A high-pitched voice full of breath.

Suddenly, there was silence in Wanhua Palace, and more than thousands of people were standing.

Lu Qingping also immediately straightened up and looked towards the place where the voice came from.

The Great Sui Emperor Zhao Cambodia is here.

The person who spread the voice just now should also be a eunuch, but listening to his majestic voice, it is obviously a person in the martial arts, at least the existence of a great grandmaster.

The Emperor arrived.

Immediately, more than thousands of people in the square bowed down and saluted: "Long live Your Majesty My Emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Hundreds of officials and ministers hold jade gui in their hands, and it seems that generals like Lu Qi also have jade gui in their hands.

The holy places of the three religions and the famous families only bowed down and said, "Meet Your Majesty." ”

More than 3,000 people knelt down and prostrate.

Dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe and wearing an imperial crown, he was only in his fifties, but he looked more like Zhao Cambodia in his sixties and said with a smile: "Don't be polite." ”

Lu Qingping watched the emperor get off the dragon sedan chair, and walked straight to the highest dragon chair in the hall and sat down, and everyone sat down one after another.

The young man looked up at the emperor Zhao Khan, who was known as the emperor of the Great Sui "Zhongxing and Expanding the Land".

His complexion was fair, but not healthy white, but somewhat sickly, causing his body to look very thin, but at this moment everyone's eyes were focused on the emperor's body.

After everyone is seated.

Zhao Cambodia looked at Lu Qingping at this time, and beckoned to the young man with a smile: "This is Ping'er, she has become a young man." Come, come to me. ”

At this moment, countless pairs of eyes were once again cast on Lu Qingping.

Unlike the time he entered the door, this time Lu Qingping was a little caught off guard.

Although today was a reception banquet for him, he was suddenly called by the most powerful person on the earth to come to his side, and he couldn't help but feel a little unprepared.

But after all, he was a person who had even seen Zhang Sanfeng, the second old immortal in the world, and laughed and talked happily, so he packed up his mentality at this time, left his seat, and walked onto the high platform.

There were countless pairs of eyes in the audience, witnessing the young man walking towards the emperor.

These eyes were all kinds of eyes, but they were all well hidden, just waiting for the emperor to say something next.

After Lu Qingping went up to the dragon platform to see it again.

Everyone knew that the main event of the state banquet was coming.

At this moment, from the hundreds of officials and ministers, to the three famous sects, to the nine streams of the common people, their eyes fell on the two protagonists today.

One is the emperor and the other is Lu Qingping.

Zhao Cambodia first waited for Lu Qingping to get close and then took a good look, and a trace of gentleness flashed in his eyes, as if he wanted to find the shadow of another girl from the young man.

Qingyang should be as tall as this kid......

In just a moment, Zhao Cambodia suppressed the trace of missing his daughter, and then the voice came out, facing the thousands of subjects in today's Wanhua Palace, as well as the three famous sects.

"Do you subjects, do you know why I want to use the specifications of the state banquet to welcome the return of the son of King Wucheng?"

"Ministers are stupid."

Immediately, a group of officials bowed their heads, saying that they did not know.

The people of the four major families in the seat looked at these people indifferently, sneering in their hearts, and at the same time they didn't make a sound, just quietly watching what tricks the emperor was going to play with Lu Qi's son today.

Zhao Cambodia withdrew his gaze from Lu Qingping, and then faced everyone below, his voice was smooth, and he said eloquently:

"I ascended to the Great Treasure twenty-eight years ago, mastered the artifact for twenty-eight years, and never changed the era name, and now it is the twenty-eighth year of the emperor."

"My emperor has worked hard to govern the country, and in the past 28 years, the wind and rain have been smooth, which is the luck of the community and the great sui."

In addition to the unannounced attitude of the three famous sects, the officials and ministers are long live the mountain.

Zhao Cambodia continued: "Before I succeeded to the throne, there had been thousands of years of turmoil in the world, and the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were even more chaotic than the Three Kingdoms period.

The Spring and Autumn Ten Kingdoms have not been at war for a year, and there is no day when our Great Sui will no longer worry about the invasion of enemy countries.

Until...... That day three hundred years ago.

Battle of Tang Chu.

The Northern Tang Dynasty began to compete with Chu and destroyed the Six Kingdoms successively.

A hundred years ago.

Our Sui also took advantage of the situation and destroyed the two countries in a hundred years.

The last kingdom of the Spring and Autumn Period, two points before the world, was destroyed at my hands.

After Emperor Shenzong a hundred years ago, I once again opened up the territory of the Great Sui. ”

But before the ministers could speak again with compliments.

Zhao Cambodia continued to say to himself:

"Sui is a small country in the Spring and Autumn Period, eleven years ago, Sui was able to destroy Shu with the strength of the country, but it was the aftermath of the two emperors of Fen'yong' and 'Zhen', not my work."

