The puppet emperor and the queen mother have all the power in the government and the public, calling

Great Zhou Dynasty.

The city defense camp is in a military tent.

At this moment.

Lu Tao, deputy commander of the city defense battalion, was listening to the report of the soldiers beside him, his mind was complicated, and his face was full of solemnity.

Chen Zhan, the commander of the city defense battalion, disobeyed the holy decree and was executed by His Majesty.

Now.

He, the deputy commander, naturally took over the hundreds of thousands of troops in the city defense battalion

Logically speaking.

It's a good thing for him.

But Lu Tao was not happy at all in his heart.

Now the situation in the court is complicated.

The new emperor and the queen mother are both playing a game to control the military power of the city defense battalion.

Right now.

The position of the commander of the city defense battalion is a hot potato.

"Commander, Chief Feng is here. "

At this moment, under the leadership of a young soldier in the city defense battalion, a middle-aged eunuch wearing a blue robe, holding a dust, and looking arrogant, came to the military tent.

See the middle-aged eunuch.

Lu Tao's eyes sank slightly, and he recognized the identity of the other party.

Feng Yu, the personal eunuch next to the Queen Mother, is powerful in the court, and no one dares to provoke him.

Lu Tao showed a smile on his face, looked at the middle-aged eunuch, and asked curiously

"I don't know if Manager Feng is here, but what's the matter?"

Feng Yu has his back to the Queen Mother, and his power is monstrous.

On weekdays, he did evil in the court, bullying others, and all civil and military officials complained about it.

Lu Tao naturally couldn't get used to the other party.

But people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.

Feng Yu, as the queen mother's confidant, is not something he can offend.

"Commander Lu, this manager is here to congratulate you. "

"Chen Zhan, the commander of the city defense battalion, disobeyed the holy decree and was executed by His Majesty. "

"But the position of commander cannot be vacant, and the Queen Mother has decided to let you take the position of commander of the city defense battalion. "

"Commander Lu, don't hurry up and thank the Queen Mother for her kindness. "

Feng Yu's expression was arrogant, his eyes fell on Lu Tao, and he said indifferently.

As soon as this remark came out.

Lu Tao's face changed slightly, and he didn't agree immediately, thinking secretly in his heart.

What should come will come after all.

At this time, if he does not accept the queen mother's kindness, he will inevitably offend the queen mother.

But Lu Tao was loyal to the Great Zhou Dynasty, so he was naturally unwilling to be loyal to the Queen Mother, with a smile on his face, and politely refused:

"Chief Feng, the position of the commander of the city defense battalion is very important, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to take on the important task!"

"I also asked the Queen Mother to change her candidate and serve as the commander of the city defense battalion. "

As soon as this remark came out.

Feng Yu looked stunned for a moment, then reacted, his eyes were slight, he stared at Lu Tao, and said angrily

"Commander Lu, you have to think about it before answering!"

"The Queen Mother's gift, how many people can't ask for it, you still dare to refuse. "

Lu Tao was reluctant to take the position of commander of the city defense battalion.

That is to reject the Queen Mother's kindness.

Lu Tao is unwilling to be loyal to the Queen Mother, does he want to take refuge in the new emperor?

This is absolutely impossible!

In Feng Yu's opinion.

Lu Tao did not have the courage to defect to the new emperor and oppose the queen mother.

"Manager Feng, this general has already thought it through, and please tell the Queen Mother for this general, thank you for your kindness. "

Lu Tao naturally heard the threat in Feng Yu's words, his face was ugly, and his voice was low.

"Humph!".

"Commander Lu, farewell, you must not regret your decision today. "

Feng Yu's expression was cold, he couldn't help but snort coldly, waved the dust in his hand, turned around and left the military tent camp.

watched Feng Yu's figure disappear.

Lu Tao forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, his face full of disdain.

If Feng Yu is not the Queen Mother's confidant.

He would have slapped him to death a long time ago, which could make the other party so arrogant.

It's just that after this incident.

Lu Tao knew that he had rejected the Queen Mother's kindness, and he was afraid that his future situation would be difficult.

....

Meanwhile.

The screen turns.

After Feng Yu left the city defense camp, he soon came to Cining Palace to report the situation to the Queen Mother.

In the main hall, the Queen Mother looked lazy, looked at Feng Yu in front of her nobilly and gracefully, and said lightly

"Lu Tao agreed?"

Chen Zhan, the commander of the city defense battalion, fell after the fall.

The Queen Mother did not seek revenge on Gu Changsheng for the first time.

Instead, he planned to take the hundreds of thousands of troops of the city defense battalion in his hands first, and then go to Gu Changsheng to settle accounts.

That's why she sent Feng Yu, the eunuch beside her, to win over Lu Tao, the deputy commander of the city defense battalion.

"The Queen Mother forgives her sins, the slave failed to convince Commander Lu, and I hope the Queen Mother will punish her!"

Feng Yu's body trembled, lowered his body, trembled, and said with a frightened face

As soon as this remark came out.

The Queen Mother's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her noble and lazy temperament suddenly became indifferent, and she gritted her teeth and said:

"Waste stuff, you can't do a little thing. "

"Give everything that happened to Benhou and tell it carefully. "

When Feng Yu heard this, he didn't dare to hide it if he was amnesty, and told all the conversations between him and Lu Tao when he went to the city defense camp.

After listening.

The Queen Mother's phoenix eyes were slight, her face was not angry and arrogant, and she said coldly

"I don't know what to do!".

"Lu Tao didn't want to take refuge in Benhou, so he could only die!"

The Queen Mother knew that Lu Tao's character was upright and loyal to the Great Zhou Dynasty, not as easy to control as Chen Zhan.

That's why before.

The reason why Chen Zhan was able to serve as the commander of the city defense battalion, but Lu Tao was only the deputy commander.

Now Chen Zhan is dead.

Lu Tao was unwilling to be loyal to her.

Then the Queen Mother can only get rid of Lu Tao and replace him with the commander of the city defense battalion.

At this moment, Feng Yu suddenly thought of something, and said with a flattering face

"Queen Mother, the slave has a way. "

"If the temptation fails, then the coercion will definitely make Lu Tao obedient and loyal to the Queen Mother. "

When the Queen Mother heard this, her eyes were surprised, she glanced at Feng Yu, frowned lightly, and said lightly

"What can you do?".

If Lu Tao can be obedient and loyal to her.

That's naturally the best thing.

Feng Yu's face was gloomy and said meaningfully

"Queen Mother, don't you know, this Lu Tao has a daughter named Lu Xuanxuan. "

On weekdays, Lu Tao loves and dotes on this daughter very much. "

"As long as we can hold Lu Xuanxuan in our hands, Lu Tao will inevitably be obedient and loyal to the Queen Mother. "

"That's a good idea!".

The Queen Mother bowed slightly, nodded, and said in a cold voice:

"I'll leave this matter to you. "

"If Lu Tao doesn't know what to do, then get rid of the other party's daughter together. "

When Feng Yu heard this, his face was terrified, and he couldn't help but shudder.

He knew that the Queen Mother had murderous intent towards Lu Tao and Lu Xuanxuan.

Even this thing.

If he messes up, I'm afraid he will have to shed his skin if he doesn't die.

Come to think of it.

Feng Yu's face was flattering, and he said confidently

"The Queen Mother can rest assured, the minions will not let you down. "

"Hmm. "

The queen looked indifferent and nodded.
