Chen Qingshan and Sanzang were inexplicably brought into the Danfeng Gate by Qin Xiang.

Chen Qingshan observed the old man next to him, who could be called the most powerful man in the world, wearing a robe with the appearance of a crane, his back was slightly stiff, and his temples were frosty white.

Qin Xiang has no cultivation, he is just a simple literati, His Majesty the Holy Emperor ignores the government, and the world on the shoulders of this literati is a little heavy.

Chen Qingshan couldn't figure out why Qin Xiang took him and Sanzang into the palace, the only intersection was that Qin Yunyun lost face that day.

Could it be that the prime minister can really hold the boat in his belly?

Chen Qingshan couldn't help but ask Qin Xiang, but Qin Xiang just waved his hand, saying that it was a good fate, and when he met it, he dropped a son under this chessboard, which was an idle move, since it was an idle chess, so Chen Qingshan didn't have to care too much.

After entering the Danfeng Gate, there are eight palace gates, a total of nine, every time you enter a palace gate, it is another scene, it can be said that a palace gate is as deep as the sea, and it is difficult to look back at the world.

The last palace gate is called Danyang Gate, and after Danyang Gate, it is the Jinluan Palace.

In the white jade square in front of the palace, there is a big tripod, called Kyushu, and in front of the Kyushu tripod, there are full seats.

Chen Qingshan followed Qin Xiang and was led to the position of the first row of seats, and a few steps forward, it was the main seat, the golden chair with carved dragons, the position of His Majesty the Holy Emperor.

Yang Jian and his father's position was on the left hand side behind Qin Xiang, and when he saw Chen Qingshan standing next to Qin Yunyun in front of him, he was in a bad mood.

"Jian'er, for my father, you don't look very good, could it be that you are sick?"

"No, no, my father, it's just that Chang'an is windy, and the sand enters the eyes." Yang Qian's body shook and wiped away his tears.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived, in a row with Qin Xiang, followed by the night cat ugly slave.

"This year, Qin Xiang has worked hard for you."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to be modest, you are indispensable for the credit of the peace in the world." Qin Xiang said.

But those who know a little bit of the inside story understand that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince controls the government and only does things to eradicate dissidents, and only Qin Xiang is working hard for the sake of this country.

The white jade square, which was originally a little noisy, quieted down, and a person who looked like a eunuch appeared under the Kyushu Ding, this person was the great eunuch Zhengde, who had been around His Majesty the Holy Emperor for a long time.

"His Majesty the Holy Emperor has arrived." A slightly sharp voice spread throughout the entire Baiyu Square, not too loud, but it echoed in the square for a long time.

This great eunuch is virtuous, and it is also a major repair.

His Majesty the Holy Emperor appeared, dressed in a Taoist robe, followed by two boys, a man and a woman.

Everyone's eyes were on this man who stood at the highest level of power in the world.

Since His Majesty the Holy Emperor ignored the government, there is a saying in the market that he became the emperor and stood on the highest place in the world, so he thought about immortality. It's just that after Chen Qingshan appeared in front of him, he immediately denied the rumors.

His Majesty the Holy Emperor is not necessarily heroic, just an ordinary face, just a pair of eyes, surprisingly bright, as if there are two blue seas inlaid under the eyes, which can accommodate everything in this world.

Chen Qingshan felt that a person with such eyes would not be a faint king.

"Your Majesty the Holy Emperor!" With the appearance of the Holy Emperor, all the ministers bowed down and bowed deeply to him as a sign of respect.

"Excuse me." His Majesty the Holy Emperor opened his hands and said gently.

Chen Qingshan, who bowed down, only felt that he was held up by a breath of air, His Majesty the Holy Emperor had cultivation, and it was not low.

After His Majesty the Holy Emperor came to sit on the carved dragon golden chair, the ministers below sat down, and next to the dragon chair was an empty phoenix chair.

"Father!" At this moment, a crisp sound rang, followed by the sound of bells clattering.

Jingle bells.

Jingle bells.

