Chapter XXVIII: The Royal Banquet IV
"The king of Qingzhou, the king of Yizhou, the king of Jingzhou, the king of Yangzhou. Arrive. While a few people were talking and laughing, several important people finally arrived. And following them was a group of young talents, at least Qin Zhan saw that Su Shi and Tuoba Yong were behind them. With their entry, the entire palace and garden are a lot of commotion, the king of Kyushu is a powerful figure in the government and the opposition, and the ministers of the court and the central government are usually quite connected, so their entry has attracted too much attention.
However, as the king of Kyushu sat down in his seat, the noisy scene gradually quieted down. Because everyone knows that the next thing is the arrival of the human emperor.
Just after everyone was quietly waiting for a cup of tea, the golden dragon of luck in the sky above the imperial capital was churning.
"Ang Ang !!" The golden dragon of luck let out a roar. The voice of the mighty shore suppressed the nine heavens and ten earths and deterred the ten demon gods.
During the banquet, all the ministers of Kyushu looked at the majestic golden dragon excitedly and adoringly, while the kings of Kyushu were stern and silent. It seems to be secretly contemplating life. As for the heads of the six major families in the imperial capital, they all frowned.
"Hmph, I'm still so fond of stinky showmanship, since I'm here, I don't want to come out soon," just when everyone was waiting solemnly, an extremely discordant and lazy voice came from the crowd.
The crowd was speechless.
"Ahem, Brother Dugu, please don't be impatient, the Emperor is coming soon. Prime Minister Hu Wei said with black lines on his head. It turned out that it was the contemporary patriarch of the Dugu family, Dugu Yi, who spoke.
Dugu Yi pursed his lips and drank the tea beside him. It's as if it wasn't him who just spoke. That lazy appearance made the ministers of Kyushu criticize for a while. Some old courtiers even looked at him angrily. However, when I remembered that his name was Dugu Yi, the patriarch of the contemporary Dugu family, I suppressed that dissatisfaction again.
"It's so personal," Qin Zhan couldn't help but sigh. Then he glanced at several descendants of the six major families around him, and found that they were all full of black lines, and smiled bitterly. Even Zi Ling, who is usually the most naughty, is covering his face at the moment. I deeply feel sorry for this family elder's ungraceful behavior.
"The Emperor of Men has arrived. Just when everyone gradually fell silent, the chief eunuch in the palace shouted and shouted to everyone's ears.
"The ministers welcome the emperor, and wish the emperor eternal blessings, longevity and heaven. The ministers of Kyushu, including the kings of Kyushu, all said respectfully, and even the family members of the six major families except for the patriarchs all saluted respectfully.
On the dragon chair on the central seat in the deepest part of Chaotian Pavilion, the human emperor Li Zheng, wearing a five-clawed golden dragon robe, a crown of Qi Tian, and nine dragon shoes on his feet, appeared on it without warning, his eyes were wise and deep, like the vast starry sky, which made people look at it and fall into it, and couldn't help but swear allegiance to it from the depths of his heart. Its god form is domineering and elegant. This is the current generation of people. The image at this moment and Qin Zhan's temperament when he was a saint at that time were simply earth-shaking changes.
"All Aiqing are exempt from courtesy, I set up a banquet today, firstly, to entertain many Aiqing and heroes who came to the imperial capital from all over Kyushu, and secondly, to reward the young heroes of Kyushu first. By the way, let's take a look at what young leaders have appeared in my Kyushu over the years, the future Kyushu is the world of young people, only the future generations of people will continue to prosper, and my human race can continue to maintain the supreme overlordship. The Human Emperor smiled slightly, and said with a gentle expression.
"What the emperor said is that the kings of Kyushu have heard that the Quartet is coming, and they are hereby selected in Kyushu. In the end, three peerless Tianjiao were selected, and I think they will definitely win glory for my Kyushu. Those who won the Quartet Martial Arts, you went to see the Human Emperor. King Jingzhou responded.
"Minister Su Shi, Minister Tuoba Yong, Minister Tan Zhiyong. I've seen the human emperor. After the king of Jingzhou finished speaking, several young people standing behind him saluted respectfully.
"Well, it really looks extraordinary, it is the material that can be made in Kyushu, and when the time comes, the Quartet will be martial, I hope you will go all out. Fight for the victory of Kyushu for my Xuanhuang lineage, and deal a good blow to the arrogance of the barbarians," said the emperor with praise.
"The ruler will not live up to the grace of God. Several young leaders in Kyushu said respectfully.
"The Emperor of the People, several of them are carefully selected by the ministers, and they can be described as talents that have not been produced for a thousand years, but the Quartet will test the overall strength of the younger generation in Kyushu, and the heirs of the six great families needless to say, I just don't know how the imperial court is prepared. I Kyushu rules the world with martial arts, and governs the world with culture, but where does it come from without Wuding? The minister had an idea, why not take advantage of today's big day and let their young people try it out. Qingzhou Wang Hanjian said.
"Oh?" said the Emperor of the People, looking at the King of Qingzhou, his eyes were solemn and majestic, as if he wanted to see through the inner thoughts of the King of Qingzhou and others.
The king of Qingzhou, when he saw the emperor looking at him, his heart tightened unnaturally, although the king of Kyushu usually guards outside, and he does not have much time and opportunity to meet the emperor or come to meet the emperor. Therefore, in their hearts, the majesty of the human emperor does not seem to be as important as those old courtiers in the court. Just when he opened his mouth to explain something,
"I'm on track. The human emperor seemed to see the nervousness in King Qingzhou's heart, and then smiled lightly and said.
It seemed that the human emperor saw his nervousness, and Han Jian, the king of Qingzhou, paused with an ugly face.
"The old minister has something to do. At today's feast, young people can indeed increase some joy by fighting. However, Lao Chen Jian, the competition should be compared by non-Quartet martial arts contestants, so as not to lose the harmony between young people, and secondly, not to let the Quartet get a glimpse of our strength. Prime Minister Hu Wei said calmly.
"What Aiqing said is exactly what I think in my heart, and I will play it accurately. Li Jing. You just go out and have a try," the Emperor said leisurely.
"The last general's decree. I saw a white-robed young general walking out of the crowd, carrying a blood-colored long sword. With his appearance, there was a solemn atmosphere in the whole scene, and everyone seemed to see a god of war who came out of the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses.
"What is he. It turned out to be him, didn't he say that he followed that one to fight in the wilderness, and he had already died in battle? Why is he still alive now? When someone recognized him, there was chaos.
"It turned out to be Li Jing, I didn't expect to be alive. If only he were alive. Li Xian couldn't help but sigh,
The whole scene of Chaotian Pavilion seemed to be chaotic by the appearance of this young man, and the young generation of heroes in Kyushu all looked at him curiously, as if they were surprised by his origin, why he could let a group of scholars and Confucian scholars who were not shocked by honor and disgrace be so out of shape
