Chapter 125 The Envoy of the Song Kingdom
The rain outside fell on the ground.

There was a mess everywhere, and there were wet mud puddles everywhere.

Chen An stood there, looking at the scene in front of him, frowning.

"It's raining more and more."

He murmured softly, all kinds of thoughts flashing through his mind.

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

Well, it is actually looking at the scenery.

However, while looking at the scenery, Chen An was also mobilizing the innate energy in his body.

After being promoted to Astral Qi Realm, warriors can easily feel and even control the innate Qi that exists in their bodies.

Gang Qi is formed by the combination of inner qi and innate qi, and then sublimated.

Innate Qi is not only the key to promoting Astral Qi, but also has other functions.

For example, the detailed perception of the outside world.

Manipulating the innate qi in the body is equivalent to adding a new organ to oneself to a certain extent. Some things that cannot be seen through the eyes can be sensed through the innate qi in the body at this moment.

Just 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 energy.

The rain, the faint rain, and the tiny dust contained in the surrounding space seemed to be unable to escape his induction, which he sensed quite clearly.

Of course, it's just a rough feeling.

When this feeling is applied to fighting, it is an amazing martial arts sense, which can judge the opponent's every move in advance and achieve various goals.

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

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

Thinking of this, Chen An couldn't help but sigh.

The road of martial arts is really exciting the further back you go.

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 it is really practiced to the end, whether it can be called a human again, I am afraid it is not certain.

Chen Anxin secretly flashed this thought.

The next moment, the surrounding environment suddenly changed.

An inexplicable feeling flooded into his heart, interrupting Chen An's thinking.

He looked up at the sky and seemed to feel something.

After a while, a ray of light shone on the ground and on Chen An's body.

The heavy rain that was crackling all around suddenly stopped abruptly and stopped immediately.

What a sunny sight.

A smile appeared on Chen An's face.

After the emperor's death, Cheng Zheng ascended the throne as the prince.

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

However, since this rule was invented, it seems that few people 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 the work that day, and begin to operate on this country according to the thoughts in his heart.

Of course, when he was the prince before, he also did a lot of things, but at that time, the prince was still there after all, even if he was no longer in charge, but 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 first emperor, and he himself has become the emperor, and some things that he wants to do can naturally be done.

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

For example, the reform of the Guozijian, the announcement of the assessment system by the way, and the preparation of an important assessment for selection.

Accompanying this, there is also a large-scale assessment of existing officials, and a large number of unqualified officials are prepared to be kicked out of their current positions.

On the one hand, it is to clean up the worms for the country, and on the other hand, it is naturally to fight against dissidents and arrange for their own people to take the lead.

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

If you don't clean up those people now, how can you make room for your own people?

Coincidentally, a large number of qualified talents can be screened out in this assessment, and they will be put down together for placement at that time.

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

Under such circumstances, 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 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 could understand 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.

At first, Chen An felt that there were some problems with this statement.

After all, since contacting him, Cheng Zheng's performance has been very good and very human.

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

As far as the seriousness and ruthlessness of doing things are concerned, those who scold behind their backs say mean, I am afraid it is for Cheng Zheng's sake as the emperor, and they dare not scold it too much.

As soon as these knives come out, those who have been corrupt in the past, or those who have fished in troubled waters, are afraid that they will not be able to get along immediately.

At that time, all of them lost their jobs.

Can this be scolded?
Isn't that mean?
To be honest, even if Chen An was put in that position, he would probably have to scold him.

The butt decides the head.

But the world has no ifs.

Chen An is not an official.

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

Is it because the soft rice at the Fourth Princess is not fragrant enough, or is the property of Chen Guogong's manor 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.

But okay.

Although he swung several knives in one breath, Cheng Zheng was not a fool after all. He also gave a lot of benefits while wielding the knives, and attracted a group of people.

For example, the opening of the Guozijian, allowing the Guozijian to only admit Xungui's children in the future, in order to win over the Xungui family.

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

Looking at the various operations, it may seem a little anxious, but it is still under control.

