Jinan Sea

The next day is the [-]th birthday of the emperor of the "Ziqing Dynasty".All the dignitaries from all over the world gathered in the Kalishan Palace.The two prime ministers, the three marshals, dozens of princes and ministers, hundreds of city lords, and hundreds of millions of people all over the world congratulated the Emperor of Heaven on his birthday.

Haoyue had to get up early to get ready.After what happened last night, Little Mirror King was still looking lazy and unable to get motivated.The maids unfolded the new clothes, and he picked them out for a long time, and then put on the blue-gray brocade robe he was used to wearing.He looked through the jewelry box for a long time.When she stretched out her hand to caress the jewel and jade, the corner of her mouth was smiling and her mood was much happier.It was near noon when he picked out a string of ruby ​​beads and held them in his hand, and hurried out the door.

Near noon, Kolli Mountain was filled with mountain fog and was gray.Haoyue went out with Little Mirror King.In the frosty mist outside the mansion, generals stood in awe, and the mountain road was covered with darkness.People are as silent as salt statues.There was one person surrounded by the generals.Haoyue stepped out first to look, and the man slowly looked back.Tall, tall and straight, handsome, vast and quiet.Surrounded by mighty soldiers in iron armor, he was as radiant as the bright moon in the night sky, crushing the stars in the sky.Quiet, stable, smiling calmly.Aged 27 or [-] years old, young people wearing dark purple brocade clothes and golden crowns have unspeakable precipitation and accumulation.There is a kind of awe-inspiring demeanor of a marshal of a great country.

Han Luoshan and Liu Zhen who were beside him came over with happy faces, greeted King Xiaojing and led the way.Xiaojing Wang nodded slightly and walked up Lishan Mountain with everyone.He glanced at him from afar, then moved on without words.There was no sound in the ranks.Haoyue felt that the man was looking at him carefully, so she couldn't turn her head to look at him.The young man in dark purple smiled at him, and said softly, "Brother Haoyue? Feng Litian is being polite."

Haoyue hurriedly saluted and said: "Don't dare to be, Marshal Feng can just call me Haoyue. You are the lord, and I am a subject. These titles should not be confused."

Feng Litian said gently: "It's okay. That's what I call Brother Mingzhu. If you think it's inconvenient, I'll call you by your convenient name."

Haoyue thanked her repeatedly.He took two quick steps to help Little Mirror King up the mountain.The mountain road was steep, and Xiaojing Wang was weak and out of breath after walking a few steps.Haoyue was a little worried about his body.Feng Litian and the others slowed down and waited for him, and everyone looked at Little Mirror King with cold eyes.After entering the palace, the maids led Feng Litian and others to the front chief.

Since the meeting between Xiao Jing Wang and Feng Litian, the two of them have not said a word, even saving their superficial politeness.Xiaojing Wang was so gloomy that he had a dull face.He has a mediocre appearance, and he only adds some charm by virtue of his good temper and his ability to talk and smile.This banquet and the same banquet were one of the things he hated the most in his life.He was impatient to accompany his smile with his mood.Feng Litian looked ahead, silent.The person beside him was covered in thorns.He understands that he can't be happy if he doesn't find himself.Every family has scriptures that are hard to recite, and the brocade clothes are full of moth holes, and the grievances between father and son are even more difficult to tell.Haoyue sighed secretly.

There are four subordinates standing behind the two masters.Liu Zhen, governor of Yucheng in the north, Han Luoshan, Haoyue, the first general of the Northern Army, Zhengxihou, and a boy with a white face and round eyes.The boy smiled at Haoyue, his eyes were bent into crescent buds, and two rabbit front teeth were exposed, very cute.He leaned on his ear and said, "Little boy, I heard that you have replaced Mr. Mingzhu as the manager. Mr. Mingzhu is my idol, no, he is a rare talent in the world. I have admired and loved him for many years .Aside from having a pretty face, what are you capable of being the manager of Two Cities and One Sea? It seems that I have to ask you for advice. My name is Ge Qiu."

sky.Haoyue looked at him in surprise.Ge Qiu with round eyes and rabbit teeth said with a smile: "If you can't even beat me, you should pack your bags and leave early. Invite Mr. Mingzhu back. No one else can be the governor of Two Cities and One Sea. Otherwise, you You and your boss will die together."

Haoyue forced a smile, swallowed and spit.What a fierce child.

Mingzhu Mingzhu, what an amazingly talented person you are.Even your opponents admire you.Didn't you trick me into being the manager to kill me alive?

