Chapter 397 Imperial Treasury
Hearing Li Baiyuan's heavy voice, Ye Ru's expression also became somewhat solemn. He then clenched his fists, nodded, and said:
“I understand that the demon and monster races will not let me go, and that person will probably send some people to kill me. However, even if they come, they will have to pay a price.”
Although he is being hunted down by many parties, killing him would come at a price, and Ye Ru would not die here easily.
"Chief Ye, this trip to the State of Jin was extremely dangerous. I'm lending you this Royal Seal in the hope that you will return safely."
After a moment of contemplation, Chen Tianjian flicked his sleeve, and a golden light burst forth from his cuff, landing in Ye Ru's hand.
Glancing at the Imperial Seal and sensing the powerful fluctuations of talent within it, Ye Ru clasped his hands in a fist salute and said:
"Thank you, Mr. Chen."
"Chief Ye, the journey is long. I also have something here that I hope you will accept."
Another adult dressed in armor took out a ruler and handed it to Ye Rudao.
"it is good."
As Chen Tianjian and this official gave their literary treasures to Ye Ru, some other people also gifted their treasured literary treasures to Ye Ru.
"Minister Ye, since you have accepted the treatment of a third-rank official, you are now a subject of my Yanhuang Dynasty. I should also give you something in return. How about this, you can come to my imperial treasury later and choose three items."
Chen Qingqiao pondered for a moment, then raised his head and slowly said.
"Your Majesty... Isn't it customary that only those who have received a first-class merit are eligible to enter the imperial treasury?"
After a moment of contemplation, an adult finally couldn't help but speak.
"Yes, Your Majesty, please reconsider. It's not that I'm unwilling to let Chief Ye in, but this is a rule left by our ancestors, and we must not overstep it."
Another minister also immediately knelt down and pleaded.
These words caused Chen Qingqiao's face to show a hint of anger, while Ye Ru sighed softly in his heart, thinking to himself:
"The Yanhuang Kingdom's court is truly terminally ill. If it is not treated, it may not be long before its demise."
He knew that anyone who tried to obstruct this matter was basically either a stubborn old fogey or the Left Prime Minister's men. The Left Prime Minister wished he were dead, and these people naturally echoed him in order to curry favor with him.
"Can't the things left by our ancestors be changed? Now I am in power, not my father."
"Your Majesty!"
"I am the emperor of a new dynasty. Can I not even make this decision? My mind is made up, so there's no need for you to persuade me. Otherwise, I will be punished with caning in court!"
Before the subordinate could finish speaking, Chen Qingqiao, looking displeased, said coldly.
This situation was clearly unexpected by Ye Ru, and at this moment, the Left Prime Minister bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, I am feeling unwell and request permission to return home first..."
"allow."
Chen Qingqiao nodded, and then the Left Prime Minister left.
The book club meeting at the Imperial Academy proceeded smoothly, but Ye Ru and the others did not participate. Afterwards, the group went to the Imperial Treasury.
Arriving in front of the imperial treasury, Ye Ru was greeted by an extremely large pavilion.
His gaze swept over the ancient pavilion, finally settling on the plaque above it. There, four large golden characters appeared, seemingly dancing like dragons and phoenixes. Although they were old, they still possessed a terrifying power.
Clearly, this plaque was written by a master calligrapher; only someone at least at the fifth level of calligraphy could have written it.
Chen Qingqiao and his group arrived at the gate and stopped. Chen Qingqiao took out a token with a large golden character engraved on it:
"Book!"
After a moment, he bowed slightly towards the pavilion, appearing very sincere, and then said:
"The sixth generation imperial nephew of the Yanhuang Kingdom earnestly requests the three imperial uncles to open the gate, so that the people of the Yanhuang Kingdom may safely travel to the Jin Kingdom and bring back the 100,000 heroic souls of the Yanhuang Kingdom."
Chen Qingqiao's words echoed slowly here, lingering for a long time.
Ye Ru was also gazing around, seemingly observing the structure of the place.
Shortly after Chen Qingqiao finished speaking, three prayer cushions appeared in the center of the gate, followed by three figures dressed in yellow dragon robes.
This scene surprised Ye Ru as well, as these three dragon warriors were also wearing dragon robes.
However, he immediately noticed that the dragon robes worn by these three people only had four claws, which was less than the number of claws on the dragon robe worn by Chen Qingqiao.
However, their strength is indeed unfathomable.
Thinking about this, his interest in the place grew stronger. With three people guarding it, the things inside must be quite valuable.
"These three are the younger brothers of the previous emperor, but they are by nature indifferent to worldly affairs, so they came to the imperial treasury. According to the custom of each dynasty, the treasury must be guarded by three members of the imperial family."
While Ye Ru was surprised, Chen Tianjian spoke in a deep voice from the side, and judging from his expression, he seemed to be quite wary and respectful of these three.
"I see."
Ye Ru nodded, then looked up. At this moment, Chen Qingqiao had already arrived in front of the three imperial uncles, bowed to them, and said:
“My three royal uncles, as you know, the Jin Kingdom is shameless. We sent 100,000 troops to Jin Kingdom to help defend against the demon race, but the people of Jin Kingdom repaid kindness with enmity and wiped out all 100,000 troops of our Yanhuang Kingdom. As a result, our Yanhuang Kingdom was severely weakened, and the bodies of our Yanhuang soldiers are still warm, their heroic souls unable to return home. Now we want to bring these 100,000 heroic souls home. We ask that you three royal uncles lend us a hand and open the gates of this national treasury.”
"The people of Jin are shameful, that's common knowledge. To enter Jin and bring back my 100,000 heroic souls is no small matter. Does Lord Chen intend to go?"
One of the imperial uncles glanced at Chen Tianjian and then said with a smile.
"No, I also wish to go to the Jin Kingdom, but the northern border is frequently at war. If I am not there to guard it, the demons and villains may invade our human race. Therefore, it is not I who want to go, but this person."
Having said that, Chen Tianjian pointed at Ye Ru, causing the three imperial uncles to turn their gazes towards him. However, when they saw that Ye Ru was merely a scholar, they couldn't help but be surprised:
"Scholar?"
"Greetings to the three of you..."
Ye Ru bowed to him and said.
"You are just a lowly scholar. What ability do you have to go to the State of Jin? You should know that you will be going alone against the scholars of that entire state. It will be extremely dangerous."
The royal uncle spoke slowly.
"Yes, Qingqiao, this young man is only twenty years old, yet he understands the greater good, which is extremely rare. But isn't this move a bit too reckless?"
At this moment, another royal uncle also spoke up and asked.
