Chung Geng Sheng said that he would enter the palace after waking up. Of course, he couldn't really sleep until late in the morning.
It was still three in the morning, and the sky was still dark. He pulled Jiang Wang and hurried into the palace.
King Qi was old, but he was still diligent in his governance.
Before Yuanfeng, King Qi usually had a court session every ten days or even every twenty days.
Since he ascended the throne, he had a court session almost every day and only had one day off every ten days. He had been doing this for 54 years!
He was also a diligent king.
Ziji Palace was the court session hall.
In front of Ziji Palace, there was a pavilion called Donghua.
King Qi usually sat in the dragon carriage and rested there for a while before entering the hall for the court session.
Of course, King Qi didn't need to rest, but this was already a habit and etiquette. It was not easy to change. In more than 50 years of sitting in the court, King Qi was used to receiving some information about the court session in advance at this time.
Chung Geng Sheng and Jiang Wang waited in Donghua Pavilion.
Chung Geng Sheng was the son of an aristocratic family, but at the same time, he was also a commoner. Jiang Wang was just a man from Qingyang Town.
Just the qualification to wait here cost Chung Geng Sheng a lot of resources. The cost of this could scare a lot of people to death.
As for whether the request for an audience could be delivered to King Qi or not, that was another matter.
Whether King Qi was willing to see him or not was another matter.
As for what happened before, Jiang Wang only knew about it when he arrived.
The person guarding Donghua Pavilion today was a famous scholar from Qingya Academy, Li Zhengshu!
His other identity was more obvious. He was Li Longchuan's uncle.
Li Longchuan's biological father, Li Zhengyan, was the legitimate son of Dowager Li. He was the current Marquis Guicheng. Li Zhengshu was the eldest son of a concubine and couldn't inherit the title. However, he was dedicated to studying and was now a famous scholar.
Of course, in Qi's succession, the legitimate son was a very important criterion, but it wasn't the only criterion.
For example, in Marquis Bowang's Mansion, the old Marquis didn't consider his sons at all. He directly chose his grandson as the heir, and no one could question it.
…
Qi Jun was sitting in Donghua Pavilion as usual. Li Zhengshu, who was on duty today, said a few words to Qi Jun before handing him a book.
It was the brief information that he thought Qi Jun would definitely see after screening. This was his right to guard Donghua.
This was a great power, and it would be very useful if used well.
Therefore, guarding Donghua Pavilion was a great honor. There was an unwritten but well-known title, which was Dong Hua Scholar.
The low-ranking official of Donghua Pavilion had already reported to him that Chung Geng Sheng and the others were outside the pavilion requesting an audience.
One could imagine the price the little fatty had to pay for an official to take the risk and spread the news to his ears.
He had heard about the conflicts among the younger generation in the Junggenjia, but he had never commented on it. The younger generation had their own world, and at his level, they had their own circle.
At this moment, the little fatty was waiting outside Donghua Pavilion. Whether he would speak or not was up to him. No one could blame him for this. Even Qi Jun himself had nothing to say.
Li Zhengshu thought for a while and said in a low voice, "The young man from the Junggenjia, Chung Geng Sheng, is outside the pavilion requesting an audience."
Zhongxuan Sheng had given the Bow Mound Mountain to Li Longchuan just for this moment!
The priceless Bow of Mound Mountain was in exchange for this sentence.
This was Chung Geng Sheng's gamble!
"Chung Geng Sheng?" Qi Jun stopped flipping through the book and thought for a while. "Oh, the Son of Buddha Tu."
The topic was already a little dangerous, but he couldn't pretend not to know about the Bow of Mound Mountain that his nephew Li Longchuan loved so much.
Li Zhengshu held his breath for two breaths before saying, "In the previous Battle of Destruction of the Sun, it was Chung Geng Sheng who led the troops to behead Ji Cheng. This time, Jiang Wang, who accompanied him, took the flag of the Sky Hero Ji Clan."
