Han Yun naturally didn't care about this. As an immortal cultivator, he naturally had his own ambitions. In his eyes, the emperor in front of him was just an ordinary man.
"Get flat."
The old emperor raised his head at this time. Han Yun took a closer look. He looked like he was only in his fifties, but he already had a lot of white hair on his head. He didn't know if he was a good emperor, but he could tell.
This was truly a conscientious emperor.
"Sure enough, heroes come from young. This little friend can kill a fourth-grade demon at such a young age. His future is limitless.
What's your name and what sect you belong to?"
"Qingyu, a common man, has no family or sect, and is just a wanderer."
"Oh? You have no sect, no sect, no teacher, and you are able to cultivate to the fourth level. You are really talented.
Well, this time you kill the big demon and save the Sixth Prince. I will give you the position of Commander of the Forbidden Army. You can also ask these two for advice and practice on weekdays. The palace will also give you training resources and high amounts of money.
What do you think if I give you a monthly salary and a mansion?"
Han Yun's mouth twitched when he heard this. I was kind enough to save your son, but you asked me to be your dog? How could your majesty repay kindness with hatred?
"Thank you for your majesty's grace. The common people are just scattered people in the rivers and lakes. Xianyun Yehe has long been accustomed to it and cannot bear the position of commander. Please take back your order."
Hearing this, the emperor was not surprised at all. He seemed to have expected this scene.
"Qingyu, there are completely different things between someone teaching you and someone not teaching you. Systematic teaching is far better than trying to figure it out on your own.
As the saying goes, if you have acquired literary and martial arts, you can be a member of the imperial family, and if you have the ability, you should do more for the country. You should think about it again."
"No need, Your Majesty. The common people only want freedom and nothing else. You don't need to reward the common people. Killing demons and demons is the duty of every Dachuan citizen. As for saving the Sixth Prince, I just did it casually. I'm sorry.
I didn't know he was a prince at the time, and I would have saved him if it had been anyone else."
Hearing this, the old emperor sighed, stroking his beard and said,
"Oh, that's well said. The consciousness is really high. If every citizen of Dachuan had such thoughts as you, we, Dachuan, wouldn't be afraid of the demon clan. We would have already crossed the Great Wall to destroy the demon clan.
However, if I don’t reward my merits, others will accuse me of being unfair. This is not what a king should do.
Let's do this. Since you don't want to take up the post, I will give you a thousand taels of gold, a false position in the palace, and an identity token. If you travel abroad and encounter trouble, you can use the token to go to the local government.
You can ask for help, or you can apply for troop transfer, it’s all for your convenience.”
Hearing this, Han Yun nodded. He had already rejected the emperor once. If he refused again and again, it would appear that he did not appreciate praise and looked down on the emperor's rewards.
As for the thousand taels of gold, it is only ten thousand taels of silver, which is not much.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, the common people."
"Okay, let the branch elder take you to receive the reward later."
After the old emperor finished speaking, he looked at the sixth prince again.
"Hao'er, I heard Elder Qu report the general story. I heard that the cause of the incident was because you had a dispute with Liu Shilang of the Ministry of War?"
Hao'er? The sixth prince's name is Wang Hao?
Hearing this, Wang Fugui said with a smile on his face,
"Yes, Father, today is the Luo Shen Festival, so I took my guards and two friends to go to the flower boat to drink and admire the moon. Unexpectedly..."
"snort!"
The old emperor slammed the table and snorted majestically, scaring Wang Fugui to the point where he knelt on the ground with a plop.
"Are you going to say next that you had an argument with Liu Shilang over drinking and then got into a fight?
Do you think I am really easy to fool? Then Liu Shilang happened to be colluding with the demon clan, and you, the sixth one, happened to meet him, and there happened to be a dispute?
Although you, the sixth one, like to spend your days and nights, you are not ignorant. No matter how stupid you are, you will never fight with a high official of the imperial court for no reason!"
When Han Yun heard this, he thought to himself, this person who can be the emperor really has no faults. His mind is really quick, and these six princes cannot be fooled.
Wang Fugui, who was kneeling on the ground, immediately said,
"Father, listen to what I have said. I did go to the flower boat to drink, but when Liu Shilang and others passed by the door of my box, my two senior friends happened to notice the evil spirit on Liu Shilang's companions.
Then he told his ministers about the matter.
As the Minister of War, Liu Shilang was in charge of mobilizing troops and horses. If he colluded with the demon clan, replaced the defenders on the Great Wall with his confidants, and then cooperated with the demon clan internally and externally, I am afraid that the Thousand Mile Embankment would collapse in an ant nest.
As a prince, I naturally have the responsibility to protect my country, but I was on the ship at that time. I was afraid that it would be too late to return to the capital to report to my father, so I decided privately to take the two friends and guards to arrest him.
Mr. Liu, when the time comes and everyone gets the stolen goods, it is inevitable that Mr. Liu will not admit it.
But who would have thought that there was a strong man lurking in that monster clan, and that was why things got to this point.
It’s all my fault that I made my own decision and asked my father to punish me.”
Han Yun listened to the conversation between their father and son and kept thinking in his heart.
He had heard clearly before that what the Sixth Prince said was that it took a lot of manpower and a secret investigation for half a month before he decided to take action today. This matter was carefully thought out and planned, not like him.
As I said, we just happened to meet.
Then there is only one possibility. The people used by the Sixth Prince in the investigation are not members of the royal family, but his own...power.
That's why I didn't dare to tell the emperor.
Just from the fact that he secretly cultivated power, it can be seen that the sixth prince has great ambitions.
Haha, what a loving father and filial son.
The emperor nodded and sighed,
"What are you guilty of? You have also contributed to this matter. If they really succeed in negotiating, just like you said, a thousand-mile dike will collapse in an ant nest.
I am a dignified minister of the Ministry of War and a third-grade official. I treat him well, but he actually cheated and colluded with the demon clan. Such sinners should be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts."
"Father, at that time, the minister knocked Liu Shilang unconscious. Later, the big demon appeared, the ship was broken, and everyone fell into the water. Liu Shilang was probably drowned too.
Of course, we do not rule out the possibility that his demon companions can rescue him, it depends on whether Liu Shilang's body can be recovered."
"Well, let's leave this matter to the Luohe navy."
The emperor nodded and suddenly asked,
"I heard that you fought with that big demon? Why didn't I know when you learned martial arts?"
Wang Fugui is quick-thinking and has already thought of countermeasures.
"Father, you also know that my son has been weak and sick since he was a child. When he grew up, he became addicted to alcohol and sex, and his body was exhausted. He could only rely on martial arts to strengthen his body.
The fifth-level realm of Erchen is almost achieved by heaping up pills. The fifth-level realm is empty and there is no fifth-level combat power. It is just a showpiece.
During the battle, Brother Qingyu even laughed at his son that he was scraping the monster."
