After Jia Xu left, Shen Ning's life fell into peace again.

He is not in a hurry to return to Chengyang County, Zhang Liao, Shen Zhaoyuan, and Li Xiaojie will guard it well, even if Sima Jian, the king of Qi, wants to send troops to recapture Chengyang County, he will not be able to draw enough troops for a while, after all, Li Yuanxiao of Dongguan County makes him feel like a fish in his throat.

And Sima Yue didn't let Shen Ning wait too long, he survived this cold winter, but his body was even weaker, now that the Taoist Jin Dan was in his hand, he had verified the authenticity of the pill, so he naturally had to take it immediately.

If it really works, then drive away the disease and rejuvenate it.

So Sima Yue took the Taoist Jindan.

And whether the Taoist Jin Dan has any effect, others don't know, how can Shen Ning not know?

Since ancient times, there has been no Jin Dan that has come back to life, just a gimmick, and Sima Yue, who took the Taoist Jin Dan, did not have the medicine he dreamed of to get rid of the disease.

Correspondingly, another poison touched the poison hidden on the Taoist golden pill, and immediately produced a highly toxic reaction.

An hour after Sima Yue took the golden pill, he was bleeding from his seven orifices and was unable to breathe.

A moment later, the southeast palace was like a great enemy.

Sima Haiyun rushed to the bedroom, and when he saw his father's tragic condition, he immediately cried. Then came the princess, who was also in a hurry and fainted directly.

After crying for a long time, Sima Haiyun, who had no master of the six gods, was also at a loss, and immediately sent someone to find Shen Ning, and after Shen Ning rushed to the palace, he learned that Sima Yue had been killed.

Shen Ning looked sad and comforted Sima Haiyun: "Prince, the prince is here, you must hold on, the palace still needs you to be in charge next." The top priority is to find out the cause of the prince's death, how could something happen? ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Sima Haiyun immediately called Lang Zhong to inquire, and only after asking did he learn that the prince died of severe poison.

Sima Haiyun was furious, and immediately arrested all the close subordinates who served Sima Yue, and then tortured him to extract a confession, and the result was naturally fruitless.

The angry Sima Haiyun directly ordered to pull out all these subordinates and behead them.

Subsequently, the heartbroken Sima Haiyun had no intention of dealing with the affairs of the palace, and now the only person he trusted the most was Shen Ning, so he directly appointed Shen Ning as the governor of the palace, responsible for all matters, equivalent to Jiang Xiao's position.

Shen Ning immediately began to do things, first of all, to inform the imperial court of the news of Sima Yuexu, and at the same time arrange the sacrificial hall, summoning the county guards in Xuzhou to return to Pengcheng, including the main generals who went on the expedition.

Next, it is to wait for the edict of the imperial court, so that Sima Haiyun can inherit the status of the prince and become the new king of the southeast. Then it is to choose the date and bury Sima Yue.

At the same time, the entire territory of Xuzhou has entered a period of great mourning, and fish, meat and music are banned.

......

In the alchemy room, Sima Zhou had just taken the pill and was about to meditate.

Xu Chongzhi hurriedly came: "Your Majesty, Pengcheng Urgent Express, the southeast king is here." ”

"Really? Sima Yue died? Sima was shocked and immediately overjoyed.

Xu Chong said straightly: "Back to Your Majesty, it's true. ”

Sima Zhou's smile was even worse: "Sima Liang just died violently, Sima Yue also died, and two princes and kings died a year later, which is really heaven's help." After Sima Liang's death, his sons had completely broken up in order to compete for power and profit, and there was no need to worry. And after Sima Yue's death, his fat son had no talent and no virtue, and he couldn't keep Xuzhou at all. By the way, what about Shen Ning? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Shen Ning is now fully responsible for Xuzhou affairs, and according to Huo Tianxing's letter, Shen Ning has 25,000 soldiers and horses under his command." Xu Chong said straightly.

Sima Zhou nodded and said with a smile: "Good job, the task I gave him was completed beautifully, and it only took such a short time." Write back to him and let him do a good job, and I will not treat him badly. ”

Xu Chong replied directly: "Your Majesty, after Sima Haiyun inherits the title of King of the Southeast, he will inevitably rely on Shen Ning, and then, Shen Ning only needs to unite with Li Yuanxiao and control the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, then the entire Xuzhou will completely return to the hands of the imperial court." ”

Sima Zhou laughed and said, "That's right! On the surface, Xuzhou is still the fief of the king of the southeast, but the soldiers and horses fell into my hands, and I held the life and death of Xuzhou. ”

Xu Chongzhi nodded, and said: "Captain Shen's contribution is indeed not small, congratulations to Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty, for being this loyal general." ”

Although Shen Ning left the imperial capital, he left a lot of backhands in the imperial capital, and Zhao Qingxuan was his person, so he naturally understood the importance of Xu Chongzhi.

During the time he was not in the imperial capital, he had already ordered someone to send Xu Chong tens of thousands of taels of silver and land deeds.

"Find a reason, you have to reward him!" Sima Zhou agreed.

Xu Chongzhi said again: "Your Majesty, then Sima Haiyun inherited the prince..."

"Immediately draft the order and send it to Pengcheng!" Sima Zhou commanded.

......

As Shen Ning expected, the holy decree was sent back by the whip.

The county guards and leading generals also rushed back to Pengcheng, so in front of everyone, the internal officials read out the holy decree, and the prince Sima Haiyun inherited the title of the king of the southeast and officially became the new king of the southeast.

Next, the date was chosen, and twenty days later, Sima Yue was ready to be buried.

Sima Yue's royal tomb has already been built, so he only needs to be buried.

On the eve of Qingming, the funeral began.

