The next day, the people of the whole city were very excited, just yesterday the county lord of Qingning suddenly announced the day of the sacrifice to the sky, and they naturally looked forward to the result of the sacrifice to the sky. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info worship heaven is set up in the highest place of the whole city - the god platform, all matters are prepared by the word side by side king and the Ministry of Rites, hundreds of officials are neatly distributed on both sides of the corridor, only the emperor, side by side king, prime minister and several other important ministers remain on the god platform. Huang Yao ascended to the high prayer shrine, retreated after the incense, and looked at the sky with everyone.

"Tranquility...... Will it really rain?" Huang Yao couldn't help but ask, if it didn't, he was afraid that his throne would really be in jeopardy.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. An Ning looked at the sky with a smile, and he felt a little relieved for no reason.

"Hey, it looks like it's raining, isn't it?"

"I think so. ”

"It's raining!"

As the sound outside sounded, the drizzle became clearer and clearer, and it became heavier and heavier, the sound was like thunder, and all the officials looked at the pouring rain in disbelief, and the original worries on Huang Yao's face were washed away with joy, and he looked up to the sky and laughed: "It's raining! Providence is obedient!——"

"Congratulations to our emperor, conforming to the mandate of heaven is the emperor!" all the officials knelt on the ground and saluted loudly.

"Okay!

An Ning on the side just watched quietly, and a bleak smile slowly appeared on his face. The imperial court couldn't help but tighten when he saw it, and said with concern: "An Ning? what's wrong, but what's uncomfortable?"

Huang Yao, who was excited, also noticed it, and hurriedly asked, "An Ning, what's wrong?"

"Actually, I don't believe in the so-called mandate of heaven at all, I only believe in man-made, but those people are different," An Ning took a few steps forward to the edge ......of the platform and looked at the cheering people below and said softly, "You see, they are so happy, they don't understand any big truths, they only believe in the sky." The people are the water, the king is the boat, the water can carry the boat, and it can also overturn the boat, so even if I don't believe it, I can only let the heavens respond to them. Speaking of this, he took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, "What they are doing is just a peace of mind, but now that the rain is falling, the people are at ease, and this dynasty is stable." ”

Several people present were shocked, not only for the calm and calm figure, but also for the words that she said lightly. "The people are the water, the king is the boat, the water can carry the boat, and it can also overturn the boat. "Since ancient times, the most troublesome problem for emperors is how to govern the people, and how to deal with the relationship between the monarch and the people has become a big problem. This woman is really a wizard of governance!

"An Ning, how many amazing talents do you have?" Huang Yao said with a complicated gaze. This woman had a very high military talent, she recovered several cities in a short time, and then opened up territory for the imperial kingdom; her martial arts were unfathomable, and she was able to sweep away thousands of armies by herself; she was extremely talented, and she was perfect in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, and tea. Now that she has broken through the roots of the monarch and the people in a few words, she can be regarded as a wizard of governing the country, how many unknown talents does she have?

An Ning turned around, the hem of her skirt opened a beautiful arc, and looked at him with a faint smile: "Then will you be afraid of me, will you be afraid of my high merit?"

"No, it won't. He vetoed, his deep eyes locked on her, "I doubt everyone in the imperial kingdom, but I alone will not doubt you, Anning." He knew very well in his heart that if this woman intended to be the emperor, then she could easily do it with her ability and power, but she didn't; he was the new emperor, and the foundation of the country was not stable, and her status among the people and the appeal of the court were enough to overthrow him, and she recommended herself as the emperor, presumably no one would refute it, but she still didn't, but lived her own life, and even responded to the phase, pacified the court for him, and now helped him successfully stabilize the hearts of the people. Such a woman who is afraid of avoiding the throne, has the grace to save his life and help him sit on the throne, it is too late for him to be grateful and cherished, how can he be jealous?

"Really?" An Ning looked at him and smiled, tears faintly welling up in her eyes.

"An Ning, I once told Ah Ting, I was very scared when I first sat on the throne, but I didn't know who was sincere, only Ah Ting made me feel at ease, but the **** stood safely on the palace, but I was extremely relieved. With you and Atin in charge, I'm no longer afraid. Huang Yao frowned and smiled.

An Ning smiled comfortably and sighed: "It's good, the emperor is not afraid of me." ”

The royal court stretched out his hand to hold her shoulder and said with pity: "Don't think about these things in the future, it's not good for your health." An Ning smiled and bowed his head, but there was a dizziness in front of him, he hurriedly caught her limp body, and said in a panic, "An Ning?!"

"It's okay, it's too cold on a rainy day......" An Ning smiled weakly.

Huang Ting looked at her pale face and subconsciously tightened his arms, and said distressedly: "How are you going to live in the cold winter?"

