Text Chapter 2061 This Woman Finally Got It
"Niu Youde deserves a big reward for his meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion of the Southern Army!"
"Now that Hao Defang died in the rebellion, the Southern Army is left without a leader. Niu Youde has won the hearts of the people in the Southern Army, and it is the people's will that Niu Youde is in charge of the Southern Army.Δ"
"In order to stabilize the Southern Route as soon as possible, I suggest that Your Majesty appoint Niu Youde as the Southern Army's Heavenly King!"
"I second the motion! The Southern Army is under the control of Niu Youde. Now the Southern Army cannot do without Niu Youde, otherwise it will easily cause chaos and bring disaster to the world!"
"If the Southern Route continues to be in chaos, the tax revenue of the world will be reduced by a quarter, and if things go wrong, the world will be in chaos! I second the motion, appoint Niu Youde as the Southern Army's Heavenly King!"
"Niu Youde is the only candidate for the Southern Army's Heavenly King, I second the motion!"
"I second the motion!"
"I second the motion!"
The court officials of the Eastern Army faction, the Northern Army faction, the Southern Army faction, and the Xiahou family faction, rarely agreed, and collectively requested Niu Youde to be the Southern Army's Heavenly King.
There was no voice of opposition in the entire Qiankun Hall. Qingzhu did not object, and the court officials on Qingzhu's side did not say a word. They just watched the major forces shouting one after another.
Finally, Qingzhu calmly made a decision and said, "Then let's do it. Draft an edict and announce it to the world. Confer Niu Youde as the Heavenly King of the Southern Army!"
All the officials shouted, "Your Majesty is wise!"
When the court meeting was over and the officials left, Gao Guan was the last one to walk out of the Qiankun Hall. He walked down the steps and looked back indifferently. Qingzhu only left Sima Wentian. He didn't know what it meant. Qingzhu's calmness made him realize that something was wrong.
In the Xingchen Hall, Sima Wentian followed Qingzhu into the library, but found that Qingzhu slowly walked into the library and flipped through the ancient scrolls like nothing had happened.
Sima Wentian, who had been following silently for a long time, didn't know what Qingzhu was doing, but he was sure that Qingzhu was in a bad mood. He couldn't help but look at Shangguan Qing who was also following him, but he didn't get a reply.
"Your Majesty, do you have any instructions?" Sima Wentian finally took the initiative to ask.
Qingzhu, who was looking down at the ancient scroll, said lightly, "What's the matter with the spy around Niu Youde? Niu Youde married Pang Guan's daughter without knowing it?"
Sima Wentian said hurriedly: "This matter has been investigated. Niu Youde and Pang Guan's marriage was extremely secretive. She was sent to an island to build a new garden in advance. She didn't even see Pang Guan's daughter, so she didn't know it. Niu Youde planned such a big thing. Once it was exposed, the consequences would be disastrous. It is understandable that he was so cautious. According to the news from other spies afterwards, most people around Niu Youde didn't know about the marriage with Pang Guan."
Qingzhu seemed to be nonchalant and said: "Niu Youde can't stay any longer, find a way to deal with him!"
In fact, he really wanted to find out why the Xiahou family suddenly helped Niu Youde to take the position. The Xiahou family exposed a lot of hidden stakes in the Southern Army this time. The price is not small. Is it worth it? But he couldn't figure it out.
"Uh..." Sima Wentian was stunned and tried to ask: "Should we let Zuobu do it?"
Qingzhu: "That spy can be used now, let her do it."
"Yes!" Sima Wentian paused after agreeing, and said hesitantly: "Niu Youde's vigilance is probably high recently. I am worried that she will not be able to succeed. After all, she has no assistants around her. Even if she succeeds, it is basically asking for death. It's okay to threaten her with her mother to do things, but if she is asked to die, will she cherish her life... I dare not guarantee it."
Shangguan Qing on the side suddenly said: "If she can't find a chance to do it, please help me find a suitable opportunity. It shouldn't be difficult for her to find out Niu Youde's gaps when she is by Niu Youde's side, right?"
Sima Wentian understood that Qingzhu was unwilling to cause chaos in the world unless he had to. After all, it was his world that was in chaos, not someone else's. To control the chaos within a controllable range, the shadow guards were afraid that they would have to take action. Assassinating the ministers of the Heavenly Court was such a shameful thing that only dead soldiers like the shadow guards were most suitable to do it! He immediately nodded and said, "Okay! I will arrange it right away!"
"The Heavenly King in charge of the Southern Army?"
At the Tianpin Palace, Xiahou Chengyu, who heard the result of the court meeting, sat down on a chair, almost paralyzed, muttering to himself, with a look of disbelief on his face.
She couldn't understand why Qingzhu would agree to such a thing. For her, Niu Youde was completely out of control after becoming the Heavenly King in charge of the Southern Army, and it was impossible for him to be controlled by her Tianpin Palace. Niu Youde no longer needed her, and her shame and anger at being used became even stronger.
To describe her mentality from another angle, it was a bit pathological. Niu Youde succeeded with her help, but abandoned her. She felt that she was abandoned by Niu Youde!
She smashed a few furnishings in anger, and after gradually calming down, her eyes showed determination. The Netherworld Governor's Office was still under her control, and she could also appoint a new Netherworld Governor. If she could help Niu Youde, she could help another one.
Having hurriedly left the Tianpin Palace, Xiahou Chengyu found Qingzhu almost immediately.
In the Xingchen Palace, Sima Wentian had just left when Xiahou Chengyu came to greet him again. Qingzhu, who was wandering in the library reading a book, asked calmly, "Chengyu, is there anything?"
Xiahou Chengyu asked, "Your Majesty, the Netherworld Governor's Office is under the jurisdiction of Tianpin Palace. Does Your Majesty have a new candidate for the Governor?"
