Chapter 1232 Fight
The powerful arrival of the Red Flag Army changed so many things. Visible changes were taking place in this world every day, and the way of life that people had been accustomed to for hundreds of years had become unrecognizable.

The Nanqing Palace is now strictly guarded by the soldiers of the Red Flag Army. The former royal family members living there are not allowed to go out at will. The forces previously run by the crown prince and the second prince have also been wiped out. Su Ning, the sixth prince of Nanqing, is the only one who has benefited. Naturally, this has caused many people to secretly speculate.

The former Taiping Villa has become the current Ning Wang Mansion and the political center of the Celestial Empire during the transition period. For this reason, the Red Flag Army also built new military camps and court office areas around the Taiping Villa.

The military camps and court offices that sprang up overnight became new landmarks in Kyoto, shocking everyone's heart like a series of miracles. People could not help but slowly begin to accept this new Ning Wang Mansion and the new lifestyle.

Immediately afterwards, Dongyi City and Xihu, who had no ability to resist, chose to surrender. Si Gu Jian, who had fought with Emperor Qing for countless years, also surrendered to the iron torrent and, like the Northern Qi royal family, were all moved and placed under house arrest in Kyoto Prefecture.

In this way, a royal district of the previous dynasty was slowly formed with the original Nanqing Imperial Palace as the center. In it lived the royal descendants whose country had been destroyed by the Red Flag Army. Then, these people, like ordinary people, witnessed the arrival of a new era with their own eyes.

In order to successfully and thoroughly transform this fantasy world, Suning naturally mobilized the resources in his own space world, and then built a brand new world in a short time.

Lin Ruofu, who found it difficult to accept the loss of his power, excitedly found Suning and questioned him. He really felt that he must have been targeted by Suning and the Red Flag Army.

In addition, Lin Ruofu had long realized that the relationship between Suning and the Red Flag Army was not simple, so he naturally did not believe that it was a fluke, but rather a shocking plan that Suning had been planning for a long time.

Lin Ruofu looked at his new son-in-law with displeasure, "Your Highness, why doesn't the new Ning Palace have a prime minister? Doesn't the Celestial Empire need a prime minister in the future?"

At this moment, Su Ning stated confidently without hiding anything, "That's right! From now on, there will only be a seven-member cabinet above the six ministries. Cabinet members will only have the right to make suggestions, not approval. As for the secretariat, it will mainly be responsible for summarizing, organizing, and reviewing. The final approval power will be in the hands of Prince Ning or the new emperor of the Celestial Empire."

"What? Isn't this nonsense? The prime minister system has existed for thousands of years, and there must be a reason for it. You are acting recklessly to depose it."

"Lord Lin, I understand your feelings very well, but this is the political system arranged by the Red Flag Army. We in the Ning Palace can only do our best to cooperate with them." At this time, Su Ning once again played tricks and brought up the Red Flag Army.

"..." The dethronement of the Prime Minister and the strengthening of central power had already convinced Lin Ruofu of Suning's connection with the Red Flag Army. Naturally, he couldn't help but sneer. "Humph! I didn't expect that you, a puppet, would feel so at ease with what you did, Your Majesty. Do you really think that everyone in the world is a fool to be fooled at will?"

"Haha, Elder Lin, do you believe that many people are eyeing this puppet position of mine? They all want to kill me and take my place. Besides, even if some people guess the real story, what good will it do?"

"..."

"Master Lin, the world has changed. If you can't accept this change, the final result will surely be that you will be ruthlessly abandoned."

"Ah..." Lin Ruofu sighed helplessly at this moment, then looked at Su Ning in front of him with a rare pragmatic look and asked, "Does the Red Flag Army have any plans for the future of the Celestial Empire?"

"Since the country was named Da Ning, I was naturally given the title of Emperor Da Ning, and the reign title was Yongjia."

"Humph! It turns out that Your Highness is the driving force behind the Red Flag Army."

"Lord Lin, this is absurd! Perhaps it's just my good luck that the Red Flag Army chose me."

"..." At this moment, Lin Ruofu, who had connected the past and the present, looked at Suning in horror. It was not until this moment that he was convinced that Suning was the big player hiding behind the scenes.

"Oh right! Qin Ye is already too old to be a soldier. I intend to have the former eldest prince, Li Chengru, serve in the Ministry of War."

