The palace of the Great Song Kingdom, at this moment is illuminated by countless lanterns as if it were day, countless slaves and maidservants walk back and forth, they are holding gorgeous food in their hands, and the best wine is served into an altar, and the whole palace hall is filled with a rich aroma of wine and vegetables. In addition to the melodious sound of the guzheng and the qin, the entire hall seems to have become a paradise on earth, which is enough to make anyone happy.

In the center of the main hall, Zhao Kang, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, sat on the dragon chair, and his hair was already gray after being the emperor for twenty or thirty years, so it can be said that if there was no elixir to prolong his life, it would not be long before he died. But at this moment, his face was ruddy, his spirit was flying, and his eyes were shining with essence, as if his vitality had increased a lot in an instant, giving people the feeling that he could still live for more than ten years.

And at the bottom of the main hall, sitting under the emperor were not his favorite children and grandchildren, nor his favorite concubines, nor his most important princes and ministers, but Pan Hao and Wan Wan, two monks who won nearly a quarter of the land for the Great Song Kingdom.

After Pan Hao and Wan Wan, they are the most important figures in the Great Song Kingdom, the crown prince, the prince and then the queen, the princess, etc., and the princes and ministers in the back. The entire hall was filled with countless tables and chairs, and hundreds of people celebrated in it, but fortunately this hall was large enough, otherwise it would not have been possible to carry so many people.

At this moment, in the palace hall, the crowd is staggered, everyone present is raising their glasses and drinking, and laughter comes out from time to time, and the whole hall is surrounded by a joyful atmosphere.

Pan Hao sat in the first place on his left hand, the table in front of him was full of melons and fruits, and beside him, a woman with a bewitching figure and a beautiful face poured wine for him. Since the beginning of the banquet, Pan Hao has been quietly watching the singing and dancing at the venue, not because he covets the beauty of those singers, but because he is completely lost in thought. Otherwise, the woman beside him who served him was even more beautiful than the singer below.

Opposite Pan Hao, Wan Wan sat on the first place on her right hand, and she, like Pan Hao, had been sitting quietly since the banquet began. But even if she just sits quietly, her beauty is enough to tug at anyone's heartstrings, and many people look at her with hot eyes.

Wan Wan is different from Pan Hao, she doesn't care about the singing and dancing of the people below at all, in her opinion, the singing and dancing of these people are not on the stage at all. What intrigued her was the man opposite. What had been on his mind since the beginning of the feast, and he was still as deep as ever, and if he hadn't picked up his glass from time to time and drank, everyone would have thought he was asleep.

Today's banquet is a grand banquet held to celebrate the acquisition of dozens of cities by the Great Song Kingdom, and the protagonists are naturally Pan Hao and Wan Wan, who have contributed the most to the Five Kingdoms. But now the two of them don't have any intention of being happy, which makes the emperor of the Great Song Kingdom a little puzzled.

"Ahem!" The Great Song Emperor above coughed slightly, and the sound of many laughter and laughter below began to gradually quiet down, and the civil and military officials and many princes also sat down one by one. Pan Hao, who was originally in deep thought, also looked up at the emperor above because the entire hall was quiet.

"This time, my Great Song Kingdom was able to obtain eighty cities, and the land area was expanded by a quarter, so the great cause of expanding the territory is the credit of the two of them. With such great achievements, it is not an exaggeration for this emperor to confer two kings with different surnames and divide the land. But both of them are cultivators, and all the yellow and white things of the dust and the high-ranking officials have been discarded like a shoe, and the emperor really can't think of how to reward the two. Emperor Song smiled bitterly, the things that the monks needed in the Great Song Kingdom may have them, but even if they do, they are all in the ancestors behind them, although he is the emperor, but in the face of their ancestors, he does not dare to mention them.

After a slight hesitation, Emperor Song said again, "It's better to be like this, if the two of you have any needs or requirements, even if you put forward them, the emperor who can do it will definitely not refuse." ”

Pan Hao and Wan Wan glanced at each other, and Pan Hao said lightly, "I came to the Great Song Kingdom just to do one thing, and I will leave here when I finish doing something, everything in the red dust is useless to me." Speaking of this, Pan Hao glanced at the crown prince sitting beside him, and said, "Although I have contributed half of my strength to the Five Kingdoms Competition this time, if it is not recommended by the prince, I will not even be able to enter the palace compound, let alone participate in the Five Kingdoms Competition." I'm going to transfer my credit to the crown prince in exchange for him the position of prince, I wonder if it's feasible?"

There was a dead silence in the entire hall, Zhao Yi looked at Pan Hao with gratitude, while the other civil and military officials bowed their heads and drank one by one, and none of them dared to come forward to speak.

