Six days after Shirakawa entered the imperial capital, the Far Eastern headquarters army led by Shirokawa Shu also arrived in the imperial capital, accompanied by the commander-in-chief, Zichuan Ning. Naturally, a lively welcome ceremony is inevitable. The crowd cheered, and thousands of people emptied the alley, welcoming the head of the family back to the capital.

Sitting in the carriage, seeing the enthusiastic cheering and smiling faces outside the window, the noisy military music and drumming, and then remembering the embarrassment of being forced to flee in a panic, Zi Chuanning was so excited that he burst into tears.

"Uncle, I'm back. The imperial capital is still surnamed Zichuan! ”

Although the plot of Gao Xiang of the princess's restoration is being staged next to him, Zichuan Xiu seems a little indifferent. He didn't sit in the same carriage as Zi Chuanning. Although the latter strongly invited him to enjoy the much-anticipated honor, Shikawa Xiu was really insensitive to waving at the crowd of enthusiastic fans in the carriage - he had experienced such occasions no less than Shichuan Ning, but he preferred to sit in a quiet place and drink tea if possible.

The convoy went straight to the governor's mansion. Bai Chuan sat opposite Zi Chuan Xiu and reported: "The imperial capital is under the control of our army. We have already obtained the information of the General Command Office, the Military Affairs Department, the Supervision Department, the Governor's Office, and other confidential departments. The Administration Department, the Finance Department, the Logistics Department and other departments are also under our control, and we need to send our logistics administrative staff to take over.

"In addition, we have carried out an inventory and inventory of the state treasury, the inner treasury, the military affairs department, and the war readiness storage warehouses of the Supervision Office, but the situation is not ideal. The amount of gold that existed in the treasury was only half a ton, and the amount of silver was twelve. According to the warehouse staff, since the rebellion of Dilin, the rebels have continuously withdrawn more than 100 tons of gold and silver from the treasury, and now there is only so much left. ”

Zichuan Xiu smiled: "I'm not an expert, but I've usually heard Ming Yu say it." Precious metals are required as collateral for the issuance of currency. But what we have in stock now ...... It is estimated that only straw paper can be issued. ”

"So, my lord, this ......"

"Leave it to Ming Yu to be responsible. He did well in the Far East, so let him try it on the side of the Zichuan family. If you don't have any experience, let him talk to Goshen about it. Tell me how people used to do it. If it doesn't work, let him come to me. ”

"Yes. Also, many people in the imperial capital have been entangled with the rebels, including senators, nobles, wealthy businessmen, and even officials. Among them, the highest official rank is Goshan, as well as some high-ranking generals of the Central Army, and among the elders, Speaker Xiao Ping is the leader, as well as those high-ranking nobles - please ask your lordship. What should be done with these people? ”

"Goshan, leave it to A-Ning to decide, she's the chief. We have to be respectful. If Aning is willing to let her go, it will naturally be the best. If Aning wants to kill her, you will secretly rescue her. Governing the country is different from fighting wars, and we are very short of talents like Goshan; Xiao Ping is a person who is inclined to us, and Chief Lin has already reported it to me, and this person must be protected. As for the other nobles of the Senate, you can just watch it. Pick some places that are related to the Ma family, and some that we couldn't get along with before, and dispose of them all at once, so as to supplement our military expenses. As for the side dukes of the Zichuan family......"

Zi Chuanxiu paused, shook his head, and said, "Look at their own performance." If they were honest, they would have survived. If they are restless. Dare to jump out and talk to His Royal Highness Ning about any inheritance...... Then you're good to go. ”

"Yes. Xia Guan understood. ”

In a few words, Zichuan Xiu made a decision to set the country's economic lifeline. gave Shirakawa the authority to kill and take it, and Shirakawa was not surprised at all. It is a misconception that high-level people make decisions that are very deliberate, deliberate, and subject to rigorous procedures. Treat official affairs as seriously as if facing a great enemy, and that is only a low-level civil servant. The real real power of the high-ranking people, with a few words, can determine the life and death of people, and can determine the rise and fall of the family and country.

