The eunuch continued to read: "...However, there are evil villains who are brave enough to plot the dragon vein and steal the sacred weapon of the country. Fortunately, Jiang Fan, the king of Zhenxi, is loyal to the king and protects the country. He tracks for thousands of miles and recaptures the magic whip. It is a great achievement. The Human Emperor ordered, The King of Zhenxi will go to the Ziwei Palace in the imperial court to receive the reward soon, and he will be granted permission to inspect the inheritance of the Taizu. If the artifact is approved, he will respect the Taizu's edict, be the hidden minister of the Zhenguo, hold the divine whip, and use it as the basis of the Zhenguo - the imperial gift —!"
boom--
The scene exploded.
No one expected that such a big event would come out of the blue after just deciding on the leader of the Five Nations Alliance.
Almost no one paid attention to the theft of the dragon vein. After all, these people had secretly sent people to participate in it and knew it well. Of course, they suspected that the whip fell into the hands of Jiang Fan, but no one had any evidence, let alone talk about it in depth. matter, so focus directly on the imperial edict itself.
How to say? The dragon vein was stolen, and Jiang Fan took back the kingdom's sacred weapon, the Divine Whip. Therefore, the imperial court will personally verify whether it has been inherited by Dazai. If so, he will become the Prime Minister of the Zhou Dynasty. He will be in charge of the sacred weapon and can knock out the slanderers. He is the only one in name. Below, above tens of thousands of people?
Is this fucking okay? In comparison, King Jin's alliance leader seems to be almost uninterested. You must know that it has been a thousand-year tradition for the Great Zhou Dynasty to respect the Taizai, and the Taizai's merits will last forever. All the subjects of the Zhou Dynasty are extremely respectful. As evidenced by the imperial edicts of Taizu, Taizong and all previous emperors, the successor of the Taizai will never be the Prime Minister of the country. People can say half a word "no".
At this time, they also suddenly realized that the artifact had been buried underground for more than nine hundred years, and they had almost forgotten the meaning it represented. What's more, they never expected that the prince would actually bring it up at this time.
But if that happens, wouldn't that guy become the reincarnation of Dazai?
Although it is said that Dazai has passed away for more than 900 years, the world has undergone vicissitudes, people and careers have changed for dozens of generations, and coupled with the decline of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he has long lost the hearts of the people. His power and appeal will not be overwhelming, but he will still exist, especially It has a huge influence on the imperial court, and many things can be implemented legitimately with this. Let alone the distant ones, at least the leaders of the five countries were restrained instantly.
It is not difficult to imagine that the reason why the leader of the Five Nations Alliance is awesome is that he can legitimately use the imperial court to influence policies and seek benefits. But with such a restriction, it will definitely be greatly reduced.
But for a moment, no one could think too much. Their first realization was that it was absolutely not possible!
Therefore, when the prince asked the empress to forward the imperial edict to Jiang Fan, Xiang Chen was the first to jump out and his tone was very disrespectful.
"Prince! This is not possible. How can Jiang Fan be so virtuous as to hold the position of arrogant Prime Minister!"
The King of Wei also spoke: "Yes, although Jiang Fan is the King of Zhenxi, he is also the Regent of the Qin State. It is very inappropriate to serve as the Prime Minister of the Zhou Dynasty."
Old woman Xia also spoke: "Recapture the divine whip, and you will be rewarded for your merits. Your Majesty and the Crown Prince, please think twice about this matter of the Prime Minister."
Even Lord Shiraishi expressed his objections regardless of the righteousness of his allies. It is completely understandable that he does not want his king to be so restricted.
In an instant, there were many people talking and admonishing each other, and the scene was once in chaos. Whether these monarchs, civil or military, did not give in to the imperial court on key matters, it really made people feel the embarrassing situation of the imperial court today.
The only one who didn't object, besides the empress, was the Feng family. Feng Chen seemed to be fine, returned to his seat and sat quietly by himself.
Jiang Fan sighed in his heart, he was so damn unpopular. The issue of how big the leader of the Five Nations was was passed so quietly and calmly. When he was appointed as the Prime Minister, everyone shouted at him. Where could he go to reason?
