Dongchang needs talents like you

Soon, Chi Ning fell into a busy ocean again-preparing for the crown prince's enthronement, which is the top priority.Facing the outside of the palace, most people's faces were filled with joy, expecting the new monarch to sweep away the ailments from Nianping's reign and bring a new and different atmosphere.

Emperor Nianping himself, together with the not-so-happy reign he represented, was completely forgotten by everyone, and could only lie in the cold Wan'an Palace all day long, passively accepting the reality.

Wan'an Palace was directly changed to Emperor Nianping's bedroom, nominally for the sake of Emperor Nianping, and until his body recovered, he didn't need to move any more, so as to avoid accidents.But in fact, everyone who knows understands that this magnificent but old and dilapidated palace is the last resting place of Emperor Nianping in his life. He will be imprisoned in this four-cornered cage until he dies.

What made Emperor Nianping vomit blood again was the imperial decree's title of King Dai.

The new emperor is about to ascend the throne, but he is not the "overlord", but the "replacement king", the "replacement" of the "replacement".

Others would not say that His Royal Highness Wen Chen, who is about to ascend the throne, is cruel. After all, everyone knows that Wen Chen is still just a child.

This is the result of the joint discussion of the "Political King Conference", and no one can change it.

The king of politics is not the king of regents. This is the result of mutual compromise between Chi Ning and others.This meeting is mainly court discussions, and the representatives of the three parties are obviously Wang Yang from the cabinet, Chi Ning, the supervisor of ceremonies, and the Queen Mother Youqin from the Renshou Palace. Whenever there is a major event, three people are required to come to the meeting and vote with a show of hands. Not a few Obey the multi-lose model, but everyone has a veto to achieve mutual checks and balances.

For example, when dealing with Emperor Nian Ping, Chi Ning and the Queen Mother naturally chose the most ruthless way.

If it weren't for the historian's unwillingness to compromise and insisted on recording the real history, Chi Ning and the Queen Mother even wanted to erase Emperor Nian Ping and his year name together, pretending that these years never existed at all.

It's a pity that the historian is too strong, so he can only give in.

However, it is a good result to be able to follow the example of the Han Dynasty and demote the deposed emperor to a "king" instead of pinching his nose and making the other party the Supreme Emperor.

Wang Yang didn't quite agree with this, but he had other matters that Chi Ning and the queen mother needed to compromise, so he didn't veto it.

Chi Ning originally wanted to call Wen Ke a "false king", but he didn't know what agreement the Queen Mother had reached with Wang Yang, so he finally decided to use the title of "Deputy King" to save Wen Ke a little. dignity.

As for whether to kill the crippled Dai Wang, Chi Ning chose to stand in line with Wang Yang after asking the little prince Wen Chen's wishes, and saved the Dai Wang's life.After all, after Dai Wang became emperor, he didn't mean to kill Wen Chen directly. He just wanted to deprive Wen Chen of his inheritance rights. It is fair for Wen Chen to deprive him of his power now.

To be honest, watching Dai Wang, a useless man who can't survive or die, is indeed happier than killing him directly.

Among these three things, the three of them disagreed with each other, but in order to smoothly carry out the other two things they agreed with, they could only compromise and exchange their interests, and gave up their veto power.

And this is the essence of the meeting of kings discussing politics. The three of them may split up and join forces at any time and anywhere.

Regarding the issue of dealing with the acting prince and concubine, the three of them quickly reached an agreement:

All the underage children of the Dai Wang, regardless of whether they are actually related to the Dai Wang by blood, will be imprisoned in Nangong, and after they are brought up to adulthood, they will be demoted to common people, changed their surnames, and left Beijing. They will not be allowed to take the imperial examination within three generations.

Palace concubines are divided into two types of treatment. All those who participated in the palace change were put to death as an example; good death.

Empress Liu, Concubine Xian, Ji Zan, Ji Ruxue and the others were greeted with a choice between a glass of poisoned wine or a three-foot white silk.

Ji Zan kept calling Chi Ning's name until she died, insisting on talking with Chi Ning.The person guarding her was really annoying, so he blocked her mouth with a white silk cloth, and then the whole world became quiet.

"Wake up," the guard in charge taunted Ji Zan on the last night of his life, "Do you still think you are your empress? You can see whoever you want?"

Chi Ning doesn't care about what Ji Zan is going to say at all, if she wins and loses, if she herself is on the wrong team, don't blame him for being cruel.

In stark contrast to Ji Zan, Concubine Zheng, who was on the right team, chose to leave the palace with gold and silver jewelry, happily preparing to remarry.As a former imperial concubine, although Concubine Zheng was married twice, she still has a lot of suitors in Yongji's marriage market. She, who is the ultimate green tea, can happily become an old tea master again.

