Chapter Three Hundred and Fifty Nine The Chief of Internal Affairs, the Marquis of Ten Thousand Hous
"See the Emperor, long live my emperor!" The civil and military officials knelt on the ground and bowed deeply.
"Everyone is calm!" the empress said aloud.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
When the civil and military officials stood up in court, most of them respectfully lowered their heads and did not dare to look at the empress. Only the first few could express themselves a little casually. Respect is respect, but they would never be restrained.
"My dear friends!" The empress shook her sleeves and suddenly stood up. "Since Wu Xukuan was promoted to the chief minister of the cabinet and was given the Tiger Talisman to transfer the troops, the government and the country have been in turmoil, and the corruption has become more and more serious. Wu Xukuan is ambitious and has read the books of sages, but he has no imitation of the hearts of the ancestors. He has no king's laws and no monarch, and he is ashamed of the cultivation and heavy responsibility he has been doing since Emperor Xuanzong..."
Morning court is used to discuss matters.
Today is indeed a matter of discussion.
But the highlight is not a matter of discussion, but a conviction of Wu Xukuan and his followers, and rewarding all the ministers!
Everyone knows what the Empress is going to do today!
They are all mentally prepared, so they all understand the Empress's "opening remarks".
Zhou An held the whisk and stood beside the empress, listening to the empress's passionate speech, looking at the civil and military officials below! He knew that from today on, the Donggan Dynasty would open a new chapter. This is Donggan's "rebirth" and the most important moment in his Zhou An's life!
He will take the most important step to be able to dominate the world today!
"...Wu Xukuan can do such a thing, because it is the fault of the late emperor, and it is also my fault, I..."
The Empress's speech today can be said to be very bold. In fact, her "spokes" were not written by herself. The old ministers can be said to be very active. They had already written several speeches for the Empress to choose.
The Empress has excerpted some of them, written some of them herself, and some of them are written by Zhou An!
What are the "defeats of the late emperor" and "my mistakes", such shocking words were written by Zhou An, and only Zhou An dared to write them like this. The old ministers of other people dared not to use them with their ten courage to accuse the emperor of refusing his life?
A group of old ministers listed Wu Xukuan's "Thirty-six Major Crimes", but the empress did not move a word, and she said it in person, rather than letting the eunuch read it out.
Half an hour passed.
All that should be said is finished!
Wu Xukuan was nailed to the pillar of shame! The main reason was to convict him. As for those who followed her, the empress would not convict them one by one, they were not worthy! They just waited for the dynasty to disperse, and their crimes would be announced to the world!
"I am very glad that although the court is full of holes and worms, Wu Xukuan obeys it, but there are still loyal ministers like you who help me solve my problems. It is you who assisted me in clearing the chaos, it is you who returned the bright world of Donggan. I, thank you!"
After saying this, the empress, who was standing on the high platform, bowed to the lower part.
It's so scary!
Wow!
The princes and ministers of the dynasty knelt down in unison and kowtowed to the empress. Who dares to accept the emperor's ritual? This is to be punished by God! Especially for some more superstitious old ministers, the empress's life will be short of their lives. They are already old, and they are going to die!
"Sage, Master! Never! You are the true dragon emperor, the king of a country. Our ministers assist you with meager strength. It should be, it should be..." An old minister said nothing and seemed to be crying.
"Your Majesty, you are the destiny of heaven. The old thief Wu is just a flash in the pan and it is impossible to accomplish anything!"
"What Lord Jia said is the most important thing. Master Jia is the destiny of heaven!"
"Long live my emperor when destiny comes to heaven!"
"Long live my emperor when destiny comes to heaven!"
"Long live my emperor when destiny comes to heaven!"
Because Zhou An was standing behind the empress, and the empress did not salute him, he didn't have to kneel down. He just stood up and glanced at the ministers who were shouting more and more neatly. He really wanted to laugh.
hypocritical!
Too hypocritical!
Of course, the hypocrisy is not the empress. The empress is really thanking some people, such as Li Guangshan who made a comeback, the princes who have never been shaken before, and those old ministers with very tough bones and very stubborn tempers, they have been to join Wu Xukuan's hands from beginning to end.
Although some of them did not make much effort in the destruction of Wu Xukuan, at least they made contributions to stabilizing the Wu imperial power. It is precisely because of their presence that people saw that not everyone supported Wu Xukuan, which affected the ideas of many people.
Under power, when Wu Xukuan was the strongest, even the empress gave in, they still supported the imperial power and the empress. This was the only comfort the empress felt when she was most desperate, so the empress thanked them.
The empress is not hypocritical!
What is hypocritical are those fencemen and those old ministers who have never promised Zhou Ankang to make a comeback but still have the face to stand in the court at this time.
Shameless!
Before Wu Xukuan died, they didn't believe that the empress would be the destiny of heaven! Now they shouted so hard!
The empress slowly straightened up and raised her hand to signal.
The Fengtian Palace suddenly became quiet.
"All the ministers are calm." The empress said again.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
All the civil and military officials of the court stood up.
The empress had her hands behind her back and her expression became serious. After scanning the ministers, she said aloud: "Zhou An listens to the seal!"
"Sister is here!" Zhou An lifted his robe and knelt beside the empress.
"Wu Xukuan rebelled and chaotic in the case of the rebellion of the country, you have made great achievements and made great contributions..." The empress talked a lot again, just to talk about Zhou An's contributions in general, and finally said: "From today, I will grant you the eunuch, the chief supervisor of the inner court, the first-rank guard of the inner court, the eight imperial guards, and the head of the eight imperial imperial reigns. She was promoted to the Marquis of Chuanhe County, with a fief of ten thousand households, a reward of ten thousand taels, an outer house, and a hundred slaves..."
Promoted to the headmaster!
And he sealed the Great Nei Eight Emperors!
Zhou An finally replaced Kanglongi and was promoted to the head of the inner court!
Moreover, in order to ensure the rights of Zhou An's inner court, the empress even appointed Zhou An's inner court as the general supervisor. This position had existed before and was later revoked. Even Kang Longji was not the general supervisor of the inner court because he did not need it, because he was the Grand Master of Tiangang, and Zhou An was not yet.
In addition to the position of the Grand General Manager, as well as the Great Inner and Eight Independence!
The empress also gave Zhou An a very, very special title, which can be said to be a title that was only given to the great favor.
Still a Marquis!
It's a county marquis!
Marquis of Chuanhe County!
But he is a marquis of ten thousand households with fiefs!
The meaning of Wanhuhou is higher than that of ordinary county dukes and dukes. The ordinary dukes’ fiefs cannot reach ten thousand households, only eight thousand households!
and.
Before Wu Xukuan, he was the Marquis of Wanhu!
The only one is Wanhu Hou!
Now Wu Xukuan is dead!
Zhou An became the only marquis of ten thousand households!
Generally speaking, if you are promoted to the Wanhu Hou, you will skip the level of "public" and be directly awarded the king! A king of a different surname!
"Thank you, Master, long live my emperor!" Zhou An received the order to thank him.
"Get up." The empress turned her head and said.
She looked at the more than a hundred civil and military officials in the hall again.
All are nervous!
Those old ministers and the empress’s reward today will determine their fate, their family’s fate, and influence generations!
Chapter completed!
