Chapter 31: Entering the Palace to Face the Holy Spirit

In the Tai Chi Hall, Emperor Zhou was still sitting on the dragon throne, but today he was in a good mood and very curious.

This was not the first time he heard the name Wu Feng. It was a bit incredible that the Earl of this empire had never seen him before.

But this is not the focus of his current concern. He wants to see what this general who has been praised many times by Zhao Lie looks like.

The civil and military officials below, for the first time today, did not quarrel with each other. They all waited quietly and looked outside the palace from time to time. The great eunuch Huang Hai had just announced that Wu Feng and others would come to see him.

Soon, a rumbling sound was heard outside the main hall, and Wu Feng was ordered to lead the cavalry outside the Tai Chi Hall for inspection by His Majesty.

Wu Feng followed the chief eunuch into the main hall.

"Your Majesty, Wu Feng, pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor, long live! Long live!" Wu Feng had already received a series of etiquette training at Honglu Temple, so this interview was quite satisfactory.

Besides, I’ve also watched a lot of TV series in my past life, so I might as well follow the same example a few times.

Just watching TV is one thing, but when it's my turn to salute, I feel very awkward and unreal.

The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty was very kind. Instead of sitting on the dragon chair, he stood up and came down to help Wu Feng.

"Wu Aiqing is so young, it is true that a hero comes from a young age." Emperor Zhao Xuan said.

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!" Wu Feng replied.

"I heard from General Zhuguo that Wu Aiqing built a new cavalry army. I wonder where it is now?" Zhao Xuan asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, I am waiting for the order outside the palace. Please review it!" After saying this, he bowed and retreated, and invited Zhao Xuan and all the civil and military officials to come out of the palace to watch.

Wu Feng did not raise his head to see the general Zhao Lie, and he did not take the initiative to visit him in the past few days at Honglu Temple. Even though he had been marked by Zhao Lie's faction, Wu Feng did not want to take sides casually.

The cavalry outside the palace did not carry any weapons, but the two hundred black nightmare beast cavalry moved uniformly, with strict steps, majestic momentum, and full of evil spirit, which shocked Zhao Xuan and all the officials!

Especially those civil servants, when they looked at those long horns, black scales, and tall bodies, their hands and feet suddenly became weak and their bodies trembled.

The armies we usually see are all just fake, but where have we seen this? Even many military generals almost made a fool of themselves in front of others. Military generals in peacetime are no different from those civilian officials, except that they usually play more with swords and guns.

However, Zhao Lie nodded repeatedly as he saw this. It is an expert's guess. The cavalry below were practicing a set of enemy-killing formations, and they were developed in conjunction with the Black Nightmare Beast. They were by no means pretentious.

These battle formations did not exist when I went to Sishui Pass for review. They were obviously developed later in actual combat.

It seems that this boy is really good at leading troops in war. The Wu clan has been very restless in recent years, and the north has been unified. There will inevitably be a war between the north and the south in the future. If Yanmen Pass fails this time, there will definitely be another one.

Therefore, he will still need to be used in the future. He, Zhao Lie, knows very well that the other generals of the empire are just wine sacks and rice sacks. They can be dragged into his camp to strengthen his momentum. If he really wants them to charge into the battle, they will be useless.

Prime Minister Zhang Jiuzhou stood calmly and calmly beside the emperor. Although he was a civil servant, he also knew his stuff. The appearance and momentum of the cavalry below were not comparable to those of the troops he had seen.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, thoughtfully. The boy in front of him went from an ordinary soldier to a distinguished earl in only two years. Although Zhao Lie was the reason, his own ability was the key.

This person has long been branded as Zhao Lie, but after entering the capital, he did not visit the Zhao Mansion first, but stayed in Honglu Temple. I am afraid there is still something to be done here!

The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty was also very happy in his heart at this time. After entering the palace, this man did not look sideways, he only saw himself as the emperor, and he was very polite.

