Ark's Journey to the Demon God

"Excuse me, cough, cough, no problem."

Reluctantly holding up his body with the staff, the messenger rubbed his head and walked into the hall——

"Qi Zhen...huh?"

The messenger was stunned and found that the dragon chair on the steps was empty.

"Masters? Where is your Majesty?"

"It's not yet midnight, and His Majesty is still preparing in the back hall."

"Oh, then I..."

"Is Lord Shen here? Please ask him to come in first." Taifu slowly straightened up and said.

"Taifu, this..." The messenger looked around and suddenly felt a chill on his neck.

What's going on with this atmosphere?Why is it so heavy?

The messenger's eyes swept across the ministers present, and then he saw the big black face of the Minister of Rites.

"The Lord of Letania has entered the palace, what are you doing standing there in a daze? It's not a courtesy to have guests wait outside the palace!"

The envoy was shocked by the words of Lord Shangshu. Why did he feel that there was something in the words of Lord Shangshu?How is this going?

"Let Lord Shen come in, I'll receive you first."

This... the messenger instinctively felt something was wrong, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to walk out of the hall and said to Shen Muke:

"Master Shen, the emperor of our court is still preparing in the back hall. I will take you to meet the princes of my court during this moment."

Shen Muke raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, it all depends on the envoy."

The messenger nodded and said: "Please!"

Shen Muke followed behind and suddenly heard the envoy sighing and saying: "Master Shen, the atmosphere in the court is different today. If there is any offense in the future, please do not vent your anger on me, the emperor..."

Shen Muke calmly walked into the palace.

……

The hall was decorated inside and outside, the banquet had been arranged, and officials were sitting on both sides of the hall. It was obvious that the emperor valued him. However, when Shen Muke turned his attention to the court officials, he couldn't help but frown.

"I have met the Lord of Letania!"

The old master took the lead and stood up to salute with the other ministers.

Shen Muke subconsciously returned the greeting to the officials, and then saw the officials return to their seats in silence, without even introducing themselves.

At this time, the emperor was well prepared. He followed the eunuch to the back of the palace. According to the plan agreed with the Taifu, he stood behind the steps and secretly listened to the situation in the front palace.

Shen Muke looked around and found the seat reserved for himself at the front on the left side of the hall.

"What is this? A show of force? Does Dayan also pay attention to this?"

Shen Muke thought to himself, and finally sat down calmly, waiting for the next words from the ministers.

The Master of the Ministry of Personnel looked at the Taifu on the side and saw the old Taifu nodding slightly. The Minister knew that it was time to start.

Shen Muke's first test in Dayan begins here!

Chapter 50 The Terran version of the Confucian Confucius

Dayan Chaotang

Above, Shen Muke, who felt something was wrong in the atmosphere, smiled slightly.

Although he couldn't predict the future, he could still secretly think of what would happen next and roughly guess the reason.

Most of the officials present were dissatisfied when they saw their emperor treating me so politely, and wanted to take this opportunity to make things difficult for me.

However, Shen Muke didn't have any bad feelings about it, and even appreciated it a little.

In the past, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Mr. Liu visited the thatched cottage three times, Guan and Zhang had some complaints. After Kong Ming came out of the mountain, the two of them continued to make things difficult for them. It was not until the victory at Bowangpo that Guan and Zhang were convinced.

But now, Shen Muke himself encountered such a situation.

He knew that the officials of Dayan were not targeting him intentionally, but out of loyalty to their emperor and wanted to test whether he had real materials.

Hey, no big deal, since you want to be Guanzhang, what's the harm in me being Zhuge?

Shen Muke was calm and composed, waiting for the opponent to make a move.

The first person to speak was the Minister of Civil Affairs, Zuo Shilang. This old man with a gray beard said, "Mr. Shen has come a long way. Thank you for your hard work along the way."

Shen Muke raised his eyebrows and looked at the messenger sitting next to him.

The envoy hurriedly introduced: "Mr. Shen, this is Mr. Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of our court."

Shen Muke smiled and cupped his hands and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Zuo Shilang, disrespectful and disrespectful."

As soon as he spoke his standard Yanguo dialect, Mr. Zuo Shilang couldn't stop him. The old man could only return the greeting and said: "Mr. Shen is really knowledgeable, I admire him."

"Excuse me, Mr. Zuo Shilang, for my concern. I didn't have a hard time this time, but the messenger was a little unhappy when I crossed the empire of consciousness."

The old messenger blushed and lowered his head silently.

Zuo Shilang rolled his eyes and said: "Mr. Shen really has the power to control the empire of consciousness? There are also giant beasts of the same kind in my court, and it can be the same. Now it seems that they have many things in common with Mr. Shen." At the place!"

