What happened in the court hall today was immediately spread throughout the entire Bianjing city. All the dignitaries and people in Bianjing started discussing excitedly. They couldn't help but think of Wu Zetian, the only empress of China. Everyone was excited.
Expressing their own opinions, this matter soon reached the highest point of public opinion.
Sheng Hong hurried back to the Sheng Mansion as soon as he went to court, and then went straight to the Shou'an Hall of the Sheng family to look for the old lady, "Mom, something big has happened."
"Hong'er, what's wrong?" Old Mrs. Sheng looked at this cheap son who got married with a surprised look on her face.
"Mother, King Ning defeated the Khitans and went to Linhuang Mansion in Beijing, captured the Khitan royal family and all their ministers, and prepared to hold a ceremony to dedicate the captives to the Ancestral Temple in Bianjing." Then Sheng Hong first told some exciting news.
"Oh? This is a great thing! Prince Ning will never be afraid of anything from now on." Because the Sheng family and Prince Ning's mansion were deeply involved, Mrs. Sheng was naturally pleasantly surprised.
"Mother, Prince Ning still made a request to the officials. When the officials present the captives to the Ancestral Temple, Princess Huirou and Prince Ning's eldest son Zhao Ren should be asked to follow them."
"What?" Old Mrs. Sheng immediately stood up in horror. The problem that had persisted for many years was finally solved.
"Mother, do you think the officials and the princes will agree?" Sheng Hong asked with a bitter look on his face as he looked at the old lady who stood up in shock.
"Hong'er, you should consider whether the officials and the senior ministers have the ability to refuse." At this time, the old lady thought that the old emperor and the senior ministers no longer had the ability to refuse.
"Ah? Mother is saying that our Song Dynasty is really going to have a queen?" Hearing his mother say this, Sheng Hong felt a little silly at this time.
"Hong'er, the only heir of the official family has died. Both King Yong and King Yan need to be adopted. In terms of blood relationship, they are really not as good as Princess Huirou." After understanding Suning's true intention, Mr. Sheng
The wife could not help but admire her and realized that this was an upright conspiracy.
"This...but Princess Huirou is a member of the female class!" Although he knew that Mrs. Sheng's analysis was very reasonable, Sheng Hong still couldn't accept Her Majesty the Queen.
"The problem is! Standing behind a female like Princess Huirou are Prince Ning and Ning Yuanjun, and Prince Ning's crown prince Zhao Ren is the next heir to the throne. Our Prince Ning has already calculated everything!" This confusion
Ever since Suning chose to rebel, the old lady had been troubled and puzzled. Today, she finally solved everything.
"Mother, can Prince Ning really succeed?"
"Hong'er, only if Princess Huirou becomes the queen and Prince Ning's crown prince Zhao Ren becomes the next generation heir to the throne, can the conflict between the Song Dynasty court and Ning Yuan's army be truly resolved. This is the way for Prince Ning and Ning Yuan's army to be upright.
The officials and the princes can only accept it helplessly." Old Mrs. Sheng is still a little doubtful. If it were not for the marriage of Princess Huirou, the Zhao and Song royal family might really be wiped out.
.
At this time, Xuexue Zhuang, who was studying privately in the Sheng family, naturally heard about this explosive news. After being stunned, he looked at the students in front of him with a smile and asked, "I believe everyone has heard about it. A person was discovered in the court today.
In a major event, King Ning led Ning Yuan's army to attack Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing and captured the Khitan royal family and all Khitan officials."
"Zhuang Xuexue, this move by Prince Ning is an unprecedented victory. It is not inferior to that of Huo Qubing, the hussar general of the year." At this time, Liang Liulang immediately started to praise without concealment, once again surprising his mother.
All the original arrangements for marrying the daughter of the Sheng family have become more enthusiastic.
"Well, this is indeed an undoubted matter. Today we will discuss the matter of King Ning wanting Princess Huirou to be the crown prince." Zhuang Xuexue was not interested in whether Suning could compare to Huo Qubing, but instead asked this question.
It’s an issue that everyone wants to avoid nowadays.
"Ah..." Everyone immediately looked at each other in astonishment. They had been avoiding this forbidden issue, but they didn't expect that Zhuang Xue in front of them would directly raise it.
