239: Take you out to play
Early the next morning, Lu Ling went to the court meeting with Xiao Zhiyun.
Last night's movement in the starport could not be hidden from the people in the imperial city, twenty starships landed one after another, the momentum was extremely huge, when the starship entered the imperial capital star and was about to land in the starport, even if it was far away, the wolf head totem on it could be seen clearly, so after seeing Lu Ling who appeared at the court meeting with the prince this morning, the ministers were not surprised.
In fact, according to Lu Ling's current military rank, he can't occupy a seat at the court meeting, but Lu Ling came instead of his father Lu Junxiao, and he is the young head of the Blue Wolf Army, so even when Xiao Zhiyun arranged Lu Ling to sit down next to him, none of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty had any objections, and even many ministers who knew Lu Junxiao greeted Lu Ling kindly.
Compared with land warfare, it is obvious that Lu Ling is more valued.
The imperial seat of the court hall is still empty, even if the internal affairs cabinet is already preparing for the ceremony of the crown prince's succession, Xiao Zhiyun has become a veritable imperial power, but he did not sit on it in the two days of the court meeting.
He didn't seem to be in a hurry, and he didn't care about the golden chair above, and he didn't even bother to look up at it during the proceedings of the court.
But Xiao Zhiyun is not in a hurry, but a group of ministers are very anxious, even if the Internal Affairs Pavilion is now preparing, but the prince has not determined today what day he will succeed to the throne, although the prince is now exercising the power of the emperor, but in the end it is still the last step.
Therefore, at the end of today's court meeting, a number of ministers have submitted a petition to ask the prince to succeed to the throne as soon as possible.
Looking at the people who were pleading all over the hall, Xiao Zhiyun was silent for a moment, and then asked the Minister of the Internal Affairs Cabinet: "How is the Internal Affairs Pavilion preparing now?" β
Interior Minister Roh Baek-bong immediately said: "Preparations will be made in five days at the latest." β
Xiao Zhiyun was silent in thought, while the other ministers looked at him one after another, and even Lu Ling couldn't help but look at him.
After a while, Xiao Zhiyun pondered, "Then it's set for July 1st." β
The succession ceremony was held on 1 July, and there was almost half a month left, and the more than 10 days was not only not rushed, but it was more than enough.
Xiao Zhiyun set the time for the succession ceremony, and the ministers in the hall breathed a sigh of relief, and they all showed relaxed and happy smiles.
After the court meeting ended, the official account of the royal family immediately announced the news on the interstellar network.
The interstellar network is boiling again, and the succession ceremony on July 1 is also celebrated by the whole country.
When the people of the Starfall Empire celebrated the succession ceremony on July 1, the 'Great Purge' officially began on the Imperial Capital Star.
Especially after Long Jiu got back the special tracker made by Prime Minister Guicheng, there began to be crossfires in various cities on the Imperial Capital Star, but because Xiao Zhiyun had prepared in advance, no matter how fierce the firefight was, it did not affect the nearby civilians, but because the army protected them well, the hearts of these people also became more and more supportive of Xiao Zhiyun, who was about to become the new emperor.
With special trackers and the 100,000 blue wolf army that came to help, it only took seven days for all the stars on the Imperial Capital to be cleaned up, and the abyssal clan biochemical synths killed by them were actually more than 900 people.
More than 900 grotesque-looking corpses were all brought back to the imperial city, and Xiao decided to gather them together and burn them, inviting state media to come and watch them live.
On this day, a raging fire broke out in an abandoned garbage disposal plant on the outskirts of the Imperial City, and Xiao Zhiyun personally set fire to the corpses of the aliens.
On this day, more than 10 billion people came to watch in the live broadcast room of the interstellar network, and the money for gifts and rewards alone exceeded the total income of the national treasury for two years.
After the live broadcast on the whole network, there are only four days left before the succession ceremony on July 1.
In the past four days, all departments in the court have been reviewing over and over again to see if there are any omissions, and when everyone is busy, Xiao Zhiyun, the main master, has been idle.
His Royal Highness the Prince, who was idle and had nothing to do, decided that he couldn't let himself be so idle anymore, so he fished Long Jiu out of the bed early in the morning, and no matter how Long Jiu was angry with him, he resolutely cleaned up Long Jiu.
