Fish swimming around the world
Chapter 2059: Re-Announcement
When he spoke, he not only blamed Jiang Fan and saved some face for the officials, but also praised the righteousness of the five kings from another perspective, and brought up the barbarian invasion to highlight the necessity. At the same time, he was able to cover all aspects and finally define the nature of the matter.
The officials naturally didn't bother to argue, and they all whispered in agreement that it was reasonable, but no one responded explicitly.
Zhong Houde said: "I also understand what the officials are concerned about, that is, the leader of the alliance is the only one in power, and the five countries are unbalanced. However, your majesty and the prince are wise, and will select wise men from the other four countries to serve as important personnel and work side by side with the leaders of the five countries in the imperial court. I think your worries will not happen. There is no need to argue anymore."
When he said this, the officials simply went with the flow and said that this matter was feasible. So, Sima Ji successfully accepted the imperial edict under the attention of everyone and became the leader of the five countries. The imperial court conferred him the title of Shangzhuguo.
The dust settled, even though Sima Ji was calm, he couldn't help showing a little joy, but he quickly controlled his expression.
Jiang Fan quietly observed the others and found that their expressions were different. Xia Wang's old face was drooping, and he couldn't see any joy or anger. Yu Qingcheng's smile was a bit helpless. Sima Ru seemed calm, but the lowered corners of his mouth betrayed him. The other civil and military officials also had different expressions, and the prince above still couldn't see any expression.
At this time, an official asked who was the important person that Zhong Zaifu had just mentioned. Obviously, this was also what the officials really cared about secretly, the person who balanced the power of Shangzhuguo.
At this time, the prince who had been silent finally spoke: "Announce again."
So, Wang Wen Ce took out another imperial edict and read it aloud.
After the long prefix, the remaining key content is——
The dragon vein of the Great Zhou Dynasty was in trouble. It was robbed by the traitors and the national artifact, the magic whip, was stolen. At this time, the loyal minister Zhenxi Wang appeared on the five-colored auspicious cloud, and chased for thousands of miles. After dozens of hard battles, he finally took back the artifact and sent it back to the imperial court.
At this time, the imperial court felt that the artifact had been buried for nearly a thousand years and came out at this time, indicating that there was a spirit under the prime minister. He knew that the fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty was difficult, so he sent the artifact to find good talents to help the country overcome the difficulties. The imperial court specially selected virtuous people from the five countries to come and verify the inheritance of the prime minister. Once someone who can hold the magic whip is found, he can be regarded as the successor of the prime minister and will inherit his title of the hidden prime minister of the country. Although he does not participate in politics, he has the right to whip the monarch with a whip, beat the treacherous, and has the power to dispatch troops to serve the king.
As soon as this imperial edict came out, let alone anything else, the theft of the dragon vein of the Great Zhou Dynasty first caused the officials to be shocked and angry, and the entire Ziwei Palace was in an uproar.
That was the dragon vein of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Almost all officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty regarded it as the fate of the Zhou Dynasty. The theft of the dragon vein was a disaster.
Fortunately, the King of Zhenxi came out of nowhere and took back the artifact. Although many people secretly felt that there was something fishy, it was hard to imagine what happened. It was even less likely to suspect that the imperial court had stolen the artifact and made such nonsense as digging its own underground palace and destroying its own feng shui.
In the uproar of the officials, some people naturally questioned the matter. The result was not surprising. The prince came out to confirm it directly, and the prince also invited the King of Ying to join.
Jiang Fan was simply funny. The King of Ying was also unlucky. Not only did he not get the benefits, but he was also threatened by the prince to testify because he had participated in the matter.
What's more interesting is that this cheap old man also stated that Wei, Xia and even the Dark Dynasty had made a lot of efforts in taking back the Whip.
Naturally, Sima Ru, Zhang Yi and Wei Liao, the left prime minister who attended the secret court, could only help out. Just by looking at the faces of these people, Jiang Fan knew that the prince certainly didn't spare them.
So, without any evidence to prove that there was a problem with this matter, the eldest son of Jiang suddenly changed from a madman who was hated by everyone to a loyal and patriotic hero. Some people even thought that it was no wonder that he was so arrogant just now, because he had such a great merit.
There were also a few people with strong selfishness who were a little grateful to Jiang Fan. In their view, the dragon vein was related to the fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and if the Great Zhou was there, his official title would be there. For this reason, young man, you can be a little crazy, you can bear it.
But the next thing is the key. The hidden prime minister of the country!
As everyone knows, since the prime minister removed himself from his official position, the imperial court no longer had the position of the supreme prime minister. And with Taizong burying the magic whip and closing the underground palace, the title of the hidden prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty also disappeared completely.
Nine hundred years, so long that most people have forgotten that there is such a thing, and there is such a supreme title that has never been granted but has never been abolished.
The civil and military officials looked at each other in shock, never thinking that nine hundred years later, it would be brought up again, and the title that helped the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty but had been sealed for a long time would also be presented to the world again as the Great Zhou Dynasty tried to reverse its decline.
But there was almost no opposition to this matter.
There are three reasons. First, the matter of establishing the leader of the alliance just now. The reason why the five-nation leader was resisted by all officials was because there were only five countries in the world, and creating a leader seemed to threaten the imperial court. But with this hidden prime minister who guarded the country, and who came from the other four countries, it was obvious that it would restrict the upper pillar country, and the imperial court was not afraid of power falling into the hands of others.
The second reason was that the Great Zhou Dynasty was too decadent, and since these people were in high positions, who would not want to prolong the country's life and maintain their own wealth, power and fame? Naturally, the birth of the national artifact and the return of the prime minister must be a good thing, at least it gave these officials of the Great Zhou a lot of illusory and mysterious confidence. Especially since the full name of the prime minister was the hidden prime minister who did not participate in politics, theoretically he was not a big threat to them. The reason why they were very resistant in the past was because they did not know about the divine whip, and they did not know that the so-called prime minister was actually the hidden prime minister.
The third reason is that the selection method given by the imperial court is also very reasonable. In the end, it was decided that except for Jin, each of the four countries would submit five candidates, which was fair and reasonable.
At this time, many people began to secretly praise the prince for his cleverness. Although he established a leader, he also found a prime minister to check and balance. These two people would mediate the five countries on his behalf. Many people even thought that for the imperial court, it was almost like mastering two major princes at once, and the real power would soar. Why worry about not being able to gradually advance and eventually master the five countries and reunify? At that time, his official position would really be in name only.
So, this second thing was directly agreed by the civil and military officials.
Jiang Fan was a little surprised. The obstruction from the court he imagined did not appear at all. But he also understood that the real obstruction did not come from this.
Sure enough, when Wang Wen Ce asked for the third time if anyone objected, the bells and drums suddenly rang at the foot of the mountain, followed by a mighty voice.
"I don't agree."
All the officials were startled and looked out.
Jiang Fan sighed slightly in his heart, what was supposed to come finally came.
