"Your Majesty, we are truly ashamed that we are unable to pick up the bronze sword outside Taiji Palace.”
When the civil and military officials stopped in their tracks, Zhangsun Sheng bowed and slightly tilted his waist.
When it came to national affairs, as an auxiliary minister, he had to first share the burden of the emperor. Similarly, he had to stand in front of the other ministers.
Only by doing so could he be considered worthy of Emperor Gaozu's last words and live up to the expectations of the court.
When the civil and military officials behind him heard Zhangsun Sheng's words, they felt ashamed.
"This is a hint from the heavens and a sword bestowed to Great Sui. It is naturally extraordinary, so you don't have to be too ashamed.”
Zhangsun Sheng and the majority of the officials looked at him. Yang Zheng shook his head slightly.
He was naturally very clear about the specific reason why the bronze sword could not be picked up. It was normal that the ministers could not do anything about it.
Not to mention Yuwen Cheng, even if Li Yuanba was outside Taiji Palace, it would be useless.
"Your Majesty, we would like to respectfully invite Your Majesty to go to Taiji Palace and pick up the bronze sword bestowed by the heavens.”
After he finished speaking, Zhangsun Sheng did not use the bow from before. Instead, he kowtowed to the emperor with the etiquette of a grand court meeting.
Usually, other than big occasions or court meetings, there was no need to kowtow. Usually, it was enough to use a bow.
However, the current situation was very different…
He had tried to pick up the bronze sword several times before, but the result was the same. He could not even move it at all.
Gu Yun said that when the ruler was worried, the subject would be humiliated. If the ruler was worried about something, it would be the shame of being a subject.
The civil and military officials of the court had followed Emperor Gaozu to create Great Sui, but now they could not take up the bronze sword and needed the emperor to step in.
Therefore, they had to kowtow to reduce their rudeness to the emperor.
"We take the liberty to respectfully invite Your Majesty to go.”
With Zhangsun Sheng leading the way, the other three auxiliary ministers, the founding elder of Kaisui, and the other civil and military officials kowtowed in turn.
Only by doing so could he officially invite the emperor to Taiji Palace.
"Everyone, please don't be polite. I'll just make a trip.”
Yang Zhenglang said as he helped Zhangsun Sheng and the other four auxiliary ministers up.
"Thank you, Your Majesty…"
All the officials thanked him and stood up, ready to return to where the bronze sword was.
"Let's go!"
With a sharp voice, a eunuch directly knelt on the ground, his hands steadily supporting the ground, making his back relatively straight.
Stepping on the back of the eunuch, Yang Zheng used it as a human-shaped imperial ladder to ascend the imperial carriage.
The emperor's carriage was divided into front, back, left, and right. There were more than ten Vigorous Fruit Guards carrying it together, followed closely by palace maids and eunuchs.
The civil and military officials were still lined up, walking on both sides of the imperial carriage, guarded by thousands of Vigor Guards.
For a moment, it showed the demeanor of an imperial family and its vast solemnity!
"We respectfully ask Your Majesty to raise the bronze sword.”
Surrounded by the emperor, the civil and military officials once again came to Taiji Palace and said solemnly.
Nodding his head slightly, Yang Zheng walked up to the bronze sword.
Unknowingly, all the officials held their breaths and turned their gazes to the figure who had begun to take on an imposing aura.
After all, it was related to the sword bestowed by the heavens. If he could not pick it up, it would be a great sin and would indirectly offend the heavens.
The Son of Heaven is the ruler of the world, which means that he is the son of heaven.
The majesty of the emperors in the world was already vast, let alone the divine and unfathomable Heaven that truly ruled all things in the world.
Therefore, he had to treat it with caution!
Thinking of the heavenly hint that the emperor could make Great Sui prosper, Yuwen Cheng, who had yet to leave, put on a serious face and focused on the entire process.
Not only the civil and military officials present, but even the soldiers of the Vigor Guard who were on duty nearby could not help but want to investigate.
