Even if he had never seen the current emperor, Tang Yin could guess that the man sitting beside Yin Rou was Son of Heaven Yin Zhun.
Tang Yin looked deeply at Yin Rou, then knelt on one knee, and cupped her hands: "This subject, Tang Yin, greets Your Majesty, Princess!"
Logically speaking, the County Head was a civil servant, but Tang Yin had given him a general's salute. Firstly, he did not consider himself to be a civil servant, and he had also been commanding the army to go to war. Secondly, the civil servant ceremony was to kneel down and kowtow, for Tang Yin's arrogant nature, kneeling down was already the limit of what he could endure.
The man sitting on the collapse was in his early thirties, but he was well-maintained. His skin was fair, delicate, and tender, almost more so than a woman's. He was also very handsome, very similar to Yin Rou. He wore a golden crown on his head, a golden brocade robe, a golden belt at his waist, and golden silk boots at his feet.
Ever since Tang Yin had arrived, his gaze had been fixated on Tang Yin's body, sizing him up, and at the same time, secretly nodding his head. This Tang Yin was actually considered a talented youth, judging from his age, he should be younger than him, and his appearance handsome.
His first impression of Tang Yin was not bad, and he did not mind the matter of him bowing to Tang Yin too much. Looking at Tang Yin who was kneeling in front of him, he smiled slightly and asked softly, "You are Feng Country … "Tang Yin?"
Yin Rou had already mentioned Tang Yin's official position to him, but Yin Zhun had never remembered to mention it. He only remembered that Tang Yin came from the Feng Country and was also in control of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Tang Yin secretly responded with a frown.
"You know the princess?" Yin Zhun didn't immediately let Tang Yin get up. Instead, he raised his teacup and asked slowly.
Before Tang Yin could reply, Yin Rou pushed Yin Zhun's arm and complained in a low voice: "Royal Brother, didn't I tell you before? When I went to the Feng Country, it was because of Tang … Protected by the Master Tang. "
"Ah …" "Ahhh!" Yin Zhun was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was true. He embarrassedly smiled at Yin Rou and said softly, "If royal sister didn't remind us, we would have forgotten about this matter." With that, he waved his hand at Tang Yin, and said: "Tang Yin, you can get up."
"Thank you, your majesty!" When he had yet to meet the Son of Heaven, Tang Yin had thought that the Great Emperor of the Empire would be a great figure, but today, he felt that it was nothing more than this.
"My royal sister has been praising you in front of me, saying that your ability is outstanding and that you're loyal and devoted to me. I wonder if that's true?" Yin Zhun laughed and asked.
If it was any other occasion, or if it was someone else, Tang Yin would definitely have laughed out loud. This kind of question was simply an idiot's question. Could it be that he needed to confirm the other party's ability and loyalty? However, even though he was facing the Son of Heaven, Tang Yin endured it. He turned his gaze and looked at Yin Rou who was beside Yin Zhun. What made Tang Yin laugh was that Yin Rou also rolled her eyes and shook her head helplessly.
Clearing his throat, Tang Yin answered sternly: "This subject is at Feng Country, and with the strength of a county, he is annihilating Zhong Tian the traitor and the four hundred thousand strong Ning Country army that has invaded my Feng Country territory. I believe that Your Majesty has already seen my abilities. Your subject has admired your majesty for a long time, and is loyal to your majesty.
"Yes!" After hearing Tang Yin's words, Yin Zhun nodded his head and laughed heartily. He turned his head and said to Yin Rou: "My beloved deputy Tang is indeed loyal."
Yin Rou laughed, he did not say much, but Tang Yin was silent. He did not know how Yin Zhun came to such a conclusion regarding him, this' loyal servant ', but could it be because of some words that she had said so insincerely?
Yin Zhun didn't care what Yin Rou and Tang Yin thought at all. He continued to speak: "Since Feng Country is ownerless now, this royal sister has proposed to us to make you the Sovereign King of Feng Country. What do you think, My beloved deputy Tang?"
Without even thinking about it, he once again knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands, and said: "This subject thanks Your Highness and Your Highness for their love. If this subject were to become the Feng King, I would do my best to control the Feng Country and give Your Majesty a peaceful border in this prosperous era."
He slowly put down the cup and stared fixedly at Tang Yin, asking each and every word of his with a stern tone: "If I were to grant you the title of emperor, you wouldn't bully me, take me under your wing, and suppress me like those other officials, right?"
"Royal Brother …" These words caused Yin Rou's eyes to redden.
Yin Zhun, the emperor of an empire, seemed to be a high and mighty ruler of tens of thousands of people, but in reality, his situation was also abnormally awkward and exhausting. The previous generation's Son of Heaven did not have the rights and position that the Son of Heaven should have, and only gave him the title of Heavenly Son.
The nine great dukes did not place the Son of Heaven in their eyes, so they naturally did not have much respect for him. Yin Zhun's words of "to bully us, to suppress us," were not without reason. Yin Zhun, who was raised in this kind of environment, had a proud and inferior personality, and was also vain and weak. Therefore, when he heard Tang Yin personally say that he would be loyal to him, he was especially happy, because even if he was loyal to the various king, it would be extremely difficult for him to hear these simple words from the various emperors.
