Chapter 159 Righteous and Powerful
After receiving the imperial edict, Zhou Tieyi smiled and said to Feng Zikuan, "Eunuch Feng, you have worked hard to deliver the imperial edict. Please come to the courtyard and have a cup of tea."

Feng Zikuan did not refuse like Su Xibi.

Just like Zhou Tieyi had no intention of winning over Su Xibi, among the three eunuchs, although Feng Zikuan had the lowest status, he was the most suitable ally for the Zhou family.

Similarly, for Feng Zikuan, the Zhou family is also one of the best choices for allies.

Feng Zikuan smiled on his fair face, "I hope I won't bother you."

Zhou Tieyi did not ask to drink tea in the lobby, but went to his yard to drink tea. This was a way of winning over Feng Zikuan, which made him happier than giving him gold.

"No, I just happened to have a tea party in the courtyard, drinking tea with the flagmen under my command. Now that the imperial edict has come down, I can also admonish the flagmen to do things. As the supervisor, it is only right for you to give them a few words of instruction."

Feng Zikuan's eyes narrowed. This Zhou family member is indeed in the emperor's favor. He submitted the memorial in the morning and was sure that the emperor would approve it in the afternoon. If he had more contact with such a popular person, he would be able to bypass the constraints of the bitch Xue and send some things directly to the emperor's heart!

"This is official business, so I can't refuse. I'll just have a cup of tea."

"No, no, I want to learn more with my father-in-law and make progress together."

After hearing this, Feng Zikuan laughed and went into his courtyard with Zhou Tieyi. The eunuch under his command also brought another imperial decree.

Coming to the yard, Zhou Tieyi's apprentice Mei Juncang cleaned the teapot again.

Zhou Tieyi introduced Hu Wenlang, Mei Juncang and Wu Qian to Feng Zikuan.

Although he was not familiar with Hu Wenlang, Feng Zikuan did not ask too many questions. Instead, he just said, "Do a good job for the emperor."

Although he was in charge of supervising this matter, the piece of paper given to him by the Queen had already stated that this matter was fully handed over to Zhou Tieyi to handle, and he only needed to do his best to provide convenience.

If it succeeds, he will naturally have some credit for it. If it fails, it is not his fault as the supervisor.

But if he interferes recklessly and causes things to go wrong, even if the Emperor forgives him, the Queen Mother will not forgive him.

Without outsiders around, Feng Zikuan first took a sip of the tea Mei Juncang offered him, then nodded calmly, "You're not bad."

Everyone in the palace knew that Mei Juncang was able to "turn from darkness to light" and follow Zhou Tieyi to force his father to eat a bowl of rice, so naturally they needed to separate Mei Juncang and Mei Qingchen.

Feng Zikuan then smiled at Zhou Tieyi and said, "Zhou Zongqi is not only very capable himself, but also very good at teaching others."

Zhou Tieyi remained calm, nodded and smiled.

After drinking the tea, Feng Zikuan took another brocade box from the young eunuch and stood up again.

Zhou Tieyi also understood and stood up to take the brocade box.

"This is?"

Feng Zikuan didn't say anything, so Zhou Tieyi asked.

Feng Zikuan kept it a secret, "Zhou Zongqi, just open it and take a look, won't you know?"

Zhou Tieyi opened the brocade box, inside was a piece of calligraphy. He unfolded it and saw that the characters were flowing like dragons and snakes. Although not as vigorous and powerful as those written by the emperor, they had more of the beauty of mountains and rivers.

Tianjing News.

"It was the Queen Mother who proposed this because she knew that the General Banner wanted to publish a newspaper. The Queen Mother is also very concerned about this matter."

Zhou Tieyi smiled, folded the calligraphy again, and put it into the brocade box.

He just said calmly, "I understand this matter." Feng Zikuan frowned slightly. This was the first time he felt that Zhou Tieyi was incapable of handling things. All along, Zhou Tieyi gave him the feeling that he was not like a seventeen-year-old boy. Instead, he was a bit more smooth than the ministers in the court.

How come you don’t even say thank you when the matter has come to this?
Although he wanted to form an alliance with Zhou Tieyi, he was able to make a choice between the Queen and Zhou Tieyi very quickly.

So he thought about it and said, "I wonder where to start with this matter, Mr. Zhou?"

Zhou Tieyi glanced at Feng Zikuan. Do you really want to "supervise" me? He smiled and replied, "I'm going to go to the Right General's Mansion first. What? Eunuch Feng, do you want to accompany me?"

Feng Zikuan stared at Zhou Tieyi's eyes. Those eyes were so bright and clear that they could reflect his own figure.

Feng Zikuan suddenly realized that although Zhou Tieyi was friendly to him, he was not Zhou Tieyi's only choice.

He was only seventeen years old, but he dared to stir up trouble between the Emperor, the Empress, and the Three Officials.

And he can still live well, like a dragon emerging from the abyss.

There were even rumors that he was not on good terms with the Three Departments, and today, after receiving the imperial edict, he dared to show off in front of the Three Departments.

As the eunuch in charge, he wouldn't dare to do such a big thing.

Naturally, he didn't dare to accompany Zhou Tieyi to show off in front of the Sansi gate.

"Heroes come from young people."

Feng Zikuan sighed, bowed to Zhou Tieyi, and didn't ask Zhou Tieyi what he was going to do.

After pushing Feng Zikuan back, Zhou Tieyi began to speak in a good way, "No, this matter is very busy, and I am young, so I need the support of an experienced and prudent person like Eunuch Feng. Once the plan is detailed, I will need to borrow the power of Eunuch Feng to pressure others so that this matter can be carried out. We all have to work hard for the emperor."

Feng Zikuan nodded.

Yes, this matter was assigned to His Majesty. Although the Queen Mother was in charge of supervising it, as long as things were done well, there would only be benefits. There was no need for him to compete with Zhou Tieyi in it. This actually confirmed the Queen Mother's concerns.

Thinking of this, Feng Zikuan smiled again, "Then we will wait for the letter from General Zhou."

Zhou Tieyi personally poured Feng Zikuan a cup of tea as a farewell gift, then went to his bedroom and took a piece of jade from the table to play with. Although the item was not expensive, his attitude had to be made clear. If the job was done well, the Zhou family would also benefit from Feng Zikuan's services.

After seeing Feng Zikuan off, Zhou Tieyi instructed Mei Juncang, "Prepare the carriage and go to the Right General's Mansion."

Mei Juncang stood up and went to prepare the frame.

Zhou Tieyi looked at the brocade box on the tea table, thought for a moment, and then said to his elder brother, "You ask Ada and the other four to select another fifty people from the personal guards and teach them the basic Five Elements Formation. I will train them when I have time."

Before, limited by the number of his [Blood God Sons] and the strength of A Da and his top five men, Zhou Tieyi only planned to help him train his personal guards after A Da and his top five men had condensed their Qi.

But now that I have condensed the [Martial Arts] priesthood, everything is different.

Especially for the personal guards of the Zhou Mansion, who were originally practicing the simplified version of [Record of Supervising Soldiers and Killing Demons], they could indeed try to use [Martial Arts] instead of Blood God Son to deduce the Five Elements Military Formation.

If he could really train fifty seventh-rank personal guards and combine them with his own martial arts talent, he would truly have the strength to gain a foothold in this extraordinary world.

He looked at the word "righteousness" on the back of his left hand, smiled and thought, justice without power is nothing but a fool's dream.

To change this world, you must be righteous and powerful!
