Too much fruit

Chapter 669 Jiang Sikong goes to court

When the sky was bright, Jiang Li's body shape changed, turning into light and shadow, flying out from the entanglement of pink legs and jade arms, and fell outside the bed.

He first used the innate energy to cleanse his body, then looked at the dressing mirror in Tianxuan's room and nodded with satisfaction.

"I was so energized by the wine and sex."

Jiang Li's face in the mirror looked much better than before. This was because the injuries in his body had improved due to dual cultivation, and the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skills had even improved. As soon as I gained the understanding of the mysterious skills contained in the Dao Fruit, I had two women, Tianxuan and Gongsun Qingyue, to help me. It would be strange if I didn't improve.

"Come again tonight." Jiang Li said quite satisfied.

"It's okay to be a teacher, but I'm afraid Qingyue won't be able to do it."

There was teasing laughter from the bed, but it was Tianxuan lying on her side, supporting her head with one hand, and talking with a smile.

She took most of the firepower last night. As for Gongsun Qingyue, it can only be said that she was far behind and is still resting now.

Hearing Tianxuan's teasing, Gongsun Qingyue opened his eyes and glanced at her. It seemed that he was not too tired to wake up, but he was too lazy to talk more.

Ru Shui's eyes showed both confidence in Jiang Li and arrogance in his own abilities.

Thinking of this, Tianxuan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

In the early morning dynasty of the Great Zhou Dynasty, unlike Jiang Li's previous life, he went out before dawn. The world of cultivation naturally has the convenience of cultivation, which can reduce some unnecessary steps. But even in the Great Zhou Dynasty, around Chen time, it was basically the end of the morning dynasty or even the end, and the officials returned to their posts to fish and work.

The word "future" is really cheap for Qingyue.

Tianxuan's eyes were covered with mist, and she cursed again: "You traitor!"

The Ziwei Temple that was destroyed in the past has been rebuilt. Thanks to the help of magic, although it did not take long, it was not ambiguous at all. It can be said that the original Ziwei Temple was perfectly recreated.

This made her frown. After cleaning with her true energy, she stopped wearing clothes. She simply walked to Jiang Li and took out a set of scarlet robes out of thin air.

Logically speaking, even if his strength is not as good as Jiang Li's, Gongsun Qingyue shouldn't be so exhausted. However, when he and Jiang Li cultivate together, their energy, energy and spirit are both at the same time. Even at the fifth level, it is really difficult for them to conquer.

Jiang Li did not deny Tianxuan's words. He put his arms around his slender waist and slid his palms, "As the saying goes, if the master has something to do, the disciple will do it. Since the master has given the order, how can I refuse? However, after the apprentice has finished the errand, the master will also do it." It must be rewarded, this is a normal relationship between master and disciple.”

Jiang Li stretched out his hand, enjoying Tianxuan's help, while shaking his head and sighing: "Although there is a Buddhist kingdom after the Taiping Sect, this short-term peace is enough to make them ready to move. There is also Tu Bo, who practices the "Yin Fu Sutra" "After that, the more my strength increases, the greater my character changes. In the past, I might have tolerated it, but now it is absolutely impossible."

Because the outer robe is a heavenly robe or a cloud robe, it is not afraid of damage, but the inner robe is not in good condition.

"Tianjun is really impeccable in his actions. Even if he temporarily hides behind the scenes, he will not allow us to be safe."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly tensed up and became stiff all over.

"But it's not difficult for you to take over, isn't it?" Tianxuan said with a smile.

As for why Tianxuan didn't go, part of the reason was to take care of Gongsun Qingyue, and part of it was to let Jiang Li also have some say in the Gongsun family. This time, it was not only the head of the Jiang family who went to court, but also the son-in-law of the future head of the Gongsun family, who could speak on behalf of the Gongsun family.

"Peace has been established, and the Ji family is probably planning to let the eldest princess return to power, and even single out the prince."

Tianxuan wanted to put on the palace skirt first, but as soon as she moved, something liquid started to flow down her ankles and accidentally dripped onto the palace skirt.

Red and moon-white ones are everywhere, and obvious signs of tearing can be seen.

The Battle of Liangzhou quelled the Taiping Sect rebels and brought temporary stability to the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now it is time to discuss the merits. Therefore, even if he still wanted to spend three days and three nights, Jiang Li had to go to the court today to show the princes the latest powerful minister.

"My whole being is yours, what else do you want?" Tianxuan couldn't help laughing and scolding.

Moreover, dual cultivation has also brought considerable benefits. Now the true energy in her body is rushing like the tide of a river. Even if her energy is restored, she must first transfer the true energy.

At midnight, the sky was already bright, and the officials from the early morning court were also present one by one.

"That's it, the sister who also wants to be a teacher?" Tianxuan saw this and continued to tease.

Tu Bo is now like those practitioners whose skills suddenly increased dramatically, and his self-confidence has also skyrocketed. Under the influence of the "Yin Fu Jing", his state of mind has become difficult to control his strength, and nothing he does is unexpected.