"My lord, there is one more thing to report: Lin Xiujia and Di Di are missing. The lower officials failed to find them. ”

"Huh?" When he heard this topic, which was not related to national events, Zichuan Xiu was moved: "What's the matter? ”

When he knew that Lin Xiujia had left half a year ago, Zichuan Xiushu frowned: "In this case, then don't worry." The eldest brother is far-sighted, and it is likely that he has already arranged a place for his sister-in-law and Didi. ”

"My lord, the lower officials guess that the Inspector has already taken them to his side?"

Zi Chuanxiu shook his head: "The eldest brother is preparing to go into exile overseas, bumpy and unpredictable, how can he bring a woman and a child?" Even if you want to take it, it's only after you settle down. Now, I think he must have hidden them incognito. It would be so easy to arrange a fake identity for them by means of the Ombudsman. ”

He vaguely guessed Di Lin's intentions. This thoughtful eldest brother not only commands perfectly on the battlefield, but also takes great pains to treat his family. It seems that he intends to let Lin Xiujia and Di Di live a peaceful life like ordinary people. As for Zi Chuanxiu's entrustment, it is a life-saving talisman at the last moment, and unless it is absolutely necessary, Lin Xiujia and Di Di will not come to ask for help from him.

"Bai Chuan, inform the Far Eastern Military Intelligence Bureau and continue to visit the whereabouts of Lin Xiujia and Didi. Be careful not to alarm the outside world. If there is any news, notify me directly. ”

"Yes, the next official will do it."

"They want to live like ordinary people, I can understand, I can not interfere with them, but I must know their situation and whereabouts, otherwise, if something happens, how can I explain to my eldest brother? This matter, said personally responsible. In the Imperial Forest Guard, there should be someone who knows the clues, saying that they can ask them. By the way, we have to let them understand that we have no malicious intent in looking for Lin Xiujia, otherwise I guess they won't say anything if they die.

"Protect Big Brother's mansion and don't let those messy people go in and make trouble. Without my permission, the Emperor will not be allowed to enter. The original guards and servants in the mansion were retained, and they were allowed to take care of the mansion, but they were not allowed to tamper with my eldest brother and sister-in-law's belongings, lest they cut off their heads.

"Find a portrait or photo of Lin Xiujia. Leave one with my guards. Tell them that if someone who looks like the portrait comes to me, they must notify me immediately, day or night, whether I am sleeping or in a meeting. If I leave. Then I was informed, saying that I must protect them as soon as possible, and inform me to come back.

"Also, the Imperial Capital Ruling Department must arrange reliable manpower to take over. Let the police pay attention to the usual patrols, whether there are ** with children who live alone, usually live in a simple house, do not go out to work, but have a lot of money - collect population information in this area. Notify the Far Eastern Military Intelligence Agency to verify. Be careful, don't scare people.

"If it happens, my sister-in-law and Didi fall into the hands of the family forces. He said that he would take strong measures immediately. Rescue them. In this matter, I authorize the immediate use of force. ”

"If the other party is His Royal Highness Ning's Governor's Mansion......"

"That's the most dangerous situation, and it's even more important to use force to rob people immediately! Remember. Everything else is easy to talk about, on this issue, we will not make any compromises, Lin Xiujia and Didi are protected by me. Whether it is His Royal Highness Ning or Minghui, whoever has an opinion, let them talk to me. ”

Zichuan Xiu said, Shirakawa quickly recorded in the notebook, until the carriage arrived at the destination and stopped, Zichuan Xiu still couldn't get enough of it: "That's all for the time being." I thought about it again. ”

Look at the notebook that remembers densely. Shirakawa was secretly surprised. Discussing those national events before, Zichuan Xiu just said a few words lightly and set a general policy. Only on the issue of dealing with Di Lin's family, he told him so tremblingly for a long time, and even took into account some of the most detailed places, this solemnity and meticulousness made Bai Chuan secretly frightened.

At this time, sheltering the traitor's wife and children is risking ruin, even Zichuan Xiu, who is in charge of the military, cannot ignore the public opinion of the whole world. Obviously, in his mind, completing Di Lin's request and protecting his sister-in-law and nephew is the most important task in the world, even if it is a military event, it is not as important as this matter.

"My lord", Bai Chuan hesitated, and stopped Zi Chuan Xiu, who was about to get off the carriage: "I think Your Excellency Di Lin is very lucky that he has a friend like you. ”

Zichuan Xiu was stunned. Then, a smile slowly appeared on his face, that bitter and vicissitudes of life.

