Before the arrival of Emperor Taiyuan, Wei Yang Palace welcomed an unexpected person.

Ye Chengtai, the Marquis of the Ning Kingdom who hadn't been to the dynasty for many years!

His arrival caused Xu Han to be slightly stunned, but the civil and military officials in Wei Yang Palace were only slightly surprised and no longer paid any attention to him. In the end, Ye Chengtai was just an old minister who had lost his momentum. The role he could play in this dispute could be said to be negligible. Apart from surprise, he did not bring much feeling to the people present.

After that, the Taiyuan Emperor finally climbed onto the dragon chair with his hazy sleepy eyes under the countless cries of the crowd.

Everyone knelt down almost at the same time and shouted, "Long live my emperor."

In the end, this is just a formality. Long live it? Even the Lunar Temple's immortal couldn't survive the sixth Heavenly Tribulation, and he couldn't even do it at the age of a thousand. However, there was one person in the entire court who was truly terrified and sincere.

It was Zhu Shouzuo. At this moment, he fell to the ground with all his might. His voice was loud and clear. He could be said to be sincere and sincere, and his heart was towards the Sovereign King.

With Xu Han's previous experience, it wasn't surprising that he didn't look at Zhu Xian anymore. Instead, he peeked sideways at the Tai Yuan Emperor. Just as he had expected, this Taiyuan Emperor was the man he had met in Yanlai City. When he was sent to Big Yellow City, the eunuch in charge of delivering the imperial edict secretly handed Xu Han a dragon scale from a flood dragon. This was something the Taiyuan Emperor was sending him. Today, seeing it, he was sure of his guess. However, unlike the aura he had seen in Yanlai City, Emperor Taiyuan's expression was lazy, and he even felt drowsy.

"If you have something to play, then leave the court." At this moment, Emperor Taiyuan, the eunuch beside Yuwen Luo, let out a shrill sound. The Imperial Court was immediately silent, as if they were waiting for something.

After a few breaths, an old man in the crowd bowed and walked out. It was the Prime Minister of Great Zhou, Lord Zhang Xiang.

He cupped his hands, bent his body, and said in his somewhat aged voice, "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have something to play."

"What is it?" Yuwen Luo frowned, seemingly unhappy.

"In the battle of Big Yellow City, Manor Head Tiance Prefecture, Great Zhou Taiwei Xu Han, guarded Big Yellow City, repelled the 500,000 troops of the Xia Dynasty's Cui Court, and recovered the lost land of Jizhou. Today, he will return to the Face Saint Realm. Your Majesty, please investigate." Zhang Xiang hooked his head very low, almost parallel to the marble floor of Wei Yang Palace, and the old man in his voice could not be concealed.

"Huh?" Hearing this, Yuwen Luo's hazy sleepy eyes seemed to wake up a little. He raised his head and swept his gaze across the crowd before finally landing on Xu Han. "You are Xu Han?"

Hearing this, Xu Han hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands in response, "This lowly official greets His Majesty."

"Yes, young and promising. Not bad." Yuwen Luo nodded his head in satisfaction, but his gaze was still looking at Xu Han up and down, as if he was somewhat vigilant.

"Ai Qing doesn't seem to be old." Then, he asked seemingly without revealing any traces.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this lowly subject is eighteen this year." Although Xu Han was puzzled in his heart, he did not conceal anything. However, what he hadn't seen was that when he answered this question, Zhu Xian's expression in front of the crowd changed slightly, but his peculiar expression also disappeared in a flash.

Yuwen Luo, who had received this answer, turned his head to look at the eunuch beside him, but the eunuch shook his head without revealing any traces.

"Good! A young hero is truly worthy of being the pillar of our Great Zhou Empire. He deserves to be rewarded!" At that time, Yuwen Luo slapped the table in front of him and said loudly. The faint vigilance in his eyes suddenly dissipated at that moment, turning into a dense appreciation.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have something to play." But at this moment, Zhang Dongning, who was standing beside Zhu Xian, suddenly stepped out and walked to the front of the hall, standing side by side with his uncle Zhang.

Yuwen Luo, who had been interrupted, had an unhappy expression. He looked at Zhang Dongning and frowned.

"Aiqing, we'll talk about it later. Aiqing Xu will help me recover the lost ground for Great Zhou. Yes.."

"Reporting to His Majesty's official is about Xu Han's fornication with Great Zhou and the Mu Clan's remnants, Mu Qingshan." As one of the three dukes, Zhang Dongning interrupted the Emperor without hesitation and said loudly.

These words caused an uproar in the Imperial Court. However, they did not expect that this morning's court opening would be so popular.

One must know that this crime of adultery and traitor was enough to plagiarize the entire sect. With such a big hat on Xu Han's head, did Zhu Xian want to kill Xu Han with a hammer? When everyone thought of this, they all turned to look at Zhu Shouzuo. However, Zhu Xian had an honest expression. He stood at the side of Wei Yang Palace with his eyes, nose, and heart, as if everything that happened in front of him had nothing to do with him.

After such an uproar, everyone in the hall calmed down. They all turned to look at Xu Han. They were very curious about what this young master of the Tian Ce Mansion would do in the face of the Long Night Division pressing down on them step by step.

"Is Zhang Yushi saying that I have an affair with a criminal?" However, Xu Han did not disappoint the crowd. After a brief moment of silence, he walked out to the center of the hall and stood opposite Zhang Dongning.

Yuwen Luo, who was on the high platform, also seemed to see that Xu Han was confident. He put away the intention of interrupting. Instead, he looked at the two people on the stage with great interest, seemingly enjoying such a scene.

