raised their heads, but no one dared to look directly at the Nine Heavens Palace. Wherever the piercing and dignified eyes of the Nine Heavens Palace went, everyone felt as if their entire bodies and even the most private parts of their hearts had been seen through.

Some of them were shaking and sweating.
