Everyone held their breaths and listened, waiting for Zhao Yi to finish, Xie Heng was definitely dead.

However, the youth stood proudly in the middle of the hall, unmoving like a mountain.

Zhao Yi said: "Remember your great achievements! the commander of a fifth-grade Infantry Army. "

The officials were all shocked. More than ten of them stepped forward and bowed. "Your majesty!" 'Don't! Your Majesty, this person is violent … '

Old Emperor sat on the Dragon Throne looking down on everyone, his expression cold.

"Your majesty!"

"If this person is allowed to live, it will be a disaster for the imperial government! My Great Yan Dynasty is in danger! "

"Please retract your order, Your Majesty!"

In a short moment, more than half of the officials were kneeling on the ground. A youth dressed in blood-red stood in front of the group, looking even more arrogant than before.

Just as Prince Rui and Crown Prince Zhao Feng were about to step out, Old Emperor gave a cold laugh and said solemnly: "Third-ranked Superior General! Who else has a different meaning? "

When the Son of Heaven became angry, all the ministers bowed their heads in unison. The Conference Hall was completely silent.

No one expected that the Old Emperor would protect Xie Heng at this time. Looking at the situation now, he probably had more to say, this Xie fellow instantly went from a prisoner to a person below him, above tens of thousands of people.

Xie Heng's expression was indifferent.

Zhao Yi said: "Since ancient times, heroes have produced youths. The Fellow Xie s of the first battle in Changning were rewarded.

The officials were speechless. Since the establishment of the Great Yan, other than the founding of the Empire, there had never been such a precedent.

But Old Emperor was clearly determined, and no one could persuade him otherwise.

In the silence, Xie Heng bowed and said, "Thank you, your majesty."

"Fellow Xie, no need to be so courteous."

Zhao Yi personally went down the white jade steps and helped Xie Heng up, "We only wish for the citizens of the world to be as loyal to our nation as the Fellow Xie, regardless of personal gains and losses, and not blindly give in and continue onward!"

When Old Emperor said his last sentence, his tone suddenly grew heavier. Crown Prince Zhao Feng was the first to lead the way and kneel down, "This son will remember royal father's teachings!"

Zhao Zhi followed closely behind, the officials behind looked embarrassed, they all bowed their heads and said: "This subject will remember!"

In the entire Conference Hall, only Old Emperor and Xie Heng stood facing each other.

"Fellow Xie has suffered a lot in the past few days. They will be given a mansion with twenty maids and attendant s. Let's go back and rest for a few days first." Zhao Yi's tone carried a sense of consolation.

Xie Heng's face did not reveal any expression, as he indifferently replied, "Yes."

Old Emperor turned and climbed the white jade steps as he waved his hand tiredly.

Wang Liang immediately understood and walked out. With a sweep of his whisk, he said, "If there's anything, start it, if there's nothing else, we can leave the imperial court!"

The answer was a deathly silence.

The officials were still in a kneeling position, each of them harboring their own thoughts. They did not dare to provoke the other.

Only Xie Heng turned and left.

When the servant opened the Conference Hall door, it was already bright outside. As they passed through the clouds, sunlight and the color of blood on the ground, they shone brightly, enveloping the youth who had just left with a body covered in blood.

Zhao Yi returned to the imperial harem, and the man who spoke for Xie Heng just now also stood up and patted the dust off his sleeves, "Everyone, if you want to kneel, go ahead and kneel, I, Zhang, will be leaving first."

Everyone looked at each other, a few more officials who had never stood in a line from beginning to end stood up and left the Conference Hall, then the princes and Prince Rui parties slowly left.

On the way out of the palace.

Zhao Zhi's handsome face darkened completely, "What exactly happened? royal father clearly already had the intention to kill Xie Heng, why would he suddenly change his mind? "

A few ministers who were following Zhao Zhi out of the palace looked at each other, and one of them said, "Let's go earlier today. Eldest Princess suddenly entered the palace to meet the emperor."

Zhao Zhi frowned, "What is she doing in the palace?"

