When Emperor Jingwen was reigned, the King of Yan also put in a lot of effort and sweat to fight for the throne. He always believed that he was the prince that the former emperor valued the most, and would definitely be able to inherit the throne and become the new emperor of the Yun Dynasty in the future.

Later, Emperor Hongxuan was ordered to ascend the throne in danger. King Yan was discouraged and felt that he had no chance to go to the throne. After being awakened by his aide, Mr. Wu, he saw through Emperor Jingwen's emperor's mentality. So King Yan rekindled his fighting spirit to assist Emperor Zuo Hongxuan, helped Emperor Hongxuan handle the government and shared the pressure for him, just to hope that one day, he could see the hope of inheriting the throne again.

However, during the period of assisting Emperor Zuo Hongxuan, King Yan discovered that Emperor Hongxuan's performance was extremely outstanding. Not only stabilized the situation in the court, but also removed many remnants of the wise king party inserted into the court. The thundering methods were quite like Emperor Jingwen's style.

With the efforts of Emperor Hongxuan, the Yun Kingdom became increasingly powerful, and the people praised Emperor Hongxuan, a young little emperor, and scholars from all over the country recognized Emperor Hongxuan.

So, the King of Yan doubted himself.

The King of Yan often wondered, if he was the emperor, would he be as outstanding as Emperor Hongxuan? Will he be even better than Emperor Hongxuan?

If you really have the hope of inheriting the throne in the future but can't do better than Emperor Hongxuan, wouldn't it become a joke for scholars from all over the Yun Kingdom after dinner?

So under this mood, the King of Yan continued to reflect and compare, and finally he discovered a very cruel reality.

In terms of governing the government, he is actually not as good as a teenager!

Seeing the unprecedented unity of civil and military officials in the court, and working hard to make the Yun Kingdom the most powerful country in the human race, the desire of the King of Yan to inherit the throne was constantly eroded.

Finally, the King of Yan thought that as long as the Yun Kingdom could be prosperous, it would not seem to matter if he didn't become the emperor.

After all, no matter who becomes the emperor, it is the blood of his own brothers.

"The Fourth Brother is right. It is precisely because of you, the Emperor, that our Yun Kingdom has such a prosperous day. You are the emperor of our Yun Dynasty. If you lead us, we will definitely make our Yun Kingdom the most powerful country in the human race. When the time comes, the Gentiles will come to the court and the world will return to our hearts, which will be a blessing for the people of our Yun Kingdom." said the Xiawang.

King Ji also said to Emperor Hongxuan: "When the late emperor was in power, you often served the late emperor and had already obtained the true teachings of the late emperor. If you hadn't stabilized the court, I'm afraid that our Yun Kingdom would not know what the wise king party would be like. I also think that you are the best candidate for the monarch."

"I beg the emperor to continue to sit on the dragon throne. I will devote myself to assisting Zuo Wuhuang's young master, and I dare not violate it." King Chong said.

Emperor Hongxuan's face changed and he said seriously: "But the late emperor left an imperial edict to let me pass the throne on behalf of the late emperor, and I have to obey."

"We know that you are not a person who is greedy for the throne. If you keep holding the imperial edict of the late emperor or privately destroy the imperial edict of the late emperor, you can sit firmly on the throne and rest assured. But you did not do that, but told me honestly that such a sage, virtuous and wise king, minister, etc., that you are willing to follow your lord to die to repay the favor of your emperor for your understanding."

The King of Yan suddenly knelt down at Emperor Hongxuan and bowed, "I beg my emperor to sit on the dragon throne. I will definitely help my left and die."

"Help the left with all his strength, and he will never refuse!"

"Help the left with all his strength, and he will never refuse!"

The other three kings also knelt down one after another, begging Emperor Hongxuan to continue to serve as the emperor, and said that they would do their best to assist the left and would never dare to have a second thought.

Emperor Hongxuan felt very relieved when he saw his brothers support him so much, which shows that his efforts were recognized by everyone and did not disappoint the trust of the late emperor.

"But fourth brother, I really..."

"Fourth brother, if you really think we are your brothers, don't refuse."

King Yan resolutely refused to accept Emperor Hongxuan's abdication and said aloud: "Long live my emperor!"

"Long live my emperor!"

Everyone followed and shouted.

"This...well!"

Emperor Hongxuan said, "Since the fourth brother is unwilling to accept Zen, I cannot force myself to be respected. Brothers, please get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The three of them smiled and stood up again.

Brothers, look at me, look at you, and then burst into laughter together.

The grievances that once occurred in order to fight for the throne have disappeared. Now everyone has only one common mind, that is, to develop the Yun Kingdom wholeheartedly and make the Yun Kingdom the most powerful country in the entire human race.

As long as the country is strong enough, it will not be bullied by any foreign enemy.

After laughing, Emperor Hongxuan said: "King of Jin Du Ning forced the Luosha tribe and the demon tribe to sign a ten-year war-free agreement with our Yun Kingdom. Our Yun Kingdom no longer has any worries. We all want brothers to work together to strengthen our Yunchao national strength. No, it is to strengthen the strength of our entire human race."

"We obey the order."

…………

After Du Ning settled the border affairs and returned the power to Di Zonghu, he returned to the capital of Yunguo.

After returning to Beijing, Emperor Hongxuan could not help but hold a grand ceremony to celebrate Du Ning's merit.

Du Ning has won ten years of peace for the Yun Kingdom and has made outstanding contributions.

At the banquet, all civil and military officials hoped that Du Ning could stay in the court to assist Zuo Youzhu and make every effort to develop the national strength of Yunguo.

