Chapter 725: Is this kid smoking green smoke from his ancestral grave?
The tiger talisman handed to Zhuo Mufeng by the man was about the size of an adult's palm. It was carved from amber jade, with teeth and claws spread out, lifelike, and there was a Chinese character Zhang on the forehead of the tiger talisman.
The Eighth Prince and several important ministers immediately recognized that this was the military order tiger talisman specially made by Wei Yudao Jiedushi, which was famous throughout the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. In this way, there was no doubt about the identity of the other party.
Those who initially looked at Sheng Zhuo Mufeng with mocking intentions were all dumbfounded and couldn't believe what they saw.
What is going on? Except for a few Jiedushi envoys in the thirty-two realms of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, most of them had unpredictable attitudes and wanted to cede territory to become kings.
Among them, Wei Yudao Jiedushi Zhang Jiaquan and others are the most obvious. In recent years, Zhang Jiaquan has continuously dismissed officials close to the court and placed his own people in major important positions. Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone.
Under such circumstances, how could he allow the people of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to sit in the position where the military march was recorded in Gusu City? Judging from his attitude, not only did he not object, but he also strongly agreed. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to send people just after the imperial edict was issued.
The tiger talisman was sent to me. How can there be such a coincidence in the world?
Zhuo Mufeng was also dumbfounded and did not dare to pick up the tiger talisman for a long time. He really couldn't understand the twists and turns behind him and was afraid of a trap, so he smiled bitterly and said: "I am not very talented and have little knowledge. I am afraid that I am not worthy of Master Zhang's love."
The man took a deep look at Zhuo Mufeng and said: "This is your Lord's decision. He values Zhuo Lushi so much, so Zhuo Lushi is worthy of it. My Lord, I have never passed my eyes in this life."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and the Eighth Prince and several important ministers became even more angry.
In the man's tone, it was clear that Zhang Jiaquan valued Zhuo Mufeng, so Zhuo Mufeng could sit down and record the military affairs. Although it was true, speaking in front of them, the backbone of the imperial court, was too disrespectful to the imperial court.
Do you see it in your eyes?
For a subordinate to be so arrogant, one can imagine Zhang Jiaquan's own attitude towards the imperial court.
Zhuo Mufeng felt an even bigger headache. He could sense the changes in the atmosphere better than anyone else. The glances behind him made his back hair tingle. It was not because he was afraid of the Eighth Prince and others, but because the situation here would definitely reach the ears of the Emperor of Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
inside.
If I gladly accepted the Tiger Talisman, what would the Emperor of Eastern Zhou think?
But if he didn't accept it, Zhuo Mufeng looked at the increasingly fierce eyes of the man opposite him, as well as the hundreds of strong soldiers with iron blood behind him. He represented Zhang Jiaquan. If he refuted Zhang Jiaquan's face in person,
Do you still want to hang out in Weiyu Road?
To put it bluntly, in the officialdom of Wei Yu Dao, Zhang Jiaquan's words are much more effective than those of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty Emperor.
Mudd!
Zhuo Mufeng had a splitting headache. This was not possible, and that was not appropriate. He was really in a dilemma. With his response, he didn't know what to do at this moment. There were two bottles of poison in front of him. He had to choose one and drink it, otherwise it would be the same.
Both parties were offended.
Seeing his grimace and hesitation, the man said calmly: "Zhuo Lu, my master has been living in seclusion these years, and there are fewer and fewer young people who can be valued by him. But as long as he is valued, it will be a success in the future.
Don’t miss this great opportunity.”
Zhuo Mufeng couldn't help but cursed in his heart, "You really value me, why don't you secretly give me the Tiger Talisman in private? You are still so prosperous, you have to force me to get on the pirate ship, right?"
At the same time as he was secretly resentful, the voice of the Eighth Prince sounded behind him, which seemed cold but was actually gloating about his misfortune: "Zhuo Lu, you need to think twice before acting, and don't let temporary gains blind your mind."
Zhuo Mufeng had no time to talk to the other party. He thought about it over and over, but still couldn't make a decision. The main reason was that the Sanjiang Alliance was in Zhang Jiaquan's territory, so he had to worry a lot, but he really didn't dare to approach Zhang Jiaquan in public.
This guy is also a scoundrel. He was forced to do nothing. He actually turned around and looked at the eunuch who passed the decree: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful. Before issuing the decree, you must have considered these things for me. I dare to ask my father-in-law, what did your Majesty say?
?" He blinked his eyes, looking innocent.
The eunuch who delivered the order twitched his face and secretly scolded this boy for being shameless and kicking the ball to himself. If His Majesty hadn't given the order earlier, wouldn't our family have been deceived by him?
Thinking that the other party had a bright future, the eunuch who delivered the order did not dare to show his anger, so he could only say: "Your Majesty has spoken first, and everything will be at the command of Mr. Zhang."
What?
The Eighth Prince and others were shocked and turned pale. They all looked at the eunuch who was delivering the decree. One of the important officials shouted: "Father, this matter is of great importance. You can't talk nonsense and pretend to convey the holy will!"
The eunuch who delivered the order raised his hands in the direction of the imperial city and said solemnly: "Our family loves Your Majesty, how dare you do this? If you don't believe it, you can report our family to Your Majesty after you return to the palace."
Upon hearing this and looking at the expressions of the eunuch who delivered the order, the Eighth Prince and others were shocked. They did not believe that a eunuch had the guts to make up lies, but how could the always powerful Emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty do this?
