Martial Cultivator

On the day of the cold dew, the morning court was held as usual. Because they had been notified in advance, most of the courtiers looked solemn at this court meeting and were not as casual as usual. Chen Chao set off from the Zuowei Yamen and rode in the same carriage as Song Lian, but Song Lian Lian was alone, while Chen Chao had a sword on his waist. As the only martial artist who is qualified to carry a sword to the palace to attend court meetings, Chen Chao actually knows that he should act in a low-key manner, but after thinking about it, in the end he still felt that he was not wearing a sword. They all felt that something was wrong, so they didn't care about the criticism from the government and the public. After all, the right to bear the sword was bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor, and no one dared to criticize it in public.

But even so, as the only military attache who could carry a sword, Chen Chao still attracted the attention of countless people before he got off the carriage and entered the palace. The emotions in the eyes of the military attaches were mostly the same, that is, half envy and half jealousy. In the eyes of most civil servants, it is too complicated.

Song Lian did not squint his eyes. This time, His Majesty the Emperor specially allowed the guardian envoys to attend the court meeting. He naturally knew why. As for Chen Chao, he also moved forward silently, closely following Song Lian in front of him.

Because it is not a big court meeting, there is not so much emphasis on entering the palace this time. Civil and military officials are mixed together. They all get along better on weekdays. However, there is a phenomenon that is very intriguing, that is, military attachés rarely have civilian officials accompanying them, and civilian officials Side by side, most of the people walking together have similar official ranks.

To be an official in the Liang Dynasty, regardless of the level of knowledge, many people have to think carefully about the way to be an official, otherwise they will be put in the shoes. This is the foot of the emperor. There are many opportunities to reach the sky in one step, but at the same time, you must be more careful. Be careful, if you are not careful, you will easily capsize in the gutter.

Therefore, local officials envy the officials in the capital, and no one among the officials in the capital envies the local officials.

But probably no one can convince anyone about these things, it's just a chicken-and-duck talk.

Chen Chao originally didn't want to cause trouble, but after walking a few steps, he saw a familiar face. After a pause, he greeted Song Lian and walked over quickly.

The old acquaintance was none other than Mi Ke who had been transferred to the capital of the gods.

They met once before at the Ministry of Industry, but Chen Chao and Master Mi did not meet again after that. This was because Chen Chao had gone on a far journey and left behind a lot of practice. In addition, Mi Ke had arrived in the divine capital for the first time, and many things had happened. If you want to do it, don't be too casual. Even Xiu Mu doesn't dare to leave the mansion easily, lest there is any emergency and the superiors can't find anyone and leave a bad impression on the superiors.

The two met and walked side by side. Chen Chao went straight to the point and said with a smile, "My reputation in Shendu is not necessarily good now. Brother Mi is taking this trip with me. I might be in trouble when I go back. Don't blame me then." ”

Mi Ke was startled, then said angrily, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Then what else could I say hello to you?"

Chen Chao smiled and said nothing. He naturally knew how true these words were. Mi Ke had been in Shendu these days, so there was no reason not to inquire about Chen Chao's reputation in Shendu.

Seeing that Chen Chao was not fooled, Mi Ke smiled and said, "I will be satisfied if I can serve as an official in the capital of gods in this life. As for whether I can rise to the top all the way, that is really something I only think about when I am full. Friendship with my brother In this situation, if we pretend not to know each other just for the sake of career, I would feel guilty as a minister. "

Chen Chao smiled and joked, "Brother Mi has become much more open-minded in recent years. He is no longer the picky and fussy person he used to be."

Mi Ke shook his head, "My brother is wrong. Only after coming to Shendu did he realize that many things are not easy. With this little salary, I can't afford a lot of expenses. I have long heard that this street in Shendu is quite famous. , It's a pity that I don't dare to go and see it now. I just listen to the music and feel happy just thinking about it. It's a pity that I don't have enough money in my waist. "

Chen Chao quickly interrupted and said, "Brother, stop talking. I'll just treat you to other guests, but I don't dare to go to this place like Yanliu."

Mi Ke looked upright, "I'm confused, this is an elegant place for literati and elegant guests, not just something in the crotch."

Chen Chao looked helpless. After all, he admired Mi Ke. He could also say this about this matter.

"According to me, at my age, it's time for me to see the world, and to cultivate my sentiments among other things."

Mi Ke looked disappointed, as if he was very disappointed with Chen Chao's lack of moral integrity.

Chen Chao asked curiously, "Sister-in-law didn't come to Shendu with my brother?"

Mi Ke nodded, "The mountains are high and the roads are far away, so let her stay in her hometown."

Chen Chao suddenly realized, "No wonder."

Mi Ke was also famously henpecked when he was in Tianqing County. If his wife were here, she would definitely not have these thoughts.

"Brother, don't think blindly. Brother, I just love my wife. You are not thinking the same thing." Mi Ke touched his beard, feeling like a gentle scum.

Chen Chao said with a smile, "I didn't say anything, but what I said makes some sense. You should go to these places, just to see the world."

