The mermaids of the Twelve Swords Sect entered the Ming Hall, and they either wore swords or carried sword boxes. The son of the leader was not wearing a Taoist robe, but a worldly and beautiful brocade robe, and he had a handcuff hanging from his waist—similar to the one used by the seven-turn puppet when I fought to the death with Xiaoyue.

The rich and noble prince in brocade looked at Princess Lin on the right side of the throne, and his face twitched slightly, like a clear wave blowing in the wind.

"The leader of the Sword Sect is Weiyang, the son of the Tang family, who was third on the list of mountains and rivers last year. ”

Pian Pian informed me with her divine thoughts.

Dao fetus Jin Dan can restrain his mind without waves. Tang Weiyang's expression didn't know whether he was deliberately dissatisfied with the Son of Heaven's respect for Gong Lin, or if he was so surprised that he leaked it out.

The boy in brocade suddenly passed me a divine thought,

"Xiaoyue's matter is not right, I apologize to Yuan Daoyou. ”

Xiao Zhi took Tang Weiyang's puppet, I still have a weak heart, and I can't think of how to answer him for a while,

"At the Lantern Festival banquet, I look forward to a fair battle with Tang Daoyou. ”

I responded.

He smiled indifferently.

Tang Weiyang was followed by the Dao Fetus Jin Dan Zhong Dajun - Xiaoyue was really punished from the imperial capital by the Sword Sect (I don't know if he really went to face the wall); I didn't see Lin Chaoyan in the Badu chariot and horse train yesterday; I quietly asked Liu Ziyue and Pianpian if there was a figure of Mo Yubing, the ninth in the mountain and river list, in the mission of the Pianpian Sword Sect, and they shook their heads.

After that, Zhong Dajun was the other Sword Sect members who went to the Lantern Festival banquet. I have studied their information, and among the nine of them, there are three Sword Masters of the Upper Jin Dan and six masters of forging armor and armor. At the end of the Sword Sect mission was Lin Daoming's closed disciple Qin Xiao - he hadn't seen him for a few months, and the young man Zhenyuan was full of cultivation and had reached the middle level of Jindan - it seemed that he had a very deep enlightenment in the battle of Yunmeng, and he had also refined several Five Elements Spirit Beads.

The puppet attendants were seated for the twelve members of the Sword Sect.

They congratulated each other on New Year's Day with the Son of Heaven, and lined up in the ranks headed by Wuhou of the West Chamber, facing us-for-tat.

"The envoys of the Xuan princes go to the palace!", "The envoys of the Xuan princes go to the palace!", "The envoys of the Xuan princes go to the palace-!" The inner servants and puppets relayed the decree one by one, and handed it to the outside of the Ming Hall and in the magnificent palace city like the beacon fire of the beacon tower.

In a short time, the envoys of the princes flocked into the palace, and the puppets of the attendants held the banners of the princes of each town to guide them to the ranks.

The puppet holding the Flying Tiger Banner led a prince into the room.

"Tianbo Hou, the general of the expedition to the west, Guo Zihan, pilgrimage to His Majesty!"

But it was not Yuwen Batu, the head of the princes in the order of the reciting the court.

The tough man he had seen in the Bamboo Pavilion walked into the hall quickly, stood still under the steps of the Son of Heaven, and meticulously performed the courtesy of his subordinates.

"The minister was ordered to go to Beijing this time, and ordered 300 tigers and leopards to ride and 20,000 Qin Wang. The army is stationed in the western suburbs of Gyeonggi, at the disposal of the imperial court, and when the military order arrives, it will send troops to Hebei, and there is no slack!"

The young man is gentle and exhorting,

"Tianbo Hou is really a pillar of the imperial court. This retreat of the demon tide must be listed on the portrait of Aiqing on the meritorious pavilion of the Taimiao. ”

Guo Zihan thanked the Son of Heaven and sat on his couch, his eyes did not intersect with anyone, and no divine thoughts came out.

"Tongbao Hou Shangguan Tianquan sent an envoy to make a pilgrimage to His Majesty!"

The money flag leads, and the purple-clothed messenger enters the Ming Hall to congratulate the Son of Heaven,

"My lord and the East China Sea dragon demon in the South Sea Road, the road is blocked, it is inconvenient to send troops, the lord ordered me to transfer the money and grain of the province to the imperial capital army, which can support the king's army for several months. ”

The envoy is Jin Yunqiao, a retainer of Shangguan who I have met with Lingyamen, I haven't seen her for half a year, and she has already driven out the three corpse insects under Gongsun Wenlong. Pian Pian Shen told me in her mind: This is her father who accepted the instructions of the head of Qing Yu. In the past hundred years, Shangguan Tianquan has only sprinkled pills and jewels on bribing courtiers, and has not contributed a single soldier or money to the court.

