*****
The next day King Xiao Dong held a meeting of the royal hall welcoming Xiao Feng's return and also discussed the results of the meeting between the kingdoms yesterday, all the ranks of the Minister and the three Princes, except for Queen Xiao Lian, have been gathered for a visit to her clan in the North of Youngzhou. The meeting began with a speech from Xiao Dong.
"Thank you for taking the time to attend this meeting, I have this meeting to welcome the return of the Second Prince and discuss the results of yesterday's meeting represented by the First Prince" said Xiao Dong beginning with a spirit he looked to everyone present.
"Welcome back the Second Prince to the palace safely" Chen Nian said and followed the others. Xiao Feng cupped both hands.
"Thank you, because of your blessing I can return safely!"
"Xiao Chen explained the results of yesterday's meeting!" the Xiao Dong. Xiao Chen took one step forward and bowed his body first.
"Ijin Ananda explained, yesterday at the meeting of the Bianfeng Emperor kingdom discussed the turmoil that occurred in the Qingzhou kingdom, namely the attack of ferocious beasts that invaded the western part of the kingdom, which is the most dangerous, we decided to send the best man to help Qingzhou kingdom" Xiao Chen said, retreating back to his place.
"That is the result of the encounter and it seems that the wave of beasts will return at any time, what do you think should be done?" asked Xiao Dong. Chen Nian took a step forward.
"Honor the King, I agree to send people to Qingzhou kingdom so that we can help as well as learn to face the beasts if at any time attack our territory"
"But Minister Chen the wave of ferocious beasts is only attacking Qingzhou and the distance from our territory is very far isn't it an exaggeration if we send people, wouldn't the imperial party just stay silent" Prime Minister Qin said.
"It is true what Prime Minister Qin said, but we must remember that on the eastern side of Qingzhou kingdom there is also a vast forest inhabited by wild beasts as well, he said, we all know that the eastern region has a river as a barrier, but we must anticipate it could be Qingzhou" said Prime Minister Wang. Xiao Dong listened first to the opinions of everyone.
"What do the princes think?" xiao Dong asked as he looked towards the three princes. Xiao Jun took a step forward.
"Dad, ananda thinks the same as Prime Minister Qin if we don't need to send people, Qingzhou itself is a powerful kingdom and must have anticipated it, if we send people isn't it a waste!"
"I agree"
"I agree"
The two Ministers agreed to Xiao Jun's opinion, Xiao Jun smiled faintly then returned to his place. Xiao Dong who was sitting on his throne stroked his chin thinking of something.
"If according to the First Prince what should we be like?" now Xiao Dong asked Xiao Chen, when Xiao Chen was about to reply, suddenly a guard shout sounded.
"The Imperial Envoy Arrives"
Everyone was shocked except Xiao Feng and Xiao Chen for guessing the purpose of the envoy. Xiao Dong immediately ordered the envoy to enter.At a moment later the Imperial Envoy entered the hall, when in front of Xiao Dong the envoy immediately saluted.
"Honor to King Youngzhou may the King live a long life!"
"What honor do you have until the emissary all the way from the empire comes to my kingdom?" asked Xiao Dong. The envoy then took out a black and gold colored paper scroll.
Xiao Dong immediately descended from the throne then knelt down with everyone following. The messenger immediately opened the scroll and read out the contents.
"I on behalf of Emperor Huangzhou wrote an edict for Youngzhou, Youngzhou Kingdom has a talented and virtuous son. As a prince, he understands his duty and responsibility to the country, he has the nature of being a true leader. To this day thanks to his hard work and efforts, Qingzhou can temporarily overcome the dangers that threaten him. I Huang Bianfeng gave credit to the Second Prince Youngzhou who had helped Qingzhou, hence I gave one eastern border town to be managed by Youngzhou. I hope that King Xiao Dong can carry out his duties properly" The envoy finished reading out the credits and handed the decree to Xiao Dong. Xiao Dong got up and followed everyone then took one step forward and accepted the decree with both hands.
"I Xiao Dong received the decree" he said, then he walked back and sat down on his throne.
"King, the Emperor bestowed this award thanks to Second Prince Youngzhou who contributed to helping build a defensive fortress to withstand the waves of ferocious beasts in Qingzhou, where is now the Prince?" said envoy.
"Feng'er introduce yourself!"
Xiao Feng took one step forward then cupped his hands together towards the envoy "Greet the envoy, I am Second Prince Xiao Feng, may the envoy and emperor always be healthy"
"I don't dare to accept the Prince's respect, it turns out that the Prince is indeed handsome and extraordinary, surely Princess Hua is always guarding from above the sky" said the envoy with a smile.
"I'm definitely here too thanks to my father's upbringing who loves me too!"
"The Emperor is very grateful to the Prince, King I have to leave because my duty is done"
"South, the trip to Huangzhou is very far and time-consuming should the envoy rest first just continue the journey" Xiao Feng said, The envoy was silent for a moment thinking about it. Xiao Dong added.
"True, the journey is very tiring should the messenger rest first"
"Okay, I take orders!" said the envoy while cupping his hands then Xiao Dong told Kasim to take the envoy to rest.
Now that the meeting resumed, Xiao Dong smiled happily.
"Today the sky blessed Youngzhou thanks to Feng'er we were given a very big gift hahaha, and I will give this city to be managed by Feng'er as a tribute because of his actions!"
"Thank you dad!"
"Dad wouldn't it be an exaggeration if we were managed by second brother, wouldn't the city be on the border quite far from the capital. As a prince we should not be too far away from the palace territory" Xiao Jun suddenly said.
"What the Third Prince said was indeed true, but the Second Prince's actions in Qingzhou were also extraordinary. By building the fortress his actions were equal to fighting 50,000 troops, I agreed to the King's orders" Chen Nian said and most of the Ministers confirmed and agreed to it. Xiao Jun felt indignant in his heart, he lost another step to Xiao Feng.
"Rightly what Minister Chen said, after all Feng'er has often ventured but still carries out his duties as a prince so there is no need to worry about Feng'er being able to take care of himself" Xiao Dong said. Chen Nian smilingly looked towards Xiao Feng, he felt the right decision followed the Second Prince, Xiao Feng was certainly happy with being given the city because he knew that the city was the first place to establish the Black Crow Pavilion, naturally Xiao Feng was very familiar with the city.
The meeting ended with a satisfied look from everyone except Xiao Jun, the Ministers and the royal dignitaries today were very grateful to Xiao Feng who had given his name to Youngzhou Kingdom. Everyone then left the hall and continued their respective activities.
