Chapter four hundred and thirteenth court meeting (finally)
Su Xin was very successful in establishing his power this time. At least the disciples recruited by the prince kept a low profile and no longer dared to take action openly on the streets of Shengjing City.
And the next day, dozens of princes and princes from the Great Zhou Dynasty sent people or personally delivered congratulatory gifts to congratulate the establishment of the six gates of Shengjing City. Prince Xiang Ji Yanyu and others even came to congratulate in person.
It has been several days since the establishment of the Six Gates of Shengjing City, and they have just come to congratulate them now. It is obvious that they have fully realized Su Xin's influence in Shengjing City.
Su Xin has completely established a foothold in Shengjing City. With the power of the six sects of Shengjing City, Su Xin can be said to be the first person in the entire six sects to be captured by the four gods.
Moreover, Su Xin has not yet handed over the position of chief catcher of the six gates of Jiangnan Road, so the power in Su Xin's hands will be even greater.
For these princes and princes of Zhou, there is no harm in being friends with Su Xin. If their children in the family commit crimes in the future, they can also intercede with Su Xin if they are friends with him.
The other princes either came in person or sent people to congratulate him, and they also expressed their intention to make friends with Su Xin.
After all, Su Xin's move has great influence on princes like them.
It turned out that Chu King Ji Yanhao was planning to recruit Su Xin, but after this incident, Ji Yanhao gave up this idea. Now Su Xin is no longer something that any of them can recruit.
Many princes and princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty came to congratulate and send congratulatory gifts. As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. Su Xin also arranged for people to be at the door and politely welcomed them all into the six gates of Shengjing City. They greeted them and let them know.
Someone goes and arranges a banquet.
At this time, Su Xin felt that it would be great if he brought Huang Bingcheng.
Huang Bingcheng is better at dealing with these kinds of debris. Su Xin's current detectives and police officers can do it, but they don't have much experience in dealing with this kind of debris.
Tie Shi was very rigid and was not suitable to deal with these matters. In the end, Tang Jiu came forward to help arrange everything properly.
Su Xin glanced at Tang Jiu in slight surprise. He was Tang Xian's adopted son, but now he seemed to be used to big scenes and arranged everything in an orderly manner.
Su Xin originally thought that his character was like iron and stone, but now it seems that it is completely wrong.
After a while, Tie Shi suddenly came over and said, "Sir, Gao Yue, the eldest son of Duke Zheng, has sent a congratulatory gift."
Su Xin was stunned. Of course he knew who Duke Zheng was. He was Ji Yancheng's biggest backer. Now that he and Ji Yancheng were fighting to the death, why was he still here?
"Let's go out and take a look."
They were here to give gifts, so of course Su Xin couldn't turn them away.
Seeing Su Xin come out, Gao Yue cupped his hands towards Su Xin and said, "Master Su, the incident with His Royal Highness the King of Thailand is in the past. I hope you won't take it to heart, Master Su."
Su Xin also smiled and said: "I, Su Xin, have always been someone who doesn't offend others unless they offend me. But I have never taken the initiative to provoke His Royal Highness, the King of Thailand."
Gao Yue nodded and said: "Master Su, please rest assured that from now on His Royal Highness the King of Thailand will never take the initiative to provoke you, Master Su."
After saying that, Gao Yue directly cupped his hands and turned to leave.
He didn't come here to convince Su Xin, he just didn't want Su Xin to target Ji Yancheng again.
Ji Yancheng has learned enough lessons this time, and there is no point in continuing to fight with Su Xin.
However, he thought too much. Su Xin had no intention of continuing to compete with Ji Yancheng. There was no point in competing with a deposed prince anymore.
All the congratulations that need to be said have been given. Su Xin succeeded in the first battle. At least the princes of the Zhou Dynasty told their disciples to be careful when they went back. Don't be caught by the six gates of Shengjing City, so that we don't have to go to you again.
intercede.
So now the policemen from the six gates of Shengjing City are walking on the street again. Even the sons of the princes who have always been very arrogant are a little frightened when they see them, and they don't dare to be as presumptuous as before.
After being stable like this for half a month, Tie Zhan suddenly sent someone to tell Su Xin and asked him to go to court with him.
Su Xin was stunned when he heard the news, because Ji Haodian, Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, had not been to court for a long time.
The Great Zhou Dynasty gave each Tao a great deal of power, and each Tao's six-door chief arrester and marching chief could handle most situations.
So it turns out that the Great Zhou Dynasty also goes to court every ten days, and there is no need to discuss other matters. The civil servants in the Great Zhou Dynasty can handle it themselves.
Later, Ji Haodian's health became worse and worse, and he was even exempted from going to court for these ten days. Anyone who had any major issues could report it directly to him. Unless it was a major incident, there was no need to summon everyone to the court for discussion.
With doubts in mind, Su Xin went straight to the six gates and found that the four great arresters had gathered and were preparing to go to court together.
In fact, the only people in the entire six sects who are eligible to participate in the court meeting are the Four Great Gods and Tie Ao. However, as Su Xin, the chief catcher of Shengjing City, has a special position, so he is allowed to participate in the court meeting.