"A small country is weak, can not be good at fighting, the destruction of Shu is a necessity, Sui does not destroy Shu, Tang will destroy Shu, and then Sui lost Shu land and natural danger, the Northern Tang Dynasty will drive straight in, straight through the door of our country, so, eleven years ago, I decided to order King Wucheng to send troops to Shu, it took half a year, a war to destroy the country."

Lu Qi bowed to the emperor, but did not say a word, and sat quietly in his seat.

No one in the Wanhua Palace was making a noise, and they were all quietly listening to Emperor Zhao Cambodia speak.

Zhao Cambodia's voice was steady.

"Ten years ago, my Great Sui did destroy the Shu Kingdom, but it also exhausted the national strength because of the First World War. The national strength obtained by the recuperation of the two emperors of Yong and Zhen was wiped out in the first generation of me, with an unprecedented loss of wealth and land, and a greatly reduced number of soldiers. ”

"At that time, the enemy Tang was in the north of the world, and he wanted to go south all the time, if they went south eleven years ago, although Sui still had elite soldiers, but it was just a situation where the fish died and the net was rotten, and the country was ruined."

"Under such circumstances, the defeat of the First World War, the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species, only in an instant."

"However, God helped the Great Sui, how could I expect that at that time, the royal family of the Northern Tang Dynasty had a change, and with the change of the Xuanwu Gate, it was difficult for them to take care of other things, and I also decided to send Qingyang, the pearl of me, and Qingping, the son of King Wucheng, to the Northern Tang Dynasty as hostages, in exchange for not surrendering the alliance for the time being, in order to take advantage of the national strength to survive, to protect the people, keep the soldiers, restore vitality, and then make a plot."

At this time, Zhao Cambodia looked at Lu Qingping and sighed: "Now, ten years have passed. ”

"This decade has not been an ordinary decade, and it can be called a decade that has never been seen for a thousand years."

"For thousands of years, there has not been a day when the ten nations have stopped fighting each other, but in the past ten years, the world has been at peace."

"How did you get these ten years, it is my beloved daughter Qingyang, and the two children of Qingping, the son of King Wucheng, who used their ten years of youth to exchange for the people of the world."

"Without these ten years, it would be impossible for the Great Sui to recuperate, and it would be impossible for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, so!"

The emperor's face suddenly became majestic:

"This! It is the reason why I want to be the hero of the country and the hero of the people of the world, and I like him to return to the country! ”

At this time, on the square in front of Wanhua Palace, hundreds of officials and ministers, three famous sects, and the people, whether they are willing or sincerely grateful, are all shouting:

"Princess Qingyang, the prince of Qingping, the merit is in the contemporary, and the benefit is in the country!"

Seeing this, Zhao Cambodia nodded and said to the red-clothed eunuch Chen Zilian: "Announce the decree." ”

Under the gaze of the four major families, people have different eyes.

Chen Zilian, the head of the inner house, began to proclaim:

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Shengren Guangyun, where the sky is covered with earth, do not respect the meritorious person......

Lu Qingping, the son of King Wucheng, has meritorious service in protecting the country, and his name is in accordance with the will of heaven in the world, and he gave Lu Qingping the county lord and the fief of Qingzhou Lotus County, which can recruit 3,000 soldiers. ”

In addition, Lu Qi has made great contributions to the change of law in ten years, and its benefits are in the future, and his son can be after King Wucheng, hereditary replacement of King Wucheng, Qin this! ”

Hiss~~

One decree, two blessings!

As soon as this holy decree came out, it immediately made the hundreds of officials and ministers in the audience and the families of famous clans gasp in their hearts.

The Xiangshan Academy and the Danxia Blessed Land in the Holy Land of the Three Religions are still not aware of anything.

After all, they don't care much about the affairs of the court.

The real scholars in the academy have been studying the truth of knowledge all their lives, and they don't care much about these fame and fortune.

Only Meng Hanchan, who is friends and teammates with Lu Qingping, is more concerned and shocked by the magnitude of this reward.

The four great families and hundreds of officials and ministers were directly shocked.

Zhou Dunhuang, the head of the Zhou family, Zhou Junbai, the elder of the Li family, Li Zheng, the successor Li Xiao, the head of the Wen family, Wen Shengde, the inheritor of the Wen family, Ye Fuyang and Ye Canghai.

Ye Canghai's phoenix eyes narrowed, "Hereditary recklessness, actually going to become a little prince?" ”

The father and son of the Zhou family exchanged glances with each other at this time, and they both showed full solemnity.

"Hereditary replacement! King Wucheng is hereditary! ”

Zhou Dunhuang's heart was difficult to calm down.

