Chapter 233 Father, Your Majesty, I Request You to Abdicate 48
After the coffin had been kept for seven days, the Silver Armor Guards, fully armed, closely escorted the coffin as it moved towards the ancestral land. Prince Chen accompanied him, and the Mo Ge Guards were also watching intently in the dark.
Su Qin followed the young master's footsteps and ascended the throne. He thought to himself that he would definitely remember His Majesty's instructions and protect His Majesty at all costs.
"Your Majesty, we are here to see you!" All the civil and military officials shouted in unison, their voices resounding through the sky. They knelt respectfully on the ground and performed the ceremony, but they dared not look directly at the emperor. They could only lower their heads and stare at the patterns on the hem of their clothes, waiting for His Majesty's decision.
"No need to bow." Jiuli lowered his eyes and looked at the ministers who were kneeling all over the hall and even outside the hall. No one was absent. His voice was clear and cold, revealing an irresistible majesty.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" All the ministers answered in unison and stood up.
I inadvertently looked up and caught a glimpse of the emperor above me, and couldn't help but sigh in my heart: Your Majesty is becoming more and more like the late emperor!
"Your Majesty, I have an important matter to consult with Your Majesty for your decision." The Minister of Rites walked to the middle, took out a prepared memorial from his wide sleeves, and held it above his head with both hands.
"The concubines of the late emperor should move to the Cining Palace to make way for your majesty's concubines." The tone was respectful.
Su Qin glanced at Xia Sheng behind her and saw Xia Sheng nodded. He walked down the steps, took the memorial from the Minister of Rites, then bent down and placed it on the table.
Then he quietly stepped aside. His eyes were cold and sharp, as if warning anyone not to act rashly.
Jiuli raised her hand and gently flipped through the memorial, her brows slightly furrowed, but her face showed no obvious emotion fluctuations.
"Your Majesty is in your twenties, at the prime of your life. You should be chosen to serve in the imperial court and continue the family line." A man stepped forward and said.
If Your Majesty is like the late Emperor, wouldn't they have to help a crying baby? Especially since Your Majesty is a woman, giving birth is a life-threatening situation, so what should they do?
"Let's discuss this later." "Selection?" "As a child, I should first observe three years of mourning for the late emperor. Do you want me to bear the name of being unfilial?" Minister of Rites? How courageous? !
The voice was light and indifferent, and no emotion could be heard. It floated down from above, making it seem even more oppressive and dangerous.
"I dare not," the man bowed slightly, as if he was sure of victory. Although he said he dared not, his tone was quite strong.
Which idiot sent this guy out to test Lin'an? Could he be an idiot? After a year, he still can't see that Lin'an is more powerful and tyrannical than his brother? Does he think that the nine clans are not enough to be exiled? ? King Jing lowered his eyes and glanced at the man from the corner of his eye.
Li Xian, the head of the civil officials, had a slightly changed look in his eyes, cursing in his heart, where did this fool come from? To persuade His Majesty in this way, isn't that courting death? Didn't he see that no one was moving?
Bei Ling'an took a step back silently. This matter had nothing to do with him. He didn't want to force himself to take the lead, not to mention how could he ruin his nephew's show? He happened to bump into Murong Yulan who was approaching. When they looked back, they both had the same look in their eyes.
"If you have something to report, please do so. If not, please dismiss the court." Su Qin shouted loudly.
As for the Minister of Rites in the middle, he was completely ignored.
“I have something to report. ‘The late emperor divided the country into nine states, and the Nine Cauldrons governed them.’ Please grant a name, Your Majesty.” The Minister of Revenue came out in a hurry, but before he could finish his words, he found that there was no one upstairs.
Is he not a human being? Touching the still warm memorial in his arms, the Minister of Revenue had a look of sorrow on his face. It was fine if His Majesty couldn't see him, but it shouldn't be possible that Eunuch Su couldn't see him either, right?
"Mr. Shangshu, His Majesty summons you to the North Palace for an audience." What Xia Sheng saw when he came back was the unpleasant face of the Minister of Revenue, as if someone owed him millions of taels of silver.
Beiyu Palace? The Minister of Revenue wondered in his heart, shouldn't His Majesty live in Jianzhang Palace? Although he was confused, he still followed obediently.
"Your Majesty, the Minister of Revenue has arrived." Xia Sheng took the mint drink from the palace maid and placed it on the table, saying softly.
"Announce." Sui Jiuli looked at the generals including Bei Ling'an and Murong Yulan, and said in a deep voice: "Do you take what you said seriously?" There was a smile on his face, but it made people shudder.
"Of course it is true. Your Majesty, please take a look." Bei Ling'an rolled up his sleeves neatly. Three wounds were neatly arranged, deep enough to see the bone. "I almost couldn't see Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, just as Prince Beijing said, I was attacked on my way back to the capital, but luckily I managed to escape." Murong Yulan stood up, a murderous look on his face, "We lost hundreds of our best soldiers."
When the Minister of Revenue walked in, he was frightened by several pairs of murderous eyes and took a step back. He felt a little safer only when he touched the memorial.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." The Minister of Revenue nodded to the generals as a sign of courtesy, and took out a memorial and held it in his palm.
"Please take a seat and bring it up." Jiuli's expression was unclear.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The Minister of Revenue sat down halfway cautiously, wondering in his heart, how could he listen to such confidential matters?
"The first day of the new year." Jiuli called softly.
A looming black figure appeared in the corner. Looking closely, it was somewhat transparent. Bei Lingan quickly stood up and stood in front of Jiuli, ready to die. Was this figure a human or a ghost? But his eyes were determined.
"Don't be afraid, Your Majesty." Bei Ling'an looked back and said. As for His Majesty's words "Chu Yi", Bei Ling'an perfectly ignored them.
Murong Yulan was holding a vase in his hand, staring at the man in black intently, ready to throw the vase at any time. Even the Minister of Revenue was holding a stool, as if he was facing a great enemy.
Chuyi was stunned. Was this to welcome him? He stumbled and rushed into the encirclement of Murong Yulan and others. Looking back, he saw Xia Sheng standing there with a tray.
"Well, sit down." Jiuli looked at the farce in front of her, feeling helpless. She knew the loyalty of these people. "He is my secret guard, sent by my father to protect me."
Xia Sheng's face flashed with embarrassment, he looked at the tray in his hand, and stepped back silently. At the same time, Bei Ling'an and Murong Yulan also sat down again, looking calm.
"We have been disrespectful in front of your Majesty and have offended Your Majesty. Please punish us." After sitting down, everyone came to their senses and apologized in unison.
"Forget it, innocent, sit down." Then, Jiuli's face was solemn, "These changes are good at the moment, Chuyi."
“Yes.” Chu Yi showed everyone expressionlessly how to perform a magic trick by making fire with his hands.
"Is this actually true?" Bei Ling'an rushed forward and poked Chuyi. Although he couldn't see anyone, Chuyi stood there without moving. If used in the army...
Murong Yulan turned his gaze to Jiuli who was sitting there drinking tea. This must be the work of His Majesty!
"I will announce it at the next morning court session."
Everyone seemed to have taken a reassurance pill. When they left the Beiyu Palace, they could no longer suppress the smiles on their faces. Li Xian certainly had no idea! After all, they won this time! His Majesty's first confidant must be him!
"There will be even greater changes in the court tomorrow." Who wouldn't want to cultivate immortality? "We should fully support His Majesty. Li Xian is the best at flattery."
I don't know which general proposed it, but everyone nodded.
