Chapter 879 Queen
The discussion in Bianjing City surrounding Su Ning and the Ningyuan Army was abuzz, but Su Ning had no desire to care at this moment. He soon discovered that his fishing plan had failed. The Western Xia Yipintang was still frightened by the Ningyuan Army and retreated. He then looked at the Jinyiwei commander Su Yi and asked, "Su Yi, is there still no movement from the Western Xia side?"

"Yes! Master, maybe Xixia is scared." Su Yi immediately looked at Suning and said speculatively.

"Hmph! Notice them! Launch the attack tomorrow morning. Since Xixia Yipintang won't come, we'll go to Xixia and meet them."

"Yes! Master."

"Wuyazi, I'm really sorry for making you run this trip in vain." Then Suning looked at his top personal bodyguard beside him, and explained with a smile on his face.

"Your Highness, you are too kind. The Ningyuan Army has had a huge impact on me recently. It seems that I have to focus on martial arts in the future." The young version of Wuyazi shook his head with a wry smile on his face. He felt that the Ningyuan Army had brought too much shock to him. If he could not break through the shackles of martial arts, he would always be just an ant.

"Well, Wuyazi, I intend to have you and Murong Longcheng and others go to Xixia and wipe out the Xixia Yipintang."

"it is good."

"After we capture Shangjing City tomorrow, you can use the treasures in the Khitan Palace as you like, and then you can set off for Yipintang in Xixia." Seeing Wuyazi agreed lightly, Suning looked at the many martial arts masters with a smile on his face and promised.

"Thank you, Your Highness." These martial arts masters who were good at flying and hiding in the ground could not help but feel pleasantly surprised.

In fact, these martial arts masters who are so powerful are also mortals who cannot escape from the world and greed. They still have various desires. For example, Murong Longcheng and Murong Bo, father and son, are obsessed with how to restore the Great Yan Kingdom, but they choose to forget that the so-called Great Yan Kingdom has been destroyed for hundreds of years.

You should know that the Liao Dynasty was founded by Yelü Abaoji in 916, and it has a history of years. It has experienced eight emperors of the Khitan in the Liao Dynasty. In addition, the Liao Dynasty extorted a large amount of annual tribute from the Song Dynasty. Therefore, the wealth accumulated by the Khitan royal family is still terrifying. Otherwise, the China that the West once thought was the Liao Dynasty.

In fact, the issue of annual tribute is still very strange. The civil officials and righteous men of the Song Dynasty tried their best to negotiate with the Khitan, and as a result, they had to pay tribute to the Khitan every year. In the end, they shamelessly boasted about the achievements of this group of literati. Therefore, the Song Dynasty was an era that did not know what shame was. It did not have even a little bit of the blood and ambition that a country should have. From beginning to end, it was just thinking about surviving in a corner.

At dawn the next morning, the Ningyuan army outside the city of Shangjing Linhuang Prefecture woke up one after another. All the heavy artillery and tanks used by the Ningyuan army were deployed together. After thinking about the shameless and disgusting behavior of the weak Song Dynasty all night, the furious Suning was ready to use saturation firepower to flatten the entire Shangjing Linhuang Prefecture.

"Wuyazi, Murong Longcheng, today I will let you see what heavenly punishment is. I will turn the entire Shangjing Linhuang Prefecture into ruins." Su Ning said with a smile on his face as he looked at Wuyazi and Murong Longcheng.

"Your Highness, isn't this too cruel? You know, there are still many innocent poor people in Linhuang Prefecture." At this time, Murong Longcheng looked at Su Ning with an expression of pity and said.

"Murong Longcheng, our Ningyuan Army has been besieging Linhuang Prefecture in Shangjing for a week, but the Khitan nobles in Linhuang Prefecture still refuse to surrender. Do you think we need to continue waiting with them?"

"Your Majesty, I am the one who is stupid."

"Song Chun, open fire in a quarter of an hour. I order you to use up all the artillery shells in stock." Then Su Ning turned to look at Song Chun, the commander of the firearms army, and gave the order.

"Yes! Master."

There are two distinct factions within the Ningyuan Army. One faction is naturally the AI robot that calls Suning "master" every day, and the other faction is the natives of this time and space who call Suning "prince". Therefore, Murong Longcheng, Wuyazi and others are proud to call Suning "master", but now they have various reasons that make it difficult for them to shout "master", so they are always urging themselves to serve Suning.

