In the waterside pavilion of Thatched Cottage Villa, Guo Man stood alone, waiting anxiously.
The Ghost Doctor and her entourage had already arrived at Thatched Cottage Villa. They were staying in the guest house outside the villa, waiting to go to the fifth domain with them.
This was Niu Youdao's intention. He wanted to keep the Ghost Doctor for Thatched Cottage Villa. In the future, when they went to the fifth domain, the Ghost Doctor would be inseparable from Thatched Cottage Villa.
Niu Youdao would not interfere in anything after they went to the fifth domain, but before that, he would leave some people behind for Thatched Cottage Villa.
Guo Man was secretly invited here. She was very nervous when she found out that Niu Youdao wanted to see her. This was because she had never seen Niu Youdao in person. Niu Youdao's current status was enough to make her tremble, and she did not know what Niu Youdao's temper was like.
Not long after, Niu Youdao appeared, followed by Yun Ji.
Guo Man hurriedly bowed. "Guo Man greets Daoye."
She had never seen the real person, but she had seen a fake one. She recognized Niu Youdao the moment he appeared.
"No need for formalities." Niu Youdao laughed and waved his hand, gesturing for her to sit. She did not dare to sit, and Niu Youdao did not force her. After sitting, he nodded and praised her. "I finally get to see you in person, Guo Man. Not bad, you have done well all these years."
Guo Man hurriedly said, "It's all because of Daoye's teachings. Guo Man does not dare to claim credit."
Niu Youdao said, "Good is good. Your contributions cannot go unnoticed. No need to be humble. Do you know why I asked you to come here? "
Guo Man was puzzled. "Guo Man is listening to instructions."
Niu Youdao said, "No instructions. You have to be rewarded for your contributions. I don't know what to reward you. Tell me, what do you want?"
So it was this. Guo Man hesitated, then shook her head. "I don't want anything."
Niu Youdao sighed and smiled at Yun Ji. "You say you don't want anything? How can that be?" He turned back to Guo Man and said, "You must have some requests, right? Just say it, as long as I can do it, I will try my best to satisfy you."
Guo Man bit her lip. In the face of the other party's encouraging gaze, she finally mustered her courage and said, "This subordinate doesn't want any reward. I just hope that Mister Heartless doesn't know that I was planted by his side. This subordinate wants to truly stay by Mister Heartless' side."
Niu Youdao was stunned. He felt that the other party's words were a little confusing.
Yun Ji smiled, seeming to understand a woman's thoughts even faster. She bent down and whispered a few words into his ear.
After Niu Youdao heard this, he laughed heartily, nodded and said, "Very well, I will fulfill your wish, as you wish!" Turning his head to Yun Ji, he said, "You handle this matter!"
Yun Ji nodded. "Alright."
Guo Man was overjoyed. She cupped her hands and said, "Thank you, Daoye!"
After she excused herself and left, Niu Youdao got up and walked to the edge of the pool. He asked, "Has Linghu Qiu sent me a letter yet?"
Yun Ji replied, "No, he has already brought the people from the Heaven and Earth Sect to the Endless Desert."
With his hands behind his back, Niu Youdao gazed into the distance. Unlike his other sworn brothers, Linghu Qiu didn't come looking for him, nor did he send him a letter. It was unknown what he was thinking …
Time flew. In the blink of an eye, the migration was nearing its end.
Generally speaking, there were more than two million people who had migrated into the fifth domain. The population was close to three million, and most of them were ordinary people.
Shang Chaozong had almost finished setting up the framework of the world. There were many people who wanted to make Shang Chaozong the Emperor. However, before Niu Youdao said anything, Shang Chaozong didn't dare to take the initiative to ascend the throne.
In reality, Shang Chaozong, the Regent, had already become the backbone of the imperial court.
Some people wanted to come to the Thatched Cottage Villa to persuade him, and some even wanted to use the method of death to remonstrate. However, they were all stopped by Shang Chaozong. Shang Chaozong sent his men to block the outer perimeter of the Thatched Cottage Villa to prevent people from entering and disturbing the villa.
