Silence! Deadly silence spread throughout the hall.
In the palace, all the important people couldn't help but turn their heads and look at the entrance of the palace, their hearts beating rapidly, their eyes full of astonishment and excitement.
After seeing the "Golden Pheasant" pattern on the chests of the two old men, everyone made many guesses, thinking that they were governors temporarily appointed by the capital to inspect the capital.
But they didn't expect that these two elegant old men were actually cabinet bachelors.
The cabinet, the most powerful organ of power in the imperial court today, has suppressed the six ministries, and power organs such as Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate cannot hold their heads up.
This is the power structure of the entire imperial court, second only to the Five Emperors in prestige and authority. It is not an exaggeration to say that it has power over the entire court, and that one family is the dominant one.
The cabinet is composed of six bachelors. Each cabinet bachelor is a top-level official, and his status and reputation are much more noble than other second-rank officials.
This is why everyone was so shocked when they heard that these two elegant old men were cabinet ministers.
"I, Shao Hongyuan, the master of Xuantian Mansion, would like to pay homage to the two great bachelors!"
Shao Hongyuan was trembling with excitement. He put his hands on the ground and kowtowed three times to Yu Luan and Xiang Rui.
At this moment, Shao Hongyuan was really excited. He didn't expect that the domain lord would actually bring two cabinet bachelors. This was a great flattery for him! "Meet the two bachelors!"
"Greetings to the two great bachelors!"
"..." In the main hall, the important figures in front of each case stood up one after another, bowed deeply to Yu Luan and Xiang Rui, and worshiped with piety on their faces.
The more than ten palace lords from other provinces were filled with envy, jealousy and hatred in their hearts, secretly exclaiming that Shao Hongyuan was so lucky that the domain lord and the two cabinet bachelors would actually visit their Xuantian Mansion in person.
Even if the domain lord and the two cabinet bachelors did not promise Shao Hongyuan anything, the latter still made a lot of money.
From now on, Shao Hongyuan only needs to say that their Xuantian Mansion has received the domain lord and two cabinet bachelors at the same time.
If this gimmick is released, I don't know how many forces will be willing to cooperate with Xuantian Mansion, and I don't know how many young geniuses will join Xuantian Mansion in a hurry.
This is a good thing that brings huge profits. Which palace master would not be jealous of it?
Tang Haomo, who was standing in the crowd, was even more excited. He was also shocked by the formation in front of him, but he was more excited.
In his opinion, when second-grade officials such as the Territory Lord and the Cabinet Grand Scholar came to Xuantian Mansion in person, he knew without thinking that they should be here for Shao Hongyuan.
As long as Shao Hongyuan can introduce him, he has a great chance to get to know these three second-level figures, and by then the Destroying God Pavilion behind him will eventually rise to become the top force in the Holy Dynasty's inner domain.
Yu Luan and Xiang Rui just nodded slightly to everyone's salutes, with cold expressions and indifferent expressions.
They were in high positions and had long been accustomed to people being respectful and groveling towards them. Now their only urgent priority was to find Mu Feng as soon as possible and then bring the boy back to the capital to resume his duties in the cabinet.
Yu Luan and Xiang Rui looked through the crowd and landed on Ning Tianlu, who was sitting in the main seat, with a look of inquiry in their eyes.
Originally, the two of them learned from Ning Tianlu that Mu Feng was in the Xuantian Mansion in the Southern Barbarian Territory. They had no intention of alerting Dou Li, the master of the Southern Barbarian Territory, and they had no intention of letting the master of the Xuantian Mansion come to greet them ceremoniously.
Unexpectedly, Dou Li actually learned about their coming to Xuantian Mansion through some unknown channel, and then entertained them in the Domain Lord Hall in advance, and notified Shao Hongyuan, the master of Xuantian Mansion, to prepare for the reception.
So today's scene happened! Originally, the two bachelors did not plan to come to the Palace Lord's Palace to attend the banquet, but they changed their minds because of Ning Tianlu's words.
And what Ning Tianlu said was: Mu Feng will also come to the banquet.
Naturally, they also knew in advance the grudge between Mu Feng and the God-Destroying Pavilion, and the master of the God-Destroying Pavilion also had some friendship with Shao Hongyuan, the head of the Xuantian Palace.
To Mu Feng, today's banquet was obviously the Hongmen Banquet.
After the two bachelors learned the news, they changed from passive to active, just to come to support Mu Feng.
"Get up!"
Yu Luan and Xiang Rui looked around, and soon their sharp eyes were fixed on a remote corner near the palace gate.
There, there were three figures standing, one of whom was a young man in black, but their eyes were particularly hot.
Although the two of them had never met Mu Feng, they had seen Mu Feng's portrait, so the moment they saw Mu Feng, they immediately recognized Mu Feng.
"Brother! Were those two great bachelors looking at us just now?
Do they know us?"
Yunyun suddenly shook Mu Feng's arm and asked softly.
"Impossible! How distinguished are the cabinet ministers, how can we be qualified to be recognized by them?"
Xuanji smiled bitterly.
Mu Feng smiled and said nothing, but deep in his eyes, there was a sparkle.
It seems that the cabinet still attaches great importance to him, and they actually sent two bachelors at once, which made Mu Feng quite gratified.
The choice of the cabinet was indeed the right one! Under the humble guidance of Shao Hongyuan, Yu Luan, Xiang Rui and Dou Li, three second-rank officials, walked along the red carpet to the steps of the main seat and sat down on the three main seats in the center.
On position.
Ning Tianlu stood up and saluted the three of them. At the same time, he sent a message to Yu Luan and Xiang Rui to explain Mu Feng's current situation.
When the two elders learned that Mu Feng did not want to reveal his identity so early, although they were confused, they did not say anything.
Now that they had found Mu Feng, they were feeling quite happy. Naturally, they would not refuse Mu Feng's small request.
"Lord Territory Lord, two great bachelors! This is Tang Haomo, the Grand Pavilion Master of the God-Destroying Pavilion, the only first-class force in our Xuantian Mansion!"
After the three second-grade officials took their seats, Shao Hongyuan began to introduce Tang Haomo to the three.
Tang Haomo was sitting in the area closest to the main seat. At this moment, he stood up quickly, nodded and bowed humbly, with a flattering smile on his face.
"It turns out that you are Tang Haomo from the Destroying God Pavilion. I have heard of you before. Your talent is very good! If you work hard, you are expected to become an intermediate martial emperor in the future!"
Territory Lord Dou Li glanced at Tang Haomo, a smile appeared on his lips, and he nodded.
Speaking of which, Dou Li actually didn't know why the two cabinet bachelors suddenly came to Xuantian Mansion. He asked Yu Luan and Xiang Rui, but they really kept it secret.
Later, Dou Li tentatively asked Shao Hongyuan to hold a grand banquet to invite them. He found that Yu Luan and Xiang Rui did not refuse, which made him mistakenly believe that the two bachelors came for Shao Hongyuan, the master of Xuantian Palace.
Therefore, Dou Li's attitude towards Shao Hongyuan became a little more polite.
If it were normal times, with Dou Li's arrogance, how would he care about who Shao Hongyuan introduced?
Many people present saw Dou Li's subtle change in attitude, and everyone looked at Shao Hongyuan with admiration.
Most people already believe that these three second-grade officials are here for Shao Hongyuan.
And the palace masters of the dozen or so other palaces all had ugly faces. This was the scene they least wanted to see.
With the support of three second-grade officials, Xuantian Mansion will surely ride on the wind in the future and become the most powerful manor in the Southern Barbarian Territory.
This made all the palace masters present feel very uncomfortable!
