Chapter 374

Luoyang, the imperial capital, extends hundreds of miles northward on the original scale of urban construction, and a new city is being born.

In order to fit in with the great virtuous and mighty emperor who will ascend the throne in three days, the Middle Earth Empire was completely restructured, and Luoyang was also renamed Badu.

The Huangfu family used a lot of manpower and material resources to build a magnificent palace in the north of Luoyang in a very short period of time.

This will be the new palace, which will be officially put into use when the new emperor ascends the throne three days later.

Although the imperial palace will not be unsealed until three days later, a large number of new royal family members have already settled here.

These days, outside the new imperial palace, there was an endless stream of carriages and horses from all over the mainland, and almost every member of the imperial family had an endless stream of visitors.

There is no other reason, the new emperor came to the throne, the situation in the government and the opposition changed drastically, everyone was in danger, trying to get in touch with the royal family, understand the new emperor's policy, and protect their own safety.

At this moment, in the new city, outside Huangfuli's palace, a group of tall stone men stood out, and they had been waiting here for a long time.

"Young master, we have been waiting outside for three hours. There are several groups of people from the human race who arrived later than us, but entered the palace earlier. This is clearly a deliberate attempt to neglect our race!"

Several Shizu people said angrily.

"The new emperor ascends the throne. As Huangfu Wuji's eldest son, that is, the future prince, Huangfuli will naturally have more guests. Please wait patiently. As the envoys of the West Desert, he will always meet us."

The young master of the Stone Clan, Shi Jian, said calmly, calming down the emotions of all the clansmen, but he couldn't stop worrying deep in his eyes.

The situation of the Middle Earth Empire has undergone major changes. Huangfu Wuji ascended the throne and invited all ethnic groups in the mainland to participate in the enthronement ceremony.

As the young master of the West Desert Stone Clan, he was of noble blood, and he happened to be studying in Kyushu, so he was sent here by the clan. On the surface, he was to attend the enthronement ceremony, but in fact he was to inquire about the next move of the Huangfu clan.

People in the world are rumoring that Huangfu Wuji has just unified Kyushu and the dark world, and his next move is to sweep away all ethnic groups and unify the entire continent.

As for his enthronement ceremony, he specially invited all ethnic groups in the mainland, and he probably had ulterior motives, perhaps because of the intention of a demonstration.

The senior officials of the Shi clan have been worried about the powerful Huangfu family in recent days. As an important member of the clan, he naturally wants to share the worries of the clan.

Shi Jian had already planned what he would do when he saw Huangfuli today. He hoped to become a friendly envoy between the two races, to enhance mutual understanding, and to maintain the hard-won peace.

It's just that he didn't expect that he came here early in the morning to wait, but Huang Fuli never saw him, instead, several waves of guests who came later were received.

He knew that this was intentional negligence, but he could only restrain his temper and appease the irritable clansmen.

"Young Master Shi, please come in."

Several hours later, it was almost dark, and only then did someone from the palace call for Shi Jian and the others.

Shi Jian couldn't help but get excited, and under the leadership of the eunuch, he entered Huangfuli's palace.

The buildings along the way are magnificent and the carvings are extremely luxurious, which made Shi Jian secretly startled.

The Huangfu family has only been in power for a long time, not only successfully built a new palace, but also made it so magnificent inside, the manpower and material resources consumed are unimaginable.

He couldn't help thinking of the way he came to Luoyang from Zhenwu Academy and saw several waves of victims fleeing Luoyang.

While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.

When the new emperor came to the throne, he didn't know how to sympathize with the people of Li.

He didn't dare to discuss whether this approach was advisable. After entering the palace, he finally met the new crown prince of the dynasty, Huang Fuli.

This Huangfuli was already middle-aged, and his whole face was full of energy and joy at the moment, but he looked a little fat and his face was full of oil.

Shi Jian couldn't help comparing him with the old prince Ji Zefang he had met, and felt that the two were worlds apart in terms of temperament and appearance.

"You are the young master of the Stone Clan, Shi Jian?"

Huangfuli was eating at his seat, when he saw Shi Jian, he asked casually.

He didn't get up, and seemed extremely negligent. Shi Jian recalled that when he happened to meet Ji Zefang at Zhenwu Academy, the other party was like a modest gentleman. Comparing the two, there was a big difference in etiquette.

This Huangfu Li's name has the word "li", but it gave him a rather arrogant feeling, and he felt very sorry for the passing of the crown prince Ji Zefang.

Shi Jian deliberately greeted Huangfuli with the etiquette of the human race, and introduced himself.

Seeing that he was gentle and polite, Huangfuli couldn't help laughing. "I heard that the young master of the Stone Clan is not as rude as the average Stone Clan, but I saw him today. Sit casually, and we will have dinner together."

When Shi Jian heard this, he sat down, and the people from the Shi clan behind him hid their expressions of anger.

The other party's words seemed to praise their young master, but they satirized the entire Stone Clan!

"I heard that Young Master Shi has been devoting himself to the contacts and exchanges between the noble and our races, and even said that he would open up a large oasis in the western desert, so that the races can also have a place to live in the western desert. I don't know if this is true or not?"

A series of delicate dishes were brought to the table, Huangfuli asked with a smile.

"This is indeed the case. We have reached a preliminary cooperation intention with Shenmuzong. We hope to use the next five to ten years to transform the harsh environment of the Western Desert so that all ethnic groups have a good living space in the Western Desert."

Shi Jian nodded hurriedly and said at the same time. "The new emperor's ascension to the throne will require the strong support of the Chinese court. I also hope that His Highness the Crown Prince can speak a few words in front of the new emperor to facilitate this matter."

"Well, Young Master Shi's ideal is great."

Huangfuli said with a smile, but there was sarcasm in the depths of his eyes.

In his opinion, the other party's idea is simply whimsical, people who are not my race must have different minds, who would like to live with the vulgar and lowly Stone Race?

He already knew his father's thoughts on the West Desert Stone Clan. The West Desert has extremely rich mineral resources and must be captured. As for the West Desert Stone Clan, his father has never taken it seriously.

Because he knew his father's attitude towards the Shi clan, Huangfu Li also felt a little contemptuous, especially Shi Jian was young and cute, and he couldn't help but have the idea of ​​teasing him.

"Although Young Master Shi's ideals are good, different ethnic groups need to understand each other, not just words, but actions."

"Just to use an analogy, there is a saying in my human race that when you come to the country, do as the Romans do. Since Young Master Shi has come to me, he should drink wine and eat at the same table with me, so that we can understand each other, right?"

Huangfuli glanced at the delicacies in front of Shi Jian with a smile, and motioned him to move his chopsticks.

"This……"

Shi Jian understood what he meant and couldn't help showing hesitation.

Everyone knows that the West Desert Stone Clan cannot eat human food. They live on ore. If they eat human food, they will suffer from diarrhea at least, and die at worst.

Shi Jian's cultivation base is strong, and it is impossible to lose his life by eating a little food from the human race, but eating this kind of food is no different to eating bad water for him.

"What's the matter, Young Master Shi keeps saying that he wants to enhance the friendship between you and my race, but he refuses to eat the food from my race? This makes me very disappointed."

Huangfuli shook his head and sighed.

Hearing this, Shi Jian gritted his teeth and forced a smile.

"I'll eat, let's taste the food of the human race today."

He imitated the human race to use chopsticks, and the stone clan people behind him turned pale with shock.
