While Qian Wuque was shocked, the look in Zhao Shan's eyes instantly became fierce and unruly.
The matter has come to this, and he has no way out.
Qian Wuque sneered: "Zhao Shan, you predicted my intention in advance and used it to lay an ambush, which is really powerful. It's a pity that you forgot one thing. You and I are too close, and your reinforcements are too far away."
"Killing you, the emperor, is better than recruiting Zhuge Shangdu."
"kill!"
Qian Wuque ordered loudly.
He rushed out with his sword in hand, and ordered as he ran: "Everyone, listen, kill the emperor, and you will all get rewards from your respective masters. If you want benefits, then kill with all your strength."
Others in the crowd echoed, and people from all the surrounding kings came to kill them.
Zhao Shan was not of a defensive nature. When he saw Qian Wuque coming to kill him, he asked Marquis Zhou Hu to lead his soldiers to protect Zhuge Shang and strode forward with his sword in hand.
Qian Wuque rushed towards Zhao Shan, and was even more surprised to see that Zhao Shan not only did not retreat, but actually came towards him to kill him. Although he was fat, he was extremely agile. Several rabbits and falcons had already rushed in front of Zhao Shan.
"Zhao Shan, go to hell!"
Qian Wuque's eyes showed joy, and he held the sword in both hands and struck down.
As the steward of the King of Chu, Qian Wuque was not only good at welcoming people and sending them off, he was also skilled in martial arts, otherwise the King of Chu would not have sent him to Luoyang to handle matters.
Zhao Shan's eyes were cold, he raised his sword to block Qian Wuque's blow, and mocked: "Are you thinking too well?"
Qian Wuque was stunned for a moment.
His unparalleled offensive was actually blocked by Zhao Shan.
The next moment, Qian Wuque's expression changed slightly, and he felt a fierce force burst out from Zhao Shan's sword blade. The sword in his hand was swung away, and the empty door in his chest opened.
"The money is intact, it's time for me to take action."
Zhao Shan stepped forward, and when he got close to Qian Wuque, he slashed him with his sword.
clang!
The two swords collided, causing sparks to fly.
Qian Wuque's expression changed drastically, and he felt that Zhao Shan was overwhelmed. Under the impact of the overbearing force, Qian Wuque's hands holding the sword shattered, and his body couldn't stop kicking back.
puff!
Qian Wuque spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes were horrified, and his expression was even more incredible. Zhao Shan is the emperor. When an emperor spends his time hanging out in the harem, having sex with women, and working on documents and memorials, how can he have time to practice martial arts?
But is Zhao Shan so strong?
Qian Wuque made an instant decision to retreat, endured the pain and ran away. As soon as he took a step, his eyes suddenly opened wide, and a fiery red figure rushed towards him from directly in front of him.
"Those who offend His Majesty will be killed without mercy!"
Accompanied by a cold voice, the tip of the gun flew into the air, piercing Qian Wuque's chest with a thud, and then brought out a cloud of blood.
Qian Wuque fell to the ground in response, his eyes even more painful. Zhao Shan is domineering in martial arts, and the female generals under his command also have such strength. This is news that the King of Chu does not know, and it must be sent back. Unfortunately, he cannot deliver the news.
"Zhao Shan, you hide it so deeply."
Qian Wuque opened his eyes wide and shouted. The next moment, his neck tilted and he lost his breath.
Zhao Shan didn't even look at Qian Wuque, his eyes fell on Wei Fengqing. Wei Fengqing is dressed in armor, has a heroic appearance, and has a unique style.
Wei Fengqing turned over and dismounted and said, "I'm too late to save you, please forgive me."
Zhao Shan shook his head and replied: "Feng Qing came just in time. Kill all these people without leaving any one behind."
"As you command!"
Wei Fengqing continued to fight after receiving the order.
The kings' assassins besieged the carriage, but they were blocked by Zhou Huhou and twenty soldiers, and there was no progress. When Wei Fengqing's soldiers surrounded them, within a quarter of an hour, all the people gathered by Qian Wuque were wiped out.
Zhao Shan asked Wei Fengqing to dispose of the body, and then he and Zhuge Shang continued on their way.
The speed of the carriage slowed down a lot, and it was already evening when Zhao Shan returned to Luoyang. He settled Zhuge Shang and had dinner at Zhuge's house before taking Zhou Huhou back to the palace.
