(Congratulations to Lawyer Yu for becoming the new leader of this book. I'm very grateful. Please vote for me.)
"How did he behave along the way?" Monarch Ning Yuanxian asked.
The eunuch said, "Ostentatiously and unscrupulously."
The Monarch didn't say anything. Sixth Prince Ning Jing said, "How so?"
The eunuch said, "He is only a small son-in-law, but his extravagance is comparable to that of a high-ranking military official. He has more than a hundred cavalrymen as his bodyguards. Moreover, when he stays at the official inn in each county, he must book the best courtyard. If there's an official below the rank of governor living in that courtyard, he'll send troops to expel them. "
This was indeed arrogant.
Even a true noble heir wouldn't dare to do this.
Especially the noble heirs of the old noble families, each of them was more low-key than the last.
The eunuch said, "When we entered the capital, I took a look at his expression to see if he was shocked by the world's strong cities. He pursed his lips as if he was looking down on us."
Sixth Prince Ning Jing, who was at the side, said, "Our Yue Du is filled with heavenly treasures. It's grand and magnificent. Even ordinary aristocrats would be intimidated by it, yet he, a mere country bumpkin, actually looks down on us. It's really interesting.
Monarch Ning Yuanxian didn't say anything.
The eunuch continued, "I purposely brought him to the Xuanwu Gate, but he looked up and said," Oh, I'm home now. Oh, I'm home now. Your Majesty, this brat is insolent. How dare he say that the Xuanwu Gate is his home. He's disloyal. "
The Monarch's face twitched slightly.
He cursed at his ancestor in his heart. How could Xuanwu be given a title so casually?
Look at other countries. Which one of them has Xuanwu as a title?
Why don't you call him Earl Green Dragon? But the first Monarch was a martial artist. He didn't study much and was very overbearing. He couldn't tolerate opposing opinions, but he got along well with the first Xuanwu. What could he do?
The subsequent generations of Monarch couldn't change his title even if they wanted to.
The eunuch said, "What's more infuriating is yet to come. We met Her Highness the Third Princess on Xuanwu Avenue."
The First Princess, Ning Luo, was twenty-eight years old this year. She was married to the King Of The Southern Kingdom, Prince Jin.
The second princess, Ning Han, was twenty-six years old this year. She was known as the number one beauty of the State of Yue almost ten years ago. However, he had already disappeared from everyone's sight, and no one knew where he went.
Of course, as mentioned earlier, she followed the Master of the Heavenly Sea Sea Pavilion and resigned from overseas.
The princess's fiancé had undergone a drastic change and had yet to marry. This was also a pain in the Monarch's heart. Ning Han was his most beloved daughter.
The third princess, Ning Yan, was 24 years old this year and was already married.
However, her temperament was violent, and she had already fallen out with her husband's family. She lived in Yue City all year round, arrogant and despotic, and no one dared to provoke her.
"What about her?" The Monarch asked.
The eunuch said, "The Third Princess is racing her horse."
Openly racing horses on Xuanwu Avenue sounded like a serious problem. Innocent people might get hurt.
In reality, it would not.
Although the State of Yue's Xuanwu Avenue was not as wide as the one in the Great Yan Empire, it was still ninety meters wide.
That's right, the ninety meters wide Xuanwu Avenue was equivalent to thirty lanes of modern roads.
The Great Yan Empire's Xuanwu and Vermilion Bird Avenues were a hundred and fifty meters wide.
Of course, the ancient Great Tang Empire's Vermilion Bird Avenue was also a hundred and fifty meters wide.
Of course, the ancient Great Tang Empire's Vermilion Bird Avenue was also a hundred and fifty meters wide.
As for this ninety-meter-wide Black Tortoise Avenue, the middle sixty meters were mostly empty. It turned out that only members of the royal family could walk on it.
The middle sixty meters of the ninety meters wide Xuanwu Avenue was mostly empty. Originally, only royalty was allowed to use it.
However, this rule gradually changed, and many nobles began to leave.
As for ordinary people and officials, they could only walk on the two sides of the avenue.
Therefore, no matter how crazy the third princess, Ning Yan, raced, she would not hit ordinary people.
"Nonsense!" The Monarch cursed, but he did not say anything else.
The eunuch said, "When we saw Her Highness's carriage, we quickly retreated to the sides and knelt. However, not only did Shen Lang not get off the carriage, he sat on it and opened the window to look at Her Highness's body. He even commented. "
The Monarch said, "What did he say?"
The eunuch said, "I dare not repeat it. It's too much."
"Speak," the Monarch said.
