Sign In a Lu Bu Fengxian at the Beginning

The Office of the Minister of War.

The Marquis of Donghuang came and went suddenly.

It can be said that the Marquis of Donghuang came to the Ministry of War Shangshu Mansion without even sitting on the heat, and left in a hurry.

Watching the back of the Duke of Donghuang leaving, Li Yuan, Minister of War, shook his head helplessly.

How could Li Yuan not be able to hear the meaning of Donghuang Hou's words just now!

It's a pity that the Duke of Donghuang still doesn't understand that the current court is not the same as before.

The previous set is useless now.

The only way out is to gain His Majesty's trust.

If Your Majesty really wants to deal with the Marquis of Donghuang, even if all the civil and military officials plead for mercy, it will be useless.

Perhaps, this will backfire.

Let Your Majesty see your loyalty to Da Zhou, it is more useful than visiting their courtiers.

Hope Donghuang Hou can understand this truth!

Li Yuan thought to himself.

...

Royal Palace.

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

When the Duke of Donghuang entered Luoyang, Zhou Chen already knew about it.

As the emperor of Da Zhou, Luoyang is also the central capital of Da Zhou, what kind of news in Luoyang can be concealed from Zhou Chen, the emperor of Da Zhou!

What Zhou Chen didn't expect was that after returning to Luoyang, the Marquis of Donghuang didn't enter the palace for a while, but went to visit the Minister of War first.

Zhou Chen can naturally guess the intention of the East Desolate Marquis.

However, after Zhou Chen found out, he just sneered in his heart and didn't care.

Just after Zhou Chen had eaten, a factory guard came in to report; "Your Majesty, the Duke of Donghuang has returned to Luoyang, and he is now seeking to see him outside the palace."

"Oh!"

A hint of surprise flashed across Zhou Chen's face.

Didn't the Marquis of Donghuang go to the Ministry of War Shangshu Mansion?

Are you in the palace again?

"Marquis Xuandong Huang came in."

The Marquis of Donghuang entered the palace so quickly, it is estimated that he was reminded by the Minister of War!

Zhou Chen thought to himself, and said to the factory guard.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The inner servant factory guard bowed and retreated.

moment.

The Marquis of Donghuang walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation in a clutter-free manner, with a faint expression of worry and nervousness on his face.

"Chen Song Li, I have seen Your Majesty."

After Donghuang Hou walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he immediately knelt down and bowed to Zhou Chen on the dragon chair.

"I returned to Luoyang, but I did not immediately enter the palace to face the Holy Spirit. I also ask Your Majesty to forgive me."

The Marquis of Donghuang bowed his head to the ground and pleaded guilty.

After being reminded by the Minister of War, Donghuang Hou also reacted, realizing that he was confused and made a mistake.

Therefore, the Duke of Donghuang had to open his mouth to apologize first.

The Marquis of Donghuang knew that this was Luoyang, the center of Dazhou, and there was nothing to hide from the emperor on the dragon chair.

If you want to pretend that you haven't been to the Ministry of War, to fool and hide the person on the dragon chair, then you will undoubtedly end your life.

It is better to open up and plead guilty first, in this way, you can still make progress by retreating.

It has to be said that none of the people who can occupy a high position and take charge of the army at the border are simple.

Donghuang Hou is no exception.

This initiative to plead guilty, to retreat, to use it is just right.

After all, isn't it strange to ask the sinner first without hitting the smiling person?

Even if Zhou Chen, the emperor, was dissatisfied in his heart, for the sake of Donghuang Hou's initiative to plead guilty, he should not investigate it further.

If Zhou Chen digs deeper, it will appear that Zhou Chen, the emperor, is a little narrow-minded.

However, the emperor Zhou Chen was different from other emperors.

"Marquis Donghuang, how long has it been since you returned to court?"

Zhou Chen glanced at Donghuang Hou who was kneeling on the ground, and asked lightly, but he did not mean to let Donghuang Hou get up.

When the Marquis of Donghuang heard the words, his heart froze for a moment; "Report to Your Majesty, minister...I haven't returned to the court for several years to make a memorial."

Donghuang Hou's hesitant voice became much quieter in the end.

Obviously.

Donghuang Hou already understood the intention of Zhou Chen's question.

This is Zhou Chen's dissatisfaction that he, the Marquis of Donghuang, has not returned to the court for several years.

For a moment, Donghuang Hou felt a little flustered in his heart.

"If I remember correctly, I just met you Donghuang Hou twice when I was the prince."

"Since I ascended the throne, you have never returned to the court once to make a memorial."

"Even when I ascended the throne, you Donghuang Hou did not return to the court, but only sent a general to return to the court."

"Why, if I don't decree to call you back to the court to perform your duties, do you intend to stay in the east without returning to the court for the rest of your life?"

Zhou Chen calmly looked at Donghuang Hou, who was kneeling on the ground.

Although Zhou Chen's eyes were calm, Donghuang Hou felt as if he was being stared at by two sharp swords, causing the hairs on his whole body to stand erect.

