Chapter seven hundred and eighty seventh painting cake king
"Sir, please come here!"
A guard led me into the hall, but he pointed to the most important seat near the door. On the table was a roast chicken, half a lamb leg, and a pot of fine wine and jade cup.
That's it?
I couldn't help laughing, would I ask me to come and raise my head? I wouldn't have come if I had known.
"you……"
The closest position to the dragon throne, Wang Shuang suddenly grew up beside Guan Yang: "How can he be the July Liuhuo..."
"Wang Shuang."
Guan Yang frowned: "Sit down and don't be rude in front of His Majesty!"
"yes!"
Wang Shuang bowed to the emperor and sat down again.
“…”
On the dragon throne, Xuanyuan Ying was wearing a dragon robe, looking luxurious and graceful. He slowly put down his jade cup, frowned slightly, and said, "Who arranged the seat rankings of today's banquet?"
Below the king's stairs, the wind at the forefront said: "The chief clerk Wang Yi."
"snort!"
Xuanyuan Ying gently shook his sleeves and said with no anger, "Where is the chief clerk Wang Yi?"
Suddenly, among the ministers in the third row, a civil servant stood up with horror and knelt down tremblingly: "I'm here!"
"Why are the seats of the July Fire so far behind?" Xuanyuan Ying asked.
"this……"
Wang Yi looked nervous and said, "I only rank according to the official rank. Although July Liuhuo is the deputy commander of the Yinshuang Legion, his rank is just a general in the east. In this hall, with his rank, he is actually... he is not qualified to participate at all. I can only rank it in the last seat. Please calm your anger!"
"You are presumptuous!"
Xuanyuan Ying's eyes shivered and said, "This celebration banquet is to celebrate the victory of the Northern Wilderness Province. Everything is led by military merits. July Liuhuo led the Yinshuang Legion to make great achievements. Is his ranking at the celebration banquet not as high as you ministers?"
In an instant, the faces of many civil officials and military generals became extremely frightened.
"Come."
Xuanyuan Ying said: "Add a seat beside Nangong Chi, the commander of the Silver Screen Legion, and put a pot of palace wine for the July Fire."
"Yes, your Majesty!"
...
So, my seat moved forward and came to a middle-aged general. The man was named Nangong Chi, the commander of the Silver Screen Legion, the first legion of the Lingnan Province, and was also considered a prince in the Xuanyuan Empire. Just after I sat down, Nangong Chi actually gave a meaningful smile and sneered: "The unknown little man is on par with me."
"Nangong Chi, what did you say?" Wang Shuang, who was standing beside him, immediately fought back: "Who did you think is the nameless man?"
Nangong Chi smiled faintly and said, "Wang Shuang, the battle in the Northern Wilderness Province has increased your courage a lot. You used to have no courage to talk to me like this."
"snort!"
At this moment, Xuanyuan Ying raised his glass and said, "The empire united and defeated the invasion conspiracy of the Bloody Royal Court in one fell swoop. Today, we, the king and his ministers, will not return without getting drunk!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all in one go.
I also took a sip as expected, and felt a mellow and sweet feeling that it was so moist. This palace wine seemed to be like this. On the side, a beautiful palace maid immediately filled me with wine again, and just knelt down and served her. There was such a palace maid in every seat, but the one next to me seemed the best, and the eyebrows and eyes looked a little like Ruyi.
It was actually a verbal commendation.
I looked speechless, but the benefits were basically taken away by Wang Shuang. With this battle alone, he was actually granted a marquis. Who would have thought that a reckless man could be granted a marquis and could be on par with a generation of famous generals like the Eight Desolate Marquis Lin Huang?
"His Majesty……"
Nangong Chi suddenly stood up and said, "The Yinshuang Legion has won first-class military achievements, but the last general will not accept it."
"oh?"
Xuanyuan Ying looked up and said, "Nangong Aiqing, who do you think is more appropriate to obtain first-class military achievements?"
Nangong Chi clasped his fists: "Yan Shen Legion! His Majesty's Yan Shen Legion resisted more than a dozen main legions of the Blood-colored King Court this time. He fought to the death and refused to retreat. He even made many attacks to seize the opponent's position. Compared with the achievements of the Yan Shen Legion, the Yinshuang Legion's military achievements seemed a little immature."
"I know, someone will definitely be dissatisfied."
Xuanyuan Ying stood up, his face full of the confidence of a king, and said lightly: "The Flame God Legion is the legion I personally control. It has the best armor, weapons, equipment, and even half of the sword blades are swords engraved with inscriptions. With such conditions, it is expected that the Flame God Legion will achieve such a battle result!"
As he said that, he looked down on his ministers and said, "Look at the Silver Shuang Legion, what do they have? In the Far East Province, the Silver Shuang Legion can only rank under the Flaming Legion. The only 150,000 soldiers and horses and the iron shields they used were stabbed by the enemy's sword blades. The archer's inscription arrows were exhausted in an instant, and all the arrows were shot out in the end. But with this 150,000 army of 150,000 inexplicable troops, the Silver Shuang Legion defeated the Flamingo Army, which was known as 600,000 troops in one fell swoop. Have you ever seen such a record in the war history of the entire empire for a hundred years? Besides, the Fire Kirin Corps, the Bloody King Court tried to raid the rear of our army, and was first exposed by July Liuhuo, and arranged an ambush battle. Using the terrain advantage to kill the 350,000 elite troops in the Fire Kirin Corps and reduced 150,000 elite troops. Have you ever seen such great military achievements?!"
As he said that, Xuanyuan Ying shook his sleeves and said, "It's just that when July Liuhuo first entered the Imperial Legion, he has little experience and is too young. Otherwise, I will definitely be named a marquis and even a king for him this time!"
Just when he said the word "King King", everyone was shocked. Even the white-clothed young master who had always been calm in his work also said "oh" and expressed some suspicion.
I felt a burst of excitement and excitement in my heart at first, and then calmed down for a moment, and began to secretly praise Xuanyuan Ying's skill in controlling people. One sentence was equivalent to drawing a cake for me. The deep meaning of this sentence was obviously "Young man, do it well, help the empire win more battles, I will not be the problem of being a king in the future." But this is a cake after all, let alone being a king, even a marquis is a luxury.
But if I were not a modern person and had modern values to support me, I am afraid that Xuanyuan Ying's words would be enough to make me "loyal" to him for the rest of my life.
...
"Your Majesty is wise!"
I don't know who shouted.
Then everyone knelt down on the ground, shouting wisely, and many old ministers even bowed to me from afar to congratulate me, but I was embarrassed. Didn’t I just draw a cake for me? Is there anything to congratulate me?
