Chapter 24 Shock! Great Emperor, You Are Such a Person (Please Vote for Me)
…
Daqian Imperial City.
It is still the "Humble Administrator's Pavilion".
Today's Emperor Longchang is very old. In addition to regular court meetings, he mostly works in the Humble Administrator's Pavilion on weekdays.
Daqian has seven counties and one capital. It has a vast territory and a vast territory. There are countless things, big and small, that happen every day. In fact, there are very few that really need to be handled by Emperor Longchang personally.
For example, not long ago, the Changning Wang family was promoted from the seventh rank to the sixth rank. According to the rules, the governor of the county, Ankang, was required to compile the information, draw up a memorial for the promotion, and send it to the capital, where His Majesty would personally review it and approve it.
But in fact, the vast majority of ordinary memorials are handled by a large cabinet team in accordance with procedures and are reviewed by three cabinet elders. After confirming that there are no problems, the three cabinet elders jointly sign and stamp the seal. It's ready for execution.
Only a very small number of important matters, or those that are lucky enough to be picked up in random inspections, will be put in front of His Majesty for His Majesty's personal approval.
This is indeed the case. Given the size of Da Qian's country, if the Emperor himself needs to make the final decision on everything big or small, I'm afraid no matter how much time the Emperor has, it won't be enough.
The majestic emperor is afraid that he will be directly overwhelmed by the mountains and seas of memorials.
Nowadays, as Emperor Longchang gets older and his energy becomes less and less, he has less time to deal with court affairs. Most of his time is spent in the Humble Administrator's Pavilion to rest and summon the best of his descendants. Junior.
The great genius is already the top genius in Daqian. If nothing happens, he will definitely be one of the pillars of the empire in the future.
Therefore, even Emperor Longchang paid great attention to the great genius. Even if any great genius has something important to report, they can take the initiative to apply for an interview.
As long as the emperor is not too busy, he will probably take time to meet.
However, it is rare for a great genius to take the initiative to apply for a face-to-face meeting. After all, he is an emperor who has ruled for more than three thousand years and is still extremely majestic in front of the juniors. If he offends his old man, he will be the first to fail.
On the main road in the palace, Lao Yao personally led Wang Liyao to the Humble Administrator's Pavilion.
He bent down and turned sideways from time to time to explain to Wang Liyao some of the rules in the palace and what he needed to pay attention to when meeting the saint.
Looking at the entire Daqian Kingdom, the Great Prodigy is also the top talent, so even though Lao Yao is a close confidant of Emperor Longchang, he is quite friendly and patient with Wang Liyao.
Naturally, Wang Liyao would not look down upon Lao Yao in the slightest just because he was a eunuch.
Just from the surging coercion and the terrifying power he displayed when delivering the decree before, it can be seen that he must also be a big shot, and he may not lose to Master Tianhe in terms of strength.
But Wang Liyao was also vaguely curious as to why a person with magical powers would stay with the emperor as a eunuch. But she would never put this doubt on the surface.
Both were very fast on their feet.
In a short while, they arrived outside the Humble Administrator's Pavilion.
There were two handsome and tall guards standing at the door, but they were only in the realm of heavenly beings, just for show. After all, if anyone dares to assassinate the emperor, two guards in the Heavenly Realm are simply not enough.
According to the rules, Wang Liyao was soon invited into the Humble Administrator's Pavilion.
Behind the huge desk, Emperor Longchang changed his usual sleepy appearance, and his whole person seemed to look much younger.
Different from the kind and friendly look in front of his children and grandchildren, his eyes at this moment are as deep as the sea, and the expression in his eyes is not clear. Even if he is just sitting so casually, he inadvertently exudes the majesty of an emperor.
Seeing Wang Liyao come in, he glanced at Wang Liyao.
"Liyao pays homage to the emperor."
Wang Liyao took a step forward and bowed deeply.
Given her status and cultivation, Rao was still slightly uneasy and nervous when facing the emperor who had controlled the Daqian Kingdom for more than three thousand years.
This world is not like ancient China, where you must bow before the king.
