"The Emperor of Heaven has sent an edict saying: Chen Yuan, the Green Envoy of the Tangshan Prefecture, won the first place in the Immortal Climbing Battle and promoted the prestige of our country. I am very pleased. I hereby reward you with ten altars of spiritual wine, three kilograms of spiritual tea, and twenty pieces of brocade. Three thousand taels of gold, summon him to the capital to be used!"
The eunuch's unique drake voice resounded throughout the Tianxian Division.
Chen Yuan raised his head with calm eyes and whispered:
"Wei Chen obeys the order!"
There was a flash of light in the red-robed eunuch's hand, and a pile of rewards instantly appeared in front of everyone. Obviously, he also had the treasure of Xumi mustard seeds in his hand.
Once the imperial edict was approved, the red-robed eunuch gave way.
Chen Yuan took a few steps forward, bowed to catch the bright yellow imperial edict, and then passed it to Yue Shan beside him.
The red-robed eunuch stared at Chen Yuan:
"Our Yang Yuanqing has seen the audacity of the demon sword today."
Even though he was in the palace of the imperial city, Yang Yuanqing could still hear the news about Chen Yuan reaching the capital all the time. Especially when he won the first place in the immortal battle and defeated all the heroes in the world, Chen Yuan's reputation in the capital became even more prominent. There is no difference in time.
Naturally, there was some jealousy in my heart.
Under normal circumstances, he would naturally not speak sarcastically to Chen Yuan. In any case, he was a world-famous person, and now he has successfully formed a pill and has become a Grandmaster level existence.
When it comes to status, it is far inferior.
But this time he is an angel. He is here on an edict. He is naturally aloof and wants to manipulate the other party. If the other party is respectful in front of him,
Bowing down will also make his perverted mind feel inexplicably happy.
But he didn't expect that Chen Yuan was not afraid of him at all, not even afraid of the angelic identity in him, which made him feel a deep contempt.
"I am self-denial, devoted to the public, loyal to the emperor, and protect the country. How can I act rashly? Eunuch Yang is careful when speaking. You need to understand that disaster comes from the mouth. Tangshan Prefecture is located at the junction of the three prefectures and is adjacent to the Blood State. There are often demons sneaking in. If the father-in-law goes out, If there is any accident, I can’t explain it to His Majesty!”
Why should Chen Yuan be afraid of a trouble-free eunuch?
This was Tangshan, his realm. Although it was okay to kneel down, he just didn't want to kneel down. Especially when he first met this eunuch, his condescending attitude made him very unhappy.
I really want to trample him under my feet and tell him who is the god in Tangshan!
"You dare to threaten me?"
Yang Yuanqing stared at Chen Yuan with cold eyes and said word by word.
"My father-in-law thinks so, so be it." Chen Yuan raised his chin and looked at him with squinted eyes.
"Okay, okay, okay..." Yang Yuanqing laughed angrily:
"What a bold Demon Sword, who acts without any scruples. I have made a note of it. When we meet in the capital in the future, I hope Chen Qing will still be so arrogant."
Chen Yuan smiled and didn't take it seriously.
It seems that he doesn't take the eunuch in front of him seriously. If he needs to please even a fellow eunuch, the reputation he has gained in the world in the past year will be meaningless.
Ranking first on the Qianlong List brought Chen Yuan not only fame, but also status in the imperial court. At least, he had caught Jingtai's eyes, and he really didn't take a mere eunuch who announced the decree in his eyes.
Yang Yuanqing snorted coldly and said calmly:
"I still have important matters to go to southern Xinjiang. I will definitely accompany Ambassador Chen Qing to have a good fight someday. His Majesty's decree is that I will arrive in the capital within fifteen days. If I exceed the deadline, haha..."
"Then I won't give it away. Angel has a good trip."
Yang Yuanqing looked around at the officials of Tangshan Mansion and said coldly:
"Walk!"
After saying that, the four of them flew away in the air and disappeared into the sky.
Naturally, this trip was not specifically for Chen Yuan. He did not have the status and qualifications yet. Yang Yuanqing's real destination was to go to southern Xinjiang to meet the King of Zhennan.
Chen Yuan was just a whim of Jingtai, incidentally.
"Seal all these golden spirit wines and treasures in the warehouse and give them to Madam." Chen Yuan said calmly.
"I humble my duty and obey my orders."
Mo Donghe bowed and said.
