Fortunately, King Zhou's voice sounded immediately. He said in the hall,
"Imperial Preceptor is here. Quickly invite him in. These few days, I feel refreshed. It's all thanks to Imperial Preceptor. I am very happy."
The two of them entered the hall and saw that King Zhou was sitting alone at the dining table. Daji probably heard that someone was coming and went to the side hall.
Zhang Fang looked over and saw that King Zhou was about 30 to 40 years old. He was tall and looked extraordinary.
Shen Gongbao bowed and cupped his hands.
"I have received the grace of the Emperor to become the Imperial Advisor. This is only my duty. Why should I trouble the King to think of me?”
King Zhou was overjoyed. Although Shen Gongbao was an immortal, he was not arrogant and knew people's hearts. He liked him very much.
After praising Shen Gongpao, he looked at Zhang Fang. King Zhou frowned and asked,
"You are Zhang Guifang? Why did you come to Zhaoge instead of Xiqi? Do you think my 100,000 soldiers are a joke?”
Florence went forward and replied,
"Your Majesty, you sent Nine Dragons Island's Wang Mo and the other two to Xi Qi. These people took over my position as marshal as soon as they arrived.”
When King Zhou heard that, he was instantly displeased.
"I heard that the Grand Preceptor said that you were alone and weak, so I sent the four of them to assist you, but I didn't ask you to give the marshal to them.”
Only then did King Zhou remember that he had indeed seen a few strange Taoists some time ago, but he had long forgotten what they had said.
Florence lowered her head and said slowly,
"The four people from Nine Dragons Island were defeated in Xiqi, and Grand Preceptor Wen sent General Lu Xiong to replace them. I had nothing to do, so I came to Zhaoge.”
Shen Gongbao stepped forward and said,"
"That's right, Your Majesty. Wen Zhong is relying on his three dynasties 'old ministers to wantonly suppress the pillars of the Imperial Court.”
After King Zhou heard that, he slammed the table and said,
"How can Teacher do this? Last time, he held the Golden Whip and threatened to beat me in front of all the officials.
This time, he secretly changed the commander on the battlefield and did not ask about me. He relied on the fact that he was an important minister entrusted to me by the previous king and did not put me in his eyes.”
Shen Gongbao stepped forward and said,"
"Your Majesty, I think the most important thing now is to give Marshal Zhang a proper position.”
Shen Gongpao had his own thoughts. He cared about Zhang Fang because he could fight and had the results from last time. However, he did not want the generals of Yinshang to be at odds with each other and fall into chaos.
If he wanted to go against Jiang Ziya, he had to make use of all available resources and manpower.
King Zhou thought for a moment and said,
"That's good too. Minister Zhang, what position do you want? Just say it, and I'll agree!”
The sun had risen from the west. Zhang Fang did not believe that King Zhou would be so kind to her and care about her. It was just because of Shen Gongpao.
This made him very curious. What medicine did Shen Gongpao give King Zhou to make him listen to Shen Gongpao?
However, now that she was asked to choose an official position, Florence actually had no interest in being an official. However, without an official position, it was inevitable that her merit points would be a hindrance.
"Your Majesty, you can give me any random official position!”
Shen Gongpao's face darkened when he heard that. He said,"
"Marshal Zhang, at this time of national crisis, the capable have more work to do. How can you be idle?”
He still wanted Zhang Fang to replace Lu Xiong and continue the western expedition, and he wanted to invite a few fellow daoists to help.
Florence smiled and said,
"You're wrong, Taoist Master Shen. I actually want to set up a school in Zhaoge to train talents for the king and develop the people's livelihood.”
Shen Gongpao rolled his eyes when he heard that. No one knew what he was thinking.
King Zhou's eyes flashed, and he returned to his indifferent look. He said indifferently,
"You can do whatever you want, but your official position will be…the general of the auxiliary country.”
Zhang Fang had no strength to complain. She thought to herself, What kind of official position is this? However, she had no choice. Wen Zhong is now in charge of all the affairs in the country.
Although the general was more powerful than the commander of the Green Dragon Pass, he did not have any real power. He only had a title and no soldiers under him.
To put it bluntly, he was inferior to the commander of the Green Dragon Pass.
However, Florence did not care about this official position. What she cared about was how to get merit points.
Florence cupped her hands and said,
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Shen Gongbao congratulated him,"
"Congratulations, General Zhang. In the future, you and I will be officials of the same palace, so we can take care of each other.”
Florence curled her lips and finally smiled helplessly. She said,
"Thank you for your recommendation, Daoist Priest. Otherwise, I might not even be able to see the king.”
At this moment, King Zhou interrupted,
"State Preceptor, how was the matter you discussed with me last time?”
