All the civil and military officials were already half-kneeling in salute, leaving Zu An standing alone, which stood out in the crowd.
Many people understand his current behavior. Now he is the strongest person in the court, and may even be the strongest person in the human race. Naturally, there is no reason to kneel down to a fool.
But that fool is the emperor now. In the past, the emperor was the strongest in the world, but now the leader is weak and the ministers are strong. Isn't it possible that the dynasty will change in the future?
Many ministers began to beat their heads, unsure of what Zu An meant. If he refused to kneel down, and this matter spread, and his disobedience was clearly exposed, it would inevitably lead to criticism from the world.
But it is unrealistic to ask such a powerful person to kneel down...
Many people have begun to secretly choose sides, wondering whether they will be loyal to the royal family in the future, or whether they should quickly express their loyalty to the regent.
Other upright ministers are full of worries. After this incident, the court, which has finally been stabilized, may be in turmoil again.
Bi Linglong was about to speak, but Empress Dowager Liu Ning said first, "The Ai family has something to announce. Zhi'er, you can successfully ascend to the throne, thanks to the support of the regent along the way. He has made great achievements, and now he is the same
It is also a wine offering for the college. It can be said that he is highly virtuous and respected. From now on, you will serve him as my father-in-law."
The so-called Zhongfu is the father's eldest brother, who can even take over the father's responsibilities to a certain extent.
Since Zu An became the new emperor Zhongfu, he naturally did not need to kneel down. On the contrary, the emperor still had to salute him.
"This is absolutely impossible!" Some staid ministers immediately objected, "The title of Father Zhong is very important. How can the emperor just recognize someone as Father Zhong?"
Bi Linglong also looked strange. In fact, she also disapproved of this move. Zhao Ruizhi really regarded him as his second-in-law, but she was a generation shorter out of thin air, and her good lover turned into a father?
At this time, officials from the Queen's line immediately came out to retort, "Why not? The Emperor is young now and needs a strong person to assist and guide him. The Regent used to be the Prince's teacher and was originally an elder. Now his cultivation is unparalleled. And
How can I not be my father-in-law?"
Thinking of the shocking battle of the Meng family a few days ago, the minister who retorted couldn't help but feel guilty, "But the regent is too...young."
Strictly speaking, the age of Zu An and the new emperor is not certain, so asking the new emperor to recognize him as his father-in-law is a bit ridiculous no matter how you look at it.
The ministers of the Liu family disagreed, "Looking at the world, since when has age been used to judge heroes? Naturally, those who have achieved great success in spiritual practice are the first. Don't you
If you can regard the Prince Regent as a young man and practice a path to climb the highest mountain, you can foresee that it will also be the longest one in the future."
Zu An's face heated up. These flatterers made him feel a little embarrassed.
"That's true, but..." Those ministers before were a bit worried. In the past, those with top cultivation levels were often older, so these problems would naturally not occur.
At this time, Liu Ning spoke, "As far as the Ai family knows, the young emperor from the Yao clan also respects him as his father-in-law."
This sentence was almost the final word, and some ministers who originally wanted to argue with each other suddenly shut their mouths.
Regardless of whether they like Zu An or hate him, they all have to admit that the human race now needs a top powerhouse like him to take charge.
But the other party also has a noble status with the demon clan. If he accidentally favors the demon clan, it will be really bad.
Zu An is now so powerful that the shackles of race have no meaning to him. He will welcome everyone wherever he goes.
Of course, he is from the human race, so he must have more affection for the human race, but the treatment cannot be worse than that of the demon race, otherwise it will be troublesome if he loses his heart and runs away.
Moreover, with the new Demon Emperor calling him Zhongfu, it would not be so difficult to accept Zhao Ruizhi calling him again.
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Liu Ning thought about settling the matter, "Smart, Linglong, come and pay homage to Father Zhong."
Zhao Ruizhi didn't have any ideas. He had already panicked in this situation. What's more, he had always been a little afraid of Zu An. When he heard what the former stern "mother" said, he said "oh" and instinctively followed it.
Bi Linglong didn't get up. How dare she call Zu An that way in front of so many people.
Seeing that she didn't get up, Zhao Ruizhi stood there for a while, not knowing whether to continue to visit Zu An or sit down.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Bi Linglong. Her face turned red and white, and finally she gritted her teeth and stood up, "Linglong pays homage to Father Zhong!"
