Chapter 1322 Granting Imperial Status

"His Majesty the Emperor is here!"

Yuxuan Garden, the scene of the Bihai Pavilion banquet, just as everyone finished their civil and military battles and resumed the banquet, a slightly shrill voice came from far away from the main entrance of Bihai Pavilion!

All the guests who were still chatting loudly at the intertwining of cups and dendrobiums quieted down. They all put down their wine bottles and stood up in awe, looking at the gate with fiery and reverent eyes, waiting for the appearance of Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty!

Everyone originally thought that the Minister of the Household Department would come first to go through the formalities for Zhou Hao to become a Datang nationality, but who would have thought that they waited until the arrival of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a group of golden armored guards, led by a mid-level guard captain of the Heavenly Emperor, stepped into the main gate first, and under his strict protection, they entered the gate in a golden yellow imperial car pulled by a dragon horse!

Dozens of hurried figures in Tang official robes could be seen behind Yu Tuo. It seemed that their official ranks should not be low, but at this moment they could only follow Yu Tuo on foot!

Seeing such a luxurious guard team, Du Long couldn't help shrinking his pupils, and thought to himself: "You actually let a strong man at the level of the Emperor of Heaven be the captain of the guard?! The strength of the Tang Dynasty is really strong to the extreme!"

"Hee hee!" Jie Lingling'er interjected at the right time: "If it weren't for the protection of powerful Buddhist cultivators, in the former Great Tang Heavenly Kingdom, there would be Heavenly Emperors who fell every once in a while, so how could such a large-scale formation come together? What?! One of the main reasons why Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty won the support of the people of the Tang Dynasty so much is the great feat of urging him to join the lineage of Buddhist cultivation!"

Du Long nodded secretly, knowing that what the ring spirit said was very reasonable, so he didn't make any further comments. At this moment, the emperor's imperial servant had also arrived at the banquet, and the little princess Changle personally led many young disciples from the Tang Dynasty go.

As Yu Luan slowly stopped in front of the crowd under the traction of the dragon horse, a bright yellow figure immediately lifted the golden curtain and slowly revealed his true face!

Sure enough, he is worthy of being a generation of sages praised by countless people in the Tang Dynasty. His handsome and handsome figure has a gentle and jade-like temperament, and his star pupils open and close without losing the decisiveness unique to the superior. People not only admire him, but also can't help but want to get close to him!

This is the legendary emperor of the Tang Dynasty, a generation of sages who made great achievements for the empire, Li Shimin!

"See Father!"

"See Your Majesty!"

Led by Princess Changle, many guests bowed respectfully to Li Shimin and paid homage to Li Shimin. Since this is not a court hall, and there are distinguished guests from all over the world, there is no need to kneel down and pay respects. This is also the default practice of all parties in the God Realm!

"Hehe! All the outstanding disciples of the Great Tang Heavenly Kingdom, as well as many distinguished guests who have come from afar, you don't need to be too polite. Today is my daughter Changle's birthday banquet. Don't be restrained, just relax and have a banquet!" Li Shimin waved his hands to the guests and said kindly!

Then, his eyes swept across the crowd, and seemed to stay on Du Long intentionally or unintentionally, and finally landed on his precious daughter, Princess Changle, and said: "Changle! It is said that the result of this civil and military struggle has been announced, why don't you hurry up and send the princess to Du Long?" The two young talents who have won the civil and martial arts championship, please come out and let the emperor have a look?!"

"Yes! Father!" Chang Le respectfully replied, then turned his eyes to the crowd behind him and shouted loudly: "I also invite Sun Bin and Zhou Hao, the champions of this civil and military fight, to come and meet my father!"

Although Du Long, whose name was called, felt helpless, he could only slowly walk towards the direction of the emperor Yu Huan under the eyes of everyone. As for the other champion of the literary competition, Sun Bin, at this moment, he hurried towards Li Shimin in fear and trepidation. Then because of being too excited, he knelt down on the ground trembling slightly!

"Grassman Sun Bin! Kowtow to the emperor, may my majesty live long and long!"

Li Shimin looked at the two champion candidates who were one tight and one slow, and their performances were very different when facing him, and he couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart, obviously he was not very satisfied with Wen Champion from Datang Heavenly Kingdom!

However, he who has been in power for many years will naturally not have no tolerance in front of others, but he said calmly: "You are the son of Sun Shangshu's family?! Very good! You can win the first prize at Changle's birthday banquet in one fell swoop. , This is also the result of your years of hard work, I am very optimistic about you, and hope that you can become like Sun Aiqing, and in the future, you can also become a pillar of the country and serve our Tang Heavenly Kingdom with all your loyalty!"

"Cao Min thanked the emperor for his love, Sun Bin must be like my father, who will devote himself to the Great Tang Heavenly Kingdom, and die!" Sun Bin hurriedly expressed his loyalty in front of Li Shimin.

After chatting here for a few words, Du Long, who is the martial arts champion, has also come to him. The emperor Li Shimin, who has been secretly watching him, immediately ignores Sun Bin who is still kneeling on the ground, and looks at him with a smile on his face. Looking at Du Long, he said: "Surely this is the little brother Zhou Hao who won the martial arts championship?!"

