C9 From Today Onwards You Are the Emperor(part I)
The study door closed again, leaving only the window open. Only Zhou Jun and Lee Wu were left in the room.
Zhou Jun could also casually ask the questions he was concerned about, "What are the origins of those two priests?"
"The scroll just now should be Earth Sect's Sleeve Universe. Sleeve Universe Universe is one of Earth Sect's direct martial arts. Both of them should be Earth Sect's direct martial arts, but I have never heard of their Taoist names." Lee Wu said thoughtfully.
"Alright, let the Six Fans Sect investigate these two people later." Zhou Jun said.
"What are you thinking?" Lee Wu bent down and lowered her head. She moved her mouth close to Zhou Jun's ear and asked softly.
A gentle and tough voice sounded in Zhou Jun's ear.
Zhou Jun was at a loss for what to do, so he slightly shook his head. After pulling a certain distance away, he slightly turned around and faced Lee Wu. After calming his mood and preparing his words, he said, "There are some things that need to be done for others to see."
After Zhou Jun finished speaking, Lee Wu looked at Zhou Jun's eyes for a long time. After about a minute, she said, "Oh, I understand."
You understand when I don't even understand myself? Zhou Jun thought.
Lee Wu didn't wait for Zhou Jun to recover from his thoughts and bit Zhou Jun's lips.
She took a bite and quickly ran out of the study.
"Uh..." Eldest Sister, I already gave you my virginity, why are you still so shy?
...
It had been a few days since the Ming Dynasty had a morning assembly, but there was still the inner pavilion. Although there was no emperor to review, the orders given by the inner pavilion were not in line with the laws of Ming Dynasty. However, this was a very unusual period of time. Moreover, this situation had already been precedent in Ming Dynasty. Therefore, he would temporarily follow the precedent to prevent the new Emperor from not ascending the throne yet. The entire court was in a mess.
There were six Cabinet members in Ming Dynasty. One of them was grand secretary, who was the Chancellor of the Cabinet. He was a rank two official. The two elders were assisting grand secretary, and they were rank two officials. The other four were Great Scholars in front of the Hall of Fame. Rank three official. These six held positions in the six departments of the Imperial Court. Or rather, they hold positions in the six divisions of the Imperial Court. They were appointed as deputy officers of the six divisions.
Therefore, these six cabinet members could be considered to have the power to conquer the entire court.
However, there was another system in the Ming Dynasty, which was the Office of Royal Affair. The Office of Royal Affair was only made up of members of the royal family. Every member of the Office of Royal Affair was an elder of the inner pavilion. This was how the inner pavilion interfered with the imperial power.
Today, on the fourth day of the new Emperor's death, after a group of Cabinet officials discussed the administrative matters of the Imperial Court with the officials of the six divisions, the remaining Cabinet officials and officers of the six divisions once again began to discuss the matter of the new Emperor's coronation.
First, it was King Jun, the elder who looked like he was about to die, but had already endured the torture of two emperors, who spoke, "The Ming Dynasty cannot have no ruler for thousands of miles a day, and the people of the Ming Dynasty must not have no ruler for a day. A few days ago, a doctor advised the physician to choose one of the four blood brothers from the previous emperor. However, something big happened last night. I think everyone should know about it. "
When King Jun said this, the rustling whispers in Yingge Hall suddenly became the same. Everyone restrained their expressions and made themselves face this pavilion elder who rarely spoke out in silence.
None of the ministers present said anything. They just waited for grand secretary to speak. grand secretary did not let them down. He said with a solemn expression, "Last night, there was an assassin who tried to kill the four blood brothers of the late emperor. The Zhuang King and King Heng were killed. Prince You was seriously injured and unconscious. Luckily, King Lin was safe. The assassin was killed in King Lin's Mansion. However, there are many suspicious points about this case. I have already ordered Six Fans Sect and the capital to investigate this case. Find out the real culprit to comfort King Zhuang and King Heng in heaven."
Although grand secretary looked pale and his hair was white, his words were full of energy, and he didn't look old at all.
However, grand secretary's righteous words did not satisfy King Jun. King Jun frowned and said, "grand secretary, although this case has not been settled yet, we can slowly investigate it. However, a country cannot be without a ruler for a day. It is time to choose a new Emperor to ascend the throne."
"Indeed. I wonder if the pavilion elder has a candidate?" grand secretary cupped his hands towards King Jun and asked.
"The late emperor only has two sons left. After the assassination, King Yu was unconscious. After the Imperial Physician gave him a consultation, he said that King Yu's back was injured, and he might be paralyzed. Therefore, I suggest that King Lin ascend to the throne." King Jun said unhurriedly.
Grand secretary waited for King Jun to finish speaking and immediately lifted the ivory plate on the tea table next to him. "I agree!"
Huh?
All the officials and officials of the six divisions looked at grand secretary, who was holding the ceremonial plate up high, in surprise.
However, they were all experienced officials. They quickly hid their expressions and maintained their usual wooden faces. They followed closely behind grand secretary and the pavilion elders and raised their ceremonial tablets.
"I agree."
"I second that."
"..."
A new king's coronation was decided like a child's play.
However, the first person who suggested it, King Jun, did not have a good look on his face.
...
The voices of the officials from Yingge Hall were heard the moment they stepped out of the high wall of the palace.
At this moment, the decision of the new ruler, which was supposed to be a child's play, became even more 'friendly' to the people.
The somber atmosphere in the capital had become much lighter these days.
The small street at the entrance of King Lin's Mansion had become even stricter. Those who did not have the Empress Dowager's decree, the Cabinet's decree, and the Office of Royal Affair's Golden Dragon Order were not allowed to enter.
There were even birds that flew over a hundred feet above King Lin's Mansion, and there would be archers who would shoot them down.
At this moment, Zhou Jun was eating dinner. En, it should be called dinner.
Dinner was in the main hall of the King Lin's Mansion.
There were more than twenty dishes on a large round table below, and they would be replaced at all times. As long as Zhou Jun was not satisfied or Lee Wu was not satisfied, they could be replaced and serve another dish.
Zhou Jun's appearance was similar to the one he used to eat hotpot at a restaurant in his previous life, and the small circle on it could indeed be changed...
The appearance of this table also had a meaning, which was that the sky was round and the place was round.
The side of the square table was three meters, the small circle on it was 1.5 meters in diameter, but there were only two stools. One was Zhou Jun, and the other was Lee Wu.
Zhou Jun did not change this, nor did he invite the female servants who were standing at the side to eat.
Although he was no longer the original King Lin and Zhou Jun, he wanted to play King Lin and Zhou Jun, so he did not do those extraordinary things that were commonly seen in novels.
Moreover, he could not use the flag of being happy with the people. He was in the capital, and he did not have the flag of being good with the people. If he used such a flag, it would be like sticking his neck under the knife of the emperor.
Although there was no Emperor now, and he was very likely to succeed the throne, the situation was still uncertain, and there could not be any overstep.
Just as Zhou Jun and Lee Wu were about to eat, there was a hurried sound of footsteps outside the hall.
The footsteps were quite dense and there were quite a number of people running over.
Except for the Great Manager, the four stewards of King Lin's Mansion ran in with joyful expressions on their faces.
They were so happy that they almost shed tears of joy.
'What's so exaggerated about it? '
