Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

"Prince Rong, please accept the order."

Rong Jing looked coldly at the eunuch who delivered the imperial eunuch's orders. He used to be the lowest eunuch who raised dogs, but now that he was favored by the emperor, he became very arrogant. He asked for bribes as soon as he came, but Rong Jing was too lazy to pay any attention to him.

"I'm sorry I can't accept your order. Please take it back."

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict had a gloomy face. He had come from afar, exhausted, but had not gained any benefit at all. He was unhappy in the first place, and when he heard this, he frowned and shouted loudly.

"Prince Rong, are you going to disobey my order?"

Rong Jing's gaze fell on the imperial guards behind him who were responsible for protecting the eunuchs. "I already have a fiancée, and I can't marry someone else."

The eunuch delivering the imperial edict was arrogant and said, "The emperor's order is the most important. The emperor's words cannot be changed. You cancel the previous engagement."

This is an imperative tone.

"This princess is kind, gentle and considerate. She is your perfect match."

Rong Jing's expression remained unchanged. "One must keep one's word. Breaking off the engagement is impossible."

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict was furious. "Do you know the consequences of disobeying the imperial edict? Do you want to watch the eldest princess's tomb being dug up, moved out of the imperial mausoleum, and left to lie exposed in the wilderness?"

The atmosphere at the scene changed and everyone was dumbfounded. Is he crazy?

Rong Jing's anger suddenly surged up, but he didn't show it on his face. "Who said that? The Prime Minister? The new emperor?"

His mother is his weak spot and also his Achilles' heel. He will never allow anyone to treat her like this, even if it's just insulting words.

The eunuch delivering the imperial edict said righteously, "I am the emperor's servant in life and his ghost in death."

"Then go to hell." A hint of murderous intent flashed in Rong Jing's eyes.

The eunuch delivering the imperial edict had no idea that his death was imminent. "Prince Rong Jing, what are you doing? I will definitely complain to the emperor when I return. Just wait and see."

He looked like he was begging me or bribing me.

Rong Jing waved his hand, and a dart flew over, hitting the eunuch who was delivering the imperial edict in the chest. The eunuch felt a sharp pain in his chest, and opened his eyes wide in disbelief. Then, his body fell heavily to the ground.

He really wants to rebel.

The sudden sniper attack made the imperial guards change their faces and they all drew their swords and pointed them at Rong Jing.

"Sir Rong, you actually dared to kill the imperial envoy in public. This is a heinous crime that will kill all of your clan. Just surrender."

Rong Jing looked calm and unhurried, "Nine clans? The new king is also one of my nine clans."

Strictly speaking, the new emperor is his cousin. His mother is the new emperor's aunt, so they are closely related by blood.

The imperial guards were shocked and frightened, but they did not dare to act rashly. This was Rong Jing's territory, and everyone inside and outside was his people.

He ran Mingzhou like an iron barrel, with not a single leak.

An imperial guard stepped forward to check the eunuch's breath and found that he was dead. He was shocked and said, "Master Rong, you are confused."

Rong Jing didn't even blink, "Confused? The emperor is confused, right? I heard that the emperor has many concubines and has given official titles and honors to the concubines' families according to his own preferences. The court is in chaos. Is this true?"

Rong Jing actually knew the new emperor's little thoughts. After the new emperor came to the throne, the government was controlled by the assistant ministers, and he had no say, so he simply sold himself and selected a group of concubines with good backgrounds, and let the concubines' families help him fight for power.

Unfortunately, the new emperor had limited abilities, messed up, and the situation got out of control.

The late emperor was a conservative ruler, but he was rather incompetent in his later years. However, none of his children were able to accomplish anything.

The imperial guards looked miserable, not knowing what had mad the emperor for not only bestowing titles on the queen's family but also conferring official titles on the concubine's family. This aroused the dissatisfaction of the court officials, who all knelt outside the palace gate and begged the emperor to revoke his decision.

The concubines' families were unhappy and rushed over to fight, causing chaos.

The situation in the capital was becoming more and more chaotic, with two kings causing rebellion outside. The world was not at peace, they were walking on thin ice and their days were really hard.

Rong Jing saw it and said calmly, "Don't worry, you haven't offended me. I will let you go back to the capital. Tell the emperor on my behalf to stay close to wise ministers and stay away from villains. Be a good emperor and don't bring shame to our ancestors."

The imperial guards smiled bitterly in their hearts. He said it easily. No one could handle the mess in the capital city as everyone was vying for power.

"Lord Rong, why do you have to make enemies with the palace? The royal family is in turmoil and in danger. You are the son of the eldest princess and a descendant of the royal family. You should share the worries of the royal family."

Lord Rong is a capable man, but unfortunately, he is not favored by the royal family and was driven out of the capital.

He spoke with righteousness, Rong Jing looked at him deeply, "Why doesn't the new emperor marry the princess?"

The imperial guards were stunned. "Huh? The princess has a flaw in her appearance and is not suitable to marry into the palace."

Rong Jing sneered, his smile not reaching his eyes, "Haha, the new emperor throws the women he doesn't like to me, am I a junk collector?"

The imperial guard slapped his head. The man couldn't speak, and the more he tried to persuade him, the worse it got.

"That's not what I meant. It's... the princess took the initiative to ask to marry you. You two have a history, so the emperor arranged for you to be together."

Rong Jing is really annoyed by those people in the capital. The two kings are eyeing him covetously and they are still fighting among themselves.

"The emperor believes everything others say? Then, if others want his world, should he offer it to them with both hands?"

"Lord Rong." All the imperial guards turned pale with fear.

Rong Jing waved his hand impatiently, "Show me away."

The imperial guards walked out of the city gate, looked back, and let out a long sigh. They didn't expect that they could still escape.

"Boss, what shall we say later?"

The head had mixed feelings. "Tell me the truth, what else can I say?"

The subordinate looked at the clean city wall reluctantly, "I like Mingzhou very much. The people live and work in peace and contentment. There is light in their eyes and smiles on their faces. Everywhere is full of vitality. Lord Rong's ability to govern is unquestionable. I want to move my family here."

Everyone was shocked, "Are you serious?"

The subordinate shook his head slightly and said in a low voice, "The capital will be lost sooner or later, alas."

In the study, Rong Jing let out a long sigh. The imperial court had become wary of Mingzhou and deliberately sent a princess to marry into the imperial court.

He took out a piece of white paper, thought for a while, and then put the brush on the paper.

Well, tell his fiancée that they all bully him!

When Ning Zhiwei received the letter, the corners of his mouth twitched. Who could bully him? He was more cunning than a sieve. Mingzhou was governed by him and he had the final say. The Lu family was completely history.

However, the peace talks between the Jin Dynasty and the imperial court ended with this result? Did they ask for her opinion?

Whether to fight or not is not up to the court, but she.

At this moment, the guard came over and reported, "My lord, someone wants to see you. He said it's an old friend who wants to see you."

Ning Zhiwei raised an eyebrow, "Old friend? Let him in."

A tall figure appeared at the door. The young man was tall and slender, with brown eyes that seemed to be wrapped in a layer of frost, and he looked intimidating without even being angry.

Ning Zhiwei stood up suddenly, "It's you!"
