Chapter Seventy-Three: Tournament Rewards
In the early morning of the next day, the Cold Moon Empire was in court.
The court of the Cold Moon Empire was set up in one of the largest palaces of the imperial palace, the Chaoyang Palace, and as before, when the genius was just slightly bright, the Chaoyang Palace was already full of ministers, waiting for the court to discuss the matter.
It's just that before today's discussion, His Majesty the Emperor still has an extremely important thing to announce, that is, the commendation order for the top three in the Imperial Imperial Competition, as for what kind of commendation, they don't know, but it is precisely because they don't know that they are more looking forward to it.
"His Majesty the Emperor—here!"
A moment later, with the two loud announcements of the chief of the palace guards, all the ministers stood solemnly, and the military generals stood in two columns, respectfully welcoming His Majesty the Emperor.
In the ranks of the civil officials, the first in line was Nicolas Junt (Duke), who was the Prime Minister of the Empire, the supreme head of the Cabinet, and after the Prime Minister stood the Minister of Justice Budeson Kenas (Earl), the Constitutional Governor Onno Siliet (Earl), the Chancellor of the Exchequer (Marquis), the Minister of the Interior Dogger Korqin (Earl)... Wait a minute.
On the other side, the military attachés standing were Ron Locke (duke, marshal), Secretary of State Kustan Yuke (duke, president), chief of staff Jakla Swat (earl, president), quartermaster Nock Warat (earl, president), chief of the Guards Odo Nemar (marquis, president), and then the supreme commander of each legion... Wait.
Under the gaze of everyone, after a few breaths, the young emperor Phonk Palus appeared in the front of the court in a wheelchair under the impetus of a court maid.
Everyone shouted and saluted!
"Let's start!" After glancing at the court, seeing that everyone had arrived, Emperor Feng Ke immediately signaled to the chief of the guard beside him.
"Yes!" the chief of the guard immediately responded, and then announced loudly: "Xuan, the top three in the royal competition enter the temple to face the saint!"
In the next moment, all the ministers stood sideways, their eyes burning at the figures of the three young people who were gradually walking outside the hall.
They are Hua Yun, Xue Jie and Markham, and at this time they are already known as the three imperial heroes of the younger generation of the Cold Moon Empire.
At this time, the footsteps of the three of them were calm and powerful, and they already had the majestic momentum of the superiors, while Xue Jie and Markham were like frightened rabbits, looking trembling, obviously they had never seen such a big battle from low backgrounds.
The three of them walked up to the steps of the throne and began to salute respectfully and knelt down on one knee.
"Hua Yun, you performed very well in the Imperial Competition!" said the pale Emperor Bazik in a slightly flat tone.
Hua Yun once again made a standard aristocratic salute, "Thank you, Your Majesty, this is completely due to Your Majesty's blessings!"
Feng Ke nodded with satisfaction, and then moved his fingers slightly, and the chief of the chamberlain on the side immediately took out the appointment letter of the military department and read it out loud: "Appoint Hua Yun, the winner of the 48th Imperial Competition, to join the military department, with the rank of captain of ten thousand, and after he officially graduates from the Imperial Royal Academy, he will take up his post immediately!"
"Wow!"
There was an uproar in the court!
"Damn, fifteen-year-old commander?" Someone among the military attaches immediately whispered his dissatisfaction, "Lao Tzu fought for the empire dozens of times, and he didn't become a commander until he was thirty-nine years old, but this little ghost ......"
You must know that it is a captain, basically equivalent to a brigadier general, as long as you take a little further up, it is a general-level commander, and he is still so young, how can this not be shocking.
"Forget it, who called his father a relative of the emperor!" The commander on the side was more open, shook his head lightly and whispered comforting.
“......”
Hearing this appointment, Hua Yun's heart was also shocked, and boundless joy immediately surged into his heart, and his goal was to finally take the most important step.
Therefore, as soon as he stood up, he stepped on the stairs and respectfully accepted the order of appointment.
At this time, seeing his son receive such an honor, Count Auror, as a father, was also very honored, and his excitement was beyond words!
Soon, Xue Jie and Markham were also commended, but the positions they got were much worse than Hua Yunlai's, only a centurion and a chief.
And after announcing the appointment, His Majesty Feng Ke also said that he was tired, and directly canceled the following proceedings, and then left directly with the Queen Mother, when the protagonists were gone, their ministers naturally had to leave one after another.
It's just that outside the gate of the Chaoyang Palace, Marshal Ron stopped Hua Yun, "Hehe, young people are not simple!"
