Chapter 321: The Imperial Meeting
Early morning!
There was a light rain in Xia Yu City today, and it was pouring down non-stop, washing away the faint smell of blood over the city, and also washing away the lead all over the city.
Before the arrival of the day, the Rongwei Hall of the Great Xia King's Palace was full of people, and almost all the civil and military generals of the Great Xia Kingdom who were qualified to enter this hall came. This court meeting was convened by Su Ruoxue's decree, and the will was clearly written, and it will not be used in the future if you don't come this time.
What Su Ruoxue said in the royal tomb was only heard by some important ministers, and she didn't say it thoroughly. So many people don't know what she means, but she is going to show up today, and her thoughts will definitely be announced later, and the Great Xia Kingdom may also have a new king after this court meeting.
So at this moment, the hall is very lively, countless civil officials are talking about each other, and their faces are all dignified. The Great Xia Kingdom suffered a heavy blow and many people died, but not a single civil official in Xia Yu City died, so there were hundreds of people standing in the court, and two-thirds of them were civil officials.
Old General Lu looked at the groups of civil officials gathered together according to their ranks, and his face showed a trace of worry, when these civil officials were fighting, when the Great Xia Kingdom was about to fall, they were all so frightened that their faces turned pale, their bodies trembled, and they couldn't stop worrying. At this moment, as soon as he settled down, he was full of official authority, judging his dignity, and pointing out the country, he kept sighing.
Of course, he doesn't look down on civilian officials in his heart, military generals fight to protect the country, if you want to govern the country, you still have to rely on these civil officials, those military generals are all reckless men, many big characters don't know a single one, if they want to govern, the world will be in chaos.
"Master Jiang has arrived!"
A voice that was neither yin nor yang came, and a cyan figure strode from the passage in front of the main hall, he was wearing a simple green robe, which looked a little nondescript on such a solemn and formal occasion. After he walked in, he glanced at everyone's faces lightly, and suddenly beckoned: "Father-in-law Liu, go and move a chair for me." ”
"Wow!"
As soon as Jiang Yi's words fell, there was an uproar in the court, Jiang Yi was already very unruly dressed like this, and now he actually had to move a chair to sit down? Without the king's order to sit, this hall could only stand except for the king, and Jiang Yi did not have any official position in the Great Xia Kingdom, so it was too impolite.
Gonggong Liu, one of the chief eunuchs, was a little embarrassed, and set his eyes on a white-haired official, who looked at the civil official behind him with a slight sideways face, and an official of the Ministry of Rites immediately walked out and arched his hand towards Jiang Yi: "This lord, except for His Majesty, you can't sit down in this court except for Your Majesty, you ...... It's not proper. ”
Old General Lu glanced at Jiang Yi and didn't speak, but the corners of his mouth showed a hint of mockery. Jiang Yi touched his nose, glanced at this person casually, and said lightly: "This official is the inspector of the Qinglong Dynasty, and he is higher than the lord of your Great Xia Kingdom according to his rank, why can't I sit? According to the etiquette system of the dynasty, you have to kneel when you see this official, why don't you kneel?"
"Uh......"
The official of the Ministry of Rites was dumbfounded, he reasoned with Jiang Yi, but Jiang Yi played hooligan, and let it refute it wordlessly.
Jiang Yi is indeed the inspector of the Qinglong Dynasty, according to the imperial etiquette system, the lord of the country has to salute when he sees him, the problem is... Jiang Yi killed the people of the Qinglong Dynasty not long ago, and the ancestor of the Qinglong Dynasty also wanted to kill him, and he dared to claim to be the inspector of the Dynasty?
It's just that the Qinglong Dynasty did not announce the dismissal of Jiang Yi from the post of inspector, and the civil officials of the Ministry of Rites are not easy to refute, so they can only set their eyes on the two leaders of the civil officials, Yu An and Ren Ping, who are scholars in the cabinet.
To everyone's surprise, neither of them spoke, probably not wanting to offend Jiang Yi in such a trivial matter. After all, the two princes were taken down by Jiang Yi last night, how can this be said to be the benefactor of the Great Xia Kingdom, and the two of them are embarrassed to come forward at this point.
Gonggong Liu waved his hand, and the two little eunuchs quickly went to move a princess chair, Jiang Yi sat down generously, ignoring everyone's eyes and taking a nap.