Three thousand banquets are held at the inner table of Li Palace, and all the princes and city lords sit in their seats.The salute was fired, and the Emperor of Heaven and all the princes entered the hall.In the depths of the main hall hangs a huge gold-cast "Shou" character, followed by images of Nantian Xianweng and Yaochi Queen Mother.There is a jade table in front of the portrait, where birthday candles, birthday peaches and other things are placed.The palace is decorated with lights and festoons.

The Emperor of Heaven sat upright and received congratulations from his ministers.Fu Dehai, the chief eunuch in charge of the inner palace, presided over the salute.God has really come.Smoke curled up, and the bright yellow hall was dazzled by the lights. People could vaguely see a burly, bearded, ravine-faced elder on the throne, with bushy eyebrows and sharp eyes.Like cast iron statues.All the important ministers and generals bowed to the ground, not daring to raise their heads and exhale.This is the Jagged Emperor.

Firstly, the Queen of Heaven, Yang Mei, and all the royal relatives bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, followed by the ministers bowing in order until the ceremony was over.We had a birthday banquet together.The emperor of heaven was majestic and silent, and the crowd gradually became noisy after saluting.

Xiao Jing Wang is very self-aware, and he is ready to follow the rules and go through the motions with everyone.He is a local celebrity in a small town in the South China Sea, and has no actual official position.Only the post of Marshal who follows the adopted son Feng Litian can sit in the front row.This is not a good thing.He was depressed, Feng Litian was also silent, and the two of them stared at each other during the days of turmoil and joy.Surrounded by the officials, the Emperor of Heaven occasionally glanced at the two mud tires sitting side by side, and his eyes immediately became gloomy.

The chief eunuch shouted in a shrill voice: "See you, Feng Litian."

Before Feng Litian went to the hall, he bowed three times and kowtowed nine times.The Heavenly Emperor had thick eyebrows and bright hair, and the wrinkles on his protruding face were crowded together.When looking at the young powerful official, there was a hint of warmth in the cold eyes: "Pingshen. I am very happy that you rushed back from the northern battlefield to celebrate the birthday."

Feng Litian ordered people to send congratulatory gifts.One is a map of Drow City in the Xibo Forest outside the Great Wall, and the other is a longevity peach carved from snow porridge in the frozen polar regions.The Emperor of Heaven smiled slightly: "This is the drow map. How did you get it?"

Feng Litian said: "The map of Drow is locked in Tiezhen City. I ordered the army to besiege Bor. The minister and three thousand flying cavalry attacked Drow at night. After three days and nights of attacking the city, most of the troops were lost, and 100 people captured the city. Drow Iron Town, sneaked into the city lord's mansion, but was besieged. The city lord Weitar wanted to burn the map. I made an agreement with him to fight alone and never die. I win a knife for the life of a subordinate, Weita If Er wins, I will let him chop. I beat the opponent by more than 90 knives, and won more than 90 soldiers. Wei Tal defeated the minister by more than 20 knives, but I was not good at martial arts, so he chopped more than [-] knives." He slightly With a smile: "The only city lord is a good man. In the end, I couldn't fight back. His last knife would have hacked me to death. He suddenly dropped the knife and offered a map of surrender. I was lucky enough to get the map. Since then, the entire Drow region Belong to my territory of the Celestial Dynasty."

He put it lightly.The ministers were heartbroken after hearing this.One could imagine how sinister this battle was, and how heroic Feng Litian was.The Emperor of Heaven was furious, patted the armrest of the chair and said angrily: "You are having a good time. If the coach is in danger, who do you want me to hand over this Northern Territory to guard? Isn't this a small loss?"

Feng Litian said: "I know I was wrong. I will cherish the life of the coach next time to serve the country."

Everyone hurriedly gathered around to persuade the Emperor of Heaven.Fu Dehai squinted and saw Little Mirror King expressionless, slumped shoulders holding the ruby ​​beads in his hand.Fu Dehai called him in a high-pitched voice: "Master Jing Wang, aren't you happy that Marshal Feng has made such a great contribution?"

Little Mirror King was stunned, straightened his back and looked at the Heavenly Emperor and the crowd: "Happy, the villain is very happy. Congratulations to Marshal Feng for making such a great contribution, it is really a blessing for the people."

Jiuqian Ziliang also jokingly said: "Everyone is happy about good things."

Feng Litian returned the gift with a smile.Haoyue leaned over to help Xiaojing Wang straighten his clothes.

The Emperor of Heaven stared at the little mirror king coldly: "Xi Ke, I haven't seen the mirror king of Nanhai for a long time."

