After rebirth, I became a national teacher

"He's using all means to gain credit! The new policy of the temple master has just been established, so we must not condone such evil practices!"

Chen Qingzhu propped his chin with his hand and listened to him nonchalantly before saying calmly:

"Okay, stop saying useless words. You know exactly what you were thinking at the time."

Duke Dingguo was about to make an explanation, but was choked back by her words.

"I have already returned to Nandu. I have witnessed all of your performances since the announcement of the decree."

Duke Dingguo's face suddenly turned pale.

Chen Qingzhu continued:

"The entire Nandu City has been taken over by me, and Zheng Baizhan and his sons and their troops have also surrendered to me."

"You should be aware of what is happening in Nandu City now. Considering that you have served Cihang Temple in the past, I will give you two choices."

Duke Dingguo looked over nervously.

When he was imprisoned in the government office, he had already heard the imperial guards outside talking about how the gates of the Southern Capital were now blocked and all the dignitaries who had betrayed the abbot were having their property confiscated and being thrown into prison.

It is said that the Dali Temple is investigating the past crimes of these people and they will be convicted and sentenced soon.

Among the officials and nobles of the Wei Dynasty, who can withstand investigation?

If they were to be dealt with according to the law, everyone would be sentenced to death.

He certainly doesn't want the Duke Dingguo's Mansion to suffer the same fate.

Therefore, he paid special attention to the two choices mentioned by Chen Qingzhu.

"First, pledge allegiance to the Wei court like Li Gengyuan did, and then be cut into pieces by me."

Only then did Duke Dingguo know that Li Gengyuan, who controlled most of the troops in Nando, had died, and his death was so tragic.

He quickly said:

"Master, you are joking. Duke Dingguo's Mansion is your devout believer. How could they betray you like Li Gengyuan did?"

Chen Qingzhu's expression softened when he heard this, and he even smiled a little:

"Oh, since Duke Dingguo is still somewhat loyal to me, then let's choose the second one."

"As long as you honestly hand over all the military power in your hands to Zheng Baizhan and help him control the entire army, I will not pursue the past crimes of your Dingguo Mansion, nor will I touch any of the Dingguo Mansion's property."

"As long as you know what's good for you, I will promise the Duke's Mansion a prosperous future for three generations."

Of the 30,000 naval forces under the command of Duke Dingguo, 20,000 were scattered throughout the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River for garrison and patrol.

Without his prestigious commander's call for mobilization, it would take a lot of effort to gather this part of the troops, and it would even be impossible to avoid large-scale casualties.

Therefore, she was willing to give the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion a chance to atone for their sins.

Duke Dingguo's face suddenly turned ugly.

Although he is over sixty years old, he is still strong and has never thought of retiring from the army.

The reason why he admired Cihang Temple so much before was to obtain the elixir and divine power and to firmly grasp the military power in his hands.

Now, Chen Qingzhu asked him to hand over all military power to Zheng Baizhan, which was tantamount to asking for half of his life.

Just as he was feeling indignant, he saw the abbot on the high seat stretch out a white jade finger and point it lightly at him.

wow-

The iron chains on Duke Dingguo fell to the ground.

Duke Dingguo was suddenly shocked.

Even at such a long distance, she just pointed her finger and the iron chain, which was as thick as her finger, broke directly.

What a magical power this is!

You know, he has supernatural powers and claims to be the Xiang Yu of the modern world, but for the past few days, he has tried his best and couldn't break the chain even a little bit.

Just as he was secretly shocked, he saw the figure of the person on the high seat flash, and in the blink of an eye he crossed a distance of more than ten steps and came in front of him.

"I'll give you one stick of incense to think about it."

She said quietly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole person disappeared from his sight.

Duke Dingguo was so frightened that he lost all strength and fell to the ground.

With such lightning speed and the ability to come and go without a trace, no one could hurt her even if she was surrounded by thousands of troops.
