Chapter 83 A Great Victory (Addition [-] for the Silver League)
"Calculating my son's Wudang army, this is the end!"

"Tell British Duke, if he refuses to accept it, go to the bamboo forest to reason with my grandfather!"

"Don't be an army, I'm afraid I can't help but beat him to death too."

Jiang Yuhu snorted coldly, said a few words, lightly clamped the horse's belly, held a spear, and walked away.

Leaving a place of horrified state dignitaries.

In the state government office, Concubine De was sitting in the back hall, her face expressionless, her hands clenched into her sleeves, tightly clenched into fists.

In the eyes, the charming autumn water has turned into a bottomless pool, and the beautiful face is like a calm sea, below which the waves are raging.

With a strong mind like her, she will not be shaken by Lu Fengyuan's words.

But the humiliation is real.

However, she couldn't get angry, because what Lu Fengyuan said might be deliberately provoking her. If she really lost her head and did something irreparable, I'm afraid she would be completely defeated in the competition with Concubine Shu.

In a word, Lu Fengyuan is not stupid, his arrogance and domineering are all well calculated.

Just like his collusion with the rebels, the calculation was very good. As long as the Zheng family succeeds and he escapes back to Zhongjing, he is just a defeated general who has been deceived.

I can see into the other party's thinking, but there is nothing I can do about it, because the other party is right, what is honor?One with the country! 300 years of continuous inheritance!
The sorrow of the weak is that you can't take a wrong step, you must always win, and once you lose, you will never recover.

A deep sense of powerlessness arose in Concubine De's heart.

Li Tianfeng and others can still be comforted and helped by her, but who can comfort her?

She couldn't help but think of Xia Jingyun who left angrily tonight, and the words he confessed when he left, and shook her head immediately.

He is still an immature young man now, and he still needs her as an elder sister to shelter him from the wind and rain, so how can he count on him for everything!
He has done well enough.

She let out a long sigh and was about to get up when she heard a sudden commotion outside.

She was about to get up when Li Tianfeng stumbled and rushed in with a bit of a loss of composure, "Mother, Lu Fengyuan was killed!"

Concubine De's beautiful eyes widened instantly, "Who moved the hand?"

She subconsciously thought, it couldn't be Xia Jingyun, could it?
How could this child be so reckless!
Then I began to think about how I would try my best to keep him.

Before she could figure out why, Li Tianfeng had already opened his mouth and replied: "If you go back to your mother, it was General Jiang Yuhu, the commander of the Wudang Army, who came and killed him on the spot in full view of everyone."

"What?" De Fei exclaimed again.

Li Tianfeng hurriedly explained the situation just now, and while Concubine De was shocked, her mood gradually improved.

With a bit of joy, she forced herself to maintain a clear mind, and immediately gave a few instructions.

A moment later, Lu Fengyuan's body was carried into the lobby of the state office.

The dignitaries and gentry in the middle of the state who surrounded Lu Fengyuan before leaving sat back to their original seats with complicated expressions.

Some of the old men who were spattered with blood were even more frightened.

They usually regard human life as nothing, but when they saw a person dying right in front of them, they finally lost their composure.

Li Tianfeng looked at the corpse below, and a thought was circling in his mind, why did Jiang Yuhu take action?

Originally, Lu Fengyuan's operation in the lobby had already beaten the concubine's family including himself to the ground, but Jiang Yuhu rushed to him and killed Lu Fengyuan on the spot.

This begs the question, is Jiang Yuhu also picking sides?Or in other words, the Jiang family has already chosen sides?

This is not a random guess. First of all, according to Jiang Ancheng's news, Xia Jingyun and Jiang Yuhu had a very happy conversation, and Jiang Yuhu even hosted a banquet.

Secondly, Xia Yunfei joined the Wudang Army. Aside from the fact that Jiang Yuhu followed the old practice of Wudang Army and recruited troops from Liangjiazi after suppressing the rebellion, Xia Yunfei was just like Song Renxia and others, who was directly inserted into the Wudang Army as an officer. Jiang Yuhu did not show any dissatisfaction after arriving, but acquiesced to the matter.

Coupled with this shot, it's hard not to let people guess!
But immediately he couldn't believe it. With the identity of the Jiang family, they were detached, and the military god who conquered all directions could even directly proclaim himself emperor. How could the Jiang family participate in this kind of imperial power struggle?

But no matter what, it is a great thing that the Jiang family and the empress have established some kind of friendly relationship after all.

The same idea was also turning in the minds of a group of gentry.

They re-examined the energy of the Concubine De, and gathered the confidence that had already dissipated.

Do you want to place a bet?
In the silence, Li Tianfeng said: "The concubine de concubine has an order to confiscate her corpse and transport it back to Zhongjing. The whole matter will be decided by Your Majesty and the Central Committee after the empress returns to Beijing. Do you have any objections?"

