356 Murderous, aggressive Wang Jinling

Wang Jinling's sudden arrival confused everyone. The future head of the Wang family would not come to the palace without any reason, especially at night. There must be a deep meaning for coming at this time, but no one knows what this deep meaning is. However, it must be said that Wang Jinling's arrival bought the emperor some breathing time. The emperor breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand: "Announce."

"Master Xuan is here to see you."

As the eunuchs sang the ritual, Wang Jinling in a purple robe appeared in everyone's sight. The aura he exuded was not something that could be cultivated by aristocratic families that had been passed down for one or two hundred years.

No matter what everyone speculated, when they saw Wang Jinling in person, they all sighed: The eldest master is the eldest master, his unrestrained and romantic demeanor is unmatched.

The eldest son is still as charming as ever.

Wang Jinling had a smile on his face and did not look away, but people along the way still felt that Wang Jinling was smiling at them. When Wang Jinling passed by, no matter how high or low their official positions were, they all smiled. Even Wang Jinling's political enemies could not speak ill of Wang Jinling or act ferociously, because that would make them appear too vulgar and too unsightly to be seen.

Feng Qingchen just wanted to say that Wang Jinling's charm was popular among men, women, young and old. In front of Wang Jinling, even a beggar would sit up straight involuntarily.

Wang Jinling walked all the way to the hall, and just when everyone thought that he would bow and salute as usual, Wang Jinling lifted up his robe, knelt on the ground, and bowed deeply to the emperor.

Such a grand gift is rarely used in normal times. It is only used when the head of each family changes, and the new head of the family will express his loyalty to the emperor by performing a grand gift.

Could it be that Wang Jinling was the new head of the Wang family? Impossible, they had not received any news.

Just when everyone was puzzled, Wang Jinling sang loudly: "Wang Jinling, the head of the Wang family, pays homage to the emperor. Long live the emperor."

It turned out to be the head of the Wang family.

Wang Jinling's words were like a huge rock hitting the calm lake. With a buzzing sound, a heated discussion rang out in the hall.

"Patriarch Wang, I haven't heard that the previous patriarch passed away. Does this mean that Wang Jinling took his father's position?"

"He has been recognized by the family at such a young age. The eldest son is indeed talented."

"The Wang family actually recognized such a young patriarch. The Wang family is so generous."

The emperor was also stunned, but quickly came to his senses: "Master Wang, please stand up." His tone was unprecedentedly friendly.

Compared with the young master of the Wang family, the difference between the patriarch of the Wang family is as great as that between heaven and earth. From today on, Wang Jinling can mobilize all the forces of the Wang family on the Kyushu continent. The entire Wang family will be called by Wang Jinling, and such a Wang Jinling is worthy of being treated with courtesy by the emperors of the four countries.

The emperor originally thought that it would be thirty years before Wang Jinling would become the head of the family. After all, the men in the Wang family all lived long lives, and Wang Jinling's father was only thirty-six years old, so he could still be the head of the family for at least another thirty years. He did not expect that the Wang family was so courageous that they directly forced Wang Jinling's father to give up his position and helped Wang Jinling become the head of the family.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Jinling stood up without hesitation. He now had the right to have an equal dialogue with the emperor. He was not his father. His father was incompetent, timid and cautious. He always gave in to the emperor's suppression, which made the emperor look down on the Wang family more and more. Now he wanted to reverse this situation.

Although the aristocratic families are dependent on the imperial power, the emperor cannot underestimate the power of the aristocratic families.

"Master Wang, you don't have to be polite. The Wang family suddenly changed its head, how come I didn't receive the news?" The emperor was angry. The Wang family was acting more and more arrogantly, and he hadn't received any news before. He would not be able to sleep or eat well unless he got rid of the Wang family.

"Your Majesty, just call me Jin Ling as I was before. The elders of the family have always planned to make Jin Ling the head of the family, but they didn't make the decision until today. Jin Ling immediately went to the palace to inform the emperor that in three days the Wang family will announce to the world that the head of the Wang family will be changed."

