Xuanzheng Hall is the second hall in the city of Daqian Palace, second only to Chaoyuan Palace.

In addition to the court meeting, the rest of the time is held, and the civil and military officials are all discussing here.

Compared with the big court meeting, the scale of today's court meeting is much smaller, and only officials above the fifth rank in the capital are eligible to participate, and many generals in the border army also rushed to participate.

The scale of this meeting was much larger than in the past, with nearly 300 officials, big and small.

However, this is still a bit rare compared to the vast Xuanzheng Palace.

Hundreds of civil and military officials walked into the Xuanzheng Hall one after another, the Son of Heaven died, and the dragon chair was empty.

Empress Xu took the prince to sit under the dragon chair to listen to the government, under normal circumstances, of course, she couldn't be here, at most she only let the prince come.

However, the Son of Heaven died, the prince was young, although she had not yet been crowned the queen mother, but it was not too much to take the prince to listen to the government, at least according to the big cadre system, this is definitely not counted.

Chen Mo was heavily armored and holding a blade, standing beside Empress Xu.

He didn't actually have to do this, the reason why he did so was just to show a signal that he absolutely supported the crown prince and the queen.

Many officials also behaved differently when they saw him, with a smile on their faces, some of them were happy, some were slightly surprised, and some were worried and did not dare to look at Chen Mo.

Hundreds of civil and military officials went to court, and each stood in turn.

The last to enter was the king of Pingxi and many generals in the border army.

King Pingxi is still the same as before, wearing a dark python robe, holding his head high, his eyes sharp, and stepping into the palace.

This time, he kept staring at Chen Mo tightly, undisguised his gaze.

Chen Mo always felt that something was wrong, if he said that the King of Pingxi he saw some time ago, he only vaguely revealed an inhuman atmosphere.

Then this breath is much more obvious now, there is nothing strange on the surface, but there is always something strange on the inside.

This breath may belong to anything, but not to people.

Even just by feeling this aura, Chen Mo instinctively resisted it, wanted to stay away, wanted to kill it.

Chen Mo's eyes swirled, and he began to look at King Pingxi carefully, but simply looking, no matter how he looked at it, he was very normal, and there was not too much weirdness.

It's just that the aura exuding from his heart is absolutely wrong, there must be something wrong with King Pingxi, and it is possible that in order to increase his strength, he has practiced some evil methods.

The so-called evil method refers to some more evil exercises, which require some harsh things to start practicing, such as the essence of human energy.

Martial artists who practice this kind of evil method are naturally out-and-out demon path martial artists, and even among the demon path martial artists, they belong to the lowest group of indiscriminate ones.

This is because this kind of exercise tends to influence the practitioner and makes it easy for his emotions to become extreme.

But there is no doubt that the advantage of this kind of exercise is that the cultivation is fast enough, which allows the martial artist to break through the current realm faster.

In addition to practicing evil methods, Chen Mo also had an inference that King Pingxi might have been affected by something in the mirage or ruins.

But as an innate powerhouse, it is not so easy for the things in the mirage to influence King Pingxi.

Even if it affected him, he would have been able to perceive it, far more clearly than he could have perceived.

In the current situation, it is very likely that he took the initiative to accept those things and merge with himself.

Compared with the mirage, the king of Pingxi is more likely to cooperate with the special creatures in the ruins area.

Although the ruins are strange, there are established rules in them, and as long as they are not violated, then they are safe.

Some of the ruins that have discovered the rules are even no less than a small cave blessed land to a certain extent, and there are indeed some things in them that can provide benefits for martial artists.

The mirage is too dangerous, everything is chaotic, and there is no way to touch half the law.

"Weichen meets the queen mother, and meets His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Today's prime minister Zuoqiu Bei, leading hundreds of civil and military officials to bow down.

King Pingxi and many border army generals also bowed down.

Even if he wants to seek power and usurp the throne, he still hasn't torn his face at this moment, and he still has to abide by many etiquette rules.

In the final analysis, it was because of Chen Mo's appearance that he could no longer do whatever he wanted.

Otherwise, if Chen Mo doesn't show up, I'm afraid that the whole cadre will at least fall into a small-scale turmoil, not to mention that the whole cadre will be in a mess now.

"Everyone, please get up!" Empress Xu smiled and spoke softly.

Immediately afterwards, there were people in the palace who loudly passed the order.

"The minister has the right to play." The Ministry of Rites Shangshu stepped forward and spoke.

"The country cannot be left unin power for a day, and now that His Majesty has died, according to the ancestral system, the crown prince should be temporarily in charge of the court. After the state funeral, the Ministry of Rites held an enthronement ceremony, granted amnesty to the world, and welcomed the new emperor to the throne. ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu spoke, as one of the six Shangshu, although he was born in a big family, he was not the main line, but only a side lineage.

It was promoted by His Majesty today that he had such an achievement, so among the six Shangshu, he was the most loyal to the Son of Heaven.

"The prince is young and can't make a decision yet, so I don't think there is a need to be so anxious about this matter." A waiter from the Ministry of Works stood up and said.

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu seemed to have anticipated this situation, and glanced at the waiter, but did not say much.

Hundreds of civil and military officials, except for a small number of people who were co-opted by the king of Pingxi, Xu Yili, and some of them were loyal to the court and loyal to the Son of Heaven.

The vast majority of officials are wall-ridden factions, and as long as their interests are not moved, they will not care about the fights between the royal families.

Whether it is the new emperor ascending the throne and controlling the power of the court, or the king of Pingxi really seeking power and usurping the throne and supporting the three princes to the throne.

