At the entrance of the valley.
"Someone from the royal family?"
Su Tang looked at the Fourth Prince with a complicated expression.
As a citizen of the Second Empire, his blood seemed to be engraved with reverence for the royal family. He almost knelt down.
But at the same time, he thought of hatred.
Back then, the Su family was involved in the case of the royal family and was almost punished to the point of extinction.
Because of that, he and his sister were exiled to Fufeng and almost lost their lives.
"Brother, please pass on the message."
The Fourth Prince was asking for help, so he was very polite. He signaled with his eyes and the young eunuch next to him gave him a magical artifact.
As a red packet for his doorman, a magical artifact was not a small amount. It even seemed to be rich and overbearing.
"Sir, please wait a moment …"
Su Tang almost wanted to throw away the magical artifact in his hand. But thinking that these people came to look for Su Daozhi, they might really have something important to do. He replied reluctantly, "I'll pass on the message."
The Fourth Prince waited with a smile without any impatience.
A moment later, Su Tang walked out. "Let's go … I'll bring you to the Huifeng Hall!"
…
In the Huifeng Hall.
"Greetings, Young Master Su!"
The Fourth Prince bowed deeply to Chung Shen-soo when he saw him.
"Haha, Fourth Prince, you don't have to be so courteous … I was forced to use Shen-soo as my title. I was a little deceitful. Please don't blame me, Fourth Prince."
Chung Shen-soo sat cross-legged and said casually.
Su Tang and Su Wei who were standing at the side were a little stunned.
Although they knew this young man was from the royal family, they did not expect him to be the Fourth Prince!
"I didn't expect you to be from the Su family either."
The Fourth Prince bowed again and took an imperial edict from the young eunuch next to him.
The edict was made of bright jade with bright yellow embroidery on the surface. It was covered with auspicious clouds and two coiling dragons. It was three feet long and one foot wide.
It was the imperial edict of the Second Empire!
"There's a decree …"
The Fourth Prince obviously had no intention of making Chung Shen-soo kneel down to receive the imperial edict. He began to read to himself, "The imperial edict states: The case of the Su family in Luozhou has been investigated and found to be a grievance. It shall be ordered that the grievances be cleared. The ancestral home and clan property shall be returned. The members of the Su family shall be recalled. They shall be rewarded with ten thousand mu of fertile land and a thousand taels of gold … Li Panwen and Huang Longzun have framed and framed others. They shall be imprisoned for their crimes. Three clans shall be implicated.
Chung Shen-soo didn't feel anything when he heard that.
Back then, the Su family had really been implicated in the case of the prince's rebellion. It could be said that they deserved it. Now that the injustice had been cleared, it was a little funny.
However, this was the way of the world. The winner was the king, and the loser was the thief. Strength was everything. There was nothing much to say.
As for the so-called Li Panwen, Huang Longzun, and the others, they were probably the administrative officers back then. Now that they had been killed by their master, they came to express their goodwill to him.
Chung Shen-soo couldn't be bothered to bicker with them.
As for the emperor's death, where did the imperial edict come from?
Naturally, it was from the joint efforts of the royal family and the court. It was impossible to not do anything once the emperor was dead.
Facing an existence that had the potential to become an Undead Immortal, no one would object to this kind of thing. It would only make others feel disgusted.
If the old emperor was still alive, this matter might not be easy to handle. After all, everyone wants face, especially the emperor. He would rather the whole world be in the wrong than admit that he was wrong … But it's okay. After they die, there will naturally be people to set things right. This is also a kind of political wisdom …
Chung Shen-soo smiled slightly and took the imperial edict from the prince's hands. "I accept the edict and thank you."
This calm attitude made the little eunuch at the side secretly shocked, but there was nothing he could do.
The other party was a Primordial Soul expert. His lifespan might be longer than a dynasty. If he said that he wouldn't give face, then he really wouldn't. What could he do?
Now that he was willing to say some polite words, it was already quite good.
Chung Shen-soo casually handed the imperial edict to Su Wei, who was beside him. The girl's eyes were red. She knelt on the ground with her brother and kowtowed to Fufeng. "Father, Mother … Did you see this? The Su family has finally been cleansed of their grievances … "
"The Su family has been cleansed of their grievances. This is truly worthy of celebration!"
The Fourth Prince smiled and took out another imperial edict. "Why don't we … add some flowers to the brocade?"
He immediately read, "The imperial edict says: Su Daozhi has accomplished his Dao, calmed the enemy, and killed the barbarians … He has done meritorious deeds for the country. He is specially conferred the title of Perfected Lord, Dong Hua!"
"Congratulations, Young Master. This title of Perfected Lord is extremely honorable, and it is even more rare for a Primordial Soul to be conferred …"
The Fourth Prince's face was full of smiles. There was even some anxiety in his eyes, as though he was afraid that Chung Shen-soo would not accept the imperial edict.
Is the court trying to rope me in?
Hmm, that's right. After all, I have grown up, and I have not become enemies with the court … As for the Taishang Longhu Sect? It has already holed up and sealed its mountain gate. The biggest obstacle has also disappeared … "
Is the court's move a prelude to completely separating from the Taishang Longhu Sect and turning to other sects?
Perfected Lord Dong Hua, only two words as a title. That's normal, just a little stingy. However, the word 'Dong Hua' suits me very well!
Throughout history, the more words a Perfected Lord had, the more honorable it was.
For example, Dharmakaya Perfected Lord, Qingwei Daomiao, Taiping Guangmiao, and so on were all four words.
Primordial Soul Perfected Lord, the two words were actually similar.
It just seemed a little stingy. Chung Shen-soo could even guess what would happen next. For example, when there was a joyous occasion, or the next reward, he could add two or four words, such as' Qingyuan ',' Longhu ',' Supreme ', and so on. It would be a generous reward.
All in all, it was full of tricks.
He purposely stopped, and as expected, the Fourth Prince's expression became even more urgent. He said, "Also, after being conferred the title of Perfected Lord, you can enter the Royal Dharma Treasury and read all the Taoist books in the world …"
"Oh? Royal Dharma Treasury? "
Chung Shen-soo smiled, and his interest was piqued.
When the Second Empire was at its peak, it was natural for it to collect all the Taoist arts in the world.
It might even have the Dharmakaya arts of the three sects of Taoism!
Chung Shen-soo was just feeling sorry for the Taiping Sect's Dharmakaya path, and he did not expect to find a remedy.
Since they were all acquaintances, he accepted the imperial edict. "If that's the case, I will be Perfected Lord Dong Hua …"
"Thank you, Perfected Lord!"
The Fourth Prince was overjoyed. This way, this newly joined Primordial Soul Perfected Lord would naturally be on his side.
After all, he was the one who came to read the imperial edict, and it already represented a major trend.
And in the fight for the throne, this would be a very important weight!
However, the Fourth Prince still felt a little insecure, and could not help but continue to probe, "Perfected Lord, you are not married yet? I have a sister who is fated to be with you. She is County Princess Qingyuan. She fell in love with you at first sight. I wonder if you are interested in her? "
Chung Shen-soo looked at the Fourth Prince, and his expression gradually became strange.
Is he going to pimp me?
