When Jiang Beiran explained the ins and outs of his ascension to the throne, Shi Fenglan said with disdain.
'Yeah, he's another one who looks down on the emperor.'
Shaking his head helplessly, Jiang Beiran glanced at Xiaoduo next to him, and suddenly asked curiously: "Xiaoduo, what did you think the emperor was like before joining the clan?"
Before entering Guixin Sect and becoming Shi Fenglan's maid, Xiaoduo was just a child from an ordinary family. Her understanding of the emperor should be more representative of the general public.
After hearing this, Xiaoduo recalled some things and replied: "My father told me when I was a child that the emperor was very happy. He ate white flour buns every meal and even used a pole made of gold to carry manure!"
Hearing this, Shi Fenglan laughed loudly and said: "Hahaha, Xiao Beiran, it turns out you are going to pick up dung, hahahaha."
Jiang Beiran could only sigh, lamenting that in a world without the Internet, it would be really easy for poverty to limit imagination.
But in fact, even in the 21st century, in a world where social networking is so developed, the happiness of rich people is still beyond the imagination of many people.
What's more, the people here have no information channels at all. The greatest happiness they can imagine is to have enough to eat every day.
Ignoring Shi Fenglan's laughter, Jiang Beiran continued to ask Xiaoduo: "Then before you joined the sect, who did you think was the most powerful in the world?"
"Of course it's Emperor Xuan."
"What about further down?"
"Xuan Sheng."
Knowing that Xiaoduo would definitely answer Xuan Zun if he continued to ask, Jiang Beiran asked in a different way: "Who taught you these?"
"Some of them were taught by my father, some were told to me by the village chief's grandpa, and some were heard from Mr. Barefoot."
"Then when was the first time you heard the title Emperor?"
"It's the first time..." Xiaoduo recalled again, "Oh, by the way, once the county magistrate came to our village to collect taxes. The village chief said something nice to the tax collector and asked him to give him a few days of grace, but the tax collector
But he kicked him out of the village, saying that he was working for the emperor, and if he dared to neglect him, everyone in your village would be beheaded."
Then Jiang Beiran asked a series of questions, finally understanding Xiaoduo's views on the emperor.
That is, the most powerful people in the world are cultivators. When you see a cultivator flying in the sky on the road, you will cheer for a while.
The village chief kept them fed, but the county magistrate robbed them of their money, and the money they robbed was said to be given to the emperor.
'Good guy, the emperor is a scapegoat.'
"So Xiaoduo, you should hate the emperor very much?"
Xiaoduo glanced at Jiang Beiran first, then nodded and said: "Everyone in the village hates the county magistrate and the emperor, but the village chief told us not to tell us, otherwise we will be beheaded."
After asking this question, Jiang Beiran finally came to a conclusion.
That is, the common people are still afraid of the emperor. Although this should be a normal thing, Jiang Beiran was stunned by Guan Shian's attitude just now and lost his confidence.
After asking Xiao Duo, Jiang Beiran looked at Shi Fenglan who was still smiling and asked: "What about you, what do you think the emperor is like?"
But Shi Fenglan did not answer immediately after hearing this. Instead, she wanted to imitate the action of picking up feces. However, after recalling it, Shi Fenglan found that she had no information about picking up feces in her head.
So she raised her head and asked: "Xiao Beiran, how do you pick out big excrement?"
'The young ladies of this era are really lacking in basic common sense...'
Shi Fenglan was obviously born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Having never done any work on her own, it is quite normal for her to not know how to pick up shit.
However, Jiang Beiran did not intend to answer her boring question, but continued to ask: "Answer my question first."
"Emperor..." Shi Fenglan pouted and thought for a while, "Don't worry about the common people."
"Can I control you?"
"He dares!"
'Perfect.'
It was simple and easy to understand. Jiang Beiran found his position right away. Although it was similar to what he imagined, he felt it was a little more specific.
Seeing Jiang Beiran thinking about something, Shi Fenglan took his arm and said, "Don't go, the emperor is really boring."
"This is a task given to me by the sect master, I have to go."
"Okay~ How long will you be the emperor? When will you come back?"
Hearing this question that shattered his own views, Jiang Beiran replied: "Once you become an emperor, you will always be an emperor."
