Chapter 443: Can Princess Aithea ascend the throne and become king?
Althea asked in a low voice, "Is it bad for Your Majesty to dislike this food?" ”
Liu Xie smiled and said: "The food is all good food, there is fish and meat, but the quality is really not good." I really can't whet my appetite, so I might as well eat the marching flatbread. Isn't that a bit embarrassing for you? ”
Aithea shook her head and said, "Don't be embarrassed, then Your Majesty, I will also eat your flatbread." ”
Liu Xie smiled: "No problem, okay, no, the flatbread is enough." ”
Then he commanded his attendants to bring an extra portion of bread.
Seeing that Liu Xie and Aithia were both eating cakes, the officials of the hundred times were both surprised and snickered, Liu Xie understood that they were laughing at themselves, he just smiled and ignored them.
King Wei Dai said: "Your Majesty the Great Emperor, I have the delicacies of the mountains and seas here, isn't it to your liking?" ”
Liu Xie smiled and said: "No, your food is very good, but I left my hometown and couldn't adapt to the water and soil, so I could only eat the flatbread I brought with me." ”
A Baicheng official smiled and said, "Your Majesty is not blessed to accept my Baicheng food." ”
Liu Xie knew that he was ridiculing himself, and he didn't argue with him, so he said in his heart: Why can you also call this food? One day, let you meet the Han meal, you will know what is called food!
Liu Xie just smiled, now his own people are still hundreds of miles away, and there are not many people on the side, Liu Xie thought: When the big army arrives, I think you dare to be so arrogant.
Although some ministers made disrespectful remarks, on the whole, no one dared to mess around, after all, so many airships were parked outside, and they had all seen the power of the Han army's muskets.
Seeing that Althea was also eating flatbread, King Willy asked, "Daughter, why do you eat bread too?" ”
Aithea smiled and said, "I'm the emperor's woman now, so of course I want to eat the same thing as the emperor, but this cake is really delicious." ”
Seeing that Athea ate deliciously, King Waidai didn't say anything more.
Liu Xie said: "Concubine Ai, there are cooking masters in my guards, so I'll let them cook now." Tonight's supper, as well as the food in the future, will be made by them, and you will also taste my Han cuisine when the time comes. ”
"Yes, yes," said Althea, clapping her hands.
At this time, King Wei Dai coughed and said, "Your Majesty, daughter, all the ministers, this king now has a very important matter to announce! ”
Everyone put down their food and looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
King Wei Dai said: "My health is not very good, and my condition is getting worse, and it is difficult to manage the affairs of the country, so I decided to pass on to Princess Aithea ......."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar at the banquet, and all the ministers were in an uproar, most of them expressing their opposition.
Liu Xie sneered, he immediately understood in his heart what was going on, this Keith Crooked Lu Rebellion had just been pacified, but among these ministers, there were very few who were really his henchmen of King Weidai.
Rather than working so hard, it is better to pass on Althea, fortunately, there are big names like Liu Xie behind him.
Looking at the noisy appearance at the banquet table, Liu Xie asked Althea what was going on, and Althea said: "Half of them are the old forces of Case's crooked ru, and half of them are my stubborn old ministers, and everyone can't bear the matter of a woman being the king in terms of concept. ”
Liu Xie asked: "Then do you want to be this queen?" ”
"I ......," Althea said hesitantly.
Liu Xie said: "As long as you have this idea, I will support you, and I will inevitably help you up, and promise you that the promises I made to you before can be fulfilled." ”
Althea made up her mind and nodded. Liu Xie said: "That's fine." ”
With that, Liu Xie pulled out a pistol from his waist, raised the gun, rushed to the roof, pulled the trigger, bang, bang, and fired three shots in a row. The gunfire was loud, the roof was broken from time to time, and a table was scattered on the banquet table, which frightened all the ministers in a daze.
After Liu Xie fired these three shots, more than 100 guards of the Han army immediately ran in, holding guns, and surrounded everyone.
Hundreds of people have never seen a gun, and they didn't know that this thing was so powerful and could make such a loud sound.
Liu Xie said: "King Wei Dai wants to pass on Princess Athea, it was originally your own business, I don't bother to care, but now that Princess Athea is my woman, then I have to take care of it." ”
Liu Xie guarded, left his seat, began to circle around the table, and asked, "I will ask you now, who is against Althea's accession to the throne and king?" ”
Everyone didn't speak, and Liu Xie asked again: "Say, tell me your opinions." ”
One of the ministers stood up and said, "Well, huh...... I have not had a queen's ...... since ancient times."
Liu Xie walked up to him with a smile, opened the pistol safe, and put the barrel of the gun against the person's forehead, the man was so frightened that he trembled, Liu Xie asked, "What did you say?" I didn't hear you clearly, you say it again. ”
The man trembled and said, "Ah, ah, why can't we start with Princess Aithea?" Princess Althea is both civil and military, strategizing, and is fully qualified for the position of queen! ”
Liu Xie smiled secretly in his heart, good guy, this guy changed his words too quickly, right? He smiled and drew his pistol and said, "Yes, you're right. Ladies and gentlemen, do you know what this is in my hands? It's called a pistol, and do you know the power of a pistol? ”
After saying that, Ping stretched out his hand and turned in circles, and the muzzle of the gun passed in front of everyone in turn, so frightened that everyone trembled, and finally the muzzle was aimed at a sculpture on the side, Liu Xie pulled the trigger, and the gun rang out, the sculpture was carved with marble belt, and the head of the sculpture was immediately shattered.
Liu Xie blew the muzzle of the gun and said, "Oops, I accidentally shot it." ”
The marble statues were smashed with one shot, and the reason why Liu Xie did this was completely because he remembered the deterrent effect, and the purpose was achieved. Everyone is honest now.
Liu Xie said: "Where did I talk about it just now? ”
Everyone didn't dare to speak, and Xiao Luozi said on the side: "Your Majesty is asking who is against Aithea's accession to the throne and king. ”
"Oh yes," Liu Xie said, "who else is against you?" ”
Everyone no longer dared to say against it, and whoever opposed it at this time would not know if they would be shot, so who would be so stupid.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Liu Xie walked up to a minister and said, "Just now I felt that you were the loudest opponent, I didn't say anything wrong, right?" ”
The man said, "No, no! Your Majesty the Great Emperor, Princess Althea is so good, why should I object? Her accession to the throne and the title of king is the blessing of sixteen million people of my Hundred Vehicles Dynasty! ”
Liu Xie smiled and asked, "Is this your true words?" ”
"It's true, from the bottom of my heart!" The man swore an oath.
Liu Xie said again: "If you want to oppose it, stand up and say it, if you don't oppose it, you won't have a chance in the future!" ”
