1232 TWO Chapter 1232-Divine martial rule (1/2)
Chapter 1232 – Divine Martial Rule
Yet another New Year's Eve night.
As Liu Xiyi mentioned in his poem, ”Flowers are the same every year, but people are different.”
Every year, Great Xia would improve, stepping to whole new levels. This year's upgrade to Emperor dynasty was like adding oil when cooking. The prosperous scenes were showing signs of stepping into a grand and successfully age.
There were some officials who suggested they termed this era as the divine martial rule.
After upgrading to the Emperor dynasty, the Imperial Court was not happy with staying at their current level, which excited the civilians. Right after they upgraded, they brought out three new policies and accepted the talents of players with a magnanimous heart.
The Xia Emperor's desire to swallow up the four seas awed everyone.
To have such an emperor was the good fortune of Great Xia and its people.
Night, the imperial capital was bustling with excitement. The fireworks that started from evening still had not stopped. Along with the lanterns, candles, and the like, the imperial capital turned into a city with no night.
The civilians of the imperial capital were celebrating the New Year and celebrating this rare prosperous time.
Imperial city, emperor palace.
The emperor's family feast was coming to an end, and the interactions that happened were as usual, without nothing really interesting occurring.
A year had passed, and the members of the royal family had grown up. Be it in the military, in the offices, or in the groups, they were slowly gaining a footing and becoming a huge presence in the dynasty.
Out of all the members, Ouyang Heng who was appointed as the Wuzhou Prefecture Governor was undoubtedly the shining star.
”Your majesty, let me toast to you!”
Ouyang Heng left his seat to pour wine for Ouyang Shuo. He knew that being appointed as Wuzhou Prefecture Governor would mean that he would face a lot of trouble. There were many jealous people inside and even within the royal family.
For him to gain a footing in Great Xia, apart from his personal ability, he also needed the support of the emperor.
Ouyang Shuo was sitting at the host position. On his legs was Luo'er, who was already a year and a half old. When Ouyang Heng walked over, Ouyang Shuo was peeling the grapes that his daughter loved the most. How much he spoiled and loved her was hard to be described in words.
Ouyang Shuo did not want to follow the ways of the ancient emperors and kings and talk about how the royal family was heartless. Ouyang Shuo did not restrain Yu'er either and allowed him to as he wished and enjoy his childhood.
To allow the two to gain a firm cultivation foundation, Ouyang Shuo even purposely went offline every day to use the Five Emperor True Manual's primordial energy to nourish their meridians.
Seeing Ouyang Heng walk over, Ouyang Shuo placed down the grapes before raising up his glass and smiling, ”Third Uncle, Happy New Year!”
”It's all because of your majesty!” Ouyang Heng enjoyed the respect and importance the emperor placed on him. However, he knew that at this moment, many eyes were staring over in his direction.
The uncle and nephew duo took the chance to discuss some work matters.
At this moment, seeing that her father and uncle were talking and not peeling grapes for her, little princess Luo'er got angry. She pouted and reached out with her hand, grabbing her father's beard.
The authority and fierce image that Ouyang Shuo tried so hard to maintain instantly dissipated.
”Hehe, little princess is angry, so I'll leave now.” Seeing his majesty in such an awkward situation, it would be inappropriate for him to remain.
After talking for such a short while, Ouyang Heng had already achieved his goal.
In truth, Ouyang Shuo would not bother about these small customs and simply said, ”Take care, Third Uncle.” After that, he turned around to play with the little princess.
Speaking of Luo'er playing with his beard, there was a story within.
Ouyang Shuo was young and suppressing and leading all the officials was not an easy thing. At least from an image standpoint, he seemed too young and could not give one a mature feeling.
Due to that, Song Jia recommended he grow a beard to make up for the age gap.
As expected, the beard that he kept made him look a lot more mature. At a glance, he was not that hot-blooded teen that had just entered the game. Instead, he seemed like a mature uncle.
