Chapter 403
Walking with Xu Yuan, there is basically no need to worry about safety issues, and you can ask him about some doubts about cultivation.

Along the way, it was the most comfortable time for Zuo Dodge during this time. Since he entered Nansu City and met Jiang Yueluo, although he didn't say anything, his nerves were always tense, and now he was finally able to relax.

As far as he is concerned, this trip to the southeast has allowed him to see many shortcomings and gain a lot.

The most important thing is that for the great Jin Empire, the weakness of the southeast finally has its own opinion.

Walking with the grand master, naturally they would not fly through the clouds like a practitioner. The two just borrowed a not-so-luxurious carriage from the Hero Gang and drove.

Long-distance raids may be the weakest point of a third-rank grandmaster compared to Yinshen.

"With merit added to your body, your harvest should be good, right?"

Zuo Dodge was driving, thinking about something, when he suddenly heard Xu Yuan speak behind him.

A look of astonishment flashed across his face, but he still replied, "It's a pity, but it's a pity that I can't enter the Yin God."

"You are greedy. The gap between ascending the building and Yinshen is not that simple." Xu Yuan smiled.

Zuo Daoqi was curious about what he wanted to say, but Xu Yuan had already spoken again.

"I heard that you were born as a eunuch? Your merits and virtues are infinitely useful. It is not a problem to make up for the incomplete body, but it can help you break through the Yin God and add a lot of benefits."

Zuo Dodge turned his head suddenly, but then remembered what he was doing to stop him.

"Master Xu has a clever plan."

Xu Yuan smiled without saying a word.

Zuo Dodge felt a huge wave in his heart.

The matter in Nansu City must not be concealed, and the fact that he has obtained a large amount of merit will definitely be known.

Those who understand merit must know that it can make up for the incomplete body.

He was slightly excited.

'It seems... to be a man again, in the name of a man...'
Although carrying the eunuch's name on his back made him appreciate by Emperor Yuanji, which paved the way for today's achievements, but eunuch is not a good status after all.

However, what would people in the imperial court think of themselves after leaving the body of eunuch? What would the emperor think of him?

Zuo Dodge was distraught for a moment.

I don't know whether Xu Yuan saw that he was not a eunuch before, and I don't know if the reminder at this time was intentional or unintentional.

Left Dodge had to think about it.

According to the rules, Zuo Daoqi is now in the name of an imperial envoy. Although he is only patrolling the southeast, officials along the way will come out of the city to greet him.

It's just that Zuo Dodge didn't have this idea, so the carriage drove quickly, and passed by without waiting for the officials to get the news.

Of course, any problems, documents and other memorials need to be sent to Kyoto urgently.

Just like the Hanyuan Hall at this moment, Zuo Daoqi's official document has already been received.

None of the officials dared to speak, Zhang Weizheng lowered his eyebrows and sat in the grand teacher's chair, seemingly sleeping but not sleeping.

Emperor Zhengming's face was solemn, without the slightest emotion, Gu Jing's eyes seemed to contain monstrous anger.

"The southeast is corrupt, and a family in a county dares to commit such a heinous crime. What do you think?"

The silent Hanyuan Hall seemed to have been pressed the pause button, without the slightest sound.

The matter in Nansu City is too big. Although the massacre of Moxiu City happened before, it was all county towns that were slaughtered before. It is rare to slaughter counties like Nansu City. Moreover, every time a major case occurs, the emperor at the time is big Administrative order to take countermeasures.

The same must be true for Emperor Zhengming, which is related to the majesty of the royal family.

Therefore, Zongzheng Ji Qianyu, who has never been required to go to court today, also went to court.

No one among the officials spoke, Ji Qianmao glanced at everyone with cloudy eyes, and then spoke softly.

"The situation in the southeast is complicated and requires a long-term plan. However, the disaster in Nansu City is due to the negligence of Yue Chong, the governor of Nansu County. I heard Zhang Xiang said in the past that if a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his weapon. Let Yue Chong see it. The sharp weapon of Confucian scholars is blunt."

As soon as this remark came out, the whole court was shocked, and all the officials were boiling.

Today, all the lords of the court, who were not "scholars" in the past!
Sharpening a knife is a painful thing.

Both for the sharpener and for the knife itself.

Emperor Zhengming's gaze swept over Zhang Weizheng unobtrusively, his face still expressionless.

What Ji Qianmano said was a major matter, so he naturally wouldn't make a decision at the court today, so he said loudly.

"What Zongzheng said is a major matter for the country, but it is of great importance. Maybe there is a charter..."

"When the late emperor was alive, he entrusted me to govern the southeast when he was dying. Since I ascended the throne, I have been sleeping all night long and entrusting many elders and students of the southeast to govern the southeast, but I don't want to cause today's catastrophe. Southeast..."

All the officials have been silent, listening to the meaning of the emperor.

