Chapter 154 Dragons Control the Universe1.Meet you again in the temple
Under the clear sky of thousands of miles, the majestic and magnificent palace stands majestically, like a mighty giant, overlooking this vast land with solemn and solemn eyes.

Shen Yunfei stood in front of the Suzaku gate like a knife gate, looking up at the towers and palaces that undulated like mountains in front.

Xuanyuan Hall, like the highest peak in the entire mountain range, stands in the center surrounded by many towers and stars, with nine floors and 81 steps, pushing that majestic building to the highest position.

Nearby is the Forbidden Army Academy, separated by a dragon-patterned avenue as two sides.Compared with the cloud-patterned avenue outside Fengxiang Palace, the bluestone-paved venue is less gorgeous, dazzling, sacred and dreamy, but a bit more solemn and solemn, and at the same time has a bit of murderous aura.

On both sides of Xuanyuan Hall, there are statues of Xuanyuan and Shennong. These two ancestors of China are watching their descendants in awe.

Closing his eyes, Shen Yunfei could see that once upon a time, Emperor Xuanyuan stood outside the palace on a nine-foot-high platform, silently watching the fast-training Imperial Army on the school field.Hundreds of thousands of people shouted in unison, shouting "Long live", what a spectacular scene it must be.

But at this time, in the empty school grounds, there were only two rows of soldiers standing with guns, their cold eyes and the cold light on the guns complement each other, making the atmosphere in front of the hall a bit chilly.It seems that Shen Yunfei's arrival this time is not to receive a reward, but to be punished instead.

"Xuan—Shen Yunfei has an audience—"

A loud shout pierced the silence on the school grounds, and then, the trumpets sounded one after another, echoing repeatedly among the buildings and halls.

"Xuan—Shen Yunfei has an audience—"

"Xuan—Shen Yunfei has an audience—"

"Xuan-"

"..."

Shen Yunfei took a deep breath and took a step forward.

At the foot is the Qingyu Avenue dominated by Kowloon, and in front of it is the nine-story 81-step high platform.On the high platform, the nine-foot-wide gate of Xuanyuan Hall was opening to him, and the entire Forbidden Palace was so quiet that only the rustling of the wind remained, and the sound of trumpets echoing continuously and repeatedly.

"As soon as you enter the palace gate, it's as deep as the sea."

For some reason, walking on the wide and flat steps, such a sentence suddenly popped up in Shen Yunfei's heart.

The steps have come to the end, but looking back around, you can still only see pavilions, halls, and the towering palace walls.Presumably, living in such a place must not be too comfortable.

The third young master laughed at himself, and said to himself: If the emperor is comfortable living here, what does it have to do with me?
With just this smile, the tension that was still full of him just now was suddenly swept away.

Bow your head, enter the hall, kneel down on your knees, touch the ground and kowtow, and shout long live three times.Shen Yunfei's movements are meticulous, just like these movements, he has done thousands of times, even the most picky etiquette officer can't find the slightest fault.

"Excuse me, flatten your body." A slightly old voice sounded from the hall, making Shen Yunfei's ears buzzing.Although it was known that the emperor's voice was superimposed and amplified due to the special structure of the hall, hearing this sound like a dragon's chant suddenly in this eerily quiet hall still made people's heart tremble.

"Thank you long live." Shen Yunfei got up and stood up.

And the moment he stood up, he quickly glanced around, and he had a panoramic view of the situation in the hall.

The lofty, fifty-year-old man sitting on a dragon chair, wearing an embroidered gold and black brocade nine-dragon robe, and a bead-curtain nine-dragon crown on his head is none other than Long Live Today, the Lord of China—Xuanyuan Emperor Ji Xian.At this time, the orthodox heir of Xuanyuan's bloodline was looking at Shen Yunfei with a smile, as if he was having some fun.And on his left and right, stood a man and a woman, all dressed in fine clothes, with solemn expressions.

The woman on the left is about forty years old, with a slightly plump figure, but her brows are still luxurious and dignified.She is dressed in the purple gold robe of Danyang Chaofeng, wearing a jade phoenix crown with hundreds of flowers and pearls on her head, and holding the seven-treasure jade Ruyi in her hand. She is the mother of the dynasty, the prince's biological mother, and Queen Ruyi.

And the one on the right, dressed in a purple gold robe of auspicious clouds and hundreds of beasts, with a Xuanyuan jade sword crown on his head, and two beautiful strands hanging from his temples, with lowered eyebrows and trusting eyes, is the current national teacher and head of the Xuanyuan clan—— Di Rui.If it is said that Emperor Xuanyuan is in charge of the entire Huaxia, then what the Master National Teacher is in charge of represents the strongest force in the Xuanyuan clan.

Further down, on one side stood the crown prince Ji Xiaobai, while on the other side leading the officials was a child about seven years old.He is the younger brother of Xiaobai's mother and compatriot, Lingwang Ji Xiaolan.

On both sides of the main hall, civil and military officials stood neatly in two rows. Several of the Third Young Masters had seen each other in Fengxiang Huaixi Palace, and Huang Fuhua had also introduced him.

Everyone looked at Shen Yunfei intentionally or unintentionally, and there seemed to be a complicated look in their eyes.

They all knew that the young man standing in front of them smashed the conspiracy of the two-headed Jiao Hongxi in one fell swoop, and found three dragon beads, Lizhu, Xunzhu, and Zhenzhu, and made great contributions to Huaxia.However, in order to reward him, the prince discussed with the ministers many times, but there was no result.Now, this matter has to be moved to the main hall, and the emperor himself will decide.