The minister who opened his mouth paused for a moment, then said in a low voice: "Eldest Princess said he is willing to reconcile with our family, so we can help the emperor share his worries and solve this problem …"

A younger official beside him continued, "Why did this Eldest Princess suddenly enter the palace to speak these words to the Emperor? Even if it's a marriage alliance, we wouldn't let a princess who has been married three times go there! "

Zhao Zhi was silent for a long time, and his expression became even uglier: "Good for you, Zhao Jingyi! This King has really underestimated her! "

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Zhi had already quickened his pace, wanting to find Zhao Jingyi to settle the score.

The old minister hurriedly caught up to him. "Your Highness, please calm your anger!" Eldest Princess has always been the apple of the eye of the emperor, after today's matter has been concluded, Your Highness cannot clash with the Eldest Princess again! "

Zhao Zhi ignored him and left with a flick of his sleeves.

"Your Highness!"

The old official was unable to call back the furious Zhao Zhi, and could not help but let out a heavy sigh.

The young official stood by his side and asked in surprise: "Master Wang, what is Eldest Princess trying to do?"

Old Emperor had many sons and daughters, and only Eldest Princess had the worst reputation in Dijing, but he was still able to obtain the favor of Old Emperor. Just by this point, his status was much higher than other princesses.

Elder Wang sighed, "It's all old times …" For Eldest Princess to help Xie Heng, it seems that this Xie Family is not simple! "

"It is not simple. Ever since Great Yan began, have you seen a palace gate being surrounded by commoners so tightly that not even a drop of water can pass through? "

The two of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Elder Wang said, "Let's go and have a look."

Outside the palace, thousands of commoners knelt in the snow, while the attendants announced loudly, "Regarding the matter of Xie Heng, His Majesty has already made a decision. Righteous Bestowal third grade Superior General s are equivalent to the Nine Saints! "

Everyone's faces revealed joy as they shouted repeatedly.

"Your majesty the Emperor!"

The servant who passed down the order immediately followed up with a few words, praising Xie Heng's brilliance and martial prowess.

Everyone supported each other as they stood up. The servants immediately extended their hands to support Xie Xuan, "The Xie Family is great, the moment General Xie enters the imperial court he would be at the third rank. This is the first time the Great Yan Dynasty has shown favor!"

Xie Xuan was expressionless, "I thank the Lord for his grace."

The servant laughed awkwardly: Does this Xie Family not know what is called the mighty Long En?

It had a long face that said "you owe me three million silver"!

A blood-clothed Xie Heng walked out of the palace gate. Wherever he went, all the imperial guards would salute in unison, "Greetings General Xie."

The youth's expression did not change as he walked straight up to the crowd, clasped his hands, and nodded. "Thank you for your kindness today, all of it will be etched in my heart."

"General Xie is too serious!"

"We only hope that good people can live long!"

"That's right, General Xie, we will still need to rely on you for our Great Yan in the future!"

The voices of the crowd overlapped, chaotic and noisy. Some people cried out of joy, and a seven or eight-year-old girl squeezed through the crowd and passed a steaming hot dish to him. "General …" The osmanthus cake is very delicious, I'll give it to you! "

"Thank you."

Xie Heng only took the osmanthus cake handed to him by the little girl, his eyebrows proudly flying high, "May my Great Yan flourish for all eternity, last for all eternity!"

At this moment, because of this youngster in front of their eyes, everyone seemed to have seen the hope that the Great Yan which had weakened for so many years would rise again. They all spoke at the same time, "May my Great Yan flourish for all eternity, and last for all eternity!"

They no longer needed to be bullied by their neighbors, no longer had to lower their heads to act like human beings, and they could be proud because they were citizens of Great Yan.

The snowstorm had just started, but everyone's blood was boiling hot.

Xie Heng looked around, but in the end, he did not see any signs of Wen Jiu.

By his side, Xie Xuan glanced at the nearby eaves, and said in a low voice: "Over there."

Xie Heng looked up, and his eyebrows slightly jumped...
