Sign a Lu Fengxian at the beginning

Chapter 141 Prince, this is a good thing

Two outstanding people signed in one after another, and Zhou Chen was in a very good mood.

Whether it is Liu Ye or Dian Wei, these are the talents Zhou Chen needs most now.

Needless to say, Liu Ye is an outstanding person with talents to help the world.

Although Dian Wei was not a general and could not guard a side or lead troops in battle, he was the best bodyguard.

Among the imperial guards in the palace, what they lack now is experts who can suppress any invading enemies.

Although Jin He is not bad, the strength of the Grand Master in the later stage is still a bit weak, and he can only deal with ordinary Xiaoxiao disciples.

If there is a real master coming to attack, the strength of Grandmaster Jinhe in the later stage will still be a bit unsatisfactory.

The appearance of Dian Wei, a half-step heavenly being, just made up for this weakness in the Forbidden Army.

After Zhou Chen issued an edict to seal Liu Ye and Dian Wei, Liu Ye and Dian Wei left the Yangxin Hall.

Liu Ye went directly to the Ministry of Industry and took up his post.

And Dian Wei went to the Xiyuan Forbidden Army.

…

West Garden Forbidden Army.

After several bloody purges, the overall strength of the Forbidden Army has declined a lot.

Today, there is only one commander, Jin He, in the Forbidden Army. Although other generals have been promoted to fill the vacancies, they are still inferior to those of the previous Forbidden Army generals.

But the benefits are also obvious.

That is, the loyalty of the Imperial Guard has risen by more than one level.

Now, except for the imperial order, no one can easily mobilize the imperial army.

Inside the main tent of the military camp.

Jin He looked at the burly man in front of him and said politely, "Commander Dian, I am the only commander of the Forbidden Army now, and I am under a lot of pressure."

"Now, with Commander Dian joining me, I can feel more relaxed."

"Commander Dian, wait a moment, I will summon the generals of the Imperial Army to meet Commander Dian."

Jin He said, feeling a little shocked by Dian Wei's aura.

From Dian Wei, Jin He felt the same terrifying aura as that of Lu Bu.

It seems that this is another unexpectedly strong person.

I really don’t know where your Majesty found these masters.

Jin He thought to himself, and immediately asked people to summon the generals in the Forbidden Army.

Dian Wei didn't say anything more and just found a seat and sat down.

…

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

After Dian Wei and Liu Ye left, Zhou Chen sat quietly on the dragon chair.

After a while.

Zhou Chen glanced at Cao Zhengchun, who was standing next to him: "Cao Zhengchun, I just saw the solemn look on your face. How do you feel about the commander of the Imperial Army whom I have ennobled?"

Cao Zhengchun's expression condensed and he said in a deep voice, "Very strong."

Apart from Lu Bu, Dian Wei was the first person so far who made Cao Zhengchun feel threatened.

I can bear the evaluation of Cao Zhengchun as "very strong".

"oh!"

"Then if you and Dian Wei fight, who is stronger or weaker?"

Zhou Chen changed the subject and asked suddenly.

Zhou Chen was a little curious, who is stronger, the evil one in the Three Kingdoms or the governor of Dongchang, who is the best in the world?

Cao Zhengchun pondered for a moment and then said softly, "Your Majesty, it's hard to say. Only by having a real fight can we know."

"However, Lao Nu and Commander Dian focus on different directions."

"The commander-in-chief prefers fighting on the battlefield, while the old slave prefers rivers and lakes methods."

"It's hard to decide which one is strong and which one is weak."

Zhou Chen nodded after hearing this. Cao Zhengchun's words were very pertinent.

However, Zhou Chen expected that if Dian Wei and Cao Zhengchun fought to the death, Dian Wei would most likely die, not Cao Zhengchun.

Because Cao Zhengchun has never been an upright person.

He is like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark. As long as you show the slightest flaw, he will bite you hard.

With Dian Wei's naivety, he could not escape the poisonous snake Cao Zhengchun's plot.

Of course, the venomous snake Cao Zhengchun is currently being used by Zhou Chen.

The more sinister and sinister Cao Zhengchun is, the more satisfied Zhou Chen will be.

If Cao Zhengchun is not sinister and vicious, how can he control an intelligence agency like Dongchang?

How can he become a sharp knife in the hands of his emperor?

"Has there been any special news from the civil and military officials in the court recently?"

Zhou Chen did not dwell on this topic anymore, but asked about the news of the officials in Cao Zhengchun's court.

"Reporting to your Majesty, all the civil and military officials in the court are currently at peace."

