Diwu Qing Rou sat motionlessly on the chair and looked at him calmly. This kind of serene yet deep gaze made Lu Ren Jia, who was standing opposite him, suddenly feel a burst of fear for no reason.
He came with an imperial edict, but at this moment, he had a feeling that Diwu Qing Rou was standing on top of the clouds, looking down at him with disdain. Although there was no emotion in his eyes, Lu Ren Jia could clearly feel the disdain.
At this moment, he, the Head Chief, was like an ant at the foot of a mountain, being looked down upon by others.
This feeling made Lu Ren Jia very unhappy.
He felt that he was being looked down upon.
No matter what, he was still a powerful general manager! After losing some of the things that a man should have, Lu Ren Jia no longer had any requirements for money and beauty. But he cared more and more about power and prestige!
Especially the feeling of needing to be respected by others. It was getting stronger and stronger! In fact, his self-esteem had reached a perverted level!
"The imperial edict has arrived! Diwu Qing Rou, receive the imperial edict! " When he didn't get the kind of response that he expected the most, General Manager Lu looked at Diwu Qingrou and shouted again.
Diwu Qing Rou frowned slightly. Then Lu Ren Jia suddenly felt an inexplicable chill all over his body.
"Read it!"
Diwu Qing Rou's expression was still calm. His eyes were still cold and deep. Just one word was enough to shatter Lu Ren Jia's perverted self-esteem!
At this moment, he clearly felt that if he did not read it, he would never have the chance to do so!
The four eunuchs behind him, acting as guards of honor, were so scared that their eight legs started to tremble together.
"By the will of heaven, the Emperor decrees …" The duck voice just started to read.
"Read the contents!" Diwu Qing Rou said calmly.
"Uh …" Lu Ren Jia held his breath and almost suffered internal injuries.
"… Diwu Qing Rou is ordered to return all the items in the royal treasury …" Lu Ren Jia finally could not resist the pressure and only read out the important parts.
"The royal treasury was stolen?" Diwu Qing Rou frowned and said to himself, "You want me to return it?" His voice carried a hint of laughter.
Gao Sheng, who was standing at the side, almost laughed out loud.
"Get out." Diwu Qing Rou opened his eyes and looked at Lu Ren Jia.
Lu Ren Jia was furious. He held back his anger and said, "Prime Minister Diwu, before I came here, His Majesty had warned me again and again that if Prime Minister Diwu took some things, you must have taken them in a proper way and used them in a proper way. However, those things are the foundation of the royal family. I hope that Prime Minister Diwu can understand His Majesty's difficulties …"
"Well, I will understand," Diwu Qing Rou said indifferently.
This sentence caused Chief Steward Lu to roll his eyes. The Emperor asked you to 'understand', but it was just a polite sentence. You actually 'understand' and did it?
"The Emperor has another verbal order." Lu Ren Jia gritted his teeth and rolled his eyes.
"Hmm?" Diwu Qing Rou's expression did not change, but General Manager Lu clearly felt a sense of impatience.
"His Majesty said … he hopes that Diwu Qing Rou will know when to advance and when to retreat, and not be a traitor! Otherwise, I will have no choice but to eliminate him at all costs, "Lu Ren Jia said slowly.
In fact, this sentence was not the Emperor's verbal order. It was a private conversation between the Emperor and the Empress. At that time, Chief Steward Lu was not far away, waiting to serve him. After hearing these words, he naturally placed Diwu Qing Rou in the same category as those 'out-of-favor ministers who could be exterminated at any time'.
To be able to make the Emperor say such words, could it be that this official had something good to do with him?
Inherited Prime Minister? So what? In the past, there had been many officials whose achievements surpassed the Emperor's. Which one of them had not been killed by the Emperor? Even if you, Diwu Qing Rou, had great power, you were still just an official!
Therefore, today, Chief Steward Lu coldly said these words to protect his pitiful self-esteem.
He looked forward to seeing Diwu Qing Rou kneeling on the ground and kowtowing pitifully after hearing his words.
If that happened, Chief Steward Lu would proudly say, "Since you know this, why did you do it in the first place! I am also powerless … and then leave in a huff … "
Leaving behind a soulless Diwu Qing Rou, regret it!
Sure enough, after hearing these words, Diwu Qing Rou's face changed. His eyes slowly turned cold. His face also seemed to be covered with a layer of ice.
"Are these His Majesty's original words?" Diwu Qing Rou said heavily.
"Of course!" Chief Steward Lu raised his head.
"Please report to His Majesty that I, Diwu Qing Rou, will remember! I will give His Majesty a satisfactory explanation! "Diwu Qing Rou said slowly.
Before Lu Ren Jia could speak, Gao Sheng waved his hand and said, "Men! Throw these eunuchs out! "
In an instant, a few fierce men came in and picked up Lu Ren Jia and the others. They mercilessly dragged them out.
