The emperor's edict to confer Suning as King Ning of the Song Dynasty immediately shocked the whole country. Even Daliao, Xixia and Dali were stunned. You must know that this was the first time in the history of the Song Dynasty.
The first Wang with a different surname couldn't help but become curious about this magical traitor of the Song Dynasty.
Youyang, not long after Sheng Hong arrived in Youyang, heard the news that Suning was canonized as Prince Ning by the emperor. Naturally, the Sheng family in Youyang felt ecstatic. At this time, the matter of Boss Sheng giving away his daughter changed.
He became even more urgent, "Second brother, this is the great wealth of our Sheng family!"
"Yes! I was still worried about whether Prince Ning would succeed, but now all the worries in my heart have disappeared." At this time, Sheng Hong almost jumped up with surprise, so that the emperor's personal canonization was the same as the previous "grass"
"Touwang" is different.
"Second brother, then you should take Shulan to Jiangning Mansion as soon as possible! When Pinlan grows up, I will send him there too." After reacting, the master of the Sheng family urged Sheng Hong with a face full of surprise.
"Okay! Brother, you have to educate Pinlan well at home. They will all be the future concubines of Prince Ning!"
"Ah? Second brother, can't you be the main princess?" Although Prince Ning's side princess is already very impressive, the Sheng family's head family is a little greedy at this time.
"Eh? This may be a bit difficult, because our Sheng family is still too weak." Seeing how greedy the eldest brother in front of him was, Sheng Hong shook his head in confusion.
"Well, the second brother might as well stay for a few more days. I will prepare some gifts to congratulate Prince Ning on his canonization, so that His Highness Prince Ning will not think that our Sheng family is too rude." The eldest son of the Sheng family did not know this truth, and then considered
After a while, he stated his arrangement.
"Okay, then I'll stay one more day."
Bianjing, Tianlao, male prison.
In recent days, the food for Gu Yankai and others has become much better, so the sick Gu Tingyu has been feeling strange. Then he looked at the stunned Gu Yankai aside and asked, "Father, cough... you
Do you feel any recent changes?"
"Change? Huh! What kind of changes can you see if you stay in this dark prison all day long?" Gu Yankai looked at the eldest son in front of him in astonishment, and soon said with a depressed snort.
"Father, cough...haven't you noticed that our food has gotten a lot better recently? The prison boss also had a smile when he looked at us?" Gu Tingyu smiled bitterly when he saw that Gu Yankai was not aware of the recent changes.
He shook his head and asked.
"Uh? Ting Yu, what do you want to say?" The confused and irritable Gu Yankai looked at Gu Tingyu in front of him blankly and asked.
"Ahem...Father, if my prediction is not wrong, ahem...the second child Tingye may have successfully rebelled, or has been successfully recruited by the court." Then Gu Tingyu did not continue to be mysterious, but said it straightforwardly.
My own guess.
"Success? What can this evil obstacle achieve?" Hearing the name that made him so angry again, Gu Yankai still had difficulty keeping his calm, and then said with endless ridicule and curse speculation, "I think this evil obstacle should have been punished by the imperial court by now.
The army beheaded them in public display."
"Father, cough...if the second brother was really beheaded in public, cough...then we would have been executed together long ago. Expelling the second brother from the family tree will not appease the official family." At this time, Gu Tingyu was
He shook his head disapprovingly, feeling that his father beside him had been blinded by hatred.
"Ah? Could it be that the evildoer Gu Tingye was really recruited by the imperial court?" After receiving these reminders from his eldest son, Gu Yankai also belatedly noticed the recent anomaly.
"Ahem... Nine times out of ten! You must know that the Song Dynasty always likes to recruit people. A small rebel can become a small official, and a big rebel can become a high official. In fact, everything is possible."
"Hmph! So what if Gu Tingye was recruited by the imperial court? Our Ningyuan Marquis Mansion is completely finished. He got up by stepping on our corpses." At this time, Gu Yan suddenly thought of his Ningyuan Marquis title.
No more, he couldn't help but cursed loudly with anger in his heart.
"Hey! Cough...yes! Our Ningyuan Marquis Mansion is completely finished, and the best result will be to be demoted to the rank of common people." How could Gu Tingyu not know such a helpless reality? After all, the King of Heaven will not pardon them.
Family-oriented.
Tianlao, female prison.
Xiao Qin, who had been pretending all his life, was about to be exposed to the public. Naturally, he no longer had the need or mood to continue pretending. Instead, he sat there alone in a daze with despair, and there was no trace of the eldest lady of the Hou family.
Her posture and dignity are almost the same as those of a crazy woman on the street.
Xiao Qin, who has worked hard for so long, is still a little confused. She has worked hard in Ningyuan Hou Mansion for so long, and she clearly knows that Gu Yankai and Gu Tingyu are both in poor health. Maybe one day the father and son will die.
