Unexpectedly, after Ruda entered the main hall where the monarchs and ministers gathered, he did not file a complaint against them, but directly asked Zonglu: "My dear emperor, I will inform you that I will confer Zhangxuan as the general of Tongtian Civil and Military Affairs. Do you agree?" ?”
When the ministers heard this, they secretly thought that Ruda's behavior was unwise, and they all worried about him. The prince didn't want to hear about this matter from the beginning. The last time he ordered someone to drag him out, this time it might not just be as simple as dragging him out. He might even be killed in a rage.
To everyone's surprise, Zong Lu was not angry after hearing this. Instead, he said with a smile: "Ruda, last time I was in a bad mood and was rude, and I didn't have the patience to listen to what you said. I'll do it first." I apologize to you. Now, I want to hear you tell the whole story of the incident, so that I and everyone can have a complete understanding of Zhang Xuan."
When the ministers heard this, they were all surprised, but they couldn't figure out the reason for Zonglu's change of attitude. They had no choice but to suppress their confusion and listen to Ruda's story.
The conversation between Lu Da and Zong Lu was exactly the same as the conversation between Wen Xu and Sima Letian.
When the ministers learned that the king of Badan had given Zhang Xuan half-emperor treatment, they became even more shocked. One of them came out and said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, the rebellion of the king of Badan has exceeded people's imagination. It has no influence on the dynasty." The destruction of decency has reached its pinnacle, it is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world, and it is really undesirable!"
Ruda glared at the minister who spoke, pretending to fight him desperately, but did not dare to make a sudden move.
Zong Lu glanced at the man, then at the others, and said, "I think what the King of Badan did is not excessive at all. Not only is it not excessive, but it is also not strong enough. Think about it, that model of human beings, the worldly master Zhang Xuan , single-handedly saved a country, how can thousands of troops match such a performance? If Zhang Xuan hadn't acted righteously, the entire Badain Kingdom would have become a world of monsters, and the lives of all people would be miserable and miserable. The king of Bataan Kingdom will take the throne If you give it to him, how can you repay him for all his kindness!"
After hearing this, Luda was so happy that he jumped several heights in succession. However, due to lack of physical strength, he fainted on the spot.
Zonglu hurriedly ordered people to carry Ruda down for treatment.
At this moment, a person hurriedly came in from outside the palace. Before he could reach His Majesty, he shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, a great victory in Dongjun, two big monsters will be killed!"
When the ministers heard this, they immediately started making noises, with joy on their faces. This was the first victory achieved since the imperial court sent troops to kill monsters, and they were delighted from the bottom of their hearts.
If he hadn't had the in-depth conversation with Zhang Xuan last night, Zong Lu would definitely have been extremely happy. However, through the conversation with Zhang Xuan, Zong Lu understood that the troops he sent actually did not have the ability to kill monsters. He wrote down what he heard The result of killing the two big monsters was nothing more than the soldiers shooting arrows at the two dead monsters that fell from the sky and then taking them as their own victory.
The real cause of death of the two monsters was that they were attacked and killed by the big soul slave monsters driven by Zhang Xuan.
Zong Lu was about to ask about the whole story in detail, but he heard such good news one after another in the following time, leaving him no time to ask in detail.
The avalanche of good news came one after another, which only meant that Zhang Xuan did not lie to him. The great soul slave monsters driven by Zhang Xuan were extremely efficient in killing monsters, not that the combat power of the troops he sent was unparalleled.
Of course, he did not blame those soldiers for lying about military information. Those soldiers risked their lives to exterminate monsters everywhere. It was very hard. Even if they achieved such false results, they could at least boost their own morale and prevent them from being dejected because they had nothing to gain all day long.
This uniform report completely disrupted the rhythm of the court meeting, so Zonglu ordered people to guard the palace door to prevent subsequent reporters from entering.
The ministers were quite puzzled by his move. Tang Yin, the chief scholar and minister of Pingzhang, went out to report: "Your Majesty, the frequent reports of good news from the front line are exciting things. Why did you suddenly stop the officials who were reporting from continuing to report?" Where's the report?"