"Zhuang Xuexue, do you think Princess Huirou is suitable to be the queen?" At this time, Qi's young master Qi Yuanruo quickly stood up and saluted, looked at Zhuang Xuexue and asked.
"It's hard to say! You have to know that from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to the present, only one Empress Wu Zetian has appeared, and Wu Zetian has done very good things."
"Zhuang Xuexuu, do you prefer Princess Huirou to be the queen?" At this time, Qi Yuanruo heard the meaning behind Zhuang Xuexuu's words, and couldn't help but look at Zhuang Xuexuu in surprise and asked.
"Haha, this is not a question of whether I am inclined or not, but the power behind Princess Huirou is too strong." At this time, Zhuang Xuexue said the key to the problem with a smile.
"Yes! Now King Ning and Ning Yuan's army have controlled all the areas south of the Yangtze River and the Liao border. Their strength has long surpassed our Song Dynasty court."
"That's right! Whether the world wants to admit it or not, Ning Yuan's army has become a sharp sword hanging over the head of the Song Dynasty court. If you accept King Ning's request, then all problems will naturally be solved, and from a blood perspective, Hui
Princess Rou does indeed have the right to inherit the throne."
"..."
…
Xixia, Xingqing, a small northwest country that has just been founded for 18 years this year, suffered a great disaster today. The martial arts masters from Prince Ning's Mansion directly attacked the Xixia Yipintang. No one in the Yipintang was left alive and they were quickly wiped out.
After all, among the martial arts figures collected by the Xixia royal family, Wu Yazi and Murong Longcheng were the top masters in this time and space.
"Murong, now that I have completed the task assigned by Prince Ning, I will lead everyone from the Xiaoyao Sect back to the Piaomiao Peak of Tianshan Mountain. Please take me to say goodbye to Prince Ning." Looking at the Xixia Yipin Hall with corpses everywhere, he searched for all the items in the Yipin Hall.
Martial arts skills and wealth, Wu Yazi then looked at Murong and his son who were also satisfied and said with a smile.
"That's fine! Then Quanzi and I will always guard Prince Ning." Murong Longcheng smiled nonchalantly, and then decided to stay dormant under Suning's command, but he didn't know that Suning had known about it for a long time.
The ambition of their Murong family.
"Murong, I heard that you have collected a lot of world martial arts in Yanziwu, Suzhou?"
"Eh? Exactly."
"Murong, I feel that Prince Ning is also very interested in martial arts. If you, the Murong family, are prepared to remain loyal to Prince Ning, you might as well dedicate all the martial arts you have collected to Prince Ning."
"Well, thank you Wu Yazi for reminding me! Our Murong family will seriously consider it." Murong Longcheng couldn't help showing a surprised expression at first, and then he managed to deal with it casually with a forced smile.
"Murong, if we say goodbye today, we will meet again at Prince Ning's Mansion tomorrow. We should have wine and talk again."
"Wu Yazi, we are waiting for you at Prince Ning's Mansion."
Suning, who was far away in Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing, Khitan, naturally heard the good news immediately, but he was not prepared to personally destroy the Xixia Kingdom entrenched in the northwest. He was ready to let the bloodless Song Army soldiers go to complete this task. In fact, Suning was quite
I hope to awaken their little bloody spirit. It is also very disgusting to see their weak moral character every day.
"Han Chong, Song Chun."
"The end will be here."
"I'll leave the affairs of the north to you. We must eliminate all the forces on the grassland steadily."
"Yes! Master."
Then Suning led one hundred thousand cavalry to escort the Khitan royal family and courtiers prisoners, and also left the mechanized thermal weapons troops behind. Then one hundred thousand troops passed through Nanjing's Xijin Prefecture in a mighty manner, and returned south to the capital of the Song Dynasty.
In Bianjing, the old emperor and the great ministers had already walked ten miles out of Bianjing to greet them. It can be seen how exciting this victory of Suning and Ningyuan's army was.
"Your Majesty, I have fulfilled my mission, defeated the Khitan in Linhuang Mansion in Beijing, and captured the Khitan royal family and all the Khitan rebels." At this time, Suning did not show any rebelliousness. Instead, he dismounted his horse humbly and knelt down on one knee.
