I am the master of this world

Chapter 218 "Poetry Collection"

"accomplice?"

Shen Ning had a strange expression on his face. Hearing what Xiao Zhan said, the Shen family was destroyed. It seems that the Xiao family was implicated, not the mastermind?

Could it be that he was trying to clear his name?
"When the Shen family was destroyed, what happened? It has been 18 years, and the younger generation is a little curious. I wonder if my lord can give me some advice?" Shen Ning couldn't help asking.

Xiao Rui who was on the side also asked curiously: "Yes, father, I was still young at the time, but I vaguely remembered that General Shen Lie was the pillar of the Jin Dynasty, how could he commit treason?"

Xiao Zhan sighed, and said: "If it wasn't for something wrong with the Yang family, and King Yu rebelled against him, I would definitely not say much about it. In the current situation, it doesn't matter if I tell you two."

"Eighteen years ago, although there were many foreign enemies at the borders of the Jin Dynasty, looking at the country, there was a sage prince supervising the country, General Shen who served the country and the people, and countless brave soldiers. At that time, the government and the public were full of confidence. No one thinks that Dajin will be in chaos, but it will prosper."

"But Mu Xiuyu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, and the Yang family supports King Yu, so if they want to make King Yu the prince, they will naturally abolish the current prince. Although the current prince is excellent, sometimes, the more outstanding, the easier it is to cause trouble. people's panic."

Following Xiao Zhan's introduction, Shen Ning learned more details about that year.

If the prince is too good, he will naturally make the emperor jealous, even if he is his own son.

And the Shen family fully supported the prince, so the Yang family colluded with King Yu Sima Jing and devised a drama, accusing the Shen family of colluding with foreign enemies, saying that Shen Lie deliberately created military affairs in order to control more military power, and then found At the right time, he led troops into the palace, overthrew Sima Zhou's rule, and established a new emperor.

In this drama, the Yang family and King Yu produced reliable evidence, which was the handwritten letters between Shen Lie and foreign tribes, and instigated the rebellion of Shen Zhan's close lieutenants.

The evidence was conclusive and there were many rumors, so Sima Zhou took action.

In order to drag other aristocratic families into the water, the Yang family launched an attack on the Shen family together. Yang Yanfeng lobbied the heads of the various families, threatening that the destruction of the Shen family was a foregone conclusion, and if the various aristocratic families dared to help the Shen family, they would be accomplices.Especially for the Xiao family, because Xiao Zhan and Shen Lie were close at that time, so they naturally wanted to help the Shen family.

However, the Yang family framed the Xiao family as an accomplice, and other families were also targeting the Xiao family. In order to protect themselves, the Xiao family unanimously chose to remain silent and did not help the Shen family.

Shen Ning fell into deep thought after hearing this.

He couldn't tell whether Xiao Zhan was telling the truth or a lie.

If the truth is true, then the abolition of the Shen family has nothing to do with the Xiao family.

What if it is a lie?

Shen Ning didn't ask anything.

After leaving Xiao's house, Shen Ning went to Yiyang Princess' Mansion.

Seeing Shen Ning, Sima Qing asked with a smile, "What's the matter? It seems that something is on her mind."

Shen Ning sighed: "Your Majesty has entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, and I will leave the capital soon. I will not be able to see my mother for a period of time, and I will feel ashamed that I will not be able to serve her."

"My mother is in good health, and I don't need you to take care of her. You are at the age of making contributions, so you should behave well. By the way, how did you think about my suggestion last time?" Sima Qing asked.

Shen Ning was taken aback for a moment, and then understood what Sima Qing was referring to, referring to the assassination of Xiao Zhan, Xiao Rui and other direct descendants of the Xiao family.

"Mother, there are only a few masters around the boy, and the Xiao family is heavily guarded. If you want to assassinate him rashly, if you fail to succeed, you may startle the snake. It's better to wait for a while, and wait for the boy to gain a firm foothold in Xuzhou and gain enough status and power. It's easy to destroy the Xiao family." Shen Ning suggested.

