Chapter 163 Read the imperial decree and rule the royal city

"People in the palace? Eunuch Li?"

Hearing this, Chu Zhan was taken aback for a moment. He didn't know this Eunuch Li, and he was also a little confused about why Eunuch Li came to Chu's residence.

On the other hand, Tang Chen and Chu Zheng changed their expressions when they heard Eunuch Li.

As far as they know, the personal eunuch next to King Tang is now surnamed Li!

"Housekeeper of the Chu House, is it true that Eunuch Li has gray hair, but is tall and straight, and his face is still rosy?"

Tang Chen asked.

"The sixth prince is right, that's what Eunuch Li looks like!"

The butler nodded.

"Sixth Prince, do you know this Eunuch Li?"

Chu Zhan looked at Tang Chen suspiciously.

"Lord Chu, there are many father-in-laws surnamed Li in the palace. It is impossible for me to know all of them, but it just so happens that I know the one outside the mansion. He is the personal eunuch of the father, and his strength has reached the late Yuanying stage!"

Tang Chen explained.

"what?"

"This Eunuch Li is actually the king's personal eunuch? Or the strength of the late Yuan Ying!"

Chu Zhan was shocked. He never thought that Tang Wang's personal eunuch would come to such a small place as Qingcheng, let alone that this Eunuch Li had the strength of the late Yuanying period!
"Lord Chu, Eunuch Li must have something important to announce when he comes to your mansion, so we should go out to meet him immediately!"

Seeing that Chu Zhan was in a daze, Chu Zheng quickly reminded him.

"Yes, yes, hurry up and meet Eunuch Li!"

Chu Zhan straightened his robes and walked quickly outside the mansion, followed by Tang Chen, Chu Zheng, and Tang Yu.

As for Chu Feng, he followed unhurriedly at the end.

After a while, everyone saw Eunuch Li outside the mansion.

"Eunuch Li."

After Tang Chen and Chu Zheng saw Eunuch Li, they immediately greeted him.

"Sixth Prince, Sheriff."

Eunuch Li nodded and returned a salute.

"Eunuch Li, I don't know why you came to the Chu Mansion?"

Tang Chen was the first to speak curiously.

"This old slave is here to read the imperial decree of the king!"

Eunuch Li flipped his hands over and took out the imperial edict from his arms.

"What? Read the imperial decree?"

Tang Chen had a look of surprise on his face. Generally speaking, imperial edicts were read out by officials of the Ministry of Officials, and it was almost never read out by Eunuch Li, unless there was something important to be announced.

"Eunuch Li, who is this edict for?"

Chu Zheng asked curiously.

"City Lord of Qingcheng, Chu Zhan!"

"What? It's an imperial decree for Master Chu!"

Tang Chen and Chu Zheng immediately turned their attention to Chu Zhan, and Chu Zhan immediately became the focus of the audience.

"An imperial decree for me?"

Chu Zhan looked confused.

I am just a tiny piece of land in Dongjun, the lord of Qingcheng, how could I get the imperial edict?

When Chu Zhan was in doubt, Eunuch Li opened the imperial edict, looked at Chu Zhan, smiled slightly, and said, "Master Chu, I am going to read the imperial edict."

"The next official accepts the order!"

Chu Zhan quickly knelt down, while Tang Chen, Chu Zheng, Tang Yu, and the guards at the gate of the Chu Mansion all knelt down.

Only Chu Feng leaned against the door with a calm face.

When the imperial decree was read out in the Tang Dynasty, no matter the prince, prince, official or common people, they all had to kneel down, but Chu Feng was an honorary elder of the Shushan Sword Sect, so naturally he was not bound by this.

And when Eunuch Li saw that Chu Feng didn't kneel down, he didn't say anything.

After a short breath, Eunuch Li coughed lightly, and then read out the imperial decree, "Following the heavens, the king of the Tang Dynasty said, from now on, promote the city lord of Qingcheng, and Chu Zhan will be the leader of the Tang Dynasty city! I hereby!"

The imperial decree drawn up by King Tang is very simple and goes straight to the point, unlike the one written by the Imperial Academy which has a lot of nonsense before getting into the point.

"what?"

"The king wants to promote me to be the commander of the royal city!"

