Chapter 594: Royal Palace
Looking at the bottom of the flying car, countless beautiful palace maids were busy there, or playing, all kinds of picturesque scenery shuttled from under the flying car, bursts of refreshing fragrance, inadvertently filled his five internal organs, the source energy in the body trembled slightly, and there was a kind of flying vitality that was slowly triggered!
"This fragrance is a fragrance made by mixing the flower juice of more than 100 kinds of rare mutant plants in the sea of stars!" Luo Hanxing secretly explained to him with mental fluctuations, "It has the effect of eternal youth for ordinary people, and it has many benefits for the cultivation of high-star awakened people, such as refining physique, purifying energy, stabilizing genes, and so on!" It is said that one gram costs thousands of crystal nuclei! ”
"A gram of thousands of crystal nuclei?" He couldn't help but be a little shocked, "With such a large palace, there are no less than dozens of tons of essence that volatilize every day, right?" How much does it cost to afford it? ”
"Hey! This is true not just one, but all eight palaces! This is the grandeur of the royal family of a great country! ”
“……”
A few minutes later, the convoy landed on the square in front of the palace, and the big guys rushed out, lined up again, and under the guidance of a court lady, they walked towards the main entrance of the main hall with a humble expression!
In the main hall, His Majesty the Emperor, the supreme ruler of the empire, is reviewing documents behind the bookcase.
"Are they all here?" Putting down the light pen in his hand, he raised his head, looked at the officials in the hall, and asked in an indifferent tone.
"Back to Your Majesty! A total of 2,151 officials of all kinds who are qualified to meet this time are all here! The female officer replied in a solemn voice.
The emperor nodded his head and looked at the many courtiers under the jade star.
"Good day, Your Majesty!"
More than 2,000 officials bowed in unison, and their voices greeted respectfully and neatly.
"All the ministers are exempt!" The Emperor smiled indifferently. "The war on the front lines is tight. You can be mindful of your responsibilities. Do your best for the peace and stability of the Empire! My heart is very relieved! There will be rewards later! ”
"Your Majesty, defend against foreign aggression and defend the glory and dignity of the Empire! It is the duty of my courtiers! The ministers dare not take credit! Marshal Gurlons said in a deep voice.
"Imperial decrees, meritorious deeds, excessive punishments, rewards and punishments are clear! Only then can the whole heart be one, and the soldiers can use their lives! His Majesty said in a calm tone, "The Empire is in the midst of many events. An unprecedented invasion of a strong enemy, I hope that all the secretaries will work together to tide over the difficulties! There are those who have made great contributions, and I will not hesitate to reward them! ”
This is the emperor of the empire? Sure enough, the bearing is extraordinary!
Ye Qingyuan stood at the back of the generals, peeking at the middle-aged man with the most prominent status in the empire, he had seen it on TV before, and today was the first time he had seen a real person.
I don't know what the temperament of this majesty is, what kind of cultivation is! It is rumored that he is also more or less a monarch with some ambition and deeds. It's a pity that there are a few major families who are constrained by races and find it difficult to implement some of their own innovative policies at will. In fact, this is also a problem faced by the emperors of all dynasties of the empire! It is difficult for the wisest of the wisest to come up with effective means to solve it!
On the throne where the emperor was, there were several extremely obscure energy fields protecting it. Even with his perception, he can't penetrate it! It's just a matter of seeing how far this majesty's cultivation has reached.
In the wide hall, there were dozens of powerful auras faintly shrouded, especially the middle-aged purple-clothed court lady who was already old on the emperor's side, just one glance, he immediately lowered his gaze and converged all his brain waves!
The purple-clothed female officer with a good face and a demure and elegant demeanor raised her head consciously, glanced at him lightly, and when she saw the lieutenant general with a hint of childishness in her young face, her calm eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of new appreciation.
His Majesty the Emperor gave an impassioned speech, and then announced that a banquet would be held in the side hall to entertain the ministers.
After the big guy finished giving the salute, the palace maid led him to exit in turn.
In the side hall on the side, a banquet has already been set up, and all kinds of delicacies are served by the young palace maids dressed in white gauze, and there are special female officials to coordinate the order of seats!
Ye Qingyuan and the generals of the entire 17th Army sat at the same table, because they had fought side by side many times before, and because they were born and died, the relationship was not bad! Talking and laughing, the atmosphere is also harmonious!
His Majesty the Emperor only drank a few glasses at the beginning of the banquet, and then retired under the pretext of letting the ministers drink to their heart's content.
He was drinking with his colleagues, and before a few rounds, a female officer in red came up to him.
