"Are you going on a mission to a foreign country?" Shao Dian Luan handed Ding Kui a piece of silk.
Ding Kui unfolded it and saw that there was a baby embroidered on the silk cloth. He was sitting with open arms and laughed. "It's not bad. Did Xiaoyan embroider it?" He asked deliberately. Among his wives and concubines, the embroiderer of the dragon-yan zodiac was the best.
"Really?" Shaodian Luan raised an eyebrow at the banquet, "You haven't answered me yet."
"It is definitely necessary to go on an envoy, but there is no need to be too hasty. I know what you mean," Ding Kui folded the silk cloth and stuffed it into his arms, "Please spend more time with the child, I will."
"How about bringing the child to Nanjing City? That way I don't have to run around, I can accompany Yuanyuan every day, and I don't have to worry about the two sisters."
Ding Kui thought about it seriously and said: "Forget it, Juyang City is the place where they were born. Growing up there will let them know where their roots are. The Ding family has only had its own territory since he started, and he will not dare to do so in the future.
It shouldn’t be a problem to say that it will create brilliance for eternity and spread for hundreds of generations.”
"If Yuanyuan ascends the throne, will you still guard that territory?" Shao Dianluan did not look down on Nanqiu County of Juyang City, but he was more accustomed to life in the palace and believed that noble blood should come from the deep palace compound.
"Why not?" Ding Kui gently hugged his wife, "Juyang City has everything, how can it be worse than anywhere else? Can you see the railway in the palace? Can you see how to grow crops, how to fish and hunt?
Your ancestor, Xiong Wang Shaodianzhu, came from a tribe under the Hengduan Mountains and became the founding emperor of the country through the ages. Water and soil that can breed vitality are the only criteria for a home."
Shao Dianluan kissed her husband and said, "The place with you and me is home."
"Yes!" Ding Kui kissed his wife affectionately.
…
In July, two divisions of the National Guard Army entered Yangyuan Prefecture one after another. Dou Xiaoqi led a special battle group to march all the way to Jianyang City. On that day, Shaodianrun publicly announced his resignation as the shepherd of Yangyuan Prefecture and was succeeded by his son Shaodian Xie.
Ri Shao Dianrun appeared in Nanjing City and took office as the new Taiwei.
Shaodianshi was furious when he heard the news. He ordered the commander-in-chief to send troops to arrest Shaodian Run and his son, and asked the clan government to elect the shepherd of Xinyang Yuanzhou.
In Shuanglong City, Hu Qin, the commander of the Fourteenth Army Corps, appeared in the city lord's mansion.
"Sir, what do you mean by the National Guard Army? They are stationed outside Jianyang City. Are they threatening Lord Zhoumu?" Hu Qin came to test Long Yuan's intentions.
"Hu Qin, you are not from the Long family, and I can't ask you for anything, but I want to advise you as a senior. You should not get involved in the court affairs. It is your duty to protect Yang Yuanzhou from foreign enemies.
." Long Yuan solemnly stated his position.
Hu Qin hesitated for a while, then took out a sheepskin and said: "Well, to be honest with you, sir, a secret order came from the commander-in-chief's office, asking the 14th Army Corps to take control of Jianyang City and wait for the new Yang Yuanzhou Mu to take over."
Long Yuan glanced at Yangpi, and then looked directly into Hu Qin's eyes: "I didn't see any secret order. The commander of the military command department can be named Ding or something else, but he must not be named Shaodian. You can't take orders randomly. This is the simplest reason.
The way to general."
There was a faint murderous intent in his eyes, which caused Hu Qin to goosebumps.
I saw Hu Qin clenching his fists and rubbing the sheepskin vigorously, and the skin crumbs fell on the table. "You are right! I came to pay homage to the seniors, and I didn't receive the secret order at all. There is something unusual about Cao's warships, and the Fourteenth Army should go to the coast to set up defenses."
, please help my troops build temporary military camps." After he said these words, the murderous intention in Long Yuan's eyes immediately disappeared.
Long Yuan was a real domination knight. At the same time, Hu Qin also remembered that there were many sixth-level combatants around Ding Kui. Yangyuan Prefecture was not Nanma Prefecture, and troops with sixth-level combatants could not be offended.
The 14th Army Corps is not afraid of the National Defense Army, but who can guarantee that the 8th and 21st Army Corps will not advance into Yangyuanzhou? In comparison, the threat from Nanjing City is more direct and urgent than that of Zhenjing City, and Hu Qin would rather offend him
When I was young, I didn't want to offend Ding Kui.
In fact, Shaodian Run helped Ding Kui before he went to Nanjing City. He summoned all the county guards who might disobey the small court to the state city. Once the special forces arrived, they were immediately imprisoned and jailed, and another close associate was sent to take over the duties of the county guards.
He has governed Yangyuan Prefecture for decades, and has been king for four generations, including Shaodianfeng and Shaodiancong. He dare not say that he has managed Yangyuan Prefecture like an iron barrel, but his reputation is enough to suppress the opposition in the state.
.
On the contrary, there were more than a dozen city lords who objected to recognizing Shaodian Xie as the shepherd of Xinzhou, but they became prisoners of the National Guard Army a few days later, and none of them escaped the trap.
At the beginning of August, the 12th Army Corps stationed in Yangyuan Prefecture and completed the handover with the 19th Army Corps. Yangyuan Prefecture transitioned to the rule of Nanjing City relatively smoothly.
"I have to tell you something. Shanyuan Zhoumu and Hexi Zhoumu will not stand on your side because of my relationship." Shaodian Run moved into the new Taiwei Mansion and was entertaining the visiting Ding Kui to watch singing and dancing.
