strayed into fairy mountain

Chapter 4 [Little Emperor]

At this moment, eight thousand miles away.

There are hundreds of feet tall buildings standing tall in the giant city.

This city is the imperial capital of the dynasty, and the high-rise building is called the General Mansion of the Divine Family.On the very top of the building, there was a warrior standing with his hands behind his back. His armor was shining with golden light, and in his hand was an ancient bronze spear.

It seems to be looking at the sky, and it seems to be overlooking the world.

Suddenly, the golden armored warrior stared at a certain direction, as if he wanted to penetrate eight thousand miles of mountains and rivers, and see the changes in a certain place.

After a moment of hesitation, the golden-armored warrior murmured, slightly surprised: "Tonight is quite interesting. In the first half of the night, there is a village where the fog has dissipated. Eight thousand miles away, a small village..."

There was a group of nobles standing not far away, and when they heard the words, someone immediately made fun of them, flattering and agreeing: "Since the fog in the village has dissipated, it must be that the village has eliminated the danger of the night. Based on years of experience, it can be concluded that the night watchmen in this village should have enough Basic merit."

Another nobleman followed suit, saying flatteringly, "That's right, the night watchmen must have accumulated enough merit, otherwise those people with five disadvantages and three deficiencies would never be able to dispel the night fog. From this point of view, there are The people of the people walk on the road of God-sent."

The nobleman said again with a sincere admiration: "Although the position of the night watchman is very low, it is the only ladder for the people in Qianshou. They watch the night at night, and the gods bestow merits. Once they have accumulated enough basic merits , you have the threshold to set foot on the gods... the gods are so kind, even the mud and the heads of Guizhou are given the opportunity."

The two gods and nobles continued to speak, and their words were full of compliments to the gods, but they spoke in a superior tone to the common people.

Mud Guishou is its name.

Only the warrior in golden armor frowned slightly, as if he was a little displeased, he opened his mouth and scolded: "Even though he was born in the common people, he has already accumulated enough merits and virtues. From then on, he is on the same road as us to set foot on the road favored by the gods." Chinese..."

As he said that, he glanced at him coldly, and said coldly: "You are ridiculed and contemptuous, and your words are superior. Could it be that you have forgotten that your ancestors were born, and you are also a bunch of muddy legs."

The two nobles were reprimanded, and their faces were filled with fear, and they repeatedly confessed: "Great priest, please forgive me, I will never dare again."

But he didn't take it seriously in his heart, feeling that the great priest was making a fuss over a molehill, and the left and right were just awakened night watchmen, so he deserved to be treated so seriously?
You must know that the imperial dynasty has an area of ​​[-] miles, and has hundreds of thousands of villages, large and small. Almost every night, there are night watchmen who accumulate enough merit and awaken their basic strength to step into the gods. Once they step on the road of gods, they are eligible to recruit into the gods. .

But it's just recruiting into the Shenfu, and you need to climb up slowly from the lowest level. Even if you work hard and hard, you may not be promoted a few times in your life.

But they are different. Their ancestors have accumulated for several generations or even dozens of generations, and now they have already ascended to the high position of the Divine Family General Mansion, and they are born to be superior.

The great priest asked them to regard the muddy legs as the same way?
How ridiculous.

The group of nobles secretly sneered in their hearts, but their faces showed submissiveness, they kept nodding and said: "The great priest taught you the right thing, we must bow down and reflect on ourselves."

The Jinjia warrior was quite satisfied, nodded in approval and said: "If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is nothing good about it. You are all rising stars of various wealthy families. I hope you can go higher in the future."

Suddenly his tone changed, and he ordered in a deep voice: "This old man watches the mist of the land at night. The imperial dynasty governs ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers. There are 27 villages in total tonight, each of which has eliminated the danger of the village. From this, it can be inferred that there are 27 night watchmen who have accumulated enough merit. ..."

He paused for a while, and continued: "According to the old rules, send a message to the gods' mansions everywhere, and recruit all the 27 night watchmen to the gods' mansions."

After another pause, he deliberately told him: "People from the common people come from a humble background, but they rely on their own strength to accumulate merits through hard work. The more such people are, the more talented they are, so you must treat them generously. We are all on the same road.”

