This martial artist just wants to be an official

Chapter 437 They? Hehe

My uncle argued with others in the court.

The second prince looked at the chaos in the court helplessly.

The second prince at this time is no longer the rookie who first entered the court. Now he has not yet cultivated his own close forces in the court, so he can only take advantage of the situation.

It's nothing more than using my uncle's power to balance out Li Zhen and Prince Qing today.

Tomorrow I will use Prince Qing's power to balance the power of my uncle.

Anyway, he always acts dumb and looks real good.

Moreover, he had seen all the intrigues in the imperial court, and naturally knew that although Prince Qing and Li Zhen were close, they could not be too close.

This is all thanks to him having a good brother.

Although Song Yu of Kewusi was in Kewusi and could not participate in state affairs or fights in the court, when the two of them drank in private, the Second Prince still treated Song Yu as their previous relationship and did not sever his relationship with Song Yu after he ascended the throne.

Whenever they talked about the court, Song Yu would give him some comments.

Therefore, he also knew that he could not disturb the balance in the court at all.

If one family were allowed to dominate, then he, the Second Prince, would probably have to live under the shadow of a certain minister.

It's not that he doesn't have to fight if he doesn't want to. Human nature cannot stand the test.

"Tell me, what's wrong with a minister coming to my house to drink with me?"

My uncle glared at the official fiercely.

He could see that the official who reported him was just a dog released by Li Zhen, but this dog also had daydreams and wanted to rise to the top overnight with the support of Li Zhen.

Just a complete fool.

"Drinking? Haha, Lord Hai, do you really think we are all fools? It's not a festival, and there is no happy event, so why are we drinking at home? Besides, even if we want to drink, we should go to a restaurant. Why do we have to drink at home?"

"My wife is very strict and won't let me go out."

My uncle shrugged innocently.

"you!"

Seeing my uncle's rogue-like expression, the official blushed and didn't know how to respond.

Damn, I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen a fool who says he is henpecked in public.

Isn't this a fool? What is this?
Aren't you afraid of becoming the laughing stock of the entire Beijing officialdom? ?
What a shameless person!!

"Why aren't you talking?"

My uncle sneered and looked at the official and said:

"I can't tell what you're thinking? Do you really like being a dog to others?"

"You are a vulgar person, a vulgar person! I am a fourth-rank official in the imperial court. Even if I have to be a dog, I will do it for the people of Dayong and for our emperor!"

The official looked at my uncle with righteous words, and all he said was righteousness.

Ha ha.

My uncle sneered inwardly.

This group of self-proclaimed clean Donglin Party members, on the surface, are all righteous for the country, but secretly they are all thieves and prostitutes. He just raised his chin and glanced at him slowly:
"Everyone can speak human words, but they also have to do human things."

After saying that, my uncle slowly stepped out of the front row and returned to his seat.

The official was left with a look of bewilderment.

"Report!!! Good news from the border!!"

Suddenly a voice resounded throughout the hall.

When he heard this voice, my uncle's face flushed red.

If nothing unexpected happens, it will be another great victory news from his nephew.

After hearing the news, Li Zhen and Prince Qing both frowned.

The two of them could naturally guess that the good news coming at this critical juncture was most likely that the man named Lu had won another victory.

Lu Yuanzhi's victory is good for all the people, for His Majesty, and even for the enemy troops in Nanjiang.

But for the two of them, it was a very bad thing.

The two of them looked at each other secretly and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

"Come here quickly!!!"

Upon hearing the good news, the Second Emperor clapped his hands and laughed.

During this period of time, under the influence of Song Yu, his perception of Lu Yuanzhi changed greatly. He felt that Lu Yuanzhi was an invincible and martial arts genius!

If Lu Yuanzhi wasn't still at the border, he would have to pull Lu Yuanzhi over to have another drink.

The last time I drank with Lu Yuanzhi was the last time.

I don’t know when the next time will be.

"Marshal Lu Yuanzhi of the Northern Expedition killed the Demon King in Wangyou Mountain. He later joined forces with Princess Taiping and killed countless demon soldiers."

There is just this simple sentence on the good news.

Everyone who saw this sentence shuddered.

"Wha...what??"

My uncle was the first to react. He looked at the soldier with suspicion, feeling like he was dreaming.

The Demon King!!

This morning I was still worried about my nephew, a third-rank nephew, fighting against a first-rank demon king. Would his life be in danger? How come just two hours later, the demon king was killed? ? ?
After hearing this, my uncle was quite confused for a moment.

