There is only one person who can represent the decision-making of the Bian family, and that is his brother Bian Xiao.

After looking at Ning Zheng for a long time, Concubine Bian said, "Zheng'er, you are not only a good child, but also make me admire you. You are very responsible and have good morals, which makes me very happy."

Ning Zheng bowed his head and said nothing.

Concubine Bian said: "But as you said, since you have decided to fight for the throne, I can't express my position. But..."

She paused for a moment.

"But, I like you kid even more."

Ning Zheng bowed and said, "Thank you, Mother Bian."

Concubine Bian said, "Okay, you go."

………………………………………

The king was also a little shocked when he heard Concubine Bian's retelling.

Ning Zheng actually refused, and he acted so responsible?

Of course, those who are the king must be greedy.

But you must also learn to reject temptation.

Because temptation of interests is likely to mean a trap.

"Did Shen Lang teach him to say this?" Ning Yuanxian said.

Concubine Bian said: "Impossible!"

The king quickly realized that it was impossible.

When Shen Lang and Ning Zheng met that night, three people were monitoring and recording.

Since then, Shen Lang has never met Ning Zheng again, so where can he have the opportunity to teach him?

Concubine Bian said softly: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and I will never participate in the fight for the throne. But if anyone bullies Zheng'er, I will not agree."

…………

After Ning Zheng left the palace, he returned to the prison of Zongzheng Temple again.

But the next day, the king summoned him.

This is probably the first time the monarch has officially summoned him.

Ning Yuanxian said: "Ning Zheng, what do you think about killing several officials of Dali Temple?"

Ning Zhengdao: "The prince violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people."

As soon as these words were spoken, Ning Yuanxian frowned.

He dislikes such righteous words the most, who can't speak empty words?

Suddenly, Ning Yuanxian sneered: "Since that's the case, should I behead you?"

Ning Zheng said: "But killing the officials of Dali Temple is to save people."

The king said, "How do you say it?"

Ning Zheng said: "At that time, the officials of Dali Temple went to steal two little girls from the Yu family. Shen Lang's concubine Bing'er was unwilling to stop the two girls behind him. The officials of Dali Temple actually intended to attack the child in her belly. In order to protect herself and to protect the fetus, even killing people is just a legitimate one. At most, it is just too much defense."

The king said, "Did you kill that person or Shen Lang's concubine?"

Ning Zheng hesitated for a while and said, "I killed him."

Ning Yuanxian looked at this son for a long time, then nodded and said, "I understand, someone came to take Ning Zheng back to Zongzheng Temple Prison. He issued an order to join hands with the case to hear the case."

…………………

The next day, Dali Temple and Zongzheng Temple officially tried the murder case of the Five Prince Ning Zheng.

After three hours of trial, the truth was revealed.

Officials in Dali Temple revenge and intend to murder the child in Shen Lang's concubine's belly. Although Ning Zheng killed someone in order to save someone, his methods were too fierce and he was sentenced to thirty whipping!

Then, the fifth prince Ning Zheng was publicly executed and beaten with thirty whips.

The skin was so broken that it was so bloody that it was blown away. When I carried it home, I fainted!

…………

Three days later!

The king issued an order to enthrone Ningzheng as the Marquis of Changping, allow the establishment of a yamen and the establishment of a government office, and allow the recruitment of a thousand private troops.

He also enthroned the former Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion in the capital to Ning Zheng.

After receiving this order, Ning Zheng burst into tears.

It's really not easy. It's three years since he became an adult, and other brothers have been granted the title of Duke and Marquis, and now it's his turn.

Although his title is one level lower than other brothers.

But he was satisfied.

Of course, this will did not cause much shock.

Because everyone thought that this was the reward from the monarch for Ning Zheng's blood transfusion to Concubine Bian, he was still the son who was the least favored and even hated by the monarch.

Moreover, the king gave the Marquis of Zhenyuan to Ning Zheng, but most of the mansion had been burned down.

Without choosing a good day, Ning Zheng moved directly into the new Marquis' Mansion of Changping the next day.

Although most of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion was burned down, the remaining half was still very large, with a total of more than 300 acres, which was many times larger than the original Ning Zheng's mansion.

When moving, only the family came to congratulate Zhang Chong's son Zhang Xun.

Concubine Bian sent someone to send a large number of gifts and furniture.

Ning Zheng's family, plus Shen Lang's family, moved here, only a few more than 100 people.

It looks extremely empty!

Shen Lang officially resigned from the position of Zhenyuan City Lord to the monarch and became the chief minister of the Marquis of Changping.

Some people were finally a little surprised.

What does this mean?

Is Shen Lang completely tied to Ning Zheng?

At this point, Shen Lang's first step in supporting the Five Prince Ning Zheng's plan, and the establishment of the yamen and the establishment of the government was completed.

…………

However, at this time, the Marquis' Mansion in Changping was an empty shell.

It is necessary to build a civil servant structure, and also a military general structure. The most important thing is to recruit a thousand private troops.

To put it bluntly, Ning Zheng’s marquis’s mansion needs to recruit three chief clerks, one thousand households and ten hundred households.

Generally speaking, this is equipped by the monarch.

However, the king did not give Ning Yuanxian a soldier, nor did he give any official.

Everything needs to be recruited by Ning Zheng and Shen Lang.

So, Shen Lang went to Wuxue and Imperial College to recruit.

Nothing was found.

Then, he recruited on Xuanwu Avenue.

Still nothing was found.

For three days, no one was willing to join the Marquis of Changping in Ningzheng.

Someone is doing something like burning a cold stove.

But Ning Zheng is not just a cold stove, it is simply an ice hole.

Not to mention charcoal, even tincture oil cannot be burned here.

Anyone who jumps into this pit will have no future.

You, Shen Lang, are the son-in-law of the Xuanwu Marquis Mansion, and you are no longer short of wealth and glory, but we can't do it.

Talented people have long gone to surrender to the prince or the third prince.

Come to your fifth prince’s mansion, will you die on the bench?

A full eight days.

Shen Lang still failed to recruit half of the figure.

Because he has requirements.

The three chief clerks recruited by the Fifth Prince Marquis’ Mansion need the Juren or the equivalent of the Juren’s fame, such as the Imperial College Student.

The thousands of households recruited must have the reputation of martial arts and Jinshi, and ten hundred households also need the reputation of martial arts and Juren.

Are people with fame and fortune willing to come?
