Chapter 399

"The sixth day of June. It's hot. Reliable news came today that the Prince Jin's mansion in Qizhou was raided, and Li Qi, the trusted king of Jin, was arrested. That Wang Shuncai was also there when he was arrested. It's a pity that he committed suicide in fear of crime.

"However, Wang Shuncai's death doesn't matter anymore. It seems that this Li Qi is Kong Zhen's accomplice, and he is also the mastermind behind the second iron coffin case."

"..."

"June [-]th. It's even hotter. Continue to hit the sky for marriage, but the bumping is not very interesting. I feel that these beauties are rushing to be bumped by me. In the end, I just accept them all...

"..."

"June 26. Heavy rain. Dongfang Yaoluo sent three secret books to Zhao Yu, Huo Anu and Ani, which will help improve the martial arts of these three people.

"When it was raining heavily at night, I drank with Oriental God until dawn, and felt that she was interested in me..."

"..."

"The first day of July. It's sunny. Seeing a doctor of Chinese medicine, I feel that I can no longer indulge in sensuality. That night: Marriage against the sky..."

"..."

"July [-]th. The big event. According to reliable sources, Marquis Lu Jinlong of Changping and some remnants of the Taoist sect were besieged in Yuanzhou. They were all shot and killed on the spot for resisting arrest.

"I have sent someone to investigate, and there is no news about Daoist Qing Lan or Lu Mingyue.

"Thinking of little sister Lu Mingyue, I feel a little uncomfortable. Recalling the scene when we ate candied haws together, I can still vividly remember it.

"What a girl with a sense of justice. It's a pity that her grandmother and father are evil-minded. Lu Mingyue was innocent from the beginning to the end. I'm really worried about her. I hope she wasn't there at the time!"

"..."

"On the first day of August. Ku Niang completely recovered from her injuries. I talked to her at night, but failed. I sang love songs all night, and I felt that my throat was speechless."

"The second day of the eighth lunar month. Marriage against the sky. This time, I changed the rules of the game. Whoever bumps into me will not be hugged into the bedroom. In the end, I didn't catch any of them, so I had to admit it. I guess I have to see a doctor tomorrow..."

"..."

"On the ninth day of September, good news came from the East China Sea. The Daxuan Navy swept across the ten countries in the East China Sea. The Izumo Kingdom, the Banshee Kingdom, and the Three Kingdoms of Pomegranate were completely wiped out.

"The empress dowager is very pleased with her phoenix face, and ordered the navy commanders of the four prefectures of Qing, Qi, Wu, and Yue to station in the ten countries in the East China Sea and temporarily take charge of the affairs of the ten countries. At the same time, she issued a military order to appease the subjects of the East China Sea and take care of the affairs of the takeover.

"Immediately afterwards, the Empress Dowager sent special escorts to send the surrendered kings and their families back to the Holy City, Xuanmiao City, where they were all canonized as marquises, hereditary and no replacements, so as to appease them.

"In this way, the entire East China Sea is incorporated into Daxuan's territory, which further expands Daxuan's land area and sea chart area.

"I estimate that Donghai will become a state in the future, right? Ten small countries will be set up as counties, which means Daxuan has one more state..."

"..."

"September [-]th. I'm not going to get married today, let Ani play games. After a long circle, I feel that this little girl knows herself best..."

"..."

"The third day of October. The big event is coming again! Qiu Dingtian is still alive!!! And...and...he is still in the hall to have a blood test with the second prince Li Yi!

"My good fellow, the queen mother's operation is simply against the sky!
"I really want to see with my own eyes, when those people who have been racking their brains to come up with the idea of ​​the iron coffin see Qiu Dingtian appearing alive in front of them, how will they react?
"The empress dowager is also really fierce, and even moved out the second prince Li Yi who lived in the harem.

"According to reliable sources, the second prince Li Yi is indeed suffering from a serious illness. His eyes are blind, his lips are turned outward, and he has obvious signs of poisoning.

"On the main hall, Qiu Dingtian had a blood test with the second prince Li Yi in full view of the public, and it turned out that they were not related by blood at all.

"Although I know that the blood test itself does not conform to scientific laws, but after such a demonstration, the queen mother is equivalent to rectifying Qiu Dingtian and herself.