The position of the prince, that is the future emperor, don't look at Zhao Yi is the crown prince of the Song Kingdom, the position can overpower other princes, that is because he is the eldest son of the Song Kingdom, so he was named the crown prince. The crown prince only has a certain hope of becoming an emperor after the death of the emperor in the future, and the prince will definitely become the emperor after the death of the emperor, these are two different concepts, and when it comes to the position of the prince, this is not something that the following civil and military officials can interject.

It's also thanks to Pan Hao, a transcendent cultivator, who opened his mouth, if it was an ordinary person, even if his merits were higher, he dared to let the emperor crown him as the prince, and interfered in the major event of the replacement of the throne, no matter how high the merit was, it would be directly pulled out and cut.

Emperor Song sighed and said, "I also know that my time is running out, and my body is not as good as day by day. Yi'er is the crown prince of the Great Song Kingdom, and he is loyal and honest, and he knows how to be a king, so it is not difficult to make him the crown prince. It's just that Miss Wan Wan 、、、、、" Emperor Song looked at Wan Wan with an inquiring look in his eyes.

Wan Wan looked at Pan Hao's eyes with a flash of color, and said, "Earlier, I heard that there are many rare treasures and thousand-year-old elixirs in the palace treasury, I wonder if I can be lucky enough to enter them and select a few treasures?" Wan Wan ignored the eyes of the Seven Princes and looked at Emperor Song.

Emperor Song thought for a moment, then nodded: "Miss Wanwan won forty cities for my Great Song Kingdom, such a feat is the only time since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty. It's just a few rare treasures, and there are those in the treasure house, and the girl Wanwan can take them if she sees them. Emperor Song waved his hand and directly agreed to the matter.

The Seventh Prince not far from Wan Wan, the wine glass in his hand was tightly clenched by him, and his eyes were full of unwillingness. But what if you are unwilling? Now that Wan Wan has been given the opportunity to enter the treasure house, he is of no use to her, and Wan Wan will not help him speak.

Without Wan Wan's support, the prince got all the support of Pan Hao, and transferred all his credit to the prince, so much credit is enough to make the prince's achievements stand out and become the most popular among many princes, and the position of prince is within reach.

Sure enough, Emperor Song turned his gaze to the crown prince Zhao Yi, and then looked at the civil and military officials and said, "Today, my Great Song Dynasty defeated the three kingdoms of Wei, Han and Chu in one fell swoop on the Great Competition of the Five Kingdoms, and the territory was expanded. ”

After Emperor Song said this, Pan Hao could clearly see that most of the luck of the huge luck dragon in the palace of the Song Kingdom began to converge towards the head of the crown prince Zhao Yi at this moment, and the luck on Emperor Song's body began to gradually transfer, after all, his lifespan was not long.

"Ahem, cough, cough!" Sure enough, after Emperor Song's own luck was transferred to Zhao Yi, the illness that was originally suppressed by the Divine Dragon began to recover gradually.

Pan Hao secretly shook his head slightly, although the royal family gathers the luck of a country, even if it is a cultivator, it does not dare to kill the king of a country at will, but after the loss of luck of the king of a country, few people can become the emperor for a few years, and the biggest reason is the backlash of karma.

Any king, while possessing supreme power, also bears all the karmic karma of the entire nation. When you are on the throne, karma is suppressed by luck, but when you lose the throne, the karma caused by what you did in the early years or orders you gave will start to come back.

This is the power of a country's backlash, and if it is a wise king, the power of backlash cancels out the merits made in the past. If a mediocre emperor has done too many bad things, even if the luck of a country's strength cannot be maintained, it will definitely end up being overthrown by others.

Pan Hao got up and bowed his hand slightly to Emperor Song and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for accepting my favor." ”

Pan Hao picked up the flask and poured a glass of wine and walked in front of the prince, "I will leave the Great Song Kingdom after tomorrow, and we may never see each other again from then on, no matter what, you have helped me a lot after all." Please. Pan Hao drank this cup in one gulp.

Looking at Zhao Yi's reluctance, Pan Hao smiled, "I'm not a Hongchen person after all, so I'm leaving." Pan Hao arched his hand slightly, turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall, and in a few steps, he crossed the hall dozens of meters long, and the whole person turned into a five-colored light and disappeared into the night.

Seeing Pan Hao leaving, Wan Wan didn't seem to feel interesting, "Emperor, find someone to take me to the treasure house to have a look! After all, Hongchen is not a place to stay for long. ”

The emperor was taken aback, and then seemed to think of something, sighed slightly, and said, "Someone! Take Miss Wan Wan to the treasure house, and any treasure will be taken by her." As he spoke, he took out a key.

"Yes. One of the guards stepped forward and took the key, "Miss Wanwan, please come with me." ”

In the blink of an eye, the two protagonists of the grand banquet left one after another, and the emperor coughed slightly, "Prince, I'm also tired, so you will preside over it next!"
