When the people of each family received the news of Wanhua Pavilion, they had already arrived.

It's just that when the prince's close attendant Lu Chengen appeared, everyone stopped tacitly.

No matter how many people are looking forward to the death of the crown prince, and how many people are secretly taking refuge with the prince, as long as he is still alive for a day, then he will still be the prince in charge of the country, the temporary ruler of this empire.

In his hands, he still holds a huge amount of power and power.

After Lu Chengen left, the people of each family came to Wanhua Pavilion.

Looking at the people who came from each family, everyone was silent, and they didn't dare to take a breath.

It is foreseeable that tomorrow's court will inevitably have some arguments and verbal wars.

But in the final analysis, it was Xiao Yansheng and others who were at fault.

framed and even sent people to attack and kill the envoys of the Golden Horde, if this caused a war between the two countries, no one could afford this crime.

At this moment, everyone found out that the message brought by the prince to Lu Chengen was better said to be for everyone.

This kind of thing is a great crime to kill any ordinary person, and at the worst it will be exiled for 3,000 miles and go to the bitter cold land on the border to serve as a forced laborer.

The prince's meaning is obvious, the face has been given to you.

It can be seen that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is in charge of the country, is indeed angry.

The faces of the people of each family were gloomy, and they left Wanhua Pavilion with Xiao Yansheng and the others.

Cheng Anhou is a man in his fifties, with a resolute and martial face, which invisibly gives people a sense of majesty.

His eyes seemed to radiate a fierce light like a tiger and a leopard.

Although they did not deliberately release their momentum, everyone still felt an indescribable pressure.

The Marquis of Cheng'an was originally born in the army, and when he fought with the Northern Barbarians, he saved 3,849 heads in the military tent, including a leader of the eight tribes of the Golden Horde.

Although the Golden Horde is respected by the Wanyan clan, the strength of the other seven tribes is not weak.

If it weren't for the inability of the eight departments to work together, maybe the old barbarian king would have already waved his troops south.

Being able to cut off the head of an eight-tribe leader shows his strength.

In recent years, since the removal of military power, Cheng'anhou has become extremely low-key.

Cheng Anhou walked into the pavilion expressionlessly, glanced at the seriously injured little marquis Xue Lie, just calmly reached out and picked him up, and then strode out of the Wanhua Pavilion.

Although he didn't say a word the whole time, everyone felt a deep chill at this moment.

Sometimes the silence is even more frightening.

……

East Palace,

Hall of Prayer.

Lu Chengen, who went to Wanhua Pavilion to convey the message, walked slowly into the main hall and saluted respectfully: "Your Highness! ”

Prince Xia Jingyi sat behind the table, and there was a stack of folds on the table.

For this scene, Lu Chengen was already surprised, he persuaded him, but he couldn't be clearer about His Highness's temper.

So he stopped persuading him later.

Xia Jingyi's eyes raised slightly, and he chuckled: "I'm afraid the people of those families are not very happy, right?" ”

Lu Chengen did not speak.

In fact, he couldn't understand that this time the prince's punishment seemed to be too severe.

I am afraid that this move will cause those few people to be even more dissatisfied.

Of course, they may not dare to do anything to the prince, but that Lord Shen is afraid that it will be miserable, and it is indispensable to be targeted.

How could those families give up easily?

This time, the families are completely disgraced.

Xia Jingyi coughed and said softly: "Over the years, the few of them have been too close to the younger brothers of the lonely family, and they have done a lot of things, so it's time to beat them." ”

"Actually, I hope that they can achieve something after some training in the frontier."

In his opinion, the ability of these noble children is not weak, and even he knows very well that few of the children of the poor families he has promoted can compare with them.

It's just that their background is destined to make it difficult for them to integrate into Dayan.

Xia Jingyi looked up at Lu Chengen and asked, "What did Shen Duke say?" ”

Lu Chengen shook his head and said, "Lord Shen didn't say anything. ”

Xia Jingyi fell silent.

He hoped that Shen Du could say something.

He didn't have much time, so there were some things that he had to plan ahead of.

"Forget it!"

"Let's stop here."

Xia Jingyi picked up a copy of the music again, bowed his head and read it.

Lu Chengen walked aside, made a cup of ginseng tea, and gently handed it to Xia Jingyi's hand.

After doing all this, Lu Chengen stood quietly aside.

This scene has been staged many times between the master and servant.

……

The next day, the news about Wanhua Pavilion last night spread throughout Yanjing City.

The entire Yanjing City was an instant sensation!

The streets and alleys, the teahouses and pubs everywhere, are almost all talking about this matter.

Shen Du is seventh on the list, and he can be said to be famous for a while.

On the contrary, Shangguan Renxuan, the true descendant of the Shushan Sword Sect, as well as Xiao Yansheng and several other noble sons were discredited.

The rivers and lakes are like this, if you want to be famous, stepping on others is undoubtedly the fastest one.

Shangguan Renxuan thinks the same way, but the difference is that he belongs to the losing side.

Many people who witnessed that battle said that the strength of Shen Du and Shangguan Renxuan may have far exceeded the ranking of the list.

It's just that they haven't really fought against the top of the list, and this statement was quickly overturned.

