Chapter 156: Divine Decree
"More importantly, now the military power of the Wind Country has fallen into the hands of Lu Chen, although he is not the Wind King in name, but he already has the power of the Wind King, even if His Majesty does not grant the Son of Heaven the entitlement, then the reality of Lu Chen's throne can no longer be changed."
Without waiting for Yang Xuan to answer, Zhang Sidong immediately continued: "In addition, although the countries still respect Your Majesty as the Son of Heaven, dare to ask Your Majesty, in the eyes of those princes, who really puts the imperial power in their eyes?" Could it be that Your Majesty is really willing to let my empire continue to decline like this, and let those princes bully you? β
"What does Aiqing mean by this?" Hearing this, Yang Xuan couldn't help but sit up straight.
The dignified empire, the huge territory, has evolved so far, and there is only one county left, and it is still alive. In the final analysis, it is the reason for decay to the bones.
Although Yang Xuan is mediocre and incompetent, he is still the emperor of the empire after all, and when he mentions the matter of imperial power, he will naturally become nervous.
Zhang Sidong said: "Your Majesty, with Lu Chen's current strength, he can directly claim the king. Therefore, Wei Chen thought that instead of letting him stand on his own, it was better for His Majesty to be a favor and make it right, so that not only could he be in the name of His Majesty's Son of Heaven, but Lu Chen would also be grateful to His Majesty. Although the country of wind is located in a desolate and barren land, it is still a country after all, if His Majesty can win it over, why not do it? β
Yo! Hearing Zhang Sidong say this, Yang Xuan immediately came to a little spirit, and he said: "That's right, the first emperor also taught me that if you want to restore the imperial power, you must use the princes as a use, Aiqing, if you don't remind me, I would have forgotten about this." β
Hehe, Yang Xuan is really naΓ―ve! How can you really use the wind country for you, it's just that you take a fancy to the imperial flag in your hand. Zhang Sidong shook his head secretly, but he didn't dare to say that on his face, the purpose of his advice today was to get Yang Xuan to agree to this matter, and he had already accepted a heavy bribe from Li Miaocai a few days ago.
Originally, in Yang Xuan's eyes, he was not interested in paying attention to this matter at all, but in the end, under Zhang Sidong's advice, the imperial court still decided to entitle Lu Chen as the king of the new wind, and in the envoys who went to the wind, Zhang Sidong hurriedly asked for his life, for fear of being robbed by others.
Because in his opinion, this time he went to Fengdi with the edict of the Son of Heaven, it was definitely a beautiful difference, and when the time came, Lu Chen was happy, and he didn't know how much benefit he would give himself!
Zhang Sidong, as a prince, is a very popular minister, but among the current ministers of the empire, who is not like him, they all want to make a little money?
After the matter was finalized, Yang Xuan was just about to announce his retirement from the court, but at this time, at the gate outside the palace, there was suddenly a eunuch who probed his brain there.
"Who's outside the palace?" The sharp-eyed Yang Xuan asked loudly.
When all the ministers heard this, they all looked behind them, and when they saw that it was a little eunuch, they immediately made a big uproar, and some ministers couldn't help but shout: "Bold slave!" The palace hall is the place where the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials discuss politics, how can you be there to be a roe deer! Where are the guards!? β
With his shouting, the two palace guards at the palace gate and the little eunuch hurriedly trotted into the hall and knelt down below.
"What a big deal! As a palace guard, you let a small eunuch break in! Such an unauthorized departure! What is the crime!? Some ministers shouted angrily.
Ah! The two guards were suddenly frightened, and one of them begged for mercy again and again: "My lord's forgiveness, this is the person next to the Jade Concubine, the villain, the villain dare not stop it......"
"What!?" When the minister heard this, his nose was almost crooked, he took a deep breath, turned to Yang Xuan above and said, "Your Majesty!" These three should all be cut in half! β
Hearing this, the little eunuch who was kneeling on the ground hurriedly trembled and shouted: "Your Majesty spare your life, Your Majesty spare your life!" The little one is the one who came to invite His Majesty to the back garden to enjoy the fish at the order of the mother......"
"Oh? Is the Jade Concubine waiting for me? Hearing this, Yang Xuan hurriedly asked.
"Exactly, exactly, Niangniang has been waiting for Your Majesty for a long time, so I asked the little one to come over and see if the court meeting is over......" The little eunuch returned.
"Haha-I know, you go down and tell Concubine Yu, I will go over to accompany her." Yang Xuan waved his hand and said.
When the little eunuch heard this, if he was granted amnesty, he hurriedly retreated with a promise.
"Your Majesty!" The minister said urgently.
"Huh?" Before he could speak, Yang Xuan had already interrupted him and said: "Lord Wang doesn't need to say much, Concubine Yu is my favorite person, and I also told the guards that if you meet someone around Concubine Yu, you don't need to stop it, so I don't blame them." β
What the......
When everyone heard this, they were dumbfounded. The Imperial Parliamentary Hall, what a place! Acting like this, unheard of, unseen.
"Okay, if there is nothing else, this is the end of today's court discussion, I will go first." As soon as Yang Xuan finished speaking, he had already left the dragon chair.
At this moment, his heart has already flown to the beauty, where is he still thinking to chirp here with their group of old ministers. The jade concubine in his mouth has the appearance of a country and a city, enchanting to the bones, and a variety of styles. From the moment he saw her for the first time, Yang Xuan never pampered the other concubines, let alone paid attention to any political affairs, otherwise, he would not have yawned again and again in the morning every day......
People looked at each other, and finally looked at Yang Xuanxing's elated back, and could only kneel on the ground again, singing loudly in unison:
"Ministers send your majesty ......"
On the other side, after Li Miaocai's news was transmitted back to Fengdu, Lu Chen began to prepare for the king's reign.
A month later, the envoys of the Son of Heaven arrived in Fengzhou.
On this day, all the civil and military generals under Lu Chen's account, and the hundreds of local civil and military officials, from the county head to the county guard, all those with grades were all recalled to the capital by Lu Chen.
At present, there are three steps and one post in the palace, five steps and one sentry, and there are many armor soldiers.
Outside the main hall, hundreds of officials gathered, crowded, whether they were officials or generals, people were all dressed in official uniforms, standing under Lu Chen, waiting for the arrival of the envoys of the Son of Heaven.
On both sides of the large square under the steps, there are countless soldiers of the Wind Army with bright armor and long halberds.
The pomp and circumstance was so big that Zhang Sidong, who entered the Wind King's Palace for the first time, couldn't help but be frightened, he walked through the passage in the middle of more than 100,000 wind soldiers, looking at those cold and shining spears, looking at those wind army soldiers with straight waists and strong military appearances, he couldn't help but secretly think that if the Son of Heaven had such a majestic army in his hands, why would the imperial court be here......
He walked in front of Lu Chen, then raised his hand slightly, and the attendant behind him stepped forward knowingly, and raised the tray in his hand respectfully to Zhang Sidong's hand, who picked up a golden edict from it, unfolded it, and chanted loudly:
"Lu Chen took the order-"
