Silver boots shine on the white horse, galloping like a meteor.
His white robe fluttered in the wind, and his handsome figure had an indifferent expression, ignoring the gazes of hatred.
Li Fuchen, who was sitting in the carriage, opened the curtain and kept sizing up the man.
He had to admit that this extraordinary calmness was rare and precious.
If it were him, he would have long been furious or lose control of his emotions when faced with the insults of the people in the city.
Young Master Su was like an emotionless machine, terrifyingly calm!
"What a joke. The Great Zhou Empress has learned a half-baked imperial technique.”
Li Fuchen laughed in his heart.
As an old official who had been immersed in politics for many years, he could easily see through the Great Zhou Empress's thoughts.
Since ancient times, after the emperor's power was stabilized, most of them would kill the meritorious officials.
It was impossible to judge whether this was good or bad.
However, when water is full, it overflows, and when the moon is full, it loses.
Su Guan's Jinyiwei had offended the officials of the Great Zhou, but they were not allowed to bully the people. It was said that it was written in the rules that whoever touched them would be executed.
Now, almost the entire Great Zhou was cursing Su Guan, including the common people. Without the emperor's permission, who would believe such a large-scale slandering?
If he wanted to kill Su Guan, he would kill him. He had to make Su Guan bear the infamy and leave a mark of shame in the history books.
This was too much!
However…
In the end, it still depended on how capable Su Guan was and how valuable he was.
Once he arrived in the Chu Country, the Nine Regions would praise Wu Mingyue for exchanging a piece of trash for a prosperous city.
His Majesty would then become a laughing stock and would not even have the face to face the ancestors of the Jiang Clan.
"She's only an eighteen-year-old girl after all. His Majesty is under too much pressure and might have made an impulsive decision because of this.”
Li Fuchen sighed and closed his eyes to rest.
There were no obstructions along the way. Before the city exchange was settled, the Great Zhou did not dare to secretly intercept and kill them. Instead, they had to do their best to protect them.
"Greetings, Supreme One!"
Outside Shendu City, there were a few rows of men wearing flying fish robes and embroidered spring sabers at their waists. There were about twenty of them.
Some of them were lieutenants, some were flag officers, and some were only the lowest level of the Brocade Guard.
But the only similarity was…
All of them had nothing to worry about and did not have to worry about their wives and children being taken revenge by the Imperial Court.
Therefore, he followed the commander without hesitation!
No matter where they went, they would pledge their loyalty to him!
"Get up."
Su Guan gently nodded. After a long silence, he said calmly,
"I promise you a lifetime of glory and wealth."
……
The Great Zhou Imperial Palace was filled with cheers and the atmosphere was especially festive.
Not only did he send away the evil demon of Great Zhou, but he also gained another city. It was simply double the joy!
"This subject requests for Your Majesty to grant amnesty to the world and erect a monument to commemorate Your Majesty's great achievements in expanding the territory!”
Prime Minister Pei Yuan kowtowed respectfully with a swollen face.
Immediately after, a group of ministers came one after another, all of them suggesting that this was the greatest victory since His Majesty ascended the throne!
Merit was in the present generation, and benefits were in the future!
Even the previous emperor had not opened up an inch of territory for the Great Zhou in his 30 years of reign.
In comparison, His Majesty was truly a wise ruler!
Since it was a victory, everyone would remember their merits and be rewarded. The thought of it made him even more excited.
On the throne, Wu Mingyue was all smiles. Other than joy, she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
Thinking about how the once loyal Eagle Hound was actually loyal to another woman, he was simply going crazy with hatred!
No one else was allowed to use the things she threw away!
For a moment, Wu Mingyue even hoped that Su Guan would suddenly die!
Xuanyuan Shang stood calmly in front of the palace.
The ministers looked at the handsome horses of the Xuan Yuan family with indescribable joy.
Although his appearance was far from Su E'Liao's, he was pleasing to the eye.
If the aristocratic families controlled the Embroidered Uniform Guards, it meant that everything that had happened before would be overturned. This department would no longer supervise the officials, but would suppress the Humble Class that had just risen!
"The position of the Embroidered Uniform Guards is not an important one. Your Majesty, please retract your order.”
Xuanyuan Shang said solemnly, his eyes filled with pride.
Wu Mingyue glanced at him lightly, not wanting to look at his ugly face anymore. She said lightly,
"You can't disobey the king's orders!"
After weighing the pros and cons, she finally considered such a person. Now that the imperial power was stable, she needed the help of the aristocratic families to regain her glory.
Xuanyuan Shang was talented and had a strong background, so he had no problem being the commander.
" Then..." Xuanyuan Shang deliberately hesitated for a moment before he bowed respectfully and said,"
"I will not disappoint Your Majesty!"
The curtain of the foolish person had come to an end. It was time for him to make a brilliant entrance. From now on, the Great Zhou Imperial Court should also look up to him!
