Chapter 87 Retire

Then I saw Jia Nanfeng’s ugly face...

The face was covered with white powder and red rouge.

"Ah ah ah ghost......"

Lu Yan made a fist with his right hand and punched the ugly face.

Lu Yan has profound skills. Even if he does not use his internal power, the physical power alone is not something ordinary people can accept.

Accompanied by a scream.

Jia Nanfeng flew out and hit a pillar.

"Oh, I have such a beautiful face..."

"My waist will be broken too..."

"Your Majesty, why are you so cruel? I am Nanfeng, not a ghost..."

Lu Yan stood up, looked at his fists, and then at Jia Nanfeng who was lying on the ground.

"south wind?"

Several nuns hurriedly helped the queen up.

Then everyone knelt down.

"Greetings to the Emperor..."

Jia Nanfeng also knelt on the ground, raised his head, crawled towards Lu Yan, and said with a painful look on his face: "She is my concubine. Your Majesty, please take a closer look."

Jia Nanfeng put his ugly face up again.

Lu Yan took two steps back.

"That's enough, that's enough. I recognize it. Everyone, please get up."

Jananfeng felt a little wronged as he touched his swollen face.

"Your Majesty, why are you at Changchun Palace?"

Lu Yan coughed twice, looked at Diao Chan and Wang Zhaojun, then turned to look at the situation on the bed.

Know that the secrets of the universe have not been discovered.

He said: "There was an assassination last night and the Yangxin Palace was destroyed. I will come to stay at Concubine Diaochan's place."

The Queen belongs to Wu Meiniang's influence. For the safety of Diao Chan and others, Lu Yan still has to deceive her.

The secret of the universe is not yet open to the public.

Without waiting for Jia Nanfeng's reply, Lu Yan said, "The queen is not staying in Kunning Palace, so why did she come to Changchun Palace?"

Jia Nanfeng covered his mouth with a handkerchief and hesitated, saying nothing.

At this time, Diao Chan's maid came in with a basin of warm water and placed it on the table for Lu Yan to wash up.

Diao Chan stretched out her hand to test the water temperature, then soaked the towel in the water, wring it half dry, and then started to help Lu Yan wash up.

Aunt Rong, who was behind Jia Nanfeng, stood up and scolded: "Bold Diao Chan, the Queen is here, is it your turn to serve the Emperor?"

Jia Nanfeng knew what Nanny Rong meant, so he hurriedly stepped forward to grab Diao Chan's towel and wiped it with Lu Yan.

Lu Yan sighed helplessly, looking at the villain Rong, he just wanted to flush her into the sewer.

Diao Chan also showed a hint of displeasure in her eyes.

She walked to the basin and put her hand in. A strong internal force came out, and the water temperature suddenly reached sixty or seventy degrees.

Lu Yan sensed it immediately.

Diao Chan and Lu Yan looked at each other, stuck out their tongues playfully, and stood aside.

Jia Nanfeng finished wiping Lu Yan's left hand and then wiped his right hand.

I used one towel to wipe my hands and another to wipe my face.

Seeing that Grandma Rong had finished wiping her hands, she walked to the wooden basin, picked up the towel hanging on the wooden basin, and dipped it into the water.

Immediately afterwards, her whole body reflexively jumped up on the spot.

"Ah...it's so hot..."

Lu Yan looked a little impatient at Aunt Rong's rude behavior.

Jia Nanfeng saw it immediately and scolded: "How indecent is it to make such a fuss... Where is the water hot?"

"A 89-year-old girl can touch it, but you can't?"

Jia Nanfeng looked at the towel in the basin and reached in to grab it.

"Mom, no, this water is very hot..."

Jia Nanfeng didn't listen to the advice, and then jumped up like Grandma Rong.

"Oh, Diao Chan, you little girl, how dare you lie to me..."

Looking at the two screaming, Lu Yan's body exuded the majesty of the king.

"enough……"

"I don't have time to fool around with you..."

Everyone knelt down.

"As the master of the harem, if you come to Changchun Palace to stir up trouble, then I don't mind changing to another queen..."

Lu Yan meant what he said.

He had already offended the Queen Mother Wu Meiniang, so there was no need to give the Queen a good look.

If Diao Chan or Wang Zhaojun could be arranged to be the queen, it would be a great help to him.

When Jia Nanfeng heard Lu Yan's words, he was so frightened that he became speechless.

"Chen and concubine dare not."

"The concubine just came to Changchun Palace, just to hang out and see my sisters."

"I will go back to Kunning Palace now. Your Majesty, don't be angry or hurt the dragon's body."

Jia Nanfeng came in high spirits and went back with a depressed face.

Diao Chan looked at Jia Nanfeng's back and gave Wang Zhaojun a high-five in victory.

Looking at the lively girls, Lu Yan shook his head.