The eunuch said, "He said that the woman's buttocks are big and perky, and her waist is wild enough, but her thighs are too thick."
The Monarch's expression immediately changed.
Ning Jing said angrily, "He's courting death! How dare he offend Third Sister! He's courting death!"
The eunuch said with a trembling voice, "He also said that I don't know what he means."
Ning Jing said, "Speak."
The eunuch said, "He said that he's been holding back for too long. He's turned to stone when he sees a woman of this level."
Although the words "turned to stone" were not easy to understand, the Monarch knew what it meant based on the context.
"Hahaha …" The Monarch's face was livid. He said coldly, "Does he really think he's not afraid of death?"
Ning Jing said, "Father, it's obvious that he doesn't respect the Ning clan at all. He's disrespectful and arrogant to the extreme."
The Monarch said, "Where is he?"
The eunuch said, "He's waiting in the Mercy Pavilion."
The Monarch said, "Are you still respectful?"
The eunuch said, "Ordinary people, even the feudal officials, have to kneel when they wait for His Majesty's summons. But he actually found a chair and sat down. He even asked if there was tea. He is extremely impudent and rude. It's simply shocking."
The Monarch's expression became even more unsightly.
"Then let him wait."
…
In the Mercy Pavilion of the State of Yue's palace.
The eunuch gritted his teeth in anger.
When ordinary officials came, they would hand over a gold coin and ask him to tell them where to kneel.
Most of the gold bricks in the Mercy Pavilion were solid. Only three of them were hollow.
The solid gold bricks wouldn't make a sound even if you smashed your head. But the hollow gold bricks would make a sound when you knocked on them. Wouldn't that show that you respected His Majesty a lot?
Of course, the gold bricks here weren't real gold. They were just yellow tiles.
Of course, you might say that so many officials came here to meet the Monarch. Wasn't it known that the gold bricks were hollow long ago?
That was true.
But the eunuch often changed the position of the hollow gold bricks in order to earn money. The Monarch also knew about it, but he turned a blind eye to it. After all, they were all servants. It wasn't a bad thing to help him warn the officials.
When the eunuch heard that a young son-in-law of a noble family came, he planned to extort a lot of money from him.
But he didn't expect that the young man wouldn't kneel and would sit on any chair.
The eunuch scolded him. How dare he? There's no place for a young son-in-law here. Hurry up and kneel.
But Shen Lang said that he should kneel if the Monarch wasn't here. Do you want me to kneel? Do you want to enjoy the same treatment as the Monarch?
Suddenly, the eunuch was speechless.
Damn it, you're courting death. I don't want to make trouble for myself.
No matter how he responded, it would be wrong.
So, Shen Lang sat in the Mercy Pavilion and waited.
From dawn to dusk, he waited until he was sleepy, hungry, and cold.
This was the Monarch's show of strength.
Just now, when he asked for tea, no one paid attention to him.
When he asked for pastries, no one paid attention to him.
Just when Shen Lang thought that he was going to spend the night in the Mercy Pavilion.
All the eunuchs outside knelt.
"Welcome, Your Majesty!"
Shen Lang quickly got up and knelt.
It was said that transmigrators had stiff waists and knees and were unwilling to kneel.
Naturally, Shen Lang was unwilling as well.
However, his knees were not that precious. He was willing to kneel even to his wife at a critical moment, let alone the Monarch.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
If you don't kneel, you'll die. I don't believe that you transmigrators have such stiff waists.
"Student Shen Lang respectfully greets Your Majesty."
Shen Lang placed his forehead on the ground. He did not kowtow.
The Monarch, Ning Yuanxian, walked in and sat down.
"Raise your head."
Shen Lang raised his head.
Then, he was taken aback.
'Damn!
This Monarch has such a good look?
He's a top-notch handsome man!
Moreover, he doesn't look unkind at all. While he's born luxurious, he's also elegant and suave.
He's not wearing a dragon robe either. (The dragon robe of the King of the State of Yue is a four-clawed golden dragon. The Emperor of Great Yan is a five-clawed golden dragon.)
He's wearing a black silk robe. Upon closer inspection, one could see that there's a four-clawed golden dragon on it. However, it's very faint, almost like the watermark of a banknote.
'Awesome!
This is what it means to be low-key and luxurious.
For someone like Master Lang, who can't wait to embroider his robe with golden threads, it's a little ostentatious and vulgar. '
Shen Lang made some calculations in his mind.
The Monarch's robe cost at least a thousand gold coins.
That was because every single thread on it was carefully selected.
The eyes of the four-clawed golden dragon were crushed and embroidered with the best rubies.
