Chapter 140 : The Time Has Come
The tottering sun finally set behind the western mountains.
Among the people in the court, some were truly shocked, confused, and at a loss.
But there were also some who were just pretending.
Xiao Zhengyang's status, talent, and methods... were indeed worthy of being the emperor of a new dynasty. No one did not submit to him.
But his poor condition was also plain to see.

After this person was gone, who would have the final say in the court... that was hard to say.
Some people couldn't help but shift their gazes and glance to the side.

Following their line of sight, an old man in a bright red official robe stood there quietly, gently stroking the jade thumb ring on his thumb, his face expressionless.
Dong Zhenghong.
These days, he had been suppressed quite a bit by Xiao Zhengyang, and a lot of his power had been taken back.
If Xiao Zhengyang had lived a little longer, he might really have been squeezed out of this power field.

But... what a pity.
People could never fight against fate.
No matter how talented a monarch you were, if you couldn't outlive others, it was all in vain!
"My lord, it's time."

A gloomy wind blew through the hall, and several officials couldn't help but shiver.
A strange whisper sounded in his ear.

Dong Zhenghong didn't even pretend. He didn't even glance at the unconscious new king on the throne, nor did he say anything more.
He directly turned around and walked out of the great hall.
...
"I heard that the Blood-Clothed Army in the south has already proclaimed themselves emperor!"
"These rebels, how dare they claim territory and kingship? What are they called? Da Qi?"
"I heard that the court has already sent troops to suppress them, and it's General Ling leading the troops!"

"Really? General Ling is amazing!"
"Hahaha~ The new emperor has ascended the throne, wise and divine... My Great Qian is truly saved."
"Let me tell you, on East Street that day, someone saw a ghost..."
...
Xiang Man Lou, bustling and prosperous.
Spring had arrived, and the weather was gradually warming up. The number of diners coming here had also gradually increased.
E n̈ û m̂ a
People were eating delicious food, clinking glasses, and discussing all sorts of things they knew.
Unknowingly, more than half a year had passed.

The small tavern that no one had cared about at the beginning had gradually grown into a famous grand tavern in the capital.
Its dishes were already excellent, and there were endless business strategies and promotional methods, an interesting business model, storytelling... and, the legendary person behind it all.
All of this was the capital that had propped up this tavern to the heavens.
And today, there seemed to be a special person here.

A little bit of bright sun shone down, and a figure walked in through the door.
This tavern was lively, and it was normal for people to come and go.
It was just...
"Shopkeeper... uh, Lord Ming, why have you come?"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The middle-aged man who was temporarily in charge of affairs at the counter saw the visitor, his eyes widened, and he hurriedly ran out, bowing in salute.
With his one sentence, for a moment, the tavern hall was eerily quiet.
Еn̂u̇m̀ á. іd̂
The storyteller didn't even dare to say another word.
Everyone turned their gazes in unison, staring blankly at the young and handsome man.
In this capital, there should only be one person who would be called 'Shopkeeper' and 'Lord Ming' by this person.
Ming Chen!
After Ming Chen returned from Northern Lie, he had been much more low-key.
Basically, no more deeds were spread.

But any of the things he had done, if taken out, was enough to boast about for a lifetime.
His position had already reached the third rank, and he was also crowned with the titles of Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and Junior Mentor.
The huge gap between classes existed. There were not many people above him, and he had long since been separated from the people in this tavern by a world of difference.
This excessively young person was the biggest backer of this tavern.
The tavern's business was ridiculously good, but no other peer dared to come and find fault out of jealousy.
Ming Chen had never come again. Countless people had longed to meet him. Only some old customers remembered his appearance and felt honored.
Èn̂.u m а̂.
And today, they finally saw him.
Dignified and imposing, handsome and elegant, truly a man of outstanding talent.

Ming Chen glanced at the tavern. He hadn't been here for a long time, and it seemed to have changed a little, having been redecorated.
The reverent gazes of the surrounding people made him feel emotional.
Unknowingly, he had already formed a thick barrier with these people.

In the inner room of the tavern,
"Everyone, long time no see."
Most of the people in the tavern were old-timers, with only a few new faces.
Ming Chen looked at the group of waiters around him and nodded slightly.

"My lord... long time no see..."
He was clearly excessively young, but no one dared to meet his gaze. Only the waiter who was acting as the manager braced himself and bowed to him.

"Mmm."
Ming Chen nodded slightly. "I came today to tell you all one thing."
Ming Chen, this person, was not very humble to his superiors, and similarly, he was not very arrogant to his subordinates.
His words and actions were no different from usual.
"Your name is Zheng Yang, right?"
"Yes!"

"From now on, this tavern will be under your management."
"Of course, this tavern belongs to everyone."
"You are in charge, and everyone supervises."
"If you don't want to do it anymore, you can also sell it. You can all share the money from the sale."
"To avoid arguments, I will set a share for you..."
"You can discuss major events yourselves. If more than seventy percent of the shares agree, you can do it."

