That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 857

Two Daxing emperors stopped in the palace at the same time, which can be said to be an unprecedented event in the ages, so that today's Daqi has no legitimate successor in name, but the world today is still Daqi's world, Tianjia The Xiao family also had Xiao Zhinan, His Royal Highness Princess Qiyang, so on the day after Xiao Zhinan Fuling returned to Beijing, the imperial court held another court meeting.

Princes, nine ministers, civil and military officials filed in.

Civil officials walk to the left, generals walk to the right, and the middle is empty.

In the end, it was Xu Beiyou and Xiao Zhinan who arrived late.

For the first time today, Xu Beiyou didn't carry a sword box, let alone plain clothes. Instead, he wore a boa robe, with the sword Qingshuang that once belonged to Xiao Shen hanging from his waist, which complemented Xiao Zhinan who was wearing a princess's crown at his side.

As the husband and wife walked forward step by step, from Chengtianmen to Baiyu Square to Weiyang Palace, all the big Han generals held the ceremony halberds one by one and knelt on one knee.

Further on, there was the eunuch in a red official robe, the eunuch who was in charge of ceremonies, and raised a high-pitched voice.

"Princess Qiyang and the emperor's son-in-law go to the palace."

"Princess Qiyang and the emperor's son-in-law go to the palace."

"Princess Qiyang and the emperor's son-in-law go to the palace."

The voice was repeated again and again, one higher than the other, from Chengtian Gate to Weiyang Palace.

The civil and military ministers in the entire Weiyang Palace were all in awe.

With a calm face, Xiao Zhinan walked through the wide square with Xu Beiyou, looking towards the end of the road.

At the end of the road is the pure white Xumizuo, and walking along Danbi to the Xumizuo is the Weiyang Palace, and at the end of the Weiyang Palace is a golden dragon chair.

The dragon chair symbolizing imperial power.

Standing next to the dragon chair is Zhang Baisui, the chief eunuch. He did not share life and death with Chen Ye, nor did he decide whether to win or lose. He returned to the imperial capital at the age of [-].

Zhang Baisui stood with his hands down.

The civil and military officials were silent.

Everyone was waiting, waiting for the young couple.

From the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the Zulong Dingding and then to the establishment of the Daqi, which princess and emperor's son-in-law can have such power?

When the husband and wife walked into Weiyang Palace, the whole hall became audible. The two walked all the way until they reached the high platform where the dragon chair was placed. High, come to the dragon chair.

Xiao Zhinan didn't sit on the dragon chair, but stood in front of the dragon chair, looking around the hall.

At this time, all the officials above the fourth rank and above in Beijing had arrived, but the senior officials above the first rank were much bleak compared to their previous heyday. Wei Jin died at the hands of Xiao Shen, and with the outbreak of war, none of the five major left governors was in the imperial capital, and the few remaining people inevitably felt alone.

According to the rules, at this time, the eunuch Zhang Baisui, who is in the palm of the hands of the chief inspector of ceremonies, should open the etiquette of the grand court meeting. However, this time the grand court meeting is obviously different from the past. Not only is the throne vacant, but it is even more unprecedented for the princess to preside over the court meeting. Yes, even the famous Princess Taiping never dared to act like this.

Xiao Zhinan withdrew his gaze, and said unhurriedly, "Give me a seat for Mr. Han Ge."

A eunuch, the supervisor of ceremonies, moved a large pineapple chair and placed it behind Han Xuan.

Han Xuan, who was standing at the front of the queue, slowly took his seat, lowering his eyes, making it hard for people to see the expression of the court Kui.Since the founding of Da Qi, only Lan Yu has enjoyed such an honor. Today, Lan Yu is old, so this honor finally fell to Han Xuan.

Behind Han Xuan is Xie Suqing. This time Xie Suqing returned to the court, there was a lot of criticism in the court. After all, he was the one who supported Emperor Taizong Wen's tour of the south of the Yangtze River. Knowing that, Xie Suqing was naturally to blame.At this time, the second assistant to the cabinet hid his hands in the wide sleeves of his official uniform, looking at his nose and heart, making it difficult for people to see what was going on in his heart.

Then there is Xu Beiyou, although he is called "Xiaoge Lao" by the whole court, but he has the position of military officer of the governor and acquaintance, so at this time he is standing in the ranks of military officers, and he has replaced the governor Wei Jin Location.This made many civil and military officials gasp. Although they used to be called Xiao Ge Lao, it was because of Han Ge Lao's power. Xu Beiyou's posture today is basically against Han Ge Lao, or father and son. With the addition of a Her Royal Highness Princess who is originally from his own family, it is clear that it is right to control the government.This move was not in line with etiquette, but no one dared to speak up. After all, it was the little pavilion elder who single-handedly set things right, so it was barely reasonable to be awarded this honor.

Behind Xu Beiyou is Wei Wuji.

Wei Wuji was originally a guilty minister, but after discussions between Xiao Zhinan and Xu Beiyou, Han Xuan, Xie Suqing, Zhang Baisui and others, it was understood that his loyalty to the late emperor was forced by the situation, so he was allowed to perform crimes and meritorious deeds, but he could no longer serve as an official. The governor of Tiance Mansion, but regained control of the Dark Guard Mansion and served as the Acting Governor of the Dark Guard Mansion. After all, he was one of the three governors of the Dark Guard Mansion back then. I can't figure it out for a while, only Wei Wuji is the best candidate at the moment, and at the same time, Zhang Baisui, the eunuch who is in charge of the ceremony, has the right to govern the Dark Guard Mansion, and the free Tiance Mansion is in the hands of Xu Beiyou.

In today's temple, the civil servants are still headed by Han Xuan, plus Xu Beiyou who has mastered the Tiance Mansion, the huge imperial capital is already in the hands of the father and son, not to mention that His Royal Highness Xiao Zhinan, the princess, is originally from the Xu family.

Many ministers have already sighed in their hearts, Fu Zhongtian's five-day regency is nothing more than a joke, Han Ge's method is brilliant, and he has monopolized the power of the temple without making a sound, not to mention Xiao Jin in Jiangnan, Lin Han in the northwest and Mutangzhi in the northeast only talk about the current imperial capital. Whether the world will still belong to the Xiao family in the future is really hard to say.

Zhang Baisui interrupted the mixed thoughts of everyone in the hall with "I have something to do, please play".

Xie Suqing, who was standing behind Han Xuan, took a step out of the line and said, "I have my own play."

Xiao Zhinan said calmly: "Speak."

Xie Suqing took out a folder from her sleeve, and said in a deep voice, "This is King Yan's crime, please read it Your Highness."

Zhang Baisui stepped forward to take the notebook and handed it to Xiao Zhinan.

Xiao Zhinan roughly flipped the page, and said in a solemn voice: "Xiao Li, the king of Yan, because of his surly behavior, Emperor Taizong Wen once cut down his vassal power, and then Emperor Gao Zongsu thought of the kindness of the monarch and his relatives, forgiven him, and made him a patriarch. The family order of the government. However, he failed to repent, and his behavior was unjustified and unpopular. He also conspired against Fu Zhongtian, threatened the officials and officials, and disturbed the court. What virtue can he do? It is extremely disobedient, so it is still necessary to depose him, cut his prince, take his fief, demote him as a commoner, and confine him to the clan's mansion."

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty respectfully lead the decree.

The six characters 120 announced the fate of King Yan.

He was demoted to a common man and imprisoned in the clan mansion.
