Emperor Yan ascended the jade platform step by step, turned to face the ministers and the Three Kingdoms envoys in the main hall, his eyes shot a cold light, and he said in a vigorous and powerful tone, "If the strong enemy offends my Great Yan, although he will be punished!" These twelve words are well written, but I think that this sentence is better, this is like our Da Yan man, this is like the words that Da Yan man, who is known as having bronze blood in his blood, should say. Wei Zhongxian, set up the stele in front of the Taiji Palace, and then engraved Ji Qingchen's name, I want my children and grandchildren to remember this sentence, and let the children and grandchildren remember this oath: although it will be punished! ”

The ministers were stunned, but before he could speak out, he heard Wei Zhongxian speak, "The old slave takes the order!" ”

They could only swallow the words that had just come to their mouths.

After Emperor Yan gave Wei Zhongxian's order, he said to Pei Wenju, the prime minister who was the first on the left in the main hall, "How do you think I should reward the Nine Emperor Princes, Ji Qingchen?" ”

Just now, Emperor Yan said that he would reward him with a king. Now he asked Pei Wenju like this, Prime Minister Pei Cheng, who had been firmly seated as Prime Minister of Great Yan for 20 years, did he think that this was Emperor Yan's regret and wanted to find a step down. But he couldn't really give Ji Qingchen a prince according to Emperor Yan's wishes, because if he did this, it would be equivalent to helping Ji Qingchen, and it would be equivalent to pushing Ji Qingchen to the position of the East Palace. He pondered for a moment and said, "The minister thinks that His Majesty has promised to crown His Royal Highness Nine as the king just now, and with His Royal Highness Jiu's current age and merits, it is most appropriate to be crowned the king of Beiping County." ”

The king of Beiping is just a miscellaneous county king with no actual fiefdom, which is inferior to Ji Ping's Song king, and the Song king of Ji Ping is still a prince! And Pei Wenju suggested this, he not only fulfilled the promise made by Emperor Yan to be the king, but did he let Ji Qingchen take advantage of it, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

However, after listening to his suggestion, Emperor Yan did not immediately echo it, but asked Jing Hou Bai Jin, the first person in the military on the side, "What does Jing Hou mean?" ”

Bai Jin and Emperor Yan were born and died for decades, and they were very familiar with the Son of Heaven who was both a friend and a king, and said proudly, "The matter of the Nine Emperors being crowned as kings is all up to Your Majesty!" However, the Privy Council will burn the words of the Nine Emperor Princes engraved on the stone tablet into a booklet, and then pass it on to the border armies in various places to strengthen the army's might. ”

Bai Jin did not make a suggestion to Emperor Yan to ask him to make Ji Qingchen the king, but he affirmed Ji Qingchen's words engraved on the stone tablet as the first person in the Great Yan military, which was enough to express the military's attitude towards the Nine Emperors.

"Hmph-" Emperor Yan sneered, "Age? I don't care if he is my son or a person of Dayan, as long as he can make Dayan rise to power, he deserves his own reward. As for merit? If an oath that can strengthen the prestige of Yan Jun and inherit the spirit of Da Yan for thousands of years is not enough, then how much merit does he need to make? ”

When Emperor Yan said these words, he was obviously refuting Prime Minister Pei Wenju's proposal to seal Ji Qingchen as the title of King of Beiping County, and everyone in the hall had clearly realized through Emperor Yan's words that since the Prime Minister's suggestions were useless, His Majesty was determined to seal the title of the Ninth Emperor Viscount this time, so he closed his mouth.

Sure enough, Emperor Yan glanced at everyone's reactions, and saw that everyone no longer spoke to persuade him to be the king of Ji Qingchen, so he said to Wang Zeng, a scholar who was in charge of the edict on the side, "Wang Zeng drafted: The Nine Emperors' Son Ji Qingchen, the passionate words of the scholar Yan Nan'er, Qionglin Yuan Yang Yan Tianwei, meritorious society, blessing and descendants." Special Feng Ji Qingchen is the king of Northern Liao. ”

King of Northern Liao!

The fief is Liaozhou in the north of Dayan, and the title is a two-character prince.

For Ji Qingchen, who is seventeen years old and has not yet made any meritorious achievements, this prince is indeed too respectful!

Therefore, as soon as the reward in Emperor Yan's mouth came out, the ministers in the main hall were stunned, and immediately several people immediately knelt on the ground with a "plop".

Cui Jingsheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, shouted, "Your Majesty can't-"

"Your Majesty, the king of Northern Liao can't be lightly sealed!" Wang You, the secretary of the ministry, shouted.

"Your Majesty, Liaozhou alone against hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen in Beirong, the king of Northern Liao has to shoulder the gateway of Dayan to guard the north, and the king of Northern Liao can't be lightly sealed!" Taifu Wang Shihan also retorted. There are also dozens of people such as Cha Shenxing, the imperial envoy of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Yu Jing, the secretary of the Dali Temple, and Wenzhong, the servant of the Criminal Department, who have spoken out against it.

Just now, they didn't object to Emperor Yan conferring the title of prince to Ji Qingchen, because they felt that no matter how much Emperor Yan favored the Nine Emperor Princes, no matter how much he rewarded the Nine Emperor Princes, it was just a reward for a prince's title, which they could still bear. After all, in addition to the queen's concubine, as long as the prince born to the four noble concubines is a prince, he will be crowned a prince when he reaches the age of eighteen, and now Emperor Yan has given Ji Qingchen the title of prince, which is just one step earlier, and it will not affect the big situation for them.

But what they didn't expect was that this reward would seal a real king of Northern Liao.

What is the King of Northern Liao?

It is the prince of Liaozhou in the north of Dayan.

