Chapter 413: Court Council
This time, Su Xin was very successful in standing up. At least those courtiers recruited by the princes were much more low-key, and they dared not openly make a move on the streets of Shengjing City.
And the next day, dozens of princes from the Great Zhou Dynasty sent people or personally delivered congratulatory gifts to congratulate the establishment of the Six Gates of Shengjing City. King Xiang Ji Yanyu and others even came to congratulate in person.
It has been several days since the establishment of the six gates in Shengjing City, and they only came to congratulate them now, obviously they fully realized Su Xin's influence in Shengjing City.
Su Xin has gained a firm foothold in Shengjing City. With the rights of the six sects in Shengjing City, Su Xin can be said to be the first person under the arrest of the four gods in the entire six sects.
Besides, Su Xin has not handed over the position of chief arrester of the six gates of Jiangnan Road, so Su Xin has even more power in his hands.
For these Dukes of the Great Zhou, there is no harm in their friendship with Su Xin. If their family children commit crimes in the future, they can also intercede with Su Xin.
And the other princes either came in person, or sent people to congratulate, and also expressed their friendship to Su Xin.
After all, Su Xin's move has too much influence on these princes.
It turned out that Chu Wang Ji Yanhao was planning to recruit Su Xin, but after the incident, Ji Yanhao gave up this idea. Now Su Xin is not something that any of them can recruit.
Many Dukes of the Great Zhou Dynasty came to congratulate and send congratulatory gifts. As the saying goes, do not hit smiling people with their hands. Su Xin also arranged people at the door, and welcomed them all politely into the six doors of Shengjing City. People go to arrange the banquet.
At this time, Su Xin felt that it would be great if he brought Huang Bingcheng.
Huang Bingcheng is better at dealing with these sundries. Su Xin's current spies and wind-chasing patrols allow them to do it, but they don't have much experience in handling such sundries.
Tie Shi is a very rigid person, not suitable for dealing with these matters. In the end, Tang Jiu stepped forward to help arrange everything properly.
Su Xin gave Tang Jiu a slightly surprised look. He is Tang Xian's adoptive son, but now he seems to be used to seeing big scenes, and he arranges everything in an orderly manner.
Su Xin originally thought that his character was like iron and stone, but now it seems completely wrong.
After a while, Tie Shi suddenly came over and said, "My lord, Zheng Guogong's eldest son, Gao Yue, sent a congratulatory gift."
Su Xin was taken aback, Zheng Guogong of course knew who it was, and that was the biggest backer behind Ji Yancheng. Now that he and Ji Yancheng were inseparable, why did he come here?
"Go, go out and have a look."
They came to give gifts, so of course Su Xin couldn't turn them away.
Seeing Su Xin come out, Gao Yue cupped his hands to Su Xin and said: "Master Su, the matter of His Royal Highness King Tai is in the past tense, and I hope you will not take it to heart, Mr. Su."
Su Xin also smiled and said: "I, Su Xin, have always been people who don't offend me and I don't offend others. I have never provoked His Royal Highness the King of Thailand."
Gao Yue nodded and said: "Lord Su, please rest assured, His Royal Highness the King of Thailand will never take the initiative to provoke you, Master Su."
After finishing speaking, Gao Yue directly cupped his hands, turned and left.
He didn't come here to convince Su Xin, but he just didn't want Su Xin to target Ji Yancheng again.
Ji Yancheng had learned enough lessons this time, and it would be meaningless to fight Su Xin to the death.
But he thought too much, and Su Xin didn't intend to continue competing with Ji Yancheng. It was also meaningless to compete with Ji Yancheng for a deposed prince.
The time to congratulate has already been congratulated. Su Xin won the first battle. At least the princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty told their disciples to be careful when they went back. Don’t be caught by the six gates of Shengjing City, lest we have to give you intercede.
So now those arresters from the six gates of Shengjing City are walking on the street again, even those sons of princes who have always been arrogant are a little scared when they see them, and they dare not be as presumptuous as before.
After half a month of stability like this, Tie Zhan suddenly sent someone to tell Su Xin to go to court with him.
Su Xin was taken aback when he heard the news, because Ji Haodian, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, hadn't been to court for a long time.
The Great Zhou Dynasty gave each way a great deal of power, and the chief arresters of the six sects and the chief commander of the marching army of each way can fully deal with most situations.
So it turns out that Da Zhou also goes to court every ten days, and there is no need to discuss other matters. The civil servants in the Da Zhou Department can handle it by themselves.
Later, Ji Haodian's health became worse and worse, and he was even exempted from going to court once in these ten days. Anyone who had any important matters could report to him directly. Unless it was a major event, there was no need to call everyone to the court for a meeting.
With doubts in his mind, Su Xin went straight to the six gates and found that the four great arresters had gathered and were ready to go to court together.
In fact, only the Four Great Gods and Tie Ao are eligible to participate in the court council. However, Su Xin, as the Chief Catcher of Shengjing City, has a special position, so he is allowed to participate in the court council.
