"A beast in human clothing, a beast in human clothing." Standing at the gate of Fuyao Palace, looking at the purple-robed and red-robed officials standing solemnly in the palace according to their titles and ranks, Lu Yi said in a deep voice: "The whole court is full of beasts!"

Standing behind Lu Yi, two young eunuchs in purple robes who were responsible for communicating inside and outside the hall burst out laughing.

All the eunuchs who can serve in Fuyao Palace are clever people who can pretend to be monkeys by wrapping themselves in a layer of fur. Lu Yi's words were ambiguous, but the malice in his words could be figured out with a little thought.

A young eunuch lowered his voice and whispered, "Lord Lu is a wonderful person."

Lu Yi chuckled, put his hands in his sleeves, and leaned against a pillar outside the hall.

The Shougong Supervisor is a special agency of the inner court. Lu Yi is an official appointed by the Shougong Supervisor. According to the law, he is not qualified to enter the Fuyao Palace to participate in government affairs.

However, as a member of the violent organization of the Palace Guards and a close minister to the emperor, Lu Yi and a group of other Palace Guards generals wearing red robes could stand outside the hall and wait for the emperor's call at any time.

Once the news came from the main hall, "Drag so-and-so out and give him 300 beatings with the cane," that would be the job of the palace guard.

Through the hall, Lu Yi saw a large group of civil and military nobles dancing and bowing to the empress dowager on the throne and behind the thick curtains behind the throne, shouting "Long live the empress dowager" and "Long live your majesty."

Afterwards, the civil and military officials stood still and changed into a set of royal robes. Yinyuan, with a flush of excitement on his face, waved his hand fiercely at the civil and military officials below: "Forget it, you have to do this cumbersome ceremony every time. Even if you are not tired, I am tired of watching it."

At the side, an official wearing a red robe, with a dignified face, coughed heavily.

This is the court ceremonial officer, an extremely complicated official position.

The duty of the Court Ceremony Officer was to warn the emperor or his ministers when they lost their temper in the court, or even punish officials who violated etiquette. In a sense, some of the powers of the Court Ceremony Officer in the Fuyao Palace even surpassed those of the emperor.

In the history of Dayin, there was once a general who lost his manners and was ordered by the court ceremonial officer to be dragged out and beaten with a stick!

But times have changed, and as for the ceremonial officials in the court of Dayin today...it's better not to talk about them.

Yin Yuan turned his head and looked at the court official, and said with concern: "This lord, have you caught a cold? If you are sick, go home and lie down... Don't infect the ministers with the cold."

The court official's face turned purple and he pursed his lips tightly.

Yin Yuan started laughing. He looked at the many ministers below and said proudly, "I have called all the ministers to a court meeting today to discuss several important matters. The first one is that the greatest merit is to save the emperor."

Yin Yuan glanced at the many ministers below. Most of them looked at him in confusion, wondering what tricks this emperor, who could only attend court twice a year, would play today.

However, since the Queen Mother is here too, then...it won't be a big deal, right?

Le Wu, who was standing at the head of the line of military officers, looked behind him and saw a general wearing golden armor and a purple cloak with a Kunpeng pattern, with a stout figure and a face full of flesh, stepping out of the line and saying, "Your Majesty is right. The greatest merit is to save the emperor. This has been the rule for many dynasties for many years."

Yin Yuan smiled brightly: "So, what if someone saves me and the Queen Mother at the same time?"

Le Wu patted his belly vigorously with his right hand and laughed loudly: "Well, it is of course a great achievement. There is no greater achievement than this!"

If the emperor simply wanted to reward Lu Fu, Le Wu might have caused trouble or something.

But since he had witnessed the miraculous scene of Lu Yi's 'catching ghosts' last night, and the Queen Mother was also planning to reward Lu Yi handsomely, Le Wu would definitely not have any objection.

Not only did he have no objection, he also agreed with both hands.

Yin Yuan nodded in satisfaction: "What the general said makes a lot of sense. So, last night, the Queen Mother and I were in great danger in the imperial city. When we were almost in dire straits, the pillar of the country, Lu Yi, came to our rescue. This contribution should be rewarded handsomely!"

Lu Yu was standing next to Le Wu.

As the emperor's close confidant, after suppressing the rebellion in the Prime Minister's Mansion last night, he went straight into the palace to report the matter to Yinyuan.

After a while, daybreak came.

As a confidant, Lu Yu had been chatting with Yin Yuan in the Fuyao Palace, but he did not line up outside with other civil and military officials to enter the Fuyao Palace. He did not even know what happened in the imperial city last night.

Yinyuan, didn’t tell him about this!

Suddenly hearing that Lu Yi had actually saved the empress dowager and the emperor, Lu Yu looked up in great surprise, looked at the emperor in horror, then turned his head to look outside the hall door, where Lu Yi was leaning against a pillar and yawning.

Le Wu was already shouting, "The emperor is right, this must be rewarded handsomely!"

Yin Yuan smiled and pointed at Yu Changle who was standing beside him: "Draft the decree. I want to confer the title of Duke of Tianyang on Lu Qing."

With a loud bang, all the civil and military officials in the court were in an uproar. Even the court ceremonial officer did not bother to observe the court etiquette. He raised his head with a look of inexplicable horror and stared at Yin Yuan in a daze.

Become a duke!

Those empty shell "gong" titles that Yinyuan sold in order to make money do not count.

How many years has it been since a new, 'real' duke appeared in the imperial court?