"Ah!?" Shi Fenglan was surprised, "Are you going to do it for the rest of your life?"
"Yes, for the rest of my life."
"That won't work! How can the sect master give you such a task? I'll go to him to argue!"
Grabbing Shi Fenglan who was about to rush out, Jiang Beiran said: "Don't make trouble, wait until I don't want to be you and then go and make peace with the sect leader."
"That's okay." Shi Fenglan nodded, "But if you become the emperor, can you still gamble with me every day?"
"I will have to wait until I go to the palace and become the emperor to find out."
"Really, why would the sect master leave such a troublesome matter to you?"
"Occasionally I have to do some serious business. Anyway, when I get there and find out the situation, I will write to you and leave first."
Hearing that Xiao Beiran would write to herself this time, Shi Fenglan suddenly became happy again: "Then you should write to me quickly."
"Don't worry." After Jiang Beiran said that, he opened the door and left.
Before going to Tianyun Peak, Jiang Beiran thought about whether to tell Qingce and the others, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. After all, he himself didn't know what would happen after going to the palace.
'Let's talk about it later.'
When they returned to Tianyun Peak, the banquet was over and Guan Shian had been sent to his room to rest by Moman. Only Lu Yinlong was still standing in the main hall waiting for Jiang Beiran.
"Sect Master." Jiang Beiran stepped forward and saluted.
Nodding, Lu Yinlong replied: "Everything is packed?"
"Reporting to the sect master, the incident happened too suddenly. In such a hurry... I don't know what to do."
Lu Yinlong chuckled after hearing this, "If you really don't want to, I will help you talk to Sect Master Guan and let him choose someone else."
When Jiang Beiran heard it, he knew it was a polite word. Facing Guan Shian, it was barely acceptable to refuse at first, but it would be a slap in the face if he regretted it later.
So Jiang Beiran cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, sect master, for your love. However, I also want to contribute to the people of Fengzhou and the Guixin Sect."
Lu Yinlong couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth when he heard it: "It's good to have this heart, but I'm afraid the court is not as simple as you think. You should take care of yourself first."
Jiang Beiran felt inexplicably relieved to hear that his sect master didn't seem to be as "novice" as Guan Shi'an.
"This disciple must go all out, but as long as he can remember, he has never been exposed to court affairs, and he is indeed a little unsure in his heart."
"Haha, don't worry, Guixin Sect will always be your backer. Although the court is not simple, no one will dare to harm you. Just learn slowly, but there is one thing you must pay attention to."
Hearing Lu Yinlong's sudden stop, Jiang Beiran lowered his head and asked in cooperation.
"Please give me some advice, sect master."
"Stay neutral and don't favor any party. At least you don't have the capital yet."
'sure.'
Jiang Beiran almost clapped his hands, but Jiang Beiran had discovered before that Lu Yinlong looked like a reckless sect leader, but he actually had a plan in doing things. This could be seen from Shi Fenglan.
Although he only gets a little ahead of himself when he is protecting a calf, this is definitely an excellent quality of a sect leader.
With emotion in his heart, Jiang Beiran nodded heavily and said, "Disciple, please remember the patriarch's teachings."
"I have nothing more to say to you. I have never been interested in the position of Emperor of Sheng Kingdom, but..." Lu Yinlong looked Jiang Beiran over as he spoke: "I think things will change in the future.
.”
Lu Yinlong's words struck Jiang Beiran as quite interesting.
After all, it was because a disciple of the Guixin Sect became the emperor that he had to change...
'Or does the sect master think that after I become emperor... I will bring changes to the entire Sheng Kingdom?'
Looking at Lu Yinlong's meaningful eyes, Jiang Beiran felt as if he was meeting this sect leader for the first time.
This reminded him of his views on this sect leader after he knew Shi Fenglan.
'The sect leader also hides it very deeply...I like it.'
The two of them chatted like this until dawn, until Guan Shian, who had had a good night's sleep, came to the main hall.
"Greetings to Sect Leader Guan." Jiang Beiran looked at Guan Shi'an and saluted.
Guan Shi'an nodded, then looked at Lu Yinlong and said, "Brother Lu Xian, you haven't slept all night? It seems that you really can't let go of your disciple, hahaha."
