Chapter 152: I Want the Lord and I Don't Want the Lord
Entering the council hall, Nian Zhiyu went first unhurriedly, and the rest of the people followed, and the two did not talk.
Although the rest of us have many questions to ask, this is certainly not a place for gossip at this time.
On the council hall, the Holy Queen Niangniang, who was dressed in red and wore a phoenix crown, was bowing her head to the desk, looking at the twists and turns on the stage with plain eyes, and her willow eyebrows were slightly twisted.
Nian Zhiyu came to His Royal Highness, looked at the face of the Holy Queen Niangniang, bowed down and saluted: "Nian Zhiyu, a disciple of the Academy, has seen the Holy Queen Niangniang. ”
The Holy Queen Niangniang's eyes moved away from the desk, looked at Nian Zhiyu under the stage, nodded slightly, and said softly: "No need to be polite, the academy has been hidden, what are you doing here today?" ”
Nian Zhiyu straightened up very casually, and did not mean to thank the Holy Queen Mother. The holy queen mother in the hall, her brows were slightly locked, and she looked deeply at Nian Zhiyu. The latter did not shy away from it, and his eyes met with the Holy Queen.
His Royal Highness, Yu Yu raised his eyebrows, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, there are still important matters in the minister's family, and the minister is allowed to retire first." ”
The rest of the people's remarks are naturally well-founded. From the conversation between the senior sister and the holy queen Niangniang, he faintly sensed a trace of unease. This is not calm, it is not simply a matter of Nian Zhiyu's being rather rude, but another thing.
Ever since the rest of the people sensed that Nian Zhiyu had entered the palace, they had been speculating about the intentions of the senior sister. Outside the hall before, he thought about asking, but Nian Zhiyu didn't give him a chance to ask.
It can be seen that what the senior sister did when she entered the palace this time definitely didn't want to let herself participate in it Since the senior sister has this intention, no matter what the reason, the rest of the people will obey.
It's just that if the rest of the people want to retreat, they have to be agreed by the Holy Queen. But now the Holy Queen Niangniang is exchanging feelings with the senior sister, and she can't turn a deaf ear to his words, so he can only stay in the hall.
After a few breaths, the Holy Queen Niangniang retracted her gaze, and a smile appeared on her rather charming face.
She glanced at the rest of the people who were still bowing, and said softly, "No matter what happens in the academy today, you don't need to retreat. ”
When the rest of the people heard this, they could only straighten up after agreeing to the promise, and slowly stepped aside.
Nian Zhiyu on the other side looked at Yu Rao's appearance and shook his head with some disappointment.
She shook her head and was disappointed because of Yu Rao's respect and humility. In Nian Zhiyu's heart, there is no need for the rest of the people to be like this.
After all, if you are born but not raised, and in order to change your life, you do not hesitate to sacrifice your own son, even if it is a great kindness, the rest of the people have already been repaid.
Now that Yu Yu is famous, his own cultivation is also good, and he is relying on the big tree of the academy, as long as he wants to ascend the throne, he and others naturally have the ability to easily help him sit on the throne. If you can easily ascend to the throne, why be so humble?
Of course, despite some disappointment, Nian Zhiyu did not intend to meddle in the rest of the matter.
After all, no matter how you look at this matter, it is also a matter between his mother and son, and before the rest of the people have spoken, no matter who they are, it is not easy to interfere with Qi Zheng
"The teacher went to the Demon Snow Plain, and before leaving, he left a task for his disciples. My entry into the palace this time is related to this mission. ”
When the Holy Queen Niangniang heard this, her eyes flashed, and she glanced at the rest of the people who were slightly puzzled, and wanted to speak, but found that Nian Zhiyu did not stop there, but continued.
"The teacher went to the demon clan, so what's the matter, I don't need to explain more if I want to come to the mother. As for this task, it is not the thing that Niang Niang thought of. I'm here to tell my mother that I'm going to enter the Shuling. ”
The Holy Queen Niangniang frowned, although Nian Zhiyu's words relieved the worries in her heart, but they added confusion to her.
"You entered the Book Tomb? With your current cultivation, the things in the book are useless. Are you here to meet someone? If so, you don't have to go, Chen Changsheng went to the south. ”
"Naturally, I didn't enter Shuling for the third junior brother, before the teacher left, let me enter Shuling to kill someone."
At this point, Nian Zhiyu's mood did not fluctuate, although there was a killing word between his words, there was no trace of killing intent on his body. And her words naturally caused the Holy Queen to be puzzled.
