Chapter 181 At the Golden Palace

Hua Kai followed the steps of all the family heads and slowly entered the "Golden Palace". The area of ​​the "Golden Palace" was more than 5,000 square meters. The pillars of the hall were nearly ten meters high. All the pillars were made of gold and engraved with exquisite patterns!

The hall was divided into three major areas. The King of Qi sat on the throne made of purple gold. Looking at the various gems carved on the throne, it could not be made without thousands of taels of purple gold.

More than 20 Qi officials stood on the second step. They were all representatives of families above the sixth rank in Linzi City. At the bottom of the third area were hundreds of Qi officials below the seventh rank. All the family heads who came in from outside the hall followed them consciously.

"This year, the Tian family led the battle of Leling City. Qi was defeated despite its absolute superiority in military strength! The main responsibility lies with the Tian family's command, but many of our families performed well and made outstanding military achievements."

When the King of Qi said this, everyone in the hall couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts. The King of Qi put all the responsibility for the defeat on the Tian family. Did the Qi family intend to have a full showdown with the Tian family? In this case, what should the various families in Qi do?

"The head of the Tian family personally came to the palace to confess his guilt last night. The king does not intend to pursue the matter further because of the Tian family's hard work and great contributions over the years. Reward those who have made contributions and punish those who have made mistakes! Everyone present today has made contributions in this battle and deserves to be rewarded!" After the King of Qi finished speaking, he looked at the old eunuch next to him. Everyone in the audience had not recovered from the shock!

The old eunuch began to read out the rewards. The three third-grade families in Linzi City were at the forefront. There were a lot of gold and brocade, but their value was only tens of thousands of gold. The three third-grade families came forward to thank the gift, and everyone knew that the Tian family was really finished this time!

What everyone didn't expect was that after the three major families were rewarded, the next one to be rewarded would be the Hua family in Guang County City!

"The King of Qi ordered: The Hua family in Guang County is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. In the battle of Leling City, they killed a Yan State Xiantian Realm, and fought nearly a hundred people below Xiantian. Although the head of the Hua family, Hua Kai, is a teenager, he has the appearance of becoming a saint. He is specially promoted to the ninth-grade family in Guang County, and rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, a hundred catties of spiritual rice, ten pieces of brocade, and a set of [fish scale armor]!" The old eunuch's voice hovered over the hall.

Hua Kai quietly stepped forward and thanked the King of Qi who was sitting on the upper seat! At this time, the old eunuch handed him a token.

Many families were surprised when they heard this. The King of Qi said that the head of the Hua family had the appearance of a saint, so it must not be said casually.

The saint is an existence with the same status as the seven great lords. If Hua Kai grows up, it is inevitable that the Hua family will enter the ranks of the third-grade noble families. At this moment, everyone's eyes suddenly changed when they looked at the figure who was going to receive the reward.

The head of the Jia family looked at Hua Kai who was standing in front and was excited. The Hua family was promoted to a noble family by the King of Qi himself, and the Tian family had collapsed, so the choice of the Jia family was right. The Jia family can also share the dividends of the rapid development of the Hua family after the promotion of the noble family. Compared with the real strength, neither the Han family nor the Li family is the opponent of the Hua family.

Hua Kai was also crying and laughing in his heart. The King of Qi was a man of his word. Wouldn't this bring hatred to himself? But at this time he could only accept it silently.

Hua Kai was about to leave after taking the token, but the old eunuch motioned Hua Kai to stand on the second step. Hua Kai resisted in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. He didn't dare to go against the King of Qi's intention.

On the second step, all the heads of the Qi family smiled and saluted him, and Hua Kai returned the salute one by one.

There were nearly a hundred families who were rewarded. Some families were promoted, but most families only received some material rewards. These were far less meaningful than the Hua family becoming a new family. Many people stared at the young man in front of them who was praised by the King of Qi as having the appearance of a saint. Each family had different ideas.

Hua Kai heard that the Li family of Guang County was rewarded with a fifth-grade spear and 100 taels of gold. The name of the Han family of Guang County only appeared at the end, and the 50 taels of gold could only be considered a token.

After the reward was completed, the old eunuch announced the adjournment of the court. Today was just a reward. When the King of Qi withdrew from the second-floor steps of the "Golden Palace", all the heads of the families looked at Hua Kai walking over.

"Meet the Holy Son Hua!" The Kuang family, a third-grade family in Linzi City, had always followed the footsteps of the Qi family. He spoke first.

"Meet the head of the Kuang family!" Hua Kai returned the greeting.

Since the King of Qi said that he had the appearance of a saint, he had to accept it even if he didn't. Many of the seven major countries have their own holy sons. Holy sons are a respectful title and a responsibility.

It doesn't mean that the saints will definitely reach the peak of the golden elixir realm or foundation building realm in the end, it only means that they have the possibility of reaching this realm.

Even so, the saints who are called saints can reach the foundation building realm at the worst, so generally the status of saints in a country is lower than the foundation building realm, but higher than the innate realm.

Hua Kai saw many family heads coming forward to salute him. They didn't enter the foundation building realm, but with the words of King Qi, it was right to salute Hua Kai. Hua Kai returned the salute to everyone one by one.

