Chapter 279: The emperorâs favor towards Shen lang is unparalleled!
Translator: 549690339
Dealing with the Crown Prince and the third Prince was completely different from the previous battles.
Previously, they only needed to destroy the enemy.
This time, however, it was not possible.
If he wanted to eliminate the Crown Prince and the third Prince, he had to first elect the fifth Prince.
The fifth Prince was the foundation.
Otherwise, how could Shen lang fight against the Crown Prince and the third Prince alone?
This would not do.
In the past, Shen lang had done a great job in dealing with the Qiang Kingdom and su Nan.
The monarch would benefit the most directly.
It was precisely because he was getting more and more important in the monarchâs heart that Shen lang became more and more domineering in the Yue country.
As long as it didnât go against the monarchâs interests and didnât trample on his bottom line, there wouldnât be any problems.
However, the Crown Prince and the third Prince were not only the kingâs sons, but also the possible inheritors of Yue country.
If they were destroyed, the country of Yue would suffer the greatest loss, as well as the king, ning yuanxian.
Of course, Shen lang did not care about the interests of Yue country.
However, he was considered half a son-in-law to ning yuanxian. Although ning yuanxian did not acknowledge him, Shen lang did not acknowledge him either.
Therefore, the most important thing in this battle was to support the fifth Prince, Ning Zheng.
The first step was to make his status normal.
Ning Zhengâs current status was completely abnormal. He was the son of the king, but he had no title, and there were almost no servants around him. He was even married to the daughter of a merchant.
Not only that, but every time there was a celebration in the palace, Ning Zheng was absent.
It wasnât that he didnât want to go, but the king didnât allow him to.
He stammered and was regarded as an inauspicious person. The king despised him and felt that it was embarrassing for him to be present.
Therefore, in order to make his status normal, he must first be conferred a noble title.
Generally speaking, the son of a King would be conferred the title of Duke.
For Ning Zheng, being conferred the title of Marquis was also fine. At least, he could open a Manor and have his own power.
After Ning Zheng was conferred the title of nobility and opened up a mansion, the next step was to build up his team.
Then, there was the third step, which was to bring Ning Zhengâs team to shock everyoneâs eyes, constantly creating miracles, constantly making contributions, and let the whole world know how powerful Ning Zheng was. This made the king, ning yuanxian, look at him in a new light and completely change his perception.
The fourth step was to eliminate the Crown Prince and the third Prince and replace them, making Ning Zheng the new crown Prince.
After this mission was completed!
Shen lang had almost no grudges against her.
He could then retire and return to the Marquis of Xuanwuâs residence to live a life of luxury.
He would build an advanced ship and take Mulan around half the world. Then, he would sleep every day and give birth to a baby.
However, this mission was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Why is it as difficult as ascending to the heavens?
The first time, Xuanwu city completely broke free from the new governance crisis, it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. The second time, it was also as difficult as ascending to the heavens to exterminate the SU clan.
Or now?
It really was.
He wanted to eliminate the Crown Prince and the third Prince, and at the same time, make the fifth Prince Ning Zheng the Crown Prince. It sounded really outrageous.
Ning Zheng becoming the Crown Prince? How was this possible?
However, once he succeeded, the sense of achievement would be much stronger.
The key was that it could really be done once and for all, and there would be no enmity in the world!
........................
The 2,000 soldiers of the tianyue military governorâs office still surrounded the fifth Princeâs residence, not allowing anyone to enter or leave.
After Shen lang returned home, Bing âer had calmed down and fell asleep.
Jin mucong was not at home.
He went to the zongzheng temple to seek an audience with the great zongzheng, Ning Yu.
Jin mucong knew that he was of little importance and could not save the fifth Prince, Ning Zheng.
However, he couldnât stop doing it just because he couldnât do it.
Hence, he had spent the past three days in zongzheng temple.
