Chapter 543: Feng Chehou, eat ten thousand households!(1/3)
It was quite refreshing to attend the court meeting for the first time.
The entire Jinluan Hall is paved with black jade and based on spiritual trees. At first glance, it looks magnificent and resplendent, and there is an indescribable aura of nobility rushing towards you.
The top is a golden dragon chair with dragon and phoenix patterns, which is lifelike.
There are golden wooden pillars all around, also carved with various mythical beasts, including real dragons, celestial phoenixes, unicorns, white deer, and cranes. As soon as you enter, a faint pressure envelopes the entire hall.
People with lower cultivation levels are less able to sense it, while those with higher cultivation levels are more aware of its horror.
Perhaps, this is also where the majesty of the royal family lies, exerting pressure on warriors with high levels of cultivation.
All civil and military officials filed in and walked in order.
On the left are the military generals of the imperial court, or the officials of the Tianxun Division, all of whom are military attachés.
On the right side are officials from the six ministries of the imperial court, all civil servants.
The two sides are clearly divided.
Among the military generals, Commander-in-Chief Gu Tianqiong and Grand Marshal Li Kuangxiu stood at the front, taking a nap, squinting their eyes and saying nothing, but there was an air of power about them that prohibited strangers from entering.
The four great envoys of the Xuntian Division arrived together, and most of the generals in the capital also came to see him.
This is a rather strange scene. Top officials like them do not need to come all on weekdays and can completely take turns to work. Otherwise, if all the civil and military nobles are added together, even the Jinluan Palace will not be able to bear it.
As far as Chen Yuan is concerned, the last time it was so neat was when he was in the ancestor worship hall.
The same is true for the civil servants. The leaders are a few old men with gray beards and extraordinary bearing. They are all important ministers in the court and first- and second-rank civil servants such as chief assistants.
Control political affairs.
Behind them are the officials of the six departments, all of whom are senior officials of the third rank who are on the same level as the four great envoys.
Chen Yuan's status is not low, and he is still relatively high among the fourth-rank officials. The appearance of him, an official who is relatively unfamiliar to many people, has also attracted a lot of attention.
Many eyes were fixed on him.
There is admiration, curiosity, envy, and disregard.
To most of them, Chen Yuan was both strange and familiar. Strange because of his appearance, familiar because of his reputation.
In today’s Shenjing City, who doesn’t know the name of ‘Chen Qingshi’?
And when he appeared today, many people could guess why.
Become a Marquis!
This matter has been widely circulated in the capital, and many people know about it.
They are also well-informed people, how could they not understand?
Facing the constant glances, Chen Yuan ignored them and followed the example of the others in front of him, squinting his eyes and waiting for Jingtai to go to court.
Not long after, a red-robed eunuch walked in from the side door and shouted in a drake voice:
"Your Majesty is here!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the entire Jinluan Palace suddenly became solemn. All the officials shut up and stared straight ahead. The officials who were asleep also opened their eyes.
Jingtai's figure gradually appeared, his steps moving slowly, neither too fast nor too slow, but very even, making people feel extremely solemn.
Following Jingtai were three princes.
The eldest prince Sima Qian walked in the front, the second prince Sima You was in the middle, and the fourth prince Sima Ke was in the rear with a calm expression.
Jingtai walked up to the dragon chair step by step, turned around and sat down slowly.
"I will see you, Your Majesty!"
"I will see you, Your Majesty!"
"I will see you, Your Majesty!"
A uniform voice resounded through the Jinluan Hall. The senior officials in the front bowed and clasped their fists, while the officials in the back knelt down to show respect.
"Everyone is safe."
Jingtai's majestic and deep voice sounded.
The officials in the rear stood up sparsely, and the atmosphere in the hall became quiet.
"All ministers present."
The old eunuch spoke again.
Then, one by one, the officials began to take a step sideways and bowed to play.
There are matters concerning the capital city, border pacification matters, and matters reported to officials from other states.
The princes standing beside Jingtai looked at Chen Yuan with complicated expressions.
