To carry out these tasks, you must have a strong army on hand, otherwise the princes, relatives of the emperor, and the powerful ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty will take the opportunity to sideline Jiang Linglong. After all, there has been a natural relationship between monarchs and ministers since ancient times. Opposite contradictions.

Jiang Linglong has little experience and is not good at the emperor's balancing technique. Once she is not handled well, it may trigger a crisis in the Great Zhouxin. But behind Jiang Linglong, if there is an elite Black Tiger Army that is known all over the world, then Jiang Linglong Her words had enough weight that no one dared to secretly oppose her.

Furthermore, Jiang Linglong’s enthronement ceremony will be celebrated by the whole world, and she will grant amnesty to the whole world. On that day, assassins are likely to take action. Jiang Linglong's foundation is now unstable, and she needs a loyal bodyguard who is worthy of her life. His Black Tiger Army will do these things.

More importantly, Jiang Linglong once inadvertently revealed to him that she planned to carry out unprecedented reforms in Dazhou according to Cangyun County's template and Lu Yuan's ideas, such as abolishing the privileges of the royal family first. For this reason alone, Jiang Linglong will arouse opposition from the emperor's relatives. It is not ruled out that extreme tribesmen may assassinate her, or even create new turmoil and establish a new emperor.

Commander Zhao once heard Gu Changfeng mention something about the situation of the Zhou royal family. The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty has hundreds of thousands of people, including direct royal clan members, collateral royal clan members, clan members whose ancestors served as princes, and new clan forces that have emerged in recent decades.

All in all, it is actually the largest force in Dazhou. They took advantage of the various royal privileges to monopolize the commerce, agriculture and industry of the Zhou Dynasty, and gathered huge wealth in their hands.

If Jiang Linglong carries out major reforms in the Great Zhou Dynasty, then those with vested interests among the royal family members will definitely fight back crazily. It would be too naive to think that these people, all with the same surname Jiang, the same ancestors and the same blood flowing in their bodies, would not kill Jiang Linglong.

Take Su Quan's attempt to usurp the throne as an example. There are many royal forces who colluded with Su Quan behind the scenes. When Jiang Linglong regained Yizhou, she also discovered that some noble families were inextricably linked to several princes in the royal family.

Even though Jiang Linglong has basically regained Yizhou, deep down in their hearts, they still do not recognize Jiang Linglong and do not support her wholeheartedly. Instead, they have to wait for the big shots from the royal family to speak and send instructions before they outwardly express their submission to Jiang Linglong. meaning. These phenomena can all reflect the complexity of the power struggle within the Zhou royal family. If Jiang Linglong didn't have elite soldiers and generals around him, he would naturally not be a match for the Zhou royal family and would only be controlled by others.

Finally, and most importantly. Su Quan secretly colluded with other countries and betrayed the interests of the Great Zhou Dynasty. In the battle of Youzhou, the Haige Restaurant and Qingshiyuan Restaurant supported by the Chu State and the Yue State respectively supported the Nether Sect financially and besieged the Shura Palace. Chu and Yue actually sent hundreds of thousands of troops to reinforce Su Quan and together they encircled and suppressed the Black Tiger Army.

These blood debts will need to be paid off one by one in the future, so the importance of the Black Tiger Army is even more self-evident.

"I thank you, Commander Zhao." Jiang Linglong has forgotten how many times she has said thank you, "The Black Tiger Army is brave and good at fighting. Along the way, they followed me on expeditions from east to west. They were not afraid of life and death and made great achievements in battle. When the enthronement ceremony is over, I will reward you heavily." Jiang Linglong praised.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to thank you. These are the arrangements of the young master. The young master has given instructions and asked us to help you restore the country. All of us will absolutely implement his instructions." Commander Zhao replied loudly. He and the brothers of the Black Tiger Army did not care about Jiang Linglong's reward, but because of Lu Yuan's order. Lu Yuan asked them to help Jiang Linglong and protect Jiang Linglong, and they would implement it to the letter. "Your Majesty, you should be happy, everyone is watching you." At this time, Marquis Langya stood respectfully beside Jiang Linglong and made a small suggestion. It is the moment when the world returns to its center, and Jiang Linglong should show the elegance of an emperor. But Jiang Linglong's mood throughout the whole process, although she could tell she was excited, was not happy, but rather worried.

"Well, I'm thinking about Mr. Lu. I haven't heard from him for ten days and ten nights. How can I be happy?" Jiang Linglong, who has now become the real emperor of Zhou Dynasty, can only helplessly call Lu Yuanwei in public. "Master Lu" can no longer use the title "brother-in-law". The four ladies of Ning Youruo have just established their authority for her. From now on, she will have to act like an emperor in front of her subordinates and subjects.

If she still calls Lu Yuan "brother-in-law", then her majesty as emperor will completely disappear and people will look down upon her. Even if she does something wrong in the future, the majesty of the emperor must not be lost. This is more important to an emperor than life.

However, as soon as she said this, Lu Yuan's four wives spoke to comfort her.

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, there has been a saying in the underworld that 'no strangers should enter, for those who enter will not be able to return'. My husband is going to the underworld and may not be able to come back for a while. We estimate that your return time will be based on years. Suggestions Your Majesty, you should do your best and don't put too much energy on your husband," Ning Youruo advised.

Shen Shiyu said: "Your Majesty still remembers that my husband said that Su Quan forcibly absorbed the fate of the country and the people to help him survive the last punishment of the Heavenly Thunder God. Although he successfully promoted to the realm of land gods, he could only maintain a certain level. Years, no matter what, he cannot be my husband's opponent. In addition, my father has been promoted to the Land of Gods and went to rescue him personally. I believe that my husband will come back safely. "

Xiao Xuewei also said: "Your Majesty, next, prepare to regain the imperial capital, eliminate the remnants of the Blood God Sect in the Great Zhou Dynasty, then reward according to merit, and prepare for the enthronement ceremony with all your strength."

"Okay then, I will listen to you and return to the Imperial Capital first." Jiang Linglong nodded and asked: "Four ladies, what about you? Come back to the Imperial Capital with me. I invite you to stay in the palace and enjoy the palace feast. "

Jiuyou shook his head and said: "Thank you for your kindness. After discussing it just now, we decided to stay together and arrange a complex immortal formation in the cave to ensure that Dugu Aoyun can be trapped while waiting for my husband to return."

"I really want to stay with you and wait for Mr. Lu, but I listen to you. The people of Zhou Dynasty and the princes and ministers of the imperial capital are all waiting for me to ascend the throne. I will come back after I have handled the matters in the imperial capital. You guys come together." Jiang Linglong said with emotion.

"Yes, Your Majesty, everyone is waiting for you." Jiuyou, who had been silent for a long time, also advised Jiang Linglong to complete her duties as emperor first. The time for Lu Yuan's return is not certain. It could be one year or two, ten years, a hundred years, or a thousand years. However, Da Zhou could no longer afford to wait. Jiang Linglong had to go back. Staying would be detrimental to the world. (End of chapter)
