Chapter 52 Meeting the Emperor
"Long live the emperor!"
In the spacious and solemn Astronomy Hall, more than fifty civil and military officials were lined up in four rows and kneeling on the ground.
Ji Tong waved his hand excitedly and said with great enthusiasm: "All my beloveds are calm!"
"Long live thanks!"
The ministers stood up and then looked up at the emperor sitting on the dragon throne.
"Your Majesty, you..." Mu Baokun screamed in shock at the first time.
Except for Fu Wanqing and the prince, everyone else was stunned.
The emperor has clearly reached the end of his life, but now he is safely on the dragon throne, and his appearance has become what he looked like more than ten years ago.
None of these ministers have been climbing up slowly from small officials. At least they have been an official for more than ten years before they can get qualified to enter the Astronomical Hall to participate in politics. They naturally will not admit their mistakes about Ji Tong's voice and appearance.
Mu Baokun thought to himself that the second prince did not lie to him, and immediately knelt down excitedly and said, "Congratulations to the emperor! Congratulations to the emperor! The emperor has achieved civility and martial ethics, benevolence and righteousness, and is blessed by the gods. He revived the Western Zhou Dynasty and benefited the people for thousands of years. He will enjoy the blessings of heaven forever, and will live long!"
The ministers knelt down again, and all of them were excited to wipe their tears, singing in unison: "The emperor has achieved martial ethics, benevolence, righteousness and wisdom, and Gods bless them. They revived the Western Zhou Dynasty and benefited the people for thousands of years. The blessings of heaven will be enjoyed forever, and long live long!"
At this time, Mu Xiaotian, who was squatting under the steps outside the hall, was so idle that he was counting ants. He couldn't help laughing as he heard the sound coming from the Astronomy Hall.
Why does this slogan sound very familiar?
If you change the slogan to this way, it will look more casual and domineering:
With sunflowers in hand, I have the country!
The sun rises east, and I am the only one who is invincible!
The leader of the Eastern world, the literary achieves the morality of martial arts,
Benevolence, righteousness, wise, the best in the world,
Revitalizing the Divine Cult, benefiting the people,
Unify the world for thousands of years!
Men who have practiced the Sunflower Book have a unique temperament and charm, but those who dare to practice it are all people with great perseverance.
Don't believe it?
Then I will give you a book of Sunflower Books and ask if you dare to practice it?
In addition, Stephen Chow's slogan is also domineering:
I am on the left, on the right, on the white tiger, on the waist, on the dragon's head, on the chest, on the person, on the person, on the Buddha's side, on the Buddha's side, on the Buddha's side!
Or shout: Shinjuku Old Sage, with endless magic power...
"The emperor has an order, promulgate... Mu Xiaotian will meet you!" Just as Mu Xiaotian continued to think of the messy slogans, an eunuch shouted loudly at the door of the hall.
Mu Xiaotian walked up the steps and felt a little excited when he thought that he was about to meet the ancient emperor.
The kings in ancient times were the most powerful people. They could make countless people fall into the ground with just one word. Those who hold the highest authority would subconsciously become awe of ordinary people.
As he entered the Astronomical Hall, Mu Xiaotian walked in the middle, and under the gaze of dozens of eyes on both sides, Mu Xiaotian was not timid.
With the Penglai Cave as its backing, who can do anything to my spirit!
Standing in the middle, looking up at Ji Tong, the Emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty on the steps, he felt a little disappointed. He and himself also had two eyes, two nostrils and one mouth, and there was no difference.
Ji Tong, who has a national face, also stared at Mu Xiaotian with bright eyes and said, "What a handsome young man, he is indeed a handsome talent."
Ji Tong stood up: "Dear humeral ministers, Fu Wanqing's son-in-law Mu Xiaotian was taken by a laity and accepted him as his adopted son. When Fu Wanqing knew that this laity had a divine water that could prolong life and cure diseases, he begged the laity to save me, so he begged the laity to give divine water to save me.
However, the divine water was extremely precious. The paradise was unwilling to give it up easily, so he made things difficult for Fu Aiqing and proposed to use his concubine and two daughters as the price in exchange for the divine water that could save his life.
Fu Aiqing was loyal and did not do anything to save me. He would rather be laughed at by others. He still promised his concubine and daughter to the adopted son of a paradise as his wife, in exchange for the Divine Water to save my life.
