When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he did not immediately agree because of the eunuch's attitude.
It is not difficult to judge from the previous words that the current capital is a place where dragons and snakes are mixed, with various forces criss-crossing each other, including ghosts, monsters, gods, Buddhas and princes.
After all, it is the place that dominates the country, 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 earth?
Li Xiuyuan thinks it's mostly the latter.
"The Imperial Master wants me to enter the capital? Is this his intention or the emperor's?" Li Xiuyuan pondered for a while and then slowly asked.
The fat eunuch who was kneeling on the ground raised his head and said sincerely: "The ancestors once said that the only people who can rule the world are the saints from the south."
Li Xiuyuan said slowly: "Fruit farmers have been planting fruit trees all their lives, and the fruits they bear are not necessarily their own. How do I know that the Imperial Master is not taking advantage of me?"
The fat eunuch was speechless, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. He didn't know how to answer.
"Aren't you here to announce the edict on behalf of the imperial court this time? Where is the edict?" Li Xiuyuan suddenly said again: "Bring it out and let me have a look."
"Yes." The fat eunuch stood up respectfully, then turned back to the room and took out a brocade box.
Li Xiuyuan stretched out his hand to grab it from the distance, intending to use the Star Reaching Technique to get it, but he saw an imperial energy covering the brocade box, tumbling and undulating, like the mountains and rivers of Jiuzhou, which could suppress ghosts, gods and monsters.
"The emperor's imperial edict is indeed extraordinary. It represents orthodoxy and the country. Every word and deed is blessed by the destiny of the country. It is just like the divine order in the heavenly palace. One represents the sky and the other represents the earth." His eyes were golden.
A flash.
The brocade box containing the imperial edict cracked instantly, and the imperial edict immediately flew out from inside and fell into his hands.
"It's just that the fate of the country is declining, and a piece of imperial edict is not as heavy as imagined." Li Xiuyuan held the imperial edict in his hand and opened it.
The handwriting on it is straight and straight, meticulous, and angular. You can tell at a glance that it was written by a top calligrapher, and the emperor's seal is stamped on the corner of the imperial edict.
However, he was ordered by heaven to live long and prosperous.
The Chuanguo Jade Seal is only used on special occasions, such as offering sacrifices to heaven and praying for blessings. It is not used when issuing government decrees, because the Chuanguo Jade Seal is only a symbol of the emperor and represents orthodoxy.
Li Xiuyuan glanced at the contents of the imperial edict quickly.
"The imperial court appointed me the governor of Yangzhou, leading the civil, administrative and military preparations of Yangzhou. Do I have the power to recommend and remove officials?" His expression moved slightly, and he was a little surprised. As for the BMW, jade belt, gold and silver, and silk and satin that were rewarded later, he didn't even look at it.
.
The governor of Yangzhou~!
Li Xiuyuan murmured softly.
Such a position is not low. In the prosperous dynasty, it was equivalent to a minister of the border. When the dynasty was in decline, it was equivalent to the level of a prince. Of course, in terms of rank, it was not as high as a prince, but in terms of
In terms of power, it is higher than that of a prince.
As for the subsequent power of removal, it only removes officials below the seventh rank.
In other words, he can remove officials below the county magistrate.
However, he has the power of recommendation instead, and he can replace any county magistrate in Yangzhou.
"Is this the benefit of a national master?" Li Xiuyuan shook the imperial edict in his hand and asked.
The fat eunuch didn't dare to say anything. The human saint in front of him was on the same level as the ancestor. How could he dare to say nonsense with such a little bit of Taoism?
"Sir, isn't this a good thing? The governor of Yanzhou, this is a very big official. The Nu family remembers that a clan sister once joined a governor's house as a concubine and successfully avoided the disaster. Unfortunately, she later became pregnant and gave birth to a child.
, revealed his true colors and was killed by the heartless governor." Third Sister Hu said, looking a little sad.
Li Xiuyuan said: "It is indeed a good thing to be an official, but after taking over the position of Yangzhou Governor, according to imperial law, I have to go to Beijing to report on my duties. In other words, if I want to be Yangzhou Governor, I have to go to the capital.
, otherwise I won’t be able to do this job, so I have to go to the capital.
Yes, right? This is your Majesty the Envoy?"
As he spoke, he looked at the eunuch in front of him.
The fat eunuch still remained silent, just lying on the ground in fear.
"I can guess it without telling you. There is no free lunch in the world. I solved the danger of Jinling City and defeated the King of Nine Mountains. For a guerrilla general, I am lucky to be promoted to the rank of general. But I can be promoted to the rank of commander-in-chief."
Ascending the position of governor of Yangzhou, it can be seen that the merits are not underestimated. I believe that this person is above the court.
The Imperial Master must have contributed a lot. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to get this position." Li Xiuyuan said.
Third Sister Hu thought for a while and said: "Then the young master should go or not? Wouldn't the higher the position make it easier for the young master to do things?"
Li Xiuyuan also began to ponder.
According to his previous plan, he would take the imperial examination and pass the top three in the imperial examination within a year, and then be released as an official. He would first govern the world's ghosts and gods, and then use the power of ghosts and gods to govern the officials.
Avoid fights between courts.
