Daxianguan

Chapter 428
Ji Wen was also resting in this big mansion, and Li Fuzi came to see it. With this immortal doctor taking action, it can be said that Ji Wen is already fine.

But according to Ji Wen, she is still weak, so she needs to rest here for a while.

Chu Xian always felt that Ji Wen did it on purpose.

Regarding Lu Jiang's attack, Chu Xian wrote a detailed report, and Xuanyuegu was there, so no one came to inquire about the situation in detail. They thought that Lu Jiang's attack would not succeed, and were forced to retreat by Xuanyuegu. Now whereabouts unknown.

But only Chu Xian knew that Lu Jiang was finished.

There was a strand of hair on the black-haired wristband, which changed color. It was no longer pure black, but had a blood color.

And this strand of hair, Chu Xian knew, was the body of He Suixin's ghost slave, and he presumably killed and devoured Lu Jiang for this change.

At first it was just speculation, but last night Chu Xian had a dream, in which He Suixin beheaded Lu Jiang.

Although it was a dream, Chu Xian knew that the black-haired wristband made him do it, and the things in the dream should have happened in real life.

In other words, Lu Jiang was beheaded and devoured by He Suixin just like the scene he saw in his dream.

Speaking of it, the changes in the black-haired wristband during this period made Chu Xian a little uneasy, and he didn't know if Mo Lin's divine sense was doing things for him, but Chu Xian called it many times, but nothing get no response.

Not to mention that the black-haired wristband itself is extremely powerful, but the ghost slave who was refined by He Suixin with a strand of hair actually has such ghostly speed and lethality. He Suixin will definitely not be her opponent.

Although this is considered a good thing, Chu Xian also knows that He Suixin, a ghost slave, cannot be exposed.

Because it was exposed, he couldn't explain it.

He Suixin was the 'murderer' who assassinated the Thirteen Witch Ancestors, she was devoured by the Soul Eater, she should not exist in the world, but if someone finds out that she has become his own ghost slave, how can this be explained? no.

So while the black-haired wristband helped Chu Xian, it also caused Chu Xian a lot of trouble.

Of course, this is not troublesome for Chu Xian, as long as she is not used.But in the same way, the credit for beheading Lu Jiang will not be gained. Fortunately, Chu Xian did not count on this. Good things can also turn into bad things.

Keep a low profile, this is the only rule of life in officialdom.

Compared with these, Chu Xian has one more important thing to do, that is, in this life, he will attend the court meeting for the first time.

In the land of Jingzhou, officials of the fifth rank or above are eligible to participate in the court meeting. Although Chu Xian is still working as a promotion official in the Criminal Prosecution Division, his official rank is enough, so he can participate, and he must participate. After all, there is a month There is a limit of at least ten pilgrimages, and it is impossible not to go.

In the early morning of the next day, when it was still dark, Chu Xian was already in his official uniform and rushed to the meeting place, of course he went with Kong Qian.

Although Kong Qian has been an official for a long time, but this time is also the first time a big girl gets on the sedan chair, she seems a little nervous.

"Chu Xian, thanks to you this time, I didn't expect that the higher-ups would reform the official system. On the side of the Criminal Division, the upper limit of official rank has been raised from the previous sixth rank to the fifth rank. This is a good thing. In the future, there will be more people who will come to the criminal justice department, and those young people will have hope."

Kong Qian obviously regarded Chu Xian as someone of his level, completely ignoring the fact that Chu Xian was also a young man.

Chu Xian laughed, nodded and said: "Master Kong, don't praise me, I was also used as a gun by Mr. Zhongshu. It is estimated that Mr. Zhongshu has long planned to reform the official system, but he couldn't find it right away. Entrance, this time, we just took advantage of our mention of criminal justice to handle this matter."

Kong Qian also nodded again and again: "So, it is not easy to be able to sit in a high position. In my opinion, it is easier to solve the case. Black is black and white is white. It is easy to distinguish between good and evil. How is it like this officialdom?" , is much more complicated."

Chu Xian also deeply agrees with these words.

Because it was the first time for the two to attend the court meeting, they came very early.

The pilgrimages of the Tiantang Holy Dynasty are held in the Dengtian Temple of the Datang Palace in Jingzhou.

There are three halls in the Datang Palace. The Ascending Heaven Hall is the first hall, the largest and most magnificent one. From the bottom to the top, there is a [-]-foot gap. The bottom is where ordinary officials stay. , the top one is the cloud seat.

The cloud seat, that is, the cloud supported by spells, is high above the sky, like a huge cloud pillar, with an auspicious animal shape on it. Of course, only immortal officials at the Shoufu Pavilion level can sit on the cloud seat, and the cloud seat is also There are three, six, and nine grades, and the thickest and tallest one is naturally the highest-ranking Shoufu Pavilion immortal official.

Generally speaking, the Hall of Ascending Heaven is extremely grand and magnificent, so all court meetings are held here.

The guards at the outer gate were all high-level immortal guards. After Chu Xian and Kong Qian were checked for official talismans, they were put in. When they entered the Ascending Heaven Hall, they immediately felt different.

Empty, this is the second, above the head, is the blue sky and auspicious clouds, the auspicious birds are flying together, like a paradise.

Chu Xian didn't feel much surprise, because he had been here before, but Kong Qian was different, it was the first time for Kong Qian to come, so the old pusher was full of surprises and his mind was fluttering.

As time passed, the officials who participated in the court meeting also arrived one after another to greet each other.

