The sixth day of the sixth lunar month in the first year of the lunar calendar.
Battle of Zhuxian City.
The imperial court's great victory made the capital and Zhou dynasty cheer.
In addition, the empress implemented the imperial examination system for women, and for a time, the support for the empress to govern the world continued to grow.
In the palace.
Empress Zhou Yan was extremely excited when she received the news.
She clenched her fists tightly and stared outside the hall, her phoenix eyes slightly red.
The empress really didn't expect that Lu Ning could pacify the world alone, and even a million cavalry besieged King Yongshan.
She didn't expect that Lu Ning had been secretly planning. Perhaps the power of King Yongshan made her lose her bearings and confused her mind.
But in this battle, she knew that she was completely conquered by Lu Ning.
He immediately spoke, Feng Ming Jiutian:
"According to my decree, Marshal Lu Ning, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, is made the number one god of war in the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
This is the first happy event.
The second happy event came from Qiu Shan Academy.
Concubine Qi gave birth to a prince.
When this news came out, except the empress who was happy, everyone in the city was both happy and unhappy.
I am happy that Concubine Qi gave birth to a prince. It must be a great joy and worthy of joy.
But unfortunately, Concubine Qi gave birth to a prince, and she would have to compete with the empress for the throne. Sooner or later, there would be another dispute in the world.
"That's great. On the same day as the victory in the Battle of Zhuxian City, my decree was passed on and the son of Concubine Qi, my younger brother, was crowned Prince Yongning of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
In the palace, the sound of the phoenix sounded again.
This is the second happy event.
However, the third thing was one that shocked Beijing, Zhou and even the whole world.
It was the eighth day of September next year that Lu Ning was going to have a battle with the most powerful man in the world, the Taichu Sword Sect Yi Sword Immortal.
Hearing this, Empress Zhou Yan was stunned on the dragon chair, and the 500 million people in the city were also extremely shocked.
A swordsman, a super powerful person in the world.
In the eyes of ordinary people, he is a god.
The number one god of war in the Great Zhou Dynasty wants to challenge the most powerful person in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
There are only three months in a year.
God of War, can he win?
…
June 8th.
Experience: 625.5 million points.
Lu Ning returned to Beijing and Zhou with 1.2 million cavalry, Luo Yuena, Star Wolf Prince Wan Qifeng, Prince Huo Tuo, Mo Heng, Qing Huoyang and others.
As for the 500,000 cavalrymen from the five countries in the Western Regions, they are all stationed in Zhuxian City.
Lu Ning asked people to escort King Anshan, King Beimang, Duke Zhenguo, Mu Yan and other generals, as well as five people from the five countries in the Western Regions, and headed towards the palace amid cheers throughout the city.
In the crowd, Ruan Shuting held her daughter in her arms and saw Lu Ning sitting on a tall black horse, leading King Beimang and others, escorting King Anshan. He was so majestic, and she felt happy for Lu Ning.
"Uncle, be mighty!"
"uncle……!"
The little girl in Ruan Shuting's arms clenched her fists and shouted.
Lu Ning naturally heard it and glanced towards them. He felt relieved when he saw Kong Rong following them and Lan Yunhui not far away guarding them.
"Sister-in-law, you are so powerful!"
Soon, the little girl saw Lu Qing, and she clenched her little fists and shouted.
Lu Qing shook his fist at the little girl: "Niuniu is also mighty."
"Kick-kick...!"
The little girl laughed excitedly in Ruan Shuting's arms.
Royal Palace.
Dazhou Gate.
The empress and the Chinese civil servants greeted her.
Seeing Lu Ning coming first, the empress' phoenix eyes were full of tenderness.
For nearly a month since King Yongshan rebelled and raised his army, many generals in the imperial court were killed and blood flowed like rivers. It was the heroic young man in front of him who put an end to all this.
It can be said to be an unparalleled achievement.
On the golden stage, Sword Lord Li Qingbai poured a sip of wine into his mouth: "This boy, I made a mistake. I should have accepted him as my disciple last time."
On the Tianxing Tower, Supervisor Xu Feng put his hands behind his back and murmured: "He who establishes the heart for heaven and earth and the destiny of all people is heaven."
