first minister

The news of the incoming army hundreds of miles away undoubtedly caused ripples in the night in Zhongjing City.

"Do you know? The British Duke and Prime Minister Xiao have returned to the army."

"Be careful! The British Duke and Prime Minister Xiao are the traitors Lu Rusong and Xiao Fengshan!"

"It's called like this now, but who knows whether it will be called like that again in a month or two!"

"That's also a matter of the future, let's just focus on the present!"

"Okay, okay! Then tell me, can they do it?"

"Difficult! Sishui Pass is a natural danger, and the imperial court is not without precautions against them. On the second day after taking the throne, Yue Pingwu led 1 people to occupy Sishui Pass and defend the enemy. What's more, the Yulin and Huben armies The commanders have all joined the palace and pledged their allegiance, and now Zhongjing City can only muster [-] to [-] soldiers, plus the city defense of Zhongjing City, even if they have [-] to [-] elite soldiers, it will be difficult!"

"Things are unpredictable, who knows, just like who would have thought that under such circumstances, the King of Jiaodong County could make a comeback?"

"Hey, that's right, it's difficult!"

"Then what should we do?"

"Just wait and see."

"Do you need to be prepared?"

There was no sound in the room, and he was obviously deep in thought.

The current situation is changing like this. Whether it's the aristocratic families or the homes of ordinary officials, they are all like small boats traveling in the huge waves. A single mistake may be in danger of capsizing.

However, for those "boats" that are already about to capsize, the news at this moment is like a life-saving straw.

In Uncle Ning Yuan's house, contemporary Uncle Ning Yuan quietly called several of his brothers to the study and closed the door.

"Do you know all the news?"

"I know, brother, what do you say?"

"What else can I say? Concubine De, that bitch, killed so many nobles and clansmen. How can we follow her? It's okay if the overall situation has been decided. Now that the British elite soldiers are attacking, we just need to welcome them again. When I return to England, I can live a good and stable life."

"However, His Majesty and the Crown Prince have both been captured by these rogue gangs. What will happen if the British Duke comes back?"

"Yes, and right now the British Duke and Prime Minister Xiao are still blocked outside Sishui Pass. Sishui Pass is known as a natural barrier. Whether they can get in is still a question."

"You guys are doing it one by one, so what if it's difficult? Why don't you do it if it's difficult? Then the situation of Xia Jingyun and Jiaodong County Prince was not more difficult than ours? People know that if they don't resist, they will die! So they tried every means to succeed, and it became After that, we will enjoy endless glory and wealth! As long as we help the British Duke and Prime Minister Xiao succeed, can't we jump from earl to duke? Our ancestors risked their lives so that we, our descendants, could have the wealth that lasted for hundreds of years. , now we can’t fight together?”

"Big brother said it! Listen to big brother!"

"Brother, give your orders!"

"Okay! Then let's make some plans and see what preparations we can make in the city now!"

In the Hanlin Academy, Xu Dapeng and Zeng Jimin stretched themselves.

"Brother Zize, let's go back?"

"Wait a minute, I'll finish proofreading this page!"

After a while, Zeng Jimin stopped writing, packed his things, and walked out of the room with Xu Dapeng.

In the Hanlin Academy, the lights are brightly lit.

The two walked out and met the bachelor who had humiliated Xu Dapeng in person.

Three days ago, with the succession of the King of Jiaodong County, Xia Jingyun, like a divine soldier descended from heaven, transformed from a rebellious minister and traitor to the first master of Fulong. Li Zhiyi, who was implicated in prison, was immediately released and was bullied in the Hanlin Academy. Zeng Jimin and Xu Dapeng, who were at the bottom, also saw an immediate improvement in the situation.

The Hanlin bachelor who once angrily reprimanded and humiliated him in person even smiled at him with some humility and flattery, saying that everything was a misunderstanding, and then shamelessly praised the two people, especially Xu Dapeng, for their tenacity.