He wiped his face with a towel, rinsed his mouth with water, and left Changchun Palace.

Now, it’s already time for morning service...

Above the court, the officials were neatly arranged in four rows.

It's morning time.

But there was no sign of the emperor.

Next to the dragon chair, there was only Zhao Gao.

All the officials waited quietly, when suddenly the golden curtain was lifted, and Xiao Chunzi came out.

Only him.

Someone couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Chunzi, aren't you serving His Majesty? Where are His Majesty's people?"

Xiaochunzi lowered his head and said respectfully: "Someone attacked the Yangxin Palace at night last night. Your Majesty stayed at the Changchun Palace for one night. It was a bit late coming from there. Please wait a little longer."

When the officials heard this, they started discussing in a low voice.

"Someone dares to attack the palace. Who is so bold?"

"Brother, you are too closed-minded about the news. Don't you even know about His Majesty's attack last night?"

"I don't have any spies in the palace. How do I know? Which one of you can tell me?"

"Of course it's a trap... Zhao Gao..."

"Wancao, don't bluff me because I'm old. The swordsmen in Luowen are all top killers. Their assassinations have almost never failed. Isn't His Majesty already dead?"

"Shhh, brother, please keep your voice down. How can His Majesty die so easily? His Majesty's real strength is extremely strong...Last night, Luo Yu was killed and no trace of armor was left. Only Zhao Gao was left..."

"Brother, where did you get the news? Your Majesty is obviously the reincarnation of the Dragon King. He showed his true form last night and ate all the Snare Killers in one bite."

"Ni Ma... You are so exaggerated that my jaw will drop. Look at Zhao Gao, how calm he is..."

"Yes, why is he so calm? Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will cause trouble for him?"

Baiguan described what happened last night in a gaudy way.

People who really know the truth stand there quietly.

For example, Tiedan Shenhou, he was ready to fight Zhao Gao.

He just waited for Lu Yan to give him an order and a reason to take action.

Then he pretended to be defeated by Zhao Gao and lured Lu Yan into taking action...

He now wants to find out whether Lu Yan is an extremely powerful person.

If so, he must pay attention to it. Maybe one day an imperial edict will be issued and he will end up like He Shen...

Everyone waited for a while, only to hear someone shouting in the distance: "The Emperor has arrived..."

Then the golden curtain was lifted, and Lu Yan, wearing a black dragon robe and holding a sword in his hand, stepped onto the dragon chair with great energy.

The officials hurriedly knelt down and shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live..." Lu Yan looked at the neat officials and nodded with a smile.

"My dearest friends..."

"Long live thanks..."

After the officials stood up, before they could make any move, Lu Yan said to Zhao Gao: "Zhao Gao, pour me a cup of tea..."

Lu Yan took the Snare Killer's sword and ordered Zhao Gao to do things for him, and the officials discussed in a low voice.

"Shocking Salamander Sword? Is Your Majesty really the most powerful person?"

"Sure, otherwise, why would Oboi be so obedient..."

"Your Majesty's posture with the sword is so handsome. I want my little girl to go to the talent show..."

"It's a good show. I bet your majesty can kill Zhao Gao this time."

Most people have the mentality of watching a good show.

Zhao Gao did not go to pour tea, but plopped and knelt on the ground.

"My lord is guilty..."

Lu Yan frowned, what the hell was going on.

Do not confess?

"Oh, tell me what crime you are guilty of?"

"I am guilty of lax discipline."

Lu Yan didn't reply to him, but gave Xiao Chunzi a look and asked him to pour tea.

Zhao Gao continued: "Luowang was originally the intelligence agency of the late emperor. As the leader of Luowang, I did not properly discipline my subordinates, which made them want to rebel and endanger the emperor's safety. I am terrified..."

Looking at Zhao Gao, whose acting skills were pretty good, Lu Yan couldn't help but laugh.

"What a crime of lax discipline, the assassination of me by the snare killer was not ordered by you behind the scenes?"

Zhao Gaoquan made some speeches, and said: "I really don't know about it, but the matter has come to light this morning."

"There is a capable person in Luowang, named Black and White Xuanjian, this person is extremely powerful, and he is about to break through and become a top expert..."

"That's why I didn't take my minister seriously, and secretly led an assassin to assassinate His Majesty, committing a capital crime of treason..."

"I have sent net experts to search for this person throughout the capital. Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely arrest him and bring him to justice..."

"Your Majesty, please allow me to take the blame and perform meritorious service..."

Lu Yan frowned. .

Zhao Gao is indeed a ruthless character.

An understatement turned the charge of assassination into the crime of lax discipline.

He also foiled Lu Yan's alienation plan.

On the surface, Zhao Gaoming wanted to capture Black and White Xuanjian, but in fact he wanted to distance himself from Black and White Xuanjian.

This gives him a buffer.

