"It's you!?" Shan Chunqiu was also taken aback when he saw Ru Zun appearing, he subconsciously looked at Yin Shangpiao, why didn't such important information be reported earlier?Sheng Xiaomo waited for Ni Mantian to stand firm, and then let go of the hand around her waist: "Shan Chunqiu, you'd better leave quickly, don't make unnecessary resistance."
Shan Chunqiu looked at the Mercy Sword in Meng Xuanlang's hand unwillingly, thinking to himself that Sheng Xiaomo's kung fu might not be better than his own, anyway, Bai Zihua could still handle it without a Confucian venerable.Thinking of this, Shan Chunqiu's heart skipped a beat, and he slapped Sheng Xiaomo with a palm wind, Sheng Xiaomo swung his fan to forcefully block the palm wind back, and then Sheng Xiaomo's figure flashed, and he had already arrived in front of Shan Chunqiu, without waiting Looking back, it was already the long sword rushing towards the front door.Sheng Xiaomo and Shan Chunqiu fought together, it was the first time for Ni Mantian to see Sheng Xiaomo fight with others, she thought that Sheng Xiaomo's achievements in medicine and alchemy were good, but as for martial arts, it was not so good, let alone Compared with Bai Zihua, even Mo Yan is much stronger than him.But today Sheng Xiaomo's skill was unexpectedly good, Shan Chunqiu couldn't support it after a few strokes.
Ni Mantian was admiring Sheng Xiaomo for not revealing his true self, when he suddenly saw Shan Chunqiu jumping out of the circle and rushing towards Meng Xuanlang, it's broken!He wants to seize the life sword!Ni Mantian was busy flying up, trying to stop Shan Chunqiu, and pushed Meng Xuanlang away before Shan Chunqiu caught him. Huahua and Qingshui saw Shan Chunqiu coming to attack Meng Xuanlang, and they all came to help.Shan Chunqiu didn't want to fight with a few little girls, all his thoughts were on the mercy sword in Meng Xuanlang's hand.Therefore, Shan Chunqiu's moves became more aggressive, forcing several people to retreat again and again.All this happened in a blink of an eye, Shan Chunqiu made a false move, waiting for Ni Mantian and the others to find out that they had been deceived, Shan Chunqiu had already reached Meng Xuanlang, and raised his knife to slash at him: "Hand over the Mercy Sword! "
Qingshui looked at Shan Chunqiu's knife and thought about Meng Xuanlang's passing, it was too late, her heart was tightened, her body was no longer in control.Unexpectedly, Meng Xuancong suddenly jumped out and stood in front of his younger brother, blood spattered, and the sky felt bright red in front of his eyes. "Brother, why did you save me?" Meng Xuanlang caught his brother's crumbling body, tears streaming down his face. "I'm always your big brother. I can't watch you being bullied. In fact, it's the best. What's the point of me living in this world? It's better to die clean. If there is an afterlife, I want to stay far away from you and do it. I am a common man who lives an ordinary life every day. It is ridiculous to think about it. Since I was a child, I thought that the seat of the prince belonged to me. I studied hard and practiced martial arts seriously since I was a child. The emperor and the queen mother are proud of me and protect you, little brother." Meng Xuancong closed his eyes, supported himself with his last strength, and said slowly: "It turns out that this is all a dream, why don't you tell me the queen mother?" Truth, why give me hope, but push me off a cliff when it matters most."
"Brother, you will always be my brother. I am born with a cowardly personality and am not suitable to be an emperor. I will definitely heal your wounds. When you recover, I will give you the throne." Meng Xuanlang remembered. When he was a child, Meng Xuancong took good care of him. It is a very happy thing to have a brother who really protects him in the deep palace.
"I can't do it anymore. In fact, this is the best ending for me. I would rather die than live. Brother, you must be a good emperor! Meng Xuancong took a deep look at his brother and let out a long sigh of relief. , Close your eyes forever.
Meng Xuanlang hugged his brother's body and wept sadly, Qingshui and Hua Qiangu's eye circles were red, Qingshui couldn't help but stepped forward and said to Meng Xuanlang: "Death cannot be resurrected, Brother Meng, please mourn."
"It's really useless. If Meng Xuancong could listen to me and attack you as soon as you came in, he would be the emperor now. Hand me the Mercy Sword. With your support, you can dare to ignore the Seven Kills." Shan Chunqiu scoffed at Meng Xuancong's death, in his opinion Meng Xuancong was too indecisive, refused to cherish a good opportunity, and sent a foolish person to protect that stupid king? !How stupid.
"Shan Chunqiu, you have violated the rules of heaven by intervening in the human world without authorization, and you have violated the rules of heaven. Ha, you want to seize the artifact!" Following Bai Zihua's cold voice like broken jade, Changliu Shangxian Bai Zihua floated down in white, and others still Forget it, when Huahua saw her master's face beaming with joy, she happily called out, "Master, you're here!"