At this moment, the bachelor met them face to face again, with a forced smile on his lips, nodded slightly, and left quickly.

Xu Dapeng turned to look at his back and frowned slightly.

"What's wrong?" Zeng Jimin asked curiously.

Xu Dapeng said: "Do you feel that Mr. Tian is a little strange today?"

"Strange?"

"Whenever he saw you and me in the past two days, his flattering smile was disgusting, but today, there is no such gesture at all."

"You! Could it be that you also like being flattered by this kind of people? Maybe he himself feels that acting like that is too shameless."

Zeng Jimin was a gentleman after all, and he gave the other party an explanation that he thought was reasonable.

Xu Dapeng thought for a while and said no more, and the two of them went home.

The head of the Qin family saw off the last guest. He looked up at the sky and saw that it was just past midnight.

This was his most leisurely day in the past three days since the coup.

But he was very tired, but there was no relaxation in his heart. It was obvious that he had heard the news that spread rapidly in the city today.

So he got up and went to the backyard.

That day, I mustered up my courage and personally led the dead soldiers to charge for a while. Although there were carriages behind them, it really cost the old family master Qin a lot of energy. He has been resting these days. At the moment, he is in the backyard waterside pavilion, taking a Holding a fishing rod, fishing quietly.

The head of the Qin family walked in. When he saw this, he restrained his movements and lowered his voice, "Father."

"Ah."

"News came from the city today. The British Duke, oh no, the traitor Lu Rusong and the traitor Xiao Fengshan led their troops back to attack the capital. People in the city were panicked for a while."

"Ah."

The old head of the family said lightly again. Just when the head of the Qin family was a little confused and didn't know how to answer, the old head of the family spoke, "What do you think?"

The head of the Qin family thought for a while and tried his best to consider the words: "My child is a little worried. The bandit army is strong. Now, although Guanzhong, Wuwei Prefecture, Yanyuan Prefecture, Yuyan Prefecture and other places have responded, they do not have direct access to Zhongjing. Yunmeng The state army is blocked in Xiangyang, and the isolated city of Zhongjing is entrenched with no support from all sides. Behind the British army are Langya, Jiuhe, and Baili states. If Sishui Pass is breached, the overall situation may be worrying!"

The head of the family didn't even look back, "Didn't Yue Pingwu already lead his troops to Sishui Pass to capture the enemy? Yulin and Huben surrendered. Where are there any large armies in other places that can threaten Zhongjing?"

The head of the Qin family sighed, "But things are unpredictable. If you think that the other party was in such a good situation before, we can turn it around, and the other party may not be able to do it!"

The old head of the family finally turned around and looked at him steadily. The head of the Qin family thought that he had finally gained his father's approval, and was about to further elaborate on his point of view. Unexpectedly, the old head of the family suddenly raised his voice and stood up like a chestnut, "Idiot! Idiot! idiot!"

"Hey! Father, don't do it, eh! I was wrong!"

The old patriarch stopped, "What's wrong?"

The head of the Qin family:.
The old head of the family snorted, but didn't do anything again, "Since you know that Xia Jingyun can lead everyone to comeback in such a situation, then you don't think that he can still lose with so many chips in his hand. ?”

He sat back down angrily, "Besides, that old guy from the Su family is really crazy! Your father and I have made such a great contribution this time. If he doesn't want his granddaughter to be a concubine in the future, he won't rack his brains to do it." A corresponding credit?"

"Go out and take a look. How many of the central ministers are panicking? You are the only half-hearted people out there who think you are right! It doesn't matter if others are half-hearted. You know so much more than them, and yet you can still say such stupid things. Just tell me. What's good about you!"

He glared at his son angrily, "One day at a time, be less fussy and more...forget it, let's go, let's go, you are so noisy that it scares all my fish!"

The head of the Qin family touched his nose angrily and muttered: "Aren't you making trouble yourself?"

"Ok?"

"It's okay, kid, please leave."

