Chapter 306: Dispute at the Court Meeting

"Mr. Nian, if you think about it carefully, it's not a bad thing if I don't become the consort of the Princess Gaoyang..."

"First of all, you can save the gift money of 80,000 taels of gold. For me, I don't need to give up the whole forest for a small sapling. For the Princess Gaoyang, she doesn't need to fall into the hands of a devil like me. The officials are not allowed to tolerate me, a heretic villain. For the people of the Dawu Dynasty, they don't need to see the Princess Gaoyang, whom they admire, covered in dust..."

"In this way, this matter has become a happy situation for everyone. I'm afraid that even your daughter, Miss Ling'er, will definitely support my idea. What do you think, Mr. Nian?"

Sitting in the carriage heading to the palace, Lu Yu chattered to Zhou Zunian.

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Zhou Zunian's nose almost got crooked with anger. He snorted heavily and said, "I heard that after the banquet in Cining Palace the night before, Prince Wang was summoned to Shuhua Palace by Concubine Hua. Could it be that Concubine Hua promised you some benefits? You changed your position in an instant!"

Lu Yu asked curiously, "If I say yes, will Mr. Nian increase my bargaining chips to persuade me?"

Zhou Zunian snorted coldly, "Now that things have become like this, what qualifications do you have to raise bargaining chips? You'd better get through this level today first! If you can't get through this level today, I'm afraid you won't know how you died, and you still want to raise bargaining chips!"

"Mr. Nian is talking angrily again..."

Lu Yu responded with a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.

As the saying goes, even if the deal fails, the righteousness remains. Mr. Nian, you can't kill me just because our cooperation didn't succeed, right?"

Zhou Zunian couldn't help but sneer, "Do you think I want to kill you? In fact, if I hadn't protected you, you would have died ten thousand times! If you don't believe me, you can experience it yourself at the grand court meeting later! "

Lu Yu smiled and said, "After hearing what Lord Nian said, I am looking forward to the grand court meeting!"

The carriage stopped in front of the palace gate. Because the palace is an important place, civil and military officials do not have the right to ride horses, cars, or sedan chairs, otherwise it would be an usurpation, an offense and disrespect to the imperial power.

However, there are exceptions to everything. For example, Princess Gaoyang was granted the privilege of riding a horse in the palace by Emperor Jialing, which shows his majesty's favor to her.

Unfortunately, these are all things of the past. Now the situation has undergone a fundamental reversal. Princess Gaoyang's rapidly growing reputation has reached the point of threatening the imperial power. Emperor Jialing has no choice but to do it. I can't stand her presence any longer.

Lu Yu followed Zhou Zunian, walked all the way, passed through three palace gates in a row, and finally arrived at the place where the grand court meeting was held - Zhengde Palace.

As the most majestic and grand palace in the entire imperial city, the magnificence of Zhengde Palace is needless to say. At this time, the grand court meeting has not yet officially started, but the officials have almost arrived, and they are gathering in groups of three or two to gossip. The topic of discussion is naturally inevitable. The turmoil of the release of animals in the Ten-mile Painting Boat last night, and the Gaoyang Princess who just entered the city.

"Mr. Nian."

"Mr. Nian."

"Mr. Nian. "

……

When the ministers saw Zhou Zunian coming in, they all bowed and greeted him. Zhou Zunian also greeted everyone as he walked, showing his high reputation in the court.

But no one paid any attention to Lu Yu who was following behind him. Some ministers even deliberately stepped back after seeing that it was Lu Yu who was following behind, as if they had encountered a flood and a beast and were afraid to avoid him.

Lu Yu didn't care about this at all. Anyway, he was just here to go through the motions today. He didn't care about the attitude of the officials towards him at all.

"Why did this person come to the palace? "

Suddenly, a stern question came, breaking the surface peace.

Lu Yu looked in the direction of the voice, and saw an old man with white hair and beard, wearing a python dragon robe, walking towards him angrily.

The python dragon robe cannot be worn casually. The old man can wear the python dragon robe on such an occasion, which is obviously granted by the emperor, showing his extraordinary status.

Even with Zhou Zunian's identity, he did not dare to be arrogant in front of the old man. He bowed to the old man and explained: "Yan Tai Master, it is the will of His Majesty to let this person attend the Grand Court Meeting..."

Hearing Zhou Zunian's address, Lu Yu couldn't help but feel moved. It turned out that he was also a Grand Master who was ranked among the Three Dukes. No wonder he spoke so toughly... It is said that this Grand Master Yan no longer intervened in specific government affairs due to his advanced age, and only retained the honorary title of Grand Master, but this did not prevent him from speaking toughly in the court.