Lu Yinlong laughed and said, "Bei Ran is my proud disciple of Gui Xin Sect, so naturally I can't bear to part with him."
"Oh, he is just an emperor. No matter how big the deal, everything has been arranged. He can come back at any time when he has free time."
After a few more pleasantries, Guan Shian patted Jiang Beiran on the shoulder and said, "Have everything been packed?"
“I didn’t know what to pack in a hurry.”
"It's okay, it's okay. I've prepared everything for you there. If you're missing anything, you can just ask for it."
"yes."
"Then let's set off. The palace is waiting for you."
‘It was really clearly arranged…’
After bidding farewell to Lu Yinlong, Jiang Beiran took the shuttle prepared for him by Guan Shi'an and came all the way to Yunzhou County.
The imperial palace is located in Ningdu, this county.
When he landed on the ground, Jiang Beiran suddenly had another idea, that is, although the speed of information transmission in this era is not so fast, the way of movement is not slower than in the 21st century. No, even an airplane cannot compare with the flight of a practitioner.
speed.
This difference will also make him a very different emperor. At least he can go out for private visits in the morning and come back in the evening, which is very convenient.
Arriving in front of the palace in Ningdu, Jiang Beiran didn't have time to appreciate the majesty of the palace when he saw another familiar big shot coming in front of him.
It is Yin Jianghong.
'I have to say...these two big shots are really role model bosses, they do everything themselves.'
However, Fengzhou is in a stage of change, and these two big guys should really pay attention. After all, they can only practice well if they have internal stability. Otherwise, it would be too uncomfortable to retreat and find that their sect is gone.
"I knew you would come."
As soon as she saw Jiang Beiran, Yin Jianghong grinned.
After hearing this, Guan Shian immediately became unhappy, "I found him, why do you act like this? Are you shameless?"
'Sect Master Guan, something is really wrong with you...'
Jiang Beiran discovered that Guan Shian had been completely sidetracked by Yin Jianghong, and his speech had lost its common style.
"Didn't I come up with this idea?" Yin Jianghong looked at Guan Shi'an and asked.
"What's the use of just coming up with ideas? If I hadn't taken action myself, how could Mr. Jiang be here?" After Guan Shi'an finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Beiran.
Jiang Beiran also cooperated and cupped his hands and said: "Yes, if it weren't for Sect Master Guan's words that made me wake up, I would still be living in confusion."
Nodding with satisfaction, Guan Shi'an laughed and said: "You are the best piece of rough jade I have ever seen, but I didn't put it in the right place before. Now this Ningdu is where you can show off your talents. I believe you will not let it go."
I am disappointed."
"Juniors must try their best."
Yin Jianghong on the side couldn't help but said after hearing this: "Okay, that's really hard work for you, Sect Master Guan. Leave the rest to me."
After nodding with satisfaction again, Guan Shi'an said: "Okay, then I'll leave the next thing to you. I'll go to Mengjiao to have a look and complete the last step."
"In this case, it will be a hard work for Sect Leader Guan." Yin Jianghong said, cupping his hands towards Guan Shi'an.
"Don't be disgusted with me. I'm doing this for my own integrity and prosperity, and I'm not working hard for you. I want you to show some courtesy." After saying that, he turned around and left in the air.
When Guan Shian disappeared from sight, Yin Jianghong smiled and said to Jiang Beiran, "Are you scared by old man Guan's ignorance?"
Jiang Beiran was stunned after hearing this, then raised his hands and said, "I wonder what Master Yin said?"
"Stop pretending in front of me. That old man Guan doesn't know anything about the importance of the emperor's position. He's a reckless man. If he wasn't worried that my sudden visit to Guixin Sect would arouse the wariness of your Sect Master Lu, how could I
Let him call you."
Sure enough... Just as Jiang Beiran thought before, Yin Jianghong knows much more about this matter than Guan Shian.
However, it was impossible for Jiang Beiran to really say it, so he still held his hands and said: "It was Sect Leader Guan who persuaded this junior. This is true."
"Still so naughty, good, keep it up."
After saying that, Yin Jianghong asked: "Tell me, what are you going to do as the first step after becoming the emperor?"
Jiang Beiran shook his head: "This junior has never been exposed to court matters. I only know that I have a lot to learn."
