Everyone was shocked, but Ji Guang looked calm and said angrily: "Ji Xuan bullied me too much, harmed my father, killed my subjects, and invaded our country. Since this is the case, I can only avoid difficulties. I will take the throne temporarily and wait until the enemy is repelled and stabilize the country, and then consider it."

All the ministers agreed and expressed that they must repel the enemy under the leadership of King Ji Guangxin and defend their country.

Zhang Luochen wanted to laugh at this drama of the king and his ministers asking each other to persuade him and refuse him. He had only watched such plots in history books before, but he could not see them one day. I have to say that it was quite dramatic.

He continued to conceal his style, sitting on the chair wearing a Taiyi suit and watching all this indifferently.

Since Ji Guang ascended the throne, the next thing he would do was naturally to reward the meritorious officials.

The ministers and nobles who had chopped monsters with him and actively supported him naturally had to be rewarded. This was not only a way to win over, but also a means to consolidate the royal power.

Liu Qingyun was directly appointed as the general in front of the hall and commanded the cavalry in front of the hall.

The other sons of the nobles were also promoted, and were all promoted to the commanders of the National Guardian Army, commanding the four gate guards in Luocheng respectively.

Li Yunfeng was appointed as the commander of the Zhongyi Army, and summoned the young and brave people from the towns around Luocheng to prepare to strengthen the defense of Luocheng.

He also appointed Ge Anmin as a bachelor of Luocheng and a special envoy of the Wang family. He went to pass an order to his second brother, asking him to lead troops to serve the king, and also issued a convening order to the army of various counties in the Southern Zhou Dynasty.

After a reward, it was Zhang Luochen's turn again.

This time, he did not ask his eunuchs to send the order, but walked off the throne himself, took a volume of imperial seal from the eunuchs, pointed at Zhang Luochen and said, "This immortal master Wuchenzi has a profound immortal skills and high virtue. Yesterday he killed demons and saved our country's country and danger. I am willing to regard him as the national teacher today, called "Wuchen Demon Showing the Holy True Person". You can enter the court without going to praise him and worship him without being named, and you will go to the hall with swords and shoes. You must treat him with the courtesy of our master in the future and must not be neglected."

Zhang Luochen thought that this title is long enough, but I like it, it still sounds quite cool.

He didn't have the nerve to sit down like this, stood up and bowed slightly, "Thank you for your kindness." He took the imperial seal scroll and put it in his backpack. This thing is also considered the national teacher's work certificate, so it still needs to be kept well.

Although he had always said that he didn't care about fame, wealth and power, and even thought so himself, he felt quite happy when he really came to this kind of scene and gave the national teacher the title treatment.

The ministers and nobles also agreed in unison, not knowing why they thought, at least they wanted to give the king a face on the surface.

After the reward is completed, what we need to do next is naturally to actively prepare for the war.

In fact, the information about the Chinese and Zhou armies being invaded was sent to Ji Guang last night. Considering the speed of the march and the weak resistance of the northern counties, seven days would definitely be considered as a lenient thing for the enemy, and maybe there would be less than seven days.

The so-called 100,000 army may have a little moisture, but it will definitely not be too much. Zhongzhou has always been the strongest country among the seven countries in Zhongzhou. It is just that because it faces enemies everywhere, there is no room for development. However, once it is fully mobilized, the power is definitely not as powerful as it is.

If you are prepared, you can resist step by step and delay time. However, the north is empty now, and the Southern Zhou Kingdom is a small country, and there is not much strategic depth. If you don’t do it well, you may be pushed by the opponent in a wave. So the only way is to defend the city and defend the largest fortress of Luocheng.

While Ji Guang sent people to various places to summon the Zhongyi army to Luocheng to assist in the defense, he also asked the important officials and nobles from all over the family to call out all the guards of the family to train them into an army, and issued several orders in succession. Everyone agreed in unison. Looking at the ministers who hurried out of the hall, Zhang Luochen also felt a little nervous about the war.

He said goodbye to Ji Guang, but returned to his residence - Yuquelou.

Qin Zi'ang, Hong Zhouzi, and Yang Baichuan are all waiting for him here.

As soon as he entered the door, Qin Zi'ang stood up first and asked anxiously, "How about Brother Zhang, what is the result of today's court meeting? Can the third prince ascend the throne and become king? Are those ministers and nobles willing to support him?"

Zhang Luochen nodded, "Everything went well. Now Ji Guang is the king, but the ascension to the throne may have to wait until after the war."

Qin Zi'ang sighed when he heard this, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

Hong Zhouzi said, "Young Master, how should we deal with ourselves? The war is dangerous and fierce. If we fight, we are afraid that the blood will flow into a river. Are we going to help the King of Southern Zhou or..."

The hidden meaning in the words is very obvious, why don’t you just run away?

Zhang Luochen shook his head, "I'm afraid we can't leave for the time being. I have accepted the position of the national commander. If the army of the Chinese and Zhou Kingdom really comes to the city, I can't say that I have to take action."

Hong Zhouzi was puzzled, "But young master, have you always been uninterested in fighting among mortals? This is not a good thing for those who practice Taoism to kill demons and to kill demons.

Zhang Luochen thought to himself that this old man is quite capable of doing things, but he can't do it. He has to find a better excuse to avoid being questioned in the future.

Zhang Luochen shook his head and said, "That's it, since the King of Zhongzhou colluded with the underworld, the balance of the world has been broken. It's not a foul if I want to take action. Besides, demons and ghosts are evil, and tyrants harm the people are evil. No matter how big or small it is evil, they will kill them. What we practitioners seek is to do whatever we want and let nature take their course. If we don't encounter it, it's fine. Since I have violated the Tao, I will let him know that the way of heaven has eyes."

"Besides, since the Central Zhou King took action once, maybe there are monsters and ghosts around him. If I take action again, I can't let them succeed."

Zhang Luochen had a serious expression. After hearing this, Hong Zhouzi could only sigh, "Sure enough, the young master is the master, but I am thinking too much."

Zhang Luochen felt in his heart. Of course, he was not trying to do his best for the sake of heaven. When he learned that a war was about to go, he had been thinking about a question, what he wanted to do in this war.

The final answer is very obvious. Since the war has arrived and cannot be avoided, it is just right to take advantage of this opportunity to improve your level.

The bull-headed ghost said that right. These people will die sooner or later. What's the difference between dying early or later? What's the difference between dying at the hands of an enemy soldier and dying under his own magic? Being killed is in vain. Being killed by yourself can still contribute some experience.

He had no chance to participate in this kind of war, but now as a national teacher, he can participate with confidence.

At that time, the two armies will fight with thousands of troops. As long as you take action, you will definitely have a lot of experience.

This world is cruel and chaotic. Even in the underworld, the strong are respected by the strong. Only when they have strong enough strength can they protect themselves and truly uphold justice. As long as they have leveled up, they are still afraid that they will be the king of Yama, Youdu, and dare to make trouble for them to practice experience. At that time, they will be just and specialize in treating all kinds of dissatisfactions. I am a little excited to think about it.

"I have decided, but Taoist priest doesn't have to worry. If it is really time to do something, at worst we can go to Zisi Kingdom to avoid one or two. If things go well and defending Luocheng, it will be considered a merit."

Hong Zhouzi then breathed a sigh of relief, and then said a little proudly, "Old Taoist, I have recently studied the Taiping Talisman Xuan Sutra, and I have gained some gains. Maybe I can help you a little bit at that time."
