Chapter 458 Forced Palace!
"Bastard! Is this your first day as a minister, Qiu Wanli? Where does the idea of elders and juniors come from between monarchs and ministers?" Xu Wenchuan glared, his aura even more intimidating!
Qiu Wanli chuckled lightly and said lightly, "The prince also said that there is no such thing as seniority between monarch and ministers, and Her Royal Highness the Princess is not a monarch."
"Even if Her Royal Highness is not a king, she is still a prince! Qiu Wanli, you have no prince, and you deserve to die!"
"Oh? When did Her Royal Highness the Princess become the Crown Prince, why didn't I know? Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor issued a letter of invitation? If so, please take it out and let the civil and military officials of the dynasty take a closer look!"
"Her Royal Highness the Princess is the only heir of His Majesty the Emperor, so she is naturally the crown prince, so why do we need an edict? Since all civil and military officials are gathered together today, and it is an auspicious day, why not simply hold a coronation ceremony for Her Royal Highness Princess to make it official!"
"I think it's okay! A country cannot live without a king for a day! I'm sure the Imperial Master won't object, right?" Hu Jingqi and Xu Wenchuan cooperated very well and immediately agreed.
"I don't agree!" As soon as Hu Jingqi finished speaking, a middle-aged man walked out from behind Qiu Wanli. He was dressed in a fiery red official robe, embroidered with flying phoenixes, and he could tell at a glance that he was of high rank.
"Da Situ?" Hu Jingqi couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw this person.
Chief Situ He Zhen was a first-rank official in the dynasty and Qiu Wanli's best friend. His words would definitely not be a good one. No wonder Hu Jingqi frowned.
Sure enough, Da Situ glanced at Hu Jingqi coldly and said bluntly, "I don't agree with the princess inheriting the throne! The princess is only twenty years old this year and has not yet grown up. Not only has she not made any contribution to the country,
How can you be a good king of a country if you have no experience in governing the country? Letting Her Royal Highness the Princess ascend the throne is irresponsible to the Qingyun Empire and to hundreds of millions of people!"
"That's what Da Situ said!"
"Your Highness, the princess, has no virtue and no ability, and she is not enough to make the world surrender!"
Qiu Wanli was still powerful. As soon as He Zhen finished speaking, he immediately aroused a tsunami of approval and agreement. Hu Jingqi shouted several times, but he just couldn't suppress the crowd's voice.
"How dare you be so bold! How dare you slander and insult Her Royal Highness in public? How many heads do you have!?" Seeing that Hu Jingqi was becoming more and more unable to hold his position, Xu Wenchuan suddenly let out an angry roar and poured some energy into it. The general also returned
Well, those civil servants were unlucky. Their eardrums were ringing and they had splitting headaches, so they had to stop making noise.
He Zhen was determined to stand with Qiu Wanli. Even though he was frightened by Xu Wenchuan's power, he still refused to back down.
He snorted coldly and said, "It's not that I am really slandering and insulting Her Highness the Princess, but everything I said is true! Is it just because Her Highness the Princess is the flesh and blood of the emperor that we will destroy the territory that countless soldiers sacrificed their lives for?"
, surrendered to death?"
"He Zhen, please don't exaggerate and make alarmist statements here! Your Highness, Princess, indeed has little experience in governing the country, but there are still us ministers of civil and military affairs! As long as we give our full support, the Qingyun Empire will not be ruined. Since ancient times, young people have succeeded to the throne.
Are there many examples of people who later became the Holy Emperor and the Mingjun? If one day in the future, our Qingyun Empire really dies, it will be because of the inability of our ministers to assist and have nothing to do with the Emperor!"
"Hmph! Prince Dingshan is being foolishly loyal. I cannot agree with this!"
"He Zhen! Don't be too shameless! I remember back then, when you were arrogant and acted erratically, which offended the examiner and failed to pass the test many times! It was the emperor who personally reviewed your test paper and then accepted you against all odds.
!like
Otherwise, how could you become a first-class official and stand above this court? I'm afraid you would have been poor and depressed long ago! His Majesty the Emperor is so deeply grateful to you, but today you are going to betray him, you are still considered worthy.
Personally?"
Hu Jingqi looked at He Zhen with eyes full of contempt, feeling that Bai Zhenshan's hard work was not worth it!
Hu Jingqi originally thought that such words would definitely make He Zhenxiu feel ashamed. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, He Zhen suddenly knelt down towards Dongfang with tears streaming down his face and said in pain, "
What Mr. Tiger said is absolutely right! If it weren’t for His Majesty the Emperor,
With the support of the emperor, He Zhen will never be what he is today! It is precisely because of this that He Zhen is willing to risk thousands of lives to protect the country that the emperor has built through countless hardships! Even if people later scold me, He Zhenen will avenge his revenge. It is nothing, as long as the country will last forever
Really, how can I really have a smile on my face?"
"Master He, please get up quickly! Your Majesty the Emperor will surely understand Master He's ice-cold heart!"
He Zhen was obviously showing off, but he was very skilled in acting. When he knelt down and cried, hundreds of officials immediately rushed out and helped He Zhen up from the ground.
"Thank you, colleagues! He was so grateful for the emperor's kindness that he couldn't help himself for a moment and lost his composure. Please don't blame me, colleagues."
Seeing He Zhen who was calm and composed, Xu Wenchuan and Hu Jingqi couldn't help but look at each other. It seemed that the other party was really prepared!
"Everyone! Now in our Qingyun Empire, the emperor is critically ill inside and has been unable to govern for many days! Outside, powerful enemies are surrounding us, and war is imminent! It is a time of internal and external difficulties. Under such an urgent situation, we must elect a leader
Brave and wise
, and at the same time can intimidate people from all over the world to rule the throne. Only in this way can we help us resolve internal and external crises and preserve the country of the empire! I feel that there is no one in the whole court who is more suitable than the Imperial Master. What do you colleagues think?
