After 10 years of sharpening my sword, I can finally wave

You must know that there are two levels of difficulty for a person in the capital and for a person outside the capital.

Unless there are enough bargaining chips, it is impossible for the Manichaeists to take such a big risk to assassinate a heavenly-level court official in the capital.And this level of bargaining chip, not to mention Jiang Haitian, even he, the Tongzhi of the Guard Division, also couldn't get it out.

For a while, Wu Duxiong couldn't help but have a headache.

You know, not long ago, he made a solemn promise to the emperor.Within a month, I will definitely give the emperor a satisfactory explanation.

And now, Lu Jiuzhong has returned to Beijing.Without bait, what would he use to catch the Manicheans?

How to give the emperor a satisfactory explanation!

Not to mention Wu Duxiong whose complexion changed because of the servant's report.

On the other side, when the Son of Heaven heard that Lu Jiuzhong had returned, a trace of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

After all, when Lu Jiuzhong came to see him earlier, what he reported was that he had relevant clues about the Manichaeans in his hand, so he had seconded some of his staff for this reason.

Now that the person is back, it probably means that something has been gained.Therefore, after the servant's report was completed, the emperor directly ordered the servant to pass the person in.

People were waiting outside the hall, so with the transmission from the servant, Lu Jiuzhong and others soon appeared in front of the emperor, and it was at this time that Lu Jiuzhong discovered that Wu Duxiong and others were also there. .

Looking around, Lu Jiuzhong simply nodded his head as a greeting, and then went ahead to greet the emperor with Eunuch Song at the side.

After the ceremony was over, the emperor was the first to speak: "Lu Qing's family, I must have some good news for you when you come here this time."

"Return to Your Majesty, that's right. Thanks to Your Majesty's blessing, the minister and Eunuch Song captured a Manichaean messenger and...a person who seemed to have sent the letter in an abandoned temple in Xinfeng County outside Beijing on the eve of Haishi. . We found a letter from and to each other.”

After saying that, Lu Jiuzhong directly handed over the letter he found in the ruined temple to his servant, and then said: "Your Majesty, please read it now."

"Suspicious?" The emperor did not read the letter in a hurry, but noticed an interesting point in Lu Jiuzhong's words, so he couldn't help looking at Lu Jiuzhong with a little interest, waiting for his explanation.

"This..." Lu Jiuzhong hesitated for a moment before saying, "Return to Your Majesty, this person has a grudge with the lower officials, so it is inconvenient for the lower officials to say some things. It happened that Eunuch Song was there at the time, so Your Majesty You see..."

Although Lu Jiuzhong didn't continue, everyone could tell that he was trying to avoid suspicion.

Regarding this, the Son of Heaven didn't know why, so he didn't agree, and then directly replied: "Lu Aiqing, but it's okay, I can still trust the integrity of Lu Qing's family. In front of business, even if there is a grudge, Lu Aiqing The Qing family will also be able to handle it impartially, not letting a bad person go, and not wronging a good person."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust, and I appreciate it!" Seeing this, Lu Jiuzhong stopped insisting.

After thanking him, he told the emperor what happened that night in a way that was absolutely fair and without any personal feelings.

With Lu Jiuzhong's narration, the emperor also had a clear understanding of what happened that night.I understand why Lu Jiuzhong made such words to avoid suspicion, and I also understand where the word "suspect" comes from.

On the other side, it was only now that Wu Duxiong knew that Jiang Haitian, who had placed high hopes on him before, was actually blocked by Lu Jiuzhong leading someone to give him all the stolen goods.And it seems that they are bringing the emperor's close personal.

For a while, he didn't know whether he should scold Jiang Haitian as a waste, and he didn't even know that he was being followed and followed outside the city.

I should still blame myself, how blindly I pinned my hope on this kind of waste, so that I am so passive now.

Not to mention that Wu Duxiong's mind was spinning all over the place at this moment, planning what to do if Jiang Haitian, in a hurry, bites people and drags himself into the water.

On the other side, after listening to Lu Jiuzhong's words that he no longer had the slightest position.After looking at Lu Jiuchong for a while, the emperor casually took the letter from the servant, flipped through the letter in his hand, and said casually: "Jiang Haitian, it's no wonder that Lu Aiqing wants to avoid suspicion. But... Lu Aiqing, This Jiang Haitian treated you so well back then, you should hate him very much, right?"

"...Go back to Your Majesty, I dare not lie in front of your Majesty," Lu Jiuchong was silent for a moment and then said: "Yes!"

"That's the case, why did you hear Aiqing's words just now, but there are many words that are beneficial to him," the emperor continued: "Aiqing is not afraid, when the time comes, will my judgment be in his favor?"