The mighty funeral procession sent Sima Yue's coffin into the royal tomb, the stone door of the tomb was sealed, and all the ceremonies were over, and Sima Yue was completely in the past.

After Sima Haiyun became the prince, he thought about asking about political affairs at first, but after asking for a few days, he was upset and had no interest.

Although Shen Ning is a long history, he went to ask Sima Haiyun for everything, big and small, and Sima Haiyun told Shen Ning more than once: You are my sworn brother, and your order is my order.

But Shen Ning didn't dare to go beyond it, and still asked Sima Haiyun for everything, but Sima Haiyun also went in and out of his left ear, directly asked Shen Ning's opinion, and then directly complied.

In this way, the time has come to March.

Since Shen Ning served as the head of the palace, he took the initiative to ask to step down from the position of master, which was also his low-key means.

Sima Haiyun disagreed, but Shen Ning was resolute, saying that since he was the governor of the palace, if he still had heavy troops, he would be criticized.

In this way, Zhang Liao assumed the position of master of the division, and Chang Yuchun was promoted to the commander of the army.

It seems that Shen Ning has no military power, but Zhang Liao, Chang Yuchun, Li Xiaojie, and Shen Zhaoyuan are all his people, and this is what makes a fortune in silence.

With the adjustment of Shen Ning's official position, the score of the system reward is enough for a new wheel.

This time the wheel is very rich:

"Zhuge Liang!"

"Zhu Yuanzhang!"

"Papermaking!"

"Typography!"

"Cheng bites gold!"

"Hongyi Cannon!"

"Binoculars!"

......

This time, the wheel selected "Printing", Shen Ning was a little disappointed, so he sent the printing technology to the imperial capital and handed it over to Xun Zhiruo.

Now Xun Zhiruo has become Shen Ning's housekeeper and helps him make money.

In the past half a year, Shen Ning has consumed a lot of silver, and if it weren't for Xun Zhiruo's support, he would have been unable to make ends meet.

And with Shen Ning becoming the chief of the palace, next, he began the real layout.

First of all, he quietly replaced the palace guards with his own henchmen, completely controlled the palace in his own hands, and then replaced the guard captain of the Pengcheng city gate.

In this way, the entire Pengcheng is under Shen Ning's control.

And then, naturally, he had to control the moat camp outside the city.

However, Chu Haoran was loyal to the Southeast Palace, and if Shen Ning wanted to win him over, it was basically impossible, and he couldn't even show any intention of wooing.

Since you can't win it over, then kill it.

Shen Ning's master Zhu Wanshan had already healed his throat, he and Zhu Wanshui both came to Pengcheng, and the master of the sect went to assassinate a master in person, a piece of cake, and then pushed the blame to Sima Yin, the king of Qi.

And with Chu Haoran's death, the city protection camp cannot be left without a master for a day, after all, the snake can't be without a head. Shen Ning recommended a person, who was the deputy general next to Li Yuanxiao, named He Liang.

He Liang is also a tiger general, and he is famous in Xuzhou, so let him be in charge of the city protection camp, naturally there is no problem at all.

As far as Shen Ning is concerned, this person is Li Yuanxiao's henchman and Shen Ning's henchman.

Sima Haiyun has no other good candidates, so he naturally agrees.

In this way, He Liang was transferred to the city protection camp and became the master.

So far, among the five masters of Xuzhou, He Liang and Zhang Liao are both from Shen Ning.

Li Yuanxiao, the commander of the army, supported Shen Ning even more.

And Shen Ning himself controlled the Southeast Palace.

Now even if someone makes a statement to Sima Haiyun that Shen Ning is a wolf ambition, it will have no impact on Shen Ning, because even if Sima Haiyun finds out the facts, he can't help Shen Ning.

What's more, Sima Haiyun is lazy and lazy, and he still firmly believes in Shen Ning, after all, Shen Ning is hiding deeply, he is only a long history now, and he has no troops in his hands.

At this time, the time had come to mid-April, and Shen Ning already had the ability to protect himself. But that's all.

If you want to become one of the most powerful princes, Shen Ning will never be able to do a long history.

Now that Xuzhou has stabilized, he is ready to go to the imperial capital to raise his official position again. The Liupinxiao cavalry captain is too low, and his reputation is not enough.

Shen Ning directly found Sima Haiyun and explained his intentions.

"You're going to the imperial capital? Why? Everything has just been straightened out, why should you go to the imperial capital? Sima Haiyun said in surprise.

Shen Ning began to talk about ideals: "Lord Wang, now that Xuzhou has stabilized, and Li Ru is by the side of the prince to give advice, even if he leaves Xuzhou, the prince has no worries." I want to go to the imperial capital to break through. The lowly position is now only a six-grade Xiao cavalry captain, and the lowly position wants to go further and build the Shen family into a high-grade family. This is my father's dream, and it is also the dream of the lowly office..."

Dreaming of something like this is sometimes the best excuse.

Sima Haiyun also understands that even if he reuses Shen Ning, he will always be a long history, even if he goes out to lead the troops and achieves Li Yuanxiao's position, it will be the end.

Although the imperial court is decayed, the fixed products are still in the hands of the imperial court.

"You just helped this king sort out everything, I don't want you to go!" Sima Haiyun sighed.

Shen Ning said with a smile: "Lord Wang, this is my home, and I won't be able to mix in the imperial capital in the future, so I have to come back." ”

Sima Haiyun nodded and said, "You insist on this, then okay." ”

Shen Ning bowed.

It is the only way for him to earn an official position in the imperial capital this time.

She is only a six-pin Xiao cavalry captain now, and if she is a three-pin state pastor, she is also in Xuzhou, and the concept is completely different.

He left Li Ru in Pengcheng, and Sima Haiyun trusted him, so Shen Ning could leave with confidence.
