Outlaws start by climbing to the top of the martial arts wanted list

Chapter 303 King Qian
Imperial capital, East Pavilion.

Strands of golden threads hang down like a curtain, separating the inside and the outside.

The emperor was wearing a Taoist robe and sitting cross-legged on a cushion. There was an incense burner in front of him. The smoke was rising like fairy air, filling the all directions and constantly rising and rolling.

There were chairs placed outside, and people from various institutions, including the left and right prime ministers, the heads of the six ministries, the general, the Ministry of Clan Affairs, the Six Gates, the Garrison, the Imperial Observatory, the Demon-Suppressing Hall, etc., had all arrived.

There was not a single official standing; all of them were sitting.

The small East Pavilion now gathers more than twenty people in the celestial realm, which can be said to be earth-shaking.

The realm of heaven and man is as common as free cabbages and has begun to spread everywhere.

But as long as you understand their identities, you will know that all this is normal. These are the people standing at the top of the Middle-earth Divine Land, and each of them has the ability to influence the world.

These are people who can sit down and discuss philosophy with the emperor.

The emperor frowned slightly. It was originally just a small gathering in the East Pavilion, but he never expected that more and more people would come.

Chief Steward Hong was standing by the side, holding a Buddhist whisk in his hand and slightly hunched over. As a maid struck a golden bell, Chief Steward Hong shook the whisk to attract everyone's attention and began to speak with a smile, "I have invited you all here to discuss three matters."

"The King of Yue colluded with the Eighth Generation to frame His Highness."

"Chen Wangdao framed the prince."

"The name of the Grand Prince has been registered and filed with the Imperial Clan Bureau. Next we will discuss the title of the Grand Prince."

After Chief Steward Hong finished speaking, he took a step back to show his respect for the emperor, and looked at the ministers calmly.

Without any time gap, Shangguan Taishi took the initiative to stand up and said in a deep voice: "The King of Yue is plotting treason, there is nothing to say."

"This is an unpardonable crime, and the person should be executed."

"But he is your Majesty's son after all, so please show some leniency and allow him to be kept in a house."

Huang Taiquan looked up at Shangguan Taishi, who had a solemn expression. This old fox had always been as still as a mountain. He would never take the initiative to express his opinion on anything, but would make plans before taking action, letting others charge into battle. In the end, even if something happened, he would not be implicated.

I never thought that Shangguan Taishi would one day play the role of charging into battle.

While Huang Taiquan was thinking, he slowly stood up and directly supported the speech: "I saw the matter of the King of Yue with my own eyes, and the evidence is conclusive and ironclad."

"I support the left prime minister."

It was really the opposite of Tian Gang. Many people watched this scene with suspicious eyes and kept looking around.

When did the two prime ministers start to take the lead?

Ever since a certain person entered the imperial capital, the situation in the world has become wrong everywhere.

However, most people have no objection to such punishment. If it were the prince, there would definitely be a lot of opposition.

But the King of Yue let it go.

Even though the King of Yue was the only prince and had great influence before a certain person appeared, he did not have many supporters in the court.

Especially now that the people summoned are all important ministers, it is even rarer. Even if there are one or two, now that Shangguan Taishi and Huang Taiquan have spoken, they dare not speak, for fear of causing trouble for themselves.

Seeing that there were no objections and no other opinions, other people slowly began to speak up and express their support.

Xiong Shilong agreed numbly and is still the Minister of Justice, only because the incident has not yet ended. When Dou Changsheng is crowned king and everything is settled, he will definitely be dismissed from office and stripped of his title.

Therefore, Xiong Shilong lost interest in everything, and he didn't dare to give up.

If you are dismissed from office and stripped of your title, you will only sacrifice yourself, and it will only be your official position, not your life. If you dare to say something you shouldn't say, not only will you die, but your entire family will also be implicated.

The sound echoed with the striking of the golden bell.

Chief Butler Hong stepped forward and said, "The matter of the King of Yue has been resolved. What about the second matter?"

The Minister of Rites said in a categorical voice: "Chen Wangdao was already dead. Now that he is alive again, he has lost his mind and is talking nonsense. He may be manipulated."

"There's no need to delve into it. Just kill him."

Huang Taiquan glanced at the Minister of Rites and then at Shangguan Taishi. Shangguan Taishi sat calmly and did not pursue him relentlessly. If Chen Wangdao had not died, he would naturally have great value. Now that he is dead, people will make a fuss about it. There is no need to waste energy on this.