No matter what, they still have to be used to govern the world, and they represent the interests of many families of the great cadres.

The so-called royal family, in fact, is just a stronger family, and if you want to govern the world, you must give power to the family to a certain extent.

The situation of Daqian is already good, and the situation of Dali is even worse, and the appointment of local officials by the Son of Heaven sometimes depends on the face of the family.

This is also why the Dali royal family is willing to negotiate peace with the great cadres, because if they don't negotiate peace and continue to let the family control the military power, I am afraid that it will not be long before the decree of the Son of Heaven will not even be issued in the capital.

"The court is empty, and there is no one to take charge of political affairs, shouldn't this be in a hurry? Even if the crown prince is young, he can first ask the queen to listen to the government and take power. The Ministry of Rites retorted loudly.

"The prince is reckless and does not know how to advance or retreat, and it is rumored that he is even more brutal by nature, and it is difficult for me to take on a big responsibility. Even His Majesty did not leave an edict to pass on to him, which shows that His Majesty did not like it.

Although the three princes are young, they have both ability and political integrity, and they are gentle and frugal with the style of the kings of the ancients. ”

A doctor of the imperial history took the initiative to stand up and propose.

What he said was purely slander, if they really wanted to abolish the prince, then they could easily weave a bunch of accusations against the prince.

As soon as his words fell, many people responded, and naturally many people objected, and the court suddenly became a mess.

Chen Mo didn't speak, just silently looked at the situation in the court.

King Pingxi was the same, he even smiled at Chen Mo.

"What is the purpose of supporting the Three Princes? Don't the princes of Gon know?

The heart of Zhao Huaifeng, the king of Pingxi, even the people of the capital know that the princes of Gonggong are still pretending to be stupid here! ”

The Ministry of Rites shoshu threw the wat (hu) board in his hand to the ground suddenly, and shouted angrily!

The jade wat board fell apart, and the entire hall instantly fell silent.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu no longer spoke, but kept glaring at King Pingxi angrily.

After saying this, he didn't plan to live, he was even thinking that King Pingxi had better kill himself directly.

In this way, if you stay in the history books, you will have a great name, and the kings of all dynasties will want loyal ministers like you.

"Don't quarrel again, how about discussing today's matter another day?" Chen Mo said in a deep voice.

He had seen the situation in the court clearly, and he had not made a move before, just to see how many officials would be on the side of King Pingxi.

When he turned around and cleaned the court, he could settle these people together and make room for other loyal ministers and good generals.

The number of flatbreads is limited, and if you want to eat two more pieces, you have to grab them from others.

Now that you have seen it clearly, then you can consider making a move.

Although judging from the current situation, waiting slowly by yourself has the greatest advantage for yourself.

But King Pingxi will never sit still, and the more he ends, the more radical he may become.

The phrase "strike first" has always been regarded as a guideline by Chen Mo.

Instead of being passive in the Miyagi City, it is better to find an opportunity to take action and solve all the problems.

Even if he is not the opponent of King Pingxi, it doesn't matter, first find a way to probe his strength.

What's more, according to the information found by the Sky Survey Guard, King Pingxi is only a congenital triple, and there is a realm gap with himself, but it is not that big.

In addition, he has never practiced external skills, and his physical qi and blood strength is by no means strong, and it is difficult to say who has the advantage when he turns around and really fights.

Hearing Chen Mo speak, many officials stopped arguing at the moment, and some glanced at King Pingxi, seeing that he didn't have any opinions, they also shut up at the moment.

"There is a book, but there is no book!" The palace servant stood up again and shouted.

Next, there are really some courtiers who have normal discussions, and Queen Xu was born into a big family, but she also has some skills and can handle these things roughly.

After discussing political affairs, the hundred officials dispersed one after another, and Empress Xu was ready to return to the Taimiao with the crown prince.

"Queen Mother, as the old saying goes, Yun strikes first, and in the opinion of the ministers, we should strike first at the moment.

The minister's combat power is not weaker than that of the king of Pingxi, and if he can be killed, then all problems will be solved. ”

On the way back to the Taimiao, Chen Mo came to Queen Xu's side and said in a low voice.

"Ahh Empress Xu was stunned for a moment, her expression slightly hesitant and worried.

Of course, she understands the principle of striking first, but Chen Mo is the only talisman for their mother and son now, and she really doesn't want Chen Mo to leave her side.

Sometimes when she was guarding the spirit of the Son of Heaven in the Taimiao, when she was about to fall asleep, she had to find a way to make sure that Chen Mo was not far away before she could sleep peacefully.

"Niangniang don't worry, there are still innate powerhouses who are loyal to the court in the capital, but that senior now wants to help the rest of the innate powerhouses heal, and now they are in Wanfa Building, and they can't move around easily, but they can make a move.

You and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you can go to the Wanfa Building to rest first, and wait for Weichen to solve all the problems. ”

Chen Mo continued to speak, dispelling her worries.

"The courtier's wife will also go with you, and you can also find some female officials to accompany you, but don't be too quiet."

Chen Mo continued to speak, and if he turned around and fought with Zhao Huaifeng, the king of Pingxi, then the safest place in the entire capital would undoubtedly be Wanfa Tower.

Let Zhao Yu stay there in advance, and he can rest assured.

Hearing Chen Mo say this, Queen Xu suddenly felt a lot more relieved, since Chen Mo let his wife go there too, it means that it must be safe there.

"Okay, everything is up to General Chen." She smiled and nodded.

At that moment, everything moved quickly, and soon Zhao Yu, Empress Xu and the crown prince and two female officials stepped into the Wanfa Building together.
