The imperial seal!
The imperial seal has been passed down from the first emperor since the founding of Daqian.
It symbolizes imperial power and is the most crucial thing in inheriting the throne.
I didn’t expect it to be here!
"It's really the Imperial Seal!"
"Why are you here?"
Many ministers spoke in shock, but then they thought of some secret rumors.
Ten years ago, Prince Yan rebelled, and the entire palace was plunged into a bloodbath. After the Crown Prince was killed, many ministers supported the Second Prince to succeed him.
But at this critical moment, the army of Yanyun Kingdom was approaching, and the second prince had no choice but to become a hostage.
Later, Jiang Li inherited the throne, but the seal she used to issue imperial edicts was not Da Gan's imperial seal. Instead, she used the imperial seal engraved on her back, which was engraved with the four characters "敕靈皇印".
Although this situation seemed to deviate from tradition, the ministers were so frightened by the emperor's majesty that they only dared to discuss it in private.
At this moment, the ministers were naturally extremely surprised when they saw the seal in Jiang Li's hand.
The elders of two and three dynasties all knew that the imperial seal radiated light and possessed unparalleled royal majesty.
No other imperial seal can be imitated.
The one in front of you is the imperial seal!
"Our Emperor is wise and holy—Heaven's will is upon him!"
"Your Majesty holds the Imperial Seal, a symbol of legitimate succession. This should be announced to the world! Celebrate together! Long live our Emperor!"
More and more people knelt down and cheered loudly.
With Jiang Li in possession of the imperial seal, even the most critical scholars could not find anything wrong with him.
Wen Hong seemed to wake up and said:
"Your Majesty is the people's favorite, the will of Heaven, and blessed by successive emperors. You finally hold the imperial seal. Congratulations!"
"Since the Imperial Seal is hidden inside, and the Jing'an Earl and Gong Chengyin are both here, then there must be some misunderstanding about Jing'an Earl killing Gong Chengyin..."
Lin Che's heart trembled when he saw this.
We must set an example!
He straightened up, his face showing a sense of righteousness and fearlessness, and he interrupted General Wen Hong directly:
"Your Majesty! I, Jing'an Bolin Che—"
"Everyone takes responsibility for their own actions, and I will never bring any trouble to Da Gan. That Gong Chengyin actually dared to covet the imperial seal. I just killed him with careful consideration and clear thinking, and I have no regrets."
"If your Majesty thinks I'm doing something wrong, you can sentence me to death at any time!!"
Jiang Li was also beaming with joy at this moment. He reached out and gently supported Lin Che who was about to kneel down, and said excitedly:
"Lin Che, who dares to ask me to kill you? You are my lucky general!!"
"You have rendered such great service to me, and to the great cause. You are truly unrivaled in the world. Not only will I not blame you, I will also reward you! I will confer upon you the title... Marquis of Champion!!"
"From today on, you are allowed to come to court without bowing, and carry a sword!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
What?
Champion?
It had only been less than a month since Lin Che was made earl, and now he was immediately made marquis.
And he is the most dazzling champion.
You know, there have only been three champion marquises in the history of Dagan. They were all unparalleled in the world and were geniuses who dominated the battlefield.
The title of Champion Marquis had been vacant for many years, and today it was conferred on Lin Che?
But then, the ministers realized that Lin Che had first been a hostage for ten years for Da Gan, and then single-handedly changed Da Gan's perception of donations, saving tens of thousands of disaster victims in the Southern Region.
Now he has even helped to recover the imperial seal that had been lost for ten years.
The importance of this imperial seal cannot be measured by outsiders.
In other words, if Lin Che were a prince, the moment he found the imperial seal, he would have become the emperor of Dagan. Even if he was killed immediately, the history books would record his death as "His Majesty was assassinated!"
Jiang Li's biggest worry for the past ten years has been the lack of the imperial seal.
Lin Che's immense contribution was helping Jiang Li secure his throne!
Such a reward is definitely too little, and there will definitely be other rewards in the future.
"Thank you, Your Majesty—"
Lin Che immediately straightened her back.
Champion Marquis! This is Champion Marquis!
It feels so good that I don’t have to kneel down to worship the empress anymore.
He doesn’t have to kneel today, but how long is it before the day comes when the empress kneels before him?
Oh, and there are still accounts to settle!
"Your Majesty, during this hunting expedition, Fei Sanzhu threatened me, urging me to assassinate the Duke's seal. There must be a massive conspiracy. Your Majesty, please investigate thoroughly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fei Sanzhuo screamed, sat down on the ground, and twitched with fear.
"Your Majesty, spare my life, spare my life..."
As Fei Sanzhuo spoke, he hurriedly reached into his arms, took out a small bottle, and was about to commit suicide by taking poison.
But he was kicked by Wen Hong who was standing next to him, and several guards stepped forward and captured him directly.
Jiang Li seemed to have understood it long ago. She just glanced at Fei Sanzhu with contempt:
"How can you rats take away my kingdom?"
"Order the Mirror Division to thoroughly investigate this matter! No matter who it is, as long as they are involved here, don't let any of them go."
Mingjingwei quickly stepped forward: "As ordered—"
Lin Che immediately began to complain again, "Your Majesty, there are also Taoist warriors. They were sent by Lin Yaoguang to kill me."
Lin Pojun immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, there must be a misunderstanding here. My son Yaoguang would never do such a thing."
"Duke Zhenguo—can you guarantee it?"
Jiang Li said sternly, "If you want to forcibly protect your eldest son, I'll give you a chance. Let the Mingjing Division investigate! But if they find out it was him, then you, the Duke of Zhenguo, will retire and return home!"
"Your Majesty, I, I..."
Lin Pojun's body was shaking, and he subconsciously looked back at Lin Yaoguang, only to find that Lin Yaoguang was shaking all over, and his face looked uglier than a dead person.
It goes without saying whether it was Lin Yaoguang who ordered it.
Lin Pojun originally wanted to forcibly offer protection, but now he couldn't say a word.
bass--
Jiang Li suddenly pulled out the sword of the Shadow Guard next to him and pointed the tip of the sword at Lin Yaoguang.
"I gave you a chance!"
"Why do you insist on Lin Che's death over and over again?"
Plop!!
Lin Yaoguang was so frightened that he knelt down on his knees and wanted to beg for mercy from Jiang Li, but suddenly he thought of the key person and immediately looked at Lin Che.
"Brother, my dear brother. Big brother is wrong, wrong."
"Do you remember? When you were little, your elder brother would share everything he had with you. He also taught you when you were little."
"It's my fault. Please let me go. Let me go. I was just joking. I didn't want to kill you. I, I just asked them to teach you a lesson. It must have been Cheng Xuan. Cheng Xuan ordered them..."
"Please, let me go. My dear brother, from now on, you will be the prince of Zhenguo Mansion. Please, please let me go!"
