That's a testament! ?
It is the edict that determines the new successor to the throne of the Zhou Dynasty.
Just playing around like this?
Lu Ning shifted his gaze to the face of the old sword master and found that the latter was also staring at him.
"At such a young age, my sword skills are good. I have mastered Spring Equinox Sword Technique of Spring and Autumn Sect to perfection. The sword is also a good sword...!" As he said that, the old sword master lightly hooked his right hands together.
The Equinox sword on Lu Ning's waist was instantly unsheathed, making a sword-sound.
The old sword master pointed like a sword and wielded the sword in the air. The equinox sword moved around the body like a dragon and a python galloping.
At this moment, Lu Ning noticed that the catalog was flashing.
I couldn't help but take a quick glance.
[Congratulations to the Punisher for being praised by Sword Master Li Qingbai and rewarded with 10 points of prestige! 】
Prestige: 43 points!
Lu Ning's eyes narrowed, and then she felt ecstatic.
The catalog of Heavenly Punishment all calls the old man in front of him... Li Qingbai is the Sword Master, so the latter must be the Sword Master, but I don't know whether it's the first or second grade?
brush!
Just as Lu Ning was guessing, the Equinox Sword was sheathed.
"Boring, really boring...!"
Li Qingbai shook his head speechlessly, not knowing what he meant by boring.
"take it."
Then Li Qingbai raised his hand, and the edict flew to the eldest princess.
Then he turned his body to face the two of them.
"Life is a choice. How you choose will also determine what your future will be like."
"Take care of yourself!"
When Li Qingbai's voice fell, he changed from sitting to lying down, and actually started to fall asleep.
Lu Ning looked a little surprised.
The eldest princess held the imperial edict, her fingers turning white.
Although the edict is in hand, there probably isn't much about her.
In the end, the succession to the throne may still fall on Uncle Six and Uncle Ninth.
It's nothing more than getting the imperial edict and giving Concubine Qi and her a better arrangement in the future.
"Your Highness, I have the edict in hand, so read it here." Lu Ning reminded from the side.
No matter what content is recorded in the edict, you can only make a decision in your mind after reading it.
The eldest princess was not hesitant, but was afraid of disappointment.
She pondered for a moment and threw the edict into Lu Ning's hands: "Chang'an, help me read it."
Lu Ning's eyes flashed slightly and he called me by my nickname, calling me so affectionately?
Well, if I don’t help you, it makes it seem like we are not a family.
"Then my subordinate will do it for you."
Lu Ning cupped his fists and saluted, then took the edict.
The eldest princess felt pressured, but he did not. After taking the imperial edict, he opened it directly.
That moment.
The eldest princess stared at Lu Ning with her phoenix eyes flickering, her heart beating nervously.
A pair of jade hands were clenched into fists, and the joints were a little white.
Especially when she saw the solemn look on Lu Ning's face, she couldn't breathe smoothly.
This is the first time in my life that I feel so nervous that my soul trembles.
a little.
A smile appeared on Lu Ning's lips, and she raised her head and looked at the eldest princess calmly.
"Congratulations to Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness!"
Hearing this, the eldest princess suddenly changed from nervousness to curiosity. She grabbed the edict and read it.
Her expression was frozen at first, then confused, and then a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
She never expected that the imperial edict would be empty except for the jade seal.
Not a word!
Not a word!
This means that whoever gets the will can fill it out by himself!
How could the eldest princess be so excited?
But soon, her phoenix eyes sank. Under the golden stage, King Anshan, King Yongshan, Qin Zhong, Kou Shize, Gu Fengtang and others were all there.
The content of the edict must be read out in public here.
Otherwise, who would admit it if we leave this place?
However, where does the pen and ink come from on this golden stage?
"How to choose?"
At this moment, Sword Master Li Qingbai's voice sounded leisurely.
The eldest princess and Lu Ning both looked at the latter.
"Please give me some advice, senior."
"Guide, just give me some guidance, just do whatever you want in your heart."
Li Qingbai turned around suddenly, still lying down, and glanced at the eldest princess.
The next moment.
Lu Ning's eyes lit up.
Li Qingbai threw out his pen, ink and inkstone.
"There's no water, you guys have to figure it out on your own!" Li Qingbai said with dancing eyebrows.
Hearing this, Lu and Ning were stunned. How could they grind without water?
If you can’t grind it, how can you write a posthumous edict?
The eldest princess's face turned slightly pale: "Senior, you have so many magical powers that you won't be able to do anything with a little water."
Li Qingbai patted the wine gourd on his waist: "Haha, originally there was some, but you guys came too slowly, and now there is not a drop of wine left."
Originally he had saved a sip of wine, but the eldest princess came too slowly. He was bored sitting on the golden platform watching the fight, so he couldn't help but drink all the wine.
He twirled his beard and raised his eyebrows:
"How about I spit on you some?"
The eldest princess and the two looked stunned and spat?
How much do you have to vomit?
Seeing both of them staring at him, Li Qingbai lowered his lips helplessly and waved his arm casually like a sword.
"open!"