To be exact, he wanted to witness the scene of Tian Zi creating a miracle and see if it was really the destiny.
Tian Zi…
It was the emperor who had shouted that Great Sui would never marry!
Similarly…
He was also the Son of Heaven that the heavens had instructed to bring prosperity to Great Sui!
Under everyone's gaze, Yang Zheng didn't use too much strength as he gently placed it on the sword hilt.
All the officials and the Vigor Guard watched closely, not daring to blink. They were afraid that they would miss the next sacred and extremely important scene.
Half an inch…
Five inches…
One foot…
Tian Zi picked it up, picked it up!
Their hearts were in their throats. The civil and military officials and the Xiao Guo Guards could not help but sweat, and their breathing involuntarily increased.
The anticipation in his heart reached its peak!
No matter how high or low their status was, everyone present was carried away as they stared at the bronze sword that was slowly rising.
Two feet…
Three feet…
Finally!
The bronze sword, which had not moved at all before, was slowly leaving the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Until Tian Zi easily held the bronze sword in his hand!
The Prince of Changping, Qiurui, who was born in the army, had no way to hold a sword…
He Ruobi of Shangzhu Country, who was quite strong, could not do anything to him in the end…
Yuwen Cheng, who was publicly acknowledged to be born with extraordinary strength, was still unable to pick it up…
Only Tian Zi could do it so easily!
At this moment, all the officials and Xiao Guo thought of the hint from the heavens that the Emperor Star was about to rise.
What others couldn't do, Tian Zi could easily do, proving the value of this.
"Your Majesty is mighty!"
The Emperor Star was the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven was the Emperor Star!
Unable to suppress their passion, Yuwen Cheng and the Vigorous Fruit Guards shouted in unison, releasing their desire to follow the emperor and make contributions.
"Your Majesty is mighty!"
With the same feelings and deep expectations for the future of Great Sui, the civil and military officials raised their arms and shouted.
At this moment!
The sword in Tian Zi's hand suddenly changed. Layers of bronze began to fall off its surface.
Gradually, cracks appeared on the bronze sword, revealing its true appearance.
It was a long sword that was about three feet long and completely black. There was no killing intent in its solemn aura.
"Zhan Lu Sword!"
That was…
As if he suddenly thought of something, Zhangsun Sheng could not help but lose his composure and blurted out.
What the hell!
All the officials, including the soldiers of the Valiant Fruit Guards, were shocked.
Even the ordinary people knew all kinds of rumors about the Zhan Lu Sword.
Zhan Lu was ranked second in the world, second only to the Yellow Emperor's Xuanyuan Sword!
However, it only existed in ancient books and rumors.
The past emperors wanted to find it, but they couldn't even find a shadow, let alone news.
At this moment, they remembered the rumors about Zhan Lu…
The king is wise and capable, the sword is beside him, and the country is prosperous.
The king was incompetent, the sword was thrown away, and the country was destroyed.
Zhan Lu Sword, the representative of justice and benevolence, a sword of benevolence!
It had never appeared in thousands of years, and it was a peerless sword of a wise ruler!
It meant that the Son of Heaven was not only a wise ruler who led the Great Sui to prosperity, but also an emperor who was truly destined!
The emperor who was destined by the heavens, the true dragon and son of heaven who was specially sent by the heavens to bless the world.
For example, Emperor Huang Xuanyuan of the ancient times was such a figure.
"Long live, long live, long live!"
"Long live, long live, long live!"
"Long live, long live, long live!"
Respect!
An unprecedented reverence filled his entire body. He submitted to the emperor from the bottom of his heart, not daring to have even the slightest disobedience.
Only with the highest etiquette…
He could only submit sincerely…
Only with the deepest loyalty…
Only then could he follow the Son of Heaven and create a strong country!
The entire Taiji Palace resounded for a long time. The sound was continuous and reached the clouds in the sky...
