Chapter 949
Jiuxiao Shen Dynasty is in the Golden Palace, today's great court, but the swords are drawn in the hall.
At this time, there were hundreds of civil servants and generals in the Golden Palace, divided into three groups, of which less than one third belonged to the royal family, and the rest were all the cronies of Xue Zhentian and Feng Yuan. important position in the church.
In addition, the guards in the entire palace were also controlled by Xue Zhentian and Feng Yuan. In the palace, only the royal family's private soldiers were the only ones who finally ended up in the royal family. Although they were all tyrannical, there were only less than 300 people. .
Emperor Xiao Zhan sat on the golden seat of the dragon chair, swept over Xue Zhentian and Feng Yuan in the main hall, and said coldly: "General Xue, Prime Minister Feng Yuan, this is a great dynasty, what? You even forgot the etiquette and rules. Yet?"
Although the royal family is weak, Xiao Zhan, as the hero who has led the Jiuxiao Dynasty for many years, is not weak at all.
If it was in the past, Xiao Zhan said this, Feng Yuan and Xue Zhentian might be afraid, but today is their showdown with the Xiao family, naturally they will not be frightened by Xiao Zhan's words.
Moreover, although Xiao Zhan is a nine-star Martial Emperor and ranks on the Heavenly Ranking, Xue Zhentian and Feng Yuan are not weak either. They are also Nine-Stars Martial Emperor. Even if their ranking on the Heavenly Ranking is not as good as Xiao Zhan, they will definitely not be afraid of him when they join forces.
The most important thing is that they have foreign aid today.
Xue Zhen stood in the same place as the emperor, glanced at Xiao Zhan who was sitting on the dragon chair, and said in a flat tone: "Hehe, His Majesty the Emperor, I am the general of the Nine Heavens Dynasty. It can be seen that the saint does not kneel, why, His Majesty the Emperor Are you going to take my privileges away?"
Feng Yuan also said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the old minister is also a veteran of the two dynasties, and now that he is old, he is really unable to salute. Please understand the difficulties of the minister!"
The words of the two made Xiao Zhan's face gloomy to the extreme.
Xue Zhentian is right. He is the general of the Jiuxiao Dynasty. He has made great contributions to the expansion of the Jiuxiao Dynasty. With such a great contribution, he naturally has some privileges. It is Xiao Zhanxu who does not need to salute when he sees the saint. one of the privileges.
But this kind of privilege can only be regarded as a kind of honor. The emperor can grant it to you, but you must not take it seriously. Otherwise, the impeachment memorial of the court and Chinese ministers can bury you. This is Chi Guoguo's arrogance.
Although Xue Zhentian enjoyed such privileges in the past, he would still salute on such solemn occasions as the imperial court, but today he speaks directly with his privileges, which can no longer be described as arrogant. This is simply a provocation.
If Xue Zhentian's reason is still in the past, then Feng Yuan is simply finding fault.
What does it mean that you are old and frail? You are simply betraying the old and selling the old. Although Feng Yuan is very old, he is also a strong man of the Nine Stars Martial Emperor. The night royal five daughters?
The arrogance of Xue Zhentian and Feng Yuan also aroused the dissatisfaction of those civil servants and military generals who swore loyalty to the Xiao family, and they came forward to impeach them one after another.
"Your Majesty, the minister participated in the performance, Xue Zhentian and Feng Yuan's disobedience in front of the palace is a serious crime, and I ask Your Majesty to punish it severely!"
"Your Majesty, the ministers participated in the performance. Xue Zhentian and the two despised Tianwei and wantonly violated the law. They should be sentenced to capital punishment according to the law. Please punish them severely."
"Your Majesty, the old ministers impeached Xue Feng and the two of them, blocked the imperial capital without authorization, and intended to rebel. Please punish your majesty severely."
"His Majesty……"
...
More than 20 civil servants and military generals who were loyal to the Xiao family had already stood up in just a few minutes, and everyone demanded that Xue Feng and both of them be put to death. The crimes they committed were indeed very serious.
But soon, the voices of these people were suppressed by the voices of more ministers who were loyal to Xue Zhentian and Feng Yuan.
"Your Majesty, the Great General enjoys the privilege, and it is indeed within the privilege to fail to salute in front of the palace. This is His Majesty's promise, and it is not an arrogance."
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Feng has worked hard and is old. It is normal for people not to be able to salute. Please forgive me!"
"Your Majesty, I am waiting for the orders of the General and the Prime Minister, please forgive them."
"Your Majesty, General Xue blocked the imperial capital for the purpose of strictly investigating spies. There is nothing wrong with his duties."
...
In just a few breaths, 40 or 50 officials stood up to plead for Feng Yuan and Xue Zhentian. They were all old fritters in the officialdom. Naturally, they knew that this was the time to show loyalty and stand in line, and none of them were neglected.
Seeing that more than two-thirds of the ministers in the imperial court had all surrendered to Xue Zhentian and Feng Yuan, Xiao Zhan, who was sitting on the dragon chair, had a gloomy expression on his face. Now they have all rebelled against the traitors.
Feng Yuan and Xue Zhentian were standing above the court, with sneered sneers on their faces, as if to demonstrate to Xiao Zhan again.
At this moment, an abrupt sound suddenly sounded in the hall, causing the entire Golden Palace to fall into tranquility in an instant.
"Your Majesty, this minister has the original performance. General Xue expanded the territory for the Jiuxiao Dynasty, and made great military exploits. Please make him the King of Chu!"
"Prime Minister Feng Yuan served two dynasties, and devoted himself to the stability and prosperity of the Jiuxiao Dynasty. Please make him King of Wei!"
As soon as he said that, everyone in the room was shocked.
The incredible gazes of the civil servants and military generals of the Manchu Dynasty were now focused on the official in the center of the hall.
This official is Fang Zhong, Minister of Rites!
Since the establishment of the Jiuxiao Dynasty, there has never been a king with a different surname. It is a child of the royal family. There are very few people with a different surname. Since Xiao Zhan succeeded to the throne, he has never been crowned. Now Fang Zhong is admonishing Xue Feng. Two people are kings, their hearts can be punished!
Xiao Zhan looked at Fang Zhong with a cold expression, and said in a cold voice, "Fang Zhong, do you know what you are talking about?"
Fang Zhong stood in the center of the Golden Palace, facing Xiao Zhan's questioning, but he did not show any timidity, but said with dignity and awe, "Your Majesty, what the minister said, every sentence came from the heart, the two adults are indeed worthy of such a reward.
As the Minister of Rites, this minister must maintain the etiquette of the Jiuxiao Dynasty. The two adults have made great contributions. If Your Majesty does not award the reward, I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of the civil and military people of the whole dynasty, and will also attract criticism from the world. I also ask Your Majesty to think twice. . "
Xiao Zhan stared at Fang Zhong with cold eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "What if I don't seal it?"
Fang Zhong immediately knelt on the ground and said in a righteous manner: "If your Majesty is not virtuous, please ask Your Majesty to abdicate and let the worthy, and the minister will die!"
When Fang Zhong said these words, Xiao Zhan really understood that he did not want to make himself king for Xue Feng and the others. From the very beginning, he knew that he would not make these two kings with different surnames.
He just wanted to find an excuse to force himself to abdicate.
The so-called teacher is famous, even if Xue Feng and the two forced the palace, there must be an excuse, and Fang Zhong was the excuse they made.
Although this excuse is very clumsy, but at least the purpose has been achieved.
Fang Zhong's voice fell, and dozens of officials in the court immediately stood up and said in unison, "This minister agrees!"
