In the Jinluan Hall, Emperor Jingtai was the leader. After he slowly left, the meeting was officially concluded successfully.
When you come, you come in in an orderly manner, and when you leave, the same is true.
The higher the official position, the slower he walks.
After leaving the Jinluan Palace, Shenwu Zhenjun Li Kuangxiu's eyes suddenly turned to Gu Tianqiong, stared at him for a moment, and said, "Brother Gu, why don't you go to my house to talk?"
Gu Tianqiong narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly:
"Since it is Brother Li who invites you, Gu will naturally not refuse, please."
"please."
In a few words, the two decided everything, and then there was a wave of waves in the void around them, and when they looked again, they had disappeared without a trace.
Xiao Jing's eyes were calm, and after the two senior officials, Gu Tianqiong and Li Kuangxiu, left, he looked at Chen Yuan and said:
"Marquis Wu'an, not bad."
"The Governor has commended you. I would like to congratulate you on your promotion."
Chen Yuan's title is the same as that of the Grand Governor Xiao Jing, but his residence is two thousand households higher than his. This is indeed a strange news. After all, his official status is now very different from Xiao Jing's.
"Master Zhang said, do you want to be the divine envoy of the Heavenly Word?"
Xiao Jing went straight to the point without beating around the bush.
Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows. He originally thought that Zhang Yantong was looking for the Grand Governor Gu Tianqiong, but now he saw that was not the case.
The 'Grand Governor' he refers to does not refer to Gu Tianqiong, but to Xiao Jing, who has not yet ascended to the throne!
But the relationship between them seems to be unknown.
"If you can become a divine envoy, you can better contribute to the imperial court." Chen Yuan also revealed his ambitions without hesitation at this moment.
Xiao Jing ascended to the position of Grand Governor of the Sky Patrol Division. It is foreseeable that his position of power is no longer as powerful as that of the former Grand Governor Gu Tianqiong, but he is still the number one figure in the Sky Patrol Division anyway.
For such an important position as the Four Divine Envoys, they still have a lot of say.
"It's a good thing to have pursuits. The Governor has taken note of this matter. In a few days, we should start discussing the Tianzi Divine Envoy. Someone will inform you."
Xiao Jing's character is that he is taciturn. Now that he has said so much, it is enough to show that he has a special regard for Chen Yuan.
"Okay, thank you very much, Commander-in-Chief."
"Um."
Xiao Jingcheng nodded, Zuo Tiancheng, Wu Tianxi, Zhang Yantong and three others also came together with smiles on their faces:
"Congratulations to Brother Xiao on becoming the Grand Governor."
"From now on, Zuo will call himself a humble person."
"Grand Governor, Brother Xiao is well-deserved."
On the surface, the several divine envoys are naturally very friendly, but they are not known to anyone in the interior.
But one thing is clear, that is, the three of them are self-aware and know that they can't compete with Xiao Jing, so they don't even compete to avoid embarrassment in the future.
Therefore, Xiao Jing's rise to power was relatively smooth.
As long as the top is fixed, the bottom is very stable.
"Thank you for your awards. From now on, the Tianxian Division will still be inseparable from you. Although Xiao has been promoted to the Grand Governor, you and I have worked together for decades, and we have a lot of friendships. From now on, we will still have to rely on you."
Xiao Jing showed a rare smile.
"You're welcome, Governor."
"The Governor has been promoted today, why don't you come to my house to talk about it?" Wu Tianxi smiled heartily.
"Okay, it's true that we haven't had a drink together for a long time." Xiao Jing nodded in agreement.
Then, Wu Tianxi turned his attention to Chen Yuan and said with a smile:
"If Marquis Wu'an has nothing to do, why not come to the house and talk to me? I have wanted to invite you a long time ago."
When it comes to title, Chen Yuan is one level higher than them, but his official position is one level lower. Therefore, although the attitude of several divine envoys towards him has changed.
But on the whole it's still relatively equal.
Things like being arrogant and deliberately provoking trouble rarely happen unless necessary.
Peace and harmony are the norm in the yamen.
Or in other words, superficial kindness is the norm.
There are really not many people in the court who live without contact.
Therefore, although Chen Yuan is interested in the Tianzi Divine Envoy, and they each have allies, they still will not break up until that moment.
