This is where the emperor used to deal with memorials, and it is also where the eldest princess now conducts official business. Discussing here means that this is a political matter that can be made public later.
As soon as King You heard that the meeting place was here, he knew that the other party was coming fiercely.
In the Daming Hall, the eldest princess Ji Lingguang is sitting behind the royal table at the end. Below and to the left, Tianxuan is sitting on a Taishi chair. The same chair opposite is empty, reserved for King You.
As for the others, even the old head of the Meng family, who ranks among the three nobles, has to stand and loses the treatment he received during the last discussion.
Under Tianxuan, the leader was a middle-aged Confucian scholar with a high official title. His Confucian robe was incompatible with the other officials, standing out from the crowd like a chicken, facing the old head of the Meng family on the other side.
When King You saw this man, his heart sank slightly.
‘Taishi ordered Xiao Zhi, Taixue once again sided with Tianxuan...’
Among the three ministers and nine ministers in the court, Fengchang, also known as Taichang, is the most special because this position is held concurrently by the imperial scholar and the minister of wine, and he is the only one of the third rank. Although he is the ninth minister, his right to speak is still ordinary.
Among the three princes, only the head of the Jiang family who serves as Sikong is considered to be a head above him.
Because the head of the Jiang family is another third grade, and he is also the head of the Jiang family who jointly controls the country.
Under Taichang, six orders were set up to assist Taichang in taking charge of the etiquette and sacrifices of the country. This aspect had little impact on the general situation of the Zhou Dynasty, but it was a top priority for the royal family. There were three positions: Taibu, Dazai, and Taizhu.
They are all handled by members of the Ji family and directly intervene.
As for Taishi and Taile, they are held by students of Taixue Jijiu. As for the imperial doctor order, it is relatively unimportant. Those with excellent medical skills are selected to serve.
Theoretically speaking, Taishi Ling and Taile Ling can be selected by Taixue's sacrificial wine, but in fact... In order to show that Taixue is not really free from the court, Taishi Ling and Taile Ling are chosen by Taixue.
Two fourth-grade experts from Taixue are in charge.
Why did Taishi Ling Xiao Zhi dare to confront the head of the Meng family, one of the three princes, because he was also a fourth-rank man, and he also represented the Taixue in offering wine.
With the Imperial College offering wine and standing by Tianxuan's side, it was equivalent to two third-level officials joining forces. The rest of the courtiers lowered their eyebrows and looked like clay sculptures, not daring to come forward to compete with Tianxuan.
However, with the arrival of King You, the atmosphere began to become more active.
All kinds of eyes from the left and right fell on King You. Tianxuan, who was sitting, also looked at it and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness is here. I am about to send someone to invite His Highness."
King You strode forward and sat directly on the opponent's Grand Master's chair. His face no longer looked downcast as before, but instead became solemn.
"I heard that the Jiang family's criminal branches want to return to the capital of God?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, King You decided on the separation of the family and said in a cold voice: "The head of the Jiang family just moved out of the divine capital, but it is not dead. When will it be the turn of the separation family to take charge?"
While speaking, King You looked at Tianxuan with deep meaning. This branch of the family was referring to the Jiang family, and he did not mean to refer to the Gongsun family.
Although there is no distinction between the Ji family and the Gongsun family, the responsibilities of the two parties have long been distinguished. The Gongsun family has no power to interfere in the government affairs.
Moreover, the reason for the attack was so appropriate that even the old head of the Meng family, Meng Jun, had to secretly praise it.
Directly labeling the separation of the family as a rebellion would eliminate the possibility of Jiang Li ascending to the throne. As for the incompatible conflict between the Ji family and the Jiang family...
Don't say anything that is not conducive to unity.
No matter what the actual situation is, at least the Ji family and the Jiang family are allies on the surface, so there is no contradiction.
The moment he opened his mouth, he was very aggressive and pointed directly at the key points, and the atmosphere immediately became lively.
However, Tianxuan remained calm, tapping her flawless jade-like fingers lightly on the armrest, and said with a slight smile: "Yes, how can the person who caused trouble take the decision? The head of the Jiang family secretly returned to Jiuzhou to connect with the Buddhist kingdom.
Abandoning the country, fortunately Jiang Li, the branch of the family, understood the righteousness well and did not join in the evil deeds of the master's family. He united all branches of the branch family and took steps to bring order out of chaos."
"It is truly a great blessing for our court to have such a capable person. It is truly a blessing for this palace to have such a good disciple."
King You was able to grasp the key points, and Tianxuan did not give in too much. He clarified the behavior of the head of the Jiang family and labeled him as a troublemaker. If the head of the family has no righteousness, it is natural for the branch family to take over. King You's argument is self-defeating.
.
"Now Jiang Li is fighting against the Taiping Sect in Liangzhou. After the Taiping Sect's rebellion is settled, Jiang Li can renew the covenant with the clan as the head of the Jiang family and expel those rebels from the Jiang clan. In this way, the clan will also be able to
There is no need to tie our hands and feet because of the oaths made in the past."