Bai Zihua came, and the situation was reversed in an instant. The seven-kill demon soldiers present couldn't help but take a few steps back. Shan Chunqiu's face became gloomy. If only Sheng Xiaomo was present, he still had a certain chance of winning, but Bai Zihua came , he can only admit defeat. "Bai Zihua, you really are the most hypocritical and duplicity person in the world. You talk about big things all day long, and you came to the Shu Kingdom yourself? You sent your disciples to snatch the Mercy Sword and failed, so you did it yourself Already? Today I must win the Mercy Sword!"
Bai Zihua glanced at Shan Chunqiu pityingly, this man's heart has been controlled by the obsession to seize the artifact: "You are full of obsession, and you won't listen to my words. But today you won't be able to get the Mercy Sword. Today I will let you off for the time being, but you must know that next time I will not be merciful. Go back and tell Sha Qianmo not to start a fight in the fairy world again." If you can't beat him, you can only admit cowardice, Shan Chunqiu watched as he took over If it's not cheap, he can only leave with his subordinates bitterly.Before leaving, Shan Chunqiu gave Ni Mantian and Hua Qiangu a hard look, as if he wanted to say something, but looking at Bai Zihua who looked sour, he could only swallow the words that came to his lips.
When everything was settled, Bai Zihua looked at Meng Xuanlang who was holding his brother's body and sighed slightly: "Life is a matter of life and death, your brother hopes that you will be a promising king, and hope that you can reform your mistakes and don't neglect government affairs. Heaven indulges in having fun, causing the people under its rule to suffer." Meng Xuanlang respected Bai Zihua, and gradually stopped crying after listening to His Majesty's words.He stood up holding the Mercy Sword and said to Bai Zihua: "The Mercy Sword is a divine object. I am cowardly by nature and I really can't bear the task. Seven kills have already set their sights on the Mercy Sword. I'm afraid it's still in my hand." , They will not let it go. For the safety of the artifact, please keep it as best as possible. As for the words that your lord told me to work hard, I am in a mess right now. I don’t have the mood and time to think about it. I think about it and wait. Once everything settles down, I will abdicate the throne and ignore worldly affairs!"
What?The people present were all taken aback, how could there be an emperor who asked himself not to do it.Qingshui was busy tugging at Meng Xuanlang's sleeve: "Brother Meng, you are grieving over what happened to King Ming. His greatest wish before he died was that you would be a good emperor, how could you disappoint his hope. "But now I'm in such a mess, I don't even know what to do next!" Meng Xuanlang said that he was completely at a loss, and had no way of dealing with the messy government.
Huahua suddenly said to Meng Xuanlang: "You can ask Tiantian to help you, she is the most capable, and she can handle many trivial matters in an orderly manner. Tiantian said that she used to help Nizhang when she was in Penglai. The door is in charge of Penglai's affairs. Why don't you ask Tiantian to help you sort things out."
Hearing Hua Qiangu's words, Meng Xuanlang's eyes lit up like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw. He walked up to Mantian and clasped his hands together and begged, "Mantian, please. It’s a mess, and nothing can calm down.”
Is it really good for her, a cultivator, to meddle in the government affairs of Shu Kingdom?Ni Mantian ran out of ideas, she looked at Bai Zihua and Sheng Xiaomo for help.Unexpectedly, Bai Zihua didn't know where to go at this time, only Sheng Xiaomo stood not far away and looked at her with a smile. When he received Ni Mantian's eyes asking for help, Sheng Xiaomo blinked and swayed. The fan said: "I don't even care about the daily chores of Changliu, and I don't know anything about governing the country. But since Meng Xuanlang is begging you, since you are also from the same school, you can help him with some advice." One or two is also good. Immortal cultivators must have kind thoughts in their hearts, and if your efforts make life easier for the people of the Kingdom of Shu, that is also a good thing."
Luo Shiyi immediately echoed Ru Zun's words: "Master also praised Junior Sister Mantian, saying that she is meticulous and not afraid of hard work, and that she will ask Junior Sister to help me take care of the daily affairs of Changliu after returning from the experience. Since it is His Majesty Please, you can just practice it in advance."
Ni Mantian heard Sheng Xiaomo and Luo Shiyi let go, she pondered for a while and then nodded: "Since Ru Zun and senior brother said so, I can only reluctantly give it a try. But let me make it clear in advance, I am I have no experience in handling government affairs, and I still need His Majesty to make the final decision. Also, since Your Majesty asked me to help raise some points, I ask Your Majesty to take care of me if I am right or not."
Meng Xuanlang nodded again and again: "Okay, I will follow your orders."