Just a little bit faster.

In Chen An's opinion, if Cheng Zheng's reasons take it slow and don't pull the knife so hard all at once, the impact can be greatly reduced.

At least with a buffer, many things will not cause any problems.

But that's the difference between the two.

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

As a 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 your boss to listen to you, right?

It would be better to just fire the boss and be your own boss.

The books are good.

Don't say it yet.

Chen An was only performing his duties, and even a little bit of fishing, but Cheng Zheng became more and more satisfied with Chen An.

It's all about the comparison.

Compared with the so-called loyal ministers around him who persuaded fiercely at every turn, and even persuaded them with death, Chen An, a minister who was both capable and loyal, and who also adhered to his duty, was really 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 obviously 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 a valuable experience brought to Chen An by the past life history course.

It is well known to everyone in the week 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 if you don't pay attention, you or the people around you will float, and it will be a disaster immediately.

Chen An just came to practice, and he didn't want to be an emperor, so why bother?

But he wanted to fish, but Cheng Zheng didn't allow it here.

"Your Majesty, this minister is lazy and just wants to retreat and practice at home. You should leave such an important matter to others to handle."

Inside the palace, Chen An looked at Cheng Zheng in front of him and said helplessly, "I think Liu Guogong 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 do this."

Cheng Zheng grabbed Chen An's hand and said with some anticipation: "Liu Guogong's loyalty is there, but his strength is not enough. At this time, I'm afraid he can't take on this important task."

"I have thought about it, and at this moment, by my side, you are the only one who has enough strength and can take on heavy responsibilities."

This important task he mentioned is called protecting the imperial city.

In other words, act as Cheng Zheng's bodyguard chief to protect his safety.

Those who can take on this kind of responsibility naturally have to be loyal to Cheng Zheng, otherwise they will not be protected, but held hostage.

Secondly, this position also needs to be strong enough.

This is to protect the emperor, 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 fine."

Chen An smiled bitterly for a while, but in the end he couldn't help but nodded and agreed.

After a while, he changed his body and became the head of the bodyguard in the palace.

This also means that Chen An can no longer practice to the fullest.

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

Do you know what nine nine six is?
Of course, Cheng Zheng is not so exaggerated here, and his work intensity is still acceptable most of the time.

It's just that compared to the leisurely days of the gate, it is still somewhat different.

It took Chen An half a month to get used to this kind of life.

Speaking of which, Gang Qi warriors used to guard the palace, and the effect was quite good.

Because of the existence of innate qi, Chen An can keenly sense the changes in the surrounding environment, even if it is only a very weak change of qi mechanism, it will attract the attention of the gang qi martial artist.

This kind of ability is nothing to put outside, but it is more suitable to put it in this kind of place.

But suitable is suitable.

In the past, I am afraid that few Astral Qi warriors are willing to condescend and come to guard outside the palace.

Chen An may be the first in the Dahua court.

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

Days passed by, but it was not boring.

The size of the palace is so large that even if Chen An led people to inspect it, he would be able to inspect it for a long time.

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

Naturally there will be no boredom.

"Ok?"

Early in the morning, there were bursts of footsteps outside.

Feeling the air from the distance, Chen An subconsciously raised his head and looked in the direction of the distance, just to see a long and narrow figure.

A lot of people came in from the outside, looking at it, they should be the envoys of a big country.

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

Small countries cannot make up so many envoys.

"Song country?"

Looking at the figures walking in the distance, Chen Anxin couldn't help but feel more interested.

Song State was not far from Dahua.

Like Dahua, Song State is also a dignified and big country, and it seems that it has a certain relationship with Dahua in the past.

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

And this time when Cheng Zheng ascended the throne, Song Guo also sent someone.

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

I just don't know if these people came to Dahua for a simple congratulations, or for other purposes.

Chen An didn't know either.

However, this did not prevent him from observing the mission and watching it with interest.

However, it seemed that he noticed his gaze, and one of the crowd looked up, and a line of sight suddenly looked in the direction of Chen An.

