Chapter 125 Song Dynasty Envoys

The rain outside fell on the ground.

It’s a mess of wet mud puddles everywhere.

Chen An stood where he was, frowning at the scene in front of him.

“The rain is getting heavier and heavier.”

He murmured softly, all kinds of thoughts flashed in his mind.

To outsiders, Chen An at this moment seems to be just standing there watching the scenery.

Well, it’s actually looking at the scenery.

But while watching the scenery, Chen An is also mobilizing Innate Qi in his body.

After being promoted to Astral Qi Realm, Martial Artist can easily feel and even control the Innate Qi that exists in his body.

Astral qi is the combination of inner Qi and Innate Qi, and then sublimated.

Innate Qi is not only the key to promotion astral qi, but also has other functions.

For example, a detailed sense of the outside world.

Manipulating Innate Qi in the body, to a certain extent, it is equivalent to adding a new organ to itself. Some things that are usually invisible through the eyes can also be sensed by the Innate Qi in the body at this moment. arrive.

Like now, Chen An seems to be looking at the scenery, but he is actually feeling the changes in the external environment through his Innate Qi.

The rain, the light rain, and the tiny dust contained in the all around space seemed to be unable to escape his senses, and he sensed them quite clearly.

Of course, it’s just a rough sense.

When this feeling is applied to fighting, it is an amazing Martial Arts induction, which can judge the opponent’s every move in advance and achieve various goals.

And if this feeling continues to enlarge, to a higher level, I am afraid that there will be more things that can be done.

To that extent, I am afraid that even if it is to sense the changes in solar terms and judge the temperature changes every day, it will not be a big problem.

Thinking of this, Chen An couldn’t help feeling emotional.

The road to martial arts is really exciting the more you go to the back.

Now it’s just astral qi, it’s already like this, I just don’t know what the future will be like.

I am afraid that if I really practice to the end, I am afraid that I can no longer be called a human being.

Chen An secretly flashed this thought.

next moment, all around environmental mutation.

An inexplicable feeling flooded into my heart, interrupting Chen An’s thinking.

He looked up at the sky and seemed to have a feeling in the heart.

A moment later, a ray of light shone on the ground and on Chen An’s body.

all around The heavy rain that was originally crackling stopped abruptly and stopped directly.

It was a sunny day.

A smile appeared on Chen An’s face.

After the emperor’s death, Cheng Zheng was enthroned as the Crown Prince.

According to etiquette, when the emperor dies, the Crown Prince must observe filial piety for three years.

However, since this rule was invented, few people seem to have followed it seriously except for a few honest people.

Cheng Zheng is naturally not an honest person.

With his temperament, after ascending the throne, he could hardly wait to devote himself to work on the same day, and begin to operate on this country according to the thoughts in his heart.

Of course, he also did a lot when he was Crown Prince, but at that time, the emperor was still there after all, even if he didn’t care much, Cheng Zheng had to take care of it. .

So some things you want to do, naturally you can’t do them.

But now that the emperor has passed away, he has become the emperor, and he himself has become the emperor. Naturally, some things that he wants to do can be done.

In less than a month since he ascended the throne, he issued several orders one after another, and began to try in some important places.

For example, reform the Imperial College of Supreme Learning, announce the assessment system by the way, and prepare to hold an important assessment for the purpose of selecting materials.

Accompanying this is a large-scale assessment of existing officials, preparing to kick a large number of unqualified officials from their current positions.

On the one hand, it is to clean up the worms for the country.

After all, a radish is a pit, and those important positions are already occupied by others.

How can you make room for your own people if you don’t clean up those people now?

Exactly, this time assessment can also screen out a large number of qualified talents, and when the time comes, just put them down together for placement.

His movements were so fast and violent that everyone was in danger for a while.

Under this circumstance, Cheng Zheng, who had just ascended the throne, immediately complained.

This is also normal.

When the emperors of other families ascended the throne, they all granted amnesty to the whole world and gave benefits to the officials and the common people.

