I, Tianlaozhen Wangu, support the Empress from behind!

Chapter 225 Which prince can take on the important task?

"Greetings, Lord Chu!"

There was a carriage parked at the door, with a little eunuch standing beside it.

As soon as Chu He came out.

The young eunuch immediately put on a smile and walked forward.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time, sir." Chu He bowed and apologized.

"No, no, we are the ones who disturbed County Lord Chu..."

"Ha ha…"

After the two of them boasted about their business.

The young eunuch raised his head slightly and glanced at the sky, then said softly, "County Lord Chu, it's getting late. Please get in the carriage."

Chu He nodded slightly.

He lifted the door curtain and bent down to go inside.

The carriage moved quickly and without any bumps.

It is said that this is Tiangong Pavilion's latest invention, the "shock absorber". A carriage equipped with this device will be several times more comfortable to ride in than before.

When Chu He heard about this thing, he went out of his way to buy four of them.

Unfortunately, Tiangong Pavilion added a protective magic circle on the surface.

After exploding three, he gave up.

Sitting on it now, it feels much more comfortable than the previous "big sofa".

After all, there is the Tiangong Pavilion's soundproofing array around, so there won't be any noise unless it's necessary.

It is said that this carriage is used by nobles in the palace for travel, and he is just a small county lord.

Today I was lucky enough to take a ride on it.

As he shook his head and sighed, Chu He felt the carriage stop, and then the voice of the young eunuch came in.

"Lord Chu, we have arrived at the palace. Please get down and walk inside."

Chu He nodded.

He lifted the door curtain, walked out, and followed the young eunuch through the corridor to the side hall of the council hall.

"Lord Chu, please wait here for a moment. The emperor is talking to the Grand Tutor."

The young eunuch knew the rules of the palace. When he saw the doorplate of the side hall, he immediately called Chu He to sit next to him.

However, to Chu He's surprise, he sat down for less than a few breaths.

A few more people came in from the side hall.

There were the familiar Marquis Weiwu, Marquis Shengwu, Marquis Tianwu, and Marquis Diwu.

There were also a few men wearing purple and gold crowns whom he had seen at the dinner but could not remember their names.

Judging from his attire, he is definitely the Marquis of Daqian.

Chu He has worked with Weiwu Hou.

Some time ago, Chu He used the Thunder Blade to help him experience the feeling of being struck by lightning.

As soon as the two met, they started chatting.

"My Lord, do you know what's going on?"

"I don't know. I was preparing to rest when I suddenly received an order from the palace." Marquis Weiwu shook his head.

Ever since Chu He used the Thunder Blade to help him simulate the thunder tribulation, his confidence in surviving the tribulation has increased from 30% to 60%.

Increase exponentially.

This is the grace of saving life.

Unfortunately, his daughter has someone else in her heart.

Otherwise, if this guy becomes a son-in-law, he can use the Thunder Blade for free in the future...

If Chu He heard this.

He had to jump up and point his finger at me and curse.

Okay, I treat you as a brother, and you actually want to be my father-in-law?

However, this is actually the case.

The others also looked confused.

"It seems that the old Qian Wang's condition is a bit serious this time..."

Chu He was slightly surprised.

A few more people just arrived.

One of them was King Anyang, who had previously dug up the ancestral tomb of the Zhenwu Sect. Although his cultivation was not high, his weight was extremely important.

It is estimated that no one in the field can beat him.

This situation seems a bit like the rhythm of making arrangements for the funeral?

They are all the real powerful top figures in the Daqian Dynasty.

except him!

Chu He pondered secretly in his heart.

"My Lords, my lords, the emperor is waiting inside. Please follow me in."

At this time, an old eunuch came out of the side hall and began to preach.

It was Eunuch Zhang, the chief steward of the palace.

"Father-in-law, please."

Everyone chuckled and followed Eunuch Zhang.

The status of this old eunuch is no worse than that of an ordinary royal relative.

Soon, the group arrived at the meeting hall.

There are four people inside.

The old King Qian sat in the main seat, and the three dukes sat on the left.

Under the arrangement of Eunuch Zhang, everyone sat down one by one.

Chu He looked at his position.

I was secretly surprised that he was not the last one?

"Cough cough..."

Old King Qian cleared his throat, looked at everyone, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

And a faint regret.

The Daqian Dynasty lasted for a thousand years.

His dynasty was the only one that was the most powerful. There were many martial saints in the dynasty who had broken through the two-hand limit, and several large sects had been destroyed. The resources were even more massive.

The only regret was that he was ambushed by a thief and suffered irreversible injuries.

If not.

Over the years, he has led Daqian to pacify the four seas and subdue the eight wildernesses...

"Brother, your body..." King Anyang became a little anxious when he heard King Qian's voice.

"It's okay!" Old King Qian pressed his hand.

His sharp eyes swept over the crowd, taking in the changes in their eyes, and then he said, "My physical condition is indeed getting worse day by day, but I can still hold on for a while..."

"Your Majesty, may your Majesty be well!" Everyone quickly stood up and bowed.

The king humiliates and the minister dies!

The majesty of the old King Qian is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and no one dares to be careless.

In front of the old King Qian.

Without the strength of the ninth level of Martial Saint, it would be far from enough.

"Okay, sit back down." Old King Qian waved his hand.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"I called you here for only one reason." The old Qian Wang glanced at them sharply, and everyone sat up straighter as if a thorn in their backs. "The former crown prince behaved badly, and I have demoted him to the rank of Huai Jun Wang. However, the country cannot be without an heir for a day."

"You are all my right-hand men. Which prince do you think is capable of taking charge of the vast mountains and rivers of Daqian?"

"hiss--"

As soon as the old Qianwang finished speaking.

Everyone couldn't help but gasp in shock. What they feared would come true.

Since ancient times, if you participate in the fight for the throne of the royal family, you will prosper if you succeed, but if you fail, even death is sometimes a luxury.

Everyone in the field looked at each other secretly, and no one wanted to be the first to speak.

Supporting secretly is different from supporting openly.

Another thing is, if the old King Qian already has someone in his heart, this matter will pave the way for the new king.

Then they mentioned it.

Isn't that just digging a hole for yourself?

Everyone is an old hand, so naturally they are humming with their eyes on the nose and their nose on the heart.

Chu He was surprised.

But he is not stupid. The atmosphere is there, and what's more, he supports the Ninth Princess.

The first female emperor in Daqian in a thousand years.

If this were brought to the surface, everyone would probably throw it into the abyss.

That will create a lot of variables.

He doesn't have the power to suppress the world now.

"Why, you're not going to say anything? Aren't you usually very close to the princes?"

King Qian saw the look on everyone's faces.

He was so angry that he slammed the table, making the whole conference room buzz.

boom--

The guards outside the door broke through in an instant and entered with swords, their bright orange armor flashing with a cold light.

You can tell at first glance that they are well-trained soldiers.

The weakest ones are all at the fourth level of innate cultivation.

"Stand back." Old King Qian waved his hand.

"Yes." The guards saluted and turned to leave.

It seems that everyone still looks like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.

The old prince swept his sharp eyes over the three ministers and said in a tone that could not be refused:

"Three Lords, you are the leaders of the civil officials, so you will start first."
