Twenty-three: Yan Ye, Qin Shao Wedding Night! (Important and must be ordered)
There is a big thing and a small thing in Xidu today.
This major event attracted everyone's attention, and could even be said to be earth-shattering.
Princess Jiken withdrew from the Dragon Temple, and the king issued an order to establish the Princess Palace.
After this decree was issued, the world was shocked. Although the king did not express it clearly, his intention was completely clear.
There were princesses before, and there was also a princess mansion.
However, after the princess gets married, she can no longer live in the palace, so a princess mansion must be built outside the palace.
However, now that Princess Yan Yan is not married, she has established a princess mansion, and the one where Ji Li is located is the Shaojun Mansion.
So this antagonistic relationship has been completely seen.
Many people were very surprised and puzzled. The king had such an intention and could have secretly plotted against Chen Cang (of course, there is no such idiom in this world). Why did he have to make it known to the whole world?
Now even the traffickers and lackeys know that the king intends to make the princess his heir apparent.
After the king was paralyzed, he went completely crazy!
Ever since His Majesty the Dragon Emperor unified the human kingdom, there has been no real queen in almost the entire three thousand years of history.
His Majesty the King wants to create history, even to the point of making the world his enemy.
This is a world where men are superior to women, how can a woman be the king?
The princes, nobles, and even common people in the world are not willing to see a queen ascend the throne, even if they have no hostility towards Princess Yanyan.
But women cannot be kings. This is the tradition of the human world. Whoever breaks this tradition will be the enemy of the entire world.
And what is the status of the changing king among the people?
Of course it is supreme and awe-inspiring, but it is definitely not close to anyone.
He is very powerful, but he is not the founding king. He is not the king of hegemony. Even in his hands, the expansion of the Nulang Kingdom has officially fallen into peace. One hundred thousand mountains blocked the million-strong army of the Nulang Kingdom.
He does not have the majesty nor the popular support to create history.
What was the greatest achievement of King Zhibian during his reign? It was to obtain the allegiance of Rouran City, which allowed the Kingdom of Nulang to add an additional province to the west.
Furthermore, the entire civilian elite rose up with the support of the changing king.
Originally, the entire Nulang Kingdom's civilian operations could only reach the level of high-ranking warrior lords. But now, with the support of King Shibian, the cabinet and the headquarters already had civilian elites.
Therefore, the king's change is completely the benefactor and supporter of the civilian elite. Without the king's change, the civilian elite would hardly be able to really get ahead.
However, the moment the king decreed the establishment of the Princess Palace, the entire civilian elite completely betrayed the king.
As a gathering place for civilian elites, all the civilian students in the civilian branch of Wangcheng Academy immediately went on strike collectively and sat in the square to resist the king's decree after learning about it.
All civilian elites are resisting the king's will.
Although they had the opportunity to become prominent today because of the kindness of the king, they would never tolerate a woman becoming the king of the Wrathful Kingdom.
Moreover, there is no more King Shibian. They can still be loyal to Prince Jili.
Because Prince Li also values civilian elites very highly, haven’t you seen that Ling Ao has become his attendant? In the future, Ling Ao will even replace Turing Tuo and become the first military commander of the Kingdom of Nulang.
There is a saying that is very cruel, but it is true.
People are short-sighted and stupid, especially civilians.
The civilian elites of the Imperial City Academy, as well as the elites of the cabinet and the headquarters, all have wishful thinking that after Prince Xieli ascends the throne, he will continue to reuse civilian elites. The reason is very simple, because Prince Xieli risked the disapproval of the world to let a commoner.
The elite Ling Ao became his attendant.
You know, in the past, the prince's attendants were at least the sons of marquises.
At that time, when he was the king, he had no hope of becoming the crown prince, so Sauron, the son of an earl, became his attendant.
And now, as the future king, Li Li has chosen Ling Ao, a civilian elite, as his attendant. There is no doubt that he will reuse the civilian elite after he takes the throne.
However, all the civilian elites did not see the signal that Zhili reused the civilian elites. Ling Ao was the only one who paid for his bones with a lot of money.
The only reason why Zhi Li came to power and could even compete with King Zhi Bian was that he had nobles and princes standing behind him.
There is a saying that can best describe the king's changing mood.
I originally set my heart towards the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch.