In an instant.
The situation above the night sky changes.
It was as if a shocking sword light split open the vast sky.
After a while, a string of water drops fell from the night sky and fell accurately into the inkstone.
Lu Ning and the eldest princess were deeply shocked by the scene before them.
With a wave of his hand, the color of the sky and the earth changes. Is this still a human being?
The eldest princess's phoenix eyes flickered, staring at the old man with a calm and free face.
No wonder even Master spoke with respect for Senior Sword Master.
How could one not be in awe of the human sword god?
Lu Ning also had a look of respect in his eyes.
He is worthy of being called the Sword Master. The power of this sword that splits the heavens and rains water is enough!
"Boy, what are you waiting for? Are you waiting for me to grind it for you?" Li Qingbai raised his eyebrows and said.
"coming!"
Lu Ning grinned, squatted down quickly, and started grinding.
After a moment, he looked at the eldest princess: "Your Highness, write it."
The eldest princess hesitated: "Is it appropriate for me to write this?"
Li Qingbai rolled his eyes and said: "The world belongs to you. If you don't write it properly, who can write it?"
The eldest princess couldn't help but nodded. After squatting down, she pinched the purple hair pen handed over by Lu Ning.
I pondered how to write it.
After a long time, she started to write.
Imitating my father's handwriting, I slowly wrote the content of the edict.
…
Under the golden stage.
Everyone was waiting anxiously. It had been almost a quarter of an hour since the eldest princess took the stage, but there was still no movement.
No one knows what they are doing up there.
Zhou Xiao's face was cold and he whispered: "Father, do you think she will secretly change the imperial edict?"
King Anshan's chest heaved and he said: "In front of that senior, no one dares to secretly change His Majesty's edict, otherwise the edict would not be placed here."
When the elder Qin Zhong heard this, his eyes flashed. No matter what the edict contained, he had to make a decision quickly after hearing this.
It was King Yongshan, and he gave his full support.
It is King Anshan, and he deserves full support.
Just when Qin Zhong was thinking secretly, two figures appeared on the golden stage.
The cold and bright moonlight fell on the two people, as if they were covered with a layer of holy light.
The leader is the eldest princess with an extraordinary appearance.
Behind him, Lu Ning's right hand was half-raising the imperial edict.
The two of them were condescending, looking down at everyone in the audience.
When they saw the imperial edict half-raised in Lu Ning's hand, most of the people in the audience became excited.
The most excited ones are undoubtedly King Yongsan and King Ansan.
Seeing the expressionless face of the eldest princess, the two of them felt so happy.
At this moment, Qin Zhong stepped forward, bowed and said:
"Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess, your Majesty's last edict should be announced to the world here in front of the seniors on the stage, King Yongshan, King Anshan, and all civil and military officials."
"If you leave this stage, I might cause people to disagree, which would be detrimental to His Highness."
The first person to be anxious is always you, Mr. Qin Ge.
The eldest princess glanced at Qin Zhong with her cold phoenix eyes, and said in a voice like a phoenix: "I have this intention."
Hear the words.
Qin Zhong and everyone present were excited.
The most anticipated moment.
It's finally revealed.
"Chang'an, read it out!" The eldest princess turned to look at Lu Ning.
Lu Ning nodded and glanced at the excited Yongshan King, Anshan King, Qin Zhong, Kou Shize and others in the audience.
After listening to it for a while, you will no longer be excited.
"The sky rolls over the great Zhou Dynasty, and the country stretches out."
Lu Ning read in a deep voice, his voice resounding through the night sky.
Everyone became quiet for a moment, listening carefully for fear of missing a word.
"Concubine Qi is pregnant with a dragon and a phoenix. I have no chance of giving birth to a dragon son. If she gives birth to a dragon son, she will be crown prince."
The loud voice spread again, and for a while, there were whispers from under the golden stage.
King Yongshan and King Anshan looked a little solemn.
They thought that His Majesty would mention Concubine Qi, but they did not expect that it would be this.
But okay, it’s just a promise.
Besides, if you can give birth, you may not be able to support an adult, so just agree first.
Thinking about it, King Yongshan and King Anshan took a deep breath at the same time, nodded secretly, and even felt that His Majesty's arrangement was very reasonable.
It’s time to mention them next!
"My eldest daughter, Princess Yongle, is talented and intelligent, and is worthy of me. She will definitely be able to carry the throne and succeed to the throne."
Lu Ning's voice was sonorous and powerful.
For a moment, there was silence under the golden stage.
No one's mind turned around.
King Yongshan and King Anshan both blinked. What do you mean?
Will my eldest niece succeed to the throne of Zhou Dynasty?
Isn’t this nonsense! !
After a moment, everyone came back to their senses.
"Did I hear you correctly, veteran? Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, will succeed you?"
"It's unbelievable. How can a princess be enthroned as an emperor? It's simply unheard of!"
"This, this, veteran, did you hear wrongly?"
"Absurd, the edict must have been tampered with!"
For a time, everyone started talking.
How could you imagine that a princess would be the emperor of Zhou Dynasty?
