Volume 1 Chapter 151 Bai Qi is named the Imperial Teacher
Bai Qi looked around coldly, especially at the civil officials.
The civil officials looked at each other in bewilderment, and in the end no one dared to stand up and oppose the Ninth Prince from becoming the Emperor of the Great Zhou.
After all, the election of the Emperor of Zhou was led by Bai Qi, and all the princes participated in the competition.
That’s quite fair!
There was no shady dealings.
In particular, it is an indisputable fact that the Ninth Prince has the support of the vast majority of the people and the nation.
These civil officials finally turned their eyes to the three priests. The only people here who had the courage to oppose Bai Qi were the priests of the royal family of the Great Zhou!
The Ninth Prince also looked at the Third Priest eagerly.
Whether he can truly ascend to the throne of the Son of Heaven ultimately depends on whether he can gain the recognition of the royal family of the Great Zhou!
Bai Qi's gaze also swept over the Zhou royal family's priests. At this moment, the third priest felt extremely aggrieved. He didn't want to choose someone that Bai Qi favored.
But now the Ninth Prince has gained the support of Bai Qi, and also the support of the people and the nation!
What Da Zhou needs now is stability, not internal strife!
The Third Priest snorted coldly, easing his depression, and then said loudly: "On behalf of the Great Zhou Royal Family Priests, I also recognize the Ninth Prince's talent and have no objection to the Ninth Prince ascending the throne of the Son of Heaven!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the civil officials wilted completely like eggplants hit by frost.
It was as if all their energy and spirit had been drained away.
One can even imagine that in the future court, Bai Qi will have the final say!
No!
It should be said that the military generals have the final say!
After all, General Cao Changqiu also supports the Ninth Prince.
The Ninth Prince was so excited that he wanted to jump up, but the princes beside him sat down on the ground, their hearts filled with extreme fear.
You know, they are competing with the Ninth Prince for the throne!
Everyone knows how miserable the loser is in the battle for succession since ancient times!
If I had known this would happen, I would have rather not fought for it and could have been a free and wealthy prince!
But it's probably too late now.
Bai Qi didn't waste any words. Seeing that so many people had no objection, he cut the Gordian knot and said:
“In that case, the Ninth Prince will immediately begin the coronation ceremony!
The country cannot be without a ruler for a day. After the emperor ascends the throne, the soldiers must return to Honghua City quickly! ”
good!
The three priests couldn't help but applaud Bai Qi. Now he was finally relieved that Bai Qi really had no intention of usurping the throne!
This is all about getting the soldiers in the border areas back to their own cities as soon as possible.
Of course, the Ninth Prince would rather become the Emperor of the Great Zhou as soon as possible. As for the complicated etiquette, he doesn't care. These things can be done later.
Instantly, all the civil officials and common people knelt on the ground, shouting in unison: "Greetings to the Emperor!"
Wave after wave of people knelt down. Even the soldiers dismounted from their horses, put away their weapons, and knelt down to salute the Ninth Prince.
Immediately, palace maids and eunuchs ran over, holding the crown and dragon robe in their hands and put them on the ninth prince.
Princess Anyang's beautiful eyes were filled with joy and relief, and she murmured to herself, "Mother, did you see that? My little brother has finally become the Lord of the Great Zhou!
No one in this world can bully us siblings anymore! ”
As she spoke, Princess Anyang's eyes became moist. She had endured so much hardship over the years, and finally her hardship had come to an end.
After putting on the dragon robe and crown, the Ninth Prince felt much more at ease. He looked at everyone below with high spirits and said loudly: "Yang Wudi, come forward and listen to the order!"
Yang Wudi took a step forward and half-knelt in salute.
The Ninth Prince immediately said, "Yang Wudi has been guarding the northwest and defending the Great Zhou against the Xiongnu for more than 20 years. This time he defeated the Xiongnu again, so he was specially named the Prince of Zhenxi County!"
"I thank you!"
Yang Wudi's face was filled with excitement.
Although the title of Prince of Zhenxi is not hereditary, and even his son cannot inherit it, it is the highest honor for a military general!
"Your Majesty is wise, and the general is mighty!"
"Your Majesty is wise, and the general is mighty!"
The soldiers from Honghua City shouted wildly, their hearts were extremely excited. This was simply the best news they had ever heard.
In their hearts, Marshal Yang Wudi was no longer a sinner of the Great Zhou, but a hero of the Great Zhou.
The Ninth Prince looked at Yue Shenqiang standing aside and said, "Yue Shenqiang, listen to the order!"
Yue Shenqiang stepped forward immediately.
The Ninth Prince said: "Yue Shenqiang led the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty and almost destroyed the Northern Liang Dynasty in one battle. He expanded the territory for our Great Zhou and had the merit of destroying a country!
Therefore, Yue Shenqiang was promoted to Prince Yuewu! ”
Another king was crowned!
The people were extremely happy as they finally saw Marshal Yue being cleared of his grievances.
But there was no joy on Yue Shenqiang's face at this moment, only a deep pain in his eyes. What difference would it make to be crowned king?
All the damned ones are dead!
But he still bowed his hands in thanks.
The Ninth Prince took a fancy to General Cao Changqiu again and said loudly:
"General Cao Changqiu speaks out for justice and is mature and prudent, so I specially confer the title of Grand Tutor to you!
Because the Prime Minister has not returned yet, General Cao Changqiu will temporarily take over the position of Prime Minister to handle military and national affairs! ”
"I thank you!"
General Cao Kangqiu was overjoyed. This reward was too generous!
Although he was not made a king, it was also because he had no military merits!
But he was appointed as Taifu, and most importantly, he served as the acting prime minister. That is to say, in the court, no matter whether it is civil officials or military generals, he has the final say!
He seemed to have become the most powerful person in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, second only to the emperor and above everyone else!
Finally, the Ninth Prince set his sights on Bai Qi. He was extremely cautious about rewarding him.
He even exchanged glances with his sister, Princess Anyang.
Princess Anyang meant to him that he should be given the highest title possible!
The Ninth Prince then looked at the three priests next to him, and the three priests secretly told him to be alert to Bai Qi, saying that now all the priests of the royal family of the Great Zhou would support the Ninth Prince, so he should not be afraid!
The Ninth Prince rolled his eyes, pondered for a while, and said loudly:
"General Bai Qi, the Grand Marshal, has a long record of military exploits. This time he is leading his troops back to the capital to kill the tyrant and restore peace to the Great Zhou!
Therefore, I appoint General Bai Qi as the Imperial Teacher! ”
Imperial teacher!
As soon as this title came out, the civil officials all gasped.
The Ninth Prince wants to treat Bai Qi as a disciple!
Although there was not much change in Bai Qi's power, this kind of honor was rare.
854 years since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, that is, during the founding war, the man who helped the founding ancestor to establish the Great Zhou Dynasty was named the imperial teacher!
It can be seen how much the Ninth Prince values Bai Qi at this moment.
The Ninth Prince bowed deeply to Bai Qi, "Please teach me, teacher!"
Bai Qi laughed. It seemed that he had really underestimated these princes. Each one was more cunning than the other.
The Imperial Teacher sounds noble, but he has no power at all. Is he starting to be on guard against me and try to undermine me?
