Chapter 234 Promoted to Fourth Rank
From the beginning, the students of the military training department were defeated one after another, and later on, the same was true of the military training instructors, and in the end, even the few famous generals handpicked by the emperor were no match for them.
Being defeated by a child in front of countless audiences, even knowing that he is a military genius, that old face can't hold back!
Anyway, after a few old generals who didn't believe in evil came to the stage and were ravaged, no one dared to continue to challenge on stage!
At this point, the one-day assessment is finally over, and the results of this day's assessment will soon spread throughout the world, making the entire Star Continent a sensation!
Some good people began to rank the three major young geniuses in the mainland. As a result, Du Long from the Royal Academy of Haotian Empire was the youngest martial artist of Qihai rank in the history of the Star Continent, and he was different from ordinary people in all aspects of military and literary cultivation. Performance, won the top three young wizards in the mainland!
Jin Shencheng, the second prince of the Blue Moon Empire, broke through the Sea of Qi rank two years later than Du Long, and with his excellent performance in all aspects, he won the second place among the three great wizards!
As for the third place, it is naturally Ouyang Qingwen, the ninth princess of the Chishui Kingdom who has reached the fifth level of cyclone at the age of fifteen and has a different performance in military training than ordinary people!
Regarding this ranking, Ouyang Qingwen just laughed it off, although she didn't question it too strongly, she wasn't too convinced either!
The second prince of the Blue Moon Empire, Jin Shencheng, expressed great dissatisfaction with this ranking. This kid said in the capital of the Blue Moon Empire that although he was indeed two years late in martial arts and broke through the Sea of Qi rank, he is now Confident in defeating Du Long in a head-on challenge, and even more confident in defeating him easily in military training!
The second prince specifically mentioned that he successfully tamed three thousand flame horses and established a unique army of flame horse cavalry, which was absolutely impossible for Du Long, so he strongly expressed his strong respect for the accuracy of the ranking. question!
Since this ranking was not awarded by an official organization, many of them found it very funny to question His Royal Highness the second prince of the Blue Moon Empire who jumped up and down. This kid is so serious!
Compared with the extremely calm Ninth Princess Ouyang Qingwen, and the little Lord Du Long who never commented on the rankings, they are really lacking in enthusiasm!
It is said that Du Long was finally recognized by the Haotian Royal Academy for his excellent grades in various assessments. Naturally, he had to celebrate with all his friends for a whole night afterwards!
Early in the morning of the next day, as soon as it was dawn, he took his two daughters riding on the big lion, and wandered leisurely in the beautiful academy!
He is about to leave the highest institution in the empire. To be honest, Du Long has a very delicate feeling in his heart!
For a long time, he has lived up to his reputation as a king of skipping classes, and he really didn't have much time to stay in the academy. Because of this, he has a very strange feeling about Haotian Royal Academy!
"Hee hee! Husband, do you feel a little reluctant to leave the Royal Academy?!" Seeing Du Long's strange expression, Huo Feng couldn't help joking.
"Hehe, I'm reluctant to give up... I can't talk about it! If I don't feel it, it's not exactly like that. After all, I used to be a member of Haotian Royal Academy! It feels a little strange!" Du Long said honestly.
"Young master has skipped classes for a long time and is not in the Royal Academy. It is not surprising to have this feeling. It is because the sense of belonging is not strong enough to cause this special mentality!" Xia Qinglian analyzed with a smile.
"That's right, that's right! I have skipped classes with my husband for a long time, and now I have that strange feeling too!" Princess Huofeng immediately nodded her head in agreement after hearing her analysis.
Three young men and women, riding Xiaolie, chatting and feeling every corner of the college, recalling the little things here, and of course they went to the hidden small valley in the back mountain!
As a result, I was surprised to find that in the small valley that was rarely visited by people, there were many students from the martial arts department practicing there early in the morning, and many people could be seen there studying the pile of rocks. Obviously, these people were wondering about these What does the pile of rocks have to do with cultivation? !
Due to Du Long's outstanding performance, everything about him has become a mystery that many people want to figure out!
For example, how did he cultivate? If he relied on the second-grade spiritual liquid to improve his strength, why was he able to quickly break through the Qi Sea rank? If he didn't rely on the second-grade spiritual liquid to break through, how could he improve his strength so quickly? !
With all kinds of doubts, many people began to dig into the secrets of Du Long's usual cultivation in Haotian Royal Academy, so this valley was exposed!
"Hey... let's go! It seems that we can no longer come here to practice!" Seeing a large number of figures in the small valley from a distance, Du Long could only shake his head and sigh helplessly.
So, the three of them quietly left the back mountain on a big lion!
The sky is gradually brightening, and there are more and more pedestrians in the Haotian Royal Academy. After seeing the big fiery red lion and the three familiar figures on it, everyone watched them with incomparable admiration towards the academy gate. Go in the direction of wind and electricity!
In the palace, Princess Huofeng led Xia Qinglian back to the princess hall, but Du Long followed a certain eunuch who had been waiting at the gate of the palace for a long time, and entered the main hall of the palace!
The emperor called Du Long into a pilgrimage. After graduating from the Haotian Royal Academy, ordinary people had no chance to be seen by the emperor. Not only did Du Long have the status of a son-in-law, but because of his outstanding achievements, he made a sensation all over the world. It is not surprising that he was seen alone!
"Xuan! Du Long's Consort-in-Law has an audience!"
