Chapter 223: Recommendation

Qiao Zheng hurriedly said: "Xia Hou, Chen is indeed old. Recently, he often feels soreness in his waist and back pain, which is really..."

Li Xia smiled slightly, knowing that he was still uneasy. If Gong Yang Tuo didn't take over as the high priest for one day, he would not be at ease for a day.

Lixia said, "Okay, then do as the high priest wants. Anyway, the high priest is just retiring and returning home, and it is not buried in peace. If there is any unknown thing about Gong Yangtao, he will naturally go to you."

Li Xia deliberately said something bad, which was both anger in his heart and catered to Qiao Zheng's thoughts. People's thoughts were actually very strange. If you are friendly with him, he would think that you would plot against him. It would be better to express your unhappy emotions, and he would feel at ease.

Turning around the heavenly court, Qiao rushed to come out in front of Gu Du and said, "Your Majesty, I am old and have been feeling unsatisfied recently. Please ask the emperor to surrender and return home."

Emperor Ze was a little worried because Li Xia told him that Qiao Zheng wanted to recommend Gong Yang Tuo as the high priest. Although Gu Du had already said that he would never take over the imperial spirit department, Emperor Ze could not help but feel guilty in front of Gu Du.

At the same time, Emperor Ze was also angry. Since Qiao Zheng had made up his mind, he should submit a memorial in advance, but he insisted on waiting for Gu Du to come back and say in front of Gu Du.

Zedi said with a cold face: "I think the high priest is still very strong, why should he retire? Could it be that I have made any mistakes? The high priest is unwilling to assist me anymore?"

Li Xia frowned slightly, why did Emperor Ze play with a child again? Didn’t he agree last night? Why did he change his mind when it comes to things?

Qiao Zheng knelt down and kowtowed and said, "The emperor calmed down his anger. I have no different intentions. I have been in office for more than 20 years and have not made any contribution to the size. Now I am old and stupid, and I really dare not do anything about the corpse position. I also ask the emperor to understand my feelings."

Emperor Ze still had a calm face, Gu Du said, "Emperor, the high priest has served for many years, and has always been dedicated to his duties and is honest in his official duties. Moreover, birth, old age, sickness and death are normal, or the high priest has some hidden illness and is inconvenient to tell him. Please calm down your anger."

Gu Du came out to speak, and Emperor Ze suddenly moved his mind and said, "My uncle said yes, then I will allow Qiao Zheng to report it. I think that the position of high priest is the uncle."

Li Xia and Qiao Zheng were both shocked. Li Xia was shocked that Emperor Ze was good at making suggestions and muddled the promises. Qiao Zheng was shocked that he might have been deceived by Gu Du and Li Xia and asked him to retire as the court. Then Emperor Ze directly issued an order to appoint Gu Du to succeed him.

But now that things have come to this point, Qiao Zheng is already in a difficult situation, and he cannot rush to speak, so he can only see what Gu Du will do.

Gu Du knelt down and lowered his head and said, "I am not abandoned by the emperor. When I am at the end of my journey, I will not only accept me, but also entrust important tasks. Even if I am heartbroken, I will not be able to repay the emperor's grace. But I am forgiving me to say frankly that I am not a suitable candidate to succeed the high priest."

Emperor Ze frowned, Qiao Zheng kept the bowing posture, and no one spoke, because although Gu Du said this, things might not be settled like this, because the high priest was the same as the third duke, even if Gu Du was the uncle, he had to give in first if he wanted to succeed him.

Dongfang Bin hesitated. In terms of his own interests, it is most appropriate for Gu Du to take over as the high priest, but Gu Du and Li Xia's identities are there. If he really wants to succeed as the high priest, the country may suffer from civil strife, and there will be suspicion between the monarch and ministers in the future.

Gu Du said again: "I recommend one person, please consider it."

Qiao Zheng felt a little nervous, and suddenly realized that Gu Du didn't have to be a high priest by himself. He just wanted to push an obedient person up, which not only relieved himself of the siege and grasped the real power.

Just when Qiao Zheng was heartbroken, Gu Du said, "I recommend Gongyang Tuo."

Qiao Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and unconsciously looked up at Li Xia, thinking that it was Li Xia who had communicated with Gu Du in advance. They were playing for all officials to see, but they were also a little surprised when they saw Li Xia.

Gongyang Tuo was sweating in a cold sweat, and hurriedly left the shift to kneel down, kowtowed and said, "I must not be aware of it! I have no strategy and no skills. I forgive me for being usurped. Even if my uncle is unwilling to take over the Imperial Spirit Division, the priest should be in charge. I would like to ask the emperor to clearly understand it."

Gu Du said, "The main priest cannot do it, he is old too."

Dongfang Buwen frowned. This son-in-law is almost the same as that. Fortunately, he has known each other for a long time, otherwise he would have regarded him as an ungrateful wolf.

Gong Yang Tuo was stunned and said, "Then...there is still the priest."

Gu Du said, "It's not okay to be a priest, he is not as good as you."

Qiao Zheng felt mixed feelings and suddenly realized that Gu Du asked Li Xia to re-evaluate the spirit master, so the two of them naturally knew all the spirit masters.

Yesterday he made a suggestion to Lixia that he wanted to recommend Gongyang Tuo. Lixia agreed without hesitation. Today, Gu Du personally recommended Gongyang Tuo. This shows that Gu Du did not care about power, fame and fortune, but also based on public intentions. At the same time, it also proved that when Gu Du first came to Zeguo, he just wanted to avenge Princess Xiaoguo.

Emperor Ze sighed quietly, and he also woke up. Gu Du and Qiao Zheng both recommended Gongyang Tuo. This was the first step to balance the court and reorganize the court.

Zeguo is no longer the poor and weak small country in the past. After ten years of conquest, he is evenly matched with Lingguo and evenly matched.

As Gu Du said, at this point, you can no longer pass the time. There must be rules. Without rules, you cannot make a square or a circle, and without rules, you cannot win the hearts of the people.

Zedi said, "Three dear friends, let's get up and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The three of them agreed in unison and stood up one after another.

Gu Du said again: "Emperor, when I asked Empress Xia to re-evaluate the level of the Imperial Spirit Master, only Gongyang Tuo, whose strength is close to the Black Robe. Now ten years have passed, he has already promoted to the Black Robe and has just seen the Great Imperial Spirit Master's essay. He is loyal and honest and steady. Gongyang Tuo is in charge of the Imperial Spirit Master. It is suitable for me. I am relieved. I will avoid the pain of being unable to do anything if I attack again in the future."

Gongyang Tuo said anxiously: "National uncle, please listen to a humble saying. The country uncle has been fighting for many years and has benefited the world and benevolent to the people..."

"Fuck!" Gu Du swears at him, shocking everyone to the point of being confused. Gong Yang Tuo was stunned on the spot.

Gu Du said sternly: "It is the emperor who is in the world! If it weren't for the emperor's kindness, how could the country be united and the military and civilians be united? How could I, a traitor, be willing to fight for the country?"

"The soldiers who are kind to the people! If they had not been to fight one after another and fought bloodyly, how could this Qingming prosperous era and thriving national strength? Can I do it alone? Do you put these words on me because you want to frame me and shock my master and deliberately plan for the country?"

The words were shocked by Gong Yang Tuo's sweat and said quickly: "I'm not talking about it, please calm my anger. I'm not the meaning of being humble, I'm just in a hurry and incoherent."
