Chapter 560 Persuading Jin Biao
"Fellow Daoist Chu, I have something here that I need your help to complete." Gu Xu looked at Chu Fengge beside him and said.
"What's the matter?"
Hearing that Gu Xu asked for help from him, Chu Fengge felt particularly happy: Even the saints and strong men have things they can't do. I need someone from Chu. With your help, I, Chu Fengge, am indeed unique and irreplaceable in this world.
However, he still maintained an iceberg-like cold expression on his face, trying his best to hide his joy.
Gu Xu pondered for a moment and briefly described what happened in Yihe County to Chu Fengge.
Before he finished speaking, Chu Fengge immediately jumped up angrily.
"Damn dog official, he actually did such a shameful thing! I'm going to kill that bastard Zhu Yanchao with a sword!"
Although Chu Fengge was too narcissistic, He often behaves in an unserious manner, but deep down he is a person with a strong sense of justice.
When he was in the Lu family's haunted house last year, when he learned that the Daqi soldiers were humiliating the prisoners' women and servants in private, he felt furious and threatened to castrate all those scum.
Today, if Gu Xu hadn't pulled him, he might have rushed out without looking back.
“Fellow Daoist Chu, there are a few things I need to explain to you,” Gu Xu looked at Chu Fengge and said seriously, “First of all, those scorpion monsters on Fuyu Mountain, you can handle them Let’s go and chop them down together, otherwise killing Zhu Yanchao alone will only treat the symptoms of Yihe County’s problems but not the root cause.”
Hearing that there were monsters to kill, Chu Fengge patted his chest and said confidently: “No problem. , it’s all on me.”
“In addition, if you find out during the mission that other officials, especially Da Qi’s recent demotion, are involved, don’t act rashly. "Yes." Gu Xu continued.
Chu Fengge stopped smiling and frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy.
He felt that Gu Xu underestimated his ability.
When Chu Fengge was about to draw his sword and walk outside the house again, Gu Xu pulled him back again.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, you have just joined the rebel army. You have no official position and no position. It is unfair to go and do things." Gu Xu said while turning to look at Luo Chuan next to him, "Wenchang , what kind of title do you think is more appropriate for Fellow Daoist Chu?"
Hearing the word "title", Chu Fengge perked up and stared straight at Luo Chuan. , a lot of crazy and cool titles like "General of the Universe", "Marshal of Demons and Demons", "Mighty and Powerful Governor" flashed through his mind.
"Emperor, Chu Fengge has not made any achievements yet, so I rashly grant him a high position. I'm afraid I won't be able to convince everyone," Luo Chuan replied, "It's better to let him be an envoy first and act on behalf of heaven temporarily."< br>
"Imperial Envoy" means "Imperial Envoy Minister".
The imperial envoy of the Da Qi Dynasty now has a bad reputation and has become a lucrative job.
These envoys holding the emperor's scepter were supposed to deal with special matters, be fair and just, and take down all local corrupt elements in the name of the emperor.
However, the imperial envoys of the Daqi Dynasty often "only drew their bows but did not fire arrows." They did not go to the prefecture or county where the incident occurred, nor did they go to interrogate the criminals. Instead, they colluded with local officials, accepting bribes, eating, drinking and having fun.
As for the outcome of the case, the imperial envoy doesn't care, and neither does Emperor Tianxing.
There were even imperial envoys like Tang Hui who took advantage of the opportunity to raid the house, burned, killed, raped and looted, turning the Lu family's mansion into a ghost house.
During her reign, Princess Zhaoning did try to change the status quo, but as a mortal with no cultivation, she ultimately did not have enough deterrence and control over the officialdom, and every decree ended up being a piece of paper. .
Gu Xu thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
He raised his pen in the air and sketched a few talismans at will.
The tip of the Jinghong pen emits light golden light, transforming into a simple eight-foot bamboo pole, with three knots made of yak tails tied on it. At this time, Gu Xu had not yet ascended the throne, so he could not grant the scepter to his subordinates. But among the rebels, no one should be able or dare to say the word "no".
"Do your job well," Gu Xu solemnly handed the scepter to Chu Fengge, "Don't ruin the reputation of the envoy under my rule."
Chu Fengge took the scepter.
Logically speaking, he should bow and thank you now.
Although he accepted Gu Xu's poems, gained Gu Xu's appreciation, and had the opportunity he had always longed for to show off his skills and punish sins, he still could not let go of his pride in front of Gu Xu. With a straight face and his chin raised higher, he turned and walked out of the house.
At the moment when he took off with his sword, the entire Liangzhou City heard his loud chanting of poetry:
"I am Shanshui Lang of Qingdu, the god of heaven and Shukuang..."
.........
"Hey, this is really troublesome for the emperor." After Chu Fengge left, Luo Chuan shook his head and sighed, "Not only is it unruly, but it also troubles the emperor." Write a poem for him..."
"Fortunately," Gu Xu smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "In fact, I didn't write that word, I copied it from the memory of that kid from another world. I thought it was appropriate today, so I used it.”
Although Gu Xu didn't like to use the power of "control" to forcibly control the thoughts of his subordinates like the original Emperor Ziwei did.
But from the memory of "ruling" Dao Ze and the remnant soul of Emperor Ziwei, he gradually learned to gain the loyalty of his ministers by meeting their different material and spiritual needs.
Chu Fengge was narcissistic, vain, and eager to be respected, so Gu Xu spared no effort to praise him and coax him.
Words don’t cost money anyway.
In Gu Xu's opinion, it is much easier to deal with such idealistic and passionate young people than middle-aged practitioners who only care about salary and resources.
And Luochuan is also a person who cares more about spiritual satisfaction than material enjoyment.
But it’s different from Chu Fengge.
What Luochuan needs is not a rainbow fart, but the unique trust from the emperor.
For example, at present, when everyone else thinks that Gu Xu is the reincarnation of Emperor Ziwei, Luo Chuan is the only person in the wilderness who knows the complete plan of Emperor Ziwei to use the soul of another world to seize the body for rebirth.
When Gu Xu revealed some unknown and insignificant "little secrets" to him from time to time, such as "copied a poem from another world", "the boy from another world resisted very much when he took away the body" "Intense", "That boy from another world tried to summon the Jinghong Pen Art Spirit to harm me but I saw through it," "That boy from another world didn't even touch a woman in his previous life" etc.
On the one hand, it allows Gu Xu to play the role of "Emperor Ziwei who succeeded in seizing the body" more realistically.
On the other hand, it can also give Luo Chuan a feeling of being trusted and trusted without reservation, thus making Luo Chuan believe that he has been the first favorite of Emperor Zi Wei for these long thousands of years. Chen, no one can take his place beside Emperor Ziwei.
Sure enough, as soon as Gu Xu finished speaking, Luo Chuan's expression became visibly happy, as if he had been scratched. The corners of his mouth could not help but raise slightly, and he praised the emperor's recent achievements even more vigorously. Wenzhi and martial arts.
Just when Luo Chuan was talking about "the emperor will rule the wilderness soon", a paper attendant hurriedly walked into the room, holding more than ten official documents, and respectfully handed them to Gu Xu.
"Your Majesty, Ren Guanxiong, Yu Kunwei and others have presented me with a memorial, and I implore you to open it personally." I heard the paper man say in a cadenced, extremely lifelike voice.
Gu Xu took the watch and looked down.
The two characters "Encourage Advancement" instantly caught his eye.