"General Zuo Nangong Tengjiao sent an envoy to make a pilgrimage to His Majesty!"

In the lead of the Qinglong Banner, a clear old envoy entered the Ming Hall to congratulate the Son of Heaven. I used to nominally belong to the Blue Dragon Society, but at that time, when I was young, I had no contact with the big people under Nangong Tengjiao. This old man's breath was as deep as an abyss, and I vaguely felt that even if he was not a Dao Fetus Jin Dan, he was also a leader in the upper Jin Dan.

"On the orders of the sovereign, see His Majesty. The old man bowed deeply, "The lord is the vanguard of the governor of the south of the Yangtze River, and he has fought to the death with the East China Sea Demon Dragon for many months, repeatedly defeated the demons, and the soldiers are tired. The town was unable to send troops to the king, and the lord ordered me to dedicate five ships and sixty-four dragon boats to protect His Majesty. ”

Juvenile jaw head,

"The building boat and dragon boat can be handed over to the military department and incorporated into the Great River Water Division. Nangong Aiqing was originally a righteous citizen, but the emperor was deceived by traitors and had to sneak into the rivers and seas. Fang can see the sun today, and he can do his best for the court. ”

The little emperor was stunned and asked the general Yang Pengnian, "In the Battle of Yunmeng, there was a person from the Star Sect named Nangong Panshi who made great contributions, but General Zuo's son and nephew?"

"Your Majesty, Nangong Panshi is the son of Nangong Tengjiao, who is quiet and has a big strategy. "The idol praises the judgment of the young man.

"General Zuo's son, Nangong Panshi, can be given to General Zhenhai of Sanpin. The boy said.

The old man bowed again, "The prince can't accept this title of general. ”

The idol was about to attack, and the boy motioned for him to be quiet,

"Why?"

The young man asked softly.

"The sovereign has given up the position of family governor to the prince of Nangong and is concentrating on assisting the young master. On Chinese New Year's Eve, the Taiwei Mansion should have received the above table from Shizi's request to succeed to the position of General Zuo. The old man replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

- Nangong got the cicada of the King of Chu Jin Cicada and a good variety of baby puppets, such as the rich accumulation of so that he has enough confidence to go to the world.

I can't help but sigh. Nangong Tengjiao, as a strong Yuanying powerhouse, decisively retreated behind the scenes to assist, which is really the same heart of father and son.

Tai Lieutenant Yan Luo Bai came out of the class to play: "I think it is Chinese New Year's Eve that many military attaches in the Tai Lieutenant Mansion are on rotation, and this cousin has not had time to read it. ”

Yesterday, Yan Luobai was busy connecting with Yuwen Badu, so how could he have time to take care of the official affairs of the Taiwei Mansion. I thought to myself.

The emperor was silent for a while, and then said:

"In this case, I have a sister named Princess Roufu, who is twenty-eight years old and looks good. Nangong Panshi is so talented, it is the puppet of Roufu. can marry General Zuo Nangong Panshi as his wife. If Panshi and Roufu have children, they can attack the position of General Sanpin Zhenhai. ”

Nangong had a marriage contract with Ao Jiu before, but later the Dragon Clan turned against his family, and this wife flew away;

It suddenly occurred to me that the Nangong family turned out to be pirates. If Panshi marries Princess Roufu, won't he become a concubine? In the past, the Nangong family was nominally subordinate to Yuwen Batu, but once he became a relative of the emperor's family, how could the governor of Jiangnan order the Nangong family?

Mingtang was silent.

No one dared to take the young emperor's command.

The emperor smiled,

"I almost forgot: this is my family matter, and it is inconvenient for outsiders to ask about it. Zong Renqing, Roufu Royal Sister's favorite young hero, you go and talk to her about this marriage. You don't have to put pressure on her in my name. ”

The ranks of civil officials stepped out to receive a promise.

The waiter ushered the old man into the table, and the old man's gaze swept over me.

The remaining small princes entered the Ming Hall in turn to congratulate, or promised to donate troops and ordnance, or promised to donate money and food.

When he arrived, the inner servant spread the pilgrimage of Yuan Zhi, the leader of the Hebei Righteous Army.

In the lead of the eagle flag, the handsome girl in white walked into the Ming Hall. The courtiers shook slightly.

Pian Pian couldn't help but be moved, "Is this the sister of the junior brother?"

I smile proudly.

"It's really a wonderful hand that Danqing can't describe!" the girl in Tsing Yi praised.

