These words undoubtedly shocked everyone present.

Guo Xinyuan, Lu Wenzhong and others looked at Li Qi who was kneeling on the ground at the moment - although this person has no background background, but because of his fuss, he is very prestigious in the hearts of students all over the world, and even has the reputation of a grandmaster in the literary world.

Many Confucian students believe that in time, Li Qi will surely become a generation of great Confucians, and his name will be recorded in history.

But right now, right here—

Everyone in the literary world, who is revered and looked up to by countless students in the world, actually knelt down in front of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and knelt down in front of the martial artists of the DPRK and China who the students have always looked down on.

And it was said that it was high-sounding, and there was no half-blushing.

That's really ......

Guo Xinyuan and the others were dumbfounded, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

And Gu Fengqing, after being stunned at the beginning, quickly came back to his senses.

He looked at the respectful Li Qi, looked at him fixedly, and suddenly smiled.

......

Ouchi, Qianqing Palace.

Today is the three times a month, at the end of the month.

If the Great Xia Dynasty has nothing important, it generally only needs to hold three Great Dynasty meetings every month, which are at the beginning of the month, the middle of the month, and the end of the month. At that time, the six departments of Beijing and the hundred senses who can enter the palace will all be here.

On weekdays, when there is a matter, the relevant yamen will submit the folds to the cabinet, and the cabinet will handle it.

If the cabinet can't make up its mind, it will enter the palace to face the saint, and the emperor will summon him in the side hall.

And today is the Great Dynasty Meeting, because the matter discussed is very important, so that from the beginning of the previous dynasty, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military debates.

For the sake of it, it is naturally a phase candidate.

At this time, there were a lot of officials standing densely in the hall, the bachelors of the cabinet, the senior officials of the six ministries who had survived the baptism before, at a cursory glance, there were no less than 100 people, arguing with red faces and thick necks.

After the baptism of Jinyiwei, hundreds of officials were arrested by the six departments before, but now in a short period of time, many people have filled in.

I have to say that the Great Xia Dynasty lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of people.

There are countless people who want to be officials, those who want to be high-ranking officials, and the number of people who are not satisfied with being high-ranking officials, even if the previous group of people are almost all dead, even if the DPRK and China have just experienced a bloody killing, but for them, this will not have any impact at all.

And even more so that they get excited.

The more people die, the more vacancies will be created!

This is an opportunity for them!

Although they are not qualified to compete for the phase, they can fight for other positions.

This has also led to the fact that every time there is a court meeting in the past three months, it will be like now, and the hall has become as noisy as a vegetable market.

Looking at the kind of people in the hall, completely ignoring his royal majesty, arguing loudly there, this is simply impossible to happen in the past!

"It's all because of Jinyiwei, because of Gu Fengqing!"

"If it weren't for him, how could I have fallen to such a state!"

"The majesty is gone, and the imperial power is weakened!"

The emperor's heart showed a deep sorrow.

At present, no one in the Manchu Dynasty really wants to worry about the king, and no one really cares about his situation, everyone is just for power, for greater power!

They only care about their own interests!

The red-faced and thick-necked officials without manners, and the greedy and indifferent eyes made the emperor's heart even colder.

"Playing the Emperor's ......"

Just when the hall was arguing, the official secretary of the six ministries suddenly stood up, first saluted the emperor sitting on the throne, and then said: "The position of the first assistant of the cabinet is the head of my hundred civil and military officials in Great Xia, with high power and great responsibility, and those who are qualified to serve must have both ability and political integrity and great prestige!"

"However, there are only a few military officials in the context of the Manchu Dynasty who can meet this condition!

"This person is a scholar of Wenhuadian University, Zhang Yiju Zhang!"

"Zhang Yiju Zhang is originally a scholar with outstanding knowledge, and he is one of the few literary people in the world, and he has assisted Lu Yuanqing in the Wenhua Hall for many years.

"Yes, what Lord Shangshu said is right!"

"Master Zhang's way of governing the government is full of people, and no one is unconvinced, and he can be ranked as the first assistant!"