"Lieutenant General Ye Qingyuan?" She asked uncertainly.
"Yes!" He straightened his expression and said politely, "I don't know what's the matter with you!" ”
"Command! Let you go to the Xuanwu Hall to meet you immediately! The female officer solemnly announced.
“…… No problem! ”
His heart sank, what should have come is still coming!
The female officer in red walked unhurriedly in front of her, and Ye Qingyuan was two steps behind her, silently following her. Don't want to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way.
The Xuanwu Hall is not far away, but it will be there in a few minutes.
Before entering the door, he took a deep breath and walked in without looking back! It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse to dodge! Whether you can come out alive today depends on why God arranged it!
Entering the temple gate, the female officer led him forward, and came to a spacious study with an antique style.
He stood in the doorway, watching the female officer go in and make an announcement. Soon after, he came out and signaled that he could go in.
He hung his head slightly and entered the door of the study. The corner of his eye swept to the figure behind the bright yellow dragon gilt bookcase, and he didn't dare to look at it more, so he immediately bowed and saluted, and said humbly: "Lieutenant General Ye Qingyuan, deputy commander of the Seventeenth Extraordinary Legion of the Empire, meet Your Majesty!" ”
There was a dead silence in the study, no one spoke, and he didn't dare to look up, still waiting calmly.
After a while, a warm and peaceful voice sounded: "Yun Qing doesn't need to be polite, sit down and talk!" ”
A palace maid had already moved to her seat and sat down after saluting again. He really saw His Majesty's true face up close.
This majesty also has a twelve-star cultivation, but his breath is slightly scattered, and his energy is not pure enough, which should be because he has only been promoted for a short time. It's understandable to estimate and estimate, as an emperor. Occupied daily with important matters. It's hard to be like a normal awakened person. There's a lot of time to devote yourself to practicing! It's almost backed by almost infinite resources, and it can't be too high in cultivation!
Behind the bookcase, the emperor put down the documents in his hand and said in a harmonious voice: "Do you know why I summoned you alone today to meet you?" ”
"This ...... Your Majesty, please! ”
The corner of his mouth hooked a slight smile, and said, "I have already read your information, a genius born in wealth and grew up in the people, which really interests me!" ”
"You haven't been practicing abilities for long. It can even be said that it is very short, and you can grow to the height you are now, and even I have to be amazed at your talent! After joining the army, he has made many military exploits, and he is indeed a model for the emperor! ”
"Serving the Empire and being loyal to Your Majesty is the duty of our imperial people! Your Majesty's praise, the ministers dare not be ashamed! He responded warily.
The emperor smiled: "You don't need to be humble, this is your credit!" I don't praise someone for no reason! I called you here this time, first, to see what kind of person the youngest lieutenant general and Qianxing in the empire is, it's okay. Didn't disappoint me! You do have real skills, and you are not deliberately touted by the people below! ”
"Two. Your genetic sample has been analyzed and cracked by the Imperial Academy of Sciences, and it is indeed excellent! To this end, the empire will get many breakthroughs in the field of gene technology! It's all thanks to you! ”
He stood up, walked to Ye Qingyuan's side, saw that he was about to stand up, and waved his hand to signal that he didn't have to. He smiled and said, "You know? Not long ago, the empire's first seven-grade DNA awakening potion had come out! With the help of its efficacy, I was finally promoted to the 12th star! ”
Ye Qingyuan estimated and touched it, and said honestly: "This shows that Your Majesty's genes are also extremely good, but in his position, he has all kinds of opportunities, and he has no time to practice, otherwise with His Majesty's qualifications, he would have been a demigod a long time ago!" ”
"Haha...... You're honest enough! Not like those hypocritical old things! The Emperor smiled, "All right! The reward for you that time was still less, but I was a little stingy! This time, I will give you another rank of knighthood, from now on, you will be a third-class viscount! ”
He hurriedly got up and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love!" ”
"Well, this time, there's one more thing I want to tell you!" The emperor nodded his head and motioned for him to sit down again: "I already know the grievances between you and the Yun family!" I also know about the grievances between Cheng Guiyun and your father back then! I called you here this time to ask for advice, are you willing to reconcile with that family? ”
"What? Reconciliation? He was stunned.
Why didn't he estimate that His Majesty the Emperor would talk about this topic when he summoned him this time.