Almost overnight, all the civilian elites who had spent twenty years supporting the king betrayed the king and sided with Prince Li.
Moreover, a message has spread intentionally or unintentionally that the king has been paralyzed.
Suddenly, Prince Ji Li already had the appearance of a human king.
…
After entering the royal city, Sauron received two invitations, one from Princess Yanyan and one from...Ling Ao.
That's right, it's Ling Ao, the attendant of Prince Ji Li.
Sauron said to one of the eunuchs: "Please take me to Princess Yanyan's mansion."
"As ordered." The eunuch said.
Suddenly, a eunuch next to him said: "Earl Sauron, this is your last chance to stand in line. Once you miss it, there will be no possibility of changing."
Sauron looked at the eunuch and said, "I had no choice long ago."
Then, the eunuch led the imperial guards and took Sauron to the princess palace.
Entering the inner city from the outer city, Sauron suddenly found that this road was very familiar.
Half an hour later, we arrived at the gate of the princess mansion.
It sure looks so familiar, because Sauron has finally returned home, and the predecessor of this princess's mansion is actually the Earl of Tianshui's mansion.
In other words, the king drove Sauron out of the royal city, took back the Earl's Mansion, and then replaced it with a new name, turning it into the Princess Mansion.
What the deep meaning of this is is completely unknown.
…
At this time, countless lanterns were hung outside the princess's mansion, illuminating the palace with bright lights.
Outside the princess's palace, there were eunuchs and warriors waiting to welcome guests, as well as countless maids passing by.
Tonight is a big day. The king decreed that the Princess Palace was officially established. And a few days ago, invitations were sent to almost all the nobles and princes in the world, inviting them to attend the dinner party at the Princess Palace.
However……
In front of the entire gate of the Princess Mansion, there was absolutely no one around.
A carriage. Not a sedan.
Not only that, when the Princess Mansion was still the Earl of Tianshui's Mansion, there were many noble mansions on this street.
However, overnight, all the nobles on this street moved away.
Everyone is drawing a clear line with Princess Yan Yan, or to be precise with King Yan Bian.
It can be said that the moment the king decreed the establishment of the princess palace, she became a real loner and became the enemy of the entire world.
Not to mention, the news that the king's transformation has been paralyzed has spread throughout the entire city of Nulang King in just a few days.
To put it in the cruelest terms, everyone is waiting for the death of the king, and then His Highness will become the new king.
As for His Highness Ji Li's defeat in Tianshui City, Sauron successfully regained the territory of Tianshui City. This was originally a big event. However, in the face of the earth-shattering changes in the royal city, it was already insignificant and was just a wave of waves.
…
Under the guidance of the eunuch, Sauron entered the princess's mansion, which was also the former Earl of Tianshui's mansion.
Arriving at the banquet hall, there were hundreds of tables, countless delicacies, and hundreds of eunuchs and maids standing everywhere in the hall, trying to take care of everyone.
However……
In the entire banquet hall, there were maids, eunuchs, fine wine, and delicacies. There was feasting and feasting, but there was not a single guest.
Yes. Not a single customer.
There were only two people in the entire banquet hall. Princess Yan Yan and Duke Yan Ting.
"Your Royal Highness, Earl Sauron has arrived." The eunuch outside shouted.
Immediately, Duke Jiting came out and said, "The first guest of our dinner party, or perhaps the only guest, is finally here."
Then, Duke Jiting stepped forward and hugged Sauron vigorously.
It was such an empty hall, with hundreds of tables filled with delicious food and wine, but there was no one there.
"Oh, no!" Duke Jie Ting said: "You are not a guest, you are half a master, or even a master."
Then, Duke Jiting hugged Sauron and came to Princess Jiyan's table.
"Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess." Sauron bowed and saluted.
Then, three people sat around a table.
"The banquet has just started?" Sauron asked?
Ji Ting said: "It's almost over, there won't be any guests."
Infinite sorrow suddenly surged in Sauron's heart. He had been on the throne for more than twenty years, and he was also one of the wisest and greatest kings in the history of the kingdom.
However, tonight, he was slapped in the face by all the nobles and princes.
It was really a slap after another, slapped on the king's face.
"Your Highness Princess, since the three of us are masters, we don't need to wait on you." Duke Zhiting said.
Xi Yan smiled and said: "No need."
