Zhu Wuneng smiled and said that you are a little tricky, sometimes too smart, which is not a good thing.

I felt so angry that he was more powerful than me and had higher martial arts skills than me, but I was not a soft persimmon that could be controlled by others. So I said, my head is born and my body is given by my parents. It is true that you are the emperor, but it is probably not that easy to make an idea for me.

Zhu Wuneng said, what are you going to do?

I said that if you use my body as the cauldron, at least I will break my star veins and let everyone go. Zhu Wuneng laughed loudly, you are too arrogant. Your current state should not be called my cauldron, but just treat it as a furnace ashes. Don't worry, I won't kill you for the time being.

For the time being? How long does this last? I didn’t bother to pay attention to him and said, if you have nothing else, can I leave?

Zhu Wuneng did not stop me, nor did he need to stop me. Now the whole world belongs to him, and as long as I don’t leave the Ming Dynasty, I’m afraid I will never be able to get rid of his control. He is in a good mood at this moment, and many court officials are waiting for his summons outside the palace.

I hugged Xie Junyan and left the palace and went straight to Xie's mansion.

A cold wind blew, and Xie Junyan woke up slowly. I said with concern, "My sister Junyan, are you okay?" Xie Junyan covered her forehead and said she was a little dizzy. I put her down. After she took a little conditioning, her face improved slightly and she whispered, "Mr. Queen Mother is dead, I can't sense her existence."

I looked at Xie Junyan. Her face was not good-looking, but her spirits were much better. So I comforted him, this is a good thing, sometimes I can't tell you clearly. Xie Junyan was a little sad and said that in the past six months, although I have shared the same body, she has helped me a lot, and she also promised me to...

What do you want?

Xie Junyan's face turned red and said he wanted to help me snatch you from Master Xu's side.

I felt in my heart that Jian Wushuang is a cruel and ruthless person. With my understanding of her, even if she possesses Xie Junyan's body, it is not impossible for her to seize Xie Junyan's soul. How could she be so enthusiastic to help Xie Junyan?

Xie Junyan seemed to understand my thoughts and said, in Taoshan, Senior Jian's soul was severely damaged, and his three souls and seven spirits were half destroyed. If I hadn't used the Yellow Formation Diagram to help her suppress it, she would have lost her soul long ago.

I was a little shocked. One was shocked by Jian Wushuang's strength. After she possessed Xie Junyan, she could not even exert half of her strength, and she had such a realm. If the other gods in the underworld were like this, then the entire human world would probably be in danger. The second reason was that Xie Junyan actually successfully deduced the yellow formation map, one of the three extraordinary formations, based on a broken picture he picked up in Taoshan. Moreover, she did not have any martial arts skills at all. Such talent was really amazing.

I said I'll go home first.

Xie Junyan exclaimed, my father...

The two returned to the Xie Mansion. More than half of the imperial guards that had been surrounded by the Xie Mansion were retreated. A cry came from the mansion. A housekeeper saw Xie Junyan and said, "Miss is back!" Xie Junyan looked embarrassed and asked, "Where is my father?"

The housekeeper choked, Master, Master...

Xie Junyan let out a scream and fainted.

Xie Shiting is dead.

This was not beyond my expectations. Just half an hour ago, Lu Bing, the Jinyiwei, came to Xie's mansion with a blank edict and a white silk. After Zhu Wuneng ascended the throne, he ordered Xie Shiting to write the edict of succession. Although Xie Shiting was sick at home, he did not escape this fate.

Xie Shiting was the leader of the Jiangnan literary world and a member of the cabinet promoted by Zhu Runze. Since he was in power, he has been promoted by Zhu Runze and has been involved in Zhu Wuneng's affairs, which has destined his fate.

Whether or not this edict was written, Xie Shiting could not escape death.

Even if he wrote it, with Zhu Wuneng's nature, he would sooner or later settle Zhu Runze's remaining forces. At that time, it would be as simple as Xie Shiting alone.

Xie Shiting did not write an edict, and his mistake was at most with the wrong old master, rather than selling his master for honor, at least he preserved the face of the scholar. In this way, Zhu Wuneng would not be able to kill the Xie family.

Emperor Zhu Wuneng also understood this, and Xie Shiting also understood this, so he chose to commit suicide.

I have always been not like Xie Shiting. It’s not that he prevented me from dating Xie Junyan, but that such people are too tired to live. Moreover, sometimes they use any means. Just half a month ago, he forced Hu Zongxian to death. Now this ending can be considered a conclusion.

After Xie Shiting's death, Zhu Wuneng did not hold the Xie family accountable and gave him a posthumous title of "Wen Duan" to commend his contribution to the Ming Dynasty in the literary world. This was a good ending.

When Xie Junyan woke up, he seemed to have become a different person. He didn't eat or drink, and he lost a lot of weight in the past few days. I originally wanted to go to Xu Ruonan to explain, but I was afraid that Xie Junyan would not be able to think so I had to accompany her to help her prepare for Xie Shiting's funeral.

