Chapter 10 The Ministry of War

As the supervisor of the Dayue King, the Supervision Department is the most important department for arresting, and its status is above ordinary yamen.

They do not deal with all kinds of ordinary criminal and civil cases.

Instead, it engages in reconnaissance, arrest, interrogation and other activities to supervise court officials. Theoretically, the Supervision Department can arrest anyone, including royal relatives, and conduct undisclosed interrogation!

Therefore, as long as you can serve in the Supervision Department, you cannot simply judge the status based on the level of your official position.

Just like Zuo Bufan, who is the top leader of the Qingzhou City Supervision Department, has only a sixth rank in office.

The prefect of Qingzhou is a fourth-rank official!

But Zuo Bufan didn't have to obey the prefect. If he even seized the prefect's handle, he felt that the prefect was a corrupt official and could still detain the prefect!

In addition, the Supervision Department sometimes has to face monsters and monsters. If you want to be an official in the Supervision Department, the first thing is to have high cultivation and strong enough strength!

In a sense, Zuo Bufan is the real number one person in Qingzhou and represents the official Dayue Dynasty!

The prefect is just the highest local magistrate on the surface.

But the mansion of Zuo Bufan, the number one person in Qingzhou City, has been very depressed for a long time recently, as if dark clouds were shrouding over Zuo Mansion.

Because Zuo Bufan, the owner of the Zuo Mansion, was in great trouble!

Within a few months, not only did the Qingzhou Supervision Department team suffer heavy losses and many casualties, but even Zuo Bufan was seriously injured some time ago and almost lost his life!

Fortunately, I was lucky, so I barely saved my life and ran back, and calmly recuperated in the Supervision Department.

But this matter did not end there.

Zuo Bufan did not go out on his own initiative, and someone came to Qingzhou City to cause trouble. Not only did many innocent people suffer, but even some servants from the Zuo Mansion often died of misfortune when they went out to buy things and do something!

So in the past month, the entire Zuofu has been in a panic.

If there was no particularly important thing, no one in the Zuo Mansion would choose to go out, and try to stay in the mansion, let alone leave the city.

"Master, when will such a day end? Isn't it said that in at most half a year, the emperor will change his mind and recall Lord Fu back to the capital? Now half a year has passed, why has the imperial edict been delayed?"

In the Zuo Mansion.

His wife Chen Rong helped her husband Zuo Bufan take off the armor on her body and said with a sad expression.

Zuo Bufan looked tired and sighed, "The situation is much worse than I thought when the treacherous ministers in the court are in power! Logically speaking, once the war deteriorates, the emperor knows that Master Fu's advice is correct and will definitely recall Master Fu back to the capital. However, if the imperial edict has been delayed, I am afraid that there will be some new changes in the court. I heard that the emperor has signed a new national teacher not long ago, which is highly trusted... Perhaps it is related to this national teacher if Mr. Fu cannot return to the capital."

Yes.

The trouble Zuo Bufan is facing now is not that he and the newly appointed prefect of Qingzhou are in conflict.

Even if the prefect wants to go against him, he will not be overwhelmed and will not cause any substantial threat to him.

His current troubles are that he has a good relationship with the newly appointed prefect Fu Tianchou and wants to protect the other party.

Fu Tianchou was once the Minister of War, one of the six ministries of the court, and a second-rank official.

In charge of the food and grass of garrisons in various places, the mobilization of troops and the appointment of military officials!

Half a year ago, Fu Tianchou angered the emperor because of some policy proposals and was sent to Qingzhou as the prefect.

At this point, facts have proved that Fu Tianchou's original policy advice was correct. Logically speaking, the emperor should issue an imperial edict to recall Fu Tianchou and let him re-take charge of the Ministry of War.

But the imperial edict to recall the capital was not only not heard, but there were many demons and monsters hidden in the dark, evil ways, wanting to make Fu Tianchou die in Qingzhou City.

He will never have the chance to return to the capital!

Zuo Bufan has always been a righteous person. He has long heard of Fu Tianchou's reputation and admired him very much.

So when someone wanted Fu Tianchou to die, he stood up without hesitation and gathered the power of the entire Qingzhou Supervision Department to protect Fu Tianchou's comfort.

The first few months were fine.

But in the past two months, the situation has become increasingly dangerous.