After all, she naturally knows how many people there are in Shuling and who they are. It was clear, therefore, that she couldn't think of who could cause Tang Ning's killing intent. Could it be......
"You want to kill Khan Qing?"
Nian Zhiyu showed a smile and asked rhetorically, "I don't know if Niangniang will allow it?" ”
The Holy Queen Niangniang frowned, she was very dissatisfied with this answer, or she couldn't figure out why the academy wanted to kill the god Jiang Khan Qing.
You must know that although Han Qing is the former prince of the demon clan, he joined the human race as early as the Taizong period.
During the war between humans and demons, Khan Qing made great contributions to the human race. Khan Qing should have had infinite glory in the human race, but he knew the problem of his life experience, and after returning to the divine capital, he asked himself to guard the tomb. This guard has been kept for more than 200 years.
Even if the bloodline is classified as a demon, everything he does is beneficial to the human race. Now Tang Ning wants to kill him, what is the reason?
The Holy Queen Mother did not speak, but fell into deep thought. Suddenly, Niangniang thought of Zhou Tong.
It's just that Zhou Tong did have an outside heart at that time. After being locked and taken out of prison, Mo Yu collected many secret folds from his home, and it was these folds that finally annoyed the Holy Queen Niangniang and ordered his life.
Could it be that after Khan Qing was returned to Shuling, he also had similar actions?
Thinking of this, the Holy Queen Niangniang quickly denied it, after all, with Khan Qing's cultivation, it was impossible to quietly enter and leave the Shuling under her perception.
What's more, there is no need for this at all.
Today's Demon Lord is no longer his father. The team left behind by his father has long been eradicated by the new Demon Lord.
If he is a demon, he will not benefit at all. Since it is not beneficial, it is natural that it will not be done.
If it weren't for this, why did Tangning have to put sweat to death?
In the eyes of the Holy Queen Mother, Han Qing was already a corpse at the moment, after all, if he offended the academy, he could not have the possibility of living.
Even though she is the Emperor of the Great Zhou, she can protect him. But if the Holy Queen Niangniang really tries her best to protect each other, then the Tang family, the academy, and the state religion will all be involved in Qi Zheng
As Nian Zhiyu said, she came here just to inform her out of politeness.
Even if the academy did not inform the Holy Queen Niangniang, Niangniang would not be able to take any other actions except for being angry.
Although the situation of the Terrans is still divided into north and south, and those Terrans in the south have not merged into the Great Zhou, as long as there is no trouble and the current situation continues to develop, the matter of the confluence of the north and the south will definitely be completed in less than two years.
Today's Da Zhou has stabilized, and it is impossible for her to pay such a big price for the sake of sweat.
Looking at Nian Zhiyu's calm face, the Holy Queen Niangniang frowned, although she knew that the background and strength of the girl in front of her were extremely deep, but the Holy Queen Niangniang still wanted to beat her.
"Niangniang, if you have no objection, I will go to Shuling."
As if he was in a hurry, Nian Zhiyu hugged his fists and bowed his hand, and left the hall under the 'goodwill' gaze of the Holy Queen Niangniang.
The Holy Queen Niangniang looked at Zhiyu's back and silently took off the hairpin, but the rest of the people said loudly at this time: "Your Majesty, this matter cannot be done." ”
The Holy Queen glanced at the rest of the people, looked at his gradually condensed True Yuan, and frowned.
"Could it be that you want to choose to attack me for her sake?"
The rest of the people didn't make a sound, but the true yuan on their bodies kept agitating, and the Holy Queen Niangniang's eyes were cold, and she put down the hairpin.
"You are my child, and you dare to make a move against me for the sake of an outsider, so has the news that I have not announced in the past two years reached the limit of what you can bear?"
The rest of the people calmed the true yuan in their bodies, although with his and Nian Zhiyu's cultivation, it was likely that they would not be able to block the sword of the Holy Queen Niangniang, but he knew that it was impossible for the Holy Queen Niangniang to really kill the senior sister.
From the very beginning, Yu Yu knew that Senior Sister would not be in danger, and he could not interfere in this matter at all. It's just that, as a disciple of the academy, it is impossible for him to watch this happen.
With Yu Rao's attitude, he naturally felt that it was not worth it, but not everything in life can be measured by gains and losses.
As for the anger of the Holy Queen Mother in front of him, the rest of the people naturally knew how to solve it.
