Chapter 514 The Lord and His Ministers

In fact, not only Illusen, but everyone present felt that Emperor Xueye only gave these rewards, which was too unfair to Lu Yuan.

Even Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo frowned, but they couldn't say anything, but their faces changed from smiling to a little cold.

Qian Renxue also "happened" to show surprise and anxiety, as if she was complaining about Lu Yuan's injustice.

But in fact, although she sighed in her heart, she was not surprised by Emperor Xueye's behavior.

After all, Emperor Xueye had clearly told her before that that after the war, he would act like a mean and ungrateful king to Lu Yuan.

Lu Qingqing was sitting next to "Xue Qinghe" at the moment. As Lu Yuan's sister, her face was also quite ugly. She actually wanted to speak.

But then I thought about it, it was best to let my brother take the lead and not make my own decisions.

After all, her brother's true intention was not just to be a minister who broke the earth and sealed the king's throne. With this thought, Lu Qingqing just maintained the image of the sister who was aggrieved for her brother, and she obviously showed her face to Emperor Xue Ye, but did not speak out.

Emperor Xue Ye pretended not to see their faces at all, nor did he feel that there was anything wrong with his reward to Lu Yuan. He still had a faint smile on his face.

On the surface, Lu Yuan and his family were all favored by Xue Ye.

But in fact, the rewards Lu Yuan received from this battle were not as good as those of the kings of the four kingdoms.

This is simply chilling. After all, meritorious ministers cannot get the rewards they deserve. Who wouldn't think this is a problem?

Marquis Senluo felt aggrieved for Lu Yuan. In addition to wanting to show Lu Yuan his sincerity, he actually felt aggrieved because his meritorious officials were not rewarded.

When Emperor Xue Ye heard this, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, but soon he said in a rather friendly manner, "Ilusen, what do you think is wrong?"

After all, Marquis Senluo is a general in the Tiandou Empire's military. In addition, their royal family is now weak, and this world is a world where personal force is paramount.

Therefore, even Emperor Xue Ye, as the emperor, cannot kill or kill an important imperial official with Contra cultivation level.

This is also the reason why Illusen dared to say such things. As long as he was not directly involved in treason and assassination of the royal family like the Titans of the Force Clan, even Emperor Xueye would not be able to do anything to him.

In this case, what happened to him being the first person to let Lu Yuan see his sincerity?

Illusen said directly, "Your Majesty, I think this reward for General Tianying..."

But before Illusen could finish speaking, Lu Yuan on the side suddenly said, "I thank your Majesty for your kindness."

Illusen and others looked at Lu Yuan with some surprise, and saw that Lu Yuan's face was indifferent at this time.

Seeing Ilusen looking at him, he even shook his head at Ilusen.

Ilusen sighed, and then said, "I was reckless, and I will punish myself with a drink."

He directly picked up the wine glass, raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.

Naturally, this glass of wine was nothing to a strong Contra player like Illusen. He sat down directly without shaking his body.

Upon seeing this, Marquis Xuanwu, Marquis Liehuo and others did not stand up again to speak for Lu Yuan.

Emperor Xueye smiled lightly and said, "Tonight is all about merit, so why are you guilty? Come, let me reward Senluohou with a bottle of royal wine that has been aged for thirty years."

"I... thank you, Your Majesty." Illusen said solemnly.

Emperor Xueye then looked at Lu Yuan, as if he was still very kind to Lu Yuan, and said with a chuckle, "Lu Yuan, in fact, in addition to the state affairs of the empire's victory, I also want to talk to you about some things at this dinner. Household affairs..."

"Your Majesty, just say so."

A forced smile appeared on Lu Yuan's face, like a passionate and high-spirited young man who had encountered setbacks but had to put on a fake smile.

In fact, he was just pretending, although he really didn't care that Emperor Xue Ye's reward was unfair, but if he acted indifferently and indifferently, it would not be the mentality he could have at his age.

When Emperor Xue Ye saw this, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

After all, he is just a young boy. I originally thought that Lu Yuan had signaled to Ilusen just now, and thought he was very mature. Now it seems that although Lu Yuan has learned to be restrained and hide his secrets, after all, it is because of his experience and acting skills. point.

Emperor Xue Ye was not afraid of Lu Yuan showing his emotions, but he was just afraid that he would be like some old foxes who could not easily see what he was thinking.

In this way, Emperor Xue Ye was assured that he and even his successor "Xue Qinghe" could completely control Lu Yuan.

He then said with a smile, "The serious troubles outside have been solved, so I have a long-buried wish, and it's time to solve it."

Emperor Xueye then looked at Qian Renxue and Lu Qingqing, who were sitting in the first place under him, and said with a smile, "Qinghe is not young now. As the crown prince of the empire and the future emperor, it is time for him to start a family and start a career. Now, Qingqing is already sixteen years old, so it’s time to get married..."

