Mysterious Emperor: The Beginning of Anger Slaying the Demon Empress

Chapter 9 Take back the military power!

Hua Mulan's speed was as fast as lightning.

Ordinary naked eyes can't capture her trajectory at all.

But seeing the pink figure flashing like that, several headless corpses appeared on the ground.

"I am invincible, you are free!"

She was so confident and arrogant that the group of menacing assassins were too busy avoiding to fight her head-on.

"Whoa!"

She pulled out the epee she was carrying behind her back, and gave a sudden stop. Several assassins who couldn't avoid it died on the spot.

"So strong!"

Although their group of assassins are mortal warriors who would never regret a hundred deaths, they don't want to just die worthless and meaningless.

Whoosh whoosh!
The shadow arrows came, and they oiled the soles of their feet, just wanting to evacuate.

"I want to go, but there is no way!"

At this time, Cao Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, and shouted: "Tiger and leopard cavalry attack!"

"Da da da da!"

Inside the Golden Luan Hall, the sound of horseshoes urged.

"what?"

The assassin wanted to leave, but he couldn't.

The gate of the palace behind them was completely controlled by the tiger and leopard riders. Even with wings, they couldn't fly over, and there was a ruthless person like Hua Mulan pinching behind them.

Unless they are God.

It's a pity that their cultivation is not to mention going to the sky, even entering the earth is difficult.

"Can't we all go?"

The assassin is lonely, the plan was so thorough last night, why did such an accident happen today?
They were originally just the last protest procedure used by ministers to resist the strengthening of imperial power. Unexpectedly, the established goal of beating the emperor was not achieved, but instead allowed the emperor to further control the right to speak.

This was something that Zhuge An, the prime minister who had been killed by the dog, had never expected.

"Hua Mulan, Cao Zhang obeys the order, these assassins will be killed on the spot, and no one will be left alive!"

Emperor Wu's tone, sitting on the dragon chair, was very flat.

But it was the flat tone that was the scariest.

Hearing this group of worried ministers, their thighs trembled like people who couldn't stop urinating for a long time, and their faces turned purple.

"promise!"

The execution efficiency of Hua Mulan and Cao Zhang was quite high. After a while, the assassins were slaughtered bloodily.

In front of these ministers, the scene of massacre was extremely horrific.

Some old ministers were so frightened that their legs went limp and they collapsed to the ground.

"Your Majesty, the assassins have been killed by us!"

"Ok!"

Emperor Wu nodded in satisfaction. He had promised to reward Cao Zhang yesterday.

However, before conferring the reward, he still made a preparation.

"System, what is the loyalty of Cao Zhang and Hua Mulan?"

[Ding, Cao Zhang and Hua Mulan are absolutely loyal to their hosts! 】

"Oh, that would be great!"

Since they are absolutely loyal, the military power can be controlled by the two of them. After all, the tiger and leopard cavalry with a hundred thousand incarnations, whoever is in command, will grow in ambition and become a prince of the same place, right?
At that time, it would be a joke to listen to the tune but not to the announcement, just like Wu Sangui in the late Ming Dynasty.

"Cao Zhang, your contribution is not small. You should be the first to suppress the demon queen and search for the remaining party of the demon queen yesterday!"

"Your Majesty is serious, this is the duty of the last general!"

Cao Zhang was very grateful, knelt on the ground, and his diligent appearance warmed Emperor Wu's heart. It's still comfortable for his own people to use.

This group of courtiers whom he was worried about had to give up one by one. They wanted to change the entire court and turn it into the system of three provinces and six ministries he was familiar with, to strengthen his arbitrary imperial power.

"Haha, Ziwen (Cao Zhang's word) don't be polite to me, I think you are the first, you are the first!"

Emperor Wu stood up, walked down the imperial steps slowly, and walked to Cao Zhang's side.

He held his hand, pulled him, and walked to the front of the officials.

"I spent three years trying my best to investigate all the ills in Da Zou's country, and then the demon queen rebelled. What you did made me ashamed. As a minister of Da Zou, I am afraid of a mere sect. How do I treat you? Wait?"

Emperor Wu Zhang Tianran paused. He looked at Cao Zhang in the blink of an eye, then pointed at him and said, "Fortunately, there is Cao Zhang. Cao Ziwen won my heart, and he commanded a hundred thousand tiger and leopard riders to rescue him. I think his merit should be the first. , promoted him to be the Great General of Protecting the Nation, and the head coach of Tiger and Leopard Riders, do you have any objections?"

Good guy!
As soon as Emperor Wu made a decision, after this series of operations, the group of ministers did not say a word.

Everyone nodded submissively and said yes, without any opinion of their own.

You must know that in terms of the controller of an elite army on weekdays, these ministers must have some deep backgrounds.

Even the [-] Huashen monk troops in the place where Emperor Taizu founded the country were mixed. Originally, there was no tiger talisman restriction, but in order to limit the imperial power, the ministers added the tiger talisman restriction.

In this way, the words of the emperor can be made ineffective at certain special times.

For example, large-scale reforms have made the court system more and more bloated, and the problem of redundant officials has become more and more acute.

When and how the tiger talisman disappears, the civil official group has a plan.

The one hundred thousand tiger and leopard riders this time, they can't get involved now.

This is also one of the reasons why Emperor Wu Zhang Tianran pretended to be so tough and cold-blooded today. After all, the three major problems he wants to solve in this grand court meeting must be solved under the current situation.

The most prominent issue at present is military power.

Most of the military power, the emperor currently does not have.

Yes, the current military power is in the hands of the civilian group in the court.

The only card that Emperor Wu could play was the [-] tiger and leopard cavalry he had summoned, but the tiger and leopard cavalry were tiger and leopard cavalry after all, and they could not replace Da Zou's original troops to do the original work.

"Since you have no objection, then I will make the appointment like this!"

He looked around at the ministers kneeling on the ground around him, and he already had some confidence in his heart.

Since you take the tough but not the soft, then I don't need to talk nonsense.

"The officers and soldiers of the four local towns were set up during the reign of the late emperor. If I remember correctly, there should be 8 people, right? General?"

He looked at the white-haired old man kneeling beside him, and his gaze made him tremble with fright. When he stood up, he was slow, as if he was being stared at by some wild beast.

"Return to Your Majesty, that's right!"

"Hmm! That's right, can the general's current physical condition still control the officers and soldiers of the four towns?"

"Ah? The last general can't, the last general can't! The last general is old and frail, I implore His Majesty to find someone else to take over!"

The general is now over 70 years old, and his physical fitness has declined extremely fast. The reason why he has been in the position of the general for a long time and refuses to come down is because he wants to continue to pave the way for his younger generations through the military power of the officers and soldiers of the four towns. Just on the road.

Unfortunately, his idea was wrong.

Zhang Tianran doesn't want to see the emergence of a family of warlords whose father dies and sons replace him. The four towns, Zhenbei, Zhenxi, Zhennan, Zhendong, and four armies, each with 2 people, are the most elite troops before the Great Zou Empire. .

If he has been controlled by outsiders for a long time, how can he, the emperor, feel at ease?
However, the very observant general was still very cunning, and he was willing to hand over the military power directly. This was something Emperor Wu did not expect, and would take back the military power of the four towns so easily.

"If that's the case, then I'll agree! The general is old and frail, and I'm not sympathetic. In this way, you hand over the seal and go back to rest!"
