How could Duke Lu care about so much? He quickly made a way and sent Jiang Fengchuan to the main seat: "The supervisor has a distinguished position, so he naturally has to sit at the top. Please come quickly, sir!"
In his eyes, it was a blessing to be able to survive in the court safely.
not good.
Pei Qi secretly thought something was wrong and her eyes were locked on Jiang Fengchuan, but at this time she was unable to stop him and could only watch Jiang Fengchuan walk up.
Although these ministers would not have much influence on Jiang Fengchuan's succession, they could save them some unnecessary trouble.
These people don't have much power in their hands, but they are more powerful than they are in numbers.
Perhaps after completing this step, the imperial capital will change.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Fengchuan had already sat down, while Lu Guogong casually found a seat in the middle, pulling Lu Annuan to hide aside, not daring to show his anger.
In the originally bustling scene, everyone calmed down a little because of Jiang Fengchuan's arrival, and there was an eerie silence above the main hall.
But the initiator of the whole thing moved his chopsticks with great ease from that high position.
"Eat, Duke Lu is hosting a banquet today, what are you guys doing watching me?" Seeing that everyone was reluctant to move their chopsticks, Jiang Fengchuan pretended to urge them, pretending to be magnanimous.
However, true magnanimity is not just an act.
Pei Qi sneered secretly.
Jiang Fengchuan, you want to put pressure on the ministers, but I just can't do what you want.
Pei Qi sat forward, bringing himself closer to the table. He reached out and picked up the chopsticks on the table, and inadvertently bumped into the dishes, making a crisp clanking sound.
It seemed particularly abrupt in the deserted scene.
And disrespectful.
But Pei Qi didn't care. He grabbed a spoon with his other hand, scooped himself a bowl of soup, and drank it with relish.
She deliberately made her voice loud to attract the attention of everyone present, so that they no longer only stared at Jiang Fengchuan.
"Well... Mr. Lu Guogong, the banquet you organized is really good. The food is delicious and the soup is delicious. I have been hungry all day, and I finally have something to eat." While eating, Pei Qi did not forget to give Lu Guogong a bundle. He gave it a thumbs up, and then put it into his mouth one bite at a time with enjoyment.
The banquet started not too early tonight, and almost all the people who came here were hungry, but because Jiang Fengchuan, the supervisor, suddenly barged in, they hadn't even eaten a few bites yet.
Who dares to make a mistake in front of Jiang Fengchuan?
But now it's better. With Pei Qi as the first person, he can ease the tense atmosphere in the hall a little with a few words, and then some people start eating one after another.
Seeing this, Duke Lu Guo cast a grateful look and quickly flattered: "Madam, you are happy with your meal. This banquet will not be in vain. Let's all have a try, eat, eat!"
When Duan Qianjun saw this, he shook his head with a smile, and pretended to take a few bites of the small bowl and plate in front of him.
This little girl didn't save any face for Jiang Fengchuan.
Just like before in the court, he obviously didn't make any preparations, but he wanted to make the dissident a little unhappy with his words.
This bad habit has not been changed to this day.
Rong Qinke is sitting right behind her. After all, she is also the wife of Rong Qin Mingyang. Are you really going to go against him like this?
Jiang Fengchuan also looked at Pei Qi at this time. His hand holding the chopsticks paused slightly, and his eyes became fierce.
But because she was Rong Qin's wife, Jiang Fengchuan couldn't say anything, so he could only move his eyes to Rong Qin behind her and look at him in confusion.
As if to say, what does your wife mean?
Rong Qin also didn't expect that the first person to stand out would be Pei Qi, who was sitting beside him and had always been honest. There was a little complexity in his deep eyes, and he couldn't help but frown: "Didn't you just eat it? A plate of apricot cake, are you still hungry now?"
Is this woman a pig? So edible.
"I'm hungry, how can a plate of apricot cake be enough? I'm a patient now, so I need to eat more." Pei Qi shook his head triumphantly, enjoying the meal.
What a joke, is she eating vegetables? What she eats is his majesty, Jiang Fengchuan!
Although each of these courtiers was more afraid of death, she was Pei Qi. Even if he lost his original status, Jiang Fengchuan could not get a single advantage from her.
How could it be so easy to scare these ministers into obeying your words?
but……
She seemed to have eaten too much.
So supportive!
But even so, all she can do is to show off the limelight, and the rest...
For these people sitting here, she could only place her hope on Duan Qianjun, hoping that he could do something useful.
Even if the final result cannot be prevented, these ministers must at least know that even though Jiang Fengchuan has great power, it is not so easy to succeed.
In this fragmented court, there are still people who are trying their best to stop this.
Rong Qin rubbed his eyebrows and saw that Pei Qi still had no intention of restraining himself, so he ignored him.
It's almost time.
Rong Qin turned the folding fan in his hand and knocked twice on the table intentionally or unintentionally. Then he winked at Jiang Fengchuan and slowly spoke.
"Everyone, have you eaten?" He stood up, opened the folding fan in his hand, walked around the table and took two steps forward, scanning everyone present one by one: "Today is originally Lu Guogong's family banquet, so it stands to reason that To tell the truth, I shouldn’t mention the next thing here, but the situation is urgent, so I hope you will bear with me.”
"Now that the late emperor has passed away, the prince's poisoning case is full of doubts. The country cannot be without a king for a day, and the new emperor's accession to the throne is imminent. I wonder if you have a favorite candidate in your mind?"
As soon as these remarks came out, even a fool understood the meaning of Rong Qin's painting.
He wanted Jiang Fengchuan to proclaim himself emperor.
But Jiang Fengchuan's cruelty is well known to everyone here, even ordinary people. How can he afford to be the new emperor?
Although they were reluctant in every way, but now that Jiang Fengchuan was right in front of them, attending such a banquet with guards, it was self-evident what the meaning was.
"this……"
The courtiers present looked at each other with confusion on their faces, not knowing what to do.
Rong Qin had long expected that they would react like this, and he raised the corners of his mouth with full control: "Since you don't have any good candidates in mind, you might as well listen to the truth's opinion."
"Master Jianguo was once the third son of the late emperor. He made many military exploits and held military power. Not long ago, the late emperor passed away. Jianguo handled government affairs on his behalf. Everyone saw his ability. I believe that the new emperor's The candidate, Lord Supervisor... is the perfect candidate."
"Of course, if you have any opinions, you might as well put them forward here. I think the candidate for the new emperor in your mind will not be His Highness the Second, who is traveling far away, nor His Highness the Fourth, who is suffering from a stubborn illness, nor will it be The prince is in prison, right?"
