Sign In a Lu Bu Fengxian at the Beginning

Shu Palace.

In the study.

Zhou Zhi sat behind the desk, looked at a small piece of paper in his hand, frowned slightly and remained silent.

The butler of the palace stood respectfully in front of the desk.

The housekeeper of the palace was the eunuch who had been with Zhou Zhi all the time when Zhou Zhi was the prince. It can be said that he was the most trusted person of Zhou Zhi.

If Ji Wusheng is Zhou Zhi's confidant and think tank, then the housekeeper of the palace is the confidant that Zhou Zhi can entrust everything to.

"My lord, this Ji Wusheng met Yuan Ziming quietly late at night. I'm afraid this Ji Wusheng is someone arranged by the Yuan family to be next to your lord. Why not just..."

As the butler said, he made a throat-slitting motion.

This means that everyone can understand.

Zhou Zhi let go of his slightly frowned brows, and looked at the housekeeper with a faint smile; "San De, killing people is the worst method for some things, don't always think of using such methods to solve problems."

"Whether Ji Wusheng is someone the Yuan family arranged to be next to me is still open to discussion."

"We have also checked the details of Ji Wusheng, and we know that he is a student of the Yuan family."

"As a disciple of the Yuan family, it is normal to go to see the eldest son of the Yuan family."

Zhou Zhi put down the note in his hand.

What was written on the note was the words 'Ji Wusheng met Yuan Ziming late at night'.

Perhaps, Yuan Ziming and the three of them never imagined that although they left the Shu Palace, they were always under the surveillance of the Shu Palace.

Therefore, Ji Wusheng went to meet Yuan Ziming quietly in the middle of the night, and he did not hide it from Zhou Zhi's eyeliner.

"But lord, Ji Wusheng never told lord that he is a student of the Yuan family."

"Also, Ji Wusheng quietly went to meet Yuan Ziming late at night behind the prince's back, this..."

Before the butler finished speaking, Zhou Zhi directly interrupted the butler.

"San De, I know what you mean."

"Keep no life is a man of great talent,

People who want to use such great talents cannot look at them with a 'black and white' perspective. "

"Even if Ji Wusheng is someone the Yuan family arranges to be next to me, so what?"

"As long as Ji Wusheng can serve and be useful to me, then I will dare to use him."

"Besides, who doesn't have a secret of their own!"

Zhou Zhi was not surprised that Ji Wusheng was a student of Yuan's family and went to see Yuan Ziming quietly late at night.

As the king of Shu, how could Zhou Zhi not find out the details of the people around him!

Therefore, Zhou Zhi already knew that Ji Wusheng was a protégé of the Yuan family.

If Ji Wusheng didn't say anything, Zhou Zhi also had the right to pretend he didn't know.

From Zhou Zhi's point of view, it doesn't matter if Ji Wusheng is a disciple of Yuan's family, or someone arranged by Yuan's family by his side.

None of this matters.

The important thing is that Ji Wusheng is useful to him and can solve many problems for him, that's enough.

Hearing what Zhou Zhi said, the butler stopped talking about Ji Wusheng, and instead looked at Zhou Zhidao with a serious face; "My lord, these three aristocratic families obviously have bad intentions and want to drag the lord into the water."

"My lord, why still..."

The housekeeper did not continue, but looked at Zhou Zhi with a puzzled expression.

The housekeeper didn't believe that Zhou Zhi couldn't see the purpose of Yuan Ziming and the three of them doing this, but Zhou Zhi still didn't directly refuse.

This made the butler very puzzled.

"Why didn't you reject the three of them?"

Zhou Zhi smiled helplessly.

"This king, like them, has no choice."

"If the king and them cooperate, both will benefit, and if they divide, both will die."

"Those things in the palace, the emperor's elder brother even found out about the fourth child, and no one knows what else he found out."

"When you open the bow, there is no turning back arrow."

"Everyone underestimated him."

Zhou Zhi sighed quietly.

It is not so much that Yuan Ziming and the three of them used the ninety-five position to hang Zhou Zhi, but it is better to say that Zhou Zhi took the opportunity to hang Yuan Ziming and his wealthy family by taking the opportunity to go down the donkey.

If Yuan Ziming and the three of them knew, it wasn't that they planned Zhou Zhi, but Zhou Zhi took the opportunity to hit it off with them.

I don't know how Yuan Ziming and the others will feel.

"Your Majesty, even if His Majesty finds out something, with the Empress Dowager here, Your Majesty will not kill him."

"But once the prince and the family take this step again, there is really no turning back."

The housekeeper said to Zhou Zhi with a solemn face.

As Zhou Zhi's personal servant and confidant, the butler is very clear about what Zhou Zhi has done.

In the previous incident, with the Queen Mother present, even if the monk in the palace looked at the face of the Buddha, he would not kill him.

But if this step is taken further, it will be difficult to say.

After Zhou Zhi heard what the butler said, he looked at the butler with a smile; "San Dezi, now you are the only one who can tell the truth to me."

"You have been serving me since I was very young."