Generally speaking, Xuanwu monks only worship their ancestors. Only on some extremely special occasions, they will kneel down and worship the king. Normally, they can just perform a deep ceremony. What's more, Wang Liyao was born as a great genius in the academy, and her status was transcendent.
After a few breaths of pause.
The majestic voice of Emperor Longchang sounded: "Forgive me. Give me a seat and tea."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Wang Liyao thanked her, she sat on the chair brought by Lao Yao.
According to Lao Yao's previous advice, she did not sit down fully, but only sat half-length up, with her back straight and her expression humble, showing the etiquette that a junior should have when meeting their elders.
While receiving the tea, she glanced at Emperor Longchang's desk with the corner of her eye and found a stack of information on it. When she looked up, she saw the words Changning Wang Family and so on.
It was very obvious that before he came, the emperor was compiling information about the Changning Wang family.
However, all that can be collected from this kind of information is information that the Wang family intentionally displays to the outside world. There are still more secrets hidden within the family.
These secrets are supervised by the family's weapon spirits. Even if a powerful intelligence agency is deployed to target them, it will be difficult to find out too much.
This kind of concealment is by no means a unique tradition of the Wang family. In fact, most of the aristocratic families in this world have some hidden secrets. Who doesn't have some secrets and trump cards? The older the family, the more secrets and trump cards it hides. In fact, this is also part of the family's heritage.
The Wu family of the Daqian royal family must be the family with the most secrets and trump cards.
Emperor Longchang slowly closed the document and encouraged him in a slightly kind voice: "Li Yao has shown amazing talent and potential this time when she entered the capital. Not bad, not bad. When I saw her today, she turned out to be an extremely outstanding talent."
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Wang Liyao replied in a neither arrogant nor humble manner.
"I heard, Li Yao, are you planning to kick the Nine Meridians of the Holy Land?" Emperor Longchang asked with a half-smile, "You really have such great courage. Could it be that you are paving the way for the future Saint Son? That's not right either. Ah, the battle for the Holy Son is still early, why should we be so impatient? Could it be that there are other secrets?"
"I don't dare to deceive Your Majesty." Wang Liyao took a sip of the spiritual tea, her expression was calm and composed, but her words were as loud as thunder, "It is our Changning Wang family who has decided to support Prince An in his bid for the throne of the emperor. Therefore, Li Yao came out first. Take the lead, earn some fame, and build momentum for Prince An."
As soon as this statement came out.
The smile on Emperor Longchang's face gradually solidified, and there was a hint of coldness at the corner of his mouth.
"Bold!" Lao Yao scolded in a low voice from the side, "How can you discuss the matter of fighting for the emperor's son in front of His Majesty?"
While speaking, he secretly winked at Wang Liyao.
"Master Yao, the Wang family of Changning supports the fight for the emperor's son, not the fight for it." Wang Liyao looked at Lao Yao seriously, her eyes as clear as water, "What's more, according to the Daqian country system, the so-called 'battle for the emperor's son' is originally about selection. Two or more quasi-emperors, let them demonstrate their various abilities within a time limit, and then select the best successor to give Daqian the best future."
"This is an honest and fair matter. Why discuss it unreasonably? Why be secretive? What's more, what I said is the truth. Your Majesty asked, if I deliberately concealed it, wouldn't it be a crime of deceiving the Emperor?"
Lao Yao was speechless, but he secretly rolled his eyes.
Having said that, the dispute between the emperor and his son is, after all, related to sensitive topics such as His Majesty's old age and the end of his life.
In recent years, as the emperor's deadline is getting closer, he has become more and more sensitive to these topics. Even the princes and Prince Kang try their best to avoid this matter in front of His Majesty to avoid hurting His Majesty.
This little girl is good, she talks about the "fight between emperor and son", she is really not afraid of tigers.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, old Yao, don't be too troublesome." The coldness on Emperor Longchang's face had dissipated at some point, and it continued to turn into "kindness and kindness", "Li Yao is right, the would-be emperor's son will fight for the emperor's son. The position is based on the ancestral rules of the country, and the purpose is to select a better next generation of emperors. All of this is best done under the sun, rather than using tricks."
"But Li Yao, your Changning Wang family is only a sixth-grade family, although there are still a few young people with great potential in the family. But just because you support Prince An, I'm afraid you are quite powerful, right?"