A group of officials and gentry who were full of thoughts at the moment naturally had nothing to say, "Your Majesty is holy!"

Li Tianfeng looked around, and said: "Besides, since you are all here, what the empress means is, let's talk about a few things. If there is anything wrong, we can decide on it before she leaves."

Everyone's hearts were stunned, and they instantly understood that De Concubine Empress was going to follow Yu Wei and let them cut her flesh!
Li Tianfeng didn't give them any time to prepare for the tandem, and looked directly at an old man who was the leader, "Master Liu, I remember that my younger brother is very talented and learned, and has made a lot of achievements in the post of Jinhe County Magistrate. I plan to transfer him to Qianwei County. What do you think?"

The old man whose name was selected suddenly turned pale. Even though Jinhe is only a county, it is extremely rich in minerals.

His younger brother's income from serving as the magistrate of Jinhe County for so many years is already an important source of income for the clan. Did you cut this piece of meat a little bit hard?

"Lord Li, you are the governor of the state. The promotion of this official is up to you. However, my brother who is incompetent has little talent and learning, so he may not be qualified for a high position. If you really want to promote him, in order not to harm the people, he has no choice but to resign."

The meaning is very clear, no!
Of course Li Tianfeng could force it directly, and it was impossible for the other party to stay in the Jinhe county magistrate's position, but it would inevitably cause a lot of trouble.

But there are so many dignitaries in the state, and this family has one more, adding up, I am afraid it will be a mess.

Therefore, he can only try to pull it off first and reach an agreement, instead of using the power of the official to force it.

This is the so-called big event and small meeting.

And after Master Liu declined him, everyone declined Li Tianfeng's several proposals one after another. Of course, some of them agreed, but when it came to key interests, these old guys still refused to budge.

Li Tianfeng sighed secretly, to put it bluntly, their prestige is still not enough!

He was thinking about how to further persuade them, or what benefits to exchange, whether it was threats or reasons, he had to complete the set task.

An unexpected person came over. Feng Xiuyun, the lady's attendant of the concubine De, held her head high, her demeanor was calm and arrogant, she didn't even look at the group of dignitaries in the audience, she nodded slightly towards Li Tianfeng, "Lord Li, someone found a lot of food boxes in the prison just now, and the empress asked if I would bring them to you?"

Li Tianfeng was slightly taken aback, but found that the expressions of everyone in the audience changed instantly.

He understood in an instant that in the face of Concubine De's weak political strength, he, Lu Fengyuan, could naturally rely on his honorable status to get rid of the crime of being a traitor, but Jiang Yuhu had already made a move, and the name of colluding with the traitor, Lu Fengyuan, was confirmed. If this is the case, the food boxes in the prison are evidence of their collusion with Lu Fengyuan!
Concubine De can't rule the Lu family, can't she rule them?
At this moment, Li Tianfeng completely gave up that little bit of pride in his heart, and just wanted to shout, the empress is too powerful!

He looked down with a smile, "Everyone, what do you think?"

That Lord Liu stood up helplessly and slapped his head, "Oh, Lord Li, I suddenly felt that my younger brother shouldn't be so selfish since he is doing his best for the country. I will write a letter to persuade him and make him change his mind."

Li Tianfeng smiled playfully, "Really? Then Master Liu must succeed in persuading him!"

"sure!"

Li Tianfeng rolled his eyes, "Tsk, I suddenly remembered that you seem to have a brother-in-law who is the county magistrate in Fengchi?"

Master Liu twitched the corners of his mouth, remorseful, and at the same time he called Li Tianfeng a grandson in his heart, "My lord, he is getting old now, and he wants to go back to Zhoucheng to find an errand, please ask your lord to arrange it."

Li Tianfeng smiled, "It's easy to say, easy to say."

About a quarter of an hour later, Li Tianfeng stood at the gate of the state government office, waving his hands enthusiastically, "Everyone, slow down!"

Seeing the sedan chairs swaying away, Li Tianfeng hurried back to the back hall overjoyed.

As expected, Concubine De hadn't left yet, he said excitedly and admiringly: "Your Majesty, your tricks are amazing, and our situation in the state will suddenly become clear."

Concubine De said calmly: "It's not my fault, these are all discussed with me before Gao Yang left."

Li Tianfeng was taken aback, "Master Xia?"

Why, do you still look down on my Gao Yang?
Concubine De glanced at him, "Otherwise, why do you think Jiang Yuhu would make a move?"

Li Tianfeng felt emotional, and finally agreed with Wei Yuanzhi's words.

"Your Majesty, with the help of Mr. Xia, is like a tiger with wings added!"

Concubine De smiled happily, "I think so too."

This chaotic and absurd night finally came to an end with Concubine De's satisfied smile.

　1 words, no more.On the last day of the end of the month, I feel that this amount of updates has a little bit of confidence to ask for a vote.