……

Just when everyone was excitedly waiting to bombard the Linhuang Prefecture in Shangjing, what happened next surprised everyone. The heavily guarded Linhuang Prefecture gate slowly opened from the inside. Yelu Hongji took off his shirt and tied himself and his family members up, holding a jade disk in their mouths. The Khitan ministers who followed him were all in mourning clothes, and the Khitan soldiers carried the coffin. This was the surrender ceremony of "bare flesh, bound face, holding the wall in mouth and kissing each other". This full sense of ritual immediately made Suning feel refreshed all over.

"Yelü Hongji, I promise that I will not humiliate your Khitan family. I believe that the officials in Bianjing will treat you well." Suning looked at the loser kneeling in front of him, making sure that the other party was not Duan Silian with special abilities, and then made his promise to them.

"The false emperor Yelu Hongji thanks King Ning! Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yelu Hongji kowtowed heavily to thank the victor in front of him for his kindness.

"Han Chong." Then Suning looked at the main general Han Chong and gave instructions.

"The end will be here."

"The army is entering the city."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Han Chong immediately stepped out of the line and bowed in response, then ran towards the Ningyuan Army and shouted, "Your Highness orders, the Ningyuan Army is not allowed to rape, plunder, or kill innocent people when entering Linhuang Prefecture."

"Respect the king's order." The unanimous shouts of the 100,000 Ningyuan troops entering the city could be said to have shaken the sky. China once again moved towards the unification that was the inevitable trend.

The Ningyuan Army is now a force independent of the Song Dynasty court. Looking at the gold and silver treasures in the treasury of the Khitan Palace, Suning naturally took them all for himself without hesitation. He did not worry at all that the old emperor and the ministers in Bianliang would blame him. So Suning once again plundered a huge amount of gold and silver, and then he became curious about the treasury of the Western Xia Palace and the Bianliang court.

"Your Highness, should we go to Xixia now to wipe out Yipintang?" Wuyazi and the others became more motivated as they each obtained a huge amount of gold, silver and treasures.

"Okay! Go ahead! Don't let any of the top masters of the First Rank Hall escape."

"Yes! Your Majesty."

After Wuyazi led a group of Xiaoyao Sect masters and Murong Longcheng and his son to Xixia, Su Ning didn't plan to stay in Linhuang Prefecture in Shangjing for too long. He looked at Jinyiwei Commander Su Yi and said, "Su Yi, you must go to Bianjing immediately and tell His Majesty and the ministers to prepare the prisoner presentation ceremony, but you need to let Princess Huirou and Prince Ning's son Zhao Ren accompany His Majesty to participate in the ceremony."

"Yes! Your Majesty."

"Han Chong, Song Chun."

"Master, I will be here."

"I order you to garrison Shangjing Linhuang Prefecture and Dongjing Liaoyang Prefecture respectively. All resistance forces must be eliminated. Then, gather the army in the north and continue the attack westward." "Yes, Your Highness."

Thinking that the Mongols were able to conquer the Eurasian continent with their war horses, there was no reason why Suning, who now owned the space world, could not compare to the Mongols. Therefore, Suning intended to arrange for the army to continue its march westward. He believed that he could establish a super territory far exceeding the Mongols and let the world get to know the Chinese well. With the technology and education of the space world, China would definitely always be far ahead of the world.

……

At this time, the news that the Ningyuan Army had broken through the Khitan's Shangjing Linhuang Prefecture had reached Bianjing, and the old emperor and the ministers in Bianjing all felt their breathing quickened. The feat they had repeated countless times in their dreams was finally realized, but the Ningyuan Army that realized their ideals was a greater crisis for them. For a moment, they looked at each other in confusion and felt helpless.

"Your Majesty, I still request that you send a large army to take over the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun as soon as possible. After all, such an important strategic location cannot be left in the hands of the Ningyuan Army." Prince Yong, who was an expert in courting death, was still unable to face the reality and even tried to continue to instigate the old emperor to compete with the Ningyuan Army for profit.

"Prince Yong, do you think our Song army can defeat the Ningyuan army?" The old emperor, who was infuriated by the greedy Prince Yong, looked at Prince Yong in front of him with sarcasm and asked.

"Your Majesty, Prince Ning is a prince appointed by the court of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Ningyuan Army is also part of the royal army of the Great Song Dynasty. Why do you have to think about fighting a war with them?" At this time, Prince Yong, who had already regarded himself as the crown prince, had no time to face up to his own strength. Perhaps he had already regarded the dominating Suning and the Ningyuan Army as enemies.

"Prince Yong, I understand what you mean, but sometimes righteousness is not absolute. How is this different from when the Gu family went to Yangzhou to seize Prince Ning's Hou'an Salt Farm?" Looking at the royal family member with the most offspring and the best reputation in front of him, the old emperor sighed helplessly and asked in return.

