Chapter 676 – Cannonballing the Palace of the Golden Emperor
On the Golden Palace, Xiahou Di sits high in the dragon chair, Wang Bo serves beside him, the ministers are divided into left and right, the atmosphere is grim and solemn.
Many people are drumming in their hearts.
The empress is, after all, force coup on the stage, so far Ji Wuyou is still locked up in jail, the original Prince House and garden around the emperor’s cronies have been decimated, I do not know is the empress of the order, or Xue Mu back her dry. In fact, many people feel that it should be Xiahou Di herself who gave the order, once she made up her mind to do something, she was more ruthless than many people, and completely possessed the qualities of an emperor. In contrast instead, Xue Mu is a few points more merciful and soft ……
At this moment, the courtiers who were once deeply entangled with Ji Wuyou have all been imprisoned, and even the seat of the prime minister, the head of the hundred officials, is empty there, saying that it is a farewell to the old man, but also did not see the send-off.
As for Ji Wuyou, many people suspect that he will not live through tonight, probably the matter of three feet of white silk.
No one dares to say half a word for him, everyone is afraid of the Queen’s butcher knife to cut on their own head, after all, Ji Wuyou as the emperor, who normal officials and he did not have a few involved? How many of them hadn’t expressed their loyalty?
Wang Bo …… is now the Queen’s trusted eunuch, Eunuch Wang, is reading out the reward, the first sentence is: “Changxin Marquis Xue Mu, public loyalty to the country, the work of the world, granting the title of the first class Luding Duke, the actual ten thousand households …… ”
People quietly turned their heads to look at Xue Mu, but saw Xue Mu stunned and opened his mouth, seemed to want to say something but shook his head in tears and laughter.
In this life, the title is not related to the fake eunuch is it …… Forget it, the title of Lord Wei is still quite good.
Eunuch Wang paused for a moment, and then continued to read: “…… Add the left minister, the general control of the world should be a martial matter. Give the original Qi Wangfu for Luding Gongfu, give python robe and jade belt, instant entry to the palace, no need to pass. Entering the court without tending, the sword track to the temple, and give a seat in front of the temple.”
Soon there were eunuchs carrying backrest chairs, nodding their heads and placing them beside Xue Mu. Xue Mu comfortably sat down, looking at the group of ministers hanging their heads and not daring to speak, the heart is very cool.
Xiahou Di was so close to explicitly saying that he shared the world with the king.
Oh, also explicitly said that the palace is open to you, waiting for you to come Oh.
In fact, the courtiers also know that this is the proper meaning of the topic, even regardless of the adulterous relationship between this empress and Xue Mu, just today Xue Mu’s power, want to set up a baby himself as a regent are completely no problem. He did not mention any requirements in this regard, Xiahou Di of course should give himself, to what no one dares to have an opinion.
What’s more, these two are obviously full of adultery, left hand to right hand thing is even more nothing to say.
“Honor Empress Dowager Liu as Empress Dowager Ci Sheng.”
“Lingzhou is incorporated into Yi Prefecture and changed to Yi Prefecture. Star and moon clan virtual real ding shi town yizhou a territory, listed as the eight major clans, star and moon clan master eternal vassal. The former governor of Yizhou, Huang Yongkun, dismissed from his post and investigated, relocated Lingzhou county governor Zhang Bai Ling to be the governor of Yizhou.”
“With Marquis of Wei Su Xuan Zhe to lead the Department Six Chief Constable, with Jade Constable Tie Shan Shan as a supplement, and Department Six personnel replacing each other level by level.”
“Last night’s shocking change in the capital, the city defense department corpses, the commander removed from his post to investigate. Relocated Secret Detective Division master Chu Tianming as Department Six Jade Brand constable, temporarily leading the city defense inspection.”
“With Eunuch Wang as the shadow guards commander, temporary concurrently the forbidden guards commander, to be masked tournament duel, to the winner to lead the forbidden guards.”
“Still take Li Xiaolin as the chief of the Great Interior and head of the Hall of Offerings.”
“Take Li Yingqing to temporarily replace the Chief of World Transportation.”
“Use Chen Qianzhen to temporarily replace the chief editor of the world’s newspapers, and transfer Star and Moon Sect’s Li Xiaorui to the capital to share the management of cultural and entertainment propaganda with Ai Xiaoxiao.”
“The rest of the vacancies will be organized and elected by the Ministry of Mandarins and agreed upon at a later date.”
“A ceremony for the entry of the world’s clans into the congratulations will be held three days later.”
Department Six, General Administration of Transportation, Editor-in-Chief of Publications, originally all are Xiahou Di himself personally part-time duties, plus also assisting the state in the court, simply unlimited energy, Xue Mu even do not know how in the end this guy can manage over. At this moment all broken down out, at ease with a very promising career as an emperor.