Seeing that Meng Xuanlang agreed, Ni Mantian said to Meng Xuanlang with a serious expression: "Your Majesty is the king of a country, you should not leave the palace so easily, and I ask General Lie to protect your majesty back to the palace immediately. We must strengthen our defenses in the palace today. Although King Ming is already dead, there is no guarantee that there will be no remaining crimes, and he still wants to fight to the death—Scholar of the East, since you are here, you should take up the responsibility of a courtier and immediately draft an imperial edict. King Ming has a noble status, is loyal, and will serve the emperor wholeheartedly , is the most virtuous king in the world throughout the ages. It is a pity that there is no holiday, overworked and sick, and he died early in his prime. The funeral is held with the ceremony of a prince, and all officials express their condolences. The emperor is too sad to lose his brother. He stopped court for three days. You are called the Ministry of Rites Draw up the posthumous title of King Ming, and send it to the emperor for decision tomorrow morning. And immediately call the prime minister and the cabinet into the palace." Ni Mantian looked at Dongfang who had arrived late and was not polite at all, and directly asked Dongfang to be in charge of King Ming. funeral.
The people present all looked at Ni Mantian in astonishment, none of them thought that a girl in Mantian could downplay a palace tragedy in the snap of a finger.King Ming's life experience was too embarrassing, if King Yu found out that there was such a son, he would definitely come to the capital to turn against the emperor.And it is best not to make the royal ciphertext public.With Ni Mantian's handling, the face of King Ming and the Empress Dowager was saved, even if King Yu knew about it, he would have no reason to make trouble.
Dongfang stood there with a pale face in a daze for a while, as if he didn't know Ni Mantian, he stared at her for a while, and finally bowed deeply to the emperor and Ni Mantian and said in a low voice: "Mr. Purpose."
Back in the palace, Qingshui went with Meng Xuanlang, someone would inform Dongfang Yuqing and the five cabinet ministers to ask to see the emperor.Ni Mantian thought about it, and said to the servant: "Tell them to go to the imperial study to wait for the order, and I will go to see your majesty." After all, she is helping a lot, so Meng Xuanlang should say it himself.
Unexpectedly, the emperor's servant came back after a while, followed by Qing Shui with a troubled face.Seeing Mantian Qingshui, he said helplessly: "Tiantian, brother Lang knelt in front of the queen mother's coffin and said to be quiet for a while. He drove me out and told me to tell you that you can deal with the government affairs as you like. ask him."
Ni Mantian was stunned for a while listening to Qing Shui's words, and then squeezed out a sentence: "He still really trusts me, and doesn't worry that I will ruin his society."
Qingshui also had black lines on his face, and he said helplessly, "Maybe Brother Lang really believes in us." Ni Mantian looked at Qingshui: "I'll help him once for your sake, and you'll be fine too in the future." I can be a peace queen with peace of mind."
Qingshui blushed slightly, and said to Ni Mantian angrily: "Don't say it, be careful not to be overheard."
In the imperial study room, Dongfang Yuqing stood there silently, not knowing what he was thinking, Prime Minister Wang Changhe approached and said in a low voice: "Why did King Ming pass away suddenly, University scholar, you are by His Majesty's side every day, Is there any news? We are ministers in the same palace, you can't just ignore death."
Dongfang was interrupted from his thoughts, he came back to his senses and smiled reluctantly at the prime minister: "Prime Minister is the purple golden beam of our Shu Kingdom, what can I know. Your Majesty—" Before waiting for Dongfang to finish speaking, he Hearing the servant come out: "Your Majesty is here." Dongfang Yuqing and the ministers of the cabinet knelt on the ground and shouted long live.Meng Xuanlang's voice came through the curtain, "Get up. The posthumous title of King Ming has been drawn up? I called you here tonight to explain the funeral of the king."
Hearing the emperor's cry, all the ministers present thanked En for getting up. Only Dongfang had a special look on his face. He took a deep look at the lowered curtain and probably knew who was behind it. "Please have a look at the posthumous title drawn up by the Ministry of Rites." Dongfang immediately took out the posthumous title drawn up by the Ministry of Rites and handed it over, and the internal supervisor immediately took it and sent it to Ni Mantian behind the curtain.Meng Xuanlang is still grieving in front of the Empress Dowager, how can he have the mood to deal with the government affairs?Ni Mantian changed Meng Xuanlang's voice to handle government affairs for him. King Ming is dead, but his henchmen are still there. At this time, the one who strikes first will have the upper hand. If he sits and waits to die, time will be wasted and he will be pissed off by King Ming's henchmen. , Another storm.
The posthumous titles drafted by the Ministry of Rites are full of beautiful words, what kind of literature, martial arts, what? Ni Mantian looked at those posthumous titles with a sneer on her lips. She didn't look at Dongfang and only asked Prime Minister Wang Changhe: "Prime Minister sees King Ming's How about a posthumous title?" She threw the piece of paper on the ground as she spoke.The little servant immediately brought it to the prime minister, but the prime minister dared not speak after only one glance. In fact, it was not a secret that King Ming coveted the throne, and Wang Changhe naturally knew it well.The news of King Ming's sudden death came suddenly tonight, and when he was called into the palace to see the emperor's bad tone, the Prime Minister knew that the matter of King Ming must have been brought to light.The Ministry of Rites also proposed these glamorous posthumous titles. It is not known whether the Ministry of Rites intends to fight the emperor, or who is putting the emperor in trouble.
