Troubled Times: Added six doors at the beginning, pushing the world horizontally

Chapter 158
Yanjing, six doors.

Cui Jingsheng sent the eunuchs of the East Palace away from the courtyard all the way, his brows furrowed.

Zhan Hongling walked in from the outside, and said in surprise, "Second brother, what did that person come for just now?"

Seeing Zhan Hongling coming, Cui Jingsheng asked, "Is the matter in Taizhou settled?"

"Yeah." Zhan Hongling nodded, and said helplessly, "Sun Hechuan has left for the time being, but I don't think he is someone who will give up easily."

For the sake of his own son, he would not hesitate to sacrifice his face to do it himself, there is nothing he can't do.

Cui Jingsheng shook his head and said, "This kid is really missed."

"The people from the East Palace came just now, and His Highness the Crown Prince ordered Shen Du to be one of the judges for this Ascension to Heaven Banquet."

"What?!" Zhan Hongling said in surprise, "Let him?"

"Your Highness wants him to enter Beijing?"

The Ascension to Heaven Banquet has always been the most important thing, and no mistakes can be tolerated.

Why did the prince suddenly transfer Shen to Beijing alone?

"En." Cui Jingsheng nodded slightly and sighed softly.

Originally, based on his thinking, he didn't intend to let Shen go to Beijing alone so soon.

His foundation is not stable, and his qualifications are not enough. The water in this capital is too deep.

He planned to be transferred to Shen Du next year and then serve in another place for three years before transferring him to Beijing.

At that time, he may also have the power to protect himself, and he can also compete for the position of god catcher.

But he couldn't disobey the prince's order.

The prince cannot mobilize the six doors, but as the prince who supervises the country, he can.

Zhan Hongling suddenly said: "That's right, that kid has made a breakthrough, and now he's in the three-flower gathering state."

"Last time, I also killed a landlord of Tsing Yi Building."

Cui Jingsheng was taken aback, then looked at Zhan Hongling silently, after a long silence, he said, "Forget it, let him come to the capital."

It's not necessarily safer to stay outside than the capital!
……

Taizhou,

Inside the restaurant,
Today is the day when the new governor of Taizhou takes office, and Shen Ju specially hosted a banquet in honor of him.

He also knew that it was impossible for the imperial court to leave the governor's position vacant all the time, and it was even more impossible for him to be in charge of Taizhou with a person from six doors.

He said it was a banquet, but he actually wanted to meet the new governor.

The door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man in official uniform walked in quickly, bowed his hands first and saluted: "I have met Mr. Shen."

The tone is extremely sincere, and the posture is extremely low.

The man looked to be in his fifties, with a lot of white hair on his temples, dusty, and a little sweat on both sides of his forehead.

Shen Du did not hesitate to look at the new governor, Chen Maobo.

If it's someone who doesn't know what's interesting, he doesn't mind sending the other party to see Hades.

But depending on this person's attitude, it may save a lot of trouble.

Chen Maobo was extremely disturbed at the moment.

Taizhou has a rich territory. If it were changed to the past, there must be many people vying for the position of governor.

But since those things happened, no one wants to go to Taizhou.

Who wants to reap some benefits from sending it to another state, but it is obviously impossible in Taizhou.

Chen Maobo once served as the magistrate of the county, and later served as the director of Shenggun Prefecture, was transferred to Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, and served as a lecturer in the Imperial Academy.

His official career was very mediocre, and it can be regarded as quite satisfactory. With the help of the chief officer of the scientific examination, he was transferred to Beijing.

He is a typical poor family boy!
With his qualifications and achievements, he is barely enough to be sent to a remote state capital, but he is not able to become a state official.

The state capitals in various places have always been a radish and a pit. When there are good vacancies, those from the aristocratic families are the first to choose.

These humble children have no chance at all.

This time he was able to serve as the governor of a state, which he himself did not expect. It is extremely rare for him to be promoted to two levels in one place.

On the way here, he heard about Taizhou.

So after hearing that Shen Du was hosting a banquet, he didn't dare to delay even a minute, so he hurried over.