Chen Rong hung the armor on the hanger and said, "When I was chatting with Mrs. Fu, I heard her say that this new national teacher who is deeply trusted by the emperor... It seems that this new national teacher has the method of eternal life that can improve people's lifespan and live forever. Therefore, the emperor trusts him very much."

"snort!"

Zuo Bufan snorted coldly, with anger in his eyes, and said, "Since ancient times, no emperor who wants to live forever has ended up well, but there will always be people who do not take it as a warning and want to live forever. A foolish lord!"

Chen Rong was startled when she heard this, looked around and said quickly: "Master, be careful! You can't say such words outside! Even if we don't want to live, we can't involve three children!"

Zuo Xuan snorted coldly again and didn't say anything.

He was also at home and had no one around, so he dared to speak like this.

Chen Rong looked sad and said to herself: "Jing'er hasn't sent a letter to her home for a year, and I don't know what the situation is. Ling'er has been gone for many years and has disappeared. The last time she came back was four years ago..."

Upon hearing this, Zuo Bufan finally showed a smile on his gloomy face and said, "A good man should be his home in the world. Jing'er guards the border and leads the army to kill the enemy on the battlefield. If he makes achievements in the future and becomes a general, how glorious will he be to be a general?"

"Ling'er is fortunate to be regarded by the masters of Youfang and be accepted as his disciple. In the future, he will be a great opportunity to cultivate a strong and powerful force. When he returns from his studies, I will let him enter the Supervision Department and inherit my position. With Ling'er's talent, his future achievements will definitely be far more than me. It is not impossible to become a thousand households in the Supervision Department, and even commanders! At that time, he will not have to be as frustrated as me, killing demons and subduing demons, clearing the court and the country, and letting a bright world of the moon!"

The Zuo family has three sons.

The eldest son Zuo Jing entered the army early and guarded the border. He was already the leader of the army; the second son Zuo Ling was even more talented and had a clear and stubborn nature. When he was a child, he was attracted by the masters of the You Fang and took them back to the master's sect as his apprentice, and focused on practicing.

It can be said that these two people are both very good and have extraordinary achievements in the future.

Chen Rong gave her husband a blank look.

She did not have the lofty ambitions as Zuo Bufan.

If possible, she would rather her sons be by her side and see them all at once.

"What I worry most is Xuan'er. He has been going to Bailong Temple for half a year, and I don't know what the situation is. Can you bear the hardships of the temple..."

When Chen Rong said this, she couldn't help but shed tears and was worried.

The eldest son and the second son were no longer by their side, but the younger son Zuo Xuan was by their side. Of course, she, a mother, was extremely doting.

So Zuo Xuan has been spoiled since childhood.

Now I have left him in the temple for half a year and I don’t care about it. I don’t know how uncomfortable it is.

"Don't mention this evil!"

When Zuo Xuan's name was heard, the smile that had originally hung on Zuo Bufan's face disappeared immediately, and he snorted coldly: "I said that I, Zuo Bufan, pretended that I don't have this son!"

Chen Rong wiped her tears and blamed her: "Master, Xuan'er is also your son, your flesh and blood. How can you be so ruthless? Even if he can't become a talent like Jing'er and Ling'er, you can't treat him like this!"

Seeing his wife crying, Zuo Bufan couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward and coaxed her, "Okay! Think about it carefully, sending this evil son to Bailong Temple is actually a good thing. Now Qingzhou Prefecture is so nervous and dangerous. With this evil son's character, he might cause some trouble!"

Chen Rong thought about it, too.

In fact, she has long wanted to secretly go to Bailong Temple to take Zuo Xuan back in the past six months.

But it was because of the dangerous situation in Gyeongju Prefecture that I gave up.

Suddenly, she seemed to have figured out something and asked, "Master, you sent Xuan'er to Bailong Temple half a year ago. Did you have this plan?"

Zuo Bufan did not admit it or deny it, but just said coldly: "If this evil son stayed in Qingzhou City, I don't know how to cause trouble for me. Now I'm not seeing it. It's better to suffer a little in Bailong Temple than to be eaten by monsters!"

If Zuo Xuan had half of his elder brother's ability, Zuo Bufan would not have sent him to Bailong Temple. Instead, he would have stayed by his side and cultivated vigorously to be his right-hand assistant.

Now, it is already very good that Zuo Xuan can survive in the temple.

In such a critical situation, he had no time to care about a ignorant son.
