My wife is Invincible East

Chapter 557 Meeting the Saint

At this time, Zhu Moye looked at the Tang Emperor on the dragon throne and said, "I want to know what privileges are there for being a general."

The Emperor of Tang's temper seems to be pretty good so far, so Zhu Moye's move is a further test.

"What privileges do you want?" The eyes of the Tang Emperor flashed slightly as he looked at Zhu Moye in front of him. Obviously, this great leader began to feel suspicious. He felt that Zhu Moye was still too young at this moment, and he might take this opportunity to ask for exorbitant prices.

"Can I have the privilege of meeting the emperor without kneeling?" When Zhu Moye saw the strange look in the eyes of the Tang Emperor, he guessed what he was thinking.

Because Zhu Moye had been an emperor for a period of time, he naturally understood the look in the eyes of the Tang Emperor very well. Being suspected by the emperor might be something very frightening in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of Zhu Moye it was nothing unusual.

Not to mention that Zhu Moye was once an emperor, his current identity alone makes him a human emperor. Apart from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, even if you are the Emperor of Heaven in this world, what can it do?

Under such circumstances, it was simply impossible to get Zhu Moye to say a few soft words to the Tang Emperor. At this time, Zhu Moye just wanted the privilege of not having to kneel, which was really nothing.

Even so, when Zhu Moye said this, it seemed extremely treasonous. Many people looked at Zhu Moye in silence, thinking that he was just a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger.

They dared to make such a request, and at the same time they couldn't help but feel worried for Zhu Moye. Generally speaking, no emperor would agree to such a request.

If it were an emperor with a worse temper, it is not impossible that he would execute you based on such a request.

However, everyone knew at this time that what everyone thought was not important. The most important thing was what the Emperor Tang in front of them thought.

When they thought of this, everyone quietly looked up at Emperor Tang's expression, but found that his expression was quite strange at this time, and they didn't know whether he was happy or unhappy.

The Tang Emperor looked at Zhu Moye with great interest, as if he found his words very interesting. When Zhu Moye began to feel a little uncomfortable, the Tang Emperor suddenly laughed and said, "Okay, in that case, I agree. From now on, you don't have to kneel when you see me."

"..." Zhu Moye was speechless. He didn't expect that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang stared at him for so long just for this reason. He really didn't know what to say.

No matter what, the appearance of Emperor Tang in front of him really caught him off guard. Before, he thought Emperor Tang would say something.

In fact, the Emperor of Tang was also curious about Zhu Moye's performance at this time. Before, he thought that Zhu Moye would make some exorbitant demands, but he didn't expect it to be just a small request without kneeling.

Although not kneeling might sound like an honor, it wasn't really anything important. Not to mention any real benefits, the Emperor even thought Zhu Moye was just trying to test his worth by accepting such a minor privilege.

As a great leader, Emperor Tang obviously had enough magnanimity. Therefore, when he looked at Zhu Moye in front of him, he agreed with a smile.

Moreover, in this way, Zhu Moye also agreed to accept the title of the court, so that he could temporarily call himself a minister to the Tang Emperor. Although in some cases, Zhu Moye was undoubtedly a very special talent.

But for the Tang Emperor at this time, it was a very happy thing. Even the look in his eyes when he looked at Zhu Moye became much kinder, which made Zhu Moye feel a little confused. He could only bow his head and accept the order: "Your Majesty, I accept the order and thank you."

"Haha, stay and have dinner with me later." Looking at Zhu Moye in front of him, Emperor Tang didn't know why, but he always felt that the more he looked at the young man in front of him, the more familiar he felt, as if there was something very similar between the two people.

The reason why Emperor Tang had this illusion was probably because of the inexplicable temperament of Zhu Moye, so that when he looked at Zhu Moye at this time, he always had this feeling.

"Yes." Although Zhu Moye didn't know what the Tang Emperor was planning, he knew that this was a great favor and he couldn't refuse it, so he simply agreed.

The ministers nearby looked at Zhu Moye with strange eyes. Originally, they felt it was very strange and didn't know how Zhu Moye could make the Emperor of Tang show such favor to him. But when they saw that Zhu Moye could even stay and have dinner with the Emperor of Tang, they suddenly felt tears streaming down their faces.

