Not long after, Li Zhi brought Fan Kuai, Dian Wei, and Wei Zhongxian over.
Li Zhi was wearing a dragon robe and looked majestic. After taking the Body Tempering Pill, he looked even more handsome and his face was as beautiful as jade.
The unlucky look from before was gone.
Seeing Li Zhi come over, everyone knelt on one knee and shouted in unison,"Greetings, Emperor! Long live our emperor!"
The sound of the mountain's roar thundered, and the sound shook the sky.
Li Zhi nodded in satisfaction.
"Soldiers, rise!" he said loudly.
After everyone stood up, Li Zhi was already standing not far away from them, his gaze burning as he swept across these people.
He knew that there were many people planted by the eighth empress.
However, there were still quite a number of people who were loyal to the country and to themselves.
After all, these were the elites of the various armies, and it was a supreme honor to be able to enter the Imperial Army.
It could be considered as a glorious sect.
"I want to build a new army called the Dragon Guard. As my personal guards, they will share the responsibility of the Imperial Army for the safety of the Imperial Palace.”Li Zhi said loudly.
Hearing this, the troops felt their blood boil.
However, there were also many people who were thinking about other things.
For example, would the Dragon Guards be able to take over the Imperial Army? After all, the spies in the Imperial Army knew that the Imperial Army was not Li Zhi's guards, but the Eight Empresses 'guards.
However, the eight queens weren't united yet.
Once they were united, it would be a matter of time for them to make a move on Li Zhi.
Among them, Lu Zhi and Wu Zetian had the greatest chance because they had infiltrated the Imperial Army the most thoroughly.
Upon hearing Li Zhi's words, some of the logistics officers in the Imperial Army blinked their eyes and immediately had the devious idea of informing him.
If Li Zhi established the Dragon Guards, then it would be useless even if Empress Lu and Empress Wu controlled the Imperial Army.
In the future, he would definitely be sidelined by the Imperial Army and would not even be able to get close to Li Zhi.
It would not be so easy to make a move against Li Zhi in the future.
A small-eyed chancellor said to the person beside him,""Old Wang, I suddenly have a stomachache. Take care of it first. I'll be right back after going to the toilet!”
"Yes, yes, go ahead." The middle-aged man called Old Wang, who was also a military chancellor, replied.
On the other side, Secretary Lu Gang also quietly left the school. When there was no one around, he ran out of the door.
Li Zhi was talking when Wei Zhongxian walked to his side and whispered something into his ear.
Li Zhi's gaze instantly turned cold, and killing intent rose in his heart.
"Hmph, I just made a decision here. Are you in such a hurry to inform Master? No wonder the entire palace was like a wind tunnel with no doors or windows. If there was any movement, the outside world would know.”Li Zhi thought to himself that he hated the people who Wei Zhongxian had reported.
He gave Wei Zhongxian an order to take Fan Kuai and Dian Wei with him.
Li Zhi collected his emotions and then had the Imperial Army stand in rows.
He walked past the Imperial Army soldiers and used his palm to approach them one by one.
The hair on his palms would stand up if he saw someone hostile to him. Li Zhi immediately confirmed that this person was a member of the eighth generation and got rid of him.
This time, he planned to choose 1,000 Dragon Guards and 300 Embroidered Uniform Guards.
........
Military Chancellor Zhang Mao jogged all the way to the outside of Purple Mansion Hall and then hurriedly explained his purpose of coming to the eunuch at the door.
Zhang Mao would come back from time to time to inform the eunuchs outside the door because they recognized him.
After some discussion, the eunuch went in to inform Wu Zetian.
Soon, Wu Zetian summoned Zhang Mao.
Wu Zetian was sitting behind a veil. She looked dignified and beautiful.
The two tall palace maids waved their feather fans, sending her a cool breeze.
"Greetings, Empress Thousand Years!" Zhang Mao kneeled on the ground, not daring to raise his head due to Wu Zetian's imposing manner.
" Speak, what is it?" Wu Zetian's lazy voice sounded, but Zhang Mao didn't get up.
"Reporting to Your Majesty Qiansui, the Emperor has just gone to the Imperial Army and said that he plans to build a new army called the Dragon Follower Guards. Their duties will be the same as the Imperial Army. This lowly one thinks that this will make the Imperial Army a figurehead, so I've come to report to Your Majesty and ask for Your Majesty's decision!”
"Oh?" Hearing this, Wu Zetian immediately sat up straight. A sharp light appeared in her eyes, and her aura became even more powerful, forcing Zhang Mao to raise his head.
Wu Zetian suddenly burst into laughter and said in a clear voice,
"Hahahaha, what a joke! If I can control one Imperial Army soldier, I can control two or three. I don't believe that he can get rid of all of my people unless he has that Sun Wukong's fiery eyes!”
"Your Majesty is wise! Forgive me for being stupid and unable to understand, but the Empress is still wise and extraordinary.”Zhang Mao buried his head and quickly flattered.
"Alright, you can leave now. I'll report back if there's any news.”Wu Zetian said.
"Yes, Empress." Zhang Mao stood up and slowly retreated. He didn't dare to look at Wu Zetian from the beginning to the end, afraid of getting himself killed.
(My mood was a little affected today. Chapter 18 was banned. I changed it seven times but it still didn't pass the review. I'm speechless!) Is the APP still showing a dot? The website has been restored.)