At this time, in the Three Princes' Mansion,

Xia Xingye had a gloomy face, looked at the shopkeeper of Wanhua Pavilion who was kneeling on the ground, and said slightly angrily: "Get out!" ”

Rao is his city, and it is difficult to speak calmly at this moment.

500,000 taels!

Wanhua Pavilion's loss this time was at least 500,000 taels, even for him, this 500,000 taels was not a small amount.

In the Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion, he put a lot of effort into it.

Many of these things are long-lost antiquities, and there is probably only one in the world.

"Bang!"

Xia Xingye slapped his palm on the table, his eyes revealed a touch of gloom, and he said coldly: "Shen Du-"

That guy clearly knew that Wanhua Pavilion was his property, so he did it on purpose.

But he had to swallow it.

The old eunuch who was serving on the side was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, if you don't ask someone to help, get rid of him......"

Unexpectedly, in just over a year, this person has come to this point, as if he is a big trouble.

He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would eventually become a problem.

Xia Xingye's eyes flashed, a little moved, and he quickly shook his head again: "No." ”

"Now that the Ascension Banquet is about to be held, the royal brother in the palace has appointed him to be a judge, the other courtyard where he lives belongs to the East Palace, and it is close to the palace, once he starts, it will cause a lot of trouble."

"Those brothers in this palace are probably waiting for this palace to make a move."

What he was afraid of was never Shen Du, but his brothers.

They wish they had made a mistake and ruined the reputation they had built.

At this moment, Xia Xingye frowned slightly, looked up at the outside of the house, and his expression became solemn.

In the courtyard, at some point, a figure wearing a cloak and a hat appeared.

Suddenly, five black-clothed figures flashed in Xia Xingye's room, guarding in front of Xia Xingye.

"Xiangxi Five Ghost ......"

"The third prince is a good means, and even these few people have been secretly recruited."

A hoarse and deep voice sounded slowly.

Xia Xingye frowned, a slight hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Who is Your Excellency?" ”

can recognize these five ghosts in Xiangxi, and it must not be a simple person.

These five ghosts in Xiangxi have been extinct in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and even if ordinary people see them, they will never recognize them.

The visitor smiled softly, took off the hat on his head, and showed an unremarkable face.

When he saw this face, Xia Xingye's pupils shrank sharply, his eyes were shocked, and he said word by word: "Sun Hechuan!" ”

Djinn Gang Leader!

For the leader of the Giant Spirit Gang, one of the seven gangs in the world, there are few people in the whole world who don't know him.

Xia Xingye said in a deep voice: "I don't know what happened to Gang Master Sun looking for this palace?" ”

Such figures, even the royal families of various countries have to try their best to win them over.

The sudden visit made him extremely puzzled, he didn't think he had anything in him that could impress the other party.

With the wealth of the Djinn Gang, there is no shortage of money, and as one of the seven gangs in the world, they don't care about power.

Sun Hechuan said calmly: "It's nothing, I just want to talk about a business with the third prince." ”

"Business?"

Xia Xingye suddenly smiled, a hint of intriguing smile flashed in his eyes, he waved his hand, signaled the five ghosts of Xiangxi to retreat, and stretched out his hand to signal: "Gang Master Sun, please~"

He now understands what this so-called business is.

Sun Hechuan bowed his head slightly and walked into the house.

……

Shen Du didn't pay any attention to the situation in the outside world, and he didn't have time to pay attention to it, he had been busy preparing for the "Ascending Banquet" for the past few days.

After all, this is a grand event in Yan Kingdom, and it invites all countries to come to watch the ceremony, from top to bottom, who dares to be negligent?!

However, with the officials of the East Palace and the Ministry of Rites, he has saved a lot of trouble, and these people have organized many heavenly banquets.

In the blink of an eye, the day of the "Ascension Banquet" is approaching, and there are only three days left.

In the past few days, the envoys of the Qianguo, Western Chu, Eastern Jin Dynasty, and even the Qi State have also come to Yanjing City.

Many people from all over the world have also come to Yanjing City, making the city more and more lively.

However, during this time, everyone in the six doors was completely busy.

They are all men in the rivers and lakes, even if they are patient and restrained, it is inevitable that there will be fights and fights, and these things have to be dealt with by six doors in the end.

There are a total of six judges for this heavenly banquet, one in the East Palace, which is considered to represent the royal family, and in addition to Shen Du, there is still a god in the six doors, and the candidate has not yet been determined.

In addition, there is one cabinet member and two military members, which is also to show fairness.

Because there are people from all walks of life who participate in the "Ascending Banquet", it is inevitable that they will be biased at that time.

In the center of the inner city of Yanjing City, a high-rise building that had been dusty for a long time slowly opened.

Flickering candles shine in the attic.

Ascend to the Heavens!

This is built by Dayan when he set up the "Ascending Feast", and it will only be opened when the Ascending Banquet is held, which means ascending to the sky!

This is also the original ambition of Yan Guo Taizu.

Ascend to the top floor of the Pavilion.

Shen Ducheng stood with his hands long, standing here, taking in the lights of thousands of homes in Yanjing City.

After tonight, tomorrow will be the day of the "Ascension Banquet"!

When the time comes, his mission will be successfully accomplished.
