Prince Li's words were abrupt, and it seemed to have nothing to do with the sword in Fang Zhengzhi's hand, but Fang Zhengzhi understood it. ◇↓◇↓ Xiao◇↓

In my mind, I recalled the illusion when I first held the sword without trace in the Holy Heaven World that day, the shocking sword, and the curse that accompanied the rest of my life, Fang Zhengzhi's heart suddenly felt a little bit.

"Life is what I want, and righteousness is what I want; both cannot be obtained, so I sacrifice my life to obtain righteousness." This is a famous saying by Mencius. Fang Zheng is used to describe the Holy Heaven war god who is surrendering righteousness to the heaven and giving up sword.

"Huh?" Prince Li heard Fang Zhengzhi's words, a light suddenly flashed in his turbid eyes. Then, a kind smile appeared on his wrinkled face: "I only think that the emperor has obtained a good sword, but I didn't expect that I could have a sword-knowing person! Okay, it's a good person to sacrifice his life for justice, very good!"

When the civil and military officials heard Prince Li's words, they all looked a little confused. They really didn't understand what Prince Li and Fang Zhengzheng were saying.

Fang Zhengzhi offered his sword, but Prince Li did not comment on the sword, but just said that, so it turned out to be like this. Next, Fang Zhengzhi used another sentence to sacrifice his life for righteousness, and finally, Prince Li said three good words in a row.

what is going on?

A person who has been living in the palace since the ascension of the throne and never asked about the court today suddenly came to the court. This is a strange thing, and now, the stranger is praised by the other party.

Such a scene really made the civil and military officials in the court feel countless doubts and shocks.

And then, something even more shocking happened. After Prince Li finished saying this, he actually...

Leaving!

Chi Guyan was also walking with him.

Prince Li did not take the sword from Fang Zhengzhi's hand, and he turned around and left without even looking at it. The most important thing is that there was a satisfied expression on his face.

Didn’t you agree to like swords?

What's going on now?

And why did Chi Guyan leave? What was the purpose of her coming to the court? From beginning to end, she didn't say a word, but just stayed with Prince Li.

Like a spectator.

However, Chi Guyan was wearing the princess' uniform of the Daxia Dynasty, which was very formal, and the golden crown on her head was wearing the Dapeng crown. Then, she could not be just a spectator.

Not a spectator, but he left without saying a word...

The civil and military officials looked at me one by one, and most of them couldn't understand the reason. Only a very small number of people had a light flashing in their eyes, and among these very few people, there was naturally the left prime minister Yu Yiping.

"The top of the two dragons, a stunning genius!" Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping narrowed his eyes slightly: "If you don't say a word, you can influence the holy heart. Who will she help in this battle for the throne?"

Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping did not speak anymore because he had already seen the expression faintly revealed in the eyes of the Supreme Lord Lin Mubai, and he could see it clearly. How could the noble emperor not be able to see through it?

Although Prince Li's words were unclear, the meaning was already very obvious. He got a sword and there was a person who knew the sword. Then, it was very clear who this person was.

What's more, Chi Guyan's position was also clear even though she didn't say a word, but she stood in the court.

"Fang Zhengzheng, you have made great contributions to the sword today. In the court examination, you killed Yingshan, the deputy chief of the demon clan, and rescued Princess Pingyang and dozens of elites of the Daxia Dynasty. The ministers in the court all requested rewards for you, and I cannot be too stingy. Today, I will appoint you as the "Sword-holding Envoy" of the Daxia Dynasty and give you a thousand gold. In the future, you should hold this sword to boost the power of my Daxia Dynasty!"

The voice of the Supreme Master Lin Mubai sounded at this time, and everything seemed to be within the expectations of the left prime minister Yu Yiping. This matter had already come to an end. Unexpectedly, the official position of the Supreme Master Lin Mubai gave Fang Zhengzhi was the Sword Envoy.

An official position that has never been recorded in the Ministry of Personnel...

Then, the meaning is somewhat intriguing.

After hearing the words of the emperor Lin Mubai, the expressions on his faces were different, some were jealous, some were sneer, some were envious, some were mocked...

"Thank you, but... can the grass-civilian ask a few questions?" Fang Zhengzhi did not look at the expressions on the faces of the civil and military officials. What he cares most about is whether this official would be subject to restraint.

If the constraints are too great, can you resign?

"You have been named the sword envoy now, and you should no longer be called a grass-roots person, but you should be called a minister!" The Supreme Lord Lin Mubai showed a trace of dissatisfaction on his face.

"Yes, can I ask a few questions?"

"Ask."

"What is this sword-holding envoy of my minister for?"

"Hold this sword, you should take it as your responsibility to boost the power of my Daxia Dynasty. Your main responsibility is to keep this sword on my behalf." The Supreme Master Lin Mubai said this, paused slightly in his expression, and then thought about it and continued: "In addition... you can also enter and exit the palace freely and go into the palace to give a direct advice!"

