Chapter 1668: Provoking the Regent

There was silence in the political hall, and everyone was caught off guard by what Shi Xuanji suddenly threw out.

After a moment of silence, Prime Minister Situ Wenzhong suddenly winked at an official.

The official understood the situation and immediately stood up and said: "Queen, I thought the matter of the Holy Tree of Heaven was too urgent."

"Actually, we all know that although Beiyu Mingzun is also a member of the Holy Tree Royal Family, his relationship with our Holy Tree Fairy Kingdom is not very good."

"If we send people to the Northern Territory now, I am afraid that not only will we not be able to reshape the Holy Tree of Heaven, but we may also be made difficult by the Mingzun of the Northern Territory."

"So Wei Chen suggested that we should consider the matter of reshaping the Holy Tree of Heaven in the long term. We'd better come up with a way to get the Northern Territory Mingzun to take the initiative to help us reshape the Holy Tree of Heaven."

How to get Northern Territory Mingzun to take the initiative to help?

This sounds nice, but it actually means rejection.

After all, no one present dared to say that they had a way to get Beiyu Mingzun to help, not even at a huge cost.

"Why!"

Shi Xuanji sighed and looked at the prince in her arms: "I am just a woman, and I can't make any great sense."

"I am just pitying the prince. He is so young and has not taken the holy fruit of heaven. How can he stimulate his natural talents in the future?"

"Taking the Holy Fruit of Heaven to stimulate your innate supernatural powers is a rule set by the ancestors of the Holy Tree Royal Family. If there were no Holy Tree of Heaven, wouldn't we have to break the old rules?"

"In that case, after we die in the future, how can we have the face to meet the ancestors of the Holy Tree Fairy Kingdom?"

"besides……"

Shi Xuanji looked around the ministers with soft eyes: "According to the rules of the Holy Tree Royal Family, anyone who contributes to the court can obtain the Holy Fruit of Heaven."

"After you get the Holy Fruit of Heaven, you can use it for yourself, or you can use it to bless future generations."

"But if there is no Sacred Tree of Heavenly Dao, this rule will probably be broken."

"My lords, you should all have descendants of the right age in your family. It's time to take the Holy Fruit of Heaven."

"Even some adults themselves may not have activated their innate supernatural powers. A large part of the reason why you have made meritorious service to the court over the years is to obtain the Holy Fruit of Heaven, right?"

"If we can't get Beiyu Ming to respect the Holy Fruit of Heavenly Dao, in the future you, and more and more of your descendants, will have no chance to activate their innate magical powers."

"Don't you even care?"

Shi Xuanji gently touched the little face of the prince's sacred tree snow dragon: "Anyway, I don't want the prince to miss such a great opportunity."

"It's a pity that I belong to a womanly family. In recent years, I rarely go out to the Prince's Mansion and the Imperial Palace. There is no way to convince the Northern Territory Mingzun. Otherwise, I would be willing to go to the Northern Territory in person."

"My lords, please try your best to think of a solution, otherwise not only the prince, but also too many heroes and descendants of our Holy Tree Fairy Kingdom will miss this huge opportunity."

After Shi Xuanji finished speaking, there was a buzz of discussion in the political hall.

If you don't stab yourself with a knife, you will never know the pain.

Previously, Shi Xuanji said that rebuilding the Holy Tree of Heaven was related to the reputation of the Holy Tree Fairy Kingdom.

What is reputation?

Is it valuable?

Even if it is valuable, it is not the reputation of one's own family, but the reputation of the entire Holy Tree Fairy Kingdom. Of course the ministers will not care.

But it's different now.

Shi Xuanji was right. According to the rules of the Holy Tree Fairy Kingdom, anyone who has made great contributions to the court can obtain the Holy Fruit of Heaven, or seek the Holy Fruit of Heaven for their descendants.

But if we don’t reshape the Holy Tree of Heaven, where can we get the Holy Fruit of Heaven?

Some officials have been accumulating merit for many years. As a result, when they have almost accumulated merit, the Holy Fruit of Heaven suddenly disappears. How can they accept this?

Some officials are worrying about their own juniors.

Some of the younger generations in their family are extremely talented, and they are just waiting for the opportunity to take the Holy Fruit of Heaven to stimulate their innate magical powers.

But now that there is no Sacred Tree of Heavenly Dao, wouldn't their descendants miss a great opportunity? How can they compete with other geniuses in the future?

There are also some officials whose juniors are ineffective and spend their days outside chasing cats and dogs, accomplishing nothing.

The original idea of ​​the officials was to obtain the Holy Fruit of Heaven from the imperial court so that their incompetent descendants would have more ability to protect themselves in the future.

As a result, now that the Holy Tree of Heaven is gone, wouldn't their descendants be completely useless?

When the matter involved their own interests, all the officials suddenly couldn't hold themselves high, and the discussion in the political hall became more and more intense.

How to solve this matter?

Logically speaking, the queen is responsible for supervising the country, so she should resolve this matter.

But everyone knows that this queen was pushed out to be a puppet. How can she persuade the Northern Territory Mingzun if she has no power?

Sleepwear?

As for the prince...

Everyone looked at Shi Xuanji's arms and shook their heads.

Forget it, this one is not as tall as my thighs, so don’t think about it.

So gradually, more and more officials turned their attention to the four auxiliary ministers.

Why did they each seek refuge with the auxiliary minister?

loyalty?

No one would believe that thing!

What they do is not all for their own interests.

We have taken refuge in you and elected you as the auxiliary minister so that you can hold power in the court. You should bring us benefits.

Now that our interests have been damaged, shouldn't you, the leading auxiliary ministers, solve it for us?

Facing the burning gazes of all the ministers, the four regents were on pins and needles.

They did not expect that things would turn out like this.

They had just become regents, and they had just gotten into such a difficult situation.

This was not the interest of an individual.

If it was only about the interests of a few officials under them, they could naturally ask them to put the overall situation first and not worry about personal gains and losses.

If the other party was really unreasonable, they would not care even if they abandoned or killed him.

But the problem was that the reconstruction of the Holy Tree of Heavenly Dao was now related to the interests of all officials.

Could they still let all their officials put the overall situation first?

In that case, they would probably be put in the overall situation first.

So at this moment, the four regents understood that they could no longer oppose going to the Northern Territory to rebuild the Holy Tree of Heavenly Dao.

At least they could not oppose it openly.

Or a better way would be to push the responsibility onto others.

Thinking of this, Prime Minister Situ Wenzhong suddenly turned his gaze to the Imperial Master.

General Qin Mu and King Kang Shengshu Longyu also reacted quickly and looked over immediately.

The Imperial Master thought it was not good and was about to say something.

But General Qin Mu spoke first: "Everyone, if I remember correctly, although the control of the Heavenly Dao Holy Tree has always been in the hands of the emperor, it has always been enshrined in the Sitianjian when it is not in use, right?"
