Fighting against the heavens was an endless joy.
Fighting against the earth was an endless joy.
Fighting against others was an endless joy.
Monarch Ning Yuanxian couldn't do that yet.
But fighting against others was an endless joy, and he could clearly feel it.
Marquis Su Nan was a cunning old fox, an extremely cunning old fox.
On the surface, he was completely a lackey of the Monarch, and supported all of the Monarch's will without any bottom line.
But that was only on the surface.
The Monarch could feel how difficult it was to deal with Su Nan in private, and how he was like a needle in a velvet velvet.
He was even a little annoyed.
On the surface, the Su family's strategy seemed to support everything the Monarch did.
But in reality, the Qiang Kingdom was number one, and the Qiang Kingdom was supreme.
Since decades ago, the Su family had begun to implement this strategy, and after a long period of operation.
The Qiang Kingdom and the Su family had finally become an inseparable alliance.
The Su family also monopolized the diplomatic strategy of the State of Yue and the Qiang Kingdom.
What was this?
They were holding the enemy hostage!
In essence, this was no different from the Kim family's strategy of ruling from across the sea, and was even worse.
Although Jin Zhuo was stubborn, he was still an upright person, and never beat around the bush. He was an honest person.
Of course, it was precisely because of this that the Monarch put the butcher's knife on his head.
Damn it, how could he be reasonable in this world?
Now that Jin Zhuo had taken down Raging Tide City, the Monarch was extremely angry, and even wanted to send troops to destroy him.
But after calming down, he still put his interests first.
As long as he kept an eye on Shenlang, Jin Zhuo would never rebel.
On the other hand, it was hard to say about the Su family.
If the new policy targeted the Su family, Su Nan would not rebel on the surface, but the Qiang Kingdom would enter the country to plunder, and the flames of war would rise everywhere.
The State of Yue's Western Army was already under great pressure to deal with Chu. If the Qiang Kingdom rebelled again, the Western Army would be exhausted, and it would give Chu an opportunity.
Therefore, the new policy could not move against the Su family no matter what. Instead, at the critical moment, they had to invite Su Nan back from Zhenyuan City to be the General of the Army and the Crown Prince's Junior Guardian.
Many people thought that the Monarch invited Su Nan back because of the new policy.
Actually, that was not the case.
It was because Prince Jin's conspiracy had been solved and the South Kingdom's rebellion was imminent.
At that time, the Qiang Kingdom was also restless. The Qiang King had mentioned several times that he wanted to enter the State of Yue to plunder.
The entire southwest was in turmoil.
For the sake of the war in The South Kingdom, the Monarch had no choice but to invite the old Bodhisattva Su Nan back.
Sure enough, the Qiang Kingdom quieted down. They symbolically plundered a few times, and they even plundered the Su Clan's territory.
Su Nan was very useful against the Qiang Kingdom.
Otherwise, the Monarch would have chased him far away.
This person was too difficult to deal with!
On the surface, she was extremely obedient and loyal.
In fact, it was extremely slippery.
Every time he entered the capital, he could weave a dense web of power.
Originally, there were only two factions in the imperial court, the Crown Prince's faction and the Third Prince's faction, one civil and one military.
After Su Nan arrived at the capital, he formed a neutral faction with a few magnates in a short period of time, instantly establishing a tripartite balance in the three states.
Since then, the neutral faction continued to grow, benefiting from both sides.
Both the Crown Prince and the Third Prince desperately fought for the support of the neutral faction.
Not only that, Su Nan kept saying that he only supported the Monarch, supporting whoever was on the throne.
Therefore, the entire neutral faction seemed to be a direct descendant of the Monarch.
Could the Monarch still step forward to deny it?
Of course not!
Su Nan borrowed the tiger's might, and Ning Yuanxian, the tiger, really allowed him to borrow the power.
Before the The South Kingdom rebelled, the Qiang Kingdom's army was restless. They kept saying that their cattle and sheep were declining, and that they wanted to enter the State of Yue to plunder.
Was this not part of Su Nan's plan?
No one would believe it!
Therefore, on the surface, the position of the Crown Prince's Junior Tutor and the Commander-in-Chief was bestowed by the Monarch.
But from a certain perspective, wasn't it also something that Su Nan had fought for?
This time, Su Nan finally revealed a flaw.
The Monarch, of course, had to pick up a knife and ruthlessly cut his flesh to draw blood.
