Chapter 667: Strengthening Imperial Power and Establishing an Emperor

Several princes in the royal family have clearly expressed their support for Prince Long to ascend the throne and become emperor, and this situation once again caught the officials off guard, even if it was Taishi Lu Yan, he frowned and pondered.

Who would have thought that at this time, the royal family was surprisingly 'united', even if the first auxiliary cabinet recognized the edict, they did not appear to compete for power and profit, so it was useless to procrastinate the word.

Grand Master Lu Yan glanced at the Lord of the Starry Sky over there, then at Li Qianlong, and said: "This matter is very important, it doesn't matter if the royal family says it, it needs to be discussed and decided by the hundred officials of the court." ”

"What's the difference? Within the royal family, the prince is respected, and many princes have elected Prince Long to the throne, and it is the same if you discuss it again, is it just a waste of time, or do you not want to delegate power at all?"

In the past, people from the royal family were absolutely not allowed to interfere in the government, but at this time and then, now with the support of the Holy Ancestor's edict, the royal family is also much stiffer.

Even if it is a prince, he dares to argue with Master Lu Yan in public, which in the past, they would never dare.

"It's about the authority of the Holy Dynasty, how can it be child's play?" Master Lu Yan's face sank, and his voice rose a few degrees, at this moment he was full of majesty, and no one in the royal family on the other side dared to speak anymore.

After all, the edict of the Holy Ancestor said that it was necessary to strengthen the imperial power and establish an emperor, but it also had to pass the court meeting, at least with the approval of hundreds of officials, and this step must be taken.

"Since the Holy Ancestor said that the royal family can participate in politics, then we must also participate in this court meeting, and I believe that you can't refuse this because of Master Lu Yan. "The royal prince asked.

Naturally, there is no way to refuse this matter.

At this time, Taishi Lu Yan turned his head and said to Xiao Yuzhongshu and Yang Zhenqing: "Urgent notice, in the land of Jingzhou, all officials of the fifth rank and above will immediately rush to participate in the court meeting." ”

Things were arranged, and this time the court meeting was held in the middle of the night. What happened in the imperial city, the officials in Jingzhou already knew, so this time there was an order from above, and they all rushed to it immediately, this time there were no officials absent, after all, what happened this time was too big.

On the road, many officials had already discussed the matter to the bottom of the matter.

"The Holy Dynasty has been around for 5,000 years, and even the Holy Ancestor has not been called the emperor, so how can a testament suddenly appear? I don't believe it, there must be something strange in it. One official shook his head.

"What's the use of you not believing it? In fact, it is said that the handwriting and immortal seals of the edict are all unique to the Holy Ancestor, and it is impossible to counterfeit them, otherwise how could those bigwigs on the Shoufu Pavilion give in? This time, I am afraid that the sky is really going to change. Another official looked worried.

After all, this change is not a good thing no matter how you look at it.

"Knowing that this is the source of chaos, why do you still have to obey?" A military general was heartbroken, but someone next to him immediately covered his mouth and opened his mouth to persuade: "Don't talk nonsense, the Shoufu Pavilion is full of powerful immortals, and there are even the first immortals of Lu Yan Taishi, if you really do it, no matter how many masters there are in the royal family, it is impossible to be the opponent of the Shoufu Pavilion, but the problem is not in strength, but in a reason, a loyalty, that edict is left by the Holy Ancestor, let me ask, who can disobey the order of the Holy Ancestor? If you really do that, you will really become a great rebel." ”

"Hey!" many officials sighed, worried in their hearts, most of them worried about the situation.

Some people are worried, some people are happy.

Among the officials, there are also some officials who are loyal to the royal family, although there are not many of them, and they are well hidden on weekdays, but today, these officials are surprisingly excited.

Because they feel that the opportunity to soar has come.

"This holy dynasty, this is the founding of the Holy Ancestor, the descendants of the Holy Ancestor enjoy the world that is logical, these years the first auxiliary pavilion to control the authority of the Holy Dynasty, this is in the hustle and bustle, but over the years, the royal family dare not speak out, fortunately, the Holy Ancestor left this edict, so, the world can return to orthodoxy, this is a great blessing. Several officials said loudly as they walked.

Most of the officials glared at them angrily, while others did not say a word, bowing their heads and pondering, wondering how this would go and what they should do to ensure their own interests.

Everyone knows that the edict in the hands of the royal family has now become the biggest weapon, and it is an invincible weapon, which occupies morality, and the first auxiliary pavilion has to agree and admit it, because of the existence of the edict.

In this case, the imperial family elects an emperor to ascend the throne, which is a high probability event.

Unless anyone dares to disobey the edict of the Holy Ancestor.

But even if someone dares, this kind of thing can't be done, after all, the people of the world will still obey the words of the Holy Ancestor, no matter who dares to disobey the Holy Ancestor's edict, even if it is an existence like Master Lu Yan, he will immediately become a great rebel and a sinner for the ages.

The main hall of the Shoufu Pavilion is full of immortal guards outside at this moment, and there are many internal guards, almost five steps by one, and it is impossible for anyone around to be able to mix in it.

And inside, the officials of the first auxiliary cabinet are listed one by one.

Among them, there are also some alternate officials of the First Auxiliary Cabinet, among them, Chu Xian is impressively listed. Originally, Chu Xian was not qualified to participate in the meeting at the level of the Shoufu Pavilion, but this time, Master Lu Yan opened his mouth and authorized Chu Xian to participate.

