Thief Emperor

Chapter 669 Disarming
Previously, the three military governors gathered in the capital. At that time, except for Li Tong, the governor of Hedong, it was hard to say that the other two governors had no intention of occupying Guanzhong and becoming powerful officials of Wu Zhou, but in the end, no one was able to stay.

Even the most domineering Wei Quanzhong had to leave Guanzhong in the end, because at that time, no one wanted to be the one who stood out and became the target of public criticism.

Throughout history, the first person to come forward is likely to become a stepping stone for others, a stepping stone for them to ascend to heaven and establish a new dynasty.

Moreover, if others want to attack the first person who takes action, it will be legitimate for them to do so. They can use the name of the Wu Zhou Dynasty to suppress the rebellion, and by the time the rebellion is suppressed, they will have become stronger.

And now Li Yun is undoubtedly the person who has come forward.

But he was different from other Jiedushi. All other Jiedushi had their own sphere of influence and their own rear, but no one of them had built a systematic small court like Li Yun.

This means that Li Yun's combat effectiveness will be far stronger than that of other Jiedushi. Even if the war goes badly and some of his troops are lost, he can replenish them at any time.

"Li Yun..."

Pei Huang lowered his head and said, "I have been paying attention to this person. He is different from other Jiedushi. Among the other Jiedushi, Li Tong likes fame, Zhou Xu likes sex, and Wei Quanzhong and others all have their own hobbies, but this person Li Yun."

“There are hardly any major weaknesses.”

The emperor said calmly, "In early February, the Imperial City Bureau caused a commotion during his treasonous ceremony. Now, his bad reputation has spread everywhere. I am going to issue an imperial edict to announce to the world that this evil villain must be killed by everyone."

Pei Huang thought for a moment, then bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, I think the court does not need to intervene in this matter. After Li Yun takes over Jingxiang, he will soon enter the Central Plains. At this time, if the other Jiedushi have any ambitions, they will not sit idly by. Let them fight for it."

"The court was powerless to stop it, so it just stood by and watched."

Pei Huang paused and continued, "Also, Li Yun is a person who holds grudges..."

Hearing these words, even the current emperor's expression changed slightly.

Because there is no doubt that Li Yun is now definitely one of the most powerful warlords in the world, and he is one of the forces that is likely to threaten the imperial court. If Li Yun holds a grudge because of this incident, it will also be a threat to the emperor himself.

His Majesty the Emperor sighed and said, "If it weren't for this situation, the Imperial City Department wouldn't have done this. Now, it all depends on whether those Jiedushi are willing to contribute."

He looked at Pei Huang and whispered, "Sanlang, now there are evil villains like Li Yunwei Quanzhong outside, and treacherous villains like Liang Wen inside. I have almost no one left to use. Sanlang should still be in charge of the Imperial City Department."

Pei Huang took a deep breath and said, "Yes."

"I will do my best for your majesty and the Great Zhou!"

…………

Jinling, Palace of King Wu.

At this time, there were still no eunuchs in the palace.

Although a group of people have entered the process, it will still take quite some time before they can serve in the palace. After all, the Nine Officials also need to conduct a background check on their backgrounds.

Because there were not enough palace servants, the entire King Wu's Palace seemed empty except for the guards of the imperial guards. Even inside and outside Li Yun's study, there were few people. Only Li Yun was busy with some important documents.

In a few days, he will set off for Jingxiang.

It was not that he had to lead the troops into battle immediately, but he had to arrange the matter of rewarding the troops, especially the matter of distributing land to the soldiers, which he had to do personally.

This is called grace from above.

If he himself does not go, this matter cannot be done. No matter who goes, it will be a harm to his Li family's small court.

Even Li Zheng can't do it.

Just when Li Yun was busy with Jiangdong's affairs, there was a noise outside the door. Li frowned, put down the brush in his hand, stood up and stretched his body, then walked to the door, pushed it open and looked out.

At the door, a tall woman was stopped by several other maids, but she looked very stubborn and said, "I want to see the king, I want to see the king!"

At this time, Li Yun pushed open the door and walked out. Several women immediately stopped arguing, knelt on the ground, and saluted Li Yun. The woman looked up at Li Yun, bit her lip, lowered her head and knelt down: "Your Majesty."

The daughter of Fanyang Lu.