If Black and White Xuanjian really betrayed Luo Wang, he would just fake it and arrest him for assassinating the emperor.

If Black and White Xuanjian was loyal, he would have hidden this useful chess piece in the dark.

If future assassination missions are completed by Black and White Xuanjian, the fire will not be drawn to Zhao Gao himself.

Lu Yan had to admire Zhao Gao, there was nothing wrong with what he said.

And Lu Yan had no evidence to prove that he was the mastermind behind it.

If you want to punish someone, you can only punish a small crime such as lax discipline, which is of no use.

Only after arresting Black and White Xuanjian can we come to a conclusion.

"I'm giving you this opportunity to plead guilty and make meritorious service. Tell me, how long will it take to catch Black and White Xuanjian?"

Lu Yan would not let his plan succeed and put pressure on him immediately.

"Within five days, I will definitely capture this officer for Your Majesty...so that His Majesty can vent his hatred..."

Lu Yan squinted his eyes and looked at Zhao Gao.

This guy actually dared to issue a military order. Did he really intend to kill Black and White Xuanjian?
Lu Yan was too lazy to think too much. Anyway, with his current skills, few people were his opponents.

If another system mission is triggered, he will directly become an extremely powerful person...

At that time, both Tiedan Shenhou and Zhao Gao will be nothing more than chess pieces in his hands.

Five days was also Lu Yan's buffer time.

"Okay... I will give you five days. If I can't see Black and White Xuanjian after five days, I will do it for you..."

Zhao Gao kowtowed and said, "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty... Zhao Gao will certainly live up to His Majesty's trust..."

Zhao Gao stood up and stepped aside.

At this time, Lord Tietan came out.

"I have something to announce..."

Lu Yan licked his lips. The [-] million taels of silver should be available.

"Tell me, you three worked hard yesterday."

The Lord Tiedan took out a piece of cloth and read to it: "The Lord Tiedan, the Governor of Dongchang Cao Zhengchun, and the Minister of Gu Ming Ao Bai all participated in the house raid of the Minister of Household Affairs, and a total of gold was found in the Minister's Mansion. Silver jewelry and valuable items are worth a total of [-] million taels of silver... At present, less than half has been transported to the national treasury, and it will probably all be put into storage tonight."

As soon as the [-] million taels of silver came out of the mouth of the Tiedan Shenhou, all the officials in the court were in an uproar...

"Your Majesty is really a miraculous strategist. Eight hundred million has been predicted..."

"I have long said that He Shen is not a good person, but I didn't expect him to be such a corrupt official..."

"What a misfortune it is for me, Great Xia. Fortunately, His Majesty is wise and mighty. Your Majesty is really a good emperor who serves the country and the people..."

Lu Yan did not feel comfortable with the flattery from these people, but felt embarrassed.

After all the officials calmed down, Tiedan Shenhou continued: "We also found Heshen's stolen money in the southern suburbs of the city, a total of 80 taels of gold ingots..."

The officials cursed He Shen again.

Then, Lord Tietan's tone lowered.

"During the attack on Shangshu Mansion, He Shen's son Feng Shen resisted with all his strength and caused thunder to fall from the sky. Our Hulong Villa lost 200 soldiers..."

"The East Factory lost 500 Jinyiwei people..."

"Minister Gu Ming, Oboi's South Camp, lost more than 600 elite soldiers."

"I have finished my performance..."

After hearing what the Shenhou said, some of the officials cried.

First one, then a group.

"The lives of 1100 people, alas..."

"He Shen is really damned..."

"Fortunately, Shenhou led the team, otherwise we might not have been able to win it."

"In the end, His Majesty was wise and chose Shenhou to lead the team."

Lu Yan felt a little uncomfortable after so many people died.

Although these people are their strength, they are also their own people.

"The imperial court has money now, so give their families a good compensation."

The deceased is gone, so of course we cannot break the heart of the injured.

Tiedan Shenhou cupped his hands and said: "I thank Your Majesty on behalf of these soldiers..."

Lu Yan nodded.

"The three of you have completed the house raid and deserve a big reward..."

"I don't have anything valuable, so I will reward each of you with 1 taels of gold."

At this time, Yang Yongxin, the Minister of Punishment, stood up.

Lu Yan's eyes widened.

Is this guy alive?

Qingying's news is wrong?
No wonder no one complained to me...

Li Er and Lu Bu, who saw Yang Yongxin's body with their own eyes, also looked surprised.

They planned to tell Lu Yan about what happened in Chengnan later.

Now, I don’t know what to say anymore.

Yang Yongxin cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, did I make some merit by letting He Shen reveal the location of the gold?"

Lu Yan nodded: "I will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins..."

"Thank you for your grace..."

After Yang Yongxin showed his face, he returned to the hundred officials.

Lu Yan continued: "Where is Ding Guiyan?"