The content of this decree is too shocking.

When the holy decree announced that he would grant the county lord and the fief of Lotus County in Qingzhou in the north could recruit 3,000 soldiers, he already felt that this gift was enough.

Three thousand conscription qualifications.

You must know that 3,000 elite soldiers are the power that can directly step on an old Jianghu sect.

For example, Zhang Sanfeng did not come out of Wudang Mountain before, and there were only second-rate sects of Zhao Qilu and a few Taoist priests.

As long as 3,000 elite soldiers go over, there is no slag left that can directly crush the mountain gate.

said that it was a recruitment, but in fact, he only needed Lu Qi to transfer 3,000 people from the Zhenbei Army to his son, and the transition was easily completed.

A person who comes back as a hostage for ten years can give birth to a county lord and lead 3,000 soldiers as soon as he returns.

But the emperor had already said it to that point, what kind of peace has not been achieved for a thousand years, it is all thanks to the ten years of peace that these two young men exchanged for the people of the world, and according to the military merits after the restructuring of the Sui State, this reward is indeed appropriate.

How could I have expected that there would be a hereditary replacement behind him!

King Wucheng was hereditary.

Zhou Dunhuang could still calm down and not speak.

However, not far from him, the head of the Wen family gave Wen Chengen, who was the left attendant of the central government's department, with a look.

This official left waiter was assigned by the head of the family, and immediately stiffened his head and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers privately think that the son of King Wucheng is still a gift, this hereditary recklessness, it is a bit violated, since the founding of the country, I have never had a hereditary reckless example, Your Majesty This kind of gift, it is too much, please think twice." ”

The Wen family took the lead, and immediately all the officials with clan forces among the hundreds of officials and ministers stood up, and all kinds of different voices appeared:

"Your Majesty, no!"

"Hereditary recklessness violates the ancestral system!"

"Please also ask Your Majesty to take back your order!"

As the protagonist of this incident, Lu Qingping had no psychological fluctuations, just staring at these people who stood up and disagreed with the emperor with interest.

"These people should be Lu Qi's next opponents."

Lu Qi didn't open his mouth at this time.

It stands to reason that at this time, he should also stand up and excuse himself decently, saying that Hong'en is too thick for the dog to dare to receive, but Lu Qi did not move, he looked like he was all listening to the emperor's decision.

Moreover, what the emperor wants to do today is not finished yet.

And that's just the beginning!

Zhao Cambodia's eyes lightly glanced at the people who stood out, and his tone was calm: "Didn't you ministers hear the holy decree clearly just now?" ”

The emperor spoke, and the ministers were silent for a moment.

They each waited for the emperor's next words with heavy faces.

Zhao Cambodia looked at Lu Qingping and said: "I gave him the title of Qingping, which is to thank him for ten years of peace for the people of the world, and the merit is in the present generation, and the gift of hereditary replacement is given to King Wucheng, who has implemented a new system of law change with the prime minister for ten years, which is beneficial for thousands of years, and deserves this honor." ”

One is to reward Lu Qingping, and the other is to reward Lu Qi.

Although Lu Qingping has benefited, her name is different.

"The minister has objections."

At this time, it was still Wen Chengen, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, who gritted his teeth and admonished again: "The ministers privately think that the new system has not been able to verify whether it is a feasible plan for thousands of years, and it is really inappropriate to reward Wu Chengwang now." ”

Over the years, Lu Qi has long been in a difficult position, and with the powerful forces behind Lu Qi in charge, some of the actions of these family clans have become timid.

I thought that Lu Qi had already been the ultimate minister and could not be sealed, but I didn't expect that he could be sealed again......

This is absolutely to be opposed.

The more powerful Lu Qi became, the more dangerous they became.

However, Zhao Cambodia finally waited for this time.

Shifted the topic to the new system.

The Emperor smiled.

The old foxes of several major families in the audience all turned dark.

"Wen Chengen, this pig, the emperor has been waiting for us here for a long time, and he specially handed the conversation to send it!"

Even the head of the Wen family was so angry that his chest rose and fell.

But they also knew in their hearts that even if Wen Chengen didn't talk like a pig at this time, there would be other people arranged by the emperor to come out and change the law.

At this moment, they all realized the true purpose of today's state banquet.

It is necessary to integrate the general trend of public opinion with the reform of the Sui State when Lu Qi's son returned.

Next, it is the turn of the emperor, who is the best at playing with people's hearts, to guide people's hearts.

Lu Qingping had already learned the purpose behind today's state banquet from Mr. Guo Xiaoren, and at this time, her eyes glanced at the emperor obliquely, and said in her heart:

"Now, it's time for you to start putting on a show."

He also wanted to see how the emperor could open the door to the last imperial examination from this.
