Chapter 47
Reward the diplomatic mission.
Everyone knew that this matter would definitely be discussed in today's court session. Everyone had expected this, so they did not feel that it was very abrupt or inappropriate.
However, the matter of the empress...
An exception!
The Tang Emperor had never made an empress, and even consorts were rarely conferred titles.
In the entire harem, there were only four imperial consorts.
Now, she was about to become an empress.
This caused all the officials to fall silent, not knowing what to say.
After all, the matter of establishing a queen was of great importance.
It concerns the Crown Prince.
It was related to the harem.
It was a role model for the women of the Great Tang.
This matter had to be dealt with seriously.
Of course, more importantly, he had to consider the potential of the future prince of the Empress. After all, it was possible that the Crown Prince was the Empress's biological son.
Naturally, he wouldn't let the officials feel relaxed.
However, many people's gazes were on Li Xuan, who was standing at the head of the civil officials.
Almost everyone had a premonition.
The empress that the Tang Emperor wanted to appoint was very likely to be the mother of the King of Qin, the newly promoted virtuous imperial concubine who was favored by the Tang Emperor!
"The first thing, Zhen wants to make Xian Guifei the Empress, the mother of the Great Tang!”
Sitting on the dragon throne, the Tang Emperor swept his gaze across everyone.
He said in a clear voice,
"Dear ministers, if anyone has any objections, you can say it!”
The empress was only the emperor's family.
However, because the Empress was the mother of a country, she needed to be the mother of the world. Therefore, it was very normal for her to be raised from family matters to national matters. No one felt that it was inappropriate.
After the Tang Emperor finished his words.
Immediately, someone stood up and said in a clear voice,
"Your Majesty, even though the Virtuous Imperial Consort has a reputation for being virtuous, the position of Phoenix requires not only virtue but also prestige. I'm afraid the Virtuous Imperial Consort is not competent for the prestige! Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
After the official finished speaking, he left.
Immediately, someone stood up.
"Your Majesty…"
One after another.
Many people stood up one after another to speak. Only those who stood on Li Xuan's side strongly supported it. The rest were strongly opposed. In and out of their words, they were all saying that the Virtuous Imperial Concubine was not worthy of her position.
Even though he was the son of the Virtuous Imperial Consort and the King of Qin, Li Xuan, was standing in the hall, these people's soft knives were still as ruthless as they could be.
Gradually, the court even began to quarrel.
The group of officials were like trolls fighting in reality, causing a ruckus.
The entire Taiji Palace was very lively.
The Tang Emperor sat on the dragon throne and watched the battle with his eyes and nose lowered. It seemed that he did not intend to speak.
He allowed the officials to argue endlessly.
However, from time to time, the Tang Emperor would glance at Li Xuan.
The meaning was obvious.
If he wanted his mother to sit on the throne of the Empress, as a son, he should speak up.
Li Xuan, who was expressionless, had a cold glint in his eyes.
It was fine if these old things had ulterior motives.
If you think other concubines are suitable, you can just reject them.
But why were there so many people stepping on his mother?
It was truly infuriating.
Li Xuan's reverse scale had already been touched.
He also understood.
His mother should have been implicated by him. These people were not so much stepping on the virtuous imperial concubine as stepping on him, the king of Qin.
After all, how could a concubine not be worthy of her position?
Wasn't it just that the princes and princesses didn't educate them well?
There was naturally no need to say who the virtuous noble consort's children were.
After these people argued for a long time.
"Milords."
With a calm gaze, Li Xuan suddenly spoke.
Under the true energy oscillation, all the sounds were suppressed.
Everyone instantly fell silent.
"This king is proficient in all the four arts.”
Turning his gaze to the ministers, Li Xuan boasted loudly,
"What you learn is the path of the saints, what you comprehend is the path of governing the world, what you understand is the measures to save the world, and what you grasp is the policy of the people.”
Boom!
Although he did not activate his True Qi and sword intent, an inexplicable aura surged from Li Xuan's body.
Li Xuan brought great pressure to all the courtiers.
His gaze gradually turned disdainful and unrestrained.
