Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Son of Heaven Is Sitting in the Ming Hall (1)
Wu Shilang looked at Li Zhengxi with a little regret. He would regret not cherishing this opportunity one day. At his age, he has seen through many things and his own strength is the foundation.
"Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions. This person will have different pursuits at different ages. I am the same at this age. I can't see through it, and I don't want to see through it."
Having said that, the old man sighed and shook his head, hey, the past is too painful to look back on, if there is a medicine for regret in the world, we must make up for the regrets of the past!
Looking at Wu Shilang walking forward, Chai Tiannuo couldn't help scratching his chin. It seems that when he was young, he was probably a romantic who died under peonies.
The main gate of Luoyang City is wide open, and countless people line the streets to welcome it. Small flowers made of various pigmented papers are flying in the air. Even the Chinese New Year cannot match the excitement today.
"Ahem, isn't this too enthusiastic?"
This was the first time for Chaitino to receive such courtesy, and he was really not used to it.
Wu Shilang smiled and said:
"This is the simplicity of the common people. It has brought glory to the country. Naturally, I feel the same way. I wish I could worship you with all my heart."
Having said this, the old man bent down and took the small basket of hard-boiled eggs handed over by the baby, peeled them off and ate them while saying:
"But if you lose someone, it will be different. Paper flowers will turn into rotten vegetable leaves, and hard-boiled eggs will turn into rotten eggs. It will be fine if you are not covered in feces and urine."
"In this world, after all, we only care about success or failure, not hard work."
Chaitino blinked and couldn't help but said:
"My lord, there is something wrong with you today, but there is something on your mind?"
"It's nothing serious. I'm just feeling a little emotional when I finally come back after a journey of more than half a year."
Wu Shilang shook his head gently.
The Meridian Gate of the Imperial City was opened wide, and the Forbidden Army and the Yulin Army formed a queue that was several miles long. More than thirty people from the envoy entered the Imperial City directly through the Jinshui Bridge. This was an extremely rare courtesy, and everyone felt flattered.
Emperor Tianqi sat on the dragon chair in the Huangji Palace, watching the envoys slowly enter, with a happy smile on his face.
All the important ministers looked back, with the same smile on their faces. This mission was a complete success. The honors won by the students were small, but the real big ones were done by Chaitino.
Tianjibian is a small thing, saving the second princess is a small thing, but the real big thing is to overthrow Dawei and find an ally for Dahua that can watch each other!
Such a major event concerning the country, the country, and the country is right in front of us, and no one can deny it!
There was a brief pause outside the Huangji Hall. Amidst the shrill shouts of the chamberlain, more than thirty people entered the hall, folded their hands and bowed, shouting "Long Live Long Live."
Chai Tiannuo raised his head with the sound of saying goodbye, his eyes tightening involuntarily.
Emperor Tianqi is sitting in the Hall of Fame, his appearance has changed drastically compared to before!
His originally sharp eyes were now indifferent and gentle, and even his angular face had become much rounder. The whole person looked completely different from his previous aloof appearance.
If his charm and body hadn't changed, he could almost be recognized as someone else.
Wu Shilang was only surprised by the change in Emperor Tianqi's appearance. What shocked Chai Tiannuo was the huge and unstable aura faintly revealed on Emperor Tianqi's body.
As expected, Emperor Tianqi is already a land god!
The jade-like divine fetus has been completely refined by him, but after all, he could not cultivate it by himself, and his previous state was too low. He should have been in it for a long time now, but this state is still fluctuating severely.
"During the trip to the ancient Buddhist kingdom, you were able to promote the majesty of the great nation. General Chai Zhonglang made extraordinary achievements many times. The so-called punishment for meritorious deeds means that for such great achievements, you cannot but reward them."
