Oh my god, can you play like this?

Huang Han originally thought that Gu Lanzhi, a young junior, would give some face to himself, the elder, but he really didn't expect that Gu Lanzhi would be so rude and ridicule him directly in front of everyone.

But what made people even more angry was that Huang Han couldn't do anything to Gu Lanzhi and could only endure it in frustration.

Even when he arrived at the court, Huang Han was still looking angry!

Gu Lanzhi had no time to deal with Huang Han, that jumping clown. He had been looking at the scenery all the way, and seeing how the imperial palace of this dynasty was different from the Forbidden City in his world.

Finally, the conclusion is that it is equally magnificent and splendid.

What annoyed Gu Lanzhi was that the Fifth Prince did not walk into the main hall honestly, but kept staying close to him, talking to him and introducing him to various buildings in the palace, which really delayed Gu Lanzhi's enjoyment of the scenery.

After all, he is the Fifth Prince, and Gu Lanzhi did not offend him directly.

Not only did Gu Lanzhi hate the Fifth Prince, the audience in the live broadcast room were also scolding the Fifth Prince, saying that he was annoying.

When he first walked into the palace, Gu Lanzhi deliberately slowed down his pace. He originally wanted to have more time to appreciate the scenery of the palace. But since the fifth prince came over, Gu Lanzhi walked very fast and almost rushed to the front of the team.

After Gu Lanzhi entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony and stood in his seat, the Fifth Prince left Gu Lanzhi's side, and Gu Lanzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

The left guard whispered in Gu Lanzhi's ear with amusement: "General, are you annoyed?"

Gu Lanzhi also replied in a low voice, "I'm almost fed up with it."

The left guard just laughed twice and stood back in his position.

"Kneel!" the eunuch shouted shrilly, interrupting the ministers who were talking in groups of two or three.

Everyone in the Hall of Supreme Harmony knelt down, and then the emperor walked into the Hall of Supreme Harmony and sat on the dragon throne.

"Stand up." The emperor's voice came, and everyone stood up.

"If you have something to report, please stand up. If not, please dismiss the court!" the eunuch shouted loudly.

This was Gu Lanzhi's first time attending court. He found this series of procedures very interesting, and the audience in the live broadcast room also watched it with gusto.

It’s just that the eunuch’s voice… made Gu Lanzhi’s ears feel a little uncomfortable.

He couldn't help but wonder, could a man's voice really become so shrill without that thing?

Before the ministers could start speaking, the emperor spoke first, "Come here, please allow General Gu to sit down."

This one sentence made all the ministers hold their breath.

This is the first time in this dynasty that someone has been granted a seat in the court!

It has only been a short time since Gu Lanzhi returned from the victorious battle. The emperor has already made exceptions twice for Gu Lanzhi. Once, he personally welcomed the general at the city gate, and now, he let Gu Lanzhi sit in the court.

Although Gu Lanzhi was not an ancient person, he also understood the rules of this world, so he quickly stepped out and knelt down.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. I have nothing to do and can stand during the court session."

"General, please take a seat. The imperial physician has told me about your injuries. Your wounds have not fully healed and you are weak due to excessive blood loss.

You are a meritorious official of my Dongshun Kingdom. Without the dedication of you and your family, there would be no peace and prosperity for me.

If the envoy from Xilin Kingdom had not arrived today, I would not have let you come to court now.

Don't worry, just sit down!"

Hearing this, Gu Lanzhi's heart skipped a beat.

To others, these words were a recognition of the Gu family’s efforts, but to Gu Lanzhi, they were a form of flattery!

In an era when imperial power is supreme, who dares to be above the emperor? Besides, which emperor would not be afraid of the general who holds the military power?

Doesn't the emperor mean that without the Gu family, there would be no Dongshun Kingdom and no emperor? Gu Lanzhi didn't dare to really agree with the emperor.

He immediately kowtowed to the emperor and said to express his loyalty: "I, a man of the Gu family, feel honored to serve your majesty in battle, and I swear to be loyal to your majesty until death without regrets."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and the smile on his face was very sincere.

