Chapter 535

After reading the memorials that excused Shen Ruyuan, Er Gouzi had a rough idea in his mind. These people had food or troops.

If the Holy Emperor Longxing offended all these people, the border situation would be tense now and no one would fight.

"I think that if a prince breaks the law, he is guilty of the same crime as the common people. What's more, if a mere governor of Zhongzhou is not severely punished, where is the majesty of the laws of the Great Zhou! Where is the majesty of the emperor!"

Er Gouzi cupped his hands and said righteously.

"What about the foreign enemies on the border? Who will resist them?"

"Although I am not talented, I am willing to die and shed every drop of blood and sweat for the Great Zhou!"

"Good! Zhang Aiqing is indeed my lucky general and the minister of the revival of the Great Zhou."

The Holy Emperor Longxing said so much before, just waiting for Er Gouzi to say this.

He knew these principles, but now the Great Zhou Dynasty is like a broken house, leaking everywhere.

Since ascending the throne, he has been patching up, but his heart is willing but his strength is insufficient.

There are too few ministers who can be used, the treasury is empty, and there are all kinds of troubles. The few people in the national defense army have been reduced by more than half in recent years.

Now seeing that Er Gouzi promised to help, the Holy Emperor Longxing hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and continued to ask.

"In the current situation, there are enemies on all sides. I can't sleep at night. Does Lord Zhang have a good plan to relieve my worries?"

"In my Qingzhou, there are still some useless soldiers and some stored food, which can be used for a battle."

"If powerful enemies come from all sides, I am willing to lead the troops to resist the powerful enemies from both the Wan Yao Kingdom and the northern barbarians."

Er Gouzi used the land of Qingzhou to fight against two powerful enemies. The sincerity he showed was enough.

"Good! Zhang Aiqing is indeed my lucky general. With your words, I can finally rest assured and sleep a little better."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I have another request!"

Since the emperor knows that you should strike while the iron is hot, Er Gouzi naturally knows the principle of striking while the iron is hot, and he took this opportunity to ask for some benefits.

"The soldiers in the huge army have too low cultivation. Most of them are only in the Qi training stage, and a few are in the foundation building stage. The number of golden elixirs is too small.

I am afraid that their strength is insufficient and they will cause trouble for state affairs in the future."

Er Gouzi has already found out in the East China Sea that the treasury is now very poor, and only the foundation building elixir and the golden elixir are still available.

I heard that these two kinds of elixirs have been rotten because of too much accumulation and too many years.

Although the materials of the foundation building elixir and the golden elixir are very rare, a cultivator only needs to use one pill in his lifetime.

This kind of elixir on the market seems to be extremely precious and rare, but it is strictly controlled by the court.

In fact, Er Gouzi can also refine these two kinds of elixirs, but the elixirs he refined are illegal and can only be used secretly.

Emperor Longxing had long guessed that Er Gouzi would do this. In terms of being dedicated to the country and selfless, Zhang Er Gou is still not as good as Sima Yi.

His Great Zhou has countless people and ministers, but there is only one Sima Yi.

"I can give you 1,000 foundation-building pills and 20 golden pills, but you must stop the powerful enemies in these two directions."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"I will personally lead the Qingzhou soldiers and fight to the death to defend the country for the Great Zhou."

After Er Gouzi thanked the emperor, the two discussed some details, and finally the monarch and the ministers were happy...

After leaving the palace, Er Gouzi returned to Sima Yi's mansion to stay temporarily.

Three days later, Emperor Longxing announced 89 charges against Shen Ruyuan, the governor of Zhongzhou, including treason.

On the same day, Ji Song, the palace guard, was sent to personally lead the elite of the palace to search Shen Ruyuan.

There were 28,657 people in Shen Ruyuan's family, all of whom were arrested.

Among them, 2,658 main culprits were beheaded.

The rest were sent to the army, exiled, forced to do labor, or sold to official prostitutes.

This time, the sudden outburst of the Longxing Holy Emperor shocked the court and the public.

No one expected that the emperor, who was usually easy to talk to, would suddenly be so cruel and kill people without mercy.

You know, the Shen family has two Yuanying cultivators, Shen Ruhai and Shen Ruyuan.

In addition, there are more than 20 Jindan, all of whom were killed, not one was spared.

So many masters were destroyed overnight.

The sudden attack of the Longxing Holy Emperor was indeed a great deterrent to the ministers in the court.

Many people who were used to being arrogant and domineering finally realized that the royal family was bigger than a lean camel.

Even if the current strength is not as good as before and cannot control the national situation, it is still no problem to deal with one or two families.

Fortunately, the Holy Emperor Longxing was more restrained this time and did not expand the scope of the killing. He only killed Shen Ruyuan's family and did not implicate other ministers in the court.

After killing Shen Ruyuan's family, the Holy Emperor Longxing immediately appointed Sima Yi as the temporary governor of Zhongzhou while the power of the killing was still there.

Zhongzhou, the closest territory to the capital, finally returned to the hands of the Holy Emperor Longxing.

Er Gouzi saw that the Holy Emperor Longxing was so sincere and helped Sima Yi and those dead officials to avenge, so he was ready to leave.

Before leaving, he went to the Prince of Qi's Mansion again.

Now the two decorations guarding the door did not dare to make things difficult for him, but welcomed him in enthusiastically like grandsons.

This person turned out to be the creditor of the Prince of Qi. After asking around, they found out that the Prince of Qi actually owed this person a life.

Such a person, they can't afford to offend.

"Brother Ji, I will be leaving the capital tomorrow. My sister will be staying in your house for the time being. Please help me take care of her."

"You can rest assured that your sister is my sister, you are mine, what are the welcome between the two brothers."

Ji Cang patted the shoulder of Erguzi, and said nothing.

"By the way, do you still have the dragon meat last time?"

"There is one thing, but not much, but the brothers settle accounts, mine is still mine."

"What's the matter with, have you been practicing for so many years, or only the foundation period?"

At that time, the two met each other for the first time. The two dogs were only in their tens.

After so many years, the two dogs have been repaired into the predecessor of Jin Dan.

With the resources owned by the royal family, Ji Cang should have broken through the Jindan period long ago.

Now there is still only the foundation of the foundation.

"well……"

Ji Cang heard a sigh of sigh.

"This matter is long."
