Chapter 47—The Royal Audience
Lu Deng was not particularly familiar with the source of this voice, but Shi Lanbo immediately heard who this voice source was, "Haha, Yun'er is also here, I'm afraid what you said before has been heard." Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info hahaha!"
Lu Deng's face was blushing, and he glanced at Feng Shanshan and saw that her face was still as usual, as if she hadn't heard what the two of them said, she was still eating the mutton in the copper tripod in front of her, and her complexion didn't show any change at all, except for a burst of mist that shrouded her eyes because of the hot soup, she seemed to have not thought of Shi Lanbo and Lu Deng talking. Just when everyone didn't notice her, she quietly smiled and put a piece of mutton into her mouth and showed a subtle smile on her lips, a smile that no one noticed and saw. At this time, the three people who walked in and stood side by side were Feng Yuchong, Nangong Yun and Yu Fei, and Lin Xuejun didn't come because she was not familiar with the other two teenagers, and besides, she had escaped from the family for so long, and if she didn't go back, the family didn't know how to blame her. Therefore, Lin Xuejun returned to his family location first halfway and came to Xuancheng again when he had time.
Nangong Yun looked at Lu Deng in front of her with a smile, she was very aware of Lu Deng's careful thoughts, it seemed that at this time, Feng Shanshan did not hear what he said, as if she did not say anything about it, which made Nangong Yun a little confused. Yu Fei beside her didn't care much about this, she was more concerned about her own people now, and this Ming saintess who hadn't returned to her own people for a long time was now a little nostalgic for her own people. It was precisely because of this that her expression looked a little absent-minded, as if she hadn't noticed the situation.
Feng Yuchong also understood Lu Deng's careful thoughts, but they had just returned to Xuancheng when the New Year was approaching, so they naturally didn't care much about the other things. So, Feng Yuchong also picked up another pair of chopsticks on the table, and said with a smile: "It's rare for everyone to get together, it's better not to think about other things now, by the way, I haven't eaten this copper tripod boiled mutton for a few days, I have to taste it first." Well, it's still delicious, and the taste is still almost the same as before. ”
After Feng Yuchong's interruption, Lu Deng's original embarrassment quietly disappeared with Feng Yuchong's words, and he immediately picked up the copper spoon next to him, gently pounded it in the copper ding, scooped off the foam floating on the soup with a copper spoon, and then raised the wine bottle and said with a smile: "Okay, since it is such a day worth celebrating, let's not mention the matter of the two of us again, come, let's have a drink!"
Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, Nangong Yun and Yu Fei's positions had already been prepared, and the sake had already been poured in the wine bottle, the four of them sat down separately, and raised the wine bottle together with Lu Deng's words, and the sound of heavy impact sounded immediately, and it spread full of warm emotions. They are comrades-in-arms who fight side by side, and they are also good friends who are close to each other, and all words of comfort do not need to be said, and an unprecedented tacit understanding rises from the bottom of their hearts and ripples in everyone's hearts.
When the wine was half-drunk, Shi Rambo's usual cold temperament softened today, and he said with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for many years, and we have always worked hard for the country of Qi in our respective places in the past. It's been a long time since we've seen each other, of course, this time, Lu Deng and Sister Yue and I followed Uncle Shi's side, and at the same time, with the help of my aunt, we successfully assisted His Majesty Xuan Lejun to restore the orthodox rule of the Qi Kingdom, at this time, I would like to hear if your gains in the Nine Domains are worth our attention to the Lost Continent, which has been floating and sinking for more than three hundred years. How?"
Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two brothers and sisters, were very happy in their hearts, especially at this time when Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing were still in Xuancheng, which was also the most celebratory thing for them, plus Xuan Lejun was back in charge of the Qi State, the Qi State would definitely be more prosperous, and even have the power to defeat the Feng State. And their harvest in the Nine Domains can also be said to be quite fruitful, not only got the strong support of the two, but also found a piece of land with a long history of inheritance, and also obtained a creation artifact on the Nine Domains Qimen Bagua, although they can't directly use the power of Qimen Bagua now, but once possible in the future, once they use the most powerful harmony power, they can directly use the most powerful harmony power of Qimen Bagua, what this power is They are not clear, but it will inevitably be a kind of power that changes life against the sky。
Feng Shanshan told Lu Deng and Shi Lanbo everything that happened on the Nine Domains in detail, and also told the news about the Land of Heavenly Hell, which is a paradise and ancient capital hidden in the long river of history since ancient times, and it is also a place where the dragon clan thrives and grows up. Because of the ups and downs, the dragon clan was wiped out, and the land of hell became barren and no longer had any life. But in the future, if they can really rebuild this place of hell in some way, maybe it will really become the place where they serve as "guardians".
