Chapter 234 Resignation [Please give me a monthly ticket! ]

When the various geniuses gathered in Longyuan City and it was very lively, fewer people paid attention to the court. Few people knew that there was an undercurrent surging in the imperial city of Yin Dynasty at this moment.

On this day, Liang Fuguo finished his government affairs and walked out of the Xiangguo Gate. He needed to walk to the gate of the imperial city to take the imperial carriage. As he and his guards walked through the long alley, he saw a team of bright red robes in the distance.

Leading the group was a tall, elderly eunuch in a brocade robe and black hat. Although his hair and beard were white, he was full of energy and his eyes were piercing.

"Eunuch Cao." Liang Fuguo smiled and bowed from a distance.

There are not many people in the world who can make the Left Prime Minister bow first, but if the person in front of him is Cao Wujiu, there is nothing unreasonable.

"Greetings, Lord Left Prime Minister." Cao Wujiu immediately returned the greeting.

This eunuch in charge of the drinking horse prison followed the emperor and had not left the imperial city for many years, let alone the vigorous killing that he once had. Therefore, Cao Wujiu in recent years has been called the "Twilight Tiger of the Imperial City".

Behind him stood a group of godsons, lined up like a formation of geese, looking very majestic.

Liang Fuguo stepped forward and asked leisurely, "Eunuch Cao rarely leaves His Majesty's side. Are you waiting for someone?"

"I am waiting here for Lord Left Prime Minister." Cao Wujiu said bluntly.

"Oh?" Liang Fuguo was not surprised, but just asked: "Eunuch Cao, what's the important matter? Why didn't you go directly to the office to talk, but stopped me here halfway?"

"This old servant is escorting Lord Left Prime Minister out of the imperial city and just saying a few words to him." Cao Wujiu raised his hand and motioned Liang Fuguo to go with him.

The two men walked slowly side by side towards the gate of the imperial city. Liang Fuguo's guards and Cao Wujiu's troops followed behind them fifty steps apart, each forming a line.

Cao Wujiu then spoke quietly, "I have a godson who was very close to me in my early years. Later, he committed some crimes and was imprisoned. Recently, I heard that the Left Prime Minister took him away. I don't know why. Can you return him to me?"

"Are you talking about Cao Tong, Eunuch Cao?" Liang Fuguo did not play dumb and said directly, "When he was the military supervisor during the southern expedition, all his soldiers were annihilated, but he escaped alone. There must be something strange about this. We have to interrogate him before we can release him. But since he is Eunuch Cao's godson, I can assure you that we will not torture him, let alone let him die. Eunuch Cao does not need to worry about his personal safety."

"My useless godson has been in prison for many years. He might have made false accusations. Many of his words are not reliable. Lord Left Prime Minister, please carefully distinguish them." Cao Wujiu said again.

"This is a serious matter, and the Ministry of Justice will definitely find irrefutable evidence." Liang Fuguo said decisively.

"Lord Zuo Xiang." Cao Wujiu frowned slightly, paused, and said directly: "I have already reported this matter to His Majesty. His Majesty means that this person can be handed over to the Drinking Horse Supervisor for trial."

"Eunuch Cao, after all, you are somewhat involved with this person. No matter what the results are, you will inevitably be suspected. It is better to let the Ministry of Justice do this thankless task." Liang Fuguo refused.

Seeing the imperial city gate right in front of him, Cao Wujiu stopped, and the crowd following him from a distance also stopped.

"You have done too many things that are not pleasing to others, Lord Liang." His tone became a little cold, "This old servant sincerely advises you, even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about the future generations of the Liang family."

Liang Fuguo smiled back, "The descendants of the Liang family have already enjoyed many undeserved blessings because of their family. Even if they die because of their family, it doesn't seem to be a pity. Eunuch Cao, I also advise you that if someone deserves to be decent, let him go with dignity. If he doesn't want to be decent..."

He didn't say the rest, but turned around and waved.

