Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 486 The Inspector of Yangzhou
Entering Beijing?

When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he didn't immediately agree because of the eunuch's attitude.

From the previous words, it is not difficult to judge that the current capital is a place where dragons and snakes are mixed, and various forces are criss-crossed, including ghosts, ghosts, gods, Buddhas and princes.

After all, it is the land that dominates the country and the country, and its importance is almost as important as the Heavenly Palace in the sky.

But how many gods are there in the heavenly palace?How many ghosts and spirits are there on the ground?
Li Xiuyuan thinks it is mostly the latter.

"The national teacher wants me to enter the capital? Is this what he meant, or what the emperor meant?" Li Xiuyuan asked slowly after pondering for a while.

The chubby eunuch who was kneeling on the ground raised his head and said sincerely: "The ancestor once said that only the saints in the south can rule the world."

Li Xiuyuan said slowly: "The fruit farmer has planted fruit trees all his life, and the fruit they bear may not necessarily be his own. How do I know that the national teacher is not using me?"

The chubby eunuch was at a loss for words, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he didn't know how to answer.

"Aren't you here to announce the decree on behalf of the court's envoy? Where is the decree?" Li Xiuyuan suddenly said again: "Bring it for me to see."

"Yes." The chubby eunuch stood up respectfully, then turned around and went back to the room, holding out a brocade box.

Li Xiuyuan stretched out his hand to grab it from the air, intending to use the star-picking technique to get it, but he saw an imperial aura enveloped on the brocade box, churning up and down, like mountains and rivers in Kyushu, capable of suppressing ghosts and spirits.

"The imperial decree of the emperor is indeed extraordinary. It represents the orthodoxy and the country and the country. Every word and deed is blessed by the fortune of the country. Just like the divine decree in the heavenly palace, one represents the sky and the other represents the earth, but" the golden light in his eyes flash.

The brocade box containing the imperial decree split open instantly, and the imperial decree flew out of it immediately and fell into the hand.

"It's just that the fate of the country is in decline, and a piece of imperial decree is not as heavy as imagined." Li Xiuyuan held the imperial decree in his hand and opened it.

The handwriting on it is straight and correct, meticulous, with edges and corners, and one can tell at a glance that it was written by a top calligrapher, and the emperor's seal is stamped on a corner of the imperial decree.

However, it is not ordered by the sky, that is, the four words of longevity and eternal prosperity.

The Chuanguo Yuxi is only used on special occasions, such as worshiping the heavens and praying for blessings, but it is not used for promulgating government orders, because the Chuanguo Yuxi is only a symbol of the emperor and represents orthodoxy.

Li Xiuyuan glanced at ten lines, quickly skimming the contents of the imperial decree.

"The imperial court named me the governor of Yangzhou, leading Yangzhou's culture, governance and military preparations? Do you have the right to recommend and dismiss officials?" His expression moved slightly, and he became a little surprised. As for the BMWs, jade belts, gold and silver, and silks and satins that were rewarded later, he didn't even look at them. .

Governor of Yangzhou~!

Li Xiuyuan murmured softly.

This kind of position is not low. It was equivalent to the minister of the frontier in the prosperous dynasty. To put it bluntly, it was equivalent to the level of a prince when the dynasty was in decline. Of course, the grade is not as high as the prince, but in terms The word of power is higher than that of princes.

As for the right to recall later, it is only the dismissal of officials below the seventh rank.

That is to say, he can dismiss officials below the county magistrate.

However, he has the right to recommend instead, and he can replace any county magistrate in Yangzhou.

"Is this the benefit of the national teacher?" Li Xiuyuan shook the imperial decree in his hand and asked.

The fat eunuch didn't dare to speak too much, the human saint in front of him was at the same level as the ancestor, how could he dare to speak nonsense with such a little bit of morality and eccentricity.

"Young master, isn't this a good thing? Inspector of Yanzhou, this is a very important official. I remember that a clan elder sister used to be a concubine in a governor's home, and successfully avoided the thunder disaster. It's a pity that she became pregnant and gave birth later. , revealed his original shape, and was beaten to death by the unconscionable governor

. "Sister Hu said, with a sad look on her face.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Being an official is indeed a good thing, but after taking over the post of governor of Yangzhou, according to the law of the court, I have to go to Beijing to report on my work, that is to say, if I want to be governor of Yangzhou, I have to go to the capital. , otherwise this official will not be able to do so, so I have to go to this capital
Yes, is that so, my lord envoy? "

As he spoke, he looked at the eunuch in front of him.

The fat eunuch remained silent, just lying on the ground in fear.

"If I don't say anything, I can guess that there is no free lunch in the world. I solved the crisis of Jinling City and Ping Jiushan King. For a guerrilla general, it is a blessing to be promoted to the general army, but I was able to be promoted to the top of the army." The position of governor of Yangzhou came up, so it can be seen that the reward is not low. I believe that the position above the court

Master Guoshi has put in a lot of effort.Otherwise I wouldn't get the job either. "Li Xiuyuan said.

Third Sister Hu thought for a while, and said: "The young master is going or not? Isn't the higher the position the more convenient for the young master?"

