System prompt: You have accepted the task [Participate in the meeting in front of the palace] (A level★★★★)!
Mission content: Go to Xingqi City and attend the front meeting on behalf of Dragon Territory. It will take about 3 hours.
…
It turns out that this is such a mission. It seems that there will be meetings all morning. However, the rewards for a four-star A-level mission should be pretty good. You can just do it while standing, and it won't be a big deal.
Outside the door, two dragon knight generals, Feng Yu and Qing Ling, walked in. Feng Yu said to me respectfully: "Sir, the meeting in front of the palace will begin soon. I have assembled the dragon warriors and are ready to go at any time.
.”
"Let's go."
"yes!"
Before I knew it, I had become very prosperous in the Dragon Realm. I could even dispatch Dragon Cavalry Generals now, which is really impressive!
Coming outside the Dragon City Hall, Feng Yu and Qing Ling were riding giant dragons, and there were also five hundred Dragon City warriors with identical armors, swords, and horses riding on them. Two generals, Qin Zhao and Li Shang, were also among them.
They all clasped their fists and said, "Sir, we are ready, can we set off?"
"Let's go."
I walked directly to the teleportation array that had been repaired. After a ripple, I took Feng Yu and Qingling out of the teleportation array. Behind me was a dense army of Dragon City soldiers. Around the teleportation array, there were many sergeants from the Xia tribe.
The war general cast his gaze over, and when he saw those of us from the Dragon Territory, he suddenly showed awe.
"My lord, are you here to attend the meeting in front of the palace? Please come with me."
"Thank you very much."
"Sir, you don't have to be polite. It's appropriate."
Passing through a dilapidated imperial garden, we quickly arrived at the newly renovated main hall. When we stepped onto the golden steps, a guard immediately shouted: "Dragon Domain Special Envoy, here!"
A group of soldiers stepped aside one after another. Feng Yu raised his eyebrows at me and said with a smile: "Let's go, we will all listen to you today."
"Um."
With wind whispers, Qing Ling stepped into the hall and was led to the front row. She stood in a row with Luo Qingyi, Lin Xingchu, Luo Ning and others. Luo Qingyi seemed a little surprised and whispered: "Master Mingyuechi, don't you?"
Come in person?"
"No, let me be the sole representative." I said.
She opened her mouth slightly, then smiled and said, "That's fine."
…
"Your Majesty, please."
Lin Xingchu'e frowned slightly and said, "It's time to start."
"Yes, Mr. Xingchu!"
At this time, in the upper-level meeting of the Xia clan, Lin Xingchu's status was already slightly higher than that of Tianmugong Xiran. After all, whether it was to pacify the Western Region Protector's Mansion or fight against the Silver Demon Tree, Lin Xingchu planned the strategy and won in the end.
Well, in terms of military exploits, Tianmugong is completely unable to compare with her.
Not long after, the crazy Lu Hui, dressed in royal robes, went to the palace. As soon as he sat on the dragon chair, he immediately smiled stupidly at the ministers and said: "My dear friends are all here today. Come and play with me."
Zhuma, Xu Aiqing, why has your beard grown so long? Come on, let me help you pull it off..."
All the ministers frowned and said nothing. A silver magic tree actually destroyed a generation of Emperor Xia. Moreover, no one would have thought that Lu Hui would go crazy in less than a year after he ascended the throne.
The regent Lu Tianyi frowned and said: "Your Majesty is already unconscious and can no longer act arbitrarily. The old minister suggested that an edict of abdication should be written immediately and that the young prince Lu Yun should ascend the throne!"
"Why did the Prince Regent say this?"
Tianmugong Xiyang, surrounded by a group of ministers, wrote lightly: "The young prince Lu Yun is still young and cannot handle affairs at all. Does it mean that the regent still wants to continue to be regent for the rest of his life?"
Lu Tianyi frowned: "Then according to Tianmu Gong's wishes, is it possible to make the eldest princess the Xia Emperor? She is a daughter after all, and our Xia clan has no precedent for establishing a queen. Does Tianmugong want to violate the rules of our ancestors?"
"There is a first time for everything. The eldest princess, Lu Ning, is talented and decisive in dealing with matters. Moreover, when the late emperor was still alive, she assisted the government many times and reviewed memorials for the late emperor, and everything was perfect. So what's wrong with making the eldest princess?" Tian
Duke Mu's attitude was firm.
Lu Tianyi sneered: "Tianmu Gong insisted on making the eldest princess, just because he is her grandfather."
Duke Tianmu frowned: "I am devoted to the Xia clan, both public and private, and feel that the eldest princess should be made the new Xia emperor. I am definitely not motivated by my own selfish interests. This heart can be revealed by the sun and the moon, and can be expressed by the heaven and the earth!"
"Two adults."
Luo Ning spoke and said: "Which crown prince should be appointed as Emperor Xia? We still need to listen to the opinions of the elders."
"Well, that's right!"
Soon, a group of elderly people standing on the right side wearing black and gold court uniforms began to speak one by one. Some supported Li Lu Yun, some supported Li Lu Ning, and they argued endlessly.
Just like that, we kept arguing for more than an hour, and my head almost exploded, but there was no result.
…
At this moment, Lin Xingchu coughed and said: "It is better to invite the two princes to come forward in person. If there is anything, we can discuss it."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Xingchu is right!"
"Invited, the eldest princess Lu Ning and the young prince Lu Yun!"
Not long after, the two of them went to the palace, each standing on the left and right of Lu Hui. Lu Ning was a beautiful woman with some arrogance between her eyebrows, while Lu Yun was still a child of seven or eight years old, with no apparent intelligence.
Seeing the officials arguing endlessly, Lu Ning frowned slightly and said, "My lords, please be quiet."
Everyone stopped talking and looked at Lu Ning together.