"Your Majesty should think about it!"

As the words of the Ministry of Shangshu fell, the officials of his faction also echoed it.

"Your Majesty...... Now that Lu Yuanqing has retired, and the position of first assistant should be taken over by Lord Zhang, why is Your Majesty still hesitating?" Seeing that the emperor sitting on it did not speak, the official Shangshu shook his robe and bowed deeply: "Please also ask Your Majesty to give an order!"

"Please give your majesty an order!"

"Please give your majesty an order!"

All the officials bowed down one after another, and their mouths responded to it.

Hearing this, the emperor sat on the throne, and although his face was silent, the hands hidden in his sleeves were tightly clenched.

Because of too much force, the joints of the fingers are a little whitish.

Forcing the palace!

This is a forced palace!

He was roaring inside.

In the past, who in the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty dared to force the palace like now? Even though he was just a puppet, he still had to respect him on the surface, but now, he ......

Because of a palace change in Jinyiwei, the last fig leaf of the royal family was completely torn apart, so that these ministers began to be disrespectful to him!

Do you think I'm really just a piece of waste?!

Did they all learn to force the palace with Jinyiwei?!

The anger in the Emperor's heart rose rapidly, to the point where he could no longer contain it, and his face began to turn red.

His body was trembling slightly.

However, no one cared about his state.

"That's ridiculous!"

At this moment, Tobe Shangshu stepped forward.

first saluted the emperor, then swept over the officials who had spoken before, and finally fell on the body of the official secretary, and said righteously: "How important is the position of the head of the cabinet, how can the emperor have to approve it because your ministry has drawn up a list?"

"Besides, this matter is very important, what are the personnel, the emperor has his own conclusion, when will it be your turn to intervene?"

These words are really righteous words, and the righteousness is awe-inspiring!

Even when the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head slightly, and his eyes showed a brightness.

Seemingly...... After all, there are still people in the DPRK who can't stand it and speak for me!

It seems that this Manchu Dynasty still has courtiers who want to be royal!

"If there are such courtiers in the court, why should I still be controlled by the Jinyi Guard?"

"After all, there is still a chance to regain power again......"

As soon as such a thought came to the emperor's mind, he suddenly saw that Hubu Shangshu suddenly turned around and bowed to him: "Your Majesty, I don't have the right to ask who is in charge of the phase, but Wechen is willing to recommend a great sage to Your Majesty!"

"This person is one of the cabinet scholars, Liu Wenyuan and Lord Liu!"

"Although Lord Liu has always been low-key in the cabinet, but when it comes to knowledge and political experience, he is not far behind Mr. Zhang, and more importantly, Mr. Liu has always loved the people, the year before last the river burst the embankment, Mr. Liu personally supervised and rushed to the disaster area, not only quickly cured the flood, but also when he left, he was sent to the Qingtian archway by the local people!"

"Such a good official and a clean official who loves the people like a son, if Lord Liu is not the prime minister, who can be the prime minister of the Manchurian dynasty?!"

The emperor's face changed color again.

But the head of the household department seemed to be completely unable to see the emperor's face, and said to himself: "Now that the Manchu Dynasty is in ruins, if Your Majesty wants to reorganize the dynasty and clean up the country, it is the right time for Lord Liu to take the position of first assistant at this time!"

"At that time, the whole court will clap their hands and applaud, and the people of the world will also be happy!"

As soon as these words came out, all the officials in the hall looked at the two people at the front of the civil official sequence.

Zhang Yiju on the left bowed his head and was silent.

Liu Wenyuan, on the right, also had a calm face and didn't seem to have any desire to speak.

As the two most promising candidates to compete for the throne in the current dynasty, they have a large number of henchmen behind them to charge for them, so they don't have to tear them up in person.

Therefore, when the two henchmen tore apart to a white heat, the two remained indifferent, as if the whole court was not arguing about the two of them.

"Your Excellency's words are ridiculous!"

"Although Scholar Liu has dealt with floods, he has no experience in the ruling party, how can he serve as a phase if he is not familiar with governance?