"Ah? Why?" Ding Kui looked frustrated.
"Of course it's because I became the Taiwei and Xie'er took over as the prefectural shepherd. All the good things happened to my family, and they had no luck in joining them." Shaodian Run looked matter-of-fact.
"This joke is not funny." Ding Kui turned into a bitter face.
"I'm not kidding you, the one they like most is the Taiwei. Can you find other positions of real power as a prince?"
"Then what should I do? Wait for them to come and beat me or should I go and beat them?"
"Fight, fight, fight, you know how to fight. What's the difference between doing this and rebelling against the king?"
There is another person in Nanjing who dares to reprimand Ding Kui unceremoniously.
Ding Kui started to pinch his chin. What the new Taiwei said was reasonable. Conflicts among the people should be resolved through violence as much as possible. "How about you go and lobby them?" He stared at Shaodian Run.
"No, what if they kill me? Then they can replace me naturally. They can definitely do it. No, no, no, I'm not going anywhere."
"You are the Taiwei. What authority does the clan government have that you can play with?" Ding Kui did not understand the high-level authority of the clan government, although he was once the Taiwei's arm and commander.
"You don't have much to use here, so re-electing the Five Orders is somewhat attractive."
The clan government also has five departments under its jurisdiction, and the ministers of the five departments are also called Zongling. The Taiwei can recommend the selection of Zongling to the king. After discussion by the clan elders meeting, the king will finally issue an edict for confirmation.
"Yes, it will be re-established sooner or later, but will this offend the five original orders?" Ding Kui actually did not dare to agree easily.
The five major orders are equivalent to the five commanders-in-chief of the General Command and the five ministers of the Government Affairs Council, and have considerable influence in the country.
"They will listen to Shaodian anyway. No matter how nice you are to them, they won't support you." Shaodian said it didn't matter.
Anyway, he can't control the existing orders, so he might as well change them and enjoy himself.
"Don't deceive me. Two sect commanders from the Wei Cha Department and the Clan Registration Department have sent people to find us and expressed their willingness to support Feng Di's return to the throne at the right time."
The rumors spread by Shao Dianjian had an effect. People in the royal family who sympathized with Shao Dianfeng responded. Those who thought they were qualified to contact Shao Dianluan were the Wei Chabu and the Clan Registration Department. They each sent representatives to Nanjing City. In Shao Dianluan,
Accompanied by Dian Cheng, he met Shao Dian Luan.
"Didn't you tell me earlier?" Shaodian glanced at Ding Kui, "You don't have to change them all. Let's do it one by one. First choose the one who is the most stubborn supporter of Shaodian."
"Okay! Let's take action from the Ceremony Department. They are the ones who slandered the natural disaster eclipse and brother Feng. It's best to clean them all out."
"Shaodian Jin, behind him is a powerful elder."
Shaodian Jin, the Zongling of the Ministry of Rites, was the longest-serving Zongling.
"How many clan elders do you have?" Ding Kui didn't know much about the royal family.
"Ten. Under special circumstances, there will be one or two more or one or two less. Now it is exactly ten." Shaodian Run will have the opportunity to compete for the position of elder in a few years.
The elders of the royal family are the ten most powerful and senior people in the clan. Once they are determined to enjoy lifelong qualifications, a new elder will be replaced only after the death of one elder. If there is no time to replace the elders, there will be a shortage situation, and the replacement candidates will be of equal strength.
Many situations.
"What use are your elders? Can they be compared to the top ten elders of the Senate?" Ding Kui wanted to know how powerful the powerful elders are.
"You know, Lord Protector of the Royal Family."
Ding Kui nodded.
"If the ten elders jointly sign, the guardian lord can be replaced."
"Hiss." Ding Kui took a breath of air.
He knew how powerful the Guardian Lord was. He was a genuine epic knight, but he couldn't think of anyone who could replace him.
Shaodian Run continued to explain: "If the guardian lord makes all the elders dissatisfied, the elders can jointly write a letter to the Grand Alliance, asking an ancestor to return, and then the ancestors will decide whether to replace the guardian lord."
"Oh! Can the elders contact the major alliance?" Ding Kui understood.
"Isn't there a royal family enshrined in it? If you are enshrined, you can contact me."
Ding Kui secretly cursed himself for being a fool for forgetting such an important person as Gui Jing.
Xi is responsible for supervising and protecting the venerable. The ten elders jointly stated that the royal family was in great difficulty, and he needed to inform the martial god of the Shaodian clan.
Martial gods usually don't care about worldly affairs, but the survival of the family cannot be ignored. This involves whether the clan will continue to give birth to Martial Gods in the future. Will it weaken the Shaodian family's right to speak in the big alliance? Even if it affects their cultivation, they have to go home and see.
"However, it is difficult for the elders to unify their opinions. There has never been a joint signature of the ten elders since ancient times. At least there is no record in the clan's classics."
Hearing this, Ding Kui breathed a sigh of relief. The elder he offended was unable to invite the God of War back, so he could offend a few more.
Even Shao Dianyong did not offend all the elders, let alone Shao Diangluan and Ding Kui. There are many people in the royal family, but the interest relationship is too complicated, and it is difficult to unify the opinions of the whole family. From another perspective, the royal family is not as good as
Some big clans in the country.
"What good will it do to me to change the order of the Ministry of Ceremonies?" Ding Kui was more concerned about this point.
Shaodian Run's expression rarely became serious. He clapped his hands and called for the song and dance performance to be withdrawn. He stared at Ding Kui for a long time and then said: "A new order from the Ministry of Ceremonies to Nanjing will make you more respectable."
Poof, Ding Kui's saliva almost sprayed Shaodian Run's face.
"What kind of benefit is this?"
