A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1415

[Chapter 1404 King Yiheng]

Yuan Rong said with a smile: “So it is. According to this, after the success of the Northern Expedition, the fate of Dou Kui’s gang will come to an end?”

Qi Ning did not speak, but he understood in his heart that if the little emperor had a heart in the past Softness, then after this change, it is obvious that he will no longer be gullible with others.

Xiao Shaozong once gained the emperor’s trust and even participated in major military affairs, but in the end, it was the royal family member who had won the emperor’s trust to rebel. This must have been a big blow to the little emperor.

The Northern Expedition has not ended, but it is at an extremely critical juncture. At this time, if the emperor starts a purge, it will definitely cause violent turmoil in the court. , then the Northern Expedition will inevitably be in trouble because of the turmoil of the DPRK.

Of course, the emperor couldn’t trust Dou Kui’s group of people, but he really wouldn’t attack these people right now.

It’s just that since they are suspected by the emperor, the final fate of Dou Kui and others is actually doomed.

“By the way, how is the trade in the East China Sea going?” Qi Ning didn’t want to continue discussing the court situation with Yuan Rong, and changed the subject: “You are the governor of Haibo Division, and if the East China Sea trade is delayed for a day, it will cost a lot of money. Hua Hua’s money.”

Yuan Rong said, “My grandfather is injured, and I don’t want to talk about official business today. Since my grandfather asks, then…hehe, I will report it to the lower official.” After thinking for a while, Cai said: “It’s already June, and the first batch of ships was originally planned to set sail at the end of August. That’s because the wind news is just right to go to the south. However, because of Xiao Shaozong’s affairs, many things have been delayed. However, The East China Sea has not been greatly affected, and a large number of goods have already been shipped to the East China Sea. Although it has been delayed for a few days, if there is no accident, it can still sail in early September.”

“Don’t underestimate the trade with Nanyang.” Qi Ning sighed: “That will not only add a lot of silver to our Great Chu treasury, but also maintain friendly relations with the countries of Nanyang. If we can bring my Central Plains culture to Nanyang, Spread the word and let them accept our culture, at least we can ensure peace on the southern sea.” After a moment of indulgence, he continued: “With the East China Sea as a trading port, in the future, the sea can even be opened up to allow people from South China to come to our Great Chu for trade. , this is not only mutually beneficial, but also can surround the business prosperity of the East China Sea, and it is also beneficial to the local people.”

Yuan Rong nodded: “In the beginning, the trade in the East China Sea was directly controlled by the East China Sea family, and outside forces could not penetrate the needle. I can’t get in. Today, the trade is controlled by the imperial court. Although the merchants designated by the Haibo Division supply the goods, the fleet will become larger and the trade will become more and more prosperous in the future, and there will be more and more people participating in it. ”

I said before that those merchants who provide silver have the right to supply goods for several years.” Qi Ning said: “But this right will not continue forever.”

Yuan Rong said: “They also know this. After a

few years, Naturally, high quality and low price are still needed. Whoever has the best goods and the cheapest price will take the goods.” He smiled and said, “The merchants are the most savvy. Already planning for a rainy day, many merchants have already set up shop in the East China Sea, just waiting to participate in the trade in the future.”

Qi Ning smiled: “This is a good thing. Yuan Rong, you only need to do this one thing well in your life. The matter is enough to leave a name in future generations.”

“After two years of trade, I plan to go to Nanyang in person to see the customs and conditions there.” Yuan Rong said: “It’s a pity that the young master only It could be getting busier and busier, otherwise it would be a beautiful thing to go to Nanyang together.”

Qi Ning laughed and said, “You are a drunkard, not drinking.”

Yuan Rong got up and said, “Little Master, today will be yours.

Don’t bother anymore, I’ll give you a feast when you are healed!” Before

Qi Ning could speak, he saw Han Shou hurried in and said anxiously, “Master, there is someone from the palace, and the emperor has a plan. ”

“Is there a decree in the palace?” Qi Ning was stunned and frowned, “What decree?”

“It’s Eunuch Fan.” Han Shou said, “Eunuch Fan said that Eunuch Fan will go to the front yard to greet him, and he also asked. Can your grandfather get up?”

Yuan Rong asked in surprise: “It’s Fan Dehai? I thought he was killed by Xiao Shaozong.” Xiang Qining said, “Little grandfather, Fan Dehai is the eunuch most trusted by the emperor, since it is him I’m here to declare the decree in person,

I’m afraid this decree is unusual.”

At this time, Ximen Zhanying also entered the house, and when he saw Yuan Rong, he clasped his fists and saluted Yuan Rong. Seeing Yuan Rong, Ximen Zhanying immediately remembered that he was now. It wasn’t the official of Shenhou’s mansion, but the wife of Jinyi Qi’s family. She was a little embarrassed and bowed, so she said to Qi Ning: “Xianggong, Fan Gonggong is waiting in the yard, can you…can you get up? ?”

As long as Qi Ning doesn’t act violently, there is no big problem. This is the first order given to him by the palace after the rebellion. Qi Ning didn’t know what the emperor meant and said, “Zhan Ying, help me. Get dressed, I’ll take the order!”

Ximen Zhanying and Han Shou helped Qi Ning get up together, and then helped Qi Ning put on a robe, considering Qi Ning’s injury, he didn’t dare to move too much, let alone too fast, After tossing for a while, Qi Ning finally tidy up, and only then went to the front yard with the support of Ximen Zhanying.

