Chapter 649 Audience (3)
Chapter 649
Song Wanglin had already reminded himself to be careful before he set off, because Qi Wang would definitely find a way to deal with him, and it was in the cumbersome etiquette that he was not familiar with. This way, Wang Chong has been very careful.
Moreover, he has basically done everything the old official said, and it is completely impeccable. Even the most demanding officials of the Ministry of Rituals cannot find the slightest problem from him. But Wang Chong was very sure that something went wrong.
And it must be a very important problem that I didn't notice.
However, such important things as the award of the Holy Emperor, the audience in the palace, and the attendance of the officials, it is reasonable that King Qi would definitely not have the courage to blatantly mess around in such a place, but where did he do it.
"Buzz!"
His gaze unconsciously swept across the last few white jade steps in front of him. Suddenly, Wang Chong's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered something. The old official once mentioned a number, nine is the yang line, and everything is forbidden to be full, so nine represents the extreme, there are nine five supreme, five-clawed golden dragons, all of them represent the emperor.
Among all the etiquette and etiquette, the characters "nine" and "five" are especially taboo, and you must be extremely careful, because these are the biggest offenders.
Wang Chong's eyes were like lightning, and he quickly swept across the few white jade steps ahead. One, two, three, four, five... When counting to nine, Wang Chong's face suddenly changed, and he suddenly understood something.
"These bastards!"
Li Yi glanced at several officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple in front of him, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes.
The White Jade Pill in front of the Tai Chi Palace is called the True Dragon Road, and before the Holy Emperor appears and is recruited, one must never set foot on the top. Especially "common people" like him who have no fame, let alone an official position, are different from officials with official positions, and need to pay more attention, otherwise, it would be disrespectful.
The number of real dragons is nine, so the last nine steps of Baiyu Danchi must not be touched.
These officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple deliberately stood back a few steps when announcing the decree. If they didn't pay attention, they would just kneel on the last nine white jade steps, and they would have committed the crime of offending Long Yan .
Of all the courtesies of audience, this is the greatest disrespect!
"King Qi!"
A thought flashed through Wang Chong's mind,
I understood something instantly. Wang Chong didn't know what the consequences of these officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple would be if they did this, but this disrespect alone was probably enough for King Qi to deal with him!
If it was the past, Wang Chong wouldn't mind the Holy Emperor awarding him anything, even if King Qi succeeded, he wouldn't be afraid of anything with the power of the royal family's generals. But from time to time, Wang Chong now needs to have enough status to realize his ambitions and dreams, and save the common people and the common people in this world!
"Buzz!"
These thoughts flew from his mind, and Wang Chong quickly got his attention. Hum, just as he knelt down, Wang Chong's large dress shook, and he took a step back calmly. With a bang, his knee landed on the Ten steps up.
"Wang Chong accepts the order!"
Wang Chong cupped his hands, and his handsome voice echoed throughout the palace.
Swish, the eyelids of several officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple suddenly twitched, and their faces changed instantly. The slightest difference, the error of thousands of miles, Wang Chong just stepped back slightly, and the plan of several people to calculate Wang Chong failed immediately.
Moreover, what disturbed the few people the most was that they couldn't judge clearly whether Wang Chong had discovered something, avoided it on purpose, or did it unintentionally.
"Damn thing! Isn't everything already arranged? How could such a mistake happen!"
On the viewing platform at the rear, King Qi Li Chengqi, who was dressed in a gold-threaded scarlet python robe, looked astonished at first. He looked at Wang Chong on the steps, as if he had been slapped in the face, and then his face turned livid and his expression became ferocious.
The smug look on the corner of his mouth, the expression of ready to see Wang Chong's game, suddenly disappeared.
If eyes could kill, then several officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple in front of Bai Yudan would have already been shot through their hearts with thousands of arrows, their heads fell to the ground, and died countless times.
"How many adults?"
Hearing that there was no movement above his head for a while, Wang Chong raised his head and looked at the top of his head.
Several people were stunned for a while, and soon came back to their senses.
"Following the heavens, the emperor summoned and said:
Wang Chong, the youngest son of the Wang family, spent all his family wealth and prepared his own weapons and crossbows. He defeated Daqin Ruozan, Ge Luofeng, and Huoshu Guizang in the southwest... and defeated the Mongolian-Ukrainian coalition army in the southwest. Millions of people in the southwest have made great contributions, and they are specially called into the palace to reward them, as a token of their sacred heart. "
Holding the imperial decree in their hands, the officials of the Ministry of Rites turned a little pale, but they were still extremely restrained, without showing any signs of it.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Wang Chong still respectfully saluted the old officials, then straightened his back and looked at the three people in front of him.
"My lord, there are three imperial edicts, this is the first one, please keep it well!"
"Thank you!"
Wang Chong smiled indifferently, glanced at several people, then took the imperial edict from the head of the Ministry of Rites and stood up.
However, it was this indifferent smile that fell into the eyes of several officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, but they only felt terrified, as if the seventeen-year-old boy in front of him had completely seen through their secrets.
This is a very strange feeling. A few people who are obviously much older than Wang Chong are so guilty when they are smiled faintly by Wang Chong.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty hasn't shown up yet, you should wait here and wait for the summons!"
