Seeing this astonishing scene, Zhang Haihui's face turned red with excitement. Although he tried his best to hide it and look calmer, he could not hide the joy in his eyes.
He kept shouting in his heart.
Oh my God, all the civil and military officials and princes came out of the city to greet him!
Your Highness, everyone knows about your great achievements!
From now on, you will soar into the sky!
Wang Tiezhu didn't know how to hide his thoughts, his face was full of pride, and his nostrils were about to rise to the sky.
He only had a simple thought, that is, he had done something extraordinary with His Highness the Ninth Prince.
Liang Dafu also had a look of joy on his face, thinking to himself that Li Changfeng would become more powerful after today. In the future, there would be a steady stream of scientific research funding, and he would be able to research more powerful technologies.
The many thunder riders accompanying him all looked excited, feeling proud that they had such a respected lord.
Only Li Changfeng had a bitter look on his face, and he didn't know whether to take it seriously or not!
Father, Father, what are you doing?
I don’t want to be so high-profile, okay?
If you create such a big scene, aren't you putting me on the fire?
In this way, don't those princes who are thinking about seizing the crown prince's position day and night regard me as a thorn in their side?
I just want to live my happy and happy life in a low-key way!
At this moment, Feng Quji and his courtiers came over first and bowed down.
"Old minister, I pay my respects to His Highness the Ninth Prince. May His Highness the Ninth Prince be blessed with peace and prosperity!"
Later, the ministers and thousands of people behind them followed to pay homage.
"Greetings to His Highness the Ninth Prince, may His Highness the Ninth Prince be blessed and safe!"
For a time, shouts resounded through the sky, and the scene was quite spectacular.
The princes looked at this scene with complicated emotions.
They are also princes, but they have never been so prosperous.
Especially the sixth prince, Li Ji, was almost going crazy with jealousy, but he had to look happy on the surface.
Li Changfeng didn't dare to ask for help, so he quickly jumped off the carriage, walked forward quickly, and helped Feng Quji up.
"Old Prime Minister Feng, please rise!"
After helping Feng Quji up, Li Changfeng shouted to the others: "Everyone, please stand up. How can I, the prince, bear such a great gift? Isn't this a disgrace to me?"
Although Feng Quji was old, he was in excellent spirits, with a gleam of wisdom in his eyes. He said sternly: "His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince cured the floods in Shangzhou and saved millions of people in Shangzhou with a wave of his hand. How can he not bear such a great gift?"
Murong Changkong nodded and agreed: "Your Highness, there is no need to be too modest. This is the courtesy you deserve!"
The eldest prince Li Chengye stepped forward and said with a look of amazement on his face: "There are rumors among the people about the Nine Emperor Brothers' treatment of floods in Shangzhou, which is simply astonishing. Remembering that before, Brother Emperor, I had some doubts about you, but now I think about it and I feel quite ashamed.
I hope the emperor’s brother won’t care about it!”
After saying that, he actually bowed to Li Changfeng with an extremely low posture.
Li Changfeng didn't have the slightest air of arrogance, and quickly bowed and returned the salute, smiling and saying: "What did the elder brother say? They are all folk rumors and cannot be true!"
When Li Chengye did this, Feng Quji couldn't help but cast a surprised look, while Murong Changkong nodded secretly in his heart.
The second prince Li Shou and Li Ji secretly scolded Li Chengye for being so shameless, feeling as if they had eaten flies.
Li Changfeng has made great achievements, and now the ministers and the people are watching, and they have to show a look of brotherly harmony.
Li Shou cupped his hands, showed a look of admiration, and said loudly: "Brother Nine Emperors did a great job on this mission. I admire you very much. If it weren't for you, the people of Shangzhou would be in doom!"
Li Changfeng cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Brother Erhuang is so complimentary, it's all just a fluke!"
He knew that Li Shou sent someone to kill him, but on this occasion, Li Changfeng did not show any signs of it. On the surface, it seemed that there was no contradiction at all.
Because he knows that there is no point in alerting the snake now, and he will just deal with him slowly in the future.
Although Li Ji was angry in his heart, he had to show a warm and kind look on this occasion. He raised his hands and said with a smile: "The Nine Emperors are really talented. The flood in Shangzhou that the whole court had no solution for was actually easily ignored by you."
Solve it, I admire it! I admire it!"
However, Li Changfeng, who had always had a smile on his face, became gloomy at this time, with no concealment of disgust and hatred in his eyes.
However, he did not have an attack at this time, but deliberately ignored Li Ji, as if he did not hear him, avoiding him and walking towards Li Jianye who was behind him.
The smile on Li Ji's face suddenly froze, and overwhelming anger rose in his heart.
Li Changfeng actually ignored him and humiliated him in front of hundreds of civil and military officials and thousands of people. Where did this put his face?
This is simply a slap in the face!
More importantly, doesn't this make people more convinced that he sent someone to assassinate Li Changfeng?
Otherwise, why would Li Changfeng show off to Li Ji on such an occasion?
Thinking of this, Li Ji was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
It’s really unjust!
The second prince showed a gloating smile, while the eldest prince acted as if he hadn't seen anything.
Li Jianye didn't have so many polite words. He just gave a thumbs up, smiled and praised: "Well done!"
Li Changfeng knew that he was sincere, and a sincere smile appeared on his face. He punched his chest and said with a smile: "Do you still need to say it?"
At this time, Feng Quji walked over and said with a smile: "Your Highness, please quickly enter the city and the palace. Your Majesty will be waiting for you at the Xuanzheng Hall."
Li Changfeng nodded: "Okay."
Immediately, Li Changfeng was about to get into the car, but was stopped by Feng Quji: "His Majesty's decree, His Highness the Ninth Prince rides into the city so that the people can pay tribute to the hero who saved millions of people!"
