It's just that what Zhou Chen did last night made many people feel cold. He completely ignored the law and used lynching and wanton killing of third-rank officials of the imperial court.
It's fear in the heart.
Zhou Chen didn't care what others thought of him. He did nothing else today. He personally presided over the funeral of Lao Dou's family. Everyone who went with him yesterday also attended the funeral.
When Lao Dou's family died, there was no sound, but because of Zhou Chen's presence, their funeral became a little different, except that people died like lights going out, and they couldn't see it.
After the funeral, as soon as Zhou Chen returned to the house, Tong Quan came over to report that many people in Kyoto had sent messages and gifts today.
Tong Quan didn't dare to accept the gift, but she did accept the posts. Many of them were greetings, and some were invitations to Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen just looked at it casually. The people who sent the posts were all extraordinary, but he casually threw them aside.
In the evening, Emperor Qing's oral instructions came from the palace.
The person who delivered the message was Emperor Qing's confidant Eunuch Hou. He was responsible for delivering the oral message, but he had already drank two cups of tea and still didn't see Zhou Chen.
When Tong Quan, who had gone to report the matter, came back, he hurriedly asked: "Is Mr. Zhou not here?"
Tong Quan looked apologetic: "Father, I'm really sorry. Our young master's old injury has relapsed. He is recovering from his injuries and can't see anyone."
Eunuch Hou was stunned: "Mr. Zhou is a great master, how could he be injured?"
Tong Quan showed a sad expression: "It was an injury I sustained during a sword duel with Si Gu Jian. I had no choice but to move my hand last night, which caused the old injury to relapse. I don't know what my father-in-law is here for. I can help spread the word."
Eunuch Hou remained calm, but in his heart he didn't believe it at all. He was a liar. He looked like he was hurt at all like yesterday.
But of course he couldn't show it. Instead, he said Emperor Qing's oral instructions in a pleasant manner, saying that there would be a court meeting tomorrow and asked Zhou Chen to attend.
After sending Eunuch Hou away, Tong Quan came to Zhou Chen's yard, where Zhou Chen was carving with a carving knife.
"You want me to attend the court meeting tomorrow? I have no official status and I have not inherited the title. How can I attend the morning court? Tong Quan, go and write me a note. Even if I am seriously injured and unable to move, I will not go to the court meeting."
Tong Quan showed hesitation: "Master, after all, this is His Majesty's order. Is this really good?"
Zhou Chen said lightly: "What's wrong? A grand master must behave like a grand master. Although I don't care much about this, I can't lower the status of a grand master. What's more, this majesty may not really want to
If you want to see me, after all, no matter how deep a person hides, he will still be afraid of revealing his flaws."
Emperor Qing had always concealed his martial arts skills because he was afraid that people would see that he was a great master.
Zhou Chen is the Grand Master, and as someone of the same level as him, he will naturally worry about being seen through, but as the emperor, it is impossible for him not to summon Zhou Chen, the newly promoted Grand Master.
Zhou Chen felt that if he refused to go, Emperor Qing would not blame him, but would actually breathe a sigh of relief.
It just so happened that Zhou Chen didn't want to see Emperor Qing, an old majesty, and was too lazy to deal with him hypocritically.
Due to Emperor Qing's character, from the moment he became the Grand Master, it was destined that they would not be able to have a normal relationship between king and minister.
What's more, Zhou Chen also dislikes Emperor Qing, and now he has the right to ignore him. If Emperor Qing doesn't plot against him, and doesn't target him, they can at least maintain a friendly relationship on the surface. If Emperor Qing wants to plot against him, he will
He would not be polite to Emperor Qing either.
Of course, due to mission reasons, he still had to find an opportunity to fight Emperor Qing.
But Zhou Chen didn't know that he didn't attend the court meeting, but there was a lot of commotion at the court meeting the next day because of him.
