Chapter 701: Glory and the Imperial Meeting
In the early morning of the next day, Lu Ping'an and others planned to enter the palace, but unexpectedly, Hu Xian sent someone over and asked them all to attend today's court meeting.
"We are not court officials of Cangwu Kingdom, why are we going to participate in the court meeting?"
Meng Shaoyuan asked the messenger in confusion.
Before the man could answer, Tian He said: "Do you still need to ask? The main content of this court meeting must be about war, and we people naturally cannot be absent." ”
The messenger said: "This son is right, it is exactly so. ”
Meng Shaoyuan said: "So that's the case, that's right, after all, this is the first court meeting after His Majesty returned to the palace, so why should I talk about that war." ”
Lu Ping'an said: "No matter what it is, Your Majesty has sent someone to call, we have to go, don't be stunned, let's go." ”
The messenger said: "A sedan chair has been arranged outside, please come with me." ”
In fact, Lu Ping'an, as cultivators, didn't like to make a sedan chair, but this was obviously deliberately ordered by Hu Xian, and they could only accept it reluctantly.
After going out, Lu Ping'an and the others saw that the sedan chairs were quite spacious and luxurious, and in the Cangwu Kingdom, they were probably second only to Hu Xian's imperial sedan chairs.
Moreover, there was a large group of Praetorian Guards guarding the vicinity.
After Lu Ping'an and the others got into the sedan chair, they were opened by the Praetorian Guards and escorted by heavy guards to the palace.
Along the way, there are still many people on both sides of the road watching, cheering, very enthusiastic.
In the eyes of Lu Ping'an and others, it was just to enter the palace, and it was not the first time they had gone, so there was no need to be so enthusiastic and put on such a big battle.
Sending those Praetorian Guards over is even more redundant, with Lu Ping'an's strength, they still need to be protected by the Praetorian Guards?
Therefore, there is no doubt that those Praetorian Guards are only here to serve as honor guards, in order to make the whole team look more imposing and domineering.
This series of arrangements is probably because Hu Xian feels that Lu Ping'an and they have made great contributions to the Cangwu country, so on a day like today, they must be given the highest level of etiquette and let them enter the palace in style.
And the reason why those ordinary people know that the person in the sedan chair is Lu Ping'an and them should be someone who deliberately released the news to make the scene more grand and lively.
Meng Shaoyuan, who was sitting in the same sedan chair as Lu Ping'an, said with a smile: "Your Majesty is really polite, this makes me a little embarrassed." ”
Lu Ping'an said: "I see you smiling so happily, it doesn't look like you're embarrassed." ”
Meng Shaoyuan coughed lightly twice and said, "I've lived for more than 20 years, and it's the first time I've been treated like this, and I'm happy in my heart, isn't it normal? Do you think that everyone is like you, who has had so many beautiful experiences, and has already become a famous figure in the Eastern Continent?"
Lu Ping'an was stunned for a moment, and said: "That's right, then you can enjoy it, I estimate that after entering the palace, there will be more grand and grand pomp waiting for us, but no matter what, this is the glory you deserve." ”
Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "It's not me, it's us." ”
After a while, Lu Ping'an and the others entered the palace.
On the way, they also met some court officials who were walking into the palace and court, and when those officials saw this formation, they probably guessed the identity of the people in the sedan chair, so they all stopped and bowed, and waited for the Praetorian Guards and the sedan chair to pass before continuing to walk, which can be described as respectful.
Soon, Lu Ping'an and the others were sent to the side hall next to the main hall of the palace, waiting for the start of the court meeting.
But before he could wait, Guan Xiantu walked in.
"You're all there, right?"
Guan Xiantu glanced at them and asked.