"Shirakawa, the lucky one is me, I have two of the best big brothers in the world. I often think that if the person who wins is the big brother, he must do better than me. So, I can't lose to him. ”

Part of the building of the Governor's Mansion was destroyed by the rebellion of the civil war, and the short-lived Emperor Lin regime did not spend any effort to rebuild it, but only sloppily repaired the broken walls on the periphery. Fortunately, the total Yangsu is very large, and about half of the buildings are still intact, and Zi Chuanning will not end up homeless.

The first thing Zi Chuan Ning did when she returned to the Governor's Mansion was to worship her uncle Zi Chuan Shenxing and comfort the souls of her ancestors under the spring. Zichuan Xiu was going to go back to the Far Eastern Army's office in the imperial capital to rest directly, but Zichuan Ning stopped him: "Brother Xiu, come with me to offer incense to my uncle." ”

Zichuan Xiu hesitated and said, "Okay." ”

The Holy Spirit Hall of the Zichuan family, the temple where the heroes of the past generations rested. The black and white granite floor, the majestic palace with the verdant pines and cypresses as the background, the bright red flying eagle battle flag, and the plaque on the front reads: "The mighty spirit lasts forever, and the eternal fragrance is beautiful". The solemn feeling of going through the vicissitudes of life lingers in the ancient hall, and the solemn atmosphere like a substance makes people awe-inspired.

Before stepping into the door of the hall, Shikawa Xiu straightened up the clothes on his body. Although he lacked respect for Zichuan Shenxing, he couldn't lose respect to the most outstanding heroes and heroes of the past three hundred years.

Zi Chuanxiu accompanied Zi Chuanning to incense Zichuan Shenxing, when the incense was on, Zi Chuanxiu heard Zi Chuanning muttering something in his mouth, he didn't pay attention to listening, it was expected to tell the old man of Shenxing that Di Lin had been defeated and had to avenge his uncle, you should go with peace of mind. Zi Chuanning kowtowed to Sam Xing's spiritual position three times, and then, she looked at Zi Chuanxiu nervously and with a little worry.

At this time, the situation forced him to have no choice, so Zi Chuanxiu had no choice but to kneel down and kowtow, secretly scolding in his stomach.

Zi Chuanning relaxed suddenly, and a smile appeared on his face: "Brother Xiu, I was worried just now...... Thank you. I can avenge my uncle, thanks to you. ”

Zi Chuanxiu said lightly: "Lord Yuanxing is as kind to me as a mountain, and I lack a lot of family. Here's what should be done. The implication is that he only has respect for this family with the surname "Zichuan", and does not have any good feelings for Zichuan Shenxing.

Zi Chuan Ning sighed, led Zi Chuan Xiu past the rows of spiritual seats, and told them about their deeds and deeds in life. Zichuan Cloud, Zichuan Star, Yarime, Zichuan Yuanxing, Yunshanhe, Geying Star...... In those stories, there is loyalty to the country. There are killings, there are sacrifices for righteousness, there are millions of corpses, countless impassioned stories, how many twists and turns and moving legends, a hundred years later, they are all condensed into a cold spiritual seat.

In front of the sages of the past dynasties, Zichuan Xiu realized his insignificance: what about the hegemony of the emperor and the prince. What about meritorious deeds? When it comes to meritorious deeds, who of the heroic souls who sleep here for a long time is inferior to himself in his lifetime? Compared to these, the ancestors who created a thousand years of careers. Thinking of his high spirits of commanding 100,000 troops into the imperial capital, and the kind of villain's ambition, he didn't feel that his cheeks were hot. Secretly ashamed.

In front of Stirling, both stopped. With different thoughts, they all bowed deeply to the deceased friend. Zi Chuanning sighed: "Big Brother Sterling...... Our Zichuan family owes him too much. It's a pity that he and Sister Li Qing don't even have a child. We can't get anywhere to start when we want to give back. Brother Axiu, I mean, posthumously named Sterling as a duke, what do you think? ”

"The Loyal and Brave Pass is very good, but it's a pity that it is duplicated with the Pass of His Excellency Fang Jin. It's still a narrow name for loyalty. The second brother has been loyal to the country all his life and is righteous to his friends. This nickname suits him well.

