Chapter 19: Live up to His Majesty's Trust

Gu Lanzhi's guard of honor slowly approached, and the emperor walked down from the city wall and actually came out of the city gate to greet them.

In the hearts of the ancients, the emperor was the supreme being, and it had always been individuals who had to meet the emperor. Gu Lanzhi was the first in Dongshun Kingdom to come to the city gate to greet his subjects and personally welcome them out of the city gate like the emperor did!

The court officials watched the emperor coming out of the city gate, and they were shocked and filled with all kinds of thoughts.

Anyone who serves in the court can see that the emperor treats General Gu favorably. From now on, General Gu will become a favorite of the emperor.

With just one move from the emperor, the opinions of these court officials changed immediately.

The fifth prince who was following behind the emperor frowned even deeper.

The human heart is hard to predict, let alone these foxes in the court! The fifth prince has begun to regret getting close to Gu Shurui and regretting not clearing up those rumors in time.

If this makes Gu Lanzhi feel resentful, how can he plan for himself wholeheartedly and help him ascend to the throne in the future!

But the emperor's actions were indeed appreciated by the people.

Who in Dongshun Kingdom doesn’t know about the great achievements of the Gu family? Who doesn’t know that all the men of the Gu family died in battles just to protect the safety of the people of Dongshun Kingdom!

Therefore, in the eyes of the people of Dongshun Kingdom, as long as the Gu family is there, Dongshun Kingdom will have peace for a day, and the people all love the Gu family very much.

Now seeing that the emperor treats the Gu family with such courtesy, the people all feel that they have a good emperor.

The carriage stopped ten meters in front of the emperor. Mo Yi opened the curtain and Gu Lanzhi slowly walked out of the carriage.

A dark red and black outfit fit Gu Lanzhi perfectly, with his hair held up high with a crown. Combined with Gu Lanzhi's outstanding appearance, he caught everyone's attention as soon as he appeared, and exclamations came out of the people's mouths.

Who wouldn't be amazed by Gu Lanzhi's beauty?

Apart from Gu Lanzhi's pale face due to excessive blood loss, one could not tell from the outside that he was seriously injured.

The moment the Fifth Prince saw Gu Lanzhi's face, it was as if he saw someone walking out of a painting, and all other scenery pales in comparison.

Although the Fifth Prince had not met Gu Lanzhi many times, in the Fifth Prince's heart, Gu Lanzhi was very handsome, but not as stunning as he is now!

I don’t know what happened during these four years at the border that caused Gu Lanzhi to transform into such an extraordinary and stunning person.

The wounds on Gu Lanzhi's body had not yet healed completely, so he moved slowly. With the help of Mo Yi, he slowly got off the carriage.

After standing still on the ground and taking a breath, he first straightened his clothes, then let go of Mo Yi's hand and walked slowly towards the emperor with an upright posture.

People in this world are generally not tall. The average height of men is a little over 1.7 meters, and the height of women is basically around 1.6 meters. It is rare to see women over 1.6 meters tall.

Men with Gu Lanzhi's physique are rarely taller than 1.7 meters.

Maybe because of his martial arts training or because of the Gu family's genes, Gu Lanzhi grew to be 1.78 meters tall. But compared to his brother and his father and uncle, Gu Lanzhi is still a little shorter. His two brothers who died in the battle were both over 1.80 meters tall!

It would not be an exaggeration to describe Gu Lanzhi as standing out from the crowd of chickens when he stood in front of these people.

Gu Lanzhi walked to within five steps of the emperor and stood still. He slowly knelt on the ground, holding the wound on his chest, and kowtowed to the emperor.

Although Gu Lanzhi is now a soul from another world, he must abide by the rules of this world when he comes to this world.

Even though Gu Lanzhi is now a general, he is not powerful enough to ignore the imperial power.

But his injuries had not healed yet. In order to show his respect for the emperor, he gritted his teeth and refused to let Mo Yi support him, and knelt down on his own.

