Regardless of whether it was the State of Wu or the State of Yue, no one would be punished for their words.
One could still remember the fearless Deputy Imperial Censor who had publicly exposed the affair between Shen Lang and Princess Ning Yan, causing Princess Ning Yan to be placed under house arrest in the Imperial Clan Temple. Even now, she had not been released.
This was a huge slap to the face of the royal family.
And this Deputy Imperial Censor had not been punished in public. Instead, he had been punished for corruption.
It was as if the Imperial Censors had been born with the power to scold people.
If you were to be flogged because of your scolding, and if you didn't die or become disabled, then congratulations, you'd become famous, you'd become an idol in the bureaucracy.
Perhaps this group of young imperial censors was filled with resentment and grief over the deaths of tens of thousands of people.
But most of them just wanted to be famous.
They wanted to fight for the throne.
From their point of view, there was no risk at all.
Shen Lang had committed a heinous crime.
Although he had made a great contribution and destroyed the main force of the Su Clan's rebel army, he had led the Qiang Kingdom's cavalry into the country.
However, he had led the Qiang Kingdom's cavalry into their territory, which was a grave crime. The disaster from a hundred years ago was still fresh in his mind.
Furthermore, the rebellion in the Western Heaven Province had already been quelled. It was time to get rid of the donkey after it had outlived its usefulness.
That idiot Shen Lang had publicly killed the Governor of the Western Heaven Province and attacked the imperial army. Wasn't he seeking his own death?
Shen Lang had put his head in front of them. How could they not kill him?
Therefore, these young imperial censors rushed to the Imperial Residence in the north, determined to kill Shen Lang!
But at this moment, a group of ferocious warriors rushed out and pinned these young censors down, pulling off their pants.
They raised the wooden plank and were about to start the beating.
The young censor was shocked, then shouted, "Your Majesty, we are pleading on behalf of the people!"
"Your Majesty, you must not trust a traitor!"
"Colleagues, we have studied for ten years just for this day."
"We would rather die than kill the traitor Shen Lang."
"For the peace of the world, for the justice of the people … Ah …"
The group of censors thought that it was just a wooden plank or a wooden plank, so they took the opportunity to shout their slogans.
But unexpectedly, the moment the wooden plank came down, something was wrong.
"Crack …"
The staff came down.
His entire pelvis was instantly crushed.
The second strike broke his thigh bone.
After the third strike, his lumbar vertebra broke, and he lost all feeling below his waist.
In an instant, the group of young imperial censors were scared out of their wits.
"Your Majesty, spare my life!"
"Your Majesty, spare me, spare me …"
"Your Majesty, we were wrong."
The great eunuch Li Sun was indifferent as he flipped his palm.
A few of the warriors immediately swung their wooden staffs at the heads of these young censors.
Instant death!
The whole place was silent!
Li Sun waved his hand and the corpses of the four young imperial censors were dragged out like dead dogs!
… …
"Your Majesty, he's dead!"
"Um." Ning Yuanxian held a bowl of glutinous rice balls and ate them carefully.
After the four young censors were killed, he was no longer as angry as before.
He seemed to have calmed down.
As an emperor, he had seen too many of such things.
The entire imperial court, even the entire world, was like this.
Most people were fools who were blinded by greed.
It was just that their acting was too clumsy, which infuriated him.
"That bastard Shen Lang deserved to be beaten, he deserved to be beaten …" Monarch Ning Yuanxian said, "He was too arrogant. What was the word he used? Was it used to describe a fool? "
Li Sun waved his hand.
The censor retreated because it was a private conversation, not a public place.
Li Sun said, "That word was a fool."
"Yes, that's the word." Monarch said, "That bastard Shen Lang was too arrogant. Liang Wannian was an idiot who deserved to die, but couldn't you tolerate him a little? Why did you kill him in public? And you even killed Liang Wannian's army of a few thousand. When someone framed him, he didn't even bother to refute and killed them directly. He even acted like I did it, so what? That bastard was too arrogant. "
Li Sun smiled, "But this also solved a problem for Your Majesty. Your Majesty won't have to worry about how to kill Liang Wannian anymore."
Ning Yuanxian sneered, "I'll worry about him? I can kill a bastard like Liang Wannian with my eyes closed. "
Then, Ning Yuanxian ate a few more mouthfuls of glutinous rice balls.
"Now it's all right. I wanted to reward that bastard, but I don't have to. When he comes back, I'll give him a few lashes. It's a great sin to kill a governor without my permission." Ning Yuanxian said, "Go and give him a new edict. Just say that Liang Wannian was killed under my order."
Li Sun bowed and said, "Yes."
Ning Yuanxian said, "But that bastard probably won't be grateful to me. He doesn't want any reward at all."
Li Sun replied, "That should be the case. His words were very clear. He went to the West Heaven Province to seek revenge, to destroy the Su Clan, and not to establish a career."
