    Chapter 1037 Dragon Chair Tai Chi Hall Yang Qinyan, the eldest princess of the Sui Dynasty, sat on the high platform, her face covered with a gauze scarf.  Naturally, she couldn't sit on the dragon chair, so she added a seat next to the dragon chair.  She also cannot show her face to others because she is a woman.  In any case, the Sui Dynasty had not yet been destroyed, and everyone in the court was still an official of the Sui Dynasty.  Therefore, these people below always brought out the so-called rules and etiquette of the Sui Dynasty, but Yang Qinyan had no choice but to cover her face and sit on a step below the right side of the dragon chair.  Because the steps are very narrow, there is no way to place a chair, only a bench.  Even so, the width of the stool is almost the same as the steps, and the two stool legs on the outside are almost half-dangling. If you are not careful, the stool and the person may fall from the high platform.  Even so, the courtiers below were still talking about it.  "The Sui Dynasty was reduced to the point where a woman sat in the court, alas!" An old guy with a white beard lamented: "According to the rules established by Emperor Taizu, people in the harem are not allowed to participate in politics.  So even when the new emperor ascended the throne at a young age, the Queen Mother sat behind a screen and listened to the government. Now it would be better to let a woman sit on the side of the throne. " His expression was sad and angry, and it looked like he might be angry in the next second.  He couldn't bear to see it, so he killed himself and served the late emperor.  Others echoed: "Since ancient times, where has the princess listened to the government? The new emperor is young, and there is a precedent for the queen mother to listen to the government before. However, most of the decisions of the government are coordinated by the assistant ministers and staff, and then the decree is given to the new emperor.  The Queen Mother just wanted to see if there was anything wrong and give her some advice. Now, the civil and military officials of the whole court are looking at a woman This is simply a shame and a shame!  Stomping his feet and beating his chest, he spoke: "If there are no rules in the Sui Dynasty, there will be chaos. There is some chaos down there, and we can send troops to quell the rebellion. If the rules are gone, how can we calm down the chaos?"  Standing at the front of the queue of civil servants was Niu Huilun, a scholar who came with the Black Flag Army. He could not help but sneer but said nothing.  On the high platform, Yang Qinyan¡¯s face turned pale and ugly.  Those people below were clearly bullying her, because she was the only one left in the Yang family, and now it was the Black Flag Army who was calling the shots in Chang'an City.  Those people thought she was just a puppet created by Fang Jie, and naturally had no respect for her.  Now these people are waiting for the moment to depose her, and then serve as the consolidated ministers to welcome Li Fangjie to the throne and proclaim himself emperor.  These people are the best at digging into camps. They all think that Fang Jie will proclaim himself emperor soon after entering the city, so there is no need to show respect to Yang Qinyan.  Many people are talking privately that Yang Qinyan is now even an obstacle to Fang Jie's claim to be emperor.  If she is not abolished, Fang Jie's proclaimed emperor will be somewhat unfair.  Therefore, it is natural to understand the courtiers' desire to be the first to make meritorious deeds.  Only by driving the eldest princess out of the court can Fang Jie ascend the throne.  Yang Qinyan bit her lips tightly, tears welling up in her eyes.  But she knew she couldn't cry. If she did, the people below would laugh at her even more.  It has only been a few years, and the Yang family is already worthless in the eyes of these people.  "If I were her, I wouldn't come to Tai Chi Hall at all. A woman must have a woman's consciousness, and sooner or later she will get married. After marrying, she will naturally still be the princess of the Sui Dynasty, but how can she represent the royal family?" Yu  An official in Shitai said with a cold face: "The Duke of Zhen will arrive soon, and I will stand up! This is a major matter involving court etiquette, how can it be trivial? Even if the Duke of Zhen deals with me, I will speak out and impartially.  ! As the imperial envoy of Taidu, my duty is not to turn a deaf ear even if my head bleeds." Several people around him immediately praised his character.  "The Duke of Zhenguo has arrived!" A loud shout rang out from outside the hall, and the hall immediately became quiet.  Everyone turned back to look at the entrance of the hall, only to find that Fang Jie was already standing there at some point.  Wearing a unicorn robe, Fang Jie looked even more imposing and graceful.  Everyone in the hall fell silent when they saw Fang Jie appear, and no one dared to make any more noise.  They stood in an orderly manner, and then bent deeply towards Fang Jie neatly.  Fang Jie walked slowly into the hall. He did not stand where he should be at the head of the ministers. He did not stop. Although he walked slowly but steadily step by step to the bottom of the high platform, he pondered for a moment and then walked up.  steps.  The courtiers in the hall all held their breath, waiting for the scene they wanted to see appear.  At this time, some people even couldn't help but want to run out and kneel on the ground and shout long live.  Fang Jie walked to Yang Qinyan and looked down at her.    Through a layer of gauze, he also saw her red eyes.  "Comer" Fang Jie called out, and more than a dozen riders rushed in from outside.  Fang Jie stretched out his hand to pull Yang Qinyan up, and then kicked the stool away. The stool flew far away and smashed against the wall with a snap.  In such a quiet and empty hall, the snapping sound was so clear that everyone trembled involuntarily, and many people even turned pale in fear.  Fang Jie pointed to the dragon chair and said, "Tear it down." A dozen or so riders were stunned for a moment, then they ran up, struggled to lift the heavy dragon chair, and slowly moved it to the side of the high platform.  Fang Jie turned around and walked out, personally brought a chair and placed it in the center of the high platform. Then he took Yang Qinyan's hand and walked onto the high platform.  