Chapter 949
In the Golden Palace of the Nine Sky God Dynasty, today's dynasty, there are tensions in the court.
At this time, there were hundreds of civil and military officials in the Golden Palace, divided into three groups, less than one-third of which belonged to the royal family, and the rest were Xue Zhentian and Feng Yuan's confidants. This shows how important the two people are in the court.
In addition, the entire palace guards were also controlled by Xue Zhentian and Feng Yuan. The only ones in the palace who finally had the royal family were the private soldiers of the royal family. Although they were all powerful, they were only less than 300 people.
Emperor Xiao Zhan sat on the dragon throne and golden seat, swept over Xue Zhentian and Feng Yuan in the hall, and said coldly: "General Xue, Prime Minister Feng Yuan, this is a great dynasty, what? Have you even forgotten the etiquette and rules?"
Although the royal family is weak, Xiao Zhan, as the heroic lord who has been in charge of the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty for many years, is not weak at all.
If it were in the past, if Xiao Zhan said this, Feng Yuan and Xue Zhentian might have been afraid, but today is the time for them to show up with the Xiao family, so they would not be scared by Xiao Zhan's words.
Besides, although Xiao Zhan is the Nine-Star Martial Emperor and is on the Heavenly List, Xue Zhentian and Feng Yuan are not weak either. They are both Nine-Star Martial Emperors. Even if they are not as high as Xiao Zhan on the Heavenly List, they are definitely not afraid of him even if they join forces.
The most important thing is that they have foreign players today.
Xue Zhen stood there in heaven, glanced at Xiao Zhan, who was sitting on the dragon throne, and said in a plain tone: "Haha, Your Majesty, I am the general of the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty. It can be seen that the Holy One does not kneel. Why, Your Majesty the Emperor wants to deprive me of my privilege?"
Feng Yuan also smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister is always a veteran of two dynasties. Now that he is old, he is really unable to salute. Please understand your majesty's difficulties!"
The words of the two made Xiao Zhan's face extremely gloomy.
Xue Zhentian said it right. He was a general of the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty. He made great contributions to the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty. With such great achievements, there were naturally some privileges. It was one of the privileges that Xiao Zhan granted him without having to pay tribute to him when he saw the saint.
But privilege can only be regarded as a kind of glory. The emperor can promise you, but you must not take it seriously. Otherwise, the impeachment memorial of Chinese civil servants in the court can bury you. This is a pure usurpation.
Although Xue Zhentian had such privileges in the past, he could still salute on a solemn occasion like the Great Dynasty. Today, he directly used privileges to speak out, which could no longer be described as arrogant. This is simply a provocation.
If Xue Zhentian’s reason is still a matter of time, then Feng Yuan is simply looking for trouble.
What do you mean when you are old and weak? You are just relying on your seniority. Although Feng Yuan is very old, he is still a powerful man of the Nine Star Martial Emperor. How could he feel tired even if he treats a tribute? Didn’t you give the five daughters of Ye Yu last night?
Xue Zhentian and Feng Yuan's presumptuousness also aroused the dissatisfaction of the civil and military officials who were loyal to the Xiao family, and they all stood up to impeach them.
"Your Majesty, I will report that Xue Zhentian and Feng Yuan's failure to ceremonies in front of the palace is a serious crime. Please punish him severely!"
"Your Majesty, I will report that Xue Zhentian and the other two despise the power of heaven and wantonly transgress. According to the law, they should be punished with extreme punishment. Please punish him severely."
"Your Majesty, the old minister impeached Xue Feng and the others, blocked the imperial capital without authorization, and intended to rebel. Please punish him severely."
"His Majesty……"
...
More than twenty civil officials and military generals who were loyal to the Xiao family had already stood up in just a few minutes, and each of them demanded the death penalty for Xue and Feng. The crimes they committed were indeed very serious.
But soon, the voices of these people were suppressed by the voices of more ministers loyal to Xue Zhentian and Feng Yuan.
"Your Majesty, the General enjoys privileges. It is indeed within privileges that the failure to perform rituals in front of the palace. This is Your Majesty's promise and is not considered a usurpation."
"Your Majesty, Old Prime Minister Feng has worked hard and made great contributions and is old. It is normal for him to be unable to perform rituals. Please forgive me!"
"Your Majesty, we ask for the General and the Prime Minister, and ask your Majesty to forgive them."
"Your Majesty, General Xue blocked the imperial capital to strictly investigate spies. There is nothing wrong with the duties."
...
In just a few breaths, forty or fifty officials stood up to plead for Feng Yuan and Xue Zhentian. They were all old officials in the officialdom, so naturally they knew that this time was the time to stand firm and not neglect each.
Seeing more than two-thirds of the ministers in the court surrendered to Xue Zhentian and Feng Yuan, Xiao Zhan, sitting on the dragon throne, had a very cold face. These are all important officials who have been favored by the king in the world! Now they are all rebels.
Feng Yuan and Xue Zhentian stood in the court with a proud sneer on their faces, as if they were demonstrating to Xiao Zhan again.
At this time, a sudden sound suddenly sounded in the hall, causing the entire Golden Palace to fall into tranquility in an instant.
"Your Majesty, I have a memorial report. General Xue has made great achievements in expanding territory for the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty. Please give him the title of King of Chu!"
"Prime Minister Feng Yuan served in two dynasties and devoted himself to the stability and strength of the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty. I would like to promote him to King of Wei!"
As soon as he spoke, the whole house was shocked.
The incredible eyes of all the civil and military officials in the court were now concentrated on the official in the center of the hall.
This official is Fang Chong, the Minister of Rites!
Since its establishment, the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty has never been granted a king of a different surname, even the royal family is a child. There are very few who have given a king of a different surname. Since Xiao Zhan ascended the throne, he has never given a throne. Now Fang Chong advises to grant Xue and Feng the king, which is a pity!
Xiao Zhan looked at Fang Chong with a cold face and said in a cold voice: "Fang Chong, do you know what you are talking about?"
Fang Chong stood in the center of the Golden Palace, facing Xiao Zhan’s questioning, but he did not show any timidity. Instead, he said with a righteous saying: “Your Majesty, what I said is from the heart, and the two adults are indeed worthy of such rewards.
As the Minister of Rites, I must uphold the etiquette and laws of the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty. The two great masters have made great contributions. If Your Majesty does not reward you, it may cause the hearts of all the civil and military officials of the court and will also attract criticism from the world. Please think twice."
Xiao Zhan stared at Fang Chong with cold eyes and gritted his teeth and said, "What if I don't seal it?"
Fang Chong immediately knelt on the ground and said with a righteous spirit: "If the lord is not virtuous, I would like to ask Your Majesty to abdicate and give him the wise, and I will give him advice to you if I die!"
After Fang Chong said this, Xiao Zhan truly understood that he was not trying to be kings for Xue Feng and the other two. From the very beginning, he knew that he would not be crowned by these two kings of different surnames.
He just wanted to find an excuse to force himself to abdicate and give way to the wise.
The so-called master is famous. Even if Xue and Feng force the palace to force him to have an excuse, and Fang Chong is the excuse they found.
Although this excuse is very clumsy, at least the purpose has been achieved.
After Fang Chong finished speaking, dozens of officials in the court immediately stood up and said in unison: "I will discuss it!"
