Chapter 178: The Battle of the Three Kings (Part 1)

After talking to this grinding and chirping stone ball, the sky finally brightened, Chen Li did not feel sleepy, and began to wait for today's morning dynasty.

Not long after, a eunuch came to the courtyard and invited them into the Jinluan Palace.

After entering the hall, they found that the civil and military officials had already stood one after another, and they found a corner casually, and waited quietly.

Today's morning dynasty, the atmosphere is a little strange, among the hundred officials, all those who participated in the Hongmen banquet last night are full of deep faces, while the rest of the officials are all silent.

Although he hated this group of Tang envoys, the immortal skills of the people were there, and no one dared to jump out and say anything.

"The queen has arrived!"

With the eunuch's shout, the queen led the flat-chested princess into the Jinluan Palace.

Under normal circumstances, in the early dynasties of the Sai Kingdom, princesses and county lords were not allowed to go to the palace, but today's situation is obviously a little different.

The king died, and the queen became the temporary presiding officer.

After the queen boarded the dragon chair, the flat-chested princess stood aside, probably a little apprehensive in her heart, she searched in the palace for a while, and then saw Chen Li in a corner.

Chen Li smiled at her and signaled that she didn't need to be nervous.

"Queen Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

Hundreds of officials worship.

The queen nodded, "The Qing family is flat. ”

"Thank you, Queen!"

The voices of the hundred officials were loud, and they all got up in unison.

The queen raised her eyes and glanced around, and when her eyes fell on the Dongtu Datang and his party, she happened to meet the gaze of the demon monkey, her heart trembled, and she smiled bitterly.

Then he turned his head, looked at the civil and military officials, and said: "The unfortunate death of the king yesterday is really a matter of grief for the whole country of my sacrifice to the Saiguo, but in addition to the grief, I should still pack up my mood and cheer up again." ”

"As the saying goes, the country can't be without a king for a day, for the sake of my sacrifice to the country can be united, but also for the future of the country, so this palace thinks that our top priority is to elect a new king, what do you think?"

She looked around, sweeping over each official.

Most of the civil and military officials frowned and discussed in a low voice, and after a while, a civil official walked out of the queue and bowed down and said: "Queen, Your Majesty has just passed away, and the whole country has not yet done anything to mourn together, and now we have to elect the monarch, I'm afraid it's too hasty, right?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty's bones are not cold, and the urgency of the moment should be announced to the world first, and the whole country will mourn!"

Another civil servant came forward to second.

The queen watched quietly and did not speak, although these two were courtiers that the king valued quite a lot during his lifetime, their official positions were only four grades, and the right to speak was not yet to the point of importance.

"The queen, the last general thinks that the matter of the new monarch cannot be delayed, although I sacrifice to the country of the Western Regions, but there are many barbarians in the Quartet, and there is no shortage of jackals who want to swallow elephants like a snake's mouth, our country has lost the national treasure relics, and Your Majesty died unexpectedly, if you do not quickly elect a new monarch, I am afraid that those jackals will take advantage of our dragons to swallow elephants when they are leaderless."

A military general said in a loud voice.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister also seconded it!"

"The queen and the minister also think that the matter of the new monarch cannot be delayed!"

When a group of courtiers who proposed to mourn for the king first, when they saw General Wuwei, the imperial prince, the left and right ministers, and some princes who rushed back to the capital overnight, these powerful bigwigs of the government and the opposition supported the new monarch, and they instantly realized that the country was about to change.

The king had no children during his lifetime, but these powerful ministers were anxious to elect the king, and their wolf ambitions were self-evident.

The queen stretched out her hand, pressed down, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then smiled slightly: "Since most of the ministers support the election of a new monarch, may I ask, can the secretaries have the best candidate in their hearts?" ”

"This ......"

When the officials heard this, they began to discuss again.

After a while, a courtier who had already had a faction walked out of the queue and said loudly: "Queen, Weichen thinks that since there is no prince in this country, then this throne should be passed on to the prince, and among the princes, the minister thinks that the most qualified to be the king of the country should be the king of Guangping in Xiliang Road!" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"Wechen also seconded it!"

Several courtiers came out one after another to express their support for King Guangping of Xiliang Road.

King Guangping, who was standing in front of the hundred officials, did not speak, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was not concealed.

"The queen, the minister thinks that the king of Ding'an in southern Xinjiang is more qualified to be the monarch and lead us to sacrifice the subjects of the Sai country and become rich and strong!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

“……”

As several ministers spoke, another candidate for the monarch appeared, and the king of Ding'an in southern Xinjiang stood opposite the king of Guangping in Xiliang, and the two glanced at each other, their eyes full of hostility.

"Queen Yu, according to Weichen's view, the king of the northern people is the most suitable and capable person to lead the subjects of the sacrifice country, so the minister thinks that this monarch is the king of the people!"

"I support King Quang Binh!"

"No, the king of men!"

"Hmph, the king of Ding'an guards the northern frontier, and his contribution is huge, and he should be the king of Ding'an!"

The three princes who rushed back overnight in the court were instantly pushed to the forefront by everyone, and the courtiers of the three major factions argued endlessly, and the queen just watched quietly and did not stop it.

The court controversy is getting louder and louder, and the courtiers of the three major factions are fighting for red faces, if it weren't for the solemnity of this place, I am afraid that they would have to fight if they directly rolled up their sleeves.

But the strange thing is that the people who are fighting are all fourth- and fifth-grade officials, and even if there are occasionally one or two third-grade officials, they are just some officials who have empty titles and no substantive rights.

The three princes all had cloudy faces, and they didn't know who was the first to speak.

"Shut up all, Jinluan Palace, is it a noisy place?"

When everyone heard this, they immediately closed their mouths, but all of them were blushing and thick-necked, and they were angry.

After the court was quiet, the king of Ding'an in Northern Xinjiang, who was shouting, looked at the left minister of the current dynasty and said with a smile: "I don't know if there is a candidate in my heart?" ”

When Zuo Xiang heard this, his face was embarrassed, the first thing this prince rushed back last night was to visit some powerful ministers, and he was one of them.

"May I ask the Taishi, what do you think of this king?" King Guangping set his sights on the imperial master.

The king of the people sneered and said to General Wuwei: "General, may I ask who you think is the most qualified person for the position of monarch?" ”

The three princes kept asking the ministers with real power who they usually befriended, because they were the ones who knocked the hammer of the new monarch this time.

But for some reason, these ministers, who are good friends on weekdays, are silent on this matter.

This made the three princes who were bound to win the throne extremely distressed.

Just when everyone was in a dilemma, Chen Li, who was in the corner of the main hall, suddenly walked out, and then said to the three princes with angry faces: "What else is there to be King Guangwang An, that, I have a candidate in my heart, do you want to listen to it?" ”