The melodious ringing became the only sound in the White Jade Square.

A girl of fifteen or sixteen years old ran from outside the Danyang Gate, her skin was very white, and there was a golden butterfly hairpin on her short hair, which was fluttering up and down with the girl's beating.

The same blouse made of gold thread, with a white lining, is luxurious but elegant, and a bell on the girl's wrist is from which a pleasant sound emanates.

The girl carried her skirt and ran past the ministers, straight to His Majesty the Holy Emperor, and then leaped into a large golden butterfly and fell into the arms of His Majesty the Holy Emperor.

This is the Nineteenth Highness, the youngest of the Holy Emperor's heirs, and the only girl among His Highnesses except for the eldest princess.

Therefore, this little nineteen is extremely favored by the Holy Emperor and his brothers.

"Father, my son misses you." His Highness the Nineteenth was coquettish in the arms of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, like a coquettish cat.

"Father also wants to be nineteen." His Majesty the Holy Emperor touched His Highness Nineteen's head dotingly.

"This little nineteen is still so unruly." There was a rare smile on the prince's cold face, but there was some tenderness in his eyes.

No matter how they fight as elder brothers, everyone has a tacit understanding that it will not affect His Highness the Nineteenth.

As long as the surname of this Tang Dynasty is Li, then these Nineteen Highnesses are the most worry-free people in the world.

His Majesty ordered someone to fetch a chair for His Highness Nineteen, and let her sit next to him and drink Laba porridge together.

"Shanglaba porridge." The unique voice of the eunuch of Zhengde sounded, and a group of maids walked out of the side of the Danyang Gate with jade bowls, they walked lightly, but they walked quickly, forming a line of people shuttling on the white jade square.

Eunuch Zhengde took two bowls of laba porridge from the palace maid and put them in front of His Majesty the Holy Emperor and His Highness the Nineteenth.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Nineteenth, please use Laba porridge."

Chen Qingshan and Sanzang also had one in front of them, so the two of them took it up and drank porridge with everyone.

After drinking the porridge, the highlight of the day arrived.

His Majesty the Holy Emperor wants to listen to these hundred officials and report on this year's government affairs.

Let's start with Qin Xiang.

"Qin Qing, let you govern the country, it's hard work, Qin Qing has something important to report?" His Majesty the Holy Emperor swept over Qin Xiang and his party, paused slightly on Sanzang and Chen Qingshan, and then looked at Qin Xiang.

"The old minister does have something to do." Qin Xiang gave up.

"This year's border war is nearly 20 percent more than last year's, in order to ensure the supply of grain, grass and weapons at the border gates. In addition to increasing the number of tuntian. His Royal Highness the Minister and the Crown Prince are near Zhennan Pass, the northwest border pass, and the two nearest states, Shuzhou and Liangzhou, respectively build large grasslands, and the materials of each grassland can be used for a year. ”

His Majesty the Holy Emperor stroked his palms, nodded and said, "Qin Qing and Yuanchen have done a good job. "Li Yuanchen is the name of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Dynasty.

"Also, when His Majesty was in retreat this year, the king of Nanzhao became a monk, and his Dharma name was revered as a saint, and he wanted to go to Chang'an to face the saint." Qin Xiang said again.

"The Nanzhao royal family has always been good friends with my Tang Dynasty, and there is a tradition of respecting the Buddha, when the king of Nanzhao arrives in Chang'an, if the Taixu Bodhisattva of the Great Compassion Temple is free, let the Bodhisattva go to see the king of Nanzhao, this matter, Yuanchen, you will do it." His Majesty looked at the crown prince.

"The retainers take the order."

After playing these two things, Qin Xiang arched his hand and sat down.

This was followed by other ministers, and the content was probably how much tax was collected this year, what happened to the disaster, and what needs to be reduced.

In the end, it was the turn of Dali Siqing, a man wearing a red official robe and an official hat, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, giving people a slightly wooden feeling.

"Your Majesty, the demon who stole the Jade Huang Zhan was caught by the Red Kite Pavilion Elder of the Heavenly Academy, and now he is imprisoned in the Shengyan Academy."

