Chapter 161 The Enchanting Consort's Invitation

When Lü Jin hosted a banquet for Zheng Qian, the news quickly spread among the court officials and the common people, and Zheng Qian's reputation soared to its peak.

"Commander Zheng is amazing! He actually managed to get the Emperor to host a banquet for him. That's incredible."

"If I had half the glory of Zheng Qian, I could die in peace."

"If you want to be as successful as Zheng Qian, you must first kill seven experts at the Fusion Spirit Realm with a single sword strike."

After a day of transport, rumors are circulating that Zheng Qian has slain seven experts at the Fusion Realm with a single sword strike. Given a few more days, there will be even more versions of the attack on the palace, and perhaps one will even depict him slaying seventy experts at the Fusion Realm with a single sword strike.

No matter how the story is told, there will always only be one main character: Zheng Qian.

Zheng Qian was not interested in Lu Jin's invitation to dinner. His dinner with Zhang Tiezhu and his group today was actually a farewell.

He will follow the path given to him by Ya Lan, roaming the world with his sword, seeking the way of martial arts.

Now they just wait for Zheng Le and his group to arrive in Yan City. Zheng Qian will tell them, and then head north to Guangxiang Kingdom to participate in the Heroes' Gathering, win first place, participate in the trials, go to Tianmai Sect to become Long Batian's disciple, and embark on the glorious path.

Led by Eunuch Deng, Zheng Qian arrived at the palace and met Lü Jin, who had been busy all day.

"Zheng Qian, come, sit down." Lu Jin showed no respect for the emperor, pulling Zheng Qian to sit down and continuing to speak.

"Take a look at these things, is there anything that needs to be added?"

Zheng Qian accepted the thick memorial, which was an imperial edict from Lü Jin praising him, bestowing upon him the title of Duke of Zhenguo, commanding the Xuanhu Army and the expanded Changwu Army of 100,000, and rewarding him with 10,000 taels of gold, etc. As long as Zheng Qian agreed, he would receive both official position and wealth.

"Your Majesty, I will not participate in politics, nor do I need your reward. I will leave Yan City in a few days to see the outside world."

Lu Jin opened his eyes wide in disbelief and slowly said, "Zheng Qian, Wuyan Kingdom cannot do without you, and you should not leave Wuyan Kingdom. If you don't like the position of Duke of Zhenguo, just say what official position you want, whether it is Prime Minister, Grand Tutor, or Grand Marshal of Zhenguo, it's all fine."

"I don't want an official position, I only hope the Emperor will grant me two requests?"

"I'll agree to anything as long as it's not something immoral or unethical."

"First, everyone should be equal, and the people should not be divided into different classes. Second, the land in the country should be redistributed, the hegemony of bureaucratic landlords should be overthrown, and every peasant should have land to cultivate, ensuring that they all have food to eat and clothes to wear."

Lu Jin smiled slightly and said, "You truly have the world at heart. These two conditions are beneficial to the country and its people, so of course I must agree. Moreover, I already had the Six Ministries compile the laws early this morning, and I believe they will be implemented soon."

Consort Mei had told him these two conditions before the siege; they were beneficial to the country and its people, so he naturally wouldn't refuse.

"On behalf of all the people, I thank Your Majesty." Zheng Qian bowed, and Lü Jin hurriedly reached out to pull Zheng Qian back.

"You're only making our relationship more distant, aren't you?" Lu Jin pretended to be unhappy, then continued mysteriously.

"Come with me, I have a surprise for you."

Zheng Qian followed Lü Jin through several palaces, then Lü Jin stopped outside the door and let Zheng Qian go in by himself. As soon as he entered, he saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face.

A beautiful, middle-aged woman, still possessing a youthful charm, embraced Zheng Qian with tears in her eyes and cried out.

"Gan'er".

Zheng Qian felt a warmth in his heart. The beautiful woman's love, which reached the depths of his soul, moved him deeply and warmed his heart. He couldn't help but call out.

"mother."

That's right, this person is Zheng Qian's mother, Zeng Yueyu.

After leaving Zeng Yueyu's embrace, Zheng Qian called out again, "Father, Big Brother, Little Sister."

Zheng Le couldn't hide his joy, but nodded with an air of authority, "Yes, very well done."

Zheng Qian's older brother, Zheng Quan, gave Zheng Qian a bear hug, saying, "Little brother, you're amazing."