There was more discussion on the civil official's side, but the words were a little smaller, looking at Jiang Yi's eyes were both fear and respect, of course, there were some unpleasantness, Jiang Yi was too crazy, making them a little uncomfortable on face, literati are the most particular about etiquette and face.
"Snow Princess has arrived!"
It didn't take long for Gonggong Liu's report to sound again, and the civil and military generals below hurriedly didn't dare to say more, and stood upright. After Su Ruoxue walked in, they all bent down to salute, Su Ruoxue was just a princess, and the lord of the country could not come in at this court meeting, but at this moment, everyone bent down to salute her, which was already a very heavy salute.
"All the ministers are flat!"
Su Ruoxue was wearing a phoenix robe, wearing a phoenix crown, dressed to attend, majestic, and dazzlingly beautiful, she flicked her sleeves and said lightly, and then actually stepped on the lotus step, step by step towards the throne on the purple gold platform, and finally sat down directly.
"Wow!"
Although it is rumored that Su Ruoxue wants to dominate the throne and proclaim herself queen, at this moment all the civil officials are a little unacceptable. In the tens of thousands of years of history of the Celestial Star Continent, there has never been a queen. Even if the emperor of the Qinglong Dynasty died, Princess Ling Xue held great power, and she didn't dare to claim the title of emperor without authorization, Su Ruoxue was so domineering that she sat directly in that position?
At that moment, the official of the Ministry of Rites who spoke just now immediately took two steps forward, and said with a face full of indignation: "Princess Ruoxue, are you sitting in the wrong position? It's a big rebellion!"
Another civil official also walked out and said generously: "Your Royal Highness Princess, please get up immediately, otherwise you are blaspheming the previous king, and you should be beheaded according to the law!"
Someone took the lead, countless civil officials came out, some knelt on the ground, some reprimanded loudly, some wailed, all of them were indignant, as if Su Ruoxue had committed a heinous crime.
General Lu and the others sighed heavily, they had long known that this group of rotten sour men would oppose it, but they didn't expect such a big reaction.
He glanced at several generals, and then at Jiang Yi, who seemed to be asleep with squinted eyes, and had no choice but to bow his hand and say, "Ladies and gentlemen, you are wrong! Her Royal Highness the princess is willing to go out of the mountain after kneeling and begging many times." Eight generals and I jointly wrote a letter last night, asking Her Highness Ruoxue to ascend the throne as king, and she has agreed! She will be the future king of our Great Xia Kingdom, why can't she sit in this position?"
"Humph!"
Before General Lu finished speaking, a heavy cold snort sounded, and Scholar Ren, who had not spoken, suddenly took two steps towards the middle, stretched out a finger and pointed at General Lu and scolded: "Lu Guangyi, you old horseman shut up for me! What a big deal is the new king's accession to the throne? This concerns all the people of the world, and you actually act so hastily? You also support a princess to ascend the throne? Do you want the people of the world to laugh at our Daxia Kingdom? May I ask if there have been hundreds of thousands of women in the Tianxing Continent to inherit the great unification? As the old saying goes, if the name is not correct, the words are not good, and all the people in the world do not return to their hearts, how can they rule the people? The world is uneasy, the society is in turmoil, and the Great Xia Kingdom is in danger, and you are also destined to become sinners in the Great Xia Kingdom, leaving a stench for 10,000 years......
"Scholar Ren is right!"
Another old bachelor also spoke up, his face was full of indignation, and his old body trembled with anger, he wiped a handful of tears, and wept bitterly: "Ancestor King, have you ever seen that as soon as you leave the Great Xia Kingdom, it will be chaotic, and the old minister should follow you......"
"Since you want to die, go and die!"
Just when General Lu and the others were completely at a loss, Jiang Yi, who had been closing his eyes, suddenly spoke.
His eyes also opened, like a tiger showing its fangs, his gaze swept towards all the civil officials like a knife, and the invisible murderous aura on his body was released, making the audience feel cold like an ice cellar, many civil officials immediately closed their mouths, and their eyes swept towards Jiang Yi in horror.
He stood up slowly, walked to the center of the hall, and said in a cold voice: "Support Ruoxue to stand on the right side of the country, don't support me get out, who dares to chirp crookedly, this inspector doesn't mind... Send him to follow the king!"
