Monarch of Evernight: Don’t go to the 308 Love Inn
bsp;(“readerFs”).className=”rfs_”+rSetDef()[3]
Amid the commotion, someone from an elder family came up to him because he still had some friendship with Song Zining, and asked, “How is it possible? There is no news about King Qingyang until now?”
This elder is over seventy years old, almost twenty years older than Zhang Boqian, but he keeps saying that he is King Qingyang. I don’t know what Zhang Boqian will think when he hears it in person.
But that’s all Song Zining said. Not all members of the Presbyterian Church were present today. Song Zhongxing never showed up once, and there were many side vassals who had no seats. He was only doing his last personnel to spread the news. As for the How everyone in the clan responds is none of his business.
Song Zining said calmly: “I am no longer a member of the Song clan, so it is inconvenient for me to interfere in this matter.”
The elder was a quick-witted person. He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt blessed. He shouted: “So that’s it! When the Seventh Young Master becomes the head of the family, King Qingyang will not make trouble, just like when the ancestors were here!”
Most of the guests present were shocked. They have stayed in Wendao Manor to this day. It is possible that their family or power is closely related to the Song clan. Many people have an account in their hearts. They are not as slow as the elders of the Song clan, or they are deceiving themselves. The movements of King Qingyang are one of the things they are most concerned about. They have also heard some rumors and made some judgments.
Looking at the fact that the elders of the Song Dynasty are about to drive Song Zining away, for some guests, it is considered as letting go of something that may need to be dealt with seriously in the future, but they feel that the mood is subtle, why do they not even mention gloating about the misfortune? Gotta work hard.
At this time, most of the elders of the Song Dynasty were still whispering to each other anxiously, while the rest were silent, looking elsewhere, or pretending to be meditative, pretending not to hear these words.
Song Zining had already said what he said, and he didn’t care about the reactions of the elders. He said to Qianye: “I have nothing to do here. I’m going to find a place to drink. I won’t come back until I’m drunk today!”
“That’s all you have for drinking.” Qianye’s disdain was palpable.
“I am a master of wine and sex, what’s the difference!” Song Zining suddenly became furious.
“Think about that time in Huangquan…”
As soon as Qianye was about to reveal his scars, Song Zining quickly interrupted and reached out to grab Qianye, wanting to crush Qianye to death.
The two laughed and flew away, leaving a long trail of force behind them, each with its own unique scenery.
A thousand nights of scarlet gold shine, as bright as the morning sun. This is the morning light that has long been famous in the empire. But behind Song Zining, things are changing unpredictably, from the starry sky to the land masses, to the city streets, pedestrians, chickens and dogs go their own way, evolving on their own, lifelike.
Everyone had never seen such a scene before, and they felt confused and felt something. Finally, someone shouted out loud: “This is the prosperity of the world!”
Worldly Prosperity and Dawn Qiming are both one of the three top Dawn Forces. It is hard to judge how powerful they are, but they are even rarer. The conditions for cultivation are also extremely demanding, or there is no path that will lead to success.
No one thought that Song Zining would actually become prosperous in the world. His talent is actually better than everyone thought. From this point of view, he may be a King of Heaven.
The higher the level of the powerful secret methods, the more emphasis is placed on the mind. Due to Song Zining’s temperament, there have always been different opinions on the evaluation of his qualifications. However, now that the prosperity of the world is in front of him, no amount of flaws can prevent him from breaking through the divine general.
He has always been famous for his military strategy and his profound knowledge in the art of heaven. As long as he becomes a **** general and takes over the position of Duke of the country, it is natural for him to serve as the leader of a clan. Even if Song Zining hasn’t reached such a high level now, it wouldn’t be a problem to get to the position a few years ago. The attitude of King Qingyang can actually reflect the attitude of those big figures in the upper echelons of the empire who cherish talents.
