Chapter 20 Marriage
Chu Zhiyuan was slowly entering the door, coming slowly towards this side, and when he got close, he clasped his fists and said with a smile: "It's late again."
"Hey, we were so excited that we couldn't sleep. We came early." Chu Mingxuan immediately told the arrival of the three of them, and then asked Chu Zhiyuan.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "I have entered the innate world."
The three of them were stunned.
"Fourth, are you really innate?"
"Well, thanks to Uncle Shiba's medicinal wine, I was able to break through three levels in one go."
"...Mom, you can't be convinced." Chu Mingxuan shook his head helplessly.
I originally thought that breaking one level would be a big deal, but Chu Zhiyuan actually broke three levels and went straight to the innate world. Comparing people to others is really infuriating.
"Fourth brother, you haven't really mastered the Jade Lock and Golden Pass technique, have you?" Chu Zhichuan asked.
He felt that the three of him could break through the first level, and Chu Zhiyuan could break through the third level. The gap should not be so big. The most likely one was the Jade Lock Golden Pass Technique.
"Yes," Chu Zhiyuan smiled.
"Fourth Brother, have you mastered the Jade Lock Golden Pass Technique?!"
Chu Mingxuan took a breath of air.
They had all practiced the Jade Lock Golden Pass Technique, but they found that it was not practiced by humans at all. It should be a work of whim, a splicing of inheritances from several ancient sects.
He had always felt that it was impossible for anyone to truly master it, and he felt that Chu Zhiyuan was also trying to practice it. Anyone who believed in his talent would go through this step.
Now it is obvious that Chu Zhiyuan has mastered it.
This shocked them even more than him stepping into Xiantian.
"It's also a coincidence. The Jade Lock Golden Pass Technique is indeed the best at breaking through the barrier. Uncle Eighteen and my ninth and tenth brothers might as well give it a try."
"Forget it!" Chu Zhiting shook his head directly: "It's impossible to practice it... You are worthy of being fourth brother."
Since Chu Zhiyuan came to Mingwu Palace, he first won the championship in a martial arts competition, and then killed twenty monsters in the winter hunt. The former was okay, but the latter was too shocking.
He knew at that time that Chu Zhiyuan could not be judged by common sense.
Chu Zhiyuan looked at Chu Zhichuan.
Chu Zhichuan's handsome face was tense, his eyes were burning, and he finally shook his head.
He refused to admit defeat at the beginning and spent a lot of time on the Jade Lock Golden Pass Technique. In the end, he made no progress and could only give up in frustration.
Many times when I think about it, I feel that it was a waste of time, otherwise I would have already entered the innate world.
While the four of them were talking, other people arrived one after another.
When Chu Qingfeng appeared in a flash, his eyes fell on Chu Zhiyuan.
Chu Zhiyuan stepped forward: "Uncle, I have entered the innate world."
"Well, not bad." Chu Qingfeng nodded calmly, without any hesitation: "It's just innate, there is still a long way to go."
Chu Zhiyuan then asked if he could continue to stay in Mingwu Hall and come over to study, and Chu Qingfeng readily agreed.
Then I asked him where he was going. He heard that he wanted to go to the Ministry of Rites, so he shook his head and said nothing.
Others were furious and advised him to be cautious, think twice, not to make a hasty decision, and not to go to the Ministry of Rites.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said nothing more.
——
Yujing is particularly noisy in the early morning.
The bright sunshine shines on the streets and alleys, and every household bathes in the morning light and comes out to find breakfast.
There is fragrance everywhere in the city.
Chu Zhiyuan was sitting on the third floor of Liuyun Tower, with Guo Chi and Zou Fang at the table.
It was the same table and seat where he had sat a few days ago.
The table not far away was no longer the table of old people, but four middle-aged wealthy men, who were also chatting while eating.
Ordinary people cannot enter Liuyun Tower. They are either rich or noble. If they have money and leisure, they don't have to be as busy as the bustling people on the street.
Chu Zhiyuan put down the silver chopsticks and glanced across the third floor of Liuyun Tower.
It was only a few days, but it felt like years to him.
At that time, I was just the heir apparent who had just been released from the royal palace. Now he is an innate master and will go to the Ministry of Etiquette to perform his duties tomorrow.