The dragon scales were also embroidered with gemstone fragments.
These gemstones are very hard. How did they get embroidered? Shen Lang did not dare to imagine.
You really can't judge a book by its cover. Who would have thought that the temperamental and unkind Ning Yuanxian would have such a good look?
Who does he look like? An old man who can compose thousands of poems?
Moreover, he's not much younger than Xuanwu, but he looks very young. He looks like he's only in his thirties.
'Damn it!
He's so good at taking care of himself. Did he eat dates soaked in water? '
Along the way, Shen Lang kept thinking about what questions the Monarch of the State of Yue would ask him.
How would he test if he had any intention of rebelling?
He was being watched along the way.
Of course, his every word and action was reported to the Monarch by the eunuchs.
Logically speaking, this monarch should be furious.
After all, Shen Lang was facing his daughter, Ning Yanshi, and he even despised her for having thick legs.
"Shen Lang, your family has taken over the Furious Tide City. What's your plan next?" asked the Monarch.
How could he be so straightforward?
Shen Lang asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to tell me the truth?"
The Monarch frowned.
Of course I want to tell you the truth. Do you dare to lie to me?
Shen Lang said, "I can tell you the truth, but Your Majesty, please hide your surroundings."
As soon as he said that, the Monarch Ning Yuanxian's eyes narrowed.
Shen Lang, you're just a son-in-law. You've been arrogant and domineering all the way. Now you're so arrogant in front of me.
"It's up to you whether you want to tell me or not."
The masters of the Black Water Platform and several eunuchs were still standing around.
Shen Lang said, "Then I'm going to tell you."
The Monarch's patience had reached its limit.
Shen Lang said, "I'm going to take revenge. I'm going to kill Marquis Zhenyuan, Su Nan."
"How dare you!" The Monarch Ning Yuanxian scolded angrily, "Marquis Zhenyuan is the Crown Prince's Junior Protector. You can't call him by his name. Didn't Xuanwu teach you the rules? How dare you be so presumptuous in front of me. Are you really disrespectful to your Majesty? "
Shen Lang said, "There's a blood feud between the Su family and my family. That day, my father-in-law was fighting Qiu Tianwei on the Cliff Island, and I was attacking the Furious Tide City. Su Jianting led more than a hundred masters of the Western Regions to invade my Xuan Wu Mansion. He killed more than a hundred people of my family and injured my wife and mother-in-law. Your Majesty, please investigate thoroughly and give justice to my family. "
The Monarch's face turned cold. "This bastard is unreasonable. Get him out! Get him out!"
Then, Shen Lang was thrown out of the palace by the four masters of the Black Water Platform.
His first meeting with the Monarch was over.
… …
When he returned to the courtyard of the Kim clan, Xiao Bing couldn't wait to rush up and asked worriedly, "How was it? How was it? Did the Monarch beat you? "
Shen Lang said, "No, I felt like old friends with the Monarch at first sight. We had a pleasant conversation."
Xiao Bing said, "Really?"
Shen Lang said, "How could it be fake? Is the meal ready? I'm starving. "
The meal was ready a long time ago.
Mulan's cooking skills were average, but Bing 'er's cooking skills were top-notch.
This time, she followed the son-in-law to the capital. Her heart was full of anxiety, but more than that, she was happy.
I can finally live together with the son-in-law, and I don't have to eat the leftovers left by Miss anymore.
The son-in-law's physical strength is average. Every time he has sex with Miss, he doesn't have the energy to do it with her again.
But now, the son-in-law belongs to me alone.
I, Xiao Bing, want to do it once every three days.
I'm sorry, Miss, it's wrong for a little girl like me to have such thoughts, but I really can't help it.
So during dinner, Bing 'er stared at Shen Lang with her beautiful watery eyes, full of expectation.
"Bing 'er, don't be like this. Although I left my wife, I can't let her down," Shen Lang said.
Bing 'er almost cried and said, "But Miss has promised, and she also asked me to serve the son-in-law well, so that you won't be seduced by the vixen outside. She said she would make you powerless."
Just you?
Shen Lang said, "How about this, tonight I will stay alone in the room and keep my chastity for my wife. Tomorrow night, you can crawl into my bed again. "
Bing 'er looked at the son-in-law.
What … what's the difference?
Shen Lang sighed. Nowadays, there are really not many men like me who keep their chastity.
But teasing was just teasing.
At this moment, he really missed Mulan. His whole body felt empty.
In these two months, the couple was like conjoined twins. Not only could Mulan not leave Shen Lang, but Shen Lang also couldn't leave Mulan.
