Volume 2 The Beginning of the Scene Chapter 42 The Reward
Under the leadership of a team of golden helmets and golden armor guards, walking in the endless pavilions and palaces with the corridors and waists, the eaves and teeth are high pecked, and the beams and carved buildings are endless, and they come to the majestic and dignified Jinluan Palace.
At this time, it is already the third day after the end of the competition, and it is also the day when the competition rewards are issued.
After all, Ye Qing and the others also said that they were the coquettish people of the younger generation, and in the ancient times of the earth, they were people like the champions of civil and military affairs, and they wanted to cross the horse and parade the streets.
Although in the current human race, the imperial examination has only been carried out to the level of lifting people, and there is no such thing as a champion, but in the hearts of the people, the first place in the competition is generally regarded as the champion.
Before Ye Qing, Yue Ji, Luo Yu and others had already arrived here and waited, while Chen Dan was still under treatment because he was too injured and could not move around freely, so his reward could only be postponed.
Ye Qing was the last person to arrive, but no one dared to underestimate him, even Luo Yu, who was not dealing with Ye Qing, did not dare to make a mistake at this time, but greeted Ye Qing very friendly.
At the gate of the Jinluan Palace, although the scholars waiting for each other were extremely interested in each other and more friendly, no one dared to talk nonsense. When Ye Qing was bored, he looked at the surrounding environment, which was indeed countless times more majestic than the Forbidden City of the Earth World.
The stairs are spotless, hard as steel obsidian stone, the corridor is nearly ten zhang high, about five zhang wide, each side is several miles long, hundreds of three people hug, the texture of the golden phoenix pillars are lined up, the interval is about fifty zhang; the eaves are finely carved with countless different images of different beasts, the yellow colored glazed tiles are crystal clear, the luster flows, carved from unknown crystals, not made of ceramics; the ground is paved with green granite that can shine on people, hard as pig iron; the corridor railing is carved from white jade that is as pure as snow. There are also countless white mist lingering in it, making it like a fairyland on earth.
In this way, it can only be done in this high-energy time.
"Xuan"
An old eunuch with a white beard stepped out of the Jinluan Hall and shouted in a feminine and sharp and clear voice.
Ye Qing and the other seven scholars who had been edicted were all in good spirits, and consciously according to the size of this merit, Ye Qing was the leader, Yue Ji was second, Luo Yu was again, and the rest were arranged in turn.
"Grass people Ye Qing (Luo Yu...... Meet my king, long live my king, long live long live."
As soon as he entered the Jinluan Palace, it was already full of civil and military officials, although the civil and military officials had tried their best to restrain them, but the aura of the strong and vast strong men still made Ye Qing and the others want to suffocate. Ye Qing and the others tried their best to restrain themselves, maintain a steady focus, and salute respectfully.
"All the young heroes are exempt"
A kind but gentle but majestic voice started, Ye Qing only felt an invisible force gently supporting himself, so that he had to stand up, believing that others were the same
This is a world of cultivators, those who can enter the Jinluan Palace, there are no ordinary people, there are no weak people who rank among the civil and military officials, and the weakest one is also a Jinshi scholar, and the Hanlin masters account for the majority of the hundred officials, as the emperor, the strength of the Moon King naturally does not need to be doubted, otherwise he will not be able to suppress the civil and military officials.
"The results of this year's big competition have been announced. According to the rules of the dynasties:
First place: Ye Qing, give the marquis, five million spirit coins of Shilu, and a ninth-order spirit book;
Second place: Chen Dan, Viscount, Shilu million spirit coins, a sixth-order spirit book;
Third place: Yueji, Ci Nanjue, 300,000 spirit coins of Shilu, a fourth-order spirit book;
The rest of the people, from the nobility of the dynasty, eat 50,000 spirit coins, and a low-level spirit book if you are interested......"
After paying homage to the salute, the dynasty was very happy, and there was not much merit and praise, so he directly began to read out the rewards of this competition. Judging from the Yulu alone, maybe this bit of spiritual coins of the dynasty is not worth mentioning at all, but with the dynasty as a support, it is only the benefits brought by the fortune of the dynasty, which is not comparable to other things, which is also one of the important reasons why many scholars support various countries.
"Long live my king, long live long live"
Ye Qing and the other seven people bowed down and shouted in unison, most of them had happy faces, and they were canonized by the dynasty, this was a rare opportunity to ascend to the sky, at least twenty years less than others.
Only the moon season is very bland, and even gloomy, which is really puzzling.
However, as long as someone who knows a little bit of the inside story can still understand, this Yueji was originally a child of the royal family of the dynasty, although he has not been officially canonized, but according to his qualifications, any viscount or earl can't run.
