The establishment of the New Han Dynasty was different from the past. The largest power in the court was no longer aristocratic families.
Cao Cao had a clear understanding of the shortcomings of the Han Dynasty for many years. Under the influence of the natural changes, the aristocratic family declined to the extreme, and he promoted the children of poor families wantonly. Now the court has been firmly controlled by him.
Chu Feng followed the information provided by the waiter and rushed to the recruitment hall. Here, as long as you have the ability, you will be hired. This is a shortcut to promotion from a humble family.
"Look, there are people here again to eat and drink. All kinds of people want to come to the recruitment hall."
"Alas, the great calamity of heaven and earth is also a calamity for us scholars. I don't know what the King of Han thought, but he decided to set up this useless recruitment hall. Now all the princes in the court are mediocre people."
"Yes, our expertise as officials and herdsmen has always been ours, but now it has been stolen by those reckless people. How unfair is it."
"Keep your voice down, don't be overheard, you and I can just talk quietly."
Chu Feng suddenly heard a complaint coming from nearby. When he glanced around, he saw two young men dressed as scribes. They had mean faces and thin bodies, as if they could be blown away by a gust of wind.
He avoided it with some disgust and walked straight past the other person towards the hall.
"Who is here?" As soon as he entered the hall, an official in charge asked loudly.
"Mountain Taoist Chu Feng."
"Hey, the Taoist priest also came to the recruitment hall, he is quite courageous. What are your abilities, please tell me in detail?" the official asked out of curiosity.
"Know a little about the secrets of heaven"
"Pah!" the official slammed the table and shouted, "How brave are you? Where did you come from? How dare you talk about the world."
"Sir, there is no need to be angry. I am a reclusive Qi practitioner in Kunlun Mountain. I was lucky enough to escape with a small life when the natural disaster came, so naturally I will not come here to seek death.
I accidentally intercepted a hint of the secret and knew the reason for the change in the sky. I hid it in my heart day and night and had trouble sleeping and eating. Now I finally made up my mind to report it to the King of Han. I hope you will take the overall situation as the top priority." Chu Feng replied calmly.
The highest level of lies is that he himself believed them. In the past few days, he planned a set of rhetoric and continued to hypnotize himself, forcing him to believe that he was a Qi practitioner from Kunlun Mountain, risking his own life to come to see him for the sake of the safety of all sentient beings.
"Do you know the reason for the Heavenly Change?" The official stood up suddenly, and the expressions of all the officials in the hall changed. Just after the disaster, the Heavenly Change had become a taboo in everyone's hearts.
"I want to see the King of Han, and the reason must be told to the King in person. I hope you will help me." Chu Feng looked solemn, and he was completely immersed in the role.
The hall suddenly became eerily quiet. It took a long time before someone said, "Sir, I can't make the final decision on this matter. I'd better inform the King of Han."
call--
Everyone looked relaxed, including Chu Feng, but his expression remained unchanged, but his heart was a little throbbing, and he was just short of the last step.
Han Palace
Cao Cao looked at the report in his hand with a somewhat uncertain expression. A Taoist priest claimed to have intercepted the changes in the heavens and knew the cause of the changes. It doesn’t matter whether this is true or not. The key is what the other party’s intention is. Seeking fame, profit, or
Any ulterior motives?
"Has your Majesty made a decision?" The person who spoke was a young scribe with sharp eyes, but his body was a little thin.
"What do you think of Fengxiao?" Cao Cao did not answer, but asked instead.
"This person's origins are mysterious. It's okay to meet him. Why don't you go and test him first?"
"That's fine. Let's send someone to check his heels."
The Recruitment Hall was very close to the palace. Chu Feng knelt down on the side of the lobby and closed his eyes to meditate. Talking too much would lead to mistakes, so he did not talk to the officials present. They neither left nor stayed, and the atmosphere was a little stagnant for a while.
After waiting for more than an hour, Chu Feng finally waited for someone to arrive. Chu Feng turned around to look, but it was a young scholar. This man was a bit unusual. He was obviously wearing formal official uniform, but his expression was not solemn. He wore a delicate necklace on his waist.
