A Clash of Gods - Chapter 197

[Chapter 196 Aggressive]

Longtai was silent for a while before he said, “The queen mother, the father emperor died not long ago, is it too hasty to set up the queen at this time?”

He spoke in a respectful tone, but Yang Ning felt that every word the little emperor said seemed to have been carefully thought out and answered very appropriately.

Although his words are not harsh, there is a bit of implicit toughness behind them.

It seems that the queen mother was also asked by Longtai. Yang Ning thought to himself that he heard that the ancients kept filial piety, and their parents died, and they kept filial piety for three years, but did not know whether this rule was followed in this era?

If there is such a rule, but I don’t know if the emperor should follow it?

It didn’t take long before I heard the Queen Mother say: “The first emperor has died. It is the greatest filial piety for you to stabilize the state and society. If you don’t stand up for a long time, it will inevitably cause unrest in the court and the public, which is not the way of filial piety.” After a pause, Cai said: “Your Majesty, this palace is in the harem, and you must also worry about the blood of the royal family. This time, you also understand that if it is not for the stability of the situation with the Marquis of Zhongyi, it is still unknown whether you can successfully ascend the throne.”

Yang Ning was shocked, thinking that it was no wonder why the Hou Zhongyi didn’t appear when Qi Jing passed away. It seems that at the most critical juncture, the Hou Zhongyi really put his energy on the new emperor’s enthronement.

Longtai did not speak.

“The continuation of the royal bloodline is the first major event for the emperor to govern the country.” The queen mother said: “Even if the emperor cannot establish the empress immediately, he should announce Wan Qiongxian into the palace first.”

Longtai finally said: “What the mother said, the son will remember it and will consider it carefully.”

“Hey, I don’t care about my parents, I don’t know the painstaking efforts of my parents.” The Queen Mother sighed, paused, and suddenly asked, “Your Majesty, how are you going to reward the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness this time?”

“How does the queen mother think it should be rewarded?” Longtai asked.

The Empress Dowager said: “The late emperor entrusted the Hou Zhongyi to assist the emperor. The emperor heard it with his own ears. After the death of the former emperor, the Hou Zhongyi devoted all his energy and was loyal to the emperor. Only then did he survive the crisis safely. Hou and those loyal ministers are the pillars of the country that the emperor will rely on in the future.”

Long Tai smiled and said: “The queen mother said very well, the credit of the loyal and righteous marquis will definitely be remembered by the son.”

“Rewards and punishments are clear, it is the way of the king.” The queen mother hesitated for a while, and finally said: “Should the emperor add a title to the Marquis of Zhongyi?”

Long Tai said: “The Marquis of Zhongyi is the first of the four hereditary marquis. It is a matter of waiting, and it is extremely honorable. If you want to add another seal, you can only make it a duke.” After a pause, he said, “I, the Great Chu, have established a kingdom since then. Although there is no king with a different surname, he has never been named a duke with a different surname.”

“Doesn’t the emperor want to break the old and bring forth the new?” The queen mother’s voice softened, “Some things must follow the ancestral system, but it is not necessary to stick to the ancestors’ rules in everything. Some things that can be changed, the emperor may not be able to change. The emperor has just ascended the throne, it is not impossible to establish his own prestige and break some old rules.”

When Yang Ning heard this, he realized that the queen mother actually wanted the emperor to add the title of Zhongyihou. Listening to the meaning of the queen mother, she seemed to have great trust in Zhongyihou.

Longtai seemed to be hesitating, and after a while, he said: “The queen mother, the four hereditary marquis are the four first-class marquis of my Great Chu, and the four great marquis have made great contributions to my great Chu. Now the queen mother has made her ministers add the title of Marquis Zhongyi. As a duke, my son should obey his mother’s orders, but he is only worried about one thing.”

“What’s the matter?”

“If the Marquis of Zhongyi is added as a duke, what will the other three hereditary marquis think?” Long Tai said, “I only worry about the imbalance in the hearts of the three marquis. Besides, if the Marquis of Zhongyi is added, will the title of the Marquis of Zhongyi be from now on? Even if it disappears? Everyone in the world knows that I am the Four Marquis of Great Chu, if there is no Zhongyi Marquis, is there something wrong?”

The empress dowager immediately said: “The emperor has been thinking too much. Emperor Taizu bestowed the title of the four marquis, and he had issued a decree in the past that the four marquis would be hereditary, and naturally the title could not be eliminated. Even if the emperor is worried about the dissatisfaction of the other three hereditary princes, according to the view of this palace, the emperor does not have to have such concerns,

This time, it was the Marquis of Zhongyi who escorted the emperor. The two marquis of Jinyi and Wuxiang had yet to be built. As for the Marquis of Jindao, the emperor should not forget that he and the court and the emperor are not of the same mind.

”

Longtai immediately said: “Mother, Shu Erchen said bluntly, the mother said that Jinyi and Wuxiang Erhou have not made any achievements, but this may not be the case. Jinyi and Wuxiang both have deep connections in the army, and many generals in the army were in those days. They all followed these two marquis in battle. The queen mother knew that these two marquis were loyal to the late emperor, so their subordinates were also loyal to their sons. , the son may not be able to ascend the throne so smoothly.”

“What the emperor said is not wrong, but the one who made the greatest contribution this time is the Hou Zhongyi.” The Empress Dowager argued: “If it wasn’t for the Hou Zhongyi, the situation would not be what it is now.” The voice was slightly cold: “Does the emperor think that the Hou Zhongyi is doing the job? Not enough?”

