Volume Four Chapter 361 The Emperor's Invitation
What is such a title, the number one housekeeper in the world, who can command hundreds of officials in the DPRK, dominate the court and the opposition, and can command the three armies and command the world outside. Wherever he went, if the emperor came in person, it was simply under one person and over ten thousand people.
Reaching the pinnacle of power, combining the powers of the prime minister and the grand marshal into one, is basically the combination of Zhuge Changfeng and Dugu Zhantian, and the emperor is above him.
But with such power, it is estimated that the imperial power will also be emptied. Isn't this digging one's own grave and handing over the country to others?
Dugu Zhantian's eyelids trembled slightly, and he looked at the emperor in confusion. Zhuge Changfeng also lightly supported his beard, gave him a deep look, and frowned tightly.
The old man means this, and I don't know what his plans are, but he will give Zhuo Fan far more power than the four pillars.
As the prime minister of the empire, he naturally understood in his heart that the art of the emperor lies in the way of checks and balances. In the court, the reason why the emperor can sit firmly on the throne is because he and Dugu Zhantian check and balance each other.
But now, to hold such a thorn in such a high position that he was so uncomfortable without causing trouble for three days, wouldn't it make him even more arrogant? Could it be that...
Squinting his eyes slightly, Zhuge Changfeng seemed to think of something, and sneered inwardly.
It seems that the old man really can't sit still. He wants to push Sun Monkey out to make trouble in the sky as soon as possible, which is messing up the overall situation, hum hum...
But Leng Wuchang's face was twitching, and he felt a burst of resentment in his heart.
Although he probably guessed some of the emperor's intentions in his heart, he was still a little dissatisfied. He served as the chief butler in the Emperor's Gate, and the name of the god operator has long been resounding in the sky.
But at this moment, the title of the world's largest housekeeper would actually fall on the fledgling Zhuo Fan, which made him extremely dissatisfied.
Although Zhuo Fan's intelligence and cunning also made him fear three points, but in terms of qualifications, the title of the first housekeeper should also fall on him!
Feeling depressed for a while, Leng Wuchang took two deep breaths before calming down a little, but looking at Zhuo Fan's eyes, he was still a little red, and he was jealous...
"Give a purple gold cloak!"
The emperor waved his hand slightly and made a faint voice. Immediately, an attendant came out with a wooden tray on which a cloak embroidered with purple gold thread was displayed.
With a hoot, he unfolded the cloak, and saw a golden dragon embroidered on it, and in addition to the four claws, the position of the dragon's claws was vaguely half-fingered.
You must know that the number of dragon claws on the royal robe is a symbol of status.
The four-clawed dragon is the prince, and the five-clawed dragon is the real emperor, the honor of the ninety-five. And now the cloak given to Zhuo Fan is actually four and a half claws, and it is only one step away from turning into a five-clawed golden dragon, the honor of the Son of Heaven.
Such ambiguous costumes were never allowed to exist in the past, and even this was taboo. It was unbearable for the emperor, and it was suspected of conspiring to usurp the throne.
But now, the emperor actually gave such a cloak to Zhuo Fan, but it coincidentally coincided with the name of the biggest housekeeper in the world. Zhuo Fan's status is only under the emperor, but faintly above the seven families and the prince, even the prince is incomparable.
The pupils couldn't help but tremble suddenly, the prince thought for a little, and hurriedly took a step forward and kowtowed: "Report to the emperor, this is not in line with the etiquette, please take it back."
The rest of the people also hurriedly knelt down and bowed, shouting in unison, "Please, Your Majesty, take back your order!"
"This is the imperial decree, step back!" After glancing at everyone coldly, the emperor said lightly, but the words were full of irresistible majesty, which made everyone shudder suddenly. Don't dare to say a word again.
The emperor is the son of the emperor, and he has his own words. How can he be at the mercy of other people's words?
Everyone knows this truth, and understands that it will only be boring to talk about it any more, so they don't speak and retreat.
After that, Zhuo Fan put on the cloak smoothly, with the seven characters of "the world's largest housekeeper" on it, golden light shining brightly, the eyes of everyone present hurt, and many people trembled in their hearts.
Now that Zhuo Fan has this supreme authority, he will be even more arrogant in the future, so who can provoke him? Now, he can mobilize the royal army to help out anytime, anywhere!
Looking at each other, the people in the Palace of Medicine King and Happy Forest laughed bitterly.
At first they didn't take Zhuo Fan and the Luo family seriously, but now they have become giants that can no longer be shaken. If I had known this earlier, I should have gone all out to destroy them in the first place, so why did they end up in today's situation.
The Emperor's Sect was not in a hurry to see this, because they knew that Zhuo Fan was just a fake job...
After awarding Zhuo Fan, the emperor gave another award to the senior officials of the Luo family, but it was not as big as the first three. That is to say, let the whole world know that who is the top of the Luo family, and walk with eyes in the future, don't offend those who shouldn't be offended.
But even so, there was one thing that surprised everyone present, especially the Palace of Medicine King and Huayu Building, who were stunned.
The second elder of the Luo family, the elder of the pill room, turned out to be the former poisonous medicine king of the Medicine King Hall, Yan Song!
