After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

This powerful aura made everyone hold their breath, and the long-lost feeling of oppression returned to the court.

Lu Yuan never spoke harshly, even his voice was gentle and courteous. At first glance, his gentle smile seemed to be doting, but it made everyone feel as if a sharp knife was hanging over their heads.

There was total silence in the Golden Palace.

Lu Yuan walked to the center and repeated with a smile: "Your Majesty, I am back."

The young emperor said in a daze: "Just come back."

Lu Yuan straightened the cuffs of his court robes and said casually, "During my absence, some dirty things ran into the house. I cleaned up the house and came to court late. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Cleaning up the mess? Isn't this a clear admission that he was the one who did what happened last night?

Coupled with his fearless look, it is clear that he is saying: I killed the man, what can you do to me?

Arrogant!

Too arrogant!

All the civil and military officials in the court gnashed their teeth.

Those officials who did not betray Lu Yuan because of fear or because they did not have enough time, now felt a sense of relief at having escaped death.

Lu Yuan smiled and asked, "General Zhou, Jingzhao Yin. What important matter were you discussing just now?"

General Zhou cleared his throat and looked at Jingzhao Yin.

Jingzhao Yin pretended to be dead.

It was Minister Xing who spoke up and told the story of how several court officials and several royal merchants were murdered overnight. Since there were no clues left at the scene, the murderer could not be identified based on the knife marks alone.

Lu Yuan said, "Jingzhao Yin, the murders happened in your jurisdiction, you must investigate carefully. In addition, since the matter is of great importance, how about the Dali Temple also get involved in the investigation?"

The Ministry of Justice is in charge of criminal law and prison administration. Although it also handles cases, cases are basically closed when they reach it and are only referred to the Ministry of Justice for review, such as the imperial edict issued by the retired emperor.

The Ministry of Justice will review it and if there is no problem, it will be assigned for execution.

What could the Jingzhao Yin and the Dali Temple Minister say? They could only bite the bullet and take the case.

They both knew very well that the case would soon be solved, but Lu Yuan would never be implicated.

It took two months to eliminate half of his followers, but after he came back, instead of taking his time and planning before taking action, he raised his butcher knife in a domineering manner and hunted down the betrayers one by one!

Even if he is seriously injured, he will never hide his edge. He would rather die standing than live in humiliation!

The worst that can happen is that both sides will be destroyed, but I want to die with dignity!

They had long realized that Lu Yuan was a lunatic, but every time, Lu Yuan was crazier than they imagined!

Lu Yuan took in everyone's fear and gnashing of teeth, raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction, and looked at the young emperor in the wheelchair again, as if he had just remembered to ask for the other party's opinion.

"Ah, Your Majesty, do you have any objections?"

The young emperor smiled and said, "Father Shang, what you said is exactly what I think. Father Shang, you have been away for so long and finally came back. I missed you very much. I will immediately hold a banquet to welcome you and the soldiers."

Lu Yuan simply showed up at the court session and did not even sit in the seat next to the emperor. He handed in a list of rewards and honors and left the court on the grounds of being unwell.

General Zhou looked at the elders of the two dynasties standing beside him and said, "Old Yang, didn't you say last time that if His Majesty didn't punish Lu Yuan, you would run into a wall and die in the Golden Throne Hall?"

Yang Ge Lao's eyes flashed: "Old, when did I say that!"

General Zhou looked at Censor Wang on the other side and said, "Sir Wang, you love to report Lu Yuan the most. Why don't you report him this time?"

Censor Wang waved his sleeves and said, "I am reporting someone and I should also provide evidence, okay?"

He never gets involved in matters without evidence.

On the contrary, the evidence was irrefutable, and he even sent his own father to jail!

After the court session, the young emperor summoned Zhang Feihu.

Zhang Feihu has been guarding the border all year round and has few opportunities to see the emperor. The last person who sat in the imperial study was the retired emperor, and now he is the retired emperor's son.

"I pay homage to Your Majesty."

Zhang Feihu saluted.

"General Zhang, please stand up." said the young emperor.

There were also the Minister of War and several other military ministers in the imperial study.

Zhang Feihu greeted everyone.

The young emperor first praised him highly, and then asked, "General Song is not on the list of rewards this time. Was he omitted?"

Zhang Feihu told the story of Song Biao's disobedience to military orders.

The Minister of War said politely: "The Grand Commander has never been on the battlefield and lacks experience. General Song also considered the overall situation and did not attack the city immediately. It is understandable."

Zhang Feihu said, "I strongly disagree with what you said! Although the Grand Commander is a little bit worse than me in terms of using troops like a god... but the Grand Commander knows how to use people, is resourceful, has great foresight, and is good at planning. Which of the soldiers does not respect him? Old Song wants to show him some power, I understand, then let's use military achievements to speak for ourselves! Deliberately losing and delaying military intelligence, such means are really despicable!"

It is said that Lu Yuan deliberately suppressed those who were at odds with him, but Han Ci ranked first in the battle of Feng County on the list.

The Minister of War and Zhang Feihu were old acquaintances. He glanced at Zhang Feihu and said, "You are speaking more elegantly."

Zhang Feihu patted his chest and said, "The Grand Commander said that military commanders must also study more!"

Zhang Feihu also saw Han Ci's name and said, "General Han's assassination should have nothing to do with the Grand Commander. The Grand Commander is not that kind of person."

After that, the young emperor asked about the battle situation at the border, including the negotiations with the King of Qi of Northern Liang. Zhang Feihu told him everything. Although he was guarding outside the tent during the negotiations, he indeed saw the King of Qi come out in a rage, as if he had a lot of anger in his heart but had nowhere to vent it, and wanted to kill someone but didn't dare to.

The Minister of War asked, "So, it was really Beiliang that the Grand Commander persuaded to surrender?"

Zhang Feihu looked at him in shock. "How can this be false? There are 60,000 troops watching us! Also, I, Zhang, want to correct you. It's not about persuading them to surrender, it's about defeating them! To defeat the enemy without fighting is the best of all strategies!"

Afterwards, Zhang Feihu proudly recounted many of Lu Yuan's deeds, and everyone felt that the Lu Yuan he was talking about was not the same Lu Yuan they knew.

When Lu Yuan led his troops to the border, everyone thought that he was overconfident and reckless, and that he would definitely learn a severe lesson. When he came back, he would find that his lair had been destroyed and the situation was hopeless.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yuan not only made great contributions, but also won the hearts and morale of the people at the border.

"Who is the heir of Yinhu?"

The young emperor asked.

Zhang Feihu said: "Oh, Meng Xiaojiu!"

"Who is Meng Xiaojiu?" The young emperor had never heard of this person.

Zhang Feihu laughed and said, "The Grand Commander's guards!"

After Zhang Feihu left, the Minister of War said earnestly: "No one in the court can restrain Lu Yuan."

The young emperor looked towards the western region and said, "Call the prime minister back to the court."

Outside the South City Gate, a man in black clothes and white hair looked at the towering city walls and said with a long sigh, "We are finally in the capital. Should we go see the Monkey's daughter first, or should we go find the little Tiger?"