Dali Siqing's words aroused the interest of His Majesty the Holy Emperor.

"Aiqing, is that demon very strong? He was imprisoned in Shengyan Academy. ”

Dali Temple Qing bowed and said: "That demon is not strong, and there is no cultivation anymore, but there is a monk next to that demon, even if it is a minister, it is not very suppressed." ”。

Dali Siqing's words made the Holy Emperor more and more curious: "Monk, in addition to the two Bodhisattvas of Dabei Temple, there are still monks in this world who can suppress you Guan Tiemian?" ”

Dali Siqing usually handles cases with an iron face and is selfless, so he has the title of Guan Tiemian in the court.

"That monk can also use a sword, it was the Chang'an sword leader Chen who was crazy." Dali Siqing said truthfully.

"Oh? I've heard of this man, but didn't he disappear later? The Holy Emperor was puzzled.

"This Chen idiot left Chang'an, and went to a small town that collects water, and became a monk, and the demon who stole the jade jar met him there and fell in love with him."

"This time this monk returned to the divine capital, it is for this demon." Dali Temple Qing Road.

"So Chen is crazy to protect this demon, and even to be the enemy of my Datang?" The Holy Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly.

"When it comes to an invincible existence below the Eight Realms, the ministers can't make a decision, so they can only let Your Majesty decide." Dali Temple Qing bowed, and then sat back in the seat, as if waiting for His Majesty the Holy Emperor to think.

"Don't say that you are invincible below the Eight Realms, that is, the Eight Realms, I also have to deal with that demon according to the law, what is this monk going to do, is it forbidden to use force!?" The Holy Emperor was a little furious.

When the prince below heard this, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, with his understanding of Monk Fan, if Mrs. Peach Blossom was to be killed, Monk Fan would definitely take action.

And the price of Monk Fan's attack is to be the enemy of the Holy Emperor and the entire Tang Dynasty, obviously, if you do this, Monk Fan will die.

At this time, Chen Qingshan took out the candlelight and stepped forward with Sanzang: "Grass people Chen Qingshan, Sanzang monk, have seen His Majesty the Holy Emperor!" ”

Chen Qingshan held the candle above his head and presented it to His Majesty the Holy Emperor: "The grass man Chen Qingshan wants to exchange this pearl for the peach blossom aunt, the demon in His Majesty's mouth." ”

His Majesty the Holy Emperor was stunned: "This is, candlelight?" ”

"It is the candlelight, and it is the old news that His Majesty wants to find this pearl and open the sacred mountain Kunlun, and the grass people have come to offer treasures." Chen Qingshan bowed and buried his head deeply.

His Majesty the Holy Emperor thought for a while, and then put the candlelight back into Chen Qingshan's sea of knowledge.

"Candlelight has recognized you as the master, I don't take your things, as for whether you are willing to open Kunlun with me, it is your will, and it is not difficult for me to do it for you."

"And whether to kill or not to kill the peach blossom aunt in your mouth is my business, don't try to blackmail me with candlelight." His Majesty the Holy Emperor said coldly.

"Your Majesty, you think of the common people in the world, and the Peach Blossom Lady also thinks of the common people, you can't kill her." Seeing Chen Qingshan's failure, Sanzang stood up and said.

"Oh?" The Holy Emperor hesitated.

"On that day, Mrs. Peach Blossom couldn't have made a move, with the help of the Jade Huang Cup, she could make no power find her, but when she saw the demon lord slaughtering the town, she still made a move, she saved the people of Jishui Town, and abolished her own cultivation." Sanzang Road.

"Maybe the master has a little love for her, but save her because of what she did, not a little love for her, if it was a different person, the master would still take action."

When His Majesty the Holy Emperor heard this, he looked at the Dali Temple Qing who was sitting: "Ai Qing, there is such a thing." ”

Dali Siqing had read the dossier, so he nodded, confirming Sanzang's statement.

Seeing that His Majesty the Holy Emperor was shaken.

