Seeing Xiao Yi's arrival, they all bowed their hands in salute, even Prince Gong and other princes did the same.

Although Xiao Yi's title is lower than theirs, and his status is not as noble as theirs, but he is a majestic grandmaster, and he is not an ordinary grandmaster, he is ridiculously strong, and he has a huge amount of power in his hands, which cannot be tolerated by them neglect.

To put it bluntly, even if Xiao Yi casually killed one of them now, they could only pinch their noses to recognize each other, and neither the emperor nor the court would say anything.

Right now, Dachu is troubled, everywhere is in chaos, and Nanhai County has finally settled down, so naturally it doesn't want to have any more twists and turns.

Xiao Yi returned the salute by cupping his hands, and beckoned everyone to go to the flower hall.

After some humility, Xiao Yi sat at the top, Prince Gong and other princes sat on the left, and the Duke, several Lords and court officials sat on the right.

Xiao Yi looked around at the crowd and said with a smile, "Are you all satisfied with the trip to Longevity Island?"

"Hahahaha..." Prince Gong laughed, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Duke Wu for eradicating this thief for the court and His Majesty, and giving peace to the people, and allowing His Majesty to have face in the future to face the ancestors!"

When Prince Gong spoke, the rest of the people also echoed.

"That's right, what the lord said is very true, Lord Wu, this is an unrivaled achievement, enough to shine through the ages, and it will be recorded in the annals of history. I really envy you!"

"That's right, the Duke's move has played a role in setting the world and the world, and it can also deter other young people. If it is in the court, other people can do the same, then your majesty can rest easy..."

"It's hateful, I only hate that I'm not talented, and I don't have any talent, otherwise I will be like the Duke, holding a three-foot sword, leveling all directions, destroying all rebels, and helping His Majesty solve problems!"

……

All of a sudden, there were compliments and congratulations in the flower hall, one after another, the atmosphere was very lively, people who didn't know thought it was a happy event.

Facing everyone's flattery and flattery, Xiao Yi had a smile on his face, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart. A few days ago, he didn't know these people at all, let alone have any friendship.

Then one can imagine how false what everyone is saying now. The reason why they compliment him is nothing more than his current strength and the power he has mastered.

What's more, Changshou Island and his party got the desired result. After returning to Beijing this time, these people, as members of the investigation team, will also be rewarded by the emperor.

After confirming that Xiang Jianghe was dead, Emperor Wen Jing was absolutely delighted, he was extremely happy, and rewarding him was not what it should be.

It can be said that these people are all in his favor, so facing their compliments and praises, Xiao Yi listened with peace of mind, without any psychological burden.

……

At this moment, Eunuch Wang suddenly coughed lightly, and everyone stopped talking and suppressed the smiles on their faces.

Eunuch Wang stood up, walked to the center of the flower hall, and stood facing Xiao Yi.

He cupped his hands and said, "My lord, Your Majesty has a will!"

As he spoke, he took out a roll of bright yellow imperial edict from his wide sleeve.

Xiao Yi was drinking tea at this time. He nodded when he heard Wang Gonggong's words, but still drank the tea in the cup, then put down the cup and stood up.

Xiao Yi walked to the middle and stood there.

But I heard the prince said with a smile: "Mr. Wu, this time to quell the chaos in the South China Sea and kill the rebel Xiang Jianghe, this is a great achievement. Your Majesty specifically allows Mr. Wu to stand and listen, and you don't need to kneel down!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yi laughed.

This prince is very interesting, he is very good at dealing with affairs, no wonder he can hang around so happily with Emperor Wen Jing.

He didn't intend to kneel down to listen to the order at all, but the prince just said such a thing.

These words not only made Xiao Yi feel comfortable, but also made Emperor Wen Jing look good, and made the court not lose its dignity, which can be said to kill three birds with one stone.

As for whether Emperor Wen Jing said these words, it doesn't matter at all!

Compared with Emperor Wen Jing's face, it's no big deal to pass on false oral instructions. No one will mention this, and no one will care about it.

This is the brilliance of Wang Gonggong!

Imagine another situation, Xiao Yi stood there straight, but didn't kneel.

If the prince didn't say those words and just read the imperial decree directly, it would cause Xiao Yi to stand and listen to the decree, trample the face of Emperor Wen Jing under his feet, and the majesty of the court would disappear.

The court investigation team present here, the princes, county kings, dukes, marquises, and ministers are also dishonored, and they are the ones who humiliate.

But if the prince asked Xiao Yi to kneel down and listen to the order, it would be even more impossible. If he said that, maybe this group of people would not be able to get out today.

If Xiao Yi agreed, those people in the Azure Dragon Hall outside the door would not agree either.Xiao Yi's status in their hearts is very high now, like a god of war, he cannot be insulted.

