"In this case, wait until our family goes to the royal city, settles down, and then find an opportunity to bother King Tang!"
Chu Feng thought for a while and said in a deep voice.
According to his original intention, he did not want to go to the Tang Palace, after all, the water there was deep.
But now that his father is going to the royal city to take up the position of commander, he must also be going to the royal city. In this case, he will go to see the Tang Dynasty King just to have a face-to-face relationship, and also sign in at the royal palace to see if he can Can't get anything good.
"Okay, then the king and I will wait in the palace for Elder Chu's arrival!"
Eunuch Li smiled.
Afterwards, everyone chatted for a few more words, and then Eunuch Li left.
After Eunuch Li left, Tang Chen came to Chu Zhan and congratulated: "Congratulations to Mr. Chu for being promoted to the position of commander of the royal city. Chu Zheng, what did I say before? With Mr. Chu's ability, he served as the deputy commander of Dongjun. Shou, that’s definitely a sign of humiliation!”
"The Sixth Prince is right, Master Chu, congratulations to you, I may still rely on you in the future!"
Chu Zheng clasped his fists and congratulated Chu Zhan.
"Sixth Prince, Master Chu is welcome."
"Everyone is sensible. I was promoted by the king to the commander of the royal city only because my son Chu Feng is the elder of the Shushan Sword Sect, not because of my outstanding abilities!"
Chu Zhan said modestly that he still knew himself. If it weren't for Chu Feng, he would not 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, you are so humble. It is only because of your ability that you can give birth to such a promising son with Mrs. Chu."
Tang Chen smiled.
"What the Sixth Prince said makes sense. Mr. Chu is not too self-effacing."
Chu Zheng also flattered him.
"From what you said, it seems like this is the case. If it weren't for me, there really would be no Chu Feng."
After Chu Zhan was flattered, he shamelessly took the credit for himself.
Chu Feng on the side rolled his eyes secretly after hearing this.
This old man really takes himself seriously.
…
Not long after Eunuch Li left, officials in Qingcheng got the news from unknown sources that Chu Zhan had been promoted to the commander of the royal city by the King of Tang, and that the next lord of Qingcheng would also be selected by Chu Zhan. They immediately brought gifts. People came to visit Chu Mansion one after another. There were so many officials that they almost broke through the threshold of Chu Mansion.
As for the thoughts of these officials, how could Chu Zhan not know that their congratulations were fake and that they were genuine for the title of Lord of Qingcheng.
Although Qingcheng is only 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 chose the next Qingcheng City Lord with caution.
Of course, Chu Zhan accepted all the gifts given by Qingcheng officials. Anyway, if you don't take them, you won't get them for nothing!
In addition to Qingcheng, the city lords of other neighboring counties and cities also learned that Chu Zhan was promoted to the commander of the royal city. They sent people to congratulate them one after another. Unlike Qingcheng officials, they sent people mainly to communicate with Chu Zhan. Good, not for the position of Qingcheng City Lord.
In addition to congratulations, they were also curious about why the ordinary Chu Zhan was suddenly promoted to the commander of the royal city by the king of Tang.
Obviously, they still don't know that everything is because of Chu Feng, which is not their fault. Only a few people in the entire Tang Dynasty know that Chu Feng is an elder of the Shushan Sword Sect.
Time flies, and it’s been five days.
During these five days, Chu Zhan also selected the Lord of Qingcheng, an official with a high reputation in Qingcheng. Of course, this official also gave Chu Zhan many gifts.
But in the final analysis, Chu Zhan chose him as the Lord of Qingcheng because of his behavioral style and good reputation.
"Madam, I feel a little reluctant to leave this place that I have brought with me for many years!"
In front of Chu Mansion, Chu Zhan looked at Chu Mansion with a look of reluctance on his face.
"Who says it isn't? Every detail of the Chu Mansion is still vivid in my mind."
Tang Yu looked at the vermilion door frame of the Chu Mansion, with a look of memories on his face.
Chu Feng, on the other hand, had a calm expression and did not feel reluctant to leave. After all, he had been away from home for a long time, and the days he spent in the Chu Mansion would not exceed twenty days at most. Under this condition, naturally he would not feel much concern. .
"Sir, madam, if we are free in the future, we can come back and have a look."
"I have arranged for people to clean Chu Mansion every day."
The housekeeper comforted them while leading the carriage to Chu Zhan and Tang Yu.
With the strength of Chu Zhan and the others, they can naturally reach the Royal City of the Tang Dynasty faster by relying on their own strength. However, this time Chu Zhan is going to the Royal City to take up a post. There is no need to hurry. Naturally, he has to take a carriage to the Royal City and enjoy the scenery along the way.
Besides, there are still a lot of servants in the Chu Mansion, so it would be pointless for Chu Zhan and the others to arrive at the royal city first.
"Yeah, that's right. I'll come back and have a look when I have the chance."
After Chu Zhan and Tang Yu took another look at Chu Mansion, they got on the carriage. Chu Feng also entered the carriage in a flash.
When everything was ready, the carriage headed towards the Royal City. When passing the gate of Qingcheng City, there were many Qingcheng officials seeing them off.
"I really envy Master Chu. If you can go to the royal city and become the commander, you will be at the feet of the emperor!"
"Who says otherwise? Why do you think Mr. Chu is so lucky? In addition to becoming the commander of the royal city, he also befriends the governor of Dongjun and the sixth prince?"
"I don't know, but it would be great if I could be as lucky as Mr. Chu!"
"Just you? You don't take a pee and take a look at yourself. With your short stature, how can you possibly have good luck!"
An official with a short stature said, "I'm not so aggressive, I'm just stunted!"
"Huh!"
As soon as the short-statured official said this, he was immediately despised by other officials in Qingcheng!
What a shameless girl. She has several children and yet she brags about being stunted!
…
Just as Chu Zhan and others were on their way to the royal city, the news that Chu Zhan assumed the position of commander of the royal city spread throughout the royal city.
"Who is this Chu Zhan? Have you heard of it?"
"I've never heard of this guy!"
"Since he is a nobody, when he comes to the royal city, I will definitely give him a show of strength!"
"A show of force? Are you sure? Don't blame me for not reminding you. According to the information I found, Chu Zhan is on good terms with Chu Zheng, the governor of Dongjun, and the sixth prince Tang Chen!"
"What? This Chu Zhan actually has such great ability to make friends with Chu Zheng and the Sixth Prince?!"
The princes and ministers who had previously clamored to show Chu Zhan's power were surprised.
"Haha, this is nothing. Do you know who went to Qingcheng to read the imperial edict?"
"Listening to what you said, aren't you an official from the Ministry of Personnel?"
"This is no nonsense. If the person who read the imperial edict was an official from the Ministry of Personnel, would I still ask this question?"
"Stop being so pretentious, who was the person who went to Qingcheng to read out 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, why would you let Eunuch Li go? Do you still want to give Master Chu a blow?"
"Bah, you heard wrong. What I just said was to help him clean up his dust, not to show off his power!"
The princes and ministers who had just been clamoring to show Chu Zhan's power spoke righteously.
Other princes and ministers:? ? ?
There are ten thousand grass and mud horses rushing past in their hearts. They have seen shameless people, but they have never seen such shameless people!
