Five hundred and ninetieth IX The Emperor's Teacher
There was silence in Shenglong Hall, with many eyes intertwining and invisible pressure gathering from all directions.
Jiang Tong's breathing was slightly stagnant, and he raised his head and looked to his side. Luo Guan's calm face came into his eyes, and his heart immediately calmed down.
She stood up, walked to the main hall, and saluted respectfully, "Daughter Jiang Tong, congratulations to your father on his 100th birthday, and congratulations to your father!"
While talking, I offered birthday gifts.
A jade bottle lay quietly in her hand, and you could clearly see that it contained some kind of viscous liquid, emitting a radiant light.
Emperor Jiang's eyes fell, covering Jiang Tong, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he said, "What kind of birthday gift did the eldest princess prepare for me?"
Jiang Tong said respectfully, "Go back to my father, what is in this jade bottle is the innate dragon's blood. It comes from a great spiritual vein somewhere. It was created by heaven and earth to give birth to spirituality. It already transformed into a dragon. Later, due to unexpected changes, it transformed into a dragon."
When the road was cut off, this innate dragon blood was produced." .??.
"After taking it, it can strengthen the body's essence and repair the body, even if the soul is damaged. The effect is remarkable!"
Innate dragon blood?!
In the main hall, everyone's expressions changed slightly, showing surprise, and they looked at each other, as if they did not expect Jiang Tong to be able to take out such a precious thing. Transformation of spiritual veins into dragons is a legend, not to mention that real dragons have disappeared from the world, if the innate dragon blood is
Really, it is a rare treasure!
A bright light burst out in Jiang Huang's eyes, "Oh? This is the first time I've heard that there is also an innate dragon's blood thing. Bring it up to me for a look."
The chamberlain quickly stepped forward and took the jade bottle from Jiang Tong. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, he respectfully handed it to Emperor Jiang.
After opening the cork and taking a breath, Jiang Huang's eyes lit up and his face turned a little red, knowing that this thing was extraordinary.
"Haha! Okay, my eldest princess is interested. I like this gift very much!" Emperor Jiang laughed and held the jade bottle tightly.
In the main hall, the three princes had cryptic expressions and unwilling eyes. They knew that in this first wave of confrontation, Jiang Tong took the lead.
Sure enough, Emperor Jiang put away the jade bottle, paused briefly, and said, "I heard that the eldest princess was attacked and killed by treacherous officials and traitors on her way to the imperial palace, trying to attack me. Has your birthday party been properly handled?"
Jiang Tong said, "Reporting to my father, all the rebellious ministers and traitors have been killed. My daughter's ability to come to the imperial palace safely depends on Luo Guan's help." She paused, "Father, my daughter has a request. I hope you can order that Luo Guan be canonized.
My daughter’s teacher helps me solve my worries.”
Luo Guan frowned slightly. This was not in his plan. What was Jiang Tong doing?
But with a quick glance at the reactions from all parties in the hall, he vaguely guessed something - the battle for the succession of the throne. Although the fists were the best, it was also about one master's reputation. He wanted to help Jiang Tong sit on the throne of the Jiang Kingdom, so he
You need to have an identity to take action.
The eldest princess’s teacher is a good choice.
And this is also a statement and a test.
Emperor Jiang pondered for a moment, then nodded with a smile, "Okay, since the eldest princess has asked me, I should agree." His eyes fell, "Luo Guan, I wonder if you are willing to become the eldest princess's teacher and teach her for me from now on?"
Luo Guan figured out the key, stood up and handed her over, "The eldest princess Zhong Ling is handsome and is indeed the jewel of the Jiang Kingdom's royal family. Luo is willing to take up this position."
"Okay, then let's do that." Jiang Huang smiled and said nothing more.
After Jiang Tong thanked him, he stood up and looked at Luo Guan. A trace of discomfort flashed in his eyes, and he bowed immediately, "Jiang Tong, meet the teacher!"
"Eldest Princess, please get up." Luo Guan coughed lightly and tried to remain calm, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Am I going to become the emperor's master?
Next, the birthday banquet went smoothly, with various fine wines and delicacies served, and the palace maidens dancing gracefully to the sound of wind instruments.