"There...you——"

This time, Jiang's reputation as a wild and rebellious person really cannot be removed.

This kind of disobedient act made Tianxuan grind his teeth. Ever since Pad's ambition was exposed, this villain has been focusing on this place to show his advantage. He really does not have the responsibility that Tianxuan's disciples should have at all, let alone Be filial.

But today, at Chen time, all the officials were still standing honestly without saying a word.

······
······
royal palace.

——The head of the Gongsun family, and the new Sikong.

Because there are still two key people who are not present.

"Young Qingyue is so unsatisfactory. You are so tired and you still have to take care of me. Today, you can go alone to meet the old guys in the court."

Although Gongsun Qingyue was powerless, she was not willing to be outdone. She puffed out her chest, showing that big breasts meant she was powerful.

After Tianxuan said this, she also stood up, letting her waterfall-like hair hang down to her waist, and walked to the clothes scattered on the ground.

Judging from the current situation, the new Sikong seems to want to give him a show of strength.

Jiang Li, a powerful official, has just been released and is expected to have a run-in with the royal family.

Without these two, the morning court really couldn't start.

This is the apprentice she taught with her own hands, how could she be afraid of such tricks?

Tianxuan said as she put on complicated robes for Jiang Li.

Jiang Li felt that he could get into Tianxuan's bed partly because she taught him.

"You can be proud of this."

It's just that this power has been too long.

The eldest princess, who was sitting next to the dragon chair, was getting a little impatient with the waiting. She couldn't help but murmur in her heart: 'Could it be that the master and disciple really got involved? '

Although it was the eldest princess who was the one who pulled the string in the first place, the eldest princess actually didn't believe it if the old enemy started to eat young grass. After all, that is Tianxuan.

Thinking of this, the eldest princess couldn't help but become curious, wanting to determine where Tianxuan and Jiang Li had gone.

Time passed slowly while waiting, and at the quarter hour, shouts rang out from outside the hall.

"Jiang Sikong is here." He was not called by his name, but by his position. This is a special treatment that praises his name without paying homage. Even the emperor would only call him "Sikong" instead of "Jiang Li". When the imperial power was in the upper hand, this was the emperor's preferential treatment for his ministers.

And when the imperial power declined, the emperor could no longer call his ministers by their first names, and the reputation of the ministers caught up with the emperor's to some extent.

Therefore, basically, praising names but not worshiping them is inseparable from powerful officials.

When entering the court, you can walk without hesitation, without deliberately controlling your pace to show respect.

In front of the Ziwei Palace, Jiang Li was dressed in Jiuzhang's clothes, with a long sword on his waist, striding forward. The aura of a dragon and a tiger seemed to herald the arrival of a new era, and all the officials couldn't help but change their expressions. .

The wind direction in the court seemed to be changing.

Even King You and Meng Jun, who were sitting at the head of the hall, were watching the figure entering the hall, their eyes especially lingering on Jiang Li's robe for a long time.

The vermilion robe has nine chapters on it, which represents the position of the king and the three princes, but it is different from ordinary royal robes.

According to the system of the Zhou Dynasty, the emperor's clothes are decorated with twelve chapters, including twelve kinds of seals: sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons, Zongyi, Huazhong, algae, fire, rice, embroidery, and postscript; Wang Jue, San Gong followed with nine chapters of Mountain Dragon, and Jiu Qing followed with seven chapters of Hua Chong.

The difference between the emperor and the king lies in the three chapters of sun, moon and stars.

However, in the nine chapters of Jiang Li's robe, Chinese insects and rice noodles were replaced by the sun and the moon. This represents the status of the head of the Jiang family and the power to share the power of the country. No one in the royal family other than the emperor can wear this uniform.

Everyone knew the meaning of this nine-piece uniform, and Jiang Lifu wore this uniform as soon as he officially entered the court, which seemed to represent a certain intention.

Under the gaze of everyone, Jiang Li strode to the head of the palace, then turned around and looked around at the officials, saying with a smile: "Everyone, I've been waiting for a long time. The master is in ill health, and I have a few words before leaving alone. It's her wish that Gu Lai take over the power of Gongsun's family."

As soon as these words came out, King You immediately frowned.

The head of the Jiang family enjoys the title of king and nobility, so there is no problem in saying that he is a lonely person. But no problem, no problem. The heads of the Jiang family in the past dynasties would still avoid the taboo a little, mainly using official positions or other self-proclaimed names instead of being lonely.

Most of the time, this kind of self-identification is reserved exclusively for the kings of the Ji family.

There is also the matter of Tianxuan asking Jiang Li to exercise his power...
This posture of turning the elbows outward is impossible to act.

King You couldn't even figure out what kind of ecstasy soup Jiang Li poured into Tianxuan to make her trust this Jiang family child so much.

For a moment, King You's heart was filled with ups and downs, and his face became gloomy.

