The complete death of Sun Chuanlong, the leader of Ansheng Palace, also represents the end of an era.
At least, the practitioners of Zhao State can avoid being killed unjustly.
Chen Ke stood on the high platform, looking at Sun Chuanlong who had been dead for a long time, and he sighed slightly in his heart. In fact, there was no deep hatred between the two of them, but Sun Chuanlong continued to hunt down the practitioners of Zhao for power, and fell into an obsession.
During the period when Situ Guangxian did not care about the affairs of Ansheng Palace, Sun Chuanlong wanted to obtain the power of Ansheng Palace and could only continue to implement the rules of Ansheng Palace. War is the best way to plunder power.
If he wins the battle, Sun Chuanlong will receive a lot of glory and gradually become the first person under the Holy Master. He will completely control Ansheng Palace and lay a solid foundation for him to become the next Holy Master in the future.
Sun Chuanlong also did the same. He continued to win battles, making Sun Chuanlong's ambition gradually expand. Especially when Situ Guangxian, the holy master, has become increasingly invisible, Sun Chuanlong has become the grand master of Ansheng Palace!
Even the emperor had to be courteous to him, and even the current regent princess had to crawl under him and let him drive around. This is the ambition brought by all his strength, which made him forget his original wish and gradually became a power overlord.
What he did next became more and more unscrupulous, and in the end he made enemies and was attacked by his enemies.
This is the fate of Sun Chuanlong. He does not have enough strength to resist the backlash of karma, and he can only be destroyed by karma in the end.
"Chen Ke, come and sit in my house?"
Long Tu walked over with a smile, looked at Chen Ke, and nodded with satisfaction. Chen Ke has changed a lot in this year. He is less impulsive and more calm, which is good.
"I'm disturbing you, sir." Chen Ke said.
"Haha, let's go..." Long Tu said with a smile.
As soon as Chen Ke and his party returned to Jingzhao Mansion, a man claiming to be Chen Ke's old friend came to visit them at the door.
"The information is quite good." Long Tu glanced at Chen Ke. Seeing Chen Ke's expressionless face, Long Tu shook his head and smiled.
Of course the person meeting outside, Long Tu, also knew that Gu Yuanjiang was a low-ranking official of the sixth or seventh grade.
Bai Huwei said: "This person has been here since my lord's trial before. Especially when I heard that Chen Ke was coming back, he waited at the back door for a long time."
"Do you want to meet?" Long Tu asked.
Chen Ke said: "We are nodding friends, there is nothing more to talk about, so let's forget it."
A government official hurried in from outside: "Master, the Holy Spirit's decree has come down."
"Huh? Imperial decree!" Long Tu was stunned when he heard the words, and then thought of something. He looked at Chen Ke and said with a smile: "It seems that His Majesty is also very optimistic about you. Even if you think it doesn't matter, go and listen."
"Um."
Chen Ke agreed, and everyone walked to the front office together.
The person who conveyed the order was a father-in-law wearing a red python robe. He had a fair complexion and no beard. He walked up to everyone with a smile, looked at Chen Ke and said, "This is Mr. Chen Ke, the guard of the palace, right?" .”
"My official position is still there." Chen Ke smiled and said. He thought that he had killed Chen Ying, offended Princess Jinde, and was hunted down by An Sheng Palace. The imperial court had already removed his official position.
"What did Mr. Chen say? Are you wrong? Why should you be dismissed? Moreover, you also helped His Majesty eliminate the cancer in Ansheng Palace. Your Majesty is very grateful to you. No, the imperial edict of Jin Feng has come ." The father-in-law said with a smile.
"Chen Ke listens!" the father-in-law shouted.
Long Tu and others knelt down to prostrate themselves, but Chen Ke stood still. He no longer needed to kneel to others. Even the emperor of Zhao was not qualified to ask Chen Ke to kneel.
If it were Long Tu, Chen Ke might actually kneel down and thank him, because Long Tu was really paying for Chen Ke! Others, namely the Emperor of Zhao, were of little help to Chen Ke.
"This..." Long Tu paused slightly.
The young father-in-law said: "It's okay. Mr. Chen Ke is a man of immortality, so you don't need to take worldly etiquette seriously."
"I Shao Ying Jun Ming, Cha'an Holy Palace Sun Chuanlong has evil intentions, and the guard in front of the palace, Chen Ke, knows the traitors, has done great service in protecting the country, and eliminates harm for the people, so I have been specially promoted to the rank of Taibao, with the same three divisions as the founding ceremony, and nine gaps. I hope you will live up to my expectations and defend the country!"
After the father-in-law finished reading, he closed the imperial edict and handed it to Chen Ke: "Congratulations to Taibao Chen."
Taibao, the three most distinguished titles in a country.
Although he does not hold power, it is the most enviable official position among officials. Three too many and three too little, many officials spend their entire lives unable to obtain it.
However, someone had already been appointed as the Grand Master. Situ Guangxian, the Minister of Dali Temple, was awarded the title of Grand Master. Now the emperor has not deprived him of the position of Grand Master, and the Grand Master has also been occupied. Only one Taibao is still there, so It was given to Chen Ke.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chen Ke slightly bowed his hands. Others gave him an official title, so he had to thank him even if he didn't kneel down. After all, this is an official position that has blessed the luck of Zhao State, and it also has some help for Chen Ke's practice.
"Haha, Chen Ke, now you are also a first-class official, even more powerful than me." Long Tu said to Chen Ke with a smile.
"In my heart, your Excellency is the most upright official. This is just a false name." Chen Ke said.