It’s just that the first few years will be more difficult, but if Song Zining can maintain the upward momentum, by then, most of the high-ranking families who want to upgrade will weigh the pros and cons, and there is still a high possibility of seeking common prosperity. Not to replace it. After all, the position of the Imperial Valve is never fixed.
It is incredible that such a peerless talent was kicked out by the elders of the Song Dynasty. Many guests were already recalculating their alliances with various factions within the Song Clan. After all, it is never a good thing if an ally is too stupid. It’s not impossible to tolerate them for a while, then just take some more benefits and feel comfortable.
A very few guests thought of another thing. Could it be that the rumors that the Song clan wanted to downgrade itself to protect its core interests were not groundless? This is not very favorable to say. The empire has a history of thousands of years, and it is not uncommon for aristocratic families to be demoted. More often than not, they cut off their branches to protect their main branches.
However, is Song Zining considered a branch or a main branch?
In front of the study window, Song Zhongnian stood by the window, looking at the two trails of force that were getting farther and farther away. He took half a step forward, but then took it back.
The old housekeeper was a little impatient and said: “Master, if we don’t pursue you, it will be too late!”
Song Zhongnian was silent for a while until the two traces of the Force disappeared from the sky. Fang said: “Now that the Presbyterian Church has been hit hard and its reputation has been greatly damaged, the situation is no longer uncontrollable. I will plan carefully and I will be able to rectify the situation.”
The old housekeeper sighed secretly and couldn’t persuade him any more.
At this moment, an attendant rushed over and said in a panic: “Master, something bad has happened! Elder Lu Taishang suddenly left, so he left this letter to you. We can’t persuade him ! ”
Song Zhongnian’s expression changed drastically. He hurriedly took the letter and opened it. There were eight big words on it: If you don’t leave, it will be a mess. Other than that, there are no more words.
Song Zhongnian snorted, with anger hidden in his heart. This supreme elder doesn’t usually attend the elders’ meetings, so that’s fine. There was a mess in the Presbyterian Church these days, and he didn’t show up. Otherwise, with his support, Song Zhongnian would not be so crowded.
Now after Song Zining made a big fuss, Mr. Lu actually walked away. Coupled with the letter he left behind, it was clear that he was dissatisfied with Song Zhongnian.
Song Zhongnian said slowly: “Why are you panic? Don’t we, the Song Clan, still have a Supreme Elder? Mr. Lu ran away at such a critical moment, disregarding the safety of our Song Clan. What is there to save in such an act?” It’s a shame that all these years of service to me, the Song Dynasty, have been wasted!”
The people below dare not speak out. However, Mr. Lu was highly respected in the Song Dynasty, but he didn’t ask for much, and he didn’t want anything when he came this time. It’s equivalent to spending some money on food and clothing in the Song Dynasty for so many years. What kind of offerings are there?
Song Zhongnian calmed down and said: “Send people quickly to rescue the elders. We must treat the injuries of the elders well, do you understand?”
“Yes, Master!” The attendants and the old housekeeper took the order and left.
Song Zhongnian was finally at peace at this time, and continued to silently calculate the pros and cons of the situation.
At this time, an aerostat crossed the sky in the distance. When Song Zhongnian saw it, he was startled and recognized that it was the aerostat Song Zining was riding. The aerostat flew higher and higher, gradually disappearing into the sky.
Song Zhongnian sighed, but his legs still didn’t move. If you move the airship, you will save travel, and you may even leave Qinlu directly. Even if you want to pursue him, it is already too late.
On the floating boat, Song Zining and Qianye sat opposite each other. Qianye looked calm, but Song Zining was in a depressed mood. He turned the wine glass in his palm and refused to drink it.
“Do you still want to get the Valve Master back?”
Song Zining smiled bitterly: “What else is there to think about? Not to mention those elders, even grandpa doesn’t want me to sit in that seat. He didn’t come forward until the end. I’m just a junior who jumps into trouble and is of no use.”