"And after this incident, those civil and military officials finally realized that all of this was just a big hole dug for them by the Empress Dowager..."

"On the fourth day of October, Qiu Dingtian was reactivated and appointed as Daxuan Guoshi. On the same day, great changes occurred in the court without any accident. Many ministers wrote to resign, and some people often knelt in the Golden Luan Hall, begging the Queen Mother to punish him...

"It is conceivable that these ministers who have resigned and pleaded guilty must all have been involved in spreading rumors or studying iron coffins.

"Now that they realize that they have been tricked, apart from regretting, they can only plead guilty and beg for forgiveness from the Queen Mother.

"However, the Empress Dowager did not embarrass them. Those who asked for resignation did not approve, and those who asked for sins did not convict them. They just warned them to behave themselves in the future.

"The queen mother is really a political genius. Through the iron coffin incident, she has already cleaned up all the big fish, and the remaining small shrimps and crabs, she naturally doesn't need to make drastic changes.

"On the contrary, choosing to forgive at this time is the best time to buy people's hearts. From now on, these people will be grateful to the Queen Mother and serve them wholeheartedly.

"In this way, the East China Sea is pacified, the Xuanmen is settled, and the iron coffin case is settled. Everything is ready, so what will happen next?"

At this point in the diary, he returned to the page he just wrote.

And when he saw this, Dongfang who was on the bed rolled over gracefully, as if he was about to wake up.

Xu Zun rubbed his drowsy forehead, and then remembered that there is something to do today, that is to pay homage to Shen Xingran in front of the grave.

After returning from the East China Sea, Shen Xingran's body was transported back to the Holy Capital and temporarily buried in the cemetery in the east of the city.

The person who erected the stele today was going to carve it, so Xu Zun decided to go to worship it.

So, after some grooming, Xu Zun kissed the Eastern God Catcher who was still in a drunken dream, and then took the three beauties Ku Niang, Huo Anu and A Ni to the east of the city in a carriage.

Now that Liu Dong has become the housekeeper, he is naturally not needed for things like driving.

The ones driving Xu Zun now are Hou Zhen and others.Hou Zhen drove the car, while Axiuzai, Li Xing and others rode horses to guard on both sides.

Xu Zun knew that these people stayed with him every step of the way, not just to monitor him, but more importantly, to protect his own safety.

After all, Xu Zun offended the two major forces of Xuanmen and Donghai, and it is hard to guarantee that there will be remnants assassinating him, so it is better to be careful.

Of course, the guards also knew that as long as Ku Niang was still by Xu Zun's side, no one would be able to hurt Xu Zun.

For some reason today, Huo Anu waited until the carriage drove to the cemetery before she remembered something and asked Xu Zun, "Where is Zhao Yu? Why didn't you see him today?"

"I went to find out the news!" Ani said, "The only way for Mr. Xu to get the news now is Lao Zhao!"

When they were talking, everyone had already got off the car, and Ani had already prepared the sacrificial items, and was going to get them with Huo Anu.

Unexpectedly, with the sound of snorting, I saw a galloping horse galloping from the back of the carriage, and the one immediately there was Zhao Yu.

"Woo..." Zhao Yu rode up to the front, pulled the rein hastily, then flew off the horse, and shouted loudly at the same time, "Master Xu, something serious happened! Something serious happened!!!"

Ok?
Including Xu Zun, when they heard Zhao Yu's words, they all trembled and their hearts jumped with fear.

"My lord!" Zhao Yu hurriedly came to Xu Zun and said, "On the Golden Luan Hall just now, the new emperor... the new emperor has ascended the throne!"

what! ?

Hearing such big news, everyone gathered around.

"The new emperor..." Zhao Yu trembled excitedly, "The new emperor is called Li Xing!"

"..."

In an instant, everyone looked at the guard Li Xing in unison, as if they had been burned by something.

Li Xing was taken aback for a moment, then was confused, and then shouted at Zhao Yu: "Master Zhao, what are you kidding?"

"Cough! It's not you!" Zhao Yu explained, "Same name, just the same name! The Li Xing I'm talking about is the son of the second prince Li Yi!"

what?
Everyone was shocked again. Before that, no one knew that Li Yi had a son.

