Whether it is starting from friendship or interests, Emperor Yongqing could not convince Nanliujing.

The severe pain in his shoulders and knees clearly conveyed such a signal to Emperor Yongqing: The young man in front of him with his blood would never let him go.

Since this is the case, Emperor Yongqing is too lazy to endure it anymore.

It is absolutely impossible for him to write this edict.

Not only did he not write, but he also spoke wildly beside him, and all kinds of insulting words were unbearable.

The corners of Nan Liujing's lips were slightly raised, but there was no smile in his eyes. He squatted down in front of Emperor Yongqing and gently pressed Emperor Yongqing's head with both hands.

"You're going to do it...... Hmmm......"

Before Emperor Yongqing finished speaking, he felt as if he had lost sensation in his jaw.

Nan Liujing stared into Emperor Yongqing's eyes, his tone did not fluctuate at all, but Emperor Yongqing's back was instantly wet with cold sweat.

"I can scold me, but who allows you to humiliate my mother."

"It's just dislocating your jaw now, and if you dare to say something you shouldn't say in the future, you don't need to keep your tongue."

Deterring Emperor Yongqing, Nan Liujing turned his head to look at Qi Mingxu: "Go and see if your little uncle has entered the palace." ”

Qi Mingxu retreated, and after a while, he helped Yao Shengan and walked in.

"Uncle, you're here." Nanliu Jingdao.

Emperor Yongqing raised his head and stared at Yao Shengan for a long time before he vaguely recognized him from the outline of Yao Shengan's facial features.

When Yao Shengan entered the palace just now, he had already seen the corpses of Ji Yushan and Ji Guifei. At this time, seeing Emperor Yongqing kneeling on the ground, he only felt happy in his heart.

"Why are you in a hurry to find me in the palace?" Yao Shengan asked.

"There's something I want to ask my uncle." Nan Liujing handed the blank edict to Yao Sheng'an, "Our emperor, Your Majesty, has not been able to recognize his mistakes until now, and he is unwilling to write down his own edict, so my little uncle will write it for him." ”

Yao Shengan was slightly stunned: "Is this not ......in line with the courtesy?"

Nan Liujing said: "If I say it's okay, it's okay." ”

The pen, ink, paper, and inkstone had already been placed next to him, and Yao Shengan took the blank edict and walked to the table.

When Yao Shengan was about to pick up the pen and write, Nan Liujing suddenly opened his mouth and instructed Qi Mingxu: "Brother Qi, you will take Emperor Yongqing to the table and kneel and kowtow to repent, and stop when the edict is written." ”

Emperor Yongqing didn't expect Nan Liujing to do this, and his eyes widened in fright.

Qi Mingxu dragged Emperor Yongqing to the table, his hands were pressed and released, Emperor Yongqing struggled again, and this head also fell firmly.

Every time there was a thump.

Nan Liujing nodded with satisfaction and said to Yao Shengan: "Little uncle, write slowly." Write down all the crimes of Emperor Yongqing that you know, one by one. ”

"If one edict is not enough, then write two; Two is not enough, so write a few more. ”

"When these sinful edicts are written, I will announce them to the world, and I will write them word for word in the history books and put them in the imperial tomb."

Yao Sheng's peace of mind became more and more happy.

This joy fell on his pen, and it turned into hearty and straightforward words.

The two sins have been exhausted, and the crime of the guilty emperor Nanling is still not finished.

The four sins have been edicted, and they still feel guilty.

After five edicts in a row, Yao Shengan began to finish slowly.

And Emperor Yongqing, who was kneeling at the bottom, had already kowtowed and bled out.

"I'm done."

After a moment, Yao Sheng'an stopped writing and turned his head to look at Nanliujing: "What are you going to do next?" ”

Nan Liujing took out the jade seal of the country and held the jade seal of the country with the hand of Emperor Yongqing, and then he held up Emperor Yongqing's hand with both hands and helped Emperor Yongqing stamp every edict of sin.

Do all this, Nanliujing put away the jade seal of the country.

"The Emperor of Sin ......"