But he was also completely surprised that the prince actually dropped such a bombshell.
With his mind spinning, he suddenly understood why the prince dared to choose the leader of the Five Nations Alliance, and there was still this condition to check and balance the co-authorship. He finally understood the true meaning of those four words and the purpose of asking for the divine whip.
No wonder the prince said that the most important thing was to use the divine whip, and also gave him an imperial edict that he didn't know when he would use. Unfortunately, he didn't fully understand what he meant.
But now, the four countries are opposed, how should the prince deal with it?
Ji Zongyi's eyes were clear and he said loudly: "Gentlemen, some things can be voted on, but some things are the will of the imperial court. Do you have to make the decision for the imperial court in everything?"
When these words came out, the scene fell silent for an instant.
After all, the imperial court has just conducted a fair and just selection, but it is indeed unnecessary and unreasonable to explain to the princes to appoint the prime minister. This is completely the power that the imperial court should have.
Originally, if this was announced from the beginning, the four countries would definitely explode, but with the affairs of the main country at the forefront, they were actually silenced for a while.
Ji Zongyi looked unhappy and said in a low voice: "Everyone... the appointment of the Prime Minister is the power of the Human Emperor. I don't know who you are... you want to make the decision for the Human Emperor?"
The scene became quieter. These words were too strong. Although the imperial court was only an empty shell, the symbolic meaning was there. Who dared to say this? Saying so is tantamount to creating the best excuse for the other four countries. No one wants something like the Four Kingdoms' attack on Qin to happen to them.
Zhang Yi said slowly: "Of course no one dares to be rebellious, but the inheritance of Dazai is of great importance. Since Taizu, although there were edicts in the Great Zhou Dynasty, they were sealed into the Dragon Vein Kingdom because of the whip, and no one could inherit it. No one has ever taken on the role of hidden prime minister in hundreds of years. How can Jiang Fan assume the important position of prime minister regardless of his status or age? He cannot convince the public..."
Ji Zongyi looked indifferent: "This is the order of the Human Emperor. The lonely king dare not comment, but it seems premature for you to worry. It is not yet known whether Jiang Fan can obtain the approval of the Divine Whip. Why are you making such a fuss!"
Everyone was stunned. Yes, it was rumored that the whip was a divine weapon. Only Dazai could use it. Even the descendants of the Jiang family had never been able to gain its approval. Jiang Fan is probably unlikely to do it either. ωωw..net
At this moment, Ji Zongyi said another sentence: "Besides, the lonely king also thinks that although Jiang Fan has regained the magic whip, it is still unclear whether he can be recognized by the magic weapon. If you think so, you might as well climb with Jiang Fan." After a test in the imperial court, maybe the person who can be recognized by the divine whip is not Jiang Fan, but all the gentlemen here?"
Xiang Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Your Highness is saying that you can also try a certain family?"
Ji Zongyi nodded: "The inheritance of Dazai is very important. The lonely king has already asked your majesty to give five quotas to each of the five countries. We can go together to verify. Whoever the divine whip recognizes will be the prime minister. The emperor's edict has already stated this. It's just that the Divine Whip has never been born. Now that it has been born, it coincides with the great Zhou Dynasty facing a precarious situation. It is time to find the successor of Dazai and regain control of the country."
As soon as these words came out, everyone could no longer argue. After all, the imperial court did not say that it must be given to Jiang Fan, but only asked him to go and verify it. Moreover, the prince was very generous and gave each of the five countries their quotas, and there was no way to make any more decisions. Fierce opposition.
Only Jiang Fan laughed secretly in his stomach. The verification of the fart, without innate energy and Kunlun inheritance, you are just there to watch the fun.
"As we all know, the magic whip has magical powers and cannot be used by those who are not chosen by fate. Such an act by the lonely king can be regarded as the most benevolent and righteous. The rest depends on fate. If Jiang Fan fails, he can only give up, but the imperial court will not hesitate I will reward him for his merits." The prince said indifferently.