Obviously, everyone was extremely skeptical about Emperor Mingwu's decision.
"Shut up, everyone!"
Suddenly, Qin Zhong, the elder of Qin Pavilion, shouted: "Whoever dares to arbitrarily discuss His Majesty's decision will be thrown into death row immediately!"
Zhang Juming, the Minister of Punishment, flashed his eyes. Regardless of whether Qin Zhong was sincere or fake, at this moment he strongly supported Qin Zhong's attitude and shouted coldly: "If anyone talks nonsense again, they will all be put in jail."
Si Zheng and Gu Fengtang also smiled and glanced at everyone: "The Demon Suppression Division's Heavenly Prison is also waiting for you!"
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, how could they dare to talk anymore.
It’s just that Cao Dachun, Kou Shize, King Yongshan, and King Anshan never expected this result.
"A princess is an emperor? How is this possible!!"
King Yongshan took two steps back and stared at the eldest princess coming down from the golden stage with a disappointed look on his face, a vicious look flashing in his eyes.
King Anshan's face didn't change much, but his eyes were cold. He didn't believe what was written in the edict.
He immediately said: "My eldest niece, you are the only one who has read the edict. How can Uncle Ninth know whether it was written by His Majesty himself?"
The eldest princess raised her lips slightly, she had expected this scene.
Immediately said: "Uncle Nine Emperors, what do you want?"
However, before King Anshan could speak, Qin Zhong rushed up from the side and said, "I know your majesty's handwriting clearly. I can see it as proof!"
Hearing this, King Anshan glanced at Qin Zhong. Although Qin Zhong did not support him, he supported King Yongshan.
As long as she is not the captain of the station, she will not help the eldest princess to speak.
"Then please take a closer look at Mr. Qin Ge!" King Anshan said with a deep eyebrow.
Qin Zhong nodded and took the edict from Lu Ning.
Then slowly open it.
Watch carefully.
"Yes, it is indeed written by His Majesty himself, and it is stamped with the jade seal of the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty."
After a while, Qin Zhong's eyes flashed and he quickly rolled up the edict.
After handing it to Lu Ning, he quickly bowed to the eldest princess.
He shouted: "Old Minister Qin Zhong congratulates His Highness, congratulations to His Highness."
"Tonight there was chaos in the palace. The old minister came here in blood, but he is still a step late. I hope that Your Highness will be considerate of the old minister's age. The old minister's loyalty to Your Majesty and His Majesty will not diminish, which can be shown to the sun and the moon."
The eldest princess's phoenix eyes flashed slightly. This Qin Zhong was indeed extremely cunning. As soon as the situation was settled, he immediately expressed his loyalty.
I'm afraid the blood stains on your body were smeared by yourself, right?
However, not far away, King Yongshan, Zhou Xiao and others frowned, and even Qin Cheng and others were a little stunned.
Qin Zhong's reactions were simply staggering.
On the contrary, King Anshan sneered twice. This Qin Zhong was just a wallflower. When he saw that the eldest princess was the successor, he immediately showed his loyalty.
Qin Zhong felt the strange looks from everyone, but his expression remained unchanged and his eyes were firm, as if he was determined to support the eldest princess as the Empress of Zhou.
Of course, some people gnashed their teeth at him and hated him endlessly.
But there are also many people who are still hesitating about Emperor Mingwu's decision.
"I still don't believe it!"
Suddenly, King Anshan clenched his fist and rushed forward with a cold face, snatching the edict from Lu Ning's hand.
Open it quickly and take a look.
King Yongshan also hurriedly stepped forward and stretched his head to look carefully.
The handwriting is indeed that of Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also a dry handwriting. It does not look like it has been tampered with.
For a moment, the two of them looked pale and found it difficult to accept.
"How could he decide like this!"
King Anshan is still unwilling to call Emperor Mingwu his third brother. He gritted his teeth angrily and smashed the edict on the ground.
On the contrary, King Yongshan seemed quieter at this moment. He stared coldly at the edict on the ground, slowly squatted down and picked it up, held it tightly in his hand, turned around and threw it to Lu Ning.
At this moment, Si Zheng and Gu Fengtang stepped forward and saluted:
"Congratulations to Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness!"
Zhang Juming, the Minister of Punishment, stepped forward and saluted:
"Congratulations to Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness!"
Pei Tong, Minister of War, stepped forward and saluted:
"Congratulations to Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness!"
Immediately afterwards, except for King Yongshan and King Anshan, everyone bowed to the eldest princess and saluted and congratulated her.
Cao Dachun glanced at King Yongshan and shook his head secretly.
At least for now, the situation is settled.
Even if King Yongshan was dissatisfied, he could only swallow blood and endure it.
call out!
Suddenly.
Just when everyone relaxed their vigilance, a very penetrating sword light appeared in the night sky.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the eldest princess.
Staring at the rapidly enlarging sword light in his eyes.
A moment.
The eldest princess's head buzzed.
Blank.
…
…
Although the results are not ideal, it doesn't matter. Keep working hard and everything will be fine! !
