Martial Arts of Longevity: Starting from the prison guards

Chapter 114 Resignation from Arrogance (for Subscription)

King Yongshan added 50 new recruits? ?

In the court hall, everyone's faces were a little solemn when they heard the words.

The Yinjia Army in Yongzhou already has 80 troops, plus these 50 recruits, a total of 130 million troops.

What does King Yongshan want to do?
The empress's expression remained unchanged, but a solemn look flashed in her eyes.

With more than a million troops, King Yongshan did violate the ancestral precepts set by the Great Zhou Taizu.

"The monsters in the southern border are about to make a move. King Yongshan's increase of one million troops is just to prevent the monster army from raiding the territory of Dazhou. Qin Lao, don't want to be suspicious and provoke the relationship between me and the six emperors."

"Your Majesty, the old minister is definitely not...!"

"Okay, this matter has been overturned for the time being, is there anything else?"

The empress interrupted Qin Zhong's words, her phoenix eyes swept over the crowd, and continued: "If there is nothing else, then retreat."

Hearing this, everyone bowed and saluted.

Until the empress left with people completely.

Qin Zhong raised his head, his old face was a bit dignified.

Ordinarily, the Empress wished that King Yongshan would disappear from this world. Why did he talk about this matter again and again, but the Empress defended King Yongshan everywhere?

Or does the Empress have another purpose?
Walking out of the Tai Chi Hall, Cao Dachun coughed lightly beside the big red pillar.

Qin Zhong looked at it with heavy eyebrows, and then walked slowly: "Mr. Cao has something to do with this old man?"

"Our family has met Zhongyonghou."

Cao Dachun spoke slowly, with a sarcastic smile on his face.

Qin Zhong could hear it. He glanced at Cao Dachun, then at the civil and military officials who were slowly leaving the Taiji Hall, and said coldly, "If you have anything to say, Mr. Cao, just speak up."

"My family has been feeling unwell. I haven't had tea with Zhongyonghou for a long time. Today I feel a little more comfortable. I would like to invite Zhongyonghou to Chengxuan Division for a while."

Cao Dachun spoke slowly.

Qin Zhong lowered his eyebrows and said for a moment: "Then go to Chengxuan Division to sit down and taste the Jade Guanyin treasured by Mr. Cao."

Cao Dachun said slowly: "Lord Zhongyong, please!"

Kou Shize walked out of the Tai Chi Hall, watched Qin Zhong and Cao Dachun leave together, he snorted coldly and headed towards Yongle Palace.

In addition to Tai Chi Hall, the empress works in the main hall of Yongle Palace.

Yongle Palace.

When Kou Shize saw the empress, he bowed and saluted: "Old minister Kou Shize sees Your Majesty."

The empress glanced at the haggard Kou Shize, and said coldly: "Just now in the court hall, I asked you a question, why didn't you say anything?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the discussion in the court is a state matter, and the old minister came to His Majesty to talk about some private matters."

When Kou Shize spoke, he glanced at Lu Ning who was on the side intentionally or unintentionally.

"Private business?"

The female emperor's phoenix eyes flickered slightly and said: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Kou Shize nodded and said: "Your Majesty, it's like this. The murderer of the old minister's son Kou Wei is still at large. For this reason, my wife has been ill for more than a month."

"In addition to the fact that the old minister was assassinated, Madam is now in a trance and urgently needs treatment."

"The old minister wants to resign his position as the right servant of the Ministry of War, and take his wife to the Beiming Immortal Sect to visit the senior medical immortals and seek medical treatment to save lives."

Empress, Lu Ning and others were a little surprised.

Kou Shize took the initiative to resign as the right servant of the Ministry of War. Although he has been suppressed by Pei Tong, he is also a position of real power. He controls the [-] garrison in Beijing. Does he resign if he says resign?
The empress did not agree to Kou Shize, but asked, "Did Zhenmeng find the murderer yet?"

Kou Shize clenched his fists fiercely and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister wants to participate in the battle against Gu Fengtang, the chief of the Zhenmagic Division. If he is in his position and does nothing, otherwise the murderer would have been tracked down."