"Wangyoushan killed the Demon King??!!"

Li Zhen and Prince Qing were also stunned.

Then the two of them felt cold all over.

Damn!!
Is this a great achievement?? ! !
If we wait for him to return, then wouldn't it be... the end of us two? ?
You know, the two of them are fighting fiercely with Lu Yuanzhi's uncle and they are equally matched.

If Lu Yuanzhi came back at this critical moment, I'm afraid...

It won't be long before the two of us die without a burial place.

No, we have to think of a way. We can't let Lu Yuanzhi just return to the capital after the battle! !
The two of them thought about it for a long time, but couldn't think of any good solution for a while.

"So where is Lu Shuairen now?"

After the second prince was overjoyed, he looked at the messenger with a smile and asked.

"Your Majesty, Marshal Lu is waiting at the border now. The main force of the demon tribe has been lost. Now is a good opportunity to pursue the victory. If we can occupy the demon tribe's territory, it will be of great benefit to our Great Yong! ”

However, after hearing this, the second prince's eyes showed some regret.

After all, he wanted Lu Yuanzhi to come back as soon as possible to have a drink with him.

"General Lu has been fighting for many days. How can he suffer from the cold in the frontier? Why not summon him back?"

The Second Prince's voice was not loud, but everyone in the entire hall could hear it clearly.

The eldest uncle also agreed. He didn't want his nephew and son to go out of the border of Dayong and cause trouble for the demon tribe again.

I just hope they can come back soon. I miss them a little and hope they are healthy.

Second, with Lu Yuanzhi's return, he could join forces with Lu Yuanzhi to fight against Prince Qing and Li Zhen.

"I second the proposal."

When he said this, my uncle's position was very firm, and his voice was irresistible.

After hearing my uncle take the lead, dozens of officials, led by my uncle, also stood up:
"I second the proposal."

The Second Prince was about to issue an order to summon Lu Yuanzhi back to the capital.

After Li Zhen and Prince Qing looked at each other, he winked at him.

Prince Qing understood and slowly stood up: "Your Majesty, I have objections."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him straight.

My uncle's eyes were filled with anger.

Damn it, this thing always jumps out to contradict me in everything.

Just now it was Li Zhen’s men, and now Prince Qing is personally coming out to fight with him.

In fact, with my uncle's current temper, he wants to go up and slap this guy in the face to vent his anger.

But after all, Lu Yuanzhi was not in the court, and he had no bodyguards around him, so for safety reasons, my uncle rarely had direct conflicts with others in the court.

A gentleman uses his mouth, not his hands.

Of course, this is the reason why Lu Yuanzhi is not in the court. If he were, my uncle would definitely be the first one to rush up and fight with others.

"Oh? What objection does the uncle have?"

When the Second Prince saw Prince Qing jump out, a hint of doubt emerged in his heart.

He wanted to know what Prince Qing thought.

"Your Majesty, now that the demon tribe has been defeated, the remaining ones are not strong enough. This is a good opportunity to pursue the victory. If we can get half of the demon tribe's territory in the deep mountains, it will be a great resource for our Great Yong. In my opinion, it is not convenient to let General Lu return to the court at this time..."

At this point, Prince Qing glanced at his uncle, a hint of viciousness flashing in his eyes, and he slowly raised his head:
"I request that Lu Yuanzhi be granted the title of Duke of the Northern Kingdom! Let him lead his troops to station in the Monster Territory and build a new city! Expand the territory for our Great Yong, which will benefit us for ten thousand years! By then, Your Majesty will be recorded in history books as a saintly monarch who expanded the territory! A wise monarch!!"

At this point, Prince Qing's voice became more excited.

The Second Prince's blood was boiling as he sat on the dragon throne.

When I think about how I was able to achieve such great feats with the people when I first ascended the throne...

Then, in terms of my status in history books, I must be given the posthumous title of Emperor Wu, right?

Which emperor didn’t have great ambitions?
"Your Majesty, I beg to differ."

When my uncle heard what King Qing said, he became anxious.
Expand territory and station troops there? ?

If this is true, Lu Yuanzhi might not be able to return to the border for ten or eight years.

This was definitely not what the uncle wanted to see. He quickly bowed to the Second Prince:
"Your Majesty, the soldiers are exhausted, and the horses are tired from hundreds of battles. How can we pursue the victory? The demon tribe is no longer a force to be reckoned with, but if the Nanjing tribe takes advantage of the chaos and attacks at this time, what should our army do? Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

The uncle no longer cared about that. He just said whatever was unpleasant to hear and bowed to the ground:
"If the army is in chaos, what will Your Majesty do?!"

