Volume II Fengqi Anxi House Chapter 179 The New Emperor Appears
"Get down!"
Prefect Xu waved his hand.
Wang Xian Cheng's master quickly bowed and retreated.
After opening the secret letter and seeing the words on it, Prefect Xu was furious the next second, "Trash, a bunch of trash! There are so many warriors, not even an eighth-level martial artist and a monster can't deal with them."
This group of people was sent by Prefect Xu, and they can be considered the elite of his men.
In Anxi Mansion, he is definitely considered to have strong combat power.
What I didn't expect was that not even a single hair on Lu Jiuzhang was hurt!
This was somewhat beyond Xu Taishou's expectation.
"Sir, the other party also sent a message." The boy said, "Because the great scholar Xu Master is involved, we cannot leave any handwriting in writing, as it will be easily noticed by Master Xu."
Once you reach the level of Great Confucianism, you already have many mysterious and unpredictable abilities.
Write his name and code number on the paper, and the other party will notice it.
As soon as he said it, he didn't have many worries.
"Oh? Master Xu?" Xu Taishou asked, "What's the matter?"
"Then Lu Jiuzhang is a disciple of the great Confucian Master Xu." The young man reported, "Director Xu of the Demon Slaying Department intends to win over Lu Jiuzhang."
Originally Director Xu was leaning towards Prefect Xu.
The two of them are of the same race and have the same interests. It can be said that one is prosperous and the other suffers.
But now, Director Xu is somewhat leaning towards the great scholar Xu Master.
"Stupid! Does he think that if he helps Master Xu's disciples, Master Xu will help him?" Xu Taishou sneered, "Master Xu, outsiders say he is upright, but in my opinion, he is nothing more than selfish.
That’s all.”
"I don't want to help even my clan members, how can I help him?"
"What about Master Xu's disciples? If they die, they will die. Didn't Master Xu claim that he would not interfere in the internal affairs of the Zhou Dynasty? If I don't believe him, he still dares to come to Anxi Mansion to trouble me?"
Recalling what happened last time, Prefect Xu is still very angry even now.
What I originally wanted was to rely on Master Xu and compete for the position of county guard, but I didn't expect that Master Xu would not save any face for himself.
"Tell Director Xu that the action will continue as before." Xu Taishou shouted, "So what if he is Master Xu's disciple? If he died in the mountains of northern Xinjiang, could Master Xu still cause trouble for him?"
"Even if we really knew that he was the one who killed him, what would happen? Could it be that Master Xu could still come from Jingzhao Mansion and kill him?"
Although Master Xu is of the first rank, he has no real power.
The director of the Fucheng Demon Slaying Department also has an official position.
As a superior, he would kill his subordinates arbitrarily. As long as Master Xu dared to do it, Prefect Xu would dare to find a way to join him.
The governor of Anxi Mansion can present the certificate directly to the new emperor.
"Understood! I'm going to tell the spy now and ask him to convey the master's words to Director Xu."
The subordinate nodded.
…
Jingzhao Mansion, Imperial City.
Among the pavilions and pavilions, the crane was flying in the mist and dancing in the air.
In the small pavilion, tea and cakes were placed on the table, and several excellent-looking slaves were waiting for them.
The great scholar Xu Shi stood beside the pavilion, looking to the north.
Before, his heart was shaken and pulled by something.
The direction of the pulling was coming from the north, and it seemed to be related to his little apprentice.
Interesting, I wonder what that little guy did again.
"Teacher Yaxing!"
Suddenly, a voice sounded outside.
I saw a man in rich clothes and a golden hair crown walking over.
She had a white jade belt wrapped around her waist, and her purple-gold robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon was dragged to the ground. She had an aura of calmness and authority.
"Greetings to the Holy One!"
Master Xu quickly bowed and said respectfully.
"Teacher, there is no need to be polite." The new emperor waved his hand and saw Master Xu looking northward, so he couldn't help but ask, "Master Xu is looking north. Could it be that he misses his hometown again?"
"As we get older, our homesickness becomes more intense." Master Xu said with emotion, "I went back to my hometown in Anxi Prefecture some time ago. When I left home when I was young, my elder brother returned home. The local pronunciation has not changed and my hair on my temples has faded."
"Old friends are dying one after another, and there are not many people we know well anymore."
The feeling of homesickness is not my hometown in the true sense, but the memories of my childhood in my hometown.
Unfortunately, there is no going back.
"Master Xu, don't worry. I have said that from now on, this Jingzhao Mansion will be Master Xu's hometown. This huge imperial city will be Master Xu's home." The new emperor said slowly, "If I die, Master Xu can follow me."
I will enter the Ancestral Temple together and enjoy the sacrifices of generations to come."
It is a great honor for civil servants and military officers to enter the Ancestral Temple.
I don’t know how many people broke their heads and wanted to enter the Ancestral Temple.
"I am terrified!"
Master Xu hurriedly bowed his hands and declined, "In comparison with governing the world, Prime Minister Zhang Jing managed the canal, managed the government affairs, and pacified the famine in Yu County in the south. He can be called a wise prime minister through the ages. When it comes to opening up territories and expanding territory, the mighty Anbei General Wang Kuo conquered ten battles in three years.
With a territory of thousands of miles, he quelled the chaos in the northern part of the Great Wall, and he is worthy of leaving a place in the history of military generals."
"These two people are worthy of enjoying the Imperial Ancestral Temple. I am just a scholar. How can He De be ranked with Zhang Xianxiang and General Wang?"
Hearing this, the new emperor laughed loudly, "Teacher is still as humble as ever, so this matter will no longer be discussed. However, there are many factions in the court, and the party struggle is not conducive to the implementation of the new policy."
"I want the teacher to enter the Supervisory Yuan and supervise all officials."
"Teacher, please don't refuse. I have only just ascended the throne and there are not many trustworthy people around me. If even the teacher is not willing to help me, how can I govern the world?"
I have already declined once, and if I decline again, the new emperor may be really angry.
The new emperor also has a lot of thoughts.
Knowing that he would refuse the offer of enjoying the Ancestral Temple, he turned around and mentioned another matter.
It is probably his purpose to let himself enter the Overwatch Council and supervise all officials.
If you mention it right away, you will definitely be rejected by yourself.
"I obey the decree!"
Master Xu had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.
"Hahaha, you are indeed my good teacher." The new emperor smiled and said, "I heard that Master Xu has accepted a student in Anxi Mansion. If there is a shortage of manpower around the teacher, the junior brother can be transferred here to replace the teacher.
Get started."
"I have heard that the young junior brother's poems are outstanding, and he once said a warning saying - "Your salary is your salary, and the people are fat and the people are anointed; the people are easy to abuse, but God is hard to bully."
"It's a pity. I originally planned to engrave this sentence on a stone tablet and place it in the thirty-six counties, one hundred and eight prefectures, and thousands of county offices in the Zhou Dynasty. However, Prime Minister Zhang said that it is not advisable to rush into the new policy at the beginning, but it can be done later.
Argument."
The new emperor's words made Master Xu's heart freeze.
Unexpectedly, the new emperor was not at ease with him. Back at Anxi Mansion, thousands of miles away, his every word and deed was still under the control of the new emperor.
I'm afraid that Lu Jiuzhang's information appeared on the new emperor's case list before he returned to Jingzhao Mansion.
"Student Lu Jiuzhang, I gave him the title Shoucheng. After leaving Anxi Mansion, I also persuaded him to go to Jingzhao Mansion with me, but he refused." Master Xu said, "This boy has a tough mind and great wisdom.
.If given time, we can catch the same wind, we will be able to soar up to 90,000 miles!"
