Chapter 668: A Special Errand

In the past, Yang Zhenqing might be unwilling, but today, after so many things, Yang Zhenqing was the first to stand up and agree.

"Master Yang, you have to assist from the side, remember to focus on the overall situation, not to mess up, and not to mess up. Lu Yan instructed again, and Yang Zhenqing bowed down.

At this moment, Yang Zhenqing's expression was solemn.

Under the dictatorship of imperial power, where is the Shoufu Pavilion going, none of the people present can see it, and now it is stormy, that is, Xiao Yu and Yang Zhenqing, a pair of old enemies, can only abandon their previous suspicions and work together.

"I won't participate in the court, I'm cultivating outside, the royal family still has scruples, so I don't dare to do too much, colleagues, the holy dynasty has been five thousand years, most of the time is peaceful, but I have also encountered turmoil and danger, sometimes, the situation is not necessarily better than today, but it is more dangerous, but the holy dynasty can still survive, or that sentence, I hope you, or focus on the overall situation. ”

After Master Lu Yan finished speaking, he waved his hand: "Let's go out with the others, Chu Xian, you stay, I have something to say to you." ”

All the immortals in the Shoufu Pavilion were stunned.

If Master Lu Yan left Xiao Yu or other immortal officials to explain things, it would be a normal thing, but it would be a bit strange to leave Chu Xian alone.

But everyone didn't ask much, since Master Lu Yan did this, there must be a reason to do it.

The other immortal officials saluted and left one after another, leaving only Chu Xian alone.

Master Lu Yan said at this time: "Chu Xian, what did you think of just now, I know what you thought of, but there are some things, don't say it now, hide it in your heart, because I have something to entrust you to do." ”

After speaking, he spoke softly and came out one by one.

"Chu Xian, as long as you know one thing, that edict can never be from the hand of the Holy Ancestor. ”

Chu Xian was stunned for a moment, and wanted to ask, Lu Yan waved his hand: "I know what you want to ask, you want to ask, since you know that it is not the hand of the Holy Ancestor, why don't you think of stopping it, but you must know that this is like a master's move, sometimes, there is only one chance to make a move, and we can't make a move before there is no conclusive evidence to prove that the edict is fake, otherwise we will use this opportunity, and next time, there will be no chance." The other party dares to release this edict at this time, which means that he is fully prepared, even if he takes it to the official canon to verify, I am afraid that it will be useless, you are the first detective of the Holy Dynasty, today is my identity as the head of the first auxiliary pavilion, and finally let you do one thing, find out the truth of this matter, or that sentence, the dictatorship of imperial power, it is not advisable. ”

How smart Chu Xian is now, he naturally understands what Master Lu Yan means.

So Chu Xian thought about it, nodded and said, "Chu Xian do his best." ”

"Okay, there you go. Master Lu Yan smiled and nodded, and Chu Xian retreated.

The explanation just now cannot be understood literally, because listening to what Master Lu Yan said alone is actually a contradiction, but if you analyze it carefully, you will know what Master Lu Yan is trying to express.

To put it simply, it is to tell Chu Xian that it doesn't matter if the edict is true or false, because it can't be proved that it is fake now, so that the royal family can coerce the edict to mess with the government, no one dares to care, and he has to obey it.

In short, since the dictatorship of imperial power is not advisable, then this edict can only be fake, and it must be fake.

It's not fake, it can be fake.

It's just that Chu Xian was very surprised that Master Lu Yan actually handed over such an important matter to himself.

It's too much to trust yourself.

Or does Master Lu Yan feel that he is the most suitable person for this matter?

"I didn't expect that I was such a person in the eyes of Master Lu Yan, I thought that he would think I was a good person. Chu Xian laughed to himself.

But when Chu Xian walked to the court meeting, he already understood why Master Lu Yan would look for himself instead of other immortal officials.

First, he is now not what he used to be, he is a Dao Immortal, and his official position is not low, and secondly, and most importantly, Master Lu Yan specifically mentioned that he is the first detective of the Holy Dynasty.

You must know that Master Lu Yan will not say this title for no reason, that is because the person who is the best at solving cases and chasing the murderer is also the person who is the best at committing murders.

Reversing black and white is not something that anyone can do, and it has to be seamless, so Master Lu Yan found himself and entrusted him with a heavy task.

For a moment, Chu Xian felt that the burden on his shoulders was much heavier.

Because the previous emergency meeting of the Shoufu Pavilion has already set the tone, so this court meeting is just a formality, and the imperial power is already unstoppable, unless the real evidence is shown to prove that the edict of the Holy Ancestor is fake, otherwise any disrespect will be regarded as rebellion and great disrespect.

On the royal side, the prince of the dragon Li Qianlong was unanimously elected as the emperor, and I don't know how this Li Qianlong handled the inside of the imperial family, it can be said that this is a very powerful figure.

Shoufu Pavilion also tried to find other members of the royal family to take the throne and replace Li Qianlong, at least he could control it, but it turned out that none of the children of the royal family in Jingzhou, even if it was some side lineage, was willing to cooperate.