Li Yun looked at her, recognized her, and said calmly, "What's the matter? Why are you making such a fuss?"

She knelt on the ground, lowered her head and shed tears: "I...I have been in Jiangdong for too long, too long..."

"I heard that the king will leave in the next few days, and I want to come and see the king..."

She knelt on the ground, weeping, "I know I was wrong."

Li Yun glanced at her, was silent for a while, then put his hands behind his back and said, "Let's talk in the study."

Then he glanced at the maids and said calmly, "All gone."

Soon, the daughter of Fanyang Lu followed Li Yun into the study. After entering the study, Li Yun sat in the main seat, looked at her, and asked, "Did my wife embarrass you?"

The woman quickly shook her head: "The Queen... The Queen treats me very well."

She mustered up her courage, looked up at Li Yun, shed a few more tears, and said, "I didn't know why the king was angry with me at first, but later I found out that I knew I was wrong..."

She knelt gently on the ground, looked up at Li Yun, and choked up, "Please, Your Majesty..." "Don't ignore me."

Li Yun looked at her and smiled: "Did someone in Fanyang send you a letter?"

The Lu family girl quickly shook her head and wiped her tears: "After the New Year, I am already twenty years old, I...I..."

"We can't keep going like this."

She was previously sent to Li Garden. Li Yun ignored her, so she stayed in Li Garden. Later, when the Li family moved, she moved to Qian Garden. Recently, she moved to the palace.

Because Mr. Li was busy, he rarely saw her, which was a great blow to this originally arrogant daughter of a noble family.

Fortunately, except for Li Yun, other people in Jiangdong still attach great importance to family background. Xue Yun'er has always been good to her, so her life is pretty good.

It was still afternoon, and the sun shone through the window panes, hitting her face. Li Yun then took a closer look at her appearance, and with a slight thought in his mind, he asked, "What's your name?"

She lowered her head quickly and said, "My name is Yuzhen. The masters at home call me Zhenzhen, and the king calls me Zhenzhen."

"Lu Yuzhen..."

Li Yun smiled and said, "Such a name does seem to be chosen by a noble family."

"Get up."

She quickly stood up and bowed her head deeply: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Mr. Li became interested. He glanced at the documents on the table, filled in the last few strokes, then put down the brush in his hand and looked at Lu Yuzhen with a calm expression.

"Undress."

"what?"

Lu Yuzhen almost cried out in surprise, raised her head and looked at Li Yun, a little panicked: "Your Majesty, this... this..."

"what happened?"

Li Yun said calmly: "I'm very busy now and don't have time to visit you."

Lu Yuzhen lowered his head, his face red as blood: "Your Majesty, it's still daytime, this is your study..."

Li Yun waved at her, and Lu Yuzhen came forward with a red face and was pulled into Li Yun's arms. At this moment, her mind was blank and she only heard the frivolous voice of His Royal Highness the King of Wu.

"It's daytime."

As she screamed again, the belt fell off.

In the study, there was a burst of chirping sounds.

The next day, Lu Yuzhen was conferred the title of Lady Lu.

…………

In a blink of an eye, a few days passed and the important matters in Jiangdong had basically been dealt with. At this moment, Li Yun was meeting with Du He, the third son of the Du family.

After Du He saluted Li Yun, he sat down as Li Yun instructed. Li said without any nonsense, "I will leave for Jingxiang in three days. Minister Du, go on a business trip with me. Let's go to Jingxiang together."

Du He was responsible for the finances and grain of the entire Jiangdong, as well as some land planning. This was exactly what he should do.

Du He nodded his head and said with a smile, "Your Majesty has now ascended the throne, and you should change your title."

Li Yun shook his head and smiled: "It's not like he changed someone else. Besides, there are no outsiders in private."

"It's too strange to call yourself alone."

Du He coughed and said, "You'll get used to it as you go up slowly."

Li Yun still refused and said with a smile: "There is no rush now, let's talk about it after we take further steps."

"Okay, that's all. Go and prepare. Bring a few more people with you. When we get to Jingxiang, we'll divide the land."

Du He stood up, nodded his head and then backed away to say goodbye.

Li Yun did not see him off and began to look through the documents sent by Jiusi. Before he knew it, it was already dark and there was a knock on the door.

"Your Majesty, Madam Lu is here and said she has prepared some snacks for Your Majesty."

Li Yun was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly.

"Let her in."
