1469 Chapter 414-conferred the title of Marquis

he was already a high ranking official in the zhou state. he was a first-rank high official, the managing vice school head of jiyin academy, and the first vice school head. he had great power.

Once he broke through to a higher realm, Emperor Huiwen’s reward would be indispensable. With the current mess of Zhou state, if he wanted her to work hard, he would definitely give her the title of King.

“i have a grudge with him.” Xiao ran said.

Zi ‘er had also heard about the matter between him and Emperor Sheng Wen.

If not for his great contribution this time, not to mention Marquis Wushuang, even the Vice Sword Master of the divine sword guards would not stand a chance.

I’ll be very busy today after I’ve been rewarded. I’ll have to visit many people and prepare the wedding gifts for sword 12 and the others.

“then why are you still coming back tonight?”

“I don’t know yet. If I have time, I’ll try to come back.” Xiao ran said.

zi ‘er tidied his collar and kissed him on the forehead. she said, ” “no matter how late it is, i will wait for you!”

“Yes.” xiao ran gave her a hug and walked out.

They left Jingwen Lane.

As he walked on the street, his steps seemed casual, but they were all dozens of feet away. Soon, he arrived at the Vermillion Bird gate.

When the guard saw him, he bowed respectfully. “greetings, lord xiao!”

“Yes.” xiao ran nodded.

They entered the palace.

after a few days of recovery, the mess left behind by the third prince’s rebellion had been restored. at the same time, the guards of the imperial palace had been strengthened, and many unfamiliar faces had appeared.

Almost all of the Imperial Dragon Holy guards took over the defense of the palace.

There were still many cultivators in the dark, and although they had concealed their auras, they could not escape his eyes and ears. Even the Super formation that protected the Imperial Palace had increased from one to three, and the auras of the three great formations were perfectly fused together, making the power of the formation even stronger.

“It seems that what happened in the Royal Palace of Zhou state has made Emperor Sheng Wen wary. That’s why he increased the defense of the Royal Palace,” Xiao ran thought.

along the way, they met many people.

among them was the minister of justice, lin weiyong. when he saw xiao ran, he smiled and nodded to greet him. however, they were in the palace now and there were eyes and ears everywhere, so he didn’t go up to greet him.

After entering the hall of proclaimed peace, the civil and military officials stood in four rows-civil officials in one row, military officials in another, princes in another, and nobles in another.

he pondered for a moment.

xiao ran did not go anywhere. he stopped near the door and stood in the row of military officials.

there were many familiar faces among them, such as the first prince, the second prince, the third duke, fu xianhe, and so on.

Emperor Sheng Wen had not come yet. He was only awake for two hours a day and was sleeping the rest of the time. He watched as the sun rose higher and higher outside.

“his majesty has arrived!”

Xia Wei Yang’s voice came from the inner palace.

Then, Emperor Sheng Wen walked out from behind with a cold face. Compared to before, his face was very pale, like a piece of white paper, without any blood. It was as if a gust of wind could blow him to the ground.

however, his steps were very steady, and there was a huge power in his body. it seemed that his attainments in the son of heaven’s bestowment technique were very high. it was just that his previous injuries had not fully recovered.

xia weiyang followed closely behind him. other than him, there was also an old eunuch. this person was very unfamiliar. he had a head full of fiery red hair and was very eye-catching. he looked like an ordinary person, but in reality, his every move was filled with the principles of the great dao.

“true god?” xiao ran thought.

eunuch liang and eunuch zhu were still nowhere to be seen. it seemed that what had happened before had not dispelled emperor sheng wen’s wariness and distrust of them. it was just that they did not know if he had regained control of the film department.

“Your Majesty!” Everyone saluted.

Xiao ran followed suit.

Emperor Sheng Wen sat on the Dragon Throne. His sharp eyes swept across the crowd with great pressure. Then, he waved his hand and gestured for them to stand up.

he looked at the imperial table, on which there was a memorial. this had been handed over by the six ministries, and after the approval of the three ducal ministers, it was placed in front of him. it simplified the process, saved more time, and improved work efficiency.

there was only one thing written on the memorial, and that was to confer xiao ran the title of marquis wushuang. there was nothing else.

looking at it, emperor sheng wen’s heart was very complicated.

If it was possible, he really did not want to confer Xiao ran the title of Marquis Wushuang, especially during the days of the previous discussion. Every day, the moment he arrived, the ministers were already ridiculing him. Like a Mad Dog, they were all clamoring to confer Xiao ran the title of King of the opposite sex.

They were all suppressed by him!

As long as there was even the slightest possibility, he would never want to see Xiao ran again. He’d better die outside or never come back.

now that everything had been broken, he still came back.

very quickly.

His gaze landed on Xiao ran near the door of the hall. Xiao ran was standing there lazily, looking at the ceiling. Xiao ran did not even take him seriously.

“detestable!” Emperor Sheng Wen was very angry.

However, there was no change in his expression.

He said, ” I think everyone knows what happened in the barren County at the border some time ago. This is an unprecedented event for great Xia. We have expanded our territory and taken down a state of Zhou state. Those who should have been rewarded have already been rewarded. There is only one person who has not been rewarded. This person is the greatest hero in this war, Xiao ran!

upon hearing this.

Everyone was stunned. Xiao ran was back? Why didn’t I see him?

He looked at the front of the officials, but it was empty. He was nowhere to be seen. He looked suspicious and thought,”his people haven’t come, so how can he reward them?”

some clever people followed emperor sheng wen’s gaze and found him at the back of the crowd!

the sword master of the divine sword guard, lei yuantai, was speechless. even if you were not rewarded, your official position in great xia was not low. moreover, you had made so many contributions before you left the capital. why are you standing there?

he waved at him and said in a deep voice, ” “This way,”

xiao ran was speechless. he was already standing there, but he still didn’t notice it.

Facing everyone’s gaze, he tidied his clothes and made himself look more energetic. He walked over and stopped beside Lei Yuantai.

” where did you go after the barren county was settled? ” emperor sheng wen asked.

He wanted to make things difficult for Xiao ran and let him know who the real master of great Xia was.

even if his official position had already been decided, as long as he did not agree, he could not be rewarded.

” my brother’s life and death in that war were unknown. after settling the matter there, i went to zhou state and found him. ” Xiao ran said calmly.

“why didn’t you come back to report as soon as possible?”

“there’s something.”

for a moment, the atmosphere was in a stalemate. no one expected that emperor sheng wen would question him, and xiao ran would actually rebut him.

seeing that emperor sheng wen was about to be embarrassed, the grand tutor spoke at this time. ” your majesty, it’s time to reward him! ”

he took the initiative to give emperor sheng wen a way out.

“damn it!” emperor sheng wen was furious.

However, there was nothing he could do. Xiao ran was the eldest princess’s man, and he couldn’t touch him even if he wanted to.

it wasn’t that they hadn’t tried before, but the eldest princess “attitude was very unyielding and she had even taken out her true dragon token.

the hands hidden under the dragon robe were clenched tightly, but his face was still expressionless and shrewd.

“Yes.” emperor sheng wen nodded.

“xiao ran is sealed!”

Xiao ran stepped forward with his head held high and chest out.

” you have made great contributions in the battle of barren county. you will be rewarded and punished for your mistakes. i now confer you the title of marquis wushuang and the vice sword master of the divine sword guards. your position as the manager of the imperial prison will remain unchanged. you will temporarily be a rank two. ” emperor sheng wen said.

he didn’t mention the material reward. someone would naturally give it to him later.

finished speaking.

He did not want to stay any longer. He stood up from the throne and left with Xia Weiyang and the rest.
