The news that Qing Ming drew his sword and did not come out spread far and wide, and Prime Minister Yunsheng immediately summoned the important ministers of the court and quickly rushed to the collegial panel. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The people in Yuesheng Cave had no choice but to return to the royal city first and then take care of it.

On the way back to the city, I saw a man in a navy blue robe from a distance, with two servants, coming towards each other, dismounted at a distance, and stood on the side of the road waiting.

Walking to the front, the man standing on the side of the road stroked his two eye-catching mustaches, clasped his fists and saluted, and said to the princes on the horse: "Meet the king of Qingyuan and the king of Qingzhe! My father asked me to pass the word that Prime Minister Yunsheng had gathered all the ministers of the court, and had been waiting for you in the collegial panel for a long time, and asked the princes to go as soon as possible, saying that they had important matters to discuss. ”

Qing Yuan and Qing Zhe looked at each other, and their expressions seemed to say, "What should come is always coming!" So, everyone changed directions and continued to gallop towards the collegial panel.

General Watari told Qing Ming softly: "Your Royal Highness, the man who reported the news on the side of the road just now is the eldest son of Hubu Shangshu Yunhui, named Yun Shi, and the elder brother of your Jucai Tang classmate Yun Chuan. He is a rare elite among the younger generation of the Iron Clan, and at a young age, he has become a formal soul refiner! I am only one year younger than him, but I have participated in many soul refiner selections, but I have not succeeded, but he was easily recognized by the elders many years ago! It is said that in the entire history of the Great Subject Country, he can also be called the youngest soul refiner!"

In his words, General Watatsu admired the mustachioed brother a lot.

The collegial court, built on the outside of the main entrance of the bronze king's palace in the royal city, has a row of huge pillars outside the court, conveying the majesty and power of this building to people. The Bronze King's Palace has been vacant for 18 years, and over the years, everyone has recognized that the center of court decision-making is the collegial court. On the central platform of the court, there are three large bronze chairs, and under the high platform are placed smaller seats, all made of shiny bronze, and the seats enclose the central platform, enclosing the ground, like ripples stirred up in the water.

General Watari told Qing Ming: "The central high platform is the position of the three elders, don't sit in the wrong position for His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Qing Ming nodded hurriedly.

When I looked closely, I saw that the collegial panel was already full of people, but it was silent, and a tense and serious atmosphere echoed in the air. King Qingyuan and King Qingzhe sat on the two chairs at the bottom of the high platform, Zhong Quan sat under Prime Minister Yunsheng, and the rest of the people sat down according to their positions, and the guards brought a chair and placed it behind King Qingzhe, and King Qingzhen motioned for Qingming to sit down.

Qing Ming saw that Princess Qinghui and King Qinglun were also here, as well as the second general of the research and Du Sheng, who were slightly lower, and the prime minister's head was also full except for Zhong Quan, all of whom were dressed as civil officials, but Qing Ming didn't know him very well.

Yun Sheng stood up, arched his hand to King Qingyuan and King Qingzhe, who had just sat down, and said slowly: "The old man heard that the two princes took Prince Qingming to Tianyuan Mountain Yuesheng Cave to test their swords. This matter is related to the national fortune society, and we were not able to witness it in person, so we are really entrusted by the mandate of heaven, ashamed, ashamed!"

King Qingyuan also arched his hand in return, and then, he stood up, waved his big hand to the back of the collegial court, and said awe-inspiringly: "The palace of the Bronze King of my great subject country has been closed for a full eighteen years, which can be described as a long time of vacancy! According to the laws handed down from ancient times, the soul of the Bronze King will definitely be passed on to a certain descendant of the Bronze Clan. Now, the descendants who have reached the age of eighteen have failed to succeed in the sword test, and only Ming'er is left. In order to prevent the soul of the Bronze King from being damaged, it is led by this king, although the three elders and the ministers are not present, but we go to the Yuesheng Cave and just try the sword, which may not be inappropriate. ”

Prime Minister Yunsheng stopped talking, and after sitting back in his seat, he stood still, with a calm expression on his face.

