"Yes. I saw with my own eyes that the master slashed the life star of the glow confusion with one sword!"

Su Changan's voice echoed in the quiet Taihe Palace.

The Holy Emperor didn't speak, his fingers lightly tapped on the desk in front of him, and he looked at Su Changan with a playful smile in his eyes.

The sweat stains on Su Changan's forehead deepened, and he subconsciously wanted to avoid the Holy Emperor's gaze, but he quickly realized that this was wrong, so he met the Holy Emperor's gaze.

The atmosphere in the Taihe Hall was so gloomy that it seemed to be dripping water.

"Good!" After a long time, the Holy Emperor let out a loud snort, and the wine glass in his hand was raised again.

"Don't listen to the rain!" he said, and drank the contents of the cup.

"Don't listen to the rain!" the hundred officials responded.

"Yes. Mo Tingyu has accepted a good apprentice for Tianlan Academy!" The Holy Emperor seemed to have something to say, he glanced at Su Changan again, and turned his head to look at Du Hongchang, who had been hooking his head on the side.

"You are the son of Wei Lingshen General Du Wei?" the Holy Emperor asked.

It seemed that he had a natural fear of the Holy Emperor, Du Hongchang's body was obviously shaking at that moment, he raised his head, and his eyes seemed to be a little red and a little swollen because he had cried.

"It's Wechen. He said. The voice was low, and it was evident that it did not come out of the grief of his father's death.

"Du Wei" The Holy Emperor's voice also deepened, "I have been following the widow for more than thirty years. I saw that he had been fighting in the Western Regions for many years, and he had worked hard, and I wanted to recall him to Kyoto so that he could live a peaceful life for a while, but who knew that he met a villain in Lanling Town and lost his life. This is really the fault of a few people. Saying that, the Holy Emperor stretched out his long sleeves to hide his face, looking sad and weeping.

"Your Majesty's mourning, it is my father's wish to die for the Great Wei War, and now I think about it, he also deserved to die. Du Hongchang hurriedly bowed, his tone was sincere, and it didn't seem to be half fake, but his lowered eyes flashed this fierce light.

If a month ago he was still the same gentleman who relied on his family background and innate talent to have a low hand and a low hand. Then the current Du Hongchang has completely restrained his temperament.

He began to stop writing his inner thoughts on his face, began to learn to say different things to different people, and began to lower his spine that he thought was straight. Because some things happened during the period of Du Wei's death made him understand that he had lost the aura of the son of the god general, and if he wanted to survive in this jackal-filled Chang'an City, he had to work hard to make himself strong, strong enough to be a part of these jackals. Until then, you will be as docile as a sheep, and harmless to humans and animals. He understood this truth, but Su Changan didn't understand it yet.

The Holy Emperor was satisfied with the performance of the child in front of him, although he had not done well enough, although there was still a glint in his eyes that should not exist. But at least he already has the qualifications to survive in this Chang'an City.

"One of you is a disciple who listens to the rain, and the other is the son of a god general, and they can be regarded as loyal and virtuous. And they are all young talents, their cultivation is good, and they have contributed to the affairs of Lanling Town, and I am very relieved. ”

"The two of them stepped forward to listen to the seal!" said the Holy Emperor.

"Du Hongchang, from now on, I will entitle you as Lingliebo, hereditary for three generations, 300 acres of land, and 1,000 taels of gold!"

"Su Chang'an, from now on, I will entitle you as the Blood Knife Uncle, hereditary for three generations, 300 acres of land, and 1,000 taels of gold!"

As soon as these words came out, Su Changan was surprised but didn't realize that he had him, he had always been interested in some titles, and in his opinion, this kind of false name was useless except for being able to take it out and press him when he was arguing with Ji Dao.

But Du Hongchang is different, his father is a god general, but he is not. His father died, and it was said that he was a martyr. But to put it mildly, his identity is no different from that of a commoner. And a powerless commoner, but there are some grudges that his father formed when he was an official, so what will his life be like in the future, just think about it. And the earl, although it is not a high-ranking title, but at least the Holy Emperor has given an attitude from this, an attitude that he wants to protect him.

And this attitude, although it can't completely change his current situation, is an important bargaining chip for him to survive in this Chang'an City. A hint of joy appeared on Du Hongchang's face, but he quickly suppressed it again. He and Su Changan kowtowed again almost at the same time, and said, "Xie Wu Huang Longen." ”

"Hmm. Step aside. In the future, I will cultivate and become my Great Wei Dongliang as soon as possible!" the Holy Emperor nodded and said.

The two nodded yes, and then retreated to their own actions.

At this time, a eunuch outside the hall hurriedly walked in with his head down, he knelt down dozens of zhang away from the Holy Emperor, and said, "Tell Your Majesty, General Tongxuan of Xiliang and Bei asks to see you!"

The hall suddenly became a little noisy, and some people began to talk to each other.

North Tongxuan.