Mi Ke smiled knowingly.

After a pause, Mi Ke lowered his voice and asked, "I think today's court meeting is abnormal. You are well-informed. Tell me, did those courtiers go outside the palace gate a few days ago?"

Is the trouble going to be sorted out? "

Chen Chao shook his head, "It has nothing to do with that matter. I want to climb up, but I guess it's not the right time yet."

Mi Ke smiled awkwardly when the Chen Chao in front of him revealed what he was thinking. Being an official in the city of God is like a carrot and a trap. It is not easy to change to another trap.

The two of them stepped into the corridor of the imperial city, and walked out from here, and arrived in front of the hall. Mi Ke sighed, "Many people's lives are just kowtow step by step. When they can enter the hall, most of them are gray-haired, but even so, they feel it is worth it." Chen Chao smiled and said nothing. This is the portrayal of the life of most ordinary people. However, Chen Chao soon smiled and said, "Brother, if you work hard as an official, you will rise to prominence one day." Mi Ke also smiled and said, "Then I will borrow your good words." After that, Mi Ke walked into the ranks of civil servants, and Chen Chao came behind Song Lian. This time, the left and right guards were in a row, and Chen Chao, as the deputy commander of the left guard, naturally stood behind Song Lian. However, even so, he was the only one with a sword, which still attracted the attention of countless court officials. …

…

The court meeting was held. At the beginning, the emperor and a group of ministers who could be said to be the pillars of the country discussed government affairs in the hall, and those court officials who were not qualified to enter could only stand outside and wait. In fact, it was fine if the weather was sunny. If it rained, most of the court officials here, who were thin, would get sick.

However, although it did not rain today, it was already autumn, and the weather was getting colder, and many civil officials were pale.

So being an official is not easy, and it is not just talk, but compared with this, the power, wealth and fame brought by sitting in an official position will still make many people happy.

Compared with civil officials, military officials are not afraid of those wind and rain.

Chen Chao waited for more than an hour, and even he felt a little irritated. He was very glad that the garrison envoys did not have to go to court on weekdays.

Fortunately, the court officials in the hall soon filed out and walked into the court officials' queue. This meant that the first meeting of the court had ended. Next, it was the major event that the entire Divine City was paying attention to.

His Majesty the Emperor walked out slowly in his imperial robe, and Li Heng followed closely behind him.

This was the first time that the Emperor of Daliang, who had experienced the pain of losing his daughter, showed up in these days. He was still the same as before, without any difference.

After a pause, Li Heng walked out from behind the emperor and came to the jade steps, and then began to read the imperial edict in his hand aloud. "Two hundred and fifteen years after the founding of Daliang, Emperor Taizu began to build the Great Wall of the North. After that, countless Daliang men fought for the human race to ensure the stability of Daliang for more than two hundred years, and there would be no more disasters in the past Qi..." Li Heng's voice was flat, but every word was heard by the court officials present. Although Daliang Dynasty failed to completely stop the rampant monsters in the country for more than two hundred years, the Great Wall of the North had never been breached by the monsters, and even had a great victory last year, which made Daliang more peaceful. "In the peaceful situation, the threat of the monsters has always been there. We must be prepared for danger in times of peace. I, the Demon Emperor Chixinguan Master and I met with the three parties and decided to use the land of Mobei Plain to select young cultivation talents to enter the training..." Li Heng read the imperial edict, but his eyes were always on Chen Chao. Chen Chao sighed silently. This matter was understandable. It was nothing more than that the three parties of the demon clan, Daliang and Fangwai all wanted to see each other's bottom.

After all, before this, whether it was the Wanliu Club or the war between Daliang and the demon clan, the former was not painful, and the latter was only a war between those cultivators, and there had never been a real fight between young cultivators.

Song Lian whispered, "It's really a business that could cost you your life."

Chen Chao smiled bitterly, but did not speak.

"I have discussed with the nobles, is there a suitable candidate?"

After Li Heng stepped back, the Emperor of Daliang finally spoke.

As for the previous ones, they were all unilateral announcements by the Emperor of Daliang, and they did not give them the opportunity to object.

This is the will of the Emperor of Daliang. Some things can be discussed, but some things are never within the scope of discussion.

Only at this moment, all the eyes of the crowd fell on Chen Chao, but Chen Chao just turned his head and looked at the Tianyu Academy. The leader was a vice dean, and there was no sign of the dean.

Chen Chao was actually very curious about the dean of Tianyu Academy, but for some reason, even the garrison commander and the general came to the grand court meeting, but the dean of Tianyu Academy seemed to have never shown up.

Now that the candidates are selected, of course he will be one of them, but Tianyu Academy is a place where Daliang and Fangwai deal with each other, there are many young monks in it, and there must be some people, but why haven't I seen the dean of Tianyu Academy?

Before Chen Chao could think about it.

A voice suddenly sounded.

"I recommend Chen Chao, the deputy commander of the Left Guard!"