What is the gap? This is the so-called gap. If it weren't for the fact that this was the first time Zhu Moye and the Tang Emperor met, they would have doubted the relationship between them. However, there are not many people who can receive such favor from the Tang Emperor. This is probably why Zhu Moye is being stared at so strangely.

There weren't many affairs at court. After all, it was still the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. Under Li Shimin's rule, the entire Tang Dynasty was very peaceful, although there were many powerful enemies nearby. In fact, Zhu Moye was expected to lead the troops to eliminate those enemies. Although the Tang Emperor himself did not hold high expectations, they did not expect Zhu Moye to win many victories. He was used as a secret weapon.

Although no one knows how Zhu Moye managed to kill those Turkic troublemakers, since he was able to do it the first time, he must have some extraordinary qualities.

The titles and rewards from the court were certainly not given for nothing. Most of them were given with the intention of testing Zhu Moye's abilities.

Zhu Moye knew the thoughts of the superior clearly, but he just didn't expose them.

Chapter 558: The Tang Emperor's Test

After the court session, it was already noon. Zhu Moye walked through the imperial garden under the arrangement of everyone. He could see the colorful flowers blooming on both sides. Walking on the path in the middle, he could clearly smell the fragrance of the flowers, which made people feel relaxed and happy, and also relieved the fatigue of the morning.

However, Zhu Moye himself was very accustomed to these things, and he did not show much emotion while walking among them. His face was very calm. Even though having a meal with the emperor might be a great honor in the eyes of others, for Zhu Moye, it was nothing special.

Only the Tang Emperor, who had been secretly observing him, felt that the performance of this young man before him was beyond his expectations. Compared to how the Tang Emperor had felt about Zhu Moye before, the current Zhu Moye was even more outstanding to the Tang Emperor.

In such a friendly atmosphere, they finished their lunch. In fact, Zhu Moye was not full, but he was also somewhat curious about what kind of person this Tang Emperor, who had left many topics of discussion in history, was.

However, during the conversation with him, Zhu Moye gradually understood what he was thinking, which was nothing more than wanting him to serve the court. At the same time, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was not sure what kind of fighting power he could represent.

Zhu Moye was well aware of the title bestowed upon him by the imperial court. A title like Jian'an General didn't actually carry any real power. Emperor Xuanzong hadn't anticipated that Zhu Moye's deeds would become so widely known among the people that he had to reconsider his official position.

Although General Jian'an did not have much power, for an ordinary person, it was actually an official position that was enough for him to strive for his entire life.

Zhu Moye could only thank Emperor Xuanzong of Tang for his grace. After all, the fact that the Emperor of Tang could bestow such a title upon him at this time showed his favor to him, which meant that he valued him highly. Zhu Moye understood this very well.

The other party wanted him to lead troops to quell the Tibetan rebellion outside, and Zhu Moye did not refuse. In Zhu Moye's memory, the Tibetans at this time in the Tang Dynasty were not as tenacious as they were in the later period. This was at most a test given to him by the Tang Emperor.

Zhu Moye had nothing to fear. After accepting the Tang Emperor's appointment, he led his troops to war. Although Zhu Moye had never been a general, he was very familiar with leading troops in battle. In the past, Zhu Moye had made great efforts to expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty. In his eyes, leading troops was a piece of cake.

However, at this time, Emperor Tang regarded it as a test for Zhu Moye, which made Zhu Moye feel a little bit helpless. In his eyes, it was a normal and reasonable thing, but in the eyes of Emperor Tang and others, how could it become so troublesome?

"Quelling the Turkic rebellion?" When Zhu Moye turned around, he saw the magnificent Tang Emperor's palace. It was not as grand and magnificent as the Ming Dynasty's palace, but it had its own aura. However, in Zhu Moye's eyes, it made him think differently. As an emperor, who would be willing to be inferior to others? At least not Zhu Moye at this moment.

But he knew very well that now was not the best time to do these things. So, even if he had other ideas in his mind, at this moment, Zhu Moye just turned his head to take a look and then turned away.

Behind Zhu Moye, some ministers who had not left the court after the court session were looking at his back and talking among themselves: "That young man is Zhu Moye."