"Your Majesty, my father is very optimistic about Prince An's character and talents." Wang Liyao cupped her hands and said, "Therefore, I thought of doing my best. As for whether the final thing will happen or not, everything will have to be judged by His Majesty."
Of course, the final outcome of the dispute between emperor and son must be decided by the entire royal family. It's just that as the emperor and head of the family, Emperor Longchang's approval can account for a considerable proportion. Even when the support rates of the quasi-emperors are not much different, he can often influence the situation.
Therefore, Wang Liyao was not wrong when he said that His Majesty was the Holy Judge.
Listening to what she said, Emperor Longchang became slightly interested: "There is a big gap between Prince An and Prince Kang at present. Even with the support of Wang Liyao, a great genius, he can't influence the situation. Is it possible that you, the Wang family, have something special? Can’t you come up with a great trick?”
When he reached the level of Emperor Longchang and was already old and dying, he had no interest in most things. In fact, he didn't even pay much attention to the battle between emperor and son. After all, judging from the current situation, there was almost no suspense.
How could something without suspense arouse the interest of the elderly emperor? It's just a step-by-step process.
"Your Majesty, our Wang family has no special tricks." Wang Liyao shook his head and said, "My father has always adhered to the concept of being down-to-earth and conscientious in doing things. He believes that where there is a will, there is a way. Sooner or later, the world will understand the achievements of Prince An."
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Longchang suddenly lost interest and said boredly: "It sounds like we are in the same group as Wu Mingyuan, no wonder they recognize each other. That's all, as long as within the framework of the ancestral rules and the country's system, you and Wu Mingyuan want to Jump a few times, then just jump."
"However, be careful not to go too far. That kid Chengsi has a temper that follows me, and he is quite vindictive and petty. If you can't argue, be careful to give you little shoes to wear later."
Uh... are you petty? Your Majesty, you are even scolding yourself~
Wang Liyao couldn't help but smile, feeling that His Majesty was getting closer, and immediately said, "Your Majesty is joking, you are famous for being a pioneering emperor and a great emperor. In the more than 3,200 years since you succeeded to the throne, the land area has doubled. Not only that. My father also praised and marveled at His Majesty's achievements."
"Hey, don't believe it." Emperor Longchang chuckled and said, "Go back and ask Duke Dingguo, the main lineage of your Wang family, to see if this is the case. Just because they were in the wrong team back then, they offended me. , I gave them the little shoes that have been worn for more than three thousand years, and forcibly reduced the Wang family from the second grade to the third grade. If it were not for the sake of the Wang family's ancestors, hehe~"
Wang Liyao couldn't laugh or cry.
It is said that this person, as he gets older and younger, he has no scruples in doing things and becomes more and more arbitrary. But Your Majesty, it’s really a bit naughty for you to tell her about putting small shoes on people.
"Li Yao, you must be slandering me in your heart." Emperor Longchang said with a smile, "You, looking at your fairy-like appearance, you were all straightforward and did not mince words when you spoke just now, but in the end you are also a vulgar person. . I have been an emperor for more than three thousand years in my life, and everything has been recorded by historians. Now that I am still alive, of course no one dares to speak out. "
"After I die, a new generation will replace the old. When they praise me, I won't be able to crawl out of the coffin to live for a few more years. They scold me, and I won't be able to crawl out and beat them. You think I'm pretending Is there any point in pretending?”
Wang Liyao was also speechless for a while.
Your Majesty, what you said makes so much sense, I am speechless.
Before coming, she had also thought about what kind of person His Majesty was. However, she thought of many possibilities, but she did not expect that it would be like this...
However, Your Majesty can say this about himself, but Wang Liyao cannot agree with him at will.
After a few words of useless flattery, she took out the gift she had already prepared: "Your Majesty, these are some gadgets designed by my father. I asked me to give them to you to play with."
Then, Wang Liyao took out a bunch of things from the storage ring, including a carefully crafted lure rod, a large monocular telescope with a height of more than two meters, a small monocular telescope, a lighting system driven by an array, and All kinds of miscellaneous things.