Li Changfeng paused and wanted to refuse, but seeing everyone's sincere eyes, he could only say with a smile: "I know."
Immediately, he rode into the city.
After entering the city, they saw the city defenders lined up on both sides, with dense crowds of people behind them. They looked excited and knelt down to worship.
"Greetings to His Highness the Ninth Prince, may His Highness the Ninth Prince be blessed and safe!"
For a time, such shouts spread throughout the capital, and all the people who knelt down to worship were speaking from the bottom of their hearts without any falsehood.
After all, Li Changfeng saved millions of people in Shangzhou. No one can find any fault with him, and there is nothing but admiration for him.
Li Changfeng kept shouting Ping Shen, with a gentle smile on his face, almost cramping from laughing.
On the surface, he looked prosperous, but in his heart he was miserable, and he was even more resentful towards Emperor Qianwu.
It must be intentional!
This capital is really no place for humans!
This prince wants to return to Baishi City, and no one can stop me!
Feng Shi and Ziyang, who were mixed in the crowd and had disguised themselves, looked at Li Changfeng's triumphant appearance, and their moods gradually turned from complicated to exciting.
None of them expected that Li Changfeng had made such great achievements and would be able to come into frequent contact with Emperor Qianwu in the future. They would then be able to obtain Emperor Qianwu's whereabouts through Xu Feng'er and have more opportunities to assassinate him.
What made them helpless was that when Li Changfeng passed by them, they had to kneel down to worship, otherwise their identity would be exposed.
Although Li Changfeng was very reluctant, he still stole the show along the way.
When he arrived at the palace gate, Li Changfeng dismounted and saw Gao Dali waiting at the door with a chrysanthemum-like smile on his face, which made Li Changfeng feel particularly dazzling.
This old guy actually greeted him at the palace gate in person?
You know, Gao Dali was Emperor Qianwu's personal eunuch, and the meaning he represented here was extraordinary.
It can be said that he came to greet him on behalf of Emperor Qianwu.
If you are an ordinary person, you will naturally be very happy.
But Li Changfeng felt helpless.
Is it necessary to make it so big?
It seems that something must be done in the court today, otherwise it will be very troublesome to leave the capital if a reward is given.
More importantly, who knows what kind of enemies this whole process will create?
Li Changfeng's thoughts were racing in his heart, but on the surface he was smiling. He hurriedly greeted him and asked, knowingly: "Isn't this Eunuch Gao? Why are you here!"
As he spoke, he skillfully took out a wad of banknotes from his pocket and stuffed them directly into Gao Dali's hand with a very familiar movement.
Gao Dali's face twitched and he almost jumped out of fright.
Good guy, all the civil and military officials are here, and they openly bribe him. How can anyone do such a thing?
Are you afraid that nothing will fall into the hands of others?
Your Highness, you are not afraid, but I am!
Gao Dali quickly stuffed it back into Li Changfeng's hand, shook his head and said, "Your Highness, what are you doing? You can't do it!"
As he spoke, he quickly took a few steps back, keeping a distance from Li Changfeng, for fear that Li Changfeng would stuff the banknote into his hand again.
Of course, Li Changfeng did not expect Gao Dali to dare to accept bribes in front of so many people. The purpose was just as Gao Dali thought, which was to put the matter into the hands of the officials in the court.
Then if Emperor Wu entrusts him with any errands next time, he will let the officials stand up and object.
His coquettish moves immediately stunned the officials behind him.
How dare His Majesty the Ninth Prince openly bribe the eunuch who serves His Majesty?
What did he think?
Do you have to make yourself uncomfortable?
Everyone is a little confused.
Feng Quji, on the other hand, was startled for a moment, then an imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
This Ninth Prince is interesting!
After achieving his goal, Li Changfeng stopped pestering and said casually: "It's too little, right? I'll prepare more for you next time!"
Gao Dali has been with Emperor Qianwu for so many years and has always been favored by him. Naturally, he is also an extremely smart person and has already understood Li Changfeng's intention.
He smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, stop joking. Your Majesty is still waiting for you. Go to the main hall quickly."
Li Changfeng had a headache when he mentioned Emperor Qianwu. He nodded helplessly and followed to the Xuanzheng Hall.
As usual, all ministers paid homage.
Then Emperor Qianwu glanced at Li Changfeng, with an inexplicable smile on his lips, and then said loudly and forcefully: "Li Changfeng!"
Li Changfeng cupped his hands: "My son is here!"
Emperor Qianwu looked around at the ministers and princes, with a look of uncontrollable pride on his face: "It has been verified that a gap of 100 feet has indeed been opened in Liyu Mountain, and the water of the Shang River has been introduced into the Baixie Valley. The flood in Shangzhou has been relieved. It’s all a merit!”
"Almost all the evil beasts entrenched in the Baixie Valley were drowned by the flood, and the danger of evil beasts in Shangzhou was greatly reduced. This is the second achievement!"
"Relief for work was used to quickly restore production and life in Shangzhou, and the results were outstanding. This is the third contribution!"
Having said this, Emperor Qianwu paused, took a deep breath, raised his tone a lot, and said loudly: "The Ninth Prince Li Changfeng has made outstanding contributions, and millions of people in Shangzhou have been able to..."
At this point, everyone knew that after Emperor Qianwu made a summary, he would start to discuss merit and reward him.
People in all the powerful yamen in the court were a little nervous for a while, especially Li Chengye, Li Shou and Li Ji, who were even more nervous.
Li Changfeng naturally understood that he would not let Emperor Qianwu tell him about the reward, otherwise he would not be able to live safely.
As soon as he thought about it, he turned around and slapped Li Ji with a fake smile on his face.
