There are many attendants and maids in Dasheng Palace, doing the work of serving the emperor and the royal family, but except for a small number of them who are soul slaves, most of them are cultivators of the imperial court, who are engaged in serving work, and the purpose is to obtain rewards.
Promotion.
Of course, they can't compete with royal family members like Du Xueqing who are qualified to compete for the throne and have high-grade spiritual roots, but as long as they work diligently and are appreciated by their masters, they can still get generous rewards.
The Dasheng royal family did not treat these attendants and maids as servants, but as members of their own power.
For example, the maids sent by Prince 62, Prince 256 and Princess 173 to guard Du Xueqing, although they are maids in name, they are also members of their forces.
As long as some maids and attendants from royal families with strong backgrounds satisfy their masters, they may even receive more resources and rewards than some less outstanding royal families who are qualified to compete for the throne.
Of course, most cultivators are still unwilling to be servants to others, or even willing to work for others.
Because what cultivators pursue is freedom.
If destiny forces me to do something contrary to heaven, let alone others.
Although cultivators who join the imperial court are already mentally prepared to a certain extent, if they choose, they will still give priority to joining the army, battlefield or other systems, completing tasks through meritorious deeds, and obtaining resources and rewards.
Although this is still working for the court, at least you have a certain degree of freedom, and everything you gain comes from your own efforts and does not rely on flattery and flattery, so you will feel very peaceful.
Those who become servants and maids of the Dasheng royal family, or those who work for others as thugs or other cultivators are those whose cultivation is not satisfactory, or whose potential is approaching, and it is difficult for them to make progress on their own, but they are unwilling to give up and continue to advance.
Therefore, they hold on to a glimmer of hope and engage in the work of serving the royal family or working hard, hoping to get the opportunity to continue to advance.
After all, the goal of a cultivator is to achieve advancement and breakthrough. As for how to achieve the goal, the process is not important.
Of course, they follow the royal family with power and background, so they have more opportunities to get ahead and the rewards they get will be bigger.
The royal family without strength and background cannot be recruited even if they want to. Just like Du Xueqing, who has no background and is not very strong. Her mother died young, so naturally she is alone. Chen Hao, the "confidant" who was finally cultivated, is actually still
The Tiandao Merit Tower forcibly implanted information into her.
There are many people who have achieved their goals. Even if they are not able to ascend successfully, they have become masters in the end, so there are many successors.
The royal family divided into several columns, climbed the steps, and filed into Tianji Hall.
After the last person entered, the palace door made a rumbling sound and closed automatically.
After entering Tianji Hall, everyone was divided into two square formations on the left and right according to the queue, and stood neatly.
In the center of the main hall is a platform with a radius of several meters. On the platform is a dragon chair with an exquisite shape and shining golden light.
In front of the dragon chair, there is a long, golden desk.
Under the dragon chair, a middle-aged attendant with a white face and no beard, wearing a court uniform of unknown rank, stood solemnly and expressionless.
After everyone stood up, the middle-aged attendant said loudly: "Welcome to the Emperor."
His voice was very high-pitched, and it was the same voice that had called for the start of the morning meeting.
"Why do the attendants in the Dasheng Dynasty also give people the feeling of eunuchs?"
Chen Hao was in Du Xueqing's shadow and thought to himself when he saw this.
When I think of the emperor, I think of eunuchs as a conditioned reflex. This has become standard.
All the royal family members bowed in unison: "Welcome to the Emperor."
Amid the shouts, a middle-aged man wearing a bright yellow dragon robe slowly walked out of the side hall, climbed onto the platform, and sat on the dragon chair.
Since everyone was hunched over, they didn't look at him.
Chen Hao naturally didn't have to do this, observing the middle-aged man in the shadows.
This is the current emperor of the Dasheng Dynasty, Emperor Xuanqing?
He looks unremarkable, just like an ordinary middle-aged man.
There is nothing majestic or majestic about his appearance, nothing out of the ordinary or eye-catching about him.
A pair of eyes with dense wrinkles at the corners, cloudy eyes and bloodshot eyes.
To ordinary monks, this is just a mortal.
But Chen Hao knows that Mahayana monks, who have returned to their original nature, may look like ordinary people, but in fact they no longer adhere to their superficial appearance, and their Dharma bodies and souls are integrated into one body. They can ascend and fly away as long as the heavenly calamity strikes them.
Emperor Xuanqing was a monk in the late Mahayana period. He was only one step away from reaching the peak, so he naturally looked more ordinary.
But in the ordinary, there is a hint of eternity, which seems to have been integrated into this world, becoming one and inseparable.
This is something only those who are in the Mahayana stage can see.
"It's really strong..." Chen Hao looked at Emperor Xuan Qing and secretly praised him.
With his current vision, coupled with the eye of illusion, he can see the clues at a glance no matter what he looks at.
But just now Chen Hao had observed Emperor Xuan Qing for a long time before he saw something truly extraordinary.
Emperor Xuanqing, under his ordinary appearance, was a blazing sun.
Just like a Kunpeng hidden under the endless sea water, as long as someone's eyes can penetrate the endless sea water, he can see his true body.
"If the teacher Tian Chenzi and Emperor Xuan Qing were compared, who would be stronger?"
Chen Hao compared Tian Chenzi in his memory with Emperor Xuan Qing in front of him.
In the end, Chen Hao still felt that Tian Chenzi was better.
Of course, this was because Tianchenzi was his teacher, and the other reason was that Emperor Xuanqing had not yet reached the peak of the late Mahayana period.
If this emperor reaches the peak of the late Mahayana period, he will definitely hide deeper and appear more powerful.
Just as he was thinking about it, Emperor Xuan Qing suddenly looked at him with a strange look in his eyes.
"I'll go..." Chen Hao was startled and no longer dared to visit the emperor with his false eyes, and hurriedly moved elsewhere.
I didn't expect that the emperor was so sensitive that he could detect even if he used the Eye of Falsehood in the shadows.
You must know that the ability to possess shadow can block the perception of Mahayana monks.
Of course, the premise is that you can't move.
As for the Eye of Falsehood, it is even more hidden.
Using the Eye of Illusion is just like seeing with the naked eye. It is difficult to attract other people's attention.
But using divine consciousness is not enough. Not to mention Mahayana monks, even monks at a few lower realms can easily feel the detection of divine consciousness.
Emperor Xuanqing was worthy of being a Mahayana emperor for being able to feel it so quickly.
Emperor Xuan Qing stared in the direction of Chen Hao for a while. A trace of doubt flashed deep in his eyes and he looked away.
"The court meeting has begun. Princes and princesses, please give me your invitation."
The middle-aged white-faced attendant spoke softly, not loudly, but could be heard clearly in the large hall.