Strictly speaking, Chu Xian is not yet an alternate official of the First Auxiliary Pavilion, so this is a special case.

"We only have a quarter of an hour, and now that the pattern of the Holy Dynasty is about to change, if you have anything to say, let's say it now. Master Lu Yan spoke.

Over there, the gold-armored general Qin Yuanmou and the jade general Run Boran spoke out for the first time.

"At this time, the dictatorship of the imperial power is a move in troubled times, we are absolutely unacceptable, even if it is strong, I will not hesitate to use the strong, I took the initiative to ask for help, and immediately mobilized troops to surround the imperial city. Both generals had murderous faces.

At present, the military department Shangshu and several other immortal officials also agreed.

Xiao Yu didn't speak, Yang Zhenqing didn't speak, and Master Lu Yan said: "I have missed the opportunity, and the royal family is prepared, the prince of the dragon is very hidden, and today suddenly revealed his power, I only know that the original royal family is not chaotic, nor is there internal fighting against each other, and even I guess that they have already decided that it is this prince of the dragon who accepts the unification, which shows that the royal family has not prepared for today, but more than ten years, I am afraid that it has been calculated for decades." Now the transfer of troops, may not be able to be transferred, among the officials below, who can guarantee that it is not the inner line planted by the royal family, even if it is transferred, sniping the royal family, the world will inevitably be in chaos at that time, and we are nameless, if we really do this, I am afraid that we will fall into the trap of the other party. ”

The big Situ over there also nodded: "The edict of the Holy Ancestor cannot be violated, even if you know that it is wrong, you must obey it, but the problem lies in this edict, if the royal family has been planning for a long time, how do they know that there will be an edict today?"

That's to the point.

Without the edict, no matter how much the royal family tosses, it will only be sad and useless, but with the edict, the situation is reversed, and the Shoufu Pavilion must also obey the edict of the Holy Ancestor.

At that moment, everyone's eyes moved to Chu Xian.

After all, the edict was discovered from the restored Hundred Immortals Map, and Chu Xian participated in the restoration, so he may know some insiders.

Chu Xian also guessed to ask this, so he answered truthfully, before repairing the Hundred Immortals Map, he did not find any clues, and the hand of the Saint Ancestor portrait at that time was indeed empty, which Chu Xian can be sure, because just this Hundred Immortals Map, Chu Xian does not know how long he has copied it.

"But after the restoration of the painting, the Holy Ancestor has an additional edict in his hand, which is inevitably too strange and strange. "There are immortal officials who are puzzled.

Not to mention them, even Chu Xian personally repaired the Hundred Immortal Diagram, and he still didn't know what was going on. Chu Xian pondered for a long time, and suddenly had a thought, and just wanted to speak, but when he looked up, he saw that Grand Master Lu Yan was looking at him, and at the same time shook his head slightly.

Chu Xian was shocked.

Master Lu Yan was asking him not to speak, Chu Xian thought about it for a while, and swallowed back the words he was about to say, Master Lu Yan's cultivation is profound, and his knowledge is extraordinary, and this move is absolutely targetless.

Therefore, Chu Xian planned not to say it for the time being, and waited to see how Grand Master Lu Yan would arrange it.

"Now the focus is not why there is an edict in the Hundred Immortals Diagram, after all, it is the means of the Holy Ancestor, Chu Xian They are not aware of it and it is normal, the current focus is on the edict, the handwriting, the immortal seal, this kind of thing can't be faked, this is the trouble, to put it bluntly, whether the edict is found from the Hundred Immortals Diagram or found from other places, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that it can't be refuted that it is the handwriting of the Holy Ancestor, this is the biggest trouble, and it is also the current reliance of the royal family, the order of the Holy Ancestor, we can't disobey it, otherwise, it is a great crime of rebellion. ”

It was Da Situ who spoke, and after he said this, the immortal officials in the Shoufu Pavilion were silent.

Obviously, no matter how high their cultivation is, no matter how clever they are and how powerful they are, they will not be of use at this time, as holy courtiers, the Holy Ancestor's orders must be obeyed.

"Since the rise of the imperial family is unstoppable, it can only follow the trend, but the dynasty must not be chaotic, the world cannot be chaotic, it is the dictatorship of imperial power, and the first auxiliary pavilion must also try its best to maneuver. "It's easy to say, but everyone knows it's hard to do.

At this time, Master Lu Yan said: "After today, I will resign and retire, this is also what I set before, but I have to work hard for you." ”

Obviously, Master Lu Yan still has to leave, and he has no reason to stay, not to mention in this case, what can he do if he stays?

If you can't use force, you can only comply, but it's better to be free and easy and withdraw in time.

Moreover, Master Lu Yan is going to retreat and cultivate this time, breaking through the realm of the Infinite Golden Immortal, if he can really achieve the realm of the Golden Immortal, then he can be comparable to the Immortal Ancestor in terms of cultivation, and when the time comes, maybe he can use cultivation as a constraint on the royal family and prevent them from messing around.

Master Lu Yan can go, but the other immortal officials cannot.

Although Da Situ and Da Sima are old, they can't go at this juncture, first, to stabilize the court, and second, to stabilize the Shoufu Pavilion.

At this time, Lu Yan said again: "After I leave, the first seat of this auxiliary pavilion will be handed over to Xiao Yu, do you have any opinions?"