The Ministry of Rites has five departments, one hall and one bureau, the General Affairs Department, the Mining and Seal Bureau, as well as the Ceremony Department, the Sacrifice Department, the Host and Guest Department, the Fine Food Department, and the Zongwu Department.
Among them, the fifth division is the main body. He is now a member of the Zongwu Division, ranking fifth. This is already the goal that countless court officials strive for, but it is his starting point. This is the nobility of the prince.
And this position is also leisurely enough.
The highest official of the Ministry of Rites is Shangshu, and the chief officer of the fourth department is Langzhong.
As a deputy, he can be responsible for official affairs or idle duties. He can only be busy and idle at a moment's notice.
Among the five departments, the Department of Ceremonies was busy with academic affairs and imperial examinations, the Department of Hosts and Guests was busy with receiving foreign guests and interacting with foreign envoys, the Department of Fine Dining was busy with banquets and meals in the palace, and the Department of Priests was responsible for sacrificial activities and astronomical records.
The Zongwu Division where he works is responsible for communicating with various martial arts sects and mediating conflicts among various martial arts sects, thereby maintaining the stability of the martial arts forest.
Because of his aloof status, his status is also aloof. Moreover, he is a member of the Communist Party of China, so ordinary trivial matters do not fall on him, so he is quite leisurely.
So now I have time to go out for breakfast without having to rush to Mingwu Hall.
"I heard, there's another fight in the north!"
"Old Hu, who did you listen to?"
"Hey, I have a nephew who is from the Supervision Department. He has secret information. The information is sealed now. In fact, a fight has already started."
"Dazhen or Dameng?"
"Of course it's Dameng. Dazhen has been brought down by Prince Ying, and Dameng is on the run again. It's really hard to clean up!"
"Then let the British prince go to the Mongolian border."
"I'm afraid Prince Ying won't be able to go."
"What's wrong?"
"Many ministers have come forward to impeach the King of England for brutally killing prisoners, withholding military pay, and allowing troops to kill good soldiers while taking credit for their merits. I am afraid that the King of England will have to stay behind closed doors as soon as he comes back. How can he go to the north again!"
"These guys didn't even fart during the fight. After the fight, they all became more energetic, bullshit!"
"Alas..."
Chu Zhiyuan listened thoughtfully.
The war breaks out again, not in Dazhen, but in Dameng.
The King of England is indeed an excellent candidate, but we can also understand the concerns of the ministers. After all, the King of England has made enough contributions.
He guarded the northwest border for ten years and made outstanding military achievements. With his military merits, he was promoted to the commander-in-chief of Zhenbei and commanded the entire northwest frontier army. Once he went to the north, with the ability of the British prince, he would probably turn the north into his territory.
How many ministers will this keep them awake?
Power is like a piece of cake. If you eat more piece, I will eat less piece.
With the Prince of England acting like this, does it mean that there is no longer any suspense about the next emperor and he is definitely the next emperor?
The emperor was in his prime in the Spring and Autumn Period, but it was not yet time for him to step down and enter the four caves to focus on cultivation.
Suppressing the British prince may be in line with the emperor's wishes.
All the officials in these imperial courts are good at figuring out people's hearts. How could they not figure out the holy will?
Impeaching the British prince has now become the mainstream and trend in the imperial court.
"I heard that an envoy from Dazhen returned to the capital with Prince Ying."
"Huh——?"
"It is said that Dazhen wants to marry us."
"Real or fake? Impossible?"
"This news is very secretive, but it is definitely true."
"You can find out such secret information, Lao Hu, are you bragging?"
"Believe it or not, you will know after a while!"
Chu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Dazhen and Dajing are enemies, how can they get married?
Today, there are three largest countries in the world: Dajing, Dazhen, and Dameng. There are also some small countries such as Dali, Dajian, and unknown countries.
The three major powers have been fighting openly and secretly almost all the time.
Now that they are getting married, the news is a bit outrageous.
Thinking of this, he shook his head, stood up and said, "Let's go."
Guo Chi hurriedly picked another piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it hard while keeping up with Chu Zhiyuan. Zou Fang had already gotten up early, picked up the mink fur and mink hat and followed.