"Oh, I'm afraid I'll make a bigger and bigger joke and it won't end in the end!" Zong Lu responded with a sigh.
"A joke?" Tang Yin was shocked when he heard this, "Your Majesty, these good news are all real results of the war and have nothing to do with jokes. Why do you say that?"
Zong Lu glanced at Tang Yin, frowned and said: "Everyone, you might as well think about it. Our soldiers have not achieved any results for a long time, but now they suddenly have a lot of results. Don't you think there is something fishy about it? It's them. Their combat power suddenly soared, or did they suddenly have the means to deal with monsters?"
After everyone heard the words and thought about it carefully, they couldn't help but think that Zong Lu's words were quite reasonable. Over the past few years, the imperial court has invested a large amount of troops to exterminate monsters, but there has been no news of any monsters being destroyed. All the news is that some soldiers were tortured to death by monsters, and therefore there has always been a sense of sadness hanging over the court. atmosphere.
But now, there are so many good news coming like a snowflake, which is obviously unreasonable. If it is said that this is the result of the soldiers' accumulated experience, it is obviously not true, because the courtiers can judge the abilities of those soldiers even if they are not particularly knowledgeable. Since Zhenri was busy destroying monsters, or in other words, busy avoiding being destroyed by monsters in turn, those soldiers were what they were before and what they are now, and there was no chance to make a big difference. Naturally, there was no way to talk about thin hair.
They all understand this truth, but they were dazzled by the success stories that came one after another. They lost their minds for a moment and fell into blind joy. They ignored it for the moment. When Zong Lu asked, they immediately recovered. wide awake.
After waking up, he suddenly fell into confusion.
"Your Majesty, if you say that those monsters were not destroyed by our soldiers, then I don't understand." Tang Yin blinked and said, "So far, the only monster-killing forces we have deployed are those soldiers. The only power is those soldiers, and no one else has the ability to destroy monsters. If those monsters are not destroyed by soldiers who specialize in destroying monsters, then who will be destroyed by them? Could it be that God cannot bear to see the people of the country suffering from monsters? To poison them, to brazenly destroy them?"
"Huh, God is so far away, how can he care about the affairs of the human world!" Zong Lu said, "The affairs of the human world must be solved by humans themselves. The water from the distance of the sky cannot quench the thirst of human beings."
Tang Yin saw that Zong Lu's words were so erratic, so he planned to break the casserole and ask the truth, and continued to ask: "Your Majesty, can you be more specific so that we can fully understand it?"
"Of course I will be more specific. Do you think today's court meeting is just for retreat?" Zong Lu responded, "You should know that I had a life-and-death contest with the monsters last night. I survived, but the monsters died. Aren't you surprised by this result? As soon as you entered the court, you said that if you survive a catastrophe, you will have good fortune, and in your words you seem to think that I survived by luck, but this is not the case. "
"Ah, I understand!" Tang Yin said, "Your Majesty was able to win the battle with monsters because you have the magical power to defeat monsters. You have the confidence to defeat them from the beginning, so you are fearless and calm in the face of danger. Accept the challenge.”
"Nonsense!" Zong Lu couldn't help but uttered a curse word, "The reason why I survived by chance is because there was a powerful man who could subjugate demons. Who is this person? He came from Lu, the envoy of Badan Kingdom. You should be able to guess it from Da’s description.”
"Your Majesty, do you mean that the person who rescued you was Zhang Xuan?" Tang Yin asked with wide eyes.
"That's right, it's Hero Zhang Xuanzhang!" Zong Lu responded loudly, "In addition to saving me, Hero Zhang also dispatched powerful demon-killing forces to destroy demons all over Fu Lao Kingdom. Those good news that came like a snowflake are actually It’s not the results of the soldiers we sent out, but the results of Master Zhang’s demon-killing results!”
I see!
After hearing this, everyone seemed to really understand. They either booed or started talking among themselves.
