After bidding farewell to Wang Qian, Wu Qiu and Su Hao discussed and first found an inn to stay, and then asked Chu Zhao and Chu Yi to return home to visit their father. The two of them went to the Xuanzhengyuan of the capital to report with the imperial edict.
Xuanzhengyuan is located in the core area of the capital, separated from Xuanyuan Peak by a city wall. To get to the inn, you need to pass through three inner city gates.
The capital's city wall originally had only one wall. Later, as the population increased, it was expanded over thousands of years and has now been built to a fifth wall. Now, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Rites are arguing about whether it is necessary to build a sixth wall.
It's overwhelming.
Neither the Ministry of Household Affairs nor the Ministry of Works were willing to continue repairing it. After all, as long as the king was there, there was no danger of the capital being breached. Building the sixth city wall in a circle of tens of thousands of miles would waste people and money, but it was of little use.
The Ministry of Rites has a different view. It believes that this is the need to distinguish levels and levels, and it is also convenient to set up various management systems so that residents on the periphery of the capital will not be too confused and can enjoy the same safe and comfortable life as residents in the inner city.
Other ministries and the cabinet are currently more inclined to the opinions of the Ministry of Rites. It may not be long before the construction of the sixth city wall will begin.
Every time he passed through a city gate, Su Hao felt a different mental state. The residents inside looked at people with more and more arrogance and disgust, as if someone coming from outside the city would dirty their ground.
.
Su Hao said as he walked: "Brother, it seems that this city wall cannot be built. What is built is not a barrier, but a barrier!"
Wu Qiu agreed: "Yes, fortunately we followed your suggestion and opened the institutional facilities in the first ring to everyone, so that the residents in the second and third rings did not have too strong a sense of superiority."
Su Hao sighed: "As time goes by, a sense of superiority will definitely appear. It just needs guidance to avoid xenophobia."
The two of them observed and discussed together, taking note of the advantages and disadvantages of Xuanyuan Capital. Two days later, they arrived at the gate of Xuanzhengyuan.
This is a huge building complex covering an extremely large area. In the reception room, Wu Qiu took out the imperial edict and handed it to the officials here. The officials took a look at it and handed it back. After recording their current addresses, they told them to wait for notification or ten days.
Ask again in the future.
After two days of traveling and a few words of business, they walked out of Xuanzhengyuan. They didn't know what to do, so they had to wander around the city casually.
The capital city gives people the impression of being huge, with people everywhere, bustling with people in every neighborhood, and an extremely developed economy.
There is also Xuanyuan Peak in the center of the city, which is like the Tower of Babel. It covers an area not as large as imagined, but it is too high. You can’t see the top at a glance. There are already white clouds floating on the mountainside. Looking at it like this, if there weren’t
The monks took him away, and ordinary people might die of exhaustion on the way to see the king.
After buying some novel items and enjoying a feast in a restaurant, Su Hao separated from Wu Qiu and came to the door of Chu Zhao and Chu Yi's house.
As his own master, Su Hao thought that since he had the opportunity, it would be better to visit his home once to show courtesy.
This is a four-entry house located outside the second city wall. A plaque reading "General Wei's Mansion Chu" hangs above the door. There are two soldiers standing guard at the door.
Seeing Su Hao approaching, one of the soldiers shouted: "This is the general's residence. Whoever came here? If you have nothing important to do, please leave quickly."
Su Hao said politely: "I, Su Hao, whose name is Tianyi, am the master of Chu Zhao and Chu Yi. I am here to visit General Chu. Please let me know."
The soldier was shocked when he heard this, and he didn't dare to be negligent, so he quickly went in to report.
After a while, Chu Zhao and Chu Yi ran out and bowed to greet their master. Then they saw a middle-aged man in casual clothes walking out of the door, cupping his hands towards Su Hao and saying: "The Great Master from Heaven is coming to this humble house, and An Guo is far away to welcome you."
, I hope you’ll forgive me.”
This man was Chu Zhao and Chu Yi's father, the second-rank guard general Chu Anguo who commanded Xuanyuan Kingdom's Zuowu Camp.
Su Hao said: "I have taken the liberty of visiting you. Please forgive me, General."
"Wherever, please come."
The two of them greeted each other politely, and Chu Anguo let Su Hao through the door and went into the main hall to serve tea and talk.