"Zhou Hao has seen His Majesty the Emperor!" Although Du Long felt helpless, he could only bow his hands politely.

"Okay, very good!" Li Shimin said yes twice, and then stared at the handsome and confident young man in front of him with admiration, and said, "Victory without arrogance or impetuosity is indeed a rare achievement in billions of years." What a good seedling!"

No wonder he would praise Du Long so much. In today's world, apart from those strong men who have been famous for a long time, there are very few young people like that who can maintain a neither humble nor humble attitude when they see themselves!

What's more, the information obtained from the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple Liaoyuan shows that this young man named Zhou Hao is very likely to be related to Xitian Daleiyin Temple, maybe he came out with Master Kongjian to carry out a certain secret Task, and then one may be in the light and the other may be in the dark!

It is precisely because of these considerations, plus the reminder from Abbot Yuan, that Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty condescended to appear in this kind of gathering place for the younger generation, otherwise he would not do such a thing according to the usual practice!

"Your Majesty the Emperor has praised you!" Facing the face-to-face praise of the Emperor Datang, Du Long couldn't help but blush, and hastily said a word of humility.

"Father!" Without waiting for Li Shimin to continue to be polite, the little princess of Changle couldn't wait to interject: "Just now, Mr. Zhou Hao agreed to a request from others, and decided to join our Datang nationality, and then represent the Great Tang Heavenly Kingdom to fight against the strongest in the God Realm. The Hunyuan True God Contest!"

"Oh?!" Li Shimin's eyes lit up suddenly, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "Is this true?! Brother Zhou Hao is really willing to join the Datang nationality, and represent the Datang Heavenly Kingdom to participate in this competition of the strongest Hunyuan True God in the God Realm?! "

"Yeah, it's absolutely true!" Chang Le nodded sharply and said: "Chang Le has already sent someone to invite Liu Shangshu, the household department, and wants to strike while the iron is hot, and finish the household registration of Mr. Zhou Hao today! I never thought that Liu Shangshu had already You came here with your father!"

"Haha!" Li Shimin was obviously quite satisfied with his precious daughter's actions, and immediately laughed and said, "Okay, it's really great! I think my Tang Dynasty can have a genius like little brother Zhou Hao join us. I will definitely not repeat the same mistakes and fall behind in the competition again!"

"That's right! Please hurry up and ask Liu Shangshu to handle the matters related to becoming a Datang nationality for Mr. Zhou Hao!" Chang Le hurriedly urged.

"En!" Li Shimin glanced at Du Long with burning eyes, then turned around and shouted loudly to the Minister of the Household Department among the officials: "Liu Minghe! Did you hear what Cai Changle said just now?! I'm looking for you now Arrange the relevant naturalization matters by yourself, be sure to act cheaply, and complete the matters related to Zhou Hao's little brother joining Datang nationality in the shortest possible time!"

"My minister, Minghe obeys the decree!" Liu Minghe did not hesitate, but agreed on the spot: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have already started to arrange this matter after His Royal Highness Princess Changle made a request. I believe that those officers who go through the relevant procedures will not dare to take this matter as a joke, and will definitely handle the naturalization related matters for Mr. Zhou Hao in the fastest time!"

"En!" Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction and said, "Let's do this! With the talent and strength of little brother Zhou Hao, as long as he is willing to join a certain nationality, he will definitely be sought after by all parties. Our Tang Dynasty can't take advantage of others and not give it to anyone. Good thing, let’s add Zhou Hao to the imperial register of the Great Tang Heavenly Kingdom! I won’t give Li a surname anymore, just treat him as a king of the same generation with a different surname in Changle!”

Wow!

After Li Shimin spoke out his decision, the audience was once again in an uproar. The atmosphere of silence facing the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty disappeared, and people no longer cared about the etiquette and discussed there!

"Isn't it?! Another household registration of a royal family with a different surname. I'm afraid this is another existence that was bestowed by the emperor after Xuanzang back then?!"

"Who said it wasn't! The emperor recognized Xuanzang's talent back then, and today he bestowed an imperial title in public. I don't know if it will become a good story that will be passed down through the ages in the future?!"

"A king with a different surname?! This is a treatment that even the great founding meritorious families of the Great Tang Heavenly Kingdom have never received! Tsk tsk tsk, how can this Zhou Hao be so kind, why is he so loved by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty?!"

"..."

In the crowd, there were voices of envy and jealousy. Some were envious of Zhou Hao's treatment, and some were guessing what was so special about this young man in front of him. To be able to get so much attention from the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty? !

If he can win the championship in the competition, it will make everyone on the scene understand a little bit, but based on the performance in the previous martial arts meeting, no matter how powerful he is, he only has the foundation for the mid-term perfection of Hunyuan True God Combat strength, it should be extremely difficult to win the championship in a competition where geniuses emerge in large numbers, right? !

"Your Majesty!" Others did not dare to open their mouths to ask the reason, but Liu Minghe, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, could only bite the bullet and said: "It is a matter of royal status. How about talented people? Otherwise, I fear that other meritorious ministers will be hard-pressed!"