Taishi Xun Si started the class:

"Your Majesty, Yuan Zhi is the first leader of the Hebei Righteous Army, and the current president Yan Zhao has 100,000 soldiers and horses. Hebei thieves are rampant, and there are very few loyal to the royal family. The old minister was ordered to recruit An, and the former general responded with the first righteousness. ”

Murong Zhi saluted the emperor and said in a clear voice,

"The hearts of the people in Hebei are not even. This demon tide Yan Zhao's people are condensed in danger, and only then can they inspire the heroes with the banner of loyalty and righteousness, and dare not be greedy for the merits of the sky. ”

――It turns out that Xiao Zhi, the leader of the alliance, is also very unstable. It's just that she, a woman who is bent on dominating the world, talks about loyalty to the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, which is really a ridiculous thing in the world.

The ministers above the Ming Hall were solemn, and no one noticed her hypocrisy.

The young man thought for a while,

"It is rumored that Yuan Zhi and Kunlun's Former Sword Sect Immortal Elder are siblings?"

The young Danfeng Meime met me for the first time. My thoughts shook as I felt a strange sense of déjà vu that had come over me, as if we had been together recently.

Taishi Xun Si said diligently,

"The Son of Heaven is wise. ”

"Hebei fell to the demon for a year, the original Aiqing uprising banner unified heroes to serve the emperor's family, and the heart of loyalty made the world admire. You can give the three rank and level demon generals! The heroes under Aiqing's command who do not have rank titles, the Taiwei Mansion can discuss and confer military positions together!"

Taiwei Yan Luo Bai only obeyed orders.

Murong Zhi thanked her, but did not return to her position in the court.

Taiwei Yan Luobai scolded, "I really don't know how to be polite!"

The maiden ignored him, and said to the emperor,

"The minister's father, Yuan Yi, was originally a general under the command of the left general Nangong Tengjiao, and he had the courage of ten thousand men and the posture of righteousness; There are demons in the East China Sea, and the father of the courtier kills them, and the Japanese people of the kamikaze country do not accept it, and the father of the courtier rebels against them. Unfortunately, he died in a shipwreck, and his parents' bones have nowhere to return, so he is looking forward to the Son of Heaven posthumously giving him a name!"

- My father did kill the demons of the East China Sea and the people of the kamikaze country for Nangong Tengjiao, but it was for Nangong to conquer the city. Through Murong's mouth, his father changed from a pirate to a hero of Middle-earth and a loyal servant of the emperor.

"Such a loyal person, I should be commended: Yuan Yi can posthumously give the title of General Sanpin Pingwei and list it in the Taimiao Martyrs' Shrine. Du Shi posthumously gave Mrs. Jielie. ”

The boy sighed.

"Thank you. ”

Murong Zhi returned to the princes' shift in the most corner, and was speechless.

I had mixed feelings and didn't know what to say.

All the princes' envoys have completed the ceremony, but Yuwenba still hasn't come.

Mingtang was silent.

The ceremonial officer finished his presentation to the emperor.

"King Wanliqin, the governor of the capital, only entered the imperial capital last night. The journey is tiring, and being late for the court meeting is also a last resort. Anyway. ”

The Son of Heaven smiled and turned to Princess Lin, the right of the emperor's throne, like a spring breeze

"Kunlun is one of the four major sects of the Daomen, and the princess is the Great Sage of Xizhou. The princess and your ancestor are 100,000 miles away from my Middle Earth. If you ask for something, I won't allow it!"

The girl made a very embarrassed expression, and then said:

"We Kunlun have seen the hardships of the people of Zhongzhou all the way. If His Majesty is generous, we Kunlun will be allowed to set up palaces in various counties in Zhongzhou to help the suffering!"

――Is this the content of the bag that Wenhou gave her?

Mingtang was silent.

The twelve members of the Sword Sect had grim faces.

-- If the Son of Heaven agrees, from now on we Kunlun will have a firm foothold in the heart of Zhongzhou.

"The matter is big, and the mention of the royal sister will be handed over to the secretary of state for discussion - I am very pleased with your ancestor's intention to help the world and save people. This dynasty takes the Sword Sect as the teacher, and the master of the heavens and the people of the sect slash the demons and slay the demons, and ensure the coarse peace of the world; if there is another noble sect to treat the disease and provide disaster relief, the world can be peaceful. ”

After all, he is not an emperor with a mountain of orders.

Long live the Qunchen Mountain. I don't know if it's the Tai Chi pusher who celebrates the boy is as wonderful as a grandmaster.