"Just stay in the house. An Ning smiled slightly, and called softly, "Qing Zhe." ”

"Miss. Qing Zhen came out in response, looked at the hand on her shoulder with a deep gaze, and then said expressionlessly, "It's time to go back." ”

"Good. As soon as An Ning took a step, Qing Zhi came over, took off his coat and put it on her, and then picked her up and disappeared into the rain.

Huang Ting tightened his fingers and whispered without emotion: "Ah Yao, I'll go back first." The moon-white figure slowly left, a little bit of loneliness in the coldness. Huang Yao's dark eyes looked at the inseparable rain curtain, the thick fog in his eyes was so thick that it seeped into people, and after a long time, he whispered: "Anning, how many people have fallen for you......"

As soon as Nan Jiuxi returned to the southern country, he was announced into the palace before he had time to rest, as if he was discussing something important, and the ministers in the palace all looked at the scarlet figure and slowly walked into the hall, always wearing a red shirt that was more dazzling than fire, still looking lazy and demonic, and a casual appearance, but they all knew that there was a dangerous and deadly aura under the smiling phoenix eyes. Nan Jiuxi, the god of war general of the southern country, has been fighting on the battlefield since he was twelve years old, and has not been defeated since then.

"Nine breaths, I'm back!" Nan Xuan, the emperor of the Southern Kingdom, looked at the person who raised his eyebrows and smiled lazily in the seat, his eyes turned deep and deep.

"Well, why did the emperor urgently summon me into the palace?" Nan Jiuxi asked lazily.

Seeing the fleeting tiredness on the man's face, Nan Xuan pursed his lips and asked, "Do you know the recent rumors in Nanguo?"

"I don't know. ”

"Oh, there are a lot of people who say you ...... Do you want to seek power and usurp the throne!" Nan Xuan put his hand on his chin and asked, "What do you have in mind?"

The hall was silent, the silence was terrifying, and all the officials were worried, for fear that this God of War general would ruin this place with a violent anger, and they would definitely die when the time came! Nan Jiuxi glanced at the hundred officials who had bowed their heads in the shape of turtles, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his lips, he was really not afraid of death, and he actually dared to come directly at him? Retracted his gaze and looked straight at the person in the upper seat and asked lightly, "What does the emperor think?"

"What do you mean?"

"Heh, if the emperor believes those remarks, no matter how much the minister says, it will be useless, if he doesn't believe it, why should the minister say more?" Nan Jiuxi's face was still a lazy smile, and he didn't seem to care that it was about his own life.

Nan Xuan was slightly stunned, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "You're right, I really don't believe it......"

All the officials were stunned, and the emperor believed in General Nan like this? Nan Jiuxi tugged at the corners of his lips and said lightly: "Then, the minister will go back to the house to rest first." ”

Nan Xuan answered, Nan Jiuxi turned to leave, the originally casual and lazy phoenix eyes turned sharply bloodthirsty, and the civil and military officials present took a few steps back, he pulled the corners of his lips and strode away, they were still apprehensive. And when the obsidian figure disappeared in the palace, a famous minister dared to step forward and ask, "Does the emperor really believe that General Nan has no intention of seeking power and usurping the throne?"

"What, what doubts does Fang Aiqing have?" Nan Xuan smiled playfully.

"No... No, there must be a reason for it, and those rumors must be investigated. ”

"Oh, yes, then leave this matter to Aiqing to deal with it all. ”

“…… Be. ”

Looking at the minister whose face changed sharply and was helpless, Nan Xuan looked away lightly and looked at the door of the main hall vaguely, if Nan Jiuxi really wanted to seek power and usurp the throne, he was only afraid that this position would be within reach, but he hated this position deeply, and he was ...... What should he do with that man?

After Nan Jiuxi returned to the General's Mansion, he locked himself in the room, and never stepped out of the door except for three meals, until Zhuang Qian came to the door two days later and pulled him out of the room. Zhuang Qian, the son of Zhuang Zhe, the secretary of the Ministry of War, has always been good friends with Nan Jiuxi, and can be regarded as one of his few close friends in the south. The two of them put wine on the table in the courtyard to drink, Zhuang Qian looked at Nan Jiuxi, who kept pouring wine, and couldn't help but quip: "Why are you bored in the room as soon as you come back, this is not like you!"

"Then how do you want to be like me?" Nan Jiuxi smiled casually.

Zhuang Qian frowned and asked, "Did you encounter anything when you sent Feng Guo to envoy?"

Nan Jiuxi's hands stiffened, and then he sighed with a smile: "It's a lot of things." ”

"Then what is it that makes you not look like yourself?" Zhuang Qian couldn't help but be curious, Nan Jiuxi in the past was the most heartless, and he was outrageously lazy, but the danger of demonic Ye was still infiltrating. But now that the color of laziness and demonic smelting has faded, only dead silence and sadness remain, such a Nanjiu breath is something he has never seen before.

"Humility. Nan Jiu sighed, his deep gaze looking at the ethereal sky, "I seem to have lost my heart." ”