Being such an adult, he was naturally a little unhappy to be scolded all over his face, but compared to this, the head of the Qin family felt that the trip was worth it because he felt completely relieved.

In the Ministry of Rites, three days ago, on the day of the incident, the former Minister of Rites, Wang Ruoshui, abandoned his wife and son, fled in fear of crime, and disappeared. The original right minister of the Ministry of Rites directly changed from the third-in-command in the Ministry of Rites to the temporary first-in-command. Overjoyed, he started immediately Busy day and night.

It is indeed a big job to prepare all the ceremonial procedures for holding the enthronement ceremony within these three days, but for the sake of my own future, and to show my face in front of the new king, I have to make a great contribution that will definitely be remembered by the new king. , of course he knows how to exploit his subordinates at all costs.

But what is more conscientious than others is that he also knows how to exploit himself.

At this moment, with huge dark circles under his eyes and bloodshot eyes, he was once again checking the books, ritual music, treasure cases, table cases, imperial edicts, various dresses, etc., and was so busy that his feet did not touch the floor.

After being able to get some rest and sit down to drink tea and take a breath, he learned the news.

He silently drank the tea in the cup and looked at these well-prepared things with concern.

On second thought, I comforted myself, if there really was another emperor, I was most familiar with this set of things, so it should still be of use to me.

Thinking of this, he put down the cup of tea in his hand. With so many things to worry about, I am just a worker, and it is not my turn to worry about the situation in the city.
-
In the palace, Xia Jingyun stood in the imperial study room, looking at Dongfang Bai and Concubine De who was sitting next to Dongfang Bai, and said with a smile: "The people in this city generally have these kinds of ideas. They firmly believe in us and hesitate. Those who want to hedge their bets, those who don’t worry about it, and those who are ecstatic and want to take advantage of the opportunity to prepare to overthrow us.”

"Originally, I wanted to discuss it with the Queen Mother and Her Majesty, and seduce them a little, such as postponing the coronation ceremony, and then show weakness, so that they can jump out and catch them all."

Dongfang Baideng opened his mouth to speak, but Xia Jingyun stopped, "What advice does your Majesty have?"

Dongfang Bai shook his head again, "Since uncle said so, you have already thought of all the things I am thinking about, so I don't need to say more."

Xia Jingyun and De Fei both smiled slightly, and Xia Jingyun said: "Indeed, at this time, you must not lose the big for the small. The whole situation is ruined for a few grasshoppers, so the gain is not worth the loss. Therefore, I can only let them go for the time being. But I have already Ask Yanzhi to help you pay more attention, if there is any abnormal movement, they will not be able to escape."

Concubine De said, "Should the Black Ice Platform be kept or dispersed?"

Xia Jingyun thought for a while, "I think it's better to maintain the status quo for now. Wait for Mr. Zhao to come to Beijing and ask for his opinion. He is more proficient in this matter and I think he can come up with the best solution."

Xia Jingyun is very disgusted with this kind of spy agency, but he also knows that in this era to maintain rule, it is very necessary for the emperor who has lived in the palace for a long time to have "smart ears and eyes". The knife itself is not guilty, it still depends on who uses it and how to use it.

Therefore, we really need to have a good discussion with the old "secret chief", Mr. Zhao.

Concubine De hummed, "You can make up your mind about matters in the outer court. There will be no chaos in the palace."

As soon as these words were said, there was an inexplicable tacit understanding between the male protagonist and the female protagonist, which made both of them feel strange.

Xia Jingyun bowed and changed the subject, "Jiang Yuhu has finished observing his filial piety and rushed to the front line of Sishui Pass. With him and Yue Pingwu, plus [-] elite troops, and with the help of the natural barrier of Sishui Pass, the capital can be protected. Right now. , I am more worried about rebellions in other states."

Concubine De also regained her composure, "Indeed, due to the power struggle between the DPRK and the Central Government, the suppression of the rebels has been intermittent. The government affairs in various places have not only failed to keep up, but have become increasingly chaotic. The people are looking forward to the king. We should try our best to do it." , to stabilize the world as soon as possible is the first benefit that Xuel's ascension to the throne will bring to all the people in the world."

