It has been more than a month since we last met outside the Yangxin Hall. Queen Lin still has a deep memory of this young disciple of Taixuan Qingxu Palace. We are used to seeing gentle, elegant, self-proclaimed and romantic talents, and we also often see arrogant and arrogant warriors. However, under the power of Feng, all of them were submissive and did not dare to say anything. It¡¯s rare to see someone as calm and composed as the young man in front of him, neither humble nor arrogant! After all, he is an expert outside of Fang, and he is extraordinary. Think about it, if this young man is an ordinary person, how can he stand out among thousands of heroes, find the tripod of mountains and rivers, return to the east, and make great contributions to saving the fate of the Qin Dynasty? "It's a blessing for the common people to see the Queen's beautiful face again!" Listening to the Queen's words, Du Chongxiao did not dare to neglect and nodded slightly. Queen Lin smiled slightly when she heard this. The young man's answer was very appropriate, not too flattering, but also pleasant to listen to. Then he said: "Mr. Du, are you waiting for the Lord's summons?" "Exactly!" Du Chongxiao nodded. Queen Lin then turned to Manager Wei, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked: "Why has your Majesty delayed summoning Mr. Du to meet you!?" "I would like to report to you, Your Majesty, you are talking to Master Ziji of Taixuan Qingxu Palace. "Wei Jinzhong replied respectfully. The Queen did not give him an order to get up, so he could only kneel down and answer. "That's it!" Queen Lin nodded slowly, and with a glance, a palace maid stood out holding a jade plate. "I know that the holy dragon is in poor health and can hardly sleep at night, so I personally cooked the white fungus and snow lotus soup for the holy king, and bothered Mr. Wei to present it to the holy king!" Wei Jinzhong blocked it last time. I have a grudge in my heart, so I come here every time. They all handed over food and drinks to Wei Jinzhong, but never mentioned entering the temple to meet the saint! "Here!" Wei Jinzhong took the jade plate with both hands and responded. "If Mr. Du has free time tomorrow, please come to Kunning Palace and his party. I will send someone to invite you!" Queen Lin smiled kindly at Du Chongxiao, turned around and led the maids and chamberlains away. From beginning to end, Wei Jinzhong was not allowed to get up. After the queen left, Wei Jinzhong, the chief chamberlain, stood up with a jade plate in his hand. He asked Du Zhongxiao, who had a puzzled look on his face: "Mr. Du, do you know that 'rare things can be lived in'? Do you know that they are 'hot'?" Du Chongxiao pondered for a moment. He bowed slightly to Wei Jinzhong and said, "Thank you, Manager, for reminding me!" He was still a little confused at first, but after Manager Wei reminded him, he vaguely guessed that the Queen must have some good intentions in calling him! Wei Jinzhong¡¯s eyes were filled with admiration. This young man¡¯s mind was quick and easy to understand. His Majesty really knows people with his wise eyes. And His Highness the King of Han will definitely benefit a lot from having him as his teacher in the future! Morning morning on the second day. Emperor Qin stood in the Golden Palace and issued an edict to all civil and military officials about the fall of the Mountain and River Cauldron in Qingzhou. All the ministers kowtowed together and said, "The Holy One brings great blessings to the heavens, and the world returns to its heart." The treasure tripod of mountains and rivers chose the east land to fall. This is a good sign from heaven, and all people are very lucky. Great Qin! " The civil and military ministers seemed to be full of joy, but they had their own thoughts. Especially the officials of the prince's party. Those who were very deep in the city had normal expressions; while those who were a little worse could see a forced smile. And those who were even worse , the worry is completely written on his face. The prince is the eldest son, and he is talented and mature early. Even though other princes are eyeing him, he has the innate advantage of "the elders are in order, and the names are right". The officials of the First Party had never felt much pressure. However, when the news came that Shanhe Ding had fallen into the Han Palace in Qingzhou, the Prince and the First Party suddenly felt extremely frightened. It was like a big mountain weighing heavily on their heads. After kowtowing, Prime Minister Lu Zhong came out and