Volume 4 Three Southern Counties Chapter 431 Trespassing the Palace
"What does Emperor Chang'an think?" Lu Jiuzhang asked.
"Emperor Chang'an intended to refuse, but Prime Minister Zuo and many ministers in the court stood up and asked you to hand over 30,000 elite troops, and then hand them over to the control of Prime Minister Zuo's grandson."
Luo Yidao said.
This is equivalent to assigning Lu Jiuzhang's power to the left prime minister.
This old guy dances around all day long.
"Commander Lu, what do you think?" Luo Yidao asked.
"What do I think? Revise a letter and send it to the old immortal Zuo Xiang." Lu Jiuzhang said, "Tell him, at such an old age, if you don't want to think about where you will be buried after you die, why would you want to get it from someone else's hands?"
Gain benefits?"
"In this case, wouldn't it mean that he and Zuo Xiang had a falling out?" Luo Yidao thought.
"Didn't we just have a falling out? Could it be that after we take a step back, Prime Minister Zuo will spare us? He will only push further." Lu Jiuzhang said, "Add a sentence at the end, I hope Prime Minister Zuo will not offend us!"
Of course, this is just a scare statement.
This really made Lu Jiuzhang anxious. After Lu Jiuzhang finished handling the matters at hand, he might actually send his troops northward to kill the left prime minister!
You are a civil servant, no matter how powerful you are, you are still a civil servant.
He also wanted to get involved in the Iron-Blooded Camp, which was considered to have touched Lu Jiuzhang's reverse scale.
"Grind the ink for me, and I will write a letter right now."
Lu Jiuzhang said.
…
This letter was sent directly to the hands of the left minister of Jingzhao Mansion.
After learning the news, the left prime minister was furious.
A mere duke dared to threaten his own head.
"Whether it's unbearable or not, that fellow Lu Jiuzhang has gone too far." Zuo Xiang shouted, "I'm sending this letter to Your Majesty. What I want is an attitude. I didn't expect that fellow Lu Jiuzhang to humiliate me like this."
"I won't be willing to teach him a lesson."
Prime Minister Zuo looked in the direction of the palace, and he could clearly feel that Emperor Chang'an was avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally.
He is extremely resistant to what he is doing.
Prime Minister Zuo knew that Emperor Chang'an was dissatisfied with him, but he did not say it out loud.
Once this happens, there will be no trust between the monarch and his ministers.
Therefore, the left prime minister is also anxious and must obtain enough capital for himself before the relationship breaks down and have something to rely on.
Otherwise, those waiting for the left prime minister may be dead.
It was even a serious crime against the Nine Tribes.
In the palace.
Emperor Chang'an was overjoyed when he saw this letter.
Lu Jiuzhang angrily criticized the left prime minister in person, which made people feel really comfortable.
Back then, this guy even dared to fight against the empress Zhou Yao. How could he, a leftist prime minister, still want to take advantage of Lu Jiuzhang?
"I commend Lu Jiuzhang, but Qingjunzi is exempted." Chang'an Emperor Zhou Qian said, "Historically, most of those who used the name Qingjunzi were targeting the emperor."
Emperor Chang'an Zhou Qian did not dare to gamble.
"Understood, Your Majesty, I will send a message to Mr. Lu," the eunuch said.
"As for the rewards, reaching the position of Duke is already as high as the sky. The rewards of treasures and training resources have also been given to the Iron-Blooded Camp too much."
"Well, tell Lu Jiuzhang that if the Iron Blood Battalion can win a complete victory in the next battle, it can stabilize Zhou Zheng's throne and allow his family's throne to be passed on to the third generation!"
In the eyes of Emperor Chang'an, this reward was extraordinary.
Since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, only a few princes have received this honor.
Lu Jiuzhang cannot be rewarded, but the people around him can be rewarded.
"Isn't the man named Peng Qiang the son of Peng Kaiyuan, the deputy director of the Demon Slaying Department? Give him the status of an earl and a household of 2,000 households."
"You can bring out a few more earls and distribute the rewards."
Chang'an Emperor Zhou Qian's abacus was very loud.
Rewarding a few counts will not affect anything.
The titles of the Zhou Dynasty were Wang, Gong, Hou, Bo, Zi and Nan.
The count's status seems to be okay, but in fact it is of no use.
It has neither power nor takes up too many resources.
At the same time, in the palace.
A remote house.
The empress Zhou Yao was sitting in the pavilion holding a book, with a guzheng playing in front of her.
Playing the piano and reading, this is Zhou Yao's daily life.
The tea in the pot was gone. Zhou Yao looked into the distance and shouted softly, "Xiaochan, add more tea!"
The voice was sent out for a long time, but no one responded.
Zhou Yao looked into the distance and saw several men in black appearing in front.
The maids were all knocked unconscious.
"Trespassing to the palace? Interesting, whose troops are you?" Zhou Yao asked.
"Reporting to your Majesty, we are Camp Commander Lu's people."
The man in black said, "I have been ordered by Camp Commander Lu to take His Majesty out."
"What about Lu Jiuzhang? Did he send someone to take me out?"
Zhou Yao smiled, "You may have made a mistake. Lu Jiuzhang is now a member of Emperor Zhou Gan of Chang'an."
"You can't be wrong. Mr. Lu is in Cao Ying and his heart is with Han."
The man in black said, "We broke into the palace and used great strength. We hope that your majesty can follow us to Yiyun County. With you here, Mr. Lu can completely break with Emperor Chang'an."
"At that time, we can rise up, overthrow the rule of Chang'an Emperor Zhou Qian, and support you."
Hearing this, Zhou Yao smiled and said, "Lu Jiuzhang would not do this. Who do you belong to?"
"Your Majesty, we are really Lu..."
The man in black still wanted to speak, but his eyes suddenly opened wide.
Behind Zhou Yao, an old man suddenly appeared.
The old man's aura was very strong, and he locked onto these men in black almost instantly.
Doesn’t it mean that Empress Zhou Yao is incompetent?
Moreover, they were all ignored by Emperor Zhou Qian of Chang'an?
Why is there such a powerful warrior beside her?
The man in black was puzzled, and Empress Zhou Yao walked forward.
Every step stepped on the hearts of several people.
Taking off the mask of the man in black, Zhou Yao looked at a few people and said, "Aren't you going to tell me? I've noticed it since you entered the palace, and I've been giving you a hard time since then."
"Otherwise, do you think you can get here?"
"This palace is heavily guarded and there are many masters in the palace."
"Not to mention you, even a first-level martial arts expert would not dare to break into the palace without permission."
Empress Zhou Yao was extremely confident at this moment.
He did not appear depressed because he resigned from the throne.
It is obvious that even in this deep palace, Zhou Yao still has a lot of power.
Even though she was ousted from power by Emperor Zhou Qian of Chang'an, she could still control many things.
"If you don't tell me, I will use other means. Don't suffer these unreasonable disasters." Zhou Yao shouted.
The men in black took a deep breath and said slowly, "We are from Pei Yunzhang of Nanxiang County."
"Pei Yunzhang? Is he not dead yet?"
Zhou Yao was surprised, but then reacted, "That's right, how could such a powerful hero die so easily?"
The only thing to blame is that he was placed in Nanxiang County in the first place.
This kind of people are nothing more than dragons swimming in the shallows. Once they gain power, they will skyrocket to 90,000 miles!
