Chapter 1182: So God wants to take back his destiny?
Emperor Tianxi's words seemed to have set off a huge wave.
Whether it was the civil and military officials or the officials' families and guards, their faces were filled with disbelief.
What is the imperial seal?
That is a symbol of imperial power.
As a result, the emperor said that the imperial seal in his hand was fake...
The hearts of many court officials began to beat wildly without any rhythm.
The Imperial Concubine and others were also frightened.
I was shocked and panicked at the same time.
The imperial seal is fake, so the emperor...
The Concubine Shu grabbed the Concubine Gui's arm and said in panic, "How is this possible? The seal in the Emperor's hand is fake, so what about the real one?"
Yes, really?
This question arose in everyone's mind.
But no one dared to ask.
"Your Majesty, are you joking?" The Minister of Rites said with some stammering.
Emperor Tianxi just glanced at the Minister of Rites, his eyes dim and unclear, and did not speak.
The Minister of Rites swallowed hard, his heart sinking.
In fact, the Minister of Rites also knew that the emperor would never joke about such a big thing.
He just couldn't believe it.
As the Minister of Rites, he had naturally come into contact with the imperial seal before.
He was sure that the imperial seal at that time was real.
The Minister of War was horrified and said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Seal has been passed down from ancient times and serves as the credential of successive emperors. If someone with ulterior motives were to obtain it and use it as a pretext to rally the people to rebellion, wouldn't our Great Yan Dynasty be in danger?"
As soon as the Minister of Rites finished speaking, Elder Liu immediately scolded him, "How dare you! How dare you overthrow the rule of Great Yan with just a jade seal?"
"Lord Liu, what you said is wrong!" A minister from the Ministry of Justice said solemnly, "The words 'Heaven's Mandate' are engraved on the jade seal. It's said that in ancient times, the jade seal was spiritual and could choose its own master. Hence, there's the saying that whoever possesses the jade seal will rule the world..."
"The world has changed over time, dynasties have come and gone. No matter how turbulent the times, the imperial seal has always fallen into the hands of emperors. Now that the imperial seal has been inexplicably lost, I'm afraid..."
The Minister of Justice did not finish his words, and as if realizing that he had said something wrong, he knelt down with a plop.
"Your Majesty, I deserve to die!" The Minister of Justice pleaded in a panic, saying, "I am not saying that Your Majesty is immoral and unworthy of being emperor..."
When the Minister of Justice said this, he stuttered, as if he realized that he had said something wrong.
So, he quickly changed his words and explained.
"Your Majesty, I, your humble servant, deserve death. I was shocked to hear that the seal in your hand was a fake, and that's why I spoke so inappropriately. Your Majesty has always been wise and brave, diligent in governing the country, and a wise ruler rarely seen in history..."
The Minister of Justice began to flatter him.
However, the words he said at the beginning were deeply imprinted in people's hearts.
Even if I try my best to suppress it, a thought will pop up in my mind involuntarily -
Could it be that the emperor is truly immoral and unworthy of being emperor, so God wants to revoke his will?
Seeing this situation, and looking at the expressions of the civil and military officials, Tang Bao sighed deeply in his heart -
No wonder the emperor uncle, even though he used the anti-hair loss cream he made himself, his hairline was still moving back and was showing a tendency to become a Mediterranean.
It turns out that the words "Heaven's Mandate" on the jade seal are so important.
When Tang Bao thought of this, she couldn't help but think of the phoenix seal given to the Queen.
The four characters "Heaven's Mandate" are also engraved on the Phoenix Seal.
Tang Bao looked towards Xuanyuan Jin.
Xuanyuan Jin frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.
However, he immediately felt Tang Bao's gaze and looked up at Tang Bao.
Tang Bao's lips moved and she silently said two words - Phoenix Seal.
Xuanyuan Jin shook his head, signaling Tang Bao not to interfere and to continue watching.
In this case, it is a good opportunity to confirm once again how many traitors there are in the court.
At the same time, Xuanyuan Jin didn't want Tang Bao to attract attention.
He was worried that it would bring danger to Tang Bao.
The eye contact between Tang Bao and Xuanyuan Jin only lasted a moment.
However, the Empress Dowager glanced at the two of them, and Emperor Tianxi also glanced at the two of them.
Tang Bao: “…”
Why are you all looking at me?
Following the Minister of Justice's flattery, many court officials began to follow suit, counting on their fingers and listing the achievements of Emperor Tianxi over the years.
For a while, flattery was everywhere.
However, the more this happens, the more people feel that the more they try to cover up something, the more obvious it becomes!
Prince Xiao showed an interested expression on his face.
He held the wine cup and drank casually while watching the performance of his ministers.
It's like watching a joke.
It has to be said that for Prince Xiao, it was a pleasant surprise to learn that the jade seal in Emperor Tianxi's hand was actually a fake!
If Dayan were to fall into internal strife and become unstable, it would be a great thing for Northern Qi.
Prince Xiao felt that his trip was indeed worthwhile!
Thinking of this, he looked at Tang Bao.
If we bring this little girl back to Northern Qi and use her for our own purposes, Northern Qi will surely be able to unify the world in due time!
When Prince Xiao thought of this, a surge of heroic spirit surged in his heart. He put down the wine cup in his hand, picked up the wine pot directly, tilted his neck back, put the spout of the pot to his mouth, and drank a few big gulps.
Then, he wiped the wine stains from his lips and said—
“Good wine!”
As soon as Prince Xiao finished speaking, all the ministers who were originally flattering him stopped listening in unison.
However, everyone looked towards Prince Xiao at the same time.
Prince Xiao raised his wine jug and said, "Everyone, please continue!"
A group of ministers: "..."
Anger was evident on their faces.
Prince Xiao's actions were not only mocking them, but also gloating over their misfortune.
Prince Rong asked gloomily, "Prince Xiao seems very happy?"
"Of course I'm happy!" Prince Xiao raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully, "I've heard about your Great Yan Emperor's many achievements and I admire him greatly. Besides admiration, I can't help but feel happy for your Emperor. After all, with so many loyal ministers, even without the Imperial Seal, it wouldn't matter."
Prince Rong: "...Of course!"
He gritted his teeth secretly and snorted again.
He said this with seemingly pride on his face, but in fact he felt extremely upset.
What does it mean that it doesn’t matter if there is no imperial seal?
Without the imperial seal, it means that your luck has run out and you can no longer rule the world!
Prince Rong thought of this and winked at some court officials.
As a result, the court officials immediately showed worried expressions and stopped praising Emperor Tianxi.
Too much is as bad as too little. If you exaggerate too much, it will seem as if it is true.
Prince Rong felt a little regretful that he had not hinted to these court officials earlier, so that they had flattered them too much.
The Empress Dowager's face was calm. She looked at Emperor Tianxi and asked in a gentle voice, "Your Majesty, when was the jade seal stolen? Do you have any clues?"
The Queen Mother's voice seemed to have a calming power that could make people's minds calm and peaceful.
Many court officials who were truly devoted to the country and were terrified gradually calmed down.
