Liaozhai Great Sage

"Grand Ye loves dragons. There are real dragons who descended to worship Ye Gong. This is clearly recorded in the history books."

"Could it be rumors that Tang Minghuang's visit to the Moon Palace is also a rumor? The picture of Zhang Sengyou's dragon and horse in the hands of the young master can be transformed into a dragon horse and appear in the world. It can be seen that his finishing touch is true. I don't read many books, so I can only remember these. I don't know if it will be possible. Persuade the son?"

Li Xiuyuan was silent for a while, then said suddenly: "I will ask Qing'e to burn the historical records at home later."

Third Sister Hu giggled: "Indeed, it should be burned. The historical records are for fooling the people of later generations. The real high-ranking and powerful people will not believe these. What they believe is the imperial history handed down from the past dynasties in the palace." , and the family histories left by the various big clans, those are the real histories, but the son's ability is here, and it is not difficult to calculate all the things that happened before."

"I haven't learned this skill yet. After all, I haven't learned Taoism. I just rely on divine power. Although it looks like Taoism, it's actually just the power of divine power." Li Xiuyuan said.

Theocracy?

The fat eunuch's heart trembled when he heard this.

Rumor has it that a sage in the world beheaded the emperor of Dongyue and won the divine power, which shocked all the ghosts and gods in the world.

But hearing it is false, many ghosts and gods think it is fake, what kind of god Dongyue Shenjun is, how could he be knocked down by a mortal and cut down the divine power.

It now appears that this rumor may not be false.

The saints in the world really have the divine power in their hands, and have the ability to act for the heavens.

Thinking of this, the chubby eunuch was even more in awe of Li Xiuyuan.

"Sorry, the topic got off topic for a while, what did I say just now? Yes, there are a lot of ghosts and ghosts in the capital, so there are so many ghosts that the national teacher can't handle them?" Li Xiuyuan said.

"Yes, yes, the ancestor's Taoism is also inferior in comparison. This time, in addition to the imperial decree, the young one also brought a word from the ancestor." The slightly fat eunuch said.

"What?"

"The sage is invited to go north to Beijing."

As he spoke, he immediately knelt down on the ground, bowed his head, respectful and humble.

Chapter 486 The Inspector of Yangzhou

Entering Beijing?

When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he didn't immediately agree because of the eunuch's attitude.

From the previous words, it is not difficult to judge that the current capital is a place where dragons and snakes are mixed, and various forces are criss-crossed, including ghosts, ghosts, gods, Buddhas and princes.

After all, it is the land that dominates the country and the country, and its importance is almost as important as the Heavenly Palace in the sky.

But how many gods are there in the heavenly palace?How many ghosts and spirits are there on the ground?

Li Xiuyuan thinks it is mostly the latter.

"The national teacher wants me to enter the capital? Is this what he meant, or what the emperor meant?" Li Xiuyuan asked slowly after pondering for a while.

The chubby eunuch who was kneeling on the ground raised his head and said sincerely: "The ancestor once said that only the saints in the south can rule the world."

Li Xiuyuan said slowly: "The fruit farmer has planted fruit trees all his life, and the fruit they bear may not necessarily be his own. How do I know that the national teacher is not using me?"

The chubby eunuch was at a loss for words, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he didn't know how to answer.

"Aren't you here to announce the decree on behalf of the court's envoy? Where is the decree?" Li Xiuyuan suddenly said again: "Bring it for me to see."

"Yes." The chubby eunuch stood up respectfully, then turned around and went back to the room, holding out a brocade box.

Li Xiuyuan stretched out his hand to grab it from the air, intending to use the star-picking technique to get it, but he saw an imperial aura enveloped on the brocade box, churning up and down, like mountains and rivers in Kyushu, capable of suppressing ghosts and spirits.

"The imperial decree of the emperor is indeed extraordinary. It represents the orthodoxy and the country. Every word and deed is blessed by the fortune of the country. Just like the divine decree in the heavenly palace, one represents the sky and the other represents the earth, but..." He looked A golden light flashed in the middle.

The brocade box containing the imperial decree split open instantly, and the imperial decree flew out of it immediately and fell into the hand.