"Your Majesty, I think that King Ming is young and has not made much achievements in government affairs. Although these posthumous titles are good, they feel that they are not worthy of the name. It seems that the officials of the Ministry of Rites did not figure out what they wanted. Your Majesty and King Ming are brothers. If you want to die for the prince Empress Ai Rong can bestow grace at the funeral, and choose another posthumous title that is just right." The prime minister said that the sweat on his brow came out, and Wang Changhe kept muttering in his heart, he never saw the emperor's oppression like this every day. feel.What happened today?
A sneer came from behind the curtain: "Okay, what a mediating prime minister. You know what King Ming is like in your heart, but you are here telling me these nonsense nonsense! If I die today in Ming I'm afraid that yours is already congratulating the new king in the palace. Since you became the prime minister, you have cooked vegetarian meals, and you can't fulfill your responsibilities as a minister. I think you also think that I am not worthy of being the emperor. I hope to change someone soon. Come and do it!"
The emperor suddenly lost his temper, and all the people present were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the above.Ni Mantian looked at the group of people below through the curtain, and continued with a blank expression: "You are all well-read poems and books, and have received the grace of the late emperor. I am young and ignorant of world affairs, but I respect you very much. How did you entrust them to you when you collapsed, but you have no loyalty to the emperor and only think about how to keep your own glory and wealth. After you die, what face will you have to see the first emperor, and what face will you have to see your ancestors?"
All the words in the sky were full of heart-wrenching words. The faces of the prime minister and the cabinet ministers were all red and white. Forgive selfish thoughts" Please forgive me, Your Majesty. "
Seeing that the heat was almost ready, Mantian began to close the net. Her tone changed and became gentle: "I think I am the real loner. This emperor is the most difficult job in the world. I used to do little things, and you can't do your best. The rebellion of King Ming is a warning from heaven. Now that I have decided to change my past, you are willing to change your mind. Naturally, I will still take you as ministers of the humerus. If you think that I cannot be a good emperor, go to heaven Please resign and go home to recuperate."
When the people below heard the emperor's tone eased, they felt a little more at ease. It seemed that the emperor had come to his senses.The ministers kowtowed together and vowed to follow the emperor faithfully in the future.The emperor wants to be a wise king, and they want to be famous ministers.Hearing the determination of the people below, Ni Mantian heaved a sigh of relief, controlled the officials, and Meng Xuanlang's throne was secure.It's just that everyone has expressed their determination, only Dongfang Yuqing is still standing there silently, it seems that he knows that the person behind the curtain is not the emperor.
"Bachelor Dongfang, do you have anything else to do?" Ni Mantian didn't force Dongfang to express his opinion, but seemed to drive him out. "I'm waiting for His Majesty to give King Ming a posthumous title." Dongfang had a submissive face, but his tone was subtle and teasing.You are not the emperor, why should I be loyal to you, what kind of person is my Immortal Pavilion Master, how can I humble myself to you?
"Prince Ming's posthumous title will be fixed, you can go down." Ni Mantian sent Dongfang out without any politeness.All the ministers present saw that the emperor's attitude towards Dongfang had changed drastically. It seemed that the days when the Eastern Grand Masters could cover the sky with one hand were gone forever.Dongfang was very depressed by Ni Mantian, but he couldn't turn his face in front of these people, he knew that Bai Zihua was in Shu.She couldn't be fooled by Ni Mantian, she deliberately wanted to irritate herself and make herself reveal her true identity.Then Bai Zihua would know that everything was planned by him.At present, Dongfang can only swallow this breath silently.
Seeing Dongfang's figure disappear, Mantian smiled, even if Dongfang swallowed his anger, it was useless, Bai Zihua should be able to see the suspicious point in Dongfang. "My dear friends, I have decided to work hard. This is the drafted ten things about agriculture and mulberry, with the aim of reducing the corvee and paying less money, what do you think-" Ni Mantian asked the little servant to take out the rectification policy she had drawn up.
After waiting for those ministers to leave, Ni Mancai stretched out from behind the curtain, sitting there was too uncomfortable, no wonder that brat Meng Xuanlang neglected government affairs all day long.When she looked up, she saw Shuofeng looking at her with disapproval on her face: "You are asking for guilt, everything has a destiny, no matter how hard you try, I don't think Meng Xuanlang is a material to be a wise king. Waiting for you If you leave, Meng Xuanlang may not be able to follow your thinking. You must be tired." Shuofeng gave Ni Mantian a hard look, and stretched out his hand to help her pinch her shoulders.
"Don't tell me that the world is not benevolent. I can't just watch the Shu country fall into civil strife. Don't stand idly by. Although the world is not benevolent, there is still true love in the world. Are you unhappy?" Ni Mantian was sensitive She realized that Shuofeng didn't agree with taking her down.
