Volume Four, Three Southern Counties, Chapter 387, Above the Court
"If you dare to cause trouble, there are many people in Jingzhao Mansion who can kill you. Master Xu is one of them, and the new emperor is also one of them. Before I leave, I will ask them to pay more attention to you."
Lu Jiuzhang put away the knife and left from the window.
"Tap tap tap..."
At this time, a burst of rapid footsteps came.
The anxious little fat man Zhou Zheng pushed open the door and barged in.
Seeing Xu Yuanshan's mood was a little low, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"nothing!"
Xu Yuanshan smiled and said, "Your mother didn't say anything, did she?"
"Of course I didn't say anything!" Little Fatty Zhou Zheng patted his chest, "My mother also likes you very much. After I told you about your family, she was quite satisfied!"
Little fat Zhou Zheng didn't dare to tell the truth.
The old princess actually didn't like Xu Yuanshan.
She is just the daughter of a wealthy businessman and has no other background.
Such a status is naturally not worthy of the prince's palace.
But little fat Zhou Zheng is worried!
In the end, even the old princess couldn't tell whether he was going to Jiangshuijuan to resist the demon clan, or whether he liked Xu Yuanshan.
In the end, the little fat man Zhou Zheng made the old princess impatient.
Finally he agreed.
After all, if you go to Jiangshui County to resist the demon clan, you may not necessarily die.
Especially since there is a smart person like Lu Jiuzhang around, it should be fine.
"Take it off, what are you waiting for?" Little Fatty Zhou Zheng urged.
"Ah? So fast?"
Xu Yuanshan didn't react.
"What if?"
The little fat boy Zhou Zheng took off his coat first...
…
It was around four or five in the morning when Lu Jiuzhang got up.
First take a quick shower and change clothes, then eat.
At the gate, people from the palace were already waiting.
Lu Jiuzhang was new here and didn't know the way.
He was led by the people in the palace and walked towards the palace.
Behind Lu Jiuzhang were Peng Qiang, Bai Xiaosu, and ten warrior representatives from the trial field.
Heizi and the second uncle Luo Fusheng did not follow.
Heizi is a monster and it is inappropriate to go to the palace.
Luo Fusheng had never participated in a heavenly battle, and his cultivation level was very high. A warrior with a second-level martial arts cultivation level, he was locked by several auras when he first entered Jingzhao Mansion.
The threat of such a powerful warrior entering Jingzhao Mansion is too great.
It is really not easy for him to enter the imperial city.
If you want to enter the palace, it will be even more difficult.
Before entering the palace gate, all the storage rings of Lu Jiuzhang and others were taken off, as were the weapons they wore.
Then, walk through the long corridor and pass through the doors one after another.
At about seven o'clock in the morning, everyone finally arrived at the Jinluan Hall.
This is the place where you go to the morning court.
According to Lu Jiuzhang's rank, he was not able to attend the morning court and could only wait in the side hall.
Sitting in the side hall, Lu Jiuzhang could clearly hear the voices of the ministers discussing matters.
This seems to be what the new emperor intended for Lu Jiuzhang to hear.
It's just that there is turmoil in various places, and the new emperor has to deal with it, which not only consumes manpower, but also consumes a lot of money in the treasury.
The quarrels among the officials were quite interesting, and it was almost the same as the quarrels between the women in the market.
He even curses!
Even the ten warrior representatives sitting opposite Lu Jiuzhang were a little embarrassed, "Master Lu, forget it, I feel that it will not be easy for the new emperor."
The Zhou Dynasty was too big and there were too many things to consider.
It is almost impossible to keep a bowl of water flat.
"We're all here, how can we go back?"
Lu Jiuzhang smiled and adjusted his clothes, "Get ready, it's our turn!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice rang out in the court hall, "It has been announced that Demon Slayer Guard Lu Jiuzhang, the General Secretary of the Demon Slayer Division, and others are here to pay an audience!"
