All-Heavens Star Chart

Fame and fortune have always been the most attractive, if it weren’t for Zhou Chen, he prefers Martial Dao cultivation road.

He might really be drunk in the title of Gold List, the joy of exploring flowers in high school, and eventually, like most scholars in the Ming Dynasty, he will get lost in this official career.

Fortunately, Zhou Chen and even his own strength is really strong, so starting from the 2nd day, he resumed the regular life of cultivation Blade Technique and accumulated skills.

In order to calm down and cultivate martial arts, Zhou Chen also deliberately moved out of the noisy Inn, and moved to a house on the outskirts of the city.

In the future, this capital will be regarded as Zhou Chen’s habitual residence, so he asked Ba Dao to find a suitable house in the capital just after the test of Chunwei.

A few days ago, Ba Dao had already bought a house in the eastern suburbs of Beijing.

Although the house is not a big place, it is better than a quiet place. Zhou Chen is very suitable for cultivation martial arts.

In the following days, Zhou Chen was completely free. He only needs to wait quietly for the Imperial Court to grant a formal official position.

According to the usual practice, Zhou Chen is the top three in the first place in the hall test. He is likely to be assigned to Hanlin Academy to serve as a grade 7 editor, or from Compiled by the historian of Grade 6.

These are two relatively leisurely positions, specially used to give the top three mixed qualifications for the first three in the palace test.

After three to five years, as long as there is no serious mistake, they will be sent outside Beijing to serve as a prefect, or a Zhizhou in Zhili prefecture, and become a court. Grade 4 members above.

If there is no accident during the term of office, after a term of Perfection ends, he will be promoted to the governor of a province, or he will be transferred directly to the capital to serve as this Ren. The servant of the first department.

Such a speed of promotion is not fast. In less than ten years, you can go straight from a small official of Grade 7 to a senior official of 2~3 Ranks in the Imperial Court.

This is the preferential treatment of the Imperial Court for the top three in the Palace Examination. As long as you can be a man, the speed of promotion is far beyond that of ordinary Jinshi of the same discipline.

The average Jinshi, when he first became an official, is at best a small County Magistrate from Grade 7.

Zhou Chen is not dissatisfied with the speed of this promotion. Unfortunately, the only thing that makes him a little bit resistant is that he really does not want to be trapped in this capital for three to five years.

Creating three or five years of books in Hanlin Academy is really a waste of time for Zhou Chen.

Moreover, this capital is really fish and dragons mixed in together, aristocrats and nobles are unknown. With Zhou Chen’s temperament, he can’t say when he will offend these nobles and affect His future career.

So Zhou Chen finally thought about going, but still planned to find a way out of Beijing to leave Beijing.

After all, the Emperor Tiangao is far away. As long as Zhou Chen is out of the capital, it doesn’t matter how much he toss.

However, just when Zhou Chen was thinking about preparing to walk the way of the official department, and find an opportunity to leave Beijing outside.

A group of dozens tweeted and escorted a middle-aged Court Eunuch to the courtyard where Zhou Chen lived.

Seeing the face of the middle-aged Court Eunuch, Zhou Chen did not dare to neglect the slightest bit. He hurriedly walked up to pay respect and said: “The lower officials have seen Lord Wang.”

This great Court Eunuch is no one else. It is a close friend of Emperor Hongzhi, the superintendent of court eunuch and Wang Yue.

Wang Yue’s narrow eyes fell on Zhou Chen when he walked into the courtyard.

Wang Yue saw Zhou Chen’s courtesy very comprehensive, not as respectful as other scholars, but actually looked down on them as a disabled person, the smile on his face became more and more pronounced. The ground is rich.

Hurry up to Zhou Chen’s side, and after raising his hand to help Zhou Chen up, Wang Yue said with a smile: “Third Placer don’t need to be polite, you should go and change into your clothes and come with us. Go to the palace, Your Majesty is waiting for you!”

Zhou Chen hearing this expression moved, he deliberately asked what was going on.

Only after seeing the faintly anxious look on Wang Yue’s face, he hurried back to the house to change his clothes.

After a long period of busy work, Zhou Chen followed the Great Court Eunuch Wang Yue through the heavy palace gate and entered the Hall of Nourishment where Emperor Hongzhi usually lived and worked.

When he came to the gate of the hall, Wang Yue first asked Zhou Chen to wait here, and he entered the hall to report.

Not long after, Wang Yue walked out of the hall door again to greet Zhou Chen and said: “Third Placer, Your Majesty has time right now. Go in and meet you!”

Zhou Chen slow down Slowly nodded, he took a deep breath and stepped into the Hall of Nourishing the Heart.

Rao is Zhou Chen who thinks that the Martial Dao Cultivation Base is not bad, but facing Emperor Hongzhi alone, the supreme ruler of the Ming Dynasty, he still feels a lot of tension in his heart.

Just stepping into the gate of the palace, before Zhou Chen had thought about how to salute Emperor Hongzhi, the gentle voice of Emperor Hongzhi rang from inside.

“Is Third Placer Zhou Chen coming? Come in!”

Zhou Chen hearing this walked into the room and saw Emperor Hongzhi sitting behind a large bookcase.

Below him are a few wooden tables and chairs, but behind him is a large screen.

In the entire room, apart from the exquisite screen, the other layouts are very simple, and they don’t look as luxurious as ordinary people imagine for the Imperial Family. .

But how is the decoration in this room, but it is simply not taken seriously by Zhou Chen.

On the surface, apart from Wang Yue who served Emperor Hongzhi, there is no fourth person in this room anymore.

However, Zhou Chen sensed two different breaths from behind the screen. This is what Zhou Chen cares most about.

One of the two auras is very obvious, I am afraid that a martial arts expert of the first or second rate can feel it.

What makes Zhou Chen vigilant and alert is the other aura. If it weren’t for Zhou Chen, he could hear some faintly discernable breathing sounds after a few moments, and Zhou Chen would probably not have noticed that. Human existence.

Judging from Zhou Chen’s feelings about that person, that person’s Martial Dao Realm may not be inferior to him, most likely it is also a Martial Dao powerhouse of Innate Realm.

Although the thoughts in his heart are constantly surging and changing, Zhou Chen’s expression on the surface does not reveal anything.

Walking to the front of the hall, he bowed and moved towards Emperor Hongzhi paid respect and said: “Chen Zhou Chen, I have met Your Majesty, Your Majesty Sacred Bow Jinan!”