Except for a few of the butlers from Jinling, Xie Fen and several servants, the other servants and guards were dismissed. The mourning hall was set up in Xie's mansion. Xie Shiting was a leader of the literary world during his lifetime and was an important official in the court. He had a traffic jam in front of the door every day. Now, a mourning hall was set up, and only five or six people had been paying homage to him in two days.

Among them, Lu Guanzhong, the president of Dongming Academy, who was known as the North Lunan Xie together with Xie Shiting, came to see him off while sick. The octogenarian even asked others to help him walk, but he still insisted on raising three incense sticks of Xie Shiting in the mourning hall.

Others who came to pay their respects were the late-born juniors promoted by Xie Shiting. After the fall of the Xie family, their career was probably almost over, and they inevitably felt sad about the death of a rabbit and the fox on their faces. Some were the local Qingliuzi.

Li Muge, who was worshipped by Xie Shiting, did not come to pay condolences. This surprised me a little. Since the history draft of Lingzong was lost, Li Muge was editing in the Hanlin Academy. I made an appointment with Zhang Youqian several times, but he did not respond.

Hu Zongxian’s experience that day was fulfilled one by one by one on Xie Shiting.

Three days later, Xie Junyan found me and told me to carry the coffin back to Jinling. Originally, when he came to Beijing, the Xie family stayed in Jinling. Now Xie Shiting is dead, and the Xie family is a tree without roots in the capital, so there is no need to take it down.

I suddenly remembered Xie Donglai. In this coup, his appearance was a bit strange and seemed to be inseparable from the secretly manipulated League of Legends, so I asked Xie Junyan about this matter.

It turned out that Xie Donglai was Xie Junyan's third uncle, and Xie Shiyin and Xie Shiting were half-brothers. But his mother was a maid, and he did not have a high status in the Xie family. Twenty years ago, because of a mistake, he was kicked out of the house by the Xie family.

I told you, then you should be careful that Xie Donglai is here. You were kidnapped in Jinling last year, and it has nothing to do with Xie Donglai. Xie Junyan said that with his uncle here, he would not cause any storm.

I said that might not be the case. Now that he has the support of the League of Legends behind him, he may not have any trouble.

Xie Junyan said, Brother Su, how about you accompany me to Jinling?

I remained silent.

Xie Junyan sighed. What you think in your heart is Master Xu. Sometimes, I envy her. If a man is willing to treat me so well, I will be satisfied. I comforted you, you will find such a man.

Xie Junyan said, I hope.

The next morning, mist was everywhere.

Xie Junyan, Xie Fen and others traveled lightly and took Xie Shiting's coffin back to Jiangnan. I hired a carriage and sent them to Tongzhou. Xie Fen had already arranged the ship to wait at the dock.

Before leaving, Xie Junyan said, Brother Su, we have been together for many days, but we don’t know what to see.

I said maybe after a while, I will go back to Jinling to see you.

Xie Junyan said, it’s a pity that uncle wouldn’t let me come out easily at that time. Brother Su, I have a request.

What request?

Xie Junyan's face turned slightly red and said, "Although you have been with me these days, I am very grateful, but I know that you have always been thinking about Master Xu. You know what I want to you. I hope you can kiss me when you are leaving."

I……

Xie Junyan said, from then on, Junyan promises not to bother you again.

I have a different kind of emotion in my heart. If it weren't for Xu Ruonan, I would have liked her. But sometimes, God seemed to be joking with us, and we were destined to be destined to be unfamiliar with both of us.

I also knew about Xie Junyan’s request. After experiencing the sorrow of the family, she said goodbye to me and said goodbye to myself before. I hugged her in my arms, held her shoulders with both hands, and kissed her gently.

This kiss seemed to be frozen.

I remembered the situation when the two first met in the Niangniang Temple. In Taoshan, they shared hardships. In Jinling, she came to me to inform me at all costs. All this came into my mind like a lantern.

I don’t know how long it took, but Xie Junyan gently retreated back and squeezed out a smile. It’s enough.

I looked at her and said, take care!

The butler Xie Fen urged on the boat, and Xie Junyan whispered, "Su Jun, take care!" As she said that, she jumped gently and jumped onto the passenger ship.

It is early spring, and willow trees on both sides of the Tongzhou River sprout.

The boatman broke the thin ice in the Tongzhou River. With the sound of the trumpet, Xie Junyan stood at the bow of the boat, smiled at me, stood with his hands behind his back, and disappeared into the mist.

***

Zhu Wuneng quickly controlled the situation. Even if there was no jade seal in the country, the old man over 70 years old had a way to ascend the throne again. The ministers of Xiao and Liu from outside the capital also expressed their loyalty to Zhu Wuneng.

