Entering the city from the main gate of Xuandu, not long after, the carriages and horses of the people from Jiulong Mansion followed General Zuo Jinwuwei to the entrance of the palace.
Everyone in the Jiulong Mansion got off the car and followed Chen Yutian and Xuan Xi into the palace to meet the saint. The carriages carried Bing Wang Yanzun and several seniors, plus Yun Sigh, who went back to Jiulong Mansion to arrange waiting.
And when Chen Yutian and other people from Jiulong Mansion followed a chamberlain to the Golden Palace of the Imperial Palace, Chen Yutian who was walking in front couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
Although they returned to Xuandu early in the morning, the hour was already at the end of the Chen hour, and there was only a quarter of an hour before the Si hour. The early morning dynasty, Chao Hui, and Mao hour started, and generally speaking, it was already over.
But at this moment, the ministers of cultural relics in the Jinluan Hall were separated on both sides. The emperor Sima Xuanye was also dressed in a golden dragon robe and wore a crown of twelve emperors, showing the majesty of the emperor.
This is obviously still in the early morning meeting.
"The emperor has left the cultural relics ministers at the court meeting, just waiting for the return of the master of the palace." The chamberlain who led the way withdrew, and was turned to be received by a close servant of the emperor.
Bai Fan, the former county magistrate who had recently joined the Jiulong Mansion, heard this and his expression changed slightly. The emperor held a banquet, and the civil and military officials of the court received the wind and washed away the dust. These are the famous generals who pacified the border and returned triumphantly, but they may not be treated like this. Jiulong Mansion is worthy of being established by the Emperor himself! !
Chen Yutian nodded slightly.
Immediately he looked back at Xue Tianhan and the others behind him.
After leaving Tang Fengling and the Thief Saint were not there, and Lin Dao was anxious to go back to see his son, but everyone else was there.
Even the third princess of the Barbarian Kingdom, Lang Feng, was there.
Of course, she didn't want to come, but her status was too special after all. As a princess from a foreign country, she must appear to see the emperor when she came to the Central Plains to avoid unnecessary trouble.
It's just that... to meet the emperor, you generally need to wear neat and decent court uniforms. However, except for Chen Yutian, the master of the palace, who has an official uniform, the rest of the people in Jiulong Mansion do not have court uniforms. The emperor did not intend to give them to Jiulong Mansion at the beginning. Make uniform official uniforms.
Besides, they had just rushed back from the barbarian country day and night and had no time to change into court uniforms. Even Chen Yutian, the only one who owned court uniforms, was still in casual clothes at the moment.
However, the emperor's personal servant seemed to have ignored this point. Shortly after everyone arrived, he winked at the Huangmen servant outside the door. The Dahuangmen official, who was in the third rank, immediately opened his mouth and declared:
"Meet you at Jiulong Mansion!"
As soon as the words fell, the civil and military ministers in the Jinluan Palace were all shocked, but they were back. From the time they and the emperor ended their court meeting until now, many of them were about to fall asleep. If the emperor hadn't been sitting on the dragon throne, half of the people would have fallen asleep in the hall.
Xuan Ye, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was also shaken.
"Haah...I'm finally back..."
The emperor, who was sitting in the first-class seat in the world, stretched his waist without dignity, yawned and said.
Below, although the civil and military ministers did not raise their heads, they were all speechless in their hearts. The emperor didn't say a word just now. Did he fall asleep?
The ministers smiled bitterly in their hearts, but it was not impossible to understand. The court meeting was held every day at Mao hour. Many of them who lived far away would take a sedan from home at Mao hour, go to the palace at Mao hour, and then start the state affairs.
Although the emperor does not need to get up so early, he still needs to sit in the palace and preside over the Mao hour before Mao hour. This time is too early, and the emperor often goes to bed late due to his busy schedule, so lack of sleep is common.
However, this yawn seemed to be contagious. Starting from the emperor, the ministers opened their mouths to yawn one after another, so that the third princess of the Barbarian Kingdom, Lang Feng, who followed Chen Yutian to the palace, looked puzzled. How could the civil and military officials in the Central Plains... They all look like they haven't woken up?
Seeing this, Yuan Tian also felt helpless.
"Your Majesty, sir." Everyone from Jiulong Mansion went to the hall, knelt down on one knee and bowed to Xuan Ye above.
"Lang Feng, the third princess of the Western Region Barbarian Kingdom, has met Your Majesty!"
