Chapter 78: Imperial City Sight
When it came to the exchange ratio, the city lord's eyes inadvertently fell on the portrait on the bookcase, and he immediately changed his words. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
Cang Shilan was also reluctant to change it immediately, because he turned Rex into a flaming pig's head, and then spit out gold coins, wondering if he would be regarded as a heretic by the city lord and tied to the stake and burned to death.
Cang Shilan saw that the city lord's gaze fell on the bookcase from time to time, and he was curious, he didn't know what kind of interesting book it was, so he didn't forget to peek at it when he was dealing with official business.
So the fire of gossip in Cang Shilan's heart began to burn, stretched his neck, and looked at the bookcase.
Instead of a book, there is a portrait on the bookcase.
It is a full-length portrait of a man with long blond hair hastily tied into a ponytail, a delicate appearance, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, lips painted with vermilion, and a wide light blue robe, tied by a belt, which looks elegant and chic.
Isn't this the blue of the sky?
Cang Shilan was taken aback and blurted out, "Why do you have my portrait?"
The city lord smiled and said, "Naturally, someone gave it." β
On the Pige Continent, Cang Shilan has no acquaintances, and Gilbert, the general of the Elite Forest, is barely an acquaintance.
Cang Shilan asked tentatively, "Is it General Gilbert?"
The city lord scoffed: "Gilbert is a martial artist, and he can't let me obey orders." But this guy is really lucky, I don't know what credit he made, he was actually promoted to major general, the same level as me, what an enviable little guy. β
"And how did you get my portrait?"
"Hehe, you can't even think of it even if you want to break your head. β
Cang Shilan sighed secretly, it seemed that the city lord wanted to play tricks again, and he refused to simply tell him who provided the portrait.
From Platini to the lord of the city, from the elves to the Pigs, there was no one who wanted to speak heartily.
Don't they know that when they talk halfway, chrysanthemums are stabbed by thousands of people?
But fortunately, the city lord seemed to know this famous saying, and when he saw Cang Shilan's face full of doubts, he smiled and said: "You kid is lucky, this is the portrait of Emperor Wuya Sujit himself, and it uses the highest-ranking flying eagle script." β
It turned out that after the stone tablet, that is, the Wizard's Eye, was destroyed by the two-winged argloroid sheep, everyone thought that Cang Shilan was in a catastrophe this time, and sighed that beautiful things were always like electric dew, and they disappeared in a flash.
Unexpectedly, on the afternoon of the third day, Qin Tianjian found that the adjacent wizard's eye had spotted Cang Shilan's figure.
Supervisor Brian immediately informed Emperor Uyasujit of the news.
Uya Sugit once again led the important ministers of the imperial court to the Qin Heavenly Prison, but because there was no discussion about the fortunes of the Pigs this time, many ministers of the elves and other races also accompanied him.
Unexpectedly, the elven ministers had a worse ill feeling towards Cang Shi Lan than the very few Pig ministers who were jealous of Cang Shi Lan, and the sewage sprayed towards Cang Shi Lan as if the floodgates had been opened.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, this person has oily hair and powder, fancy clothes, and is clearly a grandstander, and he must not be used. β
"Your Majesty the Emperor, this man is a prodigal son with light speech, frivolous demeanor, and frivolous steps. β
"Your Majesty the Emperor, the law stipulates that you don't keep your head if you keep your hair, and you don't keep your head if you don't keep your hair. Your Majesty, as long as you reward me with a military order, I will personally lead the army and behead this fang!"
"Your Majesty, this person has no title or position, but he raises a high-level demonic beast Flame Demon Pig, and his rebellious heart can be revealed. β
Some of the criticisms are well-founded, some are chasing after the wind, and some are even not at all. But the most heart-wrenching thing is what Ji Xiang Abrodi said.
The four phases of Pig, the Prime Minister Hubert of the Pig, the Jacob of the Pigs of the Asians, the Elves of the Season Phase, and the Hemingx.
Abrody hit the nail on the head and pointed out the crux of the matter - the Flame Demon Pig.
The Pigg Empire is highly hierarchical and severely cracks down on transgression.
The youngest son of Axiang Jacob was only fifteen years old, but he was just curious, and after riding a giant demon pig, he was captured by the military police, and he was beaten in public with fifteen boards, and he raised it for more than half a month.
The reason is simple, the Giant Demon Pig can only be ridden by those with the title of Duke or above.