Long Jiu looked at Xiao Zhiyun, who was coaxing himself and feeding himself breakfast, and only after half a bowl of bird's nest porridge did he say gloomily: "What are you crazy about?" I got up just after dawn. β
Xiao Zhiyun pulled a tissue to wipe her mouth, and then kissed the corner of her mouth without hesitation in Long Jiu's murderous gaze, and then said with a smile: "Don't be angry, I'll take you out to play." β
Long Jiu's face was paralyzed, "So you woke me up early in the morning just to take me out to play?" β
If you really dare to nod, I'll kill you!
However, Xiao Zhiyun really dared to nod, and Long Jiu's fists were hard.
However, before Long Jiu could really kill him, Xiao Zhiyun softened his voice and continued to coax: "You said that you have been in the Imperial Capital Star for so long, have you ever gone out to play once?" Do you know what's interesting on the Imperial Capital Star? β
Long Jiu choked when she heard this, she really didn't know, because she hadn't gone out to play at all.
Xiao Zhiyun smiled: "While I still have time now, so I'll take you out to play today, tomorrow Uncle and they will arrive, and the day after tomorrow the handsome should also arrive, and then there will be the succession ceremony, and once I succeed to the throne, even if I want to take you out to play, it is not very good, even if I secretly take you out, it is estimated that I will not be able to have fun." β
Long Jiu frowned and thought about it, and found that he really didn't seem to be wrong.
Then after such a hesitation, Xiao Zhiyun directly clapped the decision, "Have you eaten enough?" Before the others in the building got up, we hurried away. β
It's like you're hiding from someone.
However, Xiao Zhiyun was really hiding from people, and he was still hiding from Lu Ling, who was his own cousin.
Since Lu Ling met Long Jiu, he has been very interested in Long Jiu's cousin-in-law, especially after knowing that Long Jiu's skills are very good, Lu Ling has become even more interested, and now they all live in the same building, Lu Ling will come to Long Jiu whenever he has a little time to compare, causing Xiao Zhiyun, a serious fiancΓ©, to be ignored by Long Jiu.
Therefore, after Xiao Zhiyun endured and endured it again, he finally couldn't help it, and when it was just dawn and everyone else in the building hadn't woken up, he was ready to take Long Jiu away secretly.
After the two finished breakfast in the restaurant, Xiao Zhiyun pulled Long Jiu out of the door.
On the flying car, Long Jiu was still holding a bottle of breakfast milk and drinking it in small sips, looking at the route and destination determined by Xiao Zhiyun, Long Jiu asked suspiciously: "Where is the ninth district?" β
"Wine City." Xiao Zhiyun held the steering wheel with one hand, but gently pinched Long Jiu's face with the other hand like an itchy hand, and said with a smile: "There is a drunken red sea in the wine city, I will take you there to play." β
As soon as she heard that she was going to the beach to play, Long Jiu suddenly became energetic, she took a sip and drank all the remaining breakfast milk in the bottle, before saying, "Do you want to go to the sea to play?" β
Xiao Zhiyun was silent for a moment, remembering the experience of going to the sea with her the first two times, and said a little indescribably: "The kind of sea play you said may not work." β
Long Jiu frowned: "Why not?" β
Xiao Zhiyun explained: "Because the drunken Red Sea is one of the most famous scenic spots in the wine city, there are many people who play on the beach, not to mention, even in the sea. β
Long Jiu looked surprised, thinking that he had misheard, "There are also many people in the sea?" β
Xiao Zhiyun nodded and continued to explain: "The seabed of the Drunken Red Sea has been turned into an underwater paradise, with 101 tunnels leading to the bottom of the sea, not to mention, an underwater world has been built underneath. β
Long Jiu's eyes lit up and he asked, "So you took me there to play in that underwater world?" β
"Hmm." Xiao Zhiyun nodded, glanced at Long Jiu with a smile, and said, "I think you should like it there." β
Long Jiu blinked, then straightened his expression again, and said deliberately: "Then I have to see it to know if I will like it, if I don't like it and don't think it's funny, I will definitely find you to settle this account for disturbing my sleep." β
"Okay." Xiao Zhiyun nodded with a smile, and coaxed her: "If you don't think it's good or don't like it, I'll deal with it as you like." β
Long Jiu pursed the corners of his mouth and smiled again, but he still pretended to be reserved and asked, "How long will it take?" β
"Two hours." Xiao Zhiyun said, "If you feel sleepy, you can sleep for a while, and I will wake you up when the ground is on." β
Long Jiu was not polite to him, he immediately lowered the back of the chair a little, and then took the pillow on the back seat, but after lying down, she did not close her eyes immediately, but looked at Xiao Zhiyun without blinking, and said with a smile: "Brother, I think your heart is getting more and more, and it is getting smaller and smaller." β
Xiao Zhiyun looked at her when he heard this, and his eyebrows raised slightly.