Let the god of war in their hearts kneel down?

Then you are courting death!

What's more, Xiao Yi is now a grandmaster, there is no one in this world who can make a grandmaster kneel down, and the emperor is no exception...

……

Chapter 418 Governor of the South China Sea, Emperor Seventh Princess

Jinyiwei, in the flower hall.

Not only Xiao Yi thought that the prince was brilliant, but even Prince Gong and the others felt that the prince had some skills, no wonder he was deeply trusted by Emperor Wen Jing.

Xiao Yi didn't know Wang Gonggong very well, but they were different, they were all from the capital.He couldn't be more clear about those things in the palace.

I know that Wang Gonggong is very trustworthy by Emperor Wen Jing. Whenever something important happens, imperial envoys need to be sent there, and Wang Gonggong must be one of them.

In addition, some important events in the imperial court required the reading of the imperial decree, which was also done by the prince, who was a confidant of Emperor Wen Jing.

……

After listening to the edict of Emperor Wen Jing that Eunuch Wang said, Xiao Yi smiled gratefully and cupped his hands to express his thanks.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Eunuch Wang stretched out his hand to help with a smile, and said with a smile: "Mr. Wu is too polite, please stand up."

Immediately, he unfolded the imperial decree, his face solemn.

The rest of the people also stretched out their bodies one after another, and knelt down facing the prince, with their knees on the ground.

Even Prince Gong and several other county kings are the same, even though they are all princes with noble status, they still have to kneel in front of the imperial decree and Emperor Wen Jing.

They are not as strong as Xiao Yi, and they are not qualified to stand and listen to orders. Even if they are asked to stand and listen, they dare not.

The prince proclaimed loudly: "Follow the heavens to carry the emperor, and the edict said: Xiao Yi, the Duke of Wu, is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. In Sheji, there is no such thing as goodness, and I am so relieved!"

"Today, Xiao Yi, the Duke of Wu, is appointed as the governor of the South China Sea. He is in charge of a county in the South China Sea. He is in charge of all important military and political affairs of the people's livelihood. He is in charge of the post-war reconstruction of the South China Sea, restoring order and bringing peace to the people as soon as possible."

"In addition, I heard that Duke Wu is still young and has not yet married, so I feel uneasy. How can such a powerful minister have no family."

"My seven daughters, twenty-eight years old, virtuous and virtuous, intelligent, pure-natured, kind-hearted, beautiful and refined, beautiful, graceful, charming..."

"Specially grant Duke Wu Xiao Yi as his wife, choose an auspicious day to get married!"

"Kin this!"

……

After the eunuch Wang finished reading the imperial decree, he put together the imperial decree and handed it to Xiao Yi.

Seeing that Xiao Yi was a little dazed and didn't intend to accept the order, he thought it was too much of a surprise, so Wang Gonggong joked with a smile: "Please accept the order, Mr. Wu Guogong, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations!"

Hearing Wang Gonggong's joke, Xiao Yi came back to his senses. He had already anticipated part of the content of the imperial decree, but he never expected the marriage.

The fact that Emperor Wen Jing made him Governor of Nanhai was actually requested by Xiao Yi himself in the memorial. Of course, he did not write it so straightforwardly, saying that you hand over Nanhai County to me, and I will take it.

If he wrote it like that, it would be no different from rebellion, and it would be no wonder that Emperor Wen Jing would agree.

It was Lin Langtian's idea, and it was finally written in the memorial.

Today, Xiang Jianghe is dead and the rebel army is destroyed, but Nanhai County is far from being settled, and the power of the thieves still exists, which should not be underestimated.

Xiang Jianghe's wife, Juan and heir, were rescued by several masters, and most of them hid in the old department of the South China Sea Palace to follow.Now the situation in the South China Sea is complicated, with dense families and chaotic rivers and lakes...

After this rebellion, the nine counties in the South China Sea, all of them.The living beings are devastated, ten rooms are empty, thousands of miles of barren land, starvation is everywhere.

I can't bear this kind of tragedy to spread in the South China Sea, and I can't allow the rebellion to recur. I especially ask His Majesty for your permission to promote post-war reconstruction and restore people's livelihood.

……

These words seem to be explaining the current situation in Nanhai County to Emperor Wen Jing, and the situation is both true and false.

For example, Xiang Jianghe's heirs and wives are indeed alive, but they were not rescued by a few masters. These were arranged by Xiang Jianghe in advance.

But Xiao Yi said that he was rescued by a few masters, that is, he was rescued by a few masters. Now Nanhai County is what he says, not to mention that there is no evidence for this kind of thing at all, even if Emperor Wen Jing doesn't believe it That can't be helped.

At the end of the memorial, although what Xiao Yi said was awe-inspiring and heartfelt, it was all nonsense.

