Before the morning rooster crows, the early sun shines on the smooth bluestone road. Occasionally, a few busy small vendors can be seen on the wide street, and the mischievous morning wind blows the hot food The scent of the scent spread into the carriage.

Zhen Yu's stomach was making a fuss about the empty city. This early in the morning, before the third watch, Chen Xiang ordered someone to urge him to leave. In order to avoid any embarrassment in the early court, all officials have always refused to enter the court. Diet, Chen Xiang is like this, Zhen Shen has to do as he pleases.

The sound of carriages gradually became denser, and now there is still less than half an hour before the court, and there are more and more vehicles on the road leading to the Forbidden City, but all the carriages and sedan chairs gave way to the prime minister's mansion tacitly. carriage.From this alone, it is enough to see how powerful Chen Xiang is in the court, and even the relatives of the emperor have to avoid his edge.

Zhen Po looked out through the gap in the curtain. The carriage had already passed the Meridian Gate, and the speed gradually slowed down. Since the past dynasties, civil and military officials have to get off their horses and sedan chairs in front of the Meridian Gate and walk into the palace gate. Chen Xiang was the only one who won this honor, because the old emperor Nianji was old, so the horse-drawn carriage that pardoned his mansion could drive into the palace.

Zhen Po's eyes fell on the patrolling guards on the left and right sides, and he blinked his eyes. Compared with the team of servants seen in the prime minister's mansion, these guards were much inferior in martial arts, and some of them even had no skills at all. No martial arts background, just a silver gun candle head - just look at it.

The carriage in front of him stopped slowly, Zhen Yu felt his body shaking, and a sharp voice came from outside the carriage, which was harsh and unpleasant, and he knew the identity of the speaker without looking outside.

Zhen Xun kept silent. Before he came, Chen Xiang had ordered someone to tell him some rules of the palace. He knew that after entering the palace, he would be able to be a puppet tactfully. He could do whatever the eunuchs said, let alone Walk around wherever you want.

After staying in the carriage for a while, Zhen Po felt overwhelmed. Although there was already a bit of autumn at this time, the tail of midsummer was still rampant in the capital.

"Come down, please." There was a harsh voice from outside the carriage. Knowing that it was calling him, Zhen Kai lifted the curtain and got off the carriage neatly.

There were several young eunuchs standing outside the carriage, and one of them was somewhat powerful among the crowd. He looked up and down Zhen Po's clothes, and knew in his heart how to treat this person.

"Follow our family." The little eunuch raised his face, and the quick change in attitude was simply jaw-dropping.The other little eunuchs also imitated their little bosses to do things in a decent manner. After several people led Zhen Po into a side hall, the little eunuch who was the leader just now directed people to serve tea and cakes.

"Master Xiang told me, you are so lucky to stay here and wait for the summons. If you want to drink tea and eat food, you can tell our family, but don't intrude. There are guards patrolling everywhere in the inner courtyard of this deep palace. If you intrude Misfortune, Master Xiang will not be able to protect you." The little eunuch's tone of voice was strange, no matter how he heard it, he felt awkward.

Zhen Yu did not forget his position, and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, father-in-law, for your suggestion."

The little eunuch accepted the gift without hesitation, with a smug look on his face.

After waiting for about two hours, Zhen Shen's feet were already a little numb from sitting, but he deliberately didn't use his internal energy, for fear of being spotted by others, he had already drank three cups of tea, and the pastries were served wave after wave Bo, you can feel the water in your stomach swaying when you move your body.

Suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the hall, followed by a rustling voice, which Zhen Shen could hear clearly, and the muscles on his face tensed all of a sudden.

The little eunuch walked in with hurried steps, and said to Zhen Shen, "Your Majesty summoned you to follow our house."

A nervous look appeared on Zhen Po's face at the right time, and the little eunuch urged: "Get up quickly, so that His Majesty won't get impatiently waiting."

Only then did Zhen Zhen seem to have suddenly realized, stood up, straightened his clothes, and followed the little eunuch towards the outside.

The little eunuch walked very fast, as if there were some poisonous snakes and beasts behind him, Zhen Shen had to speed up his pace.

After reaching the side hall of the Qianqing Palace, the little eunuch slowed down, and Zhen Po also stood still. The little eunuch turned around and said to Zhen Po, "Our family will send you here, you, take care of yourself." Your Majesty said in front of you that if you become prosperous in the future, don't forget our family's kindness."

Zhen Po repeatedly answered yes, and the little eunuch nodded in satisfaction. Then, under the guidance of the other two eunuchs, Zhen Po walked into the side hall.

Taking a quick glance at the emperor who was sitting in the palace wearing a dragon suit from the corner of his eye, Zhen Shen knelt down as he had learned in the past few days, and saluted in a regular manner.