"I think it's better for you to cultivate immortality with peace of mind. Intrigue in the court is not suitable for you. We are all immortal cultivators. Don't be distracted by those mundane things, let alone be contaminated by the desire to compete for power and gain fame." Shuo Feng actually came here a long time ago. Now, he has been silently looking at Mantian, who is fighting with the officials, and Ni Mantian, who angrily reprimands the officials and plays with them, Shuofeng always feels strange.The sky in his heart is not like this.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, why didn't you wear the clothes I mended for you!" Ni Mantian immediately changed the subject, asking about the clothes she mended for Shuo Feng.
"Your craftsmanship, how dare I wear it out. They all know your craftsmanship, and you must be the one who will be laughed at next." Shuofeng rubbed her head, expressing helplessly that the craftsmanship is too poor, and it really needs to be worn out. Have some courage.
"I don't care, you have to wear it anyway, and you have to wear it outside!" Ni Mantian turned back into a coquettish girl in a second, grabbed Shuo Feng's arm and started flirting.
"Okay, I'm fine, as long as you can stand up to their jokes." In fact, in Shuo Feng's eyes, even the ugly clothes are repaired by Man Tian himself, but is she sure she can stand up to Huo Xi's jokes?Mantian is not the same as other girls.She is not as virtuous and gentle as Qingshui, nor as naive as Hua Qiangu, she is like a diamond with countless reflections, with countless faces.
"What are you still doing here? Shan Chunqiu sneaked into the palace trying to steal the Mercy Sword and was discovered by Qiangu. She was injured!" Sheng Xiaomo hurried over, looking dissatisfied at Ni Mantian holding Shuofeng's hand.
Huahua is injured!Ni Mantian is busy rushing over with Shuo Feng.Hua Qiangu was seriously injured, Bai Zihua decided to take them back to Changliu immediately.However, Qingshui stood up at this time and said to the lord that she had a real affection for Meng Xuanlang and did not want to go back to Changliu.She hoped to stay with Meng Xuanlang.Listening to Qingshui's request, Bai Zihua unexpectedly agreed. Before Ni Mantian left, she finally used the power Meng Xuanlang gave her, and sent a minister to Zhou State to propose marriage to the emperor of Zhou State, expressing that she would marry Qingshui. Water is queen.
Leaving aside how Bai Zihua healed Hua Qiangu's injury, Ni Mantian went to the Greedy Hall to meet her master Mo Yan as soon as she returned to Changliu, only to find that her father was also in the Greedy Hall.Seeing her daughter came back, Ni Qianzhang immediately said: "Did you get mixed up with a kid named Shuofeng? I will never agree. You'd better break it off with me. Your marriage is my responsibility." Make your own arrangements!"
"My affairs are up to me, so I will not be separated from Shuofeng. I want to marry him, if you force me again, I will elope with Shuofeng right now!" Rough, also hit back in the same way.
Shan Chunqiu looked at the Mercy Sword in Meng Xuanlang's hand unwillingly, thinking to himself that Sheng Xiaomo's kung fu might not be better than his own, anyway, Bai Zihua could still handle it without a Confucian venerable.Thinking of this, Shan Chunqiu's heart skipped a beat, and he slapped Sheng Xiaomo with a palm wind, Sheng Xiaomo swung his fan to forcefully block the palm wind back, and then Sheng Xiaomo's figure flashed, and he had already arrived in front of Shan Chunqiu, without waiting Looking back, it was already the long sword rushing towards the front door.Sheng Xiaomo and Shan Chunqiu fought together, it was the first time for Ni Mantian to see Sheng Xiaomo fight with others, she thought that Sheng Xiaomo's achievements in medicine and alchemy were good, but as for martial arts, it was not so good, let alone Compared with Bai Zihua, even Mo Yan is much stronger than him.But today Sheng Xiaomo's skill was unexpectedly good, Shan Chunqiu couldn't support it after a few strokes.
Ni Mantian was admiring Sheng Xiaomo for not revealing his true self, when he suddenly saw Shan Chunqiu jumping out of the circle and rushing towards Meng Xuanlang, it's broken!He wants to seize the life sword!Ni Mantian was busy flying up, trying to stop Shan Chunqiu, and pushed Meng Xuanlang away before Shan Chunqiu caught him. Huahua and Qingshui saw Shan Chunqiu coming to attack Meng Xuanlang, and they all came to help.Shan Chunqiu didn't want to fight with a few little girls, all his thoughts were on the mercy sword in Meng Xuanlang's hand.Therefore, Shan Chunqiu's moves became more aggressive, forcing several people to retreat again and again.All this happened in a blink of an eye, Shan Chunqiu made a false move, waiting for Ni Mantian and the others to find out that they had been deceived, Shan Chunqiu had already reached Meng Xuanlang, and raised his knife to slash at him: "Hand over the Mercy Sword! "
Qingshui looked at Shan Chunqiu's knife and thought about Meng Xuanlang's passing, it was too late, her heart was tightened, her body was no longer in control.Unexpectedly, Meng Xuancong suddenly jumped out and stood in front of his younger brother, blood spattered, and the sky felt bright red in front of his eyes. "Brother, why did you save me?" Meng Xuanlang caught his brother's crumbling body, tears streaming down his face. "I'm always your big brother. I can't watch you being bullied. In fact, it's the best. What's the point of me living in this world? It's better to die clean. If there is an afterlife, I want to stay far away from you and do it.