Of course, the main reason is that Chen Yuan's status and potential deserve their attention.
Marquis Wanhu, Marquis Wanhu, who is only over 20 years old, is probably the only one in the past thousand years.
And it is a real military title.
In addition, he is still a strong man in the Huayang Realm, how can he not be taken seriously.
Chen Yuan thought for a while, and just about to nod his head in agreement, the three princes who had been paying attention to him took advantage of this opportunity to come closer. The eldest prince Sima Qian smiled and said:
"Master Wu, you are one step ahead. I also want to invite Brother Chen to the palace for a chat."
"yes."
Sima You also agreed.
Seeing this, Sima Ke quickly said:
"The Imperial Palace invited Brother Chen yesterday. The two royal brothers won't fight with the younger brother, right?"
Wu Tianxi glanced at a few people thoughtfully. Ordinary princes would naturally not be taken seriously by him, but these were all princes who were expected to be crown princes.
The status is still not low.
Immediately he looked at Zuo Tiancheng and others:
"Since several of your highnesses have invited us in advance, we can only invite Marquis Wu An another day."
"Wu Shenshi said something serious, it should have been invited by Chen."
Chen Yuan said calmly.
"Haha, okay, I will wait for Marquis Wu'an's invitation another day."
Wu Tianxi laughed heartily and didn't take it seriously. They exchanged glances and turned to leave.
Before leaving, Zhang Yantong nodded at Chen Yuan with encouraging eyes.
After the envoys left, Chen Yuan looked at the princes and said:
"Your Highnesses are making it difficult for me."
"How about this? Since several royal brothers intend to invite Brother Chen, how about we come together? This way, it is not unfair." Sima You suggested.
"I think this proposal is good, what do you think of Brother Chen?" Sima Qian turned his eyes, somewhat inquiring.
I'm afraid it's not possible to invite alone, so they can only settle for the second best and jointly invite Chen Yuan. They really want to know what Sima Ke used to impress Chen Yuan.
How could there be such a big change?
Chen Yuan's eyes flashed, he hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said:
"It's hard to refuse the kindness of your highnesses. If I continue to refuse to agree, I will be disrespectful of you."
"Brother Chen is serious."
"Marquis Wu An's words are serious."
"We have absolutely no intention of doing so. We just admire the things that Brother Chen did in Liangzhou and want to hear about it."
"It's extreme, it's extreme."
Sima Ke frowned, a little unhappy. Chen Yuan supported him. These two guys actually didn't shy away from the invitation. They simply didn't take him seriously.
However, haha. They are destined to have no hope.
Unless, they also contribute their mother and concubine.
Let Chen Yuan explore his lair.
Otherwise, all your efforts will be in vain.
Thinking of this, Sima Ke raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth and said:
"Brother Chen, since the two royal brothers have warmly invited you, why don't you all come to my residence to have a chat? How about that?"
"Fourth brother, I have specially prepared a table of sumptuous dishes for Brother Chen. I am going to let Brother Chen taste it. Can I come to your house next time?"
Sima Qian coughed twice.
"Brother Huang is well prepared."
"How could it not be more sufficient to invite the world-famous Brother Chen?"
"Yes, Brother Chen has repeatedly shocked the world and shocked the capital. This time, when the news about the youngest Chehou of my court comes out, it will definitely be shocked again.
This prestige is rare in the world! "
"Your Highnesses have given you too much praise."
"Brother Chen, please."
"Brother Chen, please."
"Your Highnesses, please."
Sima You's words were actually not wrong. After the meeting, the news that Chen Yuan was granted the title of Marquis was like a hurricane, sweeping through the upper echelons of the capital.
And the noise is getting louder and louder.
Chehou!
Marquis Wanhu!
The fiefdom is Ping'an County, Qingzhou!
Marquis Wu'an!
The youngest prince in Jin Dynasty!
There are so many titles that are endlessly amazing. They start from the top and gradually sweep out towards the bottom. There are many people paying attention to this court meeting.
Now that big news has come out, it is normal to make such noise.
In addition, there is even bigger news.
Gu Tianqiong, the Chief Superintendent of the Tianxian Division, has resigned!
Although he was granted the title of Duke of Wei, his position was higher than that of a king with a different surname, and all kinds of fights were very extraordinary, and he was still able to see the emperor without worshiping him, and entered the dynasty with swords and shoes, it was a supreme honor.
