In this weird world, I use my body to control all things
Chapter 123 Meeting the Emperor
In the side hall, the decoration is not as luxurious as imagined, on the contrary, it is very simple and elegant.
Rows of bookshelves were unfolded, and all kinds of books and official documents were neatly arranged one by one.
In front of the bookshelf is a rather large huanghuali desk with auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes engraved on it.
The desk is not old, and you can tell it has been through a long time just by looking at it.
The most important thing is that the entire desk has no trace of patchwork and is carved in one piece.
In other words, the diameter of the huanghuali tree that carved this set of desks is at least one foot.
This kind of material is very rare, and it is made of one piece at a time.
Fine incense was also lit in the hall, and after a gentle sniff, I felt quite relaxed.
Today, Anle Emperor Zhao Huaili is sitting at his desk with a smile on his face, looking at Sun Shouren and Chen Mo who are walking towards him.
There were not many people waiting around him, only two eunuchs holding pens.
"I pay my respects to your Majesty." Sun Shouren bowed and saluted, and Chen Mo did the same.
"I love you." Emperor Anle Zhao Huaili said with a smile.
He looked quite young, as if he was only in his mid-twenties. To show his maturity, he deliberately grew a mustache.
His words were full of energy, his face was rosy, and his eyes were bright. At least on the surface, he had no intention of being hurt.
Zhao Huaili waved his hand, and the two eunuchs silently retreated.
"Ai Qing mobilized troops to Beijing this time. How many soldiers did he bring with him?" Zhao Huaili first looked at Sun Shouren and asked.
"Your Majesty, I am here with a total of 1,232 soldiers."
Sun Shouren accurately reported the specific figures.
Zhao Huaili nodded slightly, with a thoughtful look on his face.
The reason why he mobilized guards from various places to lead troops to Beijing was because he had discovered that many of the Forbidden Army generals were unavailable.
Some were not loyal enough, others were simply incompetent, and someone had to replace them.
The border troops could not move easily, and some capable guards naturally reminded him of them.
Among these people, Sun Shouren is undoubtedly the best among the best.
He has been in and out of battles all year round and has enough fighting experience, so his ability is absolutely unparalleled.
Although the elite soldiers led by his subordinates suffered a lot of losses before, they have been training for a long time, and now they have achieved results.
From the encirclement and suppression of Du Tiandao, it can be seen that the combat power of his soldiers is definitely not bad, much stronger than most of the Forbidden Army.
As for loyalty, that's not bad, otherwise he would not have given Sun Shouren a title.
Even a county baronetship is not easily awarded.
"How is your cultivation now? Has there been any change? Your adopted son has already reached the acquired realm, are you still wandering around in the Tongmai realm?"
Zhao Huaili smiled and joked, his tone was quite intimate.
Sun Shouren's face turned red and hesitantly said, "Wei Chen is going to lay a foundation in Tongmai Mirror for a while, and accumulate some cultivation before making a breakthrough."
"Haha, as far as I know, you have been in this realm for almost ten years." Zhao Huaili said with a smile.
It was obvious that even though Sun Shouren was not an official in Beijing, Zhao Huaili still knew his situation clearly.
"I want you to serve as a unified officer for the imperial army guarding the southern city. However, you have not yet entered the acquired realm, so it may be difficult to convince the public."
Zhao Huaili picked up the tea cup on the table, took a sip, and said leisurely.
"This humble minister is despicable and dare not accept such a big appointment easily. But if His Majesty orders it, I will go all out and tie a grass ring to repay His Majesty's kindness!"
Sun Shouren's tone was passionate and he bowed down.
"Ai Qing, please get up quickly." Zhao Huaili stood up on his own initiative, walked to Sun Shouren, and put his hands on him to help him up.
"Some time ago, Xuandan Pavilion paid tribute to a Tongxuan Pill. If you have the help of this Pill, you will have more than 70% chance of entering the Houtian Realm."
After Zhao Huaili finished speaking, Sun Shouren felt a sudden impulse.
The so-called utterance of the Constitution is not just talk.
As the leader of a country, no matter how powerful Zhao Huaili is, he has the destiny of a country in him.
As long as he is willing, what he says will be blessed by the dragon energy of the country, and has a greater chance of becoming a reality.
Of course, it is not for nothing that you want to achieve such a blessing. After the national destiny dragon energy is consumed, it must slowly recover over time.
The stronger the blessing effect, the more national luck dragon energy is consumed.
If he wanted to say that Sun Shouren would definitely be able to break through, the amount of dragon energy he would have to consume could be said to be very huge.
And the effect of this blessing is better the closer you are to him.
Especially since the capital city is where the dragon's veins are located and where the fate of all people gathers, the effect is even better.
But once you leave the capital, it's hard to say how much effect it will have.
After all, this is just a gathering of destiny for a country, not the destiny of the world.
"I thank your Majesty for the reward!" Sun Shouren said in an excited tone, bowing and bowing again.
Of course, he has also heard of the reputation of the Tongxuan Pill. This pill can help warriors who have perfected their meridians to push open the door of heaven and earth and directly enter the realm of acquired heaven.
The preciousness of this type of elixir is self-evident.
Zhao Huaili gave him this elixir, which shows that he attaches great importance to him.
"I love you." Zhao Huaili smiled slightly and turned his eyes to Chen Mo.
"You have acquired abilities at such a young age, you are a genius, you are truly extraordinary!"
He looked Chen Mo up and down, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.
Of course he also knew that with Chen Mo's talent, it was almost certain that he would reach the innate realm in the future.
The most important thing is that Chen Mo was not born into a wealthy family or a certain sect. The only person he had any contact with in the officialdom was Sun Shouren.
There is no doubt that Sun Shouren is one of his own, and he does not come from any aristocratic family or sect.