Tang Yin was pleasant to the eyes and very quickly, he understood Yin Zhun's situation and state of mind. He felt touched and inwardly sighed, even the current emperor of the Haotian Empire was not as comfortable as ordinary citizens born in ordinary families. He took a deep breath and said, "This subject will not bully His Majesty. Your Majesty. If anyone dares to do so, I will do my best to raise the entire nation's army to suppress them. I will use Your Majesty's power!"
When Tang Yin finished speaking, Yin Zhun was emotionally moved. He stood up from the collapsed ground and walked over to Tang Yin with large strides, extended his hand to help up, and said with a choked voice: "My beloved deputy is really our loyal servant!"
Yin Rou looked at Tang Yin without even blinking his eyes, as if she wanted to see if he was speaking the truth.
If one were to say that Yin Zhun had a good impression of Tang Yin when they first met, then after their conversation, Yin Zhun's impression of him had improved to the extreme. After he helped Tang Yin up, he pulled his hand and said: "My beloved deputy Tang, let us sit together with you."
Even if Tang Yin did not understand the rules of the palace, he knew that officials did not have the principle of being on equal footing with the emperor. He waved his hand and said, "Please take a seat Your Majesty. This subject will stand here."
"Huh?" Yin Zhun laughed: There is no need to stand on the side of the My beloved deputy Tang in private, come and sit!
Seeing that Tang Yin wanted to reject him, Yin Rou smiled and said to him: "Royal Brother wants you to sit, he will not blame you."
Hearing Yin Rou's words, Tang Yin laughed helplessly and sat by Yin Zhun's side.
Yin Zhun summoned the palace maids and got them to serve Tang Yin a cup of tea. Then, he smiled and said: "We have yet to properly thank you for the matter of My beloved deputy Tang trying to protect my sister with all our might!"
Tang Yin laughed, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is being too courteous, I will do my duty."
Yin Zhun sighed: "Right now, loyal subjects like My beloved deputy Tang are really too few in number."
"Your Majesty is flattering me."
"What's the current situation of the Feng Country?"
"Due to the lack of an owner of the Feng Country, everyone is fighting to be the king of the Feng Country right now. Just when this subject came to Shang Jing, there was another disturbance in the Yan City of Feng Country. Some ministers attacked the palace in an attempt to imitate Zhong Tian, and without going through the bestowment of authority from the Emperor, they had to establish themselves as king." At the same time, it also implied that he respected the emperor Yin Zhun a lot, and even personally came to Shang Jing.
"There's actually such a thing?" When Yin Zhun heard this, he was shocked and angry at the same time. He slammed the table hard and said, "Regarding these random people, My beloved deputy Tang will definitely not show mercy!"
"This subject understands, so this subject is prepared to return to the Feng Country tomorrow and annihilate all of the troublesome subjects!" What Tang Yin meant was, if you want to bestow me the title of king, then do it now.
Yin Zhun did not understand Tang Yin's intention. He thoughtfully pointed and replied: "Returning to the wind tomorrow is good, this matter should be resolved as soon as possible."
Yin Rou, on the other hand, was extremely astonished at Tang Yin's departure from the capital the next day. She never thought that would leave so soon, and who knew how many years it would be when they next meet … She looked at Tang Yin and asked: "Are you really that anxious?"
Tang Yin nodded his head, and said: "If I do not go back to Feng Country to settle this, I am afraid that it will become even more chaotic, and in the end, it will become difficult to settle it."
Yin Zhun said in understanding, "What My beloved deputy Tang said is extremely true."
While the three of them were speaking, a small palace maid walked over and said softly, "Your Majesty."
Yin Zhun raised his head and asked: "What is it?"
"Your Majesty, an envoy from the Chuan Country is outside the palace." The little palace maid respectfully said.
"It's another envoy from the Chuan Country!" Yin Zhun grumbled in annoyance. He clenched his fists and said, "Let him go to Tai Xiang Hall and wait for me!" Taixiang Palace was a side palace of the imperial palace.
"Yes!" Your Majesty! " The little palace maid responded and then leisurely left.
Seeing that Yin Zhun suddenly had matters to attend to, Tang Yin knew that it was impossible for him to receive the title of Heavenly Emperor today. However, it was nothing much, Tang Yin could tell that Yin Zhun had already given his tacit approval to become the Sovereign King of Feng Country. He tactfully stood up, cupped his hands and bowed to Yin Zhun: "Your majesty has matters to attend to, this subject will take his leave first."
At this time, Yin Zhun was clearly a little distracted, he did not ask Tang Yin to stay. He nodded and said: "Alright, after My beloved deputy Tang returns to the Yan City, he has to stabilize the situation of the Feng Country as soon as possible."
"This subject understands!"
Tang Yin cupped his hands again, and slowly retreated. At this time, Yin Rou stood up and said: "I'll send Master Tang out of the palace!"
It was already an inconceivable thing for a grand princess to send a minister out of the palace, but right now, Yin Zhun was only focused on the matter of how to deal with the Chuan Country envoys, so he did not notice that Yin Rou seemed to be getting too close to him.