Because he knew that his character was not suitable for being an official, and he did not want to wade into such muddy waters.
However, the plan changed and the Nine Mountain Kings rebelled. The Dongyue Divine Lord sent Yang Biao down to earth to take advantage of the rebellion to plot and kill himself. He had no choice but to raise an army to put down the rebellion, which led to the current situation.
"You are right. Once I get the position of governor of Yangzhou, I can manage Yangzhou within a year. In this way, nine states in the world will be settled. Once Yangzhou is stabilized, I will use this as the cornerstone to stabilize the world. It is not possible to complete my own ideas in my lifetime.
It's difficult." Li Xiuyuan stood up, stood with his hands behind his hands and looked at
Outside the window.
"But now that I am entering the capital, I am worried that I will get involved in the fight too early and my plan will fail. After all, the water in the capital is too deep."
Having said this, he actually still had a hesitation in his mind.
So what exactly does this national master want to do?
The moral conduct of the Imperial Preceptor has reached a very terrifying level. There are very few things in the world that he cannot accomplish. However, why would such a spirit choose to sneak into the court and control the government?
This is not good for him.
A thousand-year-old demon, a centuries-old dynasty.
The change of dynasties is a law of history. There are spirits who benefit from the change of dynasties, but no spirits will get involved in the disputes caused by the change of dynasties.
Third Sister Hu said that Emperor Tang Ming visited the Moon Palace, but no one knew who introduced Emperor Tang Ming to the Moon Palace. The expert disappeared.
Because the Taoist had already received the benefits of the reward from Emperor Tang Ming and retired after his success.
She also said that Zhang Sengyao painted pictures of dragons and horses, but Zhang Sengyao's painting skills were passed down through the ages, and he himself was just an ordinary official with no special achievements.
Li Bai, the Immortal Poet, wrote poems all his life, but he only took time off from his duties to write poems for the emperor's entertainment.
Why?
They also dare not get involved in the catastrophe of dynasty change.
However, this national master went against the grain and risked his own life. This was definitely not in line with the spirit of spiritual practice.
Li Xiuyuan couldn't figure out what the plot was.
It was precisely because he could not figure it out that he was not sure whether the Imperial Master was an enemy or a friend, and that was why he felt fearful.
At their level, personal grudges no longer matter, the most important thing is: Tao.
Li Xiuyuan wanted to complete his path to the world, so he killed some ghosts and gods that should not have been killed, even though there was no grudge between them.
After thinking for a while.
He made up his mind.
Since the road to the imperial examination is no longer possible, why not take this opportunity to rise to the top? As for whether the water depth in the capital is good or not, that is a matter for later.
Even the Dongyue Divine Lord in the sky can conquer the mortal world, so what difficulties in the world can stop him from moving forward?
Since the road is at your feet, you cannot stop.
Immediately, Li Xiuyuan turned around and said: "I have accepted this imperial edict and will go north to Beijing to report on my duties soon. Although the Imperial Preceptor is relieved, there are ugly rumors ahead. The Imperial Preceptor wants to lure me to Beijing to help him. This is just
It's just wishful thinking. I didn't agree. What will happen after entering Beijing?
Changes are not something I can control. He has his own plans, and I have my own approach."
"Yes, I will report Master Li's words to the ancestor." The fat eunuch said.
Li Xiuyuan nodded and strode away with the imperial edict.
"I have one more thing to ask Mr. Li for help. The imperial court has urged me to send Fu Tianchou, the Minister of War, to the capital." The eunuch said hurriedly.
"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 fat eunuch and the centipede spirit next to him, who had practiced Taoism for three hundred years, breathed a sigh of relief.
It feels like walking on the edge of life and death.
"A saint cannot be bullied. His majesty is so powerful. The saint in the south is indeed worthy of his reputation."
The shriveled human skin next to him quickly replenished and turned into an emaciated eunuch, and then he said with some fear: "What on earth is that big rooster next to him? I was so scared that I didn't dare to move just because it was staring at me.
.”
"I can't see through it either. It seems like there is a way, but it doesn't seem to be there, but it is extraordinary. How can there be ordinary things around a saint in the world? You and I have been shut up for the past few days, don't think that there is anything out there.
Once we get to the capital, we can do whatever we want. I'm sure that if we did anything wrong in Yangzhou,
If we do anything serious, we will definitely be punished, and even our ancestors can’t protect us." The fat eunuch said seriously.
"Before, I felt that there were ghosts and gods peeping at us. It was the magic of the divine eye. I could only detect it with my Taoism, but I couldn't tell that it was the ghosts and gods who were casting the spell. I had long heard that the saint on earth had already achieved great success in Yangzhou, and he had unified the ghosts and gods from all directions, and all the underworld.
King, tens of thousands of Yin soldiers, it seems that there are still some things to hide now, nor
I know the ancestor heard this and asked whether it is good or bad to invite the saint to the capital."
When the centipede spirit, who had practiced Taoism for three hundred years, heard this, his face showed a look of awe and fear, and his body couldn't help but shrink, and he really didn't even dare to go out.
He also wanted to take a good supplement after leaving the capital this time to increase his moral character, but now it seems that he can only think about it in his dreams.
