"Young Master Wei, this matter must not be settled so easily..."
Chen Zhong swallowed, and wanted to refute a few words.
But before he could finish his sentence, Ning Yuke's cold voice came over first.
"Master Chen, I think what Mr. Wei said is quite reasonable."
"That's it, you go back and think about the pros and cons of this, and list them one by one. We will discuss it in a few days."
"If it turns out that the harm outweighs the benefit, Mr. Wei will not insist on going his own way."
"..."
There seemed to be a gust of cold wind blowing, and Chen Zhong shivered unconsciously.
Ning Yuke's words were not harsh, but the majesty of the superior was clearly revealed in these few words.
"My minister obeys..."
He didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly bowed his head and cupped his hands.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Wei, if there is nothing else to do, I will leave first."
Your Majesty, Mr. Wei.
Two quarters of an hour ago, when Chen Zhonggang came in to say hello, he put Wei Changtian in front.
But now he subconsciously put Ning Yuke in front.
The change in order does not mean that the status of Wei Changtian and Ning Yuke has reversed. After all, Chen Zhong knows very well how the latter became the "King of Shu".
Therefore, his current behavior can only explain one thing——
That was the first time he really regarded Ning Yuke as an empress, not just Wei Changtian's puppet.
"..."
"Well, let's go down."
Waving her hand, Ning Yuke stopped looking at Chen Zhong.
On the contrary, Wei Changtian watched the latter leave the hall with a smile all the time.
He is still very satisfied with the way Ning Yuke handled it just now.
The matter of tax reduction is indeed not a child's play, and it is undoubtedly safer for Chen Zhong to carefully study the pros and cons.
Gee tut.
Unexpectedly, Ning Yuke not only has a suitable appearance, but also has an imperial style in her way of thinking.
Sighing in his heart, Wei Changtian turned his head to praise Ning Yuke and asked her to continue in this state.
However, when he turned around, the expression on his face froze again.
"No, why are you kneeling again???"
"Owner......"
The empress demeanor just now had long since disappeared, and Ning Yuke just knelt on the ground, raised her head and replied softly:
"Slaves like to kneel down to serve their master..."
"I hope the master will agree..."
"..."
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and Wei Changtian abruptly looked away, not knowing how to deal with the current situation.
good guy! !
I have never been so panicked when I was fighting against a third-rank master! !
I have never been so at a loss when fighting against Xiao Feng! !
Could this be... a troublesome woman? ? ?
......
......
......
Dali Dynasty, Kuixing School Palace.
Just when Ning Yuke's actions caused Wei Changtian to have two heads and two big heads in an instant, thousands of people knelt down in front of the majestic main hall of Kuixing Academy Palace.
They were all facing due north, with fanaticism and excitement in their eyes.
True north, this is not only the direction of the main hall of Xuegong, but also the direction of Wenquxing.
But these thousands of school disciples are not worshiping Wendao stars now.
They are worshiping the new son of the Kuixing Academy——
Shen Ran.
......
The magpie bridge comes out in waves, and the dragon car flies out of the sky.
The officers and men were all wearing golden armour, and the colorful group of girls waved and scattered flowers. There were long bells ringing from all directions, and the sixteen academicians of the academy stood around the Huatai in white robes.
And the only person standing on the Huatai is Shen Ran, one of the thirteen Sons of Heaven, who once met Wei Changtian at the Spring Dragon Poetry Conference.
Different from Tianluo Sect's "perfunctory" when Wei Changtian was established as the holy son, Kuixing Academy, as the undisputed largest sect in Dali, its power even faintly overwhelmed the Dali court.
So the scale of this grand ceremony is naturally very large, and even the emperor came to the scene in person, just to give a platform to the "son of hope" of Da Li.
"Senior brother Shen is mighty!"
"Great talent! Great talent!!"
"Brother Shen is born out of nowhere, and my literary career will prosper! The school will prosper!"
"In less than ten years, I, Da Li, will definitely be ashamed, and I don't have to be at the mercy of Daning again!"
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."
"..."
All kinds of screams came from the bottom of my heart. Although they were chaotic, they clearly expressed the expectations of the entire Kuixing Academy, and even the entire Dali, towards Shen Ran.
Unlike Daning, who followed the path of Taoism, almost all practitioners in Dali follow the line of "Wen Dao".
Under such circumstances, Shen Ran, who was blessed by "Wen Dao", became the No.1 of Da Li's younger generation as a matter of course.
