Chapter 994: Divine Might!
I greet Junjue, what is the name of that disciple of the Taiping Temple?
Hou Junjue told me that he was the proud disciple of the Taiping Guan Lord.
When I heard Lord Hou's words, I couldn't help but smile and said, "It's an old friend." ”
Lord Hou was surprised: "What, do you know this stubborn stone?" ”
I smiled and said: "It's not just acquaintance, his senior brother Michicho Aoki died at my hands in Liangchuan, and when I fought the final battle with Zhou Guangzu, if the stubborn stone hadn't run too fast, there would have been no such person in this world." ”
Hou Junjue said: "Aoki stubborn stone has always been the most outstanding disciple of Taipingguan, known as the Taipingguan Shuangjie, Aoki died in your hands, it is conceivable that Brother Kun's strength is also extraordinary." ”
I smiled and said: "If you want to kill someone, you don't have to rely on strength, you can solve it with your mind, at the beginning, luck accounted for a lot, and my strength was just average." ”
Hou Junjue smiled: "Your Highness said that you have always been very modest, and it is true. If it were someone else, I was afraid that it would have been on my lips for a long time, for fear that others would not know. ”
I smiled and said a few words of modesty.
Talking to Lord Waiting, we arrived outside the main gate of the palace.
The whole palace opened four gates, the north is called Xuanwu Gate, the east is called Qinglong Gate, and the west is called Baihu Gate, but the main gate in the south is not named according to the name of the four divine beasts, the reason is that in order to avoid the name of an emperor of Dayan, the name was changed and renamed Shenwei Gate.
In Dayan, there is a special institution that exists, that is, the Shenwei Battalion, which only obeys the emperor's orders and is not subject to anyone else's control, and is only responsible for guarding the safety of the emperor and the imperial palace, which is equivalent to the emperor's personal guard.
The current commander of the Shenwei Battalion is Hou Yibai, Hou Yibai, who also has a nickname, known as Dayan's first bodyguard, and his strength is unfathomable.
Hou Yibai was named a marquis because of his meritorious service in protecting the emperor, which was only one level worse than the duke with the highest title with a different surname, which can be regarded as reaching the peak.
Outside the Shenwei Gate is a huge square, there is a flagpole on the square, every morning at 6 o'clock, there are personnel of the Shenwei Battalion to raise the national flag here, many people get up early and come to the special trip, just to witness the solemn moment of raising the national flag.
Now that the time for raising the flag has passed, it is impossible to witness this grand occasion.
But standing in the square outside the Shenwu Gate, watching the flags fluttering on the towering flagpole, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in my heart.
This is the center of power in the country, and I will step through the gate today to receive the emperor's personal canonization.
The crown prince Murong Feng, Prince Yong, the prince Murong Xiongwei, the county lord Murong Ziyan and others were already outside the gate, and Hou Junjue took me to quickly walk over to meet Murong Feng and the others, and then walked to the Shenwu Gate together.
Since Shi Zhao, Murong Feng, and Prince Yong's entourage were not among the summonses, they could only wait outside the Shenwei Gate.
Crossing the Shenwu Gate, there is a huge square, guarded by the people of the Shenwei Camp on all sides, and it is heavily guarded.
In the center of the square there is a stone arch bridge, which is so wide that it can accommodate about four large trucks in parallel, and a river flows under the stone arch bridge.
Opposite the stone arch bridge is the world-famous Zhongzheng Palace.
In the past, I had only seen the main hall on TV, but I already thought it was magnificent when I saw it on TV, but now I am even more amazed when I see it with my own eyes.
The main hall is more than 20 meters high, covered with golden glazed tiles, in the middle of the gilded treasure top, looks golden brilliant, extremely dazzling.
The pedestal alone is about ten meters high, the stairs are all paved with white marble, this hall is definitely the most luxurious building I have ever seen, the prince's mansion, the palace of Prince Yong compared with it, it was overshadowed when it landed.
We walked up the stairs and walked to the front of the hall gate, and intuitively felt the height of the main hall, the two doors of the hall were wide open, each of which was five or six meters high.
Outside the gate of the temple stood a pair of guards of the Shenwei Battalion, all dressed in the exclusive uniforms of the royal guards, and the leader was equipped with a special badge on his chest, on which was a lion pattern, extremely powerful.