"Bastard, what a bastard." Ning Yuanxian put the bowl of glutinous rice balls on the table and said, "He doesn't care about my reward at all. That's amazing!"
Speaking of this, Ning Yuanxian couldn't help but get angry.
For a genius like Shen Lang, the only thing that drove him was actually revenge. Fame and fortune couldn't attract him in the slightest. Being the son-in-law of the Black Tortoise Marquis Manor, Shen Lang didn't seem to have any desire to improve himself.
Li Sun said, "Your Majesty, there are still rumors that Su Nan had monopolized the Qiang Kingdom's diplomacy and rebelled. Now, Shen Lang has not only monopolized the Qiang Kingdom's diplomacy, but also the entire Qiang Kingdom's army. I'm afraid his ambition is even greater. "
"Hahaha …" Ning Yuanxian laughed as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.
His words were not worth refuting.
"It's good that this bastard is ambitious. I'm afraid of others, but this bastard doesn't live up to my expectations," Ning Yuanxian said. "Order the bastard to come back as soon as possible. Don't provoke Zheng Tuo for now. This is not Liang Wannian. Zheng Tuo has already occupied the Marquis of Zhenyuan Manor and has 20,000 soldiers. It's not easy to deal with him. I need to plan slowly."
"The most important thing now is to pacify the Western Heaven Province and make Chu Kingdom lose all hope. Then, we can negotiate with Wu Kingdom."
"Ask the bastard Shen Lang to come back as soon as possible. Don't let him suffer."
Li Sun said, "What about his reputation?"
Shen Lang's reputation was now widely condemned, and countless people wanted to kill him.
Ning Yuanxian said, "Does this bastard care about his reputation?"
Li Sun nodded in response.
A cowardly scumbag who went to a brothel in order to deceive people, and who was regarded as incompetent in bed, would care about his reputation?
No way!
His skin was thicker than the city wall.
Ning Yuanxian suddenly said, "Li Sun, what do you think if Ning Yan marries Shen Lang after the divorce?"
The eunuch Li Sun immediately lowered his head and said, "I don't dare to say."
Ning Yuanxian waved his hand and said, "Forget it. Let's not talk about this! Order the bastard Shen Lang to come back as soon as possible and leave Zheng Tuo to me. "
"Yes!" Li Sun said.
At this moment, a Black Water Platform Warrior rushed in.
"Your Majesty, Princess Ning Jie's secret report!"
The Monarch was startled. Why was there another secret report? And there were two of them.
He opened the first one.
The Monarch was shocked and looked at the contents in disbelief.
On the second day after the defeat of the main force of the Su Clan, Su Nan led the entire clan to flee to the Western Regions. Twenty-five hours later, Shen Lang led the Qiang Kingdom's cavalry to chase after them, but they couldn't catch up.
However, Shen Lang took advantage of Su Nan's greed and used the gold of the Qiang Kingdom as bait.
The Su Clan was killed by Shen Lang, and their heads had been transported here.
The Su Clan was exterminated!
He read it over and over again.
The Monarch was truly shocked.
Su Nan had escaped. Of course, he felt regretful.
Moreover, he was well aware of Su Nan's capabilities. If he was allowed to rise in the Western Regions, he would be in big trouble in the future.
However, the countries of the Western Regions were completely out of his reach.
Who would have thought that the entire Su Clan would be exterminated by Shen Lang?
The Monarch could hardly imagine what the final showdown between Shen Lang and Su Nan would be like.
But it would definitely be spectacular.
All this while, bad news had been coming one after another.
Good news was hard to string together.
He hadn't expected to receive two pieces of great news in just a few days.
Shen Lang, that little bastard.
It was truly powerful, to the point where it was boundlessly powerful.
Ning Yuanxian then opened the other secret report.
This time, he trembled in fear.
Shen Lang had led two thousand Qiang Kingdom cavalry to attack the Marquis of Zhenyuan and Zheng Tuo.
Ning Yuanxian's scalp went numb.
Was that little bastard crazy?
The Marquis of Zhenyuan's residence was impregnable.
Zheng Tuo had an army of twenty thousand inside.
Zheng Tuo wasn't a piece of trash like Liang Yongnian. While his current position was inseparable from Ning Yuanxian's promotion, he had also fought his way to this position.
Moreover, the troops under his command were the true elites of the Western Army. They couldn't be compared to Liang Yongnian's useless army.
With Zheng Tuo guarding the Marquis of Zhenyuan's residence, not even twenty thousand, fifty thousand, or even eighty thousand people would be able to take it down.
The castle of the Marquis of Zhenyuan's residence was one of the most difficult to take down.
Shen Lang's attack with two thousand soldiers was suicidal no matter how one looked at it.
That bastard was crazy.
That bastard was really useful, but … he couldn't control him at all.
"That little bastard, can't you let me rest for a few days? I've said that I'll deal with Zheng Tuo, "Ning Yuanxian said angrily.