The gaze with a little chill in the sizing fell on Zhen Po's back. Without thinking too much, Zhen Po also knew who the owner of this gaze was.

"Let's be flat, you are the magic fortune that Chen Xiang is full of praise?" The emperor sat on the chair, with a lazy expression on his handsome face, and a pair of peach blossom eyes noncommittally looked at Zhen Xi who was standing at the bottom of the steps.

"Caomin is just a little bit capable, and he can't be praised by the Prime Minister." Zhen Po said calmly.

The look of admiration in Chen Xiang's eyes became even more intense. Although this man was greedy for money, he was quite decent in his advances and retreats, and he would not lose his face.

The emperor's eyes naturally took Chen Xiang's expression into his eyes, a trace of haze quickly passed over his face, and he smiled brightly: "Master Xiang never recommends incompetent people, you don't have to be too modest. I intended to praise you As a teacher of the state, I am afraid that you are too young, and that the officials will not accept it, and it happens that the position of Qintian Supervisor is vacant, and I want you to take up this position."

Qin Tianjian Jianzheng is the official position of the fifth rank, and a commoner was suddenly promoted to the position of supervisor. This kind of thing has never happened. If it weren't for the power of Chen Xiang, this incident alone would be enough for those censors to scold him. It's been a month.

Chen Xiang frowned, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the position of national teacher has been vacant for many years. Since the Nu Bodhisattva left more than ten years ago, there has been no one to hold it. I feel that the ability of magic calculation is not inferior to that of Ni Bodhisattva." Bodhisattva, now that His Majesty is entering the court for the first time, it is time to recruit talents, if there is such a case, there will be more able and lofty people to come to assist His Majesty in governing the country in the future."

Although the position of national teacher has no rank, it is second only to the emperor in terms of status. Its duty is to maintain the dragon veins of the Daqi Dynasty, so that the Daqi Dynasty can rule the world for thousands of generations.

The emperor slightly raised his brows. Chen Xiang has made big moves and small moves one after another in recent days, and now he is showing his ambition without fear!Intention to meddle in the dragon's veins!

"What Chen Xiang said is very true, but the position of the national teacher is very important. I need to consider it carefully. It is better to let this person take the post of supervisor first. If he makes great contributions, I will definitely promote him to be a national teacher. .” The emperor pretended to hesitate for a moment before saying.

Chen Xiang frowned, this did not satisfy his request, he wanted to speak again, but the emperor already showed a tired expression, twisted his brows, and said: "I am a little tired, Chen Xiang and the supervisor Back off first."

Zhen Po raised his head and glanced at the emperor unexpectedly. Although this method was a bit rascal, it was effective. It seemed that the emperor was not as mediocre as he imagined, at least he was a little cautious.

Chen Xiang walked out of the palace gate with a sullen face, and Zhen Yan followed behind him step by step, knowingly and silently.

"Tomorrow you will go to Qin Tianjian and find an opportunity to make a great contribution. From my point of view, the position of supervisor has wronged you." Chen Xiang said firmly.

"Don't dare, Caomin's success depends entirely on the Prime Minister. The position of supervisor is beyond Caomin's expectations. Caomin must do his best to become a national teacher as soon as possible." Zhen Po replied calmly.

Honor and disgrace are not surprising, it is really rare to have such a mind at such an age, Chen Xiang nodded, and said: "You are now a prison officer, and you still call yourself a grassroots? Change your mouth quickly."

"Yes, I know about it." Zhen Yu replied politely.

Chen Xiang smiled, and suddenly stopped in his tracks, "I heard that you are quite famous in the south of the Yangtze River. It seems that you have the title of 'miracle doctor'?"

Zhen Po's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself that it really came, with Chen Xiang's treacherous and cunning nature, how could he not check his details!

Zhen Po's complexion looked a bit cramped, and he said nastily: "Xiaguan used to have such a name in the south of the Yangtze River. He originally thought that he would go to the palace to treat the saint who had gone to the palace with the recommendation of Mr. Lin Yushi, the inspector. To be promoted and honored, but I didn’t want to, but I came a step too late.”

Chen Xiang smiled, and patted Zhen Po on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I just asked casually, since you have such ability, then I can rest assured."

rest assured?What to worry about? Zhen Po was full of doubts. Seeing that Chen Xiang had already boarded the carriage, he couldn't ask any more questions, so he had to hide the doubts in his heart.

The appearance of a Qintian Supervisor with no real power did not arouse any discussion in the court, it was like throwing a small stone into the boundless ocean, it just caused a circle of ripples.Among the hundred officials, only a very few were sensitive to the tense atmosphere that was about to come and the storm was coming, while more people had already become numb to Chen Xiang's actions.