Fu Aiqing is loyal to me and saved my life. I decided to give Fu Wanqing a gold medal to avoid death."
"hiss!"
All civil and military officials couldn't help but take a breath. Being given a gold medal for avoiding death means that they can enjoy many privileges. As long as Fu Wanqing did not commit a serious crime like rebellion, he could be exempted from death.
The civil and military officials in the court all looked solemn. They were preparing to jointly impeach the prince and Fu Wanqing and Qiu Zitong, two great scholars. But who knew that the emperor actually gave Fu Wanqing a gold medal to avoid death. How could they impeach him? Isn’t this a slap in the face of the emperor?
Seeing the civil and military officials in the court seeing their eyes changing, Fu Wanqingshu felt relieved and exclaimed in excitement and kowtowed in vain: "I thank the emperor for his kindness!"
"Fu Aiqing, hurry up and calm down!" Ji Tong happily swept his eyes to the ministers: "I will reward those who are loyal to me."
Mu Xiaotian felt uncomfortable standing under the steps. He looked up at Ji Tong on the steps and felt his neck a little sore. If he hadn't been thinking about his reward, he would have wanted to say goodbye.
Fu Wanqing was awarded a gold medal for avoiding death. I wonder what benefits he would give me?
Ji Tong finally turned his gaze to Mu Xiaotian and asked kindly, "Mu Xiaotian, your godmother's divine water saved my life. I want to thank her in person. I don't know which sect your godmother is? Where is your home?"
Mu Xiaotian suddenly became alert. He was not only 16 years old on the surface, but his soul has 28 years of experience and has traveled from the modern world.
Mu Xiaotian hummed in his heart: "You have bad intentions when you see it. You must be trying to find out the source of the innate spiritual spring from my godmother! The innate spiritual spring is in the Penglai Cave in my mind. I lied to you that the innate spring water was given to me by my godmother. I want to find out the whereabouts of the innate spiritual spring and dream about it!"
He quickly replied: "My godmother doesn't want to tell me that she is from that sect. My godmother said that she was fatally injured and the divine water could not drive away the internal force that was invaded by the enemy. She had been alive for a while. It was useless to tell me that she was from that sect, but it only increased her worries. After she gave me the divine water, she hurried away from me."
When I think of meeting me by chance, I treat my godmother sincerely. Now I don’t know if she has returned to the Huanyue Sect, nor do I know if the innate spiritual spring I gave her can cure her injuries.
What's more, my godmother voluntarily returned to the sect to get the crime and die. Even if her injuries heal, she would definitely die, because she wanted to apologize for her death to offset the mistakes she made.
When I thought that I would never see my godmother again, I felt sad in my heart, tears fell down, and I couldn't help but burst into tears.
Ji Tong felt disappointed. He originally wanted to reward Mu Xiaotian, but he wanted to take out his godmother's whereabouts from him so as to get the source of the divine water.
But seeing Mu Xiaotian's heartfelt sadness and crying loudly, he was sure that his godmother would not be able to do anything. Now that he rewarded Mu Xiaotian with great significance has lost any meaning.
Ji Tong sat on the dragon throne in disappointment and asked calmly: "My dear friends, Mu Xiaotian has made contributions to offering the divine water to save me. Tell me how should I reward him?"
"Hey! It's good!" As soon as he heard that there was good, Mu Xiaotian's sadness was diluted, and his tears immediately stopped and he sobbed twice from time to time.
When the ministers heard the emperor asking for their opinions, someone immediately stepped out of the line and stood in the middle: "Your Majesty, I believe that the divine water was exchanged by Lord Fu for his daughter and concubine, and Lord Fu made a great contribution. And Mu Xiaotian has already gained benefits. After marrying a beautiful wife and a beautiful concubine, he naturally doesn't have to reward him again!"
"The emperor, I also think that I should not give him any more." Another minister stood up and said.
"I'm going to discuss it!"
"I'm going to discuss it!"
...
Mu Xiaotian ran by with thousands of grass and mud horses in his heart, watching dozens of ministers stand up against rewards for him, and let him watch Fu Wanqing eat meat, but he can't even drink soup.
There were thousands of words in my heart that wanted to express them, and finally blurted out: "Fuck..."