They died one after another, and then only the second child Gu Tingye was driven out of the Gu family, so the Marquis of Ningyuan became her biological son Gu Tingwei. However, all of this was disrupted by Suning's random punches.
"Wow! There are even meat dishes today! Sister-in-law is coming for dinner soon." At this moment, the surprised voice of the fourth daughter-in-law of the Gu family suddenly came, as if she had not eaten meat in eight hundred years.
"My fourth wife, can you have some potential? Have you never eaten meat in your eight lives?" At this time, Xiao Qin couldn't help looking at the surprised fourth wife in disgust and asked.
"Sister-in-law! We haven't had meat star for four or five months. It's rare to see so much meat." Although she heard the sarcasm in Xiao Qin's words, the fourth daughter-in-law said:
He retorted disapprovingly.
"Hmph! You don't have to worry about it being the last beheading meal. Think about it, Gu Tingye's evil obstacle should have been destroyed by this time."
"Ah? Beheading? I would rather be beheaded by the officials than stay here and suffer." Hearing that she might be beheaded next, the daughter-in-law of the fourth room of the Gu family didn't care anymore.
It feels much better than staying here where life would be worse than death.
"..."
Xiao Qin, who was already at the level of the founder of the green tea industry, quickly realized something was wrong. He had a strange suspicion in his heart, and then he crawled to the side of the prison and looked at the prisoners who were being divided.
The prison boss asked, "My lord? My lord?"
"What's wrong with Madam Gu?" The prison boss looked at Xiao Qin very politely, and didn't hit or scold her like usual.
Seeing the sudden change in the cell boss's attitude towards her, Xiao Qin's suspicions became more certain, and then she suppressed the surprise in her heart and asked, "Sir, is something big happening outside?"
"That's right! The officials have just issued an edict, conferring Suning the title of Prince Ning, a county prince, and the fiefdom of Jiangning Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River. Prince Ning is given the name Zhao Ning, and he is honored as the adopted son of the officials." Then the cell leader was filled with excitement.
He explained to Xiao Qin with a beaming face.
"Ah? Who is Suning?" Xiao Qin asked again with a look of astonishment on her face.
"The eldest lady of the Gu family, Suning is naturally Gu Tingye of your Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. Haven't your Gu family already kicked him out of the family tree? So naturally Prince Ning needs to change his name."
"What? Gu Tingye has been made a king? The land is still in Jiangning Mansion?" At this time, Xiao Qin felt ecstatic again, and his despairing state changed again.
At this time, the Gu family members who heard the conversation between the cell leader and Xiao Qin were all excited. You must know that there has never been a so-called king with a different surname in the Song Dynasty, and some of them were posthumous titles.
Naturally, they would not believe that the prison boss had the need to deceive them, and realized that they finally had a chance to escape from this prison.
"Master cell leader, will our Gu family be executed?" Then the daughters-in-law of the fourth and fifth bedrooms of the Gu family rushed to the cell leader in surprise and asked.
"Eh? I really don't know about this. After all, no one has mentioned this matter now." Suddenly hearing such a question made the prison chief a little confused. It was indeed far beyond his knowledge and understanding.
range of capabilities.
"Ah? How could this happen? Didn't King Gu...Ning ask the officials to release us?" At this time, the Gu family members also realized something, and they all looked at the prison guard with astonishment on their faces and asked
.
"I don't know! I am just a small cell leader, how can I know such detailed things."
"..."
...
Of course, Suning knew not to push the emperor and the princes of the Song Dynasty too hastily. After all, he was worried that they would jump over the wall in a hurry, so he boiled the frog in relatively mild warm water. If he really killed the Zhao and Song court in one fell swoop,
It was not in his own best interests, so he accepted the canonization offered by the old emperor.
However, although Suning accepted the canonization of the old emperor and became King Ning of the Song Dynasty, the Ningyuan Army still did not stop attacking Jiangnan. Instead, it continued to send troops to attack Jiangnan West Road and Fujian Road. If the captured officials wanted to leave,
Ning Yuan's army would happily send them back to Bianjing, so almost every city was handed over without any bloodshed, but the old emperor who was far away in Bianjing was so angry at Suning's behavior that he twisted his nose.
"Damn it! This King Ning has gone too far. He refused to come to Bianjing to receive the title, and he even attacked other places south of the Yangtze River." The old emperor angrily smashed his favorite tea cup, and then
He complained at the top of his lungs about Suning's domineering attitude.
"Your Majesty, it seems that Prince Ning is determined to occupy the entire Jiangnan area." Several ministers expressed their unanimous guesses. After all, Suning was no longer hiding at this time.
"Hey! Who is willing to go to Jiangning Mansion and rebuke King Ning to stop the march as soon as possible and to rule by crossing the river? It is absolutely impossible to allow it."
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go." At this time, Princess Shen stepped out of the queue and accepted.