Niu Youdao didn't agree to it, and Shang Chaozong was in a state of anxiety. He didn't know if Niu Youdao had other intentions. He couldn't let others say it, and neither could he. He couldn't just run over and say that he couldn't wait, right?
Niu Youdao didn't promise to return the favor, but now that he had promised to return the favor, it made things difficult for Shang Chaozong.
Finally, someone suitable came to the mountain. It was Meng Shan Ming.
Of course, he also found an excuse to come. Niu Youdao's student, Xia Lingpei, had always wanted to visit his teacher. Meng Shan Ming brought Zhuang Hong and her son along with him.
It has to be said that Meng Shan Ming was a suitable persuader. Niu Youdao was quite respectful to him, and he personally appeared at the entrance to the villa to welcome them.
Xia Lingpei was very excited. His teacher is really incredible now, and he almost knelt down to greet him.
The group arrived at the waterside pavilion and sat down. They chatted for a while, and after the others left, Meng Shan Ming finally revealed his intention. "Daoye, a snake without a head will not work, and soldiers without a leader will be in chaos. The governance of the secular world still needs a leader. I wonder if Daoye has someone in mind?"
Niu Youdao smiled. "Didn't I tell Princess Consort about the person I have in mind? Didn't Princess Consort tell Prince? "
The old Meng Shan Ming was stunned.
The battle with Jin Yi was still manageable, as he had the help of 100,000 crow generals. But the battle with Han Yi took a lot of effort, and he looked even older. He couldn't hide the fact that he was past his prime.
Niu Youdao personally poured tea for him. "I told Princess Consort to exchange this world for Prince's younger sister. Could it be that Prince Prince doesn't agree? "
Meng Shan Ming knew this, but he pretended to have just found out, and said, "I wonder if Daoye and Princess Consort have confirmed their status?"
The two of them didn't confirm their status, and no one knew if it was a success or not. Shang Chaozong had tried many times, but Shang Shuqing also said that their relationship had not reached that stage. It was tantamount to the failure of the exchange. What should Shang Chaozong do? Shang Chaozong couldn't show his intention of exchanging his younger sister in front of Niu Youdao.
Even though Shang Chaozong had a reason to comfort himself that it was for the sake of his younger sister, it didn't work out.
Niu Youdao said, "As long as Prince agrees, the rest will be a private matter between me and Princess Consort. No one else needs to worry about it."
Meng Shan Ming heaved a sigh of relief. "Daoye has this intention, but the world doesn't know about it. If Thatched Cottage Villa can announce it publicly, it will calm the hearts of the people, and it will be very beneficial to the people's recovery! Daoye moved all the cultivators into the Fifth Domain, which shows that Daoye cares about the people's heart. " He cupped his hands together. "I beg you, for the sake of the people's livelihood, please Daoye will calm the hearts of the people as soon as possible."
Niu Youdao nodded slightly. "It's actually not a bad thing if some things are not made clear. It's easier for Prince to observe people's thoughts. But since Marshal Meng has spoken, fine, when Wangye holds court, I will send someone to the court to ask Wangye to ascend to the throne as soon as possible! "
Meng Shan Ming suddenly understood. So this was it. Meng Shan Ming was overjoyed. "I thank Daoye on behalf of Prince and the people!"
Niu Youdao waved his hand and gestured for Meng Shan Ming. "Have some tea."
Meng Shan Ming thanked him, but he didn't know that Niu Youdao had another reason for not agreeing.
This reason might sound despicable, but it was because he hadn't confirmed it with Shang Shuqing yet. He wanted to take it slow so that Shang Shuqing could see Shang Chaozong's intention, so that he could cut off Shang Shuqing's memory and kidnap Shang Shuqing.
Of course, he couldn't tell Shang Shuqing what he had done.