Moreover, Du Ning is a great talent in the human race. With his talent, he can be better than one person in the court and above tens of millions of people.

Even the kings had to give Du Ning some slight face. In the future, he had a high position and a strong power, and was in power, so it was naturally no problem.

Of course, the power here refers to Du Ning serving the country, deeply loved by the people, and was granted extremely high power.

It's not just arbitrary act, excluding dissidents, etc., Du Ningke will never be able to do such stupid things.

"Thank you all the princes and the adults for their kindness, Du is very grateful."

Du Ning said to everyone: "For ten years, our Yun Kingdom has no followers. Next, Du plans to return to the Holy Academy to lay the foundation for the future great scholarship, so he can only resign from many positions in the court and cannot work with all his colleagues. I will punish myself for three cups."

After saying that, he drank three glasses of wine in succession and apologized to the kings and ministers.

When everyone heard Du Ning's words, they were silent.

Although they really hope that Du Ning can stay in the court and work with everyone, Du Ning is a genius and his future achievements are limitless.

After all, the court is just a small place. Even if it is less than one person, it seems worthless compared to the holy way.

Du Ning is the Wenjun of the human race. He is not only working for the Yun Kingdom, but also selling his blood to the entire human race. There are many important things waiting for Du Ning to do.

Keeping Du Ning in the court will not only limit Du Ning's vision, but also limit his growth.

Du Ning has the resources to be enthroned by the saints, and in the future, he is very likely to become the new saint of the Yun Kingdom and a pillar of the human race to support the sky!

"I beg the emperor to beg me to ask me to return to the Holy Academy to study." Du Ning said to Emperor Hongxuan again.

"Mr. Du is ambitious and caring for the people. How can I be inaccurate?"

Emperor Hongxuan was reluctant to leave, but he never dared to delay Du Ning's future in pursuit of the holy path, so he had to agree: "Then let Mr. Du report to dismiss Du Jun's position in the court and retain his title."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Du Ning said gratefully.

"This time, Du Jun has made great contributions to our Yun Kingdom. After discussion with the kings and ministers, I have appointed Du Jun as Duke Zhenguo to demonstrate Du Jun's achievements."

"I thank my emperor for his great kindness."

Du Ning accepted the title of Emperor Hongxuan, and since then he had another title of "Duke Zhenguo".

The kings and ministers congratulated each other and celebrated Du Ning.

…………

Living in the capital for a few days, Du Ning returned to the Holy Academy to study.

In the following time, Du Ning went to the Holy Academy to attend the lectures of the great scholars every day and devoted himself to his studies.

There are constant invitations in the mansion every day, which are social visits from major families in Confucius City. In order to get along with Du Ning, they all want to invite Du Ning to a restaurant for dinner.

Du Ning wrote a letter and sent someone to refuse one by one, but did not attend any banquet invitation.

After all, this kind of human relationship is very complicated, either you don’t go there. Once you go to one of them, you have to go to other people’s banquets, otherwise you will be deemed to be a real person. Du Ning is now the supreme emperor of Wenjun and only attends aristocratic banquets that he respects, but ignores the ones he despises.

Even if Du Ning didn't have this intention, others would inevitably say some nasty gossip, and it would be bad if they were spreading around in Kongcheng.

In addition to the invitations for dinner, Du Ning also received many invitations from literary conferences, hoping that Du Ning would attend the small literary conferences organized by some aristocratic families, or invite Du Ning to serve as the host of the literary conference.

Literary meetings are an important place for scholars to communicate and discuss.

Almost every scholar's growth is inseparable from the literary gathering activities.

Because at the literary club, you can compete with various scholars to increase your experiences, and exercise your talents and comprehensive abilities.

Therefore, Du Ning did not reject all literary associations, but selected relatively important and meaningful literary associations to participate.

Studying also requires a combination of work and rest. Studying on weekdays is already difficult, so naturally you have to participate in some activities to relax yourself appropriately.

In addition to studying and participating in literary gatherings in daily life, Du Ning would buy literary newspapers from various countries in the Holy Academy every day to learn about strange stories and strange things in various countries.

In particular, information about the Demon Clan and the Rakshasa tribe appears in newspapers and magazines almost every day.

After the human race showed the power of the mysterious cannon, the demon clan and the Rakshasa clan became much more honest and did not dare to easily attack the human race's territory.

Then, the demon clan and the Rakshasa clan fought more than ten battles, with each other winning or losing. However, judging from the contents of the literature, it is obvious that the demon clan has taken more advantage.

The overall strength of the demon clan is already stronger than that of the Rakshasa clan, and the Rakshasa clan is too extreme for complacency and conceit, looking down on the human race and the demon clan, believing that the human race and the demon clan are both defeated by the Rakshasa clan. As a result, every defeat of the Rakshasa clan makes the Rakshasa clan extremely humiliated.

Now the Rakshasa tribe has reluctantly admitted that it cannot defeat the human army. I thought I could get some advantage from the demon clan, but it still lost to the demon clan several times. I have to say that the Rakshasa tribe is indeed a bit pitiful and ridiculous.

The fourth day of August.

Seven Islands Sea Kingdom.

Thousands of warships appeared in the endless seas, majestic and aggressive, approaching the islands of the Qidao Sea Kingdom at an extremely fast speed.

The flags fluttered on the warship, with the words "Lingwu Continent" written on it.

That's right, it's a warrior from the Lingwu Continent.

"Master Wu Zun, the Qidaohai Kingdom is not far ahead."