Shen lang had checked on Xiao Bingâs fetus before. It was still very healthy. However, the fetus was slightly affected due to the motherâs fear.
Bing âer was pregnant with a girl.
Most of them were very quiet, but sometimes they were very lively, and would also punch and kick their motherâs stomach.
Shen lang comforted the baby in his stomach.
After sleeping for more than 10 hours, Bing âer woke up.
She went to wash up first.
Then, it went into Shen Langâs arms again.
âSon-in-law, letâs go home after we rescue the fifth Prince, okay? I donât like the capital at all.â
Shen lang did not like it either.
He wanted to send Bing âer back to Xuanwu city, but Bingâ erâs stomach was too big, and it was not good to travel.
She might as well wait for the child to be born. When the child was almost one year old, she would send him back to her home in Xuanwu city.
The baby was too small and not suitable for long journeys.
âI wonder how Keke and Xixi are doing? The great grace Court is a terrifying place.â Bing-er said uneasily.
donât worry, Bing âer, â Shen lang said. once we rescue the fifth Prince, Ning Zheng, we will bring the two girls home immediately.
........................
Inside the zongzheng temple!
Jin mucong stood still in the courtyard.
However, the great principal Ning Yu did not want to see him at all.
Jin mucongâs status was too low, and he was not even worth Ning Yuâs attention.
Although he was the Crown Prince of the Marquis of Xuanwu, everyone knew that Shen lang was the decision-maker of the Jin family in the capital.
Jin mucongâs words carried little weight and no one would care about him.
However, he continued to stand there.
He was too tired at night, so he sat on the floor to sleep. Then someone came to give him a blanket.
The next morning, he stood there to block the head of the sect, Ning Yu, Royal uncle.
This stubborn personality was very similar to Jin Zhuoâs.
Finally, one day, the great principal Ning Yu said, â Jin mucong, you can go back. Your words donât count. Wait for Shen lang to come.
Following that, the great principal Ning Yu continued, â however, itâs useless even if Shen lang came. He canât save Ning Zheng either. Killing three court officials, two court officials, and a junior official of the Supreme Court in public is simply sensational news. It has already spread to all the countries in the East. All the foreign envoys expressed their shock. I canât believe that thereâs such a brutal person in the royal family of our Yue Kingdom.â
This matter was true.
The news that Ning Zheng had killed several court officials at home had indeed caused an uproar in the entire capital.
It was truly shocking.
Would the consequences be serious?
It was extremely serious.
In the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Daoguangâs eldest son, Yi Wei, and his teacher said that if I became the Emperor, the first person I would kill would be you. In the end, Emperor Daoguang kicked him in the crotch and died.
Yi Wei, the eldest son of the Emperor, who was almost the Crown Prince, had been kicked to death by the Emperor after saying such disrespectful words to his teacher.
But if you say itâs not serious?
When the Emperor of Han, Liu Qi, was still the Crown Prince, he had a dispute over chess and used a chessboard to smash the Crown Prince of Wu, Liu Xian, to death.
And the result?
Nothing happened. His position as the Crown Prince was not affected at all.
Of course, this incident also became the trigger for the King of Wuâs rebellion.
Therefore, in the eyes of many people.
Shen lang had publicly killed the guerrilla general Wang Dong, which was a heinous crime.
Fifth Prince Ning Zheng had publicly killed five officials of the Supreme Court, which was also a matter that caused a sensation throughout the country.
It looked as if it had pierced through the sky.
However, in Shen Langâs eyes, this was not a big deal.
..................
In the crown princeâs residence!
Ning Yi had already lost the statue of Jin Mulan, but he always had something in his hand.
At this moment, he was playing with a Jade ornament.
The sixth Prince, Ning Jing, looked at the Crown Prince with an ingratiating gaze.
The entire su family was exterminated, and Su Feiâs soul was completely scattered. Every day, she closed the palace doors and didnât see anyone. She waited for the king to return, not even seeing her own son, Ning Jing.