Chu Anguo's demeanor is normal now, and he is no longer as manic as when Chu Zhao and Chu Yi left. It is obvious that with the passage of time, the trauma in his soul has been healed to a certain extent.
Talking about his excessive grief and confusion, which caused his children to run away from home, Chu Anguo looked guilty. Even though he had already apologized, he still expressed his apology to Chu Zhao and Chu Yi again in front of Su Hao.
The two brothers and sisters are now young adults with foundation-building skills. They can be independent in any place, but they still feel deeply when they see their father's true feelings revealed.
Chu Anguo was truly sincere to his demon wife, and had not remarried for more than ten years. Apart from the soldiers on duty, his family only had a few servants, and his life was extremely frugal.
This made Su Hao admire him very much. After all, with Chu Anguo's current status, Riri's groom also met the conditions.
After chatting for a long time, the topic finally came to the Sixth Prince.
Everyone in the Wushuang Sect analyzed the content of the imperial edict and believed that it was the fault of the Sixth Prince. Therefore, to solve the problem of the imperial edict, we must start from the Sixth Prince.
Chu Anguo told Su Hao that he was the grandson of the king, and he was originally a well-known dandy in the capital. After inheriting the throne, he became more powerful and did many outrageous things.
Some things he did were too big and reached the ears of the king. The king punished him severely, took away a lot of his authority, and set up targeted yoke so that he could no longer do whatever he wanted.
Therefore, he fell in love with Chu Anguo's wife, so he could no longer rob her openly, but tried to find a way to promote Chu Anguo to a higher position, and then visit her to negotiate terms.
I thought that Chu Anguo would be able to "see sense" and give his wife to him, but in the end, he ended up taking the blame for killing the family members of a hero.
This imperial edict against Third Uncle Yuan Xue was also a helpless move by the Sixth Prince. He had done all the evil deeds and basically lost the ability to stir up trouble outside the capital. He was able to invite the imperial edict, but it was because his son had indeed died.
, the special care given by the king.
Yuan Mu is an officially wanted criminal in the Xuanyuan Kingdom, and Wushuangmen dares to protect him, which also makes the country's leader unhappy.
After listening to Chu Anguo's story, Su Hao understood the reason why Xiaogushan was not attacked. It turned out that they had offended the most miserable prince in the capital.
Chu Anguo said: "I'm not afraid of Taoist Priest's jokes. I only woke up six years ago. At that time, there were not many people at home. They all found other jobs because they couldn't stand my moodiness."
"After I woke up, I started looking around for Xiao Zhao and Xiao Yi. I only knew that they left the capital in a teleportation array. I couldn't find out where they went. If the Taoist priest hadn't taken them in, we might never be able to see each other again in this life."
Su Hao smiled and said: "It's all by chance. Dezhao Deyi is extremely talented, and he is expected to advance to become a god in the future. The general has worked so hard, so I should congratulate him for this."
Chu Anguo said in surprise: "We still need to rely on the cultivation of the Taoist priest."
Su Hao said: "Right now, the Sixth Prince is using his methods against my Wushuang Sect, and we will not sit still and wait for death. General, if you are free, please take me for a walk around the Sixth Prince's residence."
Chu Anguo immediately stood up and said: "I am willing to serve the Taoist Master. You can set off now."
The Sixth Prince's residence is on the edge of Xuanyuan Peak. It is a five-level house. The area is very shabby compared to his status. However, the spiritual energy here is abundant. Even if he does not have spiritual roots, he can live longer and longer by living here.
The people who can live around Xuanyuan Peak are basically the rich and powerful. There are hundreds of princes' mansions. The rest are either Dukes or Dukes, or high-ranking officials of the first rank or above in the dynasty. Those with lower status are only eligible to visit.
.
Correspondingly, there is security. It is said that two Nascent Souls are on duty in the cave under Xuanyuan Peak all year round, changing every hundred years.
As a second-grade general, Chu Anguo could come and go freely here. After his carriage entered, no one stopped him from checking.
Su Hao sat in the car, completely hiding his cultivation, quietly sensing the fluctuations of spiritual energy around him, and raised his brows.
Nascent Soul monks can only be perceived by others when they are practicing, and the interaction between them and the spiritual energy of the outside world can only be perceived by others. They are not usually perceived by others, but the Golden Core monks are different. Their location is like a lighted lamp, which is very dazzling.
At this moment, in this place where the rich and powerful live, such bright lights are like the stars in the sky, densely packed and everywhere.
