Chapter 267: The Great General King
After all, the emperor of Wu did not appear in front of the people of the sky to accept onlookers, which made many people who wanted to see the honor of the emperor of Wu very disappointed.
I wanted to see the excitement the most, but I didn't see it......
But whether it is Xu Ji or Emperor Fu Haoran, the Emperor of the Firmament, he will not do that, leaving the opponent with the most dignity, which is a truth that every superior person understands.
If the king of a country is really locked up in a prison car, let people watch...... Unless there is an unforgettable hatred, few people will do this.
The relationship between the Firmament Empire and the Wu State, although it has always been a feud. But Huangfu Haoran himself, and the Emperor of Wu, really didn't have any hatred, and the two had never even met.
This historic meeting expounded the four words of success and defeat in a very good way.
Along the way, Xu Ji also gave Emperor Wu due courtesy, so although the journey was tiring, Emperor Wu did not look very down.
It's just that in the depths of his eyes, there is a trace of sorrow hidden, he entered the imperial city and was taken to the golden palace, when he saw Huangfu Haoran, this monarch from a rich and small country in the north actually showed a faint mocking smile, opened his mouth and said: "Although you have destroyed my country and captured my people, you will never want to rule the hearts of my people!"
Huangfu Haoran smiled faintly, ordered to give a seat to the emperor of Wu, returned to the dragon chair, and then said with a smile: "I never planned to win the hearts of your people. ”
Emperor Wu was slightly stunned, and then said angrily: "Do you want to act against the sky and do that massacre?"
Huangfu Haoran smiled, and a cold light suddenly shot out of his eyes: "If it is not my race, its heart will be different, even if it is slaughtered, why not?"
Above the main hall, it was suddenly so quiet that it could be heard that the needles were falling, and the civil and military officials did not dare to take a breath.
The corners of Emperor Wu's mouth twitched slightly, and then, he laughed loudly, tears flowing down the corners of his eyes.
After laughing enough, he said sadly: "The king of the dead country, there is indeed no need to worry about so many things, if you want to kill or chop, you can do whatever you want! But please also remember that the possession of force will be overthrown sooner or later!"
"That's not something you need to care about anymore. Huangfu Haoran smiled faintly, and then said: "Invite King Wu down, take care of your life, don't let people say that my Firmament Empire is not hospitable!"
"King Wu...... Hehe, King Wu ......" Emperor Wu smiled sadly, was taken down to the palace, and when he arrived at the door, the former monarch of Wu slowly turned around, looked at Xu Ji who was standing on top of the golden palace, and said loudly: "Xu Ji, lonely ...... Although I was captured by you, I don't hate you, maybe I won't see you again, and I'll send you a word, beware of the high merit!"
Xu Ji's face remained unchanged, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Is it interesting to sow discord at this time?"
Emperor Wu smiled, didn't say anything more, and was taken out of the Golden Palace.
Many of the other civil and military officials on the Golden Palace showed thoughtful expressions, and there was silence in the main hall.
Huangfu Haoran laughed loudly and said: "Happy! What a pleasure! Xu Ji, in this battle, you have played a real majesty to the empire! You have made great contributions! Say, what reward do you want?"
Huangfu Haoran didn't mention the words of Emperor Wu just now, because he believed that Xu Ji wouldn't care at all!
This is the trust between their kings and ministers!
It's definitely not something that someone else can provoke with a sentence or two!
However, Xu Ji's next sentence was like a thunderclap on the ground, directly shocking the entire Golden Palace, including the emperor, everyone was so shocked that they were collectively speechless, almost petrified!
"Your Majesty, minister, I want to disarm and return to the field, resign and go home. Xu Ji pushed the golden mountain and poured the jade pillar, knelt on top of the golden palace, lowered his head, and said in a deep voice.
All the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned, and Lord Wang Moxuan, who had been closing his eyes to recuperate, opened his eyes directly, his eyes widened, and he looked at Xu Ji incredulously.
Other important ministers, such as Sun Yunpeng, Lord Sun, Zhao Wenzhao, Lord Zhao, and Lord Leng Mengde, all looked at Xu Ji with a shocked expression.
Wei Feng's eyes flashed with disbelief, and he looked at Xu Ji who was kneeling there in disbelief, and said secretly in his heart: Is this retreating for advance? What does he want to do?
As for the other civil and military officials, they were even more shocked and inexplicable, they didn't know why this general, who had just fought a great victory that was enough to be recorded in the annals of history and famous for eternity, would put forward such a condition.
Huangfu Haoran for a long time before he came back to his senses, he frowned slightly, looked at Xu Ji who was kneeling there, and asked, "Xu Ji...... Are you kidding me?"
"The minister did not, the minister was a young man in the army, and he has been stationed in the border all year round, and his relatives are not allowed to reunite, and he owes too much to his wife and children. ”
"The Korean Empire in the north is in turmoil, and in a short period of time, we are unable to use force against our sky again, and the most important thing is that we have captured the state of Wu, and the minister has ordered to build fortifications on the border between the state of Wu and the country. ”
"If it's peaceful today, the general...... It is not valuable, rather than this, it is better to leave the opportunity to the young people, and as for the ministers, they can return to the field from now on, and they can also spend more time with their families. ”
Xu Ji's attitude is sincere, his voice is serious, and he is by no means joking.