And Ning Jing came to the crown princeâs residence every day to flatter.
If the SU family was destroyed, he, Ning Jing, would not die.
However, it was impossible for her to return to her previous status, so she quickly came over to curry favor with the Crown Prince.
His Majesty has already gone south, â Zhuo Zhaoyan said. heâll be back in four days.
Ning Jing said, â Shen lang has really gone crazy. He actually killed the generals of the Imperial court and attacked the city guards in public at Xuanwu Gate. If this is not a rebellion, what is it? â Heâs just a live-in son-in-law, donât think that just because he slept with Ning Yan once, heâs our son-in-law. Heâs not worthy.â
The person who hated Shen lang the most was the sixth Prince, Ning Jing.
How high was his status originally?
With the SU family behind him, he enjoyed endless glory, splendor, wealth, and rank. The Crown Prince and the third Prince all came to win him over.
And now, he had almost nothing.
Zhuo Zhaoyan said, â thereâs something called fake strength. Shen lang is like that. Now, he should be able to see the truth of his weakness.â
Ning Jing said,âbut itâs too late. Those who offend brother Crown Prince can only die.â Brother Crown Prince, why donât you let Admiral Zhang lead the Army to break into Ning Zhengâs broken house and capture Shen lang?â
Crown Prince Ning Yi didnât reply to him. Instead, he continued to play with the Jade in his hand.
Zhuo Zhaoyan said, â donât worry, Your Highness. His Majesty is very clear about what he loves and hates. Although Shen lang has done well, he killed someone in front of the capital. Furthermore, he killed a guerrilla general from the Imperial court. He even broke into the palace. This is a complete rebellion and a slap to His Majestyâs face. It will remind people of su Nan.
At that time, su Nan had killed his way out of the Vermillion Bird sect and completely removed the mask of Yue countryâs power.
Now that Shen lang led his Army into Xuanwu city, his situation was similar to su Nanâs.
Ning Jing said, â father loves his face the most. Whoever dares to embarrass him will die without a doubt. Even if they have made a contribution, there is no exception. Shen lang is dead this time.
Ning Jingâs words were actually making up his fatherâs unkind and unkind words.
The Crown Prince remained silent.
Ning Jing tried to please her again. miss Zhuo, youâre really smart. Ning Zheng killed someone and Shen lang killed someone. Neither of them can be saved. To Shen lang, misfortunes never come alone.
The Crown Prince finally put down the Jade in his hand and looked at Zhuo Zhaoyan. âItâs been two times.â
Zhuo Zhaoyanâs delicate body trembled and she immediately knelt down.
The Crown Prince often spoke like this. It was inexplicable and he didnât know what to say.
Only those who knew him best would know what he was talking about.
He had said it twice, but he was saying that it was a bitter life.
The first time he was asked to kill Xu Qianqian, ku Huan didnât do anything.
And this time, he had not done anything when he was asked to assassinate Jin Zhuo.
Not only did he not make a move, but he also disappeared without a trace, which led to Wu stateâs misjudgment and completely losing the battle of raging tide city.
The consequences would be dire.
Especially the yin Yuan Association, who had suffered great losses.
âYour Highness, heâs useful after all. I hope your Highness can give him a few more chances. There are people in the world who are better than him in martial arts, but theyâre all very difficult to dispatch. Talents are rare.â
Zhuo Zhaoyan begged.
âLet him out, then capture him and punish him!â Crown Prince Ning Yi said.
Zhuo Zhaoyanâs body trembled when she heard that.
âYour Highness, please give him another chance. Itâs impossible to find another Lackey with such powerful martial arts.â
The Crown Prince did not say anything else.
Usually, he would never change his words.
Ku Huanhuanâs martial arts were very high, and it was indeed useful at times.
But he had too much of a personality.
Thereâs actually a distinction between good and evil, and even good and evil?
This was simply too laughable.
Humans could have a personality, but dogs definitely couldnât.
