Chapter 35: Diwu Qingrou
Chu Yang followed in, only to discover a small stone platform inside, smooth and reflective. It seemed to be made as a seat, suggesting that people often came here to sit.
As expected, Wu Yunliang waved her sleeve and sat down on it. She raised her head to look at Chu Yang, carefully scrutinizing him with a slight smile at the corner of her mouth, exuding a somewhat amiable demeanor.
"You are not bad," Wu Yunliang's first words were like this.
"Those three people are from the Golden Horse Knights Hall of the Great Zhao Dynasty. The Golden Horse Knights Hall is an absolutely secret organization under the jurisdiction of the current Prime Minister Diwu Qingrou!" Wu Yunliang didn't wait for Chu Yang to respond, and her second sentence began with an explanation.
"Golden Horse Knights Hall, Diwu Qingrou..." Chu Yang pondered; these two names were renowned in his previous life, echoing through the ages!
The Golden Horse Knights Hall was, in fact, the secret weapon of the Great Zhao Dynasty.
Although Diwu Qingrou's name sounded soft, he was a heroic overlord with extraordinary talent! It was rumored that he did not understand martial arts, but he entered school at three, became notable for his talent at five, and by thirteen had gained fame across the world for his literary prowess. At sixteen, he officially took office, managing a county with great order; by twenty, he was already the Inspector of the southeastern region of the entire Great Zhao Empire.
At twenty-five, he formally took charge of the cabinet, patrolling the entire Great Zhao Empire on behalf of the heavens. At thirty, he ascended to the position of Prime Minister, and now, at just under thirty-five, he wielded immense power, ranked just below one, above ten thousand, commanding the winds and rain, leading the literati and officials, and issuing orders across the land!
Such achievements are unparalleled throughout history!
Traditionally, civil officials and military generals were in opposition, but this Prime Minister Diwu managed to keep both civil and military officials in line. Because he possessed not only the ability to govern but also the ambition to expand territory!
Unifying the world was Diwu Qingrou's greatest dream!
In his previous life, the name Diwu Qingrou cast a shadow over the entire Lower Three Heavens Continent! It seemed that there was no conspiracy in the world that did not bear the mark and influence of Diwu Qingrou!
It was under Diwu Qingrou's design that the Golden Horse Knights Hall secretly plotted and executed the assassination of Tie Butian, the crown prince of Iron Cloud, who was recognized as the next enlightened ruler of the Iron Cloud Nation. The iron cavalry of the Great Zhao Empire thus surged in, destroying Iron Cloud. For a time, their momentum was as brilliant as the sun, and taking advantage of the aftermath, they swiftly annexed the Limitless Nation, establishing absolute hegemony across the Lower Three Heavens!
The most formidable aspect of Diwu Qingrou was that he not only utilized the power of the political court but also manipulated the forces of various martial arts sects, creating chaos or alliances through their conflicting interests, maximizing their potential to unwittingly assist the Great Zhao in achieving many objectives that the court could not or was inconvenient to pursue...
Moreover, the most astonishing thing was that afterward, no one noticed, and if he hadn't revealed it himself, the major sects might still have been in the dark!
When Chu Yang left to search for the Nine Calamity Sword in the Upper Three Heavens, the iron cavalry of the Great Zhao Empire had already destroyed Iron Cloud and Limitless and began their campaigns east and west, steadily expanding their territory. The name of the Golden Horse Knights Hall became renowned for annihilating these two nations.
Wu Yunliang, of course, did not know that Chu Yang was already aware of these matters and still took the time to explain to him what the Golden Horse Knights Hall was.
