The Record of Righteousness

The hall is filled with fragrant mist, and several magnificent incense burners emit a refreshing fragrance, which makes people feel refreshed.

Golden dragons circle around, the magnificent pillars are carved with cloud patterns and auspicious dragons, and the dragon's eyes are inlaid with bright jewels and jade, as if they will rise into the sky at any time.

Above the palace, the emperor sat softly on the dragon chair and looked up at the ministers.

He is wearing a Gun dragon robe, with two groups of auspicious dragons embroidered in gold and dazzling colors. Compared with the false emperor, his dragon power can be said to be in the sky and on the earth.

He wears a Yishan crown on his head, with two golden dragons entwined behind the crown, with a solemn look. Behind the dragon chair is a large screen, on which nine dragons are coiled, flying in the sky, lifelike, and appear to be extremely luxurious and solemn.

The eunuchs and guards on the side stood upright, with a solemn atmosphere.

There were several courtiers standing on both sides of the court, densely packed with countless figures. They all stood upright holding wat tablets. In the center of the hall, there was a beautiful red carpet of auspicious clouds and flying dragons. The eunuch shouted shrilly:

"Xuan Liaodong Admiral Zhai Zongyao and all the heroes are here to meet him!"

Hearing the sound, Zhai Zongyao and his ministers walked into the court, neither humble nor arrogant, holding their heads high and chest high, stepping forward step by step, with a group of heroes who had suppressed the rebellion behind them.

He wore a black gauze on his head and a vermilion military attaché robe with a tiger descending from the mountain embroidered on the patch. He was already handsome and looked more upright and solemn at this time, less aggressive and more loyal and noble.

In addition to Liaodong Admiral Zhai Zongyao, the group of people who met the saints also included two chief military officers, five deputy chief military officers, thirteen deputy generals, and twenty staff generals of the Liaodong Shu army...

As well as Daqing, the official of the Shandong General Army, Wang Hao, a thousand households in Dongchang and Shandong Supervisory Army, two deputy generals of Shandong, five lieutenants including Zhang Lingchong, ten generals including Long Shuo, and hundreds of households in Dongchang Wan Qing and other people who have made great contributions.

Even though there were more than 60 people pouring into the court, it was not crowded at all, and it was still so spacious.

Everyone, with their robes neatly dressed and their beards neatly trimmed, bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, then fell down on the ground and shouted in unison:

"I have an audience with Your Majesty. Long live my Emperor!"

The emperor said slowly:

"Everyone loves you."

All the ministers expressed their gratitude to the Emperor for his kindness, climbed up from the blanket, and thanked him in unison:

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Wan Qing was in the center of the queue of heroes. When he stood up, he quietly raised his head and glanced at the emperor who was three feet away.

The emperor's beard is quite lush and he looks to be in his forties or fifties. His face is slender and average-looking, but his earlobes are exceptionally warm and thick.

Wan Qing thought carefully and said:

Is this the emperor who was ordered by heaven, the emperor who rules the world and is powerful all over the world?

Looking at his appearance, it turns out that his appearance is extraordinary, and he is more powerful than a dragon, far more powerful than anyone else!

However, no matter how the emperor is ordered by heaven, if you look closely at his roots, he is still an ordinary man. How can he be associated with gods?

The world's rich and powerful, civil and military officials, and ordinary people all kneel at the feet of the emperor. The world is so big that they all belong to the emperor's family. I don't know what it is like to be an emperor?

I don’t know how satisfying it is to see the civil and military ministers who bow to me three times and nine times and kowtow to me all day long, being respected and feared by thousands of people, and giving orders as they please?

How great would it be if our family could sit on that dragon chair for a while?

When the emperor spoke, Wan Qing put away his eager heart and slowly lowered his head.

"This time we have defeated the White Lotus Sect with a great victory. You are all meritorious officials."

"Zhai Zongyao, you are the pillar of our court."

"Your Zhai family is full of talented people. They have guarded the border in Liaodong for many years. Now they have made extraordinary achievements. They have won my heart. It's good."

Zhai Zongyao lowered his head and replied loudly:

"Long live Hui, it is my duty to guard the border and defend the country. I am extremely frightened and dare not take on the role of pillar."

"My dear, you are a meritorious person, so don't be afraid."

The emperor glanced at the ministers, took a look, and said:

"I heard that the person who captured the false emperor alive was a young eunuch from Dongchang. Is this true? Where is he? Please stand up and let me take a look."

At this time, a young official in green robes, who was in his twenties and had a white face and no beard, came out. He responded respectfully:

"Long live the return, I am the little eunuch from Dongchang."

"Hey, why are you so young? What's your name?"

The eunuch replied:

"Long live Hui, my surname is Wan, and my last name is Qing."

The emperor nodded,

"Yeah Wanqing, what a good name."

"I heard that you are very good at martial arts?"

"Hui Banzai, I only know three punches and two kicks. My martial arts skills are frivolous and low-level. They are just tricks to deceive the world. Wanzai, don't listen to them."

The emperor chuckled and said curiously:

"Haha, I am so humble. I have several great warriors. I wonder if I can beat you with low martial arts skills."

Wan Qing said in fear:

"Long live my life, my martial arts skills are really low. I can't do anything in front of the masters. I don't dare to show off in front of His Majesty."

"How do you know if you haven't fought yet? Just fight in front of me and let me take a good look."

At this time, an old minister stood up and admonished:

"Long live Hui, swords and guns have no eyes. The health of your dragon body is important. If you are injured in the court, your death will not be enough to apologize!"

Several other veterans also advised him, and that was all the emperor did.

Wan Qing breathed a sigh of relief and secretly looked at the senior ministers. They were all at the top of the group. They were dressed in crimson official robes and looked upright. They were probably the ministers of the cabinet.

After the emperor asked the two of them, he also expressed his condolences to the other heroes. The ministers were frightened and moved to tears with gratitude.

Then the officials were promoted in the court. They were waiting for this moment, and they were eager to hear their names.
