Dong Ling, no, now you should call Zhou Wei.
In Zhou Wei capital, all the people received new clothes sent by the court.
He wore a high hat, a wide belt, and a long gown with wide sleeves. He looked like a fairy as he walked, with an ancient style.
Nowadays, everyone on Zhouwei's streets wears this style of clothes.
Looking around, all I saw were tall hats, wide sleeves dancing in the wind, and long skirts trailing on the ground. For a moment, I thought that people had walked out of an ancient scroll.
In the eyes of ordinary people, major events that could shake the world, such as the Zhou Dynasty, the new emperor, and the unification of the four kingdoms, were nothing more than after-dinner talk.
They only care about whether taxes will increase, whether the court will need to recruit soldiers, and whether the new emperor will be merciful.
Fortunately, the new emperor ascended the throne and issued a general amnesty, exempting taxes for half a year.
Now the people were happy. Not only could they not wear ancient clothes, they would even be happy if they were asked not to wear clothes!
The Imperial Palace.
Weisheng Xuan flipped through the ceremony master of ceremonies book, his brows furrowed, his eyes carefully scanning every detail. Only after he was sure that everything was correct did he nod, put it down, and picked up another one to look at it carefully.
Opposite him, Ji Wuwang sat upright, his bright yellow dragon robe reflecting the dazzling sunlight, which made him look more majestic and like an emperor.
Wei Shengxuan raised his eyelids and asked, "Have the people sent to Yunqin, Nanzhao, and Xiyao replied?"
Ji Wuwang nodded and said, "Yes, everything is correct. The important officials of these three countries have all been replaced by our people.
It’s just that the envoys sent to the countries in Beijiang are still on their way.”
Wei Shengxuan snorted coldly, "There shouldn't be any problem. Fengwu is just a country of women, how powerful can a woman in charge be? As for Wei Zhao, he was defeated, needless to say. The tricky one is Beijiang, and Gu Wei is a character."
Ji Wuwang's eyes flashed with disdain, and his right eyebrow raised, "No matter how powerful you are, in front of our Zhou Dynasty, you are just a jumping clown, and you will be defeated by me in the future."
Wei Shengxuan nodded, "I will ascend the throne in half a month. Have you memorized all the words of the ceremony? How many times have you performed the ceremony?"
Ji Wuwang's eyebrows flashed with impatience, "Sir, I have practiced it over and over again for no less than thirty times since a month ago. I have memorized the etiquette words by heart, I know."
Wei Shengxuan's face turned cold, "This is not a joke! If you make a mistake, I will hold you accountable."
Ji Wuwang was so angry that he gnashed his teeth. "You old fool, I am the emperor and the descendant of the Zhou royal family. You are just a subject, how dare you question me?"
When I have all the power under my control, I will definitely execute you! Anyway, you are not the only one in the Weisheng family!
Weishengxuan knew that Ji Wuwang must be cursing him behind his back again.
His old face remained expressionless.
I thought to myself that it was just a wild dog that I could never tame.
When Ji Wuwang marries and has a child, he will take the newborn in and teach him from a young age, making sure that the child becomes the most perfect emperor!
While Weisheng Xuan was thinking, a report came from outside the door saying that all the envoys had arrived at the palace one after another and were waiting to be summoned.
Weishengxuan put down the book, stood up first with a gloomy face.

In the main hall, after hearing the replies from the three envoys, Ji Wuwang was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot, and the twelve tassels on his forehead were shaking.
"What! How dare they!?"
Wei Shengxuan's eyes were gloomy, and he quickly turned the jade ring on his index finger with his thumb, and asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure that these three countries have all refused to watch the ceremony?"
The envoy replied tremblingly.
"Yes, Master, and I refuse it sternly. There is no room for maneuver."
Weisheng Xuan closed his eyes and opened them again. A thought flashed quickly through his mind, but he felt it was unlikely.
He was able to conquer the three kingdoms of Yunqin, Xiyao, and Nanzhao because the Weisheng family had laid hidden clues since the previous generation.
Beijiang, Fengwu, and Weizhao, these three countries that seem to have nothing to do with each other, how could they suddenly unite without any grudges?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
Wei Shengxuan pinched his brows and calmed down. "As an emperor, why are you making such a fuss? If you don't want to come, then don't come. We can just fight. Anyway, we represent the Zhou royal family and are the legitimate government in the world."
Such peace was soon broken.
A few days later, Weisheng Xuan received a message.
The monarch of Beijiang announced to the world that he planned to get married on the eighth day of June and invited everyone to watch the ceremony.
The eighth day of June is the day when the new emperor Zhou Wei ascends the throne. This is a slap in their faces!
Gu Wei even sent wedding invitations to the Zhou Wei royal family! He didn't take Zhou Weiguo seriously at all!
Wei Shengxuan, who usually kept his emotions to himself, couldn't help but curse and angrily tore up the wedding invitation in his hand.
"What a daring Gu Wei! He is so bold!"
What he was more worried about was whether Feng Wu and Wei Zhao had secretly joined forces with Bei Jiang.
He couldn't let that happen.
If these three countries really unite, it will be difficult to unify the world, and it may take many years.
Wei Shengxuan pondered for the whole night and called Zibin.
We have no choice but to use this method. No matter what, the Triple Alliance must not be established!
What Weisheng Xuan didn’t know was that what made him even more angry was yet to come - the Nangong family actually escaped!
The entire Nangong family disappeared like a wisp of smoke, leaving no trace!
The once majestic and grand Nangong Mansion was engulfed in fire overnight, with all its carved beams and painted buildings reduced to ashes.
Ji Wuwang sent tens of thousands of people to search, but still found nothing.
The Nangong family mysteriously disappeared in Zhouwei Country, as if they had never appeared.
