People who queried the announcement of Gong Liang quickly bowed to apologize. Prime minister was wealthy in knowledge and even more authoritative than the No.1 scholar. Who would dare challenge him?
Gong Liang snorted. Today, the association meeting was of great importance, and all the people present were somebodies. If he punished Wang Jingguo as a warning to others, it would arise public indignation.
Besides, he wasn’t the kind of person to bear anyone a grudge. So he tried to forget the unpleasantness and was ready to say something. Suddenly there was a voice from the distance:
"The emperor is here!"
Everyone was shocked!
The emperor’s arrival was entirely unexpected. Although this association meeting was vital, wasn’t the emperor busy with discussing state affairs with the envoys of other three countries? Why did he have time to come here?
On the sacrificial altar, a handsome man in his forties walked in the middle, escorted by a group of eunuchs, military officers and bodyguards. He wore a yellow dragon robe and a coronet studded with pearls. A pair of eyes was like cold stars and bushy eyebrows were well-plucked.
He was Tian Juechen, the incumbent emperor.
"Your Majesty. Long live my emperor!" Everyone prostrated themselves before the emperor and didn’t dare to move a bit.
Tian Juechen settled back in the dragon throne and carried two beauties in his arms. Two maids were waving cattail leaf fans to fan him at the left and right. What a voluptuous life!
"The emperor even takes his imperial concubines with him to attend this meeting. No wonder people say that he was so fond of women that he didn’t hold court. Both Murong Fengjian and Gong Liang are in charge of the state affairs. Murong holds the military power, and Gong holds the political power." thought Qin’er.
Xiao Naihe and Qin’er stood at the back of a crowd. Everyone kneeled down expect for them.
With unyielding character, Xiao Naihe was unwilling to kneel to this earthly emperor. Qin’er learnt The Magic of the Celestial Devil and reached the Sky Spirit Realm, so she had a sense of pride and also refused to kneel down.
At this moment, all of people fixed their eyes on the emperor, so no one took notice of the two people.
"Quickly get up. I heard the association meeting is going on today. Just now, at the end of our conference, the envoys of other three countries proposed to watch it, and I also came over. Gong Liang, it isn’t over, is it?" Although Tian Juechen was talking to Gong Liang, his attention was focused on the imperial concubines in his arms.
Although Gong Liang was discontented with the emperor’s behavior, he didn’t dare not to make the emperor lose face in front of so many people, especially foreign envoys. He hastily bowed and said, "Your Majesty, we’ve got the first place of the literary examination. He is..."
"No more talk. I just came to watch the martial examination. Is it over?" Tian Juechen didn’t want to listen to No.1 of the literary examination.”
"The martial examination is about to start, but we need to get some preparation for the contest field. Could you please wait a moment?" Gong Liang replied.
"Yes, of course." Tian Juechen laughed.
Gong Liang felt a great sadness for the fact that he, as prime minister, couldn’t stop the emperor’s disgraceful behavior.
Murong Fengjian looked at Gong Liang and said, "Prime minister, thanks for your work."
The episode of the literary examination was dismissed. Descendants of the aristocratic families had never seen the emperor. Now they were not dissatisfied with Tian Juechen when they saw him. Instead, excitement took hold of them so that they itched to show themselves before the emperor.
The emperor came to watch the martial examination specially. If they could get a place in it, perhaps they could become a military officer.
"I’m very interested in the martial examination of your country, but before the contest, it’s better to have some fun first, isn’t it?"
"Please forgive my brother, Your Majesty. It’s typical of him. He is little educated, so he made a tactless remark."
Qin’er looked over and saw several men beside the emperor. They were envoys of other three countries.
"Never mind. I want to enjoy as well. Come on. Present it."
"Your Majesty. I invited the most talented girl to play music for the meeting. She is waiting at the backstage. I’ll bring her up immediately."
"The most talented girl?" Tian Juechen’s eyes lit up, then he laughed, "She’s got a good title. I’d like to see if she deserves this title."
Xiao Naihe was slightly surprised. Would the most talented girl be Hao Li?
People who queried the announcement of Gong Liang quickly bowed to apologize. Prime minister was wealthy in knowledge and even more authoritative than the No.1 scholar. Who would dare challenge him?