When Fu Wanqing heard the emperor ask about the ministers, he knew that the emperor had changed his mind and did not want to reward Mu Xiaotian again because Mu Xiaotian had lost his value.
For these ministers, they were all wealthy nobles, and it took more than ten years to reach their current high position. How could they be willing to see a lowly servant who was suddenly named a high-ranking official by the emperor and on an equal footing with them?
This is absolutely impossible. Even if the emperor wants to give Mu Xiaotian a high-ranking position, they will definitely stand up and persuade the emperor to give him some silver.
Fu Wanqing glanced at Mu Xiaotian with a squinted look. It was just right for the emperor to not value Mu Xiaotian, so he could find a chance to get rid of him.
Mu Xiaotian's behavior and tone of speaking during this period made Fu Wanqing notice the strangeness, fearing that he would cause the Fu family to destroy the clan.
Just like when he was waiting outside the hall, he was so brave that he dared to slap Grand Secretary Mu Baokun in the face. If he just hit the prince or prince, it would be a disaster for the three tribes!
Fu Wanqing did not dare to take the lives of everyone in the Fu family and bet whether Mu Xiaotian dared to beat the royal family.
"It's his business that he wants to commit suicide, but he must not be implicated in my Fu family. His unstable factor must be removed as soon as possible." A hint of chill appeared in Fu Wanqing's eyes.
Just as the officials were unanimously suggesting not to give Mu Xiaotian a reward, a different voice came out.
"Father!" The sixth prince stood up sideways and walked to the middle and said, "I dare not agree with the advice of all the ministers. I believe that my father not only needs to reward him, but also has to reward Mu Xiaotian heavily."
Ji Tong looked at Ji Wen in confusion, and even Mu Xiaotian was confused: "This Sixth Prince sent a killer to want my life. Will he kindly suggest that the emperor reward me more? If there is any problem, there is definitely a problem!"
Mu Xiaotian doesn't care about any benefits now. He stays with people like them who plot against others all day long, and has to be on guard against their conspiracies all day long.
If you don’t have a Penglai Cave, you will be killed by them sooner or later. You should leave the capital as soon as possible. The farther you are, the better, and you can die of many brain cells.
Ji Tong said expressionlessly: "Son, tell me your reasons."
"I believe that my father will be happy when I see my father recovering, and I hope my father can live for tens of thousands of years." Ji Wen bowed:
"I have a vast land in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Since there are objects that are against the will of heaven and change fate like the divine water, there should be other treasures of heaven and earth. However, divine objects are precious, and others will only hide them tightly when they get divine objects. How could they spread them everywhere? Therefore, my son believes that the father should reward Mu Xiaotian and tell the people of the world that as long as they dedicate the divine objects to the father, they can exchange them for endless glory and wealth. With Mu Xiaotian as an example, those who have treasures will be moved and willing to dedicate the hidden treasures to the father in exchange for glory and wealth."
Ji Wen's words went to Ji Tong's heart.
As the king of a country in the thousand-year dynasty, he didn't want to die. He wanted to live a long life and unravel the secrets left by the founding holy ancestor.
Ji Long, the founding ancestor of the Western Zhou Dynasty, once left a legacy. When every emperor enthroned the crown prince, he must hand over the token of the crown prince in his hand to the newly enthroned crown prince.
The prince's token contains words engraved by the founding saint, who clearly remembers it: "If the descendants of later generations are incompetent and cannot defend the Western Zhou Dynasty, they can come to Wanzhang Mountain to see me with the prince's token!"
Just this sentence puzzled the Ji family's ancestors for more than ten generations.
You should know that the Holy Ancestor was the founding emperor who established the Western Zhou Dynasty, so he naturally could not speak nonsense and deceive his descendants.
But what is confusing is that the Saint Ancestor Ji Long was a person from a thousand years ago. Could he be an immortal figure?
If he cannot live forever, what if future generations can see him?
In order to understand whether the Holy Ancestor can live forever, Ji Tong secretly sent people to find where Wanzhang Mountain is like the previous emperor.
But the result was the same as the previous emperors, and I still couldn't find out where Wanzhang Mountain was.
In order to live a long life, Ji Tong asked in a heart-warming manner: "Son, tell me, how should I reward Mu Xiaotian more so that everyone in the world can be moved?"
Ji Wen said word by word: "I am a king and a minister!"