To put out a fire, you first need to know where it starts. And judging from the performance of the Holy Queen Niangniang, this fire is very simple.
one's own child, in front of himself, wants to turn his face with himself for the sake of an outsider, no matter who this matter is placed on, it is impossible to face it calmly. More crucially, this happened within the royal family.
was originally a mother and son, but because of the appearance of Tang Ning, the established fate of the two Rao has been greatly deviated. The Holy Empress accepted the remaining people, and the remaining people were also given the opportunity to participate in the imperial government.
With the more and more mature governance of the rest of the people, as more and more ministers stand in line, the Holy Queen Niangniang never cared, and now it is a little tasteful, and the mother-son relationship that cannot stand the test can be ignited with just a fire.
Now, with the actions of the rest of the people, this fire naturally ignited.
For the Holy Queen Niang who has a strong desire to control, she can give power to the rest of the people, or she can willingly entrust the country to the rest of the people. But she couldn't accept the choice she was forced to make, which would make her feel provoked.
And Yu Rao's actions, in the eyes of the Holy Queen Niangniang, are tantamount to telling her again: I want to seize power!
It is also for this reason that the Holy Queen Niangniang has this question. After all, although Yu Yu was born to her, she was not raised, she couldn't figure out Yu Rao's temperament, and naturally she didn't understand what Yu Yu thought in his heart.
"The rest of the people are very grateful for Your Majesty's intentions, although Your Majesty has never raised me, but the rest of the people are all from Your Majesty. The rest of the people have been grateful since they learned about their background. ”
"Two years ago, the rest of the people entered the palace, and they were fortunate to be appreciated by His Majesty, and the rest of the people were allowed to participate in the government politics, and the rest of the people were inexplicably admired. What the rest of the people want in their hearts is to let my people in Dazhou be hungry, have food, cold and clothing. ”
"The rest of the people have been involved in the government since they entered the government and have been committed to various policies that benefit the people. As for the identity of the rest of the people, whether they declare it or not, it all depends on His Highness, and the rest of the people will not have the slightest ill intention. ”
The Holy Queen looked at the rest of the people, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said disdainfully: "It's a high-sounding sound, let me ask you, if the academy, or your teachers, or the ministers are persecuted, what should you do?" ”
The rest of the people did not reply, in fact, this matter was not the business of their mother and son. You must know that the emperor's position is never a matter of royalty. If there is persecution by the ministers, neither the holy queen nor the rest of the people can turn a blind eye.
If it weren't for the ministers' fear of the strength of the Holy Queen Mother, I'm afraid that the edicts would have been placed on the desk long ago.
Although Yu Yu was very displeased, he could not deny that he had received a similar excerpt.
As early as when he received the letter, Yu Yu suspected that there was probably a driving force behind this matter, and even he had already guessed who the pushing person was, and he also believed that the Holy Queen Niangniang also knew about it, otherwise how could he deliberately mention that person.
A person who gave birth to him, a person who raised him, and now the person who raised him seems to have lost the patience to continue waiting, how should the rest of the people deal with themselves?
Silence means that you can't answer, which also makes it clear from the side that the rest of the people who were born in the moment do not have a firm Dao heart that can withstand the pressure for the time being.
Perhaps, the Holy Queen Niangniang also knew his hesitation, so she would take the opportunity to exert her authority and lead to this matter.
After all, as a Six Saints and the Emperor of the Human Race, although she is domineering, she is not a brainless person, how could she be angry because of the rudeness of a person with a deep background?
With the fame of the rest of the people exploding like a tide, the Holy Queen Niangniang may have thought of this situation a long time ago.
It's just that she is his mother after all, and she is already indebted, how can she break out directly?
Thinking of this, Yu Yu suddenly felt exhausted.
Ever since he entered the academy and learned of his identity, he had consciously or unintentionally alienated his teacher.
Although he didn't think the teacher's plan was wrong, he didn't think it was right either.
Although the rest of the people are willing to take on the future, there is not only one way to go.
In particular, when he learned many truths from the dean, the rest of the people became more and more resistant to the teacher's obsession.
It's just that no matter how estranged he is, Shang Xingzhou is always his teacher and the person who raised him. As long as there is such a relationship that cannot be separated and does not want to be separated, the rest of the people will face this sooner or later.
The rest of the people looked at the Holy Queen Niangniang, whose face returned to coldness, he actually didn't have a good impression of her, but he didn't have a dislike for her.
Compared with his mother's illusory identity, he is more willing to accept the identity of the cold Great Zhou Emperor.
But what makes people helpless is that even if they don't want to accept it, they have to accept it, because those are established facts. The rest of the people have no ability to change the story of the past, so they can only think carefully about today's events.
