He didn't care about dukes and marquises. After all, he was a man in the capital, and the difference between a duke and a marquis didn't matter.

There are a lot of red tape on the human side, and there are strict rules and regulations for various promotions. At the same time, your family background will also be considered. It is absolutely unrealistic to be crowned king. Low magistrate.

Unexpectedly, he was still demoted to the rank of Marquis. Although it was clearly because of the killing of Yi Zhibing, as long as the emperor was willing, he could investigate the matter of the Sang family first.

But the emperor punished him before the investigation came out. Perhaps Yi Chun and others felt that the emperor was protecting him, but Zaan knew very well that it was only because the emperor didn't want to make him a duke.

I had a drink with Sang Hong before and chatted about this emperor. Although he can be regarded as a great talent and strategy, he is too suspicious and has an extremely cold personality.

This time it became clear that Zhao Hao wanted to take the credit for the Yaozu's nephew's tribute as his own. If he gave himself too high a reward, people would think that the credit belonged to him, which he absolutely could not tolerate.

Just can you get a better title, Phoenix Man, Cuckold, Uncle Daji, and now there is another Shenhou, who will be next time?

Seeing his face turning black, Zhao Hao only thought that he was dissatisfied with this, and couldn't help but feel a little proud. No matter how this little guy turns around, isn't the future of this little guy in my mind?

King Qi looked playful, he naturally saw the emperor's secret suppression, Zaan must be dissatisfied, thinking about taking this opportunity to win him over to deal with the emperor together?

But this idea was stifled as soon as it came up. This kid is a disaster star. It's not that I never thought of wooing him, but every time I get involved with him, it's nothing good. He is also the one who caused my power to turn from prosperity to decline. The guy who hates ghosts and abandonment deserves what he has done.

Even Bi Ziang and many other people who were in the same camp as Zaan in a certain sense breathed a sigh of relief. If Zaan was named Duke, they would feel a little ashamed.

Everyone in the court was satisfied, but Yi Chun was not satisfied. His son's life was easily exposed like this?

He wanted to say something more, but the emperor frowned, and now even those who were in the same camp as him came out to warn him.

In fact, in the eyes of most people, he had already paid for his son's life with the title of duke, and it would be too much to be dissatisfied.

This world is like this, everything has a measure, and life is priceless is just what people talk about, but in fact, everyone has a steelyard in their hearts.

Everyone knew Yi Zhibing's character well, so most people believed Za'an's words, so he deserved to die.

Feeling the emperor's dissatisfaction, Yi Chun's heart was cold, and she knew that the emperor was in high spirits now, and if he continued to entangle and disrupt his grand plan of enshrining Zen, he might be in danger.

In desperation, he could only accept his fate, and could only stare at Zu'an bitterly.

Anger value from Yichun +555+555+555...

Zaun looked calm from beginning to end, as if he had expected this.

Then the court began to discuss the Yaozu's affairs lively again. Many people asked about Zuan's relevant information.

After the court meeting ended, all the ministers came to congratulate Zu'an, no matter whether they liked him or hated him, they all had to admit now that his status was very important in the court.

Zu'an responded politely, and was soon passed on by the little eunuch, and the emperor summoned him in the imperial study.

Zuan's heart trembled, and he followed to the Imperial Study Room.

This is said to be the Imperial Study Room, but Zhao Hao has actually transformed it into a practice retreat. Only a few trusted ministers are eligible to be summoned here.

After Zu'an saluted, he quickly said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Sang is innocent. Those who colluded with the demon clan to murder the mission are absolutely nonsense."

"I have my own measure, and I have already sent someone to investigate." Zhao Hao said casually and stared at him, "How did the Demon Emperor die, tell me the specific details."

As the only opponent in the current world, the Demon Emperor died unexpectedly. Doesn't that prove that he may also have an accident due to the same reason?

Zaan had already prepared, so he filled in many details in the secret realm, which was not mentioned in the court.

Of course, his own existence was omitted, but the role of various immortals in the secret realm was strongly emphasized.

Hearing this, Zhao Hao's eyes burst into light, and soon he couldn't sit still anymore. He paced back and forth in the study, his chest rising and falling proved how excited he was at this moment: "I didn't expect there to be immortals in this world!"

