Chapter 144: The Princess Protecting the Nation
Isn't it good to have a peaceful and prosperous country? Do you have to force brothers to fight and waste each other in order to prove your strength?
The court officials, moved by the brotherhood, also calmed down.
Many people are really afraid that after the next year's Enke, there will be too many new ministers entering the court. What power advantages will they have?
They are afraid that the prince brothers' camp, which has no shortage of talent, will liquidate them, so no one dares to act rashly. Instead, they have to perform to prove their worth.
The government was officially stabilized.
Xiao Beichen went to court today, but did not discuss any political affairs. He said that the crown prince was regent and all political affairs were handed over to the crown prince. He went to court only to announce a few things.
The first thing is that Yun Xuantang of Qingfeng Temple can cure the old illness of the Prince of Pingguo. According to the rules of Tianji Pavilion, the consultation fee is 300,000 taels, which is not expensive and is a reward!
The second thing is that Yun Xuantang of Qingfeng Temple will spread merits in the Luotian Grand Ceremony to prosper the country, pray for heaven's will, and protect people's livelihood in February of next year. She is now conferred the title of Princess Protector of the Country.
The third thing is that starting from today, for three consecutive days, Yun Xuantang, the newly appointed Princess Protector of the Nation, will preside over a blessing ceremony at Yunshang Temple. If you don't have any important matters to attend to, you can go and have a look. As long as you have a sincere heart to worship Taoism, you may be able to benefit from it. If you don't have Taoism in your heart, don't go, lest you shorten your life.
After Xiao Beichen said these three things, he announced his retirement from court.
The court was already shocked by the words spoken by the emperor himself!
The fact that the Duke Ping's mansion had exchanged 300,000 taels of silver for the betrothal gift had already been spread throughout the city by the Duke Ping's wife, so it was no big deal.
But Yuntang was named the eldest princess, and the eldest princess who protected the country, which could be said to be above all other princesses.
Is it really appropriate to bestow such an honorable title on a thirteen-year-old girl without royal blood... no, on a little Taoist priest?
There were more than a dozen third-rank ministers and most of the fourth-rank censors who wanted to report to the emperor and remind him not to do this.
The royal princes and dukes of several generations who came to court today were stunned for a long time and did not say a word.
Prince Cheng went to the palace yesterday and talked to the emperor about many things. The emperor only said that he would handle the matter and then let Prince Cheng leave the palace.
At this time, Prince Cheng also had a dazed look on his face. Is this the way the emperor wanted to deal with it?
The daughter of Princess Kangning, the granddaughter of Prince Cheng, and the niece of Prince Chenghe, Lady Pingguo could still insist on making a scene and threatening to marry her, but...
The Emperor personally appointed the Princess Protector of the Nation, and the wife of the Duke of Ping still dared to make trouble? I'm afraid that even ten Dukes of Ping wouldn't be enough to make the same bold statement as yesterday.
The Princess Protector of the Country is now on equal footing with the old King Cheng.
Marquis Yong'an was also dumbfounded. He went to Prince Cheng's palace yesterday and was in no hurry to cancel the engagement.
However, he also sent Butler Hu and Mrs. Ge, who was by the old lady's side, to go to the Duke Ping's Mansion to mention the cancellation of the engagement.
He expressed his sincerity in an amicable manner and did not directly deliver the betrothal gift he had offered that year, which also gave Lady Pingguo Duke's wife room to ease the situation.
Unexpectedly, the wife of Duke Pingguo did not express her opinion at that time, and later spread the matter of the real and fake daughter in the capital, threatening that their family would marry the real daughter, otherwise it would be the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion that was treacherous.
However, the matter of the three hundred thousand taels had long been no secret in the capital.
For a time, some people cursed the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, while others cursed the Pingguo Duke's Mansion, and neither side gained a good reputation.
Who would have thought that at the morning court today, the emperor would suddenly issue an edict to confer the title of Princess Protector of the Country on Yuntang?