Du Ming and Han Yu looked at each other and whispered:
"My lord, did you go too far?"
Chen Yuan chuckled lightly:
"Have you ever? I don't think so."
Several people looked at each other and saw Chen Yuan's attitude and said nothing more, but Chen Yuan stared at them and said softly:
"It's time to clean up these officials in Tangshan Mansion. I want to clean up some bad apples for the court."
"My subordinate understands."
Han Yu cupped his hands and clasped his fists, naturally knowing what Chen Yuan meant in his words. He was targeting those who were kneeling. They... were not loyal enough!
Even Chen Yuan didn't kneel down, but they were the first to kneel down. This was because they had the court in their hearts but not Chen Yuan!
As his base camp, Chen Yuan demands iron-clad allegiance. Anyone else who has the slightest dissent will be completely expelled.
...
...
Before Chen Yuan left Tangshan Mansion, another major purge was carried out here under the leadership of Han Yu. All officials who had not given up on Chen Yuan were removed from important positions and idle posts.
Or their homes were confiscated and their families were exterminated during the rigorous investigation.
Suddenly, the wind roared.
Tangshan Mansion seems to have returned to the time when Chen Yuan just took the lead.
Ouyang Zhi finally arrived at Tangshan Fucheng that day and met with Chen Yuan in person. After learning that Chen Yuan had formed the Heavenly Pill and was promoted to Grand Master, his attitude became even more humble.
The news that Chen Yuanhui was transferred out of the capital also spread rapidly, which made some small forces in Tangshan Mansion breathe a sigh of relief, and also let the state capitals near Tangshan breathe a sigh of relief.
This is especially true for the warriors of Yunyang Mansion.
When Han Yu and Du Ming led the Tiantian Division and the elite of the Armed Forces to destroy the Jinhua Temple, many people were frightened. Later, their suspicions were fulfilled.
A force from Tangshan Mansion reached out to Yunyang.
Just when they were about to join forces to deal with the Tangshan warriors, the other party strangely stopped expanding and only occupied the original sphere of influence of Jinhua Temple.
As soon as they stopped, the warriors of the Yunyang Mansion were at a loss. Eventually, fearful of Chen Yuan's terrifying reputation, the alliance gradually collapsed.
Now that Chen Yuan was leaving, they finally felt a little bit happy.
It's a pity that they still think too much. The expansion of Tangshan Mansion's power will not stop because of Chen Yuan's departure, but it will become more secretive. With the support of Jiang He, they will gradually spread their power to the entire Qingzhou!
Chen Yuan has already informed Jiang He about this in advance, and the other party will fully assist him.
Except for Jiang He, who has no time to develop his power, all the Taoist masters in the Taoist Palace have their own power. The evil ghost Taoist master Yang Huatian is not a single person at all.
But there are also many disciples, and these disciples control some forces.
That night, Chen Yuan contacted the Taoist masters in the Taoist Palace through the Heavenly Book and told them that he had been summoned to the capital by Jingtai's imperial edict to obey orders.
This sentence immediately shocked everyone, and they couldn't help but feel a little happy.
I feel that if Chen Yuan is gone, they will have a greater success rate in rescuing Senior Moro. It is not like the Taoist Palace has not developed some peripheral forces in the capital.
But these people include too many people, and the members are so complicated that they cannot trust the truth.
Only people of Tao Master's level can truly make them trust him. This matter cannot be leaked at all. Once word gets out, it will be dozens of times more difficult for them to take action in the future.
Therefore, they have always exercised restraint and never took action even if they had the opportunity before. Of course, this was also the instruction of Senior Moro, who said that the time was not yet available.
If he escapes, many people will be angry, and many things in the future will be even more difficult.
The real time is within three years. This is what Moro told them personally.
So they have been patient.
Now that it is three years and about to take action, how can we not make them excited?
Jiang He directly told Chen Yuan to meet him once when passing through Qingzhou City, and he would tell Chen Yuan the matter. It would be best for them to act according to their previous plan.
Chen Yuan understood.
Regarding Han Yu's position as the young envoy, Jiang He said that he would leave it to him and there was no need to worry about the rest, which also relieved him of some worries.
The news that he was leaving started to spread to other state capitals as the good guys in Tangshan Prefecture spread, making many sky patrol envoys envious.
As long as there are some pursuits, it must be the dream to go to the capital and become an official.