Tianxuan spoke slowly, and the information contained in his words moved many people.
Among the courtiers present, Tai Bu Ling, Tai Zhu Ling, and Da Zai Ling were all members of the Ji family, and the newly appointed Zong Zheng was naturally the elder of the Ji family. After Tianxuan said this, even the Ji family who disliked the Jiang family
The die-hards are also starting to get tempted.
After revising the oath and eradicating the main family of the Jiang family, the remaining branch families are just some small figures, and only Jiang Li is considered a person.
Not to mention other people, King You was a little tempted.
But he still suppressed this thought forcefully.
This is a proposal given by Tianxuan as the opposing party. Ji may benefit, but Tianxuan and Jiang Li will definitely benefit even more.
And now Tu Bo is cooperating with Tianjun, if the plan goes well...
'Rather than find another ally to constrain you, it is better to completely break the oath of heaven.'
With such thoughts flashing through his mind, King You said calmly: "Where is the evidence? Without conclusive evidence, I cannot tolerate slander against the Jiang family."
At this moment, King You is the Jiang family’s die-hard ally, dedicated to the stability of the Jiang family.
No matter what——
"Master Manjusri from the Buddhist country was a member of the Jiang family before he became a monk. Recently, he used clever tricks to steal the magic whip from Yuxu Temple."
Tianxuan's voice was also calm, but the words she spoke made King You's heart suddenly sink, "Others may not know about the ability to strike the magic whip, but you King You don't know it, right? Or do you believe that Manjusri stole the whip?"
Is the divine whip just for fun?"
King You's expression changed.
The divine whip may have no effect in the hands of others, but if it is placed in the hands of a specific person, it can pose a huge threat to practitioners of the divine path, especially those whose original owners belong to the heavenly realm.
Tianxuan presented evidence, and King You could unilaterally deny the evidence, but now she presented threats, and no matter how much she denied, she could not change the threat posed by the Jiang family.
Originally, he thought that the Jiang family was a bunch of bereaved dogs. Without the third rank, even the ocher whip and the Shennong cauldron were gone, it was nothing to worry about. However, he did not expect that the Jiang family had done a big job without saying a word.
King You didn't want to believe that this was done by the Jiang family, but he had to guard against it.
"I've finished my words. Regarding Jiang's return to the Capital of Gods, who is in favor and who is against it?"
Tianxuan looked at the change in King You's face, clapped her hands gently, and said to the Gonggun gathered here: "This matter is originally a private matter of the clan and the Jiang family, but after all it involves the position of the three princes, I think
, we still need to listen to the opinions of everyone."
After the words fell, someone stood up and said loudly: "The Jiang family leader is very promising at a young age. He took charge of the Dinghu faction and shook up the army at a young age. He also made several contributions to the court. My mentor once met the Jiang family leader.
, marveling that this is a dragon among men, not a thing in a pond. Regarding the return of the Jiang family to the capital, and the head of the Jiang family as Sikong, my minister Yang Yan seconded his opinion. "
"Yang Yan, Mr. Hui'an's student..."
They were all acquaintances who were qualified to participate in the court meeting, and they knew their respective backgrounds quite well. As soon as Yang Yang finished speaking, someone thought of Zhu Hui'an, who had served as a doctor of the Five Classics of Taixue.
Among the people present, many had a deep friendship with Zhu Hui'an, and some even studied under Zhu Hui'an.
Yang Yan used Zhu Huian's signature, which immediately aroused many people's thoughts.
Not everyone in the court was against Jiang Li, there were still many people who were neutral. Zhu Hui'an had a very high reputation among these courtiers. Once he expressed his stance, people immediately followed him.
"My minister Lin Qiran seconded the proposal."
"My minister Yu An seconded the proposal."
······
Several people came out before and after to decisively second the proposal. They were all people who were deeply favored by Zhu Hui'an, either his students or his friends.
However, there were still many people who did not come forward to observe Taishi Ling Xiao Zhi's actions.
Under the gaze of overt or covert eyes, Xiao Zhi finally walked to the center, saluted, and said loudly: "On behalf of the family master, I, Xiao Zhi, approve of the new head of the Jiang family, Jiang Lijin, taking the position of Sikong."
Seeing Xiao Zhi, who was offering wine on behalf of the Imperial Academy, the others immediately said in unison: "I second the proposal."
Meng Jun, the old head of the Meng family and one of the three masters, saw this and knew that there was nothing he could do to stop it. He then said, "Old minister Meng Jun, second the proposal."
As a result, most of the courtiers present agreed, including even two members of the Ji family, Tai Bu Ling and Da Zai Ling.
King You's face gradually darkened. He wanted to object, but he also knew that there was nothing he could do to save his life.
Tianxuan not only wants to stop Yin Lusi, she also wants to get the position of Sikong for Jiang Li. It can be said that she wants both and wants, and is extremely greedy.