And the sentence he said three days ago at the last stage of "The Controversy of the Holy Son" "For the sake of the saints and the masters, even though there are tens of thousands of people, I will go!" Raised an inch.
This means that the entire Dali's literary luck, or the entire Dali's national luck has increased by [-]% because of this sentence.
Such a "sage's act" cannot be overstated. Many people in the market have already referred to Shen Ran as the reincarnation of Wenquxing, and even three-year-old children know the name "Shen Ran".
It's just that although everyone in Dali already knows about all this, it hasn't reached Wei Changtian's ears yet.
But in fact, with Wei Changtian's current state of mind, even if he knew it, he wouldn't be too aggrieved.
After all, he has long since realized... Showing a saint in front of others has nothing to do with him!
In terms of pretending to be forceful, I still have you sons of heaven!
Of course, it doesn't matter how you pretend to be on your own territory, as long as you don't come to trouble me!
It's enough for me to deal with a Ning Yongnian and a Bai Youheng, so don't let others meddle in them!
Wei Changtian didn't know about Shen Ran's shocking move, and he didn't bother to care about Da Li's affairs, and almost forgot about him.
It just doesn't mean that Shen Ran will also forget him.
"..."
"teacher."
After the ceremony, Shen Ran in a white robe bowed respectfully to an old man with a fairy wind and a crane bone.
"The students will leave for Shuzhou tomorrow. I wonder if the teacher has anything else to tell the students?"
"Don't worry, let's talk on the way..."
The old man smiled and twirled his beard, and replied under Shen Ran's slightly puzzled eyes: "I will go with you this time as a teacher."
"Go and meet the Mr. Wei who created the Moonlight Night on the Spring River."
......
Chapter 396
September tenth.
It is a thousand miles south of Shuzhou City.
It is bordered by Shiwan Dashan in the west, Shuzhou City in the north, Ning'an County in the east, and thousands of miles south to the border of Dali.
Although such a geographical location is not considered unique, it is not bad to be surrounded by mountains and rivers.
Since the news that Ning Yuke was going to build a new city came out, countless people have been guessing where the new city will be located.
Now that the answer is revealed, many people are actually a little surprised.
There is no other reason, just because this new city is too close to Shuzhou City.
In ancient times, there were generally two motives for building a new city——
One, the diversion of population.
Second, political symbols.
Regardless of the motivation, the scale of the new cities to be built will not be too large, and most of them will be far away from the main cities in the area.
But Ning Yuke did the opposite. Not only was the scale and area of the new city not small at all, but it was only a thousand miles away from Shuzhou City.
In this way, the two cities will undoubtedly compete for the population and resources in the same area, which is an extremely failed decision no matter how you look at it.
Of course, these are all evaluations based on common sense.
If everyone knows that this new city is for the Yaozu... then there will probably be a different expression on their faces.
"..."
"Worship the land, mountain god!"
"Break ground! Safe and auspicious!"
"Scatter the beans!"
"Stone!"
"Ring the bell!"
"..."
At Sishi, the ceremonial officials in green robes stood on a temporary high platform and began to preside over the ceremony of breaking the ground, while there were many craftsmen and coolies standing under their feet.
After all, it is a large-scale project, so this grand ceremony is relatively grand.
Si Tianjian specially calculated the good time, and some people went to the surrounding low mountains to pay homage to various mountain gods and land gods in advance.
Even Ning Yuke came to the scene under heavy guards, preparing to inscribe the name of Xincheng himself.
The eyebrows are like a distant mountain without being drawn and darkened, and the lips are painted with sand but not dotted.
Under the attention of everyone, she stood on the dragon platform in a gorgeous dress. The golden skirt moved with the wind, and the dragon's title and tassels hung down from her hair in golden steps. The brilliance of colorful embroidery is full of incomparable dignity and elegance.
Is Ning Yuke pretty?
Undoubtedly beautiful.
Is the Empress fresh?
Of course fresh.
Most of the tens of thousands of craftsmen on the scene were vulgar men. They had never seen such a beautiful woman, and they had never seen the emperor with their own eyes. Reasonably, they should be looking straight at this moment.
However, when "pretty woman" and "emperor" are combined, few people will have any dirty thoughts.
Many people even felt that they would offend Ning Yuke by taking a second glance, so they often lowered their heads quickly after just a glance, and kept admiring such a divine figure in their hearts.