Li Xiuyuan also pondered.

According to his previous plan, he would go all the way through the imperial examination, get into the top three in the imperial examination within one year, and then be released as an official, first governing the world's ghosts and gods, and then governing officials with the power of ghosts and gods.

Avoid the battle between courts.

Because he knew that his personality was not suitable for being an official, and he didn't want to wade into this muddy water.

However, the plan changed, the King of Nine Mountains rebelled, and Dongyue Shenjun sent Yang Biao down to earth, taking advantage of the rebellion to plot and kill himself, so he had no choice but to raise troops to quell the chaos, and this is where we are today.

"You're right. Once I get the post of governor of Yangzhou, I can manage Yangzhou within a year. In this way, the nine states in the world will be safe. Once Yangzhou is stable, I will use this as the cornerstone. Once the world is safe, I will complete my own ideas in my lifetime. Difficult." Li Xiuyuan stood up and looked at the
outside the window.

"But now that I am in Beijing, I am also worried that I will get involved in the battle too early, so that the plan will fail. After all, the water in the capital is too deep."

Having said that, he actually still has a hesitation in his heart.

That is, what exactly does this national teacher want to do?
The Taoism of the national teacher has reached a very terrifying level. There are very few things in the world that he cannot accomplish. However, why does such a spirit choose to infiltrate the court and control the government.

It's not doing him any good.

A great demon of a thousand years, a dynasty of hundreds of years.

The change of dynasties is the law of history. Some spirits benefit from the change of dynasties, but no spirits will be involved in the disputes in the change of dynasties.

The third sister Hu said that Tang Minghuang was visiting the Moon Palace, but no one knew who led Tang Minghuang into the Moon Palace, and that expert disappeared.

Because the Taoist had already received the benefits of Tang Minghuang's reward, he retired after his success.

She also said that Zhang Sengyao painted dragon and horse pictures, but Zhang Sengyao's painting skills have been passed down through the ages, he himself is just an ordinary official, and he has not made any special achievements.

Poet fairy Li Bai wrote poems all his life, but it was just a casual job, writing poems for the emperor for entertainment.

Why?

They also dare not get involved in the catastrophe of dynasty replacement.

However, this national teacher went the other way and took his own body into robbery, which is definitely not in line with the spirit and strange style of practice.

Li Xiuyuan couldn't figure out what the conspiracy was.

It is precisely because he can't figure it out that he is not sure whether the national teacher is an enemy or a friend, so he feels jealous.

At their level, personal grievances are nothing, the most important thing is: Dao.

Li Xiuyuan wanted to complete his human way, he killed some ghosts and gods who shouldn't be killed, even though there was no grievance between them.

After pondering for a while.

He made up his mind.

Since you can no longer take the road of imperial examinations, why not take this opportunity to go straight to the top?As for the depth of the water in the capital, that is a matter for later.

He can even defeat the gods of Dongyue in the sky, so what difficulties in the world can stop him from moving forward.

Since the road is under our feet, it cannot stop.

Immediately, Li Xiuyuan turned his head and said: "I have accepted this imperial decree, and I will go north to Beijing to report on my duties soon, so that the national teacher can rest assured, but the ugly words are up front. The national teacher wants to lure me to Beijing to help him. It's all wishful thinking, I didn't agree, how will the situation be after entering Beijing?

Changes are out of my control. He has his own plans, and I have my own. "

"Yes, I will tell the old ancestor what Master Li said." The fat eunuch said.

Li Xiuyuan nodded, and strode away with the imperial decree.

"I have one more thing to ask for Master Li's help. The court urges me to send Fu Tianchou, the servant of the Ministry of War, to Beijing." The eunuch hurriedly said again.

"I know about this." Li Xiuyuan's voice came without turning his head.

After Li Xiuyuan left with Third Sister Hu and Lei Gong, the chubby eunuch and the 300-year-old centipede next to him breathed a sigh of relief.

It feels like walking around the edge of life and death.

"A sage cannot be bullied, his majesty is so powerful, the sage in the south really deserves his reputation."

The shriveled human skin next to him quickly filled up again and turned into a thin eunuch, and then he said in fear: "What is that big rooster next to him? I was too scared to move just because it was staring at me. .”

"I also can't see through it. It seems to have Taoism, but it doesn't seem to be there, but it is extraordinary. How can there be ordinary things around the saints in the world? You and I have stayed behind closed doors these days. Once we are in the capital, we can run amok. I'm sure that if we do something wrong in Yangzhou
Things that are out of character will definitely be punished, even the ancestors can't protect us. "The fat eunuch said seriously.

"Before, I felt that there were ghosts and gods peeping at us. It was a divine eye technique, and I could only detect it with my Taoism. Wang, there are tens of thousands of Yin soldiers, it seems that there are still some concealments, and there is no

Knowing the old ancestor heard the words, whether it is good or bad to invite saints to Beijing. "

The 300-year-old centipede spirit showed awe and fear on his face when he heard the words, and shrank involuntarily, and really didn't even dare to go out the door.

He also wanted to take a good tonic after leaving the capital this time, and increase his morality, but now it seems that he can only think about it in a dream.
