Martial Way of the Heavens

After teleporting to the imperial palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Qin Chu and Concubine Shi Qing hugged Queen Wu and then left the palace.

This trip was considered a perfect trip for Qin Chu. He made meritorious service in the war arena and gained a firm foothold in the Zhou Dynasty.

After resting in the mansion for two days, Qin Chu received a message from the inner palace attendant, asking Qin Chu to attend tomorrow's morning court.

After thinking for a while, Qin Chu left the mansion, arrived at Yayuan, and teleported to the Bamboo Garden of the Imperial Palace.

Seeing Qin Chu, Huo Luo withdrew from the bamboo forest.

After Huo Luo left, Queen Wu pulled Qin Chu's arm and kicked Qin Chu twice, "It's been two days since I came back, and you didn't even know you were here!"

"I didn't come here just because I took the time." Qin Chu hugged Queen Wu.

"Hmph! If I hadn't sent an attendant to inform you to attend the court meeting, would you have come over?" Queen Wu glared at Qin Chu.

"I also plan to come here to attend the court meeting for official business. I just made a meritorious service and it's nothing bad. I won't come to Xinrou for this matter." Qin Chu said with a smile.

"It's really a good thing for you. I met Zhou Lie and his father yesterday. The punishment for Zhou Lie is to depose him and kill him! Their ancestors all know about this matter, and they can't deal with it towards Xiao Xiao. In addition, this Zhou Lie has not been popular in the past; the other thing is you. In the future, you will have status and identity. This is Zhou Lie’s intention, and it will be officially announced tomorrow." Queen Wu said.

Seeing that Qin Chu didn't understand, Empress Wu explained the concept of Wuhou to Qin Chu. In the Zhou Dynasty, high-end people were divided into two categories: nobility and official status. Those who performed meritorious service to the Zhou Dynasty would be awarded a title; if an official did well, he would be awarded a title. To the extreme, he will also be knighted, and the title is greater than the official position.

"As long as it works, let me tell you something, Xinrou. I have made a meritorious service this time. Can you give me a training quota in the Void Spirit Tower? I want to give Qing Fei a chance to challenge the Great Sage. "Qin Chu said to Queen Wu.

"Tomorrow at the court meeting, after the reward is announced for you, you refuse it for a while, and then try to get a place for Concubine Qing. I will hesitate and agree, and then I will give you the reward that should be given to you." Queen Wu thought for a moment and said .

"Haha!" Qin Chu smiled. It would be much easier to communicate with Empress Wu now.

After getting tired of Empress Wu for a while, Qin Chu left the palace.

After teleporting to Yayuan, Qin Chu walked around the street and found a teahouse to drink tea and relax after coming out of Yayuan.

When Qin Chu was drinking tea, Qi Qingqing, wearing a veil, stood beside Qin Chu and said, "Let's chat in private."

Seeing Qi Qingqing enter the private room, Qin Chu followed him in.

"The Bai family is down!" Seeing Qin Chu enter the private room, Qi Qingqing went straight to the point.

"I know, because Bai Quan, the great sage of the Bai family, colluded with Zhou Lie and plotted against the queen regardless of the overall situation, and the matter was exposed." Qin Chu said.

"I was not in the Bai family at the time, and there were relatively few people who knew me, so I was spared." Qi Qingqing said.

"Leave this place of right and wrong and develop well." Qin Chu didn't want to get involved too much with Qi Qingqing, and of course he didn't have any hatred. Qi Qingqing had sworn not to mention the past, and to It's not a threat to him.

Qi Qingqing was silent, "I don't know how to go next."

"If you don't want to leave, you can still live in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Be more stable and don't think about shortcuts." Seeing that Qi Qingqing had no intention of leaving, Qin Chu didn't say anything to let her leave.

After drinking two cups of tea, Qi Qingqing said that she planned to buy a yard in Dazhou and that she would settle down first. The Bai family's affairs did not involve her yet.

Qi Qingqing left. After Qin Chu came out of the teahouse, he walked around to the Best Medicinal Pavilion before returning to the mansion. He didn't tell Concubine Shi Qing about becoming a marquis, mainly because he couldn't say that he had met Empress Wu. .

After resting all night, Qin Chu arrived at the palace in a beast cart.

At the entrance of the palace, Qin Chu saw Wu Chengfeng who was also attending the court meeting.

"Wu Ming will be buried tomorrow." Wu Chengfeng said to Qin Chu.

"I will go there tomorrow." Qin Chu nodded.

"I have targeted you before, so I am extremely sorry!" Wu Chengfeng clasped his fists at Qin Chu. He had been told by Queen Wu that he must not be hostile to Qin Chu. Furthermore, in the war arena, Qin Chu avenged Wu Ming. He was grateful in his heart.

"A little conflict is nothing, it's past." Qin Chu stretched out his hand to support Wu Chengfeng's arm.

Then Qin Chu and Wu Chengfeng entered the palace hall.

There are many people in the palace hall, and some senior royal officials have also arrived. Today is the first court meeting after the war arena, and there are many things to be resolved.

Not long after, the queen walked out from behind the screen next to the main hall and sat on the dragon chair.

Everyone in the hall bowed to pay homage. Of course, those with insufficient status had to kneel to pay homage. Qin Chu stood aside and no one cared.

The internal eunuch announced the first edict, which was from Emperor Wu, conferring the title of Queen Wu Xinrou on Queen Xuande.

Everyone paid homage to the queen and congratulated the queen. Everyone recognized the title. The queen has a noble status, but she can still fight for the Great Zhou in the arena of life and death.

After receiving the congratulations, Queen Wu Xinrou made a summary of the war arena, and then sentenced Zhou Lie, deposing the emperor and beheading him!

Many people did not expect this punishment because it was very severe. After all, Zhou Lie was the son of the previous emperor and the younger brother of the current emperor. But the edict had been issued and it was a certainty.

After dealing with Zhou Lie's affairs, the queen began to award rewards based on merit. Wu Ming, who died in battle, was the first to receive the reward. The others were gone, but his wife and children were still there. In addition, Zhou Zhenhai and Zhou Yuanzheng, who have never fought before, also received awards. Both of them got the top lottery. Although they did not fight in the ring, they had the determination to fight to the death and the concept of dedication, so they deserved to receive awards.

After the rewards for Zhou Zhenhai and Zhou Yuanzheng were announced, Empress Wu handed the internal eunuch an edict, announcing the rewards for Qin Chu. In addition to rewards such as top-quality spiritual stones, the biggest reward was to be named a prince.

"Thank you, Queen. In fact, these are not important to Qin Chu. Qin Chu wants to ask for the qualification to practice in the Void Spirit Pagoda for his wife." After hearing his reward, Qin Chu stood up and bowed.

"What are you doing? Hurry and receive the edict." Zhou Yuanxing reminded Qin Chu.

Qin Chu didn't move because this was discussed with Empress Wu.

"Qin Wuhou loves his wife very much. I can understand that. The next round of cultivation quotas in the Void Spirit Tower has not started yet. When the next round starts, I will fight for one for your wife, but you still have to accept the reward. This is the result of the exchange between this palace and Emperor Wu," Queen Wu said.

After receiving the edict, Qin Chu retreated to Zhou Yuanxing's side. He noticed Zhou Yuanzhen's cold eyes, but he found it funny that a man who couldn't even look down on his wife would stare at her.