However, neither King You nor Tubo could go directly to Liangzhou to join the war just because they could not stop Tianxuan. They still had to be wary of Tianxuan attacking Yinlusi... No, they also had to be wary of Taixue.
A Tianxuan, even if he takes action, with Tu Bo around, he can be guaranteed to be fine, but if there is also an imperial scholar, Mo Yiling...
Tubo may have great strength and be able to block the offensive of the two third-level combatants, but Yin Lusi cannot.
If there is a third-level war, Yinlu Division will most likely not be able to survive.
Therefore, even though he strongly disagreed, King You still suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "In that case, let Mrs. Jiang come back."
After saying that, he stood up and walked away.
Afterwards, the eldest princess made a final decision and announced that the new head of the Jiang family would be the third Duke of Jin Dynasty and enjoy the power to open the mansion. He would not be famous for his praises and homage, and he would enter the court without hesitation and wear swords and shoes in the palace.
The power to open the mansion is in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is a real treatment of kings and nobility. As for the three-piece suit at the end, it is a treatment that no kings and nobility can enjoy. This in itself is a manifestation of the pursuit of imperial power by the ministers. The founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty
Since then, only the head of the Jiang family can own it.
The eunuch beside him immediately drafted the decree and passed it on all the way.
And the news from the palace quickly spread throughout the city, including a mansion in the upper city of the city.
Yang Yan came here as soon as he left the palace, entered the mansion by familiar routes, and walked to the back garden.
A middle-aged Confucian scholar was reading books in a garden pavilion and watching the spring scenery.
"teacher."
Yang Yan stepped forward to salute, and explained in detail what happened in the Daming Palace. Finally, he focused on the reactions of the courtiers.
"I seconded the proposal after seeing Junior Brother Xiao Zhi express his position." Zhu Hui'an shook his head and sighed, "Teacher, I have been in business for many years, but when it comes to reputation, I am still not as good as you."
One has been in business for many years, while the other has been quietly doing academic work and training disciples in the Imperial College. On weekdays, he does not even go out to the Imperial College or attend court meetings, but the gap in reputation is still so huge.
After Zhu Hui'an sighed, he lowered his gaze again, and the expression on his face gradually faded.
"But I won't lose to you, teacher."

[The sword of the princes has the wise warrior as the front and the upright man as the sword. It goes up to the round sky to obey the three lights, and goes down to the earth to obey the four seasons. It neutralizes the will of the people and brings peace to the four villages. Once this sword is used, it will seal it four times.
Inside, there are all those who obey your orders and obey them.】
Jiang Li sensed the message coming from the Dao Fruit and felt a little moved in his heart: 'It's done.'
Among the Three Swords of the World in Zhuang Zhou's Daoguo, Jiang Li has always been able to use the sword of a commoner, because he is a commoner and cannot be favored by the emperor or the princes.
Until the Dao Fruit was perfected and promoted to the fourth rank, Jiang Li was unable to use the other two swords until now.
Promoted to the Three Dukes, enjoying the title of king, gaining the power to open a government, and being able to recruit officials themselves. During the Warring States Period, these were princes. Only with this position of power did Jiang Li have the foundation to use the sword of princes.
Because of the change in this Taoist magical power, Jiang Li immediately knew that things were done in the capital of gods.
'It's just a little too late.'
Jiang Li shook his head, receiving the information about the Sword of the Princes.
He has been promoted to the fourth level, and the fifth level magical power of the Three Swords of the World is a bit outdated.
However, with the ocher whip around, Jiang Li is not worried about not having enough level. If the Three Swords of the World are useful, he can use the ocher whip to temporarily increase his level.
While thinking about it, I have fully accepted the information about the Sword of the Princes...or the sword's intention.
The sword of the princes knows and uses people, and uses the mind and will to law the heaven and the earth, and uses people. When the sword is drawn out, all the people will obey, and it is to use the power of heaven and earth to calm people.
The magical power of Zhuangzhou Daoguo can be used to govern the country and the people, and it can also be used as a sword to do things that are in line with people. How to use it depends on one mind, not on one place.
Okay, this is very Zhuangzi.
Even after being promoted to the fourth rank, Jiang Li still found it difficult to see through Zhuang Zhou's realm. He was able to understand the "Huangji Jingshi Shu" more than half of the time because of the great master's wisdom obtained from the Tao Fruit.
"I take my words back, Zhuang Zhou's magical power will never go out of style."
Whether it is the [One-Chi Punch] or the [Three Swords of the World], they are magical powers that can be used for a lifetime.
The sword intent flowed in Jiang Li's eyes, and a sword light slowly appeared in his hand. With the sword intent of Fa Tian and Fa Earth, it fell towards the statue at his feet.
Thousands of incense thoughts slowly stagnated under the sword, and the power of faith belonging to Huang Tian gradually faded away the complicated thoughts under the penetration of the sword light.
"It saves me from using the Heavenly Escape Sword Technique to kill them all."
