"It all depends on the palace master!"
All the elders in the audience nodded in agreement that they understood the usually cautious palace master's attempt to whitewash the situation.
As the chief elder of Huanxi Hall, Guan Yan's strength is naturally outstanding among them.
As a result, he was killed as soon as he went down to the lower realm!
If the palace master doesn't take action, who among them has the courage to go to the lower realm to regain his place?
What's more, the lower realm is already expensive and life is in danger. No one is willing to take this risk.
"Since all the elders agree, we will wait for the master of this palace to come back before going to the lower realm." Upon seeing this, the master of the Happy Palace said nothing more.
For Huanxi Palace, making good friends with the God Realm is indeed much more important than taking risks to avenge a dead elder.
…
Dajing capital, Gu's Tea House.
"Have you all heard about it?"
"In a few days, the empress and King Jingyang will hold a birthday banquet for the little princess."
"It's a palace not far from the imperial palace. It is said that the empress grew up there. I really want to see it!"
"You can go if you want!"
"That's the little princess's birthday party. Can we ordinary people go there?"
"Of course you can go!"
"I am on duty in the Ministry of Rites, and I can tell you clearly that this is an order personally issued by King Jingyang."
"As long as you are a citizen of Dajing and have never committed any crime, you can attend the banquet!"
“This is true joy with the people!”
"It is indeed a blessing for Dajing to have King Jingyang!"
In the teahouse, the vendors and the Qingliu nobles were all talking about the little princess's birthday party.
At this time, Lao Yang, who had just finished playing a set of eight pieces of cotton, passed by with his hands behind his back.
Listening to everyone's praise, a proud smile appeared on his lips.
What an honor!
My young master is indeed the most capable person in the world!
And he can also go to the birthday banquet held in the palace.
"Ahem!"
"Eat well, everyone! Drink well!"
Old Yang coughed twice and inadvertently dropped a gilt invitation.
Pretend not to see it and keep walking forward.
"Oops! Lao Yang, you dropped something!"
At this time, a regular customer quickly picked up the invitation and called to Lao Yangtou.
When the regular customers saw the content on the invitation, they were stunned.
"This...is this an invitation to a birthday party?!"
"um, yes."
"Thank you, Old Wang, for helping me pick it up, otherwise I would have been scolded by the young master again." Old Yangtou took the invitation calmly and put it away slowly.
As soon as these words came out, the entire teahouse's eyes focused on Old Yangtou.
Those eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred!
This bad old man is so bad!
In the current capital of Dajing, invitations to birthday banquets are hard to come by.
I don’t know how many rich and noble families begged for an invitation to a birthday banquet.
A steward of a tea house easily took out an invitation, how could he not make people envious and jealous.
Envy is envy, jealousy is jealous, no one dares to cause trouble in this teahouse.
Because this is Gu's Tea House.
Like Gu's Teahouse, almost every lively place in the capital of Dajing was talking about the little princess's birthday party.
Every citizen in the capital was happy from the bottom of their hearts and wanted to go to the banquet and get a chance to soak up the blessings of the little princess.
Some are happy and some are sad.
The people in the capital were happy, but the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households and the Department of Military and Horses were suffering.
Gu Lan's decree united the people's hearts, but it made their work more difficult... So many people who usually work hard to make ends meet had to get busy at this time.
These days.
Almost every citizen in the capital submitted an application to attend the banquet.
Just checking everyone's identity information makes them miserable.
But pain is pain, it was the first time they saw people supporting a person so much!
That enthusiasm made them feel for the first time that it was meaningful to study and be an official for so many years. Some civil servants even saw Gu Lan's glory and seemed to have regained the ambition they had made when they were young!
In the past few days, their spines have been straighter than usual.
"This decree from King Jingyang has great meaning!"
"This is a scene that has never been seen in Dajing. I saw in a trance that a glorious and prosperous age is about to come..."
Sima Qin, the prime minister, looked at the officials and people in the capital and was filled with emotion.
There was a hint of longing in his serious expression.
Establish your mind for heaven and earth, and establish your destiny for the people!
Continuing the unique knowledge for the past saints and creating peace for all generations!
He heard these four sentences of Gu Lan's ambition from the empress, but now it was the first time he truly felt the true meaning.
Since Gu Lan became King of Jingyang, he has brought many surprises to the world.
These surprises are something that even Her Majesty the Empress has never given.
"Now the people and officials of Dajing are united as one, which is the blessing of Dajing."
"But despite the grand occasion, there are also hidden worries..."
"We need to be alert to the danger of Dayu destroying the country. If there are people gathering from all directions, there will be young people. We must not let suspicious people enter the city!"
"Your Majesty and King Jingyang are dedicated to Dajing, so naturally we can't live without food."
"All in all, there must be no disturbance at the little princess's birthday party!"
"Wei Zhi, today I will hand over the command of the capital's Army and Horse Department to you. If anything unexpected happens, come to see me!"
"I accept my order from my humble position!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Zhi solemnly took the token belonging to the commander of the Military and Horse Division.
This is his chance and he won't let it go.
The Commander of the Military and Horse Division is at the fifth level and holds military power. I don’t know how many people are interested in this position.
In addition to his own strength, the more direct reason why he got this position was Gu Lan.
Wei Zhi was very sober.
Sima Xiangguo thinks highly of himself, not only because of his friendship with Black Firefang, but also because he has a good relationship with Gu Lan and is a fellow from Langzhou!
We are fellow countrymen with the best person in the world... Every time he thinks of this, Wei Zhi is so excited that he can't sleep!
The official forces were taking action, and Gu Lan's people were not idle either.
Li Xiong led a group of Yanyulou members who were armed to the teeth and monitored everywhere in the capital of Dajing.
As long as anyone with a little bit of strength enters the capital, they can't escape their eyes.
The magical weapons and elixirs that Gu Lan rewarded them were no joke.
During this period, some people also caused trouble.
But it was just a small fight, and it didn't stir up any splash at all.
With the help of Gu Lan's wealthy people, Yanyu Tower has suddenly become a powerful force that can compete with any top force. Although it is not as powerful as Tianji Pavilion, it can still be called a behemoth and is no longer just a killer organization hiding in the dark.
Time passed slowly and the birthday party officially began.
On this day, the empress traveled in a dragon chariot.
In front of the dragon chariot, there are six horses with flaming flames driving them. The chariot is inlaid with various treasures, all showing the royal grace and splendor.
Along the way, hundreds of officials accompanied him, and hundreds of flowers fell.
When the emperor arrived at the palace for his birthday banquet, the gathered people spontaneously made way for him.
"Long live Dajing!"
"Long live your Majesty!"
"Long live King Jingyang! Long live the little princess!"
The people cheered from the bottom of their hearts.
The people from the Military and Horse Division frowned slightly when they heard some of these treacherous words.
"The common people don't understand this, and if it involves the prince, it cannot be a crime of speech, so there is no need to deal with it."
"Our duty is to protect the tranquility of the capital... Do you understand?"
Seeing that the new recruit Danzi wanted to take action, Wei Zhi glared and immediately gave the order.
"Yes, sir!"
Several recruits who wanted to show off their strength immediately had stern expressions on their faces!
In front of the officials.
Sima Qin took the lead alone.
At this time, with a rare smile on his lips, he smiled meaningfully at the two old men in purple robes beside him:
"I heard that the Grand Tutor and Master Zhang Qingwei have prepared items for the little princess to catch Zhou Zhou. I don't know what they are? Can you tell my old friend first?"