As if he suddenly thought of something, Nan Liujing changed his words: "Take the abolished emperor Nanling down and temporarily detain him with the sixth prince Nanle." ”

After the trial of the three culprits Ji Yushan, Ji Guifei and Emperor Yongqing, it is time to liquidate the others.

Nanliujing said: "Liang Guangyu, Qi Mingxu, Qi Si listens to orders." ”

The three of them clasped their fists and saluted: "The minister is here." ”

Nan Liujing handed the three lists to the three of them respectively: "While the rain has not stopped, bring all the people and horses to clear Ji Yushan's comrades." Before dawn, all the people on the list were arrested. ”

It's not that Ji Yushan's comrades are all bad people.

Ji Yushan has been in charge of the government for too long, and many officials in the DPRK and China will more or less have contact with the Ji family in order to be able to be officials with peace of mind, and even directly stand in line.

If all the officials were killed with a stick, it would be chilling.

Therefore, the list that Nan Liujing took out was a group of officials who had conclusive evidence after the investigation of the secret cabinet.

If we don't take advantage of the uncertainty of the current situation to carry out a complete purge, when will we have to wait?

If the Daye Dynasty is compared to a big tree in the sky, the people of the world are the roots, and those corrupt officials are pests.

If the people lose their support, the tree will have an unstable foundation.

A slight storm will knock over the tree.

Therefore, if you want to make the tree grow better and make the tree more vibrant, you need to find a way to stabilize the people's mind.

And those moths that cover the trees are like appendages, constantly eating away at the vitality of the trees to strengthen themselves.

Without a dose of fierce medicine to remove them, it will be difficult for the tree to regain its vitality.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, now is the best time to raise the butcher's knife to eradicate the scourge.

The torrential rain, which had been slowing down, swept over again as if it had a premonition of what was about to happen in Kyoto.

At this time, it was late at night, but no one in the imperial capital was sleeping.

The stagnant water that has not had time to recede fills the streets, and whenever anyone passes by, it will make a noise of rushing water. And this noisy noise has not stopped since the rain began to fall.

No one saw what was going on outside.

But everyone can guess what's going on outside.

Heavy rain and killing, dreary and panicked, make up all the impressions of the people of Kyoto on this night.

A little light of dawn appeared on the edge of the sky, the torrential rain gradually stopped, and the killing came to an end.

Some of the more daring people pushed open the windows and looked out, only to see that everything on the street was the same as usual. At best, the streets became a little dirty after the rainstorm.

Only those officials who are qualified to appear at the court meeting know that everything is different.

Late last night, some Praetorian Guards knocked on the doors of all the officials' homes, and those who committed the crime were taken away on the spot, and those who did not commit the crime were told to come to the palace on time today to attend the court meeting.

The officials stood in their usual positions, and as far as the eye could see, the entire court was almost a quarter empty.

Where did this quarter go...... Everyone knows what to expect, and they won't be stupid enough to ask.

"The head of the household, the left and right servants of the household, the secretary of the military department, and the left and right servants of the military department did not appear."

"The people of the Ji family did not show up either."

Some ministers who are closer to each other and have good relations exchange information with each other.

Obviously, in yesterday's power struggle, the Ji family lost.

"It was the Praetorian Guards who came to inform me yesterday."

"The palace is in order, and the strength of the Praetorian Guard and the Dark Pavilion should have been preserved, and there was not much damage."

These officials are the best of the best, and you can guess the general direction from some details.

"Could it be that the winner is ...... Your Majesty? ”

Just as some of them had come to their conclusions, a well-equipped Praetorian Guard escorted the group through the side hall.

When the group appeared in front of the courtiers around the hanging curtains, everyone's eyes fell uncontrollably on the person at the head.

The young man wore a princely black dress and a long sword at his waist.

Xu didn't sleep well last night, and he had a faint sense of fatigue right now. However, as soon as he raised his eyes, the tiredness disappeared in an instant, and only the top of the snow-capped mountain remained as cold as snow all year round, so that everyone in His Highness subconsciously held their breath, and did not dare to look directly at his face at will.

