Chapter 524 Meet the Former Duke

Chapter 520 Four Visits to the Former Duke

"I'll pay my respects to the former Duke!"

The other nine relatives and guards saluted one after another and said in unison.

wow——

The seventh prince was stunned, and the generals looked at a loss.

As for Gu Hengsheng, he stared at the relatives, monarchs and guards with twitching eyelids, as if he had guessed something in his heart.

"You... what did you just say?" Luo Qing suspected that she had heard wrong, and said to the relatives, kings and guards.

"Your Majesty's Royal Order, because of General Gu's meritorious service in conquering Fengcheng this time, he is specially conferred the rank of former Duke of the first rank, and his status is comparable to that of a prince, below one person and above ten thousand people!"

Hong Sheng, the leader of Qinjunwei, straightened his chest, took a deep breath, and spoke slowly.

what!
Everyone present was shocked, and their eyes instantly widened like lanterns, unable to believe it.

Yipin... the former Duke!

The former Duke of the former Su Dynasty, this... is the title of Duke named after the first character of the Dynasty, which means a lot.

It has been thousands of years since the establishment of the former Su Dynasty, but the title of former Duke has only been used twice.

The first time was a founding hero who was once named the former Duke of the State. The second time was when the Qiansu Dynasty was on the verge of collapse. Someone pulled the dynasty back from the abyss and was named the former Duke of the State.

It's a pity that the two former princes before the former Su Dynasty both died early, and this position has been vacant for thousands of years.

In the hearts of countless people in the Qiansu Dynasty, the former Duke is sacred and inviolable, symbolizing an incomparably lofty glory.These three words, even the current prime minister and the general of the town can't bear it.

However, Junshang actually named Gu Hengsheng the first-rank former Duke, and announced it to the world.

This approach really shocked and stunned countless people.

Your Majesty, why did you do this?

Although General Gu played a decisive role in the Battle of Fengcheng, he is still far from achieving such an honor!
This is the former Duke!It is much more important than the position of prince, and it can be called the status of the guardian of a country.At some point, the former Duke can even refute the emperor's holy will and rectify the court.

"Ex... Former Duke!" The Seventh Prince Luo Qing's tongue tightened, his color lost.

Gu Hengsheng was puzzled, he was not from the Qiansu Dynasty, and he didn't know the history of the Dynasty, so naturally he didn't know what Yipin Qiangong meant.

"You said that your majesty granted me the rank of former Duke?" Gu Hengsheng frowned, looked at the relatives, kings and guards, and asked.

"Reporting to General Gu, it is absolutely true. Your Majesty has already announced this matter to the world, and it has already spread throughout the entire imperial dynasty and even the border of Beizhou."

Hong Sheng, the head of the Qinjun Guards, immediately responded with great respect.

Gu Hengsheng glanced away, and found that Hong Sheng's whole body was covered with a layer of mist, making it difficult to see clearly.

For Hong Sheng to become the leader of the royal guard on this trip, his cultivation must be unfathomable, and it is definitely not something that Gu Hengsheng can handle now.

"reason?"

Although Gu Hengsheng didn't know what the former Duke meant, he could see some clues from the expressions of the generals and Luo Qing.

"General Gu has done a great job in capturing Fengcheng this time, and His Majesty is giving you a special gift."

Hong Sheng, the leader of the Qinjun Guards, clasped his fists and said without haste.

"Although I don't know what the former Duke's job is, but the position of first-rank prince alone is not something I can achieve with my meager combat achievements. Your Majesty's intention is too friendly!"

Gu Hengsheng guessed the former Su Emperor's plan to win over, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

All the relatives, monarchs and guards secretly smiled wryly.

The position of the former Duke has been vacant for thousands of years, and now the king orders him, and he does not know how much pressure he will bear.However, in Gu Hengsheng's eyes, there was a hint of sarcasm, and he didn't care.

The meaning of the former Duke is far-reaching, even the emperor Luo Hongsheng has no way to misappropriate this title.It's just that this time, Luo Hongsheng did not hold a meeting of the court of officials, and directly sent someone to announce to the world that Gu Hengsheng was named the former Duke of the State.

It is conceivable that the entire former Su Dynasty will be turned upside down because of this upsurge, and all the officials will be impeached at the meeting, even shaking the foundation of the country.

Because, people in the world still don't know about Gu Hengsheng's talent as a monster. They only know that an unknown junior sits on the former Duke's chair, and the officials will be outraged.

Moreover, on the one hand, Junhuang Luo Hongsheng had to deal with all the officials and the people of the world, and on the other hand, he had to explain to some old men hidden deep in the dynasty.

Luo Hongsheng acted vigorously and resolutely, which might revive the formerly peaceful Qiansu Dynasty.

Originally, when Junhuang Luo Hongsheng heard that Gu Hengsheng had realized his own way of swordsmanship, he wanted to discuss it with all the officials and a group of real controllers.

However, when Luo Hongsheng thought that there was already a gap between the Qiansu Dynasty and Gu Hengsheng, if Gu Hengsheng's monstrous talent spread and was recruited by other forces, then it would be a sorrow and loss for the entire Qiansu Dynasty.

Therefore, Junhuang Luo Hongsheng gritted his teeth, directly crossed the court, and promulgated this earth-shattering imperial order to announce to the world.

"General Gu, you are unparalleled in heaven, so you are naturally qualified to be the former Duke."

Hong Sheng, the leader of the Qinjun Guard, took a deep breath and forced a smile.

Naked irony!

In the eyes of all relatives, kings and guards, Gu Hengsheng's mocking smile was too dazzling.

"Farewell, I'm just waiting for a crime. If Jun Wangwang hadn't let me be the vanguard general of this Eastern Expedition, I guess I would have lost my head."

Gu Hengsheng ignored the bitterness in the hearts of all the relatives and guards, sat on the soft couch and said with a chuckle.

"General Gu, stop joking." The pro-jun Wei Hongsheng couldn't help it anymore, and said with a wry smile at the corner of his mouth.

"That is to say, I am in the first rank now, and rank among the former Dukes, right?"

Gu Hengsheng tapped on the table lightly, put away the smile on the corner of his mouth, looked at his relative Wei Hongsheng solemnly and said.

"Yes! Your Majesty's imperial order has been issued, and General Gu is already a first-rank minister of our dynasty, with a high position and authority."

Hong Sheng replied.

"That being said, how did I ever say that I want to be a former Duke?"

Gu Hengsheng pondered for a long time, then sneered.

hum-

After saying this, everyone present was stunned for a moment.

Judging from the meaning of Gu Hengsheng's words, is it possible to disobey the imperial order of the former Su emperor and dismiss the former Duke?

Thinking of this, the seventh prince, Luo Qing, felt bad all over, his whole body shivered, and he looked at Gu Hengsheng in a daze.

Many generals felt chills everywhere, couldn't help but took a few steps back, their faces were covered with dense beads of sweat, looking very scary.

"General Gu, what do you want to express?"

The prince, Wei Hongsheng, was taken aback for a moment, but then his face became stern, piercing like a soul.

Originally, the emperor Luo Hongsheng appointed Gu Hengsheng as the former Duke of the Kingdom, which had caused great disturbance in the dynasty. If Gu Hengsheng did not take over, the consequences would be too great, enough to shake the foundation of the country.
