Chapter 235 The Minister
Chu Zhiyuan floated away.
"Chi chi chi chi!"
The red light flashed, as if it turned into a sea of fire.
The sword of Feng Xi Jiutian Jue caused the surrounding area to become hot instantly.
Chu Zhiyuan's figure fluttered and he dodged with ease.
It can be seen that her cultivation has improved a lot.
She is improving herself, and she is not idle either.
Being in an enemy country, he has been doing various things and has not stopped advancing in cultivation.
This Li Hongzhao is indeed a strong opponent.
In particular, she practices the Nine Heavens of Feng Xi, which leads her directly to the Grand Master, and she is a powerful enemy among powerful enemies.
Even though I have entered the realm very quickly now, no one knows how long I will be stuck in Grandmaster Consummation.
Maybe she would be surpassed.
If you have the chance, you have to hit her and let her have a psychological shadow, just like Cheng Tianfeng.
Chu Zhiyuan strolled in the light of her sword, shaking his head.
"This sword won't work."
"Well, that's okay."
"If you can slow it down a little bit, it will be more powerful."
"It's too fast. Your sword moves are too fast, which damages the original essence. The timing is not mastered well."
"Swordsmanship is good, but you haven't practiced it well enough."
"Chu Zhiyuan, shut up!" Li Hongzhao suddenly withdrew his sword, returned it to its sheath and glared at him.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Others ask me for advice, but I haven't had the opportunity yet, but Your Highness doesn't cherish it."
"Who needs your guidance?" Li Hongzhao curled his lips disdainfully.
Chu Zhiyuan sat down and took a sip of tea: "Your Highness, ten Phoenix Immortal Pills can solve a knot in your heart. Isn't it a good deal?"
"There are only five. If it doesn't work, forget it!"
"Six!...How to divide the five? Should I give three to my mother or three to my father?"
"...Four!"
"Six!"
"Okay, six pills then!" Li Hongzhao glared at him bitterly: "Kill that guy, and the Phoenix Immortality Pill will be in your hands!"
"Okay." Chu Zhiyuan looked very dissatisfied and reluctantly agreed: "When will we take action?"
"How about tomorrow?"
"It will take at least two days to wait. The Zhenwu Division needs to prepare something."
"Then take action early the day after tomorrow!"
"Okay."
……
Tingtao Courtyard
Chu Zhiyuan looked at the center of the courtyard. Except for some fresh soil, there was no other trace.
Everything has returned to its original appearance, and it is still the original Tingtao Courtyard.
Wisps of purple light have been falling down, like light rain falling continuously.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled.
Mo Yi stood aside and said with a smile: "Master, how are you?"
The other three women also came over.
Chu Zhiyuan patted her shoulders approvingly, and then patted their shoulders respectively, making them smile.
"Your Majesty, there is an imperial edict coming!" Feng Xi arrived in the air.
Chu Zhiyuan raised his sword eyebrows and said with a smile: "Then go and see what kind of favor the emperor's grandfather has."
It’s finally here, the emperor’s reward is finally coming!
He was excited and strode forward.
Because the great master Huang Cheng was here, Dongzhao was disturbed, so he didn't bother to look ahead.
Arriving in the front yard, Huang Cheng was drinking tea accompanied by Chu Minghou.
Bai Ningshuang hasn't come back from the palace yet, and Chu Yi is very busy in Wanqingyuan.
Seeing him coming, Huang Cheng stood up, clasped his fists and smiled: "My slave, congratulations to the Crown Prince."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Envoy Huang, what is the imperial grandfather's purpose?"
Huang Cheng picked up the imperial edict from a red sandalwood plate held by a middle-aged eunuch in red robes and presented it to Chu Zhiyuan: "Your Majesty, even this servant doesn't know."
Chu Zhiyuan took it with both hands and quickly opened it. His expression changed slightly and he looked at Chu Minghou.
Chu Minghou smiled and said: "Yuan'er, what is your father's will?"
"Congratulations, father." Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile: "I sent an extra mission to my father."
"I——?" Chu Minghou was startled.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Minister of the Ministry of Industry, my father will not have any leisure now."
The Minister of Industry, that is the first person under the Minister, can be said to be a senior official.
From now on, the situation of Prince Qing's Mansion will completely change.
This is a clear sign. It was a signal that the emperor no longer disliked it.