The four of them were silent along the way, and Su Xin also remained silent. He followed everyone to the palace hall. On the way, he met many Dukes of Zhou and people from the military. Everyone stood neatly waiting for Ji Haodian's arrival.
The six gates and the military are relatively close to the front, but those at the front are the princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is also the first time that Su Xin sees all the princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty who are qualified to seize the throne.
The person standing in the first place is naturally the prince Ji Yanheng, who is probably in his late forties, but his expression is very depressed and slightly panicked.
Regarding the prince of Zhou Dynasty, Su Xin only gave him two words of evaluation, that is, he seeks death.
As the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Ji Yanheng's maternal clan was also a Duke of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Moreover, he is the oldest and was established as the prince. With this title, even if he is just a mediocre person, he will attract the support of a lot of people. It will be difficult for the princes below him to catch up with him.
It's difficult.
But what did Ji Yanheng do in the end? Anyone who mentions Ji Yanheng will say that the prince has lost his moral character and is not worthy of being the crown prince. Even now he is no different from being directly deposed.
Su Xin once asked about the reason. After hearing this, he was speechless for a while. He simply couldn't believe that Ji Yanheng, as the prince, would do such a thing that even an idiot would not do.
He actually wanted to have sex with Ji Haodian's concubine in the harem and cuckold his father.
But that's all. After all, Ji Haodian is old and has hundreds of beauties in the harem, 90% of whom he has never touched.
Moreover, as a member of the royal family, Ji Haodian had seen even dirtier things than this. As the saying goes, family scandals should not be made public, so he could just punish and reprimand Ji Yanheng.
But what really drove Ji Yanheng into the cold palace was what he said when the concubine resisted.
"There is no need to resist. After all, you will all be mine after your father dies. Isn't it the same sooner or later?"
It was precisely because of these words that Ji Haodian was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot and almost beat Ji Yanheng to death on the spot.
Ji Yanheng's mistake was not in teasing the concubine, but in saying something he shouldn't have said.
Ji Haodian is a hero of the generation. He is not dead yet and you are thinking about my throne and my woman. Will you rebel if I live for a while longer?
Therefore, in Su Xin's view, the fact that Ji Yanheng was not deposed on the spot was considered to be Ji Haodian's forbearance.
Of course, Ji Yanheng's current state is no different than being deposed. The other princes have also seen it, so they started such a fierce competition.
Standing under Ji Yanheng was the third prince, Prince Zhao Ji Yanlu.
Ji Yanlu came from a mediocre background, but he himself had a wide circle of friends, was modest and prudent, and had a very good reputation in the military.
Moreover, Ji Yanlu once joined the army in Beiyuan incognito, fought several battles with the Golden Horde, and even reached the official position of captain before being discovered.
This gave Ji Yanlu a good reputation in the army, and several marching generals openly and secretly supported Ji Yanlu.
Among the many princes present, only Ji Yanlu was wearing armor and uniform.
There is another prince that Su Xin has never met before, and that is the King of Chu, Ji Yanhao.
There are rumors that Ji Yanhao is cruel and ruthless, but he is actually handsome and harmless on the outside.
As for the remaining Ji Yanyu and Ji Yancheng, Su Xin knew them.
Generally speaking, among the many princes in the Zhou Dynasty, only the five of them are the most promising to win the throne.
Although the other princes also have some power, they are far inferior to the five of them.
After a while, several young eunuchs helped an old man in dragon robes sit on the dragon chair. Tang Xian bowed his body and waited on him respectfully.
"See Your Majesty!"
Everyone bowed respectfully to Ji Haodian, but no one knelt down.
These people are all ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, not slaves of the Ji family, so in the Great Zhou Dynasty, except for the eunuchs in the imperial palace, others do not have to kneel when they see the emperor.
Su Xin was also sizing up Ji Haodian secretly.
Ji Haodian's face was very old, and he still had a sick look that could not be concealed. He only had a pair of eyes that were as sharp as an eagle, and he was extremely domineering.
He should not have reached eighty years old this year, which in the eyes of ordinary people has indeed entered his twilight years.
But although Ji Haodian is not a warrior, the Great Zhou Dynasty now dominates the Central Plains. What kind of heavenly materials and earthly treasures can't be found? Even if Ji Haodian is an ordinary person, there should be no problem if he lives for about two hundred years.
However, it is said that Ji Haodian was assassinated in his early years, which caused damage to his internal organs. He invited famous doctors from all over the world to treat him, but there was nothing he could do. He could only rely on some precious elixirs to survive.
It was easy to say at the beginning, but in recent years, Ji Haodian has eaten those pills as food, but he still can't stop the flow of vitality.
That's why those princes are ready to make moves, and even the newly stable Great Zhou Dynasty is a little turbulent.
On the dragon chair, Ji Haodian said softly: "Today's meeting, I just want to say one thing, and that is the ownership of the crown prince's position."
His voice was old and hoarse, and it was not loud either, but this sentence shocked everyone present. (To be continued.)