Xiao Wangzhi and his men were unwilling to be lonely and wanted to make a fuss about this, but Shangguan Taishi thought it was unnecessary and too petty.

The Eastern Palace is not so easy to shake, and humiliating him once or twice is too slow, especially when the emperor personally stepped in and began to lend a hand to the prince. Such things were not painful at all.

After all, the emperor had already determined in advance that Chen Wangdao had framed the prince, and what was being discussed was the punishment, not whether the prince had colluded with Chen Wangdao.

There was no resistance to this matter. Chen Wangdao had just been resurrected and was about to be stabbed again.

After this matter was settled, when discussing the third matter, the ministers looked solemn, because the real finale was coming.

This is the key point regarding the arrangement for Dou Changsheng.

It would definitely not work to return to his ancestral home and become just an ordinary prince without any rewards.

He had to give face to Buddhism and King Nagarjuna Buddha, and being crowned king was inevitable.

But there are too many considerations when it comes to what kind of king to confer.

Countries like Qin and Jin were big countries, and naturally very prominent, but there were also some unknown kings, and there were also some small countries, such as the King of Dai, etc.

As for the two-character king, there is no need to mention it, as it has not yet reached this level.

The emperor didn't dare to give it, as the humiliation was greater than the honor.

So everyone watched without surprise as Shangguan Taishi stood up again and spoke directly: "King Wu."

Just two words, no more.

The King of Wu is inferior to the King of Qin and the King of Jin.

But this title of king is very special, because the emperor sitting above him was named King of Wu when he was in his former residence.

Therefore, the King of Wu became special and had extraordinary significance. The title of King of Wu was of extraordinary significance. It can be said that the two words "Shangguan Taishi" revealed his ambition so obvious that he was too lazy to even conceal it.

There had been no arguments over the first two events, but now, as Shangguan Taishi finished speaking, someone immediately rejected him as the left prime minister. The Minister of Rites said in a deep voice, "Although Wu and Yue are also great countries, they are not as prominent as Qin and Jin."

"With your noble status, you should choose between these two."

"Wei, Chu, and Qi are all OK."

Shangguan Taishi did not argue, but kicked Huang Taiquan's chair. He was so arrogant now.

Ever since he cut his own throat with a knife, Shangguan Taishi stopped pretending and did whatever he wanted, completely letting himself go.

Huang Taiquan was steady. This kick certainly couldn't make him fall to the ground. It was just a signal. Huang Taiquan glanced at Shangguan Taishi, who was now fighting shirtless. He didn't consider any room for maneuver and ignored everything. He really charged into battle for Dou Changsheng.

Shangguan Taishi was willing, but Huang Taiquan naturally was not willing.

If it weren't for the message from the Queen Mother, he would not have been willing to go with Shangguan Taishi to catch the adulterous King of Yue.

Not to mention that the case of King Yue's treason was confirmed.

If Shangguan Taishi was just hinting, Huang Taiquan would definitely turn a blind eye to it, but this guy kicked him directly. If he didn't react, he was afraid that Shangguan Taishi would push him directly next time.

He has no demeanor of a left-wing prime minister at all and is extremely shameless, without even a trace of dignity left.

Huang Taiquan cursed Shangguan Taishi in his heart. Shangguan Taishi was willing to lose face and was not afraid of it, but he still had to save face.

Huang Taiquan pondered and said, "His Highness has just returned and was directly named the King of Qin and the King of Jin. In the end, it is a bit too prominent."

"I think Wu is also a great country."

Before Huang Taiquan could finish his words, the chief of the clan affairs office objected, saying, "Prince Wu cannot do this. It is too unfair to Your Highness."

"Although it was Your Majesty who put an end to the chaos in the imperial capital, everyone in the imperial capital knows that Your Majesty has made great contributions and is known as a living saint."

"Such a great achievement must be praised. Failure to reward meritorious service is a recipe for disaster."

"King Qin."

One after another spoke up and the situation became chaotic.

The emperor watched this scene coldly. Since many of the ministers summoned by the East Pavilion came uninvited, the emperor had expected this scene. He originally planned to summon some important ministers to hold a small meeting to settle things, but the others must have their own ideas when they came. It was no surprise that they were all reinforcements for his cheap son.

"enough."

A scolding voice sounded.

This sound did not come from the inner hall, but from outside the door.

The Empress came in her gorgeous attire, her long skirt trailing the ground. After entering the East Pavilion, she spoke coldly, "You are all important officials in the court. How can you quarrel like this?"

"If someone sees this, it will be a disgrace to you all."

"It doesn't matter if he's the King of Wu or the King of Qin."

