It has been almost ten days since Han Feng was summoned by Emperor Wu in the Hall of Supreme Harmony and Han Feng returned to Tianlao. Emperor Wu has yet to announce the "judgment" against Han Feng.
Even though he was eating well, sleeping well in the prison, and being taken care of diligently by Mr. Wang next door, Han Feng couldn't help but feel a little worried.
I thought in my heart, could there be some variables in this?
Is it possible that Emperor Wu planned to imprison himself and use him as an experimental subject for research? But that’s not it.
Han Feng originally understood the five attributes of heaven and earth, but only revealed three of them. He simply wanted to shock Emperor Wu and make him feel that he had picked up a treasure passed down from generation to generation, without being so shocked that he would even have the idea of "dissecting" himself for research. impulse.
Since this was not the case, could it be that the other party saw something?
When Han Feng displayed the three kinds of heaven and earth energy in the main hall, he clearly remembered that a strange light suddenly bloomed in the eyes of the Emperor Wu, which was captivating, as if he could see through the void.
Xian'er also secretly reminded Han Feng that this Emperor Wu was secretive and was by no means an ordinary person.
However, there is a demon refining pot secretly covering up, blocking the other two heaven and earth energy auras in his body. No matter how strong the opponent is, he should not be able to sense it.
Could it be because of the Eye of Dongxu? Han Feng thought to himself.
When he confronted Shangguan Shengyun and used the power of the Eye of Dongxu to strengthen the power of heaven and earth, Han Feng knew that the secret of the Eye of Dongxu was terrifying.
But after the Eye of Dongxu was refined into his body, it became more secretive than being placed in the demon refining pot. Some people with high cultivation levels would naturally be able to detect the clues, and Han Feng would also use this power sooner or later. , he simply stopped hiding it.
But I would have guessed that with my evil-level talent in the eyes of Emperor Wu, the other party would be embarrassed to take away the Eye of Dongxu from me again.
…
In this way, Han Feng was consolidating his cultivation in the heavenly prison while thinking wildly and trying to figure out Emperor Wu's intentions.
A few more days passed until he was detained in the sky prison for half a month.
Finally, His Majesty Emperor Wu sent someone to Tianlao to convey the decree.
It was Hong Xi, the eunuch in charge, who delivered the message.
When he came outside the cell and saw Han Feng, who was shackled and receiving the edict, Hong Xi's eyes showed a complicated look, but he finally spread out the edict and recited it loudly.
"Your Majesty has decreed that Han Feng, a senior disciple of Tiannan College, has achieved success in cultivation and has made many meritorious deeds. He is a man of great talent.
Now I am issuing an order to retain the imperial capital, grant him the title of Hanlin Academy, rank him as a fifth-rank "lecturer", grant him a mansion, and restore his title of viscount. Admire this! "
"Well……"
After hearing the imperial edict read out by Manager Hong, Han Feng, who knelt down to receive the edict, couldn't help being stunned on the spot.
"Hanlin Academy, bachelor?"
Han Feng had already expected that His Majesty Emperor Wu would temporarily stay in the imperial capital to serve.
But when Han Feng thought about it, even if His Majesty retained him in the imperial capital, he should have held a military position, such as joining the city guard, the forbidden army, etc.
But he never expected that he would be assigned to the Hanlin Academy. You must know that in the past and ancient times, the Hanlin Academy was the holy land of literati in the world and almost the "production base" of the civil service group.
Emperor Wu's arrangement really caught Han Feng off guard.
Moreover, Han Feng was also a little dumbfounded by the imperial edict's final order to restore his position as Viscount, because he didn't even know when he was deprived of his position as Viscount.
"Ahem...Scholar Han, why don't you thank me for accepting the order?"
Seeing Han Feng kneeling on the ground in a daze with a strange expression, Manager Hong couldn't help but give a reminder.
Han Feng woke up from his dream and hurriedly thanked him and accepted the order.
Manager Hong then smiled and said, "Congratulations to Bachelor Han on your promotion to the rank of nobility. Your future will be limitless."
Han Feng smiled bitterly and said, "My father-in-law is joking. I am a martial artist. I wonder how your majesty can confer me a bachelor's degree in the Hanlin Academy?"
Manager Hong said with a smile: "Scholar Han is a versatile scholar in both civil and military affairs, so there is no need to stick to his civil and military positions. Moreover, the Imperial Academy is known as the "Emperor's Private Man" and is the place where His Majesty "nurturing talents and hoarding hopes".
Although the rank here is not high, once promoted, they often hold important positions. Nowadays, many civil and military ministers in our court, and even high officials in the border areas, have served in the Hanlin Academy. It can be seen that His Majesty attaches great importance to Bachelor Han! "
After speaking, Manager Hong took a step closer and whispered: "What's more, Your Majesty is doing this for the better, not to protect the safety of Academician Han."
Compared with the last time I saw Han Feng, Manager Hong today was obviously much more amiable, and there was a sense of intimacy in his words.
Having said this, Han Feng also knew that His Majesty Emperor Wu would never take back his life.
He no longer dwelled on this issue and asked instead: "By the way, father-in-law, I wonder if there are any other rewards in the imperial edict?"
Manager Hong was stunned.
"Other rewards?"
"Eh...is this the reward from the Inner Sea Trial?"
"This..." Manager Hong shook his head in shock when he heard this. He didn't expect that Han Feng had just escaped from the catastrophe and was able to gain promotion and reinstatement. He actually wanted to get the reward of the Inner Sea Trial.
He had no choice but to reply: "Old slave, I haven't heard your Majesty mention it. If Academician Han still has questions, he might as well ask his Majesty himself when he sees him in the future."
"All right"
Han Feng nodded helplessly.
Later, under the attentive escort of the prison boss Lao Wang, Han Feng, who was unshackled again, left the prison and said goodbye to Manager Hong. Under the leadership of the two men, he walked out of the imperial city.
Walking out of this imperial city again, Han Feng felt like seeing the light of day again.
He was very suspicious that the reason why he was imprisoned in the heavenly prison for half a month was not because Emperor Wu didn't think about how to deal with him.
But in order to retaliate, he used the three powers of heaven and earth in the main hall to shock him into losing his composure on the spot. Then he deliberately left himself in the sky prison to think and scare himself.
With a few secret curses in his heart, Han Feng, led by two guards, headed to the mansion where Emperor Wu had rewarded him.
He had just communicated with Manager Hong and knew that he would need to go to the Hanlin Academy to report his appointment in three days.
I also know that the teams from major colleges currently receiving awards in the imperial capital will also leave the capital one after another in the next few days.
As for the news that he would be released today, someone notified Tiannan College in advance, and they were already waiting for him at the "Bachelor's Mansion".
(ps: The fourth update is here. Han Feng, a Hanlin scholar, begins his journey to further his studies in the imperial capital. The stories for the next period of time will all take place in the imperial capital.)