Long Jiu smiled and said, "I believe you when you say that you brought me out to play, but you didn't bring me out just to play." β
Xiao Zhiyun smiled: "Then what do you say I am still for?" β
Long Jiu rolled his eyes at him and snorted, "Why else, don't you just don't want your cousin to pull me to fight again, when I was talking to him in the past two days, your face was getting more and more ugly day by day." β
Xiao Zhiyun's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at Long Jiu a little dangerously, grinded his teeth and said, "So you know everything?" β
Long Jiu was not afraid of his words at all: "Not only do I know, but your good cousin also knows, didn't you find out that he did it on purpose for the past two days?" Just to watch your good show, you still fell for him. β
Xiao Zhiyun glared at her angrily, "You know that he did it on purpose, you are still so cooperative with him, you are really my daughter-in-law!" β
Long Jiu smacked at him, "What are you calling, who is your daughter-in-law!" β
"You, that's you." Xiao Zhiyun snorted, squinted at her and asked, "Did I say something wrong?" β
Long Jiu wanted to say that you were wrong, and you could look at Xiao Zhiyun's slightly unkind and dangerous gaze, Long Jiu immediately coaxed, and immediately said: "That's right, Benjun is your daughter-in-law." β
Xiao Zhiyun was satisfied, and scolded with a smile: "Knowing that you are my daughter-in-law, you still turn your elbow out, you little white-eyed wolf." β
"I'm a dragon, a real dragon!" Long Jiu shouted dissatisfied.
Xiao Zhiyun changed his words from kindness: "That's the little white-eyed dragon." β
The little white-eyed dragon was also satisfied, and said with a smile: "I did it on purpose, you don't know how interesting your black face is, not only your cousin likes to watch it, but I also like to watch it." β
Xiao Zhiyun laughed angrily at her words, he had never seen such a skinny daughter-in-law, he said angrily: "Sleep with you, I'll call you when I get to the ground." β
Long Jiu immediately closed her eyes obediently, she really wanted to sleep, she was woken up too early today.
But Long Jiu didn't fall asleep either, and before Xiao Zhiyun called her, she couldn't sleep after only sleeping for a while.
When she opened her eyes and looked at the time, she squinted for about forty minutes.
Xiao Zhiyun was a little surprised when she saw that she woke up by herself, and asked, "Why don't you sleep?" β
Long Jiu sat up with a pillow and complained, "I don't have a bed to sleep comfortably." After speaking, he glanced out the window, and at this time they were still in the air tunnel, Long Jiu asked, "Where are we now?" β
Xiao Zhiyun: "Just past the fifth district. β
Long Jiu nodded, nested in the co-pilot and began to play with the personal terminal, and she didn't know what she was looking at, the fingers that flipped the interface were so fast that they danced out of the afterimage, and then she didn't know what she saw, she flipped the fingers of the interface for a moment, and then sighed, looked up at Xiao Zhiyun, and said in surprise: "The 50,000 royal troops who entered the chaotic star field came out?" β
As she spoke, she slammed the open virtual screen of the Star Network into Xiao Zhiyun's eyes.
Xiao Zhiyun glanced at it casually, and then said, "Well, the dynamic photos are all available, so they should be out." β
Seeing that he didn't have any special reaction, Long Jiu pulled the virtual screen to her eyes again, and she said while browsing: "Could it be that they rescued Xiao Xingze?" β
"Nope." Xiao Zhiyun shook his head, "It shouldn't be possible to find someone to retreat." β
"Xiao Xingze is actually in your hands." Long Jiu tilted his head to look at him.
Xiao Zhiyun smiled when he heard this, and generously admitted: "It's indeed in my hands." β
Long Jiu snorted, "I think the 50,000 royal troops who entered the Chaos Star Domain to find people are quite pitiful, they were tricked by you, not only did they fail to save Xiao Xingze, but after they came out of the Chaos Star Domain, the heavens of the empire changed." β
Xiao Zhiyun snorted and responded to her words.
