Chapter 45: Succession to the Title

After struggling for a long time, Xiao Qianjue still didn't pull the trigger, so he let Xiao Qianji and his group leave.

So much has happened between last night and this moment.

First, the confession of Sun Siyu and Xiao Qianjue, and then the battle between Qingtian and Lingyun'er against Wu Buzhi and Ling Mengchen respectively.

Just when the Qingtian Essence Yuan was exhausted, Wu didn't know that he was seriously injured, and the Lingyun'er Essence Yuan was sealed by that finger, Xiao Qianji suddenly appeared, and the power of Lingmengchen's soul was all exhausted, and Xiao Qianjue was also pierced through the heart by the sword.

Then Xiao Qianjue was successfully resurrected with the help of the earth's side, and received an interstellar express from Zuo Ci's descendant, Zuo Zhi.

Next, Ember Burning and Hua Wang'er acted privately, and had a fierce battle with Xiao Bo Ai Wan'er, and a puppet made with the spirit core of Master Lingmengchen's love evening breeze appeared in the middle, and then Ai Wan'er died of an elemental bomb to save Xiao Qianji, and just when Xia Bijun also fell into the hands of Ling Yun'er, Xiao Qianjue arrived.

first shot and injured Ling Yun'er, then seriously injured Hua Wang, and finally when he was about to kill Yan Yanyan, Xiao Qianji suddenly arrived, and the two did not fight, but their father died under the sword of his youngest son.

"With his character, he won't leave without a fight, what will happen in four years?" Xiao Qianjue thought back to what Xiao Qianji said before leaving.

Xia Bijun had already woken up leisurely at this time, and when she listened to Hornak tell what happened in Xiao Mansion today, she didn't know what it was like in her heart.

Originally, Ai Wan'er regarded Xia Bijun's mother and son as a thorn in the flesh, but when she heard that she gave up the opportunity to escape alone and died in the explosion in order to protect her son, Xia Bijun was a little sad, no matter what kind of woman, as long as she is a mother, she will protect her child when her child is in danger, even if she sacrifices herself.

As for Xiao Bo's death at the hands of Xiao Qianji, Xia Bijun was still a little embarrassed in addition to being surprised by the latter's madness, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was the best ending for their mother and son.

Because Hornark promised her that he would take Xiao Qianjue into the palace to face the saint, because the Xiao family's title and official position need to be inherited, and he wants to marry his youngest daughter Huo Yingying to Xiao Qianjue.

The current Xiao Mansion has already been turned into ruins due to multiple explosions, and Xia Bijun can only go to Huo Mansion to live for a while for the time being, and then move back when the Xiao Mansion is renovated.

Xia Bijun stayed in Huo Mansion for the time being, and said that Xiao Qianjue had enshrined Xiao Bo's body on the seventh floor of the Imperial Academy's cultivation hall with the help of Hornak, and it was already three days later.

During this time, the entire Changchun City was spread all over the matter of Xiao Qianji's brother killing his mother and father, and the people seemed to be surprised that this kind of thing happened to the Xiao family, after all, they all knew that Xiao Qianji was overwhelmed by Xiao Qianji on the day of the first test of Jingyuan, so in their opinion, this must be the jealousy of the younger brother to the elder brother, and the parents also doted on the talented elder brother more, which caused the younger brother's mentality to be unbalanced and did such a thing that destroyed human nature.

However, they didn't know that Xiao Qianji didn't know how much better he was than Xiao Qianjue in terms of talent or cultivation, and they didn't know that Ai Wan'er was not Xiao Qianjue's biological mother.

It's just that civilians are civilians because they waste their time eating melons and gossip, they won't care about the truth, the irony is that Xiao Qianji's motives can't even be understood by Xiao Qianjue, the party involved in the incident.

In the palace, the main hall, the emperor surnamed Chen is sitting on the dragon chair at the moment.

The ministers were divided into civil and military lines, headed by the military general Hornak, and the first civil official was empty, followed by Taifu Chen Bufan, and next to the old man was Xiao Qianjue.

"I heard about the changes in Xiao Xiang's family, I am deeply saddened, thinking that Xiao Xiang has been in office for nearly 20 years, the internal affairs are rigorous, the people are loved, and the country is rich in food, and now unfortunately died at the hands of the rebel son. The emperor surnamed Chen paused, looked at Xiao Qianjue for a while, and said in his heart, "Listening to my brother-in-law and imperial uncle have always praised this person, he has nothing special about him!"

Today is the first time he and Xiao Qianjue have met, I saw that the latter is fourteen or fifteen years old, neither tall nor burly, nor handsome and chic, with a height of one meter and early sixties, and a thin figure.

In addition to Hornark and Chen Bufan, the other people's impression of Xiao Qianjue is similar to that of the emperor, and they all feel that Xiao Bo's eldest son can't be more ordinary, but whether it is the emperor or the Manchu Dynasty, several things that happened a few months later made their views on Xiao Qianjue change drastically, of course, this is a later story.

Hearing that the emperor had allowed Xiao Qianjue to inherit Xiao Bo's official position and title, Chen Bufan pulled the former's clothes and motioned for him to thank Lord Longen quickly.

Of course, Xiao Qianjue is not a fool, and when he received Chen Bufan's signal, he immediately knelt on his knees, "Thank you, Lord Longen, but the minister has a reluctant request." ”

Seeing that Xiao Qianjue still had a request, the emperor surnamed Chen asked curiously, "What is Xiao Aiqing's request?"

Xiao Qianjue stood up, thought for a moment, and said slowly, "The minister is not more than a minister, he thinks that he is not qualified for the post of prime minister, but he thinks of the ancestor of the star protector, and he can't resign from the office, so he is willing to temporarily live as the prime minister, and His Majesty will personally exercise the power of the prime minister, and the minister will humbly study the handling of His Majesty's government affairs, and he will share worries and solve problems for His Majesty in the future!

Hearing Xiao Qianjue's request, not to mention that the Manchu Dynasty was shocked, even the emperor surnamed Chen didn't expect that normal people would cut off their heads and become big officials to control military power, he was good, and he made such a thing as acting prime minister and handing over military power, and he was only willing to keep the title, is this a request?

Xiao Qian definitely has his thoughts, he is not in charge of affairs and is afraid of trouble, not to mention, through the fact that when Xiao Bo was seriously injured by the ashes, it can be seen that Hornak did not save him when he saw death, the core figures of the imperial court, the emperor, the Taifu and the general, may have long been unhappy with Xiao Bo, the prime minister, why? Because of the excessive power, he proposed to learn from the emperor, which is just a slogan, not only to give the emperor face, but also to not want to follow in the footsteps of Xiao Bo, and to hand over the military power, but also to make Hornak satisfied with himself, and he can also not worry about the affairs of the army, and cultivate with peace of mind.

Emperor Chen and Xiao Qian definitely glanced at each other, and after a little analysis, they knew what Xiao Qianjue was planning, but no matter what, the return of Xiangquan and the army made his position as the emperor more stable, thinking of this, Long Yan said with great joy, "Xiao Aiqing is too modest, but it is also reasonable, today I will follow Qing's opinion, and in the future, after Xiao Aiqing is proficient in government affairs, he must solve problems for me!"

Xiao Qianjue said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty rest assured!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, if you have something to do with it, you will be beaten early, and you will retreat from the dynasty if you have nothing to do!" said Emperor Chen slowly.

"I wonder if Your Majesty will be able to set a candidate for the Jingyuan Competition in three months?" Chen Bufan took a step forward and asked.
