Chapter 151: Commander of the Praetorian Guard
The court, the most sacred place in the Celestial Empire, is also the real cabinet head of the Celestial Empire.
The gate of the court, which had not been opened again for three years, with a "squeak", dozens of soldiers rushed up and pushed open eight doors at the same time,
Hao Yunzheng and Ye Zhengxiong stepped into the court at the same time and stood in the center of the court. The dozens of soldiers were divided into sixteen teams, each with six people, and they were guarding the door at the same time.
In front of the dragon chair in the court, a wide chair was placed at this time, and the chair was carved with a python soaring. There is also a long table in front of the chair, which is the same table and chair used by the former king to discuss the government.
The acting king, to some extent, is actually the same as the emperor, but the acting king cannot be regarded as orthodox. Therefore, only a true emperor can sit on the throne of the dragon. Except for the emperor, even the acting king is not eligible. If the acting king insists on sitting on the dragon chair, it will be an enemy of the world, and the final outcome will still not escape a dead end.
Hao Yunzheng stepped up the steps step by step, came to the python seat, lifted the hem of his clothes, and sat down directly.
Ye Zhengxiong didn't follow, just stood below and watched, his eyes flashed with a different color, his face was a little excited, and he secretly thought to himself: "The third brother is so bold, he pedals on the python so easily, and he doesn't feel the slightest pressure!"
Hao Yunzheng raised his eyes slightly, looked at Ye Zhengxiong below, his face was not emotional, and said lightly: "Give Ye Aiqing a seat." ”
As Hao Yunzheng's voice fell, the two of them immediately rushed into the outside. These two people are holding floating dust in their hands, wearing inner palace official robes, and they are the eunuchs in charge of the palace.
The two eunuchs came in and immediately knelt on the ground: "See the acting king." ”
As the two knelt on the ground, four little eunuchs hurriedly walked in behind them, one of them, carrying a wide chair, walked in and placed them aside.
"Thank you, Acting King, for your seat. Ye Zhengxiong also knew that this was the court, and there were no brothers above the court, only monarchs and ministers. Therefore, he didn't have the slightest shelf, hugged Hao Yunzheng, and then came to the chair and sat down slowly.
"Flat. Seeing Ye Zhengxiong sitting down, Haoyun Zheng waved his hand to the two chief eunuchs below and said.
As the two of them got up, Hao Yunzheng's ears moved slightly, and then said: "You two wait outside the door, I have something to discuss with a few generals, so don't come and disturb." ”
When the two eunuchs heard this, they bowed again, and then slowly withdrew from the court.
As the two eunuchs exited the court, the sound of armor colliding sounded, and four armored men walked in outside the door.
Three of them were dressed in black gold armor, one was dressed in gold robes, and all of them had swords at their waists, which were the sword-bearing guards in folklore, and they were the commanders of the four Praetorian Guards of the world's first army.
"Ministers, see Acting King. As soon as the four of them came in, they immediately knelt down and bowed to Haoyunzheng.
Hao Yunzheng's eyes slowly scanned the four people, and he found that although these four people knelt on the ground for him, their eyes kept on him, as if they were observing something.
A smile of contempt slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth, Hao Yunzheng did not immediately let the four of them get up, but leaned back on the chair and said lightly: "For this king, a small seat of acting king cannot make this king sit on pins and needles." You don't need to observe. ”
Hao Yunzheng's voice fell, and the faces of these four people changed greatly.
They were indeed observing Hao Yunzheng's actions, and according to their guesses, although Hao Yunzheng was strong in the past, he should not be able to sit in the position of acting king and be so calm.
It's just that when they observe now, they find that Haoyun Zheng is not only very calm, but also seems to be a little disdainful of the position of this generation of political kings. And what Hao Yunzheng said just now seemed to have something to say, which made several people's hearts beat wildly.
What is a small acting throne? Isn't a small acting throne still enough to satisfy you, you want to be the emperor, but you can't be the emperor? The four of them flashed this thought in their hearts almost at the same time, but no one spoke.
Hao Yunzheng still didn't mean to let a few people get up, but said lightly: "I think you should also know my current identity? But it doesn't matter, what I want you to understand is your identity, I don't know if you understand?"
The four of them were slightly stunned, and then said in unison: "The ministers are the leaders of the Royal Praetorian Guard, and they have the heavy responsibility of guarding the imperial city, and the ministers will never forget this." ”
A subtle smile slowly appeared on the corner of Hao Yunzheng's mouth, and he said lightly: "Very good, in that case, you guys get up, I have something to announce." ”
"Thank you, Acting King!" Hearing this, the four of them hurriedly saluted Haoyun Zheng, then bowed to thank him, stood up, and stepped aside.
Hao Yunzheng looked at the four peerless masters in front of him. Three of them are strong people in the infancy stage, comparable to the little monk who couldn't let go of it when they met at the beginning. There is one who is countless times stronger than the little monk who can't let go, and it turns out to be a strong man in the god forging period.
Such unfathomable four powerhouses knelt on the ground, which made Haoyun Zheng feel a refreshing feeling in his heart. That's probably what the higher-ups like the most. That is, the world chases a lifetime, but few people can achieve the feeling.
"Closed door......" As the four of them got up, Hao Yunzheng waved his hand again and said lightly.
As Haoyun Zheng's voice came out, the soldiers outside immediately poured in at the same time, closing all eight gates.
The candles in the court seem to never go out, although it is midnight at this time, it is pitch black, but the surrounding candles still illuminate the court as bright as day.
Hao Yunzheng coughed lightly twice, and finally said loudly: "Here, this king doesn't want to talk too much nonsense. Before the Acting King left, he must have already explained today's events. In that case, let's get straight to the point. ”
As he spoke, Hao Yunzheng looked at the four Praetorian Guard leaders and said, "The four of you will report your names first." ”
The four of them were slightly stunned, but then, the head of the Praetorian Guard took the lead and said, "Weichen Tu Gang." ”
"Weichen Deng Guhong. ”
"Weichen Lu Shang. ”
"Weichen Fan Bing. ”
As Tu Gang reported his life, the three commanders behind him also reported their names one by one.
Tu Gang was wearing a golden battle armor, a sword hanging from his waist, and his sturdy body looked majestic, and standing there faintly gave people a feeling of being overwhelmed by a mountain.
Deng Guhong is a person with a somewhat cold and arrogant face, and he has no expression except for facing Hao Yunzheng, or facing the position where Hao Yunzheng is sitting.
Lu Shang, on the surface, is a very calm person, and he is obviously a scheming person.
Fan Bing, between movements, gives people a sense of atmosphere, and judging from the faint smell of blood emanating from his body, he is obviously a generation of killing gods, and he is an unprovoked character.
"Tu Gang, Deng Guhong, Lu Shang, Fan Bing. Very good. Hao Yunzheng sat up slightly, whispered the names of several people, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Suddenly, his face turned straight and shouted: "Tu Gang, Deng Guhong, Lu Shang, and Fan Bing stepped forward to listen to the order. ”