After waiting outside the main hall for a while, he heard a shrill call from the hall. After finishing his clothes, Du Long strode into the gate of the main hall.
Hundreds of civil and military officials on the left and right faced each other, but Du Long didn't take it seriously. His steps were not chaotic at all, so he calmly came to stand ten meters below the dragon seat.
It was absolutely impossible for him to have such a perfect performance before his rebirth. After his rebirth, his strength improved and his confidence was rebuilt, so that he no longer had any fear of the former high court.
"The last general will see the emperor, may my emperor live forever, long live!" Du Long knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and gave the emperor on the Dragon Throne a military post and said with a big salute.
"Hehe, Hurry up and flatten your son-in-law Du!" On the dragon seat, the emperor looked at his son-in-law with a smile on his face and said.
Calling him by the son-in-law instead of the military title of the captain of Xiaoqi is obviously a gesture by the emperor to get closer to Du Long!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Du Long saluted politely before standing up.
"Come here! Pass the decree!" The emperor ordered with a smile on his face, still looking at Du Long.
An eunuch who had been standing beside the emperor immediately stepped out, came to stand in front of Du Long, and then opened a golden imperial decree in public and said loudly: "Mr. Du! Come forward and listen!"
Du Long could only kneel on one knee again, and respectfully said: "The last general will accept the order!"
"The emperor's decree! Attached to Ma Dulong! At the age of 18, he has successfully broken through to reach the strength of Qihai level, and has achieved excellent results in various assessments of the Haotian Royal Academy! Hereby, he is promoted to the fourth rank of Xiaoqi Zhonglang General, allow him to build a cavalry army of more than 50,000 and less than 100,000! Thank you!" In front of the dragon seat, the eunuch announced the emperor's promotion intention for Du Long.
"My humble minister, thank you, Majesty Long En!" This time Du Long was no longer in a daze, and thanked him on the spot and stood up.
His head is sober, and other civil and military officials are not so sober. The fourth-rank military general who is only 18 years old, if calculated according to the military ranks of earthlings, he is already a colonel-level officer!
Soon someone expressed dissatisfaction with this, and a spokesman for the Fan family stood up on the spot and said loudly: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, Concubine Du has no military achievements at all. It’s not right, now I’ve been promoted to two ranks in a row, skipping the military rank of the fourth rank, and directly promoted to the fourth rank, it’s really inappropriate! I’m afraid it will make the officers and soldiers dissatisfied!”
"Your Majesty! I also believe that this case should not be dismissed lightly, otherwise, it will be difficult to convince the public!"
"I also object to this promotion being too rash..."
In the court, one after another people stood up to express their opposition. These people were all officials who supported the Fan family. With a faint smile on Du Long's face, he watched these people perform there like a bystander. .
"Your Majesty! I know that you dote on His Royal Highness Princess Huofeng, love Wu as well as Wu, and take care of Consort Du in every possible way. This is also human nature! But military promotion is always based on military merit. Feng Jin, it's really unfair! The humble minister is also dissatisfied!" Finally, the old fox Fan De couldn't help but stand up and take the lead!
Seeing that the old fox finally got on the horse in person, the emperor sat up straight and said in a deep voice: "You guys have said so much, I just want to ask, based on Du Long's good grades in the Haotian Royal Academy, if he accepts the offer from other empires?" Invitation, can I get a fourth-rank military position?!"
The emperor's words left all the Fan officials speechless on the spot, that's right! Based on Du Long's performance, he is likely to successfully break through and reach the spiritual level in the near future!
Coupled with his talent in military training, if other empires want to win him over, they must at least give him an official rank above the fourth rank to impress him, right? !
With a playful smile in his eyes, the emperor glanced at the officials of the Fan family who had nothing to say, and finally said: "Okay! The imperial decree about Du Long has been promulgated, and this matter is settled! No one should have any further objections! Otherwise, go to Dali Temple and plead guilty for offending the emperor!"
So far, it is a foregone conclusion for Du Long to be promoted to the fourth-rank Xiaoqi Zhonglang general. The fourth-rank Zhonglang general, also known as quasi-general, is a necessary step to be promoted to the chief general of the Hundred Thousand Legion!
The emperor allowed Du Long to build an army of 50,000 to 100,000 horses. In fact, he had already been placed in the position of the chief general of the reserve army!
"Your Majesty! Since you must promote Consort Du to be a fourth-rank Zhonglang general, then the ministers have nothing to say, but how can a regular fourth-rank Zhonglang general have the right to build an army of 50,000 to 100,000 people? You know, The 100,000 Legion is only qualified to be established by a third-rank general!" Fan De made a fuss about this issue again, loudly opposing the emperor's will.
As soon as he opened his mouth, a large number of Fan Department officials followed immediately, and they all expressed their opposition to this will!
"Okay! Let me explain!" The emperor waved his hand, and immediately said loudly: "This time, Concubine Du's talent in military training has shocked me, I believe everyone here can feel the same way, right?!
In order to make better use of Concubine Du's talent in military training, after some discussions with my father, I finally decided to set up a special experimental army, led by Concubine Du!
Both me and the old father hope that one day in the future, this experimental army, under the leadership of Consort Du, will have an outstanding performance that will impress the world, and will make a great contribution to the safety of the empire! "
So far, since even the old emperor has been brought out, many officials of the Fan family will no longer stand up and talk nonsense. Once the old and new emperors agree, if the people below dare to object, it will be ill-intentioned.
If you directly convict you of treason, you will probably have nothing to say!