Sima Qing fell silent immediately, then gritted her teeth and sighed: "But I don't want to wait anymore, I've been waiting for 18 years."

Shen Ning comforted: "I understand mother's feelings. The Xiao family is different from the Yang family. The Yang family was abolished. Most of the reasons were attributed to the Yang family seeking death and us seizing the opportunity. The Xiao family is cautious, whether it is Xiao Zhan, Even the juniors below have nothing to do with it."

"I understand what you said." Sima Qing responded, seemingly convinced by Shen Ning, and did not continue to talk about this topic.

Seeing that she didn't want to communicate, Shen Ning didn't stay any longer, and left the princess mansion because she had something to do.

In the next few days, Shen Ning waited with peace of mind.

In the end, the meeting hall did not find a suitable excuse, and could not veto Sima Zhou's arrangement. Together with Xiao Zhan's assistance, Shen Ning was finally finalized as the official position of Xuzhou Governor.

Once the news was announced, it shocked the ruling and opposition parties.

The state shepherd at the age of weak crown is only a disciple of the Zhongpin family, how is this possible?

Everyone is asking about Shen Ning, a rising star in officialdom.

And then, the Xun family's bookstore launched another blockbuster.

"Poetry Fairy Collection" comes out!
In order to publish it in advance, Xun Zhiruo found hundreds of scholars to copy the "Collection of Immortals", and then took advantage of Shen Ning's promotion to sell it immediately.

Although there are only a few thousand poetry collections, which can't satisfy the market in Kyoto at all, like a small stone falling into the sea, the repercussions brought about by this "Collection of Immortal Poems" have set off turbulent waves.

Every poem is stunning.

Each poem contains a different mood.

The lines of each poem have been carefully considered.

One is fine, but what about ten or a hundred?

With only his weak age, he wrote about the stars in the sky, the years and the spring and autumn, the warmth and coldness of the world, and the story of his family, country, and world.

This is not Shixian, what is this?
Only poets can create such shocking works.

So is it strange that such a banished immortal can be the state shepherd?

It doesn't seem strange at all.

And Shen Ning was packing his bags, preparing to leave Beijing as soon as possible.

At this time, his system was constantly rewarding "famous points". There was no other way, "Collection of Immortals" was a big killer.

In addition to being promoted to the position of State Shepherd, the system rewarded him five times.

He was not in a hurry to start spinning the wheel, just wait for now.

Just now.

Huo Tianguang, the capital of Tianlongwei, came.

"Why is Huo Dutong here?" Shen Ning quickly invited him into the house.

Huo Tianguang said with a smile: "Congratulations to Mr. Shen on your promotion. I never expected that there would be a high-ranking official in the Tianlong Guard."

Shen Ning replied: "Huo Doutong, don't make fun of me, they are all working for the court. In terms of respect, the person His Majesty trusts the most is Huo Doutong. By the way, Huo Doutong, come here in person. Could it be that His Majesty has something to say? call?"

Huo Tianguang nodded, and said: "Your appointment order has been issued, and you will leave the capital in the near future. Before leaving Beijing, His Majesty has some important things to tell you, so he ordered me to summon you into the palace."

"Okay, then I will enter the palace now." Shen Ning nodded without doubt.

Huo Tianguang smiled and nodded, then led the way himself and accompanied Shen Ning into the palace.

After entering the palace, seeing that the direction Huo Tianguang was leading the way was not going to the imperial study room, the alchemy room, or the bedroom, he asked curiously, "Huo Dutong, where is your majesty summoning?"

Huo Tianguang said casually: "Your Majesty is in Qingchun Palace, so he ordered us to go there to consecrate."

Qingchun Palace?
As we all know, His Majesty has four favorite concubines, and living in Qingchun Palace is another favorite concubine, Xiao Mei.
