It was in the early morning of the dynasty, and the civil and military officials were all separated in order, holding jade wat in their hands, and performing great salutes.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live"
The emperor's powerful voice echoed in the hall, majestic and majestic.
"Recently, I have heard that there are frequent disturbances in the northwest, and barbarian invasions have seriously disturbed the people. Do you have a way to govern it?"
"The emperor, barbarian barbaric and extensive, repeatedly talk about peace and overstep the rules to disturb the people, in the end, it is not polite, backward thinking, Weichen thought that he could send some reasonable officials to patiently guide and educate, and then in the northwest can set up more schools and Accords, teaching barbarians to read and reason is a long-term strategy. When Shangguan Boyi, the prime minister of the dynasty, took the lead in speaking, his eyebrows were full of virtuousness, and a mighty aura naturally surrounded him.
"Yes, Aiqing's foresight is indeed a good strategy. The Emperor nodded, his eyes shining approvingly.
Wechen disagreed. A voice interjected, it was the ninth prince, he was the emperor's cousin, his biological father King Pingyang and Emperor Taishang were brothers, and the emperor often had to respect him a few points because of the etiquette of his seniors.
"Oh, what does Brother Wang think?"
"The minister thought that the barbarian invasion had disturbed the people many times, and he had not repented many times, and the pure teaching of etiquette could not influence them, and the minister thought that he could take strong measures to completely subdue them, so the minister volunteered to personally lead the troops to the northwest border to quell the rebellion. The Nine Princes happened to have the opposite strategy of the Prime Minister, with a bit of arrogance and evil charm in his tone, and glanced contemptuously at the white-clothed Prime Minister kneeling on the side, he was dressed in black like ink, contrary to the justice and vastness of the Prime Minister, the Nine Kings seemed to have an irrepressible evil spirit and killing intent.
The emperor pondered for a long time, of course he knew in his heart that the prime minister's strategy was a long-term strategy, but the nine kings had repeatedly performed miraculous feats, as the general of the Zhenguo, holding military power, and his father was the king of Pingyang
"What Brother Wang said is reasonable, then this matter will be handed over to Brother Wang to deal with, do not act cautiously, and do not rush to suppress and cause greater turmoil. ”
"The Ministers obey the Holy Decree. The Nine Kings bowed their heads and replied loudly, their voices full of pride. When the other courtiers saw that the emperor had three points for him, they did not dare to speak falsely and remained silent until they retreated.
After retiring from the dynasty, Prime Minister Shangguan Boyi frowned and walked down the palace steps, bowing his head in contemplation, full of worry. These nine princes have always been kind and polite, and have never been hostile to anyone, but two years ago, his temperament changed greatly, he became obedient and arrogant, and an evil aura on his body lasted for a long time, and sure enough, he pointed the finger at him today.
"Why did the prime minister leave in such a hurry, so that this king could be easily found. I saw a black gold-inlaid brocade robed Nine Kings slowly walked over and said to him in a contemptuous tone.
"It's rude to the minister, I didn't notice His Majesty the Nine Kings, His Majesty the Nine Kings, please go along. Shangguan Boyi saluted respectfully, let his body come to the side, and his tone was modest.
"Presumably the prime minister is old and dizzy, getting more and more confused, often and the emperor put forward some useless suggestions, everything is and now it doesn't work, now we pay attention to relying on "strength" to speak" The nine kings glanced at him meaningfully, the prime minister only felt that his heart was tight, this naked threat he would not be unaware, now the nine kings hold heavy power, if they want to go further, they must first eradicate their older generation of virtuous forces.
"The eighth day of the next month is the birthday banquet of the king, and I hope that the prime minister will get together. "The Nine Princes used an affirmative tone instead of a question sentence, which was extremely oppressive.