If in the future, Dayan set up a metropolitan governor's mansion in Liaozhou in order to deal with Beirong, wouldn't the Nine Emperor Princes, who were named the king of Northern Liao, become the rightful governor of Liaozhou? Governor of Liaozhou! This is the prince who is in charge of the military affairs of the four states of Ying, Liao, Yun, and Shang!

As the saying goes, the world's elite soldiers go out of Northern Liao.

Now, if the Nine Emperors are crowned the king of Northern Liao, and then grasp the military power of the Northern Liao army, who in this world can still stop him from competing for the position of prince?

Therefore, the heads and ministers of the seven great families such as Wang You and Cui Jingsheng will give advice regardless of their identity and Emperor Yan's face!

"Hmph-" Emperor Yan sneered, his smile was full of sarcasm and disdain, and he said loudly in front of Wang You, Cui Jingsheng and others kneeling in the main hall, "I know that you will oppose it, because I know what you are thinking in your hearts. But you don't joke, now that the holy decree has been issued, do you want to let me lose my words? ”

Wang You, Cui Jingsheng, Cha Shenxing, Yu Jing and Taifu Wang Shihan, who were kneeling in the main hall, stopped talking. Let the Son of Heaven lose his words, they can't afford this crime! I can only feel bitter in my heart and endure this bitter fruit.

And at this moment, Wang You, Cui Jingsheng and others discovered how sharp the gaze of Prime Minister Pei Wenju was just now, and they knew the intentions of Emperor Yan with foresight, and were ready to reward Ji Qingchen with the title of the king of Beiping County and replace the king of Northern Liao. At that time, they scoffed at Pei Wenju when they said such a reward, and felt that Pei Wenju was humiliating himself. Now that I think about it, I realize that Pei Wenju is not humiliating himself, but he has long known that the reward behind Lu Dao will be strongly advised! It is no wonder that this scholar has been able to sit in the position of Prime Minister of Dayan for 20 years, and in terms of this vision, judgment and state of mind, he cannot compare.

Wang You, Cui Jingsheng, Cha Shenxing, Yu Jing and Taifu Wang Shihan could only get up and retreat!

In a moment, the decree was given.

Wei Zhongxian, the governor of the Great House, read out the content of the holy decree on the spot, sealed the Nine Emperors Ji Qingchen as the king of Northern Liao, handed the holy decree to Ji Qingchen, and waited for Ji Qingchen to thank Emperor Yan, and then the banquet continued for half an hour, and Emperor Yan announced the end of the banquet, and everyone dispersed.

King of Northern Liao!

This is the third prince of the Yan Emperor, in addition to the third prince Ji Hongchang's King Ning and the fourth prince Ji Wen's King Lu, and it is also a prince who is expected to be able to serve as the governor of Liaozhou.

This is definitely a big thing that has caused an uproar in the world!

So when waiting for the banquet to end, everyone came out of Qionglin Garden, and the princes stepped forward in turn to congratulate Ji Qingchen.

It's just that except for the third prince Ji Hongchang who has a straightforward personality and the fourth prince Ji Wen who is bookish, the second prince Ji Ping who has a hypocritical personality, the fifth prince and the sixth prince who are not yin and yang, and the seventh prince who stayed out of the matter, everyone left in a hurry after a few polite words. Only Ji Qian, the eighth prince who was the son-in-law, just snorted coldly when he strode past Ji Qingchen, and walked away without saying a word to Ji Qingchen.

However, Han Peng and Zhang Mo, the envoys of Xishu and the Eastern Wilderness, came forward to congratulate him, saying that they were going to visit Ji Qingchen in the house, which made Ji Qingchen a little vigilant.

As for the Lingnan Mission, which was repeatedly bullied by Ji Qingchen, he had already left Qionglin Yuan angrily, and only a girl wearing Lingnan girl's clothes, bright and bright, about sixteen years old, looked at Ji Qingchen with complicated eyes when the Lingnan Mission left, leaving a very deep impression on Ji Qingchen.

He was named the king of Northern Liao, which was a surprise to Ji Qingchen himself, and he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, and he was secretly happy for a long time. It wasn't until the ministers left Qionglin Yuan one after another that he stabilized his mind, once again armed with a wolf blade, and let Zhang leave Qionglin Yuan and come to the Vermilion Bird Gate.

By this time, he had regained his composure. Think carefully about the scene when he was rewarded as the king of Northern Liao just now, half of the ministers in the hall spoke out to persuade Emperor Yan, and half of the ministers were silent. He knew that his current embarrassing position in the court, except for an ambiguous and occasionally supportive Jing Hou Bai Jin, there was no one to speak.

Ay! Sighing slightly, Ji Qingchen couldn't help but start thinking of his uncle! Thinking of this uncle who could change his current embarrassing position after arriving in King's Landing, he wondered what kind of person the uncle was?

Unconsciously, the two of them went out of the Suzaku Gate.

Then as soon as Ji Qingchen sat in the car, Zhang Rang whispered in his ear, "Your Highness, I found Jiang Rou's traces, she is in Jiang Kwai Fang tonight." ”

"Are you sure?" Hearing the news of Jiang Rou, Ji Qingchen, who was in deep thought, immediately retracted his thoughts and asked Zhang Rang.

"The slave is sure, this is news from Feng Tang." Zhang Rang said affirmatively. Obviously, Zhang still believes in the strength of Feng Tang, who raised his sword.

"Jiang Kwai Fong?" Ji Qingchen sneered, he didn't expect Jiang Rou to hide in the brothel, "Let's go, let's go to Jiang Kwai Fang now, let Feng Tang keep an eye on Jiang Rou, don't let him run away." ”

"No!" Zhang Rang led the order.