"But!" The prince wanted to speak, but Qin Xiang took the lead.

"Your Majesty, the old minister also thinks that this demon should not be killed, and there has been a time to steal the jade huangzhen, but compared to saving the people, it is insignificant. Not to mention the jade cup, even if it is an immortal weapon, it is not as good as half a point of the common people, please think twice, Your Majesty. ”

Qin Xiang sat down.

The crown prince wanted to speak, but was stopped by the Holy Emperor with a slight flick of his sleeves.

His Majesty the Holy Emperor was thinking.

After a long time.

"That demon saved my people, and this sin can be forgiven." His Majesty the Holy Emperor knocked on the table and said slowly.

"In addition, take the jade huang cup to help this demon recover her cultivation, I don't want to owe her."

In the heart of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, although the candlelight is very important, it is not as important as the law of the Tang Dynasty, and the law is very important, but it is not as good as the lives of the people.

After a series of decrees were issued, His Majesty the Holy Emperor was a little tired.

finally looked at Chen Qingshan.

"So, Chen Qingshan, are you willing to go with me to open that sacred mountain Kunlun?"

"Nature." Chen Qingshan bowed.

"Then you will come with me." His Majesty the Holy Emperor took Chen Qingshan and entered the Taihe Palace.

"Congratulations to my father!"

"Congratulations to His Majesty the Holy Emperor!" The voices of the ministers behind him sounded.

Inside the Taihe Palace.

"Chen Qingshan."

"The grass people are here."

His Majesty the Holy Emperor turned his back to Chen Qingshan, which made Chen Qingshan's heart invisibly more pressure.

There was silence in the Taihe Palace, it was very quiet, and Chen Qingshan could even hear his own breathing.

"I hope you can understand me, I can't break the rules." The Holy Emperor thought for a moment, then sighed.

Chen Qingshan understood that His Majesty the Holy Emperor was talking about refusing to exchange the candlelight for the Peach Blossom Lady just now.

"The grass people understand that it is the grass people who are abrupt." Chen Qingshan bowed.

"You don't blame me?"

"The grass people don't dare!"

A long silence followed.

His Majesty's voice rang out again.

"That demon's life was exchanged for the lives of the people she saved, you have a meritorious service to offer candles, I can reward you with a title, I want to make you a marquis, how about it, Chen Qingshan?"

"But Kunlun hasn't been opened yet, and the grass people probably can't stand it." Chen Qingshan was terrified.

"Your cultivation is too weak now, and you can't fully bear the power of the candlelight, when you reach the four realms and fade away from the mortal bones, we can enter Kunlun, I won't tell you, there are things in Kunlun that are extremely important to the Tang Dynasty and even the whole world, Fenghou, it's light."

"The grass people are terrified." Chen Qingshan said goodbye.

The Holy Emperor turned around and said with a smile: "I said that if you can afford it, you can afford it, so, Chen Qingshan, what title do you want?" ”

Seeing Chen Qingshan bow his head and be silent for a long time.

"It's a lump of wood, since you can't afford it, then I'll help you get it, how about the title of Taiping? The world is peaceful, but it is not an insult to your little sword cultivator. ”

After a pillar of incense, Chen Qingshan walked out of the Taihe Palace, only to feel dizzy, and inexplicably became the Marquis of Taiping.

Before leaving, His Majesty the Holy Emperor asked him to prepare well and participate in the Winter Hunting Ceremony, so as not to disgrace the title of Marquis of Taiping.

His Majesty the Holy Emperor sent Chen Qingshan away.

"Zhengde, don't you also think that the reward I gave him is too heavy?"

"The master's business, the slave dare not talk about it."

"Give him a title, and put him on the table, if he can't even afford the title of Tianping Hou, how can he do the Lord of the Candlelight, the opportunity is given to him, it all depends on his own performance."

"And what if Your Majesty is not satisfied?"

"Not satisfied, if he dies, it's okay, I take back the candlelight. If he hadn't died, I would have killed him and retrieved the candlelight. ”
