In fact, ever since Lin Xiao ascended the throne, the various deeds he had done and the god-like methods he had displayed in succession had long shocked the entire dynasty until they were somewhat numb.
At this time, even if someone said that Lin Xiao was the reincarnation of a god, the people of the dynasty would believe it without hesitation.
Who was this person…
This time, King Jiujiang looked at Lin Xiao with respect.
He accompanied Lin Xiao and the others back to the capital.
Other than the twenty-eight rankers who were already in the Immortal Ascension Rankings, the rest of them were all given official positions in the army by Wang Meng.
Those who were originally soldiers in the army had even risen several levels in a row, making people envious.
At this point, everything regarding the Prodigy Tournament was settled.
……
In the royal study, Lin Xiao was reading an ancient book with interest.
At the corner of the table, there were all kinds of books that recorded ancient secrets.
From the clues, he also understood.
The so-called Heaven and Earth Calamity was actually basically no different from his previous guess.
Everything depended on balance.
"It is just that I do not know how that Heavenly Emperor Li will awaken.”
Thinking of the life and death contract that was still quietly lying in the storage ring, Lin Xiao could not help but look forward to it.
That Venerable Sovereign probably never dreamed that his thousand-year-old plan had already been targeted by someone before it had even begun.
"Your Majesty, Lord Situ requests an audience."
Zi Xuan's voice came from outside the door.
"Xuan."
Not long after, Situ Qing rushed in with a memorial in his hand.
"Your Majesty, these are some of the detailed arrangements for the Consort Selection Ceremony.”
Lin Xiao put down the ancient book in his hand and took the memorial. Without reading it, he directly took out the Imperial Jade Seal from his storage ring and gently pressed it on the memorial.
Immediately after, he returned the memorial and said indifferently,"Minister Situ has been loyal for decades. The world can see that. There's no need to look at these things.”
In fact, he was a little embarrassed to look at it.
Of course, no matter what, he would never say this out loud.
However, Situ Qing was moved by Lin Xiao's words and said excitedly,"This old minister will not disappoint Your Majesty! This Concubine Selection Ceremony will definitely not disgrace the dignity of our Imperial Family!”
"Alright, if there's nothing else, Minister Situ can go and do your work!”
Lin Xiao smiled and casually picked up the book on the table again.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Situ Qing hurriedly replied. This old minister will take his leave!"
After Situ Qing left, Lin Xiao started reading the ancient records again.
It was not until late at night that he put down the book in his hand and stretched.
Walking out of the royal study, he saw Zi Xuan waiting outside the door as usual, her pretty face full of fatigue.
But even so, she still hurriedly bowed when she saw Lin Xiao.
"Zi Xuan greets Your Majesty."
"Yes."
Lin Xiao nodded slightly and said,"Leave these things to the other eunuchs and palace maids in the future!"”
After all, no matter what, Zi Xuan was now his woman.
Naturally, he couldn't treat her like a servant and order her around.
"Also,"
At this point, Lin Xiao paused and said,""From today onwards, you will be promoted to Imperial Consort and will be staying in the Qing Ning Palace temporarily. Remember to report to the Internal Affairs Office tomorrow.”
"This servant thanks Your Majesty for your grace!"
Zi Xuan's pretty face was filled with joy, but then, as if she had thought of something, a blush flashed across her pretty face."Your Majesty…tonight…"
At this point, she subconsciously crossed her legs.
"Haha, since my beloved consort has such an elegant interest, then this emperor naturally would be impolite to refuse!”
……
The next day, under Situ Qing's manipulation, Emperor Xiao would hold a Concubine Selection Ceremony in the entire dynasty. The news spread like wildfire.
In just a few days, the news had spread throughout the Northern Region of the Human Race.
For a time, merchants, officials, and even the daughters of nobles all moved and gathered in the capital.
Even many girls among the people were tempted by this.
If it was in the past, even if the emperor wanted to choose a concubine, it would definitely not cause such a sensational effect.
However, after Emperor Xiao ascended the throne, he defeated the Supremacy, destroyed the Holy Land, killed the demons, and controlled the True Dragon.
His image had gradually been deified.
In addition, Lin Xiao was not even twenty years old!
His talent was shocking and his power was monstrous!
Which woman in the world would not be moved by such a man?
Li Fire Capital, Mandarin Duck Restaurant, Heaven Number One Room.
"Your Highness, I feel that this is an unprecedented opportunity!”
When Chu Aoling heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyelids and look at the person who spoke.
This was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties. He had a dignified appearance and inadvertently emitted an iron-blooded aura.
"What do you mean, General Wu?"
"Reporting to the Crown Prince, now that Emperor Xiao is choosing a concubine, we can take this opportunity to insert our people into the harem! As long as we wait for the right time, we'll work together from the inside and outside…"
At this point, General Wu couldn't help but smile confidently.
"This is a good idea.”
Chu Aoling held his chin with one hand, frowned and pondered,""But…who should I send? After all, there are many beauties from all over the dynasty gathering in the capital. If we can't stand out, I'm afraid…"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, don't we have a ready-made candidate?”
General Wu was full of confidence.”
"No!"
Hearing this, Chu Aoling's face suddenly turned gloomy and he flatly refused,""Miss Lin is infatuated with me. How can I let her down?”
When General Wu saw this, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes. However, he still said,""Your Highness, the great cause of restoring the country is right in front of you. How can you be so hesitant for a mere woman?”
"Now, under Lin Xiao's rule, the Li Fire Empire's cohesiveness is unprecedented!”
"Even the country's strength is rising at a speed visible to the naked eye!”
"If I miss this opportunity, I don't know when the time to restore the country will be delayed!”
Chu Aoling's expression couldn't help but become hesitant.
General Wu quickly struck while the iron was hot and said,""Your Highness, please think about it. As long as you can take back the imperial power, you can have any woman you want.”
"Even if you still can't bear to part with Miss Lin, you can keep her in the harem…"
Chu Aoling gritted his teeth and said,""Now that things have come to this, we can only do this!”