However, the power has been weakened visibly.
Many people are interested in what's going on behind the scenes.
For example, how did Jingtai convince Gu Tianqiong to give up his power?
The previous emperor also made such moves, but was pushed back.
Power is not so easy to gain.
But Jingtai did it!
And his purpose of doing this can be guessed by many people.
The emperor wants to centralize power!
Since ancient times, whenever this happens, it is the time of great turmoil.
What would an emperor do if he gained more power?
You don't need to think about it to know that you just want to expand your territory.
But in the current situation, with the imperial court facing internal and external troubles, it is obviously unrealistic to open up new territory and expand its territory, so it is natural to eliminate the internal troubles.
If you look carefully, there are many internal troubles in the DPRK, but there are only three obvious ones.
Wei Jinfeng, the king of Northern Liang, Nangong Lie, the king of Zhennan, and Xuezhou where demons are rampant!
Of the thirteen states of the Jin Dynasty, only ten were actually controlled.
And these three are all state capitals with very rich resources. Why is the imperial court not as powerful as the former Chu State? This is exactly why!
In addition, the Northern Barbarians' previous march south resulted in the loss of most of the Northern Liang army. Many people felt that Jingtai was targeting Wei Jinfeng.
But what the facts are is still just speculation.
The real situation is not yet known.
But no matter what, many people recognize Jingtai's methods. He can break the shackles and do what ordinary people can't. He can break through the Tiandan against the fate of the dynasty and the country.
There are really not many people who can do this.
At least he was the first among the emperors since the founding of the Jin Dynasty.
However, perhaps because of someone's deliberate push, the wind that was originally on Jingtai and Gu Tianqiong gradually began to move towards Chen Yuan.
The center of discussion has also begun to return.
It was as if someone had anticipated this step.
After leaving the imperial city, Chen Yuan was invited to the eldest prince's mansion by several princes who had kindly invited him. There were preparations inside, and when he arrived, maids came to serve him.
But Sima Ke sneered in his heart when he saw this scene.
What Chen Yuan likes is not this kind of hairless girl. What he likes is the plump beauty and the feeling of breaking through taboos.
Sima Ke thought that he almost had a deep understanding of Chen Yuan.
However, on the surface, he didn't say much, just chatting with a smile.
The dishes prepared by Sima Qian were indeed very attentive, and delicacies from all over the world were brought to the table. Although they were not as good as the essence of Xin Shishen, they still had a different taste.
The spirit wine is almost the best imperial spirit wine. Every cup is overflowing with spiritual energy and intoxicating.
There was good food and wine, and the beauty Sima Qian did not miss it.
His method was similar to that of Wei Wuque, the prince of Northern Liang. He collected many beauties, both fat and thin, from the Western Regions and overseas barbarians, as well as an oiran who was famous in the capital.
However, Chen Yuan was unmoved and just spoke with a slight smile on his face.
This level of concentration also impressed Sima Qian and Sima You.
I couldn't help but admire him in my heart.
I feel that the rumors are not all true. The idea that Chen is a good thief is completely groundless. It is a slander against Brother Chen. He is obviously a gentleman and not a womanizer.
During the dinner, both Sima Qian and Sima You flattered Chen Yuan a lot, praising him as the first emperor since the founding of the Jin Dynasty.
There are no ancients before, and there may not be anyone after!
A person who will be recorded in history books.
Chen Yuan responded with humility and no pride.
After that, the two asked softly and indirectly why Chen Yuan helped Sima Ke and what the reason was. However, when faced with this question, Chen Yuan cleverly changed the subject.
This made Sima Qian and Sima You a little depressed.
Seeing that Chen Yuan did not want to talk on the right track at all, they could only ask about the things that Chen Yuan had done in Liangzhou. They knew more than ordinary people, but they were definitely not as clear as Chen Yuan, the person involved.
They were really curious that Chen Yuan could actually kill the legendary Barbarian God of the Six Realms.
It can also activate the Zhenwu Immortal Sword.
It's really weird.
After all, all seven Wudang disciples participated in that battle.
Faced with such a commonplace question, Chen Yuan did not shy away from saying what he had said many times to the two of them, which made the two princes frightened when they heard it.