An old man in the seat stood up and said in a heart-wrenching voice: "King Qingyuan was ordered to garrison the Yuesheng Cave to defend the Yuesheng Sword, and he is the eldest son of the previous Bronze King. However, at the beginning of the founding of the country, the establishment of the country by the mandate of heaven, and the participation of each potential successor of the soul of the Bronze King in the sword test were held under the witness of the elders of the Bronze Clan and hundreds of civil and military officials. In this ceremony, there are neither elders present nor hundreds of officials to witness, I am afraid that it is unreasonable and contrary to the mandate of heaven!"

He gave full play to his opinions, and Prime Minister Yunsheng kept smiling slightly, neither expressing his position nor speaking.

Hearing this, Princess Qinghui stood up and said slowly in a gentle but somewhat majestic voice: "Yun Huishangshu's words are too much. The Yuesheng Sword is an ancient spirit sword that is integrated into the soul of the Bronze King, if it is not the inheritor of the king's soul, it can't be pulled out, try it, if you can't pull it out, forget it, why violate the mandate of heaven?"

As she spoke, she turned to Zhong Quan and another civil official under Yun Hui, and said, "Zhong Quan Shangshu, Ming Su Shangshu, what do you say?"

Zhong Quan is a direct participant in the sword test, his position has been clearly placed, there is no need to make a special statement, he didn't rush to speak out at the moment, only listened to Ming Su said hesitantly: "This, this, although our Ministry of Rites is responsible for national etiquette matters, but such a major event as the Bronze King Throne, we, we dare not trespass!"

It turned out that he was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and after finishing speaking, he squinted at Yun Sheng, then lowered his head, his eyes flickered, and he stopped speaking.

Zhong Quan coughed twice, stood up, arched his hand to the sky, and said loudly: "The throne of the Bronze King of my major subject country has been missing for a long time, according to the law of the Mandate of Heaven, now, it has reached the node of the younger generation of Bronze King, Weichen believes that we should find out where the Bronze King's true body is, and return the government to the king!"

The corners of Yun Hui's mouth turned to the side, and she said gloomily: "Zhong Laoshangshu means this, but our prime minister controls the government and refuses to return the government to the king?"

Zhong Quan waved his hand: "Old decay is not this intention, just a matter of facts! The heir of the soul of the Bronze King, at present, can only be Prince Qingming, Prince Qingming's soul has been lost in the foreign world for many years, and now the soul of the Bronze King cannot be united, which is greatly damaged in his skills, and it is harmful to the country and the people!"

Prime Minister Yun Sheng stood up unhurriedly, patted Yun Hui's shoulder gently, smiled slightly, and said, "Yun Hui Shangshu has said it. When the old bronze king died, he told his subordinates to preside over the affairs of the family and the country, over the years, the affairs of the army were the two bothered by the king of Qingyuan and the king of Qingzhe, and the old body just dealt with the trivial matters of internal affairs according to the instructions of the previous king, how to hold on to it?"

After speaking, he glanced around in the collegial panel and said to King Qingyuan: "There are rumors among the people that the court of our great subject country is not united, which is really nonsense! The two princes and their subordinates have been conscientious and dedicated to their duties for more than ten years, otherwise, where would there be the scene of the prosperity of our great subject country today?"

He paused for a moment, then asked, "Rumors and nonsense, leave it alone for the time being." Let's ask the two princes, what is the result of Prince Qingming's sword test?"

King Qingyuan looked at Qing Ming, bowed his hand to Yun Sheng Xiangguo, and said with a slight pleading tone in his tone: "Yue Sheng's sword has returned, but it has not been complete. Now it has been put back in its original position in Yuesheng Cave, and the king has ordered someone to keep it properly. However, although he did not pull it all out, he was able to pull the hilt out of the scabbard, which has proved that Ming'er is the inheritor of the Bronze King's soul. It is also hoped that Xiangguo will preside over the overall situation and let the bronze king take the throne as soon as possible. ”

Yun Sheng stroked the snow-white long beard under his chin, and said with a smile: "If you pull it out and return, you can't pull it out, the Mandate of Heaven ancestral system, how can the old man be able to preside over it!"

