Ra is supreme

Wu Kui, the Marquis of Xibo, said frankly, "Your Majesty, the eldest princess Wang Yunyan is only 18 years old this year, and she is a girl. I think it is inappropriate to give the important responsibility of commanding the army to a young woman who has no practical experience."

At this time, the ministers around the hall were also talking about it. Except for the national teacher Li Qi and Beibo Hou Gong Hu, almost all the ministers were skeptical and opposed to the emperor's enthronement. Everyone felt that what Xibo Hou Wu Kui said made a lot of sense.

Several princes also stood up, hoping that the emperor would take back his decision. The crown prince Wang Shangyang, who was sitting to the lower left of the emperor, looked calm. Although he also felt that the power was too great, he thought that it was given to the eldest princess Wang Yunyan, and Wang Yunyan was his biological sister, which would be of great benefit to him when he became the crown prince in the future.

Although Dongbo Hou Lu Zixiong and Nanbo Hou Lu Zilong were also skeptical in their hearts, they did not say a word. They were brothers. Dongbo Hou Lu Zixiong was the biological father of Queen Lu, and the grandfather of Princess Wang Yunyan. If the total military power was given to Wang Yunyan, their family would be more powerful, and Xibo Hou Wu Kui's military power would be weakened a lot.

Although the Shenghe Hall was a scene of prosperity, dancing, and drinking, an intricate power struggle was secretly surging.

The emperor had predicted this situation long ago. He stroked his beard and smiled slightly. "My dear ministers, please be patient. According to the decree of our Huaxia Dynasty, whoever can quell the Nuxiong Rebellion will be given a title of general or a title of marquis. This is the rule set when the country was founded. Princess Wang Yunyan not only quelled the Nuxiong Rebellion, but also captured Nuxiong King Duoyerhan and the eldest prince Duoyerhao alive, making a huge contribution to our Huaxia. Our Huaxia way of employing people is that the capable ones are given the upper hand. Although the princess is a woman, she has done what none of you here have done. This power is well deserved!"

Faced with the military achievements, many ministers were speechless.

Wu Kui, Marquis of Xibo, spoke again: "Your Majesty, I have a doubt that I am wondering whether I should speak up or not?"

"Please speak, my dear minister!" said the emperor confidently.

"I have governed the Western Territory for decades and have witnessed many wizards' illusions. These illusions can create hallucinations in people for a short period of time, but they will not last long and will return to their original state. I believe that there are no dragons in this world. Those so-called gods are just using illusions to make people lose their minds for a short period of time." Wu Kui, the Marquis of Xibo, looked at Long Siqi again with a hostile look.

“I have invited Master Sargai to come with us today, and he is waiting outside the palace now. Why don’t we let Master Sargai demonstrate his magical powers to everyone, and also ask Princess Long Siqi for some guidance!” Wu Kui began to sound aggressive.

"What Lord Xibo said makes sense. Although Princess Long Siqi used her divine power to help the eldest princess defeat the Huns, we have only heard about it and have not seen it with our own eyes. Today, all the important officials of the court are gathered together, so why not let us all broaden our horizons!" The Fourth Prince also echoed.

The emperor turned around and glanced at Long Siqi, only to see that she was leisurely sipping tea, still looking calm and composed.

The emperor nodded to his ministers: "Approved!"

The chief eunuch Lu Qianqiu then walked to the front of the hall and delivered the imperial decree: "Call! Grand Master Sargei enter the hall!"

Master Sargei was wearing a gorgeous robe, which was shining with some strange light, as if it contained magic power. He held a staff inlaid with green gems, and the gems on the staff were shining with a faint green light, which was a bit weird. He had silver hair and a silver beard, but there were no wrinkles on his face. His eyes were clear and bright. He was a person with high cultivation and was considered a leader among human practitioners.

He walked to the center of the hall with light and steady steps, knelt on one knee, and said in a low and powerful voice: "Practitioner Sargei, I pay my respects to the emperor!"

"Stand up!" The emperor looked at him with a smile, "Master, start your performance!" In fact, the emperor also wanted to see how capable these talented people recruited by King Xibo were.

When Sarge looked up at the throne above the hall, he was shocked. Like Li Qi, the national master, Sarge had also opened his third eye, and his power was higher than Li Qi's. He could see what Li Qi could see. He saw a beautiful woman who looked like a fairy sitting on the throne and drinking tea. She was emitting golden light, and a dragon shadow was wandering in the light. She didn't even bother to pay attention to the people in the hall.

Sargei has lived to such an old age, what kind of monsters and demons in the world has he not seen? Is this person in front of him a wizard? A demon? Or a ghost? This is really the first time he has seen this in his life. He thinks that this woman must have used a very powerful illusion, so he concentrated his energy, held his breath and concentrated his energy... When he looked at Long Siqi again, the scene in front of him was still the same as before. Sargei had also seen records of the dragon in ancient books, but he did not see it with his own eyes that day when the dragon appeared in the Temple of Heaven, so he did not believe that Long Siqi was the dragon god recorded in the ancient books. He felt that the woman in front of him was also a powerful practitioner, and thought to himself that today's battle should not be underestimated, and he would go all out.

"Master Sargei, the emperor is waiting to see you perform magic!" Wu Kui, the Marquis of Xibo, reminded him impatiently.

Sargei stood up, holding the staff in his hand, and began to chant, as if communicating with heaven and earth. As he chanted, the air in the hall gradually became heavy, as if an invisible force was gathering.

Suddenly, a breeze blew quietly, gently brushing the faces of the emperor and his ministers. Many people looked at Sargei in surprise, their eyes full of awe and curiosity. Sargei smiled and continued to chant the spell. The wind gradually grew stronger and began to swirl in the hall, lifting everyone's robes. The crystal chandeliers in the hall were jingling in the wind. Clouds began to gather over the Shenghe Hall, the sun was gradually obscured, and the whole sky became gloomy. Then, Sargei raised his staff, turned around and pointed at the sky outside the hall. A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a dull thunder, and suddenly there was a strong wind and heavy rain.

The emperor and his ministers watched all this in amazement. Everyone was shocked by Sargei's magical powers. A smug look appeared on Wu Kui, the Marquis of Xibo.

In the entire hall, only the Imperial Master Li Qi and the eldest princess Wang Yunyan had calm expressions on their faces, because they both knew very well how powerful the dragon's magic power was.

The emperor stood up. He felt that the Sargei in front of him was not simple and he began to feel a little worried. He turned to look at Long Siqi and saw that she was still sipping tea leisurely.