"No..." Huo Anu couldn't help being curious, "Isn't the Empress Dowager the Empress? Why...how did it change again?"

"Li Xing!" Zhao Yu said to the guard Li Xing, "You have to change your name in the future!"

"Oh... oh..." Li Xing was still in a daze.

"The queen mother just announced," Zhao Yu said to the crowd, "the former emperor Li Ao abdicated, and the second prince's son Li Xing succeeded. It is said that this emperor's grandson is only 13 years old this year, and many people don't know about it."

Oh...it's like this...

Xu Zun savored it carefully, as if he had realized something, and murmured: "It is precisely because many people do not know that they are free from political disputes and persecution.

"It seems that the Empress Dowager's goal has never been to become emperor herself, but to choose the most suitable successor for Daxuan!

"In that case..."

Xu Zun thought of something again, and a gleam of excitement flashed in his eyes.

He didn't say the following words, but at this moment he already had a premonition.

Even though he got such shocking news, he still had to go to the grave.

Everyone set up the incense burner, lit the paper money, and began to pay homage to Shen Xingran.

However, when Xu Zun held up the incense and kowtowed, he glanced casually out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly saw a woman in a monk's robe looking at her in the woods on the edge of the cemetery.

Even though the distance was far away, Xu Zun recognized at a glance that this woman was his ex-fiancee——Shen Qian!
No way?
How could she be here?

Oh... Shen Qian is with Princess Ronghua, so it is no accident that she appeared in the Holy Capital.

Shen Qian...

Xu Zun didn't move, just looked straight at Shen Qian in the distance.

Xu Zun couldn't see the expression on Shen Qian's face clearly, but from such a distance, Xu Zun still caught the familiar breath and feeling.

They were speechless, and after staring at each other for more than ten seconds, Shen Qian disappeared, and Xu Zun had no intention of chasing after her.

Maybe...just seeing each other like this is the best result for them two?
However, the song "Lin Jiang Xian" still appeared in Xu Zun's mind without accident:
"...The end of the world suddenly Jue Fang's heart is broken, who knows how to fall in love in this life? A thought is a sorrow from spring to winter. I have not fulfilled my wish, so I will send my love for the afterlife."

After savoring it, Xu Zun discovered that Huo Anu and others had also noticed Shen Qian long ago.

He is surrounded by masters, how could he not notice?
However, everyone tacitly kept a blind eye.

After the memorial ceremony was completed and the inscriptions were checked, Xu Zun and the others began to pack their things and prepare to leave.

As a result, at this moment, another group of chariots and horses galloped over from outside the cemetery.

The chariots and horses drove straight in front of Xu Zun, followed by the curtain of the chariot, but the eunuch in charge of ceremonies suddenly appeared in the eyes of everyone holding the imperial decree.

"Xu Zun accepts the order!"

Hearing this sentence, Xu Zun's heart moved, and he quickly knelt down to accept the order.

Naturally, the others were no exception, except for Ku Niang, everyone else fell to their knees.

"By heaven's blessing, the emperor's edict said," said the eunuch of the ceremony loudly, "Now that I am enthroned, the world is amnesty. Xu Zun, the former criminal officer of Daxuan, has extraordinary courage and insight, is unparalleled in wisdom and courage, and thanks to his merits, he is hereby reinstated as Daxuan. , the official to the third rank will take office immediately. This is my honor."

"Thank you... um..." Xu Zun almost said "Thank you Empress Dowager", but quickly changed his words, "Thank you Your Majesty!"

After getting up to accept the order, Zhao Yu and others were all overjoyed, and congratulated Xu Zunguan on his reinstatement, and he was promoted several ranks in succession.

The eunuch in charge congratulated Xu Zun, and said at the same time: "Xu Tixing, the Holy Majesty announces that you will enter the palace to have a speech. Come into the palace with me! According to the emperor's intention, there are still many cases that need to be handled by you!"

"well……"

Xu Zun nodded, the light in his eyes was full of infinite hope.

The future is long, and I don't know how many cases are waiting for him...
-
"The end".Thank you for watching, see you next book.
