But seeing Jiang E beside him also looking shocked and puzzled, Jiang Jian asked Di Mengjunnu, "When did this happen?"
Di Mengjunnu said: "My master told me in a dream last night."
Jiang Yan suddenly realized that it was Daoist Master Tai Yan who had told Lady Di Meng in her dream last night. This was not surprising, so she asked, "When will the guard arrive?"
Di Mengjunnu said, "Master said it will arrive tonight at the latest."
Jiang Yan nodded slightly, then turned to Jiang E and said, "You asked me to come see Lady Di Meng, isn't it just for this matter?"
"Of course not." Jiang E came back to her senses and said, "Daughter Di Meng, please tell my aunt."
"Well, okay." Di Mengjunnu nodded, then opened her eyes wide and said to Jiang Lang seriously, "Dao Zun Jiang Lang, the position of 'Jiang Jinwu' in the Dao Court is still unfilled, right?"
Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
The Emperor Mengjunnu said, "Well... I want to propose at the meeting tomorrow that my good brother be appointed as the Praetorian Guard. I hope you can support me."
"Good brother?!" Jiang Yan was a little confused. "Who is this?"
The Emperor Mengjunnu said, "It's Fang Jian, the captain of the Night Patrol."
"Oh~~~" Jiang Yan suddenly realized. She looked at Jiang E, and then turned her gaze back to Emperor Mengjunnu.
Empress Di Meng asked with concern, "Is it okay? Daoist Master Jiang Yan."
"Of course." Jiang E said from the side: "She has already promised me."
Jiang Yan sighed helplessly, then said, "Daughter of Emperor Meng, how are you going to get to the meeting platform tomorrow? Aren't you even unable to leave Baoqing Palace?"
The Emperor Mengjunnu chuckled and said, "My master told me that. Last night, my master told me in a dream that he had reached an agreement with the five regent Daozuns, and one of the terms of the agreement was to make me the 'Councilor'."
Jiang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "I see."
But she quickly frowned and said, "I support your proposal, Lady Di Meng, and there's nothing wrong with it. However... the five ministers really dislike Captain Fang Jian, so I doubt this will pass."
Jiang E said, "With the support of Emperor Mengjun's daughter, Auntie, and all the Jiang clan's councilors, the five ministers shouldn't reject this proposal, right?"
Jiang Jian shook his head and said, "There are a total of 108 councillors on the council platform, and they all come from different factions. Although our Jiang family has 18 councillor seats, compared to the 108 people, it only accounts for one-tenth. If a proposal is not supported by more than half of the councillors, the five council assistants will definitely reject it without any negotiation."
"This..." Di Mengjunnu and Jiang E were stunned for a moment. However, seeing their expressions, Jiang Yan pondered for a moment and said, "How about this? Tomorrow, Di Mengjunnu will raise this proposal at the meeting table. I will then go find some council ministers who are on good terms with me and convince them to support Di Mengjunnu's proposal."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Mengjunnu and Jiang E's faces lit up with joy. Emperor Mengjunnu even stood up and bowed to Jiang Yan, saying, "Then I'll have to trouble Daoist Master Jiang Yan."
Jiang Lang quickly stood up to return the greeting. Afterwards, Jiang Lang and Jiang E sat with Emperor Mengjunnu in Baoqing Palace for a while, and then left in Emperor Mengjunnu's reluctant gaze.
At 5:15 PM, Jiang Jian indeed sensed a powerful aura entering Yujing City, and then came to the conference table to meet the five assistants.
The person who came was a girl of about sixteen years old. She was pure and cold, with a true and spiritual fairy spirit between her eyebrows. She was the fairy child 'Chu Yuan' of Yuzang Mountain, the Taoist Master Taiyan, who was now sent to Yujing City to guard the daughter of Emperor Mengjun.
The five ministers have also received the decree from the five regent Dao Zuns, appointing the daughter of Emperor Mengjun to the position of Minister of Council, and conferring the title of Dao Zuns of the Great Dao Court on Chu Yuan.
The five ministers immediately promulgated the edicts of the five regents to the world: first, the daughter of Emperor Mengjun was appointed as the minister of council; second, Chu Yuan was conferred the title of the great Dao Ting Dao Zun.
After the imperial edict was issued, the Council issued another decree in the name of the five ministers, ordering all the council officials in Yujing City to report to the Council Hall at the hour of Mao tomorrow to welcome and congratulate the new council officials, Emperor Mengjun and Taoist Master Chu Yuan.
The next morning, at exactly 12:00 AM.
The wide Tianjie Street outside the council platform was filled with luxurious and extravagant imperial carriages. All 108 council ministers, led by five assistant ministers, stood on the jade platform, and everyone was looking forward to it.
Not long after, a royal carriage slowly approached from a distance.
Soon the imperial carriage stopped on the street outside the council platform, and several senior ministers and more than ten junior ministers immediately came forward to greet it.
As the curtains of the imperial carriage slowly opened, a young girl wearing a light blue Taoist robe, with a tall and straight figure and a cold and calm face walked down from the carriage.
The senior and junior ministers on the council platform immediately bowed and said, "Greetings to Taoist Master Chu Yuan."
Chu Yuan glanced at him lightly, ignoring everyone, and turned around to reach out and take the Emperor Mengjun's daughter out of the imperial carriage.
This scene shocked and envious the people outside the conference table. A powerful person in the second level of Purity Realm was serving a Daluo Jinxian. They had never seen such treatment before. It was indeed extraordinary to have a master in the third level of Purity Realm.
When Lady Di Meng and Taoist Master Chu Yuan arrived outside the meeting platform, the five assistants immediately led everyone forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings to Lady Di Meng."
The Emperor Mengjun's daughter bowed in return, then said crisply, "Gentlemen, please stand."
"Thank you, Emperor Mengjun." Everyone stood up and bowed, then bowed to Chu Yuan and said, "Daoist Master Chu Yuan."
Taoist Master Chu Yuan bowed in return, and then the five assistants asked Lady Emperor Meng to walk with them at the front and led everyone into the rather large hall to the left of the main hall of the council platform: the Upper Hall.