"It's just that the fate of the country is in decline, and a piece of imperial decree is not as heavy as imagined." Li Xiuyuan held the imperial decree in his hand and opened it.

The handwriting on it is straight and correct, meticulous, with edges and corners, and one can tell at a glance that it was written by a top calligrapher, and the emperor's seal is stamped on a corner of the imperial decree.

However, it is not ordered by the sky, that is, the four words of longevity and eternal prosperity.

The Chuanguo Yuxi is only used on special occasions, such as worshiping the heavens and praying for blessings, but it is not used for promulgating government orders, because the Chuanguo Yuxi is only a symbol of the emperor and represents orthodoxy.

Li Xiuyuan glanced at ten lines, quickly skimming the contents of the imperial decree.

"The imperial court named me the governor of Yangzhou, leading Yangzhou's culture, governance and military preparations? Do you have the right to recommend and dismiss officials?" His expression moved slightly, and he became a little surprised. As for the BMWs, jade belts, gold and silver, and silks and satins that were rewarded later, he didn't even look at them. .

Governor of Yangzhou~!

Li Xiuyuan murmured softly.

This kind of position is not low. It was equivalent to the minister of the frontier in the prosperous dynasty. To put it bluntly, it was equivalent to the level of a prince when the dynasty was in decline. Of course, the grade is not as high as the prince, but in terms The word of power is higher than that of princes.

As for the right to recall later, it is only the dismissal of officials below the seventh rank.

That is to say, he can dismiss officials below the county magistrate.

However, he has the right to recommend instead, and he can replace any county magistrate in Yangzhou.

"Is this the benefit of the national teacher?" Li Xiuyuan shook the imperial decree in his hand and asked.

The fat eunuch didn't dare to speak too much, the human saint in front of him was at the same level as the ancestor, how could he dare to speak nonsense with such a little bit of morality and eccentricity.

"Young master, isn't this a good thing? Inspector of Yanzhou, this is a very important official. I remember that a clan elder sister used to be a concubine in a governor's home, and successfully avoided the thunder disaster. It's a pity that she became pregnant and gave birth later. , showed her true colors, and was beaten to death by that heartless governor." Third Sister Hu said, with a sad expression on her face.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Being an official is indeed a good thing, but after taking over the post of governor of Yangzhou, according to the law of the court, I have to go to Beijing to report on my work, that is to say, if I want to be governor of Yangzhou, I have to go to the capital. , otherwise this official will not be successful, so I have to go to this capital, is that right, my lord envoy?"

As he spoke, he looked at the eunuch in front of him.

The fat eunuch remained silent, just lying on the ground in fear.

"If I don't say anything, I can guess that there is no free lunch in the world. I solved the crisis of Jinling City and Ping Jiushan King. For a guerrilla general, it is a blessing to be promoted to the general army, but I was able to be promoted to the top of the army." Yangzhou Inspector's position, it can be seen that the reward is not low, I believe that the Master of the State Teacher above the court has put in a lot of effort. Otherwise, I would not get this position." Li Xiuyuan said.

Third Sister Hu thought for a while, and said: "The young master is going or not? Isn't the higher the position the more convenient for the young master?"

Li Xiuyuan also pondered.

According to his previous plan, he would go all the way through the imperial examination, get into the top three in the imperial examination within one year, and then be released as an official, first governing the world's ghosts and gods, and then governing officials with the power of ghosts and gods.

Avoid the battle between courts.

Because he knew that his personality was not suitable for being an official, and he didn't want to wade into this muddy water.

However, the plan changed, the King of Nine Mountains rebelled, and Dongyue Shenjun sent Yang Biao down to earth, taking advantage of the rebellion to plot and kill himself, so he had no choice but to raise troops to quell the chaos, and this is where we are today.

"You're right. Once I get the post of governor of Yangzhou, I can manage Yangzhou within a year. In this way, the nine states in the world will be safe. Once Yangzhou is stable, I will use this as the cornerstone. Once the world is safe, I will complete my own ideas in my lifetime. Difficult." Li Xiuyuan stood up and looked out the window with his hands behind his back.

"But now that I am in Beijing, I am also worried that I will get involved in the battle too early, so that the plan will fail. After all, the water in the capital is too deep."