Could it be that Zhuo Mufeng is being kept low-key for the future? But Zhang Jiaquan is not an idiot. He dares to re-employ him even though he knows he is from the imperial court. He will definitely try his best to win over Zhuo Mufeng. With his methods, a young official like Zhuo Mufeng will be defeated.
Where is the opponent?
No matter which angle you analyze it from, it is meaningless for the Emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to place Zhuo Mufeng in the position of recording the march.
The rest were puzzled, but Zhuo Mufeng didn't care about that much, he only cared about the predicament in front of him.
Since the Emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty had given the order, what was there for him to hesitate? He immediately turned around, smiled reservedly at the man and said, "Please tell Mr. Zhang that I am so favored by him, but I am afraid that I will work conscientiously to protect me."
Yu Dao and Dong Zhou are dedicated to their duties!"
In certain matters, Zhuo Daguan was very knowledgeable, and at the same time he spoke of Wei Yu Dao and Eastern Zhou Dynasty, being impartial and blameless.
The man sneered, and the look he looked at Zhuo Mufeng became a little unkind. Seeing Zhuo Mufeng stretching out his hands, as if he was ready to take the tiger charm, he had the urge to throw it away.
However, he was loyal to Zhang Jiaquan and remembered the latter's instructions, so he had to suppress his anger and reminded: "I hope Zhuo Lu will be consistent in his words and deeds and always fulfill his responsibilities, otherwise, huh!"
After saying this, he slapped the tiger talisman heavily on the palm of Zhuo Mufeng's hand. The force was so strong that Zhuo Mufeng gasped slightly in pain.
When Zhuo Mufeng raised his head, he found that the other party had already strode away. He got on his horse, shouted loudly, and galloped away with the white horse behind him. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared like a rolling torrent, taking away the pressure in many people's hearts.
"You have no king's laws, you simply have no king's laws!" An old minister was so angry that he trembled. Given his rank, he didn't even salute the Eighth Prince before leaving. Where did this put the royal family?
The Eighth Prince's face turned slightly blue, but he recovered after a moment and said with a smile: "After all, he was born as a soldier, so he didn't think too much about it. Mr. Liu doesn't need to care."
Mr. Liu was still scolding angrily. Seeing this atmosphere, the eunuch who delivered the order was unwilling to stay for a long time. After saying a few words to everyone, he hurriedly got on the sedan chair and drove them away, ordered people to set off, and returned to the imperial city to resume his duties.
The Eastern Zhou Dynasty envoy was running around day and night and it was not appropriate to continue on their journey. After receiving the news, the Lord of Gusu City had already been waiting not far away. When something happened here, he immediately ran over and greeted the Eighth Prince and others before leading everyone in.
Gusu City.
During this process, the Gusu City Lord looked at Zhuo Mufeng again and again, smiling on his face, but feeling indescribably shocked and disgusted in his heart.
He couldn't have imagined that the arrogant marching official had just left, and he thought he could breathe a sigh of relief, but one of them airborne immediately, and he turned out to be Wu Guanting's adopted son.
I asked him to tell me if this Zhuo Mufeng had smoke coming out of his ancestral grave. He hadn't even sat in the position of Colonel Zhe Chong yet, but it was about to jump to his head. However, this was approved by both His Majesty and Zhang Jiaquan at the same time. Compared with the previous one,
The position is still many times harder.
It seems that I must keep a low profile in the future. By the way, I must have never offended the Sanjiang Alliance in the past...
While the Lord of Gusu City was feeling uneasy, Zhuo Mufeng fell into unprecedented ecstasy, not only because he had temporarily avoided the entanglement between the court and Zhang Jiaquan, but also because after obtaining the tiger talisman, his power value experienced another surge.
increase.
It was originally only 18,290 points, but at this moment, it has jumped to 118,290 points, an increase of a hundred thousand points!
This also means that in addition to mobilizing city soldiers, recording military marches can also mobilize hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses outside the city. No wonder it makes the Lord of Gusu City fearful.
At the same time, it also shows from the side that Zhang Jiaquan really handed over this part of the military power to himself. Even though Zhuo Mufeng stayed away from this person, he had to marvel at his courage.
It is said that this man came from an ordinary family and only relied on his own hard work to reach where he is today. From this incident, we can see that the other party's success is not unreasonable.
Shaking his head, Zhuo Mufeng quickly put aside his distracting thoughts. Since the imperial edict stated that Zhuo Mufeng and others did not need to return to the imperial city, so after entering Gusu City, he and Leqian led Wu Yuanyuan, Qin Keqing and others to Ba
The prince said goodbye.
The Eighth Prince glanced at Wu Yuanyuan quickly. He was irritated, but he had no reason to stay. He could only smile and said: "The mission is fine for the time being, so you can go back first. When I am free, I will definitely visit the Wu Mansion as a guest."
Zhuo Mufeng chuckled. This time he observed carefully and finally realized why the other party hated him. He jokingly replied: "Your Majesty is a busy man. I'm afraid this small temple in Wu Mansion cannot accommodate you. Of course, if Your Majesty can
Come, I'll welcome you!"
After saying goodbye to several ministers, Zhuo Mufeng and others left.
The Eighth Prince frowned. He didn't know if it was an illusion. He seemed to hear a bit of edge in Zhuo Mufeng's last sentence, but when he thought about it, he couldn't help laughing and shaking his head.
Who is that kid? Regardless of whether the other party is aware of it or not, the Eighth Prince wants nothing he can't get except what's in the palace. Even if Wu Yuanyuan has been played to bits, he still has to get it and enjoy it.
, at worst, I’ll just kick him out when the time comes!