said: "I would like to inform you, Your Majesty, I believe that the Mountain and River Cauldron is a good omen from heaven, and we must immediately welcome the martial arts back and offer sacrifices to the country. As a sacrificial gift, I pray that the treasure tripod will bless our country and the Qin Dynasty for generations to come! " Emperor Qin heard this and said in a calm voice: "What do you think? " "I second the proposal! "The Taichang Ge Ying of Jiuqing, the Shaofu Feng Zijing and other officials all came out to express their approval. However, Taiwei Zhou Yue objected and said: "The Mountain and River Cauldron is a spiritual treasure, symbolizing the destiny of the world. I am afraid it will move. Ominous! It would be a safer strategy to dispatch elite soldiers and generals to Qingzhou for protection and offer sacrifices on the spot to show sincerity! " Then, Ye Yuanming, the lieutenant of Jiuqing, and Chang Yan, the guard, came out to second the words of Taiwei Zhou Yue. "The mountain and river tripod is an important weapon of the country, how can it be placed outside the capital? "Taichang Ge Ying asked. "What's wrong with following God's will and offering sacrifices on the spot? "The doctor's order, Ye Yuanming, asked back. "The mountains and rivers are protecting the Qin Dynasty, not just a corner of Qingzhou. We must welcome martial arts back! "Shaofu Feng Zijing said resolutely. "In the whole world, there is nothing but the king's land. What is the difference between Shanhe Ding in Qingzhou and martial arts? "Wei Wei Chang Yan immediately retorted. "For a while, the ministers spoke tit-for-tat to each other.?, everyone has his own opinion. Dr. Du Zhi, the imperial censor, watched with cold eyes. Most of those who supported the return of Shanhe Ding to martial arts were from the prince's party. In order to weaken as much as possible the influence of the 'destined return', the only way to keep the crown prince's position is to welcome the Mountain and River Cauldron back and place it in the Tian'en Palace to show it to the world and show its orthodoxy! Therefore, it is not surprising that officials from the prince's party behave like this. As for the officials who were in favor of building a temple to offer sacrifices on the spot, as far as Du Zhi knew, Taiwei Zhou Yue, Weiwei Chang Yan and others were all close to the second prince Qin Yongzao. This behavior should be an attempt to sway the prince. The foundation is a wishful thinking of fishing in troubled waters and taking advantage of the opportunity to rise to the top. "But, if you do this, aren't you afraid of making wedding clothes for others?" The monarch and his ministers argued endlessly. Finally, Prime Minister Lu Zhong and Taiwei Zhou Yue led all the officials to bow to Emperor Qin and said: "This matter is of great importance. I beg your Majesty to make a decision!" Emperor Qin frowned and thought for a moment, then opened his mouth and said: "The Mountain and River Cauldron is the The auspiciousness coming from the sky is related to the fate of the world, so it is better to welcome Wu Gong and place it in the Tian'en Palace!" As soon as the golden mouth was opened, Prime Minister Lu Zhong and others couldn't help but look happy and shouted in unison, "The Holy One is wise." Although Taiwei Zhou Yue and others were unwilling to do so, they could only bow their heads and pay homage. He also heard Emperor Qin say: "In that case, let the prince choose an auspicious day and go to Qingzhou. In addition, since the fourteenth son Qin Zheng already has a fiefdom, it would be inappropriate to retain martial arts skills, so he will go to Qingzhou with the prince!" Hearing the Holy Edict! , the officials could not help but have strange thoughts. What is the purpose of the Holy Emperor ordering the Fourteenth Prince to accompany the Crown Prince? "One more thing! The great masters of Taixuan Qingxu Palace have contributed a lot to the return of the Mountain and River Cauldron to the Eastern Land. I want to reward you. I wonder if you have any suggestions?" Emperor Qin asked again. "Rewards are all decided by the Holy One!" Both the prime minister and the Taiwei were indifferent to the rewards given by Emperor Qin. Taixuan Qingxu Palace is the first gate in the world. All the real people have attained Taoism and Immortality. They regard fame, fortune and wealth as floating clouds. All they can reward is the treasures hidden in the palace! Emperor Qin nodded and glanced at the servant beside him. The chamberlain understood and immediately spoke up: "Du Zhongxiao, a disciple of Xuantai Xuan Qingxu Palace, is here to meet you!" Not long after, a young man in black walked into the golden palace, bowed to Emperor Qin who was sitting high on the throne and said: "The common people pay homage to your Majesty! !" All civil and military officials looked at him in surprise. They had heard of Du Chongxiao's name for a long time. In the battle of Yushi Pass last year, he single-handedly blocked more than ten thousand demon soldiers. In the end, reinforcements arrived, saving Yushi Pass from the disaster of destroying the city! Now there is news from Qingzhou that the Shanhe Cauldron's safe return to the East is almost entirely due to this young man! ??But we can see that his eyebrows are as thick as ink, his eyes are as bright as the sun and the moon, his divine pearls are restrained, and his shape is as tall as a pine tree. He once showed bravery with the border guards and performed extraordinary feats in search of treasures. Now standing in the Jinluan Palace, who dares to say that he is not a hero? The eunuch held the imperial edict in his hand and loudly announced the edict: "Now there is Du Zhongxiao, a disciple of Taixuan Qingxu Palace. He is a young hero. He is astonishing in the world. He has a heart for the common people and a kind heart. The border gates are blocking hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers who are trying to find treasures to save them. The fate of the world is coming, and now Du Chongxiao is entrusted with the title of Protector of the Country to the Immortal Wu Huaide. He is specially given a purple robe, jade belt, and a gold medal with a dragon pattern. "Hearing the imperial edict, all the civil and military officials could not hide the look of shock on their faces. Except for Emperor Gaozu, no real protector of the country appeared in the Qin Dynasty for more than five hundred years. Just because of the rise of academies in the world, Confucianism was respected from top to bottom in the Qin Dynasty. Buddhism and Taoism gradually declined, and their influence was no longer as good as before. Now that the emperor has issued an imperial edict, canonizing the disciples of Taixuan Qingxu Palace as the real protector of the country, what is his intention? Is it just to show his immortal merits, as the imperial edict said? Among all the civil and military officials present, no one would ignore Du Chongxiao¡¯s other identity¡ªthe teacher of His Highness the King of Han! Du Zhongxiao stood in the hall, frowning slightly. Although he had been warned by Master Ziji, he was still shocked by the content of the edict. Since the Taixuan Qingxu Palace lasted for thousands of years, only Taishi's uncle Xuanwei Zhenren has been granted the title of Zhenren protector of the country. According to his imagination, the person who was named the real protector of the country should be a person of high moral character and respect. Now he is only a second-generation disciple in the palace, and his cultivation level is not enough to understand the realm of cultivation. How can he be worthy of the praise of "virtuous and benevolent, caring for the common people"? "Master Du, it's time to accept the order and thank you!" the chamberlain reminded him loudly. Du Chongxiao thought of what Master Ziji said last night, 'With your unparalleled contributions, no reward is too high. Just accept it calmly. There is no need to worry about it! ¡¯ ¡°Master Du, it¡¯s time to accept the order and thank you!¡± the chamberlain reminded again. Du Chongxiao remembered that he stayed at the Han Dynasty Palace last night. Qin Zheng cried with joy when he saw him return. He knelt down and said: "Since the master left the capital, the disciples have been living like years. Now that the Han Dynasty has been granted the title, it is not as good as before. The people around him may be sycophants." , or someone with ulterior motives, no one except the master treats me sincerely" "Master Du, it's time to accept the order and thank you!" the chamberlain reminded for the third time. Emperor Qin¡¯s faceThe smile gradually faded, and he could see that Du Chongxiao wanted to refuse the reward. All the civil and military officials looked surprised. The servant reminded him three times but the boy remained indifferent. Could it be that he wanted to refuse the reward? "The common people thank you for your kindness!" A clear voice echoed in the Jinluan Hall. Du Chongxiao bowed his head gently and raised his head, his expression as magnanimous as the light of the sun and the moon!
