The entire Palace of the Earl of Xuanwu was already spotless.
The haze of the past had dissipated, and now it had completely become a sea of joy.
The dead had already passed away.
Although uncle Xuanwu was not there, su Peipei, the Countess, decided to make up for the new year.
All the servants and maids in the palace of the Earl cheered.
They happily stuck red paper and set off firecrackers.
The Spring Festival not long ago had been too depressing because of the war.
Now, he could finally go all out and have fun.
Furthermore, every servant and maid would receive a red packet.
Everyone had three red packets.
The Earl of Xuanwu and his wife, Shen lang and his wife, and Shen Wan and his wife.
Shen Langβs parents had been living in a huge mansion outside the castle and had more than ten servants.
In the end, su Peipei insisted that the old couple also give red packets to all the servants in the palace of the Earl.
The meaning was clear. In the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu, the two of you were also masters.
As for the money for the red packet?
Shen lang had a lot of money.
............
The servants in Shen Langβs courtyard were all dressed up. They were all wearing beautiful silk jackets.
βItβs snowing, itβs snowing.β
Bing-er suddenly cheered.
The maidservants looked up and saw that it was indeed snowing.
Moreover, the snow had come down very suddenly.
The weather was clear not long ago, and there were no snow seeds.
Suddenly, heavy snow began to fall.
The snowflakes were as big as goose feathers, and they fell from the sky. It was a beautiful sight.
Then, all the servant girls rushed out and happily played around in the courtyard.
The snow was even heavier in the previous round.
However, the palace of the Earl was in great danger, so no one was in the mood to enjoy the snow.
It was snowing heavily this time, so he could have a good time.
An elderly lady said as she looked at the snow outside while she was embroidering a Kasaya on Shen Langβs shoes.
βThis snow wonβt last long.β
It was freezing cold outside, but Shen Langβs room was as warm as spring.
The fragrance was pleasant.
Mulan was the most beautiful Mulan.
Shen lang was the most reckless Shen lang.
Even though it was daytime, red candles were lit in the room.
The bedsheets and blankets were all red. They had been used for the wedding night.
The injuries on Shen Langβs body had already healed.
Therefore, Mulan had to fulfill her promise.
In beautiful words, Mulan wanted to make up for Shen Langβs wedding night.
This was the first time he had seen such a beautiful Mulan.
βWifey, donβt pity me just because Iβm a peerless handsome man, come!β
βSure!β Mulan replied.
Instantly, the air was filled with flames and wine.
It was like a raging fire.
It was too beautiful to take in!
It was like the snow outside, flying freely.
Ten minutes later, the snow stopped.
Bing βer looked at the sky and said, β how come it is so fast? how come the snow stopped when it just started? β
βYes, the clouds in the sky have opened.β
βAiya, the sun is already out.β
thatβs too fast. How can there be snow like this? β
The Auntie who embroidered the Kasaya for Shen Langβs shoes said, β I told you, it hasnβt been snowing for long. There are no snow seeds or clouds. Itβll be gone in a while.
..................
In the Imperial Palace of the capital.
The monarchβs anger was like this inexplicable snow, fierce and severe.
The entire Hall was covered in dark clouds, with lightning and thunder.
No one dared to breathe too loudly.
No one dared to make a move.
No one dared to fart, and if they did, they would hold it back.
All of the palace maids and eunuchs felt their necks cold and itchy, as if their heads would be removed at any time.
The snow continued for three minutes.
It stopped!
The monarch suddenly smiled. Iβm a little hungry. Go and get a bowl of glutinous rice balls.
βYes!β
The head eunuch left without a trace.
A moment later, he brought over a bowl of glutinous rice balls.
There were about nine thumb-sized balls.
The monarch would get sick of anything he ate, so nine pills was the most.
If there was too much, he would have to finish it, and when he got tired of it, he would be angry.
After he finished eating, it was just right, but he still wanted more.
βJin mucong, the Crown Prince of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu, how is he in the Directorate?β The monarch said.
βHeβs a simple-minded person,β the head eunuch said.
The monarch said,βhe has never left his home since he was young. Itβs not easy for him to study alone in the capital.β Remember, it must be hot and with rice wine. I know that they have rice wine in their glutinous rice balls.β
The head eunuch smiled. Your Majesty, you have a good memory. I heard that not only rice wine is needed, but dried Osmanthus is also needed.
The monarch laughed. then add more. This child is an honest man. Donβt let those people from the Imperial College bully him.
βYes, no one is more merciful than Your Majesty,β the head eunuch said.
The kingβs anger was like the inexplicable snow in the sky.
They came quickly and left even faster.
He was really unpredictable.
..................
In the afternoon.
The governor of Tiannan province, Zhu Rong, appeared in the palace.