"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that Li Chengru, who has seized power, will choose to rebel?"

"The Red Flag Army is here! No one can stir up trouble, not even Sean and Shangshanhu, father and son."

"..."

At this time, Lin Ruofu naturally understood a lot from Suning's words. It's not that no one has not doubted the role played by Suning in this incident. After all, some key issues are too subtle and mysterious.

Unfortunately, even if they suspected it, they could not produce any evidence. The world had magically fallen into Suning's control, so no matter how unwilling Lin Ruofu was, it was of no avail.

Soon after, Su Ning and Fan Ruoruo completed their wedding. Fan Ruoruo naturally became the Princess of Ning, while Lin Wan'er was canonized as the Concubine by Su Ning.

After Su Ning, Fan Ruoruo and the other two got married, Fan Xian also held a wedding with Zhan Doudou. The two weddings one after the other moved Chen Pingping deeply. He suddenly felt that he had finally given his answer to Ye Qingmei.

Chen Pingping looked at Su Ning with a serious expression and asked, "Your Majesty, may I ask you a question now?"

"Dean Fan, go ahead." Su Ning looked at Chen Pingping without comment. In fact, he probably had guessed his doubts.

"Prince, are you Ye Qingmei's other child?"

“Is this question important?”

"Of course! You are extremely important to me! Because your personalities are so similar to yours."

"Dean Chen, just treat it as a coincidence!"

"..." Chen Pingping naturally didn't understand Suning's attitude. It seemed that he didn't want the world to know this secret.

……

Although Suning has forcibly controlled the entire world, all military and political powers are firmly in his hands, and key departments have also been equipped with his own AI robots, but Suning still did not rush to proclaim himself emperor.

Because the Emperor Qing who went to the extreme north has not been found yet, and there are hidden dangers such as Li Chengqian, Li Chengze and others in the palace, so they are prepared to solve them all at once, and the arrival of Emperor Qing with the people from the temple is the best time.

However, when the princes in the palace saw Suning eating meat while they, the "direct descendants", didn't even have the chance to drink soup, they were naturally unwilling to accept this and prepared to make trouble.

Unfortunately, the Red Flag Army's supervision of them was extremely strict. Not only did they not allow people in the palace to leave at will, but even the time limit was set for applications to leave the palace.

The second prince, Li Chengze, no longer had the unruly spirit he once had, because he felt his life was over. "Fan Wujiu, this time I'm relying on you."

"Don't worry, Your Highness! I will definitely bring all the troops hiding in Danzhou to Kyoto." Fan Wujiu naturally understood the seriousness of this matter.

"No! Even if these one or two thousand people came to Kyoto, it would be useless. It would be better to arrest all the people in the Fan Mansion in Danzhou."

"Huh? Why are you arresting them?"

"It's difficult for us to deal with the Red Flag Army on our own. Even dealing with Old Six right now might be difficult, so we need to win over Fan Xian."

"Fan Xian? Your Highness, this guy has always been stubborn and he's not someone you can easily talk to."

"That's fine! Fan Xian grew up in Danzhou and has a close relationship with the old lady of the Fan Mansion. I'm sure they can force Fan Xian into submission." "Yes! Your Highness, Fan Wujiu will definitely do this."

"Well, go ahead! Be sure to be careful on the road."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

"..."

Watching Fan Wujiu quickly disappear into the night, the second prince Li Chengze still found it difficult to accept the reality. The world had changed beyond recognition overnight.

……

Of course, now not only the second prince Li Chengze has started his own action, but the crown prince Li Chengqian and the queen have also started to make small moves, but they have chosen another direction.

You know, the Red Flag Army's preferential treatment of the former royal family of Nanqing has earned it a good reputation among the people, so they mistakenly thought that the Red Flag Army was the kind of people who loved feathers. Coupled with the influence of Su Ning, a royal descendant, they planned to cause some trouble for the Red Flag Army in terms of reputation.

The Empress Dowager Nanqing who stayed in the deep palace became even more indifferent to worldly affairs, because she knew clearly that Nanqing was completely finished. In addition, she also realized that Prince Ning must have had connections with the Red Flag Army for a long time, otherwise such a good thing would not have happened to an ordinary prince like Suning. So the Empress Dowager Nanqing, who saw everything clearly, did not care about worldly affairs.