"Oh. Not bad. "Qi Jun nodded slightly." What is the purpose of this audience? "
"Zhengshu doesn't know. However … "Li Zhengshu reported honestly." Recently, two young men from the Junggenjia are vying for the position of clan leader. There has been a bit of a storm in Linzi. "
Qi Jun's face was expressionless, but he asked, "One of them is that Jung Genzun who 'stole the limelight of his peers'?"
"I didn't expect that the words of a fortune teller would enter Your Majesty's ears."
Li Zhengshu's words contained a hint of remonstrance.
But Qi Jun only waved his hand. "Didn't my son Wuxie lose to the disciple of the War God, Wang Yiwu? Didn't that Wang Yiwu say that he is inferior to Jung Genzun? "
Li Zhengshu thought to himself, "Your son Wuyong also lost to Jiang Wang." Of course, he knew that Jiang Wuyong wasn't valued at all. Qi Jun probably couldn't even be bothered to pay attention to this fourteenth prince.
Although he thought to himself, he said with a straight face, "That's just Wang Yiwu's self-modesty. In terms of cultivation state, Jung Genzun is naturally in the lead. However, the last disciple of the War God has broken the limit of the Reaching Heaven State and engraved his name into the milestone of cultivation. It's an honor for me, Da Qi. "
"The path of cultivation is changing with each passing day. Today will always be better than the past. Limits are meant to be broken. Sooner or later, they will be broken again. "Qi Jun's words were understated, but they had a grandeur that surpassed everything.
Then he changed the topic. "I didn't want to meet the Son of the Buddha Tu. But perhaps old people are stubborn. Since this Jung Genzun is so powerful, I want to see if he will come crying because he can't beat him. "
He looked at Li Zhengshu and glanced at the frost on his temples. "Yu Langjun, do you think it's better to meet him or not?"
When Li Zhengshu was young, his charm covered the entire country. He was known as Yu Langjun.
Qi Jun addressed him this way to get close to him.
However, Li Zhengshu didn't show any signs of arrogance. He only said, "It's up to you whether you want to meet him or not."
"You're too restrictive." Qi Jun thought for a moment and waved his hand. "Let's announce the meeting."
…
When the eunuch finished announcing the verbal order, Chung Geng Sheng ran away without another word. Jiang Wang followed closely behind.
Because they had to go to court at five in the morning, they didn't have much time to prepare for the meeting.
Magic was forbidden in the palace. For someone of Chung Geng Sheng's size, it was very difficult for him to run.
He couldn't care less about the impoliteness in front of the palace. He ran into the pavilion, panting.
Jiang Wang was much more relaxed. However, he could only bow his head obediently and didn't dare to do anything else. He couldn't even see the decorations in Donghua Pavilion clearly.
Usually, people wouldn't kneel in front of the emperor unless it was an important occasion, even if it was an official meeting the emperor.
They were all standing at the moment, but their heads were very low. They didn't dare to look directly at Qi Jun.
They could only see a corner of a purple dragon robe from the corner of their eyes. There was also a Confucian robe hanging by the side. It must be Li Zhengshu, or it could be someone else.
At this moment, they heard an old but majestic voice say, "Why are you still running when you've run so hard?"
It was Qi Jun's voice.
Jiang Wang's heart tightened. Qi Jun's words implied that it was hard for him to run and also that it was hard for him to chase after Jung Genzun. In the end, it would lead to the impoliteness of the emperor.
Accompanying the emperor was like being a tiger. He didn't know how Chung Geng Sheng would answer.
However, he heard Chung Geng Sheng take a deep breath and calm his breathing. Then, he replied respectfully, "It's hard for Your Majesty, so I don't think it's hard."
Qi Jun snorted softly. There seemed to be a smile on his face. However, Jiang Wang didn't know him well and couldn't understand his emotions.
"You're obviously working hard for yourself. How can you say it's for me?"
Chung Geng Sheng's voice became more respectful. "The affairs of the world are Your Majesty's family affairs. Although Chung Geng Sheng is not yet twenty, I still think about the affairs of the world. How can I not be working hard for Your Majesty when I worry about the world? "