One must have made great contributions and brought much welfare to the people to obtain this title!
Even if a non-royal woman had done great deeds or brought benefits to a region, it would be extremely honorable to be given the title of a county lady, a village mistress, or a county lady.
If she gets married, she can be granted the title of a first-rank lady. At the very least, a third-rank lady would be enough.
Can this princess who protects the country be conferred the title?
However, among the three generations before and after the emperor, there was no Duke of Protector of the Country in the history of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The emperor conferred the title of Protector of the Country on a princess, which also means that there will no longer be a Protector of the Country title in the future. Or maybe a Protector of the Country Duke will be born from the descendants of the Protector of the Country Princess...
But at the moment, some people are at a loss, some are puzzled, some are worried and want to stop it, and some people think that such a great honor should not be bestowed on a small Taoist priest, and that the emperor's move is too frivolous.
However, Xiao Beichen had already stood up from the dragon throne, looking down at the civil and military officials in the court, and said in a sonorous tone: "You guys teach me how to do things?"
"I dare not..." The ministers who came forward to advise him knelt down in fear.
Seeing that many court officials still had angry and unwilling eyes, Xiao Beichen glanced at the dragon pillar beside the palace...
Xiao Beichen raised his voice a little: "The merits and virtues that Taoist practitioners have done for the benefit of the people and the happiness of the world are beyond the imagination of you mortals!"
"If you still want to threaten me with death!"
"Go back and count the number of heads of your three tribes first. If you dare to seek death today or in the next three days and disrupt the blessing ceremony of Yunshang Temple, I will kill you three tribes and will not let you live for the New Year!"
Xiao Beichen's words, showing no fear of the court officials' threats of death, immediately gave up the thoughts of those court officials who did have such intentions.
They are not afraid of death, and they can even die to gain a good reputation after death, but...
There are at least a dozen people in their family, young and old, and at most dozens of people. How can they afford to die?
What’s more, the emperor wants to execute three clans! Three clans!!!
Marquis Yong'an suppressed his pride at seeing his daughter receiving such an honor. But then he remembered that his daughter was given the title of the eldest princess, and he immediately became worried.
This generation is a mess!
Although they had long known that their daughter was favored by the emperor, and that the princes and princesses all called her "Little Master Uncle", they had always thought that this was a relationship she had gained by virtue of the emperor's devotion to Taoism.
But the one being conferred today was not a princess but an eldest princess, which openly declared that they were of the same generation.
Prince Cheng is the uncle, and Princess Kangning is of the same generation as the emperor.
Marquis Yong'an wanted to remind the emperor of this matter, but the emperor had already turned away from the palace, completely ignoring the discussions in the court.
"Father-in-law, what should we do?" Yong'an Hou could only find King Cheng and quietly remind him, "The generations are messed up."
"Perhaps, the emperor did it on purpose..." Prince Chenghe also came over and lowered his voice.
"Tang'er is presiding over the blessing ceremony, I want to go and take a look!" Suddenly, Prince Chenghe exclaimed in surprise.
He left the Wuying Palace with a sentence "Father, you have to go quickly, or go tomorrow" and ran out.
Other court officials also reacted.
The Emperor made this announcement specifically as the third matter, and he made it very clear.
If you have nothing to do there, but have a sincere heart for Taoism, perhaps you may be able to gain some light. If you have no Tao in your heart, don't go, or you may shorten your life.
But they were so shocked by the second thing that they put the matter aside for a while.
How capable is this little Taoist priest who can be canonized as the Princess Protector of the Nation? Why not go and take a look?
So more people ran out.
"Father-in-law, why don't you go tomorrow?" Marquis Yong'an clasped his fists and bowed, then hurried away.
King Cheng looked at his son and son-in-law who had run away and was so angry that he almost spat. They all ran away. Did they think he was old and had weak legs?
At this time, there were more and more pedestrians on the official road from the south of the city to Panlongling, including Xiao Ye and a group of young people.
