There is no record of sons of elements in the history of the Ding family. The probability of such a proud son appearing is too low, but Ding Kui happened to meet a few.
Human beings have not solved the mystery of blood inheritance. Not only the Ding family but also the royal family have no way to solve it. Ding Kui hopes that his child can become a son of the elements, but unfortunately there are not many opportunities for him to study it.
"How is it possible! Your meridians are naturally open? I don't dare to activate the fighting energy, for fear that too much anger will affect the fetus. You are not one yourself! When you help me regulate the meridians, you deliberately avoid the child's meridians."
Shao Dianluan was very cautious and strictly followed Granny Liang's instructions. Granny Liang was the one who delivered the baby when Tantai Yue gave birth to her.
"Haha, with the blood of the Ding family, I don't dare to mess around. If anything happens, the ancestors of the Ding family will rush out of the Eternal Temple and kill me." Ding Kui smiled awkwardly.
"Isn't he also of Shaodian's bloodline?" Shaodian Luan patted his belly gently, "If Brother Feng has both good and bad qualities, his surname must be Shaodian."
"No matter what his surname is, he is our child." Ding Kui hugged his wife.
…
The rebels have increased their troops!
During the New Year period, all battlefields in the country temporarily ceased operations. As soon as mid-January arrived, the warships of the Thousand Island Alliance first launched an offensive from the Xijiang River, and then a large number of new troops stormed the southern defense line of Wangzhou.
The newly emerged troops were under the banner of Linhai Prefecture Local Army and were no longer part of the regular army.
"Is anyone from the Xuanyuan family still in the capital?" Shaodian asked in the palace.
Gongsunda, as a representative of the Senate, went out to respond: "Prince Hui, the nobles of the Xuanyuan family and Linhai Prefecture have all left Zhenjing."
"Why didn't you stop them?" After finishing Shaodian's words, he immediately realized that he had made a mistake, "That's all, the Senate can declare that all the indigenous nobles are rebels!"
Gongsunda glanced at Shaodian Huang beside him.
The Taiwei took a step forward and said: "Your Highness, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. Your Majesty's biological mother comes from the Nangong family, and the Nangong family also belongs to the nobility you mentioned. They cannot be labeled as rebels."
The term "indigenous noble" can only be spoken in private and is not suitable for use in the court. The young Dian dared to violate the taboo, but the young Dian Huang would not dare.
"Your Highness," Zibi came out, "the Linhai Prefecture local army may not be those private armies. Even if they are the imperial court, they can only pretend not to know."
"Why?" Shaodian was irritated.
This feeling is very uncomfortable. He pretends not to know when someone knocks on his door. The legendary knight can't stand it. According to his habit, he will kill him with a sword.
Zipi explained: "We can learn from Nanzhou Prefecture. The Kong family sent troops to protect the country and called it the Kong family army. If the Xuanyuan family openly opposed the court, they would also call their troops Xuanyuan Army. The Tantai family would call their troops the Tantai Army. The Nangong family's
It's Nangong Jun, and so on.
Since they are called the Linhai Prefecture Local Army, they do not want to openly break up with the imperial court. The imperial court and the nobles you mentioned have room for maneuver. If you label them as rebels, you are forcing them to rebel openly. From now on, it will be life and death when we meet each other."
"Isn't it right now? The local army in Linhai Prefecture is killing the soldiers and civilians of the imperial court, and you want me to give them a way to survive?" Shaodianshi's political wisdom was not enough to accept the appearance of amicable killings secretly.
"Your Highness," Shaodian Zhang also stood up, "those families are based in Linhai Prefecture, and Linhai Prefecture has become the base camp of the rebels. It is very likely that they will be coerced by the rebel king or Yang thieves and have to send troops to join the rebellion.
Army ranks."
"Why do you all speak for those traitors?" Shaodian was furious, "They've all come knocking on your door! Do you need me to give them a promotion?"
Shaodianhuang shook his head and silently retreated to his seat.
Shao Dianzhang looked around and stepped back.
In the center of the hall, only Gongsunda and Zibi could not retreat. Gongsunda did not dare to accept this order, and Zibi could not watch the regent make a mistake.
"Your Highness, I am not talking to the rebels. Now the kingdom is facing difficulties. We should not be too tough when dealing with some things. Everything should be based on the interests of the kingdom. Sometimes we have to tolerate lawless people and illegal things." Zipi urged the young man.
It's time to change your mind.
"If the Nangong family is labeled as a rebel, the king will lose face, and Nangong will find it difficult to deal with herself. It will be difficult for me to explain to the elders when I go back." Gongsunda refused to take the blame.
It would be difficult for this decree to be passed by the Senate unless the Young Master requested a meeting of nobles and obtained more than 50% of the votes to force it forward.
"Then exclude the Nangong family and declare the other families as rebels!"
After hearing what Shaodian said, Gongsunda returned to his seat with satisfaction.
In this way, the Senate can accept that there is a big difference between full characterization and partial characterization. If the Nangong family is excluded, there will be articles to do. There will also be quarrels within the Senate, but the main content will not be to refuse to pass the decree of the Prince Regent.
"Your Highness, please think twice!" Zibi also wanted to persuade.
"Okay! That's it for today. I'm going to see Concubine Nangong. Please come with me, Duke Zi." Shaodianshi ended the court meeting.
He had his own ideas but wanted to give Zipi face. Asking Zipi to see the concubine showed that he was willing to continue to listen to Zipi's opinions.
Zipi and the ministers exited the meeting hall, greeted his colleagues, and then stood alone outside the hall.
After a while, a guard came over and said: "Your Majesty, the Prince suddenly has other matters. He will not go to see Concubine Nangong today. I have asked the Duke to go back to the palace first. If the Duke has something to do, he can come to the palace to see you another day.
Your Highness the Prince."
Zipi nodded with a straight face, turned around and walked out of the palace.
He sighed in his heart: "Hey! Power will change a person. Father is right, Shaodian's country is in danger."
When Shaodian was unwilling to accept Zi Pi's advice, he expressed it euphemistically in this way. It seemed that he still relied on Zi Pi, but he was no longer as obedient as before.
The matter of declaring several nobles to be rebellious cannot be done by the State Council, but can only be done by the Senate. The Senate has never easily obeyed the will of the king or the regent. This time they have to correct the wrong decision of the court.
Announcement from the Senate: All the nobles in Linhai Prefecture who send troops to attack King Zhuang Prefecture are treasonous and will be deprived of their noble titles from now on, except for those who are under coercion, such as the Nangong family of the king's mother family. The Senate will deal with it as appropriate.
This announcement reshaped the Prince Regent's decree. The first half completely complied with Shaodianshi's intention, but the second half left a backdoor. In fact, it was said that it was not said. All the nobles who sent troops could prove that they were being persecuted. How?
You can discuss it with the Senate.
Of course, there was no need to talk about it on the battlefield. Although the newly added troops had no combat experience, they still had many people. The Ninth and Tenth Corps, which were also full of new recruits, felt overwhelmed and frequently sent messages to the commander-in-chief for help.
"What do you think we should do? The rebels on the northern front have increased their troops by 500,000, and Yangfeng's troops cannot move. How can there be any troops to support the southern front?" Shao Dianhuang convened the commander-in-chief in the capital for discussion.