The Queen Mother's personal maid noticed something was wrong with her, and then she saw that she was bleeding from all seven orifices. "Queen Mother? Queen Mother? What happened to you?"

"..."

"Quickly call the imperial physician..."

Because the Red Flag Army always treated the royal family of the previous dynasty with favor, the Imperial Hospital in the palace was still retained. Soon the director of the Imperial Hospital came in person to treat the empress dowager.

However, after a careful examination, they discovered that the Queen Mother had been poisoned. "Dean Chen, it seems the Queen Mother has been poisoned?"

"What? The Queen Mother has been living deep in the harem, how could she be easily poisoned?" Chen Pingping immediately began to think divergently.

"I don't know about this."

"Humph! Looks like someone has started to take action."

"Dean Chen, the toxins in the Queen Mother's body have already invaded her internal organs. Even the most skilled doctors would find it difficult to save her, so we should prepare for her funeral as soon as possible!"

"..." At this time, Chen Pingping naturally understood that someone was unable to hold back any longer, so he was worried about how Suning would handle this matter.

Chen Pingping then immediately went to Prince Ning's mansion and reported the matter to Su Ning, "Your Highness, I wonder how our Inspection Office should handle this matter?"

"Investigate thoroughly! All the people involved in the case will have their homes confiscated and their families exterminated." Suning said naturally without any emotion.

"Yes! Your Majesty."

"Also, I'm sure all sorts of rumors will spread quickly, and anyone who spreads them will be punished accordingly."

"Yes! Your Highness, the Inspection Office will definitely get to the bottom of this matter."

"Humph! It seems that this time, changing the world will still require a blood sacrifice."

Suning naturally didn't expect that Li Chengze and Li Chengqian would lose their patience so quickly, and it was obvious that they came here to throw dirty water on the Red Flag Army and Suning, so Suning would definitely not let them get their wish easily.

Sure enough, the next day, all kinds of rumors appeared in Kyoto Prefecture, pointing the finger at the Red Flag Army's betrayal, and of course, Suning's treason.

You should know that Suning is also a genuine descendant of the royal family of Nanqing Li. Suddenly, he became the master of the world by chance. Although this master of the world was announced to the outside world as only temporary, it is still inevitable that he will be criticized by people with ulterior motives.

Especially those former officials who survived this earth-shaking change and lost most of their power, they were even more dissatisfied with Suning, the King of Ning.

It wasn't difficult to get to the bottom of this matter, so Chen Pingping soon returned to Prince Ning's mansion. "Your Highness, everything has been fully investigated. The masterminds behind the poisoning turned out to be the Queen and Crown Prince Li Chengqian. Furthermore, over 3,000 people have been arrested for deliberately spreading rumors."

"Queen? Prince? I didn't expect them to lose their patience so soon?"

"Your Majesty, how should we deal with the Queen and the Crown Prince?"

"Public trial! Let their actions be condemned by the world."

"public trial?"

"Fan Xian will understand what a public trial means. You can just go find him directly. Besides, the Queen is involved in Ye Qingmei's death. She is the direct murderer of Ye Qingmei."

"Your Majesty, are you serious?"

"If you don't believe me, just go and interrogate her directly. I believe that with the means you have, it will be easy to pry open the mouth of this vicious woman."

"Okay! Your Majesty, just wait and see what I can do."

Chen Pingping's lifelong pursuit is to find out the cause of Ye Qingmei's death. All the people around him are regarded as suspects by Chen Pingping, and Emperor Qing and the Queen are naturally his main suspects.

Now Su Ning suddenly told Chen Pingping this shocking news, which immediately made Chen Pingping go crazy. The queen was a vicious woman who was originally a coward, and she quickly confessed everything.

Things became simple next. After Fan Xian learned the real murderer of his mother, he immediately used a public trial to make the queen and the prince infamous.

In addition to the illicit love between the Crown Prince and the eldest princess Li Yunrui, Fan Xian, the presiding judge, directly sentenced them to death by beheading.

At the same time, there were more than 3,000 criminals buried with the Queen and the Crown Prince. The sight of more than 3,000 heads immediately made the Kyoto government become much more sober.

Many people who were hot-headed just then realized that this was a change of world, which naturally made these people become more obedient.