The empress nodded secretly: "I have just ascended the throne, and Gu Sizheng is too busy, maybe he has no time to take care of it. Besides this case, isn't the Jingzhou government still investigating?"

Jingzhou Mansion?
Kou Shize sneered in his heart, even Zhenmasi couldn't track it down, let alone the Jingzhou Mansion.

"The old minister has made up his mind, and I hope His Majesty will grant it." Kou Shize was determined to resign.

He knew very well in his heart that as the right servant of the Ministry of War, he had been suppressed by Pei Tong. Although he had [-] troops under his control, he had no power to mobilize at all.

He can mobilize only 3000 people.

3000 people are difficult to accomplish.

And sitting in the position of the right servant, and being guarded every day, it's too uncomfortable.

Why don't you take the initiative to resign and still retain your status as Marquis of Wu'an.

Gradually, he will be able to fade out of the sight of civil and military officials.

In this way, he can do more things.

Lu Ning's eyes flickered slightly, did Kou Shize want to protect himself wisely, or did he have another purpose?

The empress pondered for a long time and said: "I promise you for the time being, after registering with the Ministry of Officials, there will be a handover, and you don't have to go to court again."

"The old minister thanked Long En!"

Kou Shize hurriedly bowed, then turned and left Yongle Palace.

"You said, why did he resign?"

It was not until Kou Shize was far away from Yongle Palace that the empress asked slowly.

"Be wise and protect yourself."

"Maybe I don't want to assist His Majesty."

"It must be because he can't win against Qin Zhong, and he doesn't want to be an official in the same dynasty."

Bai Xue, Bai Wei, and Pei Tianbei said separately.

The empress looked at Lu Ning and said, "Chang'an, what do you say."

Lu Ning pondered and said: "Maybe he wants to downplay everyone's attention."

After hearing this, the empress smiled and said nothing.

……

Chengxuan Division.

Qin Zhong drank three cups of tea in a row, but he didn't see Cao Dachun say a word.

"Mr. Cao, this tea is almost stale. If you have anything to say, just say it." Qin Zhong stared at Cao Dachun with deep eyebrows.

After Cao Dachun coughed lightly, he said slowly, "Ever since he was named the Marquis of Zhongyong by the new emperor, Mr. Qin Ge has lost his patience."

Qin Zhong's old eyes flashed: "It's not that I'm impatient, but because I'm busy with business, I have to deal with it quickly, otherwise His Majesty will blame me, and I can't afford it!"

"Your Majesty, Zhongyonghou, I don't know if he thinks the same in his heart?" Cao Dachun said slowly.

Qin Zhong frowned: "What do you mean by Mr. Cao's words?"

Cao Dachun coughed lightly: "Since you have His Majesty in your heart, you should try your best to participate in the performance of Yongshan King. If you are not strong enough alone, then you should lead all the officials to participate in the performance, so that His Majesty must pay attention to it."

"Otherwise, when the Yongshan King's hard work is over and he breaks through Jingzhou, you, Old Qin Ge, will be the first to be killed."

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Qin Zhong's eyes. Before that, Cao Dachun was a person who fully supported Yongshan King. He didn't expect that he would change in just a few months.

The old eunuch was really unreliable.

"Thank you, Mr. Cao, to remind you, Your Majesty is wise and mighty, and has his own decision in his heart."

After speaking, Qin Zhong stood up and said in a deep voice, "If Mr. Cao has nothing else to do, I will take my leave."

"Cough cough...!"

Cao Dachun coughed lightly, and said slowly: "Our family wants to grow a Shayueye flower. I heard that Mr. Ge planted it. Can you give it to our family?"

Qin Zhong's old eyes froze slightly when he heard that, then he shook his head:

"What kind of sand moon night flower, I don't understand it, and I have never planted it."

Cao Dachun said slowly:

"You are always confused. Eight years ago, you told our family that the envoys of the Kingdom of Shaluo brought you three rare Shayueye flowers, which were among the flowers in your mansion. Why? We have to remind you you say?"

