Early the next morning, Lu Ling went to the court meeting with Xiao Tingyun.
The movements at the star port last night could not be hidden from the people in the imperial city. Twenty starships landed one after another with an extremely loud noise. When the starships entered the imperial capital star and were about to land at the star port, even though they were far away You can also clearly see the wolf head totem on it, so the ministers were not surprised when they saw Lu Ling appearing at the court meeting with the prince this morning.
In fact, according to Lu Ling's current military rank, he cannot occupy a seat in the court meeting. However, Lu Ling came to replace his father, Lu Junxiao, and is the legitimate young commander of the Canglang Army. Therefore, even if Xiao Tingyun general Lu When Ling arranged to sit down next to him, no one in the court had any objections. There were even many ministers who knew Lu Junxiao and greeted Lu Ling kindly.
Compared to Lu Zhan, Lu Ling is obviously more valued.
The imperial seat in the Chao Hui Hall was still empty. Even though the Ministry of Internal Affairs was already preparing for the crown prince's succession ceremony, and Xiao Tingyun had become a veritable ruler of the empire, he did not sit on it during the two days of court meetings.
He didn't seem to be in a hurry, nor did he care about the golden chair above. During the proceedings of the court meeting, he didn't even bother to look up.
But Xiao Tingyun is not in a hurry, but a group of ministers are very anxious. Even though the Ministry of Internal Affairs is making preparations, the prince has not yet determined when he will succeed to the throne. Although the prince is now exercising the power of the emperor , but in the end we still missed the last step.
So, at the end of today's court meeting, a group of ministers petitioned the prince to succeed to the throne as soon as possible.
Looking at the pleading people in the hall, Xiao Tingyun was silent for a moment and then asked the Minister of the Interior: "How is the preparation of the Interior Cabinet now?"
Minister of the Interior Noh Baek-feng immediately said: "It will be ready in five days at the latest."
Xiao Tingyun was silent in thought, while the other ministers looked at him eagerly, and even Lu Ling couldn't help but look over.
After a while, Xiao Tingyun thought deeply and said: "Then let's set it on July 1st."
The succession ceremony will be held on July 1st, which is almost half a month away. Not only is it not rushed, more than ten days are more than enough.
Xiao Tingyun set the time for the succession ceremony, and all the ministers in the palace breathed a sigh of relief, and all showed relaxed and joyful smiles.
After the court meeting ended, the royal family's official account immediately announced the news on the Star Network.
The interstellar network is abuzz again, and the whole country is celebrating the succession ceremony on July 1st.
While the people of the Starfall Empire were celebrating the succession ceremony on July 1st, the 'big cleanup' officially began on the Imperial Capital Star.
Especially after Long Jiu got back the special tracker made by Prime Minister Turtle, firefights began to occur in various cities on the Imperial City. However, because Xiao Tingyun was prepared in advance, no matter how fierce the firefight was, it had no impact. When visiting the nearby civilians, because the army protected them very well, these civilians increasingly supported Xiao Tingyun, who was about to become the new emperor.
With special trackers and 100,000 wolf troops who came to help, it took only seven days for the Imperial City to be completely cleared, and more than 900 Abyssal biosynthetics were killed by them.
More than 900 grotesque corpses were all brought back to the imperial city. Xiao Tingyun decided to burn them together and invited the official media to watch and broadcast live.
On this day, a raging fire broke out in an abandoned garbage treatment plant on the outskirts of the imperial city. Xiao Tingyun personally lit the fire and burned the corpses of the aliens.
On this day, more than 10 billion people came to watch the live broadcast room of Interstellar Network, and the money from gifts and rewards alone exceeded the total revenue of the national treasury in two years.
After the live broadcast on the entire Internet, there are only four days left before the succession ceremony on July 1st.
In the past four days, various departments in the court were checking over and over again to see if there were any omissions. When everyone was busy and busy, Xiao Tingyun, the official leader, was free.
His Royal Highness the Prince, who had nothing to do, decided that he could no longer let himself be so leisurely, so he took Long Jiu out of the bed early in the morning. No matter how Long Jiu got angry at him, he resolutely gave Long Jiu to him. Cleaned up and came out.