But that brief look was enough for everyone to guess his identity-

Zhenbei Wang, Yao Nan.

So the final winner is not Ji Yushan, nor Emperor Yongqing, but the king of Zhenbei?

Nan Liujing stood on top of the main hall, standing next to the dragon chair, and took in the reactions of everyone below, and then took off his vest.

When they knew the true identity of Nanliujing, everyone was shocked.

Nan Liujing ordered someone to add a stool next to the dragon chair, did not give them time to react, and continued: "I have summoned everyone here today because I have a few things to inform you. ”

The first thing is about the handling of the Ji family.

The second thing is to rehabilitate the Yao family.

For the first two things, everyone has no objection. But for what happened next, the reaction of the crowd was very big.

Because Nan Liujing took out the five sins in front of everyone.

The gray-haired and old-fashioned Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites questioned: "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, dare to ask these guilty edicts, but what is written by Your Majesty?" ”

Nan Liujing smiled slightly, and did not hide it: "No, I ordered someone to write it." ”

The uproar down there was even louder.

Even with Nanliujing pressing on it, many people still whispered.

"Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, this is not in line with the etiquette system." The Ministry of Rites is still in the book.

"It's really out of line with etiquette." Nan Liujing sighed softly and asked again, "What's the name of this adult?" ”

After hearing the other party's name, Nanliu nodded his head: "He refuses to admit his guilt, so I have to help him admit his mistakes to the people of the world, so that the people of the world can completely recognize his true face." ”

"If Lord Jiang feels that it is not in line with the etiquette system, why don't you help me persuade him and let him obediently write these edicts for his own crimes?"

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu's face froze.

This......

Is this something he can persuade!

Nanliujing seemed puzzled: "What? Didn't the etiquette system tell Lord Jiang how to persuade Emperor Yongqing? ”

Before the Ministry of Rites could speak, Prince Zongzhengli, who was in charge of the affairs of the royal clan, spoke: "Your Highness, you are a minister, and Your Majesty is a king. ”

"You are a son, and Your Majesty is a father. Whether it is from respect or filial piety, you should not do such a thing that disgraces the royal family and makes the world laugh. ”

Qi Mingxu, who was standing next to Nan Liujing, sneered at the corner of his lips.

When the little brother Nan was hungry and full in the cold palace, why didn't Prince Li stand up and say that there was something wrong with Emperor Yongqing's behavior?

Li Guanqi, Jiang Ding, and Qi Si also had bad faces.

Qi Si, in particular, was already thinking about putting a sack on Prince Li in some time.

As if he didn't notice their cannibalistic gaze, Prince Li straightened his waist, revealing a righteous and awe-inspiring and unyielding momentum.

Nan Liujing was not annoyed at all: "If I'm not mistaken, you're Prince Li, right?" ”

Confirming the identity of Prince Li, Nan Liujing also nodded.

"Since the third thing I said made everyone react so violently, then let's put aside these five sins for the time being, and talk about the fourth thing first."

"This fourth thing also has something to do with Prince Li."

"I remember that when I was born, because of Emperor Yongqing's disgust, I never went to the royal family tree. So I'm not a member of the royal family. ”

When he heard this, for some reason, Prince Li suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"I have used the identity of Yao Nan for many years, and I have been used to it, and the people in the north only know Yao Nan but don't know the scenery of the south."

Nan Liujing heard Yao Rong talk about a theory called the window theory.

If he says that the house is too dark and he has to open a window, he will not allow it. But if he advocates the removal of the roof, they will come to reconcile and be willing to open the windows. [Note]

It is difficult to get some old-fashioned people in the DPRK to accept the edict of the five sins, but as long as he says that he wants to tear down the entire roof, these old-fashioned people will definitely be willing to open the windows.

Therefore, Nan Liujing continued: "I thought, it is better to make a mistake, and from now on my name and household registration will fall to the Yao family." Everyone thinks that the third prince Nan Liujing has already died of illness in the cold palace, and I am just Yao Nan, an orphan of the Yao family. ”

Nanliujing did not forget to name names.

