Chapter 370: Right?
You know, I have heard this dragon cloak say that it is the highest reward for the royal family of Qingyun Kingdom to reward meritorious generals, of course, it is not just a merit that can be obtained, it must be done after the combat merits have reached a specific standard!
Among the famous generals of the Qingyun Kingdom in the past dynasties, for thousands of years, there is only one person who has been rewarded with a dragon cloak, that is, as a general, he is not injured for a hundred miles!
And at this moment, my Prince Wuling was rewarded with the dragon cloak at the same time, which shows how much Her Majesty the Empress appreciates us, in her heart, our military exploits this time are already the same as a hundred miles without injury!
As for Prince Wuling's protector, not to mention, it is almost under one person, above ten thousand, plus his status as a prince, he is extremely respectful, his status is transcendent, and he is completely above the civil and military officials!
And my position as the Imperial Taibao is relatively inferior, to put it bluntly, I am still the Imperial Guard, but I have one more official rank, and my status is one level higher than that of other Imperial Guards!
At that moment, everyone around me, while chanting the Empress Shengming, and congratulating me and Prince Wuling, all looked at me with complicated eyes, and at this moment these people couldn't figure it out, because in this war, I occupied a very leading role, and unceremoniously said that although Prince Wuling was the commander-in-chief, it was my military advisor who really led the victory of this war. So according to the reward, the empress shouldn't just give me a pre-imperial protector.
In this case, some people looked at me with a little unworthy in their hearts, while some people with smart minds looked at me with a hint of deep meaning, realizing that the empress must have another purpose in doing this.
Naturally, I don't care about these, because I know in my heart that if the empress seals me a big official at this moment, such as the Hou Ye, the king or something, it will be tantamount to pushing me in front of the public, in that case, it will be too high-profile, and it will definitely be suspected and suspicious by the male emperor!
After all, the Empress is still protecting me by doing this!
Therefore, I did not have the slightest dissatisfaction in my heart, but was very calm.
At this time, after Prince Wuling and I expressed our gratitude, the two eunuchs took out the golden dragon cloak from the brocade box, and then respectfully draped it on the backs of Prince Wuling and me.
"The prince is mighty!"
"Master Strategist, mighty!"
At that moment, Prince Wuling and I, at the signal of the empress, stood up, and there was another excited shout around us that shook the heavens and the earth.
Subsequently, under this lively atmosphere, Prince Wuling and I, as well as hundreds of civil and military officials, followed Her Majesty the Empress and returned to the palace under the escort of thousands of Praetorian Guards around us.
After arriving, at this moment, in the imperial palace, a celebration banquet had already been prepared, and this celebration banquet, in order to treat us well, the empress specially prepared the highest specifications of the royal family of Qingyun Kingdom.
As the protagonist of this celebration banquet, Prince Wuling and I naturally sat in the next position closest to the empress, and soon, after the civil and military officials were seated, with a burst of clear court music, a team of court dancers, wearing charming neon skirts, danced on the stage in the center of the main hall!
"This time to quell the rebellion, the prince and Ye Taibao have made great contributions! Come, I will give you a glass first!" The empress sitting on the throne at this moment was almost full of joy, her jade hand was gently raised, holding a glass of imperial wine, and she said to me and Prince Wuling!
Prince Wuling and I quickly stood up, and after saluting first, we clinked glasses with the empress and drank them all!
At this time, the surrounding ministers of civil and military affairs also politely congratulated me and Prince Wuling!
Got the supreme glory, at this time, Prince Wuling, almost full of joy, facing everyone's toast, without any excuse, almost to the end of the glass, after a while, he was a little drunk!
And I, although I also had a smile on my face, dealing with the civil and military officials around me, but I deliberately controlled the amount of alcohol, and my mind remained sober.
Because I noticed that there was a faint trace of worry in the way the Empress looked at me with that bright smile! She was only afraid that I would expose myself if I drank too much at this banquet, and I secretly gave the Empress a reassuring look.
The Empress was very pleased to see me so cautious and wise, and secretly nodded to me in appreciation.