It was the first time that she was disobedient, so it was understandable.
If the dog didnât listen to him the second time, he would be beaten to death.
âYes!â
yes! Zhuo Zhaoyan said, â I will get him to meet me as soon as possible and then take him down!
..............................
Princess Ning Yan was still under house arrest in a small courtyard of zongzheng temple.
After eldest Princess ning Jie returned to the capital, she immediately handed Zheng tuo over to yan e of the black water platform and once again lived in seclusion in the quiet hut.
What happened in Ning Zhengâs mansion? She knew it all.
She also knew about what happened to Shen lang at the gate of Xuanwu.
However, he still pretended that he didnât know anything.
He didnât come out at all.
A trusted eunuch had once mentioned it.
This might be a good opportunity to improve her relationship with young master Shen lang.
However, Princess ning Jie said,âwhy should I ease our relationship?â
This matter was related to the Crown Prince and the third Prince, ning Qi. She would definitely not interfere.
........................
At this moment, the entire capital was holding their breath, waiting for the arrival of the monarch.
Too many things had happened recently.
The Yue country was in a fatal crisis, and Shen lang and Zhang Ye turned the tide.
The king, ning yuanxian, had once again staged a shocking adventure, allowing Bian Xiao to kill the entire Wu country, causing blood to flow like a river.
In less than two months, several wars broke out around the state of Yue.
Moreover, Yue country had won all of them.
Previously, due to the failure of the hunting competition at the border and su Nanâs killing spree in the capital, ning yuanxianâs reputation had suffered a huge blow, almost to the bottom.
However, in just two short months, everything was reversed.
The king, ning yuanxianâs reputation had reached its peak.
Especially after the Wuyue Alliance was signed, it shook the entire Eastern world.
The previous ning yuanxian was already very domineering. After such a great success, he must have become even more dictatorial and dictatorial.
All the officials should pray for themselves.
At this time, they should just quietly wait for the monarch to return to the capital, and then everyone would celebrate this great victory together.
He didnât expect that there would still be someone who set off a storm.
First of all, Ning Zheng had gone crazy. He had killed five court officials in his house.
Secondly, Shen lang had killed the guerilla generals of the Imperial court at the gate of Xuanwu, which was equivalent to a rebellion.
At this moment, the Army of the tianyue military governorâs office was still surrounding Shen lang.
As long as the Emperor gave the order, they would immediately rush in to capture Shen lang. They would either be thrown into the prison of the Supreme Court or the prison of the black water terrace.
Shen Langâs action was equivalent to slapping the monarchâs face.
His Majesty would definitely not let him off easily.
Moreover, the king had planned to raise his prestige in the northern Palace.
When the messenger from Chu State arrived, he immediately saw that the King of Wu was submissive to the king of Yue and was extremely obedient.
How much of a blow would this be to the Chu State?
How strong was ning yuanxianâs pleasure?
The vain ning yuanxian had been looking forward to this for a long time.
But now, it was all gone.
Everyone was sure that the king, ning yuanxian, was furious.
Once he returned to the capital, there would definitely be a thunderstorm with shocking might.
Therefore, all the officials in the capital shrank their necks and held their breaths, waiting for the monarch to show his Dragonâs might.
He was waiting for Shen lang and Ning Zheng to be in trouble.
They were waiting for many heads to fall to the ground!
........................
In the Prime Ministerâs Manor.
The governor of Tiannan province, Zhu Rong, said, â father, His Majesty is only a hundred miles away from the capital. Heâs faster than I thought. Itâs obvious that heâs in a hurry. Heâs very angry.
The Prime Minister, Zhu hongzhu, was writing.
This was a true calligraphy master.
âThe crown princeâs side?â Zhu Rong said.
âLet him be,â Prime Minister Zhu hongzhu said.
everyone from the White Night County must be quarantined before entering the capital, â Zhu Rong said. this decree was issued by the Minister after all.