King Xiaojing had no choice but to kneel down and salute, saying: "Countrymen in the countryside are too lazy to come to Beijing to see you, please forgive me."

The Emperor of Heaven asked, "What can you do?"

A layer of sweat broke out from Xiao Jingwang's body, and he said cautiously: "Here, manage the government affairs of the small town, and dig the port and river..."

The emperor of heaven knows that he is not cold.Fu Dehai turned his little mung bean eyes at him, and said, "Isn't King Xiaojing busy listening to music and having fun? Although local feudal lords like you don't need to contribute to state affairs, but when fighting at the border, the rear has to be more restrained." .”

The Emperor of Heaven frowned when he heard this sentence.The Heavenly Emperor, nicknamed the Iron-Blooded Heavenly Emperor, relied on battles to open up the earth when he was young.He hated the four characters of arrogance, extravagance and licentiousness the most, and was very harsh and strict with civil servants and merchants.Little Mirror King's smooth tricks can scare the people in the court, but it annoys the Emperor of Heaven even more.Jing Wang immediately felt that his heart, hands and feet were cold.

The Emperor of Heaven looked at him coldly, his eyes were as cold and fishy as snakes and scorpions, and his face was covered with an iron mask.His vision made Xiao Jingwang sweat profusely.He suddenly turned his face and scolded the Governor of West Sichuan angrily, and after a while he got angry and ordered the officials to be dragged down for trial.Everyone in front of the hall is in danger.People frightened and put Xiaojing Wang in the local area.He had to kneel down.He was used to being pampered, and after kneeling for a while, his knees became numb, and his whole body felt fluttering.He pulled himself together and knelt down.Apart from eating, drinking and having fun, he really has no great disadvantages, the Heavenly Emperor hates him for treating him coldly, so he will lose face after kneeling for a long time.

What's more, he was very clear in his heart, the reason why the Heavenly Emperor made things difficult for him was nothing more than hearing too many rumors and complaints.

This kneeling only made the sky dim and the earth dark.Little Mirror King hadn't suffered this for decades, his whole body was sweating profusely, his head was dizzy, and his ears were buzzing.The sound of singing and dancing beside him was so flat that he was exhausted to death.Haoyue squinted her eyes and estimated the time. It seemed that Little Mirror King couldn't last long.He glanced at the people around him.Feng Litian's face is like an iron sculpture, Liu Zhen, Han Luoshan and Ge Qiu are ridiculing, and the rest of the officials are all watching with ecstasy.

A group of young people.

Haoyue turned around and withdrew from the crowd, and walked away.Ge Qiu turned to look at him and shrugged.

In an instant he was back again.Together with the guards guarding the temple, he carried a tall object and placed it in front of the temple.The chatter in the front hall became quieter, and people looked at him.

Haoyue smiled and raised her hand to tear off the black cloth on top of the things.Immediately, the hall was full of brilliance.There was a humming noise.It was a four-foot-high ruby ​​tower, densely packed with tens of thousands of rubies.As tall as a person, the red light flows, covering the natural light of the whole hall.This jewel tower is worth several cities.

Haoyue knelt beside King Jing, and said loudly: "This is the gem pagoda dedicated by King Jing to the Emperor of Heaven to celebrate his birthday. The war ahead needs money, and King Jing is more willing to manage the city affairs of the small city, collect taxes, and donate money for the Emperor of Heaven." Money and food to support soldiers. Fighting on the field and donating money and food off the field are all for the defense of the country. This mood is the same. King Jing also hopes that His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven can enjoy the world forever."

What a servant who is not afraid of death.Everyone gasped.

This remark is straightforward, and it has explained both the inside and the outside of the truth, and it is irrefutable.The Heavenly Emperor looked at the ruby ​​tower, the red light flowing from it printed the faces of Little Mirror King and Haoyue like residual blood.Tian Hou Yang Mei laughed: "Little Mirror King is indeed a very sensible and caring person, and you are also a loyal and good boy."

The Heavenly Emperor snorted and nodded slowly.Fu Dehai smiled with his master until his eyes narrowed.Said: "Master Jing Wang is still kneeling, get up quickly."

An embarrassment will pass.The atmosphere in the birthday hall became lively.Haoyue helped Little Mirror King back to his seat.Before the matter was over, Fu Dehai blinked suddenly and said: "I heard that there is a world-leading luthier in Prince Xiaojing's mansion. Why don't you invite him to play Qin Yiqu here. It will make everyone happy during the banquet."

Xiaojing Wang felt a chill in his heart, and saw several inner palace guards leading Qi Yanfei into the room holding the qin.
