I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 385 The Window Paper That Can't Be Pierced
The cicadas are exhausted in the lingering summer, and the new autumn geese bring them.

The style of early autumn is very refreshing. They swing down from the spreading clouds, blowing away the heat of summer, blowing off the yellowing leaves on the trees, and quieting the hustle and bustle of Shuzhou City during the day.

Ning Yuke stayed in the "Royal Palace" as the "King of Shu" and hosted a banquet for all the officials in the palace that night.

During the banquet, she still never mentioned Ning Yongnian, but she got up suddenly when the banquet was about to end, and drank three glasses of wine in a row facing the northeast with red eyes.

Northeast, this is the direction of the capital.

It is also where her parents and two younger sisters are buried.
In this way, no matter what the people of Shuzhou thought, the ceremony of conferring the king had been settled under the "all eyes" and ended on the last day of this calm and breezy August.

And the series of shocks and changes it has brought to the entire Daning have just begun.

Tianji fifteen years, the first day of September.

Daning Palace, Shiqu Pavilion.

"Wei Qing, an army of [-] troops is about to come to Fengyuan, but this happened again in Shu Prefecture."

Shaking his head, Ning Yongnian looked up at Wei Xianzhi in front of him.

"You said, which side should I take care of first?"

"."

He was dressed in a black robe embroidered with golden flying fish, without any superfluous expression on his face.

Wei Xianzhi raised his eyes and looked at the memorials on the case that were almost piled up into a hill, and quickly replied calmly: "Go back to the emperor, I don't know."

"However, the dog is still trapped in the city of Shuzhou. I naturally hope that the emperor can send troops first to quell the chaos in Shuzhou."

"Stuck in Shuzhou City, yes, Changtian is still in Shuzhou"

Nodding meaningfully, Ning Yongnian casually threw over a long memorial.

"Wei Qing, this is a report jointly submitted by several censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate today, saying that Ning Yuke's rebellion was instigated by Chang Tian. I don't know if it is true or not. Why don't you take a look?"

"."

I didn't go to pick up the memorial, and didn't even read it.

Wei Xianzhi just lowered his head, then squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, don't read it, this matter has nothing to do with Gou Zi."

"Gouzi is usually a little reckless, and sometimes he acts insecurely, but he will never do anything against him."

"Let's take a step back, how could he, a prodigal who only knows how to eat, drink and play all day long, have the ability to instigate others to rebel?"

"I hope the emperor will see clearly!"

"."

A few words were filled with righteous indignation, but they were all nonsense on the scene.

Except for the ordinary people who were kept in the dark, everyone in Da Ning knew why Ning Yuke was able to get the support of both black and white in Shuzhou, and why he was able to proclaim himself king smoothly.

This is an open secret, but because there are too many entanglements behind it, no one is willing to pierce this layer of window paper easily.

Including Ning Yongnian at this time.

"Hahaha, Wei Qing, don't worry, I naturally don't believe these rumors."

"It's just that these censors who advised me have always been loyal to me, so I can't help but have doubts."

"Since you have said so now, let's let this matter go, and I will never mention it again."

Laughing twice, Ning Yongnian stretched out his hand to take the memorial back.

However, at this moment, a hand suddenly firmly pressed the other end of the long fold.

"Your Majesty, I feel that this matter should not be left alone."

"."

The white robe embroidered with the five-clawed golden dragon shook slightly, and Ning Yongnian's pupils shrank suddenly.

He was silent for a long while, and then asked a little coldly.

"Wei Qing, what do you want?"

"It's simple."

Wei Xianzhi's expression remained unchanged.

"Your Majesty, as the commander of the Xuanjing Division, I should investigate the matter of Shuzhou to the bottom."

"If this matter is really instigated by the dog behind the scenes, then I am willing to take people to Shuzhou to capture this evil son back to the capital with my own hands."

"But if these censors are talking nonsense and intending to use this to frame Gouzi, then they have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor."

"Your Majesty, according to the law of Daning, this is a capital offense."

"."

Frame, bully, capital crime.

As soon as these three words came out, the atmosphere in the entire Shiqu Pavilion hall immediately reached freezing point.

Xuanjing Division came to investigate Wei Changtian?

It's like outrageous fucking opened the door for outrageous - outrageous home.

Needless to say what results can be found out, it is obvious what will happen to those corrupt censors.

Yes, the lives of several censors are not important.

But the meaning represented by Wei Xianzhi's action made Ning Yongnian's expression become extremely cold in an instant.

A murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared.

He looked at Wei Xianzhi who had no panic in his eyes, and after a while, he finally let go of the memorial.

"Wei Qing, what you said is reasonable, then you can do it."

"."

"Yes, Wei Chen obeys."

Putting the memorial in his arms, Wei Xianzhi cupped his hands slightly: "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, then I will take my leave first."

"it is good."

Nodding his head, Ning Yongnian got up and watched Wei Xianzhi turn around and walk out of the hall in an unhurried manner.

A gust of cold wind blew in, and the temple door opened and then closed tightly.

However, until the footsteps outside the house could no longer be heard, Ning Yongnian still did not sit down.

He was thinking about what to do next.

Now that the Xu family has fled, the Liu family is dead, and the Dafeng war is under control, at first glance the situation seems to be extremely favorable for the Daning Emperor.

But you must know that in this process, the power of the Wei family has also been fully expanded.

Unlike the Xu family who had no sword in hand, the Wei family not only had a second-rank ancestor, but also firmly controlled the Xuan Jing Division who had just undergone an "expansion".

If this force is detonated, Daning will fall into a turmoil that is several times more violent than the "Xu family's strike".

No matter what, Ning Yongnian could not allow this kind of thing to happen.

So even if he has the strength to defeat or even kill Wei Xianzhi, he still must try his best to suppress the anger in his heart.

Even have to make concessions on some things.

"."

The candle flame swayed, illuminating the hall like day, and was swallowed by a long shadow.

In fact, from the moment Ning Yongnian recognized those "secret letters" and agreed to Wei Xianzhi's attack on the Liu family, he had already foreseen the arrival of this day.

It's just that he didn't expect it to come so soon.

It only took a month from the news of Prince Shun's case to Ning Yuke's wearing the dragon robe.

Within a month, a new king was established.

Ning Yongnian didn't know why Wei Changtian was so eager, but he had a new understanding of the latter's energy.

It turned out that the only son of the Wei family not only had the ability to kill the second rank.

He has unknowingly controlled everything in Shuzhou.

No, maybe not only Shuzhou.
At this moment, Ning Yongnian suddenly had a feeling.

He suddenly felt that the threat Wei Changtian brought to him alone had surpassed the entire Dafeng, and he should have completely extinguished the chaos in Shuzhou immediately.

But
The [-] troops are about to arrive in Fengyuan, do you really want to give up this hard-won opportunity?
If Dafeng was given another month, or even half a month, the outcome of this national war might not be as clear as it is now.

No!

Never lose the big because of the small!
But we must not let Shuzhou do whatever it wants!

After thinking for a long time, Ning Yongnian finally made a compromise decision.

There are still [-] troops in Yuanzhou, which is enough to deal with Shuzhou.

"Come on!"

"General Han Zhao has come to see me!"