The second brother left no descendants. It's a pity. I think, let Li Qingqing take the title of Duchess. Let her adopt a child of good character among her relatives in the second brother's land, so as to continue Sterling's surname. Also, this title can't be an empty land, it must have an actual fief. ”

"It's nature. I have made plans to find a rich county in the southeast as a fief for the Duke of Stirling's family, and I will start when I am settled. What do you think of the closure in Bartley Province? ”

"It's still Oss. The province of Oss is where Stirling fought, and the local population has a strong affection for Stirling. And the economy of Oss is also in good shape. Li Qing's generation, with us taking care of it, there will definitely be no problem. But it is necessary to take into account the future generations, and in Oss, Sterling's descendants will not be financially constrained. ”

"Brother Axiu, you think carefully."

The two discussed, but they knew in their hearts that no matter how heavy the reward was, Sterling's life could not be saved. Zi Chuanxiu even understood that such a heavy reward was definitely not what Sterling wanted, the deceased friend, he was more looking forward to a plain, peaceful and happy life, rather than illustrious glory.

However, what he wants, he can't do anything about it. Even if he is now in control of the world, the only thing he can give is to make Sterling look behind him and be extremely sad.

Walking past Stirling's spiritual position, looking at the rows of solemn white jade tablets, Zi Chuanning said seriously: "Brother Xiu, since the ancestor His Royal Highness Zichuan Yun founded the family, nine generations have overcome obstacles and gone through difficulties, and there is the glory of today's family. I am the head of the family for nine generations, and I am ashamed to say that although I am incompetent and cowardly, I must not be the last head of the family. The sacrifice and sweat of nine generations, the survival of the community, cannot die in my hands. ”

Zi Chuanxiu nodded silently, but in her heart she wondered why Zi Chuanning wanted to say these words to herself. He politely agreed: "Your Highness is bright and intelligent, and you will be able to inherit the cause of your ancestors and carry it forward even more." ”

Zi Chuan Ning stared at Zi Chuan Xiu for a long time, there was something firm in his eyes, and Zi Chuan Xiu felt faintly empty in his heart. Then, with a wry smile, she shook her head, but said nothing.

When she walked out of the Holy Spirit Temple, Zi Chuanning paused: "Brother Axiu, ...... here in the future" She turned around and pointed to the huge hall, as well as the white marble spiritual seat that stood like a forest: "...... I'll leave it to you. Take good care of it for me. ”

Zi Chuanxiu stood up and looked at Zi Chuanning: "A-Ning? What do you say? ”

"Nothing." The current head of the Zichuan family smiled and turned around to say goodbye: "Brother Axiu, I'm tired, I'll rest first - by the way, the chief minister's enthronement ceremony has been postponed to a week later, and you remember to come then." ”

In the next few days, Shikawa Xiu was very busy. Dilin's rebellion had caused great damage and loss to the country, and it was impossible to imagine in advance that it would be impossible to rebuild the country from the ruins. Especially Shikawa Shu, who served as the president's leader. I have to get up at five o'clock in the morning, and I am busy until more than twelve o'clock in the evening, and when I look back, I have to review the documents piled up higher than in the morning... He couldn't even process it as fast as the number of files added.

A tidal wave of affairs came in, and Zichuan Xiu was dazzled by just reviewing documents every day. Dizziness and bloating. As the leader of the president, it was Zi Chuanning and Li Qing who promised to give Zi Chuanxiu as a reward for recovering the country, and now, Zi Chuanxiu was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "Such a painful thing is actually given to me as a retribution?" Li Qing's mother-in-law is too insidious, she has to ask me to be the president's territory... I'd rather call Diling back, that's fine! "In addition to reviewing documents and handling affairs, the presidential consul also has a very important task, which is to receive visitors. Because Zi Chuanning's enthronement ceremony is imminent. Therefore, officials at or above the flag level in all parts of the family must recall the imperial capital and prepare to participate in the enthronement ceremony of His Royal Highness Zichuan Ning as the chief minister. And just as Zichuan Xiuqi had to report to the command office on the day he returned from the Far East, officials and generals from all over the country also had to report to Zichuan Xiu. And it is the duty of the current president, His Excellency Hideshi Shikawa, to meet them. Otherwise, the family president has never even seen most of the senior officials under him, which would be too much to say.