You are good, as soon as you come to the stage, you will be stabbed with several knives.

It would be hell if it still had a good reputation.

All of a sudden, there were shouts of scolding.

Chen An was in Shengjing, and when he saw this situation, he couldn’t help but sigh.

By now, he understood how Cheng Zheng’s past fame came about.

In this Shengjing, Cheng Zheng’s reputation in the past has always been not very good, and many people think that he is mean and too ruthless.

Chen An at first also felt that there were some problems with this statement.

After all, Cheng Zheng’s performance has been very good and very human since he came into contact with him.

But now that he looked at it again, he understood.

In terms of the seriousness and very ruthless degree of doing things, those who scolded behind their backs said that they were mean, I am afraid that it was for Cheng Zheng’s sake as the emperor, and they did not dare to scold them too much.

As soon as these knives come out, those who used to embezzle or fish in troubled waters may not be able to get along right away.

when the time comes

Can this not be scolded?

Isn’t that mean?

To be honest, even if Chen An was placed in that position, he would probably have to scold him.

The ass decides the head.

But the world doesn’t have an if.

Chen An is not an official.

Besides, in his situation, even if he is really an official, there is no need to embezzle.

Is the soft rice at Fourth Princess not fragrant enough, or the industry at Duke Chen’s house is not rich enough?

Corruption? That’s just a few bucks.

This kind of situation has already doomed him and those people are not the same.

It’s okay though.

Although he swung several knives in one breath, Cheng Zheng is not a fool after all.

For example, opening the Imperial College of Supreme Learning, allowing the Imperial College of Supreme Learning to only admit Xungui’s children in the future, in order to win over Xungui Aristocratic Family.

Another example is the promotion of a group of officials who were previously suppressed by the Second Prince faction to control the government.

The various operations may seem a little anxious, but they are generally still under control.

It’s just a little bit faster.

In Chen An’s view, if Cheng Zheng takes it slow and doesn’t pull the knife so hard all at once, the impact can be greatly reduced.

At least with a buffer, a lot of things won’t go wrong.

But this is the difference between the characters of the two sides.

Chen An mentioned it once, but seeing Cheng Zheng disapproved, he stopped persuading him.

As a migrant worker, the most important thing is to be conscious.

It’s up to you to make suggestions, but it’s up to the Boss to use them or not.

You can’t force the boss to listen to you, right?

It might as well just fire the Boss squid and be the Boss yourself.

It’s good to be good at it.

Don’t say it.

Chen An is just doing his duty, and even a little bit of fishing, but Cheng Zheng is more and more satisfied with Chen An.

It’s all about the comparison.

Compared with the so-called loyal ministers who are all around and persuade fiercely at every turn, and even persuade them with death, Chen An, a minister who is both capable and loyal, and who sticks to his duty, is really let down. People are comfortable.

As a result, Chen An was shocked to find that he was only thinking about fishing, but Cheng Zheng’s reliance on him became more and more important day by day.

This is not the case.

I just want to fish.

Feeling the heat in Cheng Zheng’s eyes, Chen An helplessly flashed many thoughts.

Since Cheng Zheng ascended the throne, Chen An has stayed in his mansion very honestly and dutifully.

This is an invaluable experience for Chen An from the past life history course.

We all know that if a person has too much power, the emperor will be afraid.

If you already have a strong strength, the emperor is still very kind to you, then don’t be complacent, but be more careful.

Because one person may not pay attention, you or the people around you will float, and it will be a disaster immediately.

Chen An just came to Cultivation, and didn’t want to be the emperor, why bother?

But he wanted to fish, but Cheng Zheng was not allowed here.

“Your Majesty, I’m lazy, I just want to retreat at home Cultivation, you should leave such an important matter to others.”

In the Imperial Palace, Chen An Wang Looking at Cheng Zheng in front of him, he said helplessly: “I think Duke Liu is pretty good.”

In the distance, Liu Chu turned around with a confused expression.