"Your Majesty! This question doesn't seem to be up to the minister! He hesitated and said, "From the very beginning, the minister didn't think about what he would get from the Yun family!" The minister didn't even know the grievances between Dao's father and the current head of the family, it might as well be that Cheng Guiyun had a ghost in his heart, but what did he do? Since he has to put me to death, there is nothing to say, although the minister's life is not valuable, it is not something that anyone can take away! ”
When the emperor heard this, he said, "I know that the main responsibility should indeed be borne by him!" However, I want to make it clear that the current empire is in an eventful time, and there is no room for internal strife! Both of you are loyal ministers of the empire, and both of you serve the country, so why cling to those old grudges? ”
Ye Qingyuan said very simply: "The minister can obey His Majesty's orders, so I don't know what the attitude of the head of the family is?" He dared to assassinate me, who was a high-ranking officer of the Empire, one after another, obviously not taking the Empire's decrees to heart! If he is willing to give in, it is better not to mention it! ”
The emperor nodded his head: "You can estimate it like this, I am very relieved." I will definitely help you solve this matter, you can rest assured! ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to the huge jade screen on the side, and said loudly: "Brother Yun, after listening to it for so long, you should also come out and make a statement, right?" ”
Ye Qingyuan stared at it with some incomprehension, not knowing which figure was hiding behind.
"Understood, Your Majesty!" A humanoid remnant emerged.
It was a middle-aged man in luxurious costumes, with a handsome face, but his eyes were dark and deep, and his expression was extremely indifferent and arrogant!
"Cheng Guiyun?" He asked, dismayed.
He had seen each other's photos before, but he didn't estimate that this culprit who had been hiding in the imperial capital and launched many assassination operations against him from afar would follow His Majesty the Emperor this time! I also met him on this occasion.
The current head of the Yun family, Prince Cheng Guiyun, glanced at him with a complicated expression, there was regret, envy, sadness, remembrance, and deep disgust and jealousy!
"Lieutenant General Ye Qingyuan, it's been a long time!" His Royal Highness the Prince said expressionlessly.
He exhaled slowly, his fists clenched and released involuntarily, and looked at His Majesty the Emperor beside him, he finally stabilized his emotions, and said slowly: "Your Royal Highness, I really didn't expect that we would meet here!" ”
"I've been wondering what way I should pay my respects to you if I could see you one day? If only you had a life alive then! ”
Cheng Guiyun smiled indifferently: "If there really is that day, there is only one possibility, that is, you were escorted to my eyes as a prisoner under the stars!" Lieutenant General, don't think that you are very powerful, if this king really wants to kill you, you have a hundred lives and it is not enough to die! ”
His eyes froze suddenly, and then he smiled softly: "Do you dare to repeat your words again?" ”
Cheng Guiyun ignored him, turned to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, you have also seen that this son is unruly and resentful, and he is an immature wolf cub!" If you use him again, you will inevitably become a ruthless and cunning person in the future! It was by no means a blessing for the empire, and the minister suggested that he should be stripped of his title and demoted to an ordinary soldier to make meritorious service for his crimes! ”
Ye Qingyuan's face remained unchanged, and the killing intent in his heart had boiled to the top!
Old thing, if it weren't for here, if it weren't for His Majesty's mediation, do you think you'd still have a chance to talk nonsense about me? I guess I looked at your daughter's face and let you go, since you don't know whether you live or die, you can't blame me!
The emperor said lightly: "Brother Yun, what you said is a bit too much! I also know about the events of that year, and even my imperial concubine suffered an unwarranted disaster! However, this is always your Yun family's family matter, and after all these years, it doesn't make sense to pursue it again! ”
"I have summoned you here to settle this grudge! No matter who was right or wrong before, don't dwell on it! Now that the Empire is in a difficult situation, it is natural to work together to help each other! There must be no more infighting! ”
"Ye Qingyuan has relied on his own efforts to get to this point, and all his honors are all earned by him from birth and death on the battlefield! It can be called a model for the people of the empire! There is no place to use your Yun family, why can't you tolerate him? ”
Cheng Guiyun was blushing and silent.
The Emperor added, "Here today, I will suggest a solution!" All the rights and wrongs of the past will not be mentioned here! How is it? ”
Ye Qingyuan said quietly: "Please make it clear to Your Majesty!" ”
"The previous head of the family, Yun Tianque, has expelled your father Yun Yuxi from the family race, and his name is no longer in the race tree, so naturally you have nothing to do with the Yun family!" The emperor said in a deep voice, "My opinion will be understood, let Prince Cheng Guiyun give you a generous compensation at one time!" And you made a public statement through the Imperial Superior Court, temporarily revealing everything you may have in the Yun family, and severing all ties with the Yun family! From now on, the two sides will go their separate ways, and there must be no more contradictions! (To be continued.) )
