Zhao Yan didn't want to spread the news about his amnesia. After hearing Lu Chaoyong's explanation, although he felt angry, he had no choice but to sit back and wait for the distinguished guest to arrive.
"Brothers, we are all subordinates and it is inconvenient to stay here for a long time. Please come with me to dine downstairs."
While talking and laughing, another plate of yellow and white food was handed over to Qinglong and others for acceptance.
"This, this is not good."
Several people smiled and accepted it without even a nod from Zhao Yan.
If Zhao Yan really complied with what he said, who would dislike money pricking his hand?
After sending Qinglong and other guards away, Lu Chaoyong came back.
"Why hasn't your distinguished guest arrived yet?"
Zhao Yan frowned.
"Your Majesty, I have fulfilled my mission and hereby return my message to Your Majesty."
While Lu Chaoyong was speaking, he made three kowtows and nine bows to Zhao Yan, and presented it respectfully with a scroll in both hands.
Zhao Yan felt a chill coming from his forehead at that time. What was going on?
"Lu Chaoyong?"
Zhao Yan asked in a stern tone.
"Your Majesty, there is no one here, so there is no need to be restrained."
Lu Chaoyong looked back and explained carefully.
"I want to ask you what do you mean?"
Zhao Yan also had palpitations in his heart. Suzaku was a shadow guard. Who knew where she was hiding and observing secretly.
If Jiang Lingyue believed it, it would be possible to kill him with a knife.
"His Majesty……"
"Don't use this word."
Zhao Yan quickly corrected him, he was sure that Suzaku had murderous intentions.
"It's Your Majesty."
Lu Chaoyong never strayed from His Majesty's lips, and always spoke to Zhao Yan with the courtesy of a monarch and a minister.
This made Zhao Yan feel uncomfortable all over, and he could neither leave nor stay.
"Tell me, why did Yu Gu come here? Where is that distinguished guest?"
Zhao Yan asked impatiently, he was ready to run away from the place of right and wrong.
"Your Majesty, you are now riding a tiger and we have no way out."
Lu Chaoyong opened the scroll as he spoke.
As the scroll slowly unfolded, a clear vein gradually came into Zhao Yan's eyes.
"What is this?"
Although Zhao Yan already understood most of it, he still pretended to be stupid and refused to admit that this was what he meant.
"Your Majesty, these are the bureaucrats from all over the country who are loyal to you, and they are all waiting for rewards."
Emotions are going to be in vain.
"Explain it clearly to me."
Zhao Yan did not dare to expose the fact of amnesia, so he had to pretend to know about it, but he needed Lu Chaoyong to describe it in detail.
"Your Majesty, you are of the royal family of the former dynasty, and your servant is also the queen of the generals. Zhao Tianming is not His Majesty's biological father. You all know this. You cannot be greedy for a beautiful body and forget the hatred of the subjugation of the country and the annihilation of the clan."
Need I say it clearly? Lu Chaoyong's expression of hating iron is enough to make people believe that these are true.
From the beginning to the end, Zhao Yan had an sworn hatred for this dynasty. Why did he change his original intention within a few days of entering the palace and was not even willing to admit his true identity?
It must be that witch Jiang Lingyue who seduced Zhao Yan's sacred heart.
Could it be that Lu Chaoyong made up all of this on his own, and that’s why he said the above?
Zhao Yan was confused in his heart. Although he had lost all the memories of the original owner after traveling through time, it did not mean that he did not understand this dynasty at all.
More or less, we can learn something about this dynasty from Jiang Lingyue's mouth.
Especially some insider information about the royal family.
This dynasty's Guozuo Shao Shao has a history of hundreds of years. Is it possible that Zhao Yan really lived to be a thousand-year-old monster?
"Lu Chaoyong, do you have the talent to lead an army to restore the country?"
Zhao Yan squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the member Lu in front of him.
After the generals, are they all fat and full of straw? Look at their posture, not to mention riding horses to fight in all directions, but even walking is difficult, right?
Is there a scam?
Seeing Lu Chaoyong's selective silence, Zhao Yan continued to ask.
"In that case, I would like to ask you, how did Zhaixing Tower become Gu's industry?"
For a place like Zhaixing Tower, the standards for entertaining distinguished guests are surprisingly high, and the owner behind it has always been mysterious. There are rumors on the streets that its actual owner is the Empress.
Otherwise, it is impossible that those princes and nobles would not even be qualified to reach the top.
"Your Majesty, this villain bought it with a lot of money. This is the land deed."
What Lu Chaoyong said was clear-cut, but Zhao Yan concluded based on this alone that this person was full of nonsense.
"Then you called Gu Lai just because of this title deed?"
Zhao Yan glanced at it, he had never been interested in things that were fraudulent.
"No, your Majesty, these people are all loyal and loyal pillars of our dynasty. I would also like to ask your Majesty to place your seal on them and promise them high-ranking officials and generous salaries, just waiting for the great things to happen."
Lu Chaoyong once again presented the roster to Zhao Yan, but his eyes were as sinister and cunning as a black eagle, secretly observing Zhao Yan's reaction.
"Lu Chaoyong, are you the one who contacted these people?"
Zhao Yan frowned, thinking that there was a big game of chess being played, and almost all the courtiers who were loyal to the empress were registered in the imperial court.
Although Zhao Yan was not very familiar with some of them, he had heard Jiang Lingyue analyze the local situation.
And those officials with military power and real power are almost all written on it.
To put it bluntly, even if they were all dissatisfied with this dynasty, Zhao Yan would not have the nerve to win the support of these people.
"These are the talents that the ministers have worked hard to win over. As long as your Majesty promises high officials and generous salaries, they will follow your Majesty's lead and enter the palace to be honored with great treasures."
Paralyzed, you really know how to talk nonsense.
Zhao Yan already had a premonition that there must be something important in this, but he was not sure who instructed Lu Chaoyong to act so boldly.
"It's done, it's done, go ahead and do it."
Since you can't avoid it, you can use the trick to see how Lu Chaoyong reacts.
"Here, Your Majesty, you haven't put on the treasure seal of the previous dynasty yet."
Lu Chaoyong looked troubled, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"You also know that Gu is a remnant of the previous dynasty. Where did he get the treasure seal?"
Zhao Yan asked rhetorically.
"Your Majesty, hasn't that old guy Zhao Tianming been found a long time ago? I'm just now anxious. I've been captured for something that didn't work out. I've heard about it a long time ago. The treasure seal is in your Majesty's hand. If you miss this good opportunity, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to do it again.
It’s getting more difficult.”
Lu Chaoyong said anxiously.
Wocao, there is still this detail?
Why did cheap dad Zhao Tianming not mention this? It’s all because he couldn’t think of anything.
"You're really pedantic. Since it's all your fault, why don't you just grab a big carrot and cover it up casually?"
Zhao Yan joked.
"Your Majesty, raising an army to rebel is child's play, it's too outrageous."
Lu Chaoyong spread his hands and said that this was not the case.
What does he want?
If it was as simple as putting on the treasure seal, Lu Chaoyong could handle it with any deception, but why did Zhao Yan have to do it himself?
Moreover, he recalled that Jiang Lingyue had told him that Zhao Tianming's rebellion case was very strange, and the reporter still didn't know who was responsible.
No, they want to cause internal strife within the empire.
Because the people on the roster can be said to belong to different camps, and many people even have partisanship, how can they be unified?
This was Lu Chaoyong's biggest mistake.
"If you do what you do, your head will fall to the ground."
