Chapter 163 Leaving the Hometown and Going to the Royal City
"If this happens, wait until our family goes to the royal city and settle down, and then find an opportunity to bother the King of Tang!"
Chu Feng thought for a while and pondered.
According to his original intention, he did not want to go to the Tang Dynasty Palace, after all, the water was deep.
But now that his father is going to the royal city to serve as the commander, he must also go to the royal city. Since that is the case, then go to meet the Tang King to leave a meeting and sign in at the palace to see if he can get any good things.
"Okay, then the king and I will wait for Elder Chu to arrive in the palace!"
Eunuch Li smiled.
Next, everyone chatted for a few more words, and then Eunuch Li left.
After Eunuch Li left, Tang Chen came to Chu Zhan and congratulated him: "Congratulations to Lord Chu for being promoted to the position of commander of the royal city. Chu Zheng, what did I say before? With Lord Chu's ability, being the deputy governor of Dongjun is definitely a talent!"
"The Sixth Prince said, Lord Chu, congratulations, maybe you will rely on you in the future!"
Chu Zheng clasped his fists and congratulated Chu Zhan.
"Sixth Prince, Lord Chu is polite."
"Everyone understands. I can be promoted to the commander of the royal city by the king because my son Chu Feng is the elder of the Shushan Sword Sect, not because I have outstanding abilities!"
Chu Zhan said humbly that he was still self-aware. If it weren't for Chu Feng, he wouldn't have been promoted to the commander of the royal city, nor would he have been treated kindly by Tang Chen and Chu Zheng.
"Mr. Chu is humble. It is your ability to give birth to such a promising son with Mrs. Chu."
Tang Chen smiled.
"What the Sixth Prince said is reasonable, Lord Chu is not too modest."
Chu Zheng also flattered.
"I heard from you that, it seems like this. If it weren't for me, there would be no Chu Feng."
After Chu Zhan was flattered, he also shamelessly attributed the credit to him.
When Chu Feng, who was standing beside him, rolled his eyes secretly when he heard this.
This old man really takes himself seriously.
...
Not long after Eunuch Li left, the officials of Qingcheng learned from somewhere that they knew that Chu Zhan was promoted to the commander of the royal city by the King of Tang, and that the next lord of Qingcheng was also selected by Chu Zhan. They immediately brought gifts and visited the Chu Mansion one after another. The number of officials almost broke the threshold of the Chu Mansion.
How could Chu Zhan not know about the thoughts of these officials? It was false to congratulate them, and it was true to be the position of the Lord of Qingcheng City.
Although Qingcheng is just a small place, there are many people in the city. The candidate for the Qingcheng City Lord must love the people, otherwise the people in the city will suffer. Therefore, Chu Zhan is very cautious in choosing the next candidate for the Qingcheng City Lord.
Of course, Chu Zhan accepted all the gifts given by Qingcheng officials. Anyway, it would be useless to take them if they didn’t take them!
In addition to Qingcheng, other city lords from neighboring counties also learned that Chu Zhan was promoted to the commander of the royal city. They sent people to congratulate him. Unlike Qingcheng officials, they sent people to come mainly to get along with Chu Zhan, rather than to make the position of Qingcheng City Lord.
In addition to congratulations, they were also very curious about why the ordinary Chu Zhan was suddenly promoted to the commander of the royal city by the King of Tang.
Obviously, they didn't know that everything was because of Chu Feng, and it was not their fault. Chu Feng was the elder of the Shushan Sword Sect, and only a few people in the entire Tang Dynasty knew about it.
Time flies, and it will take five days.
During these five days, Chu Zhan also selected the lord of Qingcheng City, an official with a high reputation in Qingcheng. Of course, this official gave Chu Zhan a lot of gifts.
But after all, Chu Zhan chose him as the lord of Qingcheng because of his behavior and good reputation.
"Madam, I'm really reluctant to leave this place I've taken for many years!"
In front of the Chu Mansion, Chu Zhan looked at the Chu Mansion with a reluctance on his face.
"Who said no, the little things in this Chu Mansion are still vivid in my mind."
Tang Yu looked at the vermilion door frame of the Chu Mansion, and the look of memories surged on his face.
Chu Feng, who was beside him, had a calm expression and was reluctant to leave. After all, he had been away from home for a long time, and his days in the Chu Mansion would not exceed twenty days at most. In this case, he naturally would not have too much concern.
"Master, Madam, if you have time in the future, we can also come back and have a look."
"I have arranged people and I will clean the Chu Mansion every day."
The butler comforted him while leading the carriage to Chu Zhan and Tang Yu.
With Chu Zhan and his team's strength, they naturally could reach the Tang Dynasty's Royal City faster with their own strength. However, this time, Chu Zhan was working in the royal city, so there was no need to rush to rush, so he naturally had to take a carriage to the royal city and enjoy the scenery along the way.
Besides, there are still some servants in the Chu Mansion, so it doesn’t matter if Chu Zhan and the others arrive at the royal city first.
"Well, that's right, come back and have a look when you have the chance in the future."
Chu Zhan, Tang Yu took a look at the Chu Mansion again, and got on the carriage. Chu Feng's figure flashed and he also entered the carriage.
When everything was ready, the carriage headed towards the royal city and passed by the gate of Qingcheng City, many Qingcheng officials saw him off.
"I really envy Lord Chu. If you can go to the royal city to be the commander, then that's under the emperor's feet!"
"Who said no? Why did Lord Chu be lucky? In addition to being the commander of the royal city, he also made friends with the governor of Dongjun County and the six princes?"
"I don't know, but it would be great if I could be as lucky as Lord Chu!"
"You are the only one? You don't even urinate and look at yourself. With your short figure, how can you have good luck!"
Five short-body official, "I am just stunted if I don't attack this life!"
"Huh!"
As soon as the five-small official said this, he was immediately despised by other officials in Qingcheng!
It’s really shameless. There are several children, and they even say that they are slow to develop!
...
Just as Chu Zhan and others were heading to the royal city, the news that Chu Zhan took office as the commander of the royal city also spread throughout the royal city.
"Who is Chu Zhan? Have you heard of it?"
"I haven't heard of this person!"
"Since he is an unknown junior, after he comes to the royal city, he will definitely give him some advice!"
"Take a warning? Are you sure? Don't blame me for not reminding you. According to the information I found, Chu Zhan has had a good relationship with Chu Zheng, the governor of Dongjun County, and the sixth prince Tang Chen!"
"What? Chu Zhan actually has such great ability to be close to Chu Zheng and the Sixth Prince?"
The prince and minister who had previously shouted that he would give Chu Zhan a mighty move and said in surprise.
"Haha, this is nothing. Do you know who was the one who went to Qingcheng to read the imperial edict?"
"I heard you say that, aren't you an official of the Ministry of Personnel?"
"This is nothing nonsense. If the officials of the Ministry of Personnel who read the imperial edict were officials, would I still ask this?"
"Stop keeping it a secret. Who was the one who went to Qingcheng to read the imperial edict?"
"It's the king's personal eunuch, Eunuch Li!"
"What? It's Eunuch Li? So, the king also values this Chu Zhan very much?"
"Of course! If you don't take it seriously, how could you let Eunuch Li go? Do you still want to give this Lord Chu a warning now?"
"Bah, you heard it wrong. What I just said was to welcome him, not to show off my power!"
The princes and ministers who had just shouted that they were invincible to Chu Zhan spoke righteously.
Other princes and ministers:???
There were ten thousand grass and mud horses swelling in their hearts. They had seen shameless people, but never seen such shameless people!
