Chapter Ninety-Seven: The True Man Who Protects the Country

It's been more than a month since we last met outside the Gate of the Heart Nourishing Palace. Empress Lin still has a deep memory of this young disciple of the Taixuan Qingxu Palace. I am used to seeing gentle and pretentious talents, and I also see many martial artists who are arrogant and arrogant, but under Feng Wei, they all dare not speak.

Like the young man in front of him, he looks so calm, neither humble nor arrogant, but it is rare! Think about it, if this young man is ordinary, how can he stand out among thousands of heroes, find the mountains and rivers to return to the eastern land, and make a contribution to saving the fortune of the Great Qin River?

"Seeing the queen's phoenix face again, this is the luck of the grass people!" Listening to the queen's words, Du Chongxiao didn't dare to slack off, and replied with a slight bow.

Queen Lin smiled slightly when she heard this, and the young man's answer was very decent, not too sycophant, but also pleasant to listen to. At the moment, he said, "Mr. Du is waiting for the Holy Lord's summons?"

"Exactly!" Du Chongxiao nodded.

Empress Lin then turned to Chief Wei who was kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Why hasn't the Holy Lord summoned Mr. Du to see him for a long time!?"

"Qi Yu Niangniang, the Holy Lord is talking to the Taixuan Qingxu Palace Sect Sect Ziji Zhenren. Wei Qianzhong replied respectfully. The queen did not order him to get up, and he could only answer on his knees.

"I see!" Queen Lin nodded slowly, her phoenix eyes glanced at her, and a palace maid stood out with a jade plate in her hand. "This palace knows that the saint dragon is not in good health, and he can hardly sleep at night, so he personally boiled the white fungus snow lotus soup for the saint, and bothered the head of Wei to present it to the saint!"

In the past, the queen went to the Heart Cultivation Hall to face the saint, and she never had to report it, but it was because of Wei Duzhong's obstruction last time. I feel like I have a mustache, so I come every time. They all handed over the food and drink to Wei Quanzhong, but they didn't mention the matter of entering the temple again!

"Whew!" Wei Quanzhong took the jade plate with both hands and replied.

"Tomorrow, if Mr. Du has spare time, please move to Kunning Palace. The palace will send someone to invite Mr!" Queen Lin smiled cordially at Du Chongxiao, turned around and led the palace maids to leave. From beginning to end, Wei Quanzhong was not allowed to get up.

After the queen left, Wei Qianzhong, the chief of the inner house, stood up with a jade plate in his hand. Xiang Du Chongxiao, who was puzzled, asked: "Mr. Du, do you know that 'strange goods can live'? Do you know that 'hot'?"

Du Chongxiao pondered for a moment. Xiang Wei Qianzhong bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for the reminder!" was still a little confused, but after being reminded by Wei Quan, he vaguely guessed that the queen had summoned him to show goodwill!

Wei Qianzhong's eyes showed admiration, this young man's mind was smart, and he could see through it at one point, and the saint really knew people. And His Royal Highness the King of Han has it as a teacher, and he will definitely benefit a lot in the future!

The morning of the second day. Emperor Qin was on top of the Golden Palace, and the matter of the mountains and rivers falling in Qingzhou was edicted to the civil and military officials. The ministers bowed their heads together, saying, 'The holy blessings are all in the sky, and the world is in the heart.' The mountains and rivers Baoding chose the land of the east soil and fell, which is an auspicious omen from the sky, and the people are very fortunate. Great Qin is very lucky!"

The civil and military ministers seemed to be full of joy, but they had their own thoughts. Especially for the officials of the prince's party, those who are very deep in the city government have the same complexion as usual, and those who are slightly worse can see the strong smile on their faces. And the worse one is to write the melancholy completely on his face.

The crown prince was the eldest son. And he is talented and intelligent, and his atmosphere is precocious, even if there are other princes eyeing him, he has the innate advantage of 'being orderly and justifiable', and the officials of the prince's party have never felt too much pressure.