Shangguan Boyi chuckled in his heart, knowing that this banquet was very likely to be a Hongmen banquet, but he still replied quietly, "The minister will come to visit on time"
It wasn't until the Nine Princes walked away that the tight strings in Shangguan Boyi's heart relaxed, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
Shangguan Jinrong was studying poetry and books attentively, but he heard someone outside the door, "The master is back." ”
Hurriedly put down the poetry book in his hand, ran to the door, and took Shangguan Boyi's hand into the house, their father and daughter were already close, and their father often taught her by word and deed, which was bound to train her to become a Xiangmen.
"Jinrong, you come to the study with me" The father's expression changed from usual, his eyes were full of worry, and he lost his usual calmness.
Jin Rong knew that something big was going to happen, so his heart tightened, and he hurriedly followed his father into the study.
"Now that there are changes in the DPRK and China, the ninth master holds heavy power and slanders the virtuous, your second sister has been raised in another garden since she was a child, and her heart is very different from yours, and she is indifferent to fame and fortune, I am afraid that I can only let you enter the palace earlier to help my father stabilize his power. Shangguan Boyi said earnestly to his daughter-in-law.
"Daddy, rest assured, Jin Rongding will enter the palace as soon as possible and live up to his father's hopes. Jin Rong's eyes were firm, and he knew in his heart that the disputes between the government and the opposition would definitely harm the family, and he must enter the palace to become the phoenix among people in order to help the family.
"That's good" Shangguan Boyi looked at her with great satisfaction and patted her shoulder, but the worry in his eyes still did not decrease.
When Nine Kings Xuanyuan Ling Wu returned to the mansion, it was already late at night, he was dressed in black, his eyes were like wolves, his expression was evil and dissolute, and his whole body seemed to have a faint invisible red blood mist.
He walked into his dormitory with a satisfied face, the corners of his mouth left some traces of blood that had just eaten those people, looking at the unfamiliar face in the mirror inexplicably felt disgusted, everyone only knew that he was now the nine kings in power in the court, but he didn't know that his real body was a black wolf who had been practicing for a hundred years, his real name was Swallowing the Moon, ten years ago he happened to hunt by chance and saw the nine kings who were hunting alone at that time, and a thought in his heart rose to possess him, saw his erosive luxury, and completely fell in love with this life, one attachment is two years, now he has long forgotten that he is a wild wolf in the mountains, only knows that he enjoys his noble status today, and lives as luxurious as gold。
His ultimate goal is to eat the useless emperor, take power and usurp the throne to become the emperor of the people, who would have thought that my black wolf devouring the moon could become the emperor and gain power in the world.
"Hahaha" He let out an irrepressible crazy laugh, his expression was arrogant, his pupils turned bloodthirsty red, his fierce face was exposed, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be flowing with water, which made people frightened to the core.
"Come, call me a beautiful woman to come to bed!" The black wolf only shouted loudly outside, but the attendants outside were so frightened that they trembled, and they hurriedly sent someone to find the Oiran Fang Crown and send it to the Nine Kings' bedroom.
"Lord Wang!" a woman with eyes like silk and a waist as graceful as a water snake sat in the arms of the Nine Kings, holding a wine glass to salute him, and tried her best to tease and seduce.
"Beauty is so fragrant!" The Nine Princes buried themselves in her snow-white neck and took a deep breath, causing the beauty in her arms to exclaim again and again.
"Nasty," Oiran pretended to be angry and patted him with her jade hand.
"The beauty is so beautiful and delicious, I can't help it" Yuyue only felt that her throat was itching, and her saliva continued.
"Come on," Oiran offered to lie on the bed and seduce him.
He finally seemed to be unable to bear it, and pounced on her snow-white neck fiercely, and suddenly saw blood splatter, and the Oiran only shook violently a few times before losing his breath, just a pair of eyes staring at him in disbelief, dead and blind.
"What should I do, sure enough, the blood of the beauty is better to drink. In the middle of the ring, the Nine Kings wiped away a trace of blood from their lips, and secretly blamed themselves for not controlling the demonic nature, and a bright moon hung high outside the house, and they witnessed this terrifying and bloody scene wordlessly.