It stands to reason that it is only right and proper to reward meritorious deeds.What's more, the emperor clearly wrote down the list early in the morning, summoning the heroes of the world to find the Dragon Ball, and how to reward it was clearly written on the list.But the bad thing is that what Shen Yunfei brought back was not one dragon ball, but three.The key point is that these three dragon balls are not ready-made, they were taken into the bodies of three women respectively.In terms of merits and demerits, no one can tell.

What's more, coupled with the killing of Nie Jiao Hongxi, but inadvertently damaged an ancient artifact such as the Gonggong Water God Halberd, Shen Yunfei's credit became even more difficult to calculate.

To put it bluntly, Shen Yunfei contributed a lot this time, and he should be a high-ranking official and enjoy a very high honor.

To put it at worst, he did not bring back the complete Dragon Ball, and even damaged the artifact. In addition, he was born as a merchant and had a low status, so he was really not suitable to be an official in the court.

If it is rewarded, or if the reward is high, it is inevitable that some ministers will not accept it, thinking that it is a great shame to enter the palace with merchants and others.Even those with ulterior motives believe that it is impossible for a mere lowly grassroots to make such great achievements.Most of this is due to the power of some people, who want to take the opportunity to support their own power.As for the person Shen Yunfei relied on, there was no need to say anything.

And if there is no reward, or if there is less reward, it will inevitably make many meritorious ministers feel chilling.After all, no matter what, the three dragon balls are there.You don't care if it has an owner or not, people always bring the Dragon Ball back.Even if they just found clues, they should be rewarded.

Although Shen Yunfei has never set foot in the officialdom, he has read a lot of official history and unofficial history.He also has a very clear view of the ulterior motives and ghosts in Xuanyuan Palace.To put it bluntly, if the credit is too great, it will appear that the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are somewhat useless, and it will always cause some unnecessary troubles.If it weren't for the fact that the incident was too big this time, he had to go to the palace to face the saint, otherwise, he, Third Young Master Shen, really didn't want to come and get involved in this mess.

Anyway, before he came in, Prince Xiaobai and Hua Yingyue helped him analyze very thoroughly, as long as the interests of those veterans and nobles were not touched, no matter what rewards he could accept, he could accept them calmly.Even if there is any problem, the prince will say a few more good words for him in the hall.

"That's right, a good-looking man!" Only the emperor praised him: "I've heard from the prince a long time ago that Shen Shaoxia is a young hero with extraordinary aura. I saw you today, and it's true. I heard that not long ago, you helped the Yiyang army capture him. The monsters of the Tunshan Sect predicted the enemy first and prevented their plot to kill the army cavalry with poison, is there such a thing?"

Hearing this, Shen Yunfei couldn't help being taken aback.

Wasn't the purpose of calling him here today to discuss his achievements in finding the three Dragon Balls and exterminating Hong Xi?Why did you bring up these old things that are out of reach?

However, when the emperor asked a question, Shen Yunfei couldn't help but answer, so he cupped his hands and said: "That time, the grassroots just happened to discover the monster who sneaked into the barracks, so it's not really a credit."

"You can't say that." The emperor laughed and said: "Mounts are the foundation of cavalry. If you hadn't predicted the enemy first and let the Tunshan Sect demon sneak in to poison, the consequences would be unimaginable. You are rewarding, what are you rewarding?"

This question is even more strange.Shen Yunfei hesitated for a while, but explained the rewards he received last time, and finally added: "In addition to those, Fengxiang Palace also sent an invitation card, allowing me to have the honor to attend the princess's wedding..."

Speaking of this matter, Shen Yunfei couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.After all, he abducted the bride of the princess that time. The emperor must have received some rumors, so he wanted to take this matter into action, right?
After all, isn't it just that the credit is too great to be rewarded?Is it a big deal or not?

Just as I was thinking about it, the emperor asked again: "As far as I know, the wedding banquet was mainly for His Royal Highness Nu Yu to recruit all the heroes and discuss the matter of exterminating demons. Since you went, can you describe the situation at that time to Will the widow listen?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yunfei couldn't help being taken aback.If it is impossible for Emperor Xuanyuan to not know the situation of the grand meeting that day, even if he wanted to hear it, he could wait until he came down to the palace and call himself into the palace to give an explanation. Gossip by yourself.From this point of view, the old emperor had a bad heart.

The third young master glanced at the prince quietly, but saw Ji Xiaobai's face full of doubts, obviously he didn't expect why her father would suddenly mention this matter at such a time.

How would Shen Yunfei answer this question?He couldn't say that he didn't finish listening to the banquet because he went to steal the bride, right?That is the death penalty of beheading.

But if you don't tell the truth, how can you explain it?
When he was hesitating, Emperor Xuanyuan laughed and said: "Can't you tell? I know that you left the meeting in a hurry before the meeting started. As for where you went after leaving the meeting, you can explain to me ?"

"This..." Shen Yunfei opened his mouth, and before he could speak, he heard someone outside the hall shout loudly: "Master Feng Xiang's son-in-law, Feng Boxi, and the princess are here to meet you—!"
"Xuan!" Emperor Xuanyuan waved his hand.

With this order, there was a discussion in the entire court.

Shen Yunfei's heart beat wildly, and he couldn't help but look back.He saw Feng Boxi, who was dressed in civilian clothes, walking in from outside the hall with Feng Yumeng.

"My lord, Feng Boxi is ordered to bring his daughter to the audience. Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