Qi Ning saw that Fan Dehai was waiting in the courtyard with several little eunuchs, and he stepped forward and cupped his hands: “Let the father-in-law wait for a long time!”

Fan Dehai had already come up to him, holding an imperial decree in his right hand, and said with concern: “How is the father-in-law’s injury? Is it okay? It’s still early, so don’t worry.”

Qi Ning smiled: “It’s not a big deal. I’m relieved to see that the public servant is safe.”

Fan Dehai said gratefully, “I have the memory of the Lao Guo public. The traitor Xiao Shaozong ordered. People have locked up the Zajia, and they have suffered some hardships for a while, but fortunately, this low life has stayed. If the country had not ruled out a rebellion, the Zajia’s life would never have been saved.” He said softly: “The king is now Is it convenient to receive the order?”

“No problem, no problem.” Qi Ning was about to kneel down to receive the decree. Fan Dehai smiled and said, “There are two decrees. The first is an oral decree. If the sage has ordered it, it’s fine for the prince to stand and give the decree.” Zheng said: “The emperor asked for more information: Qi Ning, how is your injury?” Qi Ning was stunned, but still respectfully said:

“I am

all right, thank the emperor for your concern.”

I can’t even kneel, so my will has not been issued.” Fan Dehai said with a solemn expression: “No wonder I didn’t see you, I have a lot of things in the past few days, and after your injury is healed, I will naturally I will talk to you. It is estimated that there should be no problem for you to get out of bed and walk now, and it should not be a big problem if you kneel down, so I will give you this will today. After the order, you will rest for a few days and wait. Come back to the palace to give thanks.”

This vernacular came out of Fan Dehai’s mouth, and it was also the emperor’s oracle. Everyone looked at each other, some wanted to laugh but didn’t dare, so they could only bow their heads.

After he came out of the palace that day, Qi Ning had never communicated with the emperor, but when he heard these words, he felt very cordial, and said, “The minister leads the order!” Fan Dehai

smiled and

said, “The country Duke, there is a second will, Duke you…!”

Qi Ning knew what Fan Dehai meant, and after Ximen Zhanying and Han Shou supported Qi Ning to kneel on the left and right, they also knelt down. A group of people knelt down immediately, and then Fan Dehai launched the imperial decree and preached: “The emperor’s edict said: I have an unworthy minister Xiao Shaozong who does not think of the emperor’s kindness, and rebels and rebels. The Duke of Protector Qi Ning is not afraid of hardships and dangers, protects the country and defends the monarch. His loyalty and bravery can be seen in the sun and the moon. Fortunately, Qi Ning, the protector of the country, has been promoted to the king today, and the title is King Yiheng. I respect this!”

When Qi Ning heard the words “King Yiheng”, he was surprised and raised his head, but Fan Dehai said with a smile on his face: “Your Highness. Hurry up and give thanks!”

At this time, not only Qi Ning was surprised, but everyone present was shocked.

Since the founding of the Great Chu Kingdom, there have been many famous officials and brave generals, as well as many royal clansmen, but even among the royal clansmen, the only one who has been named a king is Xiao Zhang, the king of Huainan, let alone a king with a different surname.

The four hereditary marquis of the founding of the country are all outstanding people, but except for Sima Lan who was later promoted to duke, the other three were only hereditary marquis until their death.

Qi Ning is only twenty years old, and he has only been involved in court affairs for two short years. After inheriting the title of Marquis of Jinyi, he has since been promoted to Duke Huguo. This Duke Huguo has not worn his hat yet. Today, a decree came down , from the duke directly to the king.

Such a mighty Long En can be said to be unparalleled since the establishment of the dynasty.

Seeing Qi Ning’s shocked expression, Fan Dehai lowered his body and said softly, “Your Highness, since the founding of Emperor Taizu in this dynasty, there has not been a different surname to be named a King. Your Highness can be regarded as the first such case. Your lord’s love. Your lord must not let down such a mighty grace.” He rolled up the imperial decree in his hand and handed it to Qi Ning.

Qi Ning looked at the imperial decree in front of him, but did not reach out to receive it. After a moment of indulgence, he said: “Father-in-law, the emperor’s will, this minister…I really dare not accept it!”

“My lord, the emperor guessed that you would say this. “Fan Dehai smiled and said: “The emperor said, you must accept this will, otherwise it will be a crime of disobeying the edict, the prince is clear.”

Qi Ning hesitated for a while, and finally raised his hands with a serious expression.

, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com took over the decree, and the palace did not receive any reward for a few days. Qi Ning once thought that Longtai was playing tricks again, but who knew that such a shocking reward would be awarded.

A group of domestic servants kneeling behind Qi Ning were extremely happy.

Being a servant of the palace is naturally higher than being a servant of the prince.

Han Shou is also very happy. Since the Duke of Xiaoguo has been promoted to the rank of king, the number of fiefs will naturally increase greatly, and the quality of life in the palace will definitely improve.

“Furthermore, what the emperor means is that since the prince has been awarded the title of prince, this mansion is not suitable.” Fan Dehai said: “The largest mansion in the capital is the former Huainan palace, and it can be used as the prince’s residence by sending someone to repair it. Besides, the previous Sima Mansion was also very spacious and could be used as a palace with a little expansion. I don’t know what the prince means? It must be completed in three months, and the prince can move there.”

Qi Ning said this time very firmly: “Father-in-law, I am being favored by the prince, and I am too afraid to accept it. It is the residence of the three generations of the Qi family, and this minister has absolutely no intention of moving away.