Princess Lynn stared at me,

The Son of Heaven asked again,

"What is the request of Kunlun's original little immortal chief? ”

I calmed down and replied in a warm voice according to Ji Liuli's instructions,

"It is rumored that the "Dictionary of Civilization" in the Secretariat's Pavilion is the first book in the world. If I can be lucky enough to enter the secretary's cabinet to transcribe for a day, I will be grateful to His Majesty. ”

"Okay, this is a trivial matter! On the seventh day of the first month, I will study in the Central Secretary's Pavilion, so I will introduce the little immortal chief. But the "Dictionary of Civilization" is the most voluminous book in the world, and I am afraid that your sect can only copy the catalog of one library in a day!"

This light promise accidentally revealed the youthful nature of the Son of Heaven.

The ministers laughed.

――I understand Ji Zhenren's intention: this day's gathering is an opportunity for our Kunlun to contact the Son of Heaven. I had another task: I didn't care how many books I copied that day!

The young man retracted his smile and said solemnly:

"Last year, the fortune was difficult, and the demons and evil came out, poisoning the local creatures. Lai Daomen is on the immortal rescue, and the people have a temporary respite. I am blessed by the mandate of Heaven to protect the people, and my gratitude is beyond words. The special Lantern Festival banquet will wash the dust of the immortals of the four major sects, and thank you for chatting about the size of the table!"

There was no skew in his words. I don't know if it's to thank us or Xie Jianzong a little more.

Sword Sect Tang Weiyang led all the people to thank the Son of Heaven! Liu Ziyue stepped on my heel, and I also led the people of Kunlun to thank the Son of Heaven! The people of the Dragon and Tiger Sect thanked the Son of Heaven under the leadership of Meiwu City!

After the ceremony.

The general Yang Pengnian turned around and played to the Son of Heaven,

"The qualifications of the ministers are dull, the auxiliary government has been for decades, and the mental strength is wearing down day by day, and they are already overwhelmed. I beg the Son of Heaven to grant me to return to my home and cultivate!"

The young man seemed to have been informed of the instructions of the Sword Sect, and after a little surprise and retention, he agreed,

"I am young and virtuous, and I rely on your talents to help me get through the difficulties together. After the general is gone, who will replace him?"

Yang Pengnian said with a glance,

"His Majesty has the guidance of the emperor, and the military generals under his command are like clouds and rain. It only needs to be discussed by the ministers, and it is not difficult to elect the meritocracy, and the ministers dare not say a word. However, the ministers foolishly thought that they would be elected as old and heavy, not as young and frivolous!"

Taiwei Yanluo looked embarrassed. Taishi Xun Si's face was expressionless. Wen Hou's beautiful eyes seem to be looking down on the situation. The old and decadent Wuhou had already fallen asleep in the Ming Hall.

Guo Zihan's face was like a rock, and his voice did not move.

The young and frivolous person is naturally the prince who didn't even go to the Zhengdan court meeting.

Although Yang Pengnian didn't say it, he had already put forward his own candidate.

Suddenly, the chamberlain hurried in,

"Qiyu Majesty, the Governor of Yuwen sent an envoy to make a pilgrimage!"

The Son of Heaven and the ministers were stunned.

In the lead of the Qilin Flag, a yellow-clothed dog-headed messenger held a brocade box decorated with jewels and approached the Ming Hall.

- Batu has committed at least one more taboo: demon beasts are not allowed to enter the palace. This yellow-clothed dog-headed messenger is similar to the dog aura of Yuwen I caught a glimpse of last time, and it turns out that he is also a naturalized demon of the lower Jindan.

"The lord ordered his ministers to play His Majesty: Last night, the emperor sent a message to the governor of Hebei that the military situation was urgent, and the governor immediately rushed to the company camp. After a fierce battle, he killed the demon clan Yuanying Zuo Shuai and repelled Xiao Longyuan, the lord of the Rakshasa country. The demon soldiers have now retreated for three hundred miles, and the emperor has left the governor to drink tea in the military tent. ”

The attendants passed the wooden box on the relay,

The general opened the wooden box with a blushing face and examined it and presented it to the young man.

Taiwei Yan Luobai asked, "Is the one in the wooden box Xiao Tianyou, the Northern Sea Demon Dragon?"

The kobold replied:

"It's the demon dragon in the middle of the Yuan Infant! The Metropolitan Governor cut it into preserves when he was resting, and presented it to His Majesty as a New Year's Day gift!"

-- This is Batu's slap in the face to us! He has already acted in his way.

The sleepy old Wuhou suddenly opened his eyes, revealing two essences, and immediately closed them.

Guo Zihan came out of class,

"Congratulations!"

Wenhou also said,

"Congratulations to His Majesty. ”

Long live the Qunchen Mountain.

The Son of Heaven sighed,

"Emperor Taizu used the true dragon liver and true phoenix marrow as his diet back then, and he didn't want me to encounter such a grand event again today - give this great medicine and food to the ministers. ”

The ceremonial officer announced: Disperse the dynasty.