Qingzhu said calmly, "Do you have any other ideas about that position?" He was not thinking about it yet.
Xiahou Chengyu said, "I suggest sending our son Yuanzun to take over! Yuanzun's current strength is not much less than Niu Youde back then. Niu Youde could be the Governor of the Netherworld back then, so Yuanzun can do it too!"
In her opinion, there are too many heartless people in the world, and only her son can make her feel most at ease. It is a very simple truth, and there are no other convoluted thoughts.
As soon as these words came out, Qing Zhu and Shangguan Qing were both stunned. Qing Zhu slowly raised his head to look at her and said suspiciously: "Chengyu, is this what your mother-in-law taught you?"
Xiahou Chengyu said: "Your Majesty is overly concerned, no! My mother-in-law is too selfish, and my foreign minister might be the second Niu Youde. After thinking about it, I think only our own son is the most reliable!"
The monarch and his ministers looked at each other. Judging from the resentment hidden in Xiahou Chengyu's words, it was unlikely that he was lying. Although he was a little surprised by the method that Xiahou Chengyu suddenly proposed, when he thought about it, Xiahou Chengyu could come up with this idea. The method seems reasonable.
Master Qing's eyes flickered, and he put the ancient scroll in his hand back on the bookshelf. Not to mention, this method was really eye-catching, and he couldn't help but look at Xiahou Chengyu twice.
In the past, when the Nether Governor's Mansion was not established, there would have been a lot of resistance if the Emperor of Heaven wanted to do this. But now, all the resistance that should have been overcome by Niu Youde in his early years. The Netherworld Governor's Mansion already exists, and it is the Guitian Female Palace. Direct management, the two biggest troubles in the system have been settled by Niu Youde. Does the Southern Army Commander Tianwang still want to continue to control the Netherworld Governor's Mansion to the territory of Tianmu Palace?
Qingzhu put his hands behind his back and looked at Xiahou Chengyu with a smile, "What should we do with the troops? You can't let Yuan Zun be the bare governor, can you?"
Xiahou Chengyu said matter-of-factly: "How many people does that Governor Niu Youde have? Yuan Zun can't be short of it. Wouldn't it be over if Your Majesty directly transfers 50 million elites from the Guards to Zun'er?"
Master Qing is a little speechless, but you made it easy. Think of it as a meal. Can 50 million people be adjusted at a glance?
Shangguan Qing nodded slightly, "I think this method is feasible, as long as the 50 million Guards can be directly transformed into people from the Netherworld!"
Lord Qing squinted and said, "I'm just afraid that Niu Youde will use this period to instigate several other parties to jointly block the handover. I guess it's possible to instigate the cancellation of the Netherworld Governor's Mansion. After all, this is to push things behind his back." When 50 million troops pass by, isn’t he worried that he will become the second Hao Defang?”
Shangguan Qing: "Your Majesty, this is easy to handle. Once he is officially appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Army, he will definitely submit a petition to re-appoint officials at all levels of the Southern Army. You can use this opportunity to blackmail him. If he prevents His Highness from entering the Netherworld Governor's Mansion, Your Majesty He can also let the appointment of various members of the Southern Army be delayed. This is the most important thing for him to stabilize the morale of the army. He will definitely compromise and allow other parties to accommodate. There is another advantage to His Highness bringing the Guards to station. Unlike Niu Youde who had just gathered Linghu Douchong's men and horses to face the conflict with the Xiahou family, people were still uncertain and worried that the Xiahou family would not be able to gain a foothold through manipulation. The whole team of guards was reorganized and entered, and His Highness could use them at first hand. There were no other worries. We will have a stable foothold in force!”
Master Qing nodded and said with a smile: "Okay! Inform Po Jun and Wu Qu to dispatch 50 million elite soldiers from the left and right guards to Yuan Zun, and send him a few reliable manpower to assist!"
"Yes!" Shangguan Qing responded.
Xiahou Chengyu saluted with joy and said, "I would like to thank Your Majesty on behalf of your Majesty!" That made him beam with joy, and it felt like a blessing in disguise.
After Qingzhu waved her hand to ask her to leave, he looked at her leaving figure from the space of the bookshelf, stroked his beard and sighed: "Knowing that her mother's family is unreliable, this woman finally got the idea!"
The heavenly decree announced to the world that Niu Youde had made great achievements in quelling the chaos. He succeeded Hao Defang and was named the Heavenly King of the Southern Army. The world was shocked!
For those who have known for a long time, it is expected that things have come to this point. There is nothing surprising. Only those who do not know the inside story will discuss it. Those who know the ins and outs of the matter will remain silent and watch the world with cold eyes. These ignorant monks regard them as stupid people!
"Your Majesty, does Heaven really want to confer Niu Youde as the Heavenly King?"
In Prince Guangtian's Mansion, Princess Meiniang, who was walking with Duke Guangling in the mountains and forests, tried to ask.
"Yes!" Guang Linggong responded calmly.
Mei Niang hesitated and said: "To be directly promoted from the Grand Governor to the Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Army, is this step too big and against the rules? How could Your Majesty agree?"
Guang Linggong: "What can we do if he doesn't agree? Niu Youde has fought hard to this point, is it possible to let go of military power? The forces of the four armies of the southeast, northwest and northwest, as well as the forces of the Xiahou family, are supporting Niu Youde's rise to power. Lord Qing does not have to agree. But he couldn't bear the consequences of not agreeing. He couldn't suppress it with the guards in his hands alone. Unless the Buddhist community was invited to join forces to suppress it, but that would definitely lead to chaos in the world. The price would be too high and the gains would not be worth the losses. He could only Maybe it’s a promise! As for rules, when someone objects, they are rules. If no one objects, no one will mention the rules!” (To be continued.) 8