"This king knows that you care about this king, but the most ruthless emperor's family."

"You are also from the palace, you should understand this."

"Besides, this king is not reconciled. He is the most mediocre of our princes, and he is still a sick child."

"And ended up taking that seat."

"This king is very unwilling."

"That position should belong to this king."

At the end, Zhou Zhi exuded a strong hostility, and his face was full of unwillingness.

Seeing Zhou Zhi's state, the housekeeper next to him opened his mouth to say something, but finally he could only sigh silently.

I don't know if this is a curse or a blessing?

...

Luoyang.

royal palace.

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Zhou Chen narrowed his eyes slightly for half an hour.

Emperor is not so easy to be.

Especially now that so many big things have happened recently.

Zhou Chen not only has to deal with mountains and seas of memorials every day.

He also has to deal with those old and cunning civil and military officials in the court.

If it hadn't been for Zhou Chen practicing the Son of Heaven's Conferring God Technique, his strength had improved extremely quickly, and his body was constantly getting stronger, I'm afraid it would have been too much.

Even so, Zhou Chen felt a little tired every day.

This is because Du Ruhui helped him share some government affairs.

Without Du Ruhui, an outstanding person, to share the burden for him, Zhou Chen probably wouldn't even have a little free time.

Zhou Chen finally understood how those stupid kings in history came to be.

It's not that they are willing to be foolish kings, to be touched by others, and to leave a bad reputation for thousands of years.

It's that they can't be Mingjun.

Wake up and control the power of the world, and lie drunk on the lap of a beauty, this is the most corrosive thing.

In the face of the exhausting and numerous government affairs, how many people can escape the emperor's luxury and wealth!

After Zhou Chen woke up, he was ready to continue handling government affairs.

At this time, Cao Zhengchun walked in quickly.

"Your Majesty, General Lu and Cao Shaoqin have wiped out the forces in the Shenquan Sect that are involved in the death of the Grand Master."

"This is the news from the factory guard."

"Please take a look, Your Majesty."

Cao Zhengchun sent two news letters to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen took two news letters from Cao Zhengchun's hand, opened them one by one, and glanced at them.

Zhou Chen is not very interested in eliminating these forces in the arena.

From Zhou Chen's point of view, no matter how much the rivers and lakes dance, they can't get out of the palm of the court.

Since ancient times, which dynasty and generation of rivers and lakes forces can make waves in the hands of the court?

If it weren't for these people in Jianghu who dared to provoke him, Zhou Chen would not have made a move against Jianghu at this time.

Because Zhou Chen didn't even finish dealing with the internal affairs of the court, so he didn't have any extra time to pay attention to the forces in the world.

After reading the two pieces of news about the extermination of these Jianghu forces such as Shenquanmen, Zhou Chen pondered.

Zhou Chen was considering whether to take this opportunity to completely rectify the forces in the world.

Let the forces in the Jianghu understand that wherever the orders of the imperial court go, even the Jianghu will obey them.

There are no exceptions to speak of.

at this time.

A factory guard came in.

"Your Majesty, Li Shangshu, Minister of the Ministry of War, asks to see you."

After the factory guard walked in, he bowed to report.

"oh!"

"Let him in."

Zhou Chen raised his eyebrows and put away his thoughts.

Thinking in his heart that Shangshu of the Ministry of War had something important to do, he came to his Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The inner guard bowed and retreated.

A moment later, Minister of the Ministry of War walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"The old minister has seen His Majesty." After entering the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the Secretary of the Ministry of War saluted Zhou Chen who was sitting on the dragon chair.

"Li Aiqing doesn't need to be too polite."

Zhou Chen put down the two news letters in his hand, and looked up at the Minister of War; "Li Aiqing came to see me in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, is there something important?"

Since the last time the Minister of the Ministry of War took the initiative to come to the Hall of Mental Cultivation with the responses of the two Marquises at the border, this Minister of the Ministry of War has not taken the initiative to visit the Hall of Mental Cultivation again.

Today, the Minister of the Ministry of War took the initiative to come to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to have an audience.

Zhou Chen reckoned that the minister of the Ministry of War must have something important to ask him to see the emperor.

"His Majesty."

"Before, because the national treasury was empty, the military salary at the border this year has not been paid."

"Just now the memorial to the Marquis of Zhenbei and Marquis of Xiliang has been sent to the old minister."

"Please take a look, Your Majesty."

As the Minister of War said, he took out two memorials from his sleeve and handed them over.

A memorial to the Marquis of Zhenbei and Marquis of Xiliang to urge them to pay?

Zhou Chen's eyes flickered, and he took the two memorials handed over by the Minister of War from Cao Zhengchun's hand.

Opened it and glanced at it.

"hehe."

"Pay payment?"

After Zhou Chen glanced at the contents of the two memorials, he sneered and threw them on the dragon case.

Earlier, Zhou Chen, the emperor, ordered the Marquis of Beibei and Marquis of Xiliang to dispatch troops to the south to quell the rebellion in the four northern states.

