Your Majesty the Empress, I am really not a traitor!

Now that Qin Ji is in front of him, he can be right in whatever he says, because at this time he can completely suppress the ministers and princes in the court, and what Xia Yuxiao wants is for Qin Ji to put the matter of Li Chu behind. Just push.

Now she wants to let the following people have no reason to stand up the prince.Because once the crown prince is erected, these guys will gather under the crown prince.

"What do you think?"

Of course, after all, she is still a wise monarch who accepts advice widely. This matter must not be acted arbitrarily, and the opinions of the ministers should be asked.

"I agree with this matter. Several ancestors have used similar methods before, and the princes elected are all reliable people. I think this method is enough to convince the public."

General Bai was the first to speak in favor of such an approach.

From the moment he entered the hall, General Bai did not say a word, but at this moment, his approval forced many ministers in the court to stand in line.

tnnd, the two biggest bigwigs in Daxia's military have spoken, if they don't make a statement, it will not be a good life in the future.

"The minister thinks this method is feasible."

"My minister agrees."

"My minister agrees."

Everyone is competing to express their opinions, so there are always people who are awkward there.

Among them naturally include the princes such as Zuo He Wang and Qing Ze Wang.

Especially Zuo and Wang, Xia Yuxiao was completely pissed off by the speech just now, she had never done such impolite things as slapping others by herself.

The tit-for-tat confrontation between Zuo and Wang this time was originally intended to promote the division of factions in the court, and to use momentum and reason to make themselves occupy the orthodoxy.

But the premise of being orthodox is that you have enough chess pieces to play against the opponent.

Before this, Zuo Hewang was not afraid of Xia Yuxiao, because at this moment he had the support of all the ministers behind him, and the troops outside the city to exert pressure.

These were cards that were difficult to resist, and it was difficult for Xia Yuxiao to hold back under such pressure.In fact, many ministers in the court are swingers. Once they find that Zuo Hewang and other princes have taken the initiative, they will naturally stand on Zuo Hewang's side.

But they are more thieves and don't do things to the extreme, so when Zuo and Wang are angry at Xia Yuxiao, most of them don't go up to control him-who would go up with this self-destruct truck to kill?What if you Zuo and Wang never broke up with Xia Yuxiao?

Facts have proved that Jiang is still old and hot. The moment these veterans saw Qin Ji appearing, they knew that the power accumulated by the princes had probably lost the initiative.Faced with such a situation, they chose to return to His Majesty without hesitation.

So now, only Zuo and Wang are the most embarrassing ones. As for Qingze Wang, he is not so stunned anyway, so he is not too embarrassed.

"Since that's the case, let's do it this way, and Xia Zongzheng will handle the corresponding matters later."

After saying this, Xia Yuxiao rubbed her temples and let out a long sigh.

"My lords don't know about the military mobilization, and it's for the sake of Daxia Sheji. Since I don't know, I won't add any crime. I just hope that you will put this matter of establishing a reserve for a while in the future. In addition, those other than the establishment of a reserve If so, I can pretend that you didn’t say it.”

When she said this, she quietly paid attention to Qin Ji's reaction.And Qin Ji didn't show any dissatisfaction with her decision.

It explained that Qin Ji probably didn't hear much about what the ministers said to her in hopes of weakening Qin Ji.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

said the ministers.

Since Xia Yuxiao made such a promise, the ministers present felt a little relieved.

"The generals and officers who transferred the troops privately this time will be handed over to the military regiment for disposal by the Taiwei according to the rules of the military regiment."

"The minister will definitely handle this matter properly." Qin Ji said loudly.

"Zuohe Wang disrespected me, and openly provoked in the court, and was suspected of colluding with foreign enemies after investigation. Now Zuohe Wang's title will be revoked, and he will be imprisoned at home for the time being, waiting to be punished."

This time, she didn't intend to show mercy.Not only Zuo and Wang, but this time, the Wei Wei will probably have to be replaced.

Others can let it go, Zuo and Wang, this guy who stalks people in front of her, if she doesn't get rid of him, she really doesn't have much dignity.

Although this time the majesty is not his own.

Chapter 43 Award

Faced with Xia Yuxiao's decision, Zuo and Wang not only showed no fear or regret, but laughed out loud.