The void shattered, a giant hand lifted up the sky, and the blood of hundreds of thousands of people was spilled on the battlefield. Broken flesh and broken limbs covered the open space outside Liangzhou City, and the blood flow gathered into a river.
Even if I think about it, I can't help but be frightened.
Even hell is nothing more than this, right?
Chen Yuan was able to gain fame and status in such a shocking battle. No one could envy him, he could only admire him. After all, he had achieved his current status and power entirely by relying on his own swords and swords.
"Your Highnesses are overly praised. Chen never cares about a little fame. All I wish for is peace in the world."
Chen Yuan's words directly raised the level of casual conversation.
In fact, this is not too high. If you really want to be high-end, you have to use Hengqu Four Sentences.
However, this is not the right time.
It doesn’t make sense to say it.
At the banquet, several people talked a lot. The two princes also talked about the currently vacant position of Tianzi Divine Envoy in the Tiantian Division. After some compliments, they hinted that as long as Chen Yuan no longer helps Sima Ke, they You can say a few nice words in front of your father.
But Chen Yuan just didn't accept the move.
After listening to these words, Sima Ke raised the corners of his mouth slightly, as if he was sneering. He didn't speak much at this banquet, and he basically listened.
But Chen Yuan keenly discovered that his eyes were always looking outside.
I don’t know what I’m looking at.
However, the moon is indeed a bit round tonight and very bright.
"What are you looking at, fourth brother?"
Sima You asked casually.
Sima Ke coughed twice and smiled unnaturally:
"It's nothing, I just think the night view is nice."
"Well, it's really good."
Sima You glanced outside and continued to focus on Chen Yuan. Not to mention winning over Chen Yuan, as long as Chen Yuan stopped helping Sima Ke, then their two goals would be achieved.
The person who covets the position of prince will be counted as one less person.
"Brother Chen, it's a pity that you and I met too late. I deeply regret it. If you and I have known each other for a long time, I must be proud of you. He is really a man and a man of great character."
Sima Qian's cheeks were slightly red and he said drunkenly.
I don’t know if he was drunk, or if he was deliberately trying to say the words, but he just said them out of drunkenness.
"Yes, Brother Chen has great literary talents. Even if he is not a martial artist, he can still shine in the literary world. It is a pity that there is a strong martial artist in the world, but a great sage in the literary world is missing."
Sima You also said.
"The words of the two emperor brothers are wrong. The world respects martial arts, and dynasties use martial arts to build their country. Martial arts is the road to immortality. A man should control the world, move the sky, defeat thousands of enemies, and become famous all over the world.
In contrast, martial arts is the right way, the clear way, while literary way is the small way, the dark way."
"There is no need for you to argue. Civilization and martial arts lead the same way. It is not impossible to live forever by practicing literature. It's just that Confucianism and Taoism are in decline now." Chen Yuan smiled.
Sima Ke glanced at the sky again, thinking that time was almost up, and immediately suggested:
"It's getting late, I think that's the end of it for today."
As he said that, he winked at Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan was suspicious, but after thinking about it he agreed:
"Yes, your highnesses should rest early. Don't delay tomorrow's work because of drunkenness."
"Send Brother Chen to you."
"This palace is also"
"No, no, you two just stay. A little drunkenness is nothing to Chen." Chen Yuan chuckled and started to leave.
Sima Ke also quickly stood up, comforted Sima Qian and Sima You, and quickly followed Chen Yuan's footsteps. He didn't speak until he saw him leaving the prince's mansion:
"Brother Chen, stay."
"What else do you want, Your Highness?"
Chen Yuan had felt that there was something wrong with this boy before, and he felt like he was hesitant to speak.
Sima Ke looked around, walked closer and whispered:
"Brother Chen has been granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households today. It's time to celebrate."
"Whatever your Highness wants to say, just say it directly, right?" Chen Yuan frowned.
I don't know what the other party is trying to do.
Sima Ke calmed down and continued to whisper:
"Yesterday Ke Jian made an appointment with his mother and concubine. He will find a way to go out of the palace tonight to congratulate Brother Chen. Now that Brother Chen has returned to Beijing, the limelight has passed, so...ahem"
"you mean?"
"Yes, my mother-in-law is currently in Uncle Wu Wei's house. Brother Chen must take pity on my mother-in-law."
