210: The king and his ministers rejoiced, but Cong Yun fell.
"Plain body."
Emperor Wu looked around at the ministers and said: "Yesterday, Zuo Qing outnumbered the enemy and subdued the heroes. His strength has been personally confirmed by the geniuses from all walks of life."
"Moreover, Zuo Qing has previously defeated the ghost army of Xu Yunshan, a remnant of the previous dynasty, defeated the demons of the Broken Cloud Mountains, and killed the leader of the Liansheng rebels. There is no doubt about his ability."
"It can be seen that Zuo Qing is both civil and military and has outstanding abilities. He must be the champion. Do you have any objections to this?"
Everyone's expressions changed, and they suppressed a hundred reluctances in their hearts and chanted in unison: "The Holy One is wise, and the humble ministers have no objections."
"Hahaha...ok."
Emperor Wu nodded with satisfaction, then glanced at Liu Fu from the corner of his eye and motioned for him to read out the imperial edict.
"All ministers listen to the decree."
Liu Fu took half a step forward, slowly unfolded the jade scroll in his hand, and recited loudly: "Zhenfu Division is stationed in Jinyun Prefecture, Xiyun Mansion, and Ping'an County Demon Suppressor Zuo Chongming..."
"With outstanding meritorious services and outstanding political achievements...he is specially awarded the title of champion, with the same rank as the second rank, and is also the envoy of the Zhenfu Division in Jinyun Prefecture and the Xiyun Mansion..."
"Grant the fiefdom to the Xiyun Mansion, command the three armies in the mansion, appoint and dismiss the officials in the mansion, kill first and then report after the seventh rank, capture first and then report after the fourth rank..."
"Special permission is given to gold feathers and jade tablets to enter and leave the palace, but not to worship the saint... In addition, I will give you 20,000 yuan stones, some gold and silver, some pearls and jade, and some silk ribbons..."
"Specially given to the divine weapon Gu Hong, the unique martial arts of Emperor Wu... I will be given a prince's mansion in the second city of Beijing. The date and location will be chosen. The cost of repairs will be allocated by the Ministry of Industry."
The long sound spread out from the main hall and resounded throughout the palace.
As it was passed on layer by layer, it gradually spread throughout the entire capital, and the roaring sound was like thunder, lingering across the sky for a long time.
The players who were eating and drinking in the outer hall of the palace were so shocked by this series of words that they were burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, and their brains went blank.
After a long time, they finally woke up from their stunned state and exclaimed in unison: "Fuck!!"
They finally understood why all the officials tried so hard to prevent Zuo Chongming from becoming a marquis.
Can you believe that the power of this champion is so terrifying?
Civil servants and military generals, those below the seventh rank should be killed first and then reported, those below the fourth rank should be captured first and then reported... How can they mobilize the three armies and appoint and remove officials in the government?
It is no exaggeration to say that this is simply a local emperor.
Not to mention being rewarded with magical weapons and unique skills.
Fuck fuck... so scary?
Chen Tianlong and others looked at each other and saw excitement, excitement and other emotions on each other's faces.
Damn, it’s so worth it, so worth it.
Not only did they hug a big thick leg, it was simply a 24K pure gold and diamond-encrusted supreme super gold thigh...
"Fuck."
"President, I have decided that from now on Mr. Zuo will be my father, biological father..."
"Haha, people don't like your son very much."
"Master Zuo is my light, my lord. The only meaning of my life is to lick Master Zuo..."
"Everyone..."
Chen Tianlong took a deep breath and said seriously: "From now on, the first task of our Tianlong Guild is to hold Master Zuo tightly and lick him well."
"Master Zuo tells us to go east, but we will never go west. He tells us to hunt dogs, but we will never chase chickens. Master Zuo's orders are everything."
at the same time.
All the officials in the palace were also confused and couldn't think straight.
This isn’t right….
They admitted that Zuo Chongming had suddenly emerged, his strength indeed exceeded expectations, and the feudal lord could no longer stop him.
But they never dreamed that Emperor Wu would give such great power to the champion. This guy... was much more powerful than the previous one, right?
Since the founding of the Wu Dynasty, the Zhenfusi and the civil and military systems are completely different things, and everyone is absolutely clear about them.
Although it is true that Zuo Chongming was granted a title, he was from Zhenfusi, so why could he remove, hold accountable, and appoint all civil and military officials?
This is completely asking Zuo Chongming to establish a small court.
Is Emperor Wu crazy?
The officials were silent for a short time, shocked, and then subconsciously looked at the Prime Minister.
But they saw Wei Tao lifting his hem, walking out of his seat with his knees bent, and shouting loudly: "The wise king, Zuo... The champion has outstanding merits and is both civil and military. It is natural for him to be like this."
This made the officials even more confused.
They thought that Wei Tao was attending to speak out against it, but they never thought that he was... in favor?
Could it be that Wei Tao is also old and confused?
However, several people who had talked with Wei Tao suddenly heard what he said at that time.
What if Zuo Chongming really becomes a marquis...
At that time, Wei Tao came up with three strategies. The first was to make Zuo Chongming a marquis but remove him from the post, which would directly make Zuo Chongming a powerless nobleman. In this way, there would no longer be any threat.
However, Emperor Wu would not agree, so the second method was to wait until Zuo Chongming was granted the title of Marquis, and then advise him to kick him out of the capital and let the Zhenfu Division fight internally.
If this move doesn't work, then use the last move - let Zuo Chongming perform meritorious deeds, and then praise him and kill him, so that his deeds will shock the master...
Now, there is an article in the imperial edict - Xiyun Mansion is listed as the fiefdom of Zuo Chongming.
