Ji Yanxiu's coronation ceremony was very simple. After all, the Zhou Kingdom was just a small country in Nanman, so there were not many formalities.
The whole ceremony was over in less than two hours. Even the chief detectives and the chief stewards of the 49 roads of the Zhou Kingdom were not invited. They just sent someone to inform them.
After all, the Great Zhou Dynasty needed them to guard the various places. Ji Yanxiu was only the Crown Prince and not the Prince, so there was no need to make it so grand. They would wait until the day Ji Yanxiu ascended to the throne.
After the ceremony, there were several big events that were more exciting than Ji Yanxiu becoming the crown prince. It was the change of personnel in the School of Six-Fans.
Tie Ao announced his resignation as the chief detective of the School of Six-Fans. Tie Zhan, one of the Four Super Arresters, took over. Su Xin became the head of the Four Super Arresters.
Although Liu Wuqian and Fang Jiuyuan were more experienced than Su Xin, they did not even fight for this position.
After all, in terms of strength and achievements, they would only humiliate themselves if they competed with Su Xin.
From now on, when Tie Zhan was in closed-door training, Su Xin could temporarily take over the responsibility of the chief detective of the School of Six-Fans.
What was more unexpected was that the new Four Super Arresters turned out to be the second master of the Taihang Mountain Village, "Fiend Blade" Ji Fangge.
Not only that, the third master of the Taihang Mountain Village, "Yama with Blade" Bu Qianlong also became the chief detective of the Henan Province.
According to the grapevine, the first master of the Taihang Mountain Village, "Headless in the World" Ke Yanyue, became the Imperial Minister of the Zhou Kingdom. However, because it was only a nominal position, it was not publicized.
In this way, the people in Jianghu understood that this time Taihang Mountain Village should have some kind of relationship with the Zhou Kingdom. Both sides directly joined hands. To be precise, Taihang Mountain Village should have become one of the vassals of the Zhou Kingdom, working for the Zhou Kingdom. However, similar to Esoteric Buddhism, they maintained a lot of independent power.
The people in Jianghu could not help but sigh. Although Ji Haodian played himself to death, the strength of the Zhou Kingdom did not decline at all. Instead, it was much stronger than before.
For the rest of the time, Su Xin assisted Tie Zhan in handling some affairs of the School of Six-Fans.
Because of Ji Haodian, there was some turbulence in Jianghu recently. Because of Ji Haodian, the 49 roads in Zhou Kingdom were not stable.
Perhaps Fang Jiuyuan and Liu Wuqian were afraid of Su Xin or Tie Zhan's revenge, so they did not come to the headquarters of Six Doors recently. Instead, they lived in seclusion. No one knew what they were planning, but neither Su Xin nor Tie Zhan cared about them.
These two fellows had completely lost their power. Their own power had already been squeezed to the extreme. Now, with the addition of Ji Fangge, one of the Four Great Super Arresters, who was also on the side of the Tie Clan and Su Xin, their words in the Six Fan School could be said to be completely useless.
If it were not for the fact that Tie Zhan was worried that his reputation would be affected if he kicked them out of Six Fan School, the two of them would have left a long time ago.
After all, Ji Yanxiu was not Ji Haodian. Ji Haodian could plant spies in Six Fan School to check and balance Tie Ao's power, but Ji Yanxiu did not have the guts to do so.
Although Ji Fangge, who had just taken office, was not weak, he was born in the wilderness and had never been involved in the affairs of the imperial court. Therefore, it would take a long time for Ji Fangge to completely familiarize himself with the way Six Fan School handled affairs.
By the time he finished dealing with these affairs of Six Fan School, three days had passed. However, at this time, Su Xin felt that something was wrong because Ji Yanxiu did not send anyone to look for him.
Ji Yanxiu had promised Su Xin to establish an independent force for him. Now that he had become the Crown Prince, he would definitely come to look for Su Xin as soon as possible in order to win over Su Xin.
However, three days had passed, but there was no movement from Ji Yanxiu. What did he mean?
A cold light flashed in Su Xin's eyes. He called Huang Bingcheng and asked, "Old Huang, the King of Shu, no, I should call him the Crown Prince now. Is there any movement from his side?"
Huang Bingcheng thought for a moment and said, "There is not much movement. The Crown Prince has just succeeded the throne. Now, he is using his power as the Regent to deal with some official affairs of the Zhou Kingdom.
Also, in order to expand his power, he has recruited a lot of people from Jianghu to be his trusted subordinates. This is very normal, and according to the information of Six Fan School, there are no suspicious people among them. "
Su Xin nodded and said directly, "Come with me to see the Crown Prince."
Huang Bingcheng was stunned, "Why are we going to see him?"
Su Xin smiled coldly and said, "To collect a debt, of course."
Now, Su Xin still hoped that the Crown Prince could keep his word. Otherwise, it would not be good for anyone if things got out of hand.
Ji Yanxiu was now in the Crown Prince's Residence, which was the residence of the former deposed Crown Prince, Ji Yanheng.
