Others' eyes suddenly lit up, as if they saw hope of a comeback.
If Du Ning is officially canonized as Wenjun, even a virtuous king will have no choice but to give up his desire to seize the direct descendant.
Not only that, but you also have to repent of your past mistakes and apologize to Du Ning.
Otherwise, once Du Ning seizes the opportunity to counterattack, the power that the wise king has cultivated for many years will be disintegrated in an instant, and then replaced by the power of other princes.
But looking at it from the other side, if Du Ning encounters an accident in the Three Realms Mountains, it will be good news for the Xian Wang Party.
Without the support of Du Ning, the power of the Wise King Party will be able to make a comeback and have the ability to compete with other kings.
Therefore, officials of the Xianwang Party have not given up yet.
"I still have a chance, I still have a chance..."
The wise king clenched his fists, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes: "This is also my last chance, and I can never make any mistakes again."
The other officials looked at each other, as if they had also made a lot of determination.
…………
Zhenguohou Mansion.
When Du Ning received the documents from the Holy Court and learned that he would be canonized as Wenjun by the Holy Court, he froze for a moment.
[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is currently Yeguo Reading. Install the latest version on yeguoyuedu.]
Because he never dreamed that he would receive such a great honor.
While I was happy for myself, I was also very cautious.
The word "Wenjun" is very important and has great meaning. Only those who have made outstanding contributions to the human race can be canonized.
Du Ning analyzed in his mind that it must be his contribution to designing the mysterious cannon that allowed the industrial technology to break through, and promoting the comprehensive development of the human race's military level across a new era, as well as the "Thousand-Character Classic" to educate the human race's young children, so he was canonized as a writer.
Your qualifications.
Whether in the literary world, the country, or even the human race, he has made outstanding contributions, and has completely surpassed all young scholars of his generation in all aspects.
"The Holy Court has decided to canonize me as Lord Wen, but it did not announce the title immediately. It must be that I will wait until I return from Three Realms Mountain before the formal canonization can be carried out."
"Of course, we don't rule out the possibility that someone might interfere with this and deliberately suppress my canonization. If I die in the Three Realms Mountains, Wenjun's canonization will be forced to stop..."
When Du Ning thought of this, there was a bit of hatred in his eyes.
If he can be canonized as a Wenjun by the Holy Academy in advance, then with his identity and status as a Wenjun from another clan, no scholar from aristocratic families would dare to go against him in the Three Realms Mountains. Du Ning can inspire the morale of many experienced people.<
/p>
And those who have hatred against Du Ning can only give up opposing him, even if they use conspiracy and tricks behind his back, they will be directly defined by the Holy Court as being against the species and severely punished.
However, the Holy Court did not decide on the title of monarch and formally canonize him, and did not allow Du Ning to enjoy the privileges of Wenjun.
In this way, some young people will definitely not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Those experienced people who have a grudge against Du Ning will use all means to target Du Ning in the Three Realms Mountains. Even if they are exposed, they will not
It will be defined as the crime of framing the human race Wenjun and killing the nine tribes against the species.
The stakes involved are worthy of repeated consideration by Ning.
"If someone wants to take advantage of the Three Realms Mountain to harm me, then I can also use the same opportunity to eliminate harm to the human race. Anyone who wants to frame me will be severely punished."
Du Ning's writing is clear and bold, exuding a strange power that offsets all negative emotions.
"Sir, there are officials from the Ministry of Punishment coming to visit." The butler came in and reminded.
"Officials from the Ministry of Punishment..."
Du Ning's expression changed slightly. He was curious as to why someone from the Punishment Department suddenly came to visit him when he had no contact with them.
The next moment, he thought of something again, understood something a little bit, and said: "Ask them to wait in the living room, I will come later."
"Yes."
After a while, Du Ning came to the living room, glanced over, and saw several officials who were originally from the Ministry of Justice sitting in the guest seats in the hall. These people were all Confucian, Taoist, and Imperial scholars.
When they saw Du Ning arriving, they quickly stood up in fear.
Du Ning raised the corners of his mouth and walked over with a smile.
"I'll wait to see Lord Wenjun."
"Meet Mr. Du."
Everyone bowed ninety degrees and bowed with respect, even if the emperor came in person, it was nothing more than this.
Du Ning has not been officially canonized, but his status has been determined by the Holy Court. In their eyes, there is not much difference between Du Ning and Wenjun. Sooner or later they will both be Wenjun.