"In the path of martial arts, this king comprehended the supreme sword art at the age of fifteen. In a month, I entered the grandmaster realm, and in half a year, I entered the upper three realms of the great grandmaster realm.”
"Even among those of the older generation, how many of them can be a match for this king?”
He stopped.
Li Xuan looked down at everyone arrogantly.
"This king is a prodigy, and everyone in the world is mediocre! Wen, this king has completed! Wu, this king has already arrived! Milords, are you convinced?"
The ministers who were against it looked at each other.
She didn't know what to say.
This was because what Li Xuan said was really not a problem at all.
With the reputation that Li Xuan had obtained today.
There really wasn't a problem if he said that he could become a martial artist.
If there was anyone in the world who could compare to Li Xuan, they really could not find a single person for a while.
Li Xuan was too perfect.
There were no flaws at all, not even stains.
Even in the past, he often said that Li Xuan did not do his job properly and could not clean up the stain.
Now, Li Xuan began to do his job properly.
And then?
The princes that they had to rely on couldn't hold on any longer.
This gave the ministers an illusion.
That was that Li Xuan did not like to participate in these things in the past. It was not that he did not have the ability, but that he simply felt that there was no meaning in bullying noobs. Once Li Xuan became serious, the other princes and princes added up would not be enough to be beaten by one hand!
He felt aggrieved.
At this moment, being targeted by Li Xuan, all the opposing officials felt aggrieved.
He didn't care how the officials reacted.
Li Xuan spoke again,
"This king's consort mother, being able to educate this king to be a once in a lifetime character is already a great merit! You guys are still beating around the bush and saying that this king's consort mother is not virtuous enough, not dignified enough, and not worthy of a position?”
These words were a little too narcissistic.
What did he mean by giving birth to a once-in-a-lifetime mission like you, Li Xuan?
Are you flattering yourself or the virtuous imperial consort?
At this moment, everyone's expressions became strange.
Even the Tang Emperor was the same.
They had never seen such a shameless person!
Regardless of this.
Li Xuan's gaze was sharp as he looked at the courtiers with an extremely oppressive force.
His expression gradually turned cold.
"May I ask…do you have the qualifications?”
Shua Shua Shua--
Pairs of furious gazes looked at Li Xuan. They were extremely angry. They were all angered by Li Xuan's words, but they did not dare to say anything.
Li Xuan was so impudent, but the Tang Emperor ignored him. This in itself was a kind of attitude.
He retracted his gaze from the crowd.
Li Xuan, who had calmed down, said,
"Originally, after Imperial Father ascended the throne, this king should avoid arousing suspicion and not speak for Imperial Mother! However, you've really gone too far. If I don't say a few words, I'll be a son in vain! Today, if Imperial Father chooses this king's mother as the empress, this king will have the virtue and dignity of mother!”
He glanced at the ministers.
Li Xuan spoke again,
"This king is best at convincing people with martial virtue!”
Pfft--
Hearing Li Xuan's words.
The people who supported Li Xuan could not help but laugh.
Although this kind of threat was not very effective, and the officials present would not take it to heart, how could they say it?
The damage was not great, but it was extremely insulting!
Didn't you see that some people who cared about their face had already turned green and purple at this moment?
What was going on?
He was so angry!
Even the Tang Emperor, who was sitting on the dragon throne, could not help but laugh.
Li Xuan's reaction was…
He was very satisfied!
If he did not even protect his mother, what would Li Xuan protect in the future?
Moreover, it was not a good thing to be scheming at such a young age.
Therefore, the more the Tang Emperor looked at Li Xuan, the more satisfied he was.
Not to mention talent and other things.
Just in terms of personality, he was pretty good.
There is strategy, advance and retreat are measured.
The words just now seemed to be more of an attempt to elevate himself, but in fact, it was only to divert the attention of the officials and pull up Noble Consort Gao Xian's reputation without any trace. At the same time, he supported Noble Consort Gao Xian without affecting her reputation.
It was handled very well.
There was also the drive and sharpness of a young man.
That sentence about using martial arts to convince others was funny. It was not too serious, but at the same time, it was a powerful threat.