"I see. I will come in person to congratulate you in three days." The emperor had to lower his attitude at this time. Although he wanted to get rid of the Wang family, he needed the support of the Wang family.

"Your Majesty's grace is great. Jinling thanks the emperor for his kindness." Wang Jinling did not refuse. After all, no matter how powerful the Wang family was, they were still subject to the imperial power and could not be independent of the imperial power. Of course, the emperor did not dare to do anything to the Wang family.

In the Kyushu Continent, in addition to the emperors of the four countries, there are also the three great families of Cui, Wang, and Xie who are qualified to announce the emperor's name to the world. These three great families have been passed down for thousands of years. Even the royal family of the Lan family in the previous dynasty treated these three families with great courtesy. Of course, these three great families were extremely well-behaved in the previous dynasty and never dared to compete with the royal family for power.

The aristocratic families were dependent on the imperial power, and their children have always only put their family first. So when the Lan Empire was destroyed, the Wang and Xie families depended on the new imperial power, but for some reason the Cui family refused to do so. When the Lan Empire was destroyed, the Cui family went into seclusion, and the emperors of the four countries could not find any trace of this number one family in Kyushu.

After some probing between the Emperor and Wang Jinling, the Emperor confirmed that the Wang family was still loyal to the Dongling royal family. The Emperor was in a very good mood and asked Wang Jinling to stay to celebrate with him. Wang Jinling's position was the first on the right, opposite the Ninth Uncle.

This was truly the utmost favor. The head of the Xie family sat below the other princes with an uneasy look on his face, but he also understood that this was the first time that Wang Jinling appeared as the head of the Wang family, and the emperor was showing him honor and favor. Of course, this honor and favor only belonged to Wang Jinling, because in addition to being the eldest son of the Wang family, Wang Jinling was also the number one son in Jiuzhou.

Wang Jinling sat down without changing his expression, but he stood up again as soon as he sat down. Everyone's heart was lifted. What does this young head of the Wang family want to do?

"Qingchen, what's wrong with your face?" Wang Jinling had a smile on his face the whole time. Although he did not have the arrogance of a young man who had achieved success, he made it clear that Wang Jinling was in a good mood today. His sudden frown made everyone worried.

Feng Qingchen already knew that Wang Jinling entered the palace for her, so she was not surprised to hear this. She stood up and said calmly, "He was beaten." She had no intention of complaining, she was simply stating the facts.

"You were beaten by someone? Who would do that to a weak woman like you in front of so many people? What? Is there no one in Dongling who would bully me?" Wang Jinling had always given a lukewarm impression, but he suddenly got angry and everyone in the audience dared not say a word, even their breathing was slow.

The head of the Wang family is trying to establish his authority. The Nanling Kingdom is expected to bleed. The ministers were silent, but they were extremely happy in their hearts.

Nanling Jinfan's face was like a color palette, sometimes white and sometimes red. His fists were clenched and then unclenched, and then clenched again. His face was full of struggle and grievance, which made people feel distressed and puzzled.

The Ninth Prince's eyelashes trembled slightly and the corners of his eyes raised slightly.

This young head of the Wang family is really not a simple person. The Ninth Prince knows very well that with the ability of the Wang family, there are spies of the Wang family in every corner of the palace. Wang Jinling knew what happened tonight as soon as he entered the palace, but he was able to suppress his worry about Feng Qingchen, pretending to be ignorant, and patiently dealing with the emperor.

It is really admirable that he has such a mind at such a young age.

The Ninth Prince has always admired Wang Jinling. He tapped his index finger on the table and considered the possibility of winning over the Wang family. The Wang family is only loyal to the family. As long as he gives the Wang family enough benefits and guarantees the power and status of the Wang family, it will not be difficult to get the Wang family to side with him. The difficulty is...

His promise can only be fulfilled after the matter is accomplished, but whether it can be accomplished is still a question. With Wang Jinling's calmness and intelligence, he will never take such a risk easily...