Only there, the official status can be promoted the fastest. Some people say that with a hammer in the capital, you can hit several eighth- and ninth-grade officials, which also shows the status of the capital.
Moreover, Chen Yuan's appointment in the capital was different from other people's. Others were able to take up positions in the capital through various connections, and it was a position with little power.
As for Chen Yuan, Emperor Jinkou Yuyan wanted to summon him to the capital to listen.
How could he not be controlled after falling into the eyes of the emperor? Wouldn't it make the world laugh at him if he was only given a little power?
It is precisely this that makes many officials envious.
Before he left, he passed the news to Shangguan Yu and Zhang Xuan. Zhang Xuan told him to stop and rest when passing by Nanling Mansion. He also had something to say.
On Shangguan Yu's side was a reply from Shangguan Hong.
He said that he had been in seclusion and was preparing to form elixirs, and would tell Shangguan Yu about this when he came out of seclusion.
Chen Yuan understood clearly and said no more.
Mrs. Xu did not bother to go to the capital this time. She understood the seriousness of the matter and knew that Chen Yuan would definitely not take her there. In this case, why bother asking more?
Chen Yuan gently caressed Mrs. Xu's hand and told her that the foundation of Tangshan Mansion should be taken care of for her. If anything happened, she could go to Qingzhou Golden Envoy Jiang He.
It won't be long before he returns from the capital.
He won't stay in that place for too long. When the time comes, he will escape immediately. There are too many powerful people in the court in the outer town. He doesn't have much hope of controlling great power in such a dangerous place.
Moreover, power is fictitious and is given by the emperor. He does not want this to be the case. The power he controls must be in his own hands to determine his own destiny.
Instead of like now, the emperor can summon him to the capital at will simply based on his preference.
Although this is in line with the plan of the Taoist Palace, Chen Yuan still feels a little uncomfortable in his heart. This phenomenon is normal. In Tangshan, he kept his word.
I'm used to being domineering.
Even though he has power in the capital, there are too many people above him who can control him.
His character is that he would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.
powerful!
He is still not strong enough, not to mention the master of Dan Realm, even Huayang Zhenren will not be taken seriously by the behemoth of the imperial court, unless it causes turmoil in various places.
The time Jingtai gave Chen Yuan was within fifteen days. A rough estimate of the distance told him that it was very urgent. He didn't know if the eunuch Yang Yuanqing would dare to do anything.
He must not dare.
But the news of his promotion to the Alchemy Realm has not spread yet. Jingtai only knows that he is a Tongxuan cultivator, so the time given to him is very tight.
If he followed Tongxuan's cultivation, he would have to travel non-stop to reach the capital of Zhongzhou from Tangshan within fifteen days, which made him have some ill feelings towards Emperor Jingtai, whom he had never met before.
Although Jingtai was not happy in his heart, he still had to travel a long way, and with his alchemy realm cultivation, he could cross the state capital and reach the capital in less than seven days.
And this doesn't need to be urgent.
Therefore, Chen Yuan stayed in Tangshan for a few more days and gave Mrs. Xu a lot of warnings. Because he was afraid that she would be hungry, he also made an exclusive stir-fried roast chicken for her.
The taste seems really good. Mrs. Xu is full. She said Chen Yuan's stir-fried...roast chicken. This dish is really good. I didn't expect that he still has such skills. He has been doing it for several months. I'm afraid I won't be hungry even if there is no time, and Chen Yuan also gave her all the savings he had accumulated for a long time...
After staying in Tangshan Mansion for two days, Chen Yuan did not delay any more and decided to set off for the capital. Originally, when Chen Yuan left, he wanted to be quiet and not alert anyone.
He didn't want to create any more complications.
But he didn't expect that the time of his departure seemed to have been estimated. Early in the morning, the entire city gate was filled with people, all of whom were ordinary people.
Most of the clothes were in tatters, but his eyes were unusually bright.
Thousands of people didn't say a word, they just stood quietly outside the city, waiting for Chen Yuan to leave the city, wanting to see him off!
To be fair, Chen Yuan actually didn't care much about these people. He spent most of his time practicing or busy with other things.
There is no time to stand up for some common people.
What he did was just what he was expected to do, but this was not the case in the eyes of the people at the bottom. They felt that Chen Yuan was a good official who really asked for orders for the people.
Ever since Chen Yuan came to Tangshan.
The tyrannical Jianghu gangs are gone, there are very few officials accepting bribes, Jianghu warriors no longer bully the people, and government taxes have been reduced to very low levels.
