Chapter 362
Wen Zhong rode into the city on a black unicorn, and he had already reported that the Majesty had brought all the officials to meet the Grand Master at the Meridian Gate.

"In this way, don't let your majesty wait for a long time, all the generals will follow me to the Meridian Gate." Grand Master Wen said, immediately set up Mo Qilin, and led the generals to the Meridian Gate, when he saw Zhuo Ao leading Huang Feihu Waiting for a group of ministers to wait outside the Meridian Gate.

"Your Majesty is the king of a country, how can you come to the Meridian Gate to greet him in person?" Wen Zhong rushed to the Meridian Gate, quickly got off his saddle, and bowed down to Zhuo Ao.

"The grand master has worked hard for the country and fought in all directions, but I sit here and enjoy the success. I just come out to greet him, and take a few more steps. It doesn't get in the way." Zhuo Ao shook his head and smiled.

Wen Zhong said a few words politely, Wen Zhongcai pointed to the surrounding chariots and horses that were constantly being sent into the palace gate and said: "My lord, I don't know what these are..."

"You Hun's family property." Zhuo Ao briefly said the previous things, looked at Wen Zhong and said, "I regret not listening to the grand master's words, and I just found out today that this bastard cheated and searched for a lot of people. Seeing it with my own eyes, it is really hard to believe that this is the loyal minister I have relied on for many years!"

Wen Zhong kept a distance of half a step from Zhuo Ao, and said with a smile: "Na Youhun said something right, you know people, you don't know your heart, and the king seldom goes out of the palace, so I don't know that Youhun is evil Row."

Zhuo Ao nodded: "Let's not talk about these things, Grand Master has just returned to court, should let Grand Master rest, but today there are many disasters and the country is in turmoil, but there are many things that need to be discussed with Grand Master."

"Chen, dare not obey orders." Wen Zhong said with a gratified smile.

Many years ago, in the world of A Chinese Ghost Story, Zhuo Ao and Wen Zhong fought for the luck of the world, killing blood all over the mountains and rivers. In the end, Zhuo Ao was even forced by Wen Zhong to flee. Who would have thought that after a thousand years When the two meet again, there will be such a harmonious scene. Every time I think of this, I always sigh the wonder of the world.

The two chatted happily, but they frightened Fei Zhong among the officials.

You Hun's fate is still in front of his eyes. The great king in front of him, Da Yi, not only went to the court for two consecutive days after picking up the star building, but also changed his behavior from being incompetent in the past. At this opportunity, the old matter was brought up again, and he was impeached, so what should he do?

Looking at the two people in front of him, Fei Zhong thought to himself, in the current world situation, Xiqi has two-thirds. In the past, Xibohou Jichang also received some favors from me, so why not spend his family money to invest in him? It's better than being here in fear.

Thinking of this, Fei Zhong glanced at Zhuo Ao who seemed to be unaware, slowed down his pace calmly, quietly withdrew from the group of officials, waited for the group of officials to go far away, turned around quickly, and ran outside the palace gate .

In front, Zhuo Ao was still talking and laughing with Wen Zhong, but Huang Feihu quietly approached him and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Fei Zhong has quietly escaped from the palace just now."

"According to plan." Zhuo Ao sighed.

"Yes." Huang Feihu agreed, and at the same time withdrew from the list of officials, and walked outside.

"Your Majesty doesn't seem to want to kill Fei Zhong?" Wen Zhong looked at Zhuo Ao suspiciously, "Could it be that the matter of You Hun hasn't alerted Your Majesty yet?"

"That's not the case." Zhuo Ao turned his head and glanced at the officials behind him: "The punishment of overturning the cannon and burning the basin has frightened the officials. Now that the officials have gone to the palace, they have not spoken a single word of advice. The officials have already disappointed me. But this is my fault, and I can't blame the officials. I already know about Fei Zhong and You Hun, but I planned to keep one of them to supervise the officials, but it's a pity..."

To put it bluntly, Zhuo Ao just needs such a villain, to grab the pigtails of all the officials in the court, force them to speak, and then win the hearts of the officials little by little. Unfortunately, Fei Zhong is too timid. At that time, Zhuo Ao had already discovered that Fei Zhong had the intention of fleeing, so he secretly ordered Huang Feihu to prepare troops, and if Fei Zhong wanted to escape, he would take him down. If Fei Zhong did not escape, he would be able to live longer.

"It turns out that your Majesty's move has such a profound meaning." Wen Zhong sighed.

"It doesn't mean anything deeply, it's just a remedy. There are some things that the Grand Master doesn't know, and you and I will discuss them in detail later." Zhuo Ao shook his head and said.

While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the main hall. This time Wen Zhong made a great contribution to conquering the East China Sea, which was a reward. Zhuo Ao ordered people to withdraw ten thousand gold from the treasury that had just been enriched, and return it to Wen Zhong before returning it. The remaining five thousand gold was used to reward the soldiers of the three armies, and then Zhuo Ao ordered to quickly exchange the gold and silver treasures confiscated by Fei Zhong's family into food and grass, and quickly went to all parties for disaster relief.

Although there is still no voice in the court, it is better than before. Guo Chu, who is in charge of the treasury, is at least very active. Coupled with Wen Zhong's drive, some old officials from Wei Ziqi also start to speak. It's no longer as lifeless as before.

After discussing for a while, someone came to report suddenly, Huang Feihu escorted Fei Zhong to see him, and Zhuo Ao ordered someone to summon him.

