The first thousand one hundred and forty-seven chapters
"See Mr. Xia, please come with us, Mr. Xia!" As soon as Xia Haoxuan and everyone arrived at the gate of the palace, several Golden Dragon Guards who had been waiting for a long time hurriedly greeted them.
When Xia Haoxuan heard the words of several Golden Dragon Guards, he just nodded and said nothing more!
"Huh? Didn't you say that the adults are allowed to attend the banquet? But why is this the direction to the court?" After walking with the Golden Dragon Guard for a while, Sheriff Gao suddenly frowned and asked.
Although Governor Gao was not very familiar with the layout of the palace, he had been to the court several times, so he was very familiar with the route to the court.
According to the rules of the royal family for holding banquets, it is impossible to hold a banquet in such a solemn place in the court hall!
"Your Excellency, I don't know. This is what His Majesty told me. I don't know the specific situation!" A Golden Dragon Guard heard Governor Gao's doubts and quickly explained with a smile.
When Governor Gao heard the Golden Dragon Guard's words, he felt a little more wary in his heart. He did not speak, but turned his questioning eyes to Xia Haoxuan!
Seeing the questioning look from Governor Gao, Xia Haoxuan felt puzzled as to what the Emperor of Da Qi was up to.
However, in line with the idea of taking it as it comes, Xia Haoxuan nodded without leaving any trace!
When Sheriff Gao saw Xia Haoxuan nodding, he said nothing more and motioned to the Golden Dragon Guard to continue leading the way!
"Master Xia is here!"
As Xia Haoxuan and the Golden Dragon Guard stepped onto the first step of the court hall, they heard the guards standing on both sides shouting in unison!
"Huh? So grand?" Xia Haoxuan looked at the posture in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little drummed in his heart!
Although he also knew that coming to the banquet this time might not be that simple, he did not expect it to be so grand.
"What on earth is the Emperor of Da Qi doing? He is just welcoming envoys from other countries, or great heroes who have returned to the dynasty, and it is not so grand!"
"Is it true that we are overthinking this? The Emperor of Da Qi really values you."
"But no matter how much we take it seriously, the welcome treatment is too high. Haven't you noticed that the blanket on the ground is a five-clawed golden dragon blanket? It seems that only His Majesty can step on it!"
"Is it possible that the Emperor of Da Qi wants to be on an equal footing with you?"
…
The county guards following Xia Haoxuan could not help but murmur when they saw the situation in front of them!
Obviously, the situation in front of them gave them all a big shock.
Because apart from seeing such a grand scene when the Da Qi Emperor ascended the throne, they had never seen such a grand scene again.
So when they saw Emperor Da Qi greeting Xia Haoxuan with such a grand scene, they were naturally very surprised!
"Master Xia is here!"
"Master Xia is here!"
Following Xia Haoxuan, every time he stepped onto a step, the guards on both sides of the steps would shout loudly, their voices getting louder and louder!
Although Xia Haoxuan only brought more than thirty county guards behind him, these people all had extraordinary status in the Daqi Dynasty, so each of them had a very powerful aura.
Xia Haoxuan is like a king, leading the generals, looking extremely majestic!
At this moment, the Emperor of Da Qi also led his ministers out of the court to greet Xia Haoxuan.
Looking at Xia Haoxuan walking up step by step.
The ministers behind Emperor Da Qi couldn't help but look at each other and began to discuss.
"This boy looks so dangerous now. If he grows up a little, he will definitely be the biggest threat to our Emperor, Da Qi."
"Not to mention a little growth, even at this moment, this kid has already shown his talents!"
"I really don't understand why Your Majesty pays so much attention to this son!"
…
"How is your injury, little friend?" What surprised everyone was that before Xia Haoxuan stepped onto the last step, Emperor Daqi came up to him and asked with concern on his face.
"Hiss...what on earth is going on!"
When everyone saw this scene, they all couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Especially the ministers behind Emperor Da Qi, all of them looked like they were hesitant to speak.
Although Sheriff Gao and others were shocked, they concealed it well.
After all, the better Emperor Da Qi treats Xia Haoxuan, the weirder it makes them feel and the more wary they become.
"Ahem! Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I won't be able to recover for a while." Xia Haoxuan coughed weakly and said in a weak tone.
Because Xia Haoxuan wanted to hide that his body had fully recovered, he deliberately reversed his energy and blood, making his face pale and weak.
It is estimated that everyone present except Governor Gao and Jiu Fei will think that Xia Haoxuan is seriously injured!
"This is the healing elixir I specially found for you. It should be useful to you!" Emperor Daqi took out a mutton-fat jade box and handed it to Xia Haoxuan.
"This care is really meticulous. It seems that His Majesty has never cared about anyone so much! How charming is this boy?"
When everyone saw Emperor Da Qi taking out the elixir and giving it to Xia Haoxuan, everyone's expressions were shocked again!
"Thank you!" Although Xia Haoxuan also felt that the Da Qi Emperor was too attentive, he did not refuse and directly accepted the jade box.
"Haha, you're welcome, little friend!" Emperor Daqi watched Xia Haoxuan accept the jade box, smiled and waved his hand.
"Ahem...I wonder why Your Majesty made it so grand? Didn't you say it was just an ordinary banquet?" Xia Haoxuan glanced around and asked in a weak and confused tone.
When Emperor Daqi heard Xia Haoxuan's words, he did not rush to answer. Instead, he turned to an eunuch behind him and said, "You come and announce it."
"嗻!" Upon hearing Emperor Da Qi's order, the eunuch immediately took out an imperial edict and began to read it out?
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: I regard myself as old. Although I have the heart to lead the people together to create a better future, I am unable to do so. After careful consideration, I am ready to take the Zen position!"
"What? Your Majesty is preparing to take the Zen position?"
"Why so sudden? This is true or false!"
"Who is this Zen position for? Is it for Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
"Nonsense, besides the princess, who else can we give the Zen position to in Daqi now?"
…
The ministers behind the Emperor of Da Qi burst into flames when they heard the edict read out by the eunuch!
Although everyone had already made some preparations for Emperor Da Qi's decision, they never expected that it would come so suddenly!
Xia Haoxuan frowned slightly when he heard the eunuch's words.
Didn't the Da Qi Emperor entertain him at a banquet? Why did he make an abdication now? What does this mean?
Behind Xia Haoxuan, Sheriff Gao and others all had puzzled expressions on their faces at this moment. Apparently they were also confused by the Da Qi Emperor's manipulations! (To be continued)