Hearing Hua Qiangu's words, Meng Xuanlang's eyes lit up like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw. He walked up to Mantian and clasped his hands together and begged, "Mantian, please. It’s a mess, and nothing can calm down.”
Is it really good for her, a cultivator, to meddle in the government affairs of Shu Kingdom?Ni Mantian ran out of ideas, she looked at Bai Zihua and Sheng Xiaomo for help.Unexpectedly, Bai Zihua didn't know where to go at this time, only Sheng Xiaomo stood not far away and looked at her with a smile. When he received Ni Mantian's eyes asking for help, Sheng Xiaomo blinked and swayed. The fan said: "I don't even care about the daily chores of Changliu, and I don't know anything about governing the country. But since Meng Xuanlang is begging you, since you are also from the same school, you can help him with some advice." One or two is also good. Immortal cultivators must have kind thoughts in their hearts, and if your efforts make life easier for the people of the Kingdom of Shu, that is also a good thing."
Luo Shiyi immediately echoed Ru Zun's words: "Master also praised Junior Sister Mantian, saying that she is meticulous and not afraid of hard work, and that she will ask Junior Sister to help me take care of the daily affairs of Changliu after returning from the experience. Since it is His Majesty Please, you can just practice it in advance."
Ni Mantian heard Sheng Xiaomo and Luo Shiyi let go, she pondered for a while and then nodded: "Since Ru Zun and senior brother said so, I can only reluctantly give it a try. But let me make it clear in advance, I am I have no experience in handling government affairs, and I still need His Majesty to make the final decision. Also, since Your Majesty asked me to help raise some points, I ask Your Majesty to take care of me if I am right or not."
Meng Xuanlang nodded again and again: "Okay, I will follow your orders."
Seeing that Meng Xuanlang agreed, Ni Mantian said to Meng Xuanlang with a serious expression: "Your Majesty is the king of a country, you should not leave the palace so easily, and I ask General Lie to protect your majesty back to the palace immediately. We must strengthen our defenses in the palace today. Although King Ming is already dead, there is no guarantee that there will be no remaining crimes, and he still wants to fight to the death—Scholar of the East, since you are here, you should take up the responsibility of a courtier and immediately draft an imperial edict. King Ming has a noble status, is loyal, and will serve the emperor wholeheartedly , is the most virtuous king in the world throughout the ages. It is a pity that there is no holiday, overworked and sick, and he died early in his prime. The funeral is held with the ceremony of a prince, and all officials express their condolences. The emperor is too sad to lose his brother. He stopped court for three days. You are called the Ministry of Rites Draw up the posthumous title of King Ming, and send it to the emperor for decision tomorrow morning. And immediately call the prime minister and the cabinet into the palace." Ni Mantian looked at Dongfang who had arrived late and was not polite at all, and directly asked Dongfang to be in charge of King Ming. funeral.
The people present all looked at Ni Mantian in astonishment, none of them thought that a girl in Mantian could downplay a palace tragedy in the snap of a finger.King Ming's life experience was too embarrassing, if King Yu found out that there was such a son, he would definitely come to the capital to turn against the emperor.And it is best not to make the royal ciphertext public.With Ni Mantian's handling, the face of King Ming and the Empress Dowager was saved, even if King Yu knew about it, he would have no reason to make trouble.
Dongfang stood there with a pale face in a daze for a while, as if he didn't know Ni Mantian, he stared at her for a while, and finally bowed deeply to the emperor and Ni Mantian and said in a low voice: "Mr. Purpose."
Back in the palace, Qingshui went with Meng Xuanlang, someone would inform Dongfang Yuqing and the five cabinet ministers to ask to see the emperor.Ni Mantian thought about it, and said to the servant: "Tell them to go to the imperial study to wait for the order, and I will go to see your majesty." After all, she is helping a lot, so Meng Xuanlang should say it himself.
Unexpectedly, the emperor's servant came back after a while, followed by Qing Shui with a troubled face.Seeing Mantian Qingshui, he said helplessly: "Tiantian, brother Lang knelt in front of the queen mother's coffin and said to be quiet for a while. He drove me out and told me to tell you that you can deal with the government affairs as you like. ask him."
Ni Mantian was stunned for a while listening to Qing Shui's words, and then squeezed out a sentence: "He still really trusts me, and doesn't worry that I will ruin his society."
Qingshui also had black lines on his face, and he said helplessly, "Maybe Brother Lang really believes in us." Ni Mantian looked at Qingshui: "I'll help him once for your sake, and you'll be fine too in the future." I can be a peace queen with peace of mind."
Qingshui blushed slightly, and said to Ni Mantian angrily: "Don't say it, be careful not to be overheard."
In the imperial study room, Dongfang Yuqing stood there silently, not knowing what he was thinking, Prime Minister Wang Changhe approached and said in a low voice: "Why did King Ming pass away suddenly, University scholar, you are by His Majesty's side every day, Is there any news? We are ministers in the same palace, you can't just ignore death."