"Your Majesty, before Fei Zhong didn't know why, he left quietly and acted in a sneaky way. I secretly ordered someone to go and check, but I saw that after Fei Zhong returned home, he packed up his family's belongings and took his family to Xiqi. He was intercepted by the minister at Sanshan Pass. Bring to the gate of the palace and wait for your majesty to deal with it." Huang Feihu stood on the hall and cupped his hands to Zhuo Ao.

"Fei Qing's family, why are you in such a hurry?" Zhuo Ao looked at Fei Zhong and sighed softly, "I ask myself that I treat you well, but I don't want you to secretly collude with Xi Qi, it really makes my heart ache!"

Wen Zhong raised his thick eyebrows, keenly caught the deep meaning in Zhuo Ao's words, turned his head to look at Fei Zhong, and said sharply: "What kind of collusion do you have with Xiqi? But you secretly cast Xiqi, lurking in my Cheng Tang, intends to subvert me and become Tang Sheji!?"

Wen Zhong gave Fei Zhong a cold look, and was so frightened that he was out of his wits. He quickly fell to his knees and shouted for injustice, but Wen Zhong couldn't help but put him in jail.

"Your Majesty, I think that Fei Zhong and You Hun are of the same breed. The two of them may have already had an affair with Xi Qi. This matter should be strictly investigated." Wen Zhong bowed.

Zhuo Ao praised secretly in his heart, but he said with a heartbroken expression on his face: "I have a lot of trust in these two people. For many years, every time the two have memorials, I have always agreed. I don't want to, but I have raised two white-eyed wolves. Come here, first rush Fei Zhong’s family assets into the treasury, and after the inventory, together with You Hun’s family assets, exchange them for food and grass to help the people. Guo Chu, you manage the treasury, and you will handle this matter yourself. People are framed."

"Observe the order." Guo Chu hurriedly left after bowing to thank him.

"Okay, today's court meeting is over, all the ministers have been busy with me for a long time, now it's past noon, I think my stomach is empty, so stay in the palace and eat with me." Zhuo Ao waved his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Baiguan hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.

Zhuo Ao ordered people to prepare food, and together with Wen Zhong, Huang Feihu and all the officials, went to the side hall for dinner.

"Your Majesty, the Empress and Concubine Xi invite you to have dinner at the Xingxing Terrace." Zhuo Ao was having a banquet with all the officials when a palace official hurried to the side hall to report.

"No rules, didn't you see that I'm having a meal with all the ministers?" Zhuo Ao frowned, put down his glass of wine, thought for a while and said, "I've passed on my decree, starting from today, all concubines in the Empress Palace are not allowed to engage in government affairs. Among them, up to the empress and concubines, down to the palace maids, no one is allowed to leave the harem without my permission, and anyone who disobeys the order will be beheaded!"

"Yes, I know my mistake." Zhuo Ao's gaze swept the palace man out of his wits in fright, and he knelt down to plead guilty.

It turned out that Daji realized something was wrong after picking up the star tower on New Year's Day. King Zhou didn't see her and Ximei for two consecutive days. Going to find King Zhou, based on her understanding of King Zhou, within a day, the other party will definitely come to find her for pleasure, but now two days have passed, and there is no news at all, so I can't help but feel anxious, so I sent the palace man Asked, who knew it would be worse, Zhuo Ao scolded him, and made an order not to allow the harem to interfere in politics, but Daji never expected.

"Not going down yet." Zhuo Ao waved his hand and ordered the palace servants to be kicked out.

The officials watched Zhuo Ao's move, many people were excited, His Majesty was finally willing to change his ways.

Wen Zhongfu smiled and said: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. Although there is no precedent, it is not unreasonable."

Shangchao is different from other dynasties, and there are many traces left by the matriarchal society. The status of women is not low in this era. Even in Shangchao, there have been many female generals who have left history, so there is no harem. He said, but at this time, all the officials in the court were persecuted by the demon concubine, but they quite agreed with this point, and no one objected.

"Okay, the state affairs are discussed in the court, and now it's rare for us monarchs and ministers to get together, so we don't talk about those troublesome things, gentlemen, please." Zhuo Ao raised his wine glass, looked at the ministers and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." With the previous passage, the gap between the monarch and his ministers has been reduced a lot, and the officials have let go a lot, and the atmosphere has become more enthusiastic. Not only Huang Feihu and other ministers were drunk , even many civil servants were in a good mood, but they couldn't drink enough. A banquet ended after drinking for two hours. Zhuo Ao sent guards to send a group of ministers back to the mansion. It is at a loss to talk about any more state affairs.

Wen Zhong walked out of the palace gate with the help of several guards, and a gust of breeze blew him sober up a little bit, the mana in his body was destroyed, and the smell of alcohol disappeared.

"Your Majesty once said that you have something to discuss with me." Patting his head, Wen Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it, His Majesty rarely has the heart to work hard, and is rarely happy today. If there is anything, we can discuss it tomorrow."

Going straight to Mo Qilin's home, there was trouble on the way, and suddenly saw a booth full of people, on the booth, there were four words of counting the secrets, and he couldn't help laughing: "What a big tone, who is bluffing and deceiving in front of you? "

A guard glanced at it and said with a smile: "The Grand Master doesn't know something. This man is a foreigner. He came here two days ago. He is penniless. He makes a living by divination, so he has some skills. Every time I say something, everything is right, I remember this person's name is strange, his surname is Zhuge, his first name is Liang, his name is Kongming, and he calls himself Wolong."

"Interesting." Wen Zhong was in a good mood at the moment, and couldn't help laughing: "Alright, let me meet him for a while. If I really have the ability, I will recommend it to the king tomorrow." After speaking, he went straight to the booth.