The predicament of Prince Qing's Mansion will be completely resolved, and from now on, there will be no need to worry about being ignored.
The courtyard will no longer be left out in the cold.
Chu Minghou had a loyal and affectionate temperament and was extremely popular. If it weren't for the emperor's attitude, he would not have been so isolated.
"This..." Chu Minghou hesitated.
He has lived in the palace for a long time, devoted himself to painting, and was obsessed with painting. He has no mind to pay attention to these worldly things.
Suddenly he was asked to be the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, and he suddenly felt like he was weighed down by a heavy burden that made him breathless.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Father, after taking this position, I just hand over the tasks to the left and right ministers. Now I am taking the position of the left minister. I am still very leisurely."
"...Oh, I'm really not this material." Chu Minghou smiled bitterly and looked at Huang Cheng: "Huang Cheng, tell your father, I..."
"Father, it's up to you to tell the emperor's grandfather in person, don't embarrass Huang Zhongshi."
"I..." Chu Minghou said helplessly: "I can't speak to my father."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Then agree to it first. If you can't do it, it won't be too late."
It would be okay to resolve the situation in the palace first, and then resign.
But depending on the situation, my father really can't continue with his leisure.
Look at those princes and princes, and then look at the princes of the previous generation, there are very few who are indifferent.
If you are eating the salary from the imperial court, then work obediently. The royal family does not support idlers.
In the Great Jing Dynasty, it was not easy for the royal family's children to become rich and idle.
"Alas..., this can only be the case." Chu Minghou kept sighing.
Chu Zhiyuan cupped his fists and thanked Huang Cheng.
Huang Cheng quickly said goodbye and left.
Chu Zhiyuan's mood was quite complicated.
It’s really hard to say that this reward is generous. It’s hard to say that it’s generous, and it doesn’t cost anything at all.
Speaking of being stingy, to Prince Qing's Mansion, it is indeed more important than other rewards.
One can only admire the emperor's means to accomplish big things with small money.
……
After Bai Ningshuang returned home, she was immediately delighted when she heard this decree.
Chu Yi thought it would be great to work as a minister in the Ministry of Industry. It was the most suitable for his father. He had light responsibilities, was free and could be lazy, and was the most suitable.
After some analysis and persuasion by the two women, Chu Minghou gradually relaxed his brows.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Many officials in the Ministry of Industry are talented people. Maybe my father can find many colleagues who are proficient in painting. Exchanges with each other will help improve their skills."
"It makes sense." Chu Minghou smiled.
The family atmosphere was very good, and we felt that the clouds had finally cleared and we could see the bright moon.
Chu Zhiyuan then said that he was going to Taizhou the day after tomorrow as he was on a mission.
Bai Ningshuang didn't ask any more questions, and Chu Yi also reassured him.
All he was thinking about was the Minister of Industry, what preparations he had to make, and when he would go to court.
Chu Zhiyuan became Zuo Shilang, but he never went to court because he was still practicing in Mingwu Palace.
Chu Minghou is going to court.
A lot of thinking, nervous, excited and busy.
——
The morning sun has just risen.
Thousands of feet of golden light shines on the pine forest outside Taizhou City.
The pine forest is covered with white snow, like countless soldiers wearing white hats lining up.
In a clearing in the forest, hundreds of people were standing solemnly.
Chu Zhiyuan saw that almost all of the hundred faces were unfamiliar.
This is different from the last time the Jade Cauldron Sect was annihilated. There are also fewer masters.
Taizhou City is different from Yujing, and the evil demons here are not that strong.
What's more, good things can't just happen to one person, and the Zhenwu Division must also pay attention to the rain and dew.
Chu Zhiyuan was followed by Huang Cheng.
Li Hongzhao was followed by Su Qiuyan.
With these two great masters in charge, no more great masters came.
Chu Zhiyuan was responsible for initiating this operation.
The specific host is Huang Shirong, the head of the Second West Hall.
She is the youngest grandmaster, a true disciple of Baiyun Sword Palace, and the head of the Second West Hall, with sufficient position and prestige.
Chu Zhiyuan had already made arrangements with Li Hongzhao and handed over maps one by one to Huang Shirong.
The masters of each evil sect are marked on the map, how many there are, and what realm each is.
After looking at these maps, Chu Zhiyuan was shocked.
After he got the map yesterday, he went to look at the intelligence about Taizhou from the Supervision Department, but it was not so detailed.