This is very important.
Of course, some officials who came from aristocratic families or clans were loyal to themselves, but most of them only cared about their own family.
Only officials from poor backgrounds would be truly loyal to him as the emperor.
Because they can only rely on themselves, and only they can give them what they want.
He doesn't care how Chen Mo practices, nor why Chen Mo has the strength he has now, he only cares about one thing.
That is whether Chen Mo can be used by himself. Since he can, he should be rewarded heavily and then cultivated carefully.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Chen Mo smiled, but he was not overly modest about this.
"You have saved my prince, and you have done a great job. I should reward you." Zhao Huaili sat back at the desk again.
"Tell me if there is anything you want, and I will give it to you directly."
His words were both questioning and testing.
Only people with desires are easy to drive. No matter what Chen Mo wants, wanting it is better than having no desires and no demands.
"Back to Your Majesty, Wei Chen has reached the level of cultivation now, but the skills are unsustainable. Wei Chen would like to ask for a few books of skills to understand and practice."
Chen Mo thought for a while and said what he needed most at the moment.
Other things, whether it is power, gold, silver or cultivation resources, are relatively not particularly difficult to obtain.
It is difficult to obtain it through other channels only by practicing the exercises.
Really advanced skills cannot be traded, and no matter how rich you are, you may not be able to buy them.
If you want to obtain the skills that can continue to satisfy your own cultivation, given your status, the only way to do it is to follow the path of the imperial court.
"Oh!" Zhao Huaili was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, it made sense.
Chen Mo was from a poor background, so he would definitely not be able to acquire any advanced martial arts knowledge. The skills Sun Shouren gave him would only allow him to practice to the acquired state at most.
If he wants to continue practicing, he will have to figure out the technique himself or find other ways to practice.
Chen Mo can cultivate to the acquired state, and his talent is indeed very good, but it does not mean that he has the ability to create his own skills at this age.
Even if he really has this ability, he doesn't know how much time it will take. This is a waste of his talent.
"Well, it's rare for a young person to have such a talent, and it's even rarer to pursue improvement."
Zhao Huaili seemed quite happy with Chen Mo's request.
He originally thought that Chen Mo would want high-ranking officials and generous salaries. After all, he was young, so it was normal for him to be confused by these things.
I never thought that Chen Mo only wanted to practice Kung Fu. This shows that he is a smart man who knows that his own strength is the most important, and he is motivated to make progress.
It is good to pursue progress. Such people will work harder to get things done.
Unlike some officials in the court who are like lazy donkeys and will not leave until they are whipped.
"Come here, get my ten thousand laws." He called out to the hall in a deep voice.
After only three or five breaths, an old eunuch hurriedly came holding a token.
This token is made of purple jade, with dragon and phoenix patterns engraved on the entire body, and the character Zhao in the middle.
Zhao Huaili took the token with a smile and stretched out his hand to hand it to Chen Mo, "This is my token. You can freely enter and exit the Wanfa Tower with it. You can choose and use all the techniques in the building at will."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Mo bowed and saluted, holding the token with both hands.
This is the most important thing to him now.
Sun Shouren had a look of surprise on his face. Of course he knew about Wanfa Tower.
It was built by the imperial court to gather all the laws of the world.
All kinds of cultivation techniques, regardless of whether they are high or low, are rare or not, the imperial court will collect them and preserve them.
Some warriors who came from relatively poor backgrounds had the opportunity to enter and choose their techniques after making contributions to the imperial court.
However, the vast majority of people only have the opportunity to enter it and choose one or two exercises to practice.
The token in Chen Mo's hand is different. He can enter and exit it at will, and he can directly take away the original technique.
This shows that he can take as many books of exercises as he wants from them, and they can be used as he wishes without any restrictions.
This kind of honor may not be held by many people in the world, which shows how much the emperor today values Chen Mo.
"Besides this token, what else do you want?" Zhao Huaili asked again with a smile.
Chen Mo has made great contributions, and it is impossible for him to reward Chen Mo with just a few Kung Fu books.
Giving him the token of Wanfa Tower can only be regarded as a sign that he values Chen Mo, but it cannot be a real reward.
"Your Majesty, I also want some cultivation resources to support my own cultivation." Chen Mo said straight to the point without hiding his thoughts.
At his current age, it is not his turn to be aggressive, so he can just say what he wants, which actually shows the simplicity and sincerity of a young man.
Zhao Huaili smiled and nodded, waving to indicate that the two of them could leave.
Of course, it is impossible to give Chen Mo another reward now.
We have to wait for the great court meeting in a few days to tell all the officials what Chen Mo has done before we can reward him again.
"I excuse myself." Sun Shouren and Chen Mo bowed down and slowly exited the palace.
Under the leadership of the previous palace minister, they left the palace city all the way.
"Although this token in your hand allows you to freely enter and exit the Wanfa Tower, you must remember not to overstep it and don't use too many techniques at will.
Don't even think about taking out the exercises there and reselling them, let alone finding them to help others practice. "
As soon as he walked out of the palace, Sun Shouren lowered his voice and gave serious instructions.
The emperor gave Chen Mo the token because he was interested in his talent and hoped that he could practice well, increase his strength, and contribute to the court.
But this does not mean that Chen Mo can do whatever he wants with this token and do something arrogant.
That would only make today's emperor unhappy or even disgusted.
Even if Sun Shouren knew Chen Mo's temperament, he would definitely be able to figure this out and would not do such a thing, but he still gave a solemn explanation.
"My child understands, I just don't know where the Wanfa Tower is. I want to take a look right now." Chen Mo held the token tightly and sounded a little eager to try.
He now needs new techniques to integrate his own strength and start the next step of cultivation.
