He doesn't care about dukes and marquises. After all, he is a person who has been in the royal capital, and the difference between dukes and marquises does not matter.
The human race has a lot of red tape, and there are strict rules and regulations for various promotions. Your family background will also be taken into consideration. It is absolutely unrealistic to be crowned a king. However, I originally thought that such a great achievement would have a duke, even if it is a relatively high level.
Low county magistrate.
Unexpectedly, he was later demoted to the rank of Marquis. Although it was apparently because of the killing of Yi Zhibing, as long as the emperor was willing, he could investigate the Sang family first. If Yi Zhibing was questioned about his behavior, he would be more than justified.
But the emperor punished him first without waiting for the results of the investigation. Maybe Yi Chun and others felt that the emperor was protecting him, but Zu An knew very well that this was just because the emperor did not want to make him a duke.
I had a drinking conversation with Sang Hong before about this emperor. Although he was considered a great talent, he was too suspicious and had a very cold nature.
This time it was clear that Zhao Hao wanted to take the credit for the tribute paid by the demon clan as his nephew. If he gave himself too high a reward, others would think that the credit was his, which he would never tolerate.
Just can you get a nicer title, Phoenix Man, Cuckold, Big Uncle Ji, and now there is another Shenhou, what kind of title will it be next time?
Seeing that his face turned dark, Zhao Hao thought he was dissatisfied with this, and couldn't help but feel a little proud. No matter how this little guy turned around, his future was still in my mind?
King Qi had a playful look on his face, and he naturally saw the emperor's secret suppression. Zu An must be dissatisfied, and was thinking about taking this opportunity to win over him and deal with the emperor together?
However, this idea was extinguished as soon as it arose. This kid is a disaster. It’s not that I haven’t thought about wooing him, but nothing good happens every time I get involved with him. He is also the instigator of the decline of his own power. Such a god
The guy who hates ghosts and abandons them deserves to end up like this.
Even Bi Ziang and many other people who were in the same camp as Zu An in a sense breathed a sigh of relief. If Zu An was granted the title of Duke, they would be a little embarrassed.
Everyone in the court was satisfied, but Yi Chun was not satisfied. His son's life was so easily sealed?
He wanted to say something more, but the emperor frowned, and now even those who were in the same camp as him came out to admonish him.
In fact, in the eyes of most people, a duke's name has been used to pay for his son's life, and it would be too much to be dissatisfied.
The world is like this. Everything has a measurement standard. The pricelessness of life is just what everyone says. In fact, everyone has a scale in their heart.
Everyone knew what Yi Zhibing's character was, so most people believed Zu An's words, so he was considered worthy of death.
Sensing the emperor's dissatisfaction, Yi Chun's heart became cold. She knew that the emperor was now on the rise, and if he continued to entangle and mess up his plan to enshrine himself, he might be in danger.
With no choice but to accept his fate, he could only stare at Zu An bitterly.
The anger value from Ijun is +555+555+555...
Zu An looked calm from beginning to end, as if he had expected this.
Next, the court began to discuss the demon clan's affairs lively. Many people asked for information about Zu An. The whole court was very excited. After all, this was one of the greatest victories of the human race in thousands of years.
After the court meeting ended, all the ministers came over to congratulate Zu An. Regardless of whether they liked him or hated him, they all had to admit that his identity was also very important in the court.
Zu An responded politely, and was soon informed by the young eunuch that the emperor summoned him in the imperial study.
Zu An felt a shiver in his heart and followed him to the imperial study room.
This place is said to be the Imperial Study Room, but it has actually been transformed into a place of spiritual retreat by Zhao Hao. Only a few close ministers are qualified to be summoned here.
After Zu An saluted, he quickly said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Sang is innocent. Those rumors of colluding with the demon clan to murder the mission are absolutely nonsense."
"I have a sense of discretion and have sent people to investigate." Zhao Hao said casually and stared at him, "How did the Demon Emperor die? Please tell me the specific details."
As the only opponent in the world, the Demon King died unexpectedly. Doesn't that prove that something might happen to him for the same reason?
Zu An had been prepared for a long time, so he completed many details in the secret realm, which were not revealed in the court.
Of course, his own existence is omitted, but the role of various immortals in the secret realm is strongly emphasized.
