"A ninth-level martial artist has to keep his tail between his legs, and you, a self-righteous frog in the well, even if you are an innate master, you should learn to distinguish what you can do and what you can't accomplish." Zhang Tao's hair turned back to black.
, and the depths of Wang Ke's eyes were filled with a trace of disbelief! He knew his own body! He was no longer a person in this world.
Finally, Zhang Tao turned around and looked at Shi Geng. Shi Geng was trembling and had lost the ability to resist. The master of Wu Qi Chao Yuan said it would take seconds? He was actually a ninth-level martial artist? How could it be possible?
"Huanran! Everyone present! Leave no one behind!" Zhang Tao said coldly.
"Run away!" Zhang Tao's words took away everyone's hope. They jumped over the wall in a hurry, seeking an impossible hope, and scattered. However, it was really ridiculous to face a trapped beast like Zhang Tao and Qin Huanran.
Soon, everyone present was killed. Shi Geng still had fear and unwillingness on his face. Even now, he couldn't figure out why an innate master died at the hands of a ninth-level martial artist. What was his biggest reliance?
Will it be a joke?
"What should I do? Is this all?" Qin Huanran asked, looking at the corpses on the ground.
This is a palace, not an ordinary wilderness. Just kill him. "Get rid of the smell of blood first, and then I will go find the emperor myself." Zhang Tao said lightly.
No matter what, the smell of blood could not affect Wang. She was a weak woman and could not stand such a pungent smell. The first thing Zhang Tao did was to summon all the guards and tell the story exactly as it was. "
They broke into my courtyard without permission and were killed on the spot by me. However, because they have official positions, I have to go to see the emperor. You still have to perform your duties. Don't be confused. Do you understand?
"If Zhang Tao had said these words before, the people below might have gone on strike collectively.
But now they are at a loss and don't know what to do? Because they seem to have lost their backbone and don't know who to turn to. Everyone, look at me and I look at you, and are confused.
Zhang Tao gestured to Chen Mi at this time, "Didn't you hear what the commander said? Don't you know what it means to disobey the commander's order?" Chen Mi said sharply.
"Yes!" Chen Mi's words prompted the guards present to respond one by one. "During my absence, Chen Mi will temporarily take my place. Do you understand that you must obey his orders?" Zhang Tao asked coldly.
"Yes, Lord Commander!"
Nodding with satisfaction, Zhang Tao returned to the other courtyard and put on his official clothes, then took off his peeping clothes and put them in his hands, and walked towards the imperial study room in a hurry.
After waiting for a while, Zhang Tao got the order to enter. Before Gu Longtian could say anything, Zhang Tao knelt down on one knee. "Your Majesty, the guilty minister Zhang Tao has come to pay homage. Please allow the guilty minister to remove his armor and return to his fields! I am a lonely fellow countryman!" Zhang Tao had a look on his face.
lamented, but Gu Longtian was puzzled, "Zhang Tao, please stand up, why did you say this?" In fact, Gu Longtian knew very well in his heart, but this scene must go on.
Zhang Tao vividly told the whole story of the matter, and the one that favored him was the one sentence, and the one that targeted Wang Xi and Wang Ke was the key points. Although Gu Longtian looked serious, he was speechless in his heart.
Where did this kid, at such a young age, learn these skills of being an official?"
"Your Majesty! Although the guilty minister acted in accordance with the law and had a clear conscience, he still killed Wang Ke, who was enshrining the temple. Although the guilty minister did not know that the other person was a person who worshiped the temple, and it was out of self-defense, the crime is a crime.
The enshrinements in the palace are all seniors who have made many contributions to the palace! After committing such a crime, how can I have the face to stay in the palace?" Zhang Tao looked sad, as if he had let go of a huge mistake.
Gu Longtian was amused in his heart. On the one hand, you said that you made a mistake, but on the other hand, you said that you had a clear conscience and that you acted in accordance with the law? If I really punished the person, wouldn't it mean that others would say that I ignored the law?
Of course, this was Gu Longtian's idea. "Hey... Zhang Tao, what are you guilty of? As the saying goes, he who doesn't know is not guilty, and you are the commander of the Forbidden Palace. You care about my safety and serve me wholeheartedly. Although the king
Ke is a person from the Enshrinement Hall, but he did not reveal his identity and took action directly. It is natural for you to suspect that he is an assassin and kill him. You don't have to blame yourself for such a thing. Of course, I will not do this either.
I blame you, so you can live in peace." Gu Longtian said.
After hearing Gu Longtian's words, Zhang Tao shouted "Long live Long Live Long Live Long Live" before standing up. "The Emperor clearly understands everything, and I admire him greatly." Since he has been given a step, does Zhang Tao still need to hesitate? Just walk down.
However, after such an incident, Zhang Tao also affirmed one thing. The emperor knew what he was doing. He didn't expect that listening to the master's talk about some court matters before would actually be so effective now. In the past, he had scorned it, but
Now it seems to have endless uses.