Li Sun couldn't help but glance at him, and then he said, "Your Majesty, perhaps Young Master Shen wants to put an end to the chaos in Western Heaven Province once and for all. After Su Nan's army is destroyed, Zheng Tuo has become the only unstable factor."
Ning Yuanxian said in a trembling voice, "It's too risky, too risky. I had no choice but to take the risk. The key is that the outcome has been determined. Why take such a big risk? Zheng Tuo will really kill him. Believe me, I'm ruthless. I'll definitely take the opportunity to kill him! "
Li Sun said, "Your Majesty, you're too worried. Even Su Nan couldn't kill Shen. No matter how powerful Zheng Tuo is, he can't be compared to Su Nan."
Ning Yuanxian trembled with anger.
The outcome had been determined, but now there was another problem.
"Issue an edict to Zheng Tuo as soon as possible. Confer him the title of Earl of Zhenyuan." Ning Yuanxian said, "Calm him down first, then ask Shen Lang to come back. There's no need to take such a risk."
Li Sun shuddered.
Earl of Zhenyuan would give Zheng Tuo countless fantasies.
Zheng Tuo used to be the Earl of Pingxi, a new aristocrat. He didn't have a proper family fief or a proper private army.
But Earl of Zhenyuan used to be Su Nan's title, Marquis of Zhenyuan.
Zheng Tuo thought, "What does the Monarch mean by this?
Does he want me to replace him and confer the former Su Clan's fief to me? "
The key was that Zheng Tuo was eager for this.
Even if he knew Ning Yuanxian had other intentions, he would still take the bait, because this was the result he wanted the most.
Li Sun said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, it will take at least five days for the edict to reach the Marquis of Zhenyuan's Mansion. It may be too late by then. Shen is powerful. He won't fight unprepared. "
Ning Yuanxian scolded angrily, "Bastard! He could give me such a big surprise in a quarter of an hour, but in the next quarter of an hour, he can give me such a big fright. Why take the risk when the situation is so good? Why did he have to use two thousand men to attack the Marquis of Zhenyuan's Mansion? What if he loses? If he dies … "
"Hurry up and send the edict, send the edict …"
Ning Yuanxian wrote the edict to confer the title of Earl of Zhenyuan to Zheng Tuo.
Then he wrote an edict to Shen Lang, with only three words: Get back here!
"Hurry up, send it to the Marquis of Zhenyuan's Mansion as fast as possible. Send it there in five days. If you are two hours late, I will kill you!"
The warriors of the Black Water Platform kowtowed and said, "Yes."
Li Sun sealed the two secret edicts as fast as he could, stamped them with wax, and handed them to the warriors of the Black Water Platform.
The warriors of the Black Water Platform dashed out.
Next, the whole Black Water Platform would use all the manpower and force to send the edict as fast as possible.
Ning Yuanxian was so angry that he smashed the unfinished glutinous rice ball and stomped on it several times.
"When the bastard Shen Lang comes back, lock him up for me, so that he won't make trouble for me!"
"Where does he get his ability to make trouble? Nobody would believe that he is the son of a farmer. "
"Damn Zheng Tuo, damn it, damn it!"
Li Sun stepped forward and quietly cleaned up the broken bowls!
He sighed inwardly.
He knew his master's character very well.
Although he was extremely loyal, to be honest, this emperor was really mean and ungrateful. He didn't even care about his own children, let alone others.
The only people this Monarch really loved were Concubine Bian, the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, Princess Ning Han, and a few others.
Princess Ning Yan also felt guilty in her heart, so she felt a little more pity for her.
Right now, he was truly concerned about Shen Lang.
Otherwise, given his character, why would he give in to Zheng Tuo?
He wanted nothing more than to tear Zheng Tuo into a thousand pieces, but for Shen Lang's sake, he had forcefully clenched his teeth and conferred Zheng Tuo the title of Count of Zhenyuan, all so that Zheng Tuo would not be able to kill Shen Lang.
Between people, it was really fate.
If he liked him, he liked him very much. If he hated him, he hated him very much.
Zhang Chong made such a great contribution, and the Monarch was very touched. However, after the battle at White Cloud City, the Monarch's concern for Zhang Chong suddenly faded.
Although the decree still showed great concern for Zhang Chong, Li Sun could still sense the change in the Monarch's mind.
And Li Sun could see it too.
His Majesty was really confused because of his concern.
Young Master Shen was a cunning man. Why would he attack Zheng Tuo if he did not have full confidence?
It sounded ridiculous.
Shen Lang had two thousand men to attack Zheng Tuo's twenty thousand men, and they even had the impregnable Marquis of Zhenyuan's residence.
But what else could an evil person like Shen not do?
… …
Note: Something happened at home. It was an emotional impact between family members. My mind went blank, and I was so upset that I almost stopped updating. I tried my best to write this second chapter, and that's it for today. I'm sorry, everyone. Can I still ask for monthly votes?
