Chapter 148 Divine Power
As expected, their reaction was just as Lu Yan had imagined.
Everyone was extremely shocked. They had never imagined that His Royal Highness Prince Jing, who they saw as so upright, would actually push an inexplicable woman to the position of National Master.
Didn't he usually not believe in these ghost stories? Why did he regard a national affair as so important?
"Master Xu, I advise you to think twice. State Master Xu has always worked for the emperor and doesn't seem like a good person, although he hasn't killed anyone."
"Yes, of course I know that the Imperial Preceptor has a good relationship with the Empress, but the position of Imperial Preceptor is nothing more than a bluff, after all. I believe you understand that."
"Yes, if we allow Master Xu's daughter to become the Imperial Master, who knows what kind of ideas Master Xu will instill in her. Besides, she is just a young girl who has just started out in the world. She is probably only in her twenties now."
As expected, the ministers in the court were quite prejudiced against the position of Imperial Master. In fact, Lu Yan also wanted Xu Qingyin to be a proper female official, but Yunjin had no precedent for female officials.
However, with Xu Luohan having been in charge before, it would be much easier to push Xu Qingyin to the position of national teacher.
He didn't necessarily want Xu Qingyin to participate in political affairs, but he knew that Xu Qingyin, as a witch, would be able to more conveniently display her abilities if she took the position of the national teacher.
Moreover, if there is any trouble in the future, she can fight alongside her. Xu Qingyin had said these things a long time ago. If Lu Yan cannot let her fight alongside Lu Yan, Xu Qingyin would rather fight alone.
Although Lu Yan's eloquence was not very good, it would take him a lot of effort to convince this group of old ministers, but he knew what kind of person Xu Qingyin was.
She now regards Lu Yunjin as her own home, so it is impossible for him to let Xu Qingyin stay out of this matter. This is also her own wish.
"I know this is difficult for you to understand, but haven't all of Master Xu's predictions come true over such a long time?"
When he asked this, everyone around him was naturally speechless, because it was indeed the case.
"So what? Even if these predictions are successful, it doesn't mean anything. Maybe she just got lucky by accident, or maybe he used some kind of evil magic to make these predictions come true."
Although these words made Lu Yan angry, he swallowed his anger in order to convince them.
"How do we explain those diamonds here? They appeared out of thin air, as you all know. You can come and go freely in the Zhaixing Tower where we usually stay for supervision. How could you have ever heard of diamonds appearing here?"
This was indeed strange, but they really couldn't explain why, after all, those diamonds really appeared out of thin air.
This kind of gem is very rare in Yunjin, but it is the hardest thing in the whole Yunjin, which is enough to show that a lot of effort was put into it.
Seeing that they seemed to be giving in, Lu Yan continued to press on:
"Perhaps you find it hard to understand how a general like me, who usually leads troops in battle, could possibly believe these ghost stories? But you also know that everyone often says that I had divine help during the battles in the northern part of Yunjin. Do you ever believe it?"
After asking this, others began to hesitate:
"This……"
In fact, they didn't want to believe it, nor did they want to disbelieve it. It was just that this matter was too mysterious.
According to common sense, the Zhenbei Army must be destroyed. Even with the best tactics, it is impossible to defeat the Nanxiang people without food and supplies.
But he did win, and he won beautifully.
"I told you that Xu Qingyin, the daughter of the Xu family, is a witch. What are you supposed to do?"
When this was said, everyone was shocked. How could this be possible?
Although the existence of poisonous insects in this world is enough to confuse them, they only regard them as evil creatures like poisons, and never think of them as being connected with any fantasy.
But now if we say Xu Qingyin is the witch, how is that possible? The other is just a legend.
"You may not believe it, but in the north, my food and my cotton clothes were used up. So many soldiers of the Northern Guard returned with wounds on their bodies, but didn't you notice that they returned even healthier than when they left, with enough to eat and warm clothes. They were actually living a better life than before."
When talking about this, everyone around them was speechless. When all these things came together, it even really shook their true materialistic beliefs.
"I know you might still not believe me when I say this, so I'll just let you watch."
After Lu Yan said this, he took out his jade bracelet from his chest and placed it on the table. Although there were candles in the room, it was a conspiracy after all, so the atmosphere was very strong and it was still a little dark.
This jade bracelet is really strange!
I have never heard of any jade that can emit light, but this jade actually glows faintly, and the light even fluctuates, which is simply amazing.
The dishes on the table were now cold. Lu Yan moved some of the dishes aside and placed the table closer to him, but also in the center.
Just when everyone was shocked, they heard Xu Qingyin's voice!
"It's the middle of the night, and you asked me to bring you something delicious? Why don't you just make it in your small kitchen? Seriously."
After saying this, a box of cakes suddenly appeared out of thin air next to the jade bracelet!
The old ministers nearby were all so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths. They had never seen such a strange scene in their lifetime... All the beliefs they had just had collapsed in an instant after seeing the scene with their own eyes.
After saying this, I saw a piece of paper appear next to the table, with a poem clearly written on it.
The ink hasn't even dried yet, and it's obvious that Xu Qingyin just practiced calligraphy.
"Do you believe it now? All those supplies in the north were given to me by him. If I promote her to the position of Imperial Master, do you have any objections?"
The others were still immersed in the shock of the moment and hadn't recovered for a long time. However, one person reacted quickly:
"Since the eldest daughter of the Xu family is so capable, why can't we bring her over? With her, our chances of winning will double."
The others came to their senses and quickly echoed:
"We were blind to the truth just now. We never imagined that Miss Xu could possess such extraordinary power!"