Emperor Tianqi said in a soft tone and waved lightly. Attendant Jia came forward, bowed and saluted, slowly opened the scroll and read aloud:
"Chai Tiannuo, the general of the guard of the left and right prisons, Tianhui is smart and has made outstanding achievements many times. He was promoted to the general of the guards of the left and right prisons and was granted the title of Doctor Guanglu as a token of commendation."
The ministers didn't react much. They must have known about the official appointment for a long time, but Chai Tiannuo was shocked. It's easy to say that Dr. Guanglu is equivalent to a national policy adviser and does not need to go to court.
However, the left and right prison guards have the actual title of general. I feel comfortable as a lieutenant general because the left and right prison guards are now directly led by the Ministry of War. They have no worries about doing chores and can only visit occasionally.
But if you take the two guard generals, it means that the Ministry of War is no longer directly in charge, and everything is handled by the left and right guard generals. This is a major event for the establishment of the government!
Due to the incident in Luoyang City, all the high-ranking officials on the left and right were almost wiped out. How could I have the ability to open two mansions at once?
Seeing that Chai Tiannuo was a little confused, General Li Chenglan leaned over and said softly with a smile:
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. The Ministry of War has taken care of things for you and assigned you two lieutenants. All trivial matters belong to them. You can just be a hands-off shopkeeper. If there are big things, you can take over again. And they are all yours."
acquaintance."
Hearing what the general said, Chai Tiannuo felt a little relieved, but he couldn't help but think, the two lieutenants would be his acquaintances, who could they be?
There were many inconveniences in the court hall. Chai Tiannuo suppressed his curiosity and listened to Jia's chamberlain continue to read out the appointments. Everyone on the mission to the ancient Buddhist kingdom would be rewarded.
The Minister of Rites retired, and Wu Shilang took over. Li Zhengxi, who had been promoted for less than a year, was promoted again and took the title of General Zuolang of the Forbidden Army.
This was something that had never happened before for two Chinese celebrities to work directly with the aristocratic Seventh Rank Imperial Academy editor. Most of the chief officers of the three provinces and six ministries, with the exception of the Ministry of War, started their careers in the Imperial Academy.
It is truly surprising to receive such an award.
As for the remaining 20 or so students, they have all been admitted to the eighth-grade official position. If Chunwei succeeds, there will naturally be a bonus effect.
A group of people were all very happy, and a banquet was held in the imperial court at noon to welcome everyone.
After the banquet, everyone left, except Chai Tiannuo who stayed and was led to the imperial study by Jia's servant.
Chaitino felt uncomfortable all over with his envious eyes, and he couldn't help but mutter in his heart, "Grandma is such a badass, you think it's good, but I don't think so."
If you are tired from the journey, you might as well go home and have a good rest.
After entering the imperial study, Chai Tiannuo was about to salute when he was interrupted by Emperor Tianqi:
"Forget it. I came here for no other reason than to be a matchmaker with you. I have no choice but to lose face."
"Being a matchmaker, with whom?"
Chai Tiannuo was stunned. He never expected that he was called to the Imperial Study Room because of such a strange thing.
Jia Nei stood aside and grinned, thinking that Chai Shixian's reaction was a bit slow.
"Who else could it be besides you?"
Emperor Tianqi looked at Chai Tiannuo who was even more confused and chuckled.
"But, but I already have a wife, how can I marry again?"
"It's not marriage, it's marriage."
"Ah~~?!"
Chai Tiannuo almost jumped high. Could it be that the tall, bearded man with good Longyang fell in love with him?!
Damn it, it's so scary!
As soon as he saw Chai Tiannuo's reaction, Emperor Tianqi knew what he was thinking and shook his head helplessly:
"You, Wenzong, have some dirty things in your mind. What you are talking about is the royal consort, not that kind of dirty stuff!"
The waiter Jia on the side covered his mouth to suppress his laughter, and Cai Tiannuo, who had beads of sweat on his forehead, breathed a sigh of relief. It was true that he was very frightened, or maybe he was disgusted.
