When he arrived at the stage, Li Qingmu pointed to the steps on the side and said, "Go up those steps. It's best not to use any magic near this stage."
I nodded and stepped up the steps. Li Qingmu had no intention of following me up, but looked at me from below. When I was about to reach the top, he turned and left.
I also turned around and took a look, and found that Li Qingmu was walking to the east side of the stage. There was a group of guards standing there. Each of these guards was very energetic, and in terms of strength, they were all around the fourth or fifth level of heavenly beings.
These should be the elite among the guards.
They saw Li Qingmu walking over, then nodded to Li Qingmu, and then disappeared together with a "whoosh".
I did not use my mental strength to find out where they were, because I had already reached the top of the Dragon Altar. The Human Emperor, Mr. Tuo, Prince Zhou Hao and Xishan County Prince Zhou Li all walked towards me to greet me.
Of course, in addition to them, there were also some dignitaries in the court, such as Prime Minister Lu Jingtian, Minister of Finance Huo Chengjiang, Chief of Guard Chen Bokun and others.
In addition to them, there are some people I can't name, but they look familiar.
I'm sure I've seen them in court.
But no matter who it is, everyone has a smile on their face. It's obvious that they don't know that big things are going to happen here next.
At the same time, I also discovered one thing, that is, there are no other children of the Human Emperor here except Prince Zhou Hao and Prince Zhou Li of Xishan County.
After I saluted the Human Emperor, he came over to pull me directly, and then directly pulled me to the side of the dragon chair. The dragon chair was very big, and there was no problem for several people to sit on it. The Human Emperor then pulled me to sit on the dragon chair.
.
I stood next to the dragon chair and was stunned. What does the Human Emperor mean by this!?
I glanced to the side and saw that Zhou Hao's expression was a little unnatural, but Zhou Li smiled at me. Although his smile was not very natural, I could tell that he was really happy for me.
But why is that unnatural smile on his face? Does he also know that the Emperor is about to die?
Thinking of this, I looked at the Human Emperor again. With the help of Bajiaoxue's mark, I saw that there was indeed a death aura wrapped around his body. The death aura was very heavy, which meant that he was indeed about to die.
.
What's going on? The Human Emperor is really...
Just when I was surprised, the Human Emperor pulled me and said: "Prince Chen, please sit down on this dragon chair. You are a first-class prince, and you have made immortal contributions to our human race in annihilating the Utopia. This
Dragon chair, you can sit up."
I shook my head and said: "Forget it, I'm just a prince. How can I be the emperor's chair? It's embarrassing for me!"
The Human Emperor said: "Prince Chen is serious, it's just a chair, it doesn't mean anything. As long as you have me in your heart, it doesn't matter what the seat is!"
I hesitated for a moment, but the Emperor couldn't help but forcefully pushed me down on the dragon chair, and then sat down next to me.
Seeing that I actually sat down on the dragon chair, Zhou Hao's expression became even more unnatural.
In fact, not only Zhou Hao, but also many ministers in the court also changed their expressions several times. Everyone knew that I had won the trust of the Human Emperor, but they did not expect that the Human Emperor would actually be willing to sit on the dragon throne with me.
At this time, several powerful auras came from the distance. When those auras came closer to me, I discovered that the people coming over were Prince Yun, Yan Shengjun and Yan Jin.
These three people also passed the dragon altar on the steps.
After coming up, they also found me sitting on the dragon throne. Prince Yun's expression also changed, but he quickly stabilized and saluted the Emperor.
The Human Emperor also immediately arranged for people to arrange seats next to his own seat for Prince Yun, Yan Shengjun and Yan Jin.
After Prince Yun arrived, he became the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. The leader only brought one person, and I knew that person. It was Chen Ming. The red monkey on his shoulder was particularly conspicuous.
After waiting for everyone to reappear, Li Qingmu still didn't appear, and I don't know where he went.
When everyone was almost there, the Human Emperor slowly stood up from the dragon throne, and I quickly followed suit.
The Human Emperor said slowly: "I have three important things to announce today, but before announcing these three things, let's watch a grand performance and have a sumptuous banquet."
As he spoke, the Human Emperor waved his hand, and everyone in the square under the dragon altar immediately began to dance.
This big dance with thousands of people looks chaotic at first glance, but if you separate the areas and look at them one by one, you will find that those people dance really well.
I had no intention of enjoying these dances, let alone eating the delicacies in front of me. I sat down on the dragon chair with the Emperor again, feeling uneasy in my heart.
I looked at the Human Emperor, and he sent a message to me and said, "I knew that once I get to this inner palace, I won't be able to hide many of my things from you."
I sent a message to the Human Emperor, what is his lifespan?