But in order to prove himself, he gave up the method of obtaining the knighthood directly from within the royal family, and instead needed to win this big competition and seize a knighthood with his own strength.
It's a pity that this year's contestants have Ye Qing, a dark horse, and Chen Dan, a roadblock, even if the moon and the moon are super long, they only get the title of baron.
This is already a relatively low title, and it is also the lowest noble title recognized by the entire human race, as for the nobles canonized by other dynasties under the baron, they are not officially recognized in other countries.
"Champion Ye Qing stayed, and then retired" After the reward was completed, a eunuch shouted loudly.
Although the other people looked at Xie Ying with envy in their eyes, they also had to respectfully retire, this was not the place where they could speak.
......
"Ye Qing's family was able to win the championship this time at the age of less than a weak crown, and what is even more rare is that he actually fought with the barbarians, and defeated the strong with the weak, raising the coercion of our human race, how do you think the reward should be given?
There was a silence in the court that could be heard of a falling needle, and in the end, it was the Moon King who looked down at the civil and military officials and took the lead in speaking.
The atmosphere was cold, Xie Ying lowered his eyebrows, but the corners of his eyes were seconds to the civil and military officials on both sides of the "eyebrows", secretly "passing on love".
"Is there a deep meaning to your own reward? Don't be happy and sad" Seeing this, Ye Qing realized something in his heart, and couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Qi Yu my king, this year's champion, although he has made many excellent works, can be regarded as brilliant. But looking at what he has done, the force is obviously at least in the literary style, and his people in the frontier are able to turn the tide, protect my clan, and make great contributions, and it is difficult to convince the public without heavy rewards, and it is difficult to appease the world. So much is expected, the world returns to the heart" An old minister of some age took the lead in the ranks, and his voice was loud.
"Huh?" the Moon King's eyes shrank suddenly, and the violent aura under the forced suppression was clearly audible.
"Yes, this minister is very reasonable, and it is indeed very inappropriate not to do what he said."
Feeling the anger and anger that the Moon King forcibly suppressed, and even a little bit of murderous intent, Ye Qing was inexplicable to hear it below, and he couldn't understand where the Moon King's murderous aura came from.
However, when he glanced at the civil and military officials in the court with the peripheral vision of his eyes, Ye Qing was stunned for a moment:
"It's not good, it seems that this time I have really been caught in the whirlpool, don't set yourself on fire. ”
The court has always been a place of right and wrong, and there are always all kinds of battles, and when I see other people with a mentality that nothing concerns them, I also understand in ignorance that I should hit the muzzle of the gun.
It's a pity that Ye Qing doesn't know anything about the power of the court of the Great Moon Dynasty, after all, he only came to the king to accept the reward, but he didn't think about intervening in the court dispute.
Besides, the court dispute of the Great Moon Dynasty is not something that Ye Qing wants to intervene in, and the identity that Ye Qing can get his hands on now is just a competition champion. As for the prize marquis of the champion, isn't it not in place yet, and his identity as a small lord has no effect here, even if he still has an army of one hundred thousand, but compared with these people in the court, he is a little ashamed.
In the eyes of the civil and military forces of this Manchu Dynasty, Ye Qing is just a relatively good junior, and he has not yet reached the point where he deserves their attention.
However, although Ye Qing didn't know much about the things in the court, he had a certain understanding of this Mingyue Pass.
Mingyue Pass is the northern barrier of the human race, and it is a bridgehead to resist the invasion of the barbarians, that is, there is the existence of Mingyue Pass, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the northern protector of the Great Moon Dynasty after thousands of years of peace.
Such an important checkpoint, just the army, has reached 10 million, and they have all survived the brutal war, and they are the elite of the elite, and the dynasty has to invest a lot of manpower and material resources in it every year.
With such a pivotal army placed at the border pass, if it is handed over to ordinary people, the Moon King is naturally not at ease, therefore, for so many years, almost all of the guards of the Bright Moon Pass have been served by the children of the royal family.
However, Mingyue Pass is a border pass, and war is naturally indispensable, and there will naturally be casualties if there is a war, and the chaos of tens of millions of people may be difficult for the demi-saints to protect themselves, not to mention that the highest strength in the army of the Great Moon Dynasty is also a scholar.
Therefore, although the guards of Mingyue Pass have heavy protection, few of them can survive their tenure, and most of the guards died in the battle with the barbarians.
Especially in the past hundred years, the guards of Mingyue Pass have changed no less than ten, and even the prince has been sent out twice, but unfortunately they all fell in the melee.
Now among the royal family, it is difficult to find someone suitable for defending Mingyue Pass, there are so few, the Moon King also has to think about the future of the royal family, can a huge dynasty be managed by a group of straw bales, and in addition to the northern barbarians, the dynasty has other enemies that need to be defended.