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the palace quickly became tense, and a storm was about to come.

"Since the head of the Gongsun family expressed it this way, then we will follow the wishes of the head of the Gongsun family."

When the eldest princess saw the change in the atmosphere, she immediately spoke to support Jiang Li and said at the same time: "Come here, give me a seat."

Someone immediately moved a chair to the left and right and moved it to the head of the hall, right under King You.

Then, the eldest princess said: "Liangzhou has been settled, and the Taiping Sect has finally been destroyed. Sikong deserves the most credit for this. What do you think Sikong should be rewarded for?"

"not busy."

After the eldest princess finished speaking, King You immediately continued: "I thought there was one more thing that needed to be decided quickly before we can decide on Jiang Sikong's merits."

He stood up, faced the eldest princess, and said loudly: "When the emperor was assassinated, he moved to Nanyuan to recuperate, and when the Taiping rebels made trouble, the situation in the court was shaken. Fortunately, the eldest princess was ordered to supervise the country and take charge of the court, and we were able to tide over the difficulties. Now that the rebels have been determined, I think I should welcome the emperor back to the palace and take charge of the government again. "

The words were said so loudly that the hall fell into silence.

Immediately afterwards, several courtiers came out, bowed for a long time, and said: "I second the proposal."

Officials from the Second Prince's faction all agreed, saying that now that the chaos had been settled, it was time to welcome the Emperor back to the palace.

And if the emperor returns to the palace, the eldest princess will of course have to return to power.

As for whether the emperor can regain control of the government after returning to the palace, that is a matter for later. Anyway, let the eldest princess put down her power to supervise the country first.

King You said, and asked the two three princes present: "Master Meng, Jiang Sikong, what do you think? The eldest princess is a woman, so there is something wrong after all. These days, there have been a lot of rumors inside and outside the divine capital. It’s said that Si Chen is a heifer, so I should be careful. Besides, the eldest son-in-law..."

King You didn't finish his words, but the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

It's okay for Si Chen to say that it's just some rumors after all, but it's hard to explain Feng Manlou's side.

The Ji family's son-in-law has been exposed as a member of the Feng family and has a relationship with the Great Lord of the Demon God Sect, which has become a major weakness of the eldest princess. The Great Master is the person who assassinated the Emperor. Anyone who has a relationship with him is unclean. Even if he directly kills the Dragon King's son-in-law, it is not too much.

Jiang Li also figured it out. The Yin Lu Division had not taken action before, but they just wanted to use it now.

In times of crisis, he doesn't say anything when he needs someone to support him, but when he gets through the crisis, he starts to settle the accounts again. How can it be possible to make Zhou great again by being with such an insect?
But Jiang Li had to admit that this was a normal official operation, shameless but effective.

Taking advantage of Feng Manlou's flaw, even if the eldest princess wanted to object at this time, she would not be able to speak out. King You's move immediately abolished the eldest princess's right to speak.

'such a pity······'

A hint of ridicule flashed through Jiang Li's heart, and he clapped his hands and said, "King You's words are very kind. The eldest consort has such a relationship with the great king, so we have to be cautious, and the eldest princess should also avoid suspicion due to emotion and reason."

King You: "?"

He originally wanted to ask Meng Jun to speak and see what the eldest prince meant. After all, the Meng family had already backstabbed him once before. Unexpectedly, Meng Jun did not speak, but Jiang Li agreed and stabbed the eldest princess in the back.

King You thought about the meaning of Jiang Li's words. He didn't think that this Jiang boy would be so kind to help him.

The next moment, King You didn't need to think too much, Jiang Li continued: "In Yi Gu's opinion, it is better to let the eldest princess avoid suspicion and return to power. However, the emperor's injury has not improved yet, and we should not do unnecessary things to avoid worsening the situation. The only way is , that is, to choose a suitable person to oversee the country as regent."

"This person should have great righteousness and be able to take charge of the government."

"This person should have great achievements and be able to convince people's hearts."

"This person must be of great virtue and can make the eldest princess, the head of the Gongsun family and all the princes recognize the power of regent."

As King You listened, he felt something was wrong.

Could it be that the person Jiang Li was talking about was himself?

Ji and Jiang share the world, and the first heir under the emperor is naturally the prince. However, the prince is only chosen when the emperor is about to die. The crown prince has not yet been decided, and the next person with great righteousness is not the prince, but the head of the Jiang family.

Jiang Li had just pacified the Taiping Sect, and in terms of great achievements, it was naturally him.

As for the so-called great virtue, it actually means whether the strength of support is sufficient. Sufficient strength means sufficient virtue. The eldest princess, the Gongsun family, and the Imperial Academy, Jiang Li's virtues are really not shallow.

Thinking of this, King You couldn't help but curse in his heart:
'wild ambition! It’s simply arrogant ambition! Tu Bo is right. The Jiang family is indeed rebellious by nature, and they are all rebellious officials and traitors. '