After the situation of the Nine Domains was finished, these companions who had not been reunited for a long time also began to talk about other things. This banquet lasted until midnight, and after the meeting, the group returned to Feng Yuchong's restaurant together, resting together to prepare for the pilgrimage to meet Xuan Lejun tomorrow, and at the same time preparing to meet new tests and missions. They all knew for themselves that Xuan Lejun would inevitably reuse them, and at the same time, he would directly assign them new tasks. These tasks may be about the closure of the country, or they may be about leaving the country, and the specific situation is not easy to say.
..........................
Before dawn on the second day, Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, Yu Fei, and Nangong Yun, four young people who had not yet been officially appointed to official positions, followed Shi Lanbo Lu Deng, who had been named high-ranking officials, and set off towards the Xuancheng Palace. With the collapse of the power of Li Dan and Li Fu's father and son, the chaos and instability that originally shrouded Xuancheng, the capital of Qi, now came to an end with Xuan Lejun's return to the Xuancheng Palace. With his excellent political ability and personal charm, Xuan Lejun only took less than half a month to control the situation in his own hands. Even the court meeting, which had been stalled and never started, began immediately after half a month, and it has been three days since then.
Three days ago, Xuan Lejun in the court also threw out his own excellent means, he pardoned all the courtiers who had been loyal to Li Dan and Li Fu's father and son, but demoted them to one level, and at the same time invited several old ministers who were on the throne a few years ago, most of these old ministers have retired due to old age, at this time Xuan Lejun invited them out again, with their status and prestige, it was natural to deter a group of courtiers who were still unwilling. The Great Dynasty Meeting also unfolded smoothly and continued to this day, and the ministers have also adapted to Xuan Lejun's way of rule, but they still feel that sometimes they can't keep up with Xuan Lejun's footsteps, and his thinking rotation speed is really a little fast.
After stabilizing the situation, Xuan Lejun immediately divided several of his most trusted courtiers to seize the throne, including Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing, two key figures who were now in full charge of the vital organization of the Demon Spirit Secret Envoy. Xuan Lejun directly re-gave the title of their father Xia Yu to Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing, but Xia Qing received the title and gave him the title of king. And immediately named Feng Baiyi as the prince, in Xuancheng gave Li Dan's prime minister's mansion, after a month of renovation and rectification, it officially became the residence of the two couples, and now these two couples can be said to be the courtiers with the greatest authority under Xuan Lejun, because Xuan Lejun has not re-enshrined the position of prime minister, so the two of them are now completely described as influential figures, and their every move will attract a lot of attention. Some courtiers sometimes want to impeach them for being too meritorious, but they are afraid of the invisible demon spirit envoy in their hands, coupled with the protection of Xuan Lejun, they naturally dare not go to any impeachment, otherwise it will be their death.
But this double prince has caused a lot of repercussions in the Qi country, and there was only one prince in the Qi country at the beginning, and it was a god of war who had never been defeated in his life to have this honor. But now, the husband and wife are all knights, and they are in their forties, which will cause a lot of repercussions anyway. In the past two days, a folk wind search envoy sent by Xuan Lejun has already reported the news obtained by the people to Xuan Lejun. The people still have a lot of complaints about this double prince, and a large part of the people don't buy it.
Xuan Lejun didn't care about this, and still insisted on giving Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing the same title. Not only that, at the court meeting on the second day, Xuan Lejun also officially appointed Shi Lanbo, the commander of the Qingxuan Army, as the governor of Lingcheng, commanding and controlling all the affairs of Lingcheng, and even the news of the military can be decided on its own without reporting to the imperial court, and he is allowed to take office after the New Year; Lu Deng is the envoy who stays behind in Ruocheng, leading 50,000 elite troops to station in Ruocheng and Donglinguan, waiting for cracks in the feudal country, and once there is an opportunity, he will immediately dispatch troops to exert pressure on Zhongcheng. Then, Xuan Lejun also made another jaw-dropping decision, he abolished the arrest warrant issued by the Lu family's rebellion that year, and only pursued Lu Yi alone, declaring that the Lu family was not rebellious but loyal. At the same time, Xuan Lejun made Lu Deng the county marquis, and officially served as the head of the Lu family as the marquis of Ruocheng, and was also allowed to take office after the New Year.
As soon as these two orders were given, the court exploded instantly, if it was barely reasonable at the beginning, now these two canonization orders are really unpredictable. Xuan Lejun had no doubt that he would hand over the 80,000 army to the two young men who were only twenty-four years old with complete confidence. It's really incomprehensible that in order to entrap Lu Deng, he did not hesitate to restore the family for him and appoint him as the head of the family.
Before the start of the court meeting on the third day, Xuan Lejun first got the news from the secret agent, he learned that Feng Yuchong and their group of adventurers from the Nine Domains had returned and would come to see him today, Xuan Lejun immediately remembered this matter, he specially learned about the background of these four young people, and found the most critical means to envelop them. For him, these young men were his most important arms now, and he could see in them the vigor of integrity and bravery, which all courtiers did not have. So, even if it's just because of that, he has to reuse them.
