When I came out of the Human Emperor's study, I found Li Qingmu and Mr. Tuo waiting outside the door. However, the two men stood under a pillar in the corridor and looked into the distance without any communication at all.
Seeing me walking out of the study, Li Qingmu slowly walked over to me and smiled: "Have the talks between Prince Chen and His Majesty been settled?"
I nodded and said, it's settled.
Li Qingmu made a gesture of invitation towards me, gesturing for me to follow him.
When I passed by Mr. Tuo, he nodded slightly to me as a greeting. Since this man can carry a sword and follow the Emperor, he is definitely a master among masters, so I did not dare to neglect and quickly raised my hands and said: "Hello, senior
!”
Mr. Tuo had no intention of replying to my words, and walked directly past me and entered the Emperor's study.
Li Qingmu continued to whisper to me: "Mr. Tuo is like this. He is a man of few words, but he is a very kind man. He only does one thing in his life, which is to protect His Majesty the Emperor."
I asked Mr. Tuo what his strength was.
Li Qingmu smiled and said only four words: "It's profound and unpredictable. At least I never won when I competed with him!"
There are so many experts around this Human Emperor.
And when I talked with the Human Emperor, I already knew that the Human Emperor's own strength was also quite terrifying.
Following Li Qingmu back the same way, I discovered that we did not live in the inner palace, but in an attic in the outer palace of the imperial city. There were guards here to guard the safety of the attic, and some beautiful palace ladies to take care of our food, clothing, housing and transportation.
When I got here, I found that my companions were not resting, but were waiting for me to come back.
Seeing that I was back, Li Qingmu said to me: "Okay, Prince Chen, you can rest first. I will take you to the court early tomorrow morning. I hope you can change into the princely clothes in the room by then."
.”
Prince's clothes? I'm a little curious about what kind of clothes they look like.
Li Qingmu bowed his hands and said, "If Prince Chen needs anything, you can safely instruct the guards and maids here!"
I nodded.
After Li Qingmu left, my companions returned to the room with me. They asked me what the Human Emperor wanted from me and what he said.
I briefly explained the matter. After listening to what I said, Zhou Yin smiled and said: "The Emperor personally drew a map for you and asked you to use it as a gift for your audience in the court hall tomorrow. Haha, Lord Hall Master, you are so proud of your face."
It’s really big.”
I said: "I don't think it's because I have a big reputation, but maybe because my three masters have a bigger reputation."
Then everyone left one after another without saying anything else.
Soon there were only Nangong Fan and I left in the room. I asked Nangong and Fan if there was anything else, and she said: "It's okay, I just want to see how good your prince's clothes are."
No, come on, show me what you're wearing!"
With that said, she walked directly to the bed and picked up a set of purple and gold robes placed on the bedside.
The robe looks very luxurious, and it is also embroidered with dragon patterns. If it weren't for the purple and gold color of the robe, I would have thought it was a dragon robe.
Nangong Fancong walked directly up to me to dress me. I also opened my arms and let her manipulate the clothes on my body. I have to say that this set of purple and gold robes fit me very well, especially the tiger-like figure on my body.
The powerful dragon pattern embroidery makes me look more heroic.
I even feel that my aura has improved to a higher level.
The belt around my waist is inlaid with a row of gems. Those gems reveal a strong spiritual power, making the spiritual energy around me more dense.
After getting dressed, I found that Nangong Fan was holding a purple-gold hair crown in his hand. I have always had short hair, so I didn't need that hair crown.
Nangong Fancong looked at me and smiled and said: "Your short hair looks weird with this robe, but fortunately the robe fits perfectly, so this weirdness doesn't matter."
I also smiled and said nothing.
Next, Nangong Fancong didn't stay in my room any longer, and left after chatting for a while.
I just stopped and adjusted my breath. The court hall will definitely be very lively tomorrow, and I must be in my best condition to face all possible situations that may happen tomorrow.
Time passed quickly, and it was the next morning in the blink of an eye. Not long after I finished my morning homework, Li Qingmu came to see me, and then led me to the court, where my companions naturally had to wait for me.
As for the imperial court, there is no inner palace, but a huge palace in the outer palace. The palace is a hundred meters high, and a lifelike golden dragon is carved on the gold tiles on the roof.
In the center of the palace, there are three large characters on a blue plaque: "Holy Path Hall".
When I got here, I found that the sound of discussion was already coming from the court. It seemed that someone was arguing in the court, and the thing they were arguing about was whether to go to war with the Utopia.
Not long after we arrived outside the palace, a voice came from the court: "The hereditary prince Xuan Yi, Chen Yu, Prince Chen is here to see you!"
I adjusted my robe and then walked to the court hall. I looked at Li Qingmu and said, "Aren't you going?"
Li Qingmu said: "According to the rules, my official position is not enough to ascend to the court. Prince Chen, please go quickly. I will wait for you here."
I nodded to Li Qingmu.
Climbing the high steps and walking to the golden gate, I discovered that this hall was actually similar to the palace hall in the movie. The only difference was that the one here seemed wider, higher, and more luxurious.
There were two rows of people standing on both sides of the hall, some of whom I had seen at the gate when I entered the imperial city, including Prime Minister Lu Jingtian, Minister of Finance Huo Chengjiang, and Chief of Guard Chen Baokun. .
Among them, Lu Jingtian stood at the front, while Huo Chengjiang and Chen Bokun stood slightly behind.