Along the way, he suffered seven or eight serious assassinations, which had made this first person in the military of the Firmament Empire feel tired, and his heart was ...... I'm tired, and both children are really growing up again.
In addition, I heard the eldest son Xu Su say that Xu Luo went to pick up his mother and returned, and Xu Luo also had the best elixir found from the ancient ruins......
Xu Ji had the idea of resigning, rather than staying in that position and making people suspicious, it was better to leave!
What Emperor Wu just said, Xu Ji had already thought of it as early as the moment when he broke through the capital of Wu and captured Emperor Wu.
Even if the emperor doesn't think so, you can't stand everyone else's thoughts!
Especially the group of people led by Wei Feng, they have to do something about everything, not to mention that they now have earth-shattering combat exploits, can they rest assured?
The most important thing is that Xu Ji's strength has been stagnant for a long time, and he has worked hard for the war of the empire, and he has no time to cultivate.
Now that his sons have grown up, he also has the strength and capital to compete with Wei Feng's civil official group, but because of his status, it is impossible to do his best.
In that case, it is better to retreat from the rapids!
It was not easy to make such a decision, and Xu Ji also went through a long period of mental struggle. Until he returned, he was assassinated seven or eight times, which made him completely determined.
"That's not the reason for you, I...... Not allowed!"
If it were someone else, Huangfu Haoran might have approved it directly, and wanted to play the trick of retreating to advance with me?
But Xu Ji is different!
Huangfu Haoran and Xu Ji have also been friends since childhood, he knows Xu Ji too well, and he knows that the other party never speaks with moisture, and he is the kind of person who does what he says!
Not to mention that this time Xu Ji returned with monstrous military exploits, even if he didn't say anything, he couldn't say that he didn't seal him a king with a different surname, so why stage such a trick to deceive people?
"Your Majesty's ......" Xu Ji raised his head and said with a bitter face: "The minister is serious!"
"I ...... Do you want to be with your family? Okay, I'll give you a vacation......! If there is no war, even if you keep resting, I will not care about you!"
Huangfu Haoran looked at Xu Ji and said with some excitement: "But you are not allowed to resign from me! You are a pillar of the country, if I let you go...... Do you want the world to scold me for being blind?"
"The emperor is angry!" other civil and military officials hurriedly knelt on the ground and comforted the emperor.
Xu Ji knelt there, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, in fact, he also thought that the emperor would not agree, but he would not try...... How do you know that the road is not good?
"Get up, I'm not angry, today, it's a big day for my whole sky, how can I be angry?"
Huangfu Haoran waved his hand to let everyone get up, and then said to Xu Ji: "Don't say anything, Xu Ji has merit in destroying Wu Guo, and from now on, he will be crowned as a ...... The throne can be inherited for three generations! But except for Xu Ji, the descendants cannot use the title of the great general king, and the descendants are princes! The four northern cities are sealed, and the fief is the fief of the great general, and the fief is hereditary ......"
Huangfu was beaming, and said a lot, and above the entire court, all eyes were focused on Xu Ji.
At this moment, the light on Xu Ji's body completely suppressed everyone above the Golden Palace!
Great General King!
What an honor?
Wei Feng stood aside, his heart was mixed, and the jealousy in his eyes was even about to overflow.
He is not the only one, but the other important ministers of the court are not much better than him, and they all look at Xu Ji with envy.
Title of king with a different surname...... How many years have passed, except for the founding period, in this peaceful era, it is a dream to want to be crowned king with a different surname!
It's not that it's easy, it's that it's almost impossible!
Over there, Lord Wang Moxuan was the first to react, with a sincere smile on his face, he walked up to Xu Ji, bowed down and clasped his fists, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to General Wang!"
Subsequently, Leng Mengde, Zhao Wenzhao and Sun Yunpeng and other important ministers came over to greet Xu Ji.
In the past, everyone was in the same hall, and Xu Ji's level was even half a level lower than some of them.
But now, Xu Ji has been crowned king and has become a real top nobleman!
Don't say it's them, even Wei Feng, who is the first powerful minister of the dynasty, in front of Xu Ji, he has to bow down honestly and ask: Hello general Wang!
Needless to say, the other civil and military officials came to pay their respects.
Only Wei Feng stood there, his face was full of complicated colors, and the officials who followed Wei Feng closely were all scratching their ears and cheeks in a little hurry, although they followed Wei Feng closely and looked at Xu Ji in every way, but now Xu Ji has become a general...... If you think about it like in the past, it is already impossible not to put Xu Ji in your eyes.
Looking back, I can't tell when, Xu Ji can find a reason to push them into the abyss from which they will never recover.
After hesitating for a long time, Wei Feng let out a long breath and walked slowly towards Xu Ji.