As one article was read out, people’s hearts slowly sighed in relief. In addition to Governor Huang of Yizhou and the City Defense Department commander was removed from his post for questioning, the hundred officials present all stayed in their original posts, and all have been rewarded, the lowest also rewarded a little bit of gold and silver. Even the old noble side have left the bottom, let the masked competition winners to be the commander, in order to collect the collective hearts and minds.
This was a typical practice of a new ruler to stabilize people’s hearts, and did not set off any signs of high-handed terror.
Completely put down the big stone in the heart of the hundred officials group rises and worship: “Long live the emperor ……”
Watching the group of officials salute the mountain, Xiahou Di’s gaze moved slightly and looked at Xue Mu.
Xue Mu was also looking at her.
Between the two gazes flowing, it was as if they had experienced a thousand words.
This world affairs …… is really like a dream.
On the first day of stabilizing the dynasty, the layout of the kingdom had not yet begun, the hundred officials dispersed the dynasty, but Xue Mu did not leave.
Wang Bo Du with a derisive smile, leading the eunuchs and palace maidens to avoid far away, vaguely guarding all the roads near the left side of the Golden Palace.
The temple is left sitting in the dragon chair Xiahou Di, and Xue Mu sitting not far in front of her.
Two people quietly stared at each other, after a long time at the same time a smile.
Xue Mu laughed: ”Sitting down here like this and looking at you, your face is a little blurry, listening to the people’s shouts, it feels very far away, very unreal. Sitting here today has been a bit of a trance, sitting up here with this empress, is it really the Chief Constable I know?”
“Isn’t this what you’ve been aiming for all along? Now it is loaded.”
“Fear that you really become far.”
Xiahou Di shook her head and said, “Above the imperial throne, the intentional creation of a sense of distance and admiration is only to deepen the majesty of the emperor. In reality, the majesty is not created by this trick, and will not become far away because of this, how can you also have the views of a mortal?”
“I’m originally a mortal, many things even if I know them, I can’t get rid of the feelings of a mortal when I really face them head on.” Xue Mu stood up and walked a few points closer, “I still want to see you up close.”
Xiahou Di bit her lower lip, “Then you …… come closer.”
Empty hall, Xue Mu’s leather boots stepped on it, step by step, came “simple-minded” echo, every step closer, Xiahou Di’s heartbeat will become one point faster, she subconsciously pinch the dragon chair on both sides of the armrests, that originally in the court when the serious face slowly began to crimson.
Xue Mu stood in front of her.
Xiahou Di looked up and whispered, “This is me looking up at you.”
Xue Mu lifted her chin, Xiahou Di did not have a trace of resistance and quietly looked into his eyes, the meaning in them was hard to understand.
She whispered, “I know your little bit of bad taste, in the Questioning Sword Sect just messing around with Mu Jianli in the Patriarch’s Questioning Sword Pavilion, and in the Seven Xuan Valley also messing around with Mo Xuexin …… in their clan’s key land like that gives you a lot of satisfaction?”
Xue Mu laughed: “It’s been said that I’m just a mortal, who doesn’t think so.”
“So you plan to have me in the Golden Palace, right on top of the dragon chair?”
“The dragon chair is very wide.” Xue Mu slowly lowered his head down and kissed her sexy lips.
Xiahou Di nervously pinched the armrests and said sharply, “Last night I that was just a moment of anger …… doesn’t mean that I can just talk to you …… oooh …… ”
Xue Mu directly blocked her red lips, and the two of them unconsciously and slowly leaned back in the middle of the kiss, lying down on the wide dragon chair.
“Once said, I want to fix the emperor, so that you and I can join forces …… ” Xue Mu slightly separated a little bit, whispered: “Now I’m here to fix the emperor… …Will Your Majesty allow Xiahou Di and Xue Mu to marry?”
Xiahou Di’s heart skipped a beat, and her eyes became more and more misty. After panting lowly for a while, she whispered, “What if I …… what if I don’t allow it?”
“Then I will have to teach this empress a lesson ……” Xue Mu attached his ear and whispered: “Teach until she agrees.”
Xiahou Di subconsciously caught his hand, nervously looked around the circle: “Can we change the place ……”
“This is revenge …… for the bad woman who was planning to stab me at the first meeting, I am going to stab you.”
“You vindictive and careful man …… Ah, lighten up, you asshole!”
“Union? Your Majesty?”
“What else is there to join in marriage, the face of this Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty has been rubbed under you ……”
Above the most solemn golden palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the most instinctive echoes between men and women eventually swirled.