"The rest of the people have been nurtured by the family teacher since they were young, and they have been taught by the family teacher, and the rest of the family teacher's order is naturally not easy to disobey."
Hearing this, the Holy Queen Niangniang's face was as silent as stagnant water, and the pair of eyes that looked at Yu Rao should have been a little close, but they had long lost any familiarity.
Yu Yu frowned, he didn't go to see the Holy Queen Niangniang, but turned around and bowed in the direction of the palace.
Leaving the palace, Shang Xingzhou, who was in control of everything, suddenly turned cold.
"The rest of the people know that they owe a lot to the teacher, but it is a matter of the common people, even if the rest of the people are infamous for being unfilial piety, injustice and disloyalty, they can't follow the teacher's wishes."
"Yu Yu was forced to enter the academy when he was four years old, and when he was six years old, he began to be taught by the dean's side, and now it has been more than ten years.
"The rest of the people may not be the future masters of the Great Zhou, but the rest of the people will definitely be the future masters of the people of the Great Zhou."
After saying this, the rest of the people left the council hall with their sleeves brushed up.
In the council hall of Nuoda, at this time, only the Holy Queen Niangniang looked at the back of the young man leaving with burning eyes.
As the emperor of the people, as the true master of the Great Zhou, the holy queen naturally understood the meaning of the last sentence of the rest of the people.
Although they are two sentences that seem to have the same meaning, they represent two completely different directions.
On the other side, Tang Ning and his donkey, chased by the clouds and mist, came to the border city of the Great Zhou. And the guest who came after him was still nowhere to be seen.
Liancheng, the most popular city on the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, is very dilapidated because it is often invaded.
Entering from the north city gate, along the whole city, there is only one main road, which leads directly to the outside of the Great Zhou.
After leaving the South City Gate and continuing to move forward for a hundred miles, he arrived at the realm of the Demon Snow Field.
Tang Ning looked at the dilapidated streets and alleys, and unconsciously remembered Qinghe County, the border city of the Tang Dynasty. It's just that Qinghe County is hindered by the existence of Qingxia, so it is often harassed by rogues at any time, but it is difficult to see the enemy.
And Liancheng in front of him, because of the relationship between thousands of miles of snowfield, not only has to face the rogues, but also often suffers from the poison of the demons.
This city, which should have a population of nearly one million, has locked doors and windows, and it is difficult to see people in the streets and alleys.
Except for the occasional sergeant, there was no one to be seen. The donkey kicked and trampled on the broken bluestone slab ground, a pair of donkey ears were very high, and the copper bell-like eyes were rarely more vigilant.
"I'm hungry, the guy is looking for an inn nearby, and it's important to find a place to eat."
Tang Ning reached out and touched the donkey's head, and the donkey walked towards a group of sergeants not far ahead.
In fact, Tang Ning's original plan was to go and see the southern world in the legend after leaving Liang County. It's just that when he released his divine thoughts and noticed Chen Changsheng who was traveling in the south, he smiled, turned the donkey's head, and rushed straight towards Liancheng.
On the southern city wall of Liancheng, General Qin Yongqin, who was inspecting the construction of defensive buildings, suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and then he noticed a person and a donkey behind the patrol soldiers, far beyond Chang Rao's keen perception.
Qin Yong had never seen Tang Ning, let alone heard about the donkey, so he was full of vigilance about that person and a donkey. After all, few people in the city were willing to set foot in the city, except for the soldiers who had been sent in.
What's more, with the cultivation of the Gathering Stars Upper Realm, he couldn't find out what the young man on the donkey was, how could this not make Qin Xin frightened.
While Qin was shocked, he was also quite puzzled. Whether it is the six saints or the wind and rain in the eight directions, he has more or less understood. He tried to search for the memories in his mind, but he could not find the young man.
Soon, Qin Yong's attention was attracted by another place.
It was a middle-aged man, riding a jujube red war horse under his crotch, and the war horse rushed into Liancheng. After entering Liancheng, the red horse did not slow down, but galloped straight along the main street towards the south gate.
The speed of the war horse is not extremely fast, but it is far from being comparable to ordinary horses.
When the war horse galloped, even the soldiers who had been training on horseback all the year round could not overcome the problem of instability, but in front of the middle-aged man, it seemed that he had never had such a predicament. The maroon war horse ran with all his might, but he always sat firmly on the horse's back.
Qin silently closed his eyes, trying to expand his perception.