From this point of view, Cang Shilan is indeed unforgivable.
Prime Minister Hubert said fairly: "The law does stipulate grades and corresponding mounts, but it does not prohibit cross-class breeding. On the contrary, because of the difficulty of raising high-level mounts, His Majesty the Emperor also vigorously encouraged private breeding. This young man only raises but does not ride, not only is he not guilty, but he is meritorious. β
The palace minister Hamingx wiped his fingers under his nose and said, "This young man really didn't ride, but his woman and child did, isn't this trespassing?"
Jacob of Axiang had made up for the Law of Pigs because of the punishment of his young son, and he did not expect to be able to show off again this time, so he said triumphantly: "Lord Hemingx, you are rightβno. The definition of trespass in the Law of Pigs is that men use mounts, guards of honor, and ceremonies that are inconsistent with their rank, and women use mounts, guards of honor, and ceremonies that do not correspond to their status. The non-conformity here refers to the same sex, and if a woman misappropriates a man's mount, guard of honor, and etiquette, it is not illegal. As for children, as long as they are under the age of 14, they are not legally liable. Therefore, his women and children riding the Flame Demon Pig were not in accordance with etiquette, but they were not illegal. β
Prime Minister Hubert added: "Although His Majesty the Emperor encouraged the people to raise high-level demonic beasts, it had little effect, and the reason for this was that the empire was too strict in investigating usurpation. The people raise high-level demonic beasts, which can neither be ridden nor used, so they are naturally not enthusiastic. Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor is ready to issue an edict to allow the women of the common people who raise high-level demonic beasts and children under the age of fifteen to ride high-level demonic beasts, and at the same time, they can also use them as animal power. If the Imperial Minister's Majesty punished this young man for this incident, wouldn't it dampen the people's enthusiasm for raising high-level demonic beasts for the country? Your Majesty, Emperor, you say, am I right?"
Emperor Uyasujit had a confused expression on his face.
He did receive a report from Prime Minister Hubert that more radical measures should be introduced to increase the enthusiasm of the people to raise high-level magical beasts.
However, Uyasujit is hesitating whether to continue to adhere to the law of his ancestors, or to use Prime Minister Hubert's method to enrich the country and strengthen the army.
Now that Hubert suddenly threw up this issue, Uyasujit thought about it again and again, but decided to push the boat with the flow.
The reason is that Cang Shilan's appearance is beautiful and quite affinity. Approving this recital can exonerate Cang Shilan.
Gilbert could not hesitate to give the military map to Cangshi Lan, why couldn't Uyasujit change the law of his ancestors and open the door for Cangshi Lan?
In the final analysis, whether it is a Pig, an elf or a human race, Yan control elements are still in the majority.
And all this is exactly what Prime Minister Hubert calculated.
He was tired of the endless squabbling and arguing in the court, and he had the idea to use this accidental incident to promote his political planning.
As he had imagined, the recital was approved.
The elven ministers were still noisy, accusing Cang Shilan's hairstyle and clothing, shouting "Strange costumes, in the long run, the country is not a country" and the like.
Ji Xiang Abrody was silent for a while, and asked a key question: "His Majesty the Emperor asked us to see this person's face, why did we do it?"
If Emperor Uyasujit just found a beautiful thing for everyone to see, then forget it. If the emperor wants to reuse him, then it's never too late to find faults.
The Pig Empire has a strict official selection system, and if an inexplicable person is suddenly promoted, wouldn't it make these old men who have worked hard for seniority envious, jealous, and hateful.
Uya Sujit said casually: "This young man has contributed to the country, so I will take you to meet him." As for how to use it, let's wait until we see a real person. β
Abrody asked, "What credit?"
The Giant Beast Candle Yin is a secret of the Pi Empire, how can it be leaked to foreigners? But if you don't say it, won't the Pi Jing Republic become an empty word?
So Uyasujit kicked the ball to Prime Minister Hubert and said, "The Prime Minister knows this matter best, so ask him." β
Hubert was bitter in his heart, the emperor didn't want to make up nonsense, did he want to make up nonsense?
Hubert's eyes swept to Yaxiang Jacob, his eyes lit up, and he said, "This matter, Lord Yaxiang is in charge, he said it more clearly." β
Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor and the Prime Minister were silent, the hundred officials thought that the emperor was a special hobby in that regard, so some of them showed obscene smiles, and some of them looked contemptuous, putting on an arrogant expression that was turbid and clear in the world.