"Return to your majesty, just as your majesty said," Lu Jiuzhong said in a deep voice: "I am honored by your majesty's great favor, and I am honored to be in charge of the post of guard officer. I should do my duty faithfully and put state affairs and public affairs first! Don't let a bad person go, It’s also not wronging a good person!”

"...Okay!" The emperor just stared at Lu Jiuzhong for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I really did not misunderstand Lu Aiqing! It is because of Lu Aiqing, a loyal person like Lu Aiqing, that we have the prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Prosperity!

I remember that a month ago, I made a decree that Lu Aiqing and Wu Qing's family will determine the outcome based on their ability, and they will decide on the post of Commander of the Guard Division.Now it seems that the time is almost up, and the two Qing families happen to be there too.Then I will decide the outcome of this match now.

Lu Jiuzhong stepped forward to accept the seal! "

"The minister is here!" Lu Jiuzhong seemed to understand something, so a hint of excitement flashed across his face unconsciously.Stepping forward amidst Wu Duxiong's gloomy complexion, he saluted and said in a deep voice.

The emperor glanced at Wu Duxiong, who had a look of unwillingness flashing across his face, and then said: "The guard of the guard, Lu Jiuchong, is honest and honest, and the training is strict. I will promote you to the post of commander of the guard , I hope Aiqing can..."

What followed were all clichés, so Lu Jiuzhong didn't listen carefully. All he could hear was one sentence.

That is, the emperor has officially promoted him to be the commander of the Guard Division. He, who was once on the verge of being abandoned, has become the helm of the Guard Division, a violent organization that is all over the world!

The reversal among them is like a drama script, making him feel as if he is dreaming.

So even after the emperor announced, he was so excited that he didn't react for a while.Still being reminded by Eunuch Song, he quickly thanked him and said: "Thank you for your grace, Chen Dingdang will do his best to live up to your majesty's trust!"

Chapter 252 The Arrangement of Takeshio

Lu Jiuchong's ascension signified that Bai Li's planning was finally in vain.It also marks that Bai Li's people have officially entered the power center of the terrorist forces called Da Zhou.

Of course, the emperor at this time didn't know that the so-called loyal man he promoted was actually Bai Li's secret son.

It's just out of balance, and I don't want one yamen to dominate, especially such an important yamen as the Gongwei Division.Therefore, after seeing Lu Jiuzhong bowing his head slightly, the emperor turned his gaze to Wu Duxiong.

He hinted a few words, expressing that Wu Duxiong should give up the confession he promised earlier, and that the position of Tongzhi Gongweisi is still his. People have to count their crimes and punish them.

After all, it was Wu Duxiong who promised to take the crime and make meritorious service.If things don't work out, it's bullying the king!

Then don't blame the emperor for counting crimes and punishing him for not giving him a chance.

In fact, according to the emperor's previous temper, it seems that the emperor would have killed someone if he had caused such a big loss.

However, the imperial court is really short of manpower now, and since Wu Duxiong was able to take the position of commanding the Tongzhi before, he must have the ability.In addition to the lack of heaven and human level, it is not so easy to make up for.

This made the emperor decide to give the other party a chance.

In the face of the emperor's hint, Wu Duxiong is really dumb and eats coptis, and he can't tell what he is suffering.

He wanted to explain what he had promised before.But the point is that the person he had counted on before didn't live up to expectations, and was directly dirty and sold by Lu Jiuzhong.

Now he can't be allowed to contact the Manichaeists in person, and then betray the Manichaeists.

As long as he is willing, the Manichaeans will also believe in it.

Even if the Manichaeans believed, and Lu Jiuzhong had returned to Beijing, the Manichaeans would be willing too!

Taking a step back, even if the Manichaeists are willing, he can afford the price of having the Manichaeists in the capital.But once the Manichaeists knew that he was the one who begged for help, betrayed and arrested others, then the Manichaeists would have to hate him madly.

At that time, there will be no good fruit for Wu Duxiong.

It is true that one of the three major cults in the world is just talking, and you can let others bully and take advantage of it.

In addition... the most important thing now is that Jiang Haitian was arrested, how could Wu Duxiong care about the so-called reinstatement of officials.What he has to consider now is whether Jiang Haitian will bite him out.

Although according to common sense, Jiang Haitian should not be so unwise. After all, as long as Wu Duxiong is still outside, even if Jiang Haitian cannot be exonerated, there is no problem in taking care of his relatives and children.

It's just that one kind of rice feeds all kinds of people, who knew that Jiang Haitian would think so.