Therefore, why would he meet Su Nan in advance and accept his apology?
If he were to ask for forgiveness in private, should he forgive him or not?
It was better to wait until the public's emotions were turbulent, and the whole matter had completely fermented until it became a huge political crisis.
The bigger the mess, the bigger the crisis for the Su Clan.
Only when I stab down with this knife can I bleed more of your blood.
At this moment, a beautiful and luxurious woman walked in.
Su Nan's younger sister, Su Fei, was also Ning Zheng and Ning Jing's biological mother.
"Your concubine pays respect to Your Majesty."
The Monarch said gently, "It's a chilly spring, and the ground is cold. Beloved concubine, please rise! The sky is not even bright yet, why are you up so early? "
Su Fei said, "Although your concubine is not well-educated, I respect the saints and know that the Holy Temple is the faith of the people in the world. I heard that the Holy Temple was burned by the evil people of the Qiang Kingdom, so I thought that Your Majesty must be suffering. Therefore, I felt uneasy and came to take a look. "
The Monarch looked at the ground.
Everything in the entire study was smashed.
A lot of precious porcelain and jade were all broken.
There was also the rosewood table, which had been cut countless times by the Monarch's sharp sword.
This was his most cherished desk.
He had even beaten the most trusted eunuch by his side ten times, making him badly mutilated.
There was no other way, he had to vent his anger and let everyone see it.
Su Fei wanted to say something but hesitated.
It was obvious that she wanted to plead for her brother, Su Nan, but the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, so she could not speak.
If she did not speak, she could at least use her eyes.
The Monarch said, "Don't worry, Su Shaobao has worked hard and made great contributions. How could I blame him? You can rest assured and go rest! "
Su Fei said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Your concubine will take her leave."
After leaving, Su Fei's eyes suddenly flashed a few traces of haze.
The Monarch's reaction was not good because he was evading.
Su Fei's purpose for coming here was very obvious. She wanted the Monarch to see Marquis Su Nan in advance, and not wait until after the court.
Why?
There were still two hours before the court, and the political consequences of the burning of the Holy Temple had not completely erupted.
Therefore, Su Nan had to pay a smaller price for admitting his guilt in advance.
Ning Yuanxian was the ruler of a country. It was not good for him to take the initiative to ask Su Nan for something, and he could not directly play a game.
Therefore, by apologizing in advance, Su Nan could get through this crisis with a smaller price.
And once the court started!
All the officials in the world would be crazy to impeach him, and the burning of the Holy Temple would rise to an uncontrollable situation.
It would become a huge crisis.
At that time, the anger of the officials in the world would become a weapon in the hands of the Monarch.
The Qiang Country committed a sin, and the Su Clan suffered a calamity. This was something that could not be helped.
The key point was that the Su Clan had sent people to accompany and monitor the Qiang Country's dozens of envoys and warriors.
Now that these people burned the Holy Temple, could the Su Clan say that they were innocent?
Now that the Monarch did not see Su Nan in advance, it meant that he was sharpening his knife and preparing to take advantage of the Su Clan.
If the Su Clan wanted to get through this crisis, they would have to pay a huge price.
How could the Monarch, Ning Yuanxian, be mean and ungrateful just for saying?
Not only to the Kim family, but also to the Su Clan!
It was because she had seen through the Monarch's intentions that Su Fei felt uneasy.
Although she was married to the Monarch, she would never forget that she was a woman of the Su Clan.
The Su Clan was his true support.
The Su Clan was strong, and her position in the harem was high.
Looking at Concubine Bian, she was not very beautiful, and her body was not very good. She had not even given birth to half a child.
Under normal circumstances, she would have been banished to the Cold Palace.
But she was still the Monarch's most favored concubine. Every month, the Monarch would stay at the Queen's place for thirteen days, and at Concubine Bian's place for ten days. The remaining seven or eight days were alternated by several concubines.
What was the reason for this?
Wasn't it because Duke Bian Xiao was powerful?
… …
Outside the palace!
At this time, the sky was just beginning to brighten.
The old Marquis Su Nan knelt on the ground. He was not straight at all, but his back was even heavier.
His white hair was swaying in the wind.
His whole body was trembling, as if he could collapse at any time.
And his son, Su Jianting, was kneeling straight.
Shen Lang and Ning Zheng did not kneel.