At this point, even the emperor was surprised. Didn't he die in Zhuo Fan's hands a long time ago, why is he now the elder of the Luo family?
Taking a deep look at Zhuo Fan, the emperor burst out laughing: "Butler Zhuo, you are hiding this trick from the sky and the sea, but you have been hiding the world for seven or eight years! Now, how many secrets do you have!"
"Hehehe... Your Majesty, don't make fun of it, Your Majesty Shengming, in front of you, how dare I hide any secrets, it's all in broad daylight." Zhuo Fan chuckled and bowed.
The emperor smiled and shook his head, noncommittal!
If Zhuo Fan, he would
Believe it, then he is not the emperor. The conspiracy and tricks in this kid's head, even the emperor can't figure it out.
Now seeing so many incredible things appear, the emperor has another layer of fear for Zhuo Fan in his heart. I don't know when, he thought that the chess piece he had laid with his own hands was no longer under his control.
I hope this game can be played to the end!
With a twinkle in his eyes, the emperor sighed inwardly...
Then, two or three hours later, after the award was completed, the imperial ceremony officially ended, and the emperor also asked each family to withdraw from the imperial city. The noble families bowed and stepped back, but they respected the Luo family even more in their hearts.
Although this new royal family has just started, the sparrow is small and complete. There are masters who need masters, and there are alchemists who need alchemists, and they are all top-notch existences.
Even the big butler is Zhuo Fan, who surpasses the old-fashioned butler, the god operator, and is named the number one housekeeper in the world.
Such a lineup, both civil and military, should not be underestimated in future development. Many secular families, after this ceremony, are already thinking about going to the Luo family.
Especially seeing the arrangement of the Luo family, the first elder is actually Lei Yuntian, the weakest, and the second elder Yan Song is also ranked before many masters of the gods, which is completely different from the ranking of the other families in terms of strength.
This simply sends an important signal to everyone that the Luo family is a loving family. The treatment for the first comers will naturally be higher. After all, giving charcoal in the snow and adding icing on the cake are not the same thing!
This tempted everyone to rush to defect to the Luo family, instead of watching the fire from the other side and seeing the situation. The power of the Luo family will develop rapidly in a short period of time.
And such an eye-catching arrangement of elders, only the Luo family can do it.
Just because the big housekeeper of the Luo family is such a powerful person as Zhuo Fan, who would dare to say no to his seat? If this was placed in another family, the elders would have made trouble long ago with such an arrangement of different strengths.
Strong people always have dignity, right?
But in the Luo family, dignity is nothing! You dare to talk about dignity to Zhuo Fan, it is purely self-inflicted humiliation...
"Zhuofan, you come with me!"
Zhuo Fan was about to leave with the Luo family, but was suddenly stopped by an old voice, and when he turned his head, he saw that the emperor was staring at him without blinking.
Taking a deep breath, Zhuo Fan nodded slightly, as if he had expected it, and walked behind him.
After a while, the two came to the pavilion in the imperial garden of the harem. The emperor first sat on a stone bench, waved a finger, and said lightly: "This is where I and Mr. Sima play a game, and there is no distinction between rulers and ministers. Please take a seat, don't be restrained!"
Raising his brows slightly, Zhuo Fan sat down abruptly, picked up the fruit in the fruit bowl and took a bite, he was really not restrained.
The attendant next to him saw this, his cheeks twitched violently.
His Majesty's words are just polite, are you serious? Even that Mr. Sima, who has been with His Majesty for many years, has not been so indulgent!
However, the emperor didn't care, just looked at Zhuo Fan and smiled, like an old man looking at his grandson, loving and serene.
"Zhuofan, I have already heard of your name, but this is the first time we meet." The emperor looked at Zhuofan, his beard moved slightly, and smiled.
Nodding slightly, Zhuo Fan was noncommittal and kept silent.
Unconsciously laughing, the emperor continued: "The first time I heard your name, it was my three emperors who reported it back. At that time, he said that the Luo family was supported by a shrewd and strong butler, so I don't have to worry. I didn't take it seriously, I just wanted to slowly nurture this new family. As for your ability, I didn't take it to heart. A housekeeper of a third-rate and run-down family, even if he is shrewd and strong, how can he be strong? It's just some housework, It's just well-organized. After all, the horizon is limited, and there can be no great prospects, right."
The emperor looked at Zhuo Fan and smiled as if he was chatting at home.
Zhuo Fan also nodded slightly and did not deny it.
Indeed, all the information is on the family background before seeing the person. The so-called butt decides the head, what vision and ambition can a family that has never even come out of a borderland like Fenglincheng have?
Even if it is him, it is estimated that if he changes positions to get along with him, he will not be exempt. He will look down on Luo family and Zhuo Fan at first.
However, it is precisely because of this that many people who underestimate them relax their vigilance, allowing them to take every step and take advantage of it. Otherwise, Nether Valley or other clans would go all out to kill them from the very beginning, and it is estimated that they would have finished playing early. Where is the current strength?
I can't blame anyone for all this, and I can't blame the Nether Valley for their stupidity. Letting the Luo family go until now, we can only say that Zhuo Fan is an anomaly, an anomaly that no one could have expected...
