Chapter 561

"Enlightenment and wisdom, civil and military achievements, virtues are passed down by the people, and will live forever and be the supreme emperor. Immortal blessings will last forever, and I will live with the heavens."

In the court, after Ergouzi gave the ceremony, he presented the battle to Emperor Longxing Sheng of Emperor Longzhou's army with great defeat to the demon.

"Recently, some demons from the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdoms have been dissatisfied with Wang Hua and led demon soldiers to invade the territory. Under the guidance of the emperor, they are planning and guiding.

I led the loyal and kind people in Qingzhou to sacrifice their lives and fight bloody battles. After half a year of hard work, I finally defeated the demon.

In this battle, one of the middle-stage He Ming of the Yuanying in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom’s arm…”

Emperor Longxing Sheng looked at this battle report and felt more happy the more he looked, and asked a close servant to recite the chant loudly.

When the ministers in the court heard that Zhang Ergou successfully killed Heming with an arm, they all showed surprise and incredible expressions.

He Ming is also a very famous senior in the immortal cultivation world, and has the middle stage of Nascent Soul cultivation.

According to unreliable news, there are at least four early-stage monks in the Nascent Soul stage who died at He Ming's hands.

"This is serious?"

"Falsely claiming military achievements is a crime of deceiving the king, and he wants to behead his head."

Everyone in the court glanced at Ergouzi, obviously not very convinced, and felt that he was falsely reporting his military achievements.

Just by those few onions and garlic in Qingzhou, how could it be better than Heming and even want to kill the arm of the man?

Heming didn't slaughter the entire Qingzhou, it was all good.

"Everyone knows that I, Zhang Ergou, are honest and responsible persons. I have never lie since I was a child, and everything I say is true."

Ergouzi looked honest and honest, and he really didn't look like a lie.

Moreover, the coquettishness that Zhang Ergou brags in the past was later realized.

"Today, I happened to bring He Ming's arm, so please take a look at the Holy Emperor Longxing!"

Ergouzi said, took out a wooden box and opened it gently, and saw that inside it was broken into two pieces of arms.

Suddenly, all the ministers of the court stumbled their spiritual sense into the wooden box and checked it carefully.

After seeing this, I found that judging from the remaining spiritual power in this arm, it should be from a middle-stage powerful man in the Nascent Soul stage.

It can also be judged from the shape and characteristics of the arm that it should be a demon from the Crane Tribe.

Prove that Zhang Ergou really did not lie.

"This is a master in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. He has become famous in the immortal cultivation world for thousands of years. How did you do it?"

This is a doubt in many people's minds. Ergouzi seems to be in the middle stage of the Golden Pill.

According to rumors, he has a daughter-in-law in the Nascent Soul stage, but he has just been promoted not long ago and should not be able to beat He Ming.

Just because Zhang Ergou's eight-legged wife can persevere under He Ming's hands, how could she cut off an arm even if she had the ability?

"There is nothing else. Just be loyal to the Emperor Longxing. Whenever you encounter any disaster, silently recite the reputation of Emperor Longxing, and you will be able to produce infinite power in your body.

Reciting the reputation of the Holy Emperor Longxing can overcome all disasters. Just recite silently from time to time, and sincerely, it can purify the mind and heal all the injuries and diseases in the world. ”

Zhang Ergou, who had just looked honest and honest, now started the nonsense mode again.

But he was so serious when he talked nonsense, saying it in a firm tone with his honest expression, just like explaining a fact.

Everyone knows that this matter is impossible, but at this moment in the court, in front of Emperor Longxing, it is impossible to refute it.

He could only curse in his heart. A simple and honest person who looked honest and honest, when he flattered the emperor, he was so shameless and shameless.

"I look at the appearance of this arm, it seems like I have used a substitute technique?"

Sure enough, there was a crouching tiger and hidden dragon in the court, and someone soon saw the clues here.

"It's impossible. If you have to force He Ming to use the substitute technique, your strength must be at least far better than He Ming."

At this time, more people looked at Zhang Ergou with suspicion, and even if he pulled his eight-legged wife, he would not be able to do it.

"This lord has good eyesight, and that's true. If the old thief He Ming had not used the substitute technique at that time, he would have been killed by me with one sword."

“I know you guys may not believe it.

In fact, as long as you are loyal to the Holy Emperor Longxing and always recite the reputation of the Holy Emperor Longxing in your heart, you will gain infinite power and bless yourself, and you will never be detrimental to your future! ”

Ergouzi was determined. I just said that anyway. He was too lazy to explain to you whether you believe it or not.

In the court, all kinds of speculations appeared in the hearts of the ministers. Some people guessed that it was possible that Ergouzi asked the Queen Mother to help.

Only Emperor Longxing Sheng, even though he knew that Ergouzi's words might not be true, he was happy to hear it.

"Hahaha... Zhang Aiqing is indeed my lucky general!"

"I haven't finished reading yet, keep reading!"

"yes!"

So, the close attendant held Ergouzi's battle report and continued to read.

"Kill 20 demons' golden elixirs, kill 3,000 foundation-building, and kill 100,000 ordinary demon soldiers..."

Because the arms of the middle-stage strong man in the Nascent Soul just now were too amazing, although the subsequent battle reports were severely flooded by Zhang Ergou, not many people had already carefully investigated it.

"Hahaha, Zhang Aiqing is really a pillar of the country, an unparalleled national scholar, and a famous general of Zhongxing..."

When Zhang Ergou is surrounded by enemies and other court officials are unwilling to contribute, the victory achieved by Zhang Ergou is even more dazzling.

Emperor Longxing was not stingy with his praises at all and praised Zhang Ergou very much.

It made the other ministers in the court sound so sad.

