I am the master of this world

Chapter 180 Layout Xuzhou, ready to go to the imperial capital
After Jia Xu left, Shen Ning's life fell into peace again.

He is not in a hurry to go back to Chengyang County. Zhang Liao, Shen Zhaoyuan, and Li Xiaojie will guard it well. Even if Qi Wang Sima Jiong wants to send troops to take back Chengyang County, he will not be able to mobilize enough troops for a while. After all, Li Yuanxiao of Dongguan County asked him to Like a stick in the throat.

And Sima Yue didn't make Shen Ning wait too long, he survived this cold winter, but his body was even weaker, now that he had the Taoist golden elixir, he had already verified the authenticity of the elixir, so naturally he had to take it immediately.

If it works miraculously, it will drive away disease and restore vitality.

So Sima Yue took the Taoist Golden Elixir.

As for whether the Taoist golden elixir is effective or not, others don't know, so how could Shen Ning not know?
Since ancient times, there has been no golden elixir for resurrecting the dead, just a gimmick, and Sima Yue, who took the Taoist golden elixir, did not have the medicine to cure his illness in his dream.

Correspondingly, another poison touched the poison hidden in the Taoist golden elixir, and immediately produced a highly toxic reaction.

An hour after Sima Yue took the golden pill, his seven orifices bled and he couldn't breathe.

After a while, the Southeast Palace looked like it was facing a formidable enemy.

Sima Haiyun rushed to the bedroom and burst into tears when he saw his father's miserable condition.Then came the princess, who was also furious and fainted.

After crying for a long time, Sima Haiyun was at a loss, and immediately sent someone to find Shen Ning. After Shen Ning arrived at the palace, he found out that Sima Yue had died.

Shen Ning looked sad and comforted Sima Haiyun: "Your Majesty, the prince has passed away. You must hold on. The palace will need you to be in charge next. The top priority is to find out the cause of the prince's death. How could something happen?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Sima Haiyun immediately called the doctor to inquire, and only after asking did he find out that the prince died of severe poison.

Sima Haiyun was furious and immediately captured all the personal servants serving Sima Yue, and then tortured them to extract confessions. Naturally, the interrogation was fruitless.

The angry Sima Haiyun directly ordered that all these servants be pulled out and executed.

Afterwards, the heartbroken Sima Haiyun had no intention of dealing with the affairs of the palace. Now the only person he trusts the most is Shen Ning, so he directly appointed Shen Ning as the chief history of the palace, responsible for all matters, which is equivalent to Jiang Xiao's position.

Shen Ning immediately started to do things. First of all, he reported the news of Sima Yue's death to the imperial court. At the same time, he set up a sacrificial hall and summoned the county guards in Xuzhou to return to Pengcheng, including the main generals who were away.

The next step is to wait for the imperial edict to allow Sima Haiyun to inherit the title of prince and become the new southeast king.Then it is to choose a date and bury Sima Yue.

At the same time, the entire territory of Xuzhou has entered a period of great mourning, and fish and music are prohibited.

In the alchemy room, Sima Zhou had just taken the elixir and was about to meditate.

Xu Chongzhi came to report in a hurry: "Your Majesty, Pengcheng hastened to report that the King of Southeast is dead."

"Really? Sima Yue is dead?" Sima Zhou was startled, then overjoyed.

Xu Chong said straightly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is absolutely true."

Sima Zhou smiled even more: "Sima Liang just died suddenly, and Sima Yue also died. After a year, two princes and kings died. God helped me. After Sima Liang died, his sons had completely broken up in order to fight for power. It's nothing to worry about. After Sima Yue's death, his fat son has no talent or virtue, so he can't defend Xuzhou at all. By the way, where is Shen Ning?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Shen Ning is now fully in charge of Xuzhou affairs, and according to Huo Tianxing's letter, Shen Ning has [-] troops under his command." Xu Chong said straightforwardly.

Sima Zhou nodded and said with a smile: "Well done. The task I gave him was completed beautifully, and it only took such a short time. Write him a reply and ask him to do it well. I will not treat him badly."

Xu Chong replied directly: "Your Majesty, after Sima Haiyun inherits the title of Southeast King, he must rely on Shen Ning. Next, Shen Ning only needs to unite with Li Yuanxiao to control the troops and horses in Xuzhou, and then the entire Xuzhou will completely return to the imperial court. In hand."

Sima Zhou laughed loudly and said, "That's right! On the surface, Xuzhou is still the fiefdom of the Southeast King, but if soldiers and horses fall into my hands, I will hold Xuzhou's life and death."

Xu Chong nodded straight, and said: "Lieutenant Shen has indeed made a lot of contributions. Congratulations to Your Majesty for being such a loyal general."

Although Shen Ning left the imperial capital, he left a lot of backup in the imperial capital, and Zhao Qingxuan was his, so he naturally understood the importance of Xu Chongzhi.

During the time he was not in the imperial capital, he had ordered someone to give Xu Chong tens of thousands of taels of silver and land deeds. Xu Chong always said that he was soft, so he would naturally speak up for Shen Ning.

"Find a reason, and reward him heavily!" Sima Zhou agreed.

Xu Chongzhi said again: "Your Majesty, what about Sima Haiyun's succession to the king?"

"Immediately draw up an order and send it to Pengcheng!" Sima Zhou ordered.

As expected by Shen Ning, the imperial edict was sent back quickly.

The governors and leading generals of all the counties also rushed back to Pengcheng, so in front of everyone, the internal officials read out the imperial decree, and the eldest son Sima Haiyun inherited the title of Southeast King and officially became the new Southeast King.

Next, a date was selected, and after 20 days, Sima Yue was to be buried.

Sima Yue's royal tomb has been built long ago, so he only needs to be buried.