"Yes, I heard that he is going to lead the army. It's true that the emperor thinks too highly of such a young man." Obviously, no matter where you are, there are always some people who like to gossip. At this time, looking at the young face of Zhu Moye in front of them, these people couldn't help but say.

"That's right." Someone couldn't help but answer, obviously holding the same opinion as the person next to him.

It is obvious that the court officials have several different attitudes towards Zhu Moye. One faction is the typical neutral faction, which includes some capable ministers who only focus on practical matters. They have no grudges against Zhu Moye and will not get involved in such matters.

The other two factions are the young and middle-aged faction and the older faction. They each hold different attitudes towards Zhu Moye in front of them.

Perhaps because of the deep impression Zhu Moye had left on everyone before, until Zhu Moye walked out of the palace, he could still receive secret glances from others from time to time along the way.

This made Zhu Moye feel particularly amused, because in his eyes, many of these ministers were powerful people. Although not all of them held great power, at least, at this time, they did not need to treat him like this. Just looking at their faces, Zhu Moye felt a bit indescribable.

When it comes to playing with the mind, Zhu Moye's skills are many times better than theirs. After remembering several potential ministers in his mind, Zhu Moye went over and started chatting with them without any hesitation.

Regardless of how these ministers viewed Zhu Moye, whether out of dislike or curiosity, they knew that Zhu Moye was favored by the emperor. He had risen from a commoner to the enviable position of general. He could also eat lunch with Emperor Xuanzong. Although everyone knew this was more symbolic than meaningful, under such circumstances, anyone who ignored Zhu Moye would be courting death.

If you are looking for death, it is fine. The key is that everyone has a huge family in their heart. No one is without family. Even if you are looking for death, you have to take care of your family behind you. Therefore, when facing Zhu Moye in front of them, no one showed disrespect on the surface.

Chapter 559: Isn't It Just About Winning the Battle?

At least, no matter what, even if you have to disguise yourself, you have to disguise yourself well.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Moye followed the crowd and heard many secrets about the dynasty. However, these secrets went in one ear and out the other. Back then, with the Jinyiwei by his side, if Zhu Moye was interested in what the ministers did every day, he would tell them all their private affairs in less than half an hour.

Therefore, Zhu Moye, who was brought up in such an environment, had long been bored with the gossips from the ministers' mouths.

Feeling that there was nothing else to do, Zhu Moye simply chose to leave. He used the excuse that he was about to start training soldiers and left directly.

Those ministers usually had their own small circles and had never expected Zhang Liang to suddenly come in. They were caught off guard. And now, looking at Zhang Liang's expression, they were a little unsure of what to say.

At least, when they looked at Zhu Moye in front of them, they felt a bit of panic and nervousness in their hearts.

But after Zhu Moye left, they gradually realized that at this moment, even if they felt scared, it didn't matter, because Zhu Moye in front of them wouldn't care about it anyway. Therefore, when they heard the news that Zhu Moye was leaving, these people immediately expressed their great joy, and almost sent Zhu Moye off with smiles on their faces.

Although he had a somewhat strange feeling in his heart, Zhu Moye did not think much about it. He now knew that the most important thing for him was to train his soldiers.

In fact, in this era, because it was a dynasty where monsters, gods and demons were rampant and could be described as a riot of demons, Zhu Moye was quite excited at the beginning. If it were any other time, he would probably be depressed to death in this training camp.

Because it is really serious here, once you enter here, everyone has to put away their playful smiles, including Zhu Moye.

After Zhu Moye became a general, the first thing he did was to gather everyone together and give a speech. Although Zhu Moye's words had a bit of a strange accent at this time, the people in the audience listened very carefully.

This alone made Zhu Moye feel very guilty at this moment. To be honest, it seemed that he had not been with these ordinary humans for a long time.

"Next, you will be the soldiers under my command. What is the biggest requirement of our army? To win the battle. I am confident that I can lead you to fight against the Turks. What about you? Are you confident? Do you have the confidence to put your life in my hands?" Wearing a set of armor, Zhu Moye looked majestic as he stood on the stage. When he glanced at the faces of these people below the stage, his heart was inevitably sad.

I don't know what the Tang Dynasty's recruitment office is thinking at this time. Among these young people in front of him, many look very immature. What makes Zhu Moye feel very difficult to accept is the light full of expectations in these people's eyes.

