The new emperor's punishment was already giving Master Xu face.
After all, he was killing an official of the imperial court.
This kind of guilt is already huge.
If Lu Jiuzhang had not relied on Master Xu, he would have died ten or eight times.
Unexpectedly, Master Xu would dare to ask for a reward after being punished by the new emperor?
"Here, official Lu Jiuzhang of the Demon Slaying Department of Anxi Prefecture is reinstated and continues to serve as the deputy director of the Demon Slaying Department of Anxi Prefecture." The new emperor said, "In addition, a pair of white jade Ruyi from Han Prefecture will be rewarded."
The white jade from Hanfu County is the best jade in the world. It is of unparalleled value and can only be used by the royal family.
Represents imperial power!
But to be rewarded by the Holy Spirit, its meaning far exceeds its value.
It means that this person has caught the eyes of the new emperor and has a bright future!
"Is there anything else?" the new emperor asked.
No one spoke in the audience.
"Retreat!"
The new emperor gave a loud shout and left the court first.
The remaining ministers filed out.
The familiar ministers would chat together and then walk to the place where the carriage was stored.
"Master Xu, you were a little anxious just now."
Master Wei, the imperial censor in the palace, came over and said.
The imperial censor in the palace is a third-grade official, a position under the Overwatch Council, and can be regarded as belonging to Master Xu's faction.
In charge of the imperial guards and the capital's pickets.
"No problem!"
Master Xu waved his hand. How could he not know the danger?
It is estimated that the new emperor already knew about Lu Jiuzhang's execution of the county magistrate.
And the gentleman who impeached him has been in officialdom for decades, how could he not understand that there are certain things that can be said and things that cannot be said?
Why did he bring it up now? It must be the intention of the new emperor.
The new emperor was taking the opportunity to warn these ministers.
To put down such a big matter gently shows that the new emperor now trusts Master Xu.
Even if those ministers wanted to impeach Master Xu, they had to think carefully before doing so.
After this incident, no one in the court should dare to target Master Xu for the time being.
New Emperor, New Emperor!
Master Xu looked in the direction of the palace.
He taught the new emperor knowledge, but he never taught him the art of controlling others.
The new emperor's tactics are already a bit sophisticated.
…
At the end of the morning, a letter of imperial edict was spread to various places.
Changshui County, Lu Jiuzhang has been staying here for several days.
When he was about to return to Anxi Mansion to take up his post, suddenly there was a knock on the door.
I saw a eunuch in brocade clothes standing in front of the door, with dozens of armored guards accompanying him behind him.
Those guards have strong auras and should be martial arts masters.
How come such a big shot appears here?
"Anxi Prefecture's Demon Slayer Division Lu Jiuzhang accepted the order."
The eunuch's voice was very long, thin, and somewhat sharp.
Lu Jiuzhang couldn't help but think of Yuan Wufeng, as he seemed to talk like this every day.
"Wei Chen Lu Jiuzhang accepted the order."
Lu Jiuzhang knelt down quickly.
In the courtyard, the big black dog was so nervous that he crawled on the ground.
Bai Xiaosu didn't know what to do and was a little flustered, so he could only follow the instructions.
"By God's will, the emperor issued an edict that Lu Jiuzhang, the Demon Slayer Secretary, killed an imperial official without permission, committing a heinous crime. However, the Changshui County Magistrate was responsible for the trouble, and Lu Jiuzhang was considered as doing harm to the people, so he will not be prosecuted. However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the life crime cannot be avoided.
, removed Lu Jiuzhang from the post of deputy director of the Demon Slaying Department of Anxi Prefecture, and demoted him to the rank of Demon Slayer Envoy."
The eunuch said loudly.
Was his official position demoted?
That doesn't matter, anyway, it is a great joy to have Wang County Cheng killed.
"The humble minister accepts the order."
Lu Jiuzhang bowed and accepted the imperial edict.
For such a serious crime and such a light punishment, Master Xu should be helping him behind the scenes. Lu Jiuzhang couldn't help but feel grateful.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, there is still an imperial edict."