In two or three days. Shikawa Shu met with more than 900 officers and officers and received their congratulations and gifts. At the beginning, Zichuan Xiu also wanted to perform the warmth and care of the president's lordship, chatting with local officials and generals. Or they can discern people, and find one or two usable talents worthy of cultivation among these local officials, but the people they receive come like a rush of traffic every day, and countless ground eyes appear in front of them like Xiangshui, disappear, appear, and disappear...... At last. In the eyes of Zichuan Xiu. These people seem to have similar faces, and they are also talking about the same flattery. The name is about the same, and the official rank is also about the same, either the flag is the red flag or the red flag, and the red flag is the deputy commander.

A few days later, Zi Chuanxiu was already numb, no matter who came, he opened his mouth and said: "The family is the time to employ people, it is the right time to work hard, Your Excellency works hard, and the future is immeasurable......"

"My lord, I'm Shirakawa!"

"I'm Ming Yu!"

"Oh, Shirakawa and Mingyu, right? I remember you, I remember you...... Aren't you just the official of some province and place? Flag book or red flag book? Oh, I remember you guys...... It's really familiar! Come on, the family expects a lot from you! ”

The two cronies laughed, grabbed Zi Chuanxiu and threw him back to the bedroom, and told Xiao Lin, the captain of the guard: "Don't let adults meet people again in the past two days." Let him get a good night's sleep. If he continues like this, he will even forget who he is! ”

Although there are many people who come to see it, there are still some people who are treated by Zichuan Xiu, such as Minghui, the commander of the northwest.

A few days before Zichuan Ning ascended the throne, Minghui also followed him to the imperial capital. When it comes to his heart, Minghui is reluctant to come back. Although it is said that the chief has returned to the imperial capital, whether it is the garrison of Gyeonggi, or the forces in the imperial capital, such as the commanders and city defenses, they are all controlled by Zichuan Xiu's Far Eastern Army, while the Praetorian Guards guarding the Governor's Mansion of Zichuan Ning are simply half-orc soldiers. Everyone knows that the imperial capital is now Zichuan Xiu's final say.

But fortunately, Zichuan Xiu has a gentle temperament and a good reputation, and is not as cruel as Di Lin. What's more important is that this time is different from when Di Lin usurped the throne, the enthronement ceremony of the authentic chief of the Zichuan family, all the town guard officials have to attend the ceremony, and as the commander of the Northwest Frontier Army, there is no reason to be absent" "Of course, if Minghui doesn't come, then no one can do anything about him. But in this case, Minghui is equivalent to holding a loudspeaker and announcing to the whole country: "I have different intentions for my family and am ready to rebel and become independent!" ”

On the day he came to the imperial capital, Minghui asked to see the chief of Zichuan Ning. After coming out of the governor's palace, his expression was a little confused, his face was very bad, and he said to his coachman, "Go to the command's office." ”

As the head of the family, Minghui enjoys many privileges. For example, when he asked to see Zichuan Xiu, Minghui just revealed his identity, and someone immediately went in to report it. Under the envious gaze of the officials waiting to be received, he swaggered in.

When he met Zichuan Xiu, Minghui's attitude was very polite - of course, as a family leader, he should be polite to the president. But to be polite to the point of Minghui, it is a little weird. He is a "big man" and a "lower official". When Zi Chuanxiu asked to take a seat, he refused to sit down, and excused himself repeatedly: "In front of adults, how can there be a seat for a lower official." He didn't stop until Shikawa Shu pressed him into a chair.

Zichuan Xiu was secretly strange, although the presidential leader was one level higher than the general commander. But in fact, the members of the command office are directly responsible to the chief, and the presidential leader is just a leader, and everyone is not a subordinate relationship. Moreover, when it comes to the time to enter the command office, Minghui is still much earlier than Zichuan Xiu, and in terms of qualifications, he doesn't have to be so polite at all.

"Your Excellency Minghui, it's like this. Many years have passed. Zi Chuanxiu sighed: "The last time you fought the demon clan, you and Princess Liufeng Frost came over, and I wanted to have a good reunion that time." But the military affairs are urgent, and everyone is busy. Come here this time, and you can stay a few more days. Let's have a few drinks in the evening. Alas, I still remember how lively it was when I first entered the Command. But now. There were just two of us left here. ”

Thinking of the departing colleague, Minghui's face was also gloomy. He said, "yes, a lot of people are gone. ”

The two of them looked at the empty room, the neatly arranged chairs, and the people who had sat in those seats. Luo Minghai, Sterling, Dilin. Pigou. Fang Jin, Goshan...... Those people. or friend or foe, but they were all heroes of the illustrious side back then. Now, the waves of time have ruthlessly washed away them, and finally slowly faded and disappeared.