The old emperor said.
"Prince Ning's hard work has paid off! Next, I will personally lead the horse for Prince Ning." The old emperor was naturally surprised by Suning's attitude at this time, and offered to lead the horse and whip for Suning.
"No! Your Majesty is the lord of the world, how can you lead a horse for me?"
"Your Majesty, what King Ning said makes sense! Then let me lead the horse for King Ning on behalf of Your Majesty." At this time, Grand Prime Minister Shen who was standing beside him hurriedly licked his face and ran over and said.
"Well, then there is Grand Master Laoshen."
Then Mr. Shen personally led Suning's horse on behalf of the official family, and then the army slowly moved forward again. Suning looked proudly at the old fox Shen who was holding the horse for him and said, "Mr. Shen, now you can bring He Zhen
Did you marry into Prince Ning’s palace?”
"Ah? Your Majesty, don't you know? He Zhen has been sent to Prince Ning's Mansion, and Princess Huirou has personally arranged a residence for He Zhen." At this time, Grand Prime Minister Shen looked at him pretending to be surprised.
Suning, that expression showed his cunningness to the fullest.
"Hmph! You are indeed an old fox."
Suning was naturally infuriated by Mr. Shen's saucy maneuvers. He must have seen that he was unstoppable on the front line, so he secretly sent Shen Hezhen to Prince Ning's Mansion. You must know that Suning had mentioned this many times before, but he was always dismissed.
Old Fox Shen was put off.
"Hey, thank you Prince Ning for the compliment."
"Xiangong Shen, do the officials and all the prime ministers agree with the conditions I proposed?" Suning had no choice but to feel that Xianggong Shen was not ashamed, so he changed the subject and asked the most important thing again.
"Eh? This..."
"What? The officials and ministers refused?"
"That's not true! The official family mainly wants to negotiate with you personally, Prince Ning."
"Well, that's fine! After you return to the city, go and call all the princes and queens, and I will introduce my ideas to you in detail."
"Ning Wang Shengming."
"snort!"
…
Suning led the cavalry of the Ningyuan Army to escort the Khitan royal prisoners through the streets, which naturally caused a sensation in the entire Bianjing city. You must know that the people in Bianjing like to watch the excitement the most, and it is also the big event that they have been looking forward to for more than a hundred years.
They all put down what they were doing and ran over to watch and celebrate.
Looking at the majestic King Ning riding on the horse in front of him, and looking at the large group of prisoners behind him with their heads bowed, someone shouted excitedly, "A thousand years old, King Ning! A thousand years old, King Ning!"
Immediately afterwards, the people watching around Bianjing City all excitedly shouted together, "Ning Wang is a thousand years old..."
Listening to the roaring and tsunami-like shouts at this time, all the dignitaries of the Song Dynasty turned pale, realizing that King Ning and Ning Yuanjun had become the mainstay of the Song Dynasty, while Gu Yankai and the Xiao Qin family were hiding.
Looking at the arrogant Suning in the crowd, my heart is full of mixed feelings. These should have been the glory of their Gu family, but now they can only hide in the corner and tremble like mice.
.
"Guardian, our Erlang is becoming more and more successful. When Princess Huirou succeeds in taking the throne, Erlang and Princess Huirou's legitimate son will be the heir to the throne." At this time, the little Qin family on the side was full of jealousy.
He said to Gu Yankai in a tone of voice.
"Huh! What a wishful thinking! The officials and princes will never agree." Gu Yankai was still unwilling to admit the excellence of his second son.
"Officials, everyone in the world knows that Ningyuan's army is too powerful, far surpassing Daliao, which was just destroyed, so all of this will be possible."
"Well……"
"Official, for the sake of the future of our Gu family, will you bow your head to Erlang again?" Xiao Qin looked at the stubborn coffin man next to her and persuaded in a low voice.
"..."
At this time, Suning came to the Funing Hall in the palace as soon as possible, and Queen Cao and all the top nobles and other officials of the Song Dynasty came. Today's meeting also determines the future of the entire Zhao and Song Dynasties, so everyone here
Everyone looked very solemn, and the old emperor became more energetic as if he were reflecting on his past, "Prince Ning, please tell me your conditions!"