However, when the news of the mountains and rivers falling in the Han Palace, Qingzhou, the prince's party suddenly became extremely frightened. The words 'destiny of heaven' are like a big mountain, weighing heavily on their heads.

After kowtowing, Prime Minister Lu Zhong came out and said: "Qi Yu Sheng, Wei Chen thinks that the mountains and rivers are auspicious signs from heaven, and they must immediately welcome back the martial arts, sacrifice the gift of national worship, and pray for Bao Ding to bless me with the great Qin rivers and mountains for thousands of generations!"

When Emperor Qin heard this, he said in a calm voice: "What do you think?"

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Jiuqing's Taichang Ge Ying, Shaofu Feng Zijing and other officials all came out to agree.

However, Zhou Yue, the chief lieutenant, held an opposing opinion and said: "The mountains and rivers are the treasures of the psychic, symbolizing the luck of the world, and it is ominous to move it!

Then, there was Ye Yuanming, the lieutenant of Jiuqing, and Wei Chang Yan came out to seconded the words of Taiwei Zhou Yue.

"Mountains and rivers are the most important weapons of the country, how can they be placed outside the capital?" asked Taichang Ge Ying.

"Obey the will of heaven and sacrifice on the spot, why not?" Lang Zhongling Ye Yuanming asked rhetorically.

"The mountains and rivers protect my Great Qin world, not a corner of Qingzhou, and we must welcome back martial arts!" Shaofu Feng Zijing said resolutely.

"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land. What is the difference between Shanhe Ding in Qingzhou and martial arts?" Wei Wei Chang Yan immediately retorted.

All of a sudden, the ministers said a word to me,-for-tat, and each held his own opinion.

Doctor Yu Shi watched coldly, and most of the people who supported the return of Shanhe Ding to martial arts were the prince's party. In order to weaken the influence of the 'return of the Mandate of Heaven' as much as possible, only by welcoming the mountains and rivers back in the Temple of Heavenly Grace and showing the world and demonstrating orthodoxy can the crown prince's position be retained! Therefore, it is not surprising that the officials of the prince's party have behaved in this way.

The officials who are in favor of building temples on the spot to worship know that Taiwei Zhou Yue, Weiwei Changyan and others are all close to the second prince Qin Yonggo, and now this performance should be a wishful thinking of shaking the foundation of the prince and fishing in troubled waters, so as to take the opportunity to ascend to the throne.

It's just that if you do this, aren't you afraid to make wedding clothes for others?

The monarchs and ministers argued endlessly, and finally Prime Minister Lu Zhong and Taiwei Zhou Yue led a hundred officials to bow to Emperor Qin and said: "The matter is very important, I implore the Holy Lord to ruling!"

Emperor Qin frowned and thought for a moment, Fang Kai Jinkou said: "The mountains and rivers are auspicious from the sky, and they are related to the luck of the world, so it is better to welcome back the martial arts and place them in the Heavenly Grace Palace!"

As soon as Chrysostom opened, Prime Minister Lu Zhong and others couldn't help but be happy, and shouted in unison, 'Holy Wisdom'. Although Taiwei Zhou Yue and the others were unwilling, they could only bow their heads and praise them.

I heard Emperor Qin say: "Since this is the case, then the prince will choose an auspicious day and a good day to go to Qingzhou." In addition, since the fourteenth son Qin Zheng already has a fief, it is not in line with the etiquette to leave martial arts, so he went to Qingzhou with the prince!"

Hearing the oracle, the ministers couldn't help but have strange thoughts. What is the intention of the Holy Lord to order the Fourteen Princes to walk with the Crown Prince?

"There is one more thing! The mountains and rivers Baoding returned to the eastern soil, and the real people of the Taixuan Qingxu Palace have made great contributions, and I want to reward them, I don't know if the ministers have any suggestions?" Emperor Qin asked again.

"The matter of reward is all up to the saint!" Whether it is the prime minister or the prince, they are all careless about Emperor Qin's reward. Taixuan Qingxu Palace is the first door in the world, all the real people are immortals, and they regard fame and fortune as floating clouds, and what they can appreciate is nothing more than the treasures in the palace!