As if they knew exactly what Zhu Moye would do at this moment, these young people blindly trusted him: "Yes!"

"Okay." Zhu Moye nodded and led the army to march.

The expedition time of this kind of team was actually much faster than Zhu Moye had thought before. This was not in Chang'an City. The day after Zhu Moye received the edict from Li Shimin, he rode a Ferghana horse and rushed out. The journey to the border did not take Zhu Moye much effort. He mainly used the Di Ting divine beast, and then used the remaining three days to practice, which just fixed his previous rapid progress.

You know, if he continues to progress at this rapid pace, Zhu Moye is very worried about what will happen if he encounters another heavenly calamity.

Fortunately, although Zhu Moye clearly felt the changes happening in his body, it was obviously not related to the heavenly tribulation. Zhu Moye was not so out of control as to have nothing better to do than to find some lightning to strike himself.

There are many people who are watching Zhu Moye, and no one knows how many people from the Tang Dynasty are involved. Zhu Moye wants to use this military achievement to let those who are watching him and hope that he will fall see clearly.

Some things will not develop as they expected.

If there were other people here, Zhu Moye would still be a little cautious at this time, but for these mortals, Zhu Moye really had to not bully them too much when fighting.

Generally speaking, cultivators of the Dao were not supposed to participate in the imperial court, but Zhu Moye's fate was special. He was a person who was covered by the heavens, a fact that even the immortals like Nuwa could not predict. Moreover, Zhu Moye was the ninth emperor of the human world after the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, transcending this world. Even if Zhu Moye led an army, no one could accuse him or interfere.

The battle went very smoothly, as if with divine help. The soldiers following Zhu Moye on both sides felt as if they were in a dream. They originally wanted to take two stabs at Zhu Moye when he was about to be injured.

But throughout this battle, Zhu Moye never asked them for help. On the contrary, Zhu Moye saved them several times.

There were many people in the army who were waiting to see this young man make a fool of himself, but what they didn't expect was that Zhu Moye didn't seem unfamiliar at all after joining the army.

Whether it was command or dispatch, everything was impeccable, and even his precise grasp of the battle situation far exceeded the standards of generals at the time. This made them look at each other in bewilderment, obviously unable to imagine what words to use to deal with someone like Zhu Moye.

"He is simply a god-like figure." When some generals discussed in private below, they all spoke of Zhu Moye with admiration. After Zhu Moye won this battle, his reputation spread more and more widely throughout the Tang Dynasty.

It should be noted that people were not interested in the old general's rich experience, but they were very curious about the legendary Zhu Moye. Especially after Zhu Moye actually won the battle, it seemed as if overnight, Zhu Moye's reputation became known to everyone in the entire Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 560 Return to the Capital

Many people secretly expressed their admiration when mentioning Zhu Moye, especially in the army. After the great victory over the Turks, Zhu Moye's reputation was unmatched for a while.

The main reason is that this battle was won too beautifully.

It should be noted that at the beginning of this battle, most people in the court held a pessimistic view, especially since Zhu Moye was leading the army. The people in the army also had many objections to the new commander, but Zhu Moye's tough tactics suppressed these people from the beginning.

Even so, in such an environment, the tens of thousands of Turks were still in sharp contrast to Zhu Moye's 5,000 soldiers, and they were still defeated.

This example of defeating a larger force with a smaller one is enough to make everyone remember it. Such a victory is even more legendary. At the same time, many people in the army also changed their attitude towards Zhu Moye. At the beginning, they still maintained a somewhat distrustful attitude towards a young general like Zhu Moye.

However, the army was mostly composed of rough, unassuming men who didn't have any particular expectations of others. As long as you had real skills, they would easily respect you. Zhu Moye's legendary victory over a larger force with a smaller one was clearly accepted by others.

When Zhu Moye returned to the capital, he was welcomed by many people on the way. Outside the city of Chang'an, many people were waiting for Zhu Moye's return.

When Zhu Moye entered the city gate, countless bullets were thrown at him on horseback, and even the soldiers behind him were baptized in the same way. This was collected by the girls and women of Chang'an for several days. Poor people in Chang'an, this time, countless people died because of Zhu Moye.