He thought to himself that Zhang Ergou is the old man, but he just relies on women to make a living.

I just don't want to contribute. If I do, I will definitely make greater contributions.

"Since Lord Zhang has such ability, there are now barbarians in the north and sea tribes in the east. Please help Lord Zhang to pacify the surrounding areas for the Great Zhou."

Hearing that the Holy Emperor Longxing kept praising Zhang Ergou, a minister was not happy at this time and said deliberately.

Er Gouzi looked at the minister with a sidelong look. He was the Minister of War, who was in a high position and had great power. He was in the same group with Xia Mingyuan, the former Qingzhou, and General Wang in the north.

"Yes, please help Lord Zhang to share the country's worries."

"Please help Lord Zhang to drive out foreign threats."

"Lord Zhang, you shouldn't refuse, right?"

These people now took this opportunity to instigate Er Gouzi to take on the task of defending the borders of the country.

So that they can continue to live at home, recuperate, and rest assured.

They don't like this kind of life that requires fighting to the death with foreign enemies.

Er Gouzi glanced at the expressions of the ministers in the court, and it was clear that they were instigating him to rush to the front and serve as cannon fodder for everyone.

"Hahaha... Ridiculous!"

Everyone turned their heads and saw that the person who laughed was Chen Hongye, the master of King Qi.

"General Wang, who was already famous in the Jindan stage, is a rare genius in the world of immortal cultivation.

Now he is in the middle stage of Yuanying, with 100,000 soldiers stationed in the north, consuming countless spiritual stones and spiritual medicine resources of the court every year.

Now he needs Lord Zhang of Qingzhou to stand up for him and stop the invasion of the barbarians."

Chen Hongye's words almost directly said that General Wang was a waste.

Er Gouzi nodded silently in his heart. Fatty Chen's father was still so combative and said what he wanted to say but was not very convenient to say.

"There are also Wuzhou, Yongzhou, Daliangzhou...

Which of these places has not invested a lot of resources and raised a large number of troops, and usually desperately asks for benefits from the court.

Now that the country is in crisis and people are needed, they all become turtles."

Chen Hongye not only spoke for Er Gouzi, but also for his son.

If these people had not all become turtles, Fatty Chen would not have had such a hard time in the East China Sea battlefield.

I heard that he almost died last time, fortunately Er Gouzi and his wife passed by the battlefield and helped him.

"Chen Hongye, stop slandering people, which civil and military officials in the court are not loyal to the country."

"It's just that there are inconveniences and incapability. It's not that I don't want to do it, but that I can't do it."

"If you Chen Hongye have the ability, why don't you go to the East China Sea to fight with the sea tribe?"

Originally, these people wanted to carry Er Gouzi to fight to the death, but now Chen Hongye jumped out and started to attack Chen Hongye one by one.

"Let's go. I will go to the battlefield in the East China Sea tomorrow. Even if I risk my life, it is better than being a coward."

"Your Majesty, I want to go to the East China Sea to kill the enemy and fight side by side with the National Defense Army. Please grant me your permission."

"Approved!"

The Holy Emperor Longxing nodded and agreed to Chen Hongye's request.

"I will go to the East China Sea to fight tomorrow. What are your plans, you cowards?"

Chen Hongye looked at the ministers in the court provocatively at this time. He had been unhappy with these people for a long time.

Anyway, his son was fighting there and would die if he was not careful. It was meaningless for him, an old man, to stay in the court and live a stable life.

Now that he has made a decision, his thoughts are much clearer.

"Lord Chen is brave and resourceful. I admire him. But I have my own duties to do. If I can't get away, I can't accompany you."

These ministers in the court squeezed Chen Hongye to go to the battlefield, and they themselves would definitely not go.

"To defend the borders and the country for the court, we still need pillars like Lord Chen and Lord Zhang."

"Please also donate to the country... and share the country's worries."

After squeezing Chen Hongye, these people continued to flatter Er Gouzi and tricked him into working for the court.

"I, Zhang Er Gou, have received the emperor's grace many times, and I always have the thought of serving the country in my heart. I wish I could shed all my blood.

It's no problem to let them go to the north to resist the barbarians, but the soldiers under my command are poor and don't even have food to eat every day.

Since General Wang, who is guarding the north, is powerless, how about giving me all the resources they enjoy?"

Er Gouzi learned from intelligence that General Wang not only asked for a lot of benefits from the court every year, but also collected a large amount of money and property in Jizhou and Daliangzhou.

The last time he talked about this matter with Emperor Longxing Sheng, he forgot to ask for benefits. Every time he thought about it afterwards, he felt heartbroken and felt more and more at a loss.

Since these ministers asked him to go to the north to fight, they must take this opportunity to take General Wang's share of benefits.

Several ministers in the court looked at each other, exchanged glances several times, and then looked at Er Gouzi's small body grid, who was only in the Jindan period.

They quickly reached a consensus and remained silent.

Everyone could guess that Emperor Longxing would agree to Er Gouzi's request.

For them, as long as they remained silent and did not object, it would be considered as tacit agreement, and it would be easy to pass the resolution.

"Approved!"

"Appoint Zhang Er Gou as the General of Zhenbei. From now on, Zhang Er Gou will lead his troops to Jizhou and Daliangzhou in the north to resist the invasion of the barbarians.

Zhang Er Gou will receive the military pay that General Wang's troops had received in the past, and can collect anti-barbarian taxes, barbarian taxes, and levy anti-barbarian corvée in Jizhou and Daliangzhou."

When an army is stationed in a place, it has the right to collect part of the local taxes.

Er Gouzi forgot to ask for it last time, and this time he finally asked for it in front of the civil and military officials of the whole court.

By the way, he also won the title of General Zhenbei for himself.

"The Holy Emperor Longxing is wise..."