At the same time, during the banquet, I always keep an eye on the situation outside!
After learning that the commanders and generals of nearly 100 rebellious countries had been taken to the palace prison all the way unharmed, I was also relieved! In the previous defeat of the coalition forces, the commanders and generals of many countries were captured by us, and the others either died on the battlefield or committed suicide, and very few escaped!
And these captured by us are naturally to be brought back to the Imperial City of Kyoto and wait for the Empress to dispose of them.
What awaits them will be the most brutal capital punishment in Qingyun Kingdom.
Just when I was perfunctory to those civil and military ministers on the surface, thinking about those trivial things in my mind, suddenly, with the chanting of a eunuch outside the main hall, the entire Imperial Palace was suddenly quiet!
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
Immediately, as soon as the shout fell, I saw the male emperor, dressed in a golden dragon robe, surrounded by several guards and palace maids, walking in with a smile on his face!
"Minister!
"Greetings!"
Immediately afterwards, the civil and military ministers in the main hall, after a short period of stunned, stood up one after another, and saluted the male emperor, I and Prince Wuling, also followed everyone, respectfully opened their mouths to greet them, only the female emperor, sitting on the throne, looked indifferent.
"Hehe, let's be exempt!" Listening to the compliments around him, the male emperor smiled, his face was full of spring breeze, waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down, and then said with a casual smile: "Such a grand celebration banquet, I also came to join in the fun, but I won't take the lead, hehe." ”
Laughing, the male emperor took the wine from the eunuch next to him, walked in front of me and Prince Wuling, looked at me first, and then said to Prince Wuling, his tone was very pleased and appreciative: "Hehe, this time to quell the rebellion, you are a great contribution, in just a few days, you will beat those traitorous troops to the ground, it really makes me look down on you, come, I respect you twice!"
"Your Majesty!" Listening to the male emperor's praise, Prince Wuling was very useful, and his vanity was also greatly satisfied, but he did not have the slightest look of pride, but smiled humbly: "Your Majesty Liao praised, isn't Your Majesty still clear about the ability of your subordinates?" Hehe, speaking of which, this war still depends on the advice of the military advisor, otherwise, how can it be so easy to rely on me alone?"
Worst!
Hearing that Prince Wuling said me without hesitation! My heart suddenly struck! I had a bad premonition! At the same time, the empress sitting on the throne also frowned slightly, and her face changed faintly!
At the same time, the atmosphere of the entire Imperial Palace was also a little subtle, and it gave me a very depressing feeling! And the surrounding civil and military ministers also focused their eyes on me!
"Oh?" Hearing Prince Wuling's words, the male emperor smiled, a little stunned, then turned his head, and looked at me with interest, his face was very indifferent, but those eyes looked at me with deep meaning, giving me an invisible sense of oppression, as if, at this moment, I was seen through by him.
"I didn't expect that Ye Taibao was so young and had such a deep knowledge of the art of war!" Then, the male emperor looked at me with a smile and continued slowly!
"Uh...."At that moment, under the gaze of the male emperor, I was almost uncomfortable, and I had a feeling that I was being seen through by him, but I still secretly calmed myself down, and then smiled humbly: "Your Majesty said this, I look up to it too much, and I just have a few more books of the art of war, and when I was fighting against those rebels, I also had the attitude of trying, but I didn't expect it to work by mistake!"
"Hehe, you can not be arrogant or impatient after making great achievements, not bad!" Seeing me say this, the male emperor nodded in admiration, and then looked at me with a smile: "But I believe that if you are a talent, you will definitely get ahead!"
As he spoke, he seemed to deliberately move closer to me, lowered his voice, and his tone was also with a hint of deep meaning, and continued: "I remember a saying, 'It's gold that always shines', right!
it!
Hearing the last sentence, especially when I saw the male emperor's face with deep meaning, I was shocked in my heart, looked at him blankly, and forgot to answer, because the sentence he said, 'It's gold that always shines!' is not a famous saying of the Xuanzi Continent at all, but when I was the prince and the prince before, the professor Huang Xin had said it at that time, and later Huang Xin told the male emperor this sentence.
