Mu Sheng walked to the white marble platform. He looked at the jade platform, and he was really shocked. It was a time-traveling experience, and it was indeed an eye-opener.
At this time, he was craning his neck to look carefully at the platform. On the platform of Shengxian, a majestic voice came from a vague figure behind the curtain.
"Is Sheng'er here?"
This frightened him so much that he hurriedly lowered his head and knelt down to salute and said, "Father, this is my son...Long live my emperor, long live my emperor."
"Sheng'er, come closer."
After hearing this, Mu Sheng carefully followed the palace attendants to the so-called Immortal Ascension Platform. It was not until he reached the top of the platform that Mu Sheng could clearly see the true face of "the Holy Lord of Pure Virtue and Pure Yang Manifestation" on the platform.
I saw him wearing a black and white Taoist robe, with deep facial features, half-opened and half-closed eyes, and an imposing figure. He was sitting on the white jade bed in the center of the stage, meditating and practicing.
Only then did Mu Sheng feel that there was indeed an overwhelming momentum in a truly great man. This was the emperor of the world. Ordinary people did not even have the courage to take a look at him.
He just took a quick glance, then quickly bowed his head and knelt down, listening to his instructions, not daring to disobey.
"Long live my emperor. He may live as long as the Southern Mountains, and may be as blessed as the East Sea. My request to see you today is to thank my father for the gift he received the day before yesterday."
After Mu Sheng finished speaking, he quickly lowered his head and kowtowed again.
"Sheng'er, I heard that the Heavenly Master Li Wen of the Yuzhen Sect accepted you as his direct disciple. Is this true?"
"Back to my father, it is indeed true. I just finished the apprenticeship ceremony yesterday. I am a disciple of the Jing generation."
"Okay! Okay! In the future, my Mu family will also have a heavenly monk, which is worth celebrating."
The emperor waved to the chief steward beside him, Eunuch Lu. Lu Liang stepped forward with a hint of understanding, took out the edict from his sleeve and read it in a sharp rooster voice.
"Young Master Sheng listens to the seal."
"My son, I will obey the Holy Orders."
Damn it? It’s just a thank you, but there’s actually a reward? This cheap father is really powerful. Is it really a double happiness in the past few days?
Thinking of this, he quickly gave another respectful salute, not even daring to raise his head the whole time.
"The imperial edict says: Your fourteenth son is endowed with extraordinary talents, his talents are solid, and he is as tall as a golden branch... In order to have a family and a good state, I have specially appointed you as the Lord of Changping, with a thousand households in the city, and you have been registered as a treasure. It is appropriate to respect and accept this."
When Mu Sheng heard this, he was confused for a moment. Damn it! I thought I was going to reward him with some treasure, but it turned out to be a title?
This prince is so powerful. Since the Jin Dynasty, unless the disciples of the prince's clan have made meritorious service on the battlefield, or are specially granted the title by the emperor, they can still live in the city with thousands of households? Became a big landowner in an instant? It feels like I've suddenly been hit by a five-million-dollar jackpot, and I feel like I'm floating away.
Of course, this is a false title. It only enjoys the tax revenue of the fief but does not have the right to govern, so this is great! This treatment of Fengjun Qianhu has basically come to an end.
If you want to be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households, that is, someone who has made a significant contribution to the dynasty, his treatment as a Marquis of Thousand Households is indeed the best as long as he does not perform meritorious service on the battlefield.
Throughout the history of the Jin Dynasty, there were only a few dozen people who could confer titles to tens of thousands of households, and all of them were military god-level figures who commanded major battles.
To be able to get a thousand households without any merit is really a bit of a social arrogance.
It seems that if you want to keep a low profile in the future, you will no longer be able to keep a low profile. This will definitely attract the attention of others. Since His Majesty the Emperor came to power, none of the princes has been able to make him a king.
There are only three princes among the royal family members, and those are titles obtained through desperate battles on the battlefield. Even the most high-profile Ninth Prince, Gongzi Xiu, will never be given the title of prince.
He guessed that the emperor gave him this title because he was a direct disciple of the Yuzhen Sect. Such a powerful monarch who had conquered the world would not be wrong. Even if he now wants to live forever, he is not stupid enough to randomly grant titles.
Mu Sheng was stunned by the surprise that fell from the sky for a moment. He was stunned on the spot. It was Lu Liang, the general manager, who kept winking and trying to remind him to kowtow and thank him. Mu Sheng finally woke up like a dream.
At this moment, he suddenly understood. He kowtowed like garlic and said, "Your Majesty, for ten thousand years, I really can't accept the title. I was born in a deep palace since childhood. I am still young and have no significant contribution to the court. I would be afraid of being granted the title of king rashly." Being criticized by the government and the public, I asked my father to take back his life. My sons and ministers are frightened. How can I be so virtuous and favored by my father? I must ask my father to take my life back."
Damn it! He suddenly realized that this prince must refuse to accept it. If he accepted it, he would immediately change from the small transparent human background in the past to the spotlight among the royal family members, and the most handsome boy besides the prince.
As the old saying goes, if morality is not matched, there will be disaster. Shouldn't this cause public outrage? If you have real merits, you won't have to say anything, and it will be natural for you to be awarded the title.
Mu Sheng thought about it again and again, but still thought it wouldn't work! Still determined not to have this title.