"Exactly!"

"Now that the DPRK is in ruins, what we need is the first assistant who can lead us to revitalize the dynasty, and this is none other than Lord Zhang!"

"After all, there is still something wrong with Scholar Liu!"

"Why is it wrong for Lord Liu?!"

"It is precisely because the DPRK and China are in ruins that they cannot continue to stick to the rules, and there must be strong people to break the cage, so that the dynasty can be revitalized! Lord Liu's clan brother is also very prestigious in the local area, and he can play a key role in controlling the martial arts of our dynasty, how can he not be in the phase?"

"That's it!"

"In my opinion, Lord Liu is in the phase, and he is the most suitable candidate!"

The people on both sides began to tear apart.

As they tore apart, the entire Qianqing Palace entered the noise again for a while.

The two sides are fighting over the phase, and you and I are inseparable.

The emperor sat on a high seat, his face gloomy and terrifying, but no one paid attention to him.

None of them cared about the emperor's intentions.

Just when the argument between the two sides was in full swing, the emperor suddenly saw a figure appear outside the main hall.

The man walked slowly, with gloves in his sleeves, and walked leisurely towards the main hall, as if he were strolling leisurely.

With his arrival, feeling this person's leisurely stroll, everyone in the entire hall was stunned for a moment, and the sound of the quarrel couldn't help but weaken.

"Weichen, I've seen Your Majesty!"

This person came to the palace and walked to the forefront of the ministers, and then bowed to the emperor.

"Damn!"

"It's so casual!"

"Not only did I come so late, but I was even more careless when I saluted, is this completely indifferent to me?!"

Looking at this person's demeanor, the emperor, who was furious, couldn't hold back any longer, and wanted to burst into thunderous rage.

I can't afford to mess with both people, can you and I still be messed with?!

Thinking like this, just when the emperor was about to reprimand angrily, at this moment, the person who came straightened his waist, looked directly at the emperor above, took out an object from his sleeve with both hands, his voice was clear, his face was calm, and he said lightly: "Your Majesty, Weichen is here, and he has brought the words of Lord Gu!"

"Master Gu said, Li Qi, can be the first assistant!"

Swish!

As soon as the flat tone spread, after spreading throughout the venue, it was like a violent wind sweeping and the waves crashing on the shore, which immediately made everyone present stunned.

The expressions of everyone in the main hall also froze instantly.

Everyone's eyes widened, looking at the thing in Li Qi's hand, it was exactly that-

Waist card!

The waist card of the commander of the Jinyi Guard!

This sentence, the appearance of this waist card, made the entire hall suddenly silent.

Everyone looked at Li Qi in shock, but only one sentence kept echoing in their minds-

Li Qi can be the first assistant!

Li Qi can be the first assistant!

Li Qi can be the first assistant!

Everyone looked incredulous, everyone looked incredulous, they just wondered if there was something wrong with their ears, or if they were still in a dream at the moment.

Li Qi, become the first assistant?

Jin Yiwei actually supported Li Qi to become the first assistant?

Who is Li Qi?

One of the more than ten university scholars in the Wenhua Palace, he is very low-key and doesn't know anything except making a fuss.

There is no backer in the middle of the court, and there is no strong help from the outside, if compared with Zhang Yiju and Liu Wenyuan, he is nothing!

The position of prime minister is even more than eight poles that can't take his turn!

Can ...... now

Jin Yiwei actually supported him?!

The most powerful Jinyiwei in the DPRK and China, who can't even compete with the surviving first floor of the world, would actually support an obscure person like Li Qi?

Why is he?

More importantly, why did Li Qi get the support of Jinyiwei?

Could it be that he took refuge in Jinyiwei?

How is this possible!

Although Li Qi is unknown, and the whole court and the central government do not regard him as a strong contender for the phase, after all, this person is also a scholar of the Wenhua Palace, the grandmaster of the Tianwen world, and he has always been famous for his outstanding articles, so he can be ranked in the Wenhua Palace.

But such a person actually took refuge in Jinyiwei?

