The old man who had been in the main hall to greet everyone came in a hurry, looked at the sedimentation hall, and said loudly: "Everyone wait here for a while, the martial arts evaluation conference will start later." ”

After speaking, the old man hurried away again, hidden in the depths of the main hall.

Li Chaoyang closed his eyes and quietly waited for the start of the martial arts evaluation conference.

A moment later, in the palace, the sound of the three drums sounded, and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Taihao Empire was rushing forward, and the Emperor Long Yue also walked out slowly and sat on the main seat.

The ministers fell to their knees.

Li Chaoyang and the others slowly stood up and bowed to Long Yue on the throne.

Long Yue's expression was majestic, and he gestured to everyone, exempting him from courtesy.

All the people are seated.

Long Yue, who was sitting on the throne, glanced around and said, "The Martial Arts Evaluation Conference has been held since the founding of Emperor Taizu, which has lasted for thousands of years, and has always been attended by Jixia Academy and Tai'a Academy...... This year, Lone decided to make a change, so he specially invited the three major hidden sects of Tianxuanzong, Fengxue Yincheng, and Longmen to come to participate in the martial arts evaluation conference. ”

After the words were spoken, there was silence in the hall, and many civil and military ministers looked at each other, and they were also very puzzled by the emperor's approach.

Long Yue's expression was still as usual, and he looked at everyone's expressions in his eyes, and said: "When Emperor Taizu founded the country, there were always sects that threatened the safety of the empire, so Emperor Taizu did not hesitate to send heavy troops to encircle and suppress them, and wiped out all the sects in the empire - the empire is also a permanent territory. ”

Listening to Long Yue's words, Li Chaoyang's eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly, when Emperor Taizu exterminated the sect, Deng Tiannan was out of the air, blocking the killing of the imperial army and establishing Tai'a Academy, which also continues to this day, but Emperor Long Yue never mentioned it.

The meaning in Emperor Long Yue's words is intriguing.

Suppressing all the thoughts in his heart, Li Chaoyang looked at the main seat, Long Yue's expression was still calm, but his eyes were looking at his own position.

Li Chaoyang's heart couldn't help but be slightly shocked, although Long Yue's gaze was plain, it gave him a kind of terrifying power, as if it could penetrate everything and shoot directly into people's hearts.

"For a long time, the academy has been comparable to the backbone of the sky, supporting the empire, so Lone decided to give the academy disciples the treatment of being a marquis. Emperor Long Yue said in a calm voice.

In the main hall, there was a sudden sound of inhalation.

The civil and military officials couldn't help but whisper, the people in the empire who were feudal lords were only the number of double-in-command, but all of them were people with a lot of military achievements.

I think that at the beginning, Emperor Taizu founded the country and was only a marquis, but he only sealed five places, and they were all generals who followed Emperor Taizu to fight on the battlefield, each of them was a ruthless person who came out of the sea of corpses and blood, and after being crowned a marquis, Emperor Taizu released his power with a glass of wine, and firmly held the military power of the empire in his own hands.

Since then, for thousands of years, there have only been two more marquises.

When Emperor Long Yue ascended the throne, the empire was suffering from the biggest border crisis, and the snow country in the north and the barbarian army in the south pressed the border, and in one day, ten cities were broken in a row.

Longyue changed the name of the year to Taichu, which means that the empire will glow with new vitality, and then boldly raise the military generals Qu Xiangfei, Gao Zhen, Gongsun Wushuang, and the power of the whole country to send troops to the border.

Qu Xiangfei led an army of 500,000 to the north, marched thousands of miles in three days, and then attacked the snow ** team with lightning speed, killing more than 200,000 enemy troops, and laying the stability of the north in one fell swoop.

Gongsun Wushuang and Gao Zhen each led three armies, preparing to flank the barbarian army from both sides.

Unexpectedly, when Gao Zhen was flanking, he was in a hurry and led the army into the dangerous land of the Southern Barbarians, and as a result, the 300,000 army was almost wiped out.

Gongsun Wushuang was on the frontal battlefield, pushing sideways, and the barbarian army was completely defeated in three battles.

At this point, the Taihao border returned to calm again.

Therefore, Qu Xiangfei and Gongsun Wushuang were named the Marquis of Zhenbei and the Marquis of Zhennan respectively, while Gao Zhen apologized for his crime with death.

Since Long Yue ascended the throne, the marquis of Fenghou has been completed, and the Marquis of Zhenbei and the Marquis of Zhennan have guarded the north and south of the empire respectively, and there has been no war at the border since then.

However, today, Emperor Long Yue once again proposed the matter of sealing the marquis, how could this not surprise the ministers.

Not only that, but the person proposed by the emperor to be a marquis is still in the academy, which makes those ministers who have always been the enemies of the academy feel a little bloody in their heads, and their eyes can't help but look towards the seats of the academy.

There, Li Chaoyang was sitting calmly, as if he had never heard the words of the emperor.

Wu Qian stabbed Li Chaoyang a little uncomfortably, and in the face of so many eyes, she was really a little uncomfortable.

Nodding slightly at Wu Qian, Li Chaoyang fell his gaze on the tall body of Emperor Long Yue, and waited quietly for the next step.

A smile appeared on Long Yue's face and said, "I know...... You may be abrupt, but this is the result of my long discussions with the Prime Minister and the Taifu. ”

The eyes of the crowd looked again.

Sure enough, the prime minister and the Taifu, who were sitting at the front, really closed their eyes tightly, looking like they already knew.

Emperor Long Yue nodded with a smile and said, "This martial arts evaluation conference - in addition to your martial arts exchanges, is to evaluate the characters of this marquis. ”

When the words were spoken, Emperor Long Yue had no words.

Very light words, but they set off a stormy wave.

Emperor Long Yue had already made it clear that he selected disciples from the academy to be marquis, but he did not invite the real master disciples in the academy, but invited the ten masters of the academy who had just emerged.

The martial arts evaluation conference was first a martial arts exchange - and then a feudal marquis.

Martial arts exchange means to compete in martial arts, looking at the strength of the other four parties, it is obvious that they are all prepared, but the academy is at a disadvantage.

The smile on Li Chaoyang's face was even stronger, he lowered his head and looked at the broken sword on his knees, and the smile in his eyes was cold.

At this moment, Li Chaoyang wanted to expose the emperor's hypocritical face.

But Li Chaoyang can't, and he doesn't dare, Taihao's background is too strong, standing for thousands of years, and Rao is academy doesn't dare to excuse himself easily.

Taking a deep breath, his gaze fell on the disciple of Tianxuanzong who had been closing his eyes and recuperating, Li Chaoyang could clearly feel the clanging sword qi coming from the wide sword box, and the chill that swept out of the disciple of the Wind and Snow Silver City, like the cold ice, was slowly surrounding him, and the rich bloody aura on the two of them made Li Chaoyang a little depressed.

Exhaling a deep breath, Li Chaoyang's expression became firm, looked at Wu Qian, and said, "Actually, it's not bad to get a Hou Ye to be a master." ”

Although the words were very soft, everyone in the hall heard them clearly!

Wu Qian's expression couldn't help but change,

Immediately after, in the main hall, all the people's faces became ugly.

Rao is the emperor's expression is also changing uncertainly......
