Chapter 1037 Dragon Chair

Tai Chi Temple

Yang Qinyan, the eldest princess of the Great Sui, sat on a high platform with a veil covering her face. Naturally, she couldn't sit on the dragon chair, so she added a seat next to the dragon chair. Nor can she show her face to anyone, because she is a woman. In any case, the Great Sui has not been destroyed, and the people in the court are still officials of the Great Sui. Therefore, the following people will always come up with the so-called rules and etiquette of the Great Sui, and Yang Qinyan had no choice but to cover his face, and then sit on a step below the right side of the dragon chair.

Because the steps are very narrow, there is no way to put a chair, only a stool. Even so, the width of the stool is almost the same as the steps, and the legs of the two stools on the outside are almost half-overhang, so that the slightest mistake may cause people to fall off the high platform with the stool.

Even so, the courtiers below still had a lot of discussions.

"Da Sui has actually been reduced to the point of letting a woman sit in the court, alas!"

An old guy with a white beard sighed: "According to the rules set by Emperor Taizu back then, people in the harem are not allowed to interfere in politics. So even when the new emperor ascended the throne at a young age, the queen mother sat behind the screen and listened to the government. Now it's good to let a woman sit on the side of the dragon chair, what kind of system! ”

His expression was sad and angry, and it looked like he might die in the next second because he couldn't look past it and serve the emperor.

Others chimed in: "Since ancient times, where has there been a princess listening to politics? The new emperor is young, and there is a precedent before the queen mother listens to the government, but the decisions of the government are mostly coordinated by the auxiliary ministers, and then the decree is made with the new emperor. The Queen Mother is just to see if there is anything wrong and put forward some opinions. It's good now, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military want to look at a woman...... This is a great disgrace. ”

"Ancestral rituals!"

The other old man almost beat his chest and spoke: "If Da Sui doesn't even have the rules, it will be really messy." There is some chaos in the following places, and troops can be sent to quell the rebellion. If the rules are gone, how can this mess be calmed? ”

Standing at the front of the civil official queue was Niu Huilun, a university scholar who came with the Black Flag Army, he just couldn't stop sneering, but he didn't say a word.

On the high platform, Yang Qinyan's face was white and ugly. The people below are clearly bullying her, because she is the only one left in the Yang family, and now it is the Black Flag Army that is in charge in Chang'an City. Those people thought that she was just a puppet posed by Fang Jie, and naturally had no respect for her. Now these people are waiting for the moment when she is deposed, and then they will be the consolidated ministers who welcome the Lifang Xie to ascend the throne and become the emperor.

These people are the most proficient in drilling, and they all thought that Fang Xie would be crowned emperor soon after entering the city, so there was no need to show respect for Yang Qinyan at all. Many people privately discussed that Yang Qinyan was now even an obstacle to Fang Jie's claim to be emperor. If she is not abolished, Fang Jie's title to the emperor will be a bit unjustifiable.

Therefore, the courtiers' thoughts of competing for meritorious service can naturally be understood.

Only by driving the eldest princess out of the court can Fang Xie ascend to the throne.

Yang Qinyan bit her lip tightly, tears rolling in her eyes. But she knew that she couldn't cry, and if she did, the ridicule of the people below would intensify her ridicule. It's only been a few years, and the Yang family is worthless in the eyes of these people.

"If I were her, I wouldn't have come to the Taiji Hall at all. A woman must have the consciousness of a woman, sooner or later she will marry out of Lu, and if she marries out of Lu, she is naturally the princess of Dasui, but where can she still represent the royal family? ”

A speaker of the Imperial Historical Observatory said with a cold face: "When the Duke of Zhenguo arrives in a while, I will stand up!" This is a major event involving the etiquette of the imperial court, how can it be child's play? Even if the town of the country deals with me, I will also speak up impartially! As the imperial envoy of the Imperial Historical Observatory, my duty is to bleed on the end and not turn a deaf ear. ”

Several people around him immediately praised his demeanor.

"Zhenguo Gong has arrived!"

A loud shout rang out outside the hall, and the hall immediately became silent. Everyone turned around and looked at the entrance of the main hall, only to find that Fang Xie didn't know when Lu Dao was already standing there.

Wearing a national unicorn robe, Fang Xie looked more imposing and more imposing. The people in the main hall all fell silent when they saw Fang Xie appear, and no one dared to make any loud noises. They stood in an orderly manner, and then bowed down deeply towards Fang Xie neatly.

Fang Xie walked slowly into the main hall, did not stand in the position of the head of the ministers he should stand, his footsteps did not stop, although slowly but very steadily, he walked to the bottom of the high platform step by step, and after a little muttering, he walked up the steps. The courtiers in the hall all held their breath, waiting for the scene they wanted to see. At this time, some people couldn't help but want to run out and kneel on the ground and shout long live.

Fang Xie walked up to Yang Qinyan and looked down at her.

Through a veil, he also saw her red eyes.

"Someone Coming"

Fang Xie shouted, and more than a dozen Xiao riding schools immediately poured in outside.

Fang Xie stretched out his hand to pull Yang Qinyan up, and then kicked the stool away, and the stool flew out of the wall for a long time, smashing into the wall with a snap. In such a silent and empty hall, the snapping sound was so crisp that everyone who was shocked couldn't help but tremble, and many people were even so frightened that their faces immediately turned white.

