Chapter 136: The Court
"The lord of the kingdom has been in a coma for more than fifteen days. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info The so-called country cannot be without a monarch for a day, the edict of the lord of the country, if you are in a coma for a long time, Princess Xianni will temporarily take the position of the lord of the country, and regent the world!" "This is the edict of the lord of the country, what objections do you have?"
"Edict?!" Xia Qiu looked at the egret with a complicated expression, "Female regent, it's just nonsense! What are you kidding with me!"
Bai Lu smiled faintly, waved his hand, and the forbidden soldiers around him all stood ahead of the handle of their swords, "The forbidden army is here, don't you think I'm laughing?"
The threat of force above the court, even Xia Qiu can't do anything about it. Except for Bai Lu, who controlled the garrison of the royal capital, and Dai Nanxiao, who controlled the forbidden army, no one else came with troops.
The three kings do not want to force the palace by force, this is the last step, it will only happen as a last resort, and if this is the case, not only will it not be recognized by the righteousness, but it will also be opposed by the officials who support it.
Xia Qiu is not the lord of the country, he only won it, but he only let his father take the throne, even if he gets support, it has no obvious relationship with himself.
"Yes, very good. Xia Qiu looked at the egret coldly, "I didn't expect Lord Bai to make this choice." There are not many regret pills in this world, Lord Bai must not make mistakes!"
Listening to Xia Qiu's threat, the egret just smiled faintly. There was no change in expression. Now that summer and autumn can still occupy the general trend, it is just that the news has not yet arrived.
The egret glanced at Princess Xianni sitting on the throne beside her, the reincarnated Valkyrie was very calm, and quietly responded to give the egret a look. Egret nodded and continued to speak.
"In recent days, the lord of the country has been in danger, the situation is turbulent, and the people are not at peace. The sky is pitiful, Princess Xianni is favored by the king, and with the body of a woman, supplemented by governing the country, she will help the building to fall. Bai Lu glanced at Xia Qiu, "If there is no dispute among the officials, Her Royal Highness the princess will take the position of regent and order the world!"
"Hmph. Xia Qiu sneered and didn't talk. But this cold snort was clearly to ask its civil and military forces to speak.
The court discussion itself is a situation of argumentation by hundreds of officials. At present, Princess Xianni is regent, which in itself is an unprecedented situation, even if the officials behind Xia Qiu have plans to speak, most of them are ready to say how the king of Zhennan is, and he deserves the orthodox position, but now that this situation is sudden, where are everyone prepared?
Or Prime Minister Lu reacted relatively quickly, this person had already been involved with Xia Qiu's side before, so he naturally opened his mouth in the direction of King Zhennan.
"Women's regent, this matter is unprecedented. In the midst of the country's illness, it is difficult for the edict to remain biased. And in my Xia Kingdom, the royal family still has meritocracy, how can I decide on the regents so hastily?
"Isn't it proper?" Bai Lu sneered, "Prime Minister Lu, Princess Xianni has been reading poetry and books since she was a child, and she has taken care of the illness of the lord of the country at the age of twelve, and she has been here for five years. During the period, the regent's policy and the credentials to be approved were all approved by the lord of the state. Moreover, Her Royal Highness the princess is the prince of the country, and the royal family is of pure blood, and although she is a woman, she has lofty ambitions and is not inferior to men. Regent of the world, naturally!"
"Where is this logical?!" Prime Minister Lu Cheng's face froze, and he was a little indignant. "The lord of the country has made this decision, can he discuss with the hundred officials, civil and military? The position of the lord of the country, may it be so easy to decide the successor? Lord Bai should not use the edict to oppress people, and the unification of the country is the beginning of the chaos of the country!"
"Oh, then, what decision does the lord of the country make, and it can only be issued through consultation with your prime minister?, why don't I remember that there is such a rule in the court of the Xia Kingdom?" The absolute power of this lord of the country is to make a promise. Discuss in advance, that's the way of inquiry, this thing is an unspoken rule, how can it be a rule.
Prime Minister Lu was stunned, he was a businessman himself, and he was not good at court disputes, in his imagination, shouldn't he be the most powerful and supported the most to sit on the throne of the country? But now this situation is completely beyond his own expectations, and he feels speechless.
"Clever words. A civil official behind Xia Qiu couldn't stand it anymore, and took a step forward, "According to Lord Bai's meaning, that is, the edict of the lord of the country, and it must not be violated? Isn't that a statement of your kind to trap the king in injustice?"
"The lord of the country is naturally a virtuous monarch. The egret smiled, "You said that this edict was not discussed, and there was no question, but you didn't know." But not everyone is like you. Among these hundred officials, the ministers who have not engaged in their own small circle and are loyal and righteous are all clear. ”
The egret turned his face and amplified his voice, and asked, "General Wu Rate, can this edict be asked to you and others?"
Above the court, the voice of the egret resounded in every corner.
Belonging to the northern land and the royal capital, the generals in some parts of the Central Plains immediately replied loudly. "Ask questions, no objections!"
This military general includes the Northland Legion on the side of the Fire Phoenix Army, the subordinates of King Hanyu, and all the generals in the land under King Xuan, and the number is twice as many as that of Xia Qiu's side, and this answer is shocking.
Then, the egret asked again: "Wenqu Xianguan, can you ask you and others for this edict?"
At this time, except for a few civil officials behind Xia Qiu, almost all the civil officials opened their mouths to answer, "There is no objection to the question!"
The egret turned his head again and looked at the civil official of the Zhennan King who asked just now, the guy was already pale, and his lips trembled.
"How? Dare you say that you didn't ask about this policy? It's just that you're not qualified to participate. ”
As soon as these words came out, the civil officials around them snickered, and the blow to the face made a crackling sound, and even Xia Qiu's face became ugly.
"Very good. Xia Qiu said coldly, "Lord Bai, this is your reliance? The two beam-jumping clowns joined forces, and they thought they could compete with me? Okay, this proposal is passed? I want to see how long Xianni can be regented with your support!"
When he said this, the hearts of the civil and military forces present were cold. Unexpectedly, Egret forced Xia Qiu so badly, it seems that this little prince didn't expect to suffer such a setback today, and he was already a little angry. Saying that, Xia Qiu turned around and was about to walk towards the outside of the court, once this person went out of the court, I am afraid that there will be civil strife in Xia next. The king of Zhennan will definitely not hesitate to coerce by force, even if he is not sure of the forces of the Shanghuo Phoenix Army and the two kings, the king of Zhennan will probably fight to the death.
The forbidden army was also standing in front at this moment, drawing his sword and standing in front of Xia Qiu.
"What, you want to stop me?" Xia Qiu didn't look at the forbidden army in front of him, but turned his head to look at Bai Lu's eyes fixedly, and the general of Zhennan Wang who followed him was angry, and his hand was also on the hilt of the sword he was carrying.
The two sides are at a stalemate, and the situation has taken a turn for the worse. Suddenly, a horse outside the hall suddenly rushed in the direction of the court, this is the cavalry coming in from outside the hall, with a flag behind it. But it was a 100,000 urgent herald of the Xia Kingdom!
He shouted, galloping his horse.
"Urgent report! Chu State invaded the border! Chu State invaded the border! The seven counties of Zhennan were lost! Nearly 10,000 soldiers died!"
Xia Qiu suddenly turned his head to look, his face was as pale as dirt, and his eyes were almost out of his sockets!
"This can't be!!"