The enemies in the court probably wouldn't be so petty as to make things difficult for these people at the bottom.
After all, making things difficult for these people would have no effect on Ming Chen.

But without his protective umbrella, with the cake placed so blatantly on the street, it was feared that it would experience more storms and pressure.
For Ming Chen to come here and say this was already the most he could do out of benevolence.
This tavern was his first experimental venture. The results were quite good.
Later, when he changed places, he could let Xiu Die create another one.

These waiters had gotten along with him quite well. They were all quite diligent and simple people.
He had once told Ling Yu what kind of person he was. 'I help you, you help me, we cooperate for a win-win situation.'
Now that he was about to leave, he didn't know when he would be back. The world would have changed by then.
This tavern was his gift to these people who had followed him.

Human nature was very realistic. Ming Chen didn't know if the people in this tavern would coexist peacefully after he left, or if they would fall apart due to fighting for power and profit.
But Ming Chen had already let go. Whether it was good or bad, it was their own fortune.

"Alright, that's all."
"Everyone, go and get busy."
After Ming Chen finished speaking, he nodded at the stunned crowd.
Although he had finished speaking, no one in the room left.
The matter Ming Chen had announced was too explosive for them. For a moment, their minds were blank, and they didn't know what to say.
"Lord Ming, you... are you leaving the capital?"

Zheng Yang suddenly came back to his senses and couldn't help but ask Ming Chen.
Ming Chen glanced at him and just said, "Don't ask too much."
After speaking, he turned and left on his own.
Just as he was about to go out the door.
"Shopkeeper!"
Suddenly, Zheng Yang cried out, "We won't sell this tavern!"
Wеb n ov е̇l Ē ǹ ũm a
"We will wait for you here!"
Ming Chen was a very special person, intelligent and mysterious, unpredictable, excessively young but not lacking in majesty.

But he was a good leader.
He had brought a world-changing change to this tavern, and also a world-changing change to the lives of these people.
The monthly salary had been raised again and again, never in arrears, and there were all kinds of benefits.
The waiters had experienced this tavern from its decline to its rise. For them, this place was also a home. Ming Chen was a parent they could not touch but respected and admired. They were willing to work in this tavern for a lifetime.

Zheng Yang's voice fell,
"Shopkeeper! We will wait for you to come back!"
"Shopkeeper, we won't sell!"
"Shopkeeper, thank you!"

...
In the not-so-spacious inner room, the waiters' cries rose and fell.

Ming Chen, this person, was very realistic. He didn't know how many people were being coerced into saying these words.
He was actually more willing to believe that these people would argue for their own interests and sell this tavern after he had just left.
Of course, he did not deny that the shouts of these people now still made him happy.
He swayed, did not turn his head, but just waved his hand casually and disappeared from people's sight.
The time had come, it was time to go.

"Imperial Brother!!!"
A naturally noble beauty in a palace dress rushed into the room, her face full of anxiety and nervousness.
On the bed, the person who was the noble monarch of a country, who held great power, the most noble person in the world, was lying there quietly, his face gaunt, his breath as faint as a thread.
Illness came like a landslide.
Although Xiao Zhengyang had a gentle personality, in reality, he had always been a very strong-willed person. That's why he had always been persistent in wanting to fulfill the responsibilities he had set for himself, to do those things that seemed meaningless to Ming Chen.
It was just that human strength had its limits. The breath he had been holding on to for so long seemed to have finally dissipated at this moment.

"Xinyue... you're here!"
Hearing his sister's voice, Xiao Zhengyang's empty eyes gradually regained their spirit.

A smile appeared on his chapped lips, and he turned to look.
His sister had come. The proud beauty, her eyes sharp, her gaze breaking through the flying wild geese. As she walked, her robe rolled with thunder, full of spirit, exuding a vibrant life force, as if the heavens and earth were cheering for her.
He had seen with his own eyes how his sister had grown from a dejected and broken state to her current proud and confident appearance.
'Truly... enviable.'
Ẅе̄b̃ n оṽ е̂ l E ñú má
Ming Chen had told him that his sister would become a more outstanding emperor than him.
'As expected of Ming Chen~ his judgment is really good.'
"Imperial Brother, how are you?"
Xiao Zhengyang's health was not good, but Xiao Xinyue had never seen him so weak.

She had expected that her imperial brother would leave, but she had not expected that this day would come so quickly, making her a little unable to adapt.
Life was like a flickering candle flame, perhaps in the next moment, it would be blown out by the wind.

Xiao Zhengyang's significance to her was not just that of an older brother, but also a father, a person she admired.
If he were to leave, it would mean that a pillar in her heart would collapse.
"I... I'll go find..."
After returning from Northern Lie, Xiao Xinyue had rarely been so lost and at a loss.
Her first thought was of that dissolute person who liked to smile mischievously and tease people, but who always had a way.
But before she could finish, she was interrupted by Xiao Zhengyang.

The weak monarch smiled at her. As his life gradually came to an end, his gaunt face was very peaceful. "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, come here... Xinyue, talk to me..."