He had to choose a basin of cold water to wake the second prince up.

"Haha, Minister Hai is wrong. Marshal Lu killed the Demon King with his formation. His strength is beyond doubt. Let alone the tribes of Southern Xinjiang, even if the Buddha from the West came, I'm afraid he wouldn't be Marshal Lu's opponent. We have the Imperial Master in charge of the Great Yong, and Marshal Lu to intimidate the four directions. The country is peaceful and the people are safe. Your Majesty will surely become an eternal king!!!"

Prince Qing's voice was already extremely angry:
"And the officials in my court will surely use your majesty's fame to be promoted and passed down through the ages!!!"

The bewitching tone in the voice was enough to make the Second Prince feel guilty.

Even my uncle was somewhat tempted.

What do these officials want in the end?

Is it money?
Is it right?

Maybe both, but the most important thing is to be remembered in history and be praised by future generations as a great man! !

"Gudong."

At this time, many ministers swallowed their saliva, and they stood up and said to the Second Prince:

"Your Majesty deserves to be the eternal king!!!"

In a word, my uncle didn't know what to say.

After taking a deep breath, the uncle wanted to say something else, but he heard the second prince suddenly clapped his hands and said loudly:

"Then follow the uncle's advice and confer the title of Duke of the North to Lu Yuanzhi, the Great Yong's Northern Expedition Marshal! Thirty thousand households! The rest of the generals will be rewarded according to their merits!!!"

"Also! Issue an imperial decree, ordering Duke Lu Yuanzhi of the Northern Kingdom to pursue the victory and carry it out with all his might!"

hiss~
After hearing this, my uncle was speechless.

The king is serious and his words are sincere. The imperial edict has been issued. There is no point in saying anything now.

He just stared and looked at Li Zhen and Prince Qing fiercely.

At this time, Prince Qing and Li Zhen both breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

In their minds, Lu Yuanzhi no longer posed any threat to them.

This imperial decree would require him to stay at the border for at least ten years, or at least seven or eight years.

How could he take care of the court when he was so far away at the border?
Because of the situation in the court at that time, even if he led the troops back, he couldn't take care of so many things.

Thinking of this, the two looked at each other and smiled intriguingly.

"Retreat!!!"

Following the little eunuch's loud shout.

All the officials slowly retreated out of the hall.

The eldest uncle left the hall very quickly, and he didn't dare to slow down at this time. He was afraid that when he saw Li Zhen and Prince Qing, he would not be able to help but slap them both.

"Wait for me, Minister Hai!"

Sun Lianting followed behind his uncle, so he could naturally feel the unhappiness in his uncle's heart.

I wanted to go up and say a few words of comfort.

But the uncle was upset at this time and didn't want to listen to anything. He just looked at Sun Lianting calmly and said:

"Don't follow me."

After saying that, he got on the horse and drove: "Go home!!"

……

When my uncle returned home, he became angrier and angrier, but there was nothing he could do.

I could only hide in the study and feel depressed.

……

Lu Yuanzhi did not wait for a reply from the court, but led his troops out of Xuzhou directly.

The news that Lu Yuanzhi had slain the Demon King spread like wildfire to all parts of Dayong.

After hearing the news, the refugees who had fled to the border all cried for joy, and even every household erected a monument for Lu Yuanzhi.

Lu Yuanzhi left 100,000 troops in various provincial cities, and he led the remaining 100,000 troops towards Chongbei County.

When his troops arrived in Chongbei, there were a lot more people there than the last time he came with Hai Wuyang.

Although it is still not as lively as when I was in Chongbei with my uncle, it is much better.

"It's a good thing to have people."

Hai Wuyang looked at the few people on the street with a smile on his face.

He also had a share of the credit for slaying the Demon King this time.

"Gradually, more and more people will come, and by then this will no longer be a border."

Lu Yuanzhi laughed. He looked at the grassland in the distance, and a happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"Our real border is the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain."

"hehe."

When Hai Wuyang heard this, a hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

He studied Confucianism and Taoism, so naturally he had no resistance to the words "expanding territory". He hesitated for a moment, then looked at Lu Yuanzhi and said slowly:

"Aren't you afraid that the officials in the court will blame us for sending troops without permission?"

Lu Yuanzhi sneered:
"They wish I could never go back."

He hesitated:
"As long as it is possible, my uncle will suffer for a while."