Long Jiu's eyes rolled, and he asked again: "Now that these 50,000 people have come out, they are loyal to that dog emperor, and the succession ceremony is only a few days away, aren't you worried that they will kill back the imperial capital?" β
However, Long Jiu stared at Xiao Zhiyun for a long time, not only did he not see the fear on his face, but he didn't even see the worry or nervousness.
Long Jiu reached out to poke him and urged, "What about you, are you really not worried at all?" β
Xiao Zhiyun glanced at her with a smile, and replied, "Have you seen Gu Huaijing in the past few days?" β
Long Jiu was stunned when she heard this, and she didn't quite understand what he meant by asking, but she still thought about it seriously, and then found that she seemed to have not seen Gu Huaijing for several days, and it seemed that she hadn't seen him since the day of the palace change.
Long Jiu blinked and looked at Xiao Zhiyun.
Xiao Zhiyun said meaningfully: "Gu Huaijing is now outside the chaotic star domain. β
Long Jiu: "????? β
Xiao Zhiyun smiled and said, "As early as three days ago, Gu Huaijing had already arrived outside the Chaos Star Domain, and there were also 30,000 Dragon Family troops brought by the Great Marshal and the Great Marshal who arrived there before him. However, Da Shuai didn't stay there for long, after all, he wanted to rush back to the Imperial Capital Star to participate in my succession ceremony, but Da Shuai left 30,000 Long Family troops there, and Gu Huaijing could temporarily take over those 30,000 people as soon as he passed. β
Long Jiu: "."
Why didn't she know at all???
Long Jiu was stunned for a while, and then glared at Xiao Zhiyun, and said incredulously: "You and that old man have been premeditated for a long time?!" β
Xiao Zhiyun didn't deny it, nodded and admitted: "That's true." β
Long Jiu glared at him, not knowing what to say for a while.
In vain, she lived for tens of thousands of more years, but her brain was not as flexible as Xiao Zhiyun, a guy who had only been more than 20 years old!
Xiao Zhiyun smiled and reached out to rub Long Jiu's head, and after rubbing the dull hair that came out of her head from sleep, she explained slowly: "Although the royal army is Xiao Junchen's people, some of my people were also placed in the 50,000 people, so I was able to know the situation over there in advance, so I made preparations in advance." β
Long Jiu looked at him speechlessly.
Xiao Zhiyun continued to explain: "Those 50,000 people were carefully cultivated by the empire, and it was impossible for me to really give up on them, so Gu Huaijing took the 30,000 Long Family Army to guard outside the Chaos Star Domain, just waiting for them to come out and bring them back together." β
"Do you know how to do it?" Long Jiu asked with concern.
Xiao Zhiyun shook his head, "The person who led the troops into the Chaos Star Domain this time is General Lang Qiu, although he is Xiao Junchen's person, but Lang Qiu is a smart person. Smart people will look at moderation, and after Xiao Junchen's crime is revealed to the world, Lang Qiu will not make senseless sacrifices. β
Long Jiu nodded, and asked again: "Then aren't you worried that even if he is obedient now, his heart will be contrary to the yin?" β
Xiao Zhiyun said with a smile: "He won't, Lang Qiu knows how he should choose, and he also knows that I don't care that he used to be Xiao Junchen's person, what I care about is what he will do in the future, as long as he is loyal and patriotic, I will use him." β
Xiao Zhiyun didn't worry about Lang Qiu at all, he was once the person Xiao Junchen picked up, and he didn't care, just like those emperor parties and princes' parties at the court meeting, now the dust has settled, whether it is Xiao Junchen, Xiao Xingze or Xiao Xingyang, they all lost, the loser has no future and future, and he is about to be the new emperor of the Xingluo Empire, so no matter who those people used to be, as long as they are useful to the state, he will dare to use them.
He was afraid that those people would disobey his orders, because he had the confidence to control these people, and he was also afraid that those people would do something in private, as long as they dared to reach out and do it, he would dare to cut off their outstretched hands.
The new emperor succeeded to the throne, it was the time when he needed to stand up for power, he was not afraid that they would make a move, he was afraid that they would not act, otherwise how could he kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys?
Xiao Zhiyun had a murderous intention hidden in his heart, but he remained silent, he just waited to see if anyone dared to make trouble, but since the palace change, everything was as usual at the court meeting, and even everyone was honest, but it gave him one less chance to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, for which Xiao Zhiyun was quite regretful.