“Chang An, I know what you’re thinking, but you really have to.”

Cheng Zheng grabbed Chen An’s hand and said expectantly. : “Duke Liu’s loyalty is there, but his strength is not enough. At this time, I’m afraid he can’t take on this heavy responsibility.” You are the only one who has enough strength and can shoulder the heavy responsibility.”

The heavy responsibility he said is called guarding the imperial city.

In other words, it is to act as Cheng Zheng’s Escort’s son to protect his safety.

Anyone who can take on this kind of responsibility must be loyal to Cheng Zheng, otherwise he will not be protected, but held hostage.

Secondly, this position also needs to be strong enough.

This is to protect the Son of Heaven, isn’t the strength enough to do it?

Especially when Cheng Zheng has just ascended the throne and the people around him are still unstable, a strong candidate is even more needed to take on this responsibility.

“That’s all right.”

Chen An smiled bitterly for a while, but in the end he couldn’t get it right, and nodded agreed.

After a while, he changed his body and became Escort’s son in the Imperial Palace.

This also means that Chen An will not be able to enjoy Cultivation afterward.

Nonsense, you have to protect the emperor, do you still want Cultivation?

Do you know what 996 is?

Of course, Cheng Zheng is not so exaggerated here, most of the time the work intensity is still acceptable.

It’s just that it’s a little different from the leisurely days of the Gate.

Chen An took a full half a month to get used to this kind of day.

Speaking of which, astral qi Martial Artist is used to guard the Imperial Palace, and the effect is quite good.

Because of the existence of Innate Qi, Chen An can keenly feel the environmental changes around, even if it is only a very weak internal qi change, it will attract the attention of astral qi Martial Artist.

It’s okay to put this ability outside, but it’s more appropriate to put it in this kind of place.

But it is appropriate.

In the past, I am afraid that few astral qi Martial Artists are willing to condescend and come to guard outside the Imperial Palace.

Chen An may be the first within the Great Hua Imperial Court.

From this point of view, he can be regarded as a positive face to Cheng.

The days go by, but they are not boring.

The size of the Imperial Palace is so large that even if Chen An takes people on a tour, he can tour for a long time, and he can enjoy a lot of time in all kinds of scenery.

In addition, during this period, many messengers from the outside world came, which also made this imperial city extraordinarily lively.

There will be no boredom of course.

“en?”

In the early morning, there were bursts of footsteps outside.

Feeling the internal qi coming from a distance, Chen An subconsciously raised his head and looked in the direction of the distance, just in time to see one after another long and narrow silhouette.

A lot of people came in from outside, and it looks like they should be the envoys of some big country.

As for why it is a big country, it is naturally because of the number of people.

Small countries can’t make up so many envoys.

“Song Dynasty?”

Looking at the silhouettes walking in the distance, Chen An couldn’t help but feel more interested.

Song Dynasty is not far from Great Hua.

Similar to Great Hua, Song Dynasty is also a great country, and in the past seems to have a certain origin with Great Hua.

The two sides have had blood feuds and marriages, and the relationship is quite complicated.

And this time Cheng Zheng ascended the throne, Song Dynasty also sent people.

Looking at it like this, it should be the envoy in front of me.

I just don’t know if these people came to Great Hua just for congratulations or for other purposes.

Chen An is also unclear.

But that didn’t stop him from observing the mission and watching it with interest.

However, as if he noticed his gaze, one person in the crowd looked up, and a line of sight suddenly looked in the direction of Chen An.

The internal qi changed instantly, and there was a vague sense of solemnity.

Experts!

Chen An turned his attention away as if nothing had happened, but became more and more interested in his heart.

He is not too close to where the distant mission is located, but the person in the distance can keenly sense his sight and perceive his presence.

If not by accident, then this is probably an expert who also controls Innate Qi.

Astral qi?

Chen An flashed this thought in his mind, and soon turned around as if nothing had happened, and went to inspect other places.

Soon, bells rang everywhere.