The four of them didn't speak a word along the way, and Su Xin remained silent. He followed the crowd to the palace hall. On the way, he met many princes of Zhou and the military. Everyone stood neatly waiting for Ji Haodian to arrive.
The positions of the six doors and the military are relatively front, but the princes of Dazhou are at the front, and it is also the first time for Su Xin to see all the princes of Dazhou who are qualified to seize the throne.
Standing in the first place is naturally the crown prince Ji Yanheng, who is about forty years old, but his expression is very depressed, and he looks a little flustered.
For the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Su Xin only gave him a two-word evaluation, which is to die.
As the prince of the Great Zhou, Ji Yanheng's mother clan was also a Duke of the Great Zhou.
Moreover, he is the oldest and was established as the prince. With this status, even if he is just a mediocre person, he will attract the support of a lot of people. It will be difficult for the princes below him to catch up with him. It is difficult.
But what did Ji Yanheng do? Anyone who mentions Ji Yanheng will say that the crown prince is immoral and unworthy to be the crown prince, and even now he is no different from being directly deposed.
Su Xin once inquired about the reason, and he was speechless for a while after hearing it. He couldn't believe that Ji Yanheng, as the prince, would do such a thing that even an idiot would not do.
He actually wanted to rape Ji Haodian's concubine in the harem and cuckold his father.
But that's all. After all, Ji Haodian is old, and there are hundreds of beauties in the harem, 90% of which he has never met.
Besides, being in the royal family, Ji Haodian has seen dirtier things than this. As the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized, so it's fine if he punishes and reprimands Ji Yanheng.
But what really put Ji Yanheng into the cold palace was what he said when the concubine resisted.
"There's no need to resist, anyway, after the death of the father, you will all be mine, won't it be the same sooner or later?"
It was because of this sentence that Ji Haodian was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot, and almost beat Ji Yanheng to death on the spot.
Ji Yanheng's mistake was not in molesting the concubine, but in saying something he shouldn't have said.
Ji Haodian is a hero of a generation, he is not dead yet, you miss my throne and my woman, does it mean that if I live a little longer, you will rebel?
So from Su Xin's point of view, it was Ji Haodian's forbearance that Ji Yanheng was not abolished on the spot.
Of course, now Ji Yanheng's state is no different from being abolished, and the other princes have also seen it, so they started such a fierce competition.
And standing under Ji Yanheng is the third prince Zhao Wang Ji Yanlu.
Ji Yanlu came from a mediocre background, but he himself has a lot of friends, is modest and prudent, and has a very good reputation in the army.
Moreover, Ji Yanlu once joined the army in Beiyuan incognito, fought against the Golden Horde Khanate several times, and even achieved the official position of a school lieutenant before he was discovered.
This made Ji Yanlu's reputation in the army very good, and several marching chiefs supported Ji Yanlu both openly and secretly.
Among the many princes present, only Ji Yanlu was wearing a suit of armor.
There is another prince whom Su Xin has never met before, that is Chu Wang Ji Yanhao.
It was rumored that Ji Yanhao was ruthless, but he was actually handsome and harmless on the outside.
As for the remaining Ji Yanyu and Ji Yancheng, Su Xin knew each other.
Generally speaking, among the many princes of the Great Zhou, only the five of them are the most likely to win the throne.
Although the other princes also have some influence, they are far inferior to the five of them.
After a while, several young eunuchs helped an old man in a dragon robe to sit on the dragon chair. Tang Xian bowed his body and waited on him respectfully.
"See Your Majesty!"
Everyone saluted Ji Haodian respectfully, but no one knelt down.
These people are the courtiers of the Great Zhou, not the servants of the Ji family, so in the Great Zhou, except for the eunuchs in the palace, everyone else can not kneel when they see the emperor.
Su Xin was also secretly looking at Ji Haodian.
Ji Haodian's face was very old, with a sickness that couldn't be concealed, only a pair of eyes that were as sharp as a falcon, and extremely domineering.
He should not be eighty years old this year, which in the eyes of ordinary people has indeed entered his twilight years.
But although Ji Haodian is not a warrior, but the Great Zhou now dominates the Central Plains, what natural materials and earthly treasures can't be found? Even if Ji Haodian is an ordinary person, it shouldn't be a problem to live to be around two hundred years old.
However, it is said that Ji Haodian was assassinated in his early years, which caused his internal organs to be damaged. He invited famous doctors from all over the world to treat him, but there was nothing he could do. He could only rely on some precious panacea to hold on.
It was okay at the beginning, but in recent years Ji Haodian has eaten those pills as food, but he still can't stop the flow of vitality.
That's why those princes are ready to move, and even Da Zhou, who has just stabilized, is a little turbulent.
On the dragon chair, Ji Haodian said softly: "Today's court meeting, I just want to say one thing, and that is the ownership of the crown prince."
His voice was old and hoarse, and it wasn't too loud, but when he uttered this sentence, it shocked everyone present. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users please browse and read for a better reading experience.