The guards behind them hurriedly followed, while the people from the Drinking Horse Supervisor and Cao Wujiu stayed where they were. The two sides were clearly separated by a gate in the imperial city.

……

Liang Yue practiced hard at home for more than half a month. During this time, he did not go to the Zhuxie Division or Yunzhiguan. Every day, he just practiced and studied martial arts under the enlightenment tree.

In fact, he used to go home like this every night, but he would go out to do some work at that time. Now he practices day and night to prepare for the selection battle.

Normally, if one's goal is realm, just like those practitioners in the mountains, one only needs to practice in seclusion. If one uses the time that others spend on other things to practice, one's realm will always be a little ahead. However, it is difficult to fully utilize the cultivation gained in this way.

If the purpose is to fight, Liang Yue's previous training mode is very good. Hard training at night, fighting and training during the day. The help brought by experience in battle is sometimes more important than realm.

Therefore, he had never adopted the mode of seclusion and hard practice before.

The reason why he is like this now is that he has accumulated enough experience in this realm, and he needs to concentrate on improving his cultivation before the selection battle comes.

When I left home again, it was already July.

The selection battle will begin in a few days.

However, the first news he received was not about the selection battle, but an important event in the court.

Not long ago, Dinggou King Jiang Zhenye came to the court and submitted a letter of resignation, wanting to concentrate on pursuing martial arts. His Majesty approved it and ordered the divine general Ling Sansi to temporarily lead the three guards of Longyuan.

After hearing this news, Liang Yue understood that the Nanzheng case finally had a result.

Liang Fuguo did not kill Lu Yuanwang in public in the court with a single blow, as he did with Lu Yuanwang. Instead, he chose to give him a more decent way to exit.

Perhaps it was because Jiang Zhenye was much stronger than Lu Yuanwang, and he had no way to completely crush him for the time being. He could only drive him out of the court first and achieve a phased victory.

But is this really a victory for him?
Although using Cao Tong and the events of the past as threats could make the other party back down, it was not Jiang Zhenye who backed down, but the emperor.

I'm afraid that after this experience, the relationship between the emperor and the left prime minister will be completely broken.

Liang Yue did not participate much in the game in the court. From his standpoint, he would of course support what Liang Fuguo did, but he could not help but have some concerns.

Jiang Zhenye's resignation also brought about a sudden change in the situation of the Three Guards of Longyuan.

Ling Sansi has always been a general who has fought outside. He has never had his own troops among the three guards. For a period of time, the actual command of the Longyuan Three Guards may still be in the hands of the royal family. But he will never be willing to be a puppet. At least the most important guards and imperial guards will definitely go through a purge.

On the contrary, the Imperial Capital Guards are not that important. Brothers like Lao Hu stationed there will most likely be appeased and allowed to continue on their duties.

This is also why corrupt officials are easy to fight but evil officials are difficult to remove.

The upper level has a big target, and when something happens, it can quickly lock on to the precise person. However, even if these lower-level imperial guards do some trivial bad things every day, no one will make a big move to eliminate them. After all, there are tens of thousands of people below, and it is not easy to find another group willing to do these dirty and tiring jobs.

So while the leaders above change frequently, the brothers stationed below live in peace and stability.

The people of the capital of the gods were most concerned about the things around them. The downfall of King Ding Gou would only take a few days to discuss. However, the Jianghu people and the fighting in the rings that could be seen everywhere attracted most of the attention.

As soon as Liang Yue walked out of the house, he felt the hot atmosphere and heard some people on the street shouting: "The monk Xuanjiu from the Southern School's Mianbi Temple is going to fight with the monk Yuansheng from the Northern School's Jilei Temple. They are at Qingfoyuan outside the city!"

"The battle between the north and south of Buddhism will begin tomorrow night!"

"The young master of Whale Clan is going to fight in the Divine Capital again. This time he wants to challenge Qi Yingwu!"

"The Lingya three rankings have changed, and Xuanmen Wen Yifan has climbed to second place on the Young Lin rankings!"
