Chapter 166 The Book of Immortals
Gu Chengli's magistrate outside the prefecture.

The big shot who came all the way from the capital walked into the magistrate's office.

The leader was a white-faced and beardless eunuch. He wore a tall hat and walked into Zhizhou Mansion surrounded by a group of guards.

Liu Yuan is one of the head hunters who are responsible for protecting the outskirts of Zhizhou Mansion. Although he is only a copper catcher, because he has a relationship with Zheng Hong and is already considered a border king, he was arranged by Zheng Hong to come here to perform the task of protecting this place.

And Liu Yuan stood in a good position, just in time to observe the group of people from the imperial court.

Even Liu Yuan could still see the golden imperial edict carried in the eunuch's arms.

"It seems that the stupid king doesn't want to make things big."

Zheng Hong came over suddenly and said to Liu Yuan.

"Master Zheng..."

Liu Yuan frowned.

In broad daylight, even though there were no people around, it seemed inappropriate for Zheng Hong to directly say that the current Emperor Qi'an was a faint king.

In the event that there are some master-level masters with super five senses, Zheng Hong's words alone are enough to bring him death.

Seeing Liu Yuan's surprise, Zheng Hong smiled and said:

"Don't worry, now Ningzhou no longer has that foolish person, it doesn't matter what we say."

"... Your Majesty gave up Ningzhou?"

"He also has to give up. Zhao Chun is dead, and the other side of him is probably more dangerous. If he doesn't want to push the Gu family and His Highness King Bian to a dead end, he must expose this matter. .

"And judging from this father-in-law's attitude, Emperor Qi'an chose to calm down."

From the point of view of Emperor Qi'an, the incident in Ningzhou this time was actually the Gu family and unknown forces united against him, sabotaged his plan, and blatantly defied the emperor's order.

According to the law, such crimes range from ransacking the family and exterminating the family, to implicating the entire family in severe cases.

If Emperor Qi'an really wanted to ransack the Gu family's house, then it would not be the eunuch from the capital who came here at this moment, but the army from the capital.

Now that the eunuch came here alone with the imperial decree, it meant that Emperor Qi'an had no intention of doing so.

He might even raise Gu Chengli's official position in order to stabilize the Gu family.

Liu Yuan nodded silently.

He didn't quite understand these things, anyway, he just needed to know that this time the battle was considered to be a small victory on the Gu family's side, and he had already taken refuge in His Royal Highness Bian Wang, so he didn't have to worry about being punished by Emperor Qi'an and ransacking his family.

It's just that when he thought that he was only a small copper fisherman and participated in such a big matter, Liu Yuan felt that his future was bleak, and he couldn't help sighing for a while.

Seeing Liu Yuan sigh, Zheng Hong asked:

"What's wrong? What are you sighing for?"

"...Oh, I just didn't expect that Your Majesty...would do such a thing."

Liu Yuan said in a low voice.

The disaster was released in Ningzhou, which caused heavy rain in Ningzhou, causing tens of thousands of people to be displaced and their homes no longer.

There are even some places that have completely disappeared due to disasters. The local buildings and surviving people have all disappeared and been forgotten by the world. If Liu Yuan hadn’t been awakened by Zheng Hong with the refreshing incense afterward, he might not be able to remember the existence of these people. .

That part of Dan'an City that disappeared, and the small half of the people in Dan'an City...

Let so many people lose their lives, and make the whole Ningzhou what it is now, just to become a fairy...

Such a stupid king... I am afraid that he has already lost the hearts of the people.

Hearing what Liu Yuan said, Zheng Hong also sighed and then said:
"Actually, this foolish ruler was still a wise ruler at the beginning."

Liu Yuan was startled, as if he didn't expect Zheng Hong to say that, so he raised his head involuntarily.

Zheng Hong smiled and said:
"Don't worry, I'm not saying good things to him, I'm just stating a fact, which His Royal Highness Bian Wang said.

"He said, when this faint king first came to the throne, he really tried his best to govern, trying to make our Great Qi Dynasty prosperous and prosperous. If this continues, even if he can't become a famous king through the ages, at least he can leave the title of Ming Jun in the history books.

"But it wasn't until that year that someone presented him with a 'Book of Immortals'."

"Fairy book?"

"Yes, Lord Hun enshrined it as a fairy book, saying that it contained the method of immortality and immortality, and then... he began to ask for immortality, and it has been up to now."

The source of the fairy book can no longer be investigated. The Taoist priest who presented the fairy book was also beheaded by Emperor Qi'an a few years ago because he offended Emperor Qi'an. It can be seen that the Taoist priest did not have any "immortal skills".

But Emperor Qi'an regarded this immortal book as a treasure, and indulged in the way of immortality. Except for occasional visits to the court to balance the power of the court, the rest of the time he lived in the deep palace, saying that he wanted to practice to become an immortal.

Originally, some old ministers and capable ministers would persuade him, but after a long time, the old ministers of the former emperor's generation passed away one after another, and the newly promoted ministers were mostly sycophants headed by Liu Ruqing. .

The one who can compete with Liu Ruqing in the court is Gu Jixiu, who superficially agrees with Emperor Qi'an's cultivation of immortality, but actually plans with King Bian to push him to Emperor Qi'an, who is the current prime minister.

People with knowledge and ambitions all joined Gu Dang, but even so, Gu Dang was often overwhelmed by Liu Dang in court.