His laughter echoed in the hall, making him look a bit desolate.

"Your Majesty, you let me die, but I dare not not die. However," he looked at the emperor in front of him who he was very familiar with, and then sneered, "If you hope that I can ask you for mercy, then you are wrong. Fuck, the big deal is just a big scar, when I get down, I want to see how you, a murderer and betrayer, can argue against your father's spirit in heaven!"

"Killing one's parents and betraying one's father."

Xia Yuxiao felt a little dizzy when she heard this word.

In a trance, she seemed to see King Rong Sheng again - the body of her younger brother, and she seemed to see the complicated eyes of her father looking at her before he died.

Accident?unbelievable?She didn't know, but when the late emperor passed away, he did leave with a smile on his face. Perhaps he had expected such an ending, rather, this was the ending he most hoped to see.

"Are you finished?"

She closed her eyes, let those pictures disappear from her mind completely, and then asked in a cold tone.

Zuo and Wang didn't answer, just laughed.

"After you finish speaking, go down."

She waved her hand, and then ignored Zuo and Wang who were dragged out, but turned around and stared at Xia Qi and the rest of the princes.

Everyone looked at each other.

What happened this time, at a good level, is called the Great Hall Discussion, but at a bad level, it is actually called forcing the palace.

Xia Yuxiao will not really pursue all the ministers who forced the palace, because a large part of these ministers are swing parties. What they fancy is whether they can get any benefits from it, and they will help whoever has the advantage.Although Xia Yuxiao didn't like these swing parties, she still wanted to fight for them.

However, the pressure of the princes is different.

As a family, everyone's surname is Xia, and they are all brothers and sisters, but these princes have the strength to explain what it means to bend their elbows and disrupt the court in order to fight for power. Xia Yuxiao really can't bear such an approach.

And to be honest, she's already so angry, it's not good for her to deal with one or two people in this situation, at least she has to frighten this group of people.But many of the princes came here to catch fish, and it would not be right if they were all severely sentenced, at least those princes, princesses and ministers who joined in the fun should also be beaten.

To put it simply, she didn't want to kill all the princes present, but she didn't want to be cruel, she was so emotional...

Noticing Xia Yuxiao's hesitation, Qin Ji thought for a moment, then immediately turned around and looked at these princes:

"Your lords, what you did today is really wrong. If you have any opinions on His Majesty, you should wait for His Majesty to come back and then make it clear. How can you just make such a claim? You and Your Majesty are a family. To be so tit for tat?"

"Forgive me to speak bluntly, you are too wrong...I can't help you, you have to tie the bell to untie the bell, so please apologize to His Majesty yourself."

After saying this, Qin Ji stepped aside.

Qin Ji gave him a step, King Chunshan was almost the first to react, and he immediately performed a great gift - kneeling on both knees and kowtowing to plead guilty.

"Your Majesty, it's because I'm so stupid that I did rebellious things because I was thinking about the future of Great Xia. The anxiety in my heart caused some people in the court to be influenced by me, which made Your Majesty even more troubled. I deserve to die, I'm sorry for this The title of 'Jin Shan Wang', I implore Your Majesty to take back the title of the minister, and punish the minister!"

Although King Jin Shan had no good intentions, his being the prince also showed that he did have some advantages, for example, he was quick to slip and kneel.

In the face of power and life, what is face?Face is something that he can throw away at any time, when he should show weakness, he will show weakness, and if he should pretend to be pitiful, he will pretend to be pitiful.That's what makes him great.

If it wasn't because he pretended too much back then, maybe the position of emperor really belonged to him.

King Jin Shan knelt down in a clean and smooth manner, and other ministers and princes also hurriedly knelt down and confessed their mistakes - whoever does not admit their mistakes at this moment will simply be unhappy.

Facing King Jinshan's self-blaming and extremely sincere confession attitude, and this time he is really not the main criminal (at least he is still very restrained in the court), Xia Yuxiao really has no reason to punish him severely.

She tapped her head, pretending to have recovered from her anger, and said:

"Forget it, King Jinshan didn't say anything rude in the court hall, and he warned Zuo and Wang several times for their disrespectful behavior. I didn't want to add more crimes. But today King Jinshan participated and entered the hall to make trouble together. Although he is not the main culprit, It can be regarded as an accomplice. How about this, King Chunshan will be fined for a month to reflect at home. As for King Qingze and others, although they speak fiercely, they are not the main offenders, so they will be fined for half a year."