Grand Master Yan did not buy Zhou Zunian's account at all, and insisted: "Your Majesty was confused for a while, are you all confused too? Such a traitor and shameless person was actually allowed to enter the house and run to the Grand Court Meeting to tarnish the holy virtue. Is this the way of a minister? Come on, capture this man immediately and drive him out of the palace!"

Zhou Zunian said: "Grand Master Yan, be careful with your words. Whether Your Majesty is confused or not is not for you and me to say!"

Master Yan said, "You don't know how to judge people, and you use evil people recklessly. Isn't this stupid? Master Zhou, you are the emperor's teacher. If you can't even give direct advice, you might as well retire and return home as soon as possible, and give up the throne to the wise!"

Zhou Zunian was furious: "Master Yan, don't think that the late emperor gave you the dragon robe, so you can take advantage of your age here! I'm afraid you want not only me, Zhou, to give up the throne, but also Your Majesty to give up the throne as well, right?"

Master Yan said, "Master Zhou's words are too heartbreaking! I think you have ulterior motives!"

...

The ministers around couldn't help trembling. These two big guys took it up, and others didn't dare to easily persuade them. If they were careful, the anger of the two big guys would engulf them at any time.

Unexpectedly, before this grand court meeting officially started, the Master and the Master, who were ranked among the three ministers, had already quarreled fiercely. All this indicated that today's grand court meeting was extraordinary.

Even Lu Yu couldn't help but be alert, thinking that this grand court meeting would at least not be boring.

"Please wait, both of you! Why bother to argue at this time? Why not wait until the court meeting starts and then speak in front of the emperor?

Seeing that the argument between the two people was getting more and more intense, someone finally stood up and stopped them from arguing.

Lu Yu looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the man was wearing a black robe, but he was of no rank or grade, but his aura was extremely powerful. It can be said that he was the most advanced person Lu Yu had seen since he came down the mountain. Even Gao Zhengbang, the martial arts master who had been defeated by him, was far inferior to him.

Lu Yu couldn't help but be slightly startled. He didn't expect that he could see such a powerful person with such a high level of cultivation at this court meeting.

Master Yan also looked at the man and said coldly: "I thought the national teacher was detached from the world. Do you also support letting this shameless person enter the house? "

Lu Yu's heart moved. It turned out that this person was the state teacher Qi Yang Shangren mentioned by Zhou Peiling. He was also the teacher of Prince Lu. No wonder he had such an impressive cultivation.

The state teacher Qi Yang Shangren smiled and said, "I don't support any of you. But to be honest, it's a bit unreasonable for Master Yan to ask the palace guards to capture this man. After all, even Grand Master Gao Zhengbang died at his hands. "

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly changed. Lu Yu immediately felt several cold murderous intentions locked onto him. Obviously, there were many old friends of Gao Zhengbang in this hall.

Lu Yu couldn't help but frown.

Although Master Qi Yang said on the surface that he did not support any side, he deliberately provoked the hatred between himself and Gao Zhengbang's faction at this time, which showed that he was obviously biased... Could it be because he broke the legs of the Prince of Lu, causing his dissatisfaction?

Master Qi Yang looked straight at Lu Yu and continued, "I have heard that you have extraordinary skills, which makes me very itchy. After this court meeting, how about you two have a fight? "

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers were stunned.

You should know that Master Qi Yang's identity is not simple. He is the national magician of the Dawu Dynasty. Every time he took action in the past, he fought against the peerless masters of the enemy country, and every time he took action, his opponent died. But he took the initiative to challenge Lu Yu at this moment, which showed an unusual meaning.

To put it mildly, he did not think that Lu Yu would have a good result in this court meeting. To put it seriously, he wanted to kill this evil demon with his own hands.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them.

Even Zhou Zunian was a little caught off guard by Master Qi Yang's sudden change.

But Lu Yu laughed at this time: "Since the national teacher is interested in this, why wait until the court meeting is over? Why don't we have a fight now? "

While speaking, he raised his hand, and suddenly a blood-red long sword appeared in his hand, with scarlet blade light flickering.

Everyone was shocked.

The proposal of the national teacher was unexpected enough, but the reaction of this demon was even more arrogant. Not only did he directly respond to the invitation of the national teacher, but he also showed his fierce weapons in Zhengde Palace.

This was a very presumptuous behavior, but at this moment no one stood up to correct it.

On one side was the sharp-edged Hate Heaven Blood Demon, and on the other side was the arrogant Master Qi Yang. The two sides were deadlocked in place.

After several breaths, Master Qi Yang suddenly smiled: "The battle between you and me should be left for later. Your opponent today is someone else, and she is already here!"

As soon as the words fell, a horse galloped outside the palace gate. It was the absolute protagonist of today - Qin Yanzhen, the Princess of Gaoyang, who arrived!
