On this day, Ning Chen and his party arrived in Lingzhou. "Let's go, find an inn to rest first...I'll take you to eat Hu Ji Cake later." Ning Chen said with a smile. He had it once when he came to Lingzhou last time, drinking mutton soup and eating pancakes. It tasted delicious. "What are you doing over there? There are so many people around?" When we passed by the sidewalk, there were many people gathered on the third floor and the third floor in the distance. Feng Qizheng said: "I'll go over and take a look!" Feng Qi ran over and looked at it for a while, then ran back again. "This is Jiang Zhengyang. Where is the prisoner in Lingchi?" Ning Chen was stunned, "Wait a moment, I'll go over and say hello!"
Ning Chen squeezed past. On the execution platform, there were four pillars, and four people were stripped naked and tied to the pillars. Jiang Zhengyang looked up at the sky, actually looking at the time. He grabbed a lottery ticket and threw it out. This thing is also called a life and death lottery ticket. "Execution!" The executioner's big knife was changed to a small knife, and the execution of Ling Chi began. The screams echoed through the sky. Instead of being afraid, the people cheered loudly. "Wang, your lord?" Ning Chen was watching the execution, heard the sound, and looked back. A government official who was isolating the people looked at Ning Chen with admiration and excitement. Ning Chen was startled. He was named the king of the town, and the imperial decree had already spread to all states and counties. But not many people knew about his resignation? The court did not issue a notice. Ning Chen didn't explain either. "Meet the prince, little man!" The Yamen servants knelt down and worshiped. When he knelt down, other government officials did not dare to neglect him and quickly followed him to kneel down. When they heard it was the prince, the people also knelt down.
Ning Chen was a little embarrassed. He originally just wanted to come over and say hello to Jiang Zhengyang. "Everyone, get up quickly, no need to be polite!" The people stood up and asked the government officials, "Sir, which prince is this?" "King of Town." Who is the town king? It sounds awesome. "I remembered that the court issued a notice earlier that the king of the town is Ning Yinyi." "Ning Yinyi? Which uncle will you kill with your sword?" "In the past, those dog officials in our Lingzhou were also investigated by Ning Yinyi." "So it's Ning Yinyi? Then I didn't kowtow seriously just now, so I have to kowtow again." The people don't care what prince or marquis you are? Whoever makes decisions for the people is a good official and a great good person. Ning Yinyi killed his uncle with a sword and rectified the officialdom of Lingzhou... The only person who the people were grateful to and remembered was Ning Yinyi. "See you, Your Majesty!" The people knelt down again. Ning Chen was at a loss. "Everyone, get up, get up...!" Wait for the people to stand up and run away quickly. By the time Jiang Zhengyang ran over, Ning Chen had disappeared. "Thank you, senior brother, for lending me your mask to wear for a few days." Ning Chen smiled bitterly. He didn't expect the people to react so much when they saw him. Pan Yucheng smiled and said: "No need, the people only know Qingtian Ning Yinyi, but very few really know you." "As long as you don't go around shouting that your name is Ning Chen, there won't be any riots." Ning Chen spread his hands, "My damn charm!" Xie Siyu looked at Ning Chen with envy on his face... As expected, being handsome is an attitude. "How can I do this?" Ning Chen was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?" "Beloved by the people." Ning Chen smiled and said: "Punish corrupt officials, eliminate abuses, and work for the benefit of the people... Naturally, they will be loved by the people."
Xie Siyu was thoughtful. "Is that Jiang Zhengyang a good official?" Ning Chen's lips twitched, "He is a good official!" Xie Siyu nodded, "Okay, then I'll change it!" Ning Chen: "???" The group found an inn and settled down. Conditions along the way were limited and we didn’t even take a shower. Ning Chen took a nice hot bath. After taking a bath, Ning Chen couldn't help but sigh... Now he has to take a bath by himself, and Zi Su and Yudie help him wash it at home. After changing into clean clothes, Ning Chen prepared to take everyone to eat Hu Ji Cake first. I will visit Jiang Zhengyang later. Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, Jiang Zhengyang came to his door. Ning Chen welcomed him into the room. "Caomin Ningchen, see you, sir!" Jiang Zhengyang said angrily: "Is it necessary for us to be so open-minded?" "Don't take it seriously, I'm just pretending!" Jiang Zhengyang laughed, "Why were you demoted to a commoner again?" "you do not know?" Jiang Zhengyang shook his head, "I just heard that you were demoted. I don't know the reason." Ning Chen smiled bitterly, "It's hard to put it into words!" "By the way, what did those people commit today? They were tortured in public." Jiang Zhengyang said: "The one who takes pictures of flowers." Those who shoot flowers are human traffickers. Ning Chen said oh, no wonder? Daxuan has absolutely zero tolerance for human traffickers. Those who kidnap and traffick children shall be executed immediately! Kidnapped and trafficked children to death, cut in half! Those who abduct and sell children, harvest and cut them shall be put to death!
Jiang Zhengyang asked: "When will you return to Beijing?" Ning Chen sighed, "If I don't go back, I can't go back!" Jiang Zhengyang smiled and said: "I can't see that in a few days, His Majesty will summon you to the capital... At this juncture, except you, no one seems to be able to do anything to Prince Rui." Ning Chen was surprised, "Do you know everything about Prince Rui's rebellion?" "I only heard the news in the past two days. This old thief dares to proclaim himself emperor. I think he is tired of living." Ning Chen was stunned, "What? King Rui proclaimed himself emperor?" Jiang Zhengyang was surprised, "You didn't know?" Ning Chen shook his head, "When did this happen?" "Recently, King Rui proclaimed himself emperor in Xiangzhou, changed the reign title to Xinyuan, and called himself Emperor Yuan." Ning Chen was speechless. This is the consequence of giving too much power to the prince. But King Rui is really a thief. He ran to the territory of Daxuan and proclaimed himself emperor... Your Majesty must be mad to death, right? "Let's go, I've prepared a banquet, let's eat and chat... I guess in a few days, Your Majesty will summon you to Beijing." "It's a pity that I have parents to support, otherwise I would have to follow you to the battlefield." Ning Chen frowned slightly. It's impossible for Emperor Xuan to summon him to Beijing? Emperor Xuan has this idea, and the civil and military officials in the court will not agree. Poor Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if this broken emperor is not a good person...No one in the royal family is a good person. He wanted to write a letter to Emperor Xuan, passing the throne to the eldest prince... and take him to travel around. ...... The capital, the imperial study! The left and right prime ministers, the six ministers and other court officials were all there. Emperor Xuan frowned and looked ugly. He was so anxious these days that his mouth was covered with blisters. Bang! ! ! Emperor Xuan slammed the letter in his hand on the dragon table, and the ministers were frightened. "Shameless traitor, traitor...!" This letter was sent by Prince Rui, who wanted Emperor Xuan to recognize the existence of Yuan and demanded one country, two systems. This was simply slapping Emperor Xuan in the face with a brick. How could another country be allowed to exist on the land of Great Xuan, and another emperor would emerge.
Moreover, Prince Rui said in the letter that if he was not recognized as the emperor, he would form an alliance with the surrounding countries... This was a naked threat. Emperor Xuan was so angry that his eyes went dark and his fingers trembled.