Several people ordered this sentence, and then left in a hurry, not daring to stay for a moment.
As soon as several officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials left, the atmosphere in front of Tai Chi was not only not deserted, but became more and more enthusiastic, and many people had looks of anticipation in their eyes.
It was Wang Chong's first time receiving the Holy Emperor's award, so he didn't know much about the whole procedure. But the veterans on the viewing platform knew it.
Wang Chong made great contributions in the southwest, so the reward must be very generous. According to the process, there will be a total of three imperial decrees before and after.
The first imperial decree is to announce the will of the Holy Emperor, that is, to summon the will of the Holy Emperor to the world.
But the second Holy Emperor is the real content of the award.
However, until now, no one knew what kind of reward the Holy Emperor would give Wang Chong.
"The Great Victory in the Southwest is no small matter. The Mongolian-Ukrainian Allied Forces died in battle with more than 400,000 people, more than the Tang Dynasty. Everyone in the world is watching such a great achievement, and they don't know what kind of reward they will give?"
"Gold and silver treasures are definitely indispensable. The Wang family has spent millions of taels of gold this time in order to fund the Southwest. His Majesty will definitely give him a lot of compensation. I just don't know what other rewards will be given?"
"It's been a long time since Datang was conferred a knighthood, and the Ministry of Rituals is very stuck, but this time, His Majesty will definitely make an exception. I just don't know if it is a baron, a viscount, or... an earl? However, there are many first-rank ministers in the court. It's just an earl? Wang Chong is so young, is he worthy?"
"Some people in the government and the opposition said they were named military generals, but Wang Chong had never been in the army. Although the Kunwu training camp belongs to the military, it has no military establishment at all, and it is not in the military register. All of a sudden, a mention When it comes to military commanders, there are too many promotions, and I don’t know how Your Majesty can get around it?”
...
In private, everyone was discussing in their hearts.
And the one who is most enthusiastic about this is Wang Chong's uncle Wang Gen.
"Chong'er, you will soar into the sky from now on!"
Wang Gen stroked the black beard under his chin, looked at the top of the white jade steps, the back of Wang Chong who was high above him, his heart was full of excitement. Regarding His Majesty's reward to Wang Chong, he was no less curious than others.
But even though he didn't know what it was, there was one thing Wang Gen could be sure of. With Southwest's great achievements, the reward this time was definitely not low.
Time passed slowly, and Wang Chong was holding the imperial edict in his hand. Standing on the white jade steps, motionless, waiting silently.
It seemed that only a moment had passed, and it seemed that countless long centuries had passed. Wang Chong didn't see anything in his eyes, but he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps in his ears.
The footsteps were not rushed, each step was quite calm, and following the footsteps, in a trance, Wang Chong seemed to see a huge golden wave, which seemed to have a mighty force, smashing the sky and covering the earth, whistling away. Come.
Booming, amidst the huge golden waves, the entire Taiji Palace and even the entire white jade steps seemed to be trembling.
"What a strong skill!"
Wang Chong blinked his eyes and suddenly came back to his senses.
Taiji Palace is the center of the entire imperial palace, even the Great Tang, so it is impossible to shake it, and with the Holy Emperor, the most powerful man in the world, sitting in its command, it is even more impossible for anyone to shake it.
Needless to say, there are so many civil and military ministers on the white jade steps.
There is no doubt that all this is just my own illusion.
But with his current cultivation base, he can still shake him like this, one can imagine how deep the other party's cultivation base is.
Wang Chong raised his head, and at this moment, he saw a figure with a slightly fat body, dressed in a brocade eunuch uniform with cloud patterns, walking calmly, without rushing.
"My lord, we meet again."
The cloud-patterned eunuch held a scroll of imperial decree in his hand, and faced Wang Chong with a smile like a spring breeze, just like a Maitreya Buddha who always smiled, making people feel close to him naturally.
"Eunuch Gao!"
Wang Chong's eyelids twitched, and he immediately recognized that the person in front of him was the eunuch who came to see him in person when he was locked in the prison during the "Jiedushi Incident".
Besides that, Wang Chong also knew that he had a name that was astonishing in the past and the present:
Ouchi chief eunuch, Gao Lishi Gao Gonggong!
Unlike Li Jingzhong, the future No. 1 villain next to the fifth prince Li Heng, Gao Lishi has another name that is astonishing in the past:
The number one virtuous eunuch through the ages!
In the land of the Central Plains, throughout the dynasties, there is only one person who can get this title.
Gao Lishi's surname is not Gao, but Sheng Feng's real name is Feng Yuanyi, not many people know this name now. The former emperor bestowed the surname on Feng and changed Feng to Gao, so Gao Lishi came into being later.
Gao Lishi grew up with the Holy Emperor all his life, he was loyal to the Holy Emperor, and would never leave him for the rest of his life.
In his previous life, the Holy Emperor passed away. When Wang Chong heard the news, Eunuch Gao, who was beside the Holy Emperor, was shocked by the bad news. He was so sad that he vomited blood and died. Looking at the ages, there is only one person in all dynasties.
When Wang Chong heard the news, he was also in awe of this kind-faced and chubby Eunuch Gao who looked like the reincarnation of Maitreya Buddha.