A few years ago, the title of marquis was bestowed on Lu Di, the Marquis of Tian'en, which caused quite a stir. Now, the emperor is actually going to confer the title of duke on another person?

Lu Yu blinked his eyes, stroked his long beard vigorously, and said nothing.

Lu Yu, now a member of the Jingyang Lu family, is a descendant of the Tian'en Marquisate.
Lu Yi was granted the title of Duke?

Very good.

No matter how he got the title of Duke, in short, Lu Yu's surname is Lu, and he was born in the Jingyang Lu family. This is definitely a good thing for Lu Yu and the Tian'en Marquisate.

What if Lu Fu could still gain a certain amount of real power, for example, like Lu Yu, and lead an army outside?

The corners of Lu Yu's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a subtle smile.

Among the civil servants, those officials who knew the name Lu Yi and the grudge between Lu Yi and Bai Changkong were like toads struck by lightning, stunned and speechless.

After a long while, Bai Changkong twitched his eyes and glanced at several senior officials from the Imperial College in the civil service train.

Several officials in purple and red robes had stern faces and were about to walk out of the train to refute the emperor. The contemporary Duke of Lai, Lu Yu, rushed out from the front of the noble train in a hurry, like a wild bull stung by a wasp.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable. Lu Yi is a man without moral integrity and talent, who is rebellious and rebellious..."

Just as Lu Yu was about to deliver a long speech, Lu Yu strode out from the class and shouted, "Duke Lai is wrong. Lu Yu is a member of the Tian'en Marquis family. I don't know whether he is talentless or not, but you want to say that he is rebellious, haha!"

Lu Yu walked in front of Lu Yu, like a piece of black iron tower, standing in front of a group of white, round steamed dumplings.

Looking down at Lu Yu, who was more than two feet shorter than him and whose aura was far different from his, Lu Yu was already holding his breath because of the evil spirit on Lu Yu, and his whole body was trembling slightly. Lu Yu sneered, "I am the head of the Tian'en Marquisate. What kind of son is this in my family? I haven't even opened my mouth yet, and the Duke of Lai is stretching his hand too far."

Lu Yu stared at Lu Yu blankly.

After entering the hall for such a long time, Lu Yu had been immersed in the excitement of Bai Changkong's initiative to extend an olive branch to him. His heart was in a daze and he did not even notice Lu Yu, who was over ten feet tall and stood out among a group of tall and strong military heroes.

Lu Yu was stunned when he suddenly saw Lu Yu. Then he suddenly jumped back two steps and screamed: "My--mother, are you Lu Yu? You, you, you took the wrong medicine? How come you are so tall and strong?"

Yin Yuan widened his eyes and glared at Lu Yu fiercely.

He suddenly remembered the old grudge - Lu Yu saved him, and he was a grateful emperor, so he wanted to make Lu Yu a duke. However, Lu Yu also jumped out and, as the head of the Lu family, strongly opposed Yin Yuan's reward to Lu Yu.

Now, it was Lu Yu who jumped out again and opposed Yinyuan's reward to Lu Yi.

Yin Yuan gritted his teeth and sneered sinisterly, "Where is the court official? What crime should be committed for uttering obscene words in public in Fuyao Palace?"

The court official was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, then screamed in fear: "Your Majesty, I didn't!"

Yin Yuan pointed at Lu Yu fiercely: "You cursed 'my--mother'!"

Lu Yu was stunned and waved his hands hurriedly: "I meant, 'my --mother'!"

Yin Yuan slammed the dragon table fiercely: "You really confessed yourself. You cursed my - mother, who is my - mother? Who is it? Ah? Who is it?"

Lu Yu was so frightened that he froze. He hissed, "Your Majesty, I said 'my—mother'. I didn't say, say, say, 'your—his—mother'!"

The court official's face twitched.

The faces of the civil and military ministers twitched.

Bai Changkong's eyes turned red with anger - he knew that most of the military heroes of the Dayin Dynasty had become useless, but he never expected that there would be such a useless and weird existence like Lu Yu!

Now, no one can save Lu Yu.

The court official was so angry that his face was twisted and his eyes were bloodshot. He shouted hoarsely, "Where is the Godly General? Drag this traitor who dares to spit foul language in front of the emperor away and give him eighty slaps in the face!"

Outside the Fuyao Palace, beside Lu Yu, a row of mighty soldiers, with an average height of over eight feet five inches, broad-shouldered and fat, wearing red robes, golden armor, and cloaks with Kunpeng patterns, with every part of their armor polished to a shine, responded in unison. Immediately, a dozen burly men rushed into the Fuyao Palace, grabbed Lu Yu and walked out.

"Your Majesty, it's all unjust!" Lu Yu wailed at the top of his lungs.

"He roared in the court and should be fined 10 million coins!" Yin Yuan smiled, tapped the dragon table lightly with his fingers, and slowly issued an order to Yu Changle.

Yu Changle smiled brightly.

Lu Yu was screaming and crying out for injustice, and it was not unfair at all for him to roar in the court.

If it were the founding emperor, a Lu Yu like this would have been dragged out and beheaded.

But who can blame the current emperor for being kind-hearted?

The emperor doesn't like killing people, he just likes money.

As long as Lu Yu pays the fine honestly, right? There is nothing that can't be solved.

"Okay, now, I want to confer the title of Duke of Tianyang on Lu Yi. Who agrees? Who opposes? Those who oppose, please stand up and explain your reasons!"

Yinyuan looked at the civil and military officials in the court with certainty.
