In Chang 'an City of the Plane of the West.
After the incident with the Jing River Dragon King, Li Erxiao fell ill. It was already three days later.
After Xuanzang chanted sutras day and night, Li Er's evil aura was purified by the Buddha's light, and the haze in his heart was swept away.
In the meeting hall, Li Er summoned all the officials to start a court meeting. The officials also knew that Li Er liked to be extravagant and cared about his face, so they all secretly flattered him.
His Majesty has been blessed by the heavens and has recovered. It is truly a blessing for the Great Tang!”
"Your Majesty cares about the people and spreads grace to the world. The people live and work in peace and contentment.”
"Your Majesty…"
Li Er sat on the throne, his expression unchanged. He was still very happy and proud in his heart!
This is my Great Tang! Look at these ministers speaking the truth!
However, as the emperor, he still had to be open-minded and humbly accept the suggestions of his ministers.
When the process was almost complete, Li Er glanced at Wang Defa who was beside him.
Wang Defa understood and immediately shouted,
"Xuan Cao County's Xu Xuan enters the palace.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Xuan walked into the entrance of the throne room under the endless dazzling sunlight.
Facing the gazes of the officials, Xu Xuan's expression was extremely calm. He raised his head and puffed out his chest, walking calmly.
Xu Xuan had planned to return to the Snake-catching Village and spend some time with Little White and Little Green after the Dragon King of the Jing River.
Unfortunately, Wang Defa kept asking him to stay, and Li Er didn't let Xu Xuan leave either. He insisted on giving Xu Xuan a reward, which was why it had been delayed until now.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Xu Xuan bowed slightly.
"How dare you. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. Why can't you kneel down?”
A middle-aged man wearing an embroidered official robe asked.
This person was the remonstrant Wei Zheng, an honest man who abhorred evil.
Xu Xuan was about to say something when Li Er took the initiative to speak,"
"Minister Wei, it's best if you don't speak. Xu Xuan had the privilege of not bowing.”
Wei Zheng was speechless.
Zhangsun Wuji and Yuchi Gong, who were standing at the front of the officials, looked at each other and smiled.
"Xu Xuan, you have protected the emperor. According to the Imperial Board, I will reward you well.”Li Er said.
At this moment, Li Er was full of energy and vitality. His eyes did not have the black mark of panda eyes, and he looked much more dignified. However, his gaze was slightly fiery, making people feel a little uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, I'm just an outsider who only wants to ask questions. I don't dare to believe in money or official positions. It's better to give them to those who need them.”
Xu Xuan said with a calm expression, looking as if fame and fortune were nothing to him.
The moment these words came out, it caused quite a commotion in the imperial court!
No matter which era it was, fame and wealth were good things. Countless sages pursued them one after another.
Now that the Emperor had personally rewarded him, this was a chance to rise to the top in one step, but he was still rejected.
Li Er smiled and nodded to himself.
This was the talent of the Great Tang. He possessed unique skills, but he never showed off. Like a hidden dragon in the abyss, he regarded fame and fortune as fleeting clouds. Such a quality was truly commendable!
No, he had to reward him properly!
"Minister Xu, how old are you this year?" Li Er asked.
Although Xu Xuan did not have any official position, in Li Er's eyes, he was a great hero of the Tang Empire.
"I'm still a few months away from turning eighteen!"
Xu Xuan answered, wondering why Li Er would ask such an irrelevant question. Could it be?
The more Xu Xuan thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong with Li Er. His eyes were too kind.
"Very good, heroes really come from young people. My dear minister, have you ever been married?”Li Er asked.
The moment these words came out, all the officials in the court were shocked again!
His Majesty was recruiting a son-in-law!
"Not yet." Xu Xuan said. It was as she had guessed.
Li Er's smile grew warmer. Xu Xuan was at the prime of his life. He was handsome and noble, no less than Li Er when he was young.
He had the intention to recruit Xu Xuan into the royal family. Moreover, the Imperial Roll had indeed mentioned this matter before.
As the saying goes, a ruler does not joke. This is the time to fulfill his promise!
"My dear minister, you're eighteen years old. You're not young either. It's time to talk about marriage.
I have many children, but only two of them are as old as you. I intend to betroth one of them to you. What do you think?”Li Er said directly.
"That's not very good, is it?" Xu Xuan hesitated for a moment.”
Even the ministers in the palace felt that Li Er seemed to be overly favored!
In fact, that was not the case. On the night of the extermination of the Jing River Dragon King, the image of Xu Xuan exterminating the Dragon King was deeply imprinted in Li Er's mind and soul.
This was simply a young god. If he didn't take him into the royal family now, when would he?
Moreover, with such an awesome son-in-law guarding the Great Tang, wouldn't the enemies of the four directions, the foreign barbarians, have to obediently submit?
"My dear minister, I know your heart. Because you are too surprised, it may be difficult for you to accept it for a while. Why don't you take a look at my two daughters first and get to know them?”Li Er said.
He had confidence in his daughter. As the pearl of the Great Tang, she was a first-class beauty, one of a kind and unparalleled.
As soon as he finished speaking, two graceful figures walked over from behind the beaded curtain on the side of Li Er's throne.
Wasn't this Princess Chang Le, Princess Le Yan?
At this moment, the two women were dressed up in exquisite and luxurious clothes. They were like hibiscus flowers that had emerged from the water, beautiful and moving!
It was worth mentioning that Princess Chang Le's chest had already recovered its former glory!
As the saying goes, when enemies meet, their eyes will turn red!
Princess Chang Le stood beside Li Er and glared at Xu Xuan with her beautiful eyes.
Princess Le Yan was a little shy and uneasy. She was like a confused little white rabbit and did not dare to look at her husband.
In this era, marriage was decided by parents, not to mention the royal family!
Although Princess Chang Le was a little angry, she did not refute Li Er's decision and was not that resistant.
"How is it? My beloved minister, which daughter of mine do you fancy?”Li Erxun asked with a bright smile.
Xu Xuan frowned slightly. His gaze drifted between Princess Chang Le and Princess Le Yan as if he was making a choice. He said with difficulty,"
"Your Majesty's good intentions are touching. The two princesses were both proud daughters of the heavens.”
Li Er nodded. These words were not fake. It was true. He liked to hear it!
"If you have to choose one of them, you will definitely let the other down. This will be a great harm to the princess.”
Xu Xuan sighed. She looked like she was struggling to make a decision.
"Beloved minister, zhen will not blame you. This is all fate.”Li Er said seriously.
Hearing this, Xu Xuan slowly raised her head and smiled shyly."
"Your Majesty, you are wise and mighty. In order to not disappoint you, if I really have to choose, I will choose both princesses. Wouldn't that be beautiful?”
Li Er was speechless.
All the officials were speechless.