"He is just a prince."

"King Qian!"

What is a big hand?

This is the big shot.

This statement was so shocking that everyone who had stood up to salute staggered and almost fell down.

You have to know that this is a first-class martial arts expert at the heavenly realm, but he is just like an ordinary mortal. It is enough to show how great the impact of this sentence is on them. They lost their minds for a moment and ignored everything.

The King of Qin and the King of Wu are simply weak compared to this King Qian.

Qian is the name of the country!

From ancient times to the present, there has been absolutely no one who has claimed to be a king by the name of his country.

Some of them first called themselves the King of Qin, then established the State of Qin and called themselves the Emperor of Qin.

For example, Emperor Taizu was first called King Qian, and finally he offered sacrifices to heaven and was proclaimed emperor, thus opening up Daqian.

This is the first time this has ever happened.

There are often crown princes, but there is only one King Qian.

The previous one was Taizu.

Shangguan Taishi looked at Tianfei with a look of admiration. She was indeed the enchanting concubine he had identified. She was truly extraordinary.

I was not wrong about her. She was indeed the only one who could bring chaos to the court.

What a bold and outrageous idea this is. Most people, due to their limited thinking, would never think of it.

The simple words from the Queen Mother of Heaven opened up a new world for Shangguan Taishi. His mind was broadened, as if he had broken free from his shackles, seen through the illusion, glimpsed the truth, and began to sublime.

It turns out the world is so wonderful.

Shangguan Taishi directly supported the speech: "As the Grand Master of the Imperial Clan said, Your Highness has made great contributions and must be rewarded."

"The only living saint who can match her is King Qian."

"Yes."

"King Qian is really good."

"It's a perfect fit."

Supporters naturally spoke up, and soon the voices of opposition followed.

Watching everyone quarreling again, the Heavenly Concubine lifted the golden thread and walked directly into the inner hall. She looked at the emperor and said, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"What if you think King Qian is not suitable?"

"Then the eldest prince is not bad either."

"There is more than one king, why is there only one prince?"

"The prime ministers are divided into left and right. Now we have a crown prince. A small crown prince is also fine. If you don't like the left crown prince, the right crown prince is also fine."

Chief Steward Hong put down the futon himself, and the Concubine Tian sat down, staring at the emperor, waiting for his reply.

The emperor's expression became gloomy and he no longer concealed it. This was the first time the emperor lost his composure.

He hasn't lost his composure in front of outsiders for many years and never lets outsiders see his true emotions.

The emperor knew that his every move would be watched by countless people. If he showed interest in something, then countless people below who were speculating would take action.

This was not a good thing. It was as if he was seen through, like a monkey, which was what the emperor hated the most.

But this time the emperor was still shocked by the words of the Concubine Tian.

King Qian was very surprised.

Later, the eldest prince and the younger prince came.

The Crown Prince is the heir to the throne and the foundation of the Daqian nation. How noble is that? How can there be two of them?
As the saying goes, there is no two suns in the sky and no two masters on earth.

If there are more princes, is it still the foundation of the country?

Seeing the emperor's cold eyes and angry expression, the concubine laughed. After a chuckle, she said mockingly, "Your Majesty."

"Please ask him to come back. This is what you meant."

"Now you are trapped in your own trap."

"It's a pity."

"It's easy to ask God but hard to send him away."

"But it's not that there's no room for redemption. Just keep treating him well."

"Then you will have a loving father and filial son."

The Concubine slowly approached the emperor, blew a breath into his ear with her ruddy lips, and then spoke in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you don't want the world to know the truth, right?"

The emperor's anger suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if it had been taken away by someone.

He looked at Tianfei with a cannibalistic gaze, as if he wanted to swallow her alive.

This is a threat.

If you don't obey her.

She revealed Dou Changsheng's true identity to the public.

At that time, she would naturally be in trouble, but she would not be able to get away with it either.

Because if Dou Changsheng knew the real situation, who knows what he would do. And if Taizu knew it, it would lead to the current consequences, and even the possibility of Daqian being usurped. It's all because of me.

The emperor shuddered at the thought of such consequences.

The emperor stood up and said coldly, "It's King Qian."

After saying that, he turned and left.

The murderous words rang in Tian Fei's ears: "Just this once, it won't happen again."

Tianfei laughed and said, if there is one, there will be two.

Looking at the surprised crowd, he waved his hand and said, "Why are you standing there? Go and pass on the order."

"Go and welcome your great King Qian."

"Oh, that was a slip of the tongue."

"It's Your Highness."