After speaking, Concubine De sighed softly, "It's a pity that there are many people in the world who have responded to the appeal, but so far, only the messenger has been seen but not the reality. In the end, this court situation may have to fall on Lu Rusong and Xiao Fengshan. "

Xia Jingyun nodded and said: "This is not beyond our expectation. For these people, their status is already high enough. It is difficult for the court to give them more benefits, as long as we have not clearly separated them. They will not give up easily in terms of victory or defeat. Even if they guess a few points, there is no need to gamble. So, again, whoever wins will help whoever wins. As long as we can create a situation where the opponent is defeated, They will help us bury them."

"However, as long as these feudal officials don't turn their heads to Lu Rusong and Xiao Fengshan, the purpose of that appeal will be achieved."

He smiled slightly and said, "Actually, the situation is already under control. We just need to work hard on internal affairs and sort out the court. The future will get better and better."

Concubine De said softly: "I heard that the war in Xiangyang City was somewhat unfavorable?"

Xia Jingyun smiled slightly, "In my previous letter to Mr. Su and Mr. Zhao, I mentioned the attack on Guangling Prefecture. If my prediction is correct, this should be their strategy to follow the trend. If the news spreads, We will receive news as soon as tomorrow. Therefore, the Queen Mother and Her Majesty can sleep peacefully tonight and wait for the coronation ceremony tomorrow."

Concubine De had no doubts about Xia Jingyun's words and said, "I hope everything goes as you said. Thank you for your hard work."

Xia Jingyun bowed and said, "If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

Concubine De gently patted Dongfang Bai's shoulder. Dongfang Bai stood up and saluted Xia Jingyun, "Thank you for your hard work, uncle."

Xia Jingyun quickly returned the gift, glanced at Concubine De, nodded slightly, and turned to leave.

Looking at Xia Jingyun's back, Concubine De took a few deep breaths and suppressed her surging emotions.

Dongfang Bai turned to look at her, "Mother, are you feeling unwell?"

Concubine De forced out a forced smile and said, "Xie'er, you will grow up, be in charge, and have your own ideals and pursuits. However, my mother hopes that you will remember the things you have experienced these days. No matter where you go, you will have your own ideals and pursuits." No matter how high or far you go, don’t forget the way you came, let alone everything on this road.”

Dongfang Bai said softly: "Does the queen mean that the children should never be suspicious of uncle in the future?"

Concubine De's eyes were dark, thinking in her heart that it was actually not impossible for him to sit in this position.

If he really sat down, his life would be over.
In the empty and lonely hall, a woman's slow voice sounded, "Yes, don't be suspicious."

Her son, who was dependent on each other, nodded heavily.
-
The next day, early morning.Among the imperial guards who were already selecting the best, Shang Zhicheng mobilized elites who had absolute trust and could demonstrate the royal dignity and majesty to guard the palace gates everywhere.

The emperor's jade seal and the memorials presented by the ministers were placed in treasure cases and placed under the throne of Huangji Hall.

The rest were arranged by the Ministry of Rites and placed outside the Huangji Hall, with various tables and tables.

The majestic Lu Book decorates the huge square outside Huangji Palace in solemnity.

Zhonghe Shao music and Danbi Da music, the two bands are displayed outside the Huangji Hall.

The clan members, nobles, civil and military officials all stood solemnly in the square outside the main hall.

This is the coronation ceremony of the new emperor that the ministers and the people have been waiting for for several days.

Originally, according to the practice of the Great Xia Dynasty, the minister of the Ministry of Rites would invite the enthronement to the throne at the beginning of the ceremony.

However, because Wang Ruoshui, the Minister of Rites, was arrested, the key task center thought about it and fell on Xia Jingyun.

With him here, even Wanxiang felt that he was not qualified for this job.