The Human Emperor said: "This is my fate. There is no other way. Why I have been anxious to destroy the Utopia, to pacify the northwest, and to check and balance the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance in the past few years is because I discovered early on that I only have a few years left. "
"I'm not just thinking about what the Three Saints said to me, I'm thinking about my own children."
"Prince Zhou Hao has indeed good qualifications, but it is difficult for him to assume the position of the Human Emperor. If he only deals with these people after he succeeds to the throne, the human race will fall into endless wars. When the time comes, the demon race and the third race will take advantage of it. If you enter in vain, the human race will be in danger."
"So I must leave him as stable a human race as possible before I die."
I didn't speak.
Because at this time Prince Yun had already raised his glass to propose a toast to the Emperor. While raising his glass, the Emperor pulled me up and asked me to drink with him.
Prince Yun frowned at first, then smiled and said, "Prince Chen looks a bit like sitting on that dragon chair!"
There is something in Prince Yun's words, and he wants to drive a wedge between me and the Human Emperor.
Before I could say anything, the Human Emperor said: "First-class Prince, if you can't look good sitting on this dragon chair, how can you be worthy of the title of First-class Prince?"
Hearing the Human Emperor's defense of me, Prince Yun knew that his provocative words were ineffective, so he remained silent.
Next, whether the old prime minister is toasting or some other important minister is toasting, the Human Emperor will take me with him.
While I was drinking, I also looked at Mr. Tuo on the first floor. He was standing over there, not knowing what he was thinking.
I followed his line of sight and found that he was watching the dance of those people under the dragon altar.
I took a few glances when I had time, and found that those seemingly chaotic dances were not without rules. They seemed to be showing us the course of a war.
Thinking of this, I frowned, and then asked the Emperor about the origin and meaning of this dance.
Hearing my question, the Emperor smiled and said: "The people dancing here are all from Jiyinfang, and the dances and music are also composed by people from Jiyinfang. Speaking of this meaning, it should be Ask Lian Jiale!"
After saying this, the Human Emperor looked towards Zhou Li and Chundie.
Chundie Lian Jiale smiled and said: "The war depicted in this dance is when His Majesty the Human Emperor first ascended the throne, the demon clan took advantage of the situation and invaded our human race, and was finally repelled by our human race."
"That was a crisis for the human race, but it was resolved under the leadership of His Majesty the Human Emperor, and the human race returned to its strongest position. Since then, it has almost completely suppressed the demon race."
When I heard what Lian Jiale said, I looked around the Dragon Altar. In the dance, there were people playing the role of kings and some playing courtiers. In addition to the grand war scenes, there were also fierce palace battles.
I saw this, Prince Yun also saw it, and frowned.
It seems that Prince Yun was also involved in the palace battles back then.
I don't know much about the history of the human race, so I was confused when I saw this dance, and I didn't understand it very well.
But the Human Emperor, Prince Yun, and many veterans who had experienced those people personally understood them all.
Many people have fallen into deep thought.
The old prime minister Lu Jingtian even burst into tears when he saw it. It was clear that he was deeply touched by it.
Maybe this dance made him regain his original intention, or maybe it made him see the regrets of the past. In short, he cried very sincerely.
Not only Lu Jingtian, but also many senior officials shed tears.
The Human Emperor was smiling, but tears were also flowing from the corners of his eyes. His tears were not sadness, but reluctance and helplessness.
The high and mighty Human Emperor cannot escape the restriction of life span. A generation of geniuses will eventually fall!
I was also quite emotional.
Lu Jingtian stood up at this time and said: "I am a minister of the late emperor. It can be said that I watched His Majesty the Human Emperor grow up little by little. His Majesty the Human Emperor pacified the chaos on the border and established political principles, which made the human race prosperous. Instead of thanking His Majesty for his contribution, we, the veterans, lie on the merit book and ask for credit from the Emperor, and even threaten him. As ministers, we, the veterans, are really, really incompetent for our duties!"
As he said this, Lu Jingtian suddenly knelt down and burst into tears.
Seeing Lu Jingtian kneel down, many people followed him.
The Human Emperor did not speak, but turned to look at Prince Yun. Prince Yun was stunned for a while, but also stood up and knelt down.
Yan Shengjun and Yan Jin beside him just knelt down.
After a while, the courtiers of Prince Chao Zhongyun's faction also knelt down.
What was going on in this dance that made these courtiers so panicked?
I looked around and couldn't see what was happening.
The curse walking insect said at this time: "What they danced is exactly what Lu Jingtian said just now. Lu Jingtian doesn't really know how to repent. His kind of old fox is just acting."
Indeed, although Lu Jingtian cried a lot, he lacked some sincerity.
For a moment just now, I was moved by his tears. Only then did I realize that what moved me was not the old prime minister's friendship, but his acting skills!
I took a deep breath, then raised my glass and took a sip.
I have no intention of kneeling down because I don’t want to hang out with those hypocritical people. (To be continued)