Although he had known for a long time that this person was single-handedly promoted by Zhao Lie, being young meant that anything was possible, and it also meant that there was a possibility that he would not be willing to be influenced by Zhao Lie.

As an emperor, why can't he give what Zhao Lie can give? What's more, Zhang Jiuzhou will have no idea about Wu Feng? Can he profit from the snipe and the clam quarreling?

This person has made many meritorious service, which proves that he is good at fighting; he can do what others cannot, and build up the Black Nightmare Beast Cavalry, which proves that he is capable; after entering the capital, he is neither arrogant nor arrogant, neither humble nor overbearing, which proves that he is a man of integrity and wisdom.

In this way, it would be possible to win over this person. Zhao Xuan was also making secret calculations in his heart.

Wu Feng didn't know that in this short period of time, the three parties of the imperial court had already plotted against him.

The officials in the court are all good at figuring out the thoughts of their superiors. When they saw the expressions on Zhao Lie and Zhang Jiuzhou's faces, they immediately understood.

Naturally, Wu Feng was highly praised among the generals, and then, explicitly or covertly, they gave the credit to Prince Zhao Lie. What about knowing people well, being impartial and selfless, being loyal to the country, and having the country in mind? Anyway, it's just flattery.

It’s also like a tide.

The civil service group deliberately weakened Zhao Lie's influence and praised Wu Feng for his bravery, good use of military skills, and eagerness to learn and make progress. This was all because the prime minister led hundreds of officials and effectively governed the local area, so that the country could produce talented people in large numbers and serve the country.

Wu Feng was standing next to the emperor at this moment, his eyes were on his nose, his nose was on his heart, and he did not listen to the overwhelming praises, nor did he respond, but remained silent.

No matter which side you respond to at this time, it is wrong, and it is easy to leave the impression of being a loser, so silence is golden!

Emperor Zhao Xuan of the Great Zhou Dynasty saw this and nodded secretly in his heart. Zhang Jiuzhou had already made plans in his heart. As for Zhao Lie, his heart was as stable as a rock and he was not impatient.

Currently, everything about Wu Feng is under his control, and he can't escape from his grasp! Besides, he doesn't want to appear more anxious, so he agrees with Wu Feng's lack of a visit.

When he returned to the main hall, Zhao Xuan was sitting on the dragon chair, and Wu Feng was telling the details of the incident below. From spying on the military situation, bringing official documents and sending people to persuade him to attack, from looking for the royal city, to fighting between the two sides, and how

The captured princes and princesses of the Witch Clan did not hide anything.

The monarchs and ministers in the court nodded frequently, which not only deepened their recognition of Wu Feng, but also deepened their understanding of the Wu Clan. In particular, the Wu Clan herdsmen's disregard for death and the warlike and ferocious Wu Clan wolf riders left a profound impact.

.

The few young Wu tribe captives they brought had already been properly placed, taken to the palace, and cared for and raised by dedicated personnel. Without freedom, life was much better than on the grassland.

Soon, a charter was negotiated regarding Wu Feng's reward. Wu Feng was promoted to General of the Guard, with a salary of two thousand dan, and was responsible for the preparation of the Black Nightmare Beast Cavalry. The Ministry of Revenue was ordered to allocate money and materials to fully cooperate.

There were no more rewards after that, and the feudal princes that people speculated did not appear.

It’s just that Wu Feng knew that he was only a general before, and only a general of a forward battalion. At best, he was just a seventh-grade sesame official. He was unable to lead an army independently and was not considered a general. But this time the reward was General Wei!

This is a serious general in the empire, a fifth-level general! But he has been promoted four levels in a row! He is given the full power to build and lead the army independently, which means that he will be directly under the leadership of the imperial court.

It also means that he has officially become a real general, holding real power.

This is the glimmer of hope that Zhao Xuan can find in the battle between the two major groups. Of course, it is also the result that Prime Minister Zhang Jiuzhou wants to see. Only by taking Wu Feng out of Zhao Lie's hands can all possibilities for the future be possible.
