Chapter 15: The Emperor's Family

The magnificent central main hall appeared in front of Jiang Chen's eyes, ascending the nine hundred and ninety-nine white marble dragon pattern steps, under the gaze of the golden-armored tiger warriors with seven steps on both sides, Jiang Chen slowly walked into the front of the main hall with a sword in hand, and glanced back at the empty square in front of the palace, except for the more than 1,000 tiger warriors of the guards, there was no one else, obviously the people around had been emptied.

There was no call sign of the palace eunuch, and Jiang Chen walked into the main hall by himself. The main hall seems a little dim, eight two people hug thick, six or seven zhang high golden dragon to support the entire main hall, in the magnificent atmosphere and seems to be empty on the innermost platform of the main hall, a middle-aged man wearing a golden dragon robe, looks like a middle-aged man in his forties sitting on the dragon chair, reviewing the dragon case on the fold, there is a small eunuch on the side to help him polish the ink, the review of the good folds neatly put the auxiliary work such as neat.

Jiang Chen came to a hundred steps in front of the middle-aged man and stopped, standing there. A hundred steps is already a very close distance, according to the different levels of the princes and ministers in the court, the distance level of obedience in front of the palace is also different, the highest is naturally the king of Taiding, who holds great power and military achievements, and can govern the country with the emperor in a separate case. The second is that the three major military governors of the Military Aircraft Department and the three Confucian dukes can be obedient to the emperor at thirty paces.

Seventy steps for the first-class sergeant, ninety steps for the second-class. The rest of the ranks are all a hundred steps away, even if the crown prince is in front of this main palace. The main hall represents the formation of the world's other institutions, this is the rule set by the ancestors, the closer the number of steps in front of the main hall of the main hall, the higher the status, the more the emperor's trust.

As a prince, Jiang Chen's own life experience is already an outlier among many princes and grandchildren, plus he has no literary and martial arts reputation, or military exploits. Standing at about a hundred steps is already the most suitable distance for Jiang Chen, and if he gets closer, he will overstep the level, which is regarded as a big disrespect. Within 100 steps, only the prince can enter, not the king is not waiting, once someone catches the handle, it will be said to be a great disrespect and punishment, and the worst will be punished for rebellion, which is not unseen in the history of the Han and Tang dynasties for thousands of years.

Jiang Chen knelt on one knee with a sword in one hand, and was just about to speak, only to hear the shrill voice of the eunuch beside the middle-aged man in the hall: "Nine Emperor Prince Jiang Chen's first ten steps are obedient." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Chen raised his head suddenly, there was something incredible in his eyes, ten steps in front of the hall, although it was not as good as the honor and favor of King Taiding, the god of war in the Han and Tang Dynasties, but who else could there be besides King Taiding? The three princes or the three military governors These six powerful ministers have also been twenty steps away recently, and Jiang Chen is the only one at ten steps, and the glory and favor are none other than this.

Jiang Chen didn't move for a long time, not that he didn't want to move, but the feeling in his heart was incomprehensible, he didn't understand the shame of the man in front of him who was equal to the emperor's family when he was born, and sent himself away from the Eastern Capital for ten years, and now why he is so honored to himself, carrying a sword to the palace, ten steps to be obedient, no matter which one is the Long'en Haodang who makes the eyes of the people of the world red, there is such a favored person before Jiang Chen, and there is still only one person, King Taiding.

"Nine Emperor Prince Jiang Chen's first ten steps in the palace are obedient!" Seeing that Jiang Chen was slow to move, the eunuch shouted again and accentuated his tone.

Seeing that Jiang Chen still didn't move, this time the middle-aged man who had been reviewing the recital and hadn't looked up at Jiang Chen raised his head, his voice was very low, but it was full of majesty: "What, do you want me to pull you over personally?" This person is the master of the huge empire of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the Emperor of the Han and Tang Dynasties, Jiang Wuling.

"Erchen didn't dare. Jiang Chen kowtowed and said, "Thank you for your father's longen." After that, Jiang Chen got up from the ground, the golden brilliance flashed, and a magnificent and heavy aura emanated from Jiang Chen's body, the national dynasty luck added, and the fifty steps in front of the hall all had the national dynasty luck, although it did not have any substantive effect, but it would also enhance the cultivation of people's righteousness, achieve the effect of strengthening the body, and also have a lot of benefits to people in the martial arts. Although the hundred-year-old life expectancy is not very much for the martial arts masters above the sixfold realm of martial arts, and it is not worth mentioning for the martial saints, but for a Confucian like Sangong, who is purely knowledgeable and has no power to cultivate his body and strength, it is already the limit of lifespan, and now he is still alive and well at the age of one hundred and seven, and there is no factor of luck in this country.

One step, two steps, three steps...... Jiang Chen slowly walked ten steps in front of his father Jiang Wuling, and knelt down on one knee with a sword: "Son, see your father." ”

"Get up. Seeing Jiang Chen kneeling on the ground, Jiang Wuling said lightly after a while.