âI didnât send it,â Zhu Hong replied.
The status of the Prime Minister was truly extraordinary.
There were a total of four prime ministers on the ministerâs desk. He was definitely ranked first and was the absolute pillar of support for ning yuanxian among the Civil officials.
However, in his eyes, the Board of Ministers was still the Board of Ministers, and he, Zhu Hong, was still Zhu Hong.
Not too relevant.
âBut the government decree issued by the Council of Ministers, everyone will instinctively feel that it has something to do with you,â Zhu Rong said.
âIt doesnât matter, as long as Your Majesty knows it has nothing to do with me,â Zhu Hong replied.
The Prime Minister was getting on in years and did not attend court most of the time.
Only at the most crucial moment would he appear in the Imperial court, like a stabilizing force.
since heâs a Bodhisattva, itâs inevitable that heâll be carried out to be used. Itâs no problem. Zhu hongzhu said, â there are many things that we shouldnât get involved in. The Zhu family does support the Crown Prince. However, at this moment, there is no need for us to show our faces.
âWhat about Shen lang?â Zhu Rong asked.
âThose who walk different paths canât work together,â Zhu Hong said.
........................
The monarch had returned faster than anyone had imagined.
They appeared a day earlier at the North of the capital.
Immediately, the Crown Prince led the officials to welcome the kingâs triumphant return with the grandest ceremony.
In order to celebrate this great victory.
The monarch didnât even go to the palace directly, but to the newly built holy temple to pay tribute to the Saint.
Then, he went to the altar of his ancestors to comfort them.
When they finally entered the palace, it was already night.
He first went to see concubine Bian, and even excitedly leaned against her stomach, listening to the heartbeat of the fetus.
After spending two hours with concubine Bian!
Tianyue military governorâs office, Zhang Zhao, has entered the palace!
Your Majesty, five days ago, Shen lang led the Army back to the capital. According to the decree of the Minister of State and the Bureau of Military Affairs, anyone who returns from the White Night County must be quarantined. Only after their bodies are checked can they be released. However, Shen lang was arrogant and trampled on the decree of the Minister. He publicly killed Wang Dong, the guerilla general of the house of commanders, and 83 city guards.â
âSuch an act is unheard of. Furthermore, these people are from the White Night County. I am afraid that they have heavenly flowers on them, so I have sent 2000 soldiers to surround Shen Langâs residence. No one is allowed to enter or leave.â
âYour Majesty, please make your own decision on how to deal with Shen lang!â
Zhang Zhao of the tianyue military governorâs office was also considered a person of the monarch, but his stance was biased toward the Crown Prince.
This was also permitted by the monarch.
After all, ning Qi, the third Prince of Tian Yue city, had almost mastered all the military power around Tian Yue city.
Then it was only right to hand the city guards to the Crown Prince.
Furthermore, the Imperial Armyâs elites were completely loyal to ning yuanxian.
Therefore, the situation was still balanced.
After hearing Admiral Zhang Zhaoâs words, the monarch was furious. Shen lang, youâre too audacious.
âWhat is he in front of the Xuanwu Gate? Is it the door to his house?â
âHow dare you barge in and kill a general of the Imperial court?â
does he think that he can do whatever he wants just because he has made some contributions in Tianxi province? â
âImpudent, impudent!â
Li Sun, bring some men to the ning government and bring Shen lang to me.
âYes!â The great eunuch Li Jing replied.
Then, he personally led a few dozen Warriors to Ning Zhengâs residence to âcaptureâ Shen lang.
..................
Half an hour later!
Shen lang appeared in front of the king, ning yuanxian.
âGreetings, Your Majesty,â Shen lang bowed and said.
The monarch looked at Shen lang for a long time as if he wanted to see if he looked Haggard and if he had lost weight.
There was no result at all, and it was still dazzling.
Immediately, the monarch was displeased.
In these two months, Iâve been working so hard, and Iâm exhausted, as if Iâve aged a few years.
