Chapter 107: Yin Shou's Confusion
In the evening, Yin Qi set up a banquet to entertain Ji Fa.
In addition to the five Heaven Realm powerhouses Zhang Shaokang, Zhou Jian, Ding Ce, Guo Chen, and Dong Zhong, there were also the four Heaven Realm powerhouses sent by Xiqi, namely Zhao Kun, Bai Feng, Xiao Yun, and Yuan Chao.
Besides that, there were four cultivator representatives Ma Benqi, Sun Hao, Lu Fei, and Gongsun Shu, who specialized in artifact refining, alchemy, array formation, and mechanism puppets respectively.
In addition, there were three important family officials, namely the House Steward (Prince Mansion Manager) Kou Feng, House Advisor (Strategist) Zishi, and Yao Chen.
For this night banquet, Yin Qi was also very generous, taking out nineteen centennial spirit peaches, as well as dishes made from python demon meat, and everyone was excited and moved to tears.
Even Ji Fa's eyes changed completely.
Not only were there spirit peaches that could extend life for a hundred years, but also demon beast meat at the Heaven Immortal Realm, which even Xiqi could not take out.
But Yin Qi actually took these things to entertain them.
It seems that this Yin Qi is far from as simple as it appears on the surface.
Yin Qi was willing to be so generous, mainly to buy people's hearts, especially since Xiqi sent four Heaven Realm powerhouses, letting them see his foundation, and naturally their hearts would waver in the future, and they would completely submit to him.
Of course, while eating and drinking here, he didn't forget Di Yi.
Not long after returning to the mansion, he sent a storage magic tool to Di Yi, which contained not only nine centennial spirit peaches, but also the flood dragon corpse and ten meters of python meat.
Having merged with the memories and emotions of this body, he still respected Di Yi very much.
……
Drinking and chatting, the banquet lasted until midnight.
In the bathroom, Yin Qi was soaking in a bath, holding the list of supplies and personnel sent by Ji Fa to look at.
The supplies were mainly gold, silver, and immortal crystals, as well as many pills and magic tools, but the levels were not high, and there were no resources needed by Heaven Realm and Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.
As for the personnel list, only the four Heaven Realm powerhouses were eye-catching.
Others were not worth mentioning.
If it were before, these resources might have made him take another look.
But now, Yin Qi didn't look down on them at all.
However, a mosquito is still meat, and it was a huge amount of wealth in the past, which could recruit many people.
Putting down the list, Yin Qi turned around, pulled Zhou Ji, who was wiping his back, into his arms, and blew a breath in her ear: "Beloved wife, did you miss me?"
Zhou Ji felt soft all over, and her fair skin became flushed.
Her eyes were blurred, and she nodded gently.
Yin Qi couldn't help but smile, and soon the warm water in the bath pool surged.
The waves hit the shore, and the spray was like snow.
…………
The next day.
February 1st.
The sky was slightly bright, and outside the palace gate, hundreds or thousands of officials gathered.
When Yin Qi arrived, he found Yin Shou surrounded by a group of officials.
Even though Yin Shou appeared indifferent, these officials did not leave, trying their best to leave a deep impression on this 'future' Human Emperor.
"Your Highness!"
Although many people greeted him, there were only twenty or thirty people, all of whom were his loyal followers.
Yin Qi didn't care about this.
"Imperial brother!"
Yin Yan greeted him, his eyes glancing at Yin Shou, and he smiled lightly: "These people are really realistic, it's just city rumors, and the father hasn't announced the results yet, so they take it seriously."
Yin Qi looked at Yin Yan and said lightly: "Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, human instinct."
After speaking, he closed his eyes and stood still.
Yin Yan shook his head and smiled, and didn't speak again.
He was actually very unwilling, not even having the qualification to play.
Unless Yin Qi and Yin Shou both died, he would have no chance with the Human Emperor position in this life.
As time passed, civil and military officials arrived one after another.
………
Golden Throne Hall.
"Enter the class!"
With the inner servant shouting loudly, civil and military officials entered the hall in order.
Di Yi was wearing a white Xuan Bird imperial robe, wearing a twelve-tassel crown, full of majesty, sitting on the dragon chair.
"Greetings to the Great King!"
"Everyone, rise!"
"Thank you, Great King!"
After the monarch and ministers met, the Grand Court Meeting went through the procedures.
Compared to usual, the fixed procedures of the Grand Court Meeting were obviously accelerated a lot, and it was clear that everyone was looking forward to today's highlight, which was the situation and results of the first assessment.
Less than half an hour later, the morning court reached its final session for reporting matters.
It's just that today it was very strange, no one stood up to report matters.
Di Yi smiled slightly and said: "Since no one wants to report matters, let's talk about the first assessment.
I believe that you ministers have long wanted to know.
After joint discussion and evaluation by me and the three ministers, the winner of the first assessment is..."
Speaking of this, he deliberately paused.
Swish swish!
Almost instinctively, everyone looked at Yin Shou.
Yin Shou also held his head high and chest out, extremely proud, already prepared to be praised.
He looked at Yin Qi with his peripheral vision, and found that from beginning to end, Yin Qi had a gentle and humble smile on his face, without any panic.
He didn't think he would lose, so he could only admire his brother's cultivation of Qi.
Mount Tai collapses in front without changing color, elk rises on the left without blinking.
Di Yi's gaze wandered between Yin Qi and Yin Shou.
He also wanted to take the opportunity to observe the two, and found that Yin Shou was still as proud as ever, not putting anyone in his eyes.
Yin Qi was also as humble as ever, neither happy nor angry.
Compared to the two, the temperament is high and low.
It took a long time for him to say the answer, his voice mellow and powerful: "Yin Qi!"
"What, it's actually Qi Wang!"
"How is this possible, even if Qi Wang did well, at most it's a draw, how could he win?"
"Haha, great, I knew His Highness wouldn't lose!"
……
When Di Yi finished speaking, the hall was in an uproar.
Yin Shou's supporters were completely stunned, and their reactions were the most intense, they couldn't believe it.
And Yin Qi's supporters were overjoyed after being stunned.
They originally thought the best result was a draw, but didn't expect Yin Qi to win.
As for other middle-of-the-road and fence-sitting factions, they were more shocked.
The smile on Yin Shou's face froze in an instant.
He was also stunned!
You must know that this time Jianzhou disaster relief, he collected various experiences from predecessors, and considered himself to have taken care of all aspects, which can be called perfect, how could he lose?
At most, it's a draw.
"Father King, the child has a report!"
Yin Shou was too proud, not allowing himself to lose.
He immediately bowed and said in a loud voice, instantly suppressing the noise in the hall.
Everyone also quieted down and looked at Di Yi together.
They need an explanation.
Although Di Yi is the Human Emperor, even the Human Emperor cannot mess around.
Di Yi just nodded lightly. He didn't speak, but turned to signal the old inner servant beside him.
This old inner servant is named Bing Zhui, equivalent to the Palace Grand Steward, and is also Di Yi's personal eunuch, but not a eunuch.
Bing Zhui received the signal, bowed to Di Yi, and then faced the court officials, then flicked his fingers repeatedly, and two streams of light were excited from his fingers, soon forming two silk scrolls in the air on both sides of the hall.
Di Yi said: "These are their disaster relief records, you look at them first."
Swish swish!
The officials looked up one after another at the silk scrolls floating in mid-air.
Compared to Yin Shou's disaster relief record, Yin Qi's disaster relief record was more, and almost all officials were looking at Yin Qi's disaster relief record, because Yin Shou's disaster relief process had long spread throughout Zhaoge. ===== CHAPTER 108 =====