As a result, Wei Tao's first two plans were all in vain.
Because Xiyun Mansion, as Zuo Chongming's fiefdom, has the greatest power, even his superiors at the Zhenfu Department cannot interfere hastily.
But Wei Tao's last plan is very promising.
Just imagine, now that Zuo Chongming is only seventeen, he has already reached this point. If he makes new achievements next, how will Emperor Wu reward him?
Even if Emperor Wu could reward him once or twice, he would eventually have no rewards, no titles, no gifts...
By then, it will be Zuo Chongming's death.
Thinking of this, several people clenched their fists excitedly and came behind Wei Tao and shouted in agreement.
When other officials saw that the leaders had expressed their opinions, even though they were confused, they did not dare to delay and came out to echo.
Other camps that were not on the same front as Prime Minister Wei got the hint from the leader and quickly stood up...
For a time, all the officials in the palace shouted for wisdom, without any objection.
"well……"
Zuo Chongming's expression remained normal, but in fact he sighed secretly: "Emperor Wu was afraid of me before, but Wei Tao remonstrated at the right time, so this is the result."
Wei Tao wanted to kill him, so Emperor Wu got off the donkey along the slope.
This move not only appeased Wei Tao, but also showed his appreciation for Zuo Chongming. At the same time, it made the officials more hostile to him, and it also allowed him to plant a minefield.

Those who can hang out in the court and sit on the throne, how can they have a fuel-efficient lamp?
There are many old foxes in this hall who eat people without spitting out their bones.
Although he was innocent in his heart, Zuo Chongming's face showed tears of gratitude: "Thank you so much for the gift from the Holy One. I will not be arrogant or impetuous in my humble position. I will die in service to you..."
"Okay...haha, okay, okay!"
Emperor Wu nodded with satisfaction, even took the initiative to pick up the wine bottle and said loudly: "Respect, the champion of the Wu Dynasty..."
The ministers returned to their seats, raised their wine bottles towards Zuo Chongming, with an inexplicable smile on their faces: "Respect, the champion of the Wu Dynasty."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the wine, and thank you for your love."
Zuo Chongming excitedly raised his wine bottle, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp: "Let's drink together..."
For a time, the hall was full of joy and laughter, the atmosphere was harmonious, and the emperor and his ministers were enjoying themselves...
Who can imagine how many undercurrents are hidden under the seemingly harmonious atmosphere...

Wei night, in the palace.
Nan Yuyan's face flushed with excitement, she pulled Nan Feiyu's sleeves, chirped like a jumping bird, and kept talking all the way.
She is in an especially good mood today...
Because her mother died young and her family was weak, although Nan Yuyan was also a princess, few people got close to her since she was a child.
If she hadn't been adopted by Concubine Wu, with Nan Feiyu standing in front of her, she would have suffered a lot of bullying...
But it's different now, because her husband is Zuo Chongming, the champion of the Wu Dynasty!!
Her older brothers, sisters, and younger brothers and sisters, who used to be indifferent and perfunctory towards her, changed their previous attitudes and became extremely enthusiastic towards her.
No, I shouldn't say enthusiasm, I can even say...diligence.
This frightened Nan Yuyan greatly. She had never enjoyed such treatment.
Fortunately, Nan Feiyu was always there to protect her, otherwise she really wouldn't know what to do.
Nan Yuyan asked doubtfully: "Sister, where are we going? This is not the way to the palace..."
"Mom wants to see us."
Nan Feiyu rubbed her little head and sighed distressedly: "Yu Yan, you must remember not to get too close to them."
"Don't worry, sister, I know."
The smile on Nan Yuyan's face froze, and she lowered her head in desolation: "They approach me actually because of my husband. I know it in my heart."
She has been exposed to the warmth and warmth of human beings since she was a child, and she understands these things naturally.
"As long as you understand."
Nan Feiyu breathed a sigh of relief, and then joked: "I haven't even passed the door yet, but you are calling me so smoothly? Husband? Oops~!"
"I hate it."
Nan Yuyan's pretty face turned red, and she pursed her lips in shame and anger.
When they arrived in front of Yuanhe Palace, the two girls restrained themselves a lot and respectfully entered the house to pay homage to Concubine Wu.
"coming?"
Concubine Wu smiled softly and turned away the maid servant: "Feiyu, Yuyan, come here, we three ladies can talk."
After the two girls sat next to her, she looked at Nan Yuyan with a smile: "Are you happy today?"
"Um."
Nan Yuyan responded softly.
"I'm so happy."
Concubine Wu gently held Nan Yuyan in her arms and whispered: "He is crowned the champion and the envoy of the town... He is praised too highly, too highly..."
"You have not yet reached the crown, but you have achieved the status of a prince. Looking at the past and present, there are only a handful of them. Girl, let's see how many of these people have a good death?"
"My mother treats you as her own daughter, that's why I'm telling you this. I'll tell Zuo Chongming later that I must keep a low profile and bide my time."
"mother……"
Nan Yuyan's delicate body trembled slightly as she silently kept these words in her heart.
"And Feiyu..."
Concubine Wu patted her on the back and looked at Nan Feiyu aside: "A secret message came from the Litian Sword Sect. The barbarians invaded massively and Cong Yun Mansion was completely captured."
"The Litian Sword Sect had no choice but to involve the whole family in Jinyun Prefecture. They learned about Zuo Chongming's deeds and speculated that he would be promoted."
"So, they want to use your relationship with Zuo Chongming to ask you to make an introduction so that the Litian Sword Sect can settle down in Xiyun Mansion."
Nan Feiyu turned pale and asked, "Ah? How could this happen? Doesn't the imperial court have reinforcements?"
