Marrying a cultivator as a princess and recording her name on a jade certificate is against the will of heaven, and only Xu Mochen, who is responsible for the destiny of the country, can do it.
Xu Chengyan wants this kind of thing and this kind of result.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to set up a big picture, go round and round, and finally achieve Xu Mochen.
But Xu Mochen is not at a loss, and the damage to the national fortune caused by writing the jade ultimatum is not irreparable.
Xu Chengyan is willing to withdraw from the power of Qizhou and return it completely to the imperial court. As long as he manages it well in the later period, he will not worry about increasing the national destiny through this place.
To put it bluntly, although he is the emperor of unification on the surface, in fact the decree is only valid near the capital. There are multiple Qizhou, so the advantages naturally outweigh the disadvantages.
Xu Mochen leaned over with a smile: "That's more of my uncle's kindness. However, my uncle is always familiar with this Qizhou. There are some things that I need to take care of later."
No matter what, Prince Qi's Mansion is still a vassal on the stage, and many people will still go this way.
Xu Chengyan knew it well: "Your Majesty, I am already in my forties and have no heirs yet. I should pay more attention to the affairs of the boudoir in the future.
As for the government affairs of Qizhou, there are many capable people in the court, and I believe that Your Majesty can find the right candidate."
Xu Mochen would be even more satisfied with this.
However, looking at the emperor's uncle, it doesn't look like he is losing money. Why hasn't he given birth to a child for so long?
It seems that there are many restrictions between immortal cultivators and human beings who want to have children.
After all, with magic, sending space is not a problem.
These are all trivial matters, and Xu Mochen doesn't care about them.
Soon, people from Prince Qi's Mansion came to report that all the forces that originally belonged to the Wuji Sect in the mansion had been eliminated.
Xu Chengyan nodded. He had been a puppet prince for several years, and he was indeed a little tired of it.
After the matter was settled here, Xu Mochen and his party came to the prefect's mansion.
Matters in the Prefecture are relatively simple.
Immortal cultivators still have control over the intervention of the human race, and local officials outside the capital are basically not involved.
The prefect who committed the crime and his right-hand man were all greedy for the so-called "life-prolonging" elixirs of immortality cultivators, so they traded the old, weak, sick and disabled people in Qizhou.
After being brought up, everyone cried bitterly.
Some accuse of being coerced and induced in private.
Some shouted that they were deceived.
After all, these immortal cultivators did not tell them the actual situation. They only thought they were some alchemists and the like.
Some even came up with such bizarre reasons as "to eliminate undesirable people so that food can be used more effectively."
Xu Mochen shook his head, and Tang Derun waved his hand, and the embroiderer pulled them all down.
Their respective charges will be determined and dealt with after trial.
The next step is the key. Qizhou lost Prince Qi’s Mansion and the Prefect’s Mansion in one fell swoop, and its operating mechanism became deficient.
Li Bitong gave advice on this, saying that many of the second- and third-line officials in the Prefecture are descendants of the Li family in Qizhou, as well as other local people who are quite prestigious.
In recent years, when it comes to doing practical things, I am still the kind of person who is on the front line.
Xu Mochen asked these people to come up and asked some questions, and found that they actually had great ideas.
Rather than parachute a group of officials, it is better to promote a group of officials from these people according to local conditions.
For this reason, Xu Mochen handed over the matter to Li Bitong and Li Yihang.
If suitable candidates are available in the future, we will arrange for them to take up the position as soon as possible.
As an emperor, he cannot stay here for a long time.
This time, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was basically taken down. Just now, he received the resignations of several censors from Zhao Lingbo.
These are all immortal cultivators related to Wuji Sect Zhou Chengyun. They don’t need to resign, Mo Alliance will deal with them.
It’s time to arrange for one of your own to be the censor.
Hmm, you must be a great minister, not someone who knows how to ask me to open a harem every day.
Thinking about it, Xu Mochen couldn't help but turn his head and look at Zhao Lingbo.
Zhao Lingbo was writing and drawing, and seemed to feel his gaze. Zhao Lingbo glanced back and lowered his head.
Xu Mochen calculated that Zhao Lingbo could be considered a talented medical student, plus he had opened up a new world.
If you train well in the future, you will definitely be able to continuously unlock new postures.
The two people brought back this time are Li Bitong and Li Yihang, and they also need to be developed.
Here, Xu Mochen is dealing with the matter of returning to the DPRK, and of course there are people who are unwilling to be lonely.
Late at night, General Affairs Department.
There was only a small candle burning in the room.
In the flickering candlelight, a middle-aged man closed his eyes and tapped the table with the index and middle fingers of his right hand alternately.
In front of him, another young man looked very anxious and walked quickly around the room.
"This spiritual thought has been cut off for so long, why is there still no news?" The young man hit his palm with his right fist.
"Yu Heng," the middle-aged man remained motionless, "how come you are still so frizzy after so many years of practice?"
"Master," the young man took a few steps forward, "You have been working hard for this Nether Infant for more than a hundred years, and you are about to succeed. This sudden change..."
Listening, the middle-aged man couldn't help but secretly clenched his fists, but his tone was still gentle: "The journey of cultivating immortals is to fight with heaven and fight with heaven.
Sometimes, the fate of immortality is like this, no matter how great your supernatural power is, it will not help."
The young man was angry: "If we find out who interfered with this matter, I will definitely skin him and cramp him..."
While he was talking, suddenly a gust of cold wind blew through, and the candles in the room went out.
Outside the window, a little person jumped out, grinning. It was the Nether Infant that broke out of Zhou Chengyun’s body not long ago.
"Master!" The young people were surprised.
"Don't panic," the middle-aged man remained calm. He waved his hand and waved to the underworld infant, "Come here."
The underworld infant jumped and fell into the middle-aged man's arms, chirping.
The middle-aged man's consciousness swept away and he suddenly understood: "Sure enough, the fate of immortality is over, and there is still a little bit left. It only takes a few more years to become a complete underworld infant."
"What a pity. Master, does he know who did it?" The young man was filled with indignation.
"Ming Ying doesn't know clearly, but I can probably tell," the middle-aged man gently stroked Ming Ying, "I'm afraid this matter has something to do with the current Holy One."
The young man's expression turned aside: "Your Majesty? Did he use the destiny of the country?"
"The possibility is very high," the middle-aged man mused, "Zhou Chengyun died under the national fate, so it is not a loss. Fortunately, he prepared for the division early, otherwise there would be no result.
But this underworld infant is immature and I can’t give it to you yet.”
The young man clasped his fists and said, "This is not a surprise to me. Since I know it is the hand of the emperor, I will ask for instructions and go to Qizhou to kill the emperor tonight."
"Nonsense!" the middle-aged man scolded, "Just because he killed Zhou Chengyun does not mean that the country's destiny has been exhausted.
Besides, His Majesty has become inexplicable since Liu Yi’s incident, so it’s better to find someone to explore his depth first.”
He was silent for a while, then put Ming Ying away: "By the way, how is the matter of the Ministry of Rites organizing His Majesty's harem going?"