His scheming appearance was uncomfortable to look at, even the smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Where, in the future, you will have to rely on Lord Marshal!" Hua Yun was very modest, at least on the surface.
It's just that after just a few glances at each other, Marshal Ron already had a keen sense that this Hua Yun was not a simple character, so he walked out of the main hall with a happy smile, "The Fire Empire has produced a young famous general Rufis Apache over the years, I hope you can also become the Ruphes of our Cold Moon Empire, hehe!"
Looking at Marshal Ron's fading figure, Hua Yun's eyes suddenly darkened, although his words just now sounded like a compliment, but in fact they were warning himself not to think too much about his rights.
This is completely the threat of Chiguoguo!
It's just that in the face of such a threat, Hua Yun showed extraordinary calm.
......
Imperial Women's College, back mountain hut.
In the morning, when Hua Long was dressed in a decent standard aristocratic dress and was about to go to the women's college to officially start the first day of classes, he was pulled out by Jing Yi.
"Come with me, okay? I want to see someone off!" Under the sun, Jingyi's smile was so pure and beautiful, like a crystal gem, shining slowly.
"Okay!" Hua Long readily agreed, after getting along last night, although the two did not pierce the last layer of window paper, but the relationship between them seemed to be one step closer.
And the person Jingyi is going to send at this time is her eldest brother, Baron Neret Andrew.
A few days ago, the famous Marquis of Kefer took her eldest brother Neret to his mansion, and in just one afternoon, Neret came back as if he had changed a different person, and the previous melancholy and silence had completely disappeared, and he always inadvertently put an excited smile on his cheeks.
It's just that what makes Jingyi uneasy is that no matter how she asks, Nelie always says two words proudly: "Secret!" and then he will say: "Let those guys who should look down on me see, this time I will definitely do something big!"
Even at this time, Nilie didn't know where Jingyi was going or what to do, but just told her that she was going to go far away, and it might take a long time to come back, so in desperation, Jingyi could only come to see him off, and the reason why she wanted to pull Hualong was to give her eldest brother a chance to meet him!
On the side of the road, Nere's carriage stopped, and when he saw his sister and a young man approaching, he was immediately surprised, and then stepped out of the carriage and stopped in front of them.
"Hello!" Hua Long saluted the other party very politely.
"Who is she?" Baron Nilie ignored Hua Long's greeting, but raised his eyes to look at Jing Yi with a slightly displeased expression.
"His name is Hua Long, and he is also a student of our Imperial Women's Academy!" Jing Yi replied.
"You know that's not what I'm asking!" Baron Niret suddenly raised his voice, and there was a hint of doubt in his tone.
Of course he knew that Hua Long was the only male student in the Cold Moon Empire Women's Academy, and even he, a person who only knew how to immerse himself in reading and researching all day long, was a little unheard of.
To be honest, Nilie didn't have any prejudices against Hua Long, and he also understood what Jing Yi meant by taking him out to see him at this time, but as an elder brother, he naturally hoped that Jing Yi would live well, and Hua Long's reputation was really ...... He didn't want his baby sister to live a life of blindness for the rest of her life.
"Brother, Hua Long is not what you think, he actually ......" Jing Yi wanted to speak and stopped, he didn't want his brother to misunderstand Hua Long's personality, but Hua Long's matter He also promised the crazy old man to keep it a secret, so at this time, she was suddenly in a dilemma.
"Forget it, I'm in a hurry, let's talk about this matter after I come back!" Seeing that Jingyi was still defending Hua Long, the displeasure in Nilie's heart suddenly became even stronger, but at this time, he was in a hurry to dig the Moon Spirit Grand Canal, so for the time being, he was really lacking in skills, so after dropping a sentence, he didn't even hug and got into the car directly.
And looking at the carriage of her eldest brother Nilie gradually moving away, Jing Yi refused to withdraw his gaze for a long time, and Hua Long did not speak, he knew that Jing Yi must be very sad at this time, but parting is like this, even if he is reluctant, he can't keep it, so Hua Long can only look into the distance and swear secretly to Baron Nilie in his heart:
Don't worry, I will definitely be good to Jingyi and won't let her be bullied in the slightest!
It's just that Hua Long's oath was not fulfilled in the end, and not long after, Jingyi was involved in the factional dispute that she could have stayed away from because of the matter of Baron Nilie, so she almost became a victim of the political struggle, of course, this is a later story, not to mention it for the time being!