"My lords, you are very polite. How dare you, Mr. Du, accept this great gift? Please get up quickly."
Du Ning stepped forward to help everyone up, but he deliberately did not return the gift, because he knew that once he returned the gift, these people would definitely have to bow down again, so he simply did not stick to the small details.
"Everyone, please take a seat." Du Ning extended his hand to signal.
"Thank you, Mr. Du."
Everyone sat down again, but they still felt very nervous, and some even had sweat on their foreheads.
"My lords, I'm here to visit my mansion, but I don't know why?" Du Ning asked straight to the point.
"I heard that you were canonized as king by the Holy Court, and we came here to congratulate you."
Some people couldn't wait to speak out, but suddenly realized their gaffe and quickly closed their mouths.
The leader, Han Lin, bowed his hands to Du Ning, lowered his head and said: "We once served as officials under the sect of the wise king, and did some things that offended Du Jun, and also hindered you from entering the official career. We felt very guilty, so
I resigned from the Ministry of Punishment and came here to apologize to Du Jun. I also asked Mr. Du Jun not to remember the faults of villains and to forgive us for our past sins."
Du Ning had no expression on his face, but he was extremely surprised in his heart. He didn't expect that his Wenjun title was so awesome that it actually scared the officials of the Xian Wang Party to resign. This is tantamount to rebelling against the party in the court, and Xian will be punished.
Officials of the royal party were targeted in various ways.
If other officials of the Xian Wang Party resign one after another, Xian Wang's power will collapse and he will become a mere commander.
It can be seen from this that Wenjun's position is so powerful that it is enough to shake the foundation of a prince's party in the court.

Since Du Ning took office in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he has collected a lot of information about the Wise King Party by virtue of his position. He has the power to investigate any files about the civil and military officials in the court.
Therefore, Du Ning did not dare to fully understand the power of the Xian King Party, but he could basically know some details.
For those who came to apologize, Du Ning learned from the information he had obtained that they had embezzled public funds from the Ministry of Punishment when they were under the King Xian. However, because the amount embezzled was small and the accounts were similar, it was difficult to deal with them strictly.
.
Also, when Emperor Hongxuan ascended the throne, he used the Xianwen Society to spread rumors against the young emperor. As a result, when Emperor Hongxuan ascended the throne, the entire capital was in turmoil.
But fortunately, the young emperor was indeed a genius in governing the country. He was personally taught by Emperor Jingwen, and he was able to quickly control all the officials, stabilizing the situation where the kings were about to be in chaos at any time due to the seizure of the heir.
Du Ning picked up the tea cup, took a sip slowly, and said: "The past things are in the past. I won't take it to heart, and you don't have to worry about it. Since you have resigned from the Ministry of Punishment, I will not take it to heart."
No more trying to hold you back, just take care of yourself!"
"Thank you, Lord Wenjun!"
"Thank you, Mr. Du!"
"I will definitely change my ways and be a new person!"
"If you have any missions in the future, just give me your orders. We will be ready to fight with you."
Everyone burst into tears with gratitude. Knowing that Du Ning would not add insult to injury by accepting their apology, everyone felt as if they had received an amnesty and felt very relaxed.
Du Ning chatted with these people for a few more words. Finally, these people achieved their goal and left the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion one after another.
After watching these people leave, Du Ning smiled dumbly and didn't care too much.
The housekeeper came over and said: "Master, you are so kind. Last time I heard the guards at Prince Yan's palace mentioned that when the late emperor was in power last year, he proposed to let you join the court to serve the country, but you were rejected by the wise king and others.
The officials tried their best to obstruct you, and you were not called into the Jinluan Hall by the young emperor until you won the first prize in the Guoxue Palace Competition. Now that these people have come to plead guilty, you should punish them severely to show your power as a prince." Du Ning shook his head and said with a smile: "If I really punish them severely, will there be officials from the Xian Wang Party who will come to me to plead guilty in the future?"
"This..."
The butler thought about it and suddenly realized it, and then he bowed: "I am wise, but I am a villain who talks too much."
"It doesn't matter."
Du Ning waved his hand, indicating that he didn't take it to heart.
The housekeeper's name was Yang Zhong, and he was a person he carefully selected and hired in the capital to manage the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion.
This man is nearly forty years old, but he is a single man.
As his name suggests, he is loyal and honest, and manages the Zhenguohou Mansion very well. He strictly manages the daily income and expenses of the Zhenguohou Mansion in full accordance with Du Ning's wishes.