Yang Qinyan seems to be a wooden person, a little stupid.  She didn't know what Fang Jie was going to do, but she let him pull her up, and then he sat down on the chair by Fang Jie.  Fang Jie's palm pressed on her shoulder, and the warmth in his palm made her feel warm.  She was at a loss after sitting down, not knowing what to do. Then she saw Fang Jie raise his hand and gently take off the veil covering her face.  At this moment, her body stiffened suddenly, as if the blood in her body had stopped flowing, and even her heartbeat had stopped.  Fang Jie held the veil and walked down slowly from above, then stood up straight and saluted with fists clasped: "I have met Your Highness." "Nono courtesy." Yang Qinyan's hands were trembling, and her voice was also trembling.  Fang Jie turned around, his eyes swept over the faces of the courtiers one by one, and finally rested on the face of the imperial envoy: "You just said you have something to tell me? Even if your head is cut off and bleeding, you can't  Turn a deaf ear, that's good Yan Guan must have such character, I appreciate it. Tell me I'm listening." Everyone turned their attention to Du Yushi, but they saw that his legs were weak and he collapsed.  There it is.  ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ According to the nobility system of the Sui Dynasty, a higher title does not mean a higher official position.  Over the past 200 years since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, there are now many hereditary and irreplaceable princes and princes, but they do not even have official positions.  The generals of the Sixteenth Guards of the Sui Dynasty were basically knighted by the Duke of the country.  But their official positions are all in the third rank of military rank, which is almost the limit of military rank. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????? Except for the first-rank military marshal, who was personally appointed by the emperor to conquer, there were seldom even second-rank military positions in the Sui Dynasty.  Therefore, although Fang Jie is now the Duke of Zhenguo, his military position is still that of a general, a third-rank official.  Among the civil and military officials standing in the court now, there are many who have higher official positions than him.  But there is no doubt that these people can't even breathe in front of Fang Jie.  In the face of strength, the rules are actually nonsense.  Yang Qinyan took a few deep breaths, and then her mood gradually relaxed.  Fang Jie kept looking at her, which made her feel more and more at ease.  The hurt caused to her by those people just now gradually disappeared in Fang Jie's sight.  When she just escaped from Chang'an City, all she wanted to do was restore the Yang family's country.  But now, she suddenly realized that her thinking was still too simple and naive.  If it weren¡¯t for the solution, even if he was sitting on a high platform, he would be just a puppet at the mercy of others.  Those courtiers would not take her seriously at all, and even if they supported her, they would only use her title as the eldest princess.  She couldn't help but think, if there was no solution today, would those people kick her out of her position?  And how can a princess without a strong backer deter these courtiers?  She was a little sad.  Suddenly I started to hate this place.  "There is an important matter for you to discuss in court today." Yang Qinyan calmed down and slowly said: "You all have witnessed the achievements of Duke Zhen Guo Fang Jie against the Sui Dynasty, and there is no need for me to explain them one by one.  List them out. When the country is in crisis, important ministers like Fang Jie are needed to maintain the laws and regulations of the Sui Dynasty and maintain the majesty of the Sui Dynasty. I thought for a long time about how to reward him, but any reward seemed a bit light after thinking for a long time.  If you have any opinions, you can tell me now." When she said these words, her eyes looked at Fang Jie again and again.  But at this time, Fang Jie's eyes drifted outside the hall, and he didn't know what he was looking at.  The old man who was stamping his feet and beating his chest before raised his head and looked at everyone, stepped forward and said loudly: "The Duke of Zhenguo deserves to receive this award, I have no objection!" He spoke first, and many people immediately agreed.  He had been talking about etiquette just now, but now he forgot the Sui Dynasty rule not to grant kings with other names.  It is a rule set by Yang Jian that people in the harem are not allowed to interfere in politics. People with foreign surnames are not allowed toThis is also the rule set by Yang Jian.  So sometimes, the rules are worse than a piece of shit.  "Since you don't have any objections, let's leave the next matter to a few bachelors and officials from the Ministry of Etiquette to prepare. I'm a little tired, so I'll go back and rest first." Yang Qinyan stood up and looked at her eyes as she walked towards the high platform.  Still looking at Fang Jie.  Fang Jie turned around and bowed slightly towards her to salute. Such a polite move was far less rude to Yang Qinyan than Fang Jie's rude move of pulling her up just now.  Now her mind was filled with Fang Jie's actions just now, and her heart was still beating fast when she thought about it.  He pulled her up in front of everyone and kicked the stool away.  He took her hand and walked up to the high platform and asked her to sit on the high platform. She thought of Fang Jie taking off her veil, and her face suddenly started to feel hot. She knew that she must be blushing fiercely at this time, but now she wished she could do something.  It's better to cover your face with something.  She just wants to escape now.  It was no longer because of the contempt and ridicule of the courtiers that she wanted to escape, but because there was something in her heart that she did not dare to face.  After she came down the steps, she struggled to take her eyes away from that person, and then strode away.  When he could no longer be seen, Yang Qinyan let out a long sigh of relief.  "Farewell, Your Highness," Fang explained.  The civil and military officials then bent down and saluted: "Your Majesty."