"Before, officials would gather at the Prime Minister's Mansion from time to time, but since Cui Yongyuan and more than 20 officials were confiscated by Dongchang, no officials have visited or gathered at the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Cao Zhengchun truthfully reported the news about the officials under surveillance these days to Zhou Chen who was sitting on the throne.

After listening to Cao Zhengchun's report, Zhou Chen nodded; "Just settle down. It seems that I killed the nine Boling Cui families and made the civil and military officials in the court smell the danger and no longer dare to move."

."

"Your Dongchang factory should also hurry up."

"Now that Dianwei is here, the safety of the palace will not be a problem. You can focus more on the East Factory."

"Your Dong Factory is still far from what I expected."

Zhou Chen glanced at Cao Zhengchun.

In Zhou Chen's opinion, only the kind of Dongchang who is pervasive and cannot hide anything from Dongchang's ears and eyes, and the whole world changes color when the factory guards come out, is what Zhou Chen wants most.

But now, Dongchang seems to be far away from Zhou Chen's request.

Cao Zhengchun immediately bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Cao Zhengchun understood what Zhou Chen meant.

But if Dongchang wants to reach the level that Zhou Chen wants, it will take enough time.

Especially for those wealthy families, it is not that easy to hide from Dongchang's eyes and ears.

It seems that some extraordinary measures will have to be used next.

Cao Zhengchun thought to himself.

…

Shu land.

Prince Shu's Mansion.

King Zhou Zhi of Shu sat on the main seat, looking at a decree in his hand and frowning slightly.

Sitting below was Zhou Zhi's right-hand man, the middle-aged scribe Ji Wusheng.

Ji Wusheng saw Zhou Zhi frowning slightly and couldn't help but asked, "Your Majesty, what is the purpose of the imperial court's order?"

"The prince is frowning like this, could something have happened?"

Ji Wusheng looked at Zhou Zhi curiously.

Zhou Zhi has been frowning since he just received this decree from the court.

This can't help but make Ji Wusheng a little strange. What is the content of this decree that the imperial court suddenly issued to Zhou Zhi?

"Look at it!"

"My royal brother asked me to return to Luoyang, saying that my mother misses me."

Zhou Zhi handed the decree in his hand to Ji Wusheng.

Ji Wusheng took over the decree from the court, glanced at it, and smiled at Zhou Zhi who was sitting on the throne: "Your Majesty, this is a good thing!"

"The feudal king is not allowed to leave the fiefdom without an order, let alone return to the capital at will."

"Now, since Your Majesty has made a decree to call the prince back to Luoyang, then the prince can justifiably return to Luoyang."

"Isn't this what the prince wants most right now?"

Now Zhou Zhi is thinking about how to leave the fiefdom and return to Luoyang, the capital of gods.

After all, without a decree, the vassal king cannot leave his fiefdom and easily return to the capital, Luoyang.

Otherwise, you will be punished.

Unexpectedly, the man from the Sleepy Palace sent him a pillow. With this decree, Zhou Zhi, the king of Shu, could return to Luoyang in an upright manner.

From Ji Wusheng's point of view, this is a good thing.

It saves them and they have to think hard about how to return to Luoyang in a legitimate way.

This unexpected will solved a problem in front of them.

Zhou Zhi shook his head and said, "What I am worried about is that things are not that simple."

"The Yuan family, Yuan Ziming and others have just come to Shu to ask for an audience with me. The imperial decree will arrive in a few days."

"Tell me, is this a coincidence, or is it because the imperial court knows that the Yuan family, Yuan Ziming and others have met with me, so they want to summon me back to Luoyang?"

Zhou Zhi frowned and said with twinkling eyes.

Zhou Zhi understood what Ji Wusheng meant, but this imperial edict came out of the blue and followed Yuan Ziming and the others within a few days.

This forced Zhou Zhi to think more.

In such a sensitive matter, he could do no more than he thought possible.

As the saying goes, be cautious and you will never make a big mistake. This is the truth.

After Ji Wusheng heard Zhou Zhi's words, he was stunned for a moment and shook his head; "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much."

"If it is what the prince is worried about, then it is not just this decree."

"What's more, the Yuan family, Yuan Ziming and others came to see the prince, what does this mean?"

"The imperial court did not stipulate that a vassal prince could not make friends with children of aristocratic families."

"Besides, not many people know that Yuan Ziming and others came to see the prince. How could the court know about it?"

Ji Wusheng knew what Zhou Zhi was worried about.

But in Ji Wusheng's view, this was simply impossible.

Zhou Zhi was a little too nervous.

To put it bluntly, even if the imperial court knew that Yuan Ziming and others had met Zhou Zhi, what would they be able to explain.

After Zhou Zhi heard what Ji Wusheng said, his brows relaxed and he smiled helplessly, "Maybe I have been thinking too much these past two days."