After leaving the Jinluan Palace, all the families below the seventh rank in Linzi City came to salute him. Hua Kai was busy dealing with them. At this time, the close attendant of King Qi came to Hua Kai.

"Meet the inner official!" Hua Kai said while saluting.

"Master Hua, you're welcome. This old servant will bring a message to Master Hua on behalf of the king. Master Hua, don't waste your talent. Young people start learning at the age of 12. If you don't accumulate enough basic knowledge, your future will be limited. Master Hua, don't waste your talent!" The old eunuch said to Hua Kai.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Hua Kai bowed his head and said.

"Then I'll take my leave!" The old eunuch said and left!

Hua Kai suddenly felt a headache. All the noble families knew that sending the family genius to the academy was for learning, but more importantly, it was to serve as a hostage to maintain the rule of the master family.

The King of Qi asked Hua Kai not to waste his talent, but he did not tell him to go to the [Jixia Academy]. This was to let him enter the Guangxian Academy first.

Guangxian Academy was opened by the Han family, so the King of Qi still agreed that the Han family should preside over the affairs of Guangxian City. This was to prevent the Hua family from opposing the Han family in Guangxian. The Qi family still hoped to maintain the status quo.

Come to think of it, the Qi family made the Tian family bow their heads. Now is the time to win over all forces. They don't want Qi to have too much change. Guangxian City will still be dominated by the Han family for a long time in the future!

Leaving the "Golden Palace" and returning to the "Yangyuntai", Hua Kai saw his fifth uncle Hua Zichen looking at him with concern.

Hua Zichen just saw many heads of noble families congratulating him, including some of them from rank 6 and above. Seeing their enthusiastic appearance, it was far from being as simple as the Hua family being promoted to a noble family. He didn't know what happened at the court meeting, but he felt relieved to see that Hua Kai was safe and sound.

Hua Kai and his uncle returned to the official inn. On the way, they met many heads of noble families who took the initiative to salute Hua Kai. Hua Kai also returned the salutes one by one, accepting the identity of "Holy Son".

After entering the guest room, Hua Kai told Hua Zichen everything that happened in the "Golden Palace", but Hua Zichen was not surprised.

"Kai'er, there have always been holy sons in the Jixia Academy, but only one in ten can reach the foundation-building stage. The King of Qi said this to praise you, so that ordinary noble families dare not take action against the Hua family. And this is also the affirmation of your talent by the Qi family." Hua Zichen said to Hua Kai.

So this is still a kind of protection from the King of Qi for himself and the Hua family? Hua Kai used a [Hundred-Year-Longevity Pill] to exchange for the King of Qi to propose marriage to Hua Zichen. There are already many things involved. The Hua family should have received a lot, but the King of Qi gave Hua Kai and the Hua family so much protection. It can only be said that he really values ​​Hua Kai.

Hua Kai sighed deeply. This time, the King of Qi gave him the title of [Holy Son], which completely disrupted his own plan. He and the entire Hua family will be paid attention to by more people. It is basically impossible to develop in a wretched way!

The wisdom of the King of Qi is amazing. He gave Hua Kai a "Holy Son" title, and the Hua family was labeled as the Qi family. The Hua family began to be slowly paid attention to by the four forces. Slowly, when the Hua family encountered increasing pressure from all sides, they would become more and more dependent on the Qi family. What did the Qi family pay? Just a word from the King of Qi!

The two were chatting, and someone knocked on the door and said that the palace had sent the reward. Hua Zichen received the reward and planned to go home as soon as possible. Many people at home were probably waiting anxiously!

The BMW was pulled out of the official inn, and the two were ready to go home. Many people outside Linzi City still did not enter the city. This year's wolf disaster had just passed. Although winter had already begun, the number of wild beasts was still very rare, which allowed ordinary people to stay outside the city for a few more days and save some living expenses in the city.

At noon, Hua Kai returned home and told everyone in the family that Huajiabao had become a ninth-grade family. The whole Huajiabao cheered happily, and the villagers and servants all went to tell each other.

Hua Xing was so excited that he couldn't speak. Hua Zijie had already started preparing for the celebration. Hua Kai asked the workshop to make exquisite invitations, all of which were plated with silver and made of gold. The entire invitation was made exquisitely. From today on, the Hua family is a noble family!

In the afternoon, Huajiabao had already spontaneously held a banquet. Hua Kai originally planned to start a three-day banquet tomorrow morning. Who knew that the villagers couldn't help it in the afternoon and moved out the tables and chairs to celebrate. Seeing this, Hua Kai had to ask the chef to start a buffet from tonight. When it got dark, the whole Huajiabao was decorated with lights and the villagers wore their best clothes.

Without Hua Kai's organization, the whole Huajiabao became lively. Hua Kai sent out nearly a hundred invitations before dark. In the evening, people from the seven major villages outside the city, including the Huang family and the Geng family, came. They all rode overnight to come to Huajiabao to congratulate.

After a while, all the families in Guang County who were close to the Hua family also came. The Jia family even sent generous gifts. The Ren family, the Tai family, etc. also sent people to explore the way first. Tomorrow, their heads of families will bring core members of the family to congratulate.

Hua Kai was experiencing the joy of all the villagers in the village. He remembered the [Family Order] that King Qi gave him today, and took it out to study it!