"Yes." Zhang Dongning was somewhat surprised by Xu Han's shocked appearance. However, after all, he had been in the bureaucracy for many years. How could he be intimidated by a young man like Xu Han? Immediately, he met Xu Han's gaze and responded in a deep voice.

"Then who is a rebel?" Xu Han asked.

"Back then, the son of the Mu King, Mu Qingshan."

"Where is he?"

"Jizhou Sword Dragon Pass."

"Alright, then please capture him and confront me." Xu Han replied calmly.

"Xu Han! This is the Great Zhou Imperial Palace, not a place for you to act rascally. Mu Qingshan currently holds 50,000 elites of the Mu Clan in Jizhou. Who would dare to capture him in the Great Zhou?"

Zhang Dongning's words were righteous and dignified.

However, Xu Han smiled faintly at Zhang Dongning, who looked like this, and his expression immediately became serious.

"Zhang Yushi said I was playing a rogue, then please ask the big yellow city was broken, the Azure Dragon Army died, fifty thousand Mu family army attached to Mu Qingshan, that I don't appease him back, don't want to play the name of capturing the thief to take him to court? Then he and the 50,000 elites were forced under Li Yulin's command, placing my Great Zhou under the iron hooves of the Xia Dynasty again? '"Is that what Zhang Yushi meant?" Xu Han asked, narrowing his eyes. "Zhang Yushi is a minister of the Imperial Court. I don't believe that you don't even understand this. Or perhaps, Zhang Yushi already understood it, but there are other plans?"

Xu Han's words almost struck home, causing Zhang Dongning's expression to change as he was about to say something.

But Xu Han obviously didn't want to give him another chance to speak. At that time, he turned around and cupped his hands towards Yuwen Luo as he said loudly.

"I thought that although Great Zhou relied on His Majesty's might and prosperity, the Xia Dynasty was eyeing them covetously. All the vassal kings in the Great Zhou Empire respected themselves and were prepared for danger. I beg His Majesty to pardon Mu Qingshan's sins and comfort him so that he can defend the Sword Dragon Pass for Great Zhou. This will relieve the external troubles and intimidate all vassal kings!"

"This!" Hearing this, Zhang Dongning's expression changed and he was about to step forward. However, at that time, Zhu Xian, who was beside him, suddenly extended his hand and grabbed it. Zhang Dongning was stunned. In his heart, he was a little doubtful about Zhu Xian's intentions, but he didn't dare to disobey. He could only silently retreat.

Yu Wenluo's eyes narrowed when he landed on the high platform. He then smiled and said, "Well, what Ai Qing said is very true, so follow Ai Qing's words."

..

This morning, although there were some twists and turns, it actually went smoothly to an unusual degree.

Apart from sending Zhang Dongning to obstruct him, the Long Night Division did not make any movements. Xu Han smoothly managed to get Mu Qingshan a proper name according to the plan. This might seem like a false name, but it was actually quite different from before. At the very least, there was an order from the Imperial Court that he was the new Northern Region King in the true sense of the word in Dazhou. He could recruit troops and gather troops from this, so he was no longer as cowardly as before.

Although Xu Han was puzzled by Zhu Xian's strange attitude, everything went smoothly. He heaved a sigh of relief and took this step. It was extremely important for the Tian Ce Mansion to establish itself in Chang'an. After all, with the support of 50,000 elites of the Mu Clan, the Tian Ce Mansion was no longer a rootless duckweed and had some say.

With such a good mood, Xu Han, Mr. Lu, and Ye Chengtai left Pu Tian Palace together. They happened to be returning to Tiance Prefecture when they saw the Prime Minister standing at the intersection, looking like he was waiting for them.

Xu Han was stunned, but Mr. Lu, who was beside him, nodded at him. He understood and wanted to see if the prime minister was an enemy or a friend, so he walked up alone.

"Xu Han greets the Prime Minister." He respectfully cupped his hands towards the other party.

In the early morning of September in Chang'an, the weather was cold. The old man who was over sixty years old wore thin clothes. Seeing him arrive, he smiled faintly, "Xu Taiwei is exceptionally intelligent. The Headmaster has found a good successor. This old man is very relieved."

"The prime minister is overpraised. I just don't know if the prime minister is waiting for me here. What's the matter?"

Xu Han respectfully returned the courtesy, but he didn't have much intention of acting like a coward. Instead, he asked straightforwardly.

The old prime minister was not angry at Xu Han's attitude. He smiled and said, "This old man is just asking for a piece of advice from Manor Chief Xu?"

"Huh? What advice?"

"In the Wood Forest, the wolf's roar can suppress the fierce tiger; in the lake of turbid water, the flood dragon python can mix with the dragon species."

"Thus, under the Tiger Hidden Wolf Pack, it is hard to tell whether the Dragon Hidden Dragon Python is real

" Manor Chief Xu, you have to be careful."

After saying this, Zhang Xiang handed over something from his sleeve.

Xu Han was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously formed a memorial. He opened it and saw that it was written in neat handwriting,

The Tian Ce Mansion was protected by the Dragon Qi. It was extremely green, and it already had the appearance of a flood dragon.

Zong Zheng Yu Wen Cheng presented.

Xu Han looked at the handwriting and his heart trembled. He seemed to have thought of something and was about to raise his head to ask when he saw that the Prime Minister had already staggered into the lively bazaar in Chang'an early in the morning.

His body was thin and slightly bent, but his footsteps were extremely steady and heavy, as if he did not look like an old man over sixty.