Hiss...Is this old guy scolding me for not being a human being?

Shen Muke frowned. Was he going to do personal attacks as soon as he came up?This is what is called making things difficult, right?

Shen Muke smiled and raised his hands in return: "What the Lord Minister said is very flattering to me. I heard that there is also a Qing Lei Bo in your country, who also has the ability to conquer the heaven and earth, and the unpredictable skills of gods and ghosts! The envoy came to our country. , thanks to his transporting skills, now that I think about it, we should be in the same category!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the officials of Tianshi Mansion were visibly grim. They stared at the left servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and thought, "What did you say, old man?" Bar!

The Minister of Civil Affairs glanced at his subordinates, shook his head slightly, and said: "Mr. Shen's sharp words are obviously extraordinary, but I don't know what official position Mr. Shen holds in your country?"

What kind of official am I?

Shen Muke subconsciously wanted to say monarch, but he swallowed the words again.

No, you can't say that I am the monarch, because the monarchs of Leitania have always been twin sisters. I only control the real power, but I have no apparent identity.Huan;:Welcome "in"! Enter【,!night;attack";'s":month:fei.'qun;:】:.6;9.4:9.,3:""6!,1:3"; 5."

After thinking for a long time, Shen Muke finally said: "Yu Bucai will temporarily serve as the supervisor of Leitania and take charge of the country's affairs."

"To be in charge of the administration of a country? Hahahahaha!" Beside the Minister of Rites, a right minister who looked older than the minister and the left minister opened his mouth and laughed, saying: "The younger generation is so arrogant! Judging from the age of the king, but How dare you talk about the country and the country when you are around thirty years old? It is expected that Leitania is a small country with few people and few talents, so that is why a junior like you is allowed to be in power!"

Hehe~ Instead of a personal attack, it was changed to an insult to national dignity?Okay, old guy, your methods have improved to a higher level!

Shen Muke lowered his head with a smile, and suddenly pointed to the dishes on the table and said to the envoy beside him: "Sir envoy, what is this side dish?"

The messenger was stunned for a moment and replied: "This...this is a pigeon captured by I, Dayan Jiangqi. It was smeared with honey and baked."

"In the small country of Leitania, the Lord Supervisor has never even eaten roasted pigeon?" the right minister said sarcastically. As soon as this was said, all the officials laughed.

Shen Muke didn't panic, picked up a pigeon with chopsticks, pointed at it and said, "Gentlemen, listen to me."

"This pigeon is only a few inches long, and with its wings spread out, it is only over a foot."

"However, although the pigeon is small, it has all the internal organs. It is not much different from other animals and birds, or even the billions of mortals on the mainland!"

"It can be seen that the size of the country is not the decisive factor for the scarcity and abundance of talents. Think of me, Letania, which was founded in the flames of war. After the war between the four emperors, it was scattered for hundreds of years, and now it is finally unified! The army and the people are integrated, and everything is done. Practicing music and music, everyone is like a dragon, just like this dove and eagle, he will make great achievements and be proud of the world! How can we say that Leitania, where everyone is like a dragon, has few talents? "

Shen Muke put down his chopsticks and joked: "As for Yu being too young to take on such a big job...hehe, since I entered Leitania, I have killed the tyrannical Witch King, slaughtered the elected princes, recruited talented people, and implemented benevolent government. , finally made the sky clear in Leitania, and everyone returned home!"

"It seems that a person's ability is not limited by his age, but by his means and mind!"

"I look at all the gentlemen here, they are all blue and older than me. However, if you all enter Leitania, you may not be able to make Leitania look like

Now, it looks brand new, right? "

well said!

Behind the main hall, the emperor who eavesdropped on the conversation secretly clenched his fists, Shen Muke, he is indeed so majestic and heroic!When Dayan interacts with this person, he will definitely make a mistake!

However, the ministers in front of the main hall were suffering. Mr. Right Minister, who is over 70 years old this year, almost lost his temper after hearing these words.

He was not because Shen Muke resolved all his difficulties, but because Shen Muke looked down on him. What does it mean that this may not be the case?Doesn't it mean that Dayan's ministers are not as good as him?

"Ahem, cough, cough." The minister of Suzhengyuan coughed a few times and said, "We have heard that Mr. Shen is carrying out reforms in Leitania, but I don't know what reforms he has made?"

"It's just about getting rid of the old and welcoming the new, and cutting off some rotten flesh in order to ensure the stability of the country."

"I can't wait to hear more details."

Shen Muke smiled and shook his head, saying: "It's nothing, it's just the word "kill"!"

Just killing words? !

What a cruel boy!

The ministers present looked at each other and said, "Mr. Shen has just taken over the power. If he is so aggressive, aren't you afraid that your country will suffer losses and people's resentment will boil over?"