Jiang Chen stood up and didn't speak, and Jiang Wuling on the high platform didn't speak, and the atmosphere suddenly froze. Some are dull, some are uncomfortable. The eunuch beside Jiang Wuling looked like he was also in his forties, he looked at Jiang Wuling, who was immersed in reading and commenting, and then looked at Jiang Chen, who was waiting quietly under the stage, and his eyes rolled: " Your Majesty, you and His Royal Highness the Prince have not seen the return of the Nine Emperor Princes for ten years, you should be happy, three years ago Nanban paid tribute to Your Majesty a black tiger skin robe you like very much, said to wait for His Royal Highness the Nine Emperors to come back and give it to His Royal Highness, and now His Royal Highness the Nine Emperors have returned from his studies, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, the slave will bring it and let His Highness give it a try, Your Majesty thinks it is good?"

Jiang Chen's eyes were shocking, and he suddenly felt that the man in front of him was not as cold to him as he imagined.

Jiang Wuling nodded: "Well, you go." ”

"Wow!" the eunuch went down.

Calm was restored in the main hall. After half a ring, it was Jiang Wuling who took the lead in breaking the silence between the two, only to see him close the last book, put down the pen in his hand and said to Jiang Chen: "The python whip forest hummingbird passed the book that you encountered an attack by people in the evil path in Situ Chuan?"

Jiang Chen bowed slightly and said, "Yes, fortunately, General Lin of the python whip made a move to save the day." ”

"Hmph. Jiang Wuling said: "But the python whip forest didn't say that to me, the two martial dukes, plus the two god-killing ghosts who are close to the holy realm, can't go under your sword for three rounds, should you give me an explanation." ”

Jiang Chen arched his hand: "Erchen is terrified, last year, Erchen was like a martial arts tenfold martial saint realm. ”

"Martial Saint, Martial Saint, my Han Tang Jiang clan royal family was originally a Seven Martial Saint, and now you are also eight, you are much stronger than your imperial brothers. Jiang Wuling said lightly, there was no expression on his face, and he couldn't see this person's mood fluctuations.

Jiang Chen stood in the audience, didn't speak, and didn't know what to say, if there was something in front of him, the master of the Han and Tang Empires would tell him, sure enough, the two of them were silent for a while again, and said to Jiang Chen: "Do you want to know why I summoned you back this time?"

Jiang Chen nodded: "Yes." ”

Jiang Wuling stood up, paced back and forth on the stage and said: "Actually, I have long known about your entry into the Martial Saint Realm, but I am also glad that you have a chance, no matter what the blood relationship between you and me is, at least now you and I are still father and son, I will tell you the truth This time I want you to do something, I will hand over all the power of the shadow guard to you, and the python whip forest has another appointment." ”

"What's the matter?" Jiang Chen asked, it was naturally not a simple matter to be able to hand over half of the power of the Shadow Guard to himself.

Jiang Wuling sneered at the corner of his mouth, got up and came to the stage, and said in Jiang Chen's ear: "...................................."

"Understood?" Jiang Wuling asked.

Jiang Chen nodded: "Erchen understands, it's just when will I take the shadow guards to leave?"

Jiang Wuling said: "Don't worry, three days later, these **** will go to see your mother." ”

Jiang Chen and Jiang Wuling said some more words, and then there was silence again, and after a while, the eunuch who had left came back with a huge brocade box and put the brocade box in front of Jiang Wuling. Jiang Wuling looked at it and said: "This robe is sewn with the fur of the Nanban Black Xuanhu, it is very precious, it was intended to be left to you when the tribute came, and now it is given to you." ”

Jiang Chen didn't shirk either: "Thank you, father." ”

The eunuch stepped down from the high platform and came to Jiang Chen with a brocade box: "Your Highness, you try to fit or not, and if you don't fit, the slaves who don't fit will take it and let the grandmothers in the show girl's room change it." ”

"Thank you, Grandpa Yang. Jiang Chen said: "Stretched out his hand and opened the brocade box, it was a very thick robe, Jiang Chen put it on under the service of Yang Gonggong, Jiang Chen's original fierce momentum changed suddenly, mixed with a strong domineering atmosphere, Jiang Chen, who was originally in the wind of Yushu, had more majesty of the emperor's house at this time, and a black tiger skin robe was worn on Jiang Chen's body, which fit perfectly, as if it was tailor-made.

"Good-looking, good-looking, this robe is really extraordinary on the body of the Nine Emperors, the sword is given to the hero, the robe is matched with His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness is holding the seven-star Longyuan Divine Sword, wearing this Xuanhu robe, and in the future, he will definitely win a hundred battles and win the town of my Hanjia rivers and mountains. That Yang Gonggong couldn't help but admire.

Even Jiang Wuling, who was sitting on the dragon chair, couldn't help but nodded, and a rare smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Okay, Yang Ji, take him down, and live in the original Jiaolong Palace. Jiang Wuling said.

"Whew!" Yang Gong commanded.

"The retainer retired. Jiang Chen also withdrew under the leadership of Yang Gonggong;

On the way, Jiang Chen followed behind Yang Gonggong, only to hear Yang Gonggong say: "Although His Royal Highness has been uninhabited in Jiaolong Palace over the years, His Majesty specially told him to clean it carefully every day, and everything inside has not changed. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Chen's tiger body shook slightly.

"Can my father-in-law tell me something about the past?" Jiang Chen asked to Yang Gonggong.

Yang Gonggong sighed and said: "The matter back then was very complicated, involving the Taiwei of the Three Dukes, the three military governors and the King of Taiding, these things are not suitable for you to know now, when you are enough to take charge alone, I believe that Your Majesty will tell you even if you don't ask." ”