Then, Ji Ting waved his hand, and all the maids and eunuchs left.
In the extremely huge banquet hall, there was not a single guest, only the three hosts, Yanyan, Zaoting, and Sauron.
"How late is it for Earl Sauron?" Duke Jiaoting asked, "Where is Gao Ningshi? Why hasn't he returned?"
Sauron said: "We were assassinated by the Underworld Society on the way. Thirteen dragon warrior level or above assassins, Gao Ningshi and others have been completely wiped out."
As soon as these words came out, Hao Yan and Hao Ting completely changed their expressions.
Zhili finally broke his skin and completely ignored the king's no-kill order.
Duke Jiuting fell into great sorrow and sighed: "Gao Ningshi, you followed me twenty-three years ago, as if you have become a part of my body, and now you are dead like this... It's really hard to get used to it."
The three people fell into silence.
Duke Jiating said: "Soren, do you know there is a banquet tonight?"
"I know." Sauron said: "The engagement party of Shili's servant Ling Ao."
Ji Ting said: "Do you know what the situation is like over there?"
Sauron said: "It's like a bustling city."
Ji Ting smiled and said: "Not only was there a bustling crowd, but the number of nobles, princes, and civilian elites who went to attend the dinner exceeded several thousand people. The carriages were blocked ten miles away from Duke Turing's palace. The food, drinks, and venue prepared for the banquet were completely
If it’s not enough, the tables have been set outside the street.”
Duke Jiting's voice was extremely sad.
Over there, it was just an engagement banquet for the servants of Ji Li. But it was so crowded that the banquet had to be held outside the street.
And here is the banquet of the king's only daughter, Princess Yanyan. It is deserted, not a single guest.
In other words, the current king's biological blood is not as good as one percent of a slave.
Duke Jiating said: "Count Sauron, do you know who is the only person who supports the princess's mansion tonight?"
"Who?" Sauron asked.
"The brothel prostitutes in the royal city." Duke Jie Ting said: "To celebrate the establishment of the princess palace, most of the brothel girls are given a 20% discount."
After saying that, Duke Jie Ting laughed loudly, then drank a large glass of wine, and tears fell from his eyes.
"I guessed that we would be very miserable. But I didn't expect that it would be so miserable." Duke Jie Ting burst into tears and said, "Sauron, we are enemies of the entire world. Are you sure you want to continue?"
"Of course, I have no choice." Sauron said.
Duke Ji Ting said: "At the most, it will cost me my life, and Ji Yan's life too, and what you have to pay for is the entire Suo family and the five hundred miles of Tianshui City territory. Is it worth it?"
"I have no choice." Sauron said lightly.
Duke Jiting said with tears: "There are twenty-three princes in the world. Twenty-two families are on the side of Jili. There are thousands of nobles in the world, and 100% of them are on the side of Jili. There are only three of us, oh no. Only one.
Man, that person is you. You are the only one who can fight across the river. You have to fight against twenty-two princes and thousands of nobles. Do we still have hope? Now even the king is regarded as a puppet by many people.
, do we still have hope?”
Yes, now on Princess Yanyan's side. Yanyan can't take action personally, and neither can Tingting. The only one who can really come forward to fight is Sauron.
He has to face twenty-two princes, thousands of nobles, and countless civilian elites.
With the whole world as your enemy, is there any hope?
"A leaf blinds your eyes." Sauron sneered: "Those nobles and those princes, you just think they are pigs or dogs! Although this battle is as difficult as climbing to the sky, don't forget that half a year ago I had nothing, but now I have taken it back
I have accomplished two things that are as difficult as ascending to Tianshui City."
That's right, two pieces.
The first thing is to get the Noble Warrior Medal.
The second thing is to recapture Tianshui City.
Sauron said: "Now, what I have to complete is the third task that is as difficult as climbing to the sky, to destroy Xi Li and make Princess Xi Yan the king."
At this time, Princess Yanyan finally spoke for the first time: "Why? Why are you so firmly on my side?"
Sauron said word by word: "Because, Xie Li and I are no longer inseparable."
Si Yan looked at Sauron and said: "The three of us have no way out. Just yesterday, I left the Dragon Temple, which means that I will not be protected by the temple. Once I fail, death will be a threat to me.
It’s the best ending, Sauron. I don’t have any other abilities. The only advantage I have is… trust.”