No rebellion allowed!

What this means is that if you don't agree to my request, then there will be another rebellion in Nanhai County, and I won't care about it at that time...

There is a hint of threat!

As smart as Emperor Wen Jing, he must have seen it, otherwise he would not have been canonized as the governor of the South China Sea.

As for giving him a Seventh Princess, that's something to ponder, but Xiao Yi doesn't have much time to think about it right now.

There is one very important thing that needs to be clarified now, otherwise it will be difficult in the future.

Xiao Yi didn't reach out to receive the imperial edict handed over by Wang Gonggong, but showed embarrassment on his face, and said with a smile: "Prince Wang, this imperial edict... I'm afraid I won't be able to accept it..."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked!

Especially Wang Gonggong's complexion changed drastically, he was horrified.

He bit his tongue hard, forced himself to stabilize his mind, and forced out a smile, but this smile was uglier than crying.

"Wu Guogong, what do you say? But you are not satisfied?"

……

Prince Gong, who was still kneeling on the ground, straightened up and looked at Xiao Yi and asked, "Mr. Wu, what concerns do you have? There are no outsiders here, just say so!"

"If you still have any thoughts in your mind, you might as well just say it, the king will send a letter to His Majesty immediately, and help to save one or two!"

"Don't be impulsive. If you have something to say, talk about it. Everything is easy to discuss!"

Prince Gong was so anxious that sweat broke out on his head, and his face was even more anxious.

Others also spoke to persuade each other, with affection and reason, and what they said was nothing more than to make Xiao Yi think carefully, everyone is a family, regardless of each other.

If you have any conditions or needs, just ask, they will help if they can, and send a letter to His Majesty immediately if they can't.With His Majesty's wisdom, wisdom and open-mindedness, he will definitely be able to satisfy the Duke's... Wait, wait, wait...

There was a commotion in the flower hall, and the palace ministers knelt there, persuading Xiao Yi.

As for the content of the imperial decree, they seemed to have known it for a long time, and they were not very surprised until they heard Xiao Yi say that the imperial decree might not be accepted.

Only now did they become anxious. They came here mainly for two things, one was to investigate and confirm Xiang Jianghe's life and death, and the other was to let Xiao Yi accept the order.

Right now, the first thing has been successfully completed, but unexpectedly, the second thing that should go smoothly has twists and turns.

How could Xiao Yi refuse to accept the order?

If Xiao Yi did not accept the order, then who would be responsible for another rebellion in Nanhai County in the future?They might be held jointly and severally responsible.

Thinking of the punishment they might receive if that happened, everyone became more anxious and flustered...

……

Chapter 419 Oh!Is it okay if the princess doesn't marry?

Hearing Xiao Yi's statement that he could not receive the order, the flower hall was in chaos, and everyone tried to persuade him, but Xiao Yi remained unmoved.

This made the prince who announced the decree look bitter, his old face was wrinkled together, and he felt like he was about to cry.

This is the first time he has encountered such a thing in his decades of father-in-law career. Facing the imperial edict, who would dare not accept it.

As soon as the imperial decree arrived, everyone was overjoyed, kneeling respectfully to welcome them.Where is it like Xiao Yi, who stood there and listened to it, and said with a smile that I can't accept this order...

While shocked but not angry, Wang Gonggong also had no choice but to think of Xiao Yi's identity, which made him feel a strong sense of powerlessness.

The other party is a grand master, and not just an ordinary grand master. In addition, he has recently put down the South China Sea rebellion, and has made great achievements in the world.

In order to win him over, His Majesty even betrothed his favorite Seventh Princess to him...

If Xiao Yi insisted on not accepting the imperial decree, the prince really had nothing to do, he couldn't beat him, and he was not afraid of moving out of the court.

The prince tried his best to force a smile, looked at Xiao Yi and said, "You don't know, the prince, the seventh daughter of the emperor, Princess Anlan, is the jewel of the royal family."

"Princess Anlan has been extremely intelligent, sharp and courageous since she was a child, and her temperament is even more docile, virtuous, knowledgeable and reasonable. She is the best among all the noble ladies of the royal family, and no one can surpass her."

"In recent years, there have been countless princes and ministers who have asked His Majesty to marry him. Even the Qin State and Li State have sent envoys many times in these years to propose to marry Princess An Lan, but His Majesty has declined all of them without exception!"

"Your Majesty has a lot of favor with you, and his grace is so powerful that he bestowed Princess An Lan on you in marriage. How can you miss such a beautiful thing as the Duke of the State?"

"My lord, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. If the servant can do it, I will definitely accommodate you."

"We are also old friends, and I don't want to see you miss this great opportunity. Losing such a beautiful scroll is really a great pity in life..."
