At this moment, the only person whose heart was colder than him was probably King Qi. Over the years, in order to fight against the emperor, he had worked hard to create a reputation as a virtuous king. He was always walking on thin ice. Coupled with the support of the late emperor's confidants, he was able to reluctantly win the title of King of Qi.
In terms of power and reputation, he rivaled the emperor.
However, the past two years have been unlucky. Senior officials on his side have had troubles one after another. Seeing that his power has been weakened step by step, he has become a little anxious, so he began to fight back fiercely.
I originally thought I had a chance to win back a victory, but what happened now?
The emperor of the monster clan calls his nephew Sui Gong. What a great achievement. I don’t know how many emperors have failed to achieve all of this with their amazing talents, but Zhao Hao actually achieved it?
If he succeeds in conferring Zen status and announces it to the world, his prestige will no longer be matched by anyone. I have worked so hard to fight with him all my life, but in the end it will be just a joke.
And all this was caused by Zu An!
Thinking of this, he was so angry that he owed him something in his previous life. The decline of his subordinates' power was also due to him coming to Beijing. If he had known this, he should have killed this ant in the first place!
The anger value from Zhao Jing is +444+444+444...
At this time, he couldn't hold it in any longer, and without even bothering to signal his subordinates, he said directly: "Why didn't the demon clan send a mission to such an important matter, but asked you, a human, to hand it over?"
At this time, the noisy court instantly calmed down. Not only the King of Qi, but also the people in the East Palace, the emperor's side were a little confused. This was really not in line with common sense.
Zu An said slowly: "This is all a coincidence. I witnessed the death of the old demon emperor in the secret realm, and then I was entrusted by him to deliver a message to all parties in the royal court. As soon as I came out of the secret realm, I found that the Golden Crow Prince began to use the army to clean up and kill other people.
Brother, who would have thought that the second prince had been planning for a long time, and ended up killing him... Then I did some trivial things to help the little prince ascend the throne, and I wanted to return to the human race, so they entrusted me to deliver it.
Credentials, as long as His Majesty agrees, a formal mission will be sent there soon to implement the specific details."
Although he spoke in an understatement, everyone in the palace was in turmoil. One could imagine how bloody and cruel it was for the royal family to seize the throne, but it was unimaginable that this guy Zu An could actually participate in it and help the young prince get the throne.
Many people looked at Zu An secretly. He didn't have any energy fluctuations in his body now. Can he really do such a thing?
Or was it because he was seriously injured in that coup that caused him to lose all his powers?
The key facts were before their eyes, and the new Demon Emperor's credentials were sent over, so they couldn't help but not believe it.
Even King Qi has nothing to say now, his face is as gloomy as water, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.
At this time, Zhongshu Lang Pei Lian said: "Master Zu, as a human being, goes to help the demon emperor. I'm afraid it's inappropriate."
He is the son of Pei Zheng, the servant, and he is also from the lineage of King Qi. He has always had a bright mind and can keenly find an angle of attack.
With his start, other officials in King Qi's line responded one after another, linking the previous charges of colluding with the demon clan.
Zu An looked at everyone calmly: "Without my participation, the new emperor of the demon clan would either be the extremely talented Prince Jinwu, who is the leader of the five unique younger generations of the demon clan, or the second prince, a peerless and famous general who is extremely shrewd and powerful in the city. Dare to
Let me ask you, is it more beneficial to us humans if they become the Demon King, or is it more beneficial to us if a child becomes the Demon King?"
Everyone was at a loss for words. Naturally, everyone could tell which one would be more advantageous. Others would never call the human emperor his nephew, but now it is so natural for the little prince to do this. Even the elders of the demon clan would not object.
At this time, Zhao Hao spoke: "Okay, the Demon Emperor calls us his nephew and pays tribute. This is a great event that is celebrated by the whole world. The order is passed down and a three-day amnesty will be granted nationwide!"
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
After the ministers congratulated and flattered them, the officials from the East Palace group took advantage of the situation and said: "Master Zu has made such a great contribution and deserves a reward, so as to inspire the world to contribute to the imperial court..."
Zhao Hao nodded, feeling happy now, and even looked at Zu An more favorably: "My dear friends, what kind of reward do you think is appropriate?"
The ministers looked at each other, this was really difficult to answer.
If the human army originally entered the country and the demon clan had to submit, this would be the merit of an ordinary diplomatic envoy, and an internal commendation from Honglu Temple would be enough.