"You are right. Yuan Ziming and others can explain what they asked for to see me."

When Jing Ji Wusheng said this, Zhou Zhi felt that he was a little funny and a little too sensitive.

It seems that his mentality is still not calm enough.

Zhou Zhi looked at Ji Wusheng and said warmly, "Now that the problem that has troubled us has been solved, with this decree, it is logical for me to return to Luoyang."

"I really don't know if this is God's will or a coincidence."

Zhou Zhi sighed with a look on his face.

He was just in need of an excuse to return to Luoyang, but he didn't expect that this purpose would arrive.

It really feels like God’s will.

"Your Majesty, now that we have the decree and can go back to Luoyang naturally, shouldn't we make preparations early?"

Ji Wusheng asked Zhou Zhi who was in charge.

Zhou Zhi nodded; "It's time to prepare early."

"Go and invite Yuan Ziming, Zheng Wangzhi and Fan Shao to come over, and I will have a chat with them."

Zhou Zhi looked at Ji Wusheng and said.

Ji Wusheng stood up immediately, bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, it would be better to send someone to keep an eye on the factory guard who sent the decree from the imperial court."

"Dongchang's reputation is not small, and he is not an ordinary person."

"It would not be good if some situations in Shu were reported back to Luoyang."

Ji Wusheng reminded Zhou Zhi, then turned and left.

After Ji Wusheng left, Zhou Zhi pondered.

After a while.

"Three virtues."

Zhou Zhi shouted softly.

"The old slave is here."

San De's figure instantly appeared next to Zhou Zhi.

"You heard what Ji Wusheng said just now, right?"

"Send someone to keep an eye on the factory guard messenger who sent the message."

"I have also heard of the reputation of Dongchang Factory Guard, but don't think that he is a messenger sending orders and ignore what he does."

After Ji Wusheng's reminder, Zhou Zhi also felt that Ji Wusheng's reminder was correct.

The messenger who sent the imperial decree was a factory guard, but no one could guarantee that the factory guard was just here to deliver the decree.

It's better to be careful.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Santoku's figure disappeared next to Zhou Zhi in the blink of an eye.

…

In a mansion.

Yuan Ziming, Zheng Wangzhi, and Fan Shaohe sat opposite each other.

"Ziming, you said it's been a few days. What does the King of Shu mean? Is he going to leave us alone like this?" Zheng Wangzhi glanced at Yuan Ziming and asked.

Ever since they asked to see Shu King Zhou Zhi once before, Shu King Zhou Zhi ignored them and ignored them.

It's not like I can continue talking to them.

Yuan Ziming glanced back at Zheng Wangzhi noncommittally: "For such a big matter, we, the King of Shu, must be given some time!"

"Besides, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

"Our King of Shu knows this truth very well!"

Yuan Ziming said, picking up the tea next to him and taking a sip.

Fan Shaohe, who was next to him, tapped his fingers on the wooden table and said calmly: "I am too anxious to eat hot tofu, but our King of Shu is deliberately leaving us dry."

"It seems that we have underestimated the depth of this King of Shu."

As soon as Fan Shaohe finished speaking, a figure walked in.

"Young Master, someone has come from the Prince of Shu's Mansion, saying that the King of Shu wants to invite the Young Master, Mr. Zheng and Mr. Fan to the Prince of Shu's Mansion as guests."

This figure walked in and reported to Yuan Ziming.

Upon hearing this figure's words, Yuan Ziming, Zheng Wangzhi, and Fan Shao looked at each other.

Yuan Ziming stood up directly, glanced at Zheng Wangzhi and Fan Shaohe and said, "Let's go! Our King of Shu seems to have thought of us."

"There should be an explanation."

After saying that, Yuan Ziming, Zheng Wangzhi and Fan Shaohe walked directly outside.

…

In an inn.

Four figures sat around a corner.

I saw that these four figures were wearing very ordinary clothes and looked like four ordinary people.

But if you look carefully, you will find that these four people are not as ordinary and simple as they seem on the surface.

The four of them looked outside at the sky, and one of them whispered: "We have been waiting for a long time. It seems that the leader can no longer meet us."

"We can't wait any longer. The factory boss's order has been very clear. If we can't wait for the leader, we will go our separate ways."

"Remember, be careful."

The other three nodded.

Then, the four of them stood up and walked out of the inn, disappearing into the crowd.

That's right, these four people are all factory guards.

While Cao Zhengchun sent people to convey the decree to King Zhou Zhi of Shu, he also sent factory guards into Shu.

As the governor of Dongchang, Cao Zhengchun naturally knows what Dongchang's responsibilities are.