Now there are two ways, either the Confucian scholars will deal with the East China Sea Alliance, or the imperial court will deal with the Confucian scholars.

After a moment of silence, they finally ceased to be silent.

It is obviously unwise for the emperor to put a knife on his neck. It is a famous saying of a sage that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall.

The first person to speak was Zheng Chixiao who is now in charge of the Grand Tutor. He is still as hot as before, as jealous as before, holding an official wat with both hands, and his face is serious.

"Since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, the southeast area has been like scabies, and it will not be dispelled. It was not easy for the Taizu to establish a country, but now it has rotted so far from the imperial court. The heart is very painful. Now everything has come to an end. When scraping the bone to heal the wound, the old minister thought that it is necessary to sharpen the knife and also need to use the knife!"

"Your Majesty, please send troops to the southeast, and use the three departments of Dali Temple, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Rites to jointly check the officials of the world."

What he said was very serious, causing all the officials to boil slightly.

A look of displeasure flashed across Emperor Zhengming's face. Zheng Chixiao is too upright and tactful. If he says such things at this time, is he setting me on fire?
He was already somewhat dissatisfied with Zhang Weizheng's monopoly, but at this moment he extended this thought to the entire Confucian scholars.

Liu Xi kept watching the emperor's eyes all the time, and seeing this, he hurried forward and said.

"Your Majesty, Master Zuo destroyed the Sun family and beheaded Yue Chong, the governor of Nansu County. His Majesty also said that he would be bestowed upon him."

Like a savior, Liu Xi's voice fell, and all the officials looked at him with gratitude.

Emperor Zhengming glanced at Zhang Weizheng who had not spoken from the beginning to the end, "How does Xiang Zhang feel?"

"The old minister is getting old, His Majesty can make a decision on this matter."

"Then make him a county man. Changyi pestered me several times before."

Emperor Zhengming seemed to be joking, but none of the officials spoke.

The emperor's appointment of titles should be a major event, but in today's situation, all the scholars are silent, and Yu Shitai, who was the most provocative in the past, is also covering his drums at this moment and not saying a word.

It's just that the Confucian scholars in the imperial court are not those servile officials in the southeast after all.

Just transferred from Yushitai last year to Dali Siqing, the 92-year-old Zhou Jian looked at his former subordinates with unpredictable and disappointed eyes.

His eyes dimmed slightly. In the past when Emperor Yuanji was in power, the Zaoyi office was first set up. Shen Guang spoke up for justice and dared to ask the emperor to issue an edict to sin against himself, so he was killed by Wang Luzhang outside the Meridian Gate. It was as if the spine was broken, and there was too long a silence.

Zhou Jian took a step forward, "The old minister thinks it's wrong!"

Emperor Zhengming didn't move his face, but raised his eyebrows slightly, with a slight respect on his face. A 93-year-old Confucian scholar, no matter how strong his cultivation is, deserves his respect. "What's wrong with Zhou Qing?"

"Those who confer titles are all due to meritorious deeds. Zuo Daoqi's merits have always been recognized since ancient times. The veterans thought...not enough! Moreover, Zuo Daoqi...was born in the palace."

Although Zuo Daoqi destroyed the Sun family and beheaded Yue Chong, Nansu City was destroyed after all.
After the words fell, Zhou Jian's face flashed despondent.

Compared with Shen Guang, he was much more tactful. If it was Shen Guang, he would not care about the emperor's thoughts at this moment, and directly angered the emperor, asking him why Zuo Daoqi was not punished!

Zhang Weizheng, who had been sitting firmly on the high platform, finally spoke at this moment, "Zuo Daoqi went to the southeast. This old man was preparing for the grand event of Tianyuan and asked him to experience it. He discovered the changes in Nansu City, so the old man ordered him to be a messenger. , all of this is due to the merits of others.”

"In the past, Wei Ming, the great eunuch in the Lin Dynasty, was appointed as the Marquis of Ziyang. My grand Jin spirit is no less than that of the old Lin Dynasty."

Zhou Jian couldn't help being silent when he heard this.

From the beginning to the end, regarding the matter of Nansu City, not many people in the imperial court knew all the news, and even fewer knew the ins and outs of it.

Emperor Zhengming said softly, "Does Zhou Qing have any objections?"

Zhou Jian silently returned to the official column.

Emperor Zhengming said again, "Zuo Daoqi has made meritorious service, and I would like to reward him, Liu Xi."

"Pass down the order to seal Zuo Daoqi as a male in Ling County, and eat thousands of households."

Then, he looked at the officials again, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, "Zuo Daoqi's merits, I don't think a mere baron is enough, remember to tell him when you confer the imperial edict, if you can win the Tianyuan event, I will confer him a son-in-law. "

Baiguan was indifferent again, as was Zhou Jian.

Only Ji Qianmao glanced at Zhang Weizheng with a searching look.

Now the little emperor seems to be more and more proficient in the technique of balance.