Qin Zhong shook his head with a sneer and said, "Mr. Cao is old and has a good memory. The flowers from eight years ago have already withered and died."

"Cao Gong wants it. It happens that the princess of Shaluo Kingdom lives in Honglu Temple. You can send someone to ask for one."

"The old man is busy with business, so I won't drink tea, so I leave!"

With that said, Qin Zhong strode towards Chengxuansiwai.

Cao Dachun got up slowly, stared at Qin Zhong's back, and coughed a few times.

Not long after, a figure slowly came out from the inner hall of the Chengxuan Department, it was Si Zheng Gu Fengtang.

Gu Fengtang also stared at the back of Qin Zhong leaving, until the latter disappeared completely, then he looked at Cao Dachun and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Cao."

Cao Dachun also smiled and said: "Master Si Zheng is being polite, I don't know what this Shayueye flower is that makes Master Si Zheng care so much?"

Gu Fengtang smiled and said: "It is a strange flower that only blooms on moonlit nights. It is said that the moon blooms and the sun fails, and the flowers bloom overnight. It can compete with the bright moon for brilliance, and its youth is endless. It is very magical."

Cao Dachun nodded and said in amazement, "I never thought there would be such a miraculous flower in this world."

"Eight years ago, our family heard Qin Zhong mention it once. At that time, we didn't pay attention to it. If we knew it was so magical, we should have taken a look."

Gu Fengtang didn't answer any more, and after a chuckle, he cupped his fists at Cao Dachun and walked out of Chengxuan Division quickly.

Cao Dachun walked to the entrance of the hall, and then watched Gu Fengtang go away quickly like the wind.

……

Marquis of Wu'an Mansion.

After Kou Shize registered and handed over at the Ministry of Officials, when he returned to the mansion, he ordered people to make preparations quickly, intending to set off on the same day and go to the Beimingxian School to seek medical treatment.

The old man surnamed Ji and Wei Ying did not expect that Kou Shize would resign as the right servant of the Ministry of War. Even if he could only mobilize 3000 troops, in the imperial city of Jingzhou, it would make all the civil and military officials fearful.

Now that there is no such third-rank official status, only the empty status of 'Marquis of Wu'an', who would care?
"Stop sighing!"

Kou Shize said coldly: "It's just a third-rank right servant, don't worry about it, without this official status, no one will care about me."

"By fading out of people's sight, this Marquis can make a difference."

Hearing this, the old man surnamed Ji and Wei Ying nodded secretly.

"Hurry up and get ready, leave Jingzhou first." Kou Shize waved his hand and said.

Without an official, you don't have to report to anyone where you want to go, you can just leave.

Wei Ying nodded and said: "Master Hou, my subordinates have been waiting in Guanshan for three days and three nights, but have not seen the old lunatic. I don't know if something happened."

Kou Shize's eyes flickered slightly: "The old lunatic is the tenth person on the list of combat power, and the only people who can kill him in this world are those on the list of heaven."

"If there is no deep hatred, the people on the Tianzi list will not easily kill the old lunatic."

"Maybe the old lunatic has other things to do."

Wei Ying nodded, then bowed and left.

The old man surnamed Ji raised his eyebrows and said: "Master Hou, are you still attacking the Lu family?"

A cold look flashed in Kou Shize's eyes: "With you alone, there is nothing you can do to help Lan Yunhui. Let's stop for a while and go to the Beiming Xian sect first."

His wife was seriously ill, even though she had been diagnosed and treated by the imperial doctor, there was no sign of improvement. If things go on like this, she doesn't know if she can survive this winter.

The old man surnamed Ji turned around to prepare.

Just after noon, a luxurious carriage and a dozen or so people left from the back door of Marquis Wu'an's Mansion and headed for the north gate of the city.

The news quickly reached the ears of the Empress.

The empress stared at the outside of the main hall, and the corner of her mouth lightly raised: "Bei Mang should get news soon."

When Kou Shize left Jingzhou, the person who most wanted to kill him was Bei Mang.

After all, in the Battle of Yunlu that year, Kou Shize killed Beimang's 40 iron stupas. Even in the past [-] years, Beimang still did not forget his hatred and vowed to kill Kou Shize to avenge the [-] iron stupas.