Before Concubine Zheng left the palace, she came to Dongchang on purpose to bid farewell to Chi Ning.

It's a pity that Chi Ning also didn't see her, whether it was Ji Zan or Concubine Zheng, Chi Ning was not interested because they were useless.No matter whether their feelings for him are hatred or gratitude, it will not affect Chi Ning in the slightest.

Concubine Zheng didn't feel that Chi Ning had to come to see her either. After hearing Chi Ning's answer that she was not free, she bowed far away outside the East Factory and left with no regrets.

With the death and departure of the imperial concubine during the period of Emperor Nianping, Dai Wang has completely become a joke in the eyes of everyone.

Chi Ning really didn't intend to save any face for Dai Wang.There is no need to wait for future generations to know how embarrassing he is through history. The people living in Daqi will soon know that this former Ninth Five-Year Supreme was almost killed by his concubines. died, but has since become a useless person.After dinner, everyone will talk about it for a long, long time.

King Jing's solution was also unanimously approved. He murdered the late emperor and forced the palace to usurp the throne. The evidence is conclusive and his crime is unforgivable. He launched Meridian Gate to behead him!

Prince Jing's son Wen Huaigu's life experience was not made public with the unanimous consent of Prince Wen Chen and Queen Mother Youqin. He descended to inherit the throne of King Jing and became the prince of the county.Chi Ning just told Wen Huaigu the past in private, hoping that he would have an idea in his heart, so that he would not be deceived by someone again because of the unequal information in the future.

After Wen Huaigu heard this, he fell seriously ill, but still insisted on taking the sickness to see King Jing off for the last time.

No matter what, he was brought up by King Jing after all. No matter how scheming King Jing did, at least he never let him down.King Jing taught him to read, provided him with food and drink, and cultivated him into a truly modest gentleman in King Jing's mind.

The last thing he could do was to come to the execution ground to see him off.

Wen Huaigu stood straight on the attic, only watching from a distance, without blinking his eyes, but he didn't dare to approach, because he didn't know how to face King Jing, so he could only choose to say goodbye silently.

While accompanying his lover, Situ Wang did not forget to remind Chi Ning: "This terrain is easy to be ambushed by people. Aren't you afraid that someone will come to rob the court?"

Chi Ning smiled, but didn't speak, because what he was looking forward to was that someone would come to rob the law field.

Sure enough, the remnants of the Tianshu Sect did not give up on King Jing, they were considered loyal, and soon they all showed up, ready to save the mad King Jing from leaving.

It's a pity that what Chi Ning is waiting for is their loyalty.

Yu Xingchui led a surprise attack, and not only beheaded King Jing as before, but also wiped out all the rebels who robbed the law field, followed the clues, and found a secret private house under the name of King Jing, and gave Lian Wo the entire Tianshu sect. It's over.The nails with problems in the palace were also caught by Mr. Yuan one by one, and all of them were put to death.

A feudal malignant tumor organization that has plagued the three dynasties has finally been uprooted today, and there is no need to worry that they will continue to spread terror among the people.

After Jiang Zhiwei consulted the materials reserved by Tianshujiao, he solved the mystery of why King Jing wanted to save eunuch Ma in the first place for Chi Ning.

Apart from the concubine who is taught by Tianshu, Eunuch Ma's own brother is also.If Jiang Zhiwei hadn't mentioned it, Chi Ning would have almost forgotten that eunuch Ma and his younger brother were known as the "two horses" in the palace, two brothers Ma Wen and Ma Wu.The older brother Ma Wen has a strong sense of presence, and the younger brother Ma Wu behaves like a fool. It is Ma Wen from Xichang who makes people feel threatened all the time.

Unexpectedly, the one who really hides the deepest is actually his younger brother Ma Wu, who is a high-ranking member of Tianshu Sect and one of King Jing's confidantes.Eunuch Ma got the help of King Jing because of his younger brother's favor.

It's a pity that with so many people protecting him, eunuch Ma still ended in a dismal end.

After Chi Ning took office, he ordered the West Factory to be abolished.In this country, the most feared secret service agency is enough to have a Dongchang.Not only did eunuch Ma lose the position of governor, but he was also dispatched by Chi Ning to "take care" of the acting king. According to Chi Ning'an's eyeliner in Wan'an Palace, ever since Eunuch Ma came, he and Wan'an Palace have been staged every day. The love and killing of Dai Wang was extremely lively.