"
"Master He is so right!"
"I invite the Imperial Master to ascend the throne and lead us to strengthen the country internally and defend against powerful enemies externally!"
As if it had been rehearsed in advance, as soon as He Zhen finished speaking, all the civil and military officials shouted loudly together, creating the illusion that everyone was expecting him!
"This is unreasonable! You are clearly plotting to usurp the throne!" Hu Jingqi was so angry that he flew into a rage. To put it bluntly, he had the heart to eat He Zhen alive.
"Hu Jingqi! Don't you still understand that things have happened now? The National Preceptor's being crowned a great treasure is what everyone expects. But Princess Baidie's ascending the throne and proclaiming the emperor is a conspiracy to usurp the throne! Let me ask you, do you want to do this?
That treasonous traitor who seeks to usurp the throne?"
Having said that, he ignored the livid-looking Hu Jingqi. He Zhen stepped forward directly, glared at Princess Baidie, and said, "Your Highness, the Emperor is ill and cannot afford it. Why don't I ask you to announce the throne on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor?"
Mr. Yu Guoshi."
"You..." He Zhen was so aggressive that he didn't even let anyone take a breath. Baidie was so angry that she trembled wildly.
"Your Highness, for the sake of the country, the country, and the hundreds of millions of people, please don't hesitate any longer!" He Zhen took a few steps forward and was almost face to face with Princess Baidie.
"Bold He Zhen, do you want to assassinate the princess?" Seeing this scene, Tang Xinyi became furious, pulled out the sword on her waist, and struck at He Zhen.
"Hmph! Such an arrogant girl, could it be that she wants to kill the first-rank minister of the dynasty in this government hall?"
He Zhen didn't know martial arts, and his expression changed on the spot when he was frightened. When Qiu Wanli saw this, he said coldly, flicked his fingers with two fingers, one hit Tang Xinyi's sword edge, and the other shot towards Tang Xinyi's throat. Look.
It seems that it is not just as simple as saving He Zhen.
Qiu Wanli usually kept a low profile, but his cultivation was very solid. These two finger winds were very domineering and fast. They were in front of Tang Xinyi in almost the blink of an eye, so that Tang Xinyi barely had a chance to deal with it.
.
This made Tang Xinyi shocked! After practicing Gui Yi Qi, her cultivation level skyrocketed to the seventh level of Qi, but she couldn't even deal with the two finger winds that Qiu Wanli casually popped up. This Qiu Wanli's cultivation level was a bit unavoidable.
It's too scary.
when!
The first finger wind hit Tang Xinyi's sword tip with great accuracy. Tang Xinyi felt that half of her body was numbed by the shock. She could no longer hold the sword in her hand and it fell directly to the ground. But Tang Xinyi
She had no intention of picking it up, because Qiu Wanli's second fatal finger wind was about to pierce her throat.
"National Preceptor, this is too much!"
At the critical moment, fortunately Xu Wenchuan took action, and the same finger wind came later and came first. Kankan canceled out Qiu Wanli's finger wind and saved Tang Xinyi.
"My lord, Tang Xinyi actually wanted to kill the first-rank minister of the dynasty, but you said that I am going too far?" Qiu Wanli turned to Xu Wenchuan with a solemn expression and asked in a deep voice.
Xu Wenchuan snorted coldly, curled his lips and said, "I didn't see Tang Xinyi killing a first-rank minister, I only saw her trying to kill an assassin who was unfavorable to Her Highness the Princess!"
"Ah? My lord, you... you can't say that. How dare you, a low-ranking official, to harm Her Highness the Princess?" He Zhen immediately called out to Qu.
Xu Wenchuan glared at him and said in a cold voice, "Since you are not harmful to Her Highness, why are you so close to Her Highness? Where you are standing now is where you should stand. Can you stand?"
"This... the official has indeed overstepped his bounds!" Although He Zhen was full of dissatisfaction, he was caught by Xu Wenchuan and had to admit his defeat. He did not dare to say any more and hurriedly leaned over and retreated.
Qiu Wanli waved his hand and said, "Let's get down to business! Your Royal Highness, please issue the call letter right now."
"Qiu Wanli, why are you in such a hurry? His Majesty the Emperor is only critically ill, but he has not yet conquered Long Bintian! You are so impatient. If His Majesty the Emperor knew, wouldn't it chill his heart?"
"Your Majesty, the Emperor, has always put the country and the people first in his life! Although he is lying on the couch at this moment and cannot speak, I can guarantee that the country and the people are what he is thinking about! He must not bear to see it.
It is true that because of his serious illness, he has brought disaster and misfortune to this country. It is precisely based on my understanding and respect for His Majesty the Emperor that I will not shy away from suspicion and shoulder the heavy responsibility of this country!"
"Tsk tsk! Qiu Wanli, what kind of magical skills have you cultivated? You can cultivate such a thick skin, I really admire you! It's obviously you who have evil intentions, but you insist on pretending to be so righteous. Do you want to laugh it off?
My king’s big teeth?”
Qiu Wanli shook his head, showing a very disappointed expression, and said slowly, "Of all the civil and military officials in the dynasty, I, Qiu Wanli, admire you the most, the prince. But I didn't expect that you would be so unreasonable, for your own foolish loyalty."
, actually abandoning the country and the country, and ignoring hundreds of millions of people."
"Qiu Wanli, even if you can break a hole in the sky, it's useless! I know your heart as a tiger and a wolf! You listen to me, as long as I still have breath, your