Shen Du waved his hands and said with a smile: "Master Chen, please sit down!"

"Yes."

Chen Maobo cupped his hands, and sat down a little cautiously at the side.

He is obviously the chief official of a state, but at this moment he looks like a subordinate official.

Xu Chong and the others in the room looked at each other with weird expressions.

This is the first time I have seen such a cowardly assassin.

Shen Du looked at Chen Maobo, raised his glass and said with a smile: "Master Chen, we will work together in the future, and I hope we can cooperate sincerely and serve the imperial court together."

Chen Maobo hurriedly picked up his wine glass, smiling all over his face: "Chen has just arrived here, and he is not familiar with everything in this place. Master Shen is still in charge."

"No matter what Mr. Shen asks, Mr. Chen will try his best to do it."

After more than ten years in the capital, he has already seen things in the officialdom very clearly.

So his attitude is very clear.

As for the Taizhou matter, whatever you say is what you say.

He still has a big family to support, and he doesn't want to die so soon.

Shen Du smiled and clapped his hands lightly.

Soon, Liang Ying stepped forward and handed a box to the table.

Chen Maobo was puzzled and said, "Master Shen, this is..."

Shen Du held the wine glass, smiled without saying a word, while Liang Ying reached out and opened the brocade box.

Suddenly, the bright golden light came into Chen Maobo's eyes.

A box full of gold made Chen Maobo couldn't help swallowing.

He has been an official for dozens of years, so it may not be true if he is said to be clean, but since he entered Beijing, he has never received a gift.

For his lowly position, who would give him a gift.

Shen Du said lightly: "I wonder if Mr. Chen is satisfied with some gifts?"

Chen Maobo took a deep breath and said softly: "This is too precious..."

Shen Du turned his head slightly, looked at Chen Maobo, stared at him, and said meaningfully: "Master Chen, isn't he going to give Shen some face?"

"Don't dare." Chen Maobo's face turned pale with fright, he waved his hands again and again, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Shen."

He knew that if he accepted the gold, the handle would fall into Shen Du's hands.

Shen Du smiled, got up and said: "I still have business to deal with, so I will take my leave first."

This governor saved him a lot of trouble.

Chen Maobo got up quickly and sent Shen Du out of the restaurant.

After watching Shen Du and his party go away, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

He doesn't intend to interfere with Taizhou's affairs, he can settle down for a few years, and finally he can settle down and become a scholar.

……

Taizhou has a new governor, but for the people of Taizhou, life has not changed much.

They seem to have gotten used to the days without a governor.

After Chen Maobo took office, everything was done step by step. If there is a case, he will try the case, and if there is no case, he will stay behind closed doors.

He never asked about everything in Taizhou City.

After half a month,
A letter from the six gates of Beijing was quickly sent to the six gates of Taizhou.

Shen Du flipped through the letter in his hand, groaning silently.

"Ascension to Heaven Banquet..."

He has a certain understanding of Yan Kingdom's Ascension to Heaven Banquet.

And as far as he knew, there seemed to be something good about the Ascension to Heaven Banquet this time.

It's just that he didn't expect that Six Doors would let him be one of the judges of the Ascension to Heaven Banquet.

Shen Du put down the letter, looked at the few people in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "A letter from Beijing, let me go to the Ascension to Heaven Banquet, and then Taizhou will depend on you."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, Liang Ying hesitated and said: "My lord, could this be some kind of trap?"

In Taizhou, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and no one can control them, but once they enter the capital, it will be different.

Shen Du's expression was indifferent, and he said calmly: "This matter is an order from the six sects in Beijing, even if those people want to do something, they won't do it clearly."

Even if the Six Doors were not called this time, he still planned to go to Jingzhong.

Tackling himself over and over again, do you really think he is made of mud?

The last time the Jing'an Palace incident happened, it was obvious that there was someone planning behind it.

He had already learned from Xia Muting that she had suddenly received the news that Sun Jiuyang was in Taizhou.