The nobles present nodded repeatedly, but their expressions were somewhat disapproving.

One of the glamorous girls even asked with a smile: "Since the high priest ordered to follow the old rules, then these night watchmen can only be pawns at first?"

He smiled again as he spoke, and said intentionally, "Even if we want to treat them favorably, the rules of the Mansion of God's Family cannot be broken, right? A group of mud-legged people are already being treated favorably by entering the Mansion of God's Family."

The great priest heard the contempt in the girl's tone, but for some reason he didn't criticize him harshly. Instead, he sighed slightly and taught earnestly: "Girl, you have to remember that not only the God's House is in power in the dynasty, if you don't pay attention to talents, It will be snatched by the imperial court."

The girl curled her lips with disdain: "The imperial court? The imperial court must also serve the gods! Even if it is the emperor of the imperial court, he has to salute the great priest."

The great priest frowned, and finally reprimanded slightly: "Since ancient times, the gods have decreed that the emperor is the emperor of a country, and he and the great priest are in charge of the dynasty together, and they are equal in status. Why do you say that?"

The girl was scolded, her face showed a delicate and savage face, she just wanted to talk back, but she was already glared coldly by the high priest, the girl could only suppress her dissatisfaction, and stomped her feet angrily.

The great priest sighed, waved his hands helplessly and said: "You all go down, remember that you are the rising stars of each family, you must work hard and accumulate merits. The more merits you accumulate, the higher you can be promoted."

A group of Shenfu nobles kept their promises and retreated from the top of the tall buildings.

……

After getting off the tall building, the girl suddenly snorted angrily, and said in a savage tone: "The 27 night watchmen tonight must not be treated too well. I am so mad that the great priest even reprimanded me."

A certain young nobleman hurriedly stepped forward, chuckled and offered his advice: "There are regulations in the Divine Mansion's policies, and the first-time recruits lack merit, so they can be incorporated into the night patrol team first according to the local conditions..."

The girl's eyes lit up immediately, and she said in surprise, "Night patrol team? Very good!"

The young nobleman continued to chuckle and said: "The night watch team is responsible for patrolling the wilderness, and they have to face the ghosts and monsters in the thick fog. If it is an elite team, they can barely survive... But, a group of night watchmen who have just been recruited."

"Hee hee! They will die!"

The girl smiled like a flower.

……

At the same time, it is still the imperial capital.

It was not yet dawn, but the industrious little emperor had already woken up.

An old servant hurriedly delivered a brochure, and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, from the Divine Mansion, the Great Priest looked at the 27-mile territory under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Dynasty last night, and there were [-] villages in total to clear the fog."

The little emperor was very pleasantly surprised, his voice was a little trembling: "Really? There are 27 places? Does this mean that there are 27 more people in my dynasty who can practice?"

"Hahaha, very good!"

The little emperor looked excited, and kept talking to himself: "The more people practice, the better life the people will have. With the protection of practitioners, the fog at night will no longer be dangerous, and those poor people can sleep peacefully after a busy day..."

"Quickly, quickly, let the Ministry of Officials quickly issue a document that all the 27 people were recruited into the yamen in various places last night."

However, the old servant sighed, and said in a low voice again: "But the great priest has ordered that these 27 people be recruited into the God's House."

The little emperor was slightly taken aback, and his face was a little depressed: "Yes, the great priest will definitely give the order. Since ancient times, the rules have been like this. For the night watchmen who are awakened by the people, the Divine Household has the right to give priority to recruiting."

He sighed and murmured: "But I am very eager, I am very eager for these pillars. If they become officials of the court, they can protect the safety of various places. But if they enter the mansion of the gods, they will gradually be affected. Due to the influence of the Divine Palace, from now on I will only focus on chasing the bestowed by the gods, and very few people will sincerely protect the people."

Hearing the emperor's gloomy tone and looking at the little emperor's longing face, the old servant couldn't help feeling sorry for him, and couldn't help but speak in a low voice.

There was obviously some kind of hint in the servant's words, although he went to the point, but he said clearly: "The old slave has some eyeliner in the God's Mansion, and he sent me a little gossip. The young nobles were dissatisfied, so they prepared to make things difficult..."