Chi Ning will keep the eunuch Ma alive, in addition to hoping to continue to torture the Dai Wang through his hands, there is also a reason that Ma Wu ran away and his whereabouts are still unknown.Cutting the grass without eradicating the root, killing without making up the knife always makes Chi Ning feel a little flustered.

Big Brother Jiang Zhiwei accepted the task of arresting Ma Wu, he likes to do this kind of crime solving, and he is very happy.

Before the new emperor ascended the throne, the results of the official election came out first. Chi Ning's godson, Su Ren, was promoted with extremely excellent and crushing exam results.

Wang Yang was old, and the most promising candidate to join the cabinet was his young disciple Xu Gui, but Xu Gui was too young, so he had to compromise, gave Chi Ning a face, and cited Su Ren to join the cabinet.At this time, no one knew that Su Ren would also leave a record of the fastest promoted and youngest cabinet minister in history because of this, and no one would surpass it.

One month later, Xu Gui, the new female explorer, got married. He married his lover Wang Shi who had been waiting for him for many years.The two are male, talented and female, and there is no chance of any demons and ghosts to obstruct them.

Three months later, the crown prince Wenchen finally completely transformed into the new emperor Wenchen.

In front of the majestic main hall where all the officials bowed down and worshiped Long Live Shanhu, the young emperor walked step by step on the thorny road destined to be walked only by him.Sitting on the only noble dragon chair in the whole world, His Majesty's face showed no joy or anger, nor did he seem to be in the slightest nervousness. He looked like a natural ruler.This time, he finally did not drop the chain again.

Not long after the new emperor ascended the throne, he released the three most important personal "female officials" around him to go out of the palace to marry on their own.The three female officers also immediately thanked En and left without the slightest bit of reluctance.Outsiders can't understand this wave of operations, only yourself can understand.

Chi Ning took the three of them away, temporarily placed them in his private house, and asked them one by one about their future plans. No matter what it was, he could arrange it.

Just like back then, when Chi Ning promised them to be the prince's bodyguard, he fulfilled as soon as possible, this time Chi Ning will not break his promise, this is his gratitude to them for these years.

Zhu Liang Zhu the leader walked the most gracefully, and took the package that Chi Ning had prepared to leave that night.He is still dressed in women's clothes and a sword, and in the next ten years or so, there will be many legends about red-clothed heroines fighting for justice. The sudden conversion of these demon cult leaders is also unexpected.

Wu Sheng said that he wanted to go back to his hometown. He had been away from Chu for many years, and it was time to go back and see the life of the people after they moved.

"As long as you need me, I will come back anytime." Wu Sheng made a promise to Chi Ning, "I will always be your 'daughter'."

"You can just live well, don't worry about me." Chi Ning really doesn't need others to do for him now, at least he doesn't need a poison boss like Wu Sheng to do anything for him.

Li Shimei's vengeance has been avenged, and her wish has been fulfilled. After thinking about it all night, she decided to leave with Wu Sheng first, and go to Chu to have a look. Maybe she will continue to visit the great rivers and mountains of the motherland in the future: "The people waiting in Beijing have almost forgotten me. Afterwards, I will come back." In this life, Li Shimei is not lame, and he can enter the court as an official after recovering her son, and he will not give up this opportunity.

It's just that before becoming an official, he also wants to enjoy a life that is so rare that he doesn't have to use his brain.It is not easy to accompany Wen Chen in the East Palace. Li Shimei has to think hard every day, fighting wits and courage with the danger hidden in the dark, and really needs to take a good rest.

"When I come back, godfather must remember me." Li Shimei always felt that Su Ren, Xu Gui and herself were a bit incompatible, and the use of godfather Chi Ning was all in court, so he felt a sense of crisis.

The competition between godsons is also fierce and naked.

"Remember." Chi Ning promised with a smile that he would never forget any of his sons.

Xia Xia was transferred back to Dongchang, and Chi Ning intends to train him to inherit the mantle of his Dongchang factory master in the future; He Lang of the painting academy, under the order of the little emperor, can finally create without distractions, and will not be distracted by foreign objects. interference.

The old man Xu Tianci stepped back and let his two sons take over the huge business empire together.For him, there are two things in his later years: one, looking forward to when Xu Gui Wangshi will give him a great-grandson, and strive to train a champion man; two, to build a big house for Chi Ning to enjoy his old age, Just wait for Chi Ning to get tired of the court struggle, so that we can indulge in the mountains and rivers together.

Everyone gets their own happiness.

***

In the year of Jiachen, Meng Xia in June, the old man returned from afar.