"At such a young age, you have the power to turn things around!"
"It's really rare."
Tai Chi Hall.
The empress gave seats to the civil and military ministers, and she was not partial in this regard.
After taking over Qin Zhong's Qin Mansion, the national treasury was extremely full.
Therefore, the empress rewarded all the generals one by one on the spot.
Such as Beimang King, Zhen Guogong, Mao Junchen, Chen Kai, Teng Zijing, Chen Hu, Zuo Hongchen, Gu Wushuang and others.
"Marshal Lu Ning was granted the title of the First God of War in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Marquis of Shenwu, and was given a golden plaque to lead the world's soldiers and horses..."
"Choose Pei Tianbei as the Black Tiger Cavalry Commander, the Heroic Marquis, and give him a golden plaque..."
"Feng Muyan as the general of the Silver Armored Army, and reward him with ten thousand taels of gold."
At the court, the empress mainly conferred the titles of Lu Ning, Pei Tianbei and Mu Yan.
For example, King Beimang, Duke Zhen and others did not hold official positions, but they all received generous rewards.
After receiving the rewards one by one, he began to interrogate King Anshan in front of the civil and military officials.
King Anshan knelt in the main hall, crying and complaining to the empress, saying that he was threatened by King Yongshan and could not afford to rebel with him. After King Yongshan succeeded, he would behead him.
The civil and military ministers did not believe this kind of rhetoric. After all, King Anshan had always coveted the throne and secretly used many tricks.
The empress didn't believe it either, and immediately said coldly: "Imprison Anshan King in the clan's mansion, and he will never come out."
"yes!"
Su Liuqi quickly rushed into the hall with the imperial army and dragged King Anshan away.
"Your Majesty, eldest niece, you can't do this, I am your uncle of the Nine Emperors...!"
King Anshan struggled in the hands of the imperial guards, but to no avail, and was forcibly dragged away.
Later, the empress showed kindness and power to generals such as Chang Wei, Bao Zhan, Hong Dajiang, Wei Guangding, Le Yue, Peng Ying, etc. Everyone fell to their knees on the ground, saying that they were completely out of their control, and vowed to loyal to the Zhou Dynasty to the death.
So far.
The war to quell the chaos is completely over.
evening.
The empress held a banquet for the monarchs and ministers in the Taiji Hall, and personally poured wine for Lu Ning, Pei Tianbei, and Mu Yan, which was extremely glorious.
The palace banquet ended until the curfew.
Zhang Juming and other civil servants were also slightly drunk, while Pei Tianbei was very drunk and was carried back.
Only a few relatively calm people such as Lu Ning, Mu Yan, and King Beimang were still awake.
"Your Majesty, let me take you back to the palace." Lu Ning stood up and bowed.
The empress nodded, and with Bai Wei's support, she returned to Yongle Palace.
Lu Ning followed.
In Yongle Hall.
Empress Zhou Yan asked the palace maids to serve hangover tea to Lu Ning, and then dismissed all the palace maids, leaving only Bai Wei.
"Chang'an, it's so hard for you to hide this from me!"
The empress glanced at Lu Ning slightly angrily.
Lu Ning smiled and said: "Your Majesty, do you believe that all this is God's will and not arranged by humble ministers?"
The empress' phoenix eyes flashed slightly, she seemed to understand Lu Ning's thoughts a little bit, and she didn't want others to tell her that she was magical.
"It doesn't matter whether it is yes or no. What is important is that you went on the expedition in person on my behalf, using your divine power to fight against eleven second-grade experts alone, and put down the rebellion of King Yongshan."
"The Great Zhou Dynasty will definitely remember your contribution, and history will also remember you, the First God of War in the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Lu Ning shook his head and smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Gu has a broken arm. According to Lin Jian of the Ziyang Sect, he has thoughts of escaping from the world."
"Before leaving, he entrusted the Demon Suppressing Division to Wei Chen. This Demon Suppressing Division, Wei Chen still has to go back!"