Fifth Prince Ning Zheng was supposed to kneel because he was used to kneeling for a day and a night.
The last time he pleaded for Xuan Wu Mansion, he knelt for two or three days.
But seeing that Shen Lang did not kneel, he could only not kneel.
Otherwise, it would seem that Shen Lang was particularly rude.
Shen Lang stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Nephew's son-in-law, Shen Lang, pays respect to uncle."
Su Nan nodded and did not speak.
It was not because he was rude, but because he was here to ask for forgiveness from the Monarch, so he could not speak.
The first thing he said must be to confess to the Monarch, otherwise it would be disrespectful and dishonest.
If it were any other time, Marquis Su Nan would definitely warmly invite Shen Lang to be a guest at the Marquis of Zhenyuan Residence.
On the contrary, Su Jianting used to be very good at putting on airs.
For example, the first time he went to Xuan Wu Mansion to compete with Mulan, his tone was very good, and he was super pretentious.
At this time, he felt it was beneath him to put on an act with Shen Lang. He stared at him coldly and said, "Get out of the way."
There was no one else here anyway, only Shen Lang and the useless Ning Zheng, so there was no need to put on an act.
Marquis Su Nan sighed in his heart.
This son is still not experienced enough.
To put on an act, one must put on an act all the time.
When someone wants to act, no one has to act even more. That way, it will appear real, and that way, there will be no flaws.
I, Su Nan, have been acting all my life.
I play the role of a dog of the Monarch, a loyal dog.
After acting for a long time, everyone in the world would think so.
The Monarch could only think so.
Countless people were scolding Marquis Su Nan, saying that he was the shame of the old aristocrats, a lowly lackey, and so on.
Instead of being angry, he was very happy.
Not only did he let others scold him, but he also paid the censor to scold him.
According to modern words, this character of mine can be considered a success.
Standing under the glory of the Monarch, he became one of the big shots of the neutral faction.
"Get lost!" Su Jianting said in a low voice.
Shen Lang still did not leave.
This is the square in front of the palace gate, you, Su Jianting, do not dare to use force.
Shen Lang walked a little closer and said in a low voice, "Uncle Su Nan, have you heard it? Someone said that when I had an audience with His Majesty in the palace yesterday, I spoke arrogantly and said that I would kill you. "
Was it not true?
Shen Lang shook his head and said, "Rumors, those are all rumors, you must not believe them."
Su Jianting could not bear it anymore and said coldly, "It's too late to change your words now."
Shen Lang said, "I clearly said … that I would kill your whole family, and exterminate your Su clan. How did it become that I only wanted to kill Uncle Su Nan? The people who spread the rumors are too careless, at least tell me the whole story. "
As soon as these words came out, Su Jianting's whole face turned green, and he was about to explode.
He wanted to draw his sword and cut Shen Lang into pieces.
You, Shen Lang, dare to be so presumptuous, so domineering?
Did you eat a bear's heart and a leopard's gall?
But this was in front of the palace gate, if he dared to draw his sword and kill people, wouldn't that be a rebellion?
Marquis Su Nan finally turned his head and looked at Shen Lang, slightly startled.
Shen Lang, who was said to be almost demonic in intelligence, was actually like this?
Was he so cheap?
Was he so cheap on the surface?
Was he so direct?
Su Jianting said hoarsely, "Shen Lang, were you behind the burning of the Sacred Temple? If you still have a bit of backbone, tell me the truth. "
After saying that, Su Jianting stared at Shen Lang with a burning gaze, as if any of his lies would be seen through.
"It was me, it was me." Shen Lang said, "I have no backbone, but I can still tell the truth."
Su Jianting's eyes suddenly opened.
His hand instinctively went to his waist to draw his sword.
He didn't expect that Shen Lang would really dare to admit it.
It was such a big thing, and he still dared to admit it.
"This is my plot. In order to save Jin Mucong, in order to frame your Su clan, I thought of a way to burn the Sacred Temple, poking a hole in the sky." Shen Lang said, "Su Jianting, I am a very honest person in front of the enemy, what can you do to me? What can you do to me? "
Prince Ning Zheng's lips twitched.
He had heard a lot about Shen Lang's character, but seeing him so cheap for the first time, he was really not used to it.
