On this day of great joy, these emotions were even more prominent. The proud people drink wine like a wedding wine, and the disappointed people pour bitter wine one after another.
The calligraphy champion who was being surrounded by everyone heard the announcement and hurriedly turned around in surprise.
Gu Zyuan was about to squeeze through the crowd to find Zong Luo when there was another announcement from afar.
“His Majesty arrives——”
At this moment, everyone couldn’t move, and they all stood still on the spot, bowing their hands in salute: “The common people see His Majesty.”
The grand imperial procession came from the palace.
Emperor Yuan walked in the front, still with his hands behind his back, his expression was majestic and indifferent, and the surrounding pressure was oppressive.
“All the ministers in the future are people who will work for Zhen’s Great Yuan, so don’t be too polite.”
Since the previous emperor, Great Yuan had shown the ambition to unify the world, and the treatment of foreign talents was particularly good. Unlike the monarchs of other countries, they all looked at people with their noses, and their words were like they didn’t care if they came or not.
Seeing Emperor Yuan coming, the other princes also stood up honestly.
Then, it was a long social speech.
According to the rules, only the Six Arts champions have the honor of being personally appointed by Emperor Yuan, and the top three in each art have already been assigned different grades of official positions, and they could come out and show their faces.
When it was Gu Ziyuan’s turn, facing this emperor with a full aura, he was stuttering and could hardly speak. It was the secretary next to him who couldn’t stand it and repeated the question in a low voice, and he finally came back to his senses.
“Young Master Gu, His Majesty is asking if you have a place in mind?”
Gu Zi Yuan immediately said: “Yes, Your Majesty! I, I want to go to Yuchun Palace!”
As soon as the words fell, the whole scene was silent.
Gu Zi Yuan, who had reacted, wished he could slap himself.
What he really wanted to say was another one, a position that he had spent several days investigating and that could be closer to Brother Luo. But because he was too nervous, as soon as he spoke, it became Yuchun Palace.
Gu Zi Yuan was just embarrassed that he had said the wrong thing, while the other princes were at a loss for words.
Since Yuchun Palace was the palace of the crown princes of the Great Yuan throughout the ages, when it was used as a destination, it naturally referred to the meaning of “the power of the Crown Prince of Great Yuan and his cabinet”.
As everyone knew, although the Third Prince had moved into the Yuchun Palace, Yuchun Palace was still a masterless palace. This calligraphy champion said so, it was aimed at the future crown prince. The crown prince was destined to ascend the throne in the future, which was equivalent to reserving a position in the old foundation of the next emperor, which was extremely opportunistic.
There is no conclusion about the crown prince now!
Who didn’t know that His Majesty hates such sneaky and slippery people the most.
The inner servants present were also trembling, fearing that Emperor Yuan would be angry at the words of this calligraphy champion.
However, unexpectedly, Emperor Yuan didn’t say anything, but turned sideways.
Yuan Jia immediately understood, clenched his fist and put it to his lips, coughed lightly. “Third Highness.”
Hearing the sound, Zong Luo reacted and said in a low voice. “Replying to Father Emperor, this person is a good friend this son met in Confucianism before. He may be a little nervous today, this son hopes Father Emperor will forgive him.”
It was heard earlier that the Third Prince had fallen into the Bo Country after the battle at Hangu Pass, was saved by the Confucianists, and later followed the Confucian team into the Imperial City. Now, regardless of whether his memory had recovered or not, it was normal to speak well of his old friend.
The other students from theHundreds of Schools of Thought were extremely envious in their hearts, only hating that they didn’t recognize the importance of the situation earlier and didn’t take the initiative to talk and flatter more. Now that the other party had regained his identity as a prince, it was difficult for them to get close to him, as they were worlds apart.
After listening, Emperor Yuan nodded indifferently. “Since he is your friend, you can arrange it.”
Then, without giving anyone a chance to react, he directly announced the next champion. He left the others to ponder the meaning of his words.
As everyone knew, princes couldn’t interfere in court affairs, and once they were caught, it would be a capital crime.
But just now, the meaning of the emperor’s words was clearly to let the Third Prince arrange a suitable official position for Gu Ziyuan himself!
With a light sentence, the power that came with it was great.
In addition to the opening of Yuchun Palace, it was really hard not to think more.
Zong Yongliu clenched his fists, feeling cold in his heart.
So the next process was slowly passed in Gu Ziyuan’s dizziness, and the other princes each harbored their own thoughts.
After all the awards were finished, Emperor Yuan left.
Before leaving, Yuan Jia specifically reminded Zong Luo that although today was the New Year’s Day, the curfew time in the palace would not be delayed. The Third Highness must not forget the time to return to the palace when he leaves, otherwise His Majesty would be angry again.
“Later, it will be the end of the year. In the past, His Majesty was alone. If His Highness has time this year, he can accompany His Majesty more.”
Through the clothes, Zong Luo weighed the heavy Shenlong Jade on his body and nodded in agreement.