There is mist rising, like a fairyland.
The banquet is over.
Emperor Jiang smiled slightly and said, "This is my 100th birthday banquet.
I have something to announce." He paused slightly and glanced at the faces of the three princes. There was a flash of excitement and a bit of gloom in his heart. He continued calmly, "I am getting older and my energy is not as good as before.
To avoid delaying state affairs, I want to establish myself as the crown prince and succeed Jiang Guozuo."
"Jiang Jin, Jiang Mu, Jiang Sheng...Jiang Tong, my three princes, and the most cherished eldest princess, are all of great beauty and have the potential to inherit the great power. I want to imitate the previous emperors and open up the Jiangguo Longxing Blessed Land
, take the Jade Seal of the Kingdom as a test, four princes and princesses will join together, and the one who returns holding the Jade Seal of the Kingdom can be named the Crown Prince or the Crown Princess."
There was silence in the main hall.
All parties have known for a long time that Emperor Jiang has arranged for today. At this moment, he is watching his mouth and nose and will not express his position on this.
Your Majesty can say that he is getting old and is preparing to appoint a successor, but it is best for others not to say it, or even mention it a word.
Jiang Jin, Jiang Mu, Jiang Sheng and Jiang Tong knelt on the ground at the same time, saying that their father was in the prime of his life and that this could not be done.
Jiang Huang just smiled, turned around and said, "Queen, what do you think?"
The stunningly beautiful and unparalleled empress, she bowed her head docilely and said respectfully, "I am a woman, and I regard myself as your majesty. I will abide by any decision you make."
"Okay, the empress is virtuous, which is my blessing and the blessing of the Jiang Kingdom!" Emperor Jiang laughed, "Then the matter will be decided like this."
"Tomorrow at noon, I will personally preside over the sacrificial ceremony, open the Longxing Blessed Land, and send the four princes and the princess into it."
"The inheritance of the Jiang Kingdom and the future ownership of the throne will be yours to fight for. I don't care about the process, I only care about the results."
After a cough, Emperor Jiang was the first to retreat with the support of the queen.
In the blink of an eye, the three princes in the main hall were surrounded by everyone. The courtiers had shown their loyalty to His Majesty before, but in fact they had already made their choice.
In comparison, there was no one around Jiang Tong. Even if Luo Guan took action today, he would directly Even though she has established a prestigious position, not many people think highly of Her Royal Highness.
After all, there are only a handful of people who have a female emperor ascending the throne to rule the world. Looking at the world, there are only a handful of them. After all, this is still a world where men are the king!
But, that's not always the case.
"Your Majesty, Zhou Chen, pays homage to Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess!" An important official from the imperial court walked up to him and bowed, his face full of respect.
Jiang Tong smiled and nodded, "Mr. Zhou, on the day I opened my palace, you gave me a jasper screen. The carving was very exquisite and I liked it very much."
Zhou Chen smiled, "It is my honor to be liked by His Highness."
Some things and some words don't need to be said too much, they are too straightforward.
A look and a few casual conversations are enough.
Zhou family, here is the webmaster princess!
For a while, it attracted a lot of eyes, and there was a brief hesitation. After hesitation, several more courtiers came over and bowed.
Most of them are close to the Zhou family, either as disciples, or blood relatives, etc. Although I don't know why Mr. Zhou bet on the eldest princess, the faction flag has made a choice. Unless they choose to separate and withdraw, they can only follow forward.
Jiang Tong smiled brightly and talked with everyone, but his eyes turned to Luo Guan, who was standing outside the crowd.
She knew very well that the reason why she was able to gain the approval of the Zhou family and join the team was most likely because of Zhou Shan.
The root lies in Luo Guan.
The eldest prince, second prince, third prince and other three parties watched this scene with cold eyes, each with a bit of coldness in their eyes.
After leaving the main hall, Jiang Tong made no secret of his closeness. He took Luo Guan's arm, said goodbye to everyone with a smile and boarded the carriage.
When the car door closed, she blushed slightly and whispered, "As a teacher, you only talk to others, you can't do anything!"
How could she call her Teacher Luo Guan? No, absolutely not!