Regardless of whether what the emperor said before was intended to test him, Gu Lanzhi had to be loyal at the first opportunity.

Gu Lanzhi was at the peak of his career, and if he showed even a little bit of arrogance, the Gu family would be doomed soon.

There are no major wars in Dongshun Kingdom now. How could Gu Lanzhi not understand the principle of putting away the bows when the birds are gone?

Even though the emperor can't do anything to the Gu family now, if Gu Lanzhi doesn't behave respectfully and show his loyalty quickly, things won't get better soon.

"General, please get up quickly. Don't you know how your body is doing? How could I not know your loyalty? Sit down!"

Several eunuchs placed a chair in Gu Lanzhi's seat and helped Gu Lanzhi up and sit on the chair.

The ministers in the court looked at this scene with different thoughts.

After that, the court officials gave their memorials, which made Gu Lanzhi feel a little drowsy.

This is not much different from a meeting at work, and the court officials who submit memorials also talk a lot of nonsense.

After finally waiting until there were no more memorials to be submitted, the emperor gave the eunuch a look, and the eunuch understood what he meant.

"The envoy from the Xuanxilin Kingdom is here to see you!" The sharp voice with a long tone startled Gu Lanzhi, who was about to fall asleep.

Gu Lanzhi calmed himself down and sat up straighter, waiting for the envoy from Xilin Kingdom to come to the palace.

The emperor asked Gu Lanzhi to come to court today just for this moment, so Gu Lanzhi had to pretend.

Five Xilin people walked steadily into the hall. Before the Xilin man in the lead saluted the emperor, he first turned his head to glance at the seated Gu Lanzhi and curled the corners of his mouth slightly.

Gu Lanzhi knew the man in the lead. He was the third prince of Xilin Kingdom. He had fought with this third prince on the battlefield before.

The third prince was stabbed through the shoulder by the original body at that time. If his subordinates had not fought desperately to snatch the third prince back, the third prince would probably have been killed by the original body a year ago.

Gu Lanzhi did not expect that the envoy from Xilin Kingdom this time would be the third prince.

"Di Meng, the third prince of Xilin Kingdom, greets His Majesty the King of Dongshun Kingdom."

The five people knelt on one knee, put their right fists on their left chests to salute the emperor. Xilin Kingdom is a grassland country, and their way of saluting is different from that of Dongshun Kingdom.

The emperor did not ask them to stand up immediately. Instead, he hesitated for a while before speaking, "Stand up."

After Di Meng and others stood up, Di Meng took the letter of credence from the person behind him, bent down and placed his hands on his head, and the eunuch beside the emperor handed the letter of credence to the emperor.

The emperor first read the letter and confirmed that the conditions written in it were the ones that had been communicated before. Then he signed it and stamped it with the jade seal.

In fact, the envoys from Xilin Kingdom came just for the sake of formality. If the conditions were not negotiated in advance, Gu Lanzhi and his men would not have withdrawn their troops.

"Since you are in Dongshun Country, let the people from Honglu Temple take you around Kyoto City."

"Thank you, His Majesty Emperor Dongshun. Di Meng has another wish this time. I wonder if His Majesty will allow it?"

"Oh? What's your wish? Tell me."

The emperor would soon receive various compensations from the Xilin Kingdom, so he was in a good mood and didn't mind hearing Di Meng's wish.

"I wonder if His Majesty the Emperor would agree to a marriage alliance with Simon?"

"Marriage?" The emperor felt unhappy when he heard this, mainly because Xilin was a defeated country, yet they still had the nerve to want a marriage?

Besides, the emperor doesn't have a princess of the right age to marry to Xilin! Even if there is one, he can't let the princess marry the defeated country!

But Di Meng didn't care what the emperor thought. He boldly turned his gaze to Gu Lanzhi who was sitting on the chair.

"After Di Meng saw General Gu on the battlefield, he could never forget General Gu's heroic figure, so Di Meng's lifelong wish is to marry General Gu!"