The corner of the empress' lips raised slightly: "I have named you the commander-in-chief of the Great Three Army, Marquis of Shenwu. This does not affect your ability to take charge of the Demon Suppression Division."
Lu Ning nodded and said: "Although the war to quell the chaos is over, I suggest that General Mu Yan take 300,000 silver-armored troops and 300,000 black dragon riders to Yongzhou to guard the monster tribe in southern Xinjiang."
"Yongzhou must be guarded by a general."
"As for the Black Tiger Cavalry, Golden Sword Guard, and Flying Dragon Cavalry, the remaining Black Dragon Cavalry and Silver Armor Army will be sent to the other eight states to guard against sudden changes."
"As for Beimang Iron Buddha Tu, King Beimang brought it back to Beimang and continued to guard the northern barbarians."
The empress nodded and said: "The east side needs to deal with the sudden change of the Sea people. Who do you think is best to send?"
Lu Ning frowned and said, "Isn't there a Zhendong Marquis? I remembered that he was Emperor Xingwu's consort and asked him to take Peng Ying and others there."
The empress said: "The Marquis of Zhendong is a bit old and not suitable for you."
Lu Ning smiled and said, "Then his son."
"Let me think about it."
The empress nodded, then remembered something and said: "King Yongshan is dead, and his son Zhou Qin is also dead. Now his second son Zhou Xiao is still in the prison, so he should die as well."
Lu Ning said: "If you want to avoid further trouble, you will be executed. If you want to show that the empress is kind and a wise master, you can spare Zhou Xiao's life. After all, he did not really participate in the rebellion."
"But he can continue to live in Prince Yongshan's Mansion in Jingzhou City and change the palace to Prince Chaos' Mansion so that he can always remember that his father is the king of rebels."
"If he has any evil intentions in the future, it will not be too late to execute him."
"But at this point, killing them all will inevitably cause people to talk privately, saying that the empress is cruel and vicious, and she will eradicate all members of her royal family."
The empress frowned slightly, nodded and said: "Forget it, just let him live."
Lu Ning frowned and said, "I heard that Concubine Qi in Qiu Shan gave birth to a prince, and your majesty canonized him as Prince Yongning?"
The empress smiled and nodded: "This matter, the matter of settling the chaos with you, is a double joy. I am very excited. I want your name, Lu Ning, to bring peace to the world, so I canonize him as the Crown Prince Yongning."
Lu Ning raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said helplessly: "Wei Chen wants to say, what does Your Majesty think of this matter? Do you really plan to pass the throne to Prince Yongning, your imperial brother, in the future?"
Hearing this, the empress stared at Lu Ning and pondered for a long time, then said: "Chang'an, Bai Wei is here. I am not afraid to tell you that I don't want to sit on this throne at all."
"If it weren't for the fact that I didn't want to watch King Yongshan take away my father's throne and dominate the world, I would never have fought for any edict that night."
"Whenever I have an imperial brother, I will help him sit on the throne of God. Then I will return to Baiyun Taoist Temple and continue to cultivate immortality. By the way, I will travel around the mountains and rivers of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Aren't I happy?"
Lu Ning nodded secretly: "Wei Chen understands, but this day is still far away, so how does Your Majesty plan to arrange for Prince Yongning?"
The empress said: "I plan to hold a full moon banquet for Prince Yongning in the palace, so before the end of the month, I have to take the trouble of you to take people to Qiu Shan Academy to welcome Concubine Qi and Prince Yongning back to the palace."
"When Yongning becomes enlightened, I will personally ask Dean Su of Confucius Academy to accept him as a disciple."
Hearing this, Lu Ning frowned. If Su Zhengzheng knew about it, he would definitely be extremely happy.
After all, if you accept a future emperor as your disciple, you will become the emperor's master, and your status will become extremely respected in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But the two masters of chess and painting from Qiu Shan Academy were afraid that they would be confused.
Before leaving Yongle Palace, Lu Ning took out the artifacts of the Great Zhou Dynasty and Taizu's Divine Spear from the jade belt and gave them to the empress.
The Empress said with a smile in her phoenix eyes: "I heard that the night before yesterday, you were very majestic. Wearing the imperial flag and holding the artifact of the Great Zhou, you shot one person with one shot and shocked millions of people you killed!"