Trust, for a monarch, may be the greatest gift to his ministers.
Princess Yanyan raised her wine glass and said: "Yes, it is trust, even if I am your master. But... I am willing to obey your will. Your performance has completely conquered us. From now on, our strategies will be completely deployed by you. Your
Will is our direction. No matter what will you issue, we will do our best."
Sauron was astonished, and with just one word, Princess Yan Yan regarded him as the Prime Pillar of Heaven.
Then, he raised his glass and said: "A scholar will die for his confidant."
Duke Jieting said: "Solon, I hope you have a plan that can make us agree to this war that is almost impossible to win, this war in which one person fights against the whole world."
"We are fighting against the whole country with one corner." Sauron nodded: "I have a three-step strategy in mind. Once these three-step strategy is completed, we will win most of this decisive battle."
Yan Yan's beautiful eyes lit up and she said, "Please tell me."
Sauron said: "The first step is to block this fatal counterattack by the Lili forces against Tianshui City, because for a long time, Tianshui City will be our only base, source of troops, and source of money."
That's right, Sauron's Tianshui City is the only territorial force in the Yan camp.
Once Sauron and Tianshui City are destroyed, Yan Yan will be completely defeated in this kingdom's civil war.
Therefore, Li Li's counterattack will definitely be extremely fierce and terrifying, like the power of thunder.
Duke Jie Ting said: "How will the Jie Li forces' counterattack against Tianshui City proceed?"
"It should come from the sea." Sauron said: "Treat me in return. There will be countless disguised pirates attacking Rock Island from the sea, cutting off our current only source of wealth, and then invading Tianshui City.
, completely destroying Sox’s foundation.”
Then, Sauron said: "Let me guess, how many forces will join this so-called pirates? Linhai Gui clan, the Yingzhou fleet that has been conquered by Ashiro, and the most powerful navy trade among the princes.
Strong Luanyang City."
Duke Jiating said: "With the combined efforts of the three families, there will be more than 50,000 navy troops."
"It will definitely exceed 50,000, or even far more." Sauron said: "In the name of pirates, the more the merrier."
Ji Ting said: "Then this battle will be extremely difficult. We have less than three thousand naval forces."
"It is very difficult." Sauron said: "But we must win. Only by winning the fatal blow from Li Li can we survive. Only then can we have the opportunity to carry out the second and third steps of the strategy."
Ji Ting said: "Then what is the second step of the strategy?"
Sauron said: "The second step of the strategy is to help the target person, Ashiliren, defeat her younger brother Ashiro, help her ascend to the position of Lord of Rouran City, and then support Her Royal Highness the Princess."
As soon as these words came out, Princess Ji Ting and Princess Ji Yan's eyes lit up.
The second step can be called a stroke of genius.
First of all, Ashili is a woman. Once she succeeds as the Lord of Rouran City, she will break the precedent that women cannot succeed.
Secondly, once Ashili supports Yan Yan, it will open a huge crack in the power of the princes.
The Rouran Ashi family is the largest prince in the Nulang Kingdom, with an army of hundreds of thousands, and the best cavalry in the world.
Once it has the support of Rouran City, the Yan Yan camp will be even more powerful, and its significance is even less than that of the Normandy landings in World War II.
Therefore, once the second step is successful, it will completely change Princess Yanyan's current absolutely unfavorable situation.
"What about the third step?" Ji Ting asked.
Sauron said: "Attack the enemy to death, destroy Linhai City, kill Gui Xingfu and all his sons, support Gui Qinshao to become the second female prince, and make her loyal to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
As soon as these words came out, Ji Ting looked at Suolun in complete disbelief and said, "So, that night a few months ago, you had already made plans for Gui Qinshao?"
Sauron nodded and said, "Yes, I planted certain seeds in her and waited for the harvest."
At this moment, a eunuch came in and said: "Ling Ao sent a second invitation, inviting Earl Sauron to attend the engagement dinner between him and Miss Gui Qinshao."
Sauron smiled and said: "Since someone is so enthusiastic, then I will be a bad guest."
Then, Sauron left the Princess's Mansion and took a carriage towards Duke Turing's Mansion.
If Ling Ao knew that his beloved bride, the red pill, had been "stolen" by Sauron, I wonder if he would go completely crazy.
