Chapter 19: Reward
Everything was settled, Tianqi, who had not been favored, defeated the strongest person of Lan Cangguo with a thunderous momentum, and won smoothly, this victory not only slapped Lan Cangguo in the face, but also slapped the face of the person who looked down on him.
At this moment, Tianqi, who had already stepped off the stage, slowly walked towards the high platform amid the cheers of everyone, waiting for Ye Wuchen's reward, passing by Murong Hao's resting place, Tianqi looked at the seriously injured Murong Hao, remembered what he said when he was on the stage, and teased faintly: "Now you should know who is a waste, right?"
Facing what Tianqi said, Murong Hao's face turned red, and he stopped talking, not daring to break out, after all, he lost to Yan Bing, and Tianqi defeated Yan Bing.
Seeing Murong Hao's embarrassment at the moment, Tianqi showed an intriguing smile, and after saying a word, he didn't pay attention to him anymore, and continued to walk towards the high platform, and at the end he didn't forget to say: "A soft egg with low strength!"
Watching Tianqi slowly leave, Murong Hao clenched his fists angrily and slammed it on the table, the teacups on the table fell to the ground and shattered one after another after being shaken, making a "bang" sound, and shouted in his heart: "Dare to say that I am a soft egg with low strength, you wait for me, one day I will let you see how powerful I am!"
Ye Wuchen, who was on the high platform, saw that Tianqi was about to come to the stage, and he also showed a look of relief, and shouted loudly: "Chivalrous Tianqi, resolute and brave, cultivation is extraordinary, today he wins glory for the country, fights strong enemies, and now rewards 10,000 taels of gold and silver, seals the country's residents, worships the second grade, gives an exclusive mansion, and rewards the royal refining secret recipe cinnamon incense liquid!"
After Ye Wuchen's reward, the ministers below were discussing again, and at the same time, there was a hint of envy in the discussion:
"Zheng Erpin, give an exclusive mansion, this status is second only to the Prime Minister, the Protector General and the Hou Ye, Tianqi is really soaring!"
"There is also cinnamon incense liquid, this is a special secret recipe for refining the body of the royal family, it is extremely magical, it is rumored that the founding emperor was kind to the great sect, and as a thank you gift, it is extremely precious!"
“......”
The hundred officials kept talking, and the man who had been pestering Tianqi just now also muttered alone: "This is really a great creation, if only he could marry my daughter! ”
After hearing this, the minister beside him was speechless for a while.
“......”
"Tianqi thanked the lord of the country!" After Ye Wuchen was rewarded, Tianqi saw that it was so rich, so Tianqi clasped his hands and thanked Ye Wuchen.
"The reward has been completed, and I have said that if you win, I will grant you a request, I wonder if you can think about it now?"
"My lord, I've thought about it. ”
"Well, if you say it, I will be satisfied!"
Tianqi hesitated and said, "I want to marry Mo Jie'er!"
As soon as Tianqi finished speaking, the ministers who were discussing with each other fell silent, and Ye Wuchen and Situ Qing, who were on the high platform, also entered a short period of silence. Mo Jie'er blushed even more.
There was no sound around me for a moment, but now if a pin dropped on the ground, it could be heard.
After a short silence, everyone gradually reacted, but the civil and military officials who reacted did not talk and remained silent. Everyone knows that Ye Wuchen has long intended to marry Mo Jie'er and Murong Hao, so as to balance the Protector General's Mansion through the marriage between the prime minister and the marquis. But at this moment, Tianqi proposed to marry Mo Jie'er, which made the ministers not know what to do for a while.
For the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, this matter is fine as long as he remains silent, but for Ye Wuchen, it has become very tricky.
He had said that he would promise any request from Tianqi, but at this moment he raised this matter, which also made Ye Wuchen unable to choose, if he agreed, it would affect the relationship between the prime minister and the Hou Ye, and it would not be able to play a role in checks and balances, if he did not agree, it would be a broken promise, but as the head of a country, how could he be untrustworthy, not to mention that hundreds of civil and military officials were present at this time.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Wuchen looked at Mo Jie'er and asked, "Jie'er, Tianqi offered to marry you, I wonder if you are willing?"
When Tianqi raised this matter, Mo Jie'er blushed, and when she heard Ye Wuchen ask, Mo Jie'er said in a shy voice: "The major events of life are all arranged by the lord of the country!"
After Mo Jie'er finished speaking, Tianqi was overjoyed, and her answer proved that she was willing. But after Ye Wuchen heard this, he felt even more difficult in his heart, he wanted to refuse Tianqi with Mo Jie'er's hand, but he thought that Mo Jie'er would answer like this.
After a short period of thought, Ye Wuchen had a result, and it was a taboo to govern the country that the generals could not check and balance each other, so he did not allow any differences between the phases, and said:
"This matter involves Jie'er's lifelong affairs, I should follow the decision of her parents, so I can't make a decision on my own, after a while, I asked his parents, and then give you an answer. Now everyone moved back to the main hall, and the state banquet continued. After speaking, he waved his sleeves and walked down the high platform towards the main hall.
Looking at the people in the distance, Tianqi had never moved, and he vaguely guessed the reason why Ye Wuchen did not agree now.
But just when Tianqi was standing still, a lazy voice came: "I see that you are a toad who wants to eat swan meat, do you really think that you can marry Jie'er after defeating a few nobodies in the Lancang Kingdom?"
Facing the provocation of Murong Hao, who was limping behind him, Tianqi instantly burst out with an astonishing momentum, and said: "Say I'm low? I am now a protector of the country given by the lord of the country, and the official worships the second grade, and you are just the son of the marquis, no lord and no official, I think you are begging for a fight now!"
Looking at Tianqi, whose momentum was soaring, the injured Murong Hao knew that it was not his opponent, so he immediately put away his arrogance and said: "Let me tell you, this is the royal schoolyard, not a place to mess around, if you alarm Jinyiwei, you will have good fruit to eat." ”
After Murong Hao finished speaking, Tianqi also realized this, if he made a rash move at this moment, he would definitely fall into the handle, and marrying Mo Jie'er would also turn into a bubble, so he put away the skyrocketing momentum. He no longer paid attention to Murong Hao, and walked towards the main hall in the direction where Ye Wuchen disappeared.
Watching Tianqi leave, Murong Hao showed arrogance again: "Hmph, if I hadn't fought first and spent a lot of strength, I wouldn't have been defeated, and when I recover from my injuries, I will definitely defeat you!" Let everyone know who the real leader is." After thinking about it, Murong Hao also left the school with the support of his family.
Coming to the main hall, Tianqi continued to enjoy the song and dance, but according to the beginning, Tianqi's status had changed dramatically, and hundreds of officials came to make friends at all times.
And the state banquet lasted until nightfall, when it officially ended.