The Qi machines around changed instantly, and there was a vague sense of solemnity.

Master!

As if nothing had happened, Chen An shifted his attention, but became more and more interested in his heart.

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

If not by accident, then this is probably a master who also controls the innate energy.

Are you angry?
Chen Anxin flashed this thought, and quickly turned around as if nothing had happened, and went to inspect other places.

Soon, bells rang everywhere.

Above the main hall, Cheng Zheng formally received these envoys from Song.

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

Cheng Zheng was still quite polite to the envoys of Song, and he did a good job of etiquette.

The leader of the Song Kingdom was an old man who looked about 50 to [-] years old, with a majestic appearance, and seemed to have an equally special status in the Song Kingdom.

"Mr. Liu has come all the way from Song State on purpose. I don't know what to teach me?"

Cheng Zheng asked politely.

"The old man is nothing but an ordinary mortal, how dare he teach Dahua Emperor."

Liu Sheng smiled: "However, there is something unknown."

"Oh?"

Cheng Zheng raised his head, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "But it doesn't matter."

"After the old man came to Dahua, he heard that Chen Guogong of your country resigned and passed the title to his grandson. I wonder if this is true?"

Surprisingly, Liu Sheng's words finally fell on Chen Guogong.

Cheng Zheng's eyes suddenly froze, but he nodded and said, "Of course it's true."

"Chen Guogong is afflicted with old illnesses, and he feels that he can no longer serve the court, so he took the initiative to submit the title of Chen Guogong to his grandson Chen Changan. Is there any problem?"

"Naturally there is no problem."

Liu Chu smiled: "However. Although the old man is not talented, he had a good relationship with Chen Guogong at the beginning. Hearing Chen Guogong's news at this moment, I can't help but feel a little sentimental."

"The grandson of Chen Guogong can be recognized by Chen Guogong, inheriting the title of Chen Guogong, and he is also a handsome man."

"It just so happens that this time the old man came here, and he also brought several talented people from our country. He was thinking of taking the opportunity to meet His Majesty to have a discussion with the new Duke Chen Guogong. I wonder if it's okay?"

The voice fell, and the place fell into silence.

Cheng Zheng's eyes were fixed on Liu Sheng, and he was in shock.

This is to measure Chen An's strength, so he came to test it deliberately?
Or is there any other purpose?
In the distance, Chen An also frowned, watching helplessly as eating melon finally ate him.

"Of course, if that Chen Guogong doesn't dare, or is unwell, then forget it."

Liu Sheng said with a smile: "After all, what I brought this time are all the talents of my Song Dynasty. If Chen Guogong admits that he is invincible, it is normal that he is not willing to come."

Good guy.

Can you be any more obvious about your aggressive tactics?
Chen An couldn't help but look sideways.

"Mr. Liu is serious."

Cheng Zheng glanced at Liu Sheng, and then said lightly, "Chen Guogong."

"Would you like to learn a thing or two with Song Guocaijun?"

As soon as the words fell, the surrounding ministers gave way, and all eyes fell on Chen An invisibly.

This made Chen An, who originally wanted to hide in the corner and silently be a small transparent, become the focus of the audience.

And at this level, what can Chen An say.

So, he sighed, and finally said helplessly: "I am willing."

The words 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.

"Zhao Jun in the next Song Dynasty, please advise!"

A moment later, on the vast competition arena, a burly man with a face full of flesh stepped out, clasped his fists with both hands, and called out his name.

This Zhao Jun seems to be from the royal family of the Song Dynasty, and he also practiced the horizontal training method. There are fine textures on the skin all over his body, and it seems that he has practiced more than one training method to the end.

After greeting each other, he quickly shot.

A shot, is a hammer to say hello.

Most of the weapons of others are swords and the like, and at most they are only larger.

But this Zhao Jun is different. He uses a big hammer directly, and he dances with vigor and strength.

"Inner Qi Dacheng?"

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

"good."

Liu Sheng stroked his beard and smiled smugly.