So, Xia Jingyun dressed in court clothes, stood in front of the officials, and shouted loudly to invite the new emperor to succeed him.

Then the new emperor Dongfang Bai, who was dressed in mourning clothes, and the queen mother Yun Qingzhu walked out hand in hand, and first went to worship in front of Emperor Chongning's soul, kowtowing three times and bowing nine times.

After leaving, the bead curtain was hung down in the main hall of Emperor Chongning to show the temporary suspension of filial piety.

When Dongfang Bai and Concubine De, who had changed into the clothes of the emperor and the queen mother, came out, the ceremony and music started, everything was as planned and went as usual.

The long and complicated etiquette is not only a test of the obedience of the ministers, but also an institutional recognition of the supreme being in charge of the world. From then on, at least from the perspective of orthodoxy and legal rationality, Dongfang Bai's position as the supreme ruler of the world will no longer exist. There will be too many doubts.

As the sun reaches its peak, the entire ceremony has come to the last item, which is also the one that everyone is looking forward to.

The new emperor issued an edict.

This edict usually demonstrates the emperor's orthodoxy of adhering to the will of heaven, earth and ancestors and ruling the world, and then issues policy agenda and amnesty orders.

At the same time, it will often be accompanied by rewards from the feudal officials.

This is the moment for these "following the dragon" ministers to enjoy the fruits.

After the etiquette officer finished reciting the first edict, which didn't have much new meaning, he slowly reached out and picked up the second edict.

Amid countless expectant and curious eyes, he slowly began to recite.

Putting aside the densely decorated rhetoric and useless words, many people get the results they want.

Han Xueming was promoted to Minister of Rites, and Xing Shigu was appointed Minister of Criminal Affairs.

Li Tianfeng was appointed as the minister of the family, and he joined Zhongshu's family to make peace with the affairs and entered the central government.

Wei Yuanzhi was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and he was promoted to the central government under the same title as Zhongshu.

Wan Wenbi remained the prime minister, and Yang Weiguang, the former minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was promoted to deputy prime minister.

Yang Yinghui, the commander of the patrol battalion, was granted the title of Shunyi Bo, and was granted the title of General Guide. He was appointed as the commander of the patrol battalion as before, and was specially awarded to the hero of Baoshun Guoyi.

The commander of the Forbidden Army, Shang Zhicheng, was granted the title of Yiyong Bo, and was appointed as General Huaihua. He was appointed as the commander of the Forbidden Army as before, and was specially awarded to Yiwei for his loyalty and bravery.

Yue Pingwu, the general of the Central Guard Army, was granted the title of Bo Zhongyi, and was given the title of General Yunhui. He was appointed as the general of the Central Guard Army as before, and was specially awarded to the loyal and brave hero of Yiwei.

Hearing this, everyone probably understood that this was released backwards, so with some certainty, they became curious about the final rewards.

Baiyunbian, the magistrate of Chuning County, was granted the title of Xing'an Bo. He was also appointed as the governor of Huai'an County.

Su Zongzhe, the Duke of Taiyuan County, was promoted to the first rank of An Guogong and became a Grand Master. He was specially awarded the title of "loyal and co-conspirator", and his family members and relatives were also given titles.

Fengyang Gong Qin Baolin was promoted to the first rank of Lu Guogong. He was specially awarded to commend the loyal and meritorious officials, and his family members and relatives were also given titles.

In addition to these rewards, each person also received some rewards such as food and goods, which made the etiquette officer's mouth dry, his voice hoarse, and his heart was filled with envy.

After reading Qin Baolin's reward, the etiquette officer couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The ministers below also waited with bated breath, because there was another person who was destined to be rewarded with a great reward, but he had not yet been mentioned.