Although she was reluctant, the atmosphere was set. If Zu An was not allowed to have the title of his father-in-law, he would have to pay homage to Zhao Ruizhi. With his temperament, he was determined not to do so. How could he let him do it because of me?
fall into that
Dilemma?
With her taking the lead, Zhao Ruizhi no longer had any scruples. He followed suit and bowed slightly to Zu An, "I have met Father Zhong."
Hearing Bi Linglong calling him like this, Zu An looked a little strange, but he couldn't say anything in front of so many people, so he hurriedly returned the greeting.
Seeing how the originally tense atmosphere ended like this, all the ministers present breathed a sigh of relief.
Next came various complicated rituals. After a busy day, everyone felt exhausted.
Zu An took the time to find Bi Linglong. Seeing her stern face, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "What's wrong, are you angry?"
"How dare I be angry with Father Zhong?" Although Bi Linglong said this, her pouted lips showed her mood at the moment.
"What did you just call me?"
"Father Zhong."
"Didn't hear clearly."
"Zhong..."
Bi Linglong finally reacted, glared at him, and then turned away angrily.
The anger value from Bi Linglong is +55+55+55...
It seemed that he was really angry. Zu An took out a jade slip from his arms and handed it to her, "You should keep this first."
"What is this?" Although she didn't want to pay attention to him, she felt that there was a faint brilliance flowing on the jade slip, and it seemed that there were various runes engraved on it, and Bi Linglong couldn't help but feel a little curious.
"Simple mobile phone." Zu An replied casually.
"What opportunity?" Bi Linglong looked confused.
Zu An coughed lightly, "Well, it's actually a simple version of the communication talisman. In the past, the popular communication tool in this world was the audio-visual mirror. However, every time the audio-visual mirror is turned on, it consumes a lot of yuan stones. It cannot be used except for military and national affairs, so
I researched this new tool, which is not that expensive and can be used for daily communication."
The weapon refining method in the "Bao Pu Zhen Jing" mentioned the transmission notes in the spiritual world, but there were still a lot of necessary materials missing. Zu An took them out and discussed them with Zhen Xuzi, and used some other materials that are available in this world.
Materials were substituted and a trial model was finally produced.
"Really?" Bi Linglong was surprised and happy. Of course she knew how much change this would bring.
Zu An didn't say anything and directly typed a line of words on the jade slip.
Bi Linglong felt the jade slip in her hand shining slightly, and she hurriedly picked it up
When I looked at it, I saw a portrait of Zu An suddenly appeared on the originally pure white jade slip, followed by the words "Call Dad."
"Go to hell!" Bi Linglong blushed immediately.
Zu An smiled and taught her, "You can write directly on the jade slip and it will be sent to me soon."
Bi Linglong tried it and couldn't help being surprised and delighted, "It's true!"
"Is Dad awesome?"
"Awesome...you took advantage of me again!"
"That's called a good husband."
"not called."
"It seems that a husband needs a proper husband."
"good husband……"
…
The two of them were obviously facing each other, but Bi Linglong didn't say a word. Instead, she blushed and happily interacted on the jade slip. Obviously, this thing made her feel particularly novel.
"How much does this communication talisman cost?" Bi Linglong asked the most critical question.
"It consumes about one heavenly elemental stone a day."
"It's still a bit expensive, but it's much better than the audio and video mirror. These big families in the capital can afford it."
"It's not that simple. It costs a lot of money to make this communication talisman. It's impossible to promote it on a large scale. It's just for you to use first."
"That's pretty much it," Bi Linglong suddenly quickly wrote on the jade slip, "Have you ever given jade slips to other women?"
Zu An "..."
"Forget it, you must give it to Miss Chu. You have so many sisters, so I'm not asking for trouble by asking this." Bi Linglong tapped her fingers, not knowing how she could write so fast.
Hearing her sour words, Zu An could only reply, "You are the first to have this."
Bi Linglong then turned from worry to joy, "From now on, you will chat with me and say good night to me every night before going to bed."
Zu An "..."
He suddenly felt that by inventing this thing, he had shot himself in the foot.
He hurriedly added, "After all, this has just been researched, and there are still many shortcomings. The biggest problem now is the transmission distance. It can transmit messages normally within a hundred miles, but when it is a hundred miles away, the message is often not received, or the message is received.
There will also be confusion.”
"You didn't do it on purpose, right?" Bi Linglong stared at him suspiciously.
