After traveling through time, I was spotted by the new emperor
Chapter 71 Entering Taiji Palace to Take Charge
There were not many people who entered the Taiji Hall with Qi Wushuang, only a dozen people including Chu Fuchi, Ye Wuwei, Chu Taian, Nie Youren, Lu Zhaozhong, Qi Cheng, and Qi Wu.
When Qi Wushuang and his companions arrived at the Taiji Palace, old ministers including General Qi, Grand Tutor Zhuang, and Prime Minister Yuwen were all there.
The three princes and Qi Yushen were also there.
Stepping into the Tai Chi Hall again, Ye Wuwei couldn't help but feel emotional.
Last time, he assassinated the emperor here on his own initiative. Today, he entered here as a minister of the new emperor.
Ye Wuwei couldn't think of it at this time:
In the near future, not only will he be able to enter and exit the Taiji Hall, but there will be no place in the entire palace that he cannot enter and exit.
Even Qi Wushuang's bedroom was open to him at any time!
Chu Fuchi read out the late emperor's will again.
This time, without waiting for Qi Wushuang to say anything, everyone in the Taiji Hall knelt down and shouted to Qi Wushuang, "Long live His Majesty."
The assassination attempt on Qi Wushuang by the Yuwen clan yesterday was no longer a secret. Nearly half of the hundreds of secretly trained warriors died, while only a dozen people on Qi Wushuang's side were injured, and no one was seriously injured or died.
This was even after hundreds of people fired thousands of crossbow arrows!
And this was when Qi Wushuang only had more than 200 people around him at the time!
This was even without Qi Wushuang and the others using "bombs" or "grenades"!
With such terrifying combat power, even if there are only 30,000 Qi Wushuang troops in Changdu City now, who would dare to move?
Some ministers couldn't help but look at the Third Prince and Prime Minister Yuwen. The Third Prince had a gloomy look on his face, but Prime Minister Yuwen could see something on his face.
It is naturally impossible for Prime Minister Yuwen to be as calm as he appears.
After listening to the reports from the survivors yesterday, Prime Minister Yuwen almost fainted from a heart attack.
Before the operation, Prime Minister Yuwen did not really think that he could kill Qi Wushuang with just a few hundred people. He just wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill Ye Wuwei so that Qi Wushuang would have no bombs or grenades to use in the future.
By the way, give Qi Wushuang a warning.
But Prime Minister Yuwen did not expect that the warriors he thought were elite would be so vulnerable in the face of Qi Wushuang's black-armored army.
Not to mention killing Ye Wuwei, Ye Wuwei killed many of them instead.
According to those who returned:
Ye Wuwei is like a murderous devil, killing one person with one blow.
Their people couldn't even get close to Qi Wushuang, which resulted in Qi Wu, the best master beside Qi Wushuang, not taking any action and always protecting Qi Wushuang.
How could this be a show of force for Qi Wushuang? Instead, it became a chance for Qi Wushuang to show his power to the Changdu family!
Like this...like this...
How could Prime Minister Yuwen not have a heart attack!
Not only did Prime Minister Yuwen suffer a heart attack, but Grand Tutor Zhuang was not in a good mood either.
Master Zhuang had long known that Prime Minister Yuwen had sent assassins to kill Qi Wushuang, but he did nothing.
He wanted to see how strong Qi Wushuang was.
But the result made him very dissatisfied!
The Zhuang family also has well-trained warriors. Although it is not known which one is better than the warriors of the Yuwen family yesterday, Master Zhuang feels depressed when he thinks about the casualties among Qi Wushuang's men.
How could he shoot thousands of crossbow arrows and only injure a dozen people?
How could it be that no one from the Black Armor Army died while two hundred people from the Yuwen clan died?
Even if the warriors of the Zhuang family are stronger than those of the Yuwen family, the result will not be much better when facing the Black Armor Army.
No wonder the emperor’s previous assassination attempts on Qi Wushuang failed, it turned out that the Black Armor Army was too powerful!
In this way, how could the Zhuang family have any chance to compete with Qi Wushuang for the world?