Lu Ping'an said: "If you mean us seniors, then of course it's all here." ”
Guan Xiantu said: "Actually, Your Majesty really wants to invite Miss Zhuang and Miss Gongsun and others over, but unfortunately the situation does not allow it, and their identities are not convenient to disclose, so I can only call a few of you." ”
Lu Ping'an said: "Your Majesty's wishes, I will convey them to them." ”
Guan Xiantu said: "This is the best, of course, you are the main characters today, you are still a little mentally prepared." ”
Lu Ping'an said: "What do we need to do?"
Guan Xiantu said: "Basically, you don't need anything, just stand there and accept Your Majesty's commendation and the admiration of civil and military officials." ”
"Well, it's up to you. ”
Lu Ping'an said with a wry smile.
He personally didn't care about this kind of thing, but he also knew that in a sense, it was still necessary, at least he felt that the court of Cangwu Country should give Chun Yu Feiqiong the honor they deserved.
It's not about any valuable rewards, but to let everyone in Cangwu know about their existence and what they do, so as to respect them and remember them.
Lu Ping'an's reputation is big enough, as long as he is willing to spend money, he can even buy his portrait on the market, but Chun Yu Feiqiong is not the case, they still need to show up on formal occasions to get more people to know them.
It is precisely because of this that Lu Ping'an feels that it is still very meaningful for Hu Xian to arrange these things.
Hu Ling suddenly asked, "Uncle Guan, do I want to be with them too?"
Guan Xiantu said: "It depends on your own meaning, Your Highness, although Your Highness is a princess, but at the same time you are also a soldier who participated in the war, you can appear in any capacity you want." ”
Hu Ling said without thinking: "Then I'll go with them as a warrior." ”
Guan Xiantu smiled and said, "Your Majesty is right, you really chose like this." ”
"Father, he knows me so well, it's not surprising that he guessed it. ”
Hu Ling said, and couldn't help but think of her decision, and his heart suddenly overflowed with reluctance.
Guan Xiantu saw that her face became a little wrong, and asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
Hu Ling said: "Let's talk about it after the court meeting is over." ”
Guan Xiantu vaguely guessed something, his face was slightly dark, and he said, "Okay." ”
After some time, a bell rang on the side of the main hall, indicating that the court meeting was about to begin.
So, Guan Xiantu took Lu Ping'an and others through a passage from the side hall and walked into the main hall of the palace.
They didn't enter through the gate, but as soon as they appeared, they attracted the attention of many court officials in the field.
Most of those eyes were full of reverence, as if Lu Ping'an and they all radiated light, so that those officials couldn't help but want to take a few more looks, to see what these rumored people who had made great achievements for the Cangwu country looked like.
It's okay for military generals, after all, they have seen them on the battlefield, but when those civilian officials started the war, most of them stayed in Luotian City, so they naturally felt very curious about Lu Ping'an and the others.
In fact, there are many people who have seen Lu Ping'an at the previous amphibious meeting, but that was more than two years ago, and it is not what it used to be.
In fact, just from the appearance, Lu Ping'an just looked more mature than he did at that time, but in the eyes of people, with the blessing of those heroic deeds, he seemed to have become more handsome and chic, and he was full of a strong and high-ranking demeanor.
And Chun Yu Feiqiong, Tian He and others also seem to be dignified and magnificent, and they are really ordinary people.
Those officials praised Lu Ping'an and others, but it was more about their actions than their appearances.
Even some officials wanted to go up and talk a few words, but they were politely rejected by Guan Xiantu, and no one came to disturb Lu Ping'an and the others.
At the same time, Lu Ping'an and the others also saw some familiar faces, such as Luo Yi, Xue Chengwu, and some generals and strategists who had fought with them, and even Hong Yang of the Artifact Sect, as well as several representatives of the folk monk forces, also came to this hall.
Except for Zhuang Qingxi, Gongsun Ying and others, the more important figures in that war have basically gathered together.
Although they had already celebrated once in the barracks at the end of the war, this was a more formal meeting, a grand court meeting that would better represent the will of the whole country of Cangwu.
