1712 Out of Court
Zhou Huaijin looked down at the minister, his expression neutral. He took a step back and returned to his chair, indicating that he was willing to listen to what the officer had to say.
The officer was from the Ministry of Personnel and had served the court for many years. Although he had not made any significant contributions, he had also never made any major mistakes. Zhou Huaijin knew everyone present, so he was curious to hear what the officer had to say.
Officer Zheng said briefly, looking very confident.
The old King must have lost his forces. His messenger in the court told him that the King was stabbed to death by Lord Yan.
Then Lord Huai should be the King soon. There should not be any doubt about it.
Everyone in the court was too timid to utter a sound.
Then he would start that directly.
Lord Huai asked the Ministry of Rites to exchange some words, probably for the crowning ceremony. He hoped that his act of initiative would be remembered and acknowledged, perhaps even leading to a promotion in the future.
He said loudly, “Lord Huai, you should have the crowning ceremony as soon as possible.”
“….”
“We need a King.”
Having said that, he stood upright in front of the future King.
Zhou Huaijin frowned after hearing what he said.
Those people disappointed him, always.
The capital was in chaos with monsters invading and people were afraid to leave their homes, and yet all he could think about is the ceremony!
“No need to hurry with the ceremony. We can discuss it later. The priority right now is to deal with the monster invasion. Once that is resolved, we can focus on the ceremony,” said Zhou Huaijin in a cold tone.
Then he got up and said, “Officer of the Ministry of Rites, come with me now.”
That man was startled and confused. He hurried to him.
He had thought that Lord Huai was going to talk about the crowning ceremony, but it seemed that was not what he had assumed. What did he want?
He was very confused.
Back to the hall.
Zhou Huaijin looked sternly at the man, wasting no time. “The Ministry of Architecture and the Ministry of Military are already following General Liu’s orders to deal with the monsters. As for you, there are other matters that require your attention at the moment.”
“….”
Construct Shiling Palace. It will serve as a place where individuals from the Saint Divine Land can come and practice, to determine if they are qualified enough,” commanded Zhou Huaijin.
“….”
“Monsters are very fierce. We can’t just sit and wait. Only when we combine forces can we get through this incident.”
“….”
“Prime Minister Chu will instruct you. Go and do it now.” Zhou Huaijin said.
The officer felt confused. Time changed very fast.
Shiling Palace?
So those people who were qualified enough could practice like Piaomiao Pavilion and the Cangyan Door?
The officer left in a hurry.
When this was done…
Zhou Huaijin said to Fu Bao. “People from Piaomiao Pavilion, the Cangyan Door and Snow Territory, move them out of the palacet.”