Emperor Qin nodded and glanced at the attendant beside him. The inner attendant understood, and immediately opened his voice and said: "Xuantai Xuanqing Void Palace disciple Du Chongxiao Jin Jin!"

Not long after, a black-clothed young man walked into the golden hall, bowed to Emperor Qin, who was high on the throne, and said, "The grass people meet the saint!"

The civil and military officials all cast surprised eyes, and they had already heard of Du Chongxiao's name. In the battle of Yushi Pass last year, he used his own strength to block more than 10,000 demon soldiers, and finally insisted on the arrival of reinforcements, so that Yushi Pass was spared the disaster of breaking the city! Now there is news in Qingzhou that the reason why Shanhe Ding returned to the east safely is almost entirely due to the work of this young man!

But see that its eyebrows are as thick as ink, its eyes are bright as the sun and the moon, its divine pearls are introverted, and its shape is quite like a pine. He once showed courage with the border pass, and hunted for treasures. Now standing in the middle of the Jinluan Palace, who dares to say that he is not a hero?

The inner attendant held the holy decree in his hand and announced the edict loudly: "Today, there is Du Chongxiao, a disciple of the Taixuan Qing Void Palace, the hero is young, and he is shocked by the world, and he has the common people and is virtuous and benevolent." The border pass is to prevent 100,000 demon soldiers in front, and the hard treasure hunt is trying to save the world's luck in the back, and now Du Chongxiao is the soul of the country to protect the spirit to Wu Huaide Zhenren, and he is given a purple robe and jade belt, and a dragon gold medal. Chin!"

Hearing the holy decree, the civil and military officials could not hide their shock. Except for Emperor Gaozu, and for more than 500 years, there was no real person who protected the country in Great Qin. It is only because of the rise of the world's academies that Great Qin respects Confucianism from top to bottom, and Buddhism and Taoism are gradually declining, and the influence is not as good as before.

Now that the emperor has issued a holy decree to canonize the disciples of the Taixuan Qingxu Palace as real people who protect the country, what is his intention? Is it just as the holy decree says, in order to show his immortal merits? No one will ignore Du Chongxiao's other identity -- the teacher of His Royal Highness the King of Han!

Du Chongxiao stood on top of the hall, his brows furrowed slightly. Although he had been reminded by the Purple Pole Sect, he was still shocked by the content of this holy decree.

In the past thousand years of the Taixuan Qingxu Palace, only the Taishi Bozu Xuanwei Zhenren has been named the real person who protects the country. According to his thoughts, those who are named the real protectors of the country should be highly respected. He is now only a second-generation disciple in the palace, and his cultivation is not enough to understand the cultivation realm, how can he be worthy of the praise of 'virtue and benevolence, and the heart of the common people'?

"Du Zhenren, it's time to thank you!" the chamberlain reminded in a loud voice.

Du Chongxiao remembered the words of Ziji's master last night, 'With your immortal achievements, it is not too much to receive any kind of reward, just accept it calmly, there is no need to worry about it!'

"Du Zhenren, it's time to thank you!" the chamberlain reminded again.

Du Chongxiao remembered that he stayed in the Han Wang's Mansion last night, Qin Zheng cried with joy when he saw him return, knelt down on the ground and said: "Since the master left the capital, the disciple has lived like a year, and now he has been crowned the king of Han, but it is not as good as before, the people around him are either flatterers or ill-intentioned disciples, except for the master, no one really ...... me!"

"Du Zhenren, it's time to thank you!" the chamberlain reminded for the third time.

The smile on Emperor Qin's face gradually faded, and he could already see that Du Chongxiao had the intention of refusing to give the reward.

The civil and military officials were surprised, and the chamberlain reminded him three times and this son was indifferent, didn't he want to refuse the reward?

"Grass people thank the saint on Longen!" The clear voice echoed on the Jinluan Palace, Du Chongxiao gently shook his head, and his expression was frank, like the light of the sun and the moon!
