Chapter 1329: Sealing (3) Chapter 1329: Sealing (3) On the last day of her life, Jiu Xuanji made a decision to get married, but she was rejected.

She said that she was about to die, so she was not worth it, nor could she be so selfish, nor could she delay his life.

Since then.

For countless years, Jiu Xuanji’s heart had already died.

He had never touched any feelings, nor did he touch any women.

He was focused on cultivation.

“Sigh!” Zhang Ronghua sighed.

“What is love in the world?

It’s about life and death.”

” I’m sorry.” Jiu Xuanji pretended to be calm and collected.” I’ve made a fool of myself.”

He praised.

“The poem is not bad.

Once it spreads, it will definitely become a legendary story that will be remembered by countless people.”

He asked again.

“When can I attend your wedding?”

“Which one do you want to drink?” Zhang Ronghua thought.

He shook his head.

“I don’t know.”

“You’re luckier than me,” said Jiu Xuanji enviously.

“Eat.” Zhang Ronghua handed over a handful of strawberries.

Until morning court.

The two of them wiped the water from the corners of their mouths with soft paper and stood up from their chairs.

They opened the door of the hall and walked through the Xuanwei Gate, rushing towards the Purple Extreme Hall.

Some of the officials thought a lot when they saw them.

Didn’t they go back last night?

Combined with the news he had received, his heart was heavy.

Today’s morning court session was probably unusual.

After a while.

After entering the hall, they stood in their respective ranks.

As the officials arrived one after another, they seemed to have discussed it beforehand.

They first swept their gaze across the ranks of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets before withdrawing their gaze.

Finally, the three dukes also arrived.

They seemed to know that today’s morning court session was not ordinary and stood in front of the officials.

It was as if there was an invisible mountain pressing down on their shoulders, making it difficult for them to breathe.

When everyone was present, Eunuch Xiao brought two eunuchs and closed the Purple Pole Gate and the two side doors from the outside.

A babbling sound echoed in the hall.

Everyone looked forward from the corner of their eyes.

Footsteps sounded from behind.

The Crown Prince supported Emperor Xia as they walked out of the rear hall.

Wei Shang and Xia Shanhe were one step behind.

He sat on the dragon throne.

The Xia Emperor’s dignified gaze swept over the crowd.” Announce the decree!” he said in a deep voice.

The officials were shocked.

So direct?

When they thought of Zhang Ronghua, some people were envious and wanted to replace him.

After this, they would take another step forward and control more power.

Wei Shang took a step forward and took out the imperial edict he had prepared from his Sumeru Pouch.

He slowly opened it and read it aloud.

First, there was a series of official transfers involving many factions.

The old foxes present had a very sensitive sense of smell.

They could hear the meaning behind these people’s words.

They joined forces and glanced at the Emperor without leaving a trace.

They secretly guessed what the Emperor had rewarded Zhang Ronghua with.

He actually invested so much?

As the decree was read out, the Tycoon’s already dark face became uglier and uglier, like the bottom of a pot!

After they left last night and vomited blood and passed out, the Grand Preceptor received the news and rushed over immediately to discuss how to deal with today’s matter.

He reminded them to endure until their injuries were healed.

It was not appropriate to make a move during this period of time.

The scene in front of him.

The Xia Emperor had completely caught them off guard.

The more so, the greater his reward would be.

Otherwise, there would be no need to unite the various sects.

The appointments of the others, including the governors of Jinzhou who had participated in the rebellion, had been announced.

Only Zhang Ronghua and Jiu Xuanji were left.

Wei Shang suddenly stopped and took a few breaths.

He raised his voice and continued,” Zhang Ronghua has made a great contribution in quelling the rebellion in Jinzhou.

He has also cracked the cheating case of the imperial examination of the aristocratic families in the five provinces and the major case led by Lu Guangliang.

He will be rewarded for all three contributions.

He will be granted the title of Marquis of Shangjing and his fief is Shangnan Town.

He will also be recruiting soldiers to maintain law and order!”

Boom!

All the officials, princes, and nobles present were shocked.

What had they just heard?

A person with a foreign surname actually had a fief?

Shangnan Town belonged to Shangjing Prefecture, the southern gate of the capital.

Such an important town had great military and political value.

How could it be given to the Marquis of Nancheng just like that?

No!

He was now the Marquis of Shangjing and had already been conferred the title.

When the Fourth Prince had just ruled the country, he had bestowed Zhang Ronghua with the title of Marquis of Shangjing.

Later, he had been captured by the latter, and a series of people had their families confiscated and exterminated.

He didn’t expect that not long after, the Marquis of Shangjing would fall on his head again.

With the name of the capital, the fief of Shangnan Town, and a private army, the combination of the three was glorious and grand, surpassing everyone.

The princes, kings, and county lords all wanted to swallow him alive.

They didn’t even have a fief!

Was Zhang Ronghua His Majesty’s illegitimate son?

The Grand Tutor, the empress’s men, and Grand Secretary Cui all understood why the Emperor had rewarded them so generously.

The person who had arranged for them was of high status.

Although they had guessed that they would be waiting here, they were still shocked by the generosity!

Refuse?

It was impossible.

The Xia Emperor had given them far too much.

During this period of time, their factions had suffered more or less losses.

If this continued, their authority in the court would grow weaker and weaker.

With this wave of recovery, their future days would be much easier.

Even if they encountered an unexpected situation, they would be able to calmly deal with it.

As for Grand Preceptor and Grand Guardian, what did they have to do with him?

Wasn’t the struggle in the royal court about stepping on others to get to the top?

Zhang Ronghua’s reward could not be stopped anyway.

With the addition of the Three Merits, the credit for exterminating the Sorcerer Tribe and the Five Elements Tribe was still accumulating.

Even so, it was still very heaven-defying.

No matter how unhappy he was, he had to endure it.

Who asked him to be so capable?

He was not in a hurry to express his opinion and waited to see how the situation developed.

With the Second Prince in the lead, the members of the royal family, including the princes and the county kings, all stepped out.

They felt extremely aggrieved!

If his father (Emperor Xia) had rewarded him with a fief, with the addition of Zhang Ronghua, given his contributions, it would have been fine.

But now, he felt very unbalanced.

Why should an outsider get it when his father couldn’t?