As soon as Langfeng opened his mouth, he attracted the attention of many people in the court.
The barbarian kingdoms of the Western Regions and the Xuan Dynasty of the Central Plains have been fighting for generations. Although the number has been reduced in recent years due to the old age of King Jieli Khan, many generals present have fought against the barbarian kingdoms, and many of their family members have died. During the war against the barbarian countries in the Western Regions, after hearing Lang Feng declare his family status, these people's eyes were slightly evil.
"No courtesy, stay on your own."
Xuan Ye gently waved his hand downwards, and then said: "Chen Qing's mission to the barbarian countries in the Western Regions has been a complete success. He has brought eternal peace to our Xuan Dynasty. This festival should be rewarded. Chen Yutian, the master of Jiulong Mansion, stepped forward. Listen to the seal."
Chen Yutian's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this, and then he took a step forward and knelt down to listen to the seal.
"Chen Yutian, the lord of Jiulong Mansion, has made great contributions to the barbarian countries in the Western Regions. He is now granted the title of First Grade Wuhou, with the power to live in a hundred cities, and is still in charge of Jiulong Mansion. In addition, from now on, the Xuan Dynasty will add the Thirteenth Jiulong Guard, which will be permanently located in Jiulong Mansion. I will obey all the arrangements of the Jiulong Mansion and be granted the title of Chief of the Jiulong Mansion as the Grand General of the Jiulong Guard, taking charge of all affairs of the Jiulong Guard. I appreciate this!"
The civil and military ministers below and everyone in the Jiulong Mansion were stunned.
Chen Yutian was a little stunned.
First-grade Wuhou? He is only in his twenties, but he has already become a marquis? My father was only granted the title of Duke of the Town when he was nearly 40 years old. Even so, he can be said to be one of the youngest people in the history of the title. And now, at only twenty-five years old, he has already been granted the title of Marquis, and he is still the Marquis of Wu!
But that's not the most surprising thing.
The Xuan Dynasty has had twelve guards since the founding of the country, but now they have to add another one because of him. This is definitely a big sensation in the court. Many civil servants and generals frowned, feeling that the emperor's reward was too much.
However, before they could speak, the chamberlain beside Xuan Ye read out the achievements of Chen Yutian's trip to the barbarian countries in the Western Regions.
When I heard that the conspiracy of the eldest princess and the demon concubine to force the palace to usurp the throne was eliminated, the lives of the other six princesses of the barbarian kingdom were saved except the ninth princess and the third princess, and the Khan of Jieli personally acknowledged his promise of friendship with Baidai of the Xuan Dynasty. , the civil and military officials were all shocked.
Xing Enming also showed an expression of disbelief.
However, when the chamberlain at the court personally presented the alliance letter written by King Jieli Khan, the future King Khan of the Barbarians, and the current Ninth Princess Lang Yue, those who originally wanted to question it , he was pushed back before he could even exit.
EMI friendship means that from now on, the barbarian countries will no longer be a hidden danger, but a friendly country. There will be no more wars on the border of the Western Region.
If so, then this achievement is really too great. So big that even these rewards, which are already very generous, are insufficient.
After all, this is something that has not been done for generations.
Below, everyone in Jiulong Mansion was also a little shocked.
When they left, it was clear that they had not received the promise from the barbarian king Khan. I didn’t expect to witness such a big thing just after I came back.
In fact, this letter of commitment was written by King Jieli Khan in consultation with Ninth Princess Lang Yue long after the princesses were detoxified, and was secretly forwarded to Xuan Ye by a dedicated person. It was not handled by the Jiulong Mansion, so they It’s normal to not be clear.
"I accept the order and thank you for your kindness."
Chen Yutian bowed respectfully, and then heard Xuan Ye say: "Chen Qing is a normal person, and Jiulong Mansion has just returned to Xuandu. You must be hungry and tired from the long journey, so I specially held a banquet in the imperial garden to prepare for you. Everyone in Jiulong Mansion is welcome to attend. If there are any of you who are not here, I will send someone to Jiulong Mansion to notify you, and you can sit down with us first."
Chen Yutian nodded when he heard the words, and immediately followed Xuan Ye to the royal garden of the palace.
Just as Xuan Ye said, dozens of banquet tables have been set up here in advance. Sitting next to the water, you can enjoy the flowers and the water, which is very pleasant.