Long Jiu looked at Xiao Tingyun who was coaxing and feeding him breakfast with a livid face. After eating half a bowl of bird's nest porridge, he said in a dark voice: "What on earth are you so crazy about? You got up at dawn. .”
Xiao Tingyun pulled out a tissue and wiped her mouth. Then, under Long Jiu's murderous gaze, he kissed the corner of her mouth without hesitation, and then coaxed with a smile: "Don't be angry, I'll take you with me." Go out and play.”
Long Jiu's face paled, "So you woke me up early in the morning just to take me out to play?"
If you really dare to nod, I will kill you!
However, Xiao Tingyun really dared to nod, and Long Jiu's fist became hardened.
But before Long Jiu could really kill him, Xiao Tingyun softened his voice and continued to coax: "You said you have been in Imperial City for so long, have you ever gone out to play? Is there any interesting place on Imperial City? ,do you know?"
Long Jiu choked when she heard this. She really didn't know because she had never gone out to play at all.
Xiao Tingyun smiled: "I still have time now, so I will take you out for fun today. My uncle and the others will arrive tomorrow, and the commander-in-chief will arrive the day after tomorrow. After that, there will be a succession ceremony. Once I succeed, After getting married, I can’t even take you out to play, and even if I take you out secretly, I probably won’t have a lot of fun.”
Long Jiu frowned and thought, and found that he seemed to be right.
After such a hesitation, Xiao Tingyun made a decision directly, "Are you full? Let's leave quickly while the others in the building haven't gotten up yet."
He said this as if he was hiding from someone.
However, Xiao Tingyun was really hiding from people, especially Lu Ling, who was his cousin.
Ever since Lu Ling met Long Jiu, he had been very interested in Long Jiu, his cousin-in-law. Especially after knowing that Long Jiu was very skilled, Lu Ling became even more interested. Now they both live in the same building. Here, Lu Ling would come to Long Jiu to compare notes whenever he had some free time, causing Xiao Tingyun, a serious fiancé, to be ignored by Long Jiu.
Therefore, Xiao Tingyun endured it for a while and finally couldn't bear it anymore. At dawn, before everyone else in the building woke up, he prepared to sneak Long Jiu away.
After the two finished breakfast in the restaurant, Xiao Tingyun took Long Jiu out of the door.
On the speed train, Long Jiu was still holding a bottle of breakfast milk and sipping it. Looking at the route and destination determined by Xiao Tingyun, Long Jiu asked doubtfully: "Where is the ninth district?"
"Wine City." Xiao Tingyun held the steering wheel with one hand, and pinched Long Jiu's face gently with the other hand as if it was itching. He said with a smile: "There is a Drunken Red Sea in the Wine City. I will take you there to play. .”
When she heard that she was going to the beach, Long Jiu immediately became energetic. She took a deep sip and drank the rest of the breakfast milk in the bottle before saying, "Would you like to go to the sea?"
Xiao Tingyun was silent for a moment, remembering the previous two experiences of going into the sea with her, and said with some difficulty: "The kind of going into the sea you mentioned may not be possible."
Long Jiu frowned: "Why not?"
Xiao Tingyun explained: "Because the Drunken Red Sea is one of the most famous scenic spots in the wine city. There are many people visiting the beach, and there are many people even in the sea."
Long Jiu looked surprised, thinking that he heard wrongly, "There are also many people in the sea?"
Xiao Tingyun nodded and continued to explain: "The bottom of the Drunken Red Sea has been built into an underwater amusement park. There are 101 tunnels leading to the bottom of the sea, and an underwater world has been built underneath."
Long Jiu's eyes lit up and asked: "So you took me there just to play in the underwater world?"
"Yes." Xiao Tingyun nodded, glanced at Long Jiu with a smile, and said, "I think you will like it there."
Long Jiu blinked, then straightened his expression, and said deliberately: "Then you have to see it to know if I like it. If I don't like it and don't find it fun, I will definitely ask you to pay for disturbing my sleep. It’s the account.”
"Okay." Xiao Tingyun smiled and nodded, coaxing her and saying, "If you think it's not good there and don't like it, I'll do whatever you want."
Long Jiu pursed her lips and smiled again, but she still pretended to be reserved and asked, "How long will it take?"