And to be honest, if Emperor Qi'an hadn't wanted to keep Gu Dang to check and balance Liu Dang, Gu Jixiu might not have survived at all.

If the emperor wants to become a fairy, the courtiers of the Liu Party will follow suit. Including Liu Ruqing, some high-ranking court officials will have a special place in their homes for cultivating Taoism.

Moreover, there were many audiences in Jingcheng Road, and many small Taoist temples became Daoist temples under the influence of the imperial court. For a while, everyone in the capital worshiped Taoism, and those who didn't know thought that Qi State got rich with Taoist priests.

Liu Yuan frowned even more when he heard these, and he asked:

"Then Emperor Qi'an trusts the fairy book so much?"

"Yes, of course he does. I'm afraid you don't know that there was a severe drought in the capital five years ago, and there was no rain for three months. The Taoist monks in the capital were praying for rain and worshiping gods, but in the end, not a single drop of rain fell. Do you know what made it rain afterwards?"

Zheng Hong made a fool of himself here.

Liu Yuan also asked cooperatively, "How did you do it?"

Zheng Hong's expression was a little serious, and he seemed to be recalling and said:

"Just as the Taoist priests and monks were at a loss, the Hunjun stood up from his seat holding the fairy book, using the fairy book as a guide, and just waved his hand...

"In time, the sky was covered with dark clouds and thunder was roaring, but in the blink of an eye, the heavy rain poured down, and it filled the vacancy of the capital's water level impartially, and then disappeared without a trace."

"This……"

Liu Yuan's pupils contracted, a little unbelievable.

He thought that the fairy book was a fake, that the Holy One was deceived by the fairy book, but from Zheng Hong's words, this fairy book...could it be the real thing? !
Zheng Hong sighed and said, "It's unbelievable, right? When His Royal Highness Bian Wang told me, I also found it unbelievable. Later, I asked His Highness, if the faint king used some strange treasures, or magical weapons. The fairy book is It's not just a kind of magical weapon...but it was rejected by His Royal Highness Bian Wang.

"There is someone from His Royal Highness Bian Wang in Pinghu Division, and His Highness was there when he prayed for rain. He can tell what is a magic weapon and what is a strange treasure, and he can also tell whether the Hunjun used other means. .

"That's why when the Hunjun managed to spread the rain, His Highness could tell that the Hunjun didn't use strange treasures, didn't use magical weapons, and it had nothing to do with weird disasters. It seemed to be Hunjun's own power."

"Using one's own power...to spread the rain with clouds? This...this is the method of a god!"

Liu Yuan was extremely astonished.

He also finally understood why Zhao Chun and others knew that what they did would harm the people, but they still wanted to support the faint king and obey his orders.

If Emperor Qi'an had no skills, and he said he wanted to cultivate immortals but there was no feedback at all, it is estimated that even a loyal person would hesitate to do it when he heard Emperor Qi'an's order.

But what if Emperor Qi'an is real?

If you listen to his words, can you really achieve Taoism and become a fairy, can you really be ranked in the class of immortals?What will happen then?

I'm afraid most of them will be moved!
Afterwards, Emperor Qi'an used his status as the emperor to order again. I believe that many people will use the excuse of "loyalty to the emperor" to do things for him, just to become immortals with Emperor Qi'an in the future!
"Who says it's not, but even if you can become a fairy and use the lives of thousands of people to fulfill yourself, what kind of fairy is this? I don't think it's an exaggeration to call it a devil!

"His Royal Highness King Bian also started looking for divine soldiers on that day, because if Hunjun possesses such power, there is probably only divine soldiers in the world who can compete with him."

Zheng Hong said slowly.

After finishing talking about the Hunjun, Zheng Hong patted Liu Yuan on the shoulder and said:
"Anyway, you guys are on the same boat as us now, work hard, if you can be valued by His Royal Highness Bian Wang, you kid will have a great career in the future."

After Zheng Hong finished speaking, he turned his head to do other things.

Liu Yuan stood still and thought about it.

Now he has no way out, what else can he do besides go all the way to Hei with Bian Wang?

Moreover, Emperor Qi'an's actions really made him indignant. It is not impossible to follow His Highness Bian Wang to do things like this, but he doesn't know what percentage of His Highness Bian Wang's chances of winning against Emperor Qi An are.

I don't know how many rare treasures and magic weapons he has in his hand.

……

"Gu Chengli has been promoted."

Standing on the top floor of the restaurant in Ningzhou City, Gu Chen looked at the team coming from the capital below, and said to Shimura Danzo on the side.

Danzo still has a bandage wrapped around his body, but the difference is that he has changed into the clothes of this world.

Hearing what Gu Chen said, Danzo said without any surprise:
"If the emperor of this world does not want to force the Gu family to rebel, he must first stabilize the Gu family."

"Well, then pour all the dirty water on Zhao Chun, and let a dead man take the blame."

Gu Chen smiled mockingly.

Shimura Danzo said:
"This is expected, but after this incident, the Gu family may no longer have a stable life in the future."

"So, do I still have to go to the capital?"

Gu Chen looked away from below, landed on Danzo again, and asked in a calm tone.

Shimura Danzo was silent for a while, raised his head and looked at Gu Chen and said:

"If your lord wants to solve the problem from the root, then this capital must go, and must go."