"The public resentment is boiling?" Shen Muke raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't think that I will use severe punishments to kill the people of Li, do you?"

The officials looked at each other and thought, isn't it?

"No, no, no! Although I killed a lot of people, they all deserve to die!"

"May I ask, sir, who deserves death in Letania?"

"Well, that's a lot!" Shen Muke stretched out his hand and counted: "In the past, the Witch King acted rebelliously and was cruel and unethical, so I had his head exposed to the public."

"The princes and electors each occupied one area. Although they had land, they did not care about world affairs, which caused instability in the country. I then sent out soldiers to kill them all!"

"The Witch King's remnants persecuted civilians, causing innocent children to suffer in vain, so I slaughtered them all to demonstrate the law!"

"Although Yu Jianguo has killed a lot of people so far, every one of them is reasonable and legal. How can we say that Yu Sheji has done something wrong?"

Everyone in the Suzhengyuan looked at each other and were speechless for a moment. Suddenly, the Censor of Kyoto said: "Mr. Shen, I have also learned about the old affairs of the cities in Leitania. Could it be that the elector whom you killed was the lord of each city?" Well?"

"So what?"

"Sir, using iron-blooded methods to kill the lord of the city for reasons that don't care about worldly affairs, isn't it against benevolence and justice?"

"Does this gentleman think that the electors and others just don't care about worldly affairs?" Shen Muke shook his head and said:

"No, no. In the past, the elected emperors and others controlled the country's affairs, but they were sitting on the throne, seizing resources and not using them for the country. Finally, the tyranny of the Witch King came, and I killed all these windworms. Wouldn't it be happy? What's more, this The nobles are all thieves of the people, so what's the pity to kill them?"

Shen Muke looked at the ministers in front of him and finally said: "Letania and Dayan are very different in many ways. The so-called people's hearts and society are also different. However, there is no right or wrong in governing the world. As far as the country is concerned, , as long as the means are appropriate and the decree is reasonable, that’s the best!”

"What a suitable means and reasonable decree! What a great Shen Muke!"

The emperor couldn't hold himself back any longer. He ignored the eunuchs following him and strode to the front of the palace.

"Your Majesty, the war of words can be put to rest!"

"I have said it before, how can you break the back of a hero with the tricks of a child like you? Why don't you leave the banquet behind and leave quickly?"

The officials smiled bitterly, lowered their heads, and said to the emperor: "I'll leave."

The emperor waved his hands impatiently, while Shen Muke looked at the emperor and smiled without saying a word.

If I remember correctly, this emperor should be Longmen Wei Yanwu's jealous younger brother?

Hey, is he a strict wife?

Chapter 51 The Hidden Danger from the Eastern Kingdom

Seeing all the ministers present sighing and leaving the court with complex expressions, only the Taifu was left with a long sigh, stood up, walked up the long steps, and stood beside the emperor.

Seeing the Emperor sitting down, Shen Muke smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Long live His Majesty the Holy Emperor."

"Your Majesty Shen, you don't have to be polite. It's my subordinates who were lax in their duties, which made Lord Shen suffer this humiliation. I will definitely hold them accountable later."

Shen Muke shook his head and said, "How have I ever been humiliated? It would be better to say that I am in a very good mood and am about to congratulate His Majesty!"

"Oh? Lord Shen, why am I so happy?"

Shen Muke smiled, pointed to the outside of the palace and said: "Your Majesty, although all the princes in the palace have ridiculed me with their words, in the final analysis, they are afraid that your Majesty will be confused by me, an outsider. I am sincerely a minister of humerus, and all of your Majesty's subordinates are like this." Wouldn’t it be joy to wait for Zhongliang?”

"Oh? Hahahahahaha." The emperor smiled, picked up the wine glass, and said, "I used to think that Lord Shen, who was successful at a young age, would be a man of heroic appearance and live a carefree life. Now that I see him, Lord Shen is worthy of being a hero in the world!"

Shen Muke also picked up the wine glass and drank with the emperor.

After drinking a cup, Shen Muke smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I came all the way and brought many special products to your Majesty. However, the products of this small country are limited, and after all they are just some common things. However, I think that your Majesty is so benevolent that he should not care about the products of our small country. Isn’t it despicable?”

"Hey~" The emperor waved his hands repeatedly and said, "It's great that Lord Shen can come to our court and share our friendship with me. How can I care about mundane things? Where are the gifts? Can the Lord introduce them to me one by one?"

"All the gifts are placed outside the hall." Shen Muke replied.

"Come here, bring all the gifts brought by Lord Shen!"

several

The box was carried up by the attendant, and Shen Muke introduced it one by one.