After hearing the content of the imperial decree, Chu Zhan was taken aback for a moment, and then showed surprise.

He is just a small town lord in a small place like Qingcheng, Tang Wang probably has never even heard of his own name, so how could he promote himself as the commander of Wangcheng.

The king city is in charge of the entire king city, and its status is so high that even the high officials in the court have to be courteous!

Generally speaking, the commander of the royal city is an important position that all parties compete for, how could it fall on his own head?

But Chu Zhan is also considered a human being, and he quickly realized that this was the king of Tang trying to win him over. No, to be more precise, he was trying to win over Chu Feng, or to show his favor to Chu Feng!

On the other hand, Tang Chen and Chu Zheng were stunned when they heard the content of the imperial decree, but they immediately understood that Tang Wang was a drunkard who didn't want to drink. He seemed to be promoting Chu Zhan, but he was actually asking Chu Feng and Shu Shan The Sword Sect showed their favor, after all, the current Shushan Sword Sect, because of the appearance of the Jiu Sword Immortal, its status has already been raised several levels!
"Master Chu, don't be dazed, and accept the order quickly."

Eunuch Li came in front of Chu Zhan, and he, who was always serious, showed a rare smile.

"Ah? Yes!"

"City Lord Qingcheng, Chu Zhan accepts the order, thank you King Shanglong!"

Chu Zhan accepted the imperial edict respectfully, and then slowly got up.

"Eunuch Li, the journey is tiring, and the journey has been hard."

Chu Zhan smiled, and then took out a few bottles of pills from his arms without any trace, and prepared to give them to Eunuch Li, but Eunuch Li refused.

"Master Chu, please be polite, this old slave is just doing what he should do."

Eunuch Li laughed.

"Father-in-law is honest, but I was careless, please sit inside and have a sip of tea." Chu Zhan invited.

"Then I'll be bothered."

Although Eunuch Li was not thirsty, since Chu Zhan had kindly invited him, he was not respectful.

"Eunuch, please come inside."

"it is good!"

When Eunuch Li passed by Chu Feng, he stopped slightly and said with a smile, "Lord Chu, this must be your son, Chu Feng, the honorary elder of Shushan Sword Sect."

"good."

"I met Elder Chu."

Eunuch Li cupped his fists and slightly saluted Chu Feng.

"Eunuch Li is polite."

Chu Feng also returned a salute.

He didn't understand, why would someone be a eunuch in this world?
Wouldn't it be good to keep the "second brother" and enjoy some "happy fish and water"?Is it that women are not fragrant?
Of course, doubts are doubts, Chu Feng will not ask.

……

lobby.

Eunuch Li took a sip of tea, then looked at Chu Zhan, and asked, "Master Chu, when will you be able to take up the post in Wangcheng?"

"Well, after the subordinate officials hand over the affairs of Qingcheng to the next Qingcheng city lord, they can go to Wangcheng to take up the post."

"Eunuch Li, I would like to ask, who is the next Qingcheng City Lord?"

Chu Zhan asked.

"Qingcheng is the county seat of the Eastern Commandery, and the candidate for the next Qingcheng city lord will naturally be determined by Mr. Chu."

Eunuch Li looked at Chu Zheng.

The next moment, Chu Zheng cast his eyes on Chu Zhan again, and said with a smile: "Master Chu, apart from you, I am not familiar with the officials of Qingcheng. Bar!"

"This is wrong."

Chu Zhan hesitated.

"Lord Chu, there is nothing wrong with this. You have lived in Qingcheng for a long time, so you naturally know the character of officials in Qingcheng better than Chu Zheng!"

"The Lord of Qingcheng that you personally selected is definitely better than the one that Chu Zheng blindly selected!"

Tang Chen on the side also added.

"Okay then, tonight I will review the resumes of Qingcheng officials, and then combine my understanding of them to decide who is suitable to be Qingcheng City Lord."

Now that Tang Chen has spoken, Chu Zhan no longer refuses.

"Elder Chu, Your Majesty would like to invite you to the palace for a sit-down. When will Elder Chu be free?"

Eunuch Li looked at Chu Feng and asked again with a smile.

Before coming, besides asking Eunuch Li to read the imperial decree, Tang Ding also asked Eunuch Li to ask when Chu Feng would be free to go to the Datang Palace.