Fang Xie pointed to the dragon chair: "Dismantle it." ”

More than a dozen riding schools were stunned for a moment, then ran up, laboriously lifted the heavy dragon chair, and slowly moved to the side of the high platform. Fang Xie turned around and walked out, personally brought a chair and put it in the center of the high platform, and then took Yang Qinyan's hand and walked up to the high platform.

Yang Qinyan was a little stupid as if he was a wooden man. She didn't know what Fang Xie was going to do, but she let him pull her up, and then Fang Xie sat on the chair. Fang Jie's palm pressed on her shoulder, and the warmth of her palm warmed her heart.

After she sat down, she was a little at a loss, not knowing what to do, and then she saw Fang Xie raise his hand, and he gently removed the veil covering her face. At this moment, her body stiffened violently, as if the blood in her whole body was no longer flowing, as if even her heartbeat had stopped.

Fang Xie slowly walked down from the top of the veil, then stood up straight and clasped his fists and saluted: "I have seen Your Highness." ”

"Free ...... Excuse me. ”

Yang Qinyan's hands were trembling, and her voice was trembling.

Fang Xie turned around, his eyes swept over the faces of the courtiers one by one, and he stayed on the face of the imperial envoy of the Imperial Historical Observatory: "You just said that you have something to say to me?" Even if the head is broken, the blood flow can't be ignored, it's good...... Yanguan has to have such a backbone, I appreciate it. Go ahead...... I'm listening. ”

Everyone turned their attention to the imperial envoy, but they saw that his legs were weak and he collapsed there.

……

……

According to the knighthood system of the Great Sui, a high title does not mean that the official position is high. In the more than 200 years since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, there are now many hereditary and repetitive princes of the state and county, but they do not even have an official position. The generals of the sixteen guards of the Great Sui were basically knighted by the dukes. But their official positions are all martial arts, which is almost the limit of martial arts.

In addition to the emperor's personal expedition and the generalissimo of the first rank, the Great Sui even rarely appeared in the second-rank military position.

Therefore, although Fang Xie is now a prince of Zhenguo, he is still a general in the military rank, and he is a third grade. Among these civil and military officials standing in the court now, there are not a few who have official positions higher than him. But there is no doubt that these people are not even breathing in front of Fang Jie.

In the face of strength, in fact, the rules are nonsense.

Yang Qinyan took a few deep breaths in a row, and his mood gradually eased up. Fang Jie's eyes kept looking at her, which made her feel more and more steady. The injuries that those people gave her just now gradually disappeared in Fang Jie's sight. When she had just escaped from Chang'an City, she was bent on restoring the Yang family's Jiangshan Sheji. But now, she suddenly realized that she was still thinking too simple and naïve.

If you don't have a solution, even if you sit on a high platform, you are just a puppet at the mercy of others. Those courtiers wouldn't take her seriously at all, and even if they held her, they were just using her name as the eldest princess. She couldn't help but wonder, if there was no solution today, would those people kick her out of her position? And without a strong backing princess, how can she deter these courtiers?

She was a little sad.

Suddenly I started to hate this place.

"There is a big matter for you to discuss today."

Yang Qinyan cleaned up his mood for a while, and said slowly: "You can all see the merits of the Zhenguo Gongfang Solution to the Great Sui, and there is no need for me to list them one by one. At a time when the country was in crisis, it was necessary for such important ministers to maintain the law and discipline of the dynasty and the majesty of the Great Sui. I thought for a long time how to reward him, but any reward seemed a little light. After pondering for a long time, I plan to promote Fang Xie to the throne and crown the king, if you have any opinions, you can talk about them now. ”

When she said these words, her eyes looked at Fang Xie again and again. But at this time, Fang Jie's gaze drifted to the outside of the main hall, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was looking at.

The old man who beat his chest before raised his head and looked at everyone, stepped out and said loudly: "The prince of Zhenguo deserves this reward, and the minister has no objection!" ”

He spoke first, and many people immediately agreed. He had been chanting some etiquette just now, but at this time he had forgotten the rule that the Great Sui did not have a foreign surname as the king. It is a rule established by Yang Jian that people in the harem are not allowed to interfere in politics, and people with foreign surnames are not allowed to be crowned kings, which is also a rule established by Yang Jian. So sometimes, the rules are not as good as a fart.

"Since you don't have any objections, then the rest of the matter will be left to a few scholars and officials of the Ministry of Rites to prepare. I'm a little tired, so I'll go back and rest first. ”

Yang Qinyan stood up, and his eyes were still looking at Fang Xie when he walked to the high platform. Fang Xie turned around and bowed slightly towards her, this kind of non-rude approach was far inferior to Fang Jie's rude act of pulling her up just now in Yang Qinyan's heart. Now her mind is full of Fang Jie's action just now, and her heart will still pound when she thinks about it.

He pulled her up in full view and kicked the stool away. Taking her hand and walking up to the high platform, let her sit in the high platform, she thought of Fang Xie taking off her veil, her face suddenly began to get hot, she knew that she must be blushing very much at this time, but now she wished that something would block her face.

She just wanted to run away now.

It was no longer because of the contempt and ridicule of the courtiers that she wanted to flee, but because there was something in her heart that she did not dare to face. She came down the steps, took some effort to take her eyes off the man, and strode away.

When he couldn't see him, Yang Qinyan let out a long sigh of relief.

"Greetings to Your Highness"

Fang explained.

The civil and military officials then bent down and saluted: "Congratulations to Your Highness." ”