It seemed to be working. Shang Shuqing greeted Meng Shan Ming and then excused himself. He seemed to have guessed Meng Shan Ming's intention and didn't want to face him …
Meng Shan Ming returned the next day. Shang Chaozong was overjoyed when he got a clear answer. Sure enough, Commander Meng's presence was the best.
Niu Youdao did not go back on his word. He did send someone to attend the court meeting of the Shang Dynasty Sect on behalf of Niu Youdao and the Thatched Cottage Villa to urge the Shang Dynasty Sect to ascend to the throne as soon as possible in order to calm the hearts of the people.
The Shang Family's people were overjoyed. They immediately begged Shang Chaozong to ascend to the throne as soon as possible. Shang Chaozong couldn't refuse their kindness.
As soon as Shang Chaozong agreed, everyone cheered. Shang Yongzhong was the first to jump out and asked for the location of the new capital. His speech was impassioned!
As for where the new capital should be, some of them already had a plan in mind. In the end, it was decided to be the former capital of Qin Kingdom!
The framework for many things had been set up before, so the execution was naturally fast and vigorous …
In the capital of the Southern Prefecture, many officials were busy moving to the new capital.
In the Zi Mansion, Jia Wuqun invited Zi Pingxiu, who was now the Right Prime Minister of Yan Kingdom. The Left Prime Minister was wise.
Jia Wuqun didn't beat around the bush. He wrote a line of words: The Prime Minister overthrew two emperors. How can he be the Prime Minister again? If he retires early, he will have accomplished his mission. Not only will he be able to keep his wealth for the rest of his life, but he can also leave a path for future generations. Lan Ruoting is the hope of the people. If he doesn't retreat, he will be in trouble.
Zi Pingxiu twirled his beard and didn't say anything. As someone who had tasted the taste of power, it was inevitable that he felt conflicted.
But in the end, he was persuaded by Jia Wuqun. He spent the whole night writing a memorial.
However, the next day, he found that the Left Prime Minister Gao Jiancheng didn't appear again. Instead, he sent someone to write a memorial on his behalf. He said that he had fallen last night and found that he was old. He didn't have enough energy and requested to retire!
Zi Pingxiu was speechless. He found that Gao Jiancheng was even more ruthless. Gao Jiancheng simply threw his hands away and didn't come. Unlike him, who stupidly came to the court to face it, he found that he was a step too late. Gao Jiancheng had gone ahead of him, so he didn't dare to take out his memorial.
Gao Jiancheng had just fallen and asked to retire. Zi Pingxiu immediately followed suit. The Left and Right Prime Ministers wanted to retire at the same time. What was going on? Wasn't it too obvious? Was he dissatisfied with Shang Chaozong's imminent ascension?
Zi Pingxiu could only hold back the memorial hidden in his sleeve. At least, he didn't dare to take it out in a short period of time.
But Gao Jiancheng's behavior did remind him that he had made up his mind to leave. He no longer had any thoughts of staying in power …
Gao Jiancheng had fallen. Naturally, many people went to visit him. Shang Chaozong even personally went and asked Zhao Xiongge to help treat him.
External injuries were nothing. They were easy to treat. But Gao Jiancheng's mind wasn't clear. He was muddle-headed. In just one night, he couldn't even recognize people.
He insisted on being muddle-headed. No matter how high Zhao Xiongge's cultivation was, he wouldn't be able to cure him.
His mind was muddle-headed to this extent. It didn't seem right to force himself to be an official. Even if someone wanted to help and persuade him to stay, they didn't know what to say.
Zi Pingxiu also came to visit. After sitting beside the bed and dismissing the outsiders, he moved his mouth close to Gao Jiancheng's ear and whispered, "Brother Gao, there are no outsiders here. Don't act in front of me."
"Oh? Oh … "Gao Jiancheng's words were unclear. His eyes were unfocused.
No matter what he said, he couldn't wake up. Zi Pingxiu was furious. He swung his sleeves and left.