"The Tongyi doctor, Xia Shi Jingyun, is the most talented at the present time. He is as loyal as the sages. He is loyal and able to rely on heaven to determine the country. He is wise enough to help the crisis and bring peace to the world. He is not afraid of danger and has a sound plan. He brings order to chaos. He has made great contributions. He ordered the feudal Ning County to be established. The Marquis of the Founding of the State was given the special gift of promoting loyalty, cooperating with Tongde, assisting and managing meritorious officials, being appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and serving as a minister. Tongzhongshu was responsible for Pingzhangshi, and was given the command of the governor of Sishui Prefecture from afar, with a settlement of [-] households, and two imperial villas. Jade."

The etiquette officer was still reciting the remaining words of praise, and the civil and military officials below were already crazy with envy.

What is reaching the sky in one step, this is called reaching the sky in one step!
Half a year ago, he was just a candidate.

Three months ago, there was only one champion.

Now, he is the founding prince of the country, an important minister in the central government, and he is the most favored and trustworthy person in the country.

The key thing is that he is not even 21 years old!
A 21-year-old central minister!

Apart from those princes who came to practice government affairs in the early years of the dynasty, who else has had such an honor?

But the problem is that the officials standing in the square at this moment, or the people who are not in the square, actually think that he has no virtue and is not worthy of his position.

Counting his achievements along the way, he really deserves it all!
Some people even think that he is just a marquis?
Why should he be made a Duke for such great achievements?
The more they thought about it, the more shocked they became. The 21-year-old Xia Jingyun could already fully afford this incredible wealth!

A star destined to shine in Daxia's political arena was completely lifted into the sky at this moment, allowing everyone to look up to it.

If he hadn't been at the grand ceremony at this moment, countless ministers would have flocked to congratulate him.

As a result, envious eyes quietly looked at the civil servants standing in the middle.

The tall and inconspicuous young man standing among them was the brightest star in the entire square at the moment.

Among these gazes, a slightly cold and mocking gaze flashed away.

Ning Yuanbo stood in the team, looked at Xia Jingyun who looked calm and composed, and then glanced at Dongfang Bai who was sitting on the dragon chair above him. While enduring the fatigue and hunger after getting up early in the morning, he looked like He snorted humbly in his heart.

Be proud, be arrogant, you won't be able to dance for long!

Right now you only have three states, plus an isolated city in Beijing, just wait and see!

Don't think you are safe!

If I can make a great contribution this time, maybe I will be the one to receive such a reward!
While he was thinking wildly, the ceremony finally came to an end after a burst of drums.

"Marquis Jianning, congratulations!"

"Master Xiahou, you are well-deserved for this special honor!"

"Master Xia, I have recently acquired several new calligraphy paintings. You are a great talent in the world and a master of calligraphy. When will you come to appreciate them?"

Seeing everyone surrounding Xia Jingyun with humble and fawning expressions, Ning Yuanbo snorted coldly and strode out with a hint of the thought that everyone was drunk and I was alone.

At this moment, a fast horse galloped up and reined it in front of everyone who had just walked out of the palace. Gongsun Jing got off the horse, looked at Xia Jingyun and said excitedly: "Sir, the flying pigeons in Guanglingzhou sent a message. Last night the Dongting Navy , the Longshou Army made a surprise attack on Jinling City. Master Bai Yunbian led the generals to go down to Jinling on a rainy night and killed Xiang Xiyuan, the herdsman of Guangling Prefecture. Now that Jinling has been captured, the whole territory of Guangling Prefecture can be determined!"

The people surrounding Xia Jingyun were stunned for a moment, and then became ecstatic. If Guangling was obtained, the entire south would be connected. Dragon Head could also be connected to the three states. As long as the road to Zhongjing is opened, Zhongjing will not be a helpless city at all. It was an outstretched fist.

More importantly, when this piece fell, the situation on the chessboard suddenly changed.

The territory that our side used to have in the east and west has now instantly become a force that occupies half of the country and has the righteousness of the monarch and ministers. It also has countless supporters from other states, and has an absolute advantage over any force in the world.