Opposite Lu Jingtian stood a man wearing a dragon-patterned robe. He had the face of a man in his thirties, but his actual age was probably over a thousand years old, and in terms of strength, he was on par with a fifth-level immortal.
He looked at me with very disdain, and I probably already knew that this person should be the second-class prince Zhou Yang, Prince Fenghao Yun.
However, these were not the people I wanted to greet. When I walked to the center of the court and was about to salute the Emperor, the Emperor smiled at me and said, "It's too far. Come closer to me."
I hesitated for a moment, then took a few steps towards the Human Emperor.
The Human Emperor continued: "It's still too far."
I keep going.
The Human Emperor said: "It's still far away!"
Ah, I was stunned. If I go further, I will reach the steps of the high platform under the throne of the Human Emperor. Does he want me to stand on those steps?
You must know that Prince Yun and the Prime Minister are both standing under the stage.
There are only two people on this stage, one is His Majesty the Human Emperor, and the other is Mr. Tuo who has been standing next to the Human Emperor holding a sword.
At this time, not only me, but also the important officials in the court were surprised!
At this time, the Emperor's words were even more shocking: "Come here, bring a chair for Chen Yu and put it outside my table."
The chair seemed to be ready, and soon someone moved a fine mahogany chair to the stage.
But I was completely stunned in the audience. This Human Emperor paid too much attention to me, and I was instantly flattered.
After the chair was placed, the Emperor continued to say to me: "Come up and receive the title."
I was stunned for a few seconds and then stepped forward. When I reached the stage, the Human Emperor said: "Chen Yu listens to the seal!"
I also slowly knelt down in front of the table.
The Human Emperor continued: "In the name of the Human Emperor, I consecrate Chen Yu as a first-class hereditary prince, and the royal title is Chen. He is in charge of the general defense of the northwest army of the human race. He governs fourteen states and counties and ninety-four legions, totaling one hundred
Two hundred thousand troops."
"Chen Yu is also appointed as Deputy Minister of Military Affairs, with the title of Marshal!"
When I heard these rewards from the Human Emperor, I was stunned. This Human Emperor wanted to confer me to heaven!
The entire court was also in an uproar.
I have also heard of the position of Minister of Military Affairs. It is a position on an equal footing with the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is in charge of government affairs, while the Minister of Military Affairs is in charge of all the human armies!
After the Human Emperor finished speaking, he looked at me and said, "You still haven't thanked me!"
I quickly kowtowed to express gratitude, sent the map in my hand to the Emperor’s table and said, “This is my gift to His Majesty!”
Originally, I had prepared an impassioned speech, but now I had completely forgotten about it. I was also confused by the series of awards from the Human Emperor.
However, the Human Emperor's order has been issued, and no one dares to refute it.
Some people in the court were happy, while others frowned.
The Human Emperor continued: "Okay, get up and sit down."
I nodded, and then sat on the chair. I felt uneasy in my heart. Looking at the important ministers guarding the rights of the human race in the court, I felt so mixed that I almost turned into a mess.
After I sat down, everyone in the court hall said at the same time: "Your Majesty is wise, Prince Chen is Jinfu."
When I heard everyone greeting me so solemnly, I subconsciously stood up from my chair and returned the greeting.
The Human Emperor smiled beside him and said, "Prince Chen, you don't have to return the courtesy. You deserve all this."
I sat back on the chair, feeling a little unspeakably complicated.
Next, the court discussed some government affairs in various parts of the human race, but I didn't listen at all. I feel like I'm in a dream now, and I can't find Bei at all.
More than two hours passed in a blink of an eye. When they had finished discussing everything, the court dispersed.
When the Human Emperor was leaving, he came over and patted me on the shoulder and said: "Prince Chen, it's over and we are leaving the court. If you don't leave first, the ministers below will not dare to leave!"
I said "Ah" and quickly said goodbye to the Emperor.
After the Human Emperor left, I turned around and walked down the steps, and then left from the main entrance of the court under the attention of the important ministers.
After I walked out of the court, the ministers inside came out one after another. They came out in order according to their official positions, so the ones who came out immediately after me were Lu Jingtian and Prince Yun.
Lu Jingtian smiled at me and said: "Prince Chen, congratulations to you, you are really a young man who has achieved success!"
At this time, Prince Yun Zhou Yang also said: "Prince Chen, we will work together in the future. Although you are a first-class prince, you are only the deputy minister of military affairs. You are higher than me in title, but lower than me in official position.
I hope you can cooperate with me in the future!"
I immediately understood that Prince Nayun’s official position was Minister of Military Affairs.
At this time, Lu Jingtian said from the side: "But your military rank is just a general, but Prince Chen is a marshal. Prince Chen is higher than you in military rank. Maybe in the future..."
Lu Jingtian laughed at the joke and did not continue, but I knew very well that Lu Jingtian was probably intensifying the conflict between me and Prince Yun.
I didn’t want to get involved in any political struggle, so I just said, “I have something else to do, so I’ll take my leave now!”
Having said that, I was about to leave. At this time, Li Qingmu also came to rescue me, and those people stopped following me.
After leaving, Li Qingmu smiled and said: "You can get used to these politicians' tricks in the future. Okay, I heard His Majesty the Emperor said that you want to go to Tianmo Temple, I will take you there now."
Just as I was about to say something, Li Qingmu said: "Don't worry, your companions are already waiting for you outside the palace!"
I said "hmm", and as Li Qingmu left the palace, my next target was Tianmo Temple. (To be continued)
