Scourge the heavens

In these five days, God knows what happened to the musicians and dancers in the second son's mansion.

One by one is like a defeated rooster, and everyone seems to be preoccupied.

For the first time, these people in Prince Ning's Mansion knew that there was such a thing as square dancing.

Don't say it, it's quite exciting.

Five days later, King Ning's birthday came.

Wei Qiu and Wei Dong, led by the thin old man, came to the main entrance of the palace.

At the moment, there is a lot of traffic and guests in front of the palace gate.

Regardless of the local officials in Jiangxi or the gentry in the territory, they all racked their brains to give gifts. All kinds of precious paintings and calligraphy and crystal clear treasures were overwhelming, which made Wei Qiu secretly tongue-tied.

Wei Qiu was not empty-handed, he pretended to casually put his hand into his bosom, and took out a pearl from the system space.

This thing is in the treasures of the ancient tomb, in the box of jewelry left by Fan Xiaorong, Wei Qiu doesn't care whether this thing is worth money, anyway, its characteristics are extremely distinctive.

At first glance, this pearl is particularly large.

Wei Qiu had never seen pearls the size of billiard balls before.

Such a large pearl immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Handing the pearl to the accountant of the palace, Wei Qiu walked inside without looking back, accompanied by the thin old man carefully.

On the square in front of the palace, a large number of banquets were arranged on both sides.

On the horizontal table in the middle, a golden birthday peach is particularly eye-catching.

Next to Shoutao was a middle-aged man in his forties. This man had regular features and a dignified appearance, and his speech and behavior revealed a very natural majesty.

Beside the middle-aged man, Zhu Gongjiang was carefully standing aside.

If Wei Qiu guessed correctly, this man should be King Ning Zhu Chenhao.

Zhu Gongjiang seemed to have seen Wei Qiu, and immediately leaned over to whisper a few words beside King Ning, and immediately attracted the attention of King Ning and his party.

"I've heard of Mr. Wei's name for a long time, and I'm so lucky to meet you today." Zhu Chenhao had obviously heard of Wei Qiu, and walked up to Wei Qiu with great enthusiasm, his eyes were full of light.

"Wei Qiu, I have met King Ning." Wei Qiu was still neither humble nor overbearing, and politely returned the salute.

"Come here, Mr. Wei, please take a seat!" King Ning was not angry because of Wei Qiu's indifference, but he led Wei Qiu enthusiastically to the middle table and sat down.

The place where Wei Qiu is currently seated is right below Shoutao. If Wei Qiu is not mistaken, King Ning himself should be sitting at this table.

There are many guests here, but there are probably very few who can sit here.

Wei Qiu didn't expect King Ning's reaction either.

As a reckless man in the world, he was so valued by King Ning, which made him look at King Ning unexpectedly.

At noon, the banquet began.

The banquet in the entire square was densely packed with guests, and no one moved their chopsticks without authorization. They all sat quietly at the table, waiting for King Ning's speech.

Only at King Ning's table, Wei Dong next to Wei Qiu didn't have any scruples, holding a roast chicken in his hand and eating it with greasiness in his mouth.

Wei Dong's eating looks like a prisoner who has just been released from the dungeon. He eats so recklessly that many people are dumbfounded.

However, as the master, King Ning didn't say anything, and these people naturally didn't dare to step in and do it for them, they were just secretly guessing Wei Dong's true identity one by one.

Wei Qiu naturally saw Wei Dong's appearance.

But he still sat calmly in front of the table, without the slightest intention to stop him.

Beside King Ning, a middle-aged man in robes gave Wei Dong a disgusted look, as if he thought Wei Dong was an eyesore.

What people didn't expect was that King Ning didn't seem to see Wei Dong at all, he just stood up calmly, picked up his wine glass and walked to the center of the aisle.

Under the gaze of everyone, King Ning slammed the cup in his hand and shouted loudly, "Come on!"

Following an order, nearly a thousand soldiers wearing armor and spears filed out from the palace, and before everyone had time to react, they surrounded all the guests in an instant.

Whether it is local officials or merchants and gentry, they are all in a panic at the moment.

The man in the robe suddenly stood up and shouted at everyone, "Calm down! King Ning has something to say!"

"Everyone, this king wants to announce the Queen Mother's order." Looking at the black-clothed soldiers around him, King Ning's tone became much rougher, and there was madness in his eyes.

"Sir Liu Yangzheng, accept the order!" Before everyone could understand what was going on, the man in the long robe suddenly knelt down.

Liu Yangzheng's kneeling seemed to be just the beginning. Some actors on other tables in the square seemed to have received some orders, and rushed to the side and knelt down abruptly.

"Minister/Craftsman, accept the order!" A large group of people knelt down in the square.

The uniform movements seemed to have been rehearsed beforehand.

This sudden scene stunned all the guests in the square, and they didn't understand how it turned into reading the Queen Mother's order.

If so, then accept the order.

Whether it was the local civil and military officials, or the gentry and merchants, almost all the rest knelt down together, and everyone knelt down in a daze.

"Empress Dowager Yizhi, when the first emperor was in power, he listened to the sycophant's words and adopted Zhu Houzhao, who is not of the Zhu family's blood."

"But following the sudden death of the first emperor, this adopted son actually sat on the Ninth Five-Yearth position. His origin was not right, his blood was not pure, and all the kings of the world wanted him."

According to the compiled words, King Ning began to slander the emperor's bloodline issue, and Chi Guoguo's ambition could no longer be hidden.

"King Ning, you are talking about the Queen Mother's decree, how dare you ask where the decree is?" an official suddenly asked under the square.

"Bold! Who are you, dare to question King Ning's words?" Seeing someone questioning, Liu Yangzheng slammed the table to his feet and asked sternly.

"Hmph, King Ning blatantly framed the emperor without a decree. This is a serious crime of treason and treason. How can I go along with it?" The official was also a straightforward loyal minister, and he stood up angrily and cursed.

"If you commit the crime below, you will be punished for the crime! Come here, and immediately behead him to show the public!" At this point, King Ning also wanted to see it with a dagger, and there was no room for retreat. In a fit of anger, he planned to kill people to gain power.

"King Ning, are you courageous?" During the banquet, the Patriarch of the Cao family, one of the eight martial arts masters, stood up.

"Cao Yu, do you really want to fight against me?" King Ning secretly glanced at Wei Qiu before he dared to ask.

"Prince Ning, in normal times, I would not dare to oppose you."

"But what you are doing now is the serious crime of treason and treason. Am I still afraid of you, a rebellious minister?"

Cao Yun stood up with a calm face, raised his hand and knocked out the surrounding soldiers, grabbed a broken spear, and rushed towards King Ning.

Cao Yun's movements were so fast that the people at the scene had no time to react.

Just when the spear was about to approach King Ning, Wei Qiu, who was sitting upright, swung his right hand casually.

A sky-blue sword aura flew out suddenly, across the entire square. Cao Yun, who was originally as fast as a gale, was cut in half by the sword aura.

There was a sudden silence in the square.