Lu Ning continued: "When my father was alive, he was wise and powerful, and could make decisions in everything. Unfortunately, he died young. And today, the emperor's younger brother Lu Hui encountered another unexpected incident and cannot continue to be the emperor. What happened today is nothing more than Lu Ning's.
I am just choosing one of my younger brothers, Lu Yun, to succeed the Xia Emperor. If Lu Yun becomes the Xia Emperor, I will do my best to assist him and be a good sister. If Lu Ning becomes the emperor, I will do my best to benefit the Xia clan and live up to my father.
The emperor’s teachings in the past.”
The words were resounding, and this woman was indeed not simple.
Lu Yun, on the other hand, hesitated and couldn't say a few words, and was immediately dwarfed by him.
…
"My lords, let's make a decision. Who supports the eldest princess Lu Ning as the new Xia Emperor?" Tianmu Gong Xiyang said in a deep voice.
Several cabinet ministers immediately came out and bowed their heads to express their willingness to support Lu Ning.
The regent Lu Tianyi's face was ashen and he said nothing.
At this time, few people dared to express their opinions easily. After all, once they expressed their opinions, they would offend the other party. Even Lin Xingchu was doing Tai Chi and said with a smile: "The eldest princess is decisive in dealing with things, and the little prince is straightforward and kind. Both of them are of the blood of Emperor Xia.
, are naturally qualified to ascend the throne and become emperor, you may wish to discuss it again."
Duke Tianmu looked at Lie Kongshui and said: "Commander Lie, as the commander-in-chief of the Western Region Protectorate, you guard the Xia clan's western gateway, and you have taught the eldest princess archery. If the eldest princess ascends the throne, you will not object, right?"
"
Lie Kongshui's face turned pale and he frowned. He was forced to ride a tiger and could only clasp his fists: "The general will not object."
"That being the case, it's very good."
Duke Tian Mu looked at Qian Bai again and said: "Qian Shuai, you hold the imperial army. This time, Xingqi City was enslaved by the Silver Demon Tree. Qian Shuai was away and could not return in time to attack Mo'e. Fortunately, the eldest princess arrived in time.
He led the troops in Langya City and helped King Qin in the battle, so that the imperial city was not captured by the purgatory forces. Does Commander Qian think that the eldest princess is qualified to ascend the throne?"
Qian Bai was guilty and gritted his teeth: "The last general... supports the eldest princess to ascend the throne!"
Among the two remaining commanders of the four palaces, Lu Xu, who was in charge of the Annan Protectorate, was originally from Xiyang, so only Commander Luo from Babel Tower was left without a statement.
"Luo Shuai!"
The eldest princess walked down the golden steps, knelt on the ground with one knee, and said: "Luo Shuai has guarded the Babel Tower for many years, faced the Northern Infernal Legion, and made great achievements. Lu Ning has always respected Luo Shuai as his teacher. Is Luo Shuai willing to support me?"
Lu Ning, you are all Lu Ning’s revered teacher!”
"Cough cough cough..."
Luo Ning was a little flustered: "Eldest Princess, please get up quickly, I'm sorry."
"father."
Luo Qingyi shouted, so Luo Ning realized something, coughed again, and said: "The veteran has been fighting for decades. I only hope that our Xia clan will be strong forever. The veteran should not interfere in this matter of registration.
So... eldest princess, please be at ease, no matter who becomes the Emperor of Xia, the veteran will go through fire and water, lead the Tongtian Tower tribe to guard the northern gate of the empire, and never take a step back!"
A trace of disappointment flashed across Lu Ning's face. In fact, she had not really won Luo Ning's support. Luo Ning, like Lin Xingchu, chose a neutral stance.
Finally, Lu Ning's eyes fell on me and said: "Ding Muchen, one of the most trusted Dragon Territory warriors by Dragon Whisperer, I have met you, but I didn't expect that you would represent Dragon Territory at the meeting in front of the palace today."
"Hello princess..." I smiled slightly.
"good."
She was startled and said with a smile: "Dragon Territory has always been the holy land of our Xia clan. It was the same in the past and it is the same today. I would like to ask, Mr. Ding Muchen is here to represent Dragon Territory this time. Who do you think is more suitable between me and my brother Lu Ning?"
Ascend to the throne as Emperor Xia?"
Her eyes were menacing.
Feng Yu and Qing Ling took a step forward almost subconsciously, and each lightly bumped my shoulder armor.
I frowned, raised my eyebrows and looked at Lu Ning, and said loudly: "For our Dragon Territory, it doesn't matter who becomes the Xia Emperor. The only thing that needs to be explained is what promise the new Xia Emperor has to our Dragon Territory. If it is not good for the Dragon Territory, I will
The statement on behalf of Dragon Territory is – I disagree!”
Lu Ning was obviously taken aback by my words and frowned: "So what if I don't agree?"
I smiled slightly: "The previous generation of Emperor Xia, your father, Lu Shanhe decided to attack Dragon Territory, and everyone knows the final result. Princess, do you need me to speak more clearly? Dragon Territory is a holy land,
No blasphemy is allowed, not even for Emperor Xia."
Lu Ning looked at me deeply: "This special envoy from the Dragon Realm is really sharp."
I smiled: "The eldest princess is joking. If the princess succeeds the Xia Emperor, I believe she will definitely rely more on the Dragon Territory. The Infernal Legion is watching with eager eyes. The Dragon Territory and the Xia Clan can be said to be at odds with each other. Only by watching each other can we protect our homeland."
Lost, battle after battle has proved everything, hasn’t it?”
Lu Ning found the steps and immediately nodded and smiled: "That's right!"
"Next, let's talk about the eldest princess's strategy after she ascends the throne. What promises does she make to our Dragon Territory?"
