Douluo: Xiu Xuanjun seven chapters, become the compassionate medicine king!

Chapter 13 Deadly Remonstrance
A few days later...

The avenue leading directly to the palace was divided, and a large number of city guards were deployed around it, prohibiting any outsiders from approaching.

Carriages pulled by two or three horses were running on the road, in an orderly and clearly divided manner.

Suddenly, a carriage pulled by four horses passed through the crowd of carriages, which attracted the attention of many people. They looked at it carefully for a while, but could not find any relevant clues in their memory. This made them begin to wonder who was in the carriage.

It was not until they saw the extraordinary beauty coming down from the outside of the imperial city that they were stunned. Not only because of her enchanting temperament and attractive appearance, but also because she did not match any of the people they thought were qualified to ride four horses.

This was a character that was totally unexpected to them.

But some people recognized him, including those who had participated in the secret meeting, including Finance Minister Armand. Seeing the slave taken away by Gerard actually getting down from the four-horse carriage, Armand's face turned pale instantly.

Regardless of the other party's status, since he could ride on a four-horse carriage in the morning court with great fanfare, it must be a reward from the emperor in person. When I think about the fact that the two of them had met, and that the slave had told the emperor about the secret meeting...

Thinking of this, Armand suddenly felt his body go limp. If the servant beside him had not quickly pulled him back, he would have made a fool of himself in front of so many ministers.

After regaining his footing, he was still a little dazed when he saw Helar walk up to the slave. The two of them walked in, talking and laughing. Seeing this scene, he gritted his teeth and cursed Helar in his heart as a traitor.

Pushing away the servant who was supporting him, Armand walked quickly inside, taking two steps at a time. He had to do something before the situation got out of control.

Rushing forward, then slowing down a few meters behind, Armand greeted them with a grin, "Good morning, both of you!"

By the time they reached the main hall of the Imperial Palace, the three of them had become friends who seemed to have known each other for decades.

Walking into the main hall, everyone stopped talking and stood there quietly waiting for the morning court to begin. Not long after, a voice suddenly rang out.

"His Majesty is here!"

Many ministers who were resting with their eyes closed in the hall opened their eyes and looked at each other, and they all saw the surprise in their colleagues' eyes.

It's no wonder they were surprised, because ever since Emperor Douling pursued immortality, he has never attended the morning court again. The meaning of the morning court has disappeared, and the reason why everyone still comes is basically just for the formality.

In fact, all matters and policies to be decided were handed over to the superior ministers by the lower-level officials early on, allowing the superior ministers to make their own decisions. Only some important ones would be submitted to the emperor for processing.

After listening to Helar's soft-spoken narration, Lu Chun was also surprised. He thought that his respected emperor was quite capable of suppressing the rebellion that the entire empire dared not openly engage in without attending court.

After a brief moment of astonishment, the ministers hurriedly straightened their appearance, stood there with their backs straight and solemn expressions, and greeted the Douling Emperor in unison when he walked into the hall.

Only a few people at the front did not bow, which meant that each of them was a noble who was at least a duke and owned a territory. They were subjects of the emperor, but not his subjects.

This included Lu Chun, who didn't even show basic etiquette and just stood there like a wooden man, which made the ministers even more confused.

Sitting on the honorable seat, Emperor Douling glanced at his ministers. Everyone he glanced at lowered their heads, which showed the emperor's great power.

Emperor Douling said calmly: "I haven't seen you all for a long time. I miss you very much. If you have any memorials, please submit them."

The ministers who had felt a chill in their bones after hearing the emperor's first two words were stunned when they heard the second sentence. Was it really just an ordinary court session? Has His Majesty changed his temper?
The ministers, full of complaints, looked at each other imperceptibly and saw the embarrassment in their colleagues' eyes. The ministers were used to working at home and they would go to court in whatever way was convenient for them, so why would they carry heavy memorials with them?

Finally, someone mustered up the courage to stand up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is a sage king that is rarely seen in a thousand years. Under your Majesty's governance, the country is peaceful and the people are prosperous. It has been a long time since any major incident has occurred."

"Ah."

After hearing this compliment, the Douling Emperor, whose expression was unrecognizable, nodded slightly, then said slowly: "Since it's nothing serious, I have something to say."

"Pharmacist, stand in the middle."

Lu Chun, who had been prepared, stepped out slowly and faced the stunned ministers with a smile.

The Douling Emperor stood up from the throne and walked down step by step, saying as he walked: "From now on, the pharmacist will be the state teacher of our Douling Empire, in charge of all temples and sacrifices in the country..."

Walking in front of Lu Chun, Emperor Douling repeated the words he had said about rewarding him that night. By the time he finished speaking, all the ministers had already been in a daze for a long time.

Armand glanced at Gerard who had a calm expression on his side. It was obvious that the other party had known about this for a long time. No, perhaps he was the one who instigated this matter. This made him unable to see Gerard's position clearly.

Emperor Douling said again: "Do you have anything else to say?"

Finally someone came to his senses and said in fear, "Your Majesty, this cannot happen! The position of the Imperial Master is so important, how can you let this person with unknown origin take the position! I beg Your Majesty to take back your decision!"

"Your Majesty, I beg you to revoke your order!"

All the ministers knelt down and begged. They did not say anything about the exaggerated rewards for Lu Chun. After all, there had been several similar situations during the decades of Emperor Douling's reign. However, they absolutely could not ignore the fact that Lu Chun became the imperial teacher.

In Lu Chun's previous life, the title of Imperial Master was just a title, lingering outside the court system and would only be remembered when arranging sacrifices.

But in this world where gods exist, the National Master holds a truly important position, in charge of all sacrifices and temples, big or small, which means that the National Master is the spokesperson for the gods on earth!
And the spokesperson is truly favored by God!
The scene that Lu Chun imagined appeared. A minister took off his official robe, knelt on the ground and shouted, "Your Majesty, please take back your order! Otherwise, I will die in this palace today!"

Seeing someone suing for death, Emperor Douling's face darkened and he said in a cold voice: "Want to die? How about I personally send you off!"

"Golden Knight!"

The Golden Riding Douluo appeared and swung his sword towards the minister, but the next moment two more ministers blocked his way. The sword stopped abruptly and he turned his head slightly to look at the Douling Emperor.

"Hahaha! Good! Good! You are indeed worthy of being my good subjects! Loyal subjects! They are all loyal subjects!" Emperor Douling laughed out of anger, and his words made his ministers tremble.

"Kill! Killing one is killing! Killing a pair is killing! In that case! I might as well kill them all so that I can be completely at peace!"

　I would like to explain here the various names and sentences that combine Eastern and Western elements in the text. As the original work was produced more than ten years ago, it contains a lot of Eastern and Western elements, so what I have said here is in line with the original work.

　　Avoid this aspect in the future and try to follow the Eastern way.