Although the emperor was young, he was very shrewd. His eyes lit up immediately, and he asked pleasantly, "They are going to make things difficult? Don't I have a chance?"

The old servant had a deep expression on his face, and said with a low smile, "Although rules are rules, favors are favors. If the night watchman himself doesn't want to enter the God's House, but wants to work in the local yamen..."

The little emperor laughed loudly, and said with renewed enthusiasm: "If this happens, our imperial court will not be breaking the rules. This emperor is not competing for talents, but giving the night watchmen a job they want to do. "

Rubbing his hands excitedly as he spoke, he hurriedly asked the servant, "Hurry up and tell me, how are those young masters and ladies in the Shenjuan Manor going to make things difficult for the night watchman?"

The old servant continued to laugh lowly: "It is said that after preparing to recruit into the mansion, all of them will be incorporated into the most dangerous night patrol team. As for the positions, they are all small soldiers."

"Hahaha, good!"

The little emperor clapped his hands heavily, and said pleasantly: "The night watchman must be dissatisfied with such harsh criticism of talents. My chance has come, and I will make them all county magistrates."

The old servant was taken aback, and quickly dissuaded him: "Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry, you must not be too hasty. Although you want to treat talents favorably, there are already county magistrates in various places. If these 27 people are all named county magistrates, wouldn't the original county magistrate Heartbroken."

But the little emperor said: "But I must make them feel respected, so that I can snatch them into the court... Oh no, I don't want to snatch people from the Shenjuan Mansion."

The old servant said: "Even if you want to be courteous, you can't do it for nothing. The old slave has a suggestion. In fact, all the yamen are looking forward to this kind of talent. So why don't your majesty grant special powers and let the county magistrates in various places provide their own treatment?" To recruit people..."

He stopped talking, and then continued: "In this way, county magistrates in various places can act according to the situation of local government offices. For example, some places can take out the post of county lieutenant, and some places can give the treatment of the chief arrester of the county government..."

The little emperor was thoughtful, and said: "If the position is not attractive enough, the county magistrates can make up for it in other ways, such as giving money, or giving a house.

"And here I sit quietly and don't make a move, so as not to mess up the official positions in various places. After all, the official vacancies are different in each locality."

The old servant's face was pleased: "Your Majesty is intelligent, calm and moderate, so quietly watching, showing the emperor's appearance."

The little emperor laughed, obviously happy about the recruiting.

Suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked: "The 27 night watchmen last night, each of them is a future pillar. If they all enter the court, they will become the mainstay. But I am still a little greedy. Is there any outstanding generation among them?"

The old waiter smiled and nodded: "Your Majesty's wish, maybe it is true. It is said that the villages of mist were dispelled last night, and there was one village in the first half of the night."

The little emperor's eyes lit up, and he was pleasantly surprised: "It turned out to be the first half of the night? It's hard to accumulate merit in the first half of the night. In this way, isn't this person extremely outstanding?"

The old servant nodded again: "Since ancient times, the night has been fierce. The first half of the night is safer, and the second half of the night is very difficult. Therefore, it is difficult for the night watchmen to accumulate merit in the first half of the night, and the second half of the night is when they can gain merit."

The little emperor nodded: "So those who can accumulate enough merit in the first half of the night must be those with great luck or great talent."

As he spoke, he asked anxiously again: "Where was this person last night?"

The old waiter replied: "Eight thousand miles away, in the south of Dongmeng Mountain, there is a county town named Yicheng, and twenty miles away from the city, there is a village called Zhangjia Village."

The little emperor looked into the distance subconsciously, and murmured: "The name of the village is Zhangjiacun? Then this person should be surnamed Zhang."

The old waiter nodded with a smile: "Most of the people gather in the village, so this person must be surnamed Zhang."

The little emperor rubbed his hands excitedly: "This is the pillar of my dynasty. He can dispel the fog in the first half of the night. I hope he will enter the local government."

"Your Majesty treats people generously, as Your Majesty wishes." The old servant's words hinted, his eyes were as deep as an abyss, and he said: "The county magistrate of Yicheng is a big-hearted official."

The little emperor settled down and said with anticipation: "Very good, very good. I'm waiting and hoping that he can recruit people to the county government."
