Chapter 371
Because the empress was infertile, the news that she wanted to give the Zen seat to King Kangyu spread across the country like wings.

The election of the chairman of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, which was supposed to be held in Ningcheng, was also interrupted because of this sudden change.

For the people in the four prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, they did not feel much of the grace brought by them. Coupled with the prophecy of the previous typhoon disaster, they faintly saw the success.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and the weather in the south of the Yangtze River in June became hotter and hotter, but it couldn't hold back the enthusiasm of the crowds who came from all directions and wanted to watch the Empress' Zen seat.

Some time ago, there were several rainstorms in a row. Today is a rare and auspicious day with clear skies, even the sky is beautiful.

The city gate of Ningcheng has been closed, the people inside the city are crowding shoulder to shoulder, and outside the city are also people from nearby states and counties.If it wasn't for the sudden news of the Zen seat and the time constraints, more people would come to watch.

Jiang Nian did not expect that there would be so many people who came to watch the ceremony. Two days ago, there was no place to stand one or two miles outside Ningcheng, and a large number of people gathered outside the city early to occupy a place.In order not to disturb the people, the army could only be stationed on the outskirts, but he brought dozens of Forbidden Army masters, dressed like ordinary people, to mix among the crowd, waiting for the opportunity to move.

Everything has been arranged on the city tower, and the corona on the city wall indicates that the time has come.

The sound of rites and music sounded, and "Ning Yuezhao", dressed in a crown and imperial attire, climbed up the tower surrounded by maids and stood at the highest point.

King Kangyu put on the vassal costume, slowly climbed up the tower, and stood respectfully at the head of the empress.

The pearls and jade hanging from the crown covered most of the Empress's face, and the people downstairs couldn't see the Empress's true face even if they stretched their necks.

Accompanied by the sound of ritual music, the etiquette officer began to recite the lengthy etiquette.

The empress began to worship heaven and earth, ancestors, and routinely prayed for the common people.

Immediately afterwards, the ceremonial officer raised his voice and read the imperial decree instead, "Following the heavens, the emperor Zhao said, since I succeeded to the throne, I have been working hard at night and working hard in the government, lest there will be differences in the country and the instability of the society. Shangshi Ancestral Temple However, I have been married to the emperor for several years and have no heirs. After several examinations at the Taiyuan Hospital, I am ill and have no hope of descendants. I am really ashamed of the ancestors of the Ning family. There is no face in the foundation for thousands of years. This time, I have subdued myself to the south, and found out that King Ningxu of Kangyu was loyal, filial, benevolent, and ruled the vassal well. Emperor Chan Rang is located in Ningxu, King of Kangyu, with a country that stretches over mountains and rivers, this is my honor!"

After reading the imperial decree, Ning Xu came out, knelt down solemnly, kowtowed his head three times, and refused to accept it, "Your Majesty's absurd praise, my humble minister is terrified! My humble minister is dull and can only keep his own. How can he bear the great responsibility of the world? I hope His Majesty will take it back!"

"Why should the uncle be modest!" The empress took a step forward and went to help Ning Xu herself, "I have no hope of having any heirs in this life. Among the royal family, except for the uncle, who can take on this important task, don't refuse."

Ning Xu knelt down and refused to get up, "Please take back your order and choose another virtuous person!"

Seeing that their "virtuous king" refused to accept the decree, the people under the city tower couldn't help talking, and some even started to shout, hoping that King Kangyu would obey God's will.

The Empress reached out to support Ning Xu again, but before her hand could touch Ning Xu's arm, a cold male voice came from the bottom of the tower—"Bold King Kang Yu, make people pretend to be His Majesty, rebellious, self-directed and self-acted. The farce of the position, I really think that there is no one in Daxing, so I can steal the country!"

Ning Xu was taken aback, he originally wanted to decline three times to create a modest image of himself, but someone jumped out to disrupt the situation!But at this juncture, he couldn't destroy the virtuous image he directed, so he could only show his confidant Li Cang with his eyes.

Li Cang walked towards the city wall quickly, and saw a man in a bamboo green robe in the crowd performing light kung fu, easily jumped up the tower and stood on the wall.

Under the morning light, the man's exquisitely handsome face seemed to be shining, and his robe was flying in the breeze, with an indescribably elegant and noble appearance.

Ning Xu didn't recognize Jiang Nian, but Li Cang immediately recognized this man as the man who injured himself with a firearm outside the magistrate's office that day, and immediately said angrily: "What a merchant who doesn't know the so-called, the matter of the Tian family It’s something you can say! Someone, take down this lunatic!”

After finishing speaking, Li Cang drew out his saber, and his personal soldiers immediately surrounded him.

At this time, dozens of figures jumped up from the tower. Although they were dressed in the clothes of ordinary people, they all had stern faces and restrained looks.

These dozens of imperial guards surrounded Jiang Nian, forming a posture of guards.

Zuo Ming took the lead and scolded in a cold voice, "Bold, Your Royal Highness is here, who dares to make mistakes!"