The father-in-law next to him seemed to be waiting for something, but Chen Ke had no precedent of receiving an imperial edict and didn't understand the rules at all.
The white guard on the side took out a banknote from his sleeve and put it into the father-in-law's hand: "Thank you to the father-in-law for spreading the message. I will use this money to buy tea."
"Mr. Bai, you're welcome, Mr. Long, Mr. Chen, I'll take my leave first." The father-in-law led the people back with a smile. As for the subsequent matters such as the Kaifu Yi and the Third Division, it needs to be handed over by the Ministry of Etiquette, and Chen Ke doesn't know how to do it. If you really go and find someone to represent him, that's all.
"This man actually asked us for money!" Chen Ke suddenly said in surprise.
Long Tu smiled and said: "It's better to mess with the King of Hell than with the brats. It's just a few taels of silver. They are around the emperor every day and say bad things about you every day. No one can bear it."
"Just kill him, if there's any trouble!" Chen Ke said slowly.
"Haha, Chen Ke, you are a cultivator, but we are mortals. You have the path of a cultivator, and we have the official path of us mortals. They are different." Long Tu said with a slight smile.
"Forget it, I'll still be my cultivator. Things in the officialdom are too complicated, but the monastic world is simpler. If you don't accept it, fight!" Chen Ke said with a smile.
"Nephew Chen Ke, I am your uncle of the Gu family!"
At the door, Gu Yuanjiang waved hello, and there were two people next to him, Gu Lanshui and Gu Lanshan.
Gu Lanshui lowered his head and had no face to look at Chen Ke. He felt that his father was too philistine, ignoring others when they were in trouble, and coming to fawn over others when they got up.
Gu Lanshan's eyes were filled with affection, and she kept looking at Chen Ke with her big eyes.
We haven't seen him for a year, but Chen Ke's reputation has spread throughout the capital.
The Gu family had heard about the battle between An Sheng Palace and Chen Ke a few days ago, but at that time Gu Yuanjiang thought that Chen Ke was seeking death and the emperor could not save him if he dared to offend An Sheng Palace.
The result was very surprising to Gu Yuanjiang. Chen Ke actually captured the Grand Palace Master of Ansheng Palace and asked Long Tu to kill him. Even the Saint Master of Ansheng Palace was imprisoned by Long Tu. middle.
Later, the emperor's canonization made Gu Yuanjiang even more unable to bear it.
This is how the Chen family will rise! He let Chen Ke go last year, and he would never let Chen Ke run away again today.
"Remember, you must let Chen Ke like you. Our Gu family's ability to become a powerful family in the Zhao Kingdom depends on you! Chen Ke is alone now. After he rises, he will inevitably use people. Our Gu family's descendants are prosperous, which can help Chen Ke Take care of your family business!"
This is what Gu Yuanjiang kept saying when Gu Lanshan came.
Taibao!
As long as he is a high-ranking official and an important official of the imperial court, as long as he can get into his car, the Gu family will become a powerful family in the Zhao Kingdom!
Chen Ke nodded slightly: "Is something wrong?"
"Uh... I heard that you, my nephew, are back. I have specially prepared a banquet and want to invite you to the banquet." Gu Yuanjiang said with a smile.
"No, Master Long invited me. If nothing happens, you can go back." Chen Ke said lightly, neither cold nor hot, like an ordinary person.
"Brother Chen Ke, I have something to say to you." Gu Lanshan slightly blinked her long eyelashes, revealing a charming look that I felt pity for.
"No need, look at that, it's my new beg." Chen Ke pointed at Hu Xiaoxue who was standing on the edge of the crowd.
Although Hu Xiaoxue is only twelve or thirteen years old, she is also a beauty, with red lips and white teeth, a standard oval face, and a sassy combination of coldness and anger.
A bit more beautiful than Gu Lanshan.
Gu Lanshui kept his head down, too embarrassed to see Chen Ke.
Chen Ke looked at Gu Lanshui and said, "Brother Gu, come and have a drink?"
This Gu Lanshui is pretty good, and Chen Ke doesn't mind helping him. When Gu Lanshui heard Chen Ke calling him, he had to raise his head and said with embarrassment on his face: "Brother Chen, long time no see."
"What are you doing here? I didn't see Chen Keshi's nephew calling you over. Why don't you go quickly?" Gu Yuanjiang shamelessly pushed the reluctant Gu Lanshui.
"Father, Brother Chen is just being polite, you..." Gu Lanshui didn't want to go.
Chen Ke said: "Brother Gu, come here, let's talk about old times."
"This... okay." Under Chen Ke's gaze, Gu Lanshui walked into the Yamen.
Chen Ke and the others didn't care. Gu Yuanjiang and the others were at the door, heading towards the inner office. Gu Lanshan's face turned pale. She pulled Gu Yuanjiang's sleeve and said, "Father, please think of a way to make brother Chen Ke fall in love with me and marry me as his wife!"
"Don't think about it. We were too snobbish last year and probably made him unhappy. Fortunately, your brother has different personalities from us, otherwise we would have really offended him." Gu Yuanjiang wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Taibao's wife is a first-class imperial concubine, and a wife follows her husband. As long as she can become Chen Ke's wife, Gu Lanshan can become a first-class imperial concubine.
"Dad, please think of a way!" Gu Lanshan took Gu Yuanjiang's arm and said, shaking it.
Gu Yuanjiang looked at Gu Lanshan and frowned slightly: "Are you still a virgin?"
Gu Lanshan stood stunned on the spot!