He also opened a porridge shop outside the city to extend the lives of some people who could not afford to eat.
Don't such people count as good officials?
Don't such officials deserve to be called Qingtian?
Therefore, after hearing the news that Chen Yuan was going to be promoted to the capital, these people felt reluctant to give up and were happy for Chen Yuan. Finally, a certain point broke out.
Spontaneously bid farewell to Chen Yuan.
Looking at the dark crowd in front of him, Chen Yuan's heart trembled involuntarily and he let out a sigh of relief. To be honest, he really didn't want to be a good official.
Those Jianghu gangs disappeared because they blocked his way and wanted to join forces to kill him. In the end, Chen Yuan caught them all in one fell swoop and killed them all. Those big fish died.
Naturally, the remaining small miscellaneous fish did not dare to move.
There were very few officials who accepted bribes because he had purged the officialdom and replaced them all with his own people, while the newly appointed officials did not dare to dare to raise their hands under his nose.
But if the water is clear, there will be no fish. Aren’t many people working hard to become officials just to make money?
After he leaves, everything will gradually return to how it was before. Now they are just coveting his power, and Chen Yuan has little interest in investigating this.
As long as the other person is loyal and doesn't go too far, nothing will happen to him.
Most of the time when officials are arrested, it's not because of corruption, but because the other party's backend is gone...
As for taxes, that is even more nonsense. The reason Liu Zhengsong asked him for instructions to lower taxes was just because the taxes from Tangshan Prefecture had been collected by previous officials twenty years later.
The mud legs can no longer scrape out oil and water.
Their real targets are the clan forces with some family business. They are the big ones, they have riches and water, and the taxes are very heavy. However, due to their limitations, most people don't know about it.
There is also the most widely circulated idea of opening a porridge shed to help the people. Chen Yuan didn't know about this at all. It was entirely Liu Zhengsong's doing.
It was just pressed onto Chen Yuan's body.
Furthermore, when the government opens porridge sheds, it is not to support idle people. They must do things for the government, such as cultivating fertile fields or building roads and cities.
Most of Liu Zhengsong's political achievements were actually passed down to Chen Yuan. This was partly because Liu Zhengsong was grateful for Chen Yuan's kindness, but most of it was because the image of Chen Yuan created by those storytellers was so good.
It's like the rebirth of heaven.
Those people who didn't have much knowledge spread the news to ten, one hundred, and one hundred, and combined with the changes around them, Chen Yuan was naturally deified.
Hearing a sigh of relief, Chen Yuan did not miss this good opportunity. With a solemn expression, he raised his hands to the dark people in front of him and said:
"When I leave my post, it is my blessing, Chen Yuan, to have all my fathers and fellow villagers to see me off."
"Envoy Chen Qing."
"Chen Qingshi..."
There were endless shouts.
An old figure, leaning on a cane, walked to the front of the crowd with the support of several people. He held a colorful umbrella in his hand and said:
"Envoy Chen Qing, this is the Ten Thousand People Umbrella prepared by us, the people of Tangshan, for Envoy Qing. I hope Envoy Qing will accept it."
Chen Yuan slowly fell from the void, supported the old man with his own hands, and said sincerely:
"It's given by the elders and I dare not say goodbye. Thank you very much, Chen Yuan."
Then he looked at everyone, cupped his hands with a solemn expression, and said loudly:
"I accept your wishes. It's no wonder that Tangshan has such people. It's not in vain that Chen is passionate. Everyone...please go back."
After saying that, Chen Yuan took a step forward and returned to the void. He looked at a beautiful figure looking at him not far away and said through a message:
"Be kind to people."
A good reputation is still very necessary. Since it doesn't take much thought, why wouldn't he do it?
In the future, perhaps these popularity will be a big help to him.
Then, Chen Yuan took a deep breath and Yukong left.
Thousands of people in the darkness looked at the stream of light going away and said in unison:
"Congratulations to Ambassador Chen Qing!"
"Farewell to Ambassador Chen Qing..."
On this day, Chen Yuan left Tangshan, and the reputation of the people sending officials to officials spread throughout Qingzhou...
————
The monthly ticket is a bit low. It has been moved to the fifth level of Wuxia. Brothers, those who still have tickets can give it a try! We will go to the capital soon to start a new legend.
A big climax is coming...
Don't keep books...
