"Xiao Fan is here."
"Aren't you afraid that Marquis Wenchang will hear you if you still shout like that?"
Many officials at the palace gate were talking in low voices.
A hundred meters away, Xiao Fan came leisurely on a white dragon pony.
Qin Xuan ascended the throne today. She arrived at the palace early, and now that her identity was exposed, she was not suitable to ride in the same carriage.
"My lords, what are you looking at me for?"
Xiao Fan got closer, dismounted and chuckled.
Some of the officials looked envious in their eyes. They knew that the prince was actually a woman. Jiang Yuli and Nangong Suxin must have taken advantage of him. They were both stunning beauties.
Moreover, Xiao Fan is very supportive of Qin Xuan becoming the emperor. If Qin Xuan and Xiao Fan are not related, no one believes it.
With Nuwa's support, if Xiao Fan wants to rebel now, there is a 99% chance that he will succeed, not to mention 100%.
"I heard that Marquis Wenchang actually attended the royal banquet, which is enviable."
"Marquis Wenchang, please take good care of me in the future."
Many people spoke one after another.
It wouldn't be surprising if Xiao Fan went to play at the royal banquet. Xiao Fan is a piano saint, so it was normal for him to participate in playing two pieces of music.
But Xiao Fan didn't play at the royal banquet last night.
In what capacity did he participate?
This is somewhat intriguing.
"Everyone, as long as you are loyal to His Majesty with all your heart, Your Majesty will take care of you. Why do you need me to take care of you?"
Xiao Fan said calmly.
Not long after, Jiang Gan, Nangong Jin and others also came over. Seeing them, Xiao Fan quickly stepped forward to say hello and salute.
Tomorrow he would have to come to propose marriage and confirm the engagement with Jiang Yuli and the others. By then, Jiang Gan and the others would be his elders.
"Crunch."
The palace door opens.
"My lords, please!"
Xiao Fan and several hundred people entered the palace in a mighty manner. There were many more palace guards in the palace today.
The internal issues within the royal family were settled last night, but if Qin Xuan's identity is revealed, there will definitely be ministers who will step forward.
The purpose of deploying more palace guards is to keep them awake.
After walking for ten minutes, Xiao Fan and the others entered Tianji Hall.
Xiao Fan is now the Marquis of Wenchang, and his rank is equivalent to that of a high-ranking official. He naturally stands at the front of the hall.
"Your Majesty is here!"
"Long live my emperor, long live my emperor!"
Qin Zhentian's expression on the emperor's throne was a little complicated. This was the last morning, and he was a little reluctant to give up.
"All the ministers are of equal status."
Qin Zhentian raised his voice.
Hundreds of officials in the hall stood up, and Qin Zhentian said in a deep voice: "My dear friends, I have listened to what you said for decades."
"Today is my last morning court meeting. No matter what you have to do, please don't go to court. Just listen to what I have to say."
Some courtiers in the crowd were dumbfounded.
They are still waiting for the performance.
The Tianlong Empire has never had a female emperor. They are old stubborns who insist on etiquette and feel that Qin Xuan cannot ascend the throne and become emperor.
Who would have thought that Qin Zhentian would not give them a chance to speak at all.
"Your Majesty, is this inappropriate?"
Some senior ministers stood up.
Qin Zhentian looked at him coldly: "Master Du, you want to teach me how to do things?"
The minister who stood up quickly knelt on the ground with a pop.
"Your Majesty, I don't dare. That's not what I meant."
The minister was so frightened that he broke into cold sweat.
Qin Zhentian said coldly: "There are some things that you shouldn't get involved in, so don't say more. I don't want anyone to die today."
"If you insist on causing trouble for me, don't blame me for not remembering our old relationship."
Some of the ministers who planned to stand up and make suggestions felt cold in their hearts. If they stood up, Qin Zhentian would probably kill someone.
Xiao Fan secretly shook his head.
It seems that there is no good show to watch.
But today is a good day for Qin Xuan to ascend the throne, and it would be best to avoid death.