"Prince Li, what do you think?"

He said this sentence as gentle as he wanted, as polite as he was.

But Prince Li only felt that it was a demon whispering.

What does he think!

He thought it was a terrible proposal!!

Why was he named a prince, and why was he able to become the Zongren Mansion?

Is it because of how strong he is?

Oh, he still has this bit of self-knowledge, he has lived for decades, and he has always been idle and not doing his job.

He can live so nourishingly only because his surname is Nan, and he is the emperor's own uncle.

After such a long time, even those who don't know the situation know that Kyoto has been completely controlled by Nanliujing.

If Nan Liujing really transferred his household registration to the Yao family, the first person to be stripped of his title and demoted to a commoner was Prince Li.

Prince Li was almost about to cry, but he had to force a smile: "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, you are laughing." I'll go back to the ancestral hall right now and add your name to the family tree, what do you think?" ”

Qi Mingxu and the four of them almost couldn't hold back their laughter.

Even Liang Guangyu, who has always been well-trained, is a little broken.

Nan Liujing shook his head: "How could I joke on such a serious occasion?" Don't bother you to open the ancestral hall of your Nan family, if you want to open it, you will also open the ancestral hall of the Yao family. ”

"It just so happens that after rehabilitating the Yao family, I can give my grandfather, General Yao...... Oh no, if I leave my household registration in the Yao family, I should call General Yao my grandfather. ”

Prince Li: !

Prince Li didn't dare to use filial piety to suppress Nanliujing anymore.

If Nan Liujing is forced to be anxious, what if Nan Liujing really changes his surname to Yao?

Saying lightly to retire the prince, Nan Liujing's gaze turned to the Ministry of Rites, revealing the same gentle smile as Fang Cai: "My purpose of raising troops this time has almost been achieved, and after my household registration is settled, I will return to the north to be my king of Zhenbei." This country still has to be inherited by the person surnamed Nan. ”

Ministry of Rites: "......"

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu reluctantly smiled and said: "Your Highness is joking, you pacify the chaos and eradicate traitors for the imperial court, and this imperial position belongs to you." ”

Want to support someone else to get on top?

Those who dare to think about this have asked the Praetorian Guards in the city and the Northland army outside the city.

"I'm actually joking." Nanliujing said, "It's just that I thought about it, I changed my surname, and I am no longer the Daye royal family, so it's time to change the name of this country." ”

Rite Department Shoshu: !!

Fang had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem, and he was really shocked at this moment.

Change the country name!?

Isn't this asking them to be slaves to the country!

Nan Liujing leaned back, revealing a lazy posture: "It's better to be the founding king of the dynasty than to be the ninth emperor of Daye." ”

"I won't be suppressed by the so-called way of respect and humility of kings and ministers, and I won't be bound by any ancestral etiquette, I can interrogate whoever I want, and I can cure whoever I want, don't you say?"

Qi Mingxu already understood Nan Liujing's intentions, and said with a smile: "What Gongzi said is even. If Childe intends to start a new dynasty, the 16 cities of the Northland and the 100,000 troops of the Northland will follow Childe to the death. ”

Manchu Dynasty Civil and Military: !!

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not dare to look directly at Nanliujing, so they all looked at Qi Mingxu angrily, and frantically labeled Qi Mingxu in their hearts as "traitor", "villain", and "ill-intentioned".

Qi Si also joked: "Childe, I think Liang's country name is good." ”

Li Guanqi said: "We started from Yongning City, so it is better to take the character Ning as the country name." ”

Jiang Ding was puzzled: "Then why isn't it called North?" Didn't we raise our army from the north? ”

Manchu Dynasty civil and military: The four traitorous ministers openly discussed the change of the country name in front of the public! This is completely ignoring these Daye courtiers!!

It is they who are guilty.

They actually let this kind of villain get close to the body of the three princes, and let this kind of villain become a cronie of the three princes.