Suppressed the Confucianism headed by Zhang Weizheng, but promoted Zuo Daoqi, who had a grudge against the clan mansion.

It happened that the pressure was within the range that the two forces could bear, and such temptations had become more and more frequent during this period of time.
-
How turbulent and turbulent the court is, for Zuo Daoqi, it has not changed at all.

He was still thinking about all the changes after he returned to Beijing and announced that he would restore the man. Because of the existence of the golden finger, he has actually formed a wonderful deduction ability for the analysis of many people's experiences and personalities.

The matter of Nansu City, as the officials along the way told each other, it finally spread, so at a place where the carriage was hundreds of miles away from the capital, the chief envoy of Huzhou and the people from the Yangchun Palace began to greet him, with the people who came to him beside him. Liu Xi who announced the decree.

He shouldn't have come, but he is an eunuch after all, and eunuchs know eunuchs best, and he thought he knew Zuo Daoqi very well, so he was willing to change the place where the edict was announced to outside the city, in order to give Zuo Daoqi more momentum.

Emperor Zhengming had a noncommittal attitude towards this.

Slaughtering 20 people in the city overnight and suppressing the Xiongzu in the southeast, Zuo Daoqi's reputation among the people gradually increased.

Zuo Daoqi walked to the distance, saw the voices of people at the far end, Liu Xi was among the leaders, he sighed.

"Master Xu, you..."

Turning around, there was no one in the car.

With a wry smile, he took out several coffins that he had already prepared from the space ring, and summoned the giant python that had been refined into a heavenly dragon.

"Fahai, you are carrying these coffins."

"Yes, sir."

Having seen Zuo Daoqi kill Yinshen Fahai by climbing a building, he is acting extremely docile at the moment.

He was about to meet the people of the imperial court, and he had to put on a show after all, at least not to lose his momentum of suppressing the Yinshen clan in the southeast.

This is not simply for the sake of face, but also for the sake of 'propriety'.

"Is the imperial envoy Zuo lord in front?"

Just as Fa Hai loaded up the coffins, he saw a few soldiers in light armor in the distance, driving their horses to Zuo Daoqi, stopped, and the horses neighed.

Zuo Dodge looked indifferent, not angry, "Exactly."

"I've met Master Zuo! The last general will be greeted by Master Liu, the chief envoy of Huzhou. Please follow Master Zuo."

Zuo Dodge nodded slightly, and stood between Fa Hai's two agate-like antlers, and there were several coffins on the snake's body.

When the common people saw Fa Hai's huge body, they all showed horror on their faces.

Fortunately, Fa Hai had been condensed by Zuo Daoqi's Buddhist skills, and his evil spirit was gone. His ugly appearance did not appear to be shocking, but instead carried an unusual dignity and majesty.

Zuo Daoqi followed behind the two, Liu Xi smiled like a chrysanthemum, and said softly to the envoy of Huzhou Governor and the envoy of Yangchun Palace beside him.

"Our Lingxian man has arrived, the two adults will go with me to meet him."

Male from Ling County?
Zuo Dodge froze for a moment, then seemed to think of something, his eyes flashed.

After all, he had been in the palace before, and this kind of personnel appointment from the country's highest power center, especially from the emperor's mouth, must contain invisible turbulence.

As Fahai approached, Liu Xi took three steps forward, and then said loudly.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor Zhengming, the imperial edict said: I heard that in ancient times, the sage kings depended on capable ministers to govern the world, and there were also strong generals to fight the chaos. The city of Nansu was destroyed, and the culprit was killed in Zuo Daoqi Town. The imperial court should be credited with the title of baron. Thousand households in Yiling County."

Liu Xi smiled all over his face, looking at Zuo Daoqi who was lost in thought, "Male Zuo County, accept the order."

A look of surprise flashed across Zuo Daoqi's face. It was extremely difficult to obtain the title of Dajin. In fact, there were very few dukes in the court who had titles.

It's rare to see a baron with food like himself.

There were not many surprises in his heart, but he was very cautious.

Zuo Daoqi took the imperial decree, looked at the crowd and clasped his fists, pointing to the coffin on Fa Hai's back, "Zuo has something important to do, these coffins contain the corpses of the Sun family and Yue Chong, the governor of Nansu County. Your Majesty's forgiveness, my lords excuse me."

But just after parting with this group of people, Zuo Dodge stopped again and looked at a carriage parked by the roadside.

Changyi stuck his head out and beckoned.

"Left…"

Seemingly noticing the officials around who hadn't left, she coughed lightly, "Lord Zuo, please get in the car."

Zuo Dodge squinted his eyes. There were obviously other people in the carriage. He raised his head slightly and saw a few familiar figures, and a warm feeling flashed in his heart.

It's really nice to have someone pick you up when you get home.

"Meet the two princesses."

In the car, Ji Lingshu opened his eyes slightly, his face expressionless, but there was a strange smile in his eyes.