On the eve of Qingming, the funeral begins.

The mighty funeral procession sent Sima Yue's coffin into the royal mausoleum, and the stone door of the tomb was sealed. After all the ceremonies were over, Sima Yue was completely a thing of the past.

After Sima Haiyun became a prince, he wanted to ask about political affairs at first, but after a few days of asking, he became distracted and had no interest.

Although Shen Ning was a long history, he asked Sima Haiyun for instructions on everything big and small. Sima Haiyun told Shen Ning more than once: You are my sworn brother, and your orders are my orders.

But Shen Ning didn't dare to overstep, and still asked Sima Haiyun for instructions on everything, but Sima Haiyun also went in his left ear and out of his right ear, directly asked Shen Ning's opinion, and then directly followed suit.

In this way, the time has come to March in Yangchun.

Since Shen Ning served as the head of the palace, he took the initiative to ask to be removed from the position of master, which was also his low-key method.

Sima Haiyun disagreed at first, but Shen Ning was firm, saying that since he is the chief of the palace, if he fights back with heavy troops, he may be criticized.

In this way, Zhang Liao became the master of the army, and Chang Yuchun was promoted to the master of the army.

It seems that Shen Ning has no military power, but Zhang Liao, Chang Yuchun, Li Xiaojie, and Shen Zhaoyuan are all his people. This is how to make a fortune silently.

And with the adjustment of Shen Ning's official position, the points rewarded by the system are enough for a new wheel.

The content of this wheel is very rich:

"Zhuge Liang!"

"Zhu Yuanzhang!"

"Papermaking!"

"Printography!"

"Cheng Yaojin!"

"Red Barbarian Cannon!"

"telescope!"

This time the wheel selected "printing", Shen Ning was a little disappointed, so he sent the printing to the imperial capital and handed it over to Xun Zhiruo.

Now Xun Zhiruo has become Shen Ning's housekeeper, helping him make money.

In the past half year, Shen Ning consumed a lot of silver. If it weren't for Xun Zhiruo's support, she would have been unable to make ends meet.

And as Shen Ning became the chief history of the palace, next, he started the real layout.

First, he quietly replaced the palace guards with his own confidants, completely controlling the palace in his own hands, and then replaced the captains guarding the Pengcheng gate.

In this way, the entire Pengcheng is under Shen Ning's control.

And next, it is natural to control the city defense camp outside the city.

However, Chu Haoran was loyal to the Southeast Palace, it was basically impossible for Shen Ning to win him over, and he couldn't even show any intention to win him over.

If you can't win over him, then kill him.

Shen Ning's master, Zhu Wanshan, had cured his throat. He and Zhu Wanshui both came to Pengcheng. The master master personally went to assassinate a master master.

And with Chu Haoran's death, the city guard camp cannot live without a leader, after all, a snake can't do without a head.Shen Ning then recommended a person, Li Yuanxiao's deputy, named He Liang.

He Liang is also a general, and he is well-known in Xuzhou, so it is no problem for him to be in charge of the city guard camp.

As far as Shen Ning is concerned, this person is Li Yuanxiao's confidant and Shen Ning's confidant.

Sima Haiyun didn't have any other good candidates, so he naturally agreed.

In this way, He Liang was transferred to the city protection camp and became the master.

So far, among the five masters in Xuzhou, He Liang and Zhang Liao are both from Shen Ning.

Li Yuanxiao, the general in charge of the army, even supported Shen Ning.

And Shen Ning himself took control of the Southeast Palace.

Now even if someone tells Sima Haiyun that Shen Ning is ambitious, it will have no impact on Shen Ning, because even if Sima Haiyun finds out the truth, he can't do anything to Shen Ning.

What's more, Sima Haiyun is lazy, and he still believes in Shen Ning until now. After all, Shen Ning hides very deeply. He is only a long history now, and he has no military strength in his hands.

It was now mid-April, and Shen Ning already had the ability to protect herself.But that's all.

To become one of the most powerful vassals, it is absolutely impossible for Shen Ning to only do long history.

Now that Xuzhou has stabilized, he is going to go to the imperial capital to raise his official position further.The sixth-rank Xiao cavalry captain is too low, and his reputation is not enough.

Shen Ning went directly to Sima Haiyun and explained his intention.

"You want to go to the imperial capital? Why? Everything has just been sorted out, why do you want to go to the imperial capital?" Sima Haiyun asked in surprise.

Shen Ning began to talk about his ideals: "My lord, now that Xuzhou has stabilized, and Li Ru is by his side to give advice, even if I leave Xuzhou, my lord will not have any worries. I want to go to the imperial capital. I am only a sixth-rank Xiaoqi Lieutenant now. , Beizhi wants to go one step further and make the Shen family a top-ranking family. This is my father's dream, and it is also Beizhi's dream."

Dreaming about this kind of thing is sometimes the best excuse.

Sima Haiyun also understood that even if he reused Shen Ning, he would always be a long history, and even if he went out to lead the army and achieved Li Yuanxiao's position, it would be over.

Although the imperial court has decayed, the final products are still in the hands of the imperial court.

"You've just helped me get everything in order, so I don't want you to go!" Sima Haiyun sighed.

Shen Ning smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this is my home. I will no longer be able to survive in the imperial capital with a humble position, and I have to come back."

Sima Haiyun nodded and said, "If you insist on this, then fine."

Shen Ning bowed his hands.

It is the only way for him to earn an official position in the imperial capital this time.

She is only a sixth-rank Xiao cavalry captain now. If she is a third-rank state shepherd, she is also in Xuzhou, and the concept is completely different.

He left Li Ru in Pengcheng, and Sima Haiyun trusted him so much that Shen Ning left with peace of mind.
