Nangong Aotian and Dongfang Xiaotian finally arrived at the imperial capital after walking for more than twenty days.
"Aotian, why don't you come to my residence in the imperial capital first?" Dongfang Xiaotian thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to the palace to see the emperor right now. It's not the time for you to go to Kalai Academy."
"That's fine," Nangong Aotian thought for a while and said, "The emperor's decree has already been issued, telling us to enter the palace as soon as we arrive in the imperial capital."
"Well, you will stay with the commander of the Eastern Army first, and I will go to the palace to see my father." Liu Dingguo said.
"Well, that's fine," Dongfang Xiaotian looked at the time and said, "It's already past seven o'clock in the evening, and it's not suitable for us to enter the palace now."
After Liu Dingguo left, no one from Carle College returned to the college. They all went to Dongfang Xiaotian's Duke's Palace to wait for the emperor's summons tomorrow. Dongfang Xiaotian's Duke's Palace was very grand. Nangong Aotian didn't expect that although Dongfang Xiaotian
I haven't lived in the imperial capital for a few days, but the mansion here is still so grand.
"Haha, in fact, my residence was given by His Majesty the Emperor." Dongfang Xiaotian walked into his residence and said, "The residences of the army commanders of our empire and several important ministers in the court, as well as the few dukes in the empire, are all here."
It was given by His Majesty the Emperor, so the scale and architectural style are quite good. After all, it is related to the dignity of the royal family."
"Didn't I hear that Aotian will also be given a mansion?" Li Changfeng said, "I wonder if it is so grand?"
"It must be similar to here. His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire will not reward you with a mansion easily." Dongfang Xiaotian said with a smile, "But at your age, this is the first time since the founding of the Chinese Empire that your Majesty has rewarded you with a mansion. Haha."
After taking Nangong Aotian and the others around to visit his mansion, Dongfang Xiaotian smiled and said, "How about it? This mansion is not small, right?"
"It's no problem for three to four hundred people to live here." Nangong Aotian said with a smile, "It's really nice, and the architectural style is also quite luxurious."
"It's just that few people come to live in my mansion." Dongfang Xiaotian said with a smile, "Only when there is something important in the court during the year, I will stay here for a while when I return to the imperial capital, but now
This residence is much more convenient, otherwise I would have to worry about returning to the imperial capital."
"What about the servants you hired?" Nangong Aotian said.
"His Majesty the Emperor allows a mansion to have three hundred servants. Regardless of whether you can live in it or not, you will have three hundred servants for your use." Dongfang Xiaotian said, "We in the Chinese Empire have always treated the important ministers of the empire.
Such."
"Oh, that's pretty much it." Nangong Aotian said with a smile, "Otherwise, this would be a big expense."
After walking for several days, everyone was very tired. Dongfang Xiaotian settled down Nangong Aotian and the others and went to rest himself.
Nangong Aotian's military career this year has finally come to an end. However, the harvest has exceeded Nangong Aotian's imagination. At this time, he not only has his own army, but also has a good status. And Nangong Aotian's strength has also
Nangong Aotian has made great progress through constant fighting. Now Nangong Aotian is at the third level of Wu Ling. He is about the same strength as Sun Yifeng and Li Changfeng. The level of Wu Ling has been increased by two levels a year, which is already a very shocking speed.
.
Now the strength of Xiao Jianqiu and Baili Changfeng has also broken through to the realm of martial arts, but it didn't take long for them to break through. However, considering that they are only twenty-two years old, such a speed of cultivation in Kalai Academy
It is definitely second to none. It’s just that Sima Changfeng’s strength has not reached the realm of martial arts. However, he has made great progress over the comparison and has now reached the seventh level of martial arts. After all, he is still only nineteen years old. At such an age, there is such a
The strength is also pretty good.
The next morning, a decree was sent from the palace. Nangong Aotian and the others followed Dongfang Xiaotian into the palace to meet him during the morning court.
When Nangong Aotian arrived at the palace hall, the guards had already arranged for them to sit down in a place. Of course, Dongfang Xiaotian had his own place and didn't need to arrange it again.
At this time, both sides of this magnificent hall were already filled with civil and military ministers from the Chinese Empire. They also wanted to see what Nangong Aotian looked like. They knew that another new upstart was about to appear in the Chinese Empire. He was also a military man.
Characters. At this time, they already knew the results of Nangong Aotian's battle on the southern front.
"Today morning, I have something important to announce to you. Of course, you may have already guessed some of it." Liu Bang saw that everyone had arrived, and then he said, "Today, our generals who fought in the south finally came back. Not only did they solve the problem,
The troubles on our southern border have also expanded the territory of our Chinese Empire by one-sixth. This cannot be said to be a remarkable achievement. What is even more rare is that they have also obtained a large army to defend the borders of our empire. In
We established a legion without any support from my empire. And its strength is already comparable to that of the Phoenix Legion. This is really a blessing for my empire."
"The emperor is wise." All the ministers sang.
