Ra is supreme
Chapter 22 Power Struggle between the Emperor and His Ministers
Then, Xibohou Wu Kui turned to look at Long Siqi and said respectfully, "I heard that the Princess Long Siqi beside the emperor is a deity from heaven, possesses powerful divine power, and played an important role in this war. I wonder if these rumors are true?"
The emperor smiled and nodded: "Princess Long Siqi is indeed a deity from heaven. She possesses extraordinary divine powers. The reason why my eldest princess Wang Yunyan was able to easily capture the Nuxiong King Duoyerhan and the eldest prince Duoyerhao this time was all thanks to the help of Princess Long Siqi's divine power." The emperor looked at Long Siqi, who was tasting delicious food beside him, with pride and gratitude.
Wu Kui walked up to Long Siqi and bowed, saying, "I am the Marquis of Xibo Wu Kui, and I pay my respects to Her Royal Highness Princess Long Siqi. Her power is truly admirable! When I was in the Western Territory, I heard about your legendary stories. Today, I am able to see you in person. You are truly as beautiful as a fairy, totally different from any mortal creature in this world."
There was something ambiguous in Wu Kui's tone, and the emperor continued to look at him, wanting to see what tricks he was trying to play.
Long Siqi glanced at Wu Kui with cold eyes and nodded slightly. She saw conspiracy and provocation, dissatisfaction and suspicion, and even a hint of murderous intent in this man's heart.
Seeing Long Siqi's cold and domineering look, Wu Kui felt very unhappy. He thought, the emperor still gave him three times of face, and this woman of unknown origin dared to be so rude to him. So he decided to show the specially prepared program in advance, and then he would make Long Siqi kneel at his feet and beg for mercy.
Long Siqi had seen through Wu Kui's inner thoughts. She had no interest in dealing with the power struggles and intrigues among humans. However, the human man in front of her was so disrespectful to her and wanted her to kneel down and beg for mercy. This act of betraying one's teacher and ancestors was a complete provocation to the might of the dragon clan. A hint of coldness flashed in Long Siqi's eyes. She was going to teach this Xibo Hou Wu Kui a lesson today.
Seeing that Long Siqi ignored him, Wu Kui came to the emperor again and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, today is a great day for the whole country to celebrate. I have brought a great wizard named Sarge from the Western Territory. He can not only call the wind and rain, but also summon the fish, insects, birds and beasts on earth, and even communicate with the gods."
At this point, he also deliberately glanced at Long Siqi next to him, and said meaningfully: "Today, Princess Long Siqi is also here, so it's a good opportunity for Master Sarge to show some of his talents. Princess Long Siqi is also welcome to give some pointers."
The emperor stroked his beard and laughed, "My dear minister, you are so thoughtful. Great! I also want to see the power of the greatest wizard in the West." The emperor had heard of the great wizard Sargei a long time ago. He had been recruited by Wu Kui, the Marquis of Xibo. This time, Wu Kui brought him here specially to show his strength.
The power struggle between the emperor and his ministers began to surge secretly, spreading in Shenghe Hall like an invisible torrent.
Following the footsteps of Xibo Hou Wu Kui, the ministers also came to toast the emperor and Long Siqi one by one. Long Siqi didn't like such human social activities. She had a cold face throughout the whole process, and nodded occasionally. Fortunately, today's food was very special, which made her feel much better.
After all the ministers finished toasting, the Queen also led the princesses and several concubines of higher status to toast. When the eldest princess Wang Yunyan and the Queen came in front of Long Siqi, Wang Yunyan's loving expression could no longer be suppressed. She stood blankly in front of Long Siqi and said gently and respectfully: "Sister...Princess Long Siqi, you are so beautiful today!" Then she drank the wine in the glass and showed an infatuated look.
Long Siqi's response to Wang Yunyan was the most serious among all the people today. She actually raised her glass and gently clinked it with Wang Yunyan. The emperor next to her was quite surprised and thought, this princess and Long Siqi have a good relationship. Today, I will canonize the princess as the "God of Protecting the Country" and let her assist Long Siqi in the future. After all, Long Siqi acts according to her own preferences, and no one has the power to arrange what she does. Now the princess takes good care of Long Siqi and they have a good relationship. In the future, I can use Long Siqi's power and arrange for the princess to do many things. After all, the princess is my daughter and is very obedient and filial. Thinking of this, the emperor smiled with satisfaction.
The Queen Lu beside Wang Yunyan had completely different thoughts and feelings from the Emperor. She had been in charge of the harem for almost 36 years and was already years old this year. She had strong insight and high emotional intelligence. She had just discovered that her daughter had been looking towards the throne. She had called her several times but Wang Yunyan had not come back to her senses. Now observing Wang Yunyan's expression when she looked at Long Siqi closely, the Queen seemed to have sensed a small change in her daughter, but she couldn't tell what it was. She decided to take some time to test Wang Yunyan.
At this time, Wu Kui, the Marquis of Xibo, had returned to his seat and arranged for the eunuch to notify Master Sargei in the side hall.
The next step was the enthronement ceremony. The eunuch chief, Lu Qianqiu, held the imperial edict in his hand, stood in the center of the palace, and read aloud:
"The Emperor proclaims, by the Will of Heaven. Princess Wang Yunyan is my eldest daughter. She has been extremely intelligent since childhood, and is both civil and military, and I love her deeply. At this time of national crisis, Princess Wang Yunyan is brave and fearless, bravely broke into the enemy camp, and captured the Nuxiong King Duoyerhan and the eldest prince Duoyerhao, and made great military achievements. Princess Wang Yunyan is specially canonized as the 'God of Protecting the Country', and is given the title of 'Princess of the Country'. She is in charge of military power and commands the three armies to protect our country and our people. I hope Princess Wang Yunyan will live up to my expectations, perform her duties, be loyal to the emperor and love the country, and promote the prestige of our China. I decree this!"
When Wang Yunyan heard that she would be in charge of the military and command the three armies, she almost spit out all the wine she had just drunk. Wasn't the power given to her by her father too great? She was only 18 years old this year, and she didn't know what military ranks there were in the barracks, let alone how to lead the army to fight. What should she do? She originally thought that this "National Protector" was just a title to make it easier for her and her sister to be together more often.
Wang Yunyan had no idea that the emperor wanted to arrange for her to assist Long Siqi, and through this relationship, let Long Siqi indirectly become a powerful backer behind the three armies, so as to solve internal and external troubles. This ginger is still spicy with age.
Just as Wang Yunyan was about to kneel down to receive the imperial decree and thank the emperor for his grace, Wu Kui, the Marquis of Xibo, stood up and walked to the center of the hall, cupped his hands and said, "I have something to report to the emperor."
