Just as Zhang Julu was looking outside the palace, he was worried that a war would break out.
Zhao Chun, who was sitting on the dragon chair, seemed to have remembered something. His eyes lit up and he spoke slowly.
"Gu Qingfeng's talent in swordsmanship is so great that even Han Shengxuan, who has mastered the Zhixuan realm, was defeated by him. He is indeed a rare talent that can only be seen in a century."
"If I, Liyang, can acquire such a great talent, the country's destiny will definitely be greatly improved!"
"My beloved sirs, what do you think, that I can confer him the title of General of the Right Royal Forest?"
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone in the hall was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but feel a wave of excitement in their hearts.
Your Majesty... is this move to give that boy the title of General of the Imperial Forest?
This official position is of the third rank and holds great power, even higher than many of their officials here!
None of them expected that the emperor would pay so much attention to Gu Qingfeng!
But after thinking about it, they were instantly relieved.
After all, Gu Qingfeng's strength is obvious to all. In just half a month, he broke through from a ninth-grade martial artist to Zhixuan, and even to the sea-viewing realm. Even Han Diao Temple was no match for him and was killed by him with one sword. kill!
With such a terrifying talent in martial arts, it would not be too much to confer the right title to a right Yulin general, it could even be said to be a bit of an indignity.
From this, they could not imagine that Gu Qingfeng had such an amazing talent at such a young age, and how far he would grow in the future?
The key is.
They all knew that Gu Qingfeng's best friend was the best swordsman in the world, Li Chungang!
If he is really allowed to join the court as an official, it means that their Liyang Dynasty has also become closer to the old sword god.
In the future, we can also use some of his power when dealing with Beimang and other dynasties!
Thinking of this, many officials made suggestions one after another.
"Your Majesty, Gu Qingfeng is so skilled and talented, and his future will be even more immeasurable! It is indeed a wise choice to let him serve as an official in the court and continue to conquer the world for me, Liyang!"
"Your Majesty is truly a wise man. This son's swordsmanship is so astonishing, and he has the protection of a sword god like Li Chungang. It is my great fortune, Li Yang, that he can serve as General You Yulin!"
"Gu Qingfeng was driven out by Xu Xiao, and he must have an indelible hatred for him. Recruiting him as an official in the court can also help us fight against Xu Xiao!"
"General You Yulin's official position is indeed not low, but Gu Qingfeng is young and promising, and his martial arts will definitely reach a higher level in the future. I think he should be allowed to hold a higher official position!"
“……”
In fact, the reason why they were so excited about the proposal also had a purpose.
Because they can clearly see that Gu Qingfeng has huge potential and is definitely a rare talent.
If you can help him say a few nice words in front of the Holy Emperor at this time, he might become an official in the court in the future, and you can get some benefits from it.
However.
What they don't know is.
Gu Qingfeng never had the idea of becoming an official in the court.
In his opinion.
There are no real friends in the temple, only interests and intrigues!
Moreover, the current emperor was also ruthless and extremely suspicious, and even loyal ministers like Zhang Julu would never completely trust him.
If he really steps into the imperial court, he doesn't know how many dangers are waiting for him!
Temples are much more sinister than Jianghu!
Just when all the courtiers were discussing endlessly.
Zhang Julu shook his head and suddenly said.
"Your Majesty, I think this matter is inappropriate!"
Hear this.
The courtiers who were discussing were stunned for a moment, and all looked at him.
Zhao Chun also looked at him with some confusion and asked with a slight frown.
"Gu Qingfeng is extremely talented and is a swordsman recognized by Li Chungang. What does Prime Minister Zhang think is wrong?"
His eyes were focused on Zhang Julu, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
He was indeed dissatisfied with this prime minister who came from a poor family, and even thought that if he hadn't hindered him, he might have taken back the military power from Xu Xiao through war!
Now that I heard that he had objections to his decision, my dissatisfaction deepened.
Zhang Julu also knew that Zhao Chun was dissatisfied with him, but he didn't care and just bowed and said.
"This boy has astonishing swordsmanship at such a young age. He is indeed something out of the ordinary."
"But it is an indisputable fact that he killed Han Diao Si and the second prince in Beiliang."
"If he is recruited into the court, Xu Xiao will use this as an excuse to refute His Majesty and lead his army to kill Gu Qingfeng. From this, it will appear that we want to take back one-third of the military power from him. It’s more difficult.”
"Furthermore, if this matter is made public, people all over the world will criticize Liyang for it. Instead of executing the real culprit who killed the second prince, and instead hold the King of Beiliang accountable, wouldn't it look ridiculous?"
"Therefore, we should give up on a great talent like Gu Qingfeng, rather than compete for him."
He knew that although Zhao Chun was ruthless, he also valued talents.
But Zhao Kai was killed by Gu Qingfeng himself after all, and no one can change this fact.
If he is really recruited into the palace and named General You Yulin, Xu Xiao will definitely find this excuse to refute Zhao Chun!
As a result, their plan to weaken the Xu family's power will be shattered!
Hear Zhang Julu’s explanation.
Everyone thought about it and thought it made sense.
In addition to the fact that the second prince Zhao Kai was killed by Gu Qingfeng himself, it needs to be considered.
Han Diao Temple is also an important factor that cannot be ignored!
To know.
During his lifetime, Han Diao Temple was in charge of one hundred thousand eunuchs in the Liyang Dynasty!
These one hundred thousand eunuchs were extremely loyal to him and admired his extraordinary strength.
If Gu Qingfeng, the real murderer of Han Diao Temple, is really allowed to enter the court as an official, these 100,000 eunuchs will definitely be dissatisfied and even make a fuss in the court!
In short, this is not a wise choice!
After Zhao Chun heard Zhang Julu's explanation, he immediately fell into silence.
What he really valued was not just Gu Qingfeng's amazing swordsmanship talent.
What's more important is his lifelong friend behind him, Li Chungang!
With such a strong background, not only the major aristocratic families did not dare to provoke him easily, but also the Liyang royal family had to be wary.
If he really becomes the Right Royal Forest General, other dynasties will naturally be afraid!
Zhao Chun originally planned to use Gu Qingfeng's power to continue to conquer the world and expand the territory of the Liyang Dynasty, but he did not expect that there would be such terrible drawbacks later.
He hesitated.
He still sighed slightly.
"Then just follow what the prime minister said and take back the decision you just made."
But after thinking for a while, a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
"However, it is a good thing not to allow him to become an official in the court."
"He is regarded as an abandoned son by Xu Xiao, so he naturally harbors resentment towards the Xu family. By leaving him in Beiliang to deal with Xu Xiao for me, I can sit back and watch the tigers fight and reap the benefits!"