Emperor Longchang initially thought that the Wang family was just like other aristocratic families, sending some rare and exotic objects to please him, and he was not very interested. However, he found out that there were a lot of strange things.
After Wang Liyao's explanation, he was most interested in lure rods, large telescopes, and small telescopes.
At the level of the Great Emperor, his eyesight and hearing are already beyond comparison. If he wanted to, he could see clearly from a high altitude and dozens of miles away.
But no matter how powerful his eyesight is, it can't compare to a treasure that has reached the level of a primary astronomical telescope. The distance this thing can see can no longer be described in miles. If used at night, it can even magnify the starry sky countless times.
He was also very interested in the half-meter-long small telescope. He even took it outside the study room and flew up to look around.
After a while, he returned to the Humble Administrator's Pavilion. His expression seemed a little gloomy. He held a monocular and sighed.
"Your Majesty, don't you like this gift? I saw that Your Majesty was having a lot of fun just now." Lao Yao asked cautiously.
Seeing this, even Wang Liyao became slightly nervous.
"That's not the case... Sigh~" Emperor Longchang let out a long sigh and recalled sadly, "More than three thousand and five hundred years ago, when I was a young man, I met the uncle of the Fifth Emperor by chance. The side concubine Fu Fei couldn't help but feel aroused in her heart, and she couldn't sleep all night."
"???"
Wang Liyao looked sideways slightly. It turns out that His Majesty also had a romantic affair when he was young, but unfortunately she was the emperor's uncle's concubine, so she probably had no connection with her.
"After struggling in my heart for several months, I couldn't bear the longing, so I decided to take the emperor's brother with me to peek at Concubine Fu's bath~~" Emperor Longchang looked annoyed, "It was because he was too close that he was discovered. As a result, the emperor and I were My brother and I were beaten half to death together. If there was this... Li Yao at that time, what would it be called?"
"==b..." Wang Liyao shed a drop of cold sweat and replied helplessly, "Monocular."
"Yes, yes, a monocular telescope. If such a strange object had been available at that time, how could my brother and I have ended up in such a miserable end?" Emperor Longchang said angrily.
This Humble Administrator's Pavilion can't wait any longer.
Wang Liyao felt uneasy and felt that the chair under her butt was a little hot.
Isn’t it said that His Majesty’s meeting with the great genius only lasts for a stick of incense? It's been almost an hour now...
Facing such His Majesty, Wang Liyao felt so stressed. After hearing His Majesty's dark history, would she be killed and silenced?
…
In the end, of course Wang Liyao left the Humble Administrator's Pavilion safely, and was also rewarded with a lot of treasures and resources by the emperor as encouragement.
After that, the news of this great genius' test battle swept from the capital to all parts of the country like the wind blowing dandelions.
The reputation of Liyao's great genius also spread throughout the country, and it became very popular in an instant.
Rumor has it that after Li Yao's genius takes a short break for a year, he will set foot in the Holy Land and once again start a war among geniuses under the age of 151 in the Holy Land.
This will definitely be different from the battle in the capital. The Holy Land's genius has always been proud. After hearing this, many retreatants will definitely leave the retreat one after another.
And if you have a year to prepare, your strength may not be able to improve again.
Everyone is looking forward to whether Li Yao, the great genius, can do what she once boasted about, "first kick the Beijing genius, and then sweep the nine veins of the Holy Land", and the attention this time is far more than the one in the capital.
Rumor has it that when Wang Liyao left Shangjing, she secretly had a discussion with Shangguan Yunque of Guilong Shangguan clan.
The results of the competition were not announced to the public, but it was heard that after Shangguan Yunque returned, he entered a state of seclusion and said that whatever he had learned must be confirmed by retreat.
As for the truth, it is unknown.
…
At the same time, there are many disturbances from the outside world.
The rhythm of the Changning Wang family has not been affected in the slightest, and they are still in full swing with their plans for large-scale development outside the territory. It is of course important for Li Yao to build her reputation outside, but the foundation of the family still lies in its own development and growth. After the happiness is over, you still have to do the work that needs to be done.
The elders were all very busy.
Naturally, the children who lacked control during the rest days began to become more and more unscrupulous in the main house.