"Well, you finally admitted it." Su Jianting said coldly, "Now that the truth is out, do you have the guts to do it in front of the Monarch? Do you have the guts to admit that you were behind this in front of all the officials in the world? "
Shen Lang said, "Of course not, I don't have the guts. I told you long ago, I have no backbone. Why don't you go to the Monarch and report me? "
F * ck!
You bastard, I can't wait to tear you to pieces, to pieces.
However, to Shen Lang's amazement, Marquis Su Nan not only did not get angry, but showed a look of appreciation and admiration.
Damn it!
This person is really an old fox!
Not only can he endure, but he can also see everything clearly, and he is as calm as a poisonous snake, not angry at all.
Zhang Chong is as sharp as a sword.
And this Su Nan is like a pool of poisonous water, invisible and invisible.
Another top-notch opponent.
But Shen Lang was excited.
Only when I meet a powerful opponent will I, Shen Lang, show how powerful I am.
Crushing is interesting, but defeating a strong enemy is more interesting.
At this time, the officials went to court one after another.
The first to come was an old acquaintance, Tiannan Province Governor Zhu Jung.
The Crown Prince's die-hard supporter.
Shen Lang hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Governor Zhu Jung, long time no see, I trust you have been well since we last met."
Zhu Rong was startled. Why was he acting so friendly?
We don't seem to be that familiar, and we used to be enemies.
Zhu Jung nodded and then entered the palace.
Shen Lang said, "Governor Zhu Jung, the culprit of the burning of the holy temple is the Su family. Later in the court, you must remember to impeach Marquis Su Nan, and it's best to impeach all the officials in the Crown Prince's faction."
As soon as these words came out, Governor Zhu Jung stopped in his tracks.
He looked at Shen Lang in disbelief.
Did I hear it wrong?
Do you, Shen Lang, think the palace is a market?
Or do you think it's a school between you and Hanshui Town, publicly asking an official to criticize another official like this.
Is this child's play?
At this time, another official came over.
The younger brother of Marquis Zhenxi, the champion general, the deputy of the Privy Council, Zong E!
He is the Third Prince's loyal follower.
The highest authority in the court of the State of Yue is the Secretariat.
And the Privy Council is the highest military authority in the State of Yue, in charge of the military and political power of the entire State of Yue.
There is only one Privy Council, the Duke of Weiwu, Bian Xiao.
But he has never been in office, so the position is actually empty.
And there are as many as four Privy Council Deputies.
Marquis Su Nan's real official position is the Privy Council Deputy.
Marquis Zhenbei Nangong Ao is also the Privy Council Deputy, after Su Nan and before Zong E.
Shen Lang stepped forward and said, "Count Zong E, nice to meet you, I am Shen Lang of Xuan Wu Mansion."
The Privy Council Deputy Zhong E can't help but frown slightly.
Xuan Wu Mansion Shen Lang?
Are we close?
You're just a son-in-law, and you're here to claim a relationship with me? Do you even have the slightest self-awareness? Do you know the immensity of heaven and earth?
Besides, my family and the Kim clan are considered enemies.
Because the Zong family of Marquis Zhenxi and the Xue family of Wuan Count House are the direct descendants of the third prince, absolute allies.
And the Xue family and the Kim family are mortal enemies.
Of course, the Xue family and the Kim clan are also enemies.
Shen Lang doesn't care at all, he cupped his hands and said, "Count Zong E, the main culprit behind the burning of the Holy Temple is Marquis Su Nan. Remember to impeach him in court later, you must impeach him, bring all the officials of your faction to impeach him!"
Then, Count Zong E was also stunned.
Was this … a lunatic?
How dare he openly collude in front of the palace?
Who are you? What is your status?
A mere son-in-law, an ant-like character, dares to do this? Aren't you afraid of death?
He wanted to explode. If it were any other place, he would still give the order to slap Shen Lang half to death.
But this is the palace, he can't do it.
If the Monarch knew about this, he would immediately send people to arrest Shen Lang. Not to say to beat him to death, but at least to half to death.
He's digging his own grave.
Next, a scene that subverted people's worldview appeared.
Every time an official came to court, Shen Lang would go up and curry favor with them.
Then he shouted, "The Holy Temple was burned, the Su family, and Marquis Su Nan is the main culprit. In a while, you must impeach him in court, bring everyone to impeach him."
This posture is not discussing national affairs at all, it is more like … spreading rumors.
Bring whoever you see.
And bring your whole family with you.
You're doing Amway.
Su Jianting really couldn't bear it anymore, he really wanted to make a move.