However, before that…
A sharp voice came from outside the hall,"
"The emissary of Zhao requests an audience!"
The court instantly fell silent.
The ministers were flabbergasted, unable to react for a moment.
What was going on?
Within a day, Li Fuchen of Chu had just left when the envoy of Zhao arrived.
Could it be?
Impossible!
Su Guan was just an ant, how could he be taken seriously by the huge State of Zhao?
Only Chu Qicun would pick up the trash that the Great Zhou did not want.
Wu Mingyue narrowed her eyes and said,"
"Announce!"
Under the lead of the eunuch, a scholar with beautiful sideburns and long eyebrows entered the court hall.
He first presented his identity token, then looked around the palace. His heart fell to the bottom of the valley, and he said in disappointment,
"Where's Young Master Su?"
Boom!
His words were like a huge rock falling into the deep sea, setting off torrential waves!
The ministers nearly fell to the ground, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Su E'Liao again?
They even suspected that there was something wrong with their hearing, but the deathly stillness of the court was enough to prove that this sentence was not false!
The State of Zhao in the north had come specifically for Su E'Liao!
"Could it be that he was executed?" The messenger's voice was hoarse and he was a little disappointed.
Wu Mingyue was furious. Her fair face turned red as she shouted,
"The Chu Country has just taken away this criminal!”
Hearing this, the envoy's face twitched slightly. The State of Zhao bordered the northern side of the State of Zhou, so once there was news, it would be quickly known.
He had already rushed over as fast as he could, but he was still a step too late.
Damn horses!
Run faster!
"Alas, the State of Zhao missed out on a shocking genius!”The envoy could not help but sigh. His expression was filled with regret and unwillingness.
If he brought Su Guan back, he would definitely be promoted and might even be awarded the title of nobility!
Not only did the Emperor admire this child, but most importantly, he had the intention of making this child the Prince Consort!
One could imagine how disappointed His Majesty would be when the news was brought back.
However, when these words fell into the ears of the Great Zhou officials, they immediately felt a deep sense of humiliation.
This kind of evil demon could be considered to have some ability at most, but without the support of His Majesty, how could he hold such a high position at the age of 20?
He was nothing like a world-shocking genius!
They were not looking down on him maliciously. It was just that His Majesty took too much care of him and almost favored him. Could such a pig fly?
"What did the Chu Country pay?" The messenger bowed respectfully and asked.
Judging from the looks of these people, they probably didn't fully understand Su Guan's value.
Actually, it was normal. Originally, the State of Zhao did not take a fancy to the head of the Embroidered Uniform Guards. However, they were annoyed by the intelligence war and were at a disadvantage everywhere.
Therefore, His Majesty secretly hinted that he should imitate Su Guan and create a Brocade Guard.
Isn't it easy to copy?
Then, he realized how huge the difference was!
The Embroidered Uniform Guards of the Great Zhou were bloodthirsty beasts!
What Zhao sent out was a sickly kitten. In order not to lose face, His Majesty immediately dismissed him.
Therefore, he understood Su Guan's ability.
"A city." Prime Minister Pei Yuan saw that the Emperor was not speaking for a long time, so he took the initiative to answer.
There was also a hint of showing off. After all, the State of Zhao had always had friction with the Great Zhou. Now that the Great Zhou had grown stronger, they would definitely show off to their opponents.
"What?" The messenger cried out in alarm and actually lost his composure.
Everyone in Nine Regions knew very well what a city meant to Chu!
This matter would definitely spread throughout the Nine States and set off unimaginable waves!
The State of Zhao could not give him this bargaining chip.
No one dared to bear the crime of losing territory.
The 8,888 taels of gold that His Majesty had prepared in advance, it seemed that it was not presentable…
"The Empress of the Chu Country is extraordinary!"
The messenger praised sincerely. After he finished speaking, he felt that there was something wrong. He cupped his hands and immediately left the court hall.
Wu Mingyue's expression was extremely ugly, as if she had been publicly insulted. She had never been so furious before!
The Empress of Chu had extraordinary charisma. Wouldn't that mean that she was blind?!
Was he hinting that Wu Mingyue was a fatuous ruler?
In an instant, Wu Mingyue was filled with killing intent. However, he did not send anyone to make things difficult for him because he believed that the emissaries of the two countries should not be killed.
How hateful!
The State of Zhao in the north and the State of Chu in the south were willing to exchange benefits for a guilty minister?
Did I miscalculate?
Impossible!
Wu Mingyue's eyes gleamed with sharpness. She had always been confident and every decision she made was correct.
Only then could he stand on the supreme throne and rule over the people of Great Zhou!
And now, she firmly believed that she was still right. The two countries were clearly blind!
Did they think Su Guan was capable?
Without my help and guidance, how could he have his current glory?
The true value.
It is my wisdom!
"Retreat!"
With a cold shout, the beautiful and elegant empress slowly left, escorted by eunuchs and palace maids.