The lion badge is exclusive to the marquis, and different badges are worn in Dayan according to their ranks, among which the king's is the pattern of the king.
The dragon is a juvenile of the dragon, one rank lower than the emperor, the duke wears the unicorn coat of arms, the marquis lion, the earl tiger, the viscount leopard, the baron is the lowest, and only the bull is the symbol.
The leader wearing the lion badge is Hou Yibai, the first bodyguard of Dayan today, he is almost sixty years old, his hair is gray, and his face is wrinkled, but his body is tough, his eyes are bright, even if he doesn't know him, he can feel his extraordinary at a glance.
The crown prince Murong Feng had great respect for Hou Yibai, and when he stepped forward, he greeted him first, Hou Yibai nodded, then looked at us and asked, "Which one is Mo Xiaokun?" ”
I hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully, "Commander Hou, I'm Mo Xiaokun." ”
Hou Yibai glanced at me, a light of surprise appeared in his eyes, as if he didn't expect me to be so young, and then quickly retreated, and said, "Well, the Holy Lord is already waiting for you inside, come in." ”
Immediately we stepped into the temple gate.
The hall of the main hall is extremely large, larger than a meeting venue, and it is no problem to accommodate more than 1,000 people at the same time.
And the main hall is also advancing with the times, please well-known designers specially designed, inside set up bright yellow crystal headlights, under the illumination of the crystal headlights, it is even brighter.
A wide dragon chair was set up on the high platform opposite, a white tiger skin was laid on it, extremely noble, and there was an old man sitting on the dragon chair, who was about the same age as Prince Yong, and his appearance was quite similar, but he was more old and sick than Prince Yong.
"Ahem!"
I had only walked a few steps when the old man on the dragon chair coughed a few times, it seemed that his body was really not optimistic, and he didn't know how long he could last.
There were already two rows of people standing on either side of the high platform, and all the members of the cabinet had arrived, including the current head of the administration of Dayan, the head of the administration, Yan Gongquan.
Yan Gongquan is a member of the advanced party, in the last election the advanced party won, Yan Gongquan entered the cabinet, and most of the current cabinet members were nominated by Yan Gongquan and approved by the emperor.
This is the right of the first assistant, and once he wins the election, he can form his own cabinet and control the administrative power of the whole country.
Generally speaking, the emperor would not interfere with the exercise of power by the first assistant.
Opposite the queue of cabinet members are the members of the royal family, Murong Hang, Murong Siqi, Murong Qi, Murong Qing, Murong Ning, Murong Jiansheng and others are impressively listed.
In addition to the members of the royal family and the cabinet, there were several others standing respectfully aside, one of whom was none other than my old acquaintance, the stubborn stone, who was supposed to be canonized today.
When I saw this scene, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous, wondering if I should kneel down and salute like I did on TV.
When they were in doubt, Murong Feng, Prince Yong, Murong Xiongwei and others bowed to the emperor and said, "See the Holy Lord." ”
I did the same, and bowed and saluted.
In fact, with the changes of the times, the etiquette of kneeling and kowtowing has long been abolished, and it is now difficult to see a large scene of kneeling in front of the emperor.
The emperor on the dragon chair smiled and said, "No need to be polite, who is Mo Xiaokun?" ”
I was flattered when I heard the emperor call my name, and I hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully, "Holy Lord, I am Mo Xiaokun." ”
The emperor looked at me and said with a smile: "Sure enough, you are a talent, no wonder several princes have mentioned you in front of me." Do you know what you're called for today? ”
I hurriedly replied, "I know, the Holy One wants to knight me." ”
The emperor coughed a few times, and then smiled: "Well, in Dayanli, people who have not made outstanding contributions to the country and society cannot be knighted, originally with your qualifications, you can't be knighted, but someone has been recommending you to me, and this time I will make an exception to make you a baron, I hope you will not disappoint me and the person who recommended you in the future." ”
I hurriedly assured the emperor that I would behave well.
Then Yan Gongquan walked out and said, "Holy Lord, it's time to canonize." ”
The Emperor nodded and said, "Announce it." ”
Yan Gongquan then took out an edict and read it out on the spot.
This edict was drafted by Yan Gongquan on his behalf, and its form and content were written in full accordance with the ancient edicts, and finally the name of the emperor was very formal.
