Chapter 1604: Emperor Xiao Chenguang
Kowloon City
Coming to the imperial capital again, it is still the same here, there is no change, the life and death outside does not affect the atmosphere of singing and dancing here, here, whether it is the commoners, or those nobles who have declined, they all think from the bottom of their hearts that the imperial capital is the safest place in the world, even if the outside world is chaotic, it will never change here.
But is that really the case? They are all still alive in the past glory of the Hongyu Empire!
Speaking of which, Wu Yi also has a Hou Mansion in the imperial capital, but when he really came, it was only a handful, to put it bluntly, this Hou Mansion was used by Wu Yi to brush up on the sense of existence among the high-level nobles, for this reason, Wu Yi specially selected a nobleman who was good at socializing and stationed in the empire for a long time from the nobles who were attached to Hulu City, and his daily task was to participate in various banquets, brush his face, and do propaganda for Hulu City.
The results are not bad, this period of time not only has the prestige of Hulu City increased a lot, but also magically developed a lot of commercial orders. Communication is also a kind of ability.
In fact, with the opening of the troubled times, with the defeat of the Hongyu Empire on the battlefield again and again, there are less than three nobles who are truly wholeheartedly loyal to the empire. Most of the aristocracy believes in the supremacy of interests, and some aristocratic families with capital are busy betting in this troubled era, wanting to make the family go further in the future, and even more, with the intention of replacing it.
The graduation ceremony of the Military God Academy is scheduled for tomorrow, because the Hulu Academy meets the recommended standards, and can send one borrowed student to the Military God Academy and the Zhishi Academy every month, but due to the frequent wars and the busy territory affairs, so far, Hulu City has only sent one Zheng Chenggong to enter the Military God Academy, and his fleet that does miscellaneous work is temporarily taken over by Ling Tong.
When he arrived in Kowloon City, Wu Yi did not go directly to his Hou Mansion, but turned to visit Yunfu on the street, before Yun Lin specially sent a housekeeper to deliver a letter to Hulu City, so that he would go to see him immediately when he arrived in Kowloon City, and he didn't know what was going on. In terms of the situation, the east is much stronger than the west, and compared to the West Sea, which has completely collapsed, the situation in the East China Sea is also very good.
"You're finally here, come with me, Your Majesty wants to see you!"
When he arrived at Yunfu, Wu Yi hadn't even drunk the hot tea, and was pulled out of the door by Yun Lin in formal clothes again.
"Your Majesty wants to see me?" Wu Yi was a little surprised, for the matter of seeing the emperor, the system is extremely restrictive, he is a title marquis, and he has never seen the emperor's true face until now, and he is drunk when he thinks about it.
"Not bad! Your Majesty is very pleased with your achievements, so he has decided to summon you, this is a rare opportunity, you must seize it. Yun Lin said with a posture that I am very optimistic about you.
Opportunity?
An opportunity indeed!
Although due to the limitations of the system, the emperor cannot reward the Chosen One at will, but Wu Yi's merits have far exceeded the level of the marquis, but they have not reached the standard of the title of duke, Wu Yi wants to directly take the step of an ordinary duke, so he asked Yunlin for help, and has maintained the title of the marquis at the moment.
However, although the title can't be moved, the emperor receives his subordinates and rewards some rare gadgets, isn't it too much?
Wu Yi followed Yun Lin into the Imperial City, this empty island almost fell in the original battle of Emperor Wu's fall, but now it has already fully recovered, and time has swept everything.
When the emperor received Wu Yi, he was not in the Shenwu Hall where the previous dynasty was playing, but in a magnificent attic called Ziyun Pavilion.
"See!" Wu Yi followed Yunlin and saluted the emperor sitting on it. There is no need to kneel and bow to the emperor in the Hongyu Empire, it is very concise, and this will not make the Chosen One too uncomfortable.
"Aiqing is flat!" The emperor's voice was extremely warm, and it sounded like a spring breeze caressing the face, which was very comfortable.
"Sit down!"
After taking his seat, Wu Yi finally had a chance to take a closer look at the emperor's appearance.
Xiao Chenguang looks very young, in fact, he is indeed very young, only thirty, he is the sixth grandson of Emperor Wu, not the son of Emperor Wu, with Emperor Wu's exaggerated lifespan, let alone his son, his grandson is almost dead. Therefore, the title of "prince" of the Hongyu Empire has a high gold content, and those who are called "princes" have the right to inherit the throne, and not the emperor's son will necessarily be the prince, only those who have enough ability and have passed the clan test will be awarded the "prince" number.
Therefore, since Xiao Chenguang was able to obtain the "Prince" at the beginning, he would definitely not be too watery, and his ability would definitely be stronger than most emperors in history.
"May Day Aiqing has repeatedly made miraculous achievements for the country, the east, the south and even the East China Sea, all because of Aiqing's efforts to maintain the current situation, originally the Union wanted to summon you a long time ago, I want to see what kind of talent can achieve such a feat in a short period of time, but I haven't found time." Xiao Chenguang looked at Wu Yi, who was sitting precariously, and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty has praised it falsely, this is a matter for the ministers!" Wu Yi replied humbly, and at the same time scored the emperor in front of him in his heart. "Unification" and "martial arts" are not mentioned for the time being, "wisdom" and "politics" should not be low, and the current mess of the Hongyu Empire is not his reason, it is completely caused by external factors, and it is quite rare to be able to maintain this situation.
At least as an emperor, his ability is qualified, but with this ability, the chances of reviving the empire again are very small, and with his current prestige, many things are not something that he can say alone.
"Aiqing's merits, Lian Ke is not false praise at all, if it is not limited by the ancestral system, Liandu wants to directly crown you as the Duke of Zhennan."
Zhennan Gong?
Don't!
Now nearly half of the land in the south is in the hands of Xiao Mingsheng, the king of Dongping, if he is named the Nangong of Zhenzhen, won't he be forced to meet Xiao Mingsheng! Now his strength is far from being able to do this, and going up is kneeling.
"Weichen doesn't dare to have extravagant hopes, now that he can be the marquis, he is already deeply favored by the emperor."
"What an extravagant hope! As long as the merit arrives, the alliance will never be stingy with rewards! Now, for the time being, let's make Aiqing the general of the Third Army of the Imperial Tomb. ”
- System: Congratulations on being awarded the title of "General of the Third Army of the Imperial Tomb", receiving the title of "Imperial Tomb Guard", and increasing your reputation by 100,000.
What the heck?
The general of the Third Army of the Imperial Tomb?
Imperial Tomb Guard?
What is it? What's the use?
"Thank you...... Thank you, Your Majesty! Wu Yi was completely stunned, what is this? has no head or tail, and besides, he has only heard of the Imperial Tomb Guards, what are the Imperial Tomb Guards? Or the general of the Third Army.
However, Xiao Chenguang didn't explain much, and after chatting with Yun Lin for a few more words, he asked the guards to send the two away.
