"I have summed up a rule, as long as Grandpa Gao comes to our house, good things will come. Song Li sat beside his father and said with a smile: "Is there any good news to announce this time?"

Gao Fuxiang said with a smile: "King Ming, look, the prince is wise and wise, and he is about to catch up with you." You guessed it right, His Majesty the Holy Emperor sent me here this time to invite the prince to attend the court meeting. It is said that he will promote you to an official. ”

Song Xinghai smiled and said, "Li'er, this time you are going to go to court with me." Your Holy Emperor Uncle will reward you well. ”

Song Li nodded and said with a smile: "I'll go with me to see the situation first, but I have said something before." It's okay for me to be an official, but it can't restrict my freedom. If it's an official who doesn't have to do much, has a lot of power, and has more money, the better, then I might as well do it, otherwise I don't agree. ”

Song Xinghai and Gao Fuxiang glanced at each other, and then they all burst out laughing.

"This kid, His Majesty the Holy Emperor's reward, do you dare to pick and choose?" Song Xinghai glared at him amusedly, and scolded: "Be careful that he picks your head melon seeds." ”

Gao Fuxiang said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince is quick to speak, and there are fewer and fewer people who dare to tell the truth these years. ”

The three of them laughed for a while, drank two cups of tea, and then rode the carriage of the Ming prince, surrounded by a group of guards, and marched towards the court.

When the father and son of King Ming entered the Golden Palace, they found that the ministers of civil and military affairs had almost arrived, and they were seated in two rows.

Prince Ming's seat is at the front, second only to Prince Zhong, and tied with King Jing Song Xingguang.

Although Song Li has no official position for the time being, he is the prince of the Holy Emperor's canonization, second only to the county king in terms of title, and higher than the duke, so his seat is ranked behind Song Xingyun, the king of Kangjun, and several white-haired dukes still have to sit behind him. This is the privilege of the royal family, and ordinary people can't envy it.

The ministers were more or less surprised to see that Song Li had also gone to the court. The minister, who had already received some of the information, whispered to the people around him, and soon the news that the Holy Emperor was going to canonize Song Li's actual official position spread throughout the Golden Palace, and everyone's eyes were complicated when they looked at Song Li.

Previously, Song Li's amazing performance in the Alchemist Competition caused a sensation in the entire imperial capital, I don't know when it began, this waste firewood, which has always been rumored to be a laughing stock, used one shocking performance after another, subverting everyone's impression of him bit by bit. Some time ago, he successively blew up several famous murderers in the imperial capital, which already surprised everyone. Unexpectedly, this was just an appetizer, Song Li not only suddenly exploded in cultivation, but also burst out with a jaw-dropping alchemy talent!

In the Alchemist Competition, he sacrificed the pill with essence blood, and turned defeat into victory within five hours, and his performance of turning the tide made the people in the imperial capital still fascinated by it!

No matter how unwilling these ministers were to admit it, they couldn't change the fact that Song Li had risen at the speed of light! A seventeen-year-old senior alchemist had never appeared in the entire Holy Lion Empire for hundreds of years! Of course, they didn't know that Song Li was now a super alchemist. If you know, I don't know what kind of shock it will cause!

The ministers of the Ming Wangfu Alliance were naturally full of appreciation when they looked at Song Li's eyes, and they were also glad that they had made the right decision. With Song Li's current development momentum, the strength of the Ming Wangfu will only get stronger and stronger, and with such a towering tree on its back, there is no reason not to worry.

Those ministers who were in the hostile camp of the Ming Wangfu were even more worried. With Song Li's demonic rise speed, no one can predict how far they will grow in the future, is it really a good deal for them to offend a talented Dan Master?

As for those neutrals who are still waiting, their hearts are beginning to be alive. Before the Holy Emperor reused King Ming, the strength of Prince Zhong's line was obviously stronger. But since the Holy Emperor reused King Ming, the gap between the two sides has gradually narrowed, and they are now in a period of tug-of-war. But the sudden rise of Song Li, the son of the Ming Dynasty, seems to be about to break this balance. Although it is not obvious that the effect is still visible, but in time, who knows how much trouble this demonic genius alchemist will make?

If you wait for others to grow and then lean on it, wouldn't it be a little too late?

Prince Zhong glanced back, and Song Li grinned, revealing his trademark eight small white teeth. Prince Zhong snorted coldly and turned his head. On the day of the Alchemist Competition, Song Li embarrassed him in public, and this old boy hasn't forgotten it.

When Tinsley was shot to death by the Assassins with a poisoned needle, Song Li immediately questioned Prince Zhong as to why he did not react to the incident. Although this is not much evidence that can be convicted. But there will still be some people who will think about it based on what Song Li said, yes, the alchemist of the Rambis Kingdom was killed, and even the Holy Emperor was surprised, why was Prince Zhong not surprised at all?

Maybe he was trying to pretend that this matter had nothing to do with him, but sometimes he was too late and wanted to cover it up, according to the logical thinking of normal people, Prince Zhong's performance that day was indeed a little too calm.