The others didn't know.
In any case, the courtier who was targeted by Li Xuan just now...
At this moment, his expression had gradually become serious and solemn.
It was obvious.
They understood that some words could be true or could be a joke.
"Alright."
Sitting on the dragon throne, the Tang Emperor said,"
"Zhen has already decided to make the virtuous noble consort the empress and choose a day to hold the empress coronation hall. There must be no mistakes!”
The Tang Emperor made the final decision.
The officials finally understood.
The Tang Emperor was just using them to test whether the King of Qin would speak up for his mother.
They were simply being used by the Tang Emperor.
Understanding was one thing.
The officials who had offended Li Xuan did not dare to show their anger.
He could only bow and accept the order.
"We obey your orders!"
The matter of the Empress was settled.
The court continued to confer titles to the officials who had been sent to the Great Qin Dynasty.
The first thing to be rewarded was Li Xuan, the leader.
However, what he received was only money and nothing else.
This was very normal.
Princes were not officials. This was the rule of the ancestors.
Even if Li Xuan had already been conferred the title of King and opened a residence, he still had to abide by it.
However, his reward had been transferred to the virtuous imperial consort.
Using a diplomatic mission to exchange for the position of empress for his mother, he was infinitely close to the throne of the Crown Prince.
In the eyes of all the courtiers…
Li Xuan had not only profited from this wave?
This was already a crazy profit, a huge profit!
However, in all fairness, everyone knew that this was what Li Xuan deserved.
The major crises that Li Xuan had encountered on his way to Great Qin were no longer a secret.
In other words-
This was the credit that His Highness the King of Qin had gambled with his life. They didn't even have the right to be jealous.
Instead of thinking about this, it was better to think about how to stop Li Xuan from taking the throne.
However, based on the current situation.
Li Xuan becoming the Crown Prince seemed to be a matter of course.
After rewarding Li Xuan, it was Xu Ji and the others 'turn.
Those who were promoted were promoted, those who were rewarded were rewarded with property, and those who were rewarded were rewarded with merit.
All in all, everything was there.
The one who was promoted the most was probably Xu Ji.
He became an official of the Chamberlain of Dependencies, a third-grade official, and even obtained the title of Earl. Although the title of Earl could not be inherited, Xu Ji was the first son of a noble to obtain a title of Earl through his own efforts.
It was enough for him to brag and act cool.
……
The court session ended.
Li Xuan followed the Tang Emperor to the Political Announcement Hall again.
He sat on the dragon throne with majestic steps.
The Tang Emperor looked at Li Xuan and said directly,
"Your performance in today's court meeting was not bad. My son should be so arrogant and insolent! Moreover, you still have this strength and ability. If you continue to be as low-key and humble as before, I will look down on you!”
The corners of her mouth twitched.
Li Xuan really wanted to tell the self-righteous Tang Emperor that it really did not matter if he looked down on him or not.
However, after thinking about it, he did not say it out loud.
After all, he was his father.
Although their relationship was not as strong as that of an ordinary farmer's father and son, he was still his father. If he really got beaten up, it would be for nothing. It was really not worth it.
"Seventh…Xuan 'er."
The Tang Emperor looked at Li Xuan with a solemn expression. He first called him Old Seven, then changed to an intimate form of address.
This intimate address made Li Xuan's entire body tremble.
For no reason, he felt a chill down his spine!
In fact, the Tang Emperor also felt a little strange, but he did not pay too much attention to it.
He directly said,
"I want to confer you the title of Crown Prince!"
Hearing this.
Li Xuan frowned.
"Father, this is too urgent."
After refuting.
Li Xuan threw out the reason that he had long prepared and said,
"Your son is currently advancing in his martial arts cultivation. If I become the crown prince now, I will be entangled in many trivial matters that will affect your son's martial arts path.”
He looked at Tang Emperor.
Li Xuan said sincerely,
"Moreover, Imperial Father is in his prime now. His reign can last for at least two hundred years. It is really too early to appoint a Crown Prince now. No matter how you look at it, this son cannot take the position of Crown Prince!”