As a result, the Northern Marquis of Zhenzhen and the Marquis of Xiliang put the defense of the border gates at the top of the list, and they evaded the will of the emperor Zhou Chen on the grounds that foreign races invaded the border gates.

Now you still think about asking the court for payment?

Zhou Chen tapped the dragon case with his fingers, his eyes were deep and silent.

Seeing Zhou Chen sneer, the minister of the Ministry of War below threw aside the memorial of Zhenbeihou and Xilianghou to urge them to pay, and his heart pounded.

If it was changed to the past, such a reminder memorial, the Minister of the Ministry of War would not make a special trip to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

However, ever since Zhenbeihou and Xilianghou evaded the imperial decree last time, the Minister of the Ministry of War knew that the man on the dragon chair might have thoughts about those two marquises.

Therefore, the Minister of the Ministry of War had no choice but to enter the palace immediately after receiving the payment reminder from Zhenbeihou and Xilianghou this time, and came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to ask for instructions.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Chen raised his head and looked at the Minister of the Ministry of War; "The reminder memorial for the customs here will be pressed for a few days, and we will wait for a few days to talk about it."

Now, the treasury of the household department is full, and Zhou Chen's internal treasury is also full.

The families of so many officials were confiscated and exterminated, whether it was the officials in the inner court of Luoyang, the rich families of the four northern states, or the Cui family of Boling, one of the seven great families of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

A lot of money was confiscated.

It can be said that the emperor Zhou Chen is not short of money now.

But even if Zhou Chen didn't need money, he wouldn't use it to support a group of frontier generals who listened to the propaganda and didn't listen to it.

Zhou Chen had to think about how to deal with the Zhenbeihou and Xilianghou who listened to the announcement at the border.

Now the rebellion in the four northern states has been put down, and the Cui family in Boling has also been wiped out.

Originally, Zhou Chen's next thought was to clean up the court first, and move the border.

But now that the payment memorial at the border has been delivered, Zhou Chen doesn't want to feed these unfamiliar white-eyed wolves for no reason.

After hearing Zhou Chen's words, Minister of the Ministry of War hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, this military salary has been a major event that cannot be ignored in all dynasties."

"If there is no military salary, the border army will have big problems."

"At that time, if the army is in chaos, it will be troublesome."

The Minister of the Ministry of War was afraid that Zhou Chen, the emperor, would be young and vigorous, because the Marquis of Zhenbei and Marquis of Xiliang had not obeyed the order before, and would cut off the military pay at the border.

Therefore, the Minister of War had to remind Zhou Chen carefully.

If the military pay at the border gate is cut off, the army at the border gate will be in chaos.

Foreign races outside the customs will definitely take the opportunity to enter.

If that was the case, it would not only be as simple as the chaos of the border army, but also the invasion of foreign races.

At that time, it will really be a big problem.

Zhou Chen naturally heard the meaning of the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Zhou Chen calmly glanced at the Minister of the Ministry of War; "I understand what Li Aiqing means."

"I know it well."

"It's been a long time since the border customs has been short of pay, and there's nothing wrong with it. It's not bad for a few days."

Zhou Chen looked at the Minister of the Ministry of War and said lightly.

Hearing the words, the Minister of the Ministry of War bowed immediately and said, "It's the minister who is worrying too much. Since His Majesty has already thought about it, the minister will stop talking."

"The minister will take his leave first."

Those who should be reported have already been reported, and those who should be reminded have also been reminded.

Now that His Majesty Zhou Chen has made a decision in his heart, the Minister of War will not say anything more.

Anyway, this kind of decision-making power is no longer in the hands of him, the minister of the Ministry of war, but in the hands of the majesty on the dragon chair.

Zhou Chen waved his hand.

Then, the Minister of the Ministry of War withdrew from the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After the Minister of the Ministry of War left, Zhou Chen pondered for a while, and after looking at the two letters of news that wiped out the forces of Shenquanmen Jianghu, he shook his head.

Originally, Zhou Chen was still considering whether to take the opportunity to make a move and rectify the Jianghu.

But now it seems that it is impossible.

Rectifying the rivers and lakes is not something that can be completed in a day or two, and it even takes longer than the rebellion of the four northern states.

Zhou Chen didn't spend much time in the arena now.

Compared with the affairs of the rivers and lakes, the affairs of the border and the affairs of the court are the most important.

However, there is no time to rectify the rivers and lakes for the time being, which does not mean that the court's voice cannot be heard on the rivers and lakes.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chen glanced at Cao Zhengchun next to him and said, "Cao Zhengchun, although the forces in the Shenquan Sect related to the death of the grand master have been wiped out."

"However, other forces in the rivers and lakes should also let them know that the power of the imperial court cannot be violated."

"In the world of Great Zhou, no one can override the orders of the imperial court."

"How to do it, I don't need to teach you!"

Zhou Chen looked at Cao Zhengchun.

Cao Zhengchun immediately bowed understandingly and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, this old servant understands."

"The old slave is going to send a letter to Cao Shaoqin and the others."