Dongfang was interrupted from his thoughts, he came back to his senses and smiled reluctantly at the prime minister: "Prime Minister is the purple golden beam of our Shu Kingdom, what can I know. Your Majesty—" Before waiting for Dongfang to finish speaking, he Hearing the servant come out: "Your Majesty is here." Dongfang Yuqing and the ministers of the cabinet knelt on the ground and shouted long live.Meng Xuanlang's voice came through the curtain, "Get up. The posthumous title of King Ming has been drawn up? I called you here tonight to explain the funeral of the king."
Hearing the emperor's cry, all the ministers present thanked En for getting up. Only Dongfang had a special look on his face. He took a deep look at the lowered curtain and probably knew who was behind it. "Please have a look at the posthumous title drawn up by the Ministry of Rites." Dongfang immediately took out the posthumous title drawn up by the Ministry of Rites and handed it over, and the internal supervisor immediately took it and sent it to Ni Mantian behind the curtain.Meng Xuanlang is still grieving in front of the Empress Dowager, how can he have the mood to deal with the government affairs?Ni Mantian changed Meng Xuanlang's voice to handle government affairs for him. King Ming is dead, but his henchmen are still there. At this time, the one who strikes first will have the upper hand. If he sits and waits to die, time will be wasted and he will be pissed off by King Ming's henchmen. , Another storm.
The posthumous titles drafted by the Ministry of Rites are full of beautiful words, what kind of literature, martial arts, what? Ni Mantian looked at those posthumous titles with a sneer on her lips. She didn't look at Dongfang and only asked Prime Minister Wang Changhe: "Prime Minister sees King Ming's How about a posthumous title?" She threw the piece of paper on the ground as she spoke.The little servant immediately brought it to the prime minister, but the prime minister dared not speak after only one glance. In fact, it was not a secret that King Ming coveted the throne, and Wang Changhe naturally knew it well.The news of King Ming's sudden death came suddenly tonight, and when he was called into the palace to see the emperor's bad tone, the Prime Minister knew that the matter of King Ming must have been brought to light.The Ministry of Rites also proposed these glamorous posthumous titles. It is not known whether the Ministry of Rites intends to fight the emperor, or who is putting the emperor in trouble.
"Your Majesty, I think that King Ming is young and has not made much achievements in government affairs. Although these posthumous titles are good, they feel that they are not worthy of the name. It seems that the officials of the Ministry of Rites did not figure out what they wanted. Your Majesty and King Ming are brothers. If you want to die for the prince Empress Ai Rong can bestow grace at the funeral, and choose another posthumous title that is just right." The prime minister said that the sweat on his brow came out, and Wang Changhe kept muttering in his heart, he never saw the emperor's oppression like this every day. feel.What happened today?
A sneer came from behind the curtain: "Okay, what a mediating prime minister. You know what King Ming is like in your heart, but you are here telling me these nonsense nonsense! If I die today in Ming I'm afraid that yours is already congratulating the new king in the palace. Since you became the prime minister, you have cooked vegetarian meals, and you can't fulfill your responsibilities as a minister. I think you also think that I am not worthy of being the emperor. I hope to change someone soon. Come and do it!"
The emperor suddenly lost his temper, and all the people present were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the above.Ni Mantian looked at the group of people below through the curtain, and continued with a blank expression: "You are all well-read poems and books, and have received the grace of the late emperor. I am young and ignorant of world affairs, but I respect you very much. How did you entrust them to you when you collapsed, but you have no loyalty to the emperor and only think about how to keep your own glory and wealth. After you die, what face will you have to see the first emperor, and what face will you have to see your ancestors?"
All the words in the sky were full of heart-wrenching words. The faces of the prime minister and the cabinet ministers were all red and white. Forgive selfish thoughts" Please forgive me, Your Majesty. "
Seeing that the heat was almost ready, Mantian began to close the net. Her tone changed and became gentle: "I think I am the real loner. This emperor is the most difficult job in the world. I used to do little things, and you can't do your best. The rebellion of King Ming is a warning from heaven. Now that I have decided to change my past, you are willing to change your mind. Naturally, I will still take you as ministers of the humerus. If you think that I cannot be a good emperor, go to heaven Please resign and go home to recuperate."
When the people below heard the emperor's tone eased, they felt a little more at ease. It seemed that the emperor had come to his senses.The ministers kowtowed together and vowed to follow the emperor faithfully in the future.The emperor wants to be a wise king, and they want to be famous ministers.Hearing the determination of the people below, Ni Mantian heaved a sigh of relief, controlled the officials, and Meng Xuanlang's throne was secure.It's just that everyone has expressed their determination, only Dongfang Yuqing is still standing there silently, it seems that he knows that the person behind the curtain is not the emperor.
