Chapter 135: Titled Champion!
The emperor watched Huo Yun'an walk in step by step, his eyes were a little sore, but his heart was full of pride!
"What a great Huo Yun'an! What a young general!"
"Huo Yun'an has made great contributions and shall be named Marquis of Champion!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent.
All the civil and military officials looked at the emperor in shock.
A moment later, someone immediately knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty! Although Huo Yun'an has made great contributions, his father is already the Marquis of Zhenbei. Isn't it too much to confer him a marquisate?"
Another man also quickly knelt, "Your Majesty! Champion Marquis is a super-first-class rank. Since the founding of Great Yong, there has only been one Champion Marquis. Huo Yun'an is still young. If we confer the title of Champion Marquis now, won't there be no more titles to be accorded to him in the future?"
"Your Majesty, Huo Yun'an has made great contributions, so you should reward him with lots of gold, silver, and jewelry. The title of Champion Marquis is too valuable, and Huo Yun'an is so young, I'm afraid he won't be able to convince the public, Your Majesty!"
More and more ministers knelt on the ground, all begging the emperor to revoke his order.
The emperor looked at them, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his expression became more and more ugly.
"I never knew that there would be people like you in my court."
"When we are sharing the country's worries and winning glory for the country, we can't see you."
"Now I want to reward my meritorious officials, but you all jump out to obstruct me. Where do you get the nerve to do that?"
Being called shameless by the emperor in public, these people felt unhappy and their faces were red, but they still did not change their original intention.
"We are only here to help His Majesty!"
"We are all waiting for Dayong!"
"Huo Yun'an is still young, and he will naturally have the opportunity to make great contributions in the future. If he achieves great merit one day, it will not be too late to confer a title on him, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, please think twice!"
A group of people knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily.
It seemed that as long as the emperor did not agree to their request, they would not get up.
Seeing this, Huo Yun'an's face turned red with anger.
If he hadn't known that he couldn't act recklessly in the wilderness, he would have rushed up and fought these people to the death.
While his elder brother was using all his tricks and scheming to win the game for Dayong, they were sitting on the podium and could not help at all.
If his elder brother lost, he might be blamed by them.
But now that his elder brother has won, they still want to suppress the emperor and prevent him from rewarding his elder brother.
These people are simply, simply going too far!
Yu Youning blinked her eyes, full of confusion, "What kind of title is Champion Marquis?"
Chu Huaixu explained in a low voice, "The Champion Marquis is a super-first-class existence, a supreme honor. Going above that, one can only enclose land and be crowned a king."
Yu Youning seemed to understand what he heard, "What does that have to do with these people? Are they afraid that Brother Huo will be crowned king in the future and take away their land?"
"They don't deserve it." Chu Huaixu sneered, "They just can't stand seeing Huo Yun'an, at such a young age, towering over them. This will clearly show their incompetence."
"So that's how it is!" Yu Youning suddenly realized, "Look at how I see them now, they are quite incompetent."
"Youning is right." Chu Huaixu nodded.
Sooner or later, he will replace all this junk.
With people like them stirring up trouble and manipulating power in the court of Dayong, how can Dayong be strong?
The emperor's face was gloomy. "Are you trying to force me to compromise?"
The kneeling officials trembled in unison, "Your humble servants dare not."
"That's good." The emperor sneered, "My mind is made up! It won't change!"
Huo Yun'an then slowly knelt down and said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty, I accept your command and thank you!"
"Get up!"
The emperor looked at Huo Yun'an with satisfaction, then looked coldly at the official still kneeling on the ground. He stood up without saying a word and went straight back to the palace.
Only after the emperor left did the ministers slowly stand up from the ground.
They looked at each other, each with a bitter look on their face.
They risked offending Huo Yun'an by advising the emperor, and almost said that the Huo family might become more powerful than the emperor.
But the emperor was unwilling to revoke his order and still conferred the title of Marquis of Guanjun on Huo Yun'an.
This time, they not only offended the emperor, but also Huo Yun'an. They were in a bad situation.
While they were still debating whether to say a few nice words to Huo Yunan, Huo Yunan had already turned and left.
A group of officials watched Huo Yun'an walk towards the prince, looked at each other, and could only leave anxiously.
Lin Yan also left with everyone.
He was also the one who just knelt down and begged the emperor to revoke his decision.
He didn't want to kneel, but his superiors had already knelt. If he didn't kneel, he would definitely be in trouble in the future.
He just hoped that with so many people kneeling on the ground, Huo Yunan didn't notice him.
Huo Yun'an is about the same age as Lin Yu, but Huo Yun'an is already a Super First-Rank Marquis, while Lin Yu...
Thinking about how Lin Yu always went out early and came back late recently and he could not be seen at all, Lin Yan became furious.
It was because he had spoiled Lin Yu too much in the past that Lin Yu grew up to be so unskilled in both literature and martial arts.
We can’t let Lin Yu go anymore!
If you want to revitalize the Lin family and regain the title, you can only rely on Lin Yu!
...