King Qingyuan's face was embarrassed, so he had to reluctantly restrain himself and asked: "But now that Ming'er has a headache and sees that the Bronze King's soul is damaged, according to the Prime Minister's words, what should be done?"

Seeing that King Qingyuan had already put down his posture, Yun Sheng was quite satisfied, but his face showed embarrassment, and said: "It's okay to say that the witness of the hundred officials is good, although the old man can't respond to all calls, it's okay to summon it." However, firstly, none of the elders were present, and secondly, not long after Prince Qingming woke up, none of the martial arts and divine skills in my Xuantian Dao had been practiced and cultivated, and if he didn't draw his sword this time, I am afraid it would mean that the time had not yet come! If it was because of insufficient skills, it would be difficult to do. I'm afraid that the whole of the big subject countries can only wait. ”

King Qingyuan knew that the other party intended to delay, and if he delayed for a day, the power would be in the hands of the other party for a day, but the most important thing for today was that the soul of the Bronze King was incomplete, and if he continued to wear it down, he was afraid that it would be seriously damaged, and the consequences would be unimaginable, Qingming would suffer from a headache because of this, and the more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, and King Qingyuan was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Because King Qingzhen was Qing Ming's biological father, it was inconvenient for him to say much for his son in the collegial panel, so at this moment, he had to remind King Qingyuan softly: "Brother Wang, you sent Kun'er to Dingyuan Mountain to invite the three elders out of the mountain, how is the progress?"

King Qingyuan was stunned, shook his head and said, "Kun'er has been gone for a few days and has not yet returned, and I don't know the current situation!"

Yun Sheng saw that the overall situation was already under his expectation and control, so he decided not to hide it anymore, took a step forward, and said loudly: "The matter has come to this point, the old man has a suggestion, I might as well say it, please discuss it with all of you." ”

The hall was suddenly silent, and even everyone's breathing was suppressed, for fear of missing a word, and if an embroidery needle fell to the ground, I am afraid that it could be heard.

Yun Sheng paused, saw the silence all around, and knew that the time had come, so he continued unhurriedly: "On the side of the three elders, since Prince Qingkun has gone to invite you, you might as well wait for the news, and the news will be clear when it comes back." On the side of Prince Qingming, when he continued to practice in the Jucai Hall, if it was really the soul carrier of the Bronze King of my great country, it would be easy for His Royal Highness the Prince to learn martial arts. In order to serve the expectations of the public, in order to plug the mouth of the world, the old man proposed that before the formal sword drawing ceremony, Prince Qingming must study the Bronze King's royal magic skills, at least one set, and perform in public, after the drill is successful, the old man must be willing to cooperate with the hundred officials, come to the sword drawing ceremony, and cheer for the new king!"

The hundred officials nodded in agreement, and the brothers and sisters of King Qingyuan looked at each other, and finally, Princess Qinghui got up and responded: "Since Prince Qingming is a candidate for succession, if he does not obey the public, how can he govern the world?

King Qingyuan still wanted to speak, but Princess Qinghui smiled at him and whispered: "Brother Wang, the situation is compelling, and I hope to be patient." ”

Yun Sheng arched his hand to the princess with satisfaction and said, "The old man has made a word, and the horse is difficult to chase!"

This is considered a matter of time. The people in the court dispersed.

Returning to Qingzhe Palace, Princess Qingzhe hurriedly used her secret Guben soup to regulate Qingming, because the headache worsened, the princess increased the dose for him.

After taking the decoction, Qingming felt comfortable physically and mentally.

Thinking about it, he felt that during this period of time, his body was not bad, maybe it was because he was getting more and more adapted to the surrounding environment, since he returned to Xuantian Dao, in addition to headaches, in fact, his physical strength was getting better and better day by day, and he became more and more confident, and even his voice was much louder, a bit like the feeling he felt from him when he first saw King Qingzhe.

However, thinking of the Bronze King's Imperial Divine Skill proposed by Prime Minister Yunsheng, Qing Ming suddenly felt pressure, and couldn't help but sigh, and the person also wilted.
