Chapter 916 My country is your country!
"One, one word, King of Side by Side? This, this, this..."
Not to mention the other ministers. Even the Great Imperial Master Ouyang Zhishui, who has lived for more than 170 years and is already a veteran minister for three generations including Xia Yuan's generation, trembled his lips in shock on the spot!
Just because this title is so important, it can be said to be the first noble title in the world, with unparalleled dignity!
The word "一" not only means the only absolute, but also has the metaphor of "the left and right are equal, and the high and low are consistent".
Doesn't that mean that the prince that Chen Shen obtained is the only one since the founding of the Xia Dynasty that can even be equal to the emperor himself?
However, Xia Yuan seemed to feel that it was not enough, and actually added "side by side" after the word "Yi", simply telling the world clearly that Chen Shen was the one who could stand side by side with Gu.
An absolute ruler who can call himself "lonely"!
The title "King Side by Side", even if it is just a false title, can easily put Chen Shen above all the first-rank officials.
From then on, he was no longer a minister, but a king!
This is of greater and greater significance than the privilege of "not kneeling in front of saints" granted to the Chen family by the late Emperor Xia!
"King Chen, from now on, you, and even your legitimate sons and grandsons, will be one with me, Great Xia, with honor and disgrace, regardless of each other!"
Having said this, Xia Yuan suddenly stood up and waved the dragon-sleeved robe wrapped around his arms: "From now on, this lonely country will be your country!"
"Come, King Chen, please come to me, sit on the dragon couch with me, and control thousands of miles of rivers and mountains together!"
"hiss--"
These words and actions were like a hundred thousand tons of sulfur bombs exploding, and the whole hall was shocked!
"A lonely country is your country!"
"Sitting on the dragon couch with me, we can control thousands of miles of rivers and mountains together!"
These heroic words are simply going to push Chen Shen to the throne of King of Great Xia!
Some people may think that Xia Yuan did this to win over people's hearts.
After all, his new emperor has ascended the throne and his foundation is unstable. He needs to win over, or "create" a powerful official to assist him wholeheartedly and help him overcome all difficulties and dangers.
But is this really the case? Not necessarily.
If you want to win over powerful ministers, you don't need to give a noble title like "One Word Side by Side King".
Xia Yuan only needs to be like Empress Fu and give her the title of "Duke Protector", plus a hereditary replacement, which is enough to make any courtier go crazy!
However, Xia Yuan did not do this.
His new king has ascended the throne, and his foundation is fragile. He should be very clear about what it means to establish a "one-word king" at this time.
If Chen Shen really has the idea of seeking power and usurping the throne, this title, which is equal to that of king, is the best basis for him to act.
With his strength and means, it would not be too easy for Xia Yuan, who was in his last years, to "accidentally die" and then steal the throne!
Knowing this, Xia Yuan still gave him the title of King of Side by Side without hesitation, which shows that his trust in Chen Shen, his senior brother, is definitely not comparable to that of Xia Yuanlong before him.
His trust in Chen Shen is almost to the point of no distinction between them!
As an emperor, it seems extremely stupid to trust a minister without reservation, and this minister is capable of overthrowing him at any time.
Is Xia Yuan stupid? No, on the contrary, he is very smart!
Because he knew that if Chen Shen was really interested in the throne and power, he could have killed himself after his master recorded the atrocities committed by Queen Fu instead of rescuing her.
With the image in the recording crystal, it is almost certain that Queen Fu will be swarmed and destroyed.
Later, Chen Shen relied on his tremendous achievements to expose Empress Fu's crimes and avenge the former emperor, so that it would be possible for Daxia to change its dynasty.
However, Chen Shen did not do this.
Because of this, Xia Yuan was willing to trust him without reservation...
Even Chen Shen did not expect Xia Yuan's generous reward, and a look of surprise flashed across his face.
In fact, while preparing for the enthronement ceremony, the second prince went to Tianqi Bao Pavilion and paid a visit to his master, who was the master of Tianqi Pavilion in Chen Shen's disguise.
At that time, the second prince wanted to ask his master to rule Daxia on his behalf, and to elevate him to the supreme title of "Emperor's Master, Duke of Xia".
Xia Guogong was named after the title of a country, which shows his respect. The position of imperial master also gave the master of Tianqi Pavilion the privilege of life and death over the second prince, his disciple!
However, Chen Shen refused because he still had a lot of things to do.
He wants to destroy the Tai Kou, restore the country, and make those enemies who harmed his grandfather and thousands of lives of the Chen family pay the price!
He also wants to save Zi Linglong from water and fire, and have a duel with the Beast Refining Sect, which is known as the major sect in the world of cultivation.
Therefore, it is impossible for this young man to stay in the Great Xia Kingdom as the Imperial Master Xia Guogong.
After politely declining, Master Tianqi Pavilion gave Xia Yuan a thumbs up: "Among the direct disciples of this Pavilion Master, Chen Shen is the most talented and values love and righteousness. This person is by no means a creature in the pool."
"You and him have a brotherly relationship. You just need to be sincere to him, and given time, he will definitely not let you down!"
At that time, Chen Shen just said it casually. He never thought that Xia Yuan would actually achieve this.
After a brief moment of surprise, Chen Shen's expression returned to normal, but he did not actually get on the dragon throne. Instead, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your deep friendship! However, the old enemy of Tai Kou has not yet been eliminated, and the King of Huainan is watching eagerly from the side.
.”
"After I have conquered Huainan for Your Majesty and slaughtered the Taikoos, it will not be too late to come back to receive your overwhelming hospitality!"
"Alas! Your Majesty, it sounds unpleasant to hear." Xia Yuan smiled sincerely: "It's very awkward to call you Prince Chen."
"Why don't you and I treat each other as brothers?"
As soon as these words came out, the eunuch Li Zongming was moved by it: "Your Majesty is trying to put personal feelings above the imperial power!"
"The late emperor once said that the emperor of a country rules the world, but it is difficult to find a friend."
"As a king, is it really hard to find a friend? I don't think so. It's just because the emperor is unwilling to give up the power of heaven, unwilling to open up the knot in his heart, and has complete trust in his friends...
"
"The new emperor Xia Yuan has a universal mind and treats Chen Shen with sincerity. Perhaps... he will become the first king in history to have true friends, right?"
Xia Yuan had already said this, and Chen Shen was happy to accept it. He immediately smiled and nodded: "Okay! Then Brother Yu will be disrespectful!"
"Hahahaha, okay, okay!" Xia Yuan laughed heartily and sat down slowly.
Now that he was sitting, he only occupied the left half of the large dragon chair. He pointed to the empty seat next to him and said, "Senior brother, I will save this half for you first."
"After you wipe out the enemies of the country, I will definitely invite you to the dragon's throne. Wouldn't it be nice for us two to have a drink and talk together?"
With Chen Shen's ability to break through Tianxin's perception, one can naturally tell from the other party's expression that he is serious.
Xia Yuan's intention to share the dragon throne and the country of Daxia with him was absolutely true, and there was no pretense at all...