An hour ago, many people present did not take him seriously, although he had many military exploits in Xiliang, but after all, he was humble and light. But the conflict in front of the palace just now made these civil and military officials realize that this man may become a figure occupied by Xiliang in the near future.

Ruyan's body also shook the moment she heard the name, she raised her head, and looked out of the hall with some expectation and some trepidation.

She knew that it was time to open the game, which had gambled all her cards.

A smile also appeared on the Holy Emperor's face at this time, and he said, "Welcome him in!"

"Yes. The eunuch who was kneeling on the ground answered, and then he stood up and shouted outside the hall: "Xuanxi Liangbei Tong Xuanji!"

Click!

The sound of riding boots crashing against the ground sounded. And all the people turned their heads and followed the prestige.

I saw a slender middle-aged man, dressed in black armor, strolling over.

His green hair was meticulously coiled high and strung with a hosta. He was very handsome, but there was a femininity between his eyebrows, and his lips were as red as drinking blood. And where he passed, a faint bloody aura spread out.

He walked to the Holy Emperor's platform without squinting, he half-knelt down, lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "The last general Beitong Xuanhe Shou is here, and please ask Your Majesty to surrender!"

"Haha!" There was no anger on the Holy Emperor's face, he smiled loudly and said: "Aiqing has leveled a bandit for me on the way back. ”

"Yes. Bei Tongxuan said. He rose from the ground and stood there like a sculpture, motionless.

"Aiqing, I received a note two days ago, saying that you attacked the rear of the barbarian general Hu Yanzuo with five hundred iron cavalry more than ten days ago, and solved the danger of Laiyun City, but is there such a thing?" the Holy Emperor poured a bottle of wine, looked at Bei Tongxuan and asked.

"It is true. Beitong Xuan replied in a deep voice, his waist was still listening to his nose when he said this, his eyes were looking ahead, and he didn't seem to have the slightest pride because of this matter.

"Okay!" But the Holy Emperor seemed very happy, he slapped the desk in front of him suddenly, and said: "A hero is a young man! Bei Aiqing seems to be only about thirty years old, but he has extraordinary courage, and he should be rewarded." ”

There are not many people who can make the Holy Emperor so praised over the years, or almost none. It stands to reason that it should be a very happy thing, but the look on Bei Tongxuan's face did not change in the slightest because of this, he just nodded extremely plainly, and said: "Your Majesty praises falsely, the last general really dare not bear it." ”

"Aiqing doesn't have to be humble. Do you want to let the widow think about what he should reward you?" said this, and the Holy Emperor sat back on the dragon chair behind him, clutching his beard as if he was distressed.

"Your Majesty. At this time, Sima Xu stood up again. He bowed his head and said, "You forgot that Wei Lingshen will sacrifice his life for the country, and the position of the twenty-four gods of Great Wei will be vacated. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

What a high glory the Great Wei God will be, which one is not the glory of decades of bloody battlefields. And the Beitongxuan in front of him, although he is famous, is thousands of miles behind those veterans who have been galloping on the battlefield for many years.

As soon as Du Wei died, I don't know how many people were staring at this position, how could it give Bei Tongxuan, a descendant who came out of nowhere, a head start. But this proposal was proposed by Sima Xu, and although everyone present was not angry, they hesitated and did not dare to speak.

"Huh?" The Holy Emperor raised his eyebrows, and he sat up, staring at the old man in front of him with a pair of tiger eyes shining with terrifying brilliance. But the old man still didn't realize it, and stood there respectfully with his head bowed and his hands.

"What do you think?"

The Holy Emperor's voice sounded like thunder, and the Taihe Palace, which had become noisy because of Sima Xu's proposal, was once again quiet like a ghost.

The civil and military officials in the audience all bowed their heads, they naturally disagreed with such a thing, but Sima Xu's meaning was not something they dared to disobey. So they all chose to be silent at this moment.

This eerie silence lasted less than twenty breaths.

A voice broke the silence.

It was a young man dressed in white.

His eyes were still a little puffy, and he had a black strip of cloth wrapped around the sleeve of his arm.

Such strips of cloth. In Dawei, it will only be brought when an elder in the family dies.

The young man came out of the crowd, walked to the Holy Emperor's platform, and bowed his head. said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a word, which is not worth talking about. ”

The Holy Emperor's eyes narrowed suddenly, and the corners of his mouth hooked into a smile.

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. He said.

And the old man with his head down, his half-squinted eyes also flashed at this moment.

"General Bei has repeatedly performed miraculous feats in Xiliang and is known as prestigious. Although he was a Confucian general, he had great courage; although he was still young, his father often told me when he was a soldier that General Bei was like a god, and he was ashamed of himself. ”

"I think that although my Great Wei is now peaceful and prosperous, there are demon clans in the north and barbarian kingdoms in the west. The wolves looked around, and there was no room for slackness in border defense. The father is dead, but the throne of God cannot be vacant. Now, looking at the government and the opposition, only General North is up to this heavy task!"