Long Tai said: “The mother misunderstood, the son did not think so.”

“The Marquis of Zhongyi and a group of loyal ministers have made this great contribution. If the emperor has no reward, this palace is worried that many ministers will be disappointed.” The queen mother sighed: “Your Majesty, if you want to govern the country, you must use people, and if you want to use people, you must win people’s hearts. , did the emperor say so?”

Yang Ning hid behind the bookshelf and listened carefully, thinking that the queen mother seemed to be going too far.

He also knew that the harem should not easily interfere in political affairs. Although Longtai has just ascended the throne, his ability to manage politics is lacking. As the empress dowager, it is not necessary to give a little advice, but when it comes to major matters such as the award of dukes, after all, Longtai should be allowed to I made up my own mind, but listening to the empress dowager’s words was quite aggressive, it seems that if Longtai did not agree to reward Zhongyihou, the empress dowager would not let it go.

Longtai was silent for a while, and finally said: “Since the mother said so, the son should obey. The son will summon the Minister of Rites to discuss this matter. In addition to the other ministers who have made contributions, the Duke of Zhongyi should have this account in his heart, and the son will meet. Let the Marquis of Zhongyi come up with an excerpt, look at the list of ministers who have made meritorious deeds, and then they should obey the orders of their mother and reward them one by one.”

The Empress Dowager’s tone was filled with joy, and she said with a smile: “The emperor said so, this palace is relieved. With the emperor’s reward, these ministers will naturally be loyal to the emperor since then, and serve them wholeheartedly.”

Long Tai said: “My son will convene the ministers to go to the court in a few days, and then the decree will naturally be announced at the court meeting.” After a pause, he asked, “Empress mother, is there anything else?”

The queen mother said: “It’s getting dark, the emperor should have dinner, don’t work too hard. Yes, the emperor still think about Wanqiong’s affairs, this palace will talk to the emperor another day.” After hearing the sound of Susuo, I heard Long Tai say: “My son respectfully sends my mother off.”

After a while, the surroundings returned to tranquility. Yang Ning thought that the queen mother should have left, and stuck her head out from behind the bookshelf, only to see the little emperor Longtai sitting on a chair, as if thinking about something, suddenly raised his head and said: “Qining, come out, the queen mother has already left.”

Yang Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked over lightly. When he arrived at the side of the little emperor Longtai, he hesitated, and finally knelt down and said, “Chen…I see the emperor.” But he was a little nervous, secretly. Thinking that since Xiao Guang is a little emperor, he doesn’t know what to do with him, but now it is precisely this little emperor who knows that he is a fake Jinyi Hou.

Longtai turned his head to look at Yang Ning, and said with a smile, “I wanted to play with you for a while, but it was so unfortunate that the queen mother just bumped into me today, but you know my secret.” He raised his hand and said, “Get up. Well, there are only you and me here, no need for these routines.”

Yang Ning heard that Longtai’s tone was quite easy-going. He got up and wanted to say something, but he didn’t know how to say it.

Longtai asked with a smile: “Why, knowing that I am the emperor, you don’t even have the courage to speak? Isn’t you very courageous? Even the prince of Jinyi dares to pretend, and now you don’t even have the courage to speak?”

When he said this, Yang Ning felt calm, thinking that the matter had come to this point, the little emperor was afraid that he had already figured out a way to deal with him, so he simply relaxed and said with a smile: “I… No, minister. I don’t know that you are the emperor, and you have offended a lot, so it’s a bit presumptuous to talk to you before, the emperor…how the emperor will deal with it, it’s up to you.”

“Zhen naturally wants to punish you!” Longtai’s brows suddenly tightened, and in the flash of light, he had already reached out and grabbed Yang Ning’s waist. Yang Ning was about to react, but he suddenly thought that this kid is the emperor of today’s Great Chu. , hesitated for a while, but Longtai had already grabbed the belt, swept his feet, and swept towards his lower plate.

Yang Ning raised his foot like a conditioned reflex, kicked against Longtai’s kick, and grabbed Longtai’s arm.

The two of them have one leg everywhere, you come and I change, I heard Longtai roar softly, his arms force, and Yang Ning is thrown horizontally. Yang Ning also exerts force almost at the same time, and the two instantly adjust their positions, UU reading www. However, sonicmtl.com saw Longtai slump abruptly and bumped his elbow towards Yang Ning’s chest.

When Yang Ning first met Xiao Guang, the two had a fight in the rain. Yang Ning’s fighting and wrestling skills were not weak, but he also knew that the little emperor’s skills were not bad. A draw.

This time, the two of you came to me to fight for more than ten rounds, and they could not tell the winner for a while. Yang Ning only felt that Longtai was very skilled in his movements, and he was also a trainer. Moreover, the strength of this little emperor is really not small. He is now I don’t worry about being knocked down by the little emperor, I just worry that the magic power will show off again, and it will be amazing to suck out the little emperor’s internal strength later.

Yang Ning now knows that the magic power that he got from Mu Shenjun is a strange kung fu that attracts people. He also knows that once the opponent uses his internal force to touch several parts of his body, his body will be conditioned reflexively. The opponent’s internal force is inhaled, even if it is difficult to control himself.

He has a powerful inner force stored in his body, but he still doesn’t know how to control the inner force in his body at will.

The little emperor is very strong, and Yang Ning doesn’t know if this guy is the strength that he has trained, or whether he has used internal strength. If it is just the strength that he has trained, it will be fine, but if it is the internal strength that comes out of the body, then he has to Be careful, don’t suck the little emperor into a mummified corpse.
