Chapter 18: The Gift of the Monarch
Zhao Yan didn't want to spread the news of his amnesia, and after listening to Lu Chaoyong's explanation, although he had fire in his heart, he had no choice but to sit and wait for the arrival of the distinguished guests.
"Brothers, we are all subordinates who are inconvenient to stay here for a long time, please come downstairs with me to eat."
While talking and laughing, another plate of yellow and white things was handed over to Qinglong and others to accept.
"This, this is not good."
Several people laughed, without even nodding their heads past Zhao Yan.
really responded to Zhao Yan's words, who would dislike money?
After sending Qinglong and other guards, Lu Chaoyong turned back again.
"Why haven't you come yet?"
Zhao Yan frowned.
"Your Majesty, the minister has fulfilled his mission, and hereby recalls his life."
As Lu Chaoyong spoke, he gave Zhao Yan a great gift of three bows and nine bows, and respectfully presented it with a scroll in both hands.
Zhao Yan's head was cold at that time, what was the situation?
"Lu Chaoyong?"
Zhao Yan asked in a stern tone.
"Your Majesty, there is no one here, so there is no need to be restrained."
Lu Chaoyong looked back and explained cautiously.
"What do you mean by that?"
Zhao Yan also had heart palpitations, Suzaku was a shadow guard, who knew where she was hiding at this time and secretly observing.
In case Jiang Lingyue believed that it was true, it was not impossible for him to click him with a knife.
"Your Majesty......"
"Don't use that word."
Zhao Yan hurriedly corrected it, he dared to guarantee that Suzaku had already made a killing move.
"Your Majesty."
Lu Chaoyong's mouth did not leave His Majesty, and he talked to Zhao Yan with the courtesy of a monarch and a minister.
This made Zhao Yan feel uncomfortable, and he didn't stay or leave.
"Say, what the hell is it that Gu Gu is here? Where's that guest? ”
Zhao Yan asked impatiently, in the land of right and wrong, he was already ready to slip away.
"Your Majesty, you are now riding a tiger and it is difficult for us to retreat."
Lu Chaoyong opened the scroll as he spoke.
As the scroll slowly unfolded, a clear vein gradually came into Zhao Yan's eyes.
"What is this?"
Although Zhao Yan already knew most of it, he still pretended to be stupid and didn't want to admit that this was what he meant.
"Your Majesty, these are the local bureaucrats who are loyal to you, and they are all waiting for a reward."
Feelings, this is going to be in vain.
"Make it clear to Lone."
Zhao Yan didn't dare to expose the fact of amnesia, so he had to pretend to know, but he needed Lu Chaoyong to describe it in detail.
"Your Majesty, you are the emperor of the previous dynasty, and the slave is also the queen of the general, Zhao Tianming is not His Majesty's father, you all know this, you can't covet the beauty and forget the hatred of destroying the country and destroying the clan."
Does this need to be made clear, Lu Chaoyong's expression of hatred is enough to make people believe that these are true.
From beginning to end, Zhao Yan had an uncommon hatred for this dynasty, why did he change his original intention after entering the palace a few days ago, and he didn't even want to admit his true identity.
It must have been Jiang Lingyue's demon girl who charmed Zhao Yan's sacred heart.
Could it be that all of this is Lu Chaoyong's own brain, so he said the above?
Zhao Yan wondered in his heart, although he had traveled over and lost all the memories of the original owner, it did not mean that he didn't know anything about this dynasty.
More or less, from Jiang Lingyue's mouth, I can also find out some things about this dynasty.
Especially some insider information about the royal family.
This dynasty Guozuo has a history of hundreds of years, so it is possible that he Zhao Yan has really lived as a thousand-year-old demon.
"Lu Chaoyong, do you have the talent to lead the troops to restore Sheji?"
Zhao Yan narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the Lu Yuanwai in front of him.
Behind the door, are they all fat heads and big ears, and a belly of straw bales? Look at that posture, don't say that riding a horse to fight in all directions, even walking is difficult, right?
Is there a fraud?
Seeing Lu Chaoyong's selective silence, Zhao Yan continued to ask.
"So, I'm going to ask you, how did the Star Picking Tower become a lonely industry?"
In a place like Xingxinglou, the specifications for entertaining VIPs are surprisingly high, and the owner behind it has always been mysterious, and it is rumored in the streets and alleys that its actual owner is the empress.
Otherwise, those princes and nobles would not even be qualified to ascend to the top.
"Your Majesty, it was bought by the villain with a lot of money, and this is the title deed."
Lu Chaoyong said it clearly, but Zhao Yan concluded that this person was full of nonsense based on this alone.
"Then you called Gulai for this title deed?"
Zhao Yan glanced at it, he had never been interested in deceptive things.
"No, Your Majesty, these people are all loyal pillars of our dynasty, and I ask Your Majesty to buckle the big seal, and promise to be a high-ranking official, just waiting for the big things to be done."
Lu Chaoyong presented the roster to Zhao Yan again, but his eyes were as sinister and cunning as a black eagle, secretly observing Zhao Yan's reaction.
"Lu Chaoyong, are these people in contact with you?"
Zhao Yan frowned, and said in his heart that it was a big game of chess, and almost all the courtiers in the court who were loyal to the empress were registered.
There are also some that Zhao Yan is not very familiar with, but he has also heard Jiang Lingyue analyze the local situation.
And those officials who have military power and real power are almost all written on it.
Taking 10,000 steps back, even if they were all dissatisfied with this dynasty, Zhao Yan did not have the face to win the support of these people.
"These are the talents that Weichen has worked so hard to recruit, as long as His Majesty promises to be a high-ranking official, they will only look forward to His Majesty's horse, and they can become a great treasure when they enter the palace."
Paralyzing, it's really.
Zhao Yan already had a hunch that there must be a lot of articles here, but it was difficult for him to determine who instructed Lu Chaoyong to be so bold.
"Done, that's it, you can do it."
Since you can't dodge, then let's plan and see how Lu Chaoyong reacts.
"Your Majesty, you haven't buckled the treasure seal of the previous dynasty yet."
Lu Chaoyong's face was embarrassed, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"You also know that Lone is the remnant of the previous dynasty, where did you get the treasure seal?"
Zhao Yan asked rhetorically.
"Your Majesty, isn't it Zhao Tianming's old thing that has been found a long time ago, this is so anxious, something is not successful but was captured, Weichen has already heard about it, the treasure seal is in the hands of His Majesty, if you miss the opportunity, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to think about it again."
Lu Chaoyong said anxiously.
Wo grass, and this detail?
Why didn't Zhao Tianming, the cheap daddy, mention it, it's all because this brain can't remember anything.
"You're really pedantic, since it's all done by you, you can take another big radish and cover it casually, and it's over."
Zhao Yan teased.
"Your Majesty, it's child's play to rebel, it's too outrageous."
Lu Chaoyong spread his hands, indicating that things did not do this.
What exactly does he want?
If it is as simple as just buttoning the treasure seal, Lu Chaoyong can deal with it casually, but why does Zhao Yan have to go out in person?
And I think of Jiang Lingyue telling him that the case of Zhao Tianming's rebellion is very strange, and the whistleblower still doesn't know who did it.
No, they want to provoke infighting within the empire.
Because the people on the roster can be said to belong to different camps, and even many people have party disputes, how to twist into a rope?
This was Lu Chaoyong's biggest mistake.
"As you do, the head of the lonely man will fall to the ground."
Lu Chaoyong was shocked when he heard this.