βIβm guilty, Iβm guilty!β
Zhu Rong knelt on the ground, not moving.
βWhat crime is the governor guilty of? this is clearly a great victory.β Chou Tianwei had gathered above the eastern sea region and had no regard for the law. The people of the world had been suffering for a long time. If it wasnβt for the war of the South, I would have sent my Army to kill him. Now that Zhang Ji and uncle Xuanwu have joined forces to exterminate this thief, itβs a good thing.β
Zhu Rong laid his entire body on the ground and said with a trembling voice, β βYes!β
The monarch said, β uncle Xuanwuβs Memorial is here as well. He said that he is willing to cut 2000 private troops. He didnβt mention his own contributions at all and only mentioned Zhang Jiβs great contributions. This man is a gentleman. Youβve gained a new piece of land for our Yue country. From now on, our Eastern Sea will be at peace.β
Zhu Rong closed his eyes in pain and said,βYes.β
βI heard that Zhang Jiβs son died in the battle of raging tide city?β the monarch asked.
βYes,β Zhu Rong said.
The monarch said, β itβs a pity that a young talent has died so young. Send an imperial edict to Zhang Ji and comfort him. Zhang Jin will be conferred the title of Eagle general.β
βYes,β Zhu Rong replied.
Zhang Ji and uncle Xuanwu joined forces to exterminate the pirate Qiu Tianwei, β the monarch said. they have made great contributions. His mother is conferred the title of third-rank wife of imperial decree.
βYes!β Zhu Rong said.
the monarch said, β count of jin hai, tang lun, colluded with the pirates and invaded the country. he has no respect for the monarch. he is disloyal and unfilial. β ask the black water tower to cooperate with zhang ji and exterminate his family.β
βYes!β
............
The governor of Nujiang, Zhang Ji, and the thousand-man commander of the black water tower rushed into the palace of the Earl of Jinhai with thousands of Warriors!
Shakedown!
Annihilate the clan!
Apart from Tang Lun, almost no one else in the family knew about this.
Those who dared to disobey would be killed without mercy.
The king gave an order,
strip the tang family of all their titles.
He took back all the fiefs of the Tang Clan.
Disband all private armies.
No matter if it was male or female, old or young, more than seven hundred people from the Tang Clan were loaded into the prison van and escorted into the capital.
The Crown Prince, Tang Yun, was exonerated because he had done a meritorious deed in reporting the incident.
However, because he failed to stop his father from committing a heinous crime, he was deprived of all his achievements.
At this point!
The palace of the count of Jinhai, which had been passed down for more than 300 years, was destroyed!
The Tang family was no longer in the list of Yue countryβs nobles!
............
As for the governor, Zhang Ji, he had received three edicts from the monarch.
The first decree praised Zhang sanβs efforts in exterminating the Pirates, Qiu Tianwei. Hearing that his son, Zhang Jin, had died in battle, the Emperor was very sad and conferred Zhang Jin the title of Eagle general.
The second decree conferred Zhang Jiβs mother with the title of a third-rank imperial concubine.
For the third edict, Zhang Ji had made great achievements in Nujiang County. He had promoted the new policies very well and had made great contributions. As such, Zhang Ji was removed from his position as governor of Nujiang and was instead appointed as the right physician of the Censorate.
Each of the three edicts was more important than the last.
From the looks of it, Zhang Ji seemed to have become a rising star in the political scene, causing countless people to be envious and jealous.
Generally speaking, there was only one official at the Censorate, a rank three official.
However, there were times when a meritorious official needed to be rewarded, but there was no particularly good position for the time being. Thus, they would specially get the right physician of the Imperial Censorate as a transitional use.
This was a lower third rank official position.
Zhang Ji had been promoted from rank 4 to rank 3, becoming a Central high-ranking official in Yue State.
It was really hot.
In an instant, countless people came to visit, and the place was like a market.
............
In the study of the palace of the Earl of Jinhai, there were only Zhang Ji and Tang Lun.
βDuke Zhang, youβre on the rise now while I, Tang Lun, am facing a calamity. The fate of the world is truly unpredictable,β Tang Lun said.
Zhang Ji laughed bitterly and did not say anything.
βCan I commit suicide?β Tang Lun asked.
βNo,β Zhang Ye said, shaking his head.
βYou canβt even commit suicide?β Tang Lun asked with tears streaming down his face.
βNo way!β Zhang Ye said.
Of course not!
Thunder, rain, and dew were all Junβs grace. What would it be like if you, Tang Lun, committed suicide?
Wouldnβt that make you look like youβve been wronged, and youβd die with hatred?
Of course, he had to be punished and executed.
