Cultivating the Tao: Beginning with Meditation and Liver Experience

Chapter 13 Behind the big reward, the clown is me?

The next day, morning!
Dingyuan Houfu.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said:

Xu Yan, a hundred households of Habayashi Guards, has good moral character, is humble, diligent and conscientious in doing things, has the ability to discern the details, and has made great achievements. He was specially transferred to the imperial court to listen to orders, and was awarded the post of sixth-rank imperial former Si Zhaowu Xiaowei.

A pair of basalt armor, ten thousand taels of gold, ten blood corals, ten century-old precious medicines, ten pairs of precious jades, and a hundred silks and satins are bestowed.This! "

An angel from the palace came and shouted an edict, which echoed in all directions, causing everyone in the field to look at Xu Yan with surprise and envy.

It must be known that Xu Ce, the eldest grandson of the Dingyuan Hou Mansion, is only the seventh-rank Dianwei of the Five Armies Protector's Mansion, and the leader of the younger generation of the Dingyuan Hou Mansion.

Now, the former kid who was a playful braggart has advanced by leaps and bounds, and the latecomers are on top, and he has become the sixth-rank Zhaowu school lieutenant of Yuqiansi, and the holy family Changlong.

Such a gap.

Not to mention that the younger generation of Dingyuan Marquis Mansion couldn't accept it, even Xu Yan's uncles and others all had complicated expressions, either ashamed, gratified, contemptuous, or jealous.

no way.

Although there are many children in the Marquis Mansion, not many of them can become talents and make a difference in the court, except for the old man who has a first-rank marquis title and a second-rank general who is a general of the Fuguo.

Among the second-generation children, only Xu Yan's uncle, Xu Jin, the eldest son of the old man, had the highest official position. He was a third-rank general and led troops to guard the Northland. He was a real figure with real power.

Then there is Xu Jing, Xu Yan's father, and Zhan Shi, the son of the prince's mansion. Although they are both of the fourth rank, they have no real power and only assist the prince in handling some sundries.

The rest, like Xu Yan's second uncle, fourth uncle, sixth uncle, seventh uncle, etc., either did not enter the court, or they had some casual jobs in the army or in the court, neither high nor low.

The best one is the fourth Boss Xu Shao, the fifth-rank doctor of the Ministry of War.

Below that are mostly casual jobs like rank six and rank seven, which are far from being able to compare with Xu Yan, the rank six captain of Yuqian Si Zhaowu.

In other words, with a single credit, Xu Yan directly went from being a braggart kid whom no one looked up to, to being a latecomer, and getting into the top five ranks of the Dingyuan Houfu.

It's no wonder everyone feels better.

It's not about the fights between rich and powerful families, but the ambivalence of "I'm afraid that my brothers will live a miserable life, and I'm also afraid that my brothers will lead me away".

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En, Your Majesty, ten thousand years!"

Xu Yan accepted his thanks loudly, and felt much better in his heart.

As expected of the Holy Son of Heaven, the handwriting is different. After this reward, at least a few hundred thousand taels of silver, Xu Yan can spend his whole life waiting to die.

Coupled with the idea of ​​​​Wandao True Self God and Spiritual Conception and Xuanwu Armor.

Serve as bait for his adventures.

It's not unacceptable either.

It's not that Xu Yan is fickle, it's because the other party has given too much.

Another promotion, another series of heavy rewards, not to mention Xu Yan, a small Habayashi guard, even a martial sage, can't resist it.

So much so that, at this moment, Xu Yan couldn't help but have such a thought in his heart: "The emperor can get along with him, and he is really willing to give it to him if there are benefits."

It's not at all like some capitalist bosses in the previous life, who only knew how to paint big cakes, and were reluctant to give an extra salary of 200 yuan.

"Xiaoyan is promising!"

"Congratulations brother Yan, you have to meet the emperor who values ​​rewards."

"I knew that Ah Yan could do it, he was smart since he was a child..."

"..."

After the messenger angel left, Xu Yan became the most beautiful boy in the Dingyuan Houfu, and he was overwhelmed by all kinds of compliments as if he didn't want money.