The eunuch continued.
"By God's blessing, the emperor decreed that Lu Jiuzhang, the demon-slaying envoy of the Anxi Prefecture's Demon-Slaying Department, has outstanding literary talent and excellent sentences. I am very pleased. Lu Jiuzhang was promoted to the deputy director of the Anxi Prefecture's Demon-Slaying Department, and he was also given a white jade from the Han Prefecture. A happy couple."
"Master Lu, please accept the order."
said the eunuch.
this……
Did you promote yourself back again?
Lu Jiuzhang was confused.
Get up and take the order.
"Master Lu, you have fallen into the eyes of the new emperor, and your rise to greatness must not be far away. I hope that Master Lu can fulfill his duties and not disappoint His Majesty," the eunuch warned.
"Thank you, father-in-law, for teaching me."
Lu Jiuzhang bowed his hands and thanked him.
Even though this man was just a eunuch, he was someone close to the new emperor.
Sometimes, they have a lot of say.
Lu Jiuzhang wanted to give this eunuch some money, but the eunuch in front of him might not appreciate the little money he had.
After thinking about it, Lu Jiuzhang opened the storage ring and took out two [Pole Star Grass] plants.
This [Pole Star Grass] was the compensation given by the other party when I was kicked out of [Yingtian Restaurant] that day, and it is worth a lot of money.
However, Lu Jiuzhang has never used it. This thing is for the cultivation of strong people in the fifth or even fourth level of martial arts.
"I hope my father-in-law will accept it."
Lu Jiuzhang handed over [Pole Star Grass].
"Master Lu, please waive these etiquettes. Our family is conveying His Majesty's will and accepting gifts without permission, but Your Majesty will blame you." The eunuch declined.
"It's just some local specialties, not precious items." Lu Jiuzhang said, "When my father-in-law came to Changshui County, I didn't treat him well. I should apologize."
"If you apologize, you will be forgiven. Mr. Lu is too polite, but souvenirs should not be considered bribes."
The father-in-law silently accepted the [Pole Star Grass].
"Let's set off and return to Jingzhao Mansion!"
The eunuch gave the order and a group of people started to go back.
After the eunuch had gone far away, Lu Jiuzhang straightened up.
"Master Jiu, what are you giving this eunuch [Pole Star Grass] for? Isn't this a waste?" The big black dog was dissatisfied.
"Since I gave it, there is a use for it."
Lu Jiuzhang said, "Let's set off. Call Wang Yunshan and Zhou Cheng together. They should be ready."
After that, everyone walked out of the house.
Lu Jiuzhang locked the house.
It's been years since I left, and I don't know when I will come back again.
Maybe I won't be able to come back for the rest of my life.
Lu Jiuzhang was deeply touched and couldn't help but said loudly, "After all these years, the good times and good scenery should be just a waste of time. Even if there are thousands of customs, who should I tell you?"
"Master Jiu, your hand is so wet! It's too wet!"
The big black dog flattered me.
Lu Jiuzhang glared at the big black dog. This dog really couldn't speak.
Afterwards, Lu Jiuzhang glanced at Zhao Chaner's house from a distance.
When he came back this time, Zhao Chan'er didn't see him.
There may be many factors.
However, Lu Jiuzhang had already greeted the Demon Slayer Division and asked them to take care of Zhao Chan'er.
I am the immediate superior of the Demon Slayer Department in Changshui County, so I guess they will not go against the rules.
After saying that, Lu Jiuzhang got on the carriage and drove towards the city gate.
After Lu Jiuzhang had gone far, Zhao Chaner hurriedly ran out of the room, looked at the direction in which Lu Jiuzhang was going, and shed two lines of tears.
After so many years, when will we see you again?
Maybe this time we say goodbye, it may be a lifetime!
But people, they always have to move forward.
Some people are destined to only accompany you for one journey, and it is only one journey.
The mountains are high and the roads are far away, but I hope you take it seriously! This chapter has been completed!