"Since they are all back today, of course I will reward them based on their merits." Liu Bang glanced at Nangong Aotian and the others with satisfaction and then said, "Nangong Aotian comes forward to accept the award."
"Yes." Nangong Aotian quickly stood up, walked to the front, saluted Liu Bang, and then quietly waited for Liu Bang's reward.
"Nangong Aotian, because he repeatedly used cunning tactics to defeat the enemy, not only destroyed the 500,000-strong army that invaded our border, including the Lane Empire, but also conquered more than a dozen surrounding small principalities. At the same time, he formed a Holy Dragon Army.
You have come up with a great idea that can make the principality surrender, and you have made great contributions. Now I will make you a first-class marquis, and make you the commander of the Holy Dragon Army and the marshal of the southern expedition, and give you a marshal's mansion." Liu Bang said loudly, "At the same time.
Reward five million purple gold coins as well as five advanced earth-level fighting skills and five advanced earth-level exercises plus ten eighth-level intermediate swords."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Nangong Aotian was overjoyed. These fighting skills and exercises were of great use to the rise of the Nangong family.
"Sun Yifeng, Li Changfeng, Baili Changfeng, Sima Changfeng and Xiao Jianqiu came up to listen to the order," Liu Bang said again.
"Yes." Several people had already walked up when Nangong Aotian stepped aside.
"You fought together with Nangong Aotian and made great contributions. You are Nangong Aotian's most important assistants. Now you are named the Holy Dragon General to help Nangong Aotian take charge of the Holy Dragon Army." Liu Bang said, "In addition, I will give you an eighth-grade junior
There are two spiritual weapons and swords, and one million purple gold coins each."
"Yes." The four people thanked them quickly.
"Dongfang Xiaotian." Liu Bang called again.
"Here." Dongfang Xiaotian quickly walked to the front.
"You hired people well this time. You were able to make wise decisions at critical moments, and you played an important role in guarding the southern border. If you hadn't guarded the southern border, the consequences would have been disastrous once the Lane Empire advanced. Therefore, I named you the Grand Marshal of Zhennan, and Tong Dingguo
General. Promoted to the title of first-class duke." Liu Bang announced, "At the same time, he will be rewarded with five million purple gold coins."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Dongfang Xiaotian saluted quickly.
"Your two sons and the other generals have made great contributions. At the same time, the generals of the Holy Dragon Legion have also made great contributions. I have another reward. I will send someone directly to it." Liu Bang said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Nangong Aotian and the others stood up again and saluted.
"Now you are all great contributors to the empire. Nangong Aotian is already the commander of a legion, so your positions in the court will be rearranged." Liu Bang said, "But given that they are still young and are all in Kalai
He is studying in the academy. He is also a military general. He does not have to come to court unless he is called."
"Yes." Several people bowed again.
"How is the construction progress of Holy Dragon City now?" Liu Bang looked at Dongfang Xiaotian and asked.
"The commander of the Nangong Army recruited 200,000 laborers and many craftsmen from the south, and the 500,000-strong army also arranged five hours a day to invest in the construction of Holy Dragon City. Therefore, the construction speed of Holy Dragon City is quite fast" Dongfang Xiaotian
said.
"Okay, we must hurry up on this matter. Holy Dragon City is not only a newly built big city in our empire. It is also the cornerstone of the southern part of the country and the link between the principality and our empire. It will take less than a hundred years for the people of the principality to be fully utilized.
It will be completely integrated into my Chinese empire." Liu Bang said.
"I have sent people to keep an eye on it and speed up the progress." Dongfang Xiaotian said.
"That's good." Liu Bang said with a smile.
"Liu Dingguo." Liu Bang called.
"This time you went to battle with them and killed the enemy. Your contribution is also not small. I will make you a prince and call you the King of Zhennan." Liu Bang said
"Thank you, Father," Liu Dingguo quickly walked to the front and saluted, feeling really excited in his heart.
The eldest prince and the second prince are both princes now. But Liu Dingguo is not. Although prince is just a title, once he has the title of prince, the impact will be different.
"In the future, you can also take part in all the affairs of the imperial court. At the same time, you can first learn some things about the household department from the left prime minister." Liu Bang thought for a while and said, "I will give you some things after you have some experience in doing things.
Do."
"Yes." Liu Dingguo returned the favor again.
With Liu Bang's words, Liu Dingguo will also be able to participate in some important matters in the court in the future. This will undoubtedly allow Liu Dingguo to start learning how to govern the government.
"Since you are still studying now, you don't have to go to court if you have nothing to do in the future. At the same time, you can freely enter and exit Kalai College." Liu Bang said again, "The Prince's Mansion five kilometers outside the palace will be the Zhennan Prince's Mansion in the future. You can live there in the future."
There."
"Yes." Liu Dingguo saluted again.
The ministers in the DPRK began to whisper when they heard Liu Bang's decision. They were all old officials. Liu Bang's decision undoubtedly showed that his third son was about to enter the chaotic DPRK situation.