"The official family..."

"That's enough! Don't discuss it anymore! Don't anger Prince Ning and the Ningyuan Army again." At this moment, the old emperor stopped this question decisively. It would be a waste of his life to take food from a tiger.

"..."

"Your Majesty, Su Yi, the commander of the Jinyiwei of the Ningyuan Army, is waiting for you outside the hall." Then a eunuch outside the hall ran into the hall nervously to report.

"Oh? Jinyiwei? Inform them quickly." When the old emperor heard that it was Su Ning's trusted intelligence chief, he immediately had an idea and spoke hurriedly.

"I, Su Yi, the commander of the Jinyiwei of Ningyuan Army, pay my respects to Your Majesty." Su Yi walked up to the hall and knelt down to pay his respects very politely.

"General Su, please stand up! But does Prince Ning have any good news?"

"That's right! Your Majesty, Prince Ning will soon return to the capital, bringing with him the Khitan royal family and all the nobles and ministers."

"Oh? Prince Ning is willing to come to Bian Jing to hold the prisoner surrender ceremony?" At this time, the old emperor and the ministers were all happy, and then they all looked at Su Yi in front of them with confusion.

"Yes! Your Majesty, but Prince Ning has made a request."

"Eh? General Su, please go ahead."

"Your Majesty, when you present the captives to the Imperial Ancestral Temple, you will need Princess Huirou and Prince Ning's son, Zhao Ren, to accompany you."

"What? Ridiculous! His Majesty offered captives in the Taimiao and followed him as the crown prince. Do you want Princess Huirou to be the empress?" At this moment, the hall immediately exploded like a pot of boiling water. Both Prince Yong and Prince Yan became furious.

"..." At this time, the old emperor was also looking at Su Yi in front of him in a daze. He and the ministers finally understood Su Ning's intention. It turned out that Su Ning had been planning this all along.

"Your Majesty, this is the request of Prince Ning and the Ningyuan Army. I hope Your Majesty can consider it carefully." Su Yi didn't bother to pay attention to the shock of the court officials and the barking of Prince Yong. He looked directly at the old emperor on the dragon throne and said again.

"How dare you! I think it is Prince Ning and your Ningyuan Army who are so proud of their achievements that they are trying to challenge the moral principles of the world." Seeing that Su Yi ignored him, the candidate for "Crown Prince", Prince Yong became furious again.

"Prince Yong, are you sure you are insulting me, Prince Ning?" At this time, Su Yi turned his head and looked coldly at Prince Yong in front of him. That look could definitely make him draw his sword and kill the other party.

"You..." Meeting Su Yi's cold and ruthless eyes, King Yong immediately became afraid.

"General Su, Prince Ning's request will naturally be considered in detail. You should go down and have a rest first. It happens that Prince Ning's Mansion in Bian Jing is about to be completed. General Su might as well go to Prince Ning's Mansion to check it for Prince Ning." At this time, the old emperor hurriedly spoke and looked at Su Yi, then deliberately changed the tense topic.

"Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

After Su Yi left the court in a flash, the ministers who had been silent as a cicada became angry again. How could they tolerate the empress appearing in the court of the Song Dynasty? The old emperor looked at the chaotic court with a bitter expression on his face. "My ministers, what are your opinions on Prince Ning's request?"

"Your Majesty, since Prince Ning is so overestimating his own capabilities, we will absolutely not accept his blackmail. We might as well not hold any ceremony to present captives." At this time, Prince Yong stepped out again and made a statement, completely unaware that he had been too active recently.

"Mr. Fu, what do you think?" The old emperor asked without comment, looking at Mr. Fu who was standing aside in deep thought.

"Huh? Your Majesty, Prince Ning does seem to be using the prisoner offering ceremony to blackmail us. Prince Yong's method is also a good idea. As long as our court does not hold the prisoner offering ceremony, Prince Ning's demands and blackmail will naturally fall apart." Then, Prime Minister Fu said in agreement with a wry smile.

"Haha! Gentlemen, do you really think that everything will be fine without holding the prisoner surrender ceremony? This is an opportunity for Prince Ning to reveal all his plans. Do we, the Song Dynasty court, still have the ability to refuse?" The old emperor was very clear-headed and realized that he had no way out.

"Your Majesty, we deserve to die." At this moment, all the ministers in the court knelt down again in shame.

"Haha! Empress? So Prince Ning wants to support an empress?" At this time, the old emperor had no feelings about the people's kowtow and apology. He smiled bitterly and muttered to himself.
