Mysterious Emperor: The Beginning of Anger Slaying the Demon Empress

Chapter 158 The hesitant Cao Zhang, the shock of the ministers!
the next morning,
East dawns.

After a day and night of extreme darkness, the dawn of the next day finally ushered in.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, as well as the patriarchs of the aristocratic families.

One by one, they all dressed neatly and left the house with solemn expressions.

Go straight to the palace.

At this time, Cao Zhang, who was sleeping late, was also awakened by the little wife in his arms.

Thinking of the pan-intestine battle last night.

Cao Zhang's expression was a little turbulent.

To be honest, he is really reluctant to part with the little wife in his arms now.

But when he thought that she was the daughter of Liu Zhen, the head of the Liu family, he gritted his teeth and stood up.

Under the service of my lovely wife, I got dressed.

He took the sword and left the house.

If he could really choose, he might really choose King Qi and choose to be with the aristocratic family.

Because the family provided the life he dreamed of.

The kind of life piled up with pure matter!

There is meat to eat every meal, the wife and children are hot on the kang, the power is in their hands, and a bunch of people praise it.

Is this life uncomfortable?
That's pretty cool!

But the reality is absolutely impossible for him to make such a choice.

As a general, you must first eat and live with your brothers, that is, fellow soldiers, so that the people under your command will truly admire you.

If you keep leaving the army.

Will they still be willing?

Will not!
Generals cannot leave the army.

It's like an official cannot be divorced from the people!

It's like a fish can't leave the water.

Cao Zhang sat on his horse and sighed leisurely.

Right when these days are all dreams.

For the little girl of the Liu family, for this well-behaved little wife, he really likes it.

However, the Liu family wanted to be an enemy of Emperor Wu.

This is for him.

It is difficult to choose.

Loyalty and filial piety have been in a dilemma since ancient times, and so is love.

Walking on the road, Cao Zhang was very tormented.

Today is the last day.

Emperor Wu warned him last night to let him take action today and strike with a thunderbolt if necessary.

But his heart was already shaking.

He was reluctant to part with such a life, and he was reluctant to part with his beautiful wife.

"What am I supposed to do?"

Cao Zhang hesitated.

Walking on the upward road that he has been walking for the past few months, he feels strange.

Feel helpless.

I also hope that this road can be extended.

Give him a little more time to think and think.

But it's a pity.

The road is short.

It's time for a cup of tea, and he has already walked to the front of Weiyang Palace, under the gate of the palace.

"General, general, what's wrong with you?"

The lieutenant Guan Ping next to him couldn't understand Cao Zhang's inner thoughts. He was loyal to Emperor Wu.

After Cao Zhang knew the news that Emperor Wu was not dead, he told several of them.

That's why he pretended to take refuge in the family with Cao Zhang and supported the so-called wise lord Qi Wang Zhang Jian.

"The general is hesitant, what should I do?"

"General, have you forgotten His Majesty? A word His Majesty once said?"

"What?"

The hesitant Cao Zhang immediately looked at Guan Ping.

"Your Majesty said that there is no woman in your heart who draws a sword and is a god of nature! General, don't you give up your ideals just for a woman! Besides, do you really like her?"

At this time, Guan Ping seemed unusually sober.

He knew that Cao Zhang didn't really like that girl, because if he really liked her, Cao Zhang wouldn't hesitate.

He had already confronted Emperor Wu.

He just hesitated whether Ruanxiang could continue to maintain it.

As the saying goes, the authorities are obsessed, and the observers are clear. Guan Ping naturally couldn't be more clear.

He said so.

Cao Zhang reacted immediately!

Yup!

There is no woman in the heart, and the sword is a natural god!
Recently, he has been lusting after women, and besides, he is only lusting after her beauty.

The love for her has not yet reached the depth of the soul.

The most terrible thing is that she just obeyed her father's order and served him purposefully.

Wait until things settle down.

She may not be as gentle and pleasant as she is today.

"General, if you break it, you will break it, and you will suffer from it! Your Majesty trusts you so much, you don't make a big mistake, otherwise don't blame my brother for being ruthless!"

As the adopted son of Guan Yu.

Guan Ping naturally inherited his father's loyalty.

He can understand Cao Zhang's momentary confusion.

But if Cao Zhang really betrayed the Lord and begged for glory, then he had no choice but to do it!

"Hahaha, Guan Ping, what are you talking about! How could this general do something wrong to His Majesty? You know, what you and I are today is all given by His Majesty!"

Cao Zhang laughed in an uproar.

He quickly figured out what was going on.

To Emperor Wu, he was absolutely loyal.

But in terms of beauty, ahem, he looks very much like his father.

Sure enough, like father, like son.

It's just that his father has a unique taste and likes wives.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and walked towards the Temple of Heaven in the palace tacitly.

Temple of Heaven,

As the name suggests.

It is a place used for worship.

It is also the place where the great Zou emperors of all dynasties swore oaths and prayed to the heavens at the beginning of their ascension to the throne.

The first step every emperor has to take before ascending the throne.

As a member of the Da Zou royal family, Qi Wang Zhang Jian naturally followed this process.

At this time, the Temple of Heaven is already overcrowded.

Civil and military officials, aristocratic families, including a basket of generals, the Imperial Forest Army, and Jin Yiwei, have all arrived in turn.

Qi Wang Zhang Jian prayed to heaven.

Take the oath of office.

All the ministers shouted long live, knelt down three times, bowed nine times and kowtowed six times.

Just wait until the last kowtow ceremony is completed.

Suddenly there was a voice they were familiar with.

"and many more!"

"Who?"

King Qi, who was being bowed down by the officials at this time, was naturally very angry.

He is feeling refreshed in his heart!
Just wait for the last kowtow ceremony to complete the enthronement!

Unexpectedly, there are still people who dare to come to disrupt the situation!

The ministers didn't care about it, and lowered their heads one by one, just as they were about to kowtow.

An inexplicable force lifted their necks abruptly.

"Don't kneel! I'm not dead yet, are you going to kneel down to a little King Qi?"

all of a sudden.

Howling wind.

It messed up the hair of every minister.

They stared in horror at the familiar figure who jumped out from behind King Qi Zhang Jian.

Zhang Jian also sensed someone behind him, so he looked back.

In an instant, he collapsed to the ground in fright.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"Hahaha, why, seeing Zhen, are you scared? Aren't you very proud just now?"

Looking at Emperor Wu, who was wearing a golden dragon robe and exuding a strong real dragon aura, Zhang Jian was so surprised that he didn't dare to speak for a while.

Yes!

He is afraid!

Scared to the extreme!
Don't look at him being very arrogant when Emperor Wu died, and he pushed all the blame to Emperor Wu.

But in front of Emperor Wu,

He is a younger brother.

Even if he is the cousin of Emperor Wu in terms of blood relationship!
"Ministers, why are you so afraid of me like King Qi?"

Emperor Wu's face was as usual, he was not angry, but smiled coquettishly.

Laughing so scary.

"Your Majesty, I dare not wait!"

"Your Majesty, I dare not wait!"

"Your Majesty, we have no such intentions!"

At this time, the ministers all laughed uglier than crying.

Their hearts were already terrified and trembling.

Damn it!
what happened?

Didn't Emperor Wu die?
Wasn't he stabbed to death?
There are dead bodies!

what happened?

Could it be that the corpse was cheated?
The defense line of the ministers collapsed at this moment, and Cao Zhang and others also pretended to be afraid.

After Emperor Wu finished laughing, he gave Cao Zhang a look.

Cao Zhang understood immediately.
