Free Web NovelChapter 1318: Chapter 11: Coming to the Human World Should be "Ruyi
The weight of the gaze, Jiang Wang could already perceive.
The emotions within the gaze, he could also feel to a certain extent.
In the midst of the burning, envious, and suspicious gazes throughout the audience, what Jiang Wang thought of was the widely circulated comment on the current Son of Heaven—
"The current emperor is indeed a peerless sovereign; whether it’s in granting favors or punishments, he spares no efforts!"
He spares no efforts in granting favors or punishments.
Today, because he won the title of Yellow River Leader for Qi Country at Guanhe Platform, showing power to the world, Emperor Qi showered him with extreme honors.
If one day he makes a mistake, what would happen when the Son of Heaven’s anger is provoked?
It is not to say that today’s Emperor Qi is somehow deceitful. In fact, the honors bestowed by Emperor Qi this time are indeed exceptional. Everyone could feel how much Emperor Qi values him.
His performance during the grand master ceremony had already won the Son of Heaven’s approval. His performance this time at Guanhe Platform was undoubtedly flawless and brought great honor to Qi Country.
Although the rewards are hefty, he can bear them!
Jiang Wang merely reminds himself with this that the road ahead is long, and he must avoid arrogance and impetuosity.
Today is his most glorious moment in Qi Country, holding the title Yellow River Leader and the foremost ranking in the Inner Mansion, receiving boundless favors from Emperor Qi in front of The Imperial Ancestral Temple of Daqi.
His position being of the third rank, now entering the court with a sword!
Although real power has not yet come, at least in terms of status, he has leaped into the high ranks of Qi Country. And the future holds even greater expectations for him.
But the Son of Heaven’s favors and punishments are all at his will, and they can change!
He should know what truly are the foundations of establishing oneself.
The glory in front of him stops here; how the future unfolds is still up to his own actions.
Jiang Wang took three steps forward, treading firmly with each one.
Not a hint of arrogance, nor a trace of panic can be seen.
Only bowing deeply with clasped hands, he solemnly said: "Your humble servant is profoundly grateful, thanking for the Heavenly Grace! I shall strive diligently without slackening!"
In the stands, The Marquis of Destroying Cities, Li Zhengyan, watched in amazement at this young man in the spotlight at the center of the plaza. At such an age, achieving such accolades and enjoying such honors, yet his eyes still retained a clarity.
For someone of his stature, he especially knows the importance of "staying clear-headed." Those who aren’t clear-headed might rise temporarily, but cannot ascend for a lifetime.
A young prodigy of merely nineteen, able to maintain his clarity in the face of unprecedented glory, is indeed precious.
No wonder his brother and the like praised this young man so highly.
Initially, Li Longchuan’s association with Chongxuan Sheng and Jiang Wang, which opposed Zhongxuan Zun and Wang Yiwu, dissatisfied him somewhat. However, trusting Li Longchuan and knowing his son always had a sense of measure, he did not say much.
Now it seems, among all the sons and daughters of the court’s ministers, really few can compare to Jiang Wang.
From a utilitarian point of view, the relationship Li Longchuan has formed seems to be very worthwhile!
Thinking this, Li Zhengyan could not help but chuckle silently.
If his brother hears these thoughts, he would scold him for being overly concerned with mundane matters and being tainted by vulgarity!
But then...
Among all these court ministers and noble dignitaries, how many can avoid being "vulgar"?
He silently pondered, wondering how long the clarity in this young man’s eyes would last!
After the Ritual Officer finished announcing the decree, a group of eunuchs came forth in succession, bearing the awards on jade trays.
The first jade tray contained a finely made Storage Box with a thousand Prime Stones placed inside.
The second jade tray held land deeds and house deeds, pressed down by a key, representing a mansion in Zi City. Qi Country has dominated the Eastern Region for decades; houses in Zi City are not easily obtainable with just money. Without corresponding power and status, even if one buys it, it’s hard to reside there long.
The third jade tray held a jade token, which was the certificate to select a superior Dao Technique from the Emperor’s private treasury.
The fourth jade tray contained a neatly folded robe, seemingly shimmering in flowing light, yet its special features unknown.
It was only at this moment that Jiang Wang suddenly realized, that Ruyi Immortal Robe might be the most precious of these awards! ƒгeewёbnovel.com
It wasn’t that he had a discerning eye for treasures, but among the four eunuchs presenting the trays, the first three were ordinary Little Eunuchs, while the last one was the Writing Eunuch from the Ministry of Rites, and it was none other than the one he knew, Qiu Ji!
Given the different statuses of those presenting the awards, the "gift" naturally differentiated in its value!
Especially since there was a smile in Qiu Ji’s eyes, obviously holding this "gift" in high esteem. This was a subtle hint.
Speaking of which, the Emperor’s awards this time were indeed thoughtfully prepared.
Even this last award was delivered by Qiu Ji, who had already met him once before.
The eunuchs holding the jade trays came forward one by one, presenting the awards.
Jiang Wang did not hesitate, and right in the plaza, in front of everyone, he carefully accepted each item.
Strictly speaking, this was slightly impolite. Normally, such awards are sent to one’s mansion afterwards. But everyone knew that before obtaining the deeds today, Jiang Wang did not have his own mansion in Zi City.
He has always lived in Chongxuan Sheng’s mansion and does not have attendants like housekeepers to accept on his behalf...
Emerging from obscurity requires time to accumulate foundational strength.
It’s worth noting that when Jiang Wang received the Storage Box, he swiftly transferred all the Prime Stones in the box to his own Storage Box, intending to return the now empty Storage Box back to the tray.
The Little Eunuch, however, stepped back and avoided it.
