Chapter 407: The Master of the Wulin Palace
Cui You soon understood.
It is impossible for the princess to ask all her guests to come and join the Wulin Palace. It is enough to choose the right few.
Judging from the information I received, this first guest minister is almost one of the unofficial hall masters.
The goal of the second guest minister and the third guest minister is definitely to seize the position of deputy hall leader. Of course, the strength of the third guest minister may be a bit reluctant.
Because there are definitely not many deputy hall masters, Cui You thinks there may even be only four deputy hall masters.
The goal of other guest ministers is to protect the Dharma. Since the deputy hall leader has been added, the number of Dharma protectors will increase accordingly.
Originally, according to the princess's initial inference, if you want to get the position of protector, you have to be among the top five Keqing in terms of strength. Logically speaking, the seven of them have little chance. But now that there are more protectors, the requirements for skill will be lowered accordingly.
Even so, if these seven guest ministers want to compete for the position of protector, they may be wiped out.
The princess mainly looks at the first three guests.
The first guest minister is guaranteed to be the hall leader, the second guest minister is still possible to be the deputy hall master, and the third guest minister should also try his best to get a deputy hall master position. As for the position of the protector, it should be stable.
Cui You could see the princess's intentions as soon as he looked at these people.
The strength of these people cannot be hidden from Cui You, so it is not difficult to discern the princess's intentions.
There are ten guests on the princess's side, and the number of guards is slightly larger. There are fifty guards joining the Wulin Palace.
The target of these guards is definitely the envoy. As for the steward, the princess probably doesn't like it.
There are sixty masters joining the Princess Mansion alone. Counting the strength of other major forces, the possibility of people in the world trying to win some positions is very small.
Cui You had thought about this before.
There are a lot of people in the arena participating, but the really important positions are basically not their turn, and are all controlled by a few big forces.
For example, the positions of these four hall masters have already been decided.
As for some other positions, there must be some inside stories, and there must be some mutual compromises between the major forces.
Therefore, there are very few positions left for other people in the world.
"I heard that the princess wants him to compete for the position of envoy. She really thinks highly of him, right?"
"Don't say that. He still has a chance now. After all, the number of messengers has also increased."
"I said before, based on the initial number of people he got, he can only compete for a steward, right? He has obtained two secrets of martial arts, and only has so little strength. It is really a waste of natural resources."
…
Cui You still heard the whispers of some of the guards around him.
They seemed to be communicating secretly in private, but in fact they just wanted to be heard.
With his own strength, and in such a close situation, he couldn't hide such whispers, no matter how low his voice was.
Of course, they had no intention of hiding it from themselves.
I just want to humiliate myself through such means.
It's a pity that they don't know that they don't pay attention to them at all, and they don't pay attention to them at all.
These guys have been in the princess mansion for a long time, and they are used to being aloof and look down on others. It's really ridiculous.
The princess's motorcade soon entered the central area of the arena, and finally she took Xia Xinyue to a specially built high platform in the arena.
Xia Xinyue was not able to sit next to the princess this time. After all, it was not just the princess here, but also other people.
For example, Jiang Mingsi was also present in person.
He and Princess Anping sat in the middle seat.
Xia Xinyue was able to sit on the stage because of Princess Anping's relationship. The position was very remote. Even so, it was not easy, otherwise there would be no place for her here.
"When the princess arrives, all the people are here." Cui Mingzhi, the head of the Cui family, said with a smile.
He sat next to Princess Anping, and other heads of families lined up in sequence.
Except for the Xia family, the other four families are basically led by the Cui family when dealing with the outside world.
Next to Jiang Mingsi was a Taoist priest with white hair and white beard, followed by an old monk.
These are Master Xuanyang of Longhu Mountain and Master Jiwu of Hinayana Temple.
Such a seat does not mean that Master Xuanyang has a higher status than Master Jiwu. In fact, the two are about the same strength and have the same seniority.
It's just that Master Xuanyang is several years older than Master Jiwu. The elder is given priority, so he has such a position.
Those who lined up behind Master Ji Wu were naturally some masters from famous sects in the world.
There were a lot of people on the stage, nearly a hundred people were seated.
The establishment of the Wulin Palace was taken seriously by everyone, whether it was the imperial court or the Jianghu.
But there are no people from the Five Gods Sect here.
It seems that the Five Gods Sect really doesn't care about the Wulin Palace.
"Then let's wait for the imperial edict?" Jiang Mingsi said.
They don't know the specific personnel structure and number of people in the Wulin Palace now. Everything is subject to the imperial edict.
After waiting for half an hour, there was finally movement in the direction of Luoyang City.
I saw a group of people approaching, obviously the guards of the imperial city.
A eunuch held the imperial edict in one hand and stepped onto the high platform.
Everyone stood up in a hurry.
"Everyone, are you ready?" the eunuch who announced the decree asked after taking a look at everyone, and finally fell on Princess Anping and Jiang Mingsi.
"Just wait until the father-in-law reads out the imperial decree." Jiang Mingsi said.
The eunuch who announced the decree saw Princess Anping nodded slightly.
Jiang Mingsi and Princess Anping were both fine, so he turned and walked towards the high platform.
The hundreds of thousands of people below saw this scene and immediately fell silent.
"Declaration!"
Upon hearing this, the people below immediately knelt down.
Those in the arena reluctantly knelt down on one knee.
Of course, there are also some people who stand. These people generally think that they are powerful and don't care about this.
But those who wanted to enter the Wulin Hall knelt down on one knee, even if they were reluctant in their hearts.
"By God's blessing..." The eunuch who announced the edict quickly finished reading the edict, bowed to Jiang Mingsi and Princess Anping, and left.
Just now he was holding the imperial edict and naturally could not salute the two of them. After reading it out, he did not dare to be disrespectful to the two of them.
It wasn't until the eunuch stepped off the platform that Princess Anping and Jiang Mingsi came back to their senses.
The content of the imperial edict just now is really shocking and unexpected.
Everyone is guessing who will be the master of the Wulin Hall.
There is a lot of discussion in the city about the candidate for the palace master, and there are at least a dozen candidates.
There are princes, nobles, generals, and even some masters in the palace.
It stands to reason that the master of the Wulin Hall should be chosen from among these people, and everyone agrees with this.
But as soon as the imperial edict came out, everyone realized that this palace master was not one of these people at all.
"Father?" Xia Xinyue felt a little dizzy and her head kept buzzing.