[To tell the truth, recently I have been using Mimi to read and read books to keep up with updates, switch sources, and read aloud tones, which can be used by Android and Apple. 】

"My lord is guilty."

Donghuang Hou hurriedly pleaded guilty, and his heart sank.

Zhou Chen ignored Donghuang Hou's plea, and continued to say; "In charge of the hundreds of thousands of Donghuang army, stay away from the imperial court, if it were me, I would not want to return to the imperial court."

"There is so much freedom in Donghuang, no one can suppress you Donghuang Hou."

"How does it feel to be self-respecting with soldiers, Marquis of Donghuang?"

Zhou Chen's words seemed to be said inadvertently, and his voice was still so calm.

However, when Donghuang Hou heard this, his face suddenly turned pale.

It has been a taboo for emperors since ancient times.

Only now, the emperor has spoken out about such a taboo and placed it on the Duke of Donghuang.

How can Donghuang Hou not panic?

You know, for any emperor, the most intolerable thing is that the generals below are self-respecting...

"Your Majesty, I am guilty."

The Marquis of Donghuang slammed his head directly on the ground, his voice trembling.

In Donghuanghou's view, if he was identified by the emperor as being self-respecting for his troops, then his result would be only one word.

That is 'death'!

Let him be noble as the Marquis of Donghuang, with a high position and authority.

Let him guard the border for Da Zhou.

The emperor only needs one sentence to make everything disappear in the air and make him doomed forever...

But apart from plead guilty, Donghuang Hou didn't know how to defend himself.

Let's not say anything else, let's just say that this time the court is making an incident, he can't escape the suspicion of embracing the troops and being self-respecting.

As a marquis guarding the border, and in charge of an army of hundreds of thousands, he has not returned to the court for several years.

Even when the new emperor ascended the throne, the Duke of Donghuang did not come back. This is indeed something that no emperor can tolerate and accept.

In addition to the self-respect, what other explanation can this have?

The Duke of Donghuang bowed his head to the ground, panicking in his heart.

In Donghuang, the Marquis of Donghuang was all-powerful, he was a feudal official, and he kept his word.

But in this Hall of Mental Cultivation, the Duke of Donghuang is as humble as an ant.

The Marquis of Donghuang is very clear in his heart that the present court is not what it used to be, and it is not the same as before.

If the emperor wanted to deal with him, the Marquis of the Eastern Desolation, it would be easier than stepping on an ant to death.

Zhou Chen rested his right hand on the armrest of the dragon chair, looked at the Donghuang Hou who bowed his head and trembled uncomfortably, and said slowly; "Donghuang Hou has been sitting in Donghuang for many years, guarding one side for me, Da Zhou, and protecting the country and the people, why? Is there a sin?"

As soon as Zhou Chen's voice fell, the Duke of Donghuang seemed to have caught a life-saving straw, and said loudly; "Your Majesty, this minister does not dare to take credit. ."

When Donghuang Hou said this, he still did not dare to raise his head, bowed his head to the ground, and gritted his teeth and said, "But this minister has not returned to the court for several years, and the minister is guilty, and I hope Your Majesty will punish him."

"Punishment?"

"If I punish a meritorious minister, wouldn't it chill the hearts of frontier officers and officers in Da Zhou?"

"Come here, the Duke of Donghuang guards the border for me in Dazhou, protects the country and the people, and works hard. I want to give the Duke of Donghuang a glass of wine."

As soon as Zhou Chen said these words, the inner servant factory guard immediately brought a pot of wine, poured a glass, and put it in front of Donghuang Hou.

Donghuang Hou looked at the full wine glass in front of him, his face as pale as paper.

This glass of wine may be a fine wine in the palace.

But it could also be a glass of poisoned wine.

There was not a trace of blood on Donghuang Hou's face.

Although the emperor said that he was guarding the border for Da Zhou, the Duke of East Desolation had worked hard and made great achievements, and he wanted to give him a glass of wine.

But no matter how Donghuang Hou heard it, he felt that this was the emperor's irony.

This glass of wine is likely to be a glass of poisoned wine bestowed by the emperor.

Zhou Chen sat on the throne of the dragon chair, saw Donghuanghou's reaction in his eyes, and said calmly; "Donghuanghou, this is the wine that I specially prepared for you, others, I can't bear it."

"I would like to thank your Majesty Long En."

Donghuang Hou felt a bit of bitterness in his heart.

He knew that returning to the DPRK this time was a blessing in disguise.

But Donghuang Hou still has great expectations.

Because, the Marquis of Donghuang had just killed the Dongyi aliens with a large army. At this juncture, the emperor should not be likely to use him as the Marquis of Donghuang.

But now it seems that it is him, the East Desolate Hou, who thinks things too ideally.

Donghuang Hou took a deep breath, raised his glass, and drank it without hesitation.

Regardless of whether this glass of wine is poisonous or not, the Duke of Donghuang has no choice.

If he dared not to drink this glass of wine, then he probably wouldn't even be able to keep the whole body.