"Prime Minister, don't be angry. These words may not have been said by the Emperor." Gao Sheng comforted him.
"I know, this is definitely not the Emperor's verbal order!" Diwu Qing Rou smiled gently.
"Since this is the case, why did Prime Minister …"
"Although this is not the Emperor's verbal order, the Emperor must have said this!" Diwu Qing Rou said slowly.
"…" Gao Sheng was speechless.
The Emperor had said this before, so it was inevitable!
There is no smoke without fire. Lu Ren Jia was a eunuch. Even if he had the guts, he would not dare to fabricate the Emperor's verbal order. Now, since he was able to say such words, it must have been said by the Emperor.
The conflict between the royal family and Diwu Qing Rou had been going on for a long time, but the two sides had never completely fallen out with each other. The royal family hated Diwu Qing Rou. They could not wait to tear Diwu Qing Rou into pieces. But they also knew that Great Zhao could not do without Diwu Qing Rou.
Everyone was well aware that Great Zhao wanted the country to be stable forever. It wanted glory and wealth to rule the world! But Diwu Qing Rou wanted to unify the world and establish an unparalleled hegemony!
It seemed like they had the same goal, but it was not the same! People like Diwu Qing Rou were fighting for their ideals and ambitions. His lifelong ambition was to unify the world with his own hands and with his own wisdom!
Diwu Qing Rou did not care about power! Power was only a tool to achieve his goals!
Therefore, it could be said that both sides were taking what they needed!
Diwu Qing Rou was now in power. If he wanted to usurp the throne, he would have succeeded! But he did not. This was an invisible hint: You can be the Emperor, and I can be the Prime Minister! You can enjoy your glory and wealth, and I can fight for my country.
As for who this country belongs to, I don't care! I only want the pleasure of conquering the world!
This was a silent communication.
But this kind of communication, this kind of minister, no matter how powerful, would not be liked by the Emperor! But the Emperor of Great Zhao could only accept it. Although he was sullen to a certain extent … he could only endure it!
Originally, this situation would continue. No matter who won or lost, it would continue until the end of the war.
This was the history of Great Zhao! It was destined to be history!
But now, because of a eunuch who delivered the decree, because of this eunuch's abnormal self-esteem, this originally smooth development of history took a strange turn.
Because once this sentence came out, Diwu Qing Rou and the royal family had no room to maneuver!
Especially, behind this eunuch, there were four young eunuchs. Next to Diwu Qing Rou, there was Gao Sheng. If it was an ordinary person, Diwu Qing Rou could kill them all to silence them. This situation could still continue.
But he could not kill Gao Sheng.
Since he could not kill Gao Sheng, killing this Wu Hua eunuch would make him look cowardly. But if he let them go … the conflict would intensify.
Whether the national treasury was stolen or not was no longer important! What was important was the power struggle of Great Zhao. Just like this, the curtains were magnificently opened by an insignificant person with a disfigured body!
History was full of coincidences, and it was so dramatic!
Who said that insignificant people could not change history?
Chief Steward Lu did it! With the identity of a eunuch, he could control the world with just one sentence!
He could be said to be the most powerful eunuch in history!
It could be imagined that no matter how things would develop in the future, no matter if Chief Steward Lu would be able to live past today, no matter if he would be able to see the sun tomorrow, and no matter who the final hero of the continent war would be … the great name of this Illusory Night Phoenix was destined to leave behind a thick and heavy mark in the history of the Heavenly Layer!
"The national treasury was stolen!" Diwu Qing Rou's eyes slowly became sharp, "In one night, from the beginning of the chaos to the retreat of the big dukes, it was not more than twenty hours! And in these twenty hours, Golden Horse Riders Department was watching the periphery. There was absolutely no one who left the royal palace with any large items! Not even a small package was taken out of the palace! "
"The time was too short. It was absolutely impossible to steal the national treasury in this period of time! "
"But now the national treasury is empty! And I have to return it! "
Diwu Qing Rou sneered, "Moreover, there was even a sentence about getting rid of this person at all costs …"
"Hahaha..." Diwu Qing Rou smiled gently. But, this smile made Gao Sheng shudder at the side!
Diwu Qing Rou's words revealed a lot of things. But in short, there was only one conclusion: The royal family of Great Zhao could no longer tolerate Diwu Qing Rou's monopoly and wanted to take action!
How could Diwu Qing Rou be the kind of person who would take a beating without fighting back? Diwu Qing Rou's habit had always been to strike first to gain the upper hand …
"But, is the county really stupid to this extent?" This was the only thing Gao Sheng could not understand.
"The stupidity of the royal family is far beyond anyone's imagination!" Diwu Qing Rou's words immediately closed the coffin!
From this moment on, there was no turning back!
Jing Meng Hun did not catch King of Hell Chu, but returned to the Gong Xiang Manor with a letter and a large amount of money.
