Peerless Headmaster

Chapter 1023 Zhou Kangnian's Dissatisfaction
"Your Majesty! Please take it back!"

Among the ministers, suddenly there was such a discordant voice.

Even when Lian Hongchen looked at the person who said this, all the officials turned their heads and looked sideways, wanting to see who was so courageous and dared to let the empress of Hongchen take back her life.

The man stood up from among the courtiers, with a somewhat indifferent look on his face.

When everyone saw this person, they all showed that it was him.

"Zhou Kangnian, why did you let me take back my life?" Lian Hongchen said indifferently.

Zhou Kangnian looks like he is in his 40s this week, his face is a bit rough, and his purple robe looks quite luxurious.

Everyone knew Zhou Kangnian's identity this time. He was the former deputy commander of the imperial army and the deputy of Marquis Wu Wen.

However, this person has always been at odds with Wu Wenhou, so when Wu Wenhou was in charge of the Imperial Army, he was basically emptied by Wu Wenhou, and he didn't have much to say. The imperial guard centurion is not as good.

Zhou Kangnian was oppressed by Marquis Wu Wen for many years, and it was always difficult for him to make an inch of progress in the position of deputy commander. He was completely desperate.

But not long ago, Wu Wenhou rebelled and rebelled. Zhou Kangnian did not follow Wu Wenhou in the rebellion, so he was not implicated in any way.

Now that Marquis Wu Wen has become a rebel and the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Forbidden Army is vacant, Zhou Kangnian, who is the deputy commander-in-chief, should of course be filled to become the Commander-in-Chief of the Forbidden Army.

Before going to the imperial court, Zhou Kangnian waited happily for the Shangguan in his heart, and some colleagues congratulated him in advance.

But who would have expected that Ning Heng would suddenly appear and become the new commander-in-chief of the imperial army, making Zhou Kangnian's dream a joke.

Zhou Kangnian's ability to stand up to Wu Wenhou's oppression for so many years without yielding to him shows that this person is not an ordinary person, nor is his temperament submissive.

Angry and wronged in his heart, Zhou Kangnian couldn't bear it and directly stood up to oppose Lian Hongchen's arrangement.

Although he knew that he might anger Lian Hongchen by standing up like this, Zhou Kangnian just couldn't suppress his anger.

He felt aggrieved. He had been suppressed by Marquis Wu Wen for more than ten years. After suffering for so long, he seemed to be on the verge of success. In the end, Ning Heng came down from the sky and took away the position that should belong to him.

Zhou Kangnian stood among the ministers and bowed towards Lian Hongchen: "Your Majesty, the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Army is of great importance, how can it be such a trifle? Even if it is about meritorious deeds, it should be clearly stated what merits the Marquis of the Protectorate can take on." This important task? If you can’t convince the ministers, please take your majesty back.”

"Your Majesty, I also think it's inappropriate." Another person stood up and said.

This person is quite old and a member of the Lian clan's royal family. He has been on good terms with Zhou Kangnian on weekdays, and at this time he also stood up to speak for Zhou Kangnian.

Ning Heng stood in the back silently. He didn't care much about the position of the commander-in-chief of the imperial army, but he really wanted to see how Lian Hongchen would deal with these two courtiers who dared to refute her in public.

In Ning Heng's view, being an emperor is similar to being a teacher. If someone under him blatantly disagrees with him, he will definitely feel uncomfortable.

If it is light, it will be reprimanded, and if it is serious, it will be executed directly.

Lian Hongchen glanced at the speaking member of the royal family, who bowed slightly, not making eye contact with Lian Hongchen.

"Zhou Kangnian, do you want to know what contribution Ning Heng made?" Lian Hongchen asked.

Zhou Kangnian said: "I want to know."

Lian Hongchen nodded: "Qing'er, you can tell the ministers."

Qing'er said yes, then walked up to the crowd, and said in a calm tone: "When the Huguohou was in the Northland, it happened that the Monster Race was attacking aggressively, and the North Land was not able to resist. At the time of Beishan Prefecture, the Huguohou used a scheme to lure out the Cangyu Demon Lord and the Sky Rhinoceros Demon Lord, killed the Cangyu Demon Lord with a single blow, and took the Sky Rhinoceros Demon Lord for his own use, and used the Sky Rhinoceros Demon Lord as his own. The internal response made the Yaozu internally discord. In the end, the Yaozu gave up attacking the Northland due to internal reasons. This is the contribution of the Huguohou. If there is no Huguohou's action, most of the territory of the Beidi will fall now. Yu Yaozu, such a credit, but I don’t know what Master Zhou thinks about it? Is he worthy of the position of commander of the imperial army?”

After Qing'er finished speaking, she bowed slightly to the officials, and then retreated to where she was standing.

Zhou Kangnian below was already pale, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

Not to mention him, all the courtiers present were horrified.

Two demon masters, one was killed by Ning Heng, and the other was controlled by Ning Heng, causing discord within the demon clan?Is this what Ning Heng did?

It has to be said that the officials were frightened. They didn't care much about Ning Heng's achievements in the Northland. It is impossible to have too much credit.

But now, after hearing what Qing'er said, the officials really understood the meaning of Lian Hongchen's words just now.

The so-called great contribution is not an exaggeration at all!
This is simply fighting against the entire monster clan with the power of one person!

Not to mention the position of commander-in-chief of the forbidden army, even a great general would not be an exaggeration.

"Zhou Qing, do you still think that Marquis Huguo can't afford the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Forbidden Army?" Lian Hongchen asked, looking directly at Zhou Kangnian.

Zhou Kangnian was speechless, and shook his head bitterly: "Your Majesty, it's my minister who underestimated the Marquis Huguo. I didn't expect the Marquis Huguo to do such a feat for the sake of Beidi. I am convinced."

With that said, Zhou Kangnian turned around and bowed to Ning Heng.

"Thank you Marquis Huguo for everything you have done for the Northland and the Great Spirit. Please be respected by Zhou."

Ning Heng didn't dare to be negligent, and clasped his fists in return: "Master Zhou is serious."

Zhou Kangnian didn't say much, and turned around again to pay homage to the Red Dust Empress.

"My minister contradicted His Majesty, please punish him."

Lian Hongchen smiled lightly and said, "You don't know the details, so you will naturally have objections. I won't blame you."

"Your Majesty is magnanimous, and my humble minister is ashamed."

Zhou Kangnian sighed, stood up and was about to return to the group of officials.

"Zhou Qing has served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army for many years, and he is conscientious and meticulous. I see it in my eyes. Now that the Marquis of the Protectorate is in charge of the Imperial Army, you don't have to stay in the Imperial Army and suffer. The position of Yu." Lian Hongchen said suddenly.

Zhou Kangnian suddenly raised his head, his face was full of astonishment, and then he was overjoyed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty! This humble minister has ordered me to thank you!"

Zhou Kangnian was so excited that he almost jumped up. All these years of hard work were finally in vain. Although he failed to make further progress in the imperial army, he was able to sit at the head of the Eastern Sea Administration, which was the dream of many courtiers. I want to go to a good location.

Ning Heng scratched his face, Secretary of the Sea?Could it be that the overseas islands in the east are also under the jurisdiction of the Great Spirit?