On the great hall, Cheng Zheng formally received these envoys from Song Dynasty.

“The messenger came from a long way, and it is polite to give such a generous gift on purpose.”

Cheng Zheng is still quite polite to the messenger of Song Dynasty, and he did it in etiquette. It’s in place.

The leader of the Song Dynasty was a forty-fifty-looking old man with a dignified appearance, who seemed to have an equally special status in the Song Dynasty.

“Liu Old Mister came from Song Dynasty on purpose, what can he teach me?”

Cheng Zheng asked politely.

“The old man is just an ordinary mortal, how dare he teach the Great Hua emperor.”

Liu Sheng laughed: “However, there is something unclear.”

“oh? ”

Cheng Zheng raised his head, and after pondering for a while, he opened the mouth and said: “But it doesn’t matter. “

“After the old man came to Great Hua, he heard that Duke Chen of your country resigned in his old age and passed the title to his grandson. I wonder if this is true?” “

Surprisingly, Liu Sheng’s words finally fell on Duke Chen’s head.

Cheng Zheng’s eyes suddenly froze, but in the end he was still nodded and said: ” Naturally true. “

“Duke Chen is ill and feels that he can no longer play for the Imperial Court, so he took the initiative to go to the table and hand over Duke Chen’s title to his grandson Chen Changan. Is there any problem? “

“Of course there is no problem. “

Liu Chu laughed: “However, although .old man is not talented, he had a good relationship with Duke Chen at the beginning. Hearing the news of Duke Chen at this moment, I can’t help but feel a little sentimental.” “

“The grandson of Duke Chen can be recognized by Duke Chen and inherit the title of Duke Chen. “

“It just so happens that the old man came here at this time, and he also brought some talented people from our country. He wanted to take the opportunity of meeting Your Majesty to have a discussion with the new Duke Chen. I wonder if I can? “

The voice fell, and the place fell into silence.

Cheng Zheng stared at Liu Sheng, and he was in shock.

This is to measure Chen An’s strength is two pounds, so he came to try it on purpose?

Or is there any other purpose?

In the distance, Chen An was also frowned, and watched as the melon finally ate him.

“Of course, if that Duke Chen dares not, or is unwell, then forget it.”

Liu Sheng said with a smile: “After all, this time I bring The people who came are all the talents of my Song Dynasty. If Duke Chen admits that he is invincible, it is normal that he is not willing to come. “

Good guy.

Can you be more obvious about your aggressiveness?

Chen An couldn’t help but stare.

“Liu Old Mister is serious. “

Cheng Zheng glanced at Liu Sheng, then said lightly: “Duke Chen. “

“Would you like to play a game or two with the talented Song Dynasty? ”

The voice fell, and the ministers all around gave way, all eyes fell on Chen An invisible.

This made the original want to hide in the corner In the audience, silently when a little transparent Chen An suddenly became the focus of the audience.

And at this level, what can Chen An say.

So, he sighed, In the end, he said helplessly: “I am willing. “

The voice fell, I don’t know if it was an illusion, the smiles on Liu Sheng and the others became more and more bright, as if they had achieved their goal.

“Under Song Dynasty Zhao Jun, please advise! “

A moment later, on the vast Martial stage, a burly man with a face full of flesh stepped out, cup one fist in the other hand with both hands, and called out his name.

This Zhao Jun seems to be from the Song Dynasty Imperial Family, and the Cultivation is also the External Art door. There are fine textures on the skin all over the body, and it seems that more than one training method Cultivation has been brought to the Great Accomplishment.

Having greeted each other, he shot quickly.

As soon as he shot, he was greeted with a hammer.

Most of the weapons of others were swords and the like. Most of them are just bigger.

But this Zhao Jun is different. He uses a big hammer directly, and he dances with the bonus of inner Qi.

“inner Qi Great Accomplishment? “

On the high stage, Cheng Zheng was a little surprised.

“Not bad.” “

Liu Sheng stroked his beard, laughed proudly.