Even the royalties for "The Thousand Character Essay" will be reviewed by him before being handed over to Du Ning for review, for fear of problems.
Yang Zhong worked as a concierge for a wealthy family back then, so he had a good eye for people and was skillful in speaking and doing things. When Du Ning was not at home, he could receive guests from various wealthy families according to normal procedures.
Even if officials from the DPRK and China come, regardless of their official rank, he can make proper arrangements according to the standards for receiving officials at all levels.
As the saying goes, there is a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door. The derogatory term is that a dog relies on human power to show off his power in front of the prime minister's door, which is equivalent to a seventh-rank official.
In fact, this is not the case. There is another saying, that is, someone who can serve as a concierge must at least have the talent of a seventh-grade official.
Because as a concierge of the prime minister, he often comes into contact with officials of all sizes in the capital. He must have some experience in the political arena and be able to tell who has power behind them and who cannot be offended, so as to avoid conflicts with other people.
The conflict between officials and forces will not make the master's family hostile to other forces. If one relies on the power of one's master to act recklessly, it is simply seeking death. Not only will the reputation of the master's family be insulted, but one's own golden rice bowl will also be lost.
You may even be severely punished.
"Old Yang, I will leave for the Holy Court tomorrow. During this period, I will ask you to help me take care of the affairs of the house." Du Ning said to Yang Zhong.
Yang Zhong looked serious and said slowly: "Master, do you really want to become an experienced person and participate in the Three Realms Mountains? Even I know that the Three Realms Mountains are extremely dangerous, and you have offended the Kong family in the Holy Court. Once you enter the Three Realms Mountains,
, the Kong family will definitely get rid of you at all costs, so for the sake of safety, you have to be cautious!"
This sentence is not meant to be flattery, but because I sincerely do not hope that Duning will die in battle.
Yang Zhong also wandered for half his life, but accidentally applied for a job at the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion. He was appreciated by Du Ning and became the steward of the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion.
Now Du Ning is going to be canonized as king. The family that Du Ning will build in the future will be the Wenjun family. Being able to become the steward of the Wenjun family is simply the greatest honor in his life. Even if someone else can take the official position of a third-grade official and him
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to agree.
You finally have a backer, so how can you fall down at the drop of a hat?
Du Ning said slowly: "Three Realms Mountain is related to the safety of the human race, and it is the trial ground of life and death for the elites of the Three Realms. Since the Holy Academy has chosen me as a man of experience and wants to canonize me as a Wenjun, then I will do it for the scholars of the human race.
Setting a good example can boost the morale of the human race. I absolutely cannot back down at this time. Sooner or later, there will be a big war between the human race, the demon clan and the Rakshasa clan. Only by killing the geniuses of the alien clan can the demon clan and the Rakshasa clan be defeated.
The clan is afraid of our strength and wants to buy more precious peaceful time for the human race to develop and progress. One more person will give us more strength and we can kill more alien geniuses. The demon clan and the Rakshasa clan also think so.
, so they are more warlike than us humans."
"I admire my master's great ambitions, but I'm just worried that if something happens to him..."
Yang Zhong suddenly closed his mouth and did not dare to speak any more.
"Don't worry, I will definitely come back safely, because I still have to save my life to participate in the future prehistoric war." Du Ning said confidently.
"The master is joking. The Three Realms have been at peace for thousands of years. How can we just start a war? Once the Great War starts again, not only our human race, but also their own race will be implicated. The Great War has passed for a long time, but
To this day, when someone mentions this matter, they always feel sad."
Yang Zhong's analysis is well-founded and makes people feel that it makes sense.
"When the Demon Clan and the Rakshasa Clan start another prehistoric war, do you think they will notify us in advance?" Du Ning asked.
"This..." Yang Zhong didn't know how to answer.
"Wars always come suddenly and may happen at any time. Even a saint cannot foresee it. Therefore, we humans must continue to become stronger, and the best way to make ourselves stronger is to participate in life and death trials. If I
Of course you can be safe if you retreat, but you have to know that the flowers in the greenhouse cannot withstand the baptism of wind and rain from the outside world." Du Ning said seriously.
Yang Zhong immediately understood what Du Ning meant. This was Du Ning's ambition to pursue the holy way. He must move forward, never retreat, and constantly surpass himself, so that he can continue to get closer to the holy way in his heart.
"Since the master has made up his mind, I will no longer persuade you. Please rest assured that I will definitely take care of the Marquis's Mansion for you and wait for your triumphant return."