And in terms of seniority, Prince Long is actually the most qualified to become the emperor.

In this way, even if you don't want to, you can't do it.

Prince Long, who held the edict of the Holy Ancestor, directly announced that seven days later, he would ascend the throne as emperor and assume the authority of the Holy Dynasty.

This news spread very quickly, and no one could have imagined that among the people, there were so many people who supported the royal family, knowing that the royal family was going to be the emperor and take over the authority of the holy dynasty, and many of them began to celebrate.

The shock on the people's side is obviously far less than that of officialdom.

This time the change of authority, the emergence of an emperor, for the officialdom of the Holy Dynasty, it is simply like the earth shaking the mountains and the earth is cracking, although the vast majority of officials are shaken in their hearts, but still perform their duties, a small number of officials rushed to Jingzhou overnight, to express their loyalty to the new emperor, in order to be reused.

Everyone knows that when the new emperor ascends the throne, the first thing is to move the officialdom, and when the time comes, it will inevitably be 'bloody and bloody'. Of course, there are also officials who believe that even if the imperial family establishes the emperor with the edict of the Holy Ancestor, it is impossible to shake the status of the first auxiliary pavilion in a short period of time, after all, this authority cannot be taken away at once. Some things are obvious, just like the royal family participating in politics, strengthening the imperial power, and establishing the emperor, then it is good to let the people of the royal family enter the court and participate in politics, and it is enough to elect a royal family to be the emperor, but whether you can really control the authority depends on the means.

Because of this, everyone knows that the struggle will inevitably be quite 'tragic', so at this juncture, all officials, from top to bottom, are cautious.

Of course, some small county officials don't care, they are the lowest officials, and the fighting above will not affect their level, so this son is actually the most stable.

After seven days, the grand enthronement ceremony was a beautiful affair, and the whole world knew that even the Wu clan and some small neighboring countries sent envoys to meet the new emperor of the Holy Dynasty.

When Li Qianlong ascended the throne as emperor, the first thing he did was to ask the Ministry of Rites to set a ceremony to kneel to the emperor.

Obviously, Li Qianlong's purpose in doing this is very clear, that is, to establish the power of the emperor.

Most of the time, most people, once they kneel, it is difficult to remember, and after kneeling for a long time, most people forget how to stand up.

It's a subconscious class division.

Li Qianlong wants to use the bow to strengthen the concept of the supremacy of imperial power, not only to deter hundreds of officials, but also to show the world.

However, the first decree of the new emperor was refuted by the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites bluntly said that the ritual of kneeling is not legal, and it is even more inappropriate, and the Holy Ancestor is fashionable to rule the Holy Dynasty and does not need the courtiers and the people to bow down, is it possible to say that the new emperor is special?

Although Li Qianlong also has all kinds of reasons, he has not debated the book of the Ministry of Rites in the court, so although he is unhappy in his heart, he did not force it, and he can only give up for the time being.

But this is just one of the countless encounters that will follow.

In addition to the meeting gift, the new emperor Li Qianlong also revealed his instructions in many aspects, such as his request that the royal family not only participate in politics, but also occupy important positions. And in the appointment of officials, not only must be approved by the officials, but he, as the emperor, must also be reviewed and nodded.

Obviously, the new emperor Li Qianlong intends to gradually compete for power, either to those close to him or to himself.

In most cases, Li Qianlong can succeed, after all, he is the new emperor and has almost the greatest right to speak, and there are some things that even a figure like Lu Yan dare not say, but he comes as soon as he opens his mouth, so in just a few days, many officials have already complained bitterly.

There is no one to restrain and have the greatest right to speak, which is a big problem in itself.

In fact, this is just the beginning, this day of the court meeting, Li Qianlong directly issued many appointments, and even ordered the formation of the 'Imperial Division'.

There are more than a dozen officials in the Imperial Division, who are directly responsible to the emperor, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the functions and powers of this Imperial Department and the First Auxiliary Pavilion are similar, and it is obvious that this is the power organ that Li Qianlong used to replace and elevate the First and Auxiliary Cabinet.

The chief imperial minister in this imperial department is Nie Zhizhong, the lord of the starry sky, and Li Qianlong directly named the other party a first-class official position.

Obviously, this Li Qianlong had already planned this, he knew that it would be extremely difficult to break into the Shoufu Pavilion and even dismantle this institution, and the Shoufu Pavilion was set up by the Holy Ancestor, even if he wanted to, he would not dare to abolish the Shoufu Pavilion, otherwise he would inevitably be caught, how could he not think of this for a person like Li Qianlong who has a city government and is good at calculation?

Therefore, the purpose of his establishment of the Imperial Department is already obvious.

But to rely on the Imperial Division to replace the Shoufu Pavilion, it is not something that can be done overnight, after all, the Shoufu Pavilion has existed for too long, and the control of the Holy Dynasty is definitely not something that Li Qianlong or the newly created Imperial Court can replace in a short period of time, but this is a beginning and a strong signal.