Immediately afterwards, Zheng Qian's mischievous younger sister, Zheng Qingyi, punched Zheng Qian, saying, "I've been wanting to beat you for two years and make you call me 'Big Sister,' but I never expected you to reach the legendary Spirit Fusion Realm and become the number one expert in Wuyan Kingdom."

Zheng Qian is currently recognized as the number one expert in Wuyan Kingdom. He helped Lü Jin seize the throne, slaying the top talent Chu Jie with a single sword strike, and killing the Shadow Master with another. He is truly the number one expert in Wuyan.

"Haha, what are you thinking about all day? Whether I can beat you or not, I'm still the little sister. This order can't be messed up, or Mom will teach you a lesson."

"Hmph, who told you not to come with us? I've been worried about you all this time."

The family chatted happily, as if they had endless things to talk about. During the conversation, Zheng Qian learned that Lü Jin had sent someone on horseback the previous night to welcome Zheng Le's family into the palace, as a surprise for Zheng Qian.

Lü Jin was truly loyal and righteous; after obtaining the throne, he did not forget Zheng Qian, his benefactor.

As night fell, Lü Jin and Consort Mei arrived.

Zheng Le and his family bowed, saying, "Your subject greets Your Majesty."

Lu Jin waved his hand and said happily, "Today is a family banquet. We are all family members, and there is no distinction between ruler and subject."

There weren't many dishes, only eighteen, a typical family banquet. Each person sat at their own table, and each person had eighteen dishes.

Lu Jin said very casually, "Zheng Qian, I appoint you as the Imperial Preceptor, General Zheng as the Duke of Zhenguo, Zeng Yueyu as the Prince of the County, Zheng Quan as the Minister in charge of the Six Ministries, and Zheng Qingyi as the Princess Yiping. What do you think?"

"It is entirely up to Your Majesty to decide." Zheng Qian bowed respectfully. Lü Jin truly regarded him as a friend. He had previously offered to bestow upon him the title of Duke of Zhenguo, but after Zheng Qian refused, Lü Jin immediately appointed him as the Imperial Preceptor.

Wuyan Kingdom does not have the positions of Duke of Zhenguo or Grand Preceptor. These positions were newly created by Lü Jin for Zheng Qian. It can be said that he was deliberately giving Zheng Qian the green light, hoping that he would stay.

"Thank you for your great favor, Your Majesty." Zheng Le led Zheng Quan and the other three in bowing to express their gratitude. They were not as casual with Lü Jin as they were with Zheng Qian, and had to be careful in their words and actions.

Their positions are already the highest in Wuyan Kingdom. Now they only need to do their job well and please the emperor. Their careers have reached their limit. There is no way to advance further. The next step is the throne.

Zheng Le looked at Zheng Qian. Two years ago, this rebellious son was acting like he was going to die. He never expected that in just two years, he would have grown to a level that Zheng Le had to look up to. He thought that he had already done a great job by establishing the Beacon Fire Army, but he never expected that his son would be even more impressive.

With such a son, what more could a father ask for?

At this moment, not only Zheng Le was pleased, but also Consort Mei. Her eyes were alluring, and the more she looked at Zheng Qian, the more she liked him. As soon as the family banquet ended, she called out to Zheng Qian.

"Zheng Qian, I have important matters to discuss with you. Please come with me."

Zheng Qian trembled, a bad feeling creeping over him. He immediately refused, saying, "Your Highness, I haven't seen my family for many years and miss them dearly. Your Highness has had a long day, so I won't bother you any longer."

Before Consort Mei could answer, Zheng Le kicked Zheng Qian in the buttocks, "The Consort calling you is a favor to you, and you don't even know how to appreciate it."

After kicking him, Zheng Le said to Consort Mei, "Your Highness, my son is a bit naughty due to lack of discipline. I hope you will forgive him. I will deal with him when I get back and make him come to apologize to you tomorrow."

Consort Mei's beautiful face gradually turned cold. Zheng Le's move was a strategic retreat, ostensibly to teach Zheng Qian a lesson, but actually to help Zheng Qian escape.

In the dead of night, it would be bad if word got out that the Imperial Concubine invited a man to discuss matters, and it would also make Lü Jin unhappy.

After all, Consort Mei is Lü Jin's biological mother, and men cannot be allowed to get too close to her.

"Can't I even summon someone?" Consort Mei's voice was icy as she regained her dignified demeanor and continued to speak to Zheng Qian, "This is an order, not a matter for discussion."

Helpless, Zheng Qian waved goodbye to Zheng Le and the others.

Being too handsome or too fierce is a problem.