Of course, on Chu Xian and Kong Qian's side, many officials also came to say hello, especially to Chu Xian, a 'newcomer' in the officialdom, who expressed their goodwill.

Everyone knows that Chu Xian can be said to be the youngest official to step into the court in the past few hundred years. No one can say for sure where he will go in the future.

Of course, secretly, there are also voices singing Chu Xian's bad faith.

the reason is simple.

That's because Chu Xian was the promotion officer of the Criminal Division. Looking at the past, it was well known that his career as a promotion officer in the Criminal Division had come to an end.

It means that as soon as you become a promotion officer of the Criminal Division, your official career will come to an end, because there is almost no possibility of being promoted, this is almost a vicious circle, for thousands of years, no one has been able to break this weird fate .

Therefore, many officials are absolutely unwilling to be promoted to the criminal department, unless there is no way to see those official children, even if they go to the government office to be an ordinary clerk, they are not willing to be promoted to the criminal department to become a higher official .

The officials are almost here. After all, not every court meeting will gather all the officials of the fifth rank and above in Jingzhou. Even so, there are almost a hundred people gathered at this moment.

On the high cloud seat over there, several figures appeared.

The immortal official of the Shoufu Pavilion has arrived.

The immortal officials in the Shoufu Pavilion are all at least the third rank, and not all the third ranks can enter, so it is possible to be a high-ranking official.

Moreover, the Shoufu Pavilion is full of immortal officials from the Dao Immortal Realm.

At present, in the Shoufu Pavilion of the Holy Dynasty, there are six ministers, Zhongshuling, Shangshuling, Taiwei, Sikong, Situ, General, General Yu, Zuocheng Shizhong, Zuotaishi, a few important servants, etc. , there are almost 20 people.

These more than 20 are obviously the immortal officials who hold the greatest power in the Holy Dynasty.

Of course, even in the Shoufu Pavilion, there are levels. The higher level is called "Xianzun", which is the fairy official who masters the five great immortal weapons of the Tang Dynasty.

The five celestial artifacts are 'Qiankun Mirror', 'Taozu Bell', 'Zhu Shenjian', 'Seven Treasures Tiandong Gourd', and 'Feng Tianyin', which are currently held by Taishi Lu Yan, Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong respectively in the Shoufu Pavilion. And the five masters of the general.

Basically, this is the current top-to-bottom official structure of the Tiantang Holy Dynasty.

Just like other officials, the immortal officials in the Shoufu Pavilion will not come to the court meeting every time, but every time, at least three or more immortal officials from the Shoufu Pavilion must preside over the court meeting.

This time, ten cloud seats were lit up, that is to say, there were ten Shoufu Pavilion immortal officials who came this time.

Chu Xian glanced at it, at least Zhongshuling Xiao Yu was here.

Chu Xian and Kong Qian stood at the back. After all, they were only the fifth rank, and it was their first time to attend the court meeting. Basically, they just listened and watched, and they would not be given a chance to speak.

The discussions at the court meeting are all important matters of the holy dynasty. If you interfere with things you don't understand, it will only be ridiculous.

It's just that this court meeting was just halfway through, and there was noise outside, and then Xianwei rushed in to report.

Obviously something went wrong.

"My lords, the honored prince leads more than a dozen descendants of the royal family outside, and they will come in no matter what they say, and the subordinates dare not obstruct too much..." Even Xianwei was embarrassed at this moment.

At the court meeting, the other officials frowned when they heard this, but they didn't say anything. After all, this kind of matter had to be decided by the Shoufu Pavilion.

On the cloud seat of the Shoufu Pavilion, Yang Zhenqing, the grand master, pretended not to hear it. There was nothing he could do. Xiao Yu, the Zhongshuling, could only talk.

"The holy ancestors have taught that the heirs of the royal family should not set foot in the court meeting, stop them, and don't let them in." Xiao Yu said.

But at the next moment, a group of people walked in outside, and one of them said: "It's late, we have already come in. Although the ancestor said that the descendants of our royal family should not set foot in the court meeting, after all, even the ancestors can't know the 5000 The situation in the next year, the 5000-year holy pilgrimage, many rules were changed because they were out of date, and the rule that the royal family is not allowed to discuss politics, I think it should also be changed."

The person who spoke was dressed in gorgeous royal robes and was tall and tall. He was also a Daoist with extraordinary cultivation.

This is also normal, otherwise, if you are an ordinary person, even if you try to break in, you will not be able to break in.

On the cloud seat, Xiao Yu saw that Yang Zhenqing was silent, and the other immortal officials of the Shoufu Pavilion didn't know how to deal with it, so he could only speak.

Then I saw Yang Zhenqing get up, floated down under the cloud seat, and said: "The words of the respected prince are against the order of the ancestors, please don't embarrass me."

"Embarrassing?" Prince Zun over there shook his head: "A few days ago, there were thieves who committed crimes in the Immortal Palace, many guards died, and one of my nephews also died because of it. Your Shoufu Pavilion can't give us an explanation for this matter. How about Who is embarrassing whom? Over the years, the Shoufu Pavilion has kept the royal family out of the court meeting, causing us to know nothing about the important events of the court. If we know, we can take precautions in advance, and my nephew will not be killed. Death, so our royal family discussed and unanimously decided to ask to participate in the court affairs from today. Xiao Zhongshu, I will not embarrass you in this matter. Today, on behalf of the royal family, I formally make a request to your Shoufu Pavilion. You are behind closed doors. It doesn’t matter whether you discuss it or vote at the court meeting, in short, I will wait here today, waiting for your reply.”