He can't do it, so he directly called for the guards in the palace to come over and arrest Shen Lang, then heavily beat him.
However, did he not notice that the palace did not respond to Shen Lang's actions?
At this time, Marquis Su Nan was shocked.
This Shen Lang was truly vicious to the extreme.
And he has no bottom line at all.
Others can't see his sinister heart, but Count Su Nan can see it clearly.
Shen Lang wants to make the fire bigger!
This is to remind the Crown Prince and the Third Prince's officials not to miss a good opportunity.
The Monarch's butcher knife is about to bleed the Su family, why don't you seize the opportunity and work for the Monarch?
Of course, both the Crown Prince and the Third Prince want to rope in Su Nan.
If only one side impeached Su Nan, they would definitely not do it.
But if both sides impeached together, then there would be no problem.
To offend Su Nan, both sides should be offended together.
If there is no crime, no one should be offended.
And compared to pleasing Su Nan, it is probably more important to please the Monarch.
Shen Lang is reminding the officials of the two factions to cater to the monarch's will.
You don't understand the Monarch's heart, and you still need me to remind you.
Originally, this incident was not a big nor small crisis for the Su family.
And now, Shen Lang and the Monarch have joined forces to make this crisis bigger and bigger, to open a big hole in the Su family, desperately bleeding.
So vicious.
Good method.
So powerful!
Marquis Su Nan gasped in amazement.
Shen Lang's wisdom is close to that of a demon. He can be said to have truly felt it.
He is alone in the capital, and he just arrived yesterday, and stirred up this storm.
No wonder Zhang Chong lost.
No wonder the Kim family can seize Fury Tide City.
This is really troublesome!
A small crisis is about to become a big crisis.
… …
Originally, the Monarch had sent a eunuch to call Shen Lang half an hour ago.
The eunuch had just been beaten, and his body was badly mutilated.
Therefore, the little eunuch came outside the palace to summon Shen Lang.
But when the little eunuch came to the palace gate, he heard him making trouble outside, clamoring for the officials to impeach Shen Lang.
He was immediately overjoyed.
Shen Lang, you are seeking your own death.
Isn't this a good opportunity for me to flatter? Everyone knows that the Monarch doesn't like the Kim clan, and he doesn't like Shen Lang.
Therefore, the little eunuch went back to complain.
He reported Shen Lang's shameful behavior in front of the palace to the Monarch.
One was to please the Monarch, the second was to please the Crown Prince, and the third was to please Su Fei.
It was killing three birds with one stone.
"This servant has really opened my eyes. This little son-in-law of Shen Lang completely treats the palace as a vegetable market. He doesn't let go of any official he sees, and clamors for every official to impeach Marquis Su Nan, and even his whole family to impeach him."
"Such a clown behavior, he has no reverence for His Majesty. This servant can't stand it anymore, so I came to report to His Majesty."
After complaining, the little eunuch was overjoyed. Shen Lang is finished this time.
Next, the Crown Prince and Su Fei will probably reward me greatly.
The Monarch's eyes suddenly turned cold, and a murderous intent surged in his heart.
Of course, it was not for Shen Lang, but for this little eunuch who had just been favored.
Then, the Monarch shouted angrily, "This little son-in-law is so bold? Presumptuous, presumptuous! "
The little eunuch said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I'll bring my men to arrest this bastard immediately."
Everyone who knew Ning Yuanxian knew.
When he was angry, he was not angry.
When he was smiling, he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
The Monarch said angrily, "I'd like to see what Shen Lang wants to do."
Then, he didn't call Shen Lang again, and let him perform outside the palace.
He waited until Shen Lang found dozens of officials and asked them to impeach Su Nan.
Finally, the Monarch couldn't bear it anymore.
"Guards, bring that little son-in-law here. Tie him up and bring him here!"
"Presumptuous, presumptuous!"
"Does he really think that I don't dare to kill him?"
The little eunuch was overjoyed. He immediately wanted to bring his warriors to arrest Shen Lang and torture him.
However!
The big eunuch next to him was a few steps ahead. Although he was badly beaten, he was very fast.
He brought four warriors with him to the entrance of the palace and brought Shen Lang into the palace!
In his eyes, the little eunuch next to him was already a dead man.
What an idiot. He can't even guess the Emperor's true intentions, and he still wants to stand beside the Monarch?