It goes so far as to say that even if the Sishui Pass is broken and the rebels approach the city, they will still have a steady stream of support from Yunmeng State and a solid retreat.

In the midst of joy, Ning Yuanbo was stunned. He stared blankly at Gongsun Jing who was delivering the message, and a thought came to his mind: If it is fake, it must be fake.

At this moment, Xia Jingyun suddenly felt someone staring at his back. He couldn't help but look back and saw what seemed to be an honorable man. He smiled slightly and walked away immediately.

Uncle Ning Yuan was full of fear. Seeing this, he suddenly felt like his soul was gone. Was he laughing just now?

Why is he half-smiling?

This smile is so scary. Did he already know his plan, so he deliberately hit me?
The confused Ning Yuanbo didn't even know how he got back to the mansion. He sat in the study room of the mansion, swallowed, and found that his hands were shaking unconsciously.

boom!
I don't know how long it took, but the study door was suddenly pushed open. Ning Yuanbo trembled all over and felt a warm current quietly flowing out between his legs.

Fortunately, the ones who broke in were not the officers and soldiers who came to take him to jail, but his third brother.

"Big brother!"

Ning Yuan Boqiang sat calmly, "What?"

"There is news from Xiangyang. After the imperial court captured Jinling City, Wang Jixiong who was guarding Xiangyang was killed by his troops. The troops opened the city and surrendered. The road from Yunmeng Prefecture to Zhongjing was opened. Now the news has spread throughout the city!"

Uncle Ning Yuan nodded, "I understand."

"Brother, what shall we do then?"

Uncle Ning Yuan waved his hand, "Third brother, I'll give this matter a lot to think about. Just go down and I'll let you know if anything happens."

His third brother looked at his elder brother and couldn't figure out what he was thinking. He stamped his feet and turned around to leave.

Uncle Ning Yuan slowly stood up and changed into clean clothes.

He walked around the house again, looked at his wife, his legitimate son, and his huge business, and then walked back to the study.

Sitting on the chair, he recalled Xia Jingyun's half-smiling look today, his heart trembled, he poured out a pill from his palm, glanced at the night outside the window with nostalgia, and put it into his mouth tremblingly.

Jiang'anhou Mansion is also immersed in peace tonight.

Guangling Prefecture was captured and Xiangyang City surrendered. Two events that happened one after another instantly reversed the initially worrying situation. Under such circumstances, no one thought that the current court would be a precarious and short-lived court.

Once people are at peace, everything can start moving forward step by step.

Xia Jingyun also completely let go of his worries and began to concentrate on planning the next thing.

It's a pity that Su Yuan is not here yet, so he lacks someone to help him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but start to think about the joy and joy of seeing each other under this situation after Mr. Su, Mr. Zhao, Bai Yunbian, Su Yuanshang and others returned to Beijing.

There are also Yanyan and Ali. Speaking of which, is the wedding date coming soon?
Just as he was thinking wildly, someone knocked on the door gently, and Rouge stepped in. She looked at Xia Jingyun with eyes full of admiration and love, "Young Master."

Xia Jingyun waved and asked Yanzhi to sit next to him.

Yanzhi pressed his hand and said, "Sir, let me finish my words first."

Xia Jingyun, who was inexplicably made anxious, retracted his hand in embarrassment, "What's wrong?"

"Just now, a message came from below saying that Uncle Ning Yuan committed suicide by taking medicine in his mansion."

Xia Jingyun blinked, "Uncle Ning Yuan, who is it? Why are you so confused?"

Rouge blushed slightly, with a hint of breathiness in her voice, "I don't know, we checked, but there was no action. And with his current ability, he can't do anything bad, and I don't know why."

"Then leave him alone. Just let the court handle it as usual."

Xia Jingyun said leisurely: "The only problems now are the affairs of Lu Rusong and Xiao Fengshan, as well as the rebellions all over the world. The overall situation will soon be stable."

Rouge's ears are red. Master, when you say these serious things, can you be more gentle with your hands? (End of chapter)