Not only is he unable to compete with Qi Wushuang for the world, but I'm afraid that the Zhuang family will be slowly eroded and devoured by Qi Wushuang.
With such thoughts in mind, Master Zhuang's expression became even uglier than that of Prime Minister Yuwen.
If not everyone in the palace knew that yesterday's assassin was sent by Prime Minister Yuwen, just by looking at the expression on Grand Tutor Zhuang's face, everyone would have thought that the assassination of Qi Wushuang was done by Grand Tutor Zhuang.
Although everyone in the hall knew that Qi Wushuang had been assassinated yesterday, no one mentioned it.
Qi Wushuang didn't mention it either.
The most important thing now is stability, not the time to deal with the Yuwen clan.
Qi Wushuang sat on the dragon throne and looked at the people in the hall. He was not too moved by the thought of becoming the emperor.
Qi Wushuang spoke:
"The first thing I did after entering Taiji Palace was to confer rewards, but the titles I was awarded would not be officially granted until after the coronation ceremony."
Afterwards, Qi Wushuang asked Xiao Dengzi to read out the first imperial edict since he came to power.
The three princes were respectively granted the titles of Prince of Ren, Prince of Yi and Prince of Li, but they only enjoyed a salary above the second rank and had no fiefdom.
As for the Prince's Mansion, it is the prince's mansion where they currently live.
In addition to the three princes, the great general of Chu was also granted the title of Prince of Chu and the fiefdom of Yingdu.
General Chu was conferred the title of Prince of Chu, so Chu Fuchi naturally became the Crown Prince of Chu.
Apart from these, only Qi Wushuang and fourteen generals under the Prince of Chu were granted titles.
The commander-in-chief Yuchi Yan and Fang Congrong were granted the title of first-rank Duke of a county.
Deputy Governor-General Zhang Dinggong and Chen Yanchi were granted the title of lower-rank county duke of the first rank.
Three people including Chief Assistant Commander Nie Youren were granted the title of second-rank county marquis.
Deputy Chief of Staff Lu Zhaozhong and six others were conferred the title of third-rank county earl.
The Chief Commandant Ye Wuwei was granted the title of third-rank county earl.
In addition to the generals mentioned above, even Qi Cheng and Qi Wu, who had followed Qi Wushuang since childhood, were not awarded titles.
This is the new title bestowed upon Qi Wushuang upon his ascension to the throne, and his previous title remains unchanged.
For example, General Qi, Grand Tutor Zhuang, and Prime Minister Yuwen are still Duke Zhenguo, Duke Fuguo, and Duke Dingguo, and the other titles remain the same.
Qi Wushuang's award of a title did not surprise the officials in the palace. They were just puzzled as to why he was only awarded a title and not an official position.
However, at this time, the officials still thought that the official position would be mentioned in another imperial edict.
Although they wondered why Qi Wushuang wanted to issue two imperial edicts, no one raised any objections at this time.
The officials may not object, but the princes may not.
As soon as the imperial edict was read, Qi Yuye, the former second prince and newly appointed Prince of Yi, jumped out and asked, "Why don't I have any fiefdom?"
Qi Wushuang stopped Qi Yuye with one sentence: "I don't want to give it."
The officials in the palace looked at each other in bewilderment: "The new king is so bold!" (He speaks so directly)
But at this time, no official wanted to offend Qi Wushuang.
Master Zhuang hinted at an official who was attached to the Zhuang family. The official stepped forward and said:
"Since the three princes have been granted the title of prince, they should be granted fiefdoms."
"Which law in the Qi Dynasty stipulates that a prince must be granted fiefdom?"
After saying this, Qi Wushuang did not forget to ask Qi Taiwei:
"Duke Zhenguo, you are the head of the Qi family. Does the Qi Dynasty have laws that stipulate that a prince must be granted fiefdoms?"
General Qi thought for a moment and said, “Although there is no legal provision, the princes of the counties in the past were all granted fiefdoms.”
“So, that’s the rule.
Since this is the rule, then I will follow my rules when I ascend the throne. What's wrong with that?"
What a domineering statement!
However, this sentence also gave the officials a rough idea of Qi Wushuang's style: domineering!