"Bachelor Dongfang, do you have anything else to do?" Ni Mantian didn't force Dongfang to express his opinion, but seemed to drive him out. "I'm waiting for His Majesty to give King Ming a posthumous title." Dongfang had a submissive face, but his tone was subtle and teasing.You are not the emperor, why should I be loyal to you, what kind of person is my Immortal Pavilion Master, how can I humble myself to you?
"Prince Ming's posthumous title will be fixed, you can go down." Ni Mantian sent Dongfang out without any politeness.All the ministers present saw that the emperor's attitude towards Dongfang had changed drastically. It seemed that the days when the Eastern Grand Masters could cover the sky with one hand were gone forever.Dongfang was very depressed by Ni Mantian, but he couldn't turn his face in front of these people, he knew that Bai Zihua was in Shu.She couldn't be fooled by Ni Mantian, she deliberately wanted to irritate herself and make herself reveal her true identity.Then Bai Zihua would know that everything was planned by him.At present, Dongfang can only swallow this breath silently.
Seeing Dongfang's figure disappear, Mantian smiled, even if Dongfang swallowed his anger, it was useless, Bai Zihua should be able to see the suspicious point in Dongfang. "My dear friends, I have decided to work hard. This is the drafted ten things about agriculture and mulberry, with the aim of reducing the corvee and paying less money, what do you think-" Ni Mantian asked the little servant to take out the rectification policy she had drawn up.
After waiting for those ministers to leave, Ni Mancai stretched out from behind the curtain, sitting there was too uncomfortable, no wonder that brat Meng Xuanlang neglected government affairs all day long.When she looked up, she saw Shuofeng looking at her with disapproval on her face: "You are asking for guilt, everything has a destiny, no matter how hard you try, I don't think Meng Xuanlang is a material to be a wise king. Waiting for you If you leave, Meng Xuanlang may not be able to follow your thinking. You must be tired." Shuofeng gave Ni Mantian a hard look, and stretched out his hand to help her pinch her shoulders.
"Don't tell me that the world is not benevolent. I can't just watch the Shu country fall into civil strife. Don't stand idly by. Although the world is not benevolent, there is still true love in the world. Are you unhappy?" Ni Mantian was sensitive She realized that Shuofeng didn't agree with taking her down.
"I think it's better for you to cultivate immortality with peace of mind. Intrigue in the court is not suitable for you. We are all immortal cultivators. Don't be distracted by those mundane things, let alone be contaminated by the desire to compete for power and gain fame." Shuo Feng actually came here a long time ago. Now, he has been silently looking at Mantian, who is fighting with the officials, and Ni Mantian, who angrily reprimands the officials and plays with them, Shuofeng always feels strange.The sky in his heart is not like this.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, why didn't you wear the clothes I mended for you!" Ni Mantian immediately changed the subject, asking about the clothes she mended for Shuo Feng.
"Your craftsmanship, how dare I wear it out. They all know your craftsmanship, and you must be the one who will be laughed at next." Shuofeng rubbed her head, expressing helplessly that the craftsmanship is too poor, and it really needs to be worn out. Have some courage.
"I don't care, you have to wear it anyway, and you have to wear it outside!" Ni Mantian turned back into a coquettish girl in a second, grabbed Shuo Feng's arm and started flirting.
"Okay, I'm fine, as long as you can stand up to their jokes." In fact, in Shuo Feng's eyes, even the ugly clothes are repaired by Man Tian himself, but is she sure she can stand up to Huo Xi's jokes?Mantian is not the same as other girls.She is not as virtuous and gentle as Qingshui, nor as naive as Hua Qiangu, she is like a diamond with countless reflections, with countless faces.
"What are you still doing here? Shan Chunqiu sneaked into the palace trying to steal the Mercy Sword and was discovered by Qiangu. She was injured!" Sheng Xiaomo hurried over, looking dissatisfied at Ni Mantian holding Shuofeng's hand.
Huahua is injured!Ni Mantian is busy rushing over with Shuo Feng.Hua Qiangu was seriously injured, Bai Zihua decided to take them back to Changliu immediately.However, Qingshui stood up at this time and said to the lord that she had a real affection for Meng Xuanlang and did not want to go back to Changliu.She hoped to stay with Meng Xuanlang.Listening to Qingshui's request, Bai Zihua unexpectedly agreed. Before Ni Mantian left, she finally used the power Meng Xuanlang gave her, and sent a minister to Zhou State to propose marriage to the emperor of Zhou State, expressing that she would marry Qingshui. Water is queen.
Leaving aside how Bai Zihua healed Hua Qiangu's injury, Ni Mantian went to the Greedy Hall to meet her master Mo Yan as soon as she returned to Changliu, only to find that her father was also in the Greedy Hall.Seeing her daughter came back, Ni Qianzhang immediately said: "Did you get mixed up with a kid named Shuofeng? I will never agree. You'd better break it off with me. Your marriage is my responsibility." Make your own arrangements!"
"My affairs are up to me, so I will not be separated from Shuofeng. I want to marry him, if you force me again, I will elope with Shuofeng right now!" Rough, also hit back in the same way.
