Chapter 270 The Emperor is an old acquaintance
Liu Feiyun only reacted when he heard someone calling him. He saw several so-called senior brothers looking at him with different smiles, while the eunuch who delivered the decree had a somewhat unfriendly expression.
Liu Feiyun has been in Luo for more than a year, and has come into contact with many wealthy and powerful people. He even has acquaintances among the princes and princesses. Naturally, he understands why the eunuch has a bad face:
When the eunuchs delivered the imperial edict, no matter what form or content it was, the person who received the imperial eunuchs had to give the eunuchs some money as a reward. If they didn't, the eunuchs generally wouldn't take it. But after returning to the palace, whether he would say a few more words to the emperor was unknown.
Looking at the half-smiley expressions of the military academy students, it was obvious that they had known in advance that there would be a decree. But no one told me! After all, I was not an official student of the military academy!
Liu Feiyun reacted and hurried forward to thank the eunuch again: "Oh! ... Ah! Don't blame me, eunuch. I was so happy that I was a little silly! Thank you for your reminder! I hope you will accept this as a token of my gratitude!"
As he spoke, he stuffed a small piece of jade crystal into the eunuch's hand.
The eunuch caught a glimpse of the green light, shook his hand slightly to measure its weight, and suddenly smiled happily, flattering: "Young General, you are too much! I see that the young general's clothes do not seem to be a formal student of the military academy, but he can advance to the top five and be summoned by His Majesty. He must be extraordinary. May I ask the young general's name...?"
"Don't dare! You little Liu Feiyun! You are not a formal student of the Military Academy. You are only qualified to be an auditor!"
“Liu Feiyun?… So the young general is the one who is doing justice in Wangyuan Tower. He is the young master of the old Earl Liu! No wonder! The old Earl’s family has two generations of military commanders, so it is only natural that the young master can achieve such achievements in the art of war! If one day, the young master can lead an army on his own, it will be a great story in this dynasty! Hahahaha! Young master, you must come early tomorrow!”
Liu Feiyun had no control over whether others were happy or not, but he himself just couldn't be happy at all:
Being incorporated into the Imperial Guards, going on an expedition with the army to the Northern Wilderness, for others, this might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to gild themselves, but he doesn't need it, or rather, he doesn't care!
Who would care about the military positions in the imperial court when they have their own private army? Even if there is a chaotic world in the future, they can refer to the military experience of the two worlds and build the new private army they want!
Instead of going to the Northern Wilderness to fight for life and death, it is better to stay in Changluo City and wait for death! After all, now he is a member of the prince's family on the surface, but he is also a good friend of the Seventh Prince.
Even if he had offended the Fourth Prince passively or actively, so what! After all, he was no longer the same person he had been when he first arrived in Changluo more than a year ago! Whether it was his personal martial arts skills, his team's strength, or his financial resources and connections, he had
I am no longer afraid of the Fourth Prince!
In my opinion, staying in Changluo City is much more pleasant than going to the Northern Wilderness.
But the emperor's order cannot be disobeyed! Even if you don't want to go, you have to go.
The next day, before dawn, Liu Feiyun arrived at the entrance to the palace early and waited.
Soon, the gate to the court was opened, and a group of civil officials and military officers, as well as hereditary nobles, who were attending the court meeting, filed in one after another, and soon arrived at the Qinzheng Hall, also known as the Jinluan Palace, to wait.
Perhaps the emperor's illness was getting worse, so the court meeting didn't start until the morning. However, Liu Feiyun and the other five students from the military academy had to wait until those important figures had dealt with important political affairs before they could be summoned. At this time, they could only wait quietly.
By the time they were summoned, it was almost Ji Si time!
This was also the first time Liu Feiyun met the highest ruler of the current empire, Emperor Gu Cangsheng.
After worshipping according to the relevant rituals,
Liu Feiyun and the other four lowered their heads and waited for the emperor to lecture them.
"Come closer, and raise your heads! Let me take a good look at you!"
The emperor's words, though weak but still full of oppression, rang out.
Liu Feiyun looked up subconsciously.
A man with a sallow complexion and a thin look, who was either middle-aged or old, sat on the highest throne, forcing himself to look at the five people in his group.
The other four people hurriedly walked forward and headed towards the throne.
Liu Feiyun stared at the emperor in shock:
How could it be him? Could it be that! My father said that his greatest reliance in Changluo City was actually this... Son of Heaven!
It was because he had discovered that the current emperor, the benevolent monarch in the eyes of hundreds of millions of people, was the mysterious guest who came to his home before he went to the Miyun Sect!
No wonder, when he came to his house, the whole mansion was on high alert, with all the strong men out and the iron guards all wearing armor and on alert.
Beside him, there are six personal guards who are at least at the Lord Cultivation Realm, and there is even a high possibility that one of them is a top Earth-level warrior at the King Cultivation Realm.
If he was the emperor, this wouldn't be surprising! It would be natural!
No wonder my father would feel at ease and let me come here without worrying about so many enemies in Changluo City!
My father definitely has a close relationship with this emperor!
"Yun'er! What are you still standing there for? Come forward and let His Majesty have a good look!"
The old Earl Liu Jingang, who had not attended court for a long time, hurriedly reminded his grandson, but his tone and expression could make people see at a glance how proud he was at the moment!
Liu Feiyun hurriedly followed and stood in a row with the other four, holding his head high and chest out so that the emperor could see him clearly.
"Well! You are indeed all young and handsome men with heroic spirit! Great! Great! It is a blessing for the empire that our Great Chen has young heroes like you!"
"However, if jade is not polished, it cannot be made into a tool; if iron is not refined, it cannot be made into steel! No matter how talented a genius is, no matter how many military books and strategies he has read, it is difficult for him to become a true military talent without experiencing the tempering of actual combat. Therefore, I will let you participate in this battle in the Northern Wilderness!"
"I hope that you can learn more and see more in this battle, and ask more questions from the old generals! Calm down and learn the art of war, so that you can stand out in the future, surpass your teachers, and take on the responsibility of defending the country and the people!"
"I will not refuse even if I die!"
The five people hurriedly saluted again in response.
Perhaps because he had said too much today, the emperor felt a little tired, and then waved his hand, signaling the eunuchs around him to let the five people leave.
After coming out of the palace, Liu Feiyun's mind was still full of the emperor's sallow face and thin figure!
"This emperor has aged to this extent in just a few years! I remember that when he visited my home, he looked much younger than my father, only about forty years old. But now, he has aged like a sixty-year-old man!"
"The emperor is several years younger than my father. He is only in his early fifties now. But judging from his complexion..."
"Alas!... The emperor is about to die! I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to survive until the year after next! No wonder! The emperor is so anxious about the Northern Expedition to the Great Wilderness!"
Liu Feiyun sighed inwardly!
Generally speaking, it is not easy to launch an army of hundreds of thousands to march north to the wilderness without several years of careful preparation.
However, the intention to send troops was only decided at the beginning of this year, and the action will have to be put into action in the early spring of next year. This is not just a little anxious, but extremely impatient.