Looking at such a grand scene, the soldiers following Zhu Moye were still confused. However, hearing the praise and admiration of the surrounding people towards them greatly encouraged their vanity. In fact, Zhu Moye had not expected that his victory would cause such a big stir.

This was also related to the open and covert struggles between the two factions in the court. Previously, the young and strong faction valued Zhu Moye, while the old faction disliked Zhu Moye's radicalism. Under such circumstances, Zhu Moye's first battle naturally attracted countless people's attention. Because it also involved the game of two parties, in this environment, Zhu Moye not only won a great victory under pressure, but also won it cleanly and beautifully, which greatly undermined the prestige of the old faction.

It is precisely because of this that the common people living in Chang'an City have all heard the news about Zhu Moye, and everyone is very concerned about Zhu Moye's situation.

You have to know that the last time Zhu Moye sneaked into Chang'an and then left like the wind. Many people did not see what Zhu Moye looked like. Naturally, they were unwilling to leave at this time and had to see Zhu Moye before they were willing to leave.

This caused traffic jams at the south gate of Chang'an throughout the day, which was caused by the crowds.

In this era, the trend of large population has begun to emerge. When many girls saw Zhu Moye on horseback, they couldn't help but scream.

No matter where they are, good-looking people are very popular. Although Zhu Moye does not need to show his face, at this time, being watched by everyone, a general with good looks will undoubtedly attract more attention.

"That man is Zhu Moye, the general on the white horse. So handsome!"

"I wonder if he's married yet."

Countless people were whispering, and the girls' whispers attracted even more attention. It was unknown how many people wanted to marry Zhu Moye at this time, and flowers, fruits and other things were thrown towards Zhu Moye without hesitation.

Of course, these all have so-called good reputations, and wasn’t Wei Zifu like that back then?

Although Zhu Moye looked safe and sound while sitting on his horse, he was actually feeling overwhelmed. He had originally thought that women of this era were all as gentle and virtuous as Gao Cuilan, but Zhu Moye had overlooked the fact that Gao Cuilan had grown up in Gao Village and had never been a gentle woman from Gao Village.

But here, it is Chang'an, the most prosperous and developed place in a country. Naturally, the vision is not comparable to that of ordinary small places. The women who grew up here are somewhat bold. When they saw Zhu Moye, they expressed their feelings one after another. Although not many of their feelings could be conveyed to Zhu Moye, it did not prevent them from participating in it.

To put it bluntly, Zhu Moye at this moment is somewhat like a mascot. This is a carnival for everyone.

Everyone loves to participate in happy events, especially such an inspiring victory. When Zhu Moye entered the palace to receive his title, even Emperor Xuanzong praised him profusely: "I never expected this. This was just a test I set for you. Even if you failed, I wouldn't blame you. Sending someone who has never led an army to fight has caused much criticism among court officials. I can only grant you a maximum of 5,000 soldiers. You certainly didn't disappoint me."

To be honest, Tang Xuanzong hadn't considered Zhu Moye too important before. Perhaps in his eyes at this moment, he still thought that Zhu Moye was just a talented person. However, Tang Xuanzong didn't care about other things. However, he didn't expect that this level alone was far from enough.

When it came to Zhu Moye in front of him, he actually gave him a big surprise. A man who had never commanded an army won a beautiful victory in this first battle, so much so that even the Emperor of Tang couldn't help feeling happy.

It is easy to get thousands of soldiers, but it is difficult to get a good general. How could the emperor not like a general like Zhu Moye who can bring great victories?

Chapter 561: Being Valued by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang

"Thank you for the emperor's gift." After hearing that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang promoted his official title to a higher rank and rewarded him with countless platinum, gold and silver, Zhu Moye simply saluted to express his gratitude. These rewards should be considered quite generous to ordinary people, but to Zhu Moye, they are not worth mentioning.

In fact, at this time Zhu Moye had already felt that Tang Xuanzong had summoned him this time because of other important matters, but since Tang Xuanzong did not speak, Zhu Moye just stood quietly aside, waiting for the moment when Tang Xuanzong would take the initiative to speak.

Looking at Zhu Moye in front of him, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang became more and more satisfied. Although Zhu Moye in front of him was very young, he was very calm, which was rare.