"Your Majesty, the empress, all the princes and princes, Princess Huirou is the heir with the purest royal bloodline, and those so-called royal family members are not qualified to inherit at all. As long as the officials and the princes agree to inherit,
Princess Huirou succeeded to the throne and appointed Zhao Ren as the next generation heir to the throne. I am willing to invite the empress to take charge of the jade seal. I only need to be responsible for the military of the entire Song Dynasty. In the future, our Song Dynasty court can also be truly
Separation of military and political affairs.”
"What?" Although he had already known the conditions of Suning and Ning Yuan's army, he was shocked again when he heard such a detailed introduction. Queen Cao on the side couldn't help but become excited and excited.
"Prince Ning, I'm already old. I really can't interfere with so many things. It's better to ask someone else to take charge of the jade seal." Although I was so surprised that I wanted to hug Suning and give her a kiss, the queen was still there.
He said with a helpless expression.
"Madam, you are Princess Huirou's biological mother. Princess Huirou will naturally be respectful and courteous to you. Only you are the most suitable person to control the royal seal. It is definitely a hundred times better than some people to encourage the official family to adopt the clan's son. Wait until this
The adopted clan son has secured the throne, and his first thought is to pursue his biological father, which will naturally put both the officials and the queen into an embarrassing situation." Suning naturally knew how greedy this old lady, Queen Cao, was.
The power will naturally not be fooled by the appearance and refusal of this old woman at this time.
"This..." At this time, the old emperor and the empress were confused. What Suning said was their biggest concern.
"Prince Ning, since you are so sincere, why not just hand over the military power." At this time, everyone sitting here naturally noticed the intention of the old emperor and the queen, and then sighed secretly and began to bargain.
"Ha! Mr. Ying, do you think these noble generals from the Song Dynasty can control the Ningyuan Army? I think even Mr. Ying doesn't have the strength yourself, right?" At this time, Suning looked at Ying with disdain.
Gong, he mercilessly tore off the fig leaf of the noble generals of the Song Dynasty.
"You..." The British Duke is not the Grand Master Shen who has a face like a city wall. Naturally, he cannot bear Suning's cynicism at this time.
"Everyone, I still hope that everyone can wake up. I, Suning, don't want to go on a killing spree in the Central Plains, so I will retreat step by step. I believe you also believe that I have the strength to take the last step." Suning was too lazy to say anything to the angry people.
The British public paid attention, then looked at everyone sitting meaningfully and said.
"Prince Ning, if I agree to your request and appoint Princess Huirou and Zhao Ren as the heirs to the throne, will you continue to treat me, the Song Dynasty royal family, favorably?" At this time, the old emperor was already accustomed to Suning's unruly behavior.
Realizing the reality, he looked at Suning and asked.
"This is natural! In order to show the sincerity of the Ningyuan Army and I, we will immediately order the Jiangning Mansion to release Zhao Yingce and Shen Congxing who assassinated me."
"What? Zhao Yingce and Shen Congxing?" After hearing Suning's "sincerity" at this time, everyone present was shocked and confused.
"Yes! Your Majesty, half a year ago Zhao Yingce and Shen Congxing from Yuzhou came to my Jiangning Mansion with a group of experts, and then carried out a very clumsy assassination operation on me. After they were caught by the Jinyi Guards, they have been in Jiangning Mansion.
He is being held in a prison." Seeing the doubts and astonishment of the people in front of him, Suning Yan briefly and comprehensively explained the circumstances of the assassination.
"What a bastard! How dare you assassinate the King of the Song Dynasty in the street? I think this Zhao Zongquan doesn't want to live anymore." At this time, the old emperor immediately slapped his throne angrily, feeling that Zhao Zongquan, who had been driven to Yuzhou to eat dirt, had overstepped his bounds.
"Your Majesty, so Ning Yuanjun and I are very sincere, and I really hope you can think about it carefully." Suning looked at the angry old emperor with a smile on his face.
"Okay! I agree to all your requests, Prince Ning, so I'd better let Huirou bring her family to Bianjing as soon as possible. It just so happens that Prince Ning's Mansion in Bianjing has been built."
