The palace is also surrounded by high walls and has four gates: southeast, northwest and northwest.
Next to the south gate of the palace, there is a magnificent mansion, which is the main hall of Wuhun Palace.
Mo Yu led everyone into the main hall of Wuhun Hall and found Nangong Xiongying, the elder of the main hall of Wuhun Hall.
After Nangong Xiongying received everyone, he arranged accommodation for them in the Wuhun Palace and asked them to have a good night's rest here before going to court to receive their rewards tomorrow morning.
A night of silence.
…
Early next morning.
royal palace.
Outside the splendid palace, countless solemn palace guards stood neatly under the stone steps.
In that magnificent hall were all the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty.
In front of the civil and military officials, there are majestic nine-story jade steps.
Above these nine jade steps is a majestic throne.
A middle-aged man wearing a yellow robe is sitting on this throne. He is obviously the king of Xia Kingdom - Dongfang Yingzheng.
On the left side of Dongfang Yingzheng, there is also a special throne.
Sitting on this seat is a beautiful girl.
Although the girl is only seventeen or eighteen years old, she can already make people understand what it means to conquer a country and a city.
She wears a white crown on her head, a purple dress, her facial features are as beautiful as a painting, her skin is as fair as jade, and her long hair is as smooth as a waterfall. No matter from which angle she looks, she is so flawless, with no flaws to be found.
Moreover, she is not only incredibly beautiful, but also exudes an aristocratic temperament. At first glance, she is a woman born into an imperial family.
There is no doubt that this woman with both beauty and temperament is none other than the princess of Xia Kingdom - Dongfang Zixuan.
Under the nine jade steps, there are four seats, two on each side.
Four highly respected ministers sit on these four seats, in sharp contrast to other officials.
There is no doubt that these four ministers sitting in their positions with extraordinary status are none other than Nangong, Shangguan, Murong, and Lin, the patriarchs of the four major families.
The Xia Kingdom was established by four major families assisting the royal family.
Almost all the important official positions in the Xia Kingdom are in the hands of these four major families.
Without the assistance of these four major families, the royal family would be nothing more than an empty shell.
Therefore, these four major families have an extraordinary status in Xia Kingdom.
The patriarchs of the four major families are all worth more than ten thousand people. Even King Xia has to give them three cents.
And in the imperial court, they naturally did not have to bow their heads to the King of Xia like other officials. Instead, they had special seats set up like guests.
After the civil and military officials went to court, they began to discuss important events in the court.
"Your Majesty, the master and members of Zhongzhou Wuhun Palace arrived at the main hall of Wuhun Palace yesterday." Nangong Xiongying stood up and reported.
"Declare them to go to court!" King Xia announced.
"The master of the Xuanwu Soul Hall and the core members of the Wuhun Hall go to court!"
A loud voice spread from the hall.
Soon, Mo Yu led Ye Yun and others into the magnificent hall.
The moment Mo Yu and others appeared, the eyes of all the civil and military officials all fell on them.
"Master Mo Yu of Zhongzhou Wuhun Hall, please see King Xia." After Mo Yu entered the hall, he was the first to clasp his fists and bow in salute.
"Ye Yun, a core member of Zhongzhou Wuhun Palace, please see King Xia." Ye Yun also clasped his fists and said.
"Li Shuang, a member of Zhongzhou Wuhun Palace, is here to see King Xia."
"Wang Dali, a member of Zhongzhou Wuhun Palace, is here to see King Xia."
"Chen Su, a member of Zhongzhou Wuhun Palace, is here to see King Xia."
Li Shuang, Wang Dali, and Chen Su also followed suit and bowed to salute.
"No etiquette." King Xia waved his hand to signal everyone to do so.
Afterwards, he looked at Ye Yun with satisfaction and said: "A hero is born from a young boy! The younger generation is to be feared! The younger generation is to be feared!"
Obviously, Ye Yun is younger than he thought.
Although he had long heard that Ye Yun was very young, he still did not expect that Ye Yun was so young.
"King Xia, thank you for your reward." Ye Yun also said politely, cupping his fists.
King Xia waved his hand with a smile, and then a eunuch beside him stepped forward and read out the edict: "By God's blessing, King Xia issued an edict: Recently, demons broke out in Jizhou, causing numerous casualties and casualties among the soldiers, and the people were displaced. Ye Yun killed the demons and saved Jizhou. Thousands of people have contributed indispensably."
"The king announces that he will grant Ye Yun the rank of second-rank military officer, and make him one of the ten generals of the Xia Kingdom. He will be titled "General Wu'an" and be in charge of an army of one hundred thousand. I hereby declare it to the world. "
As soon as the eunuch finished reading the edict, the whole hall was in an uproar, and all the civil and military officials were discussing heatedly.
Soon, some highly respected ministers came forward to persuade King Xia.
"Your Majesty, King Xia, I think it is too hasty to allow Ye Yun to serve as the ten generals of the country now. The ten generals of the country hold heavy troops and are related to the safety of the Xia Kingdom. How can such an important position be handed over to him? To a teenager?"
"The last general thinks that the Minister of Rites is right. The ten generals of the Xia Kingdom have always been held by strong martial arts masters. But this Ye Yun is not in the true martial arts realm, so he may not be able to take on this important task."
"Weichen believes that Lin Tianlong of the Lin family is above Ye Yun in terms of strength and qualifications. It is more suitable for him to serve as the ten generals of the country than Ye Yun."
Almost all of these officials who made remarks were members of the four major families: Nangong, Shangguan, Murong, and Lin.
So even if they objected, King Xia couldn't say anything.
"Four patriarchs, what do you think?" King Xia said to the four people sitting below.
The middle-aged man wearing black gold armor stood up first and said: "Ye Yun is a core member of my Wuhun Palace, so I know him better. Not only does he have outstanding talents, but he also has strength that far exceeds his own cultivation, as well as strength that far exceeds his age. Wisdom may not necessarily make you incompetent for the position of the ten generals of the country."
This middle-aged man was extremely strong, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he exuded a solemn murderous aura, which was obviously acquired by people who had killed countless people.
There is no doubt that he is the Xia Kingdom's highest combat power, Marshal Nangong Wudi.
At the same time, he is the patriarch of the Nangong family and the representative of the Nangong family.
After Nangong Wudi finished speaking, an old man wearing a prime minister's hat and a long beard stood up and said: "Being able to awaken a heaven-level martial spirit, Ye Yun is indeed a genius. This is undeniable. But he still has He is too young and is obviously deficient in military strategy, so he may not be able to shoulder this important task."
This old man with a long beard wearing a prime minister's hat is obviously Shangguan Haoming, the left prime minister of the Xia Kingdom.
At the same time, he is the patriarch of the Shangguan family and the representative of the Shangguan family.
After Shangguan Haoming finished speaking, another old man wearing a prime minister's hat stood up.
This old man who also wears the prime minister's hat is none other than Murong Fuxing, the right prime minister of the Xia Kingdom and the head of the Murong family.
He and Shangguan Haoming are both known as the dual figures of the Xia Kingdom.