"Okay! Mr. Shen has always been the wise fox of Song Dynasty for me. I believe he will be able to deal with the greedy Prince Ning." Looking at Mr. Shen, who was always known as the old fox, the old emperor nodded with satisfaction and agreed.
"Your Majesty, I will fulfill my mission."
Seeing that Grand Prime Minister Shen actually took the initiative to accept the trip to Jiangning Mansion, Grand Prime Minister Han and Grand Prime Minister Fu looked at each other meaningfully, and each had a strange thought in their hearts, guessing that Shen DaXiangong
The old fox, the Grand Xianggong, is attracted to Suning and is planning to go to Jiangning Mansion to personally inspect King Xinning.
After everyone walked out of the emperor's hall, Mr. Han and Mr. Fu walked to a place where no one was around and whispered, "Ms. Fu, now that Prince Ning has been canonized, should we consider the candidate for Princess Ning next?"
Already?"
"Hmph! Mr. Han, can't you see that Old Fox Shen can't wait any longer?" Mr. Fu had already noticed Mr. Shen's little thoughts, otherwise he would never have taken the initiative to go to Jiangning Mansion.
"Well, I heard that his family also has an eldest daughter-in-law, but she seems to be only thirteen years old this year. It would be too early to discuss marriage now." At this time, Mr. Han also guessed the little idea of Mr. Shen, but he
Then he shook his head at the wealthy husband with a puzzled look on his face.
"Ahem! Isn't Prince Ning only fifteen this year?" At this time, the wealthy prime minister smiled disapprovingly. As long as the grand prime minister Shen is willing, anything will be no problem.
"No! We have to quickly remind the officials to make plans in advance." After reacting, Mr. Han immediately wanted to go back and remind the old emperor.
"Mr. Han, please be patient! I'm afraid the officials and the eldest lady are already considering it." At this time, the wealthy Xianggong quickly grabbed the impatient Mr. Han, and then guessed that the old emperor and Empress Cao would definitely not
Ignore this issue.
"oh?"
In the harem, Queen Cao saw that the emperor was frowning every day during this period. Naturally, she knew everything about the previous dynasty. Then she looked at the old emperor with a smile and admonished, "Guan family, since the matter of Prince Ning has been
Now that it's solved, you should be able to breathe a sigh of relief."
"Hey! Prince Ning is such an obstacle! I asked him to come to Bianjing to receive the title, but he actually said that he was suffering from the cold and could not come to attend the ceremony. He just asked me to just watch the arrangements." At this time, the old emperor felt particularly suffocated.
Qu He was depressed, and finally tasted the helplessness that Gu Yan opened.
"Your Majesty, Prince Ning has just joined me in the Song Dynasty, so naturally he is still on guard."
"Hmph! It's not just a precaution! It's completely daring! After being granted the title of Prince Ning, he still attacked the land south of the Yangtze River. Not only did he control the entire Jiangnan East Road and Liangzhe Road, but also most of the Fujian Road and Jiangnan West Road.
Fall."
"Ah? Ning Yuan's army attacked so fast?" After hearing the old emperor's explanation in such detail and urgency, Queen Cao couldn't help but widen her eyes in shock.
"Huh! It's because these loyal ministers and righteous men of mine surrendered too quickly. They were just doing a handover."
"Guan family, what should we do?"
"Don't worry! Grand Prime Minister Shen has already set off for Jiangning Mansion to rebuke King Ning for stopping the army."
"Oh? Your Majesty, I remember that Mr. Shen has a thirteen-year-old granddaughter, right?"
"Auntie, what do you mean?"
"Your Majesty, I feel that Old Fox Shen is so proactive this time that he must have some other hidden agenda. He must have set his sights on Princess Ning's position."
"this......"
"Your Majesty, why don't we choose a daughter from the clan to marry Prince Ning as soon as possible. Naturally, Mr. Shen gave up this idea."
"My eldest wife, the most suitable age person in the clan is the head of Jiacheng County of the Yong Wang family. He was just shot down by the navy of Ningyuan Army. How can he accept this marriage?"
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten Princess Fukang? She is as old as Prince Ning."
"Huirou?"
"Your Majesty, I know that you have always loved this eldest princess, but we have no time to think about it. Once Prince Ning gets married to an important official or a noble family, it will be a fatal crisis for our Song Dynasty court. You must know that the British
The public family also has an only daughter of similar age."
"But... I have already recognized Prince Ning as my adopted son, and also gave him the surname Zhao. This is just to explain the matter of the king with a different surname. It is not appropriate to marry Princess Huirou to him."
"Your Majesty, this is not a big deal. I know that the officials are afraid of King Ning and his Ningyuan Army, but after a while, just transfer the Ningyuan Army to the frontier to fight with the barbarians of Liao. Then it will definitely happen.
The snipe and the clam fight over each other and the fishermen profit."
"Okay! I will issue a decree to marry you immediately."