Return to the palace. It was already late at night.
Zhao Shan went straight to Cao Mengchan's bedroom. The young couple spent the whole afternoon apart. One day without seeing each other was like three autumns, so they were naturally very angry. After a while, Luan Feng was turned upside down, trying various concave and convex combinations of friction and impact, and it took a long time before he regained his composure.
After Cao Mengchan recovered from her limp state, she said that Cao Tong had settled in Luoyang.
But the Cao family is still in Longmen Mountain.
Zhao Shan was thinking about Cao Tong's affairs, and also thought about arranging Zhuge Shang tomorrow, so that he could also arrange Cao Tong's appointment and dismissal. Zhao Shan got up and arranged some arrangements before returning to the palace to sleep.
Early the next morning, Zhao Shan got up early to change clothes and go to court.
In the main hall, Xiao Yan, Du Gangfeng, Chen Buqi and other civil and military officials gathered together.
Zhao Shan is wearing a dragon robe and a crown with twelve crowns on his head, looking majestic and majestic. He sat directly above him, and there was silence in the hall, which was solemn and solemn.
Zhao Shan looked over and saw that in addition to the people he promoted, there were many people in the court who could not see their true identity, but who were superficially loyal to the court. These people still needed to be observed.
Zhang Xu stood beside Zhao Shan, and when he heard that there was something going on, he left the court. Officials in the court reported government affairs one by one.
Zhao Shan dealt with it quickly, and when the matter was dealt with, Zhao Shan changed the subject and said: "The great cadres are in ruins and are waiting to be revitalized. The government must promote talents and abilities. I have hired a great sage for the great cadres today. Come and tell Cao Tong Enter the court."
"Xuan Cao goes to the palace."
The eunuch went to deliver the order, and after a while, Cao Tong entered.
Cao Tong wore coarse linen clothes and his bun was fixed with a wooden hairpin, which made him look very simple. He entered the hall steadily, stood up and saluted Zhao Shan: "Cao Tong, a common man, pays homage to your majesty."
Zhao Shan nodded and said calmly, and then said directly: "Gong Cao is a famous scholar in the Qian Dynasty and is well known throughout the country. I have made Duke Cao the Minister of Rites, responsible for many matters in the Ministry of Rites. What do you think?"
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Xiao Yan was the first to express his stance.
Du Gangfeng followed: "Cao Gong is the leader of Confucianism. It is reasonable and reasonable for him to serve as the Minister of Rites. Your Majesty is wise."
The other officials all agreed, and none of them objected. Because Cao Tong's reputation is too great, and Cao Tong's granddaughter is already the queen, wouldn't it be against the queen to oppose Cao Tong now?
Zhao Shan arranged Cao Tong's official position, and Cao Tong directly attended and sat down.
Zhao Shan changed the topic and continued: "In addition to Duke Cao's arrangement, I also have one more thing. I want you to meet Zhuge Shang, my concubine, and let him talk about the strategy of enriching the country and strengthening the army."
"Come, tell Zhuge Shang to go to the palace."
After receiving the order, the eunuch immediately said loudly: "Xu Zhuge Shang comes to the palace."
Wow! !
In the main hall, discussions broke out instantly.
A few well-informed people know Zhuge Shang and some of Zhuge Shang's abilities. But most of the officials didn't know who Zhuge Shang was, so there was a lot of discussion in the hall.
While the discussion continued, a handsome figure of Fengshen appeared at the door of the hall.
Zhuge Shang, wearing a sky-blue robe and a turban on his head, strolled over. He is full of heaven, has a face like a crown jade, and eyes like stars. He attracts the attention of countless people when he appears, and many officials are impressed by him.
Zhuge Shang entered the main hall, stood up, and saluted: "I, Zhuge Shang, pay homage to Your Majesty."
Zhao Shan nodded with a smile and said: "Today I want to discuss the strategy of enriching the country and strengthening the army. Zhuge Qing is rich in knowledge and has the ability to manage the world. He will tell the princes in the court how to make Dagan strong."
Zhuge Shang smiled and said, "I accept the order."
When he turned around to face the officials in the court, Xiao Yan, Du Gangfeng, Chen Buqi and others all looked over. Everyone's eyes were curious, what on earth were Zhao Shan and Zhuge Shang, the two monarchs and ministers who sang in harmony, doing?
Zhuge Shang is just an executive now, so he can't be promoted quickly, right?
