If Tang Ling's salute to Li Longji is a courtesy of a monarch and a minister, and this can still be accepted by everyone, then Li Longji's return gift is enough to make everyone present shocked.
Today's emperor, the true son of heaven, actually salutes others in front of everyone?
Such a move represents only one point.
The status of the Fengyun King in the Tang Dynasty is no less than that of Taizong's return!
Although everyone knew that the Fengyun King was not an extraordinary figure, and they also tried their best to overestimate his status in the eyes of the Li family, no matter how they guessed, they couldn't imagine that he actually occupied such a lofty position in the hearts of the current emperor.
After receiving Li Longji's salute sideways, Tang Ling said: "I heard that today is the day when the new lord of the underworld takes office, and Tang Ling's cheekiness has also come to join in the fun, and I hope the emperor will not blame." β
Goodbye Fengyun King, Li Longji was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "If there was no guidance from Fengyun King back then, Longji would not have been able to regain the Tang Dynasty, and there would be no situation where the three major forces are helping the world together. It is no exaggeration to say that the Fengyun King is my benefactor of the Tang Dynasty, so how dare Longji say 'blame'? β
Tang Ling didn't shirk it, and after saluting Li Longji again, he was already sitting on the white jade armchair.
The masked boy behind Tang Ling was Xiao Jing, and then he asked Tang Ling in a low voice: "Master, don't you understand......
"I don't understand why I brought you here today?" Tang Ling asked rhetorically, "Do you remember the position I asked you to take?"
"Practice the way of mortals until you reach the pinnacle and maintain the balance of humanity. β
"How should we practice the way of mortals?"
"Seven emotions and six desires are the nature of human beings, joys and sorrows are inevitable in life, poverty, poverty and luxury, all of which are encountered in the practice of humanity, and only by maintaining one's own heart, not being too isolated, not excessively sad and joyful, can we carry it out to the end." β
"Not bad. Tang Ling's words were full of satisfaction, "You were at a low point in your life before because of the nine days, and your life was in danger, but you can still face it calmly. That's what gave me the idea of making you the heir king, and today is the beginning of the second study I've set for you. β
While the master and apprentice were talking, the inauguration ceremony of the new lord of the underworld had begun in the drums of war. I saw Shi Tiandao and Zhan Reincarnation each holding a thing with both hands, walking up to the stage, standing on the left and right sides of Qin Jingsheng.
Xiao Jing looked at it with a little curiosity: "A knife, a robe?"
Tang Ling opened his mouth to answer: "Yes, those are the two great treasures of the underworld: the Soul Shaking Knife and the Ten Thousand Shadows Robe, which can also be said to be the token of the Lord of the underworld. β
Looking at the platform of the underworld, Shi Tiandao and Zhan Reincarnation lifted the two tokens above the top, knelt down on one knee at the same time, and preached in unison: "The underworld is blessed by the emperor, since its establishment in the fifth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, it has gone through thirty-eight years. Now the third Hades King is about to take office, and he has sworn from now on!"
Qin Jingsheng also held his fists high and said loudly: "Qin Jingsheng, a grass citizen, has received the favor of the imperial court and assumed the position of the king of the underworld today, so I hereby swear: During my term of office, I will keep in mind the emperor's grace, protect the country and defend the family, and never give up! If Jingsheng violates the oath, people and gods will be punished, and if the underworld breaks the contract, it will turn into scorched earth!"
"Pleaseβgive me a token!"
Shi Tiandao and Zhan Reincarnation held up the two tokens a few points higher, and the expressions on their faces were more respectful.
Tang Ling sat on the chair and only instructed Xiao Jing: "You go down and hand over the Soul Shaking Soul Sword to Qin Jingsheng." β
Xiao Jing was stunned for a moment, but saw that on the high platform next to him, the crown prince Li Heng had already walked down the stairs to the platform of the underworld, so he didn't want to ask too much, and also walked down the stairs. The surrounding civil and military officials, and the knights of the rivers and lakes saw that this masked young man who did not show his true face actually wanted to coronate Qin Jingsheng with the prince of the current dynasty, although he did not dare to discuss it due to the limitation of the occasion, but none of them secretly guessed his true identity in their hearts, and finally naturally determined that this young man was the next successor of the King of Wind and Cloud without exception, so they all made up their minds: if they have the opportunity, they will have a good relationship with this young man, and perhaps the key to becoming famous and prosperous in the future is in this young man.
Although the King of Wind and Cloud does not have any real power, this number is far more intimidating than any real power, and his successor, although not well-known now, will never be a mediocre talent.
The most important point is that although today's Fengyun King can't climb high, his successor is just a weak-crowned young man who has not been deeply involved in the world, who can guarantee that he will not become the next Fengyun King's friend?
At this time, Li Heng and Xiao Jing almost walked down the steps side by side, as the crown prince of the dynasty, he had his own set of skills, and unlike the speculations of everyone present, Li Heng decided that he was the heir of the Fengyun King when he saw Tang Ling ordering Xiao Jing to be parallel to himself. At this moment, he glanced at the masked young man beside him, and only felt that although the other party's appearance and demeanor were immature, he seemed to contain all kinds of life inside, including the loftiness of the ancient kings and the mediocrity of ordinary people, but in the blink of an eye, it revealed the casualness of a hermit outside the world. The further down Li Heng went, the more he focused on Xiao Jing, the more he felt inexplicably stunned.
"Although this young man seems to be young, why does he reveal an unfathomable feeling?
Li Heng naturally knew the relationship between the Blood Sea and the Fengyun King, and he also knew a little about the relationship between Li Changhe and the others and Tang Ling. And at the time of the Fengyun King's wedding that day, he found out from Mo Lengyan's mouth that the Fengyun King had newly accepted a young man as a disciple, and he planned to inherit his title of Fengyun King by this young man. Seeing Xiao Jing just now, although Tang Ling came together, he was already seven or eight points sure of his identity, and now he saw that he was ordered by Tang Ling to give a token to Qin Jingsheng, and he even believed that Xiao Jing was the next Fengyun King. At the same time, he also made a calculation in his heart: no matter what, he must find out the true identity of this teenager and befriend him!
Before long, they had already walked before Qin Jingsheng.
Qin Jingsheng bowed his head and knelt in front of Li Heng and Xiao Jing.
Shi Tiandao held the Wan Yu robe in his hand, and bowed down to Li Heng: "Please give Wan Yu robe to add to the body, so that the underworld will be blessed by the heavenly family, and deter the evil spirits from all sides!"
Li Heng took Wan You's robe and draped it on Qin Jingsheng's body.
Immediately, Zhan Reincarnation also held the Soul Shaking Soul Knife with both hands, and bowed down to Xiao Jingming: "Please give the Soul Shaking Soul Knife in your hand, so that the underworld will be favored by the wind and clouds, and sweep away the enemies from all directions!"
Xiao Jing took the Soul Shaking Sword.
Qin Jingsheng also raised his hands and made a look of preparing to take on the treasure knife.
Tang Ling sat alone on the high platform, looking at the new lord of the underworld from a distance, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned under the white light.
After today's coronation, can the erector of the day have some growth?
That remains to be seen.
However.
This son is now agitated, his soul is trembling, and he is obviously in a state of extreme depression in his heart, as if he thinks that the current scene is a lifelong shame for him?
At this time, Xiao Jing had already placed the Soul Shaking Soul Knife in Qin Jingsheng's hand.
Holding the treasure knife in his hand, Qin Jingsheng never raised his head, just because his low-pitched face was hideous.
Although the evidence is unknown, his father's death must be inseparable from the sea of blood, and now he has to grovel in front of the heirs of the Fengyun King.