Minghui said sincerely: "My lord, this time I came over, and the lower officials must first bear the guilt of Jing Pleading. This time, the rebels rebelled, the commander-in-chief was martyred, and the Northwest Army did nothing, which is really damned. It is a shame to say that we do not dare to send troops alone to rebel, and only think about waiting for the Far East to send troops before fighting together; But unexpectedly, the soldiers and horses of the Far East descended from the sky like divine soldiers, and defeated the rebels in a month, and by the time we set out, it was already a step too late. Compared with the adults, compared with the brothers of the Far Eastern Army, the subordinates and colleagues are really ashamed. ”

Zi Chuanxiu smiled freely. He also knows in his heart, Minghui said half-truths, he didn't move for a long time, it was inevitable that he didn't have hope, looking forward to the Far Eastern Army and Di Lin killing you and I was greatly injured, and then he came out to clean up the mess, but Di Lin and Zi Chuan Xiu unexpectedly won the heads-up victory, Di Lin was defeated and fled, after the Far Eastern Army absorbed the rebels, it was even more powerful, Minghui wanted to do it was a step too late, and he could only cry out in vain.

However, Zichuan Xiu smiled, this slippery guy has finally improved a little bit compared to before, and he doesn't dare to brag about the story of the bloody battle with a million rebels, which can be regarded as some sincerity.

"Your Excellency, although the Northwest Army did not directly participate in the battle, you were ready to threaten the rear of the rebels, contain the rebels' strength, and at the same time deter the Lin family and the Liufeng family from their ill-intentioned ambitions towards us, so that they did not dare to take advantage of the fire to rob, and the credit is also very great. Please, sin or something, these words will not be said later. The country is in a difficult situation, and we need to work together to tide over the difficulties in the future! ”

Minghui breathed a sigh of relief. What he was most worried about was that Zichuan Xiu would hold on to this matter. This matter can be big or small, and it is not impossible to sit idly by and watch the chief in danger and not provide rescue, and it is not impossible to remove him from his post and investigate and deal with it.

This visit was only courteous, and after talking about the topic, the two chatted for a while, and Minghui said goodbye and left. Zi Chuanxiu sent him to the door of the waiting room, and when he said goodbye, Minghui hesitated, but still spoke: "Your Excellency the President, when I met with the Commander-in-Chief, His Royal Highness Ning mentioned it to me, saying that the imperial capital needs someone to preside over the overall situation, and is ready to transfer me back to be the commander of the Central Army...... You know about this? ”

Zi Chuanxiu was shocked, but his face did not show any light: "The commander of the Central Army is the head of the family leaders, defending Gyeonggi, guarding the chief of the guard, and mastering the military affairs department, Brother Ming, His Royal Highness has arranged this way because he trusts you!" We are just worried, without Brother Ming, you are in the northwest, which is really reassuring. ”

Minghui didn't realize that Zi Chuanxiu was taking care of his own words, and said to himself: "His Royal Highness Ning meant to arrange for Lord Lin Bing to go to the northwest to serve as the commander of the border guards. She is also a veteran of the family, an old courtier who has gone through three generations of chiefs, has the ability and qualifications, which is also reassuring. Naturally, the subordinates must obey the family's arrangement. ”

Seeing off Minghui, Shikawa Xiu fell into deep thought. Zi Chuanning suddenly made a move to adjust the candidate for the Northwest Commander, and he had not discussed it with him at all in advance, which was a bad signal. The head of the Zichuan family, no matter how incompetent he is, he will not become a puppet in his palm.

But Zi Chuanxiu couldn't think of it at all, what was the purpose of Zi Chuanning's adjustment? In addition to the Far East troops, the Northwest Frontier Army is currently the most complete and most powerful unit in the family, and Lin Bing, who was born in the Far East, was appointed as the commander of the Northwest Frontier Army. Isn't this tantamount to expanding the sphere of influence in the Far East?

What does Zi Chuanning want to do?