Although Ji Yanheng had been deposed, he was still the Crown Prince. Therefore, before a new Crown Prince was elected, Ji Yanheng had been living in the Crown Prince's Residence.
However, now that Ji Yanxiu had succeeded the throne, he immediately drove Ji Yanheng out of the Crown Prince's Residence and moved into the Crown Prince's Residence himself.
Ji Yanxiu's actions had attracted a lot of criticism in Shengjing. Some people in the Zhou Kingdom thought that Ji Yanxiu was a little too petty.
The throne is already yours. You should just obediently be the crown prince for a month. When the coronation ceremony is ready, you can directly ascend to the throne and become the emperor. Why do you still have to kick Ji Yanheng out and forcibly occupy his crown prince residence? Why?
Doing this will not show your dominance, it will only make people think that you are petty.
The two martial artists guarding the gate of the Crown Prince's Mansion were also very unfamiliar to Su Xin. Su Xin did not recognize them. They were not from the group of Bashu Path martial artists that followed Ji Yanxiu in the beginning.
As for the two disciples guarding the door, it was unknown if they really didn't know who Su Xin was, but when Su Xin was about to enter, the two of them stretched out their hands to stop him and shouted, "How dare you! Who dares to enter the Crown Prince's Residence without permission? "
Su Xin didn't say anything, but the look in his eyes grew colder.
Huang Bingcheng, who was standing to the side, revealed a murderous look. There were not many people in Shengjing who dared to speak to his boss like this. Were these two Postliminary Realm minions tired of living?
Su Xin naturally would not make a move against these two unruly servants. Just as Huang Bingcheng was about to teach them a lesson, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Insolence! Are you all blind? Don't you know Su Xin of Six Doors, Lord Su? "
Wen Yu walked out of the door and slapped the two of them. He then lectured them, "Keep your eyes open in the future! If you don't even know who to block and who not to block, what's the use of keeping you around? "
The two guarding warriors covered their mouths and did not dare to retort, but they were filled with a lot of resentment.
Since they were able to come here to guard the door, they were naturally skilled people. It was just that Lord Zhong Lou had given them a booklet. Inside the booklet were some descriptions and illustrations of the Great Zhou Dynasty's experts. If there was no one in the booklet, even if the Emperor of Heaven came, there was no need to care. They would still follow the rules.
When facing the people in the booklet, they would naturally treat them politely and personally welcome them into the residence. However, for some unknown reason, there was no illustration or description of Su Xin, the leader of the Four Great Super Arresters. This also led to the two of them not knowing who Su Xin was.
After lecturing the two of them, Wen Yu cupped his hands and smiled at Su Xin, "Lord Su, please calm down. These are some new servants of the Shu King's Residence. They do not know the rules and need to be taught a lesson. That is why they offended you, Lord Su."
For some reason, there was a hint of reluctance in Wen Yu's smile.
Su Xin said lightly, "It just so happens that I want to see His Highness, the Crown Prince. Eunuch Wen, please send a message for me."
Wen Yu smiled and said, "Lord Su, of course there is no need to be so polite. I can just bring Lord Su there."
With that, Wen Yu directly led Su Xin into the Crown Prince's Residence.
After seeing Ji Yanxiu again, Su Xin really felt that the King of Shu had changed a lot.
From the King of Shu to the Crown Prince, he seemed to be shrouded in a layer of nobility. Even his own aura became extremely strong.
Seeing Su Xin, Ji Yanxiu smiled and said, "Minister Su, why do you have the time to come here today?"
Su Xin frowned imperceptibly. Ji Yanxiu was a little too complacent, wasn't he? He had not even ascended the throne and was already calling him Minister Su? Furthermore, he had also changed the way he addressed him, directly calling him Minister Su.
Logically speaking, as the Crown Prince, he naturally could not call himself "Zhen". This was against the rules.
In ancient times, some emperors called themselves "Gu", but it was later abolished. Now, Ji Yanxiu was using it. If Ji Haodian was still alive, he would be courting death. But now that Ji Haodian was dead, no one would find fault with him.
Su Xin also did not understand why Ji Yanxiu was so anxious. Su Xin only cupped his hands and asked, "I remember Your Highness said before that I have the qualifications to establish my own force. I wonder if this promise still holds true?"
Ji Yanxiu immediately said, "Yes! Of course it does! Actually, even if Lord Su did not mention this matter, I still wanted to discuss it with you, Lord Su.
In my opinion, the Six Fan Gate's current strength is actually only hidden in the dark, which is a little insufficient.
Therefore, I am preparing to establish a hidden organization called the Dragon Shadow Army. It is meant to be my claws and shadows in the dark, specializing in spying for information and concealing assassinations.
Although spying for information overlaps with the Six Fan Gate, the most important purpose of the Dragon Shadow Army is to train assassins to make up for the lack of strength in the Six Fan Gate.
I have decided that the Dragon Shadow Army will be led by Minister Su, while the Deputy Manager will be led by Lou Quanzhong and a few people I trust.
You are all my loyal subjects. I believe that everyone will be able to develop the Dragon Shadow Army to a level that is not inferior to the Six Fan Gate in a short period of time! "