Just by kneeling down, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Gu Lanzhi's forehead.

The audience in the live broadcast room were all very curious to see the real scene of meeting the emperor in ancient times, and they all watched with great interest.

They have been looking forward to this day. They all want to see what the ancient emperors looked like and what the ancient etiquette was like.

The emperor was dressed quite formally today, wearing a dragon robe and a jade crown. He was about forty or fifty years old, had no beard, and looked very majestic.

He must have been in a high position for many years, and he exudes a strong imperial aura.

"Your Majesty, I have lived up to your trust and fought hard with our army, and finally recovered all the lost territories..."

Before Gu Lanzhi finished speaking, the emperor stepped forward and helped Gu Lanzhi up, saying, "General Gu, you not only took back our territory, you led our soldiers to capture several cities of the enemy country!

Do you know how worried I was when I heard that you were seriously injured? How are you now? "

At this time, the live broadcast room had already started to quarrel.

“Why didn’t the emperor stop the anchor before he knelt down?”

"Yes! If he had stopped the anchor from kneeling, the anchor wouldn't have to be in so much pain that his head would be covered in cold sweats!"

"When kneeling, just watch the anchor kneel, why are you pretending to help him?"

"This is ancient times. It is etiquette for subjects to kneel before the emperor. Kneeling is a must. The emperor will help the general as an emperor to show his closeness to him."

"That's right! This is ancient times, not modern times. You can't use modern standards to measure ancient people."

"In modern times, people are said to be equal. Was it the same in ancient times? Besides, we are saying that everyone is equal every day, but have we really achieved equality for everyone? How can we ask the backward ancients to do the same thing that we have not achieved after so long of development?"

"That's right! That's absolutely right!"

"In ancient times, people were divided into different social classes. The emperor was the emperor and the subjects were the subjects. Kneeling before the emperor was a must."

"Oh my! I really feel sorry for the anchor. Look at how pale her little face is. It must be so painful!"

"Hehe...the anchor is so handsome, lick the screen, shashasha!"

Gu Lanzhi didn't have the time to watch the live broadcast comments at this time. Not only did he have to endure the pain in his body, but he also had to deal with the emperor!

The emperor only gave Gu Lanzhi a slight support, mainly to prevent Gu Lanzhi from kneeling.

But at such a solemn moment, Mo Yi couldn't go forward to help Gu Lanzhi. Gu Lanzhi had to kneel down and stand up by himself, and the pain made Gu Lanzhi sweat more on his forehead.

"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission." Gu Lanzhi's face turned even paler, and his words were not as powerful as before.

The emperor looked at Gu Lanzhi's pale face and cold sweat, frowned and said: "I received news that your life was hanging by a thread, and then I heard that you have woken up, just take good care of yourself.

But now looking at your appearance, your wounds must not have healed yet. Go back home quickly and have a good rest.

When I came here, I brought the imperial physician with me. I will let the imperial physician return to your residence with you later. I will let the imperial physician treat you at your residence and return to the palace when you feel better."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." Just as Gu Lanzhi was about to salute the emperor, he was held back by the emperor.

"Why are you so polite when you are still injured? Just rest and recover. You can come to court when you are well again. All rewards will be discussed after you recover and come to court."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"You need some quiet time while you recover. If you have nothing else to do, just stay at home and take good care of yourself. Don't worry about anything else."

These words were not spoken to Gu Lanzhi but to all the court officials, meaning that no one was allowed to disturb Gu Lanzhi from recuperating.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Lanzhi didn't want anyone to disturb him. Now that the emperor said so, Gu Lanzhi was relieved.

"Alright, you are seriously injured, I won't say any more to you, just go back home."

"Farewell, Your Majesty." Gu Lanzhi bowed to the emperor. This time the emperor did not stop Gu Lanzhi from bowing.

The emperor entered the city with his court officials in a grand procession, and only then did the Gu family dare to meet Gu Lanzhi.