Judging from the character of that guy Sun Jiuyang, since he came to arrest the traitor, it is impossible for someone to report to Xia Muting.

If it wasn't for the third prince, it was the enemy of Prince Jing'an's mansion who wanted to use his own hands to punish King Jing'an.

What's more, fighting in the rivers and lakes will always make greater progress than retreating and hard training. Shen Du is very clear that he is actually warlike in his bones. Compared with conspiracy and tricks, he prefers to solve things with fists and swords.

After explaining the various matters in Taizhou, Shen Du set off overnight.

Of course, it was said to the outside world that he was in seclusion. Anyway, he was in seclusion for so long last time, and everyone was no stranger to it.

……

After leaving Taizhou, Shen Du went straight into Taizhou, and then continued north along Taizhou.

Along the way, Shen Du saw quite a few people from the rivers and lakes, all of them were in a hurry, and their purpose was very clear. They all went north to Yanjing City, apparently to attend the "Ascension to Heaven Banquet".

The Ascension to Heaven Banquet is only held every three years, and it is presided over by the royal family of the Yan Kingdom. The scale is unprecedented. Not only the younger generation, but also many powerful people from the older generation.

At the Ascension to Heaven Banquet, there is another custom, that is, the strong preach.

At the Ascension to Heaven Banquet, everyone can ask any questions to the experts who participated in the banquet, and many experts even shared their insights about martial arts.

It can be said that this is a rare opportunity for many Jianghu people who are born in the grass and lakes. It can save them a lot of unnecessary hard work and avoid many detours.

If it can be valued by the royal family, there will be no need to worry about resources in the future.

At the beginning, Yan Guo relied on this skill to attract many heroes of the world. Later, several countries saw that Yan Guo was aggressively recruiting talents, and they also launched similar activities.

Thunderstorms continued.

In the night, thunder surged in the dark clouds.

A light rain fell on the ground.

On the official road, Shen Du rode his horse and galloped, looked at the sky, and went straight to the inn in the distance.

After several days of rushing, even a strange beast like Chilongju couldn't hold on.

Now it is not far from Yanjing City, so he is not in a hurry.

And this heavy rain has always been what Chilongju hates the most.

Shen Du quickly came to the front of the inn, looked at the inn, got off his horse, and walked towards the inn.

It seems that nine out of ten inns open in the wild are black shops.

If you don't have any skills, you won't choose to move in.

If the Red Dragon Colt does not take the initiative to show off, outsiders will see it as just a special horse, otherwise with the Chilong Colt's supernatural power, troubles will be inevitable along the way.

Shen Du led the red dragon horse into the stable, then turned and walked towards the inn.

Pushing open the door, everyone in the lobby of the building looked over together, almost all of the dozen or so tables were full.

Without exception, these people are all Jianghu people who have accomplished martial arts. Among them are the sons who are luxuriously dressed, and there are also rough-faced Jianghu reckless.

Shen Du was wearing a bamboo hat, looking dusty, everyone just glanced at it, and quickly looked away.

Only one person shouted: "Brother, close the door, it's so cold!"

In fact, it is not too cold, even if it is windy outside, all the rain is blown into the lobby.

Shen Du closed the door casually, and a waiter at an inn immediately came up to him and asked, "Guest officer, do you want to stay at the top or stay at the inn?"

"Stay in store!"

"One upper room, prepare a table of wine and food, just look at it."

Shen Du found an empty seat in the corner and sat down.

"okay!"

The waiter waiter responded, and quickly set off to the back kitchen to give instructions.

While waiting, the door of the inn was pushed open again, and a figure wearing a bamboo hat wrapped tightly around himself broke in.

The visitor was carrying a long sword on his back, as soon as he entered the inn, he pretended to be proud and said: "Xiaoer, here are two catties of wine and ten catties of beef!"

Shen Du looked sideways slightly, with strange eyes.

Although he deliberately lowered his voice, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was a woman's voice.

And it's a...fat sheep!
People who really wandered around in the rivers and lakes would never say such stupid words.

　Three more offer.