But now the demon clan still has strength, especially when the armies of both sides are still fighting to the death. The entire human race has never thought that the demon clan will surrender. As a result, Zu An brought back such results with his own strength, saying
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a great achievement.
At this time, an official flattered the East Palace and said directly: "Such unparalleled achievements have never been seen since ancient times. Considering that Mr. Zu is now an earl, with such achievements, he is enough to be directly crowned the King of the Opposite Sex."
"Become a king?" Upon hearing this suggestion, the emperor's eyelids trembled unconsciously.
The King of Qi also has a cold face. How can this mud-legged man be on par with me?
At this time, many human spirits in the court immediately reacted and refuted: "Although Master Zu's contribution is not small, it is too exaggerated to make him a king. In the final analysis, the reason why the demon clan is willing to call himself nephew and pay tribute is because of the emperor's reputation.
Outside, they are extremely afraid to do this, but in the final analysis, most of the credit for this achievement is due to the Emperor."
With a start, others immediately boasted about Zhao Hao's wisdom and prowess in various ways, and even the King of Qi had to follow him against his will.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Hao Longyan was delighted: "You guys are serious, Zu An's role in this cannot be ignored."
The court was full of human beings, and they immediately realized from his serious tone that the road to becoming king had been rejected, so they began to discuss what kind of reward would be appropriate for him.
Looking at the faces of all the people in the court, Zu An felt no disturbance in his heart. He thought to himself, if these people knew that I was named regent in the Demon Clan, I wonder how they would react?
At this time, another official suggested: "How about giving me the title of Duke?"
At first, everyone thought it was a bit outrageous, but after thinking about it carefully, Zu An had made a lot of contributions before and was already an earl. If he only increased the first-level reward, it would be too shabby and it would only be in the face of the royal family.
But Zu An was too young. In just two or three years, he went from a commoner to an earl, and now he is even more likely to be granted a title.
There are so many high-ranking officials in the court, including only a few dukes, and each one is a very respected official. Now that a young man is among them, it always feels weird.
Even Bi Zi'ang was filled with jealousy. He considered himself to be outstandingly talented and one of the best among the younger generation of the major families in the capital. He had always regarded Zu An as a dog, his sister, and he was also a slave of the Bi family.
As a result, the other party directly became a duke, and his title was equal to that of his father. However, he, as a master, was far inferior. He, who was always proud and arrogant, could not stand it.
Bi Linglong's eyes were shining. Unlike her brother, she hoped that Zu An's status would be as high as possible.
All parties in the court discussed and discussed, and finally gradually reached an agreement to assign Zu the lowest rank among the dukes. The dukes were divided into three levels, from high to low, they were the Duke of the country, the Duke of the county, and the Duke of the county.
Previously, Jian Taiding was the Duke of Yunzhong County and regarded the county as a fiefdom.
The county prince takes a city as his fiefdom, and Mingyue Gong of Chu Zhongtian was in this category.
And Zuan has no foundation. It is obviously impossible to be assigned to a big city like Mingyue City as a fiefdom. Whether it is the Qi King's line or the emperor's line, they have reached a consensus that Zu'an has been promoted too fast and needs to be properly suppressed.
So everyone discussed what remote and poor small town should be sealed to him.
At this moment, Yi Chun suddenly stood up with a look of grief and indignation: "This man plotted to kill my son and brutally killed a government officer. Is this the end of it?"
The anger value from Ijun is +996+996+996...
The court suddenly became quiet, and everyone had stern expressions on their faces, as if they had almost forgotten about this matter.
Then everyone started arguing about how to handle this matter. King Qi found an opportunity to use this matter to convict Zu An.
Many people in the emperor's line were also jealous of Zu An's rapid promotion, and not many people spoke for him.
Although the East Palace lineage had received the instruction from the Crown Princess, it was somewhat weak and was denounced by the Qi King's party and retreated steadily.
The emperor frowned. He naturally knew what King Qi was thinking and didn't want him to mess up this amazing achievement. If so, what would be the dignity of being granted Zen status?
So he opened his mouth and closed the coffin directly: "I will send an embroidered messenger to investigate the Sang family matter, but no matter what, it is indeed wrong for Zu An to kill him. Considering that he has made great contributions to the human race... Well, in this case, he should be rewarded."
The Duke's position was reduced to Marquis. There happened to be a vacancy in the land of Shen some time ago, so let's change it to the fiefdom of Zu'an and call it the Marquis of Shen."
Zu An was dumbfounded. Deep-throat?
What kind of evil have you done? It’s not normal to have your account banned.
