I really became a king.

Chapter 320 The Great Court Meeting

On the second day, the sun rose in the east, and the entire Dali Imperial Capital was as bustling as usual. Many people were discussing with great interest the incident last night when more than 200,000 troops from the Riyuetai, Cang Camp, and Shan Camp went out to disarm the Li Camp.

But as to why, no one knows, so all we can talk about is the grand scene of 200,000 troops moving together.

However, most people were just gossiping out of curiosity. The appearance of the demon in the world was so shocking that it was completely blocked.

There is one thing that is even more popular than this one, and that is the grand court meeting that is currently being held.

As a martial arts dynasty, the Dali Dynasty did not hold court meetings every day, and there was no fixed date. Sometimes they were held every day for several days in a row, and sometimes they were not held for a month or even several months.

If there was anything, they would generally choose to submit a memorial or meet with the Emperor of Dali alone.

The same is true for the grand court meetings. There is no fixed date and they are held less frequently than ordinary court meetings. Sometimes they are not held for several years.

And every time a grand court meeting was held, it meant that there were important national policies to be discussed and announced.

"What do you think will be discussed in today's grand court meeting?" A man asked his companions curiously in a restaurant.

"It is said that they are going to confer great rewards on Prince Yi?" someone interrupted.

Today, Jiang Yi, the Prince of Daliyi County, has a very high prestige in the Dali Dynasty. Especially after this trip to the Yinshan Secret Realm, his prestige in the secular world is at its peak.

"There must be a reward, but I don't know how it will be given..." someone at the next table said, but there was an inexplicable sarcasm in his tone.

"Alas, I hope Prince Yi can get over this hurdle..." someone at the table next to him sighed.

The entire restaurant fell into a kind of silence for a while. Over the past three months, the Dali Dynasty seemed calm on the surface, but secretly there were turbulent situations and a storm was brewing.

Ordinary people like them could vaguely sense that the target of this storm was Prince Yi.

"Alas, Prince Yi is too aggressive..." someone else sighed.

Everyone in the restaurant was surprisingly silent, but it was so. Sometimes showing off one's talents might increase one's prestige, but it might also make one the target of public criticism.

For example, the banquet held last night to calm the nerves was really grand in scale. As some "inside stories" were leaked out piecemeal, people also understood the real purpose of Prince Yi's banquet to calm the nerves.

That was to stand up for his sister, and for this purpose he brazenly planned to kill the son of Marquis Ruyang.

The news that Jiang Ning, the eldest aunt of Prince Yi's Mansion, was granted marriage was also a big news some time ago, causing the entire Dali Imperial City to be in an uproar.

Many people therefore felt sorry for Jiang Ning, the unfortunate former princess, because the son of Marquis Ruyang had a very bad reputation and was the kind of person that everyone was afraid to talk about.

But they were obviously worrying too much. The first thing Prince Yi did after returning from the Yinshan Secret Realm was to take care of his sister, and he even held a grand banquet to appease her.

Although the news of the demon's appearance at the banquet was blocked, many people with ulterior motives still realized that the fundamental purpose of this banquet was to kill the son of Marquis Ruyang.

But later he suddenly turned into a human-demon, which made this killing plan legitimate.

Many people therefore learned that one of the weak points of Prince Yi was his sister Jiang Ning, who even did not hesitate to resist the imperial edict of the Emperor of Dali in the most extreme way.

But in the eyes of many people, while Prince Yi became more powerful, he was too emotional and lacked the ability to endure.

"I wonder if our Prince Yi can hold back at today's grand court meeting..." "I hope he can hold back..."

The grand court meeting was about to be held, and the wide square in front of the palace was already filled with people.

The Grand Court Meeting was different from other ordinary court meetings in that it was a public hearing, a bit like a live broadcast, except that it was limited to audio broadcast, and the scope was limited to the entire palace and the square in front of the palace.

Every word spoken at the grand court meeting would be transmitted throughout the entire palace and the large square in front of the palace through a sound amplification formation.

At this time, not only was the square in front of the palace filled with people, but the inner square outside the hearing hall in the palace was also full of people, all of whom were officials of all ranks who had come from all over the Dali Dynasty.

Because of their rank, they were not qualified to enter the Auditorium and could only reserve a spot in the inner square of the palace early in the morning.

The Tingzheng Hall Square covers a vast area of ​​several hundred acres. At this moment, it is already densely packed with people, probably more than 100,000 people.

As for those with lower status and those without official positions, they could only stay in the square outside the palace. The area of ​​this outer square was three or four times that of the inner square, and it was also crowded with hundreds of thousands of people.

Jiang Yi was almost the last one to arrive. When he arrived in front of the palace, he was also shocked by the huge crowd, but he did not show any expression on his face and walked into the palace with a solemn face.

All the eyes of everyone in the outer square were focused on this one person at once.

Jiang Yi showed no signs of stage fright, and walked towards the palace calmly. Not far ahead, a figure stood there quietly, seemingly waiting for him.

"Haha, I originally thought that I was the last to arrive, but I didn't expect that the prince was even later than me." It was Ning Donglai, one of the eight military leaders.

"Hehe, I was kept awake for half the night by some people, so I got up late. I wonder why Mr. Ning was also late? Could it be that he didn't sleep well because of someone's trouble?" Jiang Yi said unhappily.

Ning Donglai showed a look of "anger and grief" and stamped his feet, saying, "Who says it's not? I don't know what sin I committed in my previous life. My daughter and my grandson wanted to run away from home. I didn't allow them to do so. In the end, they turned against me and severed ties with the Ning Mansion... Your Highness, isn't this infuriating?"

Jiang Yi nodded and said, "It's really infuriating. He really is not a good son!"

Ning Donglai's face twitched, and he smiled awkwardly, saying meaningfully: "Your Highness will have to take good care of me in the future, especially my daughter. She is the apple of my eye."

Jiang Yi grinned but didn't say anything. To Ning Dong, it seemed like he agreed silently and an inexplicable smile appeared on his face.

Old fox! Jiang Yi secretly slandered in his heart. After the banquet last night, it was exactly as Ning Wuze said beforehand. He and his aunt really left the Ning Mansion.

Ning Wu Ze moved into a large house that he had purchased in advance, but before that, he sent his aunt directly to Prince Yi's Mansion.

Fortunately, the other party was very sensible and knew that Jiang Yi was too busy to take care of these things, so he obediently moved into the courtyard chosen by Ning Wuzhe.

"It seems that the trick of self-deception is not only used by me, but also by this old man Ning..." Jiang Yi smiled bitterly to himself. He used the method of self-deception to plan the killing of the son of Marquis Ruyang, but the other party used the same method to find a home for his daughter.

"It's windy today. Is your Highness ready? It's better to take shelter for a while..." Ning Donglai suddenly said in a low voice.

Jiang Yi smiled and said, "I would like to find a place to hide, but the wind will not stop even if the tree wants to be still."

Ning Donglai looked at Jiang Yi deeply, nodded, and walked into the palace. Last night, the entire Sun and Moon Terrace camp was brightly lit, and the news that the nine chiefs had gathered had already spread throughout the entire Dali Imperial Capital. I believe that the other party should have a plan to deal with it.
