Abandoned Prince: Summon the Sword God at the beginning

Chapter 71 The Abandoned Son of the Family

The ruler of Later Tang trusted Ouyang Lu very much and entrusted all state affairs to him. As a result, Ouyang Lu gradually gained power.

After gaining power, Ouyang Lu completely tore off his disguise. He formed a clique to fight against dissidents, appointed his cronies, controlled the cabinet, and placed his fellow townsmen, students, and classmates in key departments of the court.

As the ruler of Later Tang grew older, he attended court less and less, but in the end, he simply stopped attending court and indulged in women all day long. Ouyang Lu also catered to his tastes and searched everywhere for beautiful women to offer to the ruler for his enjoyment.

Gradually, the Later Tang Dynasty became a one-man show under Ouyang Lu, the royal power was accelerated, and the power of the prime minister almost replaced the royal power.

At this moment, Ouyang Lu was full of confidence. He had cleared all obstacles. In a few days, he would ascend the throne as king.

The hard work of the past few days is nothing compared to the king's throne.

As soon as he entered the mansion, the butler came to his side and said, "Master, the princess has been captured and is being held in the storage room of the mansion."

Ouyang Lu smiled and said, "Since you are Her Royal Highness the Princess, I would like to meet you. In a few days, the Later Tang will have its name changed. This country will no longer exist, and the princesses of the Later Tang will become rare things."

The steward led the prime minister to the storage room. There were many storage rooms in the prime minister's residence, and even Ouyang Lu couldn't remember their specific locations. Besides, these trivial matters were not something that a prime minister like him should worry about.

Soon, Ouyang Lu came to the storage room where Zhao Feiyan was, and the manager said: "Master, she is in there."

Ouyang Lu waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can leave. I will handle this matter."

The steward retreated respectfully. Prime Minister Ouyang Lu opened the door of the storage room and saw a young woman sitting on the ground, as if waiting for someone.

Zhao Feiyan said, "Prime Minister, you are finally back. I have been waiting for you for so long."

Ouyang Lu looked gloomy and asked, "Are you Princess Zhao Feiyan?"

"Yes, it is this princess. We have finally settled our accounts."

Ouyang Lu smiled and said, "Princess, please speak! I am all ears."

Zhao Feiyan asked, "Prime Minister, how does my father treat you?"

Ouyang Lu said truthfully: "Your Majesty has shown me great kindness, and I will never forget it."

Zhao Feiyan asked, "If that's the case, how did the Prime Minister treat my father?"

Ouyang Lu said: "Your Highness, it is true that the king has been very kind to me, but for decades, I have worked diligently to manage government affairs for him and have not dared to slack off. I thought he would confer me the title of Marquis, but he did not even give me an earldom."

Princess Zhao Feiyan said: "My Lord Prime Minister, you are already in a high position and hold great power. Asking for a flashy title is just icing on the cake."

Ouyang Lu shouted, “You were born into a royal family, even if you don’t have a title, you are still a noble.

But I am different. I was born in a humble family. Even though I hold a high position and ride a fine horse, I have no title. In my heart, I will always feel inferior to those royal relatives and royal children.

I have hinted this to the king many times, but he pretended not to know. Later, I instructed the ministers to write a letter to ask for a title for me, but it was rejected. "

Zhao Feiyan asked, "Is this your excuse for betraying my father?"

Ouyang Lu laughed loudly and said, "Betrayal? I have never been loyal to him, so how can I talk about betrayal? This is simply ridiculous!"

Zhao Feiyan said: "In this case, I don't want to waste time talking to you. Prepare to die." She used her inner strength to break free from the shackles and attacked the powerful minister Ouyang Lu.

Ouyang Lu did not dodge, but waited quietly for Zhao Feiyan to make a move. As soon as the princess's first round of attack arrived, he easily resolved it.

Zhao Feiyan's heart sank. It turned out that Ouyang Lu was actually a martial arts master. No one in the Later Tang Dynasty had ever heard that the Prime Minister knew martial arts. He must have hidden it very well.