Sima Qian and Sima You didn't understand why Chen Yuan, who had been fighting to the death before, actually reconciled with Sima Ke, and not only that, but also openly supported him.
As a result, Sima Ke's power began to increase rapidly.
Originally, they had all ignored their fourth brother, thinking that he had no hope of becoming the crown prince, but they interfered again, which made them extremely annoyed.
Why?
Why exactly?!
The impact of Chen Yuan, a highly prosperous official from the DPRK and China, openly taking a stand can be very huge, and can even offset their previous advantages.
They also sent people to send greeting cards, or personally prepared to visit him, but Chen Yuan's attitude was very different from before, and he basically declined.
Compared to the two of them, Sima Ke really felt relieved.
The mother-in-law did not give it away in vain!
Chen Yuan indeed had credibility and began to build momentum for him.
And this is just the beginning. He feels that after Chen Yuan is granted the title of Marquis today, his influence will be even greater, and by then he will really be on the same level as the other two brothers.
Many officials who were still worried before are now starting to take action and want to win over to their own camp. It is only a matter of time.
But before that, he had to stand firmly on a united front with Chen Yuan, or even get closer.
As long as Chen Yuan enters the Immortal Cave, they will really be grasshoppers on the same rope.
Even when he was in court, there was a faint smile on his lips.
This made Sima Qian and Sima You very unhappy.
There were many memorials in various places, and it was not until half an hour later that they were almost finished. Jingtai's eyes gradually turned downwards, focusing on Chen Yuan the most.
"Ahem."
Jingtai coughed twice, and everyone in the Jinluan Palace was in awe. They all raised their heads and glanced at him, but then quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the figure on the dragon chair.
"Is Chen Qing coming?"
Jingtai's voice sounded faintly.
Many people's eyes turned to Chen Yuan. His eyes suddenly moved. Knowing that his matter was about to come, he immediately took a step sideways, bowed and saluted:
"Wei Chen is here."
Jingtai opened his eyes and looked around Chen Yuan for a moment, his bored expression fleeting, and then quickly turned into a smile, which was completely invisible to outsiders.
"I am very pleased that Chen Qing has made an unparalleled contribution this time."
"Wei Chen dare not."
"Haha, there is nothing to be afraid of. The contribution you made this time is not small. You turned the tide in Liangzhou and saved millions of people. When I first heard the news, I was very happy for you."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
"Tell me what reward you want."
"Contributing to your Majesty and the imperial court is what a humble minister should do. I don't dare ask for a reward for my small contribution. I just hope that your Majesty will be in good health."
"Chen Qing really knows how to talk, haha."
Jingtai's hearty laughter sounded, and he seemed very happy.
"Wang Qian, tell me my will."
"Yes, slave, I obey."
The old eunuch in red on the side bowed slightly, took out an imperial edict from his sleeve, walked to the left, looked down at the officials below, and said loudly:
"Chen Yuan, the gold envoy of the Xuntian Division, listens to the order."
Chen Yuan bowed slightly again and calmed down.
"The Emperor of Heaven carries the order, and the edict says: Chen Yuan, the gold envoy who patrolled the sky, took office in Liangzhou in the third month, and made many achievements. He captured the descendants of the previous dynasty, single-handedly destroyed the Northern Barbarians Qishan King tribe, and killed the barbarians Huayang in a battle at Jianmen Pass. Xieyuegu led the eighteen cavalrymen of the Northern Liang Army and burned the grain and grass of the Northern Barbarians, which was an outstanding achievement.
In the battle of Liangzhou City, he was brave and not afraid of death. He used the Zhenwu Immortal Sword to kill the Barbarian God Dharmakaya, turned the tide and saved tens of thousands of people in Liangzhou. I am very pleased. I hereby confer Chen Yuan the title of Chehou, and he will live in the city for thousands of households. , the fiefdom is Ping'an County, Qingzhou, and the title is Wu'an!"
The eunuch's voice gradually fell away.
The entire Jinluan Palace was silent.
Marquis Wu'an!