"Where's the fatty?" Shen Lang asked.
Bing 'er said, "Yes, where's the young master?"
Shen Lang said, "Didn't you send someone to inform the fat otaku that I'm here?"
Bing 'er said, "The son-in-law didn't tell me, so I forgot."
Uh!
Shen Lang said, "Forget it, I'll go see him tomorrow. Now that you mention it, I really miss him. I wonder how badly he is being bullied in the Guozi Institute. "
Bing 'er said, "I don't miss him at all. I only have eyes for the son-in-law."
Shen Lang said, "It's useless for you to flatter me like this. Tonight, I will stay alone in the room."
…
In the palace.
Zhang Chong, dressed in prison clothes, knelt on the ground with heavy shackles on his body.
Zhang Jin was dead, Raging Tide City was lost, and only a few of his hair had turned white.
At this time, most of his hair had turned white.
He looked like an old man, no longer showing off his abilities like before.
"Sinner Zhang Chong greets Your Majesty!"
Zhang Chong kowtowed with difficulty. Because he was wearing shackles, no matter how hard he tried, his head couldn't hit the ground.
This was the first time he saw the Monarch after he was arrested and sent to prison.
After he was sent to prison, there was no trial, and no one asked him about corruption.
Moreover, in the Supreme Court, he didn't have any preferential treatment. He lived in the most ordinary cell and ate the most ordinary prisoner's meals.
The second son of an official in the capital went to the yamen to work in the day, and came to the Supreme Court to kneel at night.
Without the Monarch's order, he couldn't go to the prison to see his father, so he could only kneel outside to show that he shared the joys and sorrows with his father.
He had persisted like this for nearly two months.
He had practiced to the point that he could sleep on his knees, and his knees were swollen.
The Monarch Ning Yuanxian didn't say anything, and the eunuch beside him repeated Shen Lang's behavior today.
Including his impudence along the way, the words he said when he entered the Xuanwu Gate, and the rude words he said when he saw Third Princess Ning Yan.
The eunuch said, "Monarch, is Shen Lang's behavior sincere, or is he acting?"
Zhang Chong said, "Your Majesty, Shen Lang's behavior is sincere, but it is also acting."
The eunuch said, "What do you mean?"
Zhang San said, "Every word he said was the truth from the bottom of his heart. But he didn't say it, and he knew someone was watching him, but he still said it. This is acting, to make the Monarch think that he is a sentimental person. "
The eunuch said, "When he was in the Mercy Pavilion, the Monarch asked him what he plans to do next after taking over the Fury Tide City. He said he wants to kill Marquis Su Nan, is it true? "
Zhang Chong said, "Yes."
The eunuch said, "Monarch, is Shen Lang ambitious? Will he rebel? "
Zhang Chong said, "He won't rebel if we don't force him. If we force him, he will definitely rebel! "
Instantly, the Monarch's handsome face turned cold.
He couldn't bear to hear the word rebel.
The eunuch said, "Monarch, what is Shen Lang's ideal?"
Zhang Chong thought for a while, "To enjoy wealth and not be wronged."
The eunuch said, "What do you mean by not being wronged?"
Zhang Chong said, "If someone offends him, he will kill them all."
The Monarch finally spoke, "Then why didn't he kill you?"
Zhang Chong said, "Because I have never offended him."
That's true!
From start to finish, Zhang Chong and Shen Lang only had political conflicts and no personal enmity.
So after the winner was decided, the two of them could be said to have laughed it off.
The Monarch played with the porcelain in his hand.
This porcelain was extremely precious. Not only was it exquisite, but it was also almost transparent.
It was clearly porcelain, but it looked like jade.
Just this cup alone was worth a few hundred gold coins.
But this kind of porcelain only looked good, it would break at the slightest touch.
Shen Lang was like this porcelain.
Exquisite beyond compare.
Everyone said he was uncouth.
But the Monarch could see a kind of temperament from him, a kind of exquisite temperament.
The rarest thing in this world was an exquisite person.
After playing with it for a while, the Monarch asked, "Zhang Chong, do you think I should kill Shen Lang?"
After saying that, the Monarch's gaze seemed to fall carelessly on the cup in his hand.
At this time, Zhang Chong had to blurt it out without thinking it over.
Jun Shang's way of thinking is different from others.
He doesn't need you to give him the right answer, nor does he need you to give him the best answer.
What he wants is … the truth.
Zhang Chong said, "I won't kill him."
The Monarch said, "Why?"
Zhang Chong said, "If used properly, this child is a sharp blade, a blade sharper than this sinner's."