"I can't figure it out!" Shikawa shook his head in annoyance.

February 5, 787, an auspicious day for the zodiac.

In the imperial capital, at eight o'clock in the morning, on Central Street, the brightly dressed Praetorian Guard soldiers blocked the entire street entrance. Only dignitaries with invitations in hand can enter through the blockade. At the door of the family council hall, rows of ceremonial soldiers in silver-white uniforms stood as straight as nails with swords in hand. Behind them, the arches of the palace decorated with colorful flowers were filled with nearly a thousand dignitaries and nobles of the Zichuan family and diplomatic envoys from friendly countries such as the Liufeng and Lin clans, dressed in gorgeous dresses, military uniforms, and various shining stars, medals, and ribbons, and politely mannered. Dazzling.

The hall is also magnificently decorated. Huge chandeliers hang from the ceiling of the hall, more than 5,000 lanterns and special colored candles illuminate the whole hall, and the red coral velvet carpet spreads from the doorway to the front of the high platform. The large portrait of Zi Chuanyun hanging behind the rostrum looked down condescendingly, with infinite majesty in his eyes.

In this hall, the top figures of the Zichuan family were gathered, and the dignitaries and nobles sat on the arranged seats. Gently and softly discussed, of course, the most talked about was the Zichuan family's magical counterinsurgency process. A continental power, without warning, suddenly reached the brink of extinction. It can be revived in an instant, and it will be more powerful. The diplomats who watched the ceremony were all sighing that the mystery of providence was really unpredictable.

The ceremony officially began at nine o'clock in the morning, but around half past eight, all the spectators arrived at the scene. When Zi Chuanxiu led a group of Far Eastern generals to the front row and sat down, everyone's eyes in the venue were attracted to him. This young general, who is only 27 years old, may already be the most powerful and powerful man on the mainland.

Many of the guests at the ceremony saw the Zichuan show for the first time. They marveled at the ruler's upright posture. Flowing silver hair, handsome appearance. More people talk about his undefeated record and the legendary experience of rising from the wilderness of the Far East. Whether it is friend or foe, everyone secretly admires in their hearts, such a temperament, such a demeanor, is indeed an outstanding person today.

At nine o'clock, Zi Chuanning, dressed in military uniform, appeared at the door. She didn't dress too extravagantly, just a simple dark blue general's uniform, covered with a golden cloak with a conspicuous eagle logo tattooed on the cloak. Seeing her come in, the audience stood up and bowed to show their respect for the head of the Zichuan family.

Zi Chuanning looked solemn, walked through the bright red coral velvet carpet without squinting, his demeanor was light and graceful, and his bearing was calm and solemn. When passing by Zichuan Xiu, she paused and nodded slightly to Zichuan Xiu, who smiled and gave the other party an encouraging look.

In the majestic military music of God bless our country, the future chief of the family stepped onto the high platform. Zi Chuan Xiu was in a complicated mood, at this moment, he thought of a lot of things, many people. Since his childhood, his fate has been closely entangled with the woman in front of him. At the age of twenty-seven, his life was full of blood, sacrifice, struggle, betrayal, and ? Passion?, all of it is for the woman in front of you. At this moment, he suddenly felt extremely relaxed, looking at the portrait of Zichuan Yuanxing on the high wall, he thought silently: "Lord Yuanxing, I have practiced the oath I made back then. From this moment on, I have no debt to the Zichuan family. ”

Because the previous governor, Zichuan Sanxing, is dead, according to tradition, it is the Senate that presides over the coronation ceremony of the new governor. Xiao Ping, the chairman of the Council of Veterans, walked up to the high platform steadily, first bowed to Zi Chuanning, and the latter half bowed in return.

"Your Highness, in accordance with the family patriarchal law, Weichen would like to give you a gift on behalf of the chief executive."

"There's Lord Lao."

"Don't dare to be."

After Xiao Ping finished speaking, he opened the thick book in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, Your Highness Yun and the ancestors are above, according to the authorization of the sacred agreement, entrusted by all the members of the contemporary Senate, Weichen, as the chief and speaker of the Senate, will give gifts to Miss Zichuan Ning, the ninth chief of the Zichuan family. Your Highness, please follow me to read the following words: I, Zichuan Ning......",

"I, ...... Zichuan Ning"