Fang Zhengzhi probably understood this.

This so-called sword-holding envoy is actually a sword-manager. As for free entry and exit of the palace, and going to the palace to directly advise, it is probably a cover. If I really take a sword around the palace every day, I might be killed by an assassin.

However, this is exactly in line with the upright nature. If you don’t have to do things, you can still be an official and get some salary from the court. If you say it, you will also be an official... Wait, I haven’t figured out what kind of official this sword envoy is.

"I have one last thing to ask."

"Ask."

"What grade is this sword-holding envoy...?" Fang Zhengzhi actually did not have any high expectations for the official rank of this sword-holding envoy. A sword-holding envoy is at best a seventh-grade sesame official, and may even be a ninth-grade one who is not at the top.

However, when the Supreme Master Lin Mubai heard Fang Zhengzheng's question, he was slightly silent.

When all the civil and military officials heard this, they all looked at each other, because they all knew that this question was not as easy to answer as they imagined.

The official position of the Sword Envoy has never appeared in the Ministry of Personnel, which means that this is an official position that is separated from the six ministries. At least, this official position will not have any impact on the affairs of the court for the time being.

But the rank of this official position is a dilemma.

If it is set too low, then it will be disrespectful to the Holy Heaven War God Meng Tian. But if it is set too high, it will be inappropriate to be Fang Zhengzhen's current identity.

A civilian who had just passed the Korean test and had not yet entered the Korean government became a first-rank second-rank official in the court in one fell swoop? This is obviously unlikely.

"Fourth grade!" After a moment of silence, the Supreme Master Lin Mubai finally gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Fourth-rank? Thank you, Your Majesty!" Fang Zhengzhi obviously didn't expect that he had become a fourth-rank official in the blink of an eye. It was really a bit surprised.

However, all the civil and military officials were all shocked and opened their mouths wide.

The fourth grade...

This is a real important official in the court. You must know that generally speaking, even a mansion in a prefecture city is only a fifth-rank official rank. A higher one, a mansion like Beimo Jinlin City is from a fourth-rank official rank.

The fourth-grade sword of the Holy Heaven War God Meng Tian is of course slightly lower in the Great Xia Dynasty, but for a civilian who just passed the court test.

This is obviously something that has never happened in the history of the Great Xia Dynasty.

In one step, you can log into the fourth grade. This is a position that has been taken by many years or even decades. How can you not shock them?

"Congratulations to Brother Fang, Guan Feng Zhijian Envoy!" Xing Qingsui's face was extremely pale, but he still bowed to Fang Zhengzheng at this time.

"Thank you!" Fang Zhengzhi returned the gift.

He rarely said these two words to a person, but Xing Qingsui was able to endure serious injuries and enter the palace to seek swords for himself. This righteousness somewhat surprised him.

Yan Xiu and Nangong Mu also came forward to congratulate him at this time.

After looking at each other, the other civil and military officials came forward one by one to congratulate Fang Zhengzhen.

Of course, they were not the ones who came to curry favor with each other. The lowest of them was the fourth-rank official. However, this was a ritual. The Great Xia Dynasty respected the etiquette. How could they not know the etiquette?

What's more, Fang Zhengzhi is no longer a civilian, but a fourth-rank official of the Great Xia Dynasty. The most important thing is what the emperor Lin Mubai was thinking.

No one can guess thoroughly.

The fist of Duan Wang Lin Xinjue clenched tightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, while the gaze of Prince Lin Tianrong also seemed extremely gloomy, almost dripping water.

As for the left prime minister Yu Yiping, his expression did not change much. Instead, he took a big step to Fang Zhengzhi's side and praised Fang Zhengzhi's achievements.

This is somewhat surprising. Only those who are truly familiar with the left prime minister Yu Yiping know that the left prime minister Yu Yiping treats a person like this only means that he has truly had murderous intent.

"Hmph, what's so great about it? It's just a fourth-grade..." Pingyang's little face raised high, as if he was extremely disdainful, but there was a faint light in his clear eyes...

...

The wind in Yanjing City stopped, and the sun shone through the clouds and fell on the ground. After the rain, the wind stopped, which seemed to be a very good weather.

only……

In the northern desert far away from Yanjing City, a new rainstorm was ushered in.

Cangling Mountain is the largest mountain in the five northern monastery areas. It is poor and backward. However, there are dozens of villages and nearly a thousand villagers at the foot of Cangling Mountain.

These villagers rely on the mountains to live in the mountains, are indifferent to the world, are hardworking and simple.

Many people have never left these villages in their entire lives. Their wish is to live. For the Daxia Dynasty, whether these villagers are alive seems to be far less important than they think.

Teams of soldiers with distinctive armor came to these villages, holding bright spears in their hands, and their armors were marked with the marks representing the Great Xia Dynasty.

"Close the mountain!"