The wine entered his throat, but Donghuang Hou could not feel the taste of any wine, and his mind was blank.

Donghuang Hou is waiting.

Waiting for the moment of poison.

Waiting for the moment of cramping in the stomach.

But after drinking the fine wine, Duke Donghuang didn't feel any cramps in his stomach.

This made Donghuang Hou couldn't help but think, is this poisonous wine chronic?

After a while.

Donghuang Hou only reacted.

He is not dead.

It's not poisonous wine.

The poisoned wine bestowed by the emperor cannot be chronic.

If the emperor's royal gift was poisoned wine, the moment he drank it, he would immediately die from the poison.

Just when Donghuang Hou figured this out, Zhou Chen's flat voice already sounded in Donghuang Hou's ears; "This is my reward for you to lead an army to destroy Dongyi."

"You, Duke of Donghuang, led the army to wipe out Dongyi for Da Zhou. You deserve credit for this."

"But you Donghuang Hougui is a marquis, and you are in charge of the Donghuang Army. It can be said that you are already in a high position."

"Whether it's power, rank, or gold and silver, you should have no shortage of Donghuang Hou."

"So, after thinking about it, I think it's appropriate to reward you with a glass of imperial wine."

"Marquis Donghuang, you shouldn't think I'm stingy!"

Zhou Chen looked at Marquis Donghuang and said indifferently.

When Donghuang Hou heard this, he almost cried with joy.

Originally, the Marquis of Donghuang was ready to die, but unexpectedly, it turned a corner in the end.

This made Donghuang Hou feel like the rest of his life.

The Duke of Donghuang immediately bowed his head and said, "I dare not."

"I thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

Donghuang Hou is not stupid.

Although the emperor said it nicely, the Marquis of Donghuang knew that he really walked through the gate of hell.

This was the emperor's warning to him.

It was also the emperor's beating of his East Desolate Marquis.

The emperor just wanted to tell him, the Marquis of the Eastern Wilderness, that everything you have is given by the emperor, the emperor can give you everything, and he can take everything back from you.

even your life.

"Marquis Donghuang, I hope you will remember this glass of wine that I have rewarded you, and don't let me down."

"In the future, if you let me down, I won't give you a glass of wine like this."

Zhou Chen looked at Donghuang Hou who was bowing his head to the ground and said.

This is Zhou Chen's beating of the Duke of Donghuang.

He wanted to let the Marquis of Donghuang understand that the monarch is the monarch and the minister is the minister.

Even if you are in a high position, in the eyes of the emperor, as long as you have a will, you can disappear into thin air, and everything will disappear.

"I understand."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best for Da Zhou in the future."

The Marquis of Donghuang immediately said loyally.

Donghuang Hou couldn't understand Zhou Chen's meaning.

In the past, the emperor can let go of the past.

But in the future, if he, the East Desolate Marquis, does anything more, then the reward may really be a glass of poisonous wine.

"Get up!"

Zhou Chen glanced at Donghuang Hou indifferently.

The Marquis of Donghuang is different from Marquis of Zhenbei and Marquis of Xiliang.

Although the Duke of Donghuang did not return to the court~www.wuxiahere.com~, he did not dare to directly resist the decree and collude with other races like the Duke of Zhenbei and the Duke of Xiliang.

Moreover, the Duke of Donghuang previously guarded Dongyan Pass to resist the attack of the Dongyi army.

Then, the Marquis of Donghuang took the army to destroy Dongyi, and also actively cooperated with the imperial household to measure and count the land.

These are the reasons why Donghuang Hou is still alive.

If the Duke of Donghuang hadn't resisted the decree like the Duke of Zhenbei and the Duke of Xiliang, and colluded with aliens, these life-saving straws would have been there.

Zhou Chen had already won the Marquis of Donghuang.

It is impossible to keep Donghuang Hou until now.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Donghuang Hou cautiously stood up.

Up to now, Donghuang Hou's face was still a little pale, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead.

Just now, Zhou Chen, the emperor's glass of wine, was very frightened by the Hou Donghuang.

Until now, Donghuang Hou still has lingering fears.

It's not that the Marquis of Donghuang is timid, but facing the coming of death, no one can not panic and be afraid, and be calm.

Even a marquis like Donghuang Hou is no exception.

However, it was a false alarm.

The Marquis of Donghuang knew that from this moment on, the Marquis of Donghuang had passed the test.

You don't have to worry about anything anymore.

The misfortune of returning to Luoyang this time was unpredictable, and the word misfortune was also removed.

To be safe and sound is a blessing.

"Tell me about Donghuang!"

After Donghuang Hou stood up, Zhou Chen glanced at Donghuang Hou and said.

When Donghuang Hou heard the words, he immediately bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Immediately, Hou Donghuang began to report everything about Donghuang to Zhou Chen little by little.

The Marquis of Donghuang knew that now was the time for him to gain the emperor's trust.

Therefore, whether it is the people's livelihood or the Donghuang Army, Donghuang Hou is reporting everything in detail.