The emperor was quite surprised when he heard Gongzi Sheng's reasons. How could he hide his clumsiness at such a young age? Then you have to have this title even if you don’t want it!
The emperor's tone suddenly became stern, "Sheng'er, I have always kept my word since I was in the imperial court. Is there any reason to return the rewards that have been given out? Do you still think of me as your father-in-law?"
These words were a bit serious. When Mu Sheng heard this, he was so frightened that he kowtowed and blurted out a series of dragon farts without thinking.
"Your Majesty's wise and mighty power swept through the seven kingdoms of Kanto and unified them. This glorious achievement is unprecedented in the annals of history. It is unprecedented and will never be followed. Who dares to despise your majesty for this great achievement through the ages? What about the seven kingdoms of Kanto? Aren't they all crawling like mud? At His Majesty’s feet.”
"Your Majesty rules the world and conquers the whole world. All nations come to court, and the barbarians obey wherever the heavenly soldiers come. Your Majesty is worthy of the title of emperor for eternity. For thousands of years, your Majesty, all you have to do is obey your orders. How dare you disobey your father's orders?" …”
At this moment, Mu Sheng was really scared inside, and his legs couldn't stop shaking. It really fulfilled the old saying, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, the power of God is unpredictable!
Now he really admires the general manager Lu Liang for having served His Majesty for more than thirty years without any problems. He is so amazing that he feels ashamed.
The emperor laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha! Okay! What an emperor for all eternity. He is worthy of being my emperor. Sheng'er comes closer."
Although the shot of the dragon's fart is very straightforward, Mu Sheng is young and has not yet been crowned, so the words he says are very lethal. If he is older, the shot will look oily. Although the leader likes it in his heart, he doesn't look good on his face. will show.
Mu Sheng was satisfied with this. He lifted up his sleeves and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Then he stood up and slowly approached the emperor. He thought that the dragon's fart was a good shot.
As the saying goes, flattery can never be worn, especially for an old leader who has been in office for a long time. What he likes most is for others to praise his past glorious years. Now he has finally passed the test. No matter where he is in the world, he is familiar with the background of his direct leaders. Resume is very important, and flattery must be targeted.
Mu Shengxing lowered his head when he came to the emperor. Even so, the emperor's superior pressure still made him dare not raise his head to look at him.
"Sheng'er, raise your head and let me take a good look at you."
Mu Sheng had no choice but to raise his head and look at this cheap father as he was told. He was about fifty years old, but he still had black hair and a boyish face, but there was no trace of age on his face. Could it be that this big liar could really lead to immortality? Is there any elixir?
The emperor stared at Mu Sheng for a long time, then sighed and said, "It's so similar. If my Zhao Ji is still alive, I will definitely make you the crown prince. If I become an immortal in the future, even if I travel all over the Nine Netherworlds, To find your mother..."
The emperor seemed to be lost in long memories, suddenly came back to his senses, and added another sentence
"Sheng'er, I made a mistake...don't take it personally."
When Mu Sheng heard this, he kowtowed quickly and said, "I understand, father, that taking care of your dragon body is the blessing of all people in the world."
Mu Sheng's heart moved. It seemed that the emperor had no choice but to go ahead. As for the words of establishing the crown prince, it was probably an unintentional mistake, and he didn't take it seriously at all.
"Sheng'er, I will give you another treasure. Lu Liang, go and give Sheng'er the Ten Thousand God Pill made by Master Zhang. Zhang Zhen'er's Ten Thousand God Pill is so wonderful. In the past three years, only four pills have been cultivated. It has the ability to bring the dead back to life. Don’t use it lightly unless absolutely necessary.”
After a while, Manager Lu led a Taoist boy onto the platform, and the Taoist boy carefully handed a sapphire box to Young Master Sheng's hand.
Mu Sheng took it with respectful hands, bowed and kowtowed again, "Thank you, Father, for giving me the medicine. May your Majesty live forever."
Even if it was a fake medicine, he would admit it, but he couldn't offend Tianwei anymore.
"Sheng'er, please go back. In the future, you can come here and visit me whenever you have free time."
"Father, my son and I want to fulfill my filial piety in front of the emperor all the time. My son and I retire, and my son and I kowtow. Long live my emperor, long live me."
After thanking the emperor, Mu Sheng walked out of the hall with a heavy heart, holding the medicine box in his arms.
Just outside the entrance of the main hall, a voice came from behind, "Mr. Changping, please stay."
This old man is a bit interesting, he changed his title so quickly...
Mu Sheng turned around and asked, "What is Mr. Lu doing? But His Majesty has summoned me?"
Lu Liang chased after him quickly, his smiling face almost twisting into a twist. He didn't have this attitude before...
Lu Liang handed over a gold medal and said, "Mr. Changping, this is the gold medal granted by His Majesty. You are the only one in the civil and military dynasties who has received this honor. From now on, as long as you hold this medal, you can travel unimpeded in the Tai Chi Palace without your Majesty's special message." You can come to see me when you are called, just send someone to inform me in advance before coming."
Upon hearing this, Mu Sheng immediately bowed to the circular hall and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I am really frightened. Please ask the steward to report back to Your Majesty. I will accept it."
After saying that, Mu Sheng respectfully took the gold medal with both hands and pocketed it...