Ning Xu naturally knew that Li Cang was injured by Jiang Nian with a firearm a few days ago, and now he also knows that Jiang Nian is the imperial husband Jiang Nian, but since he made a fake empress to make it real, he can also treat the real imperial husband. Make him fake.

"Bastard, Your Majesty is here. Who doesn't know that the imperial husband was seriously injured during the Northern Expedition, and is now recuperating in the palace. You dare to pretend to be the imperial husband. You know that this is a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the entire family!"

After finishing speaking, Ning Xu immediately raised his hand and ordered his soldiers to take action.

But at this moment, Jiang Nian drew out the soft sword at his waist, and pointed it at Ning Xu, "Since you call yourself the Ning family, you should recognize this."

Phoenix Shadow Sword, the sword of the emperors of Daxing.

Everyone in Daxing knows that the founding ancestor and her imperial husband are a pair of legendary imperial couples, and the pair of soft swords of Dragon Yin and Phoenix Shadow are passed down from them.

But in the Ning family's direct branch, the existence of King Kangyu who violated the ancestral system was simply looked down upon, so it was impossible for Ning Yuezhao to call King Kangyu the uncle of the emperor, just like at that time in the imperial capital, she never called Ning Zi Like cousin Yi.

Jiang Nian's words just stepped on the pain in King Kangyu's heart.

At this time, the people in the city were boiling.

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness, and she is indeed of peerless grace, but why did His Majesty not respond?"

"Is this His Majesty really a fake?"

"It's just a soft sword, who knows if it's real."

Facing all kinds of voices, Jiang Nian looked as usual, he raised his left hand, and in it was the imperial husband's seal.

He looked at the fake empress expressionlessly, "You say she is Your Majesty, so what can she have to prove her identity?"

There is neither the Dragon Chanting Sword nor the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.

Ning Xu took a step forward, his face so gloomy that he couldn't get any more serious, "Your Majesty is His Majesty, why do you need to prove it! It's you who pretended to be the emperor's husband with these fake things. Come, I will punish this traitor on the spot!"

His advantage is that there are many soldiers and horses. As long as today's ceremony goes smoothly, it will be justified!

But who is Jiang Nian, how could he fight unprepared.

The imperial guards who had just guarded in front of Jiang Nian took out their guns and aimed at Li Cang and his guards.

The wound on Li Cang's right shoulder hadn't healed yet, and his face turned pale with lingering fear at this moment.

The guards behind him had either seen or heard of the power of the blunderbuss, and they were apprehensive for a while.

With one single step, Jiang Nian plundered the false empress with a light kung fu. As long as the human skin mask was removed, King Kangyu's conspiracy could be exposed.

Seeing that everyone was hesitant to move forward, Ning Xu drew out the sword at his waist, swept his body, and faced Jiang Nian.

As a feudal lord, Ning Xu's martial arts are not bad, and the two of them have mastered dozens of moves in a short while.

However, after all, King Kangyu has lived a life of pampering and pampering for many years, and he is not confused in his age, so he cannot compare with young people in terms of flexibility.

Soon, Ning Xu was at a disadvantage. Jiang Nian saw his weakness, and the soft sword pierced through Ning Xu's right shoulder blade from a very tricky angle.

"Father!"

"My lord!"

Ning Ziyi and Li Cang exclaimed at the same time.

Jiang Nian poured his inner strength into the sword, and pressed it down slightly, only to hear a crisp sound.

"Ah!" Ning Xu screamed, the sword in his hand fell to the ground, and his shoulder blades were shattered by Jiang Nian.

Jiang Nian drew out the blade of his sword and brought out a string of blood beads. King Kangyu caught it backwards unsteadily, and Ning Ziyi who ran from behind happened to catch him.

Ning Ziyi looked at Jiang Nian with red eyes, "Take him down!"

At this time, those soldiers could no longer be indifferent, but the imperial guards brought by Jiang Nian were not vegetarian, and the people on both sides immediately fought together.

Jiang Nian ignored the chaos behind him, but walked towards the empress with cold eyes.

The maids and etiquette officers around the empress had already collapsed to the ground, but the empress remained motionless, looking at Jiang Nian with a smile in her eyes.

This calm and composed appearance really resembles Ning Yuezhao.

Jiang Nian clenched the hilt of his sword and stood in front of the false empress. He reached out to remove her human skin mask without hesitation, but who knew that when he reached behind the old ear, he didn't touch the human skin mask.

The empress held down Jiang Nian's hand that was stuck in her ear, and smiled slightly, "Jiang Nian, it's me, you finally came to save me!"

The familiar crisp voice came into my ears, and Jiang Nian was so startled that he even forgot to withdraw the hand she was holding, "Azhao..."

The smile on the Empress's face deepened, her right hand slowly raised, as if she was about to put it on Jiang Nian's shoulder, but no one saw the cold light flashing from the bottom of her sleeve, and she stabbed straight at Jiang Nian's chest...
