Prime Minister Zuo looked at the file in front of him and was furious!
"Trash, it's all trash!"
Sweep the file off the table and onto the ground.
"This man named Xu in Anxi Prefecture is just a petty official. He is a prefect. Do you really think he has caught my eye? He actually dares to mention becoming a county governor."
"Who does he think he is?"
Normally in the outside world, Prime Minister Zuo always has the city in mind and rarely gets angry.
Only in your own study can you vent like this.
"And about Lu Jiuzhang, why did no one report before that he moved to the right to be the director of the Demon Slaying Department of the North Road County City?"
Prime Minister Zuo said angrily.
Let Governor Xu sharpen Lu Jiuzhang, this is the new emperor's intention.
It can be seen that the new emperor is very interested in Lu Jiuzhang.
But now that Lu Jiuzhang has moved to the right to become the director of the demon-slaying department in the county, Xu Taishou is still in Anxi Mansion. How can Taishou Xu be made a grindstone and a stumbling block for Lu Jiuzhang?
This is a matter that the new emperor has personally entrusted to him. If he can't handle it well, how can he explain it to the new emperor?
Prime Minister Zuo was a little angry.
To stumble Lu Jiuzhang, don't look for someone too powerful.
At this time, Lu Jiuzhang was still a little immature. If those people from the old city were dealing with Lu Jiuzhang, it would be difficult for Lu Jiuzhang to gain an advantage in this situation.
But Governor Xu, whose skills are relatively shallow, is the most suitable person.
It seems that Prefect Xu has to be promoted to the post of county governor.
Of course, this seat cannot really be given to him, it still has to be vacant.
Let him first have some powers of a county guard.
"Come on, grind!"
Prime Minister Zuo was going to write a memorial and report it to the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty first.
…
Imperial City.
Royal study room.
Although it was late at night, there were many people in the Imperial Study Room.
Most of these people are elderly.
If you look carefully, who else could it be if it weren't for the old ancestors that the new emperor saw in the royal ancestral line that day?
The great scholar Xu Shi is here tonight.
With so many people present, Master Xu had no place to sit and could only stand beside the new emperor.
Everyone was anxious and a little irritable.
The ancestor of the Xu family came back from the black mist, seriously injured and with a broken arm.
He met an extremely powerful person in the black mist.
The strong man wounded the ancestor of the Xu family with just a few moves.
Then, the ancestor of the Xu family used a secret technique and cut off his arm before escaping from the black mist.
When it comes to the situation in the black mist, the ancestor of the Xu family doesn't know much about it. He just said that there is great terror inside.
To be able to make an ancestor of the first level of martial arts so fearful, the powerful men of the royal family are still afraid of the black mist.
"Everyone, the situation in the black mist is still not clear yet." The new emperor slowly stood up and put his hands on the table, "We must give a solution today."
"If the black fog does not dissipate, our Zhou Dynasty will never be stable."
"The latest news is that black fog has appeared in two counties."
Everyone already knows about this.
The Great Elder said slowly, "Continue to send people to investigate. Since one first-level martial arts is not enough, then two first-level martial arts or even three first-level martial arts will go."
"People from the royal family cannot go. Once a strong member of the royal family is seriously injured, those aristocratic families may unite to attack the royal family."
"We can't just let the powerful men from those aristocratic families go to investigate. Something happened to the ancestors of the Xu family, and they may also know some clues. Forcing these people to go will probably be counterproductive."
"I propose that two strong men from the royal family and two strong men from those aristocratic families go to the black mist together."
As soon as these words came out, everything in the royal study became quiet, and everyone looked at each other in shock.
The royal family sent two, and these aristocratic families sent two, which was considered a compromise idea.
But among the elders of the royal family, who would be more appropriate to send?
There are ten people in the elder group, eight first-level martial arts masters and two second-level martial arts masters.
The two elders who were at the second level of peak martial arts were obviously not suitable. It would be a bit difficult to choose two from the remaining eight people.
I'm afraid no one would want to do this kind of hard work and danger.
"You are all enjoying the royal family's salary and using the royal family's vast resources. Are you unwilling to step forward when the matter comes to a close?"
Master Xu stood up.
There are some things that the new emperor cannot say and can only be said by his teacher.
At this point, we can only force these people.
"It's not that we don't want to, it's just a discussion. Xu family boy, there is no need to provoke us, we will do things carefully." The elder glared at Master Xu.
Their attitude towards Master Xu was pretty good.
Not because he was the teacher of the new emperor, but because he was a great Confucian and was the role model for all scholars in the Zhou Dynasty.
"We can reach the status we have today only if we didn't come through a bloody storm. How can a mere black mist stop us?"
The great elder shouted, "Third elder, you will go on my behalf this time."
"I...fuck you, Great Elder, why me?"
The third elder was puzzled.
Seeing what the First Elder said so righteously and sternly, the Third Elder thought that the First Elder was going to go there in person, but he didn't expect that the First Elder would actually blame him.
This is a bit deceptive.
"I am the strongest in cultivation, and I have to guard the royal family. You are not weak, so you are suitable to go." The great elder said, "Send the sixth elder to go."
The quota was decided in a hurry.
The third elder and the sixth elder had no chance to refute.
As soon as the great elder said this, he undoubtedly chose to be a target.
Even if the Third Elder and Sixth Elder want to hold grudges, they will only hold grudges against the Great Elder.
If the others are fine and the three of them fight, they will naturally agree.
"As for the candidates for the ancestors of the aristocratic families, we will gather all the ancestors of the aristocratic families in the imperial city tomorrow, and we will finalize the candidates during the gathering." The great elder said, "Tomorrow night at the latest, they will go to the three southern counties together.
, first investigate the black fog situation in the three southern counties."
"Second Elder, please bring some people to support the outside world."
"Once anything happens, don't be impulsive and wait for the opportunity."
…
Anxi Prefecture.
After Lu Jiuzhang came back, he had stayed for nearly a day.
After being out for so long, Zhou Cheng has successfully entered the eighth level of martial arts.
Lu Jiuzhang promoted him to deputy director of the Demon Slaying Department of Anxi Prefecture.
There are not many masters in Anxi Prefecture's Demon Slaying Department now.
Zhou Cheng's cultivation is considered top among them.
Especially with Lu Jiuzhang standing behind Zhou Cheng, no one dared to openly oppose Zhou Cheng.
When Zhou Cheng stabilizes his eighth-level martial arts cultivation, the position of director of the Demon Slaying Department of Anxi Prefecture will probably be left to Zhou Cheng.
This is Lu Jiuzhang's team and will not be given up to others easily.
After handling these matters, Lu Jiuzhang planned to leave with Big Black Dog, Bai Xiaosu and Chen Xuanfeng.
Two or three months ago, Lu Jiuzhang stepped into Anxi Mansion.
Unexpectedly, it was time to say goodbye again.
It was already entering late autumn.
Taking advantage of the darkness, the carriage walked along the mountain road.
"Master Jiu, it seems I can't bear it any longer and am about to break through..." the big black dog said suddenly.