βDuke Zhang, my son Tang Yun has no one to rely on now. Please take care of him on account of the fact that we once fought side by side,β Tang Lun said.
Zhang Ji smiled bitterly and did not say anything.
βLord Tang, please be on your way.β Zhang Ye said.
Then, the Warriors of the black water unit came in, changed Tang Lun into prison clothes, shackled him, and escorted him into the prison carriage.
Two hours later!
More than 1000 Warriors of the black water tower and 1000 soldiers of the Supreme Court escorted more than 700 prison carts out of Jinhai city and headed for the capital.
No matter if it was male or female, old or young, the Tang clanβs direct descendants, close or near, they were all captured in one go.
Instantly, the sound of crying shook the sky!
Countless commoners gathered on the streets.
βAlright!β
βGood catch!β
βThe Tang Clan has committed heinous crimes and should have been arrested long ago.β
βThe monarch is wise!β
Countless pieces of mud and rotten vegetable leaves fell on the prison van.
Tang Lun, the count of Jin hai, was covered in filth, but he didnβt move and let the people vent.
............
On a building.
Zhang Chunhuaβs voice trembled when she saw this. βFather, is Tang Lun that infuriated?β ππ³ππ²πΈeππ―ππ―eπ.cππ
Zhang Ji shook his head. although he doesnβt love the people like his children, he wouldnβt blame the people of Jinhai city. The Jinshan Island has huge profits every year. The taxes on the Tang familyβs fief are not high.
βThen why do these people hate him so much?β Zhang Chunhua asked.
Zhang Ye said,βthe human heart is like water, how deep is it?β The hearts of the people were like smoke, how chaotic. Since ancient times, the human heart has always been the most unreliable thing. When the people see important figures suffer, itβs only natural for them to gloat over their misfortune.β
Zhang Chunhua said,βitβs really a relief to see the Tang clanβs destruction!β Fortunately, the kingβs eyes are bright and he knows that you have done a great service, so he has issued three edicts in a row to reward father.β
Zhang Ye smiled and did not say anything.
βEveryoneβs talking about the position of governor of Yan Province, and fatherβs basically guaranteed to take it. Itβs just that you need to transition to the position of imperial censor doctor you. Your daughter here wishes father a high promotion.β
Zhang Ji looked at his daughter with tender eyes and suddenly said,βChun Hua, howβs your studies going?β
not bad, β Zhang Chunhua said. other than throwing moon breeze in the toilet, Iβm pretty good at other books.
Iβve asked Governor Zhu Rong to send you to the sky-Sea Pavilion to be a scholarβs attendant. Youβll study there for a year or so. Is that alright? β Zhang Ye said.
βFather, why?β Zhang Chunhuaβs expression changed drastically. Whatβs going to happen?β
Zhang Ye said,βgo on, go on!β Since you were young, youβve never been obedient for small matters, but youβve never disobeyed for big matters. This is a big matter!β
βI donβt want to leave my fatherβs side.β Zhang Chunhuaβs tears gushed out.
Zhang Ye said: β go on then. Go now. Weβll leave immediately!
............
Dozens of Warriors from the Blackwater tower rushed into the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu.
The Countess, su Peipei, received the chiliarch of the Blackwater station.
βCountess, I heard that the third son of the Earl of Jinhai, Tang Yan, is in your residence?β the Tang family has committed a rebellion, β Qian Hu said. they colluded with the Pirates to invade your familyβs Jinshan Island. The king is furious, so he wants to arrest the entire Tang family.
Su Peipei said, β thank you for your kindness. Tang Yan did come to my house before. However, my Lord, you know that he has a great enmity with our family. He once had a battle with my daughter, Jin Mulan, so we directly expelled him.β
βItβs true,β the thousand-man commander of the Heishui station said with a frown.
of course itβs true, β su Peipei said. why would I cover for the enemy? β
For a moment, the thousand-man commander of the black water unit had nothing to say.
Su Peipei said, β itβs been more than 20 days since the Spring Festival, but as long as itβs not the first month of the Lunar New Year, itβs still considered the new year. Please accept these red packets as money for tea. Youβre still working hard for the country on the New Yearβs Eve.
A servant came forward with a plate of gold coins.
The thousand-man commander of the black water unit quickly stood up and said, β βI donβt dare, I donβt dare!β
In the end, they did not accept the gold and left.
..................
In the book collection Vault of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu.
Shen lang was writing furiously while the martial arts fanatic Tang Yan was in a daze. Occasionally, he would use his fingers as a sword and stab out. Then, he would reflect on how he did it and how he should adjust and change.
Finally, Shen lang had completely deciphered the ancient manual that the sword King Li qianqiu had given him.
There were over 200 pages.