"Marquis Wenchang."
Qin Zhentian looked at Xiao Fan.
Xiao Fan was startled, why did he come to him first?
"His Majesty."
Xiao Fan came out of the queue and bowed to salute.
Qin Zhentian said: "Marquis Wenchang, you have made great contributions to the country. I will grant you the title of Duke of the country and grant you a fiefdom of Tiannan Road. You can have up to 150,000 private troops."
"In addition, I will give you the privilege of not kneeling before you."
Tiannan Road includes five mansions, and Cangyun Mansion is among them.
The Marquis of Tianlong Empire can have up to 30,000 private troops, the Duke with military power can have up to 150,000 private troops, and the Prince can have up to 500,000 private troops.
"Xiao Fan has now become the Duke of the country, and he has a fiefdom and a private army."
There were about ten princes in the hall, and they were envious. They did not have such a large fiefdom, nor did they have so many private troops.
Some even have nothing at all, just such a title.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xiao Fan knelt down and said.
He was a little strange, why did Qin Zhentian grant him the title at this time? He originally estimated that Qin Xuan would grant him the title after he ascended the throne.
Qin Zhentian sent a message to Xiao Fan: "Xiao Fan, it was Xuan'er who asked me to grant you the title in advance. She said she didn't want you to kneel down and salute her."
Xiao Fan suddenly realized.
I see.
But actually it’s not a big deal to kneel down. Now he kneels down to Qin Xuan, and from now on Qin Xuan will kneel back down at night.
Qin Zhentian smiled lightly and said: "Mr. Xiao, since I have given you such a privilege, you don't need to kneel down in the future."
"Get flat."
Xiao Fan stood up.
"Xiao Guogong, congratulations!"
"Xiao Guogong, you will have to treat us to drinks when you arrive."
Everyone congratulated him and expressed their envy. It was great to have a strong backing. Xiao Fan, an ordinary person, became the Duke of the country at the age of twenty-two.
After a while, everyone stood up again.
"It is reported that Jiang Yuli and Nangong Suxin have entered the palace."
Qin Zhentian said.
Qin Zhentian had already ordered someone to take Jiang Yuli and the others to His Highness, and soon Jiang Yuli and Nangong Suxin entered the hall.
I saw many of them with surprise in their eyes.
Jiang Yuli and Nangong Suxin are already very good-looking. Recently, their cultivation has improved rapidly, and their appearance and temperament have also increased.
——Xiao Fan's paintings can also improve their appearance.
Today they also dressed up carefully.
"Greetings to Your Majesty."
Jiang Yuli and Nangong Suxin knelt down and said.
"Crown Princess Jiang Yuli, Crown Prince Liangdi Nangong Suxin, you were ordered by me to cooperate in acting. Your mission has been successfully completed. From now on, you are no longer the Crown Princess and Crown Prince Liangdi."
Qin Zhentian said.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Jiang Yuli and Nangong Suxin said.
Everyone was not surprised. Since Qin Xuan was a woman, Jiang Yuli and the others could not continue to be the Crown Princess Liang Di.
Qin Zhentian smiled and said: "You have made a lot of efforts in cooperating in this play. How about I reward your father?"
There is no need to reward Jiang Yuli and the others. Anyway, they will be with Xiao Fan when the time comes. If Xiao Fan's status is higher, they will be higher.
Now that their father has a high status, so do their status.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Jiang Yuli and Nangong Suxin said in unison.
Qin Zhentian looked at Jiang Shouzheng and Nangong Jin: "Jiang Shouzheng, Nangong Jin, I grant you the title of Duke of the country."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Jiang Shouzheng and Nangong Jin knelt down and said happily.
They also became the Duke of the country. They had no fiefdom and no private army, but they were very satisfied with being able to become the Duke of the country.
Otherwise, if Xiao Fan comes to propose marriage, and Xiao Fan's identity is the Duke of the country, do they still have to salute if their status is not as good as Xiao Fan's?