After talking about the result of her handling, Xia Yuxiao looked at Prime Minister Long: "What does the Prime Minister think of this?"

"The minister has no objection."

Prime Minister Long said.

"As for An Guogong Qin Ji..." She looked at Qin Ji, and then showed a smile of unknown meaning,

This smile made Qin Ji feel a little nervous. He knew that once this guy laughed like that, there would probably be nothing good about it, or even if it was a good thing, it would probably be too exciting.

"This time An Guogong, Qin Ji, behaved properly outside and did a great job in saving him; after returning home, he stopped it in time..." Xia Yuxiao thought for a while, and felt that it was a bit too straightforward to say that these ministers were forcing the palace. To put it bluntly, "Stopped the excessive actions of the officials in the court. The credit is very great. Considering the achievements of the Qin family father and son, as well as the fact that Qin Ji was devoted to the master this time, and he risked his life to escort and suppress the rebellion before, I hereby make an exception. , and made Anguo Gong Qin Ji the king of An."

"!?"

All the ministers present were dumbfounded.

It's not that they are ignorant. It's not uncommon for the emperor to confer kings. Xia Yuxiao has conferred several kings since she took office, and they didn't find it unusual.

However, foreign surnames almost did not exist in the history of Daxia—in order to ensure the stability of Daxia, the king of Daxia was only eligible within the royal family, and he had to be from the royal family with the surname Xia, not his relatives.

In history, there have been cases of conferring kings with foreign surnames, but most of them were conferred when the country was in crisis, and the conditions were extremely harsh.But now, Daxia is far from that level.

In the end, Xia Yuxiao came to this unconventional king? !

"I am grateful to Your Majesty for your kindness. I can't repay you for your favor so far. From now on, I will do my best for Your Majesty in order to repay His Majesty's kindness!"

Faced with such a conferment, Qin Ji accepted it with peace of mind.

In fact, to be honest, as far as his current authority is concerned, if he is not crowned king, he is no different from the king, and even has more power than those real princes.On the one hand, Xia Yuxiao's unconventional title was to express her kindness to him to others, and on the other hand, it also showed that after this incident, she had a little trust in him.

At the same time, it was sending a signal to Qin Ji.

That is, from now on, she really wants to tie the two of them together.

In the future, if others want to mess with her, they must first look at his side; in the same way, if they want to mess with him, Qin Ji, they have to weigh Xia Yuxiao's side.

A title that doesn't make much difference whether to seal it or not, can tie the two of them together forcibly, and it seems very natural and reasonable at this juncture just after the coercion incident ended.

Chapter 44 Home

"Your Majesty! Don't be so hasty!"

After reacting, Prime Minister Long couldn't control his emotions, so he hurriedly sounded a reminder.

It was a nightmare for Prime Minister Long to seal the king so hastily.Let's not talk about whether it will make the power struggle in the court more chaotic after being named a king, but if you say that you have a foreign surname as a king, it may be difficult to deal with it in the future.

What if there are still heroes who have made great contributions in the future?You said whether you can be crowned king or not?

"Why? I didn't act hastily. Qin Ji has made such great contributions. If he is not crowned king, what will the subjects of the world think of me? Qin Ji has done it at least twice just to save him. Is this still true? Isn't it enough to be crowned king?"

"No, what I mean is that if you want to become king, your majesty should at least have a corresponding ceremony, and you need to inform the ministries in advance...but now your majesty has made him king so abruptly... ..”

"Prime Minister Long, the fact that conferring a king requires a ceremony has not been said since the earliest ancestors. The earliest conferring a king was just a verbal canonization, not even a fief. But this does not affect the process of conferring a king. Go on. Besides, although my Great Xia is a country of etiquette, I can completely be informal, these etiquette and procedures are nothing more than icing on the cake, and I don't need it for the time being."

Xia Yuxiao actually knew what her prime minister meant.

The conferment of the king was too "sloppy", and he didn't even prepare for the ceremony of conferring the king, let alone inform all parties in advance according to the previous regulations.Such actions can be called reckless.

However, what Xia Yuxiao wanted was such a "reckless".