“You elders of the Song Dynasty are really impressive.” Qianye thought for a while and said: “No wonder when our ancestors were still alive, they heard that there was an idea of passing the throne across generations.”
Song Zining also sighed and said: “Don’t you realize that my Song family is different from other aristocratic families? The elders are all from my grandfather’s generation. Except for people like Uncle Tu Jiu who come from the concubine seats, there are almost no young and middle-aged people. Even Song Zicheng is the first announced successor of the Song Dynasty, and he can only occasionally sit in on some minor matters? How easy is it to pass the throne?”
Qianye frowned and said: “The corpse is a vegetarian and loves power. Doesn’t anyone want to innovate?”
“All affairs of the Song Dynasty are decided by the Council of Elders, one person, one vote, regardless of superiority or inferiority. Even the head of the Song Dynasty only has the right to veto a few times a year. In the Council of Elders, the direct descendants account for 80% of the seats, and the concubines and vassals share the seats. Get 20%, this is the rule of our ancestors.”
This is indeed different from other family elders’ meetings, family heads’ decisions, and permanent institutions’ routine handling of affairs. The Song Dynasty elders’ meetings were held frequently and the matters discussed were trivial, which was really rare. Take the deployment of **** battles and the expansion of private armies as an example. Such family and national affairs are within the scope of public discussion in any family. It is inevitable for the party to oppose different parties and balance interests, but the family head has the final decision-making power. Otherwise, Zhao Jundu would never have thought of entering the Iron Curtain back then.
Qianye wondered: “Does this consensus mean that two Song clan elders are greater than one divine general?”
Song Zining was originally in a gloomy mood, but he couldn’t help laughing when he heard this, “Yes, everyone is equal in collegial voting.” He turned to sigh: “The fundamental reason is that I, the Song Dynasty’s direct bloodline, have direct heirs It’s difficult, just to maintain the inheritance status of the main family.”
Qianye was stunned and said nothing. Under this system, even if a genius is born in the collateral branch, when it comes to family discussions, the right to speak is still limited to that seat. In order to fill those positions, people with incompatible talents will be promoted. Once you get a taste of power, you may not be willing to let go even to your father, sons, and grandchildren.
“If the collateral branch has some ability, they will separate their families. Those who cannot get a seat in the direct family will also find their own way out. In other words, those who think that the seats are not enough will inevitably buy some private property outside. These are all In the name of the Song clan, the actual relationship is not satisfactory, but it looks like an alliance of interests.”
“So innovation and so on are just taking their money?”
Song Zining said in a low voice: “If we want to make a complete revolution, I’m afraid… we have to kill a lot of people.”
“The elders are so not afraid of death? It doesn’t look like them!”
“I’m used to it, I’m used to it, and there are always many people who are desperate for their own benefit.” Song Zining lowered his head and looked at his hands, and suddenly sneered, “I’m not afraid of getting the blood of my blood relatives, but some people are, and I’m extremely afraid. .”
“Then you will watch them dismantle the Song Dynasty?”
“I have already said that although there will definitely be people who take risks, there will also be people who will give me face. Without some people who are causing trouble and robberies outside, the family’s public property can always be preserved. His Highness King Qingyang After the incident, the Song family will no doubt fall into the ranks of aristocratic families. After this crisis, I hope that the next head of the Song family in Gaoling will learn from his shame and be brave enough to rectify his family style.”
“The next head of the family? Which one?” Qianye doesn’t think there are any outstanding talents in the previous generations of the Song clan who can bring the Song clan out of its predicament.
“There will always be people.” Song Zining spoke in a low voice, “Over the millennium of the empire, the rise and fall of families is as common as the rising and setting of the sun. Some branches have been uprooted, keeping the main trunk and sprouting new shoots, and some have cut off the main trunk and left branch branches. Bury deep in the soil and find gaps to revive.”
It seems that Song Zining is not optimistic about the future of the Song clan. Qianye felt heavy in his heart and asked, “What will you do next?”