"Two hours," Xiao Tingyun said, "If you feel sleepy, you can sleep for a while, and I'll wake you up when it's late."
Long Jiu was not polite to him, and immediately lowered the back of the chair a little, and then took the pillow on the back seat. After lying down, she did not close her eyes immediately, but looked at Xiao Tingyun without blinking. , with a half-smile and said: "Brother, I think your narrow-mindedness is getting bigger and smaller."
When Xiao Tingyun heard this, he looked at her and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Long Jiu smiled and said, "I believe you when you say you brought me out to play, but you didn't bring me out just for fun."
Xiao Tingyun smiled: "Then what else do you think I want?"
Long Jiu rolled his eyes at him and snorted: "Why else? I just don't want your cousin to drag me into sparring with you anymore. When I was sparring with him in the past two days, your face was getting worse every day. An ugly day.”
Xiao Tingyun narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Long Jiu dangerously, gritted his teeth and said, "So you know everything?"
Long Jiu was not afraid of him at all: "Not only do I know it, but your good cousin also knows it. Didn't you realize that he did it on purpose these past two days? Just to watch your good show, you went to bed His condom.”
Xiao Tingyun glared at her angrily, "You know he did it on purpose, but you still cooperate with him so much. You are really my biological daughter-in-law!"
Long Jiu spat at him, "What are you calling? Who is your wife!"
"You, it's you." Xiao Tingyun snorted, looked at her sideways and asked, "Did I say something wrong?"
Long Jiu wanted to say that you were wrong, but when he met Xiao Tingyun's slightly unkind and dangerous gaze, Long Jiu immediately gave in and said: "You are right, I am your biological wife. .”
Xiao Tingyun was satisfied and cursed with a smile: "You know you are my biological wife, but you still turn your elbows outward, you little white-eyed wolf."
"I am a dragon, a real dragon!" Long Jiu shouted dissatisfied.
Xiao Tingyun changed his words calmly: "That's the little white-eyed dragon."
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 dark face is. Not only your cousin likes to see it, but I also like to see it."
Xiao Tingyun laughed angrily at her words. He had never seen such a naughty daughter-in-law. He said angrily: "Go to sleep with you. I'll call you when it's time to get there."
Long Jiu immediately closed her eyes obediently. She really still wanted to sleep, but she was woken up too early today.
But Long Jiu was not asleep either. Before Xiao Tingyun called her, she only slept for a short while and then she couldn't sleep anymore.
When she opened her eyes and looked at the time, she had been squinting for about forty minutes.
Xiao Tingyun was a little surprised to see her waking up, and asked, "Why aren't you sleeping?"
Long Jiu sat up holding the pillow and complained: "There is no bed to sleep comfortably." After saying that, he turned his head and glanced out the window. At this time, they were still in the air tunnel. Long Jiu asked: "Are we here now?" Where is it?"
Xiao Tingyun: "Just passed the fifth district."
Long Jiu nodded, nestled in the passenger seat and started playing with her personal terminal. She didn't know what she was looking at. Her fingers flipping through the interface were so fast that afterimages appeared. Then she didn't know what she saw. Her fingers while flipping through the interface paused. , then made a sound, looked up at Xiao Tingyun, and said in surprise: "The fifty thousand royal troops who entered the chaotic star field came out?"
As she spoke, she opened the Star Network virtual screen and pointed it at Xiao Tingyun's eyes.
Xiao Tingyun glanced at it casually, and then said: "Well, the dynamic photos are all there, so they should be out."
Seeing that he didn't have any special reaction, Long Jiu pulled the virtual screen in front of her eyes. While browsing, she asked, "Did they rescue Xiao Xingze?"
"No." Xiao Tingyun shook his head, "It should be that we can't find talents to quit."
"Xiao Xingze is actually in your hands." Long Jiu tilted her head to look at him.
Xiao Tingyun smiled when he heard this and admitted generously: "It is indeed in my hands."
Long Jiu snorted, "I think the 50,000 royal troops who entered the Chaotic Star Territory to look for people are quite pitiful. They were fooled around by you. Not only were they unable to save Xiao Xingze, but after they came out of the Chaotic Star Territory, the empire's Everything has changed."
Xiao Tingyun chuckled in response to her words.
