Everyone looked at each other, but there was not much joy on their faces.
He is just a marquis. To Lu Yu now, he is nothing, and is even dispensable.
Ever since Lu Yu destroyed the Qi Dynasty, the entire court has been in silence, without even a sound being made.
Everyone guessed that this was the court discussing a reward for Lu Yu. But they didn't expect that now that the answer to the mystery is revealed, the answer is so disappointing.
He was just a marquis with no real power, and his reputation as "Marquis of Zhendong" was not even as famous as Lu Yu's "General Zhenguo".
"Your Majesty? Which Emperor is it?" Lu Yu said coldly.
Shen Linglong is now unable to protect herself. Lu Yu will not believe that she would have the intention to find someone to give him this reward.
Xu Yingwu cupped his hands in the void and said: "Who else can there be? The prince is destined by heaven to inherit the legacy of the late emperor. He has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. Soon he will tell the people of heaven and earth that the Shen family has lost virtue and abandoned the human race.
The Holy Artifact Human Emperor Sword is already a sinner of the human race and is not worthy of being an emperor at all. In the future, the entire heaven will respect my emperor."
The prince has ascended the throne!
Lu Yu frowned, and everyone around him showed shocked expressions.
Zhang Yi also looked unhappy. As the commander of Skynet, he didn't know the news.
Even Skynet didn't detect the news in advance, so there was only one possibility. The prince did it very urgently, and even completed his ascension to the throne without warning or giving anyone a chance to react!
If a new emperor of the Chinese dynasty wants to successfully ascend the throne, the ceremony that needs to be completed is quite complicated, and it may even take more than a month to prepare.
But Prince Zhao Yuanyan simply skipped those complicated steps and took the lead in proclaiming himself emperor!
This is equivalent to cutting first and then showing off!
"Why, Master Lu, is he dissatisfied with our emperor's ascension to the throne?" Xu Yingwu frowned when he saw Lu Yu, and scolded him coldly.
Lu Yu glanced at him: "Just tell me what you want to do when you come here."
If you just pass the decree and ennoble yourself, there is no need to go to such trouble.
In the past, when Lu Yu was appointed Governor of Dongsheng, several eunuchs came to read out the decree. Since it was just a reward, they could just leave after reading it out.
But now, the imperial court not only sent a minister, but also a large number of dragon guards in brocade to accompany him.
This doesn't look like a declaration, but rather like a show of force.
Xu Yingwu's face changed slightly, and a look of anger flashed between his brows. He was pampered in the imperial capital, and no one had ever treated him like this.
Xu Yingwu said coldly: "According to His Majesty's Holy Order, Zhendong Marquis Lu Yu will immediately go to Sishui Pass to help, and Prince Guigu will control it."
There was an uproar in all directions.
They had just discussed the battle on the front line, but they didn't expect that the imperial court would move so quickly and was already preparing to send Lu Yu forward.
"The imperial court wants us to participate in the war, which is fine, but the troops and horses have not yet moved the food and grass. Has the imperial court prepared the military pay?" a Qianlong Army commander said coldly.
From the establishment of the Qianlong Army to the present, all military salaries of the Qianlong Army have been provided by Lu Yu.
Although it is an official army in name, the Qianlong Army has been separated from the imperial court and has completely become Lu Yu's personal armed force.
"Military pay? No! The Qianlong Army will continue to stay in Dongsheng Galaxy to guard against attacks from the side by the Tang Dynasty."
Xu Yingwu said loudly: "Lu Yu, His Majesty, thinking of your contribution to the imperial court, made an exception and promoted you to the rank of marquis. You can go to Sishui Pass with a bodyguard of no more than 3,000 people."
