Emperor Dayu sat high on the dragon throne, showing great majesty.
His Highness only had a few important ministers such as Gu Qingyuan and Han Changjun, and the rest were dismissed.
"Liu Guoshi, Qin Mo, Gu Liuyun, you have made great achievements this time. If you want any reward, it doesn't matter. I will try my best to satisfy you."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Gu Qingyuan, Han Changjun and others changed.
Emperor Yu's rewards are often quite subjective. You get what you get, and there is no room for bargaining.
But this time, he actually gave up the initiative.
This situation is very rare.
This is enough to show how close this matter is to the Sacred Heart.
Liu Ruofeng was also surprised. As a veteran of two dynasties, he knew the character of Emperor Dayu very well.
Therefore, when Emperor Yu said these words, it was difficult for him to remain calm.
"Liu Guoshi, you come first."
Emperor Dayu's eyes fell on Liu Ruofeng.
"Being able to kill Wu Jingshan with my own hands has already fulfilled my wish. I have nothing more to ask for."
Liu Ruofeng cupped his fists and bowed.
He calls himself "an old man" rather than an "old minister", which shows that his heart is no longer in the court.
Before taking his life, Liu Ruofeng cherished the title of "National Scholar" very much.
After taking his life, all these fame and fortune have become nothing.
Even in the world of cultivation, Liu Ruofeng can still occupy a place.
Compared with the secular world, the world of cultivation is naturally tens of millions of times vaster and tens of millions of times more exciting. Which monk doesn’t yearn for it?
Now that he has opened the door of heaven and has the hope of enlightenment, why should he linger on the world of mortals?
The things that Emperor Yu could reward were nothing more than vulgar things.
"Liu Guoshi, don't you think about it again?"
Emperor Yu did not give up.
He could vaguely sense what the other party meant.
"Thank you for your majesty's love. I have decided to continue pursuing higher archery skills and no longer miss the human world."
Liu Ruofeng pays his respects again.
Emperor Yu sighed, nodded and said, "Okay, I respect your choice."
Liu Ruofeng's words meant that he would no longer interfere in the royal family's affairs.
For Emperor Yu, it was the loss of a life-threatening arrow god.
Everyone has their own ambitions, and it's not easy for him to force them to stay.
Furthermore, he couldn’t keep a life-threatening person like Liu Ruofeng even if he wanted to!
"Gu Liuyun, what about you? What reward do you want?"
Emperor Yu turned his eyes to Gu Liuyun.
"Your Majesty, I do have a wish."
Gu Liuyun was not pretentious at all. He didn't want to miss this great opportunity.
After all, he has not yet reached the level of Liu Ruofeng, and he can already be indifferent to fame and fortune and forget about the world.
"What is your wish? Let me tell you."
Emperor Dayu looked quite curious.
"My mother's body is still in Yanjing, and Wei Chen wants to take her home."
Gu Liuyun spoke frankly.
These words not only surprised Emperor Yu, but also made Gu Qingyuan burst into tears.
Isn't this the wish of the entire Gu family?
"In the past, your request would have been a bit difficult to handle, but now that we have bargaining chips, we can talk about it."
Emperor Dayu groaned.
If the Wu family wants to hand over the corpses, the only possibility is probably to exchange them with each other.
The bodies of Wu Jingshan and others are still hanging on the city wall.
The Wu family must also want to exchange those people.
"I'm sure about this!"
Emperor Dayu nodded.
"Thank you Lord for your grace!"
Gu Liuyun and Gu Qingyuan quickly knelt down and thanked them.
Next, it was Qin Mo's turn.
Everyone is also very curious, what kind of request will Qin Mo make?
After all, this is a disciple of the Immortal Sect, an expert outside the world.
But what Qin Mo said next was shocking.
"I want the qualification to become a prince!"
Qin Mo's words were astonishing.
"Female prince?"
Emperor Dayu was stunned.
It’s not that the conditions are so harsh, but it feels too secular and too simple.
Would a disciple of the Immortal Sect still care about fame and fortune in this world?
"Your Majesty, don't get me wrong. You are not conferring a title on me, but on my father."
Qin Mo immediately explained.
"I see, I understand."
Emperor Yu suddenly realized.
Although Qin Mo is from Fulong Sect, he doesn't care about fame and fortune.
But his father is still in the secular world. If he can become a prince, he will be worry-free for the rest of his life.
Qin Mo's idea is very simple, he just wants to give the Qin family a higher status.
Cangyuan City is too small and the Qin family is too weak. In this world where fish and dragons are mixed, there is not much power to protect themselves.
Qin Mo has lived in Fulong Sect for a long time, so how can he take care of the Qin family all the time?
But if Qin Mingyuan can be granted the title of lord and the Qin family can become the home of lords, it will be completely different.
In the Kingdom of Dayu, princely families were allowed to have soldiers and horses.
Just like the Wu family in Yanjing, it is the number one vassal family in the southern region, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.
Of course, the princes are also divided into three, six or nine levels.
The Wu family is a first-class prince, which is the only example in this dynasty.
Qin Mo's request does not need to be in line with that of the Wu family, as long as he has the aura of a prince to protect himself.
Emperor Yu understood his request and readily agreed.
"It's not difficult to grant you the title of vassal in the Qin family."
Emperor Dayu smiled faintly.
Immediately, he became a little more serious and said with a serious face: "Not only can I make the Qin family a noble family, but I will also vigorously cultivate the Qin family. I may not be able to become a first-class prince in the future."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was shocked.
Especially Gu Qingyuan and Han Changjun, there is simply an unreal feeling.
How terrifying is it for a first-class noble family?
One Wu family is difficult enough, but if there is one more, wouldn't it be even more of a headache?
However, the two of them soon came to their senses.
Emperor Yu's willingness to cultivate the Qin family was probably a means of checks and balances.
The Qin family is located in Yunzhou, right in the middle of Yanjing and Wangcheng.
If the Qin family develops, it can put some pressure on the Wu family.
Emperor Yu cultivated the Gu family for the same purpose.
However, the Gu family is far away in the royal city, thousands of miles away from Yanjing, and cannot threaten the Wu family at all.
On the contrary, the Qin family is a good choice.
Qin Mo killed Wu Lingyi and Wu Lingxiu, and captured Wu Lingyue alive, bringing unprecedented shame to the Wu family.
The two sides have already had a deep hatred, and it is impossible to resolve it.
Under this premise, Emperor Yu was naturally willing to support the Qin family.
After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Qin Mo's meaning is also very direct. Since he has offended the Wu family, he will offend him to the end.
Now that the Qin family has received support from the royal family and has become a vassal family, it at least has the confidence to save its life.
Otherwise, when Qin Mo returns to Fulong Sect and no longer cares about the Qin family, the Wu family can destroy the Qin family in minutes.
"Since the previous dynasty, there has been no precedent of directly conferring a first-grade vassal title. I will first grant your father a second-grade vassal title. When he has meritorious service in the future, I will grant him a first-grade vassal title."
After saying this, Emperor Yu immediately drafted an edict.
"Is this...a second-grade prince?"
Everyone present was petrified.
Since the previous dynasty, there have been quite a few examples of people being granted the title of Marquis, but the number of people who were granted second-level titles from the very beginning can be counted on one hand.