After entering the hall, he waved his hand and ordered:
"Everyone, please go out. I want to have a good talk with this immortal."
Chu Feng's eyebrows jumped. This person gave him a strange feeling, like clouds in the sky, floating unsteadily. The other person sat down opposite him, without asking any questions, staring straight at him, his eyes suddenly became distracted.
It's so sharp, like a knife piercing your heart.
"Awesome, I feel like I've been seen through. If I hadn't been prepared, I might have been exposed right now." Chu Feng looked serious, completely ignoring the other person's gaze, and kept suggesting to himself in his mind:
"I am a Qi practitioner from Kunlun Mountain and a cultivator of immortality. All of you mortals are just followers of the mortal world and do not know the destiny of heaven."
"You are very mysterious!" Guo Jia suddenly said.
"Perhaps, I am just a seeker who is far away from the world of mortals. If it were not for a sudden change in the world, I would not have gone down the mountain." Chu Feng sighed, looking a little confused. This was not an act, he was somehow pulled into this game.
He is really confused about the future.
"I checked your information, and you suddenly appeared in Jinan County three days ago, dressed in strange clothes, and seemed to be unfamiliar with the world."
"I grew up in the mountains since I was a child. I have never been outside. I know very little about the outside world. I have only heard a few things from my master's mouth."
"Who is your master and what is your orthodoxy?" Guo Jia suddenly asked.
"My master is Master Daoxuan, and he inherits the Taoist tradition of Qingyun Sect." Chu Feng had already prepared a set of words and replied unhurriedly.
"Why is Master Daoxuan of Qingyun Sect not famous?" Guo Jia was startled and thought about it. He seemed to have never heard of such a person before.
"The hidden sect has not been exposed to the world, and it has not been in China for many years. You don't know about it."
The lobby was full of questions and answers, seemingly casual but full of traps. Although both of them were determined people, they were also a little tired at this time.
"You said you know the reason for the change in the sky, but really, can you let Jia hear it first?" Guo Jia suddenly changed his expression and asked seemingly casually.
"Sir, are you sure you want to listen?" Chu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and looked a little playful.
"Ahem, let's forget it. It's getting late today. Let the Immortal have a good rest. Your Majesty will make a decision tomorrow." Guo Jia stood up, bowed, and left.
"I have passed this level. I didn't expect to meet him. The famous genius Guo Jia is really difficult to deal with. This person is not dead, but I don't know if he will die young like in history."
The Talent Recruitment Hall treats talents very favorably. Since Chu Feng passed Guo Jia's 'interview', he is a talented person. The Hall not only provides him with good accommodation, delicious food, and beautiful maids. Such
I don’t know if the treatment is available to everyone, or if it was a trial specifically ordered by Guo Jia.
Chu Feng accepted all the food orders, but as for the maid, he had better forget it. He was comparable to Liu Xiahui that night.
The next morning, a carriage drove towards the recruitment hall, and Cao Cao personally ordered him to go to the pilgrimage hall.
The New Han Dynasty inherited the Han system, and the regulations and etiquette did not change much.
When Chu Feng stepped into the main hall, he couldn't help but arouse a sense of heroism in his heart. The tension he had just aroused suddenly disappeared. This was the last time he bet on his life. If he won, the sea and the sky would be brighter. If he lost, everything would be over. Just settle down.
He had never thought about living an ignoble life.
"Xuan, Kunlun Mountain Qi Refiner Chu Feng comes to see you"
In the main hall, civil and military personnel were separated, and everyone was whispering to each other.
The news about Chu Feng has already spread among the upper echelons. Everyone is very curious about this Kunlun Mountain Qi Master who claims to be able to intercept heavenly secrets. Whether he is a real immortal or a fake, they must find out today.
Now the officials and people of the entire New Han Dynasty firmly believe in the theory of immortals and gods, otherwise how could God bring such a huge disaster.
"Meet the king on the mountain trail." Chu Feng bowed his head and said loudly.
"I heard that you know how to intercept the secrets of heaven. May I ask what exactly this secret is? How to intercept it?" Cao Cao was nearly fifty years old, but he was in good health. When he spoke, his voice was loud and his tone revealed great majesty.