At the door of the side hall, a eunuch followed and shouted, "It is said that the Demon Slaying Department Chief, Demon Slaying Guard Lu Jiuzhang and others are here to see you!"
"..."
Lu Jiuzhang led everyone towards the main hall.
In the court hall, hundreds of officials stood side by side.
In fact, the "hundred officials" is an empty sign. There are at least hundreds of courtiers in the Jinluan Palace.
On the left are civil servants and on the right are military officers.
Lu Jiuzhang walked at the front.
"Meet the new emperor!"
Walking into the middle of the Jinluan Hall, Lu Jiuzhang cupped his hands and said.
Seeing that Lu Jiuzhang only bowed and did not kneel down.
These courtiers wanted to reprimand, but they remembered that on the New Year's Eve last year, when they were in Beilu County, Lu Jiuzhang still looked like this.
So, no one said anything.
On the contrary, the ten warriors behind Lu Jiuzhang knelt down, as well as Peng Qiang.
Bai Xiaosu also followed Lu Jiuzhang's example and bowed with his hands.
"Get flat."
The new emperor is a bit big-headed, but Lu Jiuzhang is still as arrogant as ever.
He once said that he would only kneel down when the new emperor convinced him.
"With one move from Heavenly War, we have boosted the power of the Zhou Dynasty and dampened the spirit of the demon clan." The new emperor looked at Lu Jiuzhang approvingly, "Lu Demon Slayer Guard has done a great job. Today, Lu Demon Slayer Guard is promoted to the Demon Slayer General Division to slay demons."
make."
"In addition, Lu Zhan Demon Guard will be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households, with a city of five thousand days, and a reward of ten million taels of gold."
"There are too many other rewards, so I won't repay them one by one."
"In addition, Prince Gong Zhou Zheng accompanied Lu Jiuzhang, and he also received a reward. Since he is coming today, the reward will be sent to his mansion."
"Peng Qiang, the Demon Slayer Division, was promoted to the Chief Demon Slayer Guard and was rewarded..."
"Bai Xiaosu, reward..."
The new emperor granted rewards to everyone.
There are really a lot of things given as rewards.
Lu Jiuzhang felt that he had instantly transformed from a poor beggar to a tall and wealthy man.
"As for the warriors in the trial field, it is really my fault." The new emperor looked at the ten warriors, "I am going to use training resources worth one billion taels of silver to reward all warriors."
"The current situation of the Zhou Dynasty is not good, and the national treasury is losing money. If the civil strife is quelled, I will give you another reward."
"Lu Zhan Demon Guard, are you satisfied with this answer?"
The new emperor looked at Lu Jiuzhang again.
"Your Majesty can do whatever you think is appropriate. Lu Jiuzhang has no objection."
Lu Jiuzhang said slowly.
This is another answer. Whether these people have calmed down or not, the new emperor doesn't know.
"Then let's arrange it like this for now!"
The new emperor said, "Everything is based on the premise of quelling civil strife."
"As for Demon Envoy Lu Zhan, what are your next plans?" the new emperor asked.
"After staying in Jingzhao Mansion for another day or two, I plan to go to Jiangshui County to fight against the monsters." Lu Jiuzhang said.
"Then I'll give Demon Envoy Lu Zhan the position of Ping Yao General, and he can build a camp of more than 50,000 people. I don't have these troops here, so Demon Envoy Lu can build them himself."
"A number of military supplies will be provided by the Zhou Dynasty."
"I will first give you 10 million taels of gold. Demon Envoy Lu Zhan will be able to participate in the formation after the court ends today."
The problem was thrown to Lu Jiuzhang.
Let him organize his own warriors to defend against monsters in Jiangshui County.
This is the best deal!
Even Lu Jiuzhang felt that the new emperor had many plans.
Heading to Jiangshui County, Lu Jiuzhang planned to fight off the monsters alone, with only the people around him.
Now we have to organize tens of thousands of people ourselves and become the mainstay.
It’s a little difficult! This chapter has been completed!