Although allowing girls to get married at the age of sixteen was a pervert who would definitely be called to the police and caught on the spot in Lu Yuan's past life and modern times, in this world and era of Douluo Continent, there really is no problem at all.

After all, several of the protagonists in the original plot were under the age of sixteen, and they were able to enter and exit romantic places and just mount up and wield guns. The same is true for girls. (This is indeed scary, but the original plot of Ma Hongjun’s ex-girlfriend and the twins Dai Mubai hooked up with is not much bigger than them.)

A sixteen-year-old girl can indeed get married in this era.

Emperor Xue Ye's meaning was self-evident. Lu Yuan was silent for a while, and then said, "I am just Qingqing's brother. I'm afraid I can't be the master. I need to go back to my hometown to ask my father and mother for their opinions."

Emperor Xue Ye was immediately displeased. Although he had conferred the title of Marquis on Lu Qing Mana, when did he really take Lu Qing and Mana seriously.

Ordinary people like Lu Qing and Mana have their current status not because they gave birth to good sons or daughters.

Everyone also knew that Lu Yuan could actually decide everything about him and his sister, and asking Lu Qing and Mana for instructions was just rhetoric.

But everyone here understood that Lu Yuan was not objecting to this marriage by saying this. After all, if he was really opposed to it, he should not replace Lu Qingqing's original promise to Emperor Xue Ye to be engaged to "Xue Qinghe".

Everyone currently speculates that Lu Yuan feels that Lu Qingqing is "too young" and is reluctant to let her get married so early. At the same time, he is also dissatisfied with Emperor Xue Ye for releasing him.

After Emperor Xueye felt a little displeased, he thought of this again, and suddenly he smiled again and said, "Then I will invite Marquis Zhongcheng and Mrs. Cide to the palace some other time to discuss the wedding of this junior. What do you think? ?”

Lu Yuan could only pretend to nod reluctantly, "That's how it should be, it's only in line with etiquette."

Immediately afterwards, the dinner continued, but the atmosphere was not as harmonious as before, and soon the palace dinner was over.

However, at the end of the dinner, Qian Renxue, who was sitting at the head of the table, looked at Lu Yuan with a flicker of her eyes.

Then her eyes became firm, as if she had made up her mind.

Even Lu Yuan didn't notice Qian Renxue's eyes at this time.

…

After the dinner.

Everyone left the palace one after another when they left the palace.

Marquis Senluo and his wife, Marquis Liehuo and Yan Zhuyin came to Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong and hesitated to speak.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan showed a forced smile on his face and said to them, "Uncle Yi and Uncle Yan, I accept your kindness, but this is His Majesty's will, and we, as ministers, can only accept it."

"Okay then..." Marquis Senluo, Marquis Liehuo and others had no choice but to sigh and give up.

Immediately afterwards, they got into their own carriage and headed back home.

At this time, Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo also came out of the palace. Ning Fengzhi came to Lu Yuan, shook his head and said, "Xiao Yuan, what you did just now was a bit wrong."

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Dad, I know I shouldn't have acted out of anger and objected to what His Majesty said..."

"No." Ning Fengzhi shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Yuan, I say what you did wrong is that you were too evasive."

"Although as a minister, you have to accept whatever His Majesty says, it does not mean that you have to give in and endure it." He said helplessly, "If you let Marquis Senluo continue talking just now, we would also force His Majesty to If you do, it may not force His Majesty to retreat, but your avoidance makes it difficult for us to do it."

"But later on, you refused to let Qingqing and Qinghe hold their wedding today. Although it was a little out of temper, you did a good job."

Lu Yuan was a little surprised. He thought Ning Fengzhi wanted him to promise Xue Ye that Qian Renxue and Lu Qingqing would get married as soon as possible. However, Ning Fengzhi actually felt that he should not give in so easily.

In fact, although Ning Fengzhi has always been loyal to the Tiandou royal family, he does not completely obey the orders of Emperor Xue Ye. Before this, he had forced Emperor Xue Ye to make concessions several times.

He has always put the interests of the sect first, and naturally he will not blindly make concessions to Emperor Xue Ye, otherwise the wealth of the Qibao Glazed Sect would have belonged to Emperor Xue Ye.

It was just that Lu Yuan had never seen the confrontation between Ning Fengzhi and Emperor Xueye, so he thought Ning Fengzhi was such a person.

"I just think that His Majesty has already thought about suppressing my current limelight." Lu Yuan said, "So no matter how much I say, I can't change His Majesty's mind."

"Whether it can be done is one thing, and whether we can do it or not is another thing." Ning Fengzhi said earnestly, "This way His Majesty and even Qinghe will not think that you are a puppet at their mercy."

"Dad, I have learned a lesson." Lu Yuan suddenly realized something and said with a smile.