Speaking of this, Song Zining stretched, relaxed, and said: “Of course, I will go to the neutral land and manage our territory well. After I have sorted out the hidden fire, I will build another With our own fleet, we can settle down in Yonglu and develop slowly.”
Yonglu is somewhat similar to Yongye, with its remote location, poor resources, extremely complex terrain, and constant natural disasters. For the Empire and Yongye, Yonglu was tasteless and a pity to abandon. Neither side was willing to invest heavy troops here, but they were also unwilling to give up.
As a result, the empire has half-covertly supported many small human nations here, and tribes who have been exiled or lost power often come here to seek a living space in Yongye.
In contrast, the environment in Yonglu is not as harsh as the neutral land. Ordinary people can barely survive, but their life span will be shortened.
Song Zining is planning to occupy a place on Yonglu and claim the throne immediately.
“Yonglu? Can’t we use a neutral ground? At least we still have Hokuriku.”
Song Zining shook his head, “The environment in the Neutral Land is too harsh, and the Hokuriku is actually not good for ordinary people’s survival. If we want to develop for a long time, a large population as the cornerstone is very important. And the most critical point is that there is blood in the Neutral Land The throne. And there is a superior **** in Yonglu who has come to an end.”
The King of Heaven naturally despises Yong Lu. As long as it does not affect the overall balance of the camp, no one will care about it even if it occupies half of it. However, if it develops too fast in a neutral land, it may attract interference from the Blood Throne at any time. Even Zhang Buzhou, who claims not to be afraid of the Blood Throne, does not have much real direct territory.
Qianye knew that Song Zining’s army was powerful, so he said: “Okay, I will listen to you.”
At this time, the airship has left Qinlu, ascended into the void, and flew towards a neutral ground.
“Stop for a moment at the edge of the East China Sea.” Qianye said suddenly.
“Why?”
“I… still want to see Ye Tong.”
Song Zining nodded, “I see, you should go see her. Let’s go to Nan Qingcheng first, drop me off, and then go see her.”
“Isn’t this a complete circle?” Qianye was a little strange.
Song Zining looked a little unnatural and said, “Well, it’s nothing. I have something urgent to do in Nan Qingcheng.”
This lie was so substandard that even Qianye could tell it was an excuse at a glance. Song Zining had no choice but to say: “She probably doesn’t want to see me, so I’d better not see her.”
“Why wouldn’t she want to see you?” Qianye was even more surprised. Back then, Ye Tong’s relationship with Song Zining was pretty good. Without his planning, it would not have been so easy for Ye Tong to leave Yong Ye for the first time.
Song Zining just said: “Later, I was very opposed to you continuing.”
Qianye was stunned for a moment before realizing, “How could she know this?”
Song Zining shook his head, “She has great powers now, so maybe she will know.”
Although Qianye was still a little confused, Song Zining just refused to see Ye Tong. However, it is not practical to go around Nanqing. The aerostat does not carry that much fuel at all, and there is no safe supply point nearby. Besides, Qianye had just obtained the name of the Lord of Tingchao City from Zhang Buzhou before leaving. Who knew if there would be any problems when landing in a strange city. In the end, they had to let the airship park farther away, and then Qianye went to see Ye Tong alone.
Seeing the East China Sea in sight, Song Zining seemed to remember and asked: “Why did you meet her this time?”
Qianye was silent for a moment and said, “I just want to see her.”
Song Zining nodded to express his understanding.
The aerostat arrived at the edge of the East China Sea, slowly descended, and stopped at the outer edge. Song Zining sent Qianye off the airship and said, “I’ll wait for you here. Come back soon.”
For some reason, Qianye always felt that Song Zining was a little weird, but he thought it was because he had just experienced a farce in the Song clan and his mood had not yet calmed down, so he didn’t ask any more questions.
Qianye turned around and just walked towards the edge of the landmass when a warning sign suddenly occurred in his heart, and he instinctively turned around and rushed towards Song Zining.