Like the Demon Emperor, he has been trapped in the current realm for many years. Although he has seen some records in the history books, the more he gets to the back, the more he feels that those are illusory legends, and he even suspects that there is no way ahead.

How can he not be excited when he learns that there really are immortals.

Zu'an hurriedly said: "At that time, the Demon Emperor was also very excited, but it was because of this curiosity that killed him... Later, the road between heaven and earth was cut off, and the unknown place was completely closed. It is estimated that it will not be able to open again for thousands of years. "

He was worried that Zhao Hao had to go and see for himself on a whim. Now that the old demon emperor is dead, how can the demon clan stop him?

Of course, the elders will come out together and cooperate with Wang Ting to protect the magic circle, so they have a certain ability to resist, but after a battle, there will definitely be heavy casualties.

"The road between heaven and earth is cut off..." Zhao Hao recalled what he said about the heavenly emperor cutting off the road between heaven and man, and muttered to himself, "It's no wonder why there has been no progress for so many years...but how to recover and break through."

He was talking to himself, his complexion changed from cloudy to sunny, ecstatic for a while, and frowning for a while.

Zu'an thought that this guy would not really think of a way to break through when the road to heaven and man was cut off?

Then he would be finished.

Fortunately, Zhao Hao didn't have a clue after thinking for a long time, so he temporarily gave up thinking, and said to Zu'an: "By the way, what is the undead medicine you mentioned?"

"That's just a gimmick. The only one I found took the medicine of immortality, and turned into a complete monster in the end. It's too far-fetched to call it immortal." Zu'an thought to himself that these guys who were dying They were all interested in this, so they gave a general account of what happened to Qiao Jiao.

These contents have been practiced many times at the Yaozu Presbyterian Association, and they have been completely flawless.

Sure enough, Zhao Hao showed a disappointed expression: "So that's the case."

Then Zhao Hao asked about some details in the secret realm, especially the part related to the Demon Emperor, and Zu'an responded to the prepared remarks one by one.

While chatting, Zhao Hao suddenly asked: "What's the matter with your cultivation, have you become a useless person?"

"I was injured in the secret realm and the royal court before, and I should be able to recover after a period of training." Zaun said ambiguously.

Zhao Hao nodded. He didn't care if the other party's cultivation could be restored, and it might even be more comfortable to become a useless person.

He waved his hand to let him back. He was quite satisfied with this conversation. Although he didn't get anything concrete, he knew that there was still a way ahead, which was more important to an existence like him than others.

Not long after leaving the Imperial Study Room, Zu'an was suddenly stopped by a figure: "Congratulations, Lord Zu, for being promoted to Marquis."

"It turned out to be Eunuch Lu..." Zu'an recognized that the other party was Lu Qi, the eunuch next to the empress.

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, he asked curiously, "Hey, why didn't you see the empress?"

This guy has always been around the queen like a faithful lick-dog, and almost sees the queen when he sees him.

"It's rare that Master Zu still misses Your Majesty," Lu Qi's eyes flashed a look of mixed pain and anticipation, "My Lady is recuperating in the hot spring palace in the suburbs these days, waiting for Master Zu to pay her respects."

Hearing this, Zaan's scalp tingles. Although Queen Liu Ning is a stunner, Zhao Hao is still alive. The stealing was done out of anger and revenge, but after calming down, he realized that this was completely on the verge of death. dance.

He often walks on the side of the road, so there is no reason not to wet his shoes, and the queen seems to be picking him up, which makes him feel like he has suffered a disadvantage.

Just looking for an opportunity to decline, Eunuch Lu didn't give him the chance: "Your Majesty has nagged Master Zu several times, and your patience has reached its limit. Master Zu, please don't let Your Majesty down. An angry woman can do anything."

The threat was palpable.

Zaan felt like a juicy cabbage coveted by the female goblin.

Just as he was about to say something, Eunuch Lu seemed to have discovered something and drifted away.

At this time, there were some crisp sounds of ring pendants hitting beside me, and a precious and elegant sweet fragrance wafted through the air, but the usually melodious voice was a little cold now: "Master Zu has not heard from you during this time, I thought What happened, it turned out that he climbed another high branch."