Zhao Hao's eyes sparkled when he heard this, and soon he couldn't sit still. He was pacing back and forth in the study, and his chest that kept rising and falling proved how excited he was at this time: "I didn't expect that there are really immortals in this world.
!”
Like the Demon King, he has been trapped in the current realm for many years. Although he has seen some records in history books, the further he goes, the more he feels that those are mythical legends, and he even suspects that there is no way forward.
Now that he knew that there was indeed an immortal, how could he not be excited?
Zu An hurriedly said: "The Demon Emperor was also very excited at the time, but it was this curiosity that killed him... Later, the road to heaven and earth was cut off, and the unknown place was completely closed, and it is estimated that it will not be able to be opened again for thousands of years.
"
He was worried that Zhao Hao would insist on seeing it with his own eyes on a whim. Now that the old demon king is dead, how can the demon clan stop him?
Of course, the Elders would come out together and cooperate with the Royal Court to protect the magic circle, so they would have some resistance, but in a battle, there would definitely be heavy casualties. He finally had some foundation there, but he didn't want it to be ruined in one day.
"The road between heaven and earth is cut off..." Zhao Hao recalled his story about how the Emperor of Heaven cut off the road between heaven and man, and murmured to himself, "No wonder there has been no progress for so many years...but how to recover and break through."
He was talking to himself, his face changing from gloomy to sunny, sometimes he was overjoyed, and sometimes he was frowning.
Zu An thought that this guy would not really find a way to break through when the road to heaven and humanity was cut off, right?
Then you will be screwed.
Fortunately, Zhao Hao had no idea after thinking for a long time, so he gave up thinking temporarily and said to Zu An: "By the way, what is the elixir you mentioned?"
"That's just a gimmick. The only one I found who took the elixir turned into a complete monster. It's too far-fetched to call it immortal." Zu Anxin thought that indeed these guys were dying.
Everyone was interested in this, so they briefly told the story of Yuqi's experiences.
These contents have been practiced many times by the Demon Clan Elders Council, and they have been perfected without any flaws.
As expected, Zhao Hao looked disappointed: "That's it."
Then Zhao Hao asked about some details in the secret realm, especially those related to the Demon King, and Zu An responded to them one by one with the prepared remarks.
While chatting, Zhao Hao suddenly asked: "What's wrong with your cultivation? Have you become a useless person?"
"I suffered some injuries in the secret realm and the royal court before. I should be able to recover after a period of training." Zu An said ambiguously.
Zhao Hao nodded. He didn't care whether the other party's cultivation level could be restored. He might even be more comfortable if he really became a cripple.
He waved his hand and asked him to leave. He was quite satisfied with this conversation. Although he didn't get anything specific, he knew that there was still a road ahead, which was more important to a being like him than anything else.
Not long after leaving the Imperial Study Room, Zu An was suddenly stopped by a figure: "Congratulations to Master Zu on your promotion to Marquis."
"It turns out to be Eunuch Lu..." Zu An recognized the other person as Lu Qi, the eunuch beside the queen.
After the two chatted for a while, he asked curiously: "Hey, why don't you see the Queen?"
This guy has always been by the Queen's side like a loyal licking dog. You almost see the Queen when you see him.
"It's rare that Mr. Zu still remembers the empress," Lu Qi's eyes flashed with a look of pain and expectation, "The empress is recuperating in the hot spring palace in the suburbs these days, waiting for Mr. Zu to pay his respects."
Zu An felt a little numb after hearing this. Although Queen Liu Ning is a beauty, Zhao Hao is still alive. The theft was entirely out of anger and revenge, but after calming down, he realized that this was completely on the verge of death.
Dance.
He often walked on the roadside without getting his shoes wet, and the Queen seemed to be taking advantage of him, making him feel like he had suffered a loss.
Just when he was looking for a chance to refuse, Eunuch Lu didn't give him a chance: "I have been talking about Mr. Zu several times, and my patience has reached its limit. Mr. Zu, please don't let me down. An angry woman can do anything."
The threat is palpable.
Zu An felt like a juicy cabbage being coveted by the female goblin.
Just as he was about to say something, Eunuch Lu seemed to have discovered something and drifted away.
At this time, there was the crisp sound of some ring banging next to me, and a noble and elegant sweet fragrance came from the air. However, the usually pleasant voice was now a bit cold: "There has been no news from Master Zu during this period. I thought
Something happened, it turns out someone else climbed a high branch."