There was a pause.
Li Xuan continued,
"At the very least, your son can't do it now!”
She pinched her chin.
The Tang Emperor thought for a moment and said,"
"What you said makes sense. That's true! "By the way, in the imperial court, you said that you had touched the bottleneck of the integration of Heaven and man. Is your current cultivation already at the ninth level of the Great Grandmaster realm?”
He was stunned.
Li Xuan smiled and shook his head.
"Hahaha…Father has misunderstood! Those words were just for show. Right now, I'm still some distance away from the ninth stage Great Grandmaster realm. I'm only at the integration of Heaven and man realm. I'll be able to achieve it sooner or later!”
Hearing this.
The Tang Emperor nodded."
"Forget it then…The position of Crown Prince will be discussed later. When you feel that it is appropriate, I will confer you the title of Crown Prince…Only you can satisfy me.”
Li Xuan was silent.
At the same time, he heaved a sigh of relief.
The position of Crown Prince finally did not fall on his head immediately. It could be considered a joyous occasion.
He finished talking about the position of Crown Prince.
The Tang Emperor chatted with Li Xuan about martial arts and communicated with each other, as if he wanted to verify with Li Xuan.
The father and son did not feel that the topic they were discussing was shocking at all.
Even though Cao Zhong was loyal to the Tang Emperor, when he heard the topic of discussion between Li Xuan and the Tang Emperor, he could not help but wipe the cold sweat off his face.
It was simply too shocking.
The Tang Emperor's meaning was clear. The Crown Prince was Li Xuan.
It was only a matter of time.
Li Xuan's attitude was also quite clear.
He refused.
At the very least, the current Li Xuan did not want to become the crown prince.
Then, the Tang Emperor agreed with Li Xuan's reason.
The father and son decided on this matter without any hesitation.
At this moment, Cao Zhong-
He only felt that the other princes and kings who were still dreaming of becoming the crown prince were a little miserable!
Because no matter how they fought.
As long as Li Xuan did not betray the country and did not do anything that would anger the heavens and the people, they would not have a chance.
All his pursuits would eventually turn into bubbles and illusions.
Wasn't this tragic?
……
Half a day later.
Li Xuan left Taiji Palace and went to the rear palace. The virtuous imperial concubine stayed in the palace until night.
Then, he left the palace.
He returned to his own residence.
In the study room.
Li Xuan looked at the secret manual in his hand.
"Tyrant King Spear, the signature spear technique of the Great Tang Emperor…it's something!”
This manual was the only one--
It was also the complete version of the [Tyrant King Spear].
The rest of the members of the royal family had learned the incomplete version of the [Tyrant King Spear], and its power could only be said to be average.
However, the Tyrant King Spear in Li Xuan's hand was complete.
How powerful would it be after learning it?
Without actual combat, it was still unknown!
Therefore, Li Xuan did not dare to say how powerful it would be. He could only make a slight guess that it should be enough for a Great Grandmaster to have the strength to match the integration of Heaven and man. It was very domineering.
But that was all.
"It's a waste not to learn!"
Looking at the Gun Manual of Tyrant King Gun, Li Xuan thought to himself,
"This is a unique skill that is famous in the Central Plains!”
Then, he looked at the gun manual in his hand.
[Tyrant King Spear] had a total of nine moves. Each move had five styles and the number of the Supreme Nine Five.
Every spear strike was in pursuit of the ultimate power.
Once it was cultivated and used, it would have the terrifying power to break the heavens and split the earth.
……
Time passed day by day.
After Li Xuan returned, other than opening a cannon in the Imperial Court and bombarding many courtiers, he pushed his mother, Consort Xian, to the position of Empress.
He did not do anything else.
If he wasn't cultivating spear techniques and sword techniques in the Imperial Residence every day, he would be idling around.
Or they would just stroll around Chang 'an Street.
He almost didn't do anything serious!
During Li Xuan's leisurely time...
The situation in the Central Plains was gradually changing from an undercurrent to a real storm.
A pressure that felt like a mountain was about to rain.
It gradually enveloped the entire Central Plains!