"Okay, I don't intend to pursue this matter, but the two deputy commanders are dead, and you can't accomplish anything by yourself. Do you have a ###?" Gu Longtian asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, the former deputy commander, Chen Mi!, was a talented person. He was dismissed because of a small mistake he made. But now he has changed his mind and no longer makes mistakes. Wei Chen believes that he is the best candidate for the position of deputy commander.
." Zhang Tao said respectfully.
"I heard that Qin Huanran also followed him into the city, right? He is also a talented person, I think he is not as good as him?" Gu Longtian did not explain directly, but asked Zhang Tao for his opinion, "Brother Qin just accompanied Wei Chen here, and Wei Chen is very friendly.
I'm grateful, but Brother Qin doesn't seem to have any intention of becoming an official."
"So, I understand, and tomorrow I will also give you an imperial edict. Although women cannot be brought into the forbidden palace, but this woman's situation is special, and she has a close relationship with you, I will make an exception and allow her to live there.
In the Forbidden Palace, you don't have to worry about someone coming to catch your pigtails in the future." Gu Longtian said calmly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Tao was neither surprised nor overjoyed, with a calm face, but he secretly sighed in his heart. He is worthy of being an emperor, and he is indeed a good man. He just mentioned the word "king" lightly, and he actually gave him an amulet. It's really true.
It's so perfect.
"Don't be too busy saying thank you. The state-owned legal family has family rules, and the enshrinement hall naturally has its own rules. Although I will not pursue you if you kill the person who worships the enshrinement hall, the enshrinement hall will not let it go. You need to go
Whether the enshrining hall is recognized by the great elder is a blessing or a curse, you can only rely on yourself. Back off!" Gu Longtian waved his hand.
"Yes! I am retiring!" Zhang Tao felt mixed feelings. It seemed that killing a Wang Ke still caused a fishy smell. It was not that simple to escape unscathed.
"It's better to go back and announce the order first. Regarding the enshrinement hall... let's take it one step at a time." Zhang Tao thought as he walked towards the East Palace.
After Zhang Tao left, Lin Qian came out and said, "How's it going? This kid acted out a show of pleading guilty, and then made another move to retreat in order to advance, forcing me to let him go and give him so many benefits.
You are so brave." Although he said this, Gu Longtian had a smile on his face.
Lin Qian bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise, Zhang Tao is my good brother. He used to be honest and honest. He may have experienced too much before he has changed like this, but he is indeed a useful talent."
"Well, I think so too. He is still young, and my position will one day be passed on to the next generation. I also hope that he can assist the future prince well. Only in this way can I rest assured." Gu Longtian said.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qian's eyes flashed with an imperceptible light, while Zhang Tao, who hurried to the East Palace, met a familiar stranger!
This person is Lu Kong from Mengran Academy. Zhang Tao has a good impression of him, but he is not very familiar with it. "Master Lu!" Zhang Tao clasped his fists.
"Master Zhang! I wonder if you look in a hurry. What's the important matter?" Lu Kong asked.
"It's hard to say enough. If I have free time, I will definitely have a drink with Mr. Lu."
"Haha! Then I'll look forward to good news, but it's a pity that Lu didn't compete with Mr. Zhang. I wonder if Mr. Zhang can give me a favor?"
Zhang Tao was stunned for a moment, then said, "Since Mr. Lu is interested in this, Zhang will sacrifice his life to accompany you!"
"Okay! It's a deal!"
In fact, Zhang Tao has a certain interest in Lu Kong's tricks and how strong he is. What kind of strong man would make Sima Changkong use fatigue tactics to consume him instead of fighting him directly?
Returning to the East Palace, Gu Longtian's order was announced, and Chen Mi finally returned to his position. At this moment, Chen Mi, a seven-foot-old man, burst into tears. He couldn't stop the tears, "Thank you, sir! Chen Mi will definitely be a gentleman in this life."
I will swear allegiance to you!" With such a close friend, what more can I ask for? Chen Mi is now willing to devote his life to Zhang Tao!
"Chen Mi, please get up. What you get is just what you deserve! You don't have to be like this." Zhang Tao helped Chen Mi up, but there was a look of relief in his eyes. He was indeed a man who repaid his kindness and he did not miss it.
.
"Congratulations, Mr. Chen!" The guards below expressed their congratulations.
Chen Mi also wiped away his tears at this time and greeted him with a smile and clasped his fists. "As long as you show your abilities and work hard, I, Zhang Tao, will not treat you badly! I will surely make everyone prosperous!" Zhang Tao said loudly.
"Thank you, Lord Commander!" At this moment! The East Palace has truly returned home, but Zhang Tao's heart is not happy. "Would you like to worship the Hall? After solving the problems here, I can finally do something for Weiran."
The Enshrinement Hall is a sacred place, and it is also a place where everyone looks up to. Even the people who stand guard for the Enshrinement Hall have a higher status than ordinary people. That kind of proud look, that kind of pride with their heads held high is definitely not fake.
, but the self-esteem that the place of worship hall gives them.
"I am Zhang Tao, the commander of the East Palace Imperial Guards. In self-defense, I am not allowed to kill the enshrined Wang Ke. Please come here to apologize." Zhang Tao said to the two imperial guards at the door.