Lu Ning leaned close to the Empress' ear and whispered, "Your Majesty, do you want to get rid of him?"

The empress shook her head: "Kou Shize dared to leave Beijing and Zhou, he must have made a plan, everything is under his control, if you go after him, you will only fall into his trap."

I added a sentence in my heart: Let Bei Mang deal with it.

"Play chess with me." The empress turned around and said.

Lu Ning stared back at her back, and quickly followed her for a while.

The next day.

Winter Moon 27.

The empress summoned envoys from the five countries of the Western Regions in Chengtian Palace, accompanied by Qin Zhong and other civil and military officials.

The princess of the Shaluo Kingdom covered her face with a silk scarf, and her light blue eyes were beautiful. As for the language, it was the same as that of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Lu Ning could understand it.

Princess Shaluo's name is Luo Yuena.

She first met the Empress and praised the Empress, then she deeply regretted the death of Emperor Ming Wu, and finally presented some rare things such as purple coral trees and giant clams brought from the Shaluo Kingdom.

Then there was the prince of the Moyun Kingdom, wearing a golden coat with many braids on his head, which was somewhat similar to the Prince of Beimang, named Mo Heng.

The prince of the Huotuo Kingdom, wearing a fiery red robe, has an arrogant look on his face. Ever since he entered the Chengtian Palace, he hasn't looked at the Empress very much, and he only said a few simple words when he met.

The prince of the Star Wolf Kingdom went too far, extremely arrogant: "Is there no prince in the Great Zhou Dynasty? It seems that it is really declining day by day by letting a princess become the emperor."

Hearing this, all civil and military officials showed angry faces, and they all reprimanded Prince Star Wolf for being too arrogant.

The star wolf prince didn't care, and looked around everyone with wolf-like eyes: "Is this prince wrong? May I ask a princess to be the emperor, how can the Great Zhou Dynasty continue after a hundred years?"

"Will it be passed on to her son, or to someone else in the royal family?"

Everyone was stunned speechless.

This is indeed a big problem. They have thought about it a long time ago, but they didn't dare to speak up.

After Qin Zhong glanced at the Empress, he said in a deep voice: "This is a matter of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is not up to the Star Wolf Prince to care about it. The Star Wolf Prince should care about it. How the Star Wolf Kingdom can stop the barbarian invasion is a serious matter. "

Prince Star Wolf's face darkened when Qin Zhong said it, and then changed the subject.

He did not praise the empress, but on behalf of the Star Wolf Kingdom, he expressed deep regret for the passing away of Emperor Mingwu. A generation of wise and mighty emperors quietly left.

The last country is the Kingdom of Fire, the most difficult to attack among the countries in the Western Regions.

There are no princes or princesses in the Kingdom of Agni Fire, but a young envoy, looking at his age in his 30s, gives people a very gentle feeling.

Seeing Prince Star Wolf sitting down, he hurriedly got up. After complimenting the empress, he also expressed deep regret for the death of Emperor Mingwu on behalf of the Raging Fire Kingdom, and finally presented the rare treasures brought from the Raging Fire Kingdom.

The luncheon was held in Chengtian Hall, with singing and dancing and wine, the atmosphere was not bad.

Only the star wolf prince looked down on all civil and military officials with a look of disdain.

When the wine is half drunk.

Prince Star Wolf put down the gold bottle, raised his eyebrows to glance at the empress above, and said in a deep voice: "Empress of the Great Zhou, what's the point of this song and dance? the strength of the

"This time, I happened to come to Beijing and Zhou with the prince, why not let the prince open his eyes and use martial arts to help the fun."

The sound fell, only to hear a loud 'dong'.

Came from the gate of the main hall.

Everyone looked at the heavy voice, and their expressions couldn't help but change slightly.

……

……

　There are few updates, and the orders are over a thousand!According to the agreement, I owe everyone a change (4000 words).

　　I've been busy recently, and after I've been busy for a while, I'll make up for it on the basis of an update of [-].
