Chapter 7: Hundred miles of dragons, thousands of miles of maple falling

"The king has arrived!"

With the sound of the eunuch's voice, the lively imperial garden suddenly became quiet, moving and quiet, forming a stark contrast.

"Ahem!"

In the sound of coughing, the Luan driver on the king of Qingxiao appeared in the eyes of everyone, mainly golden yellow, carved around the nine-clawed golden dragon, vivid, a total of twenty-four guards carrying the sedan chair, implying the twenty-four bridges and moonlight, hinting at the twenty-four solar terms, in the inferior countries, representing the extreme.

On both sides of Luan's driving, forty-eight maids serve on the left and right, their hands are folded and placed on their lower abdomen, each face is exquisite, and every step is a visual enjoyment.

"Get off the sedan car!"

The golden dragon curtain of Luan's drive was lifted by the maids serving on the left and right, and a plump and beautiful woman helped a man in imperial robes to get out of the carriage, and these two were the king and queen of Qingxiao Kingdom.

The two of them stand together, just like two worlds, if it weren't for the two wearing dragon robes and phoenix costumes, it is estimated that no one would think that they are a couple.

The queen is okay, perhaps because of maintenance, there are no wrinkles on her face, plus pink and light makeup, and a pair of red phoenix eyes containing a smile, noble and extraordinary.

But the king's state is very poor, only half a hundred, his temples have turned white, his long hair is black and white, the corners of his eyes are sunken, there are a few wrinkles around him, and his lips are white.

"This ...... How could this be?" After Li Tang saw the situation between the two of them, many questions appeared in his heart, in the Continent of All Nations, because of the aura, everyone can easily live to more than eighty, and with a little cultivation, the lifespan will increase.

The role of the owner of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, not bad treasures, only half a hundred years of life, is dull, this is very abnormal.

"See the king (father)!"

The ministers hurriedly saluted, and the careful Li Tang found that there were serious factional disputes in Qingxiao's country, and at least four princes gathered many ministers around them, and most of the ministers in the court were attached to the prince.

"It is a great plan for the country to form a party and the prince to participate in politics, and King Qingxiao will definitely be able to find out, since he has found out, why not manage it, unless King Qingxiao can no longer control the overall situation of the court, or rather, he looks like he is now, he is framed by others. ”

Li Tang combined his own experience and produced a terrifying analysis in his heart.

"Zhong Aiqing, please get up, today is mainly to welcome Xue'er's colt, so I called everyone together, it's a happy day, everyone is free to order, cough cough!"

When the king said Gong Bingxue, a smile appeared on his face, and then he began to cough violently, panting for breath in his mouth.

"Your Majesty, sit here!"

When the queen saw this, she quickly patted the king on the back with her hand and helped him to the throne on one side.

After sitting on the throne for a few minutes, King Qingxiao came back and said, "The banquet is over, go and call Xue'er." ”

"Yes!"

"Ding-dong......"

The sound of the silk and bamboo orchestral music sounded, and the beautiful tune echoed in the imperial garden, and in this elegant atmosphere, the banquet guests began to talk, drink, and enjoy the flowers.

"Li Tang, follow me to meet the people of the royal family. ”

I don't know when, Gong Bingxue walked up to him and said in a commanding tone.

In this regard, Li Tang didn't mind, and followed her to the royal table where King Qingxiao was located, there were a total of more than a dozen people, eating and eating in the midst of talking and laughing, serving vegetables, and looking kind.

"See the king, the queen. ”

Li Tang saluted slightly, attracting the attention of everyone who was eating, except for a few people who showed curious eyes, the rest of the people just glanced at it and continued to eat.

"This is my eldest brother Gong Xuanwu, second brother Gong Xuanyin, third brother Gong Xuanzhi, fourth brother Gong Xuanbin......"

Every time Gong Bingxue introduced someone, Li Tang called out cordially, and it took more than ten minutes to go down.

"Your name is Li Tang, right? From now on, we will all be a family! Don't stand, come and sit!"

The king, who was sitting on the top seat, pointed to the position next to Gong Bingxue and motioned for Li Tang to sit down.

"Originally, I wanted you to serve as the supervisor of the palace guard, but all the kings thought it was inappropriate, after consideration, I also thought that you had no merit in Qingxiao Country, and rashly promoted it would definitely not be in line with the process of official promotion, so I was ready to transfer you out, wait for a year later, make some merits, and then come back to marry Xue'er!"

Wang Shang continued after Li Tang sat down, and the content inside made Li Tang feel terrified!

The Praetorian Guard supervises the army, a high-ranking task, of which there are 150,000 people in the Qingxiao Kingdom Praetorian Guard, all stationed in Xiaoyun City, around the palace, guarding the royal family with the power of the stars holding the moon, in order to seek prosperity in the country, and it is the sword of the palace royal family.

It can be said that joining the army as one of the top five in the Praetorian Guard is really entering the power center of the Qingxiao Country, and if you get a position in the army in peacetime, it is a great thing, but now it is different from the past, and if you don't do it well, you will be killed.

King Qingxiao's body is weak, and even Li Tang, who doesn't know medical skills, knows that he is terminally ill, and now he is supported by his will.

The emperor, in the community, the emperor exists, the country is stable, the emperor falls, the world is turbulent, and now the Qingxiao country, the major forces are criss-crossed, once the king dies, it will definitely set off a monstrous wave.

The prosperous Xiaoyun City will become a powder keg, the power will be reshuffled, the Praetorian Guard will become the key to it, and mastering the Praetorian Guard will almost control the country, once you become a Praetorian Guard and join the army, you can imagine the end of Li Tang.

In short, the transfer of places is what Li Tang wants.

"At this time, there are two places for you to choose, one is Tenglong City ten miles away from Xiaoyun City, which is the rich and prosperous place of Qingxiaoyun, and the other is Fengluo City a hundred miles away, it is an ordinary small city, you can choose for yourself!"

The two locations mentioned by the king made Li Tang hesitate, if it was literal, it would definitely be Tenglong City, but after thinking about it carefully, it was biased towards Fengluo City.

"I choose Maple Fall City!" Li Tang said a choice that made them unbelievable.

The king was stunned for a moment, and said to Li Tang, "Can you think about it carefully?"

Li Tang nodded, and the king was not talking, and now every word he said had a great consumption.

Next, most of the palace ice and snow were talking to a few princes, saying some unnutritious words, and it could be seen that their relationship was not good.

It wasn't until the moon and stars were scarce that the banquet slowly ended, after all, it was just a meeting banquet, and it would not be held too grandly, and that night, Li Tang was arranged to live in the palace.

The next day, at the Qingxiao State Meeting, Li Tang was also invited, standing behind a group of ministers, and found that no one sat on the throne that represented the pinnacle of power and 10,000 people, and it was the four princes and his fiancée who presided over the court.

The five of them were in power at the same time, and it was very difficult to make a choice, and a court meeting that only took half an hour to complete was actually delayed for more than two hours.