Long Jiu rolled his eyes and asked: "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 about them returning to the Imperial Capital Star? "
However, Long Jiu stared at Xiao Tingyun for a long time. Not only did he not see fear on his face, he didn't even see worry or nervousness.
Long Jiu reached out to poke him and urged: "Asking you, are you really not worried at all?"
Xiao Tingyun glanced at her with a half-smile, and answered completely: "Have you seen Gu Huaijing in the past few days?"
Long Jiu was stunned when she heard this. She didn't quite understand what he meant by asking this, but she still thought about it seriously and found that she hadn't seen Gu Huaijing for several days. It seemed that she hadn't seen him since the day of the palace change. been.
Long Jiu blinked and looked at Xiao Tingyun.
Xiao Tingyun said meaningfully: "Gu Huaijing is currently outside the Chaos Star Territory."
Long Jiu: "????"
Xiao Tingyun smiled and added: "As early as three days ago, Gu Huaijing had arrived outside the Chaotic Star Territory, and before him there were the Marshal and the 30,000 Long family troops brought by the Marshal. However, the commander-in-chief did not stay there longer. After all, he had to rush back to the Imperial Capital Star to attend my succession ceremony. However, the commander-in-chief left the 30,000 Long family troops there. Gu Huaijing could temporarily take over the three troops as soon as he passed there. Thousands of people.”
Long Jiu: "."
Why didn't she know anything? ? ?
Long Jiu was stunned for a while, then stared at Xiao Tingyun and said incredulously: "You and that old man had a plan a long time ago?!"
Xiao Tingyun did not deny it, but nodded and admitted: "It is indeed true."
Long Jiu stared at him, not knowing what to say for a moment.
She had lived tens of thousands of years in vain, but her brain was still not as flexible as that of Xiao Tingyun, who only lived for more than twenty years!
Xiao Tingyun smiled and stretched out his hand to rub Long Jiu's head, and after wiping away the hair that had fallen asleep on her head, he slowly explained: "Although the Royal Army is Xiao Junchen's people, the fifty thousand Some of my people were also placed among the people, so I was able to know the situation there in advance, so I made preparations in advance."
Long Jiu looked at him speechlessly and choked.
Xiao Tingyun continued to explain: "Those 50,000 people were carefully trained by the empire. I can't really give up on them, so Gu Huaijing led 30,000 Long Family troops to guard outside the Chaotic Star Territory, waiting for them to come out. Let’s bring it back together.”
"Will you take action?" Long Jiu asked with concern.
Xiao Tingyun shook his head, "The person who led the troops into the Chaotic Star Territory this time was General Langqiu. Although he is Xiao Junchen's man, Langqiu is a smart man. Smart people will look at moderation. After Xiao Junchen's crimes are exposed to the world , Langqiu will not make unnecessary sacrifices."
Long Jiu nodded and asked: "Aren't you worried that even if he surrenders now, he will be submissive in his heart?"
Xiao Tingyun smiled and said: "He won't. Lang Qiu knows how to choose, and he also knows that I don't care that he was Xiao Junchen's person. What I care about is what he will do in the future. As long as he is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, I will Use him."
Xiao Tingyun is not worried at all that Lang Qiu was once promoted by Xiao Junchen, and he does not care. Just like the emperor's party and the prince's party in the court meeting, now the dust has settled, whether it is Xiao Junchen, Xiao Xingze or No matter Xiao Xingyang, they all lost. The loser has no future and future, and he will be the new emperor of the Xingluo Empire, so no matter who they were before, he will dare to use them as long as they are useful to the country.
He was afraid that those people would disobey his orders, because he had the confidence to control them. He was also afraid of what those people would do in private. As long as they dared to reach out to do something, he would dare to cut off their outstretched hands.
When the new emperor succeeds to the throne, it is the time when he needs to establish his authority. He is not afraid that they will take action, but he is afraid that they will not take action. Otherwise, how can he scare the monkeys?
Xiao Tingyun harbored murderous intent in his heart, but remained calm. He was just waiting to see if anyone dared to cause trouble. However, after the palace change, everything at the court was as usual, and everyone even behaved honestly. Instead, he let He missed an opportunity to scare the monkeys, and Xiao Tingyun was quite sorry for this.