"Okay, let's all go away!" In the end, the old man rescued him, waved away the crowd, and greeted him: "Come with me to the study!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Seeing this, Xu Yan apologized to everyone and hurriedly followed.

…………

In the study room!
The grandfather and grandson stood there quietly.

After a long time, the old man spoke first, picked up a jade plaque and handed it to him, saying, "This is a talisman I asked for from the national teacher. You carry it with you, it can save lives in critical moments."

"From today onwards, you should stay in the mansion honestly. Try to wear the Xuanwu Armor with you, even if you are sleeping, don't take it off."

"In addition, I will let Ah Yong follow you in the next few days, and His Majesty will send someone to protect you secretly, so you don't have to worry too much."

The old man spoke lightly, saying that he told Xu Yan not to worry.

However, after Xu Yan heard these words, he became even more worried, and said, "No, Ah Weng, no matter how stupid those people are, they wouldn't attack me at this time, would they?"

Xu Yan couldn't figure it out.

Did Dagan Emperor Yang An and others regard the people behind Feng Bao as fools? No matter how stupid those people are, they couldn't possibly know that it was a trap and jump into it foolishly.

How stupid would it be to do this?

The old man didn't think it was ridiculous at all, he just glanced at Xu Yan lightly, and said, "When a person thinks that others are stupid, he needs to reflect on whether he is the stupid person."

"There are too many methods in this world that can kill people invisible. If you have absolute power and want to take revenge on someone, would you consider timing?"

"So, in the next period of time, whether you are in the Hou's mansion or in the palace, you must be careful. Don't think that people can be safe in the Hou's mansion and the palace."

"The people behind the scenes can even train eunuchs in purple robes to become dead men. Do you think they can kill you silently under the protection of everyone?"

The old man sneered and warned: "I'll give you a piece of advice, if you don't want to die, don't leave the capital during this time."

"In the capital of the gods, there are kingly formations to suppress, such as Taoism, spells, etc., will be greatly suppressed, just be careful of Gu, qi, witchcraft, and warrior attacks."

"However, once you leave the capital of the gods and the protection of the kingly way formation, let alone you, even a martial saint may die for no apparent reason. Even the emperor must be careful to prevent accidents."

"So, if you don't want to die, for the next period of time, you should honestly practice martial arts in closed doors in the manor. Don't go anywhere, and don't contact anyone. I will ask for leave for you from His Majesty."

Xu Yan was completely frightened.

He had previously thought that the Emperor Daqian offered such a large reward because he wanted to use him as a bait to lure out the people behind the scenes.

Now I know what the old man said.

This is not trying to use him as a bait, it is completely a settling fee for him.

Just like the old man said.

There are too many invisible means to kill people in this world, even a martial saint can die without understanding, let alone a small martial artist.

If the person behind the scenes really wanted to take revenge, the imperial court might not be able to keep him.

However, the imperial court cannot just sit back and watch the death of Xu Yan, a person who has just made great contributions, otherwise it will be a huge blow to the majesty of the imperial court, making people afraid to work hard for the imperial court.

That's why the Dagan emperor will make two-handed preparations.

One is to increase his official status and give him Xuanwu Armor to strengthen Xu Yan's spirit of dragon and tiger, so as to prevent him from being attacked by evil methods such as Taoism and incantations, and try to save his life as much as possible.

The second is a heavy reward, a huge reward, even if Xu Yan dies, it can still attract a steady stream of people to serve the court, that is: under a heavy reward, there must be brave men!
A two-pronged approach can ensure that the prestige of the Daqian court will not be hit because of this incident, but it will play the role of buying a horse bone with a lot of money.

Listening to the old man's narration, Xu Yan was instantly dumbfounded!
Good guy.

Really good guy.

Is this the so-called scheming and imperial tricks?

I thought they were on the first floor, but who knew they were on the fifth floor, and the clown turned out to be me.

Compared with these old foxes, my so-called workplace experience is a complete joke, and I don't know if I can improve my IQ after I improve my concept level.

Otherwise, there is really no way to mix it!