He's a reader!

He is a great Confucian in the literary world!

He is a role model for students in the world!

And Jin Yiwei is just a group of martial artists!

Even though today's Jinyi Wei is as powerful as this, but its reputation is better than that of the East and West Second Factory, but anyone who has the backbone will not go along with it!

Because deep down in their hearts, they still look down on Jinyiwei!

In their opinion, no matter how strong Jinyiwei is, he is just a dog raised by the imperial court!

And they are the masters of this court!

Because of this, when the East and West No. 2 factories were powerful, most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty also chose to take refuge in Lu Yuanqing or Zhu Yongchang.

Although they knew that Lu Yuanqing also had something to do with Xichang, they comforted themselves in their hearts: I still have my heart for the prime minister of the cabinet, and I still have my heart for reading, and I have not fallen to the eunuch eunuch!

It's ridiculous to say.

Since the Jinyi Wei was powerful, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all afraid of the Jinyi Wei like a tiger, and even many people came to Hu Huan, hoping to get shelter and support, and in order to survive, they could kneel on the ground and beg for mercy like dogs.

It's just that deep down in my heart, I still don't look down on this group of brocade guards who can kill them at will!

They still feel that they, the literati, are the hope of Great Xia!

This kind of antagonistic emotion should not appear in a person, but countless scholars up and down Great Xia have such thoughts.

I have to say, it's weird.

But that's just the way it is—that's the status quo of the Great Xia civil officials!

It is precisely because of this that there are many vacancies in the official positions of the DPRK and China this time, and many people hope to get the support of Jinyiwei in order to go further, and even more hope to take refuge in Jinyiwei, intending to get involved in the phase.

But when Jin Yiwei really supported who to enter the cabinet, everyone was stunned at the moment.

Then a thought came to my mind—

Jinyiwei, how dare you get involved in the phase?

And as soon as this idea was born, they suddenly thought of a question that was very possible, but they had not been willing to think about it before.

If Jin Yiwei really supports someone as a prime minister, then this person feels that he can become a prime minister!

Suddenly, everyone in the hall suddenly had countless emotions such as fear, fear, and disbelief in their hearts.

These emotions are intertwined, and everyone can't help but change their colors.

It's a real possibility!

Because when Li Qi said this, none of the people present dared to stand up and refute it!

Nor did anyone dare to come out and express a different opinion!

Even Zhang Yiju and Liu Wenyuan didn't dare to stand up!

"Your Majesty, Master Gu said, Weichen Li Qi can be the first assistant!"

Just when the audience was silent, Li Qi's face remained unchanged and repeated again.

This time the sound was still not loud, but at this moment, it was like a thunderbolt, exploding in the temple.

Exploded in everyone's ears.

Everyone came back to their senses in an instant.

The emperor suddenly changed color.

Zhang Yiju and Liu Wenyuan looked shocked.

The whole court was up and down, and the civil and military officials were even more wide-eyed, and Nuo Nuo did not dare to speak.

Everyone was stunned.

Especially the emperor.

He looked at Li Qi standing in front of him, he seemed respectful on the surface, but in fact he didn't have any loyalty and patriotism, and the anger in his heart was even more wild.

The Son of Heaven is a pro-army Jinyi Guard, as the emperor's minions, but now he has broken free from the reins and trampled the high imperial power under his feet.

Let him, the Son of Heaven, this Emperor of Great Xia, have no majesty!

Even now, I still want to rely on a word, a waist card, and let a word decide the position of the first assistant!

How arrogant and unscrupulous this is!

He Gu Fengqing, is there still a little bit of royal law in his eyes, is there any awe of the imperial power? !

At this moment, the first thought in the emperor's heart was to reprimand loudly, let Li Qi be forked left and right, and even wanted to send someone to scold Gu Fengqing in person, but ......

He's just thinking about it in his head!

On his face, he didn't dare to show the slightest abnormality.

He even had to squeeze out a smile, and then said softly: "Since it is Gu Aiqing's meaning, then I ......"

......