Seeing that the atmosphere below was almost brewing, Nan Liujing raised his hand, clenched his fist to his lips, and said with a forced smile: "I see that you adults are also a little tired, then today's court meeting is here, you go back to rest, and I will go to talk to Lord Yao Shengan about succession and naturalization." ”

Looking at the back of Nanliujing's dashing departure, the adults almost blurted out: Don't go!

Just as Nan Liujing was about to walk down the steps, as if he suddenly remembered something, he turned back to the dragon chair again and announced: "In three days, we will have another court meeting to talk about the edict of the guilty and the change of name and surname, and unify our opinions." ”

The words fell, no matter what the reaction of everyone below was, Nan Liujing was really gone this time.

Qi Mingxu and the others also left with Nan Liujing.

Only Liang Guangyu reacted slowly, and was forced to stay in place by a group of ministers.

After the rain, the weather is clear, the air is very fresh, and the sun is very comfortable.

After Nanliujing threw the question back to the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, it was called a refreshment.

Qi Mingxu and they all had things to do, only Nan Liujing stole half a day of leisure, walking aimlessly in the palace.

"I've lived in the palace for more than ten years, and this is the first time I've set foot in these palaces." Nan Liujing said to Yao Rong.

Yao Rongdao: [I haven't been here much before.] ]

"Does the concubine know the way?"

[If you're asking me the way to the cold palace, then I recognize.] ]

Nan Liujing smiled: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from my mother, I really want to go back to Changxin Palace to have a look." ”

He misses his persimmon tree, and his tree full of persimmons.

[Then go as I say.] ]

Twenty years have passed, many places in the palace have been adjusted, but the overall layout has not changed, so Yao Rong can still tell the general route.

Nan Liujing didn't walk fast, and from time to time he told Yao Rong interesting stories about his childhood.

In the past, on the way to the harem, you had to pass through a narrow red corridor.

Nan Liujing stood at the entrance of the corridor, looking at the end of the corridor, and recalled: "When I was young, I often stood at the other end and looked at this end. But I never dared to set foot on this path. ”

Yao Rong had been listening to him quietly, and when he heard this, he asked, "Why?" ]

"Because I think this palace is full of cannibalistic places, this red corridor was too long, too high, and too narrow for me at that time, as if I would be depressed when I walked into it."

Yao Rong followed the perspective of Nanliujing and looked at this road together: [I'll walk this road with you.] ]

Nanliujing stepped in.

When he reached the middle of the corridor, Yao Rong asked, "How do you feel now?" ]

Nan Liujing pushed aside the branches and leaves that blocked his way: "It feels good." ”

[You used to be too weak, so you would think the palace was terrible.] But now that the entire palace is yours, you certainly won't feel scared on your own turf. ]

"What the mother said is very true."

Nanliujing quickened his pace and finished the road.

He stood at the end of the corridor and looked back at the way he had come.

The sunlight shines through the dappled shadows of the trees and sprinkles on the red corridor, and the time is stretched out in this moment. Nanliujing seems to have passed through the tunnel of time, and in the cracks, I glimpsed myself who had not reunited with my mother eight years ago.

Yes, he prefers to use the word "reunion after a long absence" to describe his first meeting with his mother.

Eight years ago, a twelve-year-old boy stood here, worrying about today's meal and a cotton coat for winter.

The years are fleeting, and he is about to turn 20 years old and is standing in the same place, already worrying about the food and clothing of the people in the world.

This road has witnessed his luckiest eight years.

Nan Liujing said in a low voice: "I like this road. ”

Yao Rong didn't ask him why, but said: [We can often come here for a walk in the future.] ]

After stopping for a moment in Gongdao, Nan Liujing and Yao Rong set off again.

After walking for a full quarter of an hour, they came to the vicinity of Changxin Palace.

The path leading to Changxin Palace was already overgrown with weeds, but fortunately, it was winter at this time, and the weeds were basically dry.

Nanliujing stepped on the withered grass all over the ground, and finally came to the outside of Changxin Palace.

After many years of uninhabited care, the walls of Changxin Palace have begun to fall off.