The name of this sword technique was βthereβs snow under the sky.β
Shen lang was so focused on analyzing and returning the paper to its original state that he did not have the time to understand it in depth.
However, from the name, it didnβt seem particularly impressive.
In fact, no one would know if any secret manual was awesome or not before it was analyzed and cultivated.
For example, the meteoric sword technique.
He was unrivaled in the world after the first sword King mastered it.
Only then did this set of sword techniques become world-famous and overpowered.
After all, these were ancient secret manuals that had not been practiced.
It was hard to say if he was awesome or not.
This was a bit like stone gambling. After cutting it open, it could be a priceless ice seed, or it could be a worthless glutinous seed.
However, the sword King Li qianqiu was very powerful. He could tell whether this secret manual was powerful or not just by comprehending a little.
For li qianqiu to take a fancy to this manual, it must be quite powerful.
here, itβs all analyzed. Take it away!
After Tang Yan took it, he left directly.
There was no farewell, no thanks.
When he saved the Countess, su Peipei, he did not need anyoneβs gratitude.
Even now, he still didnβt know that something had happened to the palace of the Earl of Jinhai.
βHold on!β βIβll give you a set of clothes,β Shen lang said.
βAlright!β Tang Yan nodded.
After a while, Tang Yan put on the clothes that Shen lang gave him.
The clothes were so strange. Why was his face covered as well?
Tang Yan left!
the Masters of the black water station will definitely find him, β su Peipei said. will they send people to catch him? β
Shen lang shook his head and said, β that wonβt happen. Itβs rare for people to be confused when it comes to Tang Yan. If the Warriors of the black water tower went to catch him, wouldnβt they be wronged if they were treated as robbers?β
βDidnβt you tell him to go to the sky-Sea Pavilion?β su Peipei asked.
Shen lang said, β he wonβt go. Other than li qianqiu, he wonβt listen to anyone. He will definitely go back to the sword Island. However, I left a letter for senior Sword King and asked him to send Tang Yan to sky-Sea Pavilion to avoid trouble.β
Seeing Tang Yanβs disappearing back, the Countess su Peipei said, β I donβt know why, but I suddenly miss Jin mucong when I see Tang Yanβs back.
βMe too,β Shen lang said, stunned.
βItβs been more than a month, and Iβve almost forgotten about him,β the Countess said.
Ugh!
The Countess asked,βlang βer, what does the king mean?β I really donβt understand.β
Shen lang sighed too.
This monarch was really fickle in his emotions and was too good at causing trouble.
The Countess said,βwhen will he give the decree to our family? when will he give our family the title of raging tide city?β Only then can it be considered a great success, and the dust has settled!β
βSoon!β Shen lang said.
However, this monarch was truly hard to fathom!
..................
The Zhang familyβs old residence!
Zhang Ji had stepped down from his post as Governor and was about to enter the capital to serve as the right physician of the Censorate.
Almost all of Nujiang Countyβs influential officials were present to send him off.
All the officials shed tears to express their reluctance.
Countless bootlickers flew around.
Zhang Jiβs posture was like he was on fire.
It was too red.
It was too popular!
It was like a Golden Path in front of him.
Many officials had even changed the way they addressed him in advance.
If he had some moral integrity, he would even be called Doctor Zhang.
And those without moral integrity would directly call him Governor Zhang.
Because in their view, the so-called right doctor of the Censorate was just a transition. The position of governor of Yan Zhou was almost certain.
Zhang Ye also accepted everyoneβs flattery with a smile.
When he was the governor, he rarely smiled and never accepted any invitations. He was a cold-faced and ruthless official.
But now, they seemed to be very intimate and concerned about each other.
As a result, many officials were even more excited, and even the words βDepartment Zhangβ were mentioned.
What he meant was that from now on, everyone would be a political group.
Weβre all officials of the Zhang Department, and we only follow Lord Zhangβs lead.
Zhang Ye smiled and did not refute!
After midnight, the banquet ended.
Everyone left!
Zhang Ji went to the backyard and came to the memorial tablet of his beloved son, Zhang Jin.
His entire back was down.
All the smiles disappeared.
After a long while, Zhang San let out a beast-like roar.
βWhy are you doing this to me?β
βI, Zhang Ji, have always been loyal. Why are you doing this to me?β
......
The next day, Zhang Ye rushed to the capital to take up his post!
They had not arrived yet.
Someone from the Censorate submitted a Memorial.
Zhang Ji embezzled a huge amount of ink.
The king ordered a thorough investigation.
As expected, they found out that Zhang Mo had embezzled tens of thousands of gold coins when he was the governor of Nujiang.
The monarch was furious!
Before Zhang Ji had even taken up the post of Imperial Censorate, he had already been taken down by the court of judicial review!
Escorted into the capital!