You didnât change at all?
Preposterous?
The monarch was about to get angry.
But after thinking about it, he gave up.
There was no point in acting all the time.
âBastard, canât you just stand it?â The monarch said helplessly,âdo we have to be so intense? If you knew that someone would frame you when you entered the city, why didnât you sneak in? If you kill a guerrilla general like this, arenât you slapping my face? If you break into the black Tortoise gate like this, where will the dignity of the country be?â
Shen lang was about to explain.
forget it, forget it. Your explanation is Bullsh * t and unreasonable. Youâre not a good person at all.
The king waved his hand impatiently.
but this is a serious matter. I must punish you. The dignity of the country can not be taken lightly.
âHowever, weâll talk about this later.â youâve made such a great contribution, â ning yuanxian said. youâve killed su Nan and Zheng tuo. Youâve also saved the entire White Night Prefecture and completely blocked the epidemic. What kind of reward do you want? Tell me!â
âI can say anything?â Shen lang asked.
âWait!â shut up, â the monarch said. Iâll do it.
Alright, alright, alright, tell me then.
The monarch said,âYunmeng Lake went to Yan capital to discuss the divorce of Ning Ying with Prince Lian.â How about this, Iâll set a date for you to take Ning Ying?â
Ugh!
Shen lang did not know what to say.
He could not hurt ning Mengâs heart.
However, he definitely did not want to leave the Jin Corporation, much less Jin Mulan.
The monarch said, â Iâve given Jin Zhuo a decree. He will let you go free. From now on, you are no longer the Jin familyâs son-in-law. As for the relationship between you and Jin Mulan, I wonât force you to separate. You two will still be in the same relationship in secret, but on the surface, you can only have Ning Zheng as your only wife.â
On this point, the king, ning yuanxian, had really done his best.
Not only did he betroth his daughter to you, but he also turned a blind eye to your relationship with Jin Mulan.
Shen lang said timidly, â Your Majesty, I am only willing to be a live-in son-in-law. How about this? I will be the live-in son-in-law of the Jin family and your family at the same time. How about that? â It might be a wonderful thing to marry into two families at the same time.â
Ning yuanxian could hardly believe his ears.
How could there be such a shameless person in this world?
Marry into the family at the same time?
L-only you could think of that!
Beside him, Li Sun was also completely stunned!
This ... Wasnât this a lunatic?
Instantly, the monarch trembled with anger.
âThrow it out, throw it out, fork it out for a spin!â
Then, master lang was lifted up by two warriors and thrown out.
âThrow it in again, throw it in here to run!â
After a while.
Shen lang was thrown in front of the monarch again.
Ning yuanxian roared, â
Shen lang, do you know what you just missed? â
âThere wonât be any more chances in the future, definitely no more chances.â
âYou ungrateful dog, youâve forever missed the chance to become my son-in-law.â
âBastard, bastard!â
The monarch was so angry that he didnât know how to vent his anger.
Could it be that my son-in-law is not as good as the Jin familyâs live-in son-in-law?
Youâre so happy to be a live-in son-in-law?
In order to continue to be the Jin familyâs son-in-law, you actually refused to be my Prince Consort and refused to marry Ning Ying?
Bastard.
Treating good intentions as ill intentions.
I, ning yuanxian, have never been so ungrateful before.
If it wasnât for my good temper, you would have been beaten to death by now.
Ning yuanxian, who was about to explode from anger, took a few deep breaths before he calmed down.
young master Shen, youâve done a great service, â ning yuanxian sneered. I canât not reward you. Tell me, what do you want? â
The words âyoung master Shenâ were already filled with sarcasm.
âYour Majesty, can I really say anything?â Shen lang asked.
âIf you want to say it, then say it. If you donât, then get lost!â Ning yuanxian said.
âYour Majesty, please grant His Highness Ning Zheng the title of Duke!â Shen lang said.