The inverted "Fu" pasted during the New Year is still pasted on the palace gate, but it has already faded its original bright red in the wind and sun.

Nanliujing slowly pushed open the palace door.

Unlike the desolate and decaying outside, the inside of the Changxin Palace is well kept.

The grass and trees in it are almost all still the same as they are in the memory of Nanliujing.

The only difference is that the newly planted persimmon tree has now grown into a four-meter-tall tree.

Nan Liujing circled around the two persimmon trees, learned the appearance of his youth, sat under the tree, looked up at the red persimmons on the tree, and happily counted how many persimmons were on the tree this year.

However, this year has indeed been a good one.

The persimmons full of trees were dazzled by the scenery of Nanliu, and they couldn't count it well after counting back and forth three times, and finally had no choice but to give up.

The system was playful, and directly aimed at the two persimmon trees and scanned, and got accurate data in less than a second: [Host, you can tell this data to Nanliujing. 】

Yao Rong couldn't help laughing: [He counted persimmons in order to find out the mood of counting persimmons when he revisited his hometown, rather than obsessing with an exact number.] ]

However, Yao Rong still relayed the data to Nanliujing according to what the system said.

Nan Liujing compared the number of persimmons in previous years and exclaimed, "This year's yield is much higher, thanks to Master Liang who has always come to help me take care of them." In order to thank Master Liang, I decided to wait for these persimmons to be picked and send one more basket to Master Liang. ”

Yao Rong boasted: [This gift is good.] ]

Nan Liujing was full of energy, and put his hands behind his back: "I also like this gift." ”

With a slight force on his right hand, he got up from the ground: "But the first batch of persimmons this year belongs to your mother." ”

The dress on his body affected the activity very much, but fortunately, Nan Liujing did not abandon his tree-climbing skills, and climbed to the persimmon tree in three or two clicks, and picked a red persimmon that he had long taken a fancy to.

"Mother, this is for you."

The persimmon disappeared from Nan Liujing's hand, but immediately after, Nan Liujing felt his palm sink again.

A bag of toffee lay quietly in his hand.

This kind of ritualistic exchange has rarely appeared.

Nan Liujing pursed his lips and chuckled, took out one and tore open the package.

In the endless space, after Yao Rong peeled the skin with a fruit knife, he tasted a persimmon: [The persimmon of this tree seems to be sweeter than the one of the previous one.] ]

"Really? Then I'm going to try it too. ”

Nan Liujing also reached out and picked a persimmon for himself.

But after picking it, he realized that he didn't have any peeling tools with him.

[I have a knife here.] ]

"No need." Nan Liujing wiped the skin of the persimmon with a handkerchief and bit the persimmon directly with his mouth.

The astringency of the persimmon skin and the sweetness of the persimmon flesh spread in his mouth at the same time.

He didn't care about this astringency, and solved the persimmon in his hand one bite after another.

After eating the persimmons, Nan Liujing came down from the tree and prepared to go back to find someone to pick the persimmons.

When he left Changxin Palace, he couldn't help but look back at the palace shrouded in the setting sun.

Nan Liujing said suddenly: "Mother, when the affairs of the DPRK and China are sorted out in the future, and the people's lives are restored to order, I plan to renovate the Changxin Palace." ”

Yao Rong was slightly stunned, and subconsciously asked: [What do you want to renovate Changxin Palace into?] ]

"I want to think about it......"

"Changxin Palace is too dilapidated, even if it is renovated, it is estimated that it will not be able to live in people, so it is better to spend a little more money to bulldoze it directly, and then build a new palace on its original foundation."

In Yao Rong's mind, the name of the Star Picking Palace instantly appeared.

She lowered her eyes, trying not to reveal too much emotion: [If you want to build a new palace, you must have a new name.] Have you figured out what the name of this palace is? ]

"I haven't had time to think about it yet." Nan Liujing couldn't cry or laugh.

There is not even a shadow of the new palace, is it too early to choose a name?

"But—"

Nan Liujing paused: "If I really want to give the palace a name, I should call it, Star Picking Palace." ”：，n，