Huo Yun'an strode up to Yu Youning and the others, bowed to Chu Huaixu first, and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Chu Huai raised his hand, "You are too polite, Champion Marquis."
Huo Yun'an's cheeks flushed slightly, and he felt a little embarrassed. "Your Highness, please stop teasing me."
"This isn't a joke." Chu Huaixu shook his head. "It took Dayong fifteen years to finally win. You certainly deserve credit for this. There's no need to be so modest!"
"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Youning Qingchen hadn't won the first match together, our victory in this one would have been meaningless."
"Alright, alright, this is indeed the result of our joint efforts, so there's no need to be so humble and compliment each other. Youning and Huo Qingchen are still young, so there's no way they can be rewarded, so naturally they can only be given to you. Don't feel uneasy, just accept it calmly.
As for the four people who are with you, the Emperor will also reward them, so they can rest assured."
Huo Yun'an bowed again and said, "On behalf of the four of them, I would like to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first. I will take my leave now."
"Brother, wait a minute!" Huo Qingchen suddenly said, "I'll go with you!"
Huo Yun'an looked at Huo Qingchen strangely.
In the past, when Huo Qingchen, Yu Youning and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were together, they always stayed together until the party was over and didn’t go home. What happened today?
Although he felt strange, seeing Huo Qingchen's determined expression, he agreed and said, "Let's go!"
Yu Youning watched Huo Qingchen walk away, then asked curiously, "Huo Qingchen is so weird! What's wrong with him?"
Chu Huaixu felt the same way, but he didn't know what was wrong with Huo Qingchen.
Wen Xiangli hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his guess, "I think he has come to his senses."
"What did you realize?" Yu Youning said, turning his head to look at Wen Xiangli.
Being stared at by Yu Youning, Wen Xiangli became a little nervous. He took a deep breath and then slowly said, "Just now, we analyzed the situation on the field thoroughly and discussed it eloquently, but he didn't understand anything. He felt uncomfortable."
Yu Youning blinked, "Those contestants from Xiliang and Nanzhao didn't understand it either!"
"That's because they're in the thick of it, so naturally they can't see things as clearly as us outsiders. But Huo Qingchen is also an outsider, so he can't understand or imagine it at all. I think he should study hard and practice martial arts in the future."
"That's a good thing!" Yu Youning felt relieved instantly.
Isn’t it just deciding to study hard? That’s a good thing!
Looking at Yu Youning's brilliant smile, Wen Xiangli stopped talking.
He had another guess in his mind, but he wasn't very sure, so he decided not to say it for now!
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Chu Huaixu looking at me with a meaningful look in his eyes.
The two of them just looked at each other for a moment before looking away.
But Wen Xiangli knew that the prince should have thought of it too.
Yu Youning didn't notice the eye contact between the two.
Today's competition is over, and classes at the Imperial College will begin tomorrow. Her happy life is about to end!
Since we only have this one afternoon left, we must have fun!
Yu Youning immediately looked at Chu Huaixu, "Prince, is there anything else fun to do in the capital?"
Chu Huaixu thought for a moment and said, "The scenery of Luoting Mountain outside the capital is very beautiful. There are many temples on the mountain. Among them, Famen Temple is located at the top of the mountain and is very popular. We can go and see it."
“What’s so good about the temple…”
“The vegetarian food there is also famous far and wide.”
"Let's go!" Yu Youning immediately changed his tone, "Let's go now and come back after having the vegetarian meal!"
"It might be too late to go back and forth in one afternoon," Wen Xiangli said softly.
Yu Youning looked at Chu Huaixu eagerly, but Chu Huaixu waved his hand and said, "Nothing. I'll ask Zhu Xuezheng for leave. It will be the same if I come back tomorrow afternoon."
"marvelous!"
Yu Youning cheered and jumped up.
"Then let's call Huo Qingchen and Wei Zhao, and bring Monk Nian Yi with us!"
Although Huo Qingchen may have decided to study hard and practice martial arts, it doesn't matter if he waits for a day or two. He can still study hard the day after tomorrow!
Since Chu Huaixu would not let Yu Youning down, he immediately sent someone to invite the other three.
Yu Tingwan and Wen Shiyan were standing not far away watching them and heard their conversation clearly.
Yu Youning had just walked over and was about to hug Yu Tingwan's legs and act coquettishly, but Yu Tingwan gently touched her head and said, "Go if you want to. Be careful."
When the prince travels, he is surrounded by countless guards, both visible and hidden.
In addition, Teng Snake has been hanging on Yu Youning's wrist, so there is no need to worry about its safety.
Yu Youning was surprised at how easy it was for Yu Tingwan to talk to him, but he was still very happy.
"Mom is so nice! Youning loves mom the most!"
Wen Shiyan smiled and said, "What about Daddy?"
"Daddy is great too! Youning likes daddy the most!"
As soon as he said he liked me, he turned and ran away.
Yu Tingwan sighed silently, "This is probably the last time these little ones will get together. Let her be happy for two days!"
Wen Shiyan gently held Yu Tingwan's hand, "Life is about coming together and parting. Youning will understand this sooner or later."