Especially the Xiao family, because Xiao Dingyuan stood in the wrong team during this turmoil, Xiao Qianliang, who was in his fifties, personally went to the capital to apologize and handed over all military powers to exchange for Xiao Dingyuan's life. Zhu Wuneng did not pursue the matter. After all, Xiao Qianliang had followed him and made great contributions in the Battle of Xiliang. After regaining the military power, he demoted the throne of the marquis of the Xiao family to the baron.

After Zhu Wuneng took power, the envoys of foreign countries began to come to write letters, but Hu Yan, the Northern Zhou delegation, who was originally in the capital, was unable to submit the letter as soon as possible.

In his memorial, Hu Yan Wuneng congratulated Zhu Wuneng on his re-employment of the Ming Dynasty. As a loyal partner of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming and Zhou countries had common interests in maintaining the stability of the world and promoting economic and trade development. The two sides uphold the principles of non-conflict, non-confrontation, mutual respect, and win-win cooperation, and expanded cooperation between the two countries in bilateral and regional fields to better benefit the people of the two countries.

Zhu Wuneng expressed his gratitude for this. In order to take care of the safety of the Northern Zhou mission, Zhu Wuneng sent 500 troops to surround the guild hall where the Northern Zhou mission was located. After killing dozens of suspected Northern Zhou spies, Hu Yan Wudi, Wanyan Cabbage and others left the Ming Dynasty within one month.

One day the emperor and another day the minister.

After Zhu Wuneng came to power, he changed personnel to various departments in the capital.

It is said that Yang Menglong, the chief assistant of the cabinet, is still half a month old and seventy years old, and can retire according to the court system.

However, Zhu Wuneng used the Jinyiwei to ask him to beg for bones. The treatment of the two was very different. Yang Menglong was forced to submit a memorial to beg for bones. Zhu Wuneng was simply, and even saved the procedure of three remarks. He criticized the prize on the same day, allowing the old minister who had assisted Zhu Runze for more than 30 years to leave sadly.

The one who replaced Yang Menglong as the chief minister was 50-year-old Xu Yufu. On the first day when Zhu Wuneng ascended the throne, he knocked on the ground to express his surrender.

This kneeling also brought great power. Compared with Xie Shiting, Xu Yufu was more like a mature politician. Although Xie Shiting was a practical faction, he was too scholarly. His fate was already settled when he left Jinling and became an official.

Our shopkeeper Lu Zhongyuan made great contributions to this restoration. If he hadn't blown up the Neizhuang in time and gave Zhu Wu the opportunity to retake the palace, I'm afraid that anyone would have won the destiny at that time.

High risks will definitely bring high returns.

Lu Zhongyuan was successfully promoted to the Minister of War and was also in charge of the defense of the capital. From the fourth-rank Liusenmen General Controller to the boss of the Ministry of War, his position jumped to the third level. He thought that the position of Liusenmen General Controller fell on Lao Sun's head if nothing unexpected happened, but when he was appointed, Chen Qingyang grabbed the lead.

When the news came, everyone was surprised. Let the woman take charge of a department. When the founding of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to Cui Ronghui, the commander of the Jinyiwei, was the new Liusanmen General Chief of the General Officer Chen Qingyang.

Under the leadership of the new chief chief, all of us at six doors started a war to study the various rules and regulations of the court, so as to maintain absolute loyalty to the court and the emperor in terms of thought.

After the situation in the capital stabilized, Zhang Baiwan also relaxed the control, and Zhang Youqian returned to the Six Gates.

Since the coup, Lao Suntou's seven doors, Thirteen Taibao's sect was cancelled, and he was in a little depressed. He walked birds and drank tea in the seven doors every day, and rarely participated in specific affairs in the six doors.

Zhang Youqian and I were still in the six gates of Jinling, and we were not in the way of dealing with Chen Qingyang, after a series of studies, the matter of our return to Jinling was also put on the agenda.

Ximen Chulan came to the capital. I haven't seen her for nearly two years. Ximen Chulan is much older than before. However, he is still talking nonsense and chatting, and scolding me as soon as he meets her, saying that I am unfilial and can't even bear to send a letter of money back.

I consciously presented more than 10,000 taels of silver that Zhang Youqian gave me, and then he smiled. People said that raising children to prevent old age. I raised seven apprentices, all of whom were dependent on their parents. Finally, I found that I had a return.

I said, Master, don’t worry, my disciples will have the opportunity to respect you in the future. Please keep these money well and don’t let some senior brothers worry about it. Especially don’t hide it in the pickle jar, door jar, and...

The eldest brother added, smelly socks, thatched roof...

Senior Brother Fifth added that behind the portrait of the ancestor…

Ximen Chulan said angrily, you guys, you see, the third one, never take my things.

The first senior brother stammered and wanted to speak, but he refused to say it. Ximen Chulan asked, "Why, do you have something to say?"