Wang Yingxuan!
She is Wang Shouzhe's beloved granddaughter. She is also the one who will be sent to the Holy Land to practice in a few years because of her outstanding talents since childhood.
At the same time, she is also the one with the biggest cards and the most dominating among a group of childish kids.
Riding on her crotch was a majestic big white and white tiger.
The gray tiger looked really majestic, with the word "王" on its head. It looked at Zixiong as he walked. Under the aura of the fourth-level spiritual beast, all kinds of snakes, insects, rats, and ants retreated.
Its only shortcoming is that it is a little fat from eating, and its whole body is round and round, especially its fat belly, which is about to rub intimately with the earth.
"Huahua~" Wang Yingxuan patted the big tiger on the head and said with a smile, "Today's battle is the most important battle since the establishment of our [Invincible Beautiful Girls Mutual Aid Alliance]. As long as we can kill the enemy to pieces, No. I will save ten kilograms from the ration, no, twenty kilograms of fifth-level ferocious beast meat for you."
"Ooooooo~"
Brain Ax Flower's eyes shone brightly and he let out a ferocious roar. That is the meat of a fifth-level ferocious beast. Just thinking about it makes me greedy.
That's right, this tiger is the one Wang Lizi picked up back then. Later, she went to the Academy to go to school, so she left Huahua on the farm.
In the beginning, Wang Xiaozhi, the fourth old lady, helped to raise her. Later, the fourth old man passed away. As Huahua grew stronger, he ate more and more, and the farm gradually couldn't support it. Wang Shouzhe took it to the main house, picked a house next to Wang Lizi's house, and raised it as a clan spirit animal. With.
Since she was raised by humans since she was a child, Huahua has a very affectionate temperament and has a particularly good relationship with children. So much of the time, it hangs out with the children.
"Besides, during this time of land reclamation outside the territory, I asked dad to bring you a third-level tigress to spread its branches and reproduce for you." Wang Yingxuan spoke with majestic momentum, just like before killing an enemy on the battlefield. , like inspiring the morale of thousands of troops, quite like a Valkyrie.
tigress?
Huahua was even more excited and her mouth was almost watering. I'm finally going to have a wife and children. It's not easy. Hey, something seems wrong?
Miss Li Ci seemed to have said before that she would find a wife for him... Later, Master Zong An also said it... Master Shi Zhao also said it... Plus Miss Yingxuan... Well, no, no, it's too much. Too much~~~I am a tiger who only has moral integrity, so I can’t have so many wives~~~I’d better wait for Miss Li Ci to come back.
"Ooooooo~"
With the cooperation of Wang Yingxuan and Huahua, as well as a group of howling "beautiful girls", in just a few rounds of charge, they killed a group of boys "Living Youth and Sunshine Youth Group" without leaving any trace behind. .
Wang Yingxuan rode Huahua and strolled in the main house, like a general returning from victory, he was really majestic.
She looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and sighed: "The greatest loneliness in life is to be invincible. Now that Aunt Li Yao has just swept the imperial capital's geniuses, and is preparing to set foot on the nine veins of the Holy Land, she is so majestic."
"As the saying goes, Li Yao's entry into the world shocked the world, who can compete with her if she doesn't have Ying Xuan?"
"Young geniuses who go to the capital, just wait...sooner or later, I, Wang Yingxuan, will break through the imperial capital and make the geniuses all over the world tremble when they hear my name."
"Wang Yingxuan, you little bastard, get off the tiger!"
At this moment, Wang Yingxuan's mother, Fang, suddenly descended from the roof next to her, and with a straight face, she came towards her menacingly with a cane.
"Mr. Ethnology just came to visit your home. He said that you failed in five of the seven main courses. Your grandfather has already called your father and is ready to beat him up! Why don't you hurry up and go to your grandfather's place to save your father~~"
What? ! !
Wang Yingxuan's body went limp and she rolled directly off the tiger's back, screaming in her heart. It's over, it's over, I forgot about the half-way interception of Mr. Xu Xue.
Everyone was so alarmed that they went to Grandpa!
Is it possible that my majestic Valkyrie will die before leaving the army?
…