"In the end, Feng Chuyi had to step forward to stop you, but you still defeated him."
Lu Ning chuckled, maybe people regarded the golden gourd as his treasure, but in fact he could not control the golden gourd.
However, the golden gourd is really powerful.
Think of golden gourd.
Lu Ning's eyes flashed slightly, and then he thought of the sealed evil dragon under the Xuanlong Mountains.
To improve his cultivation a little more, he planned to go to the Xuanlong Mountains.
If you let the evil dragon be admitted into the Book of Heaven's Punishment, you will definitely gain more experience for yourself.
Lu Ning is very inexperienced now, and he needs all the skills needed to improve his cultivation level, perfect his magical powers, and practice skills.
However, only prestige and lifespan cannot be increased with experience, and he has to work hard on his own.
Speaking of prestige.
Only then did Lu Ning understand that this prestige value was, to put it bluntly, personal charm. The night before yesterday, he killed eleven second-level powerhouses and quelled the rebellion of Yongshan King, winning the support of millions of people.
Prestige reaches 70 points directly.
Its function is what it says and does, which has 70% of its charm and prestige. It is worthy of people's belief, trust, willingness to obey all its arrangements, and even awe of it.
As for other effects, Lu Ning has not discovered them yet.
The life span column currently shows 18 years old (299). Lu Ning used his experience to add points to the "Spirit Turtle Health Tips" and found that (299) will not change at all.
In other words, if he uses his experience to perfect the "Ling Turtle Health Preservation Technique", he can only live to be 299 years old.
If he wants to exceed this age, he can only obtain other immortality techniques or immortality techniques.
Dazhou Gate.
Lu Qing was waiting for Lu Ning to go home together.
"Second brother, what are you talking about with His Majesty? Have you been talking for so long?"
"Nothing to talk about."
Lu Ning smiled, got into the carriage, chatted and laughed with her sister, and returned to the Lu Mansion together.
to your doorstep.
Seeing the bright lights, Lu Ning raised his head and stared at the plaque on the door. It had been replaced by a golden plaque, which read: Shenwu Marquis Mansion.
Enter the main hall.
On the main wall, there is a golden plaque: The first god of war in the Great Zhou Dynasty!
The eldest brother Lu Xiu and his sister-in-law Ruan Shuting had not rested yet. They were both sitting in the main hall, waiting for Lu Ning and Lu Qing.
Looking at Lu Ning, Lu Xiu and his wife really didn't know what to say, and they only felt endless emotion in their hearts.
Who would have thought that a year ago, the Lu family was a prisoner's humble family in the outer city of Beijing and Zhou Dynasty.
A year later, it became the Shenwu Marquis Mansion.
It can be said to be a glorious ancestor.
But after all, all this is not theirs, it was just Lu Ning who fought for it.
They live in such a big mansion and feel a little uneasy.
Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to have a good chat with Lu Ning.
Lu Ning and Lu Qing had already eaten and drank well in the palace, but when they saw their brother and sister-in-law waiting for them for so long, they still didn't use their chopsticks.
The two of them smiled and sat down to have a reunion dinner with their eldest brother and sister-in-law.
Although it was late, it was fun.
After drinking for three rounds, Lu Xiu said: "Chang'an, now that you are honored as the Great Zhou Shenwu Marquis, I am really happy for you. You really give Lu family face and bring glory to our ancestors."
"Dad, if you know the truth, he will definitely be happy for you."
Lu Ning nodded: "Yes, brother, in two months it will be Qiuwei, and both you and your sister will participate. If you are both in high school, then the three of us brothers and sisters will really make Lao Lu proud."
Lu Xiu nodded: "Yes, so eldest brother has discussed with your sister-in-law and plans to buy a new mansion next to the Shenwu Marquis Mansion. We will live separately so as not to affect your marriage."
Hearing this, Lu Ning and Lu Qing both looked shocked.
Is this going to separate the family?
Before Lu Ning could speak, Lu Qing said first, "Brother, don't I have to buy a new mansion?"