Shang Er, who disappeared for less than half a year, finally got the news that he found the bones of Zhang Jingzhong and others, all of them were good.The reason why it took so long was because eunuch Zhang and the others had only a handful of dry bones left, and it was not easy to put them back together into a human form.Fortunately, Shang Er had thought of this possibility long before he left, and took away a fairy master who was good at this method from Zuo Wang Xin Zhai, and identified the bones one by one, so that everyone could be buried whole.

Shang Er led a team to help the spirit go north, a total of thirteen sandalwood coffins, and carried the heroes back to Beijing.

The emperor personally decreed to overturn the case and rectify the names of Zhang Jingzhong, Lan Jieting and others. They were not treacherous and sycophants, but they all died to protect the late emperor. They were the ones who rescued the emperor and were truly loyal ministers.

The word loyalty has never been related to their gender or disability.

Chi Ning and his two senior brothers went thirty miles to pick up their master and go home.When Zhang Jingzhong was alive, he once said that he left home when he was young, and he had no impression of Zhennan long ago. He is different from most people in the world who are looking forward to returning to their roots. He only hopes to be buried in Lihuang Mausoleum after death. In the nearest place, he continued to serve His Majesty whom he had devoted his whole life to.

After the permission from the Queen Mother and Xindi Wenchen, Chi Ning and others were able to reopen the Imperial Mausoleum, and buried Zhang Jingzhong, Lan Jieting and others beside Tianhe Emperor. There will never be anyone closer to the Imperial Tomb than this place.

The black banner is clearly visible, telling the sky.

The three brothers and sisters dressed in linen and filial piety, knelt in front of the master's spiritual tablet, and offered wine to the eunuch Zhang's spirit in heaven.

Eldest brother Jiang Zhiwei was already crying. He was always the one who was the loudest and least afraid of embarrassment.He misses him, he has grown up, he has finally entered the constitution, he has become very powerful now, he has finally become useful.

Jiang Zhiwei always knew that he was out of his mind, loved to cry and loved his family. Others hated him to death. Only the master would touch his head and say, "A person who misses his family is always good."

The second senior brother Yu Xingchui had a solemn expression, and he knelt and worshiped his master three times and nine times.

Every time I kowtow, I seem to be able to see the master standing at His Highness, telling him to hold his chest up and tell him: "It's not your fault that you have a good appearance, and it should not be your shortcoming. If you use it well, it will only become your fault." Weapons, to achieve unexpected results. If you feel inferior because you look too good, how can you let an old thing like me live?"

Even though Chi Ning was kneeling there, he straightened his back, and he said to Yuan Jun: [My master has always felt that I have no loyalty to people and things——]

[Listen to his nonsense! 】Yuan Jun has no brains.

【——I think what the old man said is quite right. ] Chi Ning finished his words.Zhang Jingzhong is very accurate in seeing people. In Chi Ning's heart, there are no emperors, nor ghosts and gods. He doesn't even know why he has such a disposition. He only knows that his thoughts are probably wrong in the eyes of the world, and they are deviant , is not allowed in the world.

However, if most people say it is wrong, it must be wrong, right?

Everyone is human, why should he bow his head to others?

He will only be loyal to himself in this life, and he will never be a slave to anyone!

Even at this moment, Chi Ning didn't think that he would be loyal to Daqi's royal family and to the little emperor Wen Chen, he just... wanted to make Master feel at ease when he left.He never said that he regards Master as his father, but he also has to admit that it is because of Master that he has the idea of ​​wanting to continue to recognize his son and start a family.

The biggest trouble in a person's life is that you think you can be cold-hearted and cold-faced, but accidents will always happen, and the fetters penetrate into life little by little.Before I knew it, I was no longer alone.

Just like many years ago, the young Chi Ning met Zhang Jingzhong.

He saw his wolf-like eyes, and also saw his unwillingness to give in, but eunuch Zhang didn't say anything, he just asked him: "Would you like to call me Master and learn some skills with me?"

Looking at the flowers in the fog, Chi Ning seemed to have become the ignorant and ignorant child who entered the palace for the first time again.

He has nothing but the instinct to live, he holds the sacred tree hidden in his sleeve nervously, obviously panicked in his heart, but on the surface he just nodded slightly.

His wood was heating up, as if sending all its strength to him, holding him up from falling.

As soon as the memory turned, it came to the night when the name was drawn by lot. The master took the note that Chi Ning had caught, and asked him with a smile: "From now on, I will be called Linlin, okay?"

He heard him reply: "Okay."

From then on, he was no longer Chi Ning who lived for himself in the south of the town. He was Chi Lin, who had a master, a senior brother, and a god to bless him.

Even in the face of wind and rain, there is no fear or fear.
