Xiang Ning looked at Xiang Chong in horror.
She never imagined that her brother, who had reunited after a long separation, would threaten her in the first word! ?
Xiang Chong seemed to think she had been fooled, and a victorious smile appeared on his lips.
Xiang Chong suddenly knelt on the ground again and kowtowed to the Queen Mother behind the bead curtain!
"Mother, my son is back."
"Okay... okay! The emperor is back, please get back on your feet."
The Empress Dowager, who had been listening to politics behind the curtain, opened the curtain for the first time and looked at Xiang Chong.
The Queen Mother's face showed excitement, and there were faint tears in the corners of her eyes.
Man Chao Wenwu and Xiang Ning can feel the deep love between mother and son between these two people.
Xiang Ning closed her eyes in pain and said nothing.
She didn't know what she was feeling at the moment.
envy?
Lost?
There must be some.
The Queen Mother showed her affection for Xiang Chong, which was far better than her usual attitude towards Xiang Ning.
Even, with Xiang Chong's return, Xiang Ning actually feels like a superfluous outsider?
After talking about the love between mother and son, the Queen Mother lowered the bead curtain and hid behind the scenes.
But Xiang Chong stood beside the dragon chair with his head held high!
His muscular body and dazzling golden armor and sword made Xiang Ning sitting on the dragon chair look extremely small and had no sense of existence!
The officials of the Great Chu looked at Xiang Chong with doubtful eyes, wondering what the newly appointed regent minister planned to do.
Eunuch Chen, the chief eunuch, suddenly sang:
"All officials, civil and military, kneel down to the regent and ministers!"
Everyone was in an uproar!
Even Xiang Ning was stunned!
You know, this is the imperial palace, the main hall where the emperor goes to court.
According to the law, all civil and military officials can only kneel to the emperor!
Even though Fan Li was so powerful and all the officials knelt and kowtowed to Fan Li, they would never be so blatant.
"Eunuch Chen, we and Lord Xiang are in the same palace as ministers. How can we kneel down to him?" Someone asked dissatisfiedly.
Eunuch Chen sneered and replied: "That's not right. You are all subjects of Chu, that is, scholar-bureaucrats. But the great prince is different. He is our regent and minister of Chu, that is, the king! Scholar-bureaucrats and princes can be compared. ?"
As he spoke, Eunuch Chen exuded a murderous aura from his body!
Including those who protested just now, all the courtiers were shrouded in murderous aura, and they were so silent that they no longer dared to raise any objections.
"Fan Li, what are you doing, you dead guy? Is it interesting to practice physical training in seclusion every day? You are about to give up your power!"
Xiang Ning scolded Fan Li a hundred and eighty times in his heart!
However, at this moment, she desperately hoped that Fan Li could appear in front of her and protect her from the wind and rain.
Among the civil and military officials, some finally could not withstand the pressure and hesitantly knelt down to worship Xiang Chong.
Those who did not kneel were mostly officials from Fan Li's line.
"oh?"
Xiang Chong smiled.
"Aren't you too arrogant? Eunuch Chen?"
Eunuch Chen also smiled and said: "Prince Regent, don't worry about this little thing. Your Excellencies just forgot how to kneel down. I will wake them up now."
The next second, Eunuch Chen flashed in front of a military general like a ghost.
He planned to repeat the previous scene and destroy the general in front of him just like he did with Guo Ling!
"The "Laws of Chu" contains records that when a minister commits a crime, he will be examined by the court captain, and then reported to the emperor, who will be convicted according to the law."
"The "Laws of Chu" also states that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics."
"The harem refers to the queen mother, empress and concubines."
"As for the eunuchs, maids, etc., they are actually the slaves of the royal family. When do they have the right to offend the scholar-bureaucrats of Chu State?"
A loud and confident voice came from outside the palace.
The person who came seemed to be reciting poetry, with clear words and a leisurely tone.
Xiang Ning almost jumped up from the dragon chair when he heard this extremely familiar voice!
She had never been so happy for the arrival of this person, but at this moment she even felt happy!
Xiang Chong's expression changed.
He was the only person in the court whose identity he could not identify, but he guessed the identity of the person from Eunuch Chen's halting figure.
Duke Jin of Great Chu, Fan Li!
Fan Li walked into the palace with a leisurely pace, as if he was walking in his own backyard.
Almost everyone present could feel his weak body-refining-level strength, but they could also strangely feel his strong self-confidence!
Chu Lv?
Fan Li is a representative figure who deceives the emperor and wields power. It is somewhat funny for him to preach the laws of Chu.
But Fan Li said it so openly, it was like slapping Eunuch Chen in the face!
The old eunuch had indeed been a slave all his life. Fan Li used Chu Lu to sarcastically say, but there was no trace of embarrassment on the old eunuch's face.
On the contrary, he bowed respectfully to Fan Li, then hunched over and stood back to his seat carefully.
Eunuch Chen is so 'sensible' not only because of the Fan family's power in Chu State.
The most important thing is Fan Chun who came with Fan Li.
Huben Zhonglang General Fan Chun, in addition to commanding the capital's 100,000 garrison, he also had extremely high levels of cultivation.
Fan Chun, who is at the ninth level of the Divine Transformation Realm, has a glorious record of leapfrogging and killing first-level masters of the Hedao Realm!
Eunuch Chen is also a master in the Hedao realm, but he has absolutely no interest in fighting Fan Chun.
After all, it was more than half a year ago that Fan Chun leapt to kill Hedao Realm. Who can guarantee that in the past six months, Fan Chun will not go further and advance to the Hedao realm?
"Are you Fan Li? The prime minister of my great state of Chu?"
Xiang Chong spoke.
He looked Fan Li up and down, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes.
Xiang Chong didn't take Fan Li's words to persuade Eunuch Chen to retreat too seriously.
After all, he returned to Pengcheng as a strong supporter, a powerful supporter of the Queen Mother, rather than relying on the Queen Mother's protection to earn a living.
"Yes, I am Fan Li."
Fan Li also looked at Xiang Chong, as if appreciating his strange outfit.
The Overlord Armor has been stored in the imperial treasury for thousands of years and is rarely invited out. Fan Li has not seen it a few times.
As for the Sword of King Huai, Fan Li had never seen it before.
"Very good." Xiang Chong nodded: "From now on, I will be the regent, so you should assist me!"
His tone was full of confidence, as if what he said was taken for granted.
Fan Li smiled.
"Me? Assist you?"
He deliberately glanced at Xiang Ning again, as if his eyes were saying: When I don't go to court, will you be bullied by others like this?
Xiang Ning's cheeks were slightly red and he lowered his head, embarrassed to look at Fan Li.
But her panic at the moment was gone, and instead she was a bit like a crowd watching, looking forward to how Fan Li would deal with Xiang Chong.
"What? Do you dare to question me?"
Xiang Chong raised his voice as if to show off his power.
"I am the direct disciple of the Lihuo Sect Master, with a third-level cultivation in the Nascent Soul Stage. I am also the biological brother of His Majesty, Noble Tianhuang..."
Fan Li waited for him to finish, but just smiled and said nothing.
Fan Li's smile inexplicably made Xiang Chong feel guilty.
"Where is the deputy Zongzheng!" Fan Li said suddenly.
It was because of Zongzheng Liban's petition that it paved the way for Xiang Chong to enter the court.
Not long after Fan Li came to court, he suddenly shouted "Vice Zong Zheng".
After hearing this, all civil and military officials in the court felt extremely at ease.
It turns out that everything is still under the control of Duke Jin...