With Song Li's god-like performance that day, his reputation was unmatched. The people watching the battle on the spot naturally believed in his words, so it was inevitable that they would have doubts about this "virtuous king" who had always been. Although he failed to convict Prince Zhong, Song Li had already planted a seed of doubt in people's hearts. For the reputation that Prince Zhong has deliberately erected over the years, there has been a lot of damage to some extent.

The people in the market are very keen on conjecture and spread this kind of conspiracy and shady things, and the news reported back by Prince Zhong's spies during this period of time all illustrates this. Prince Zhong was very depressed to find that the people were bewitched by Song Li and had already had a great deal of suspicion about him, the "virtuous king".

Prince Zhong's city is extremely deep, if he didn't really hate Song Li, how could he openly slap his face on top of the main hall?

Song Li knew that this old guy was starting to be a little unable to sit still. If you're in a hurry, I'm afraid you're not in a hurry. Although the dog will jump off the wall when it is in a hurry, it will also show a big flaw. It's best not to be caught by Lao Tzu, otherwise you will be crippled with a stick!

"The Holy Emperor has arrived!" the two chamberlains walked out first, chanting loudly, and then saw the Holy Emperor walking out of the inner hall and sitting on the dragon chair that belonged to him.

After the ministers were courtesy, they returned to their seats and sat down. Song Li remembered that when he watched costume dramas in his previous life, only the emperor was sitting on the top of the Golden Palace, and the ministers were all standing. But the order of the court of the Holy Lion Empire seems to be different, and the ministers have their own seats. Song Li felt that this was still more humane. Everyone is a person with status, how can they stand up to work?

The Holy Emperor glanced at Song Li with a smile and winked at him mysteriously. Song Li knew that this was the Holy Emperor sending a message to him, telling him to get ready. There may be a good show to play later.

"Zhong Aiqing, can there be a recital? There is a morning recital, and there is no curtain to retreat. The Holy Emperor said his customary opening remarks, even though he knew that he had something to announce today.

Wen Liren, the first assistant of the cabinet, stood up from his seat, came to the center of the main hall, and arched his hand: "Your Excellency, the minister has a book. ”

The Holy Emperor waved his hand and smiled, "Wen Aiqing, please speak." ”

Wen Liren said slowly: "Song Li, the prince of the Ming Dynasty's Mansion, has reached adulthood, and his performance in the Alchemist Competition is amazing, not only winning the first place in the three rankings, but also becoming the champion of this Alchemist Competition. He also stained the arena with blood and repelled the invasion of the alchemists of the enemy country, which not only washed away the shame of the alchemy world, but also washed away the shame of our entire empire! Such a great achievement cannot be ignored. Therefore, Weichen convened a cabinet meeting to determine the proposal to canonize Song Li as an official, and asked the Holy Emperor to make a final decision. ”

There are two kinds of official selection in the Holy Lion Empire, one is to pass the imperial examination, which is the most formal selection, and the vast majority of officials come out of this path. Another way is the cabinet appointment system. This is a specially established road to becoming an official in order to reward those who have made great contributions to the country and the people. Of course, after the cabinet meeting is passed, the final consent of the Holy Emperor is required.

When the first assistant of the cabinet was in the hands of Prince Zhong, they used to install many cronies into the officialdom through this way. Now that the head of the cabinet has changed hands, the cabinet is effectively in the hands of the Holy Emperor, and he has begun to use this rule to install his own people.

"The Alchemist Guild and the Imperial Court have never been a system, and they are not under our jurisdiction. Song Li's performance in the Alchemist Competition was eye-catching, and he was rewarded by his own Alchemist Guild, so it doesn't have much to do with us, right? As far as I know, he has been exceptionally promoted to a councillor of the Alchemist Guild, which has already set a precedent for the guild. The king thought that this was enough, and there was no need for the court to reward him again. Prince Zhong's face sank like water, and everyone could hear the coldness in his words.

In the past, when things like this were all his pawns jumping out to oppose it. This time, Prince Zhong personally went out, which shows his hatred for Song Li. (http：／/）。

"Prince Zhong's words are wrong, although the Alchemist Guild is relatively **, they are still the Alchemist Guild of the Holy Lion Empire, this is an ironclad fact, and no one can change it. If it weren't for Song Li repelling the alchemists of the enemy country, I think it wasn't just the Alchemist Guild that would be humiliated, right?

"When there is an invasion by foreign enemies, I think we should no longer emphasize the differences between the imperial court and the Alchemist Guild, but should be unanimous with the outside world, see each other as a whole, and share weal and woe. That's why I said that Song Li is not only winning glory for the Alchemist Guild, but also for all the people of our Holy Lion Empire. No one can deny this!" Wen Liren was an eloquent and eloquent man, and he unceremoniously fought back against Prince Zhong's objections.

"Yes, thinking about the reaction of the people of the imperial capital that day, you know that Song Li's honor is not only the honor of the Alchemist Guild, but also the honor of all the people of the empire. The reward of the Alchemist Guild does not conflict with the reward of the imperial court, and an outstanding talent like Song Li must be absorbed and contribute more to the country and the people. Yin Xiangying, the imperial capital, stood up in solidarity with Wen Liren.
