Chapter 288

"Chen Jia, can you go to court tomorrow? It is okay to go to the court as the emperor's mother-in-law, in addition, except for Changcheng, there is no city lord in several other cities now, even if Cheng Hu and Cheng Dong each receive one, Fancheng and Yuancheng are still empty, and they must be arranged. After listening to Chen Jia's analysis, Sun Aoting still has a feeling of having no backbone, God knows what kind of pressure he has to endure every day when he leads the little emperor to the court.

"You can go to the court, but I can't go every day, and about the selection of the master of the Five Cities City, what does the emperor think?" Chen Jia turned to the little emperor, don't look at how old this little kid is, but Chen Jia always thinks that he is a villain, and he has a big idea in his heart!

"I've thought of a set a long time ago, but everyone doesn't listen to me, mother, just accompany me to the court in the future, they all just want to listen to you." The little emperor is still complaining, it seems that at a young age, he has come out of the pain of losing his father and mother, and he is in the emperor's house, which is really different from ordinary children.

"I'll hear you talk about it first." Chen Jia is kind and seductive.

"I'm afraid that if you don't agree, they will all oppose it."

"Me? I'm talking about the candidates for the lord or the lord of several cities. Who's against it? ”

"Well, I think whoever is the city lord can do it, the key is to unify the military power, I want to take back the military power, set up the position of generals and generals, as for the city lord, only need to be responsible for governing the city, and each city lord has three thousand guards. When I said this, the ministers all objected, saying that the feudal marquis was proposed by the first emperor, and I can't be disobedient and unfilial! ”

"Just do as you say, later. You have to learn to let them make their own suggestions and then let you decide, rather than you giving them advice. As for filial piety or not. Where can the filial piety of the emperor's family be reflected in state affairs? I didn't expect that the little emperor, who had only been exposed to it for a few years, would have such political views, and Chen Jia was a little relieved.

Since Sun Aoting can't be the master, let the little emperor make his own decisions.

"I understand, it's the spring plowing season soon, and I want to allocate some money and grain subsidies from the treasury to the poor families who have received the war. If the victims do not have food seeds, the national treasury will have no income in the future, and the household receiving department always says that the national treasury is empty now. If you don't have money, what should you do? ”

"Didn't your master teach you?" Chen Jia asked with a gentle smile.

"No, Master said let me ask you, saying that you are the most profitable person in the world."

"Who is your master?" Chen Jia was surprised. Doesn't this bring bad children? What is the most profitable for me? I, Chen Jia, are busy worrying about state affairs every day tomorrow, and I don't even have time to worry about my marriage now. Where is the time to make money?

"Master is the dean of Shengjing Academy, and he is also your teacher."

"Well, it turned out to be him......" Chen Jia understood, it seemed that he had to talk to him well.

……

Without glory, the palace is extremely deserted. Sun Aoting sent Chen Jia out of the palace, and the two discussed the preparations for the visit of the monarch of Li Shengguo while walking.

"Brother Sun. I think it's okay for you to accompany him this time, he came to know if we can protect ourselves now, you just need to be confident. Chen Jia recalled Li Shengguo's always sad face, and was actually very curious about what he wanted to do.

"I just think that having a relationship with Princess Ruoyun makes Cheng Dong's reception more appropriate." Sun Aoting still advocates playing the family card.

"It's very proper, but what he wants to know is not whether Ruoyun is doing well, but what is the current situation of Shenghe, to be honest, the old monster of Wuji Country has not yet been found, before he appears, we must hurry up and prepare for war, and we must quickly restore Nongsang, otherwise, Lin Mufeng and Wu Kunpeng are not idle people, so they will not give up easily. When he visits at this time, he should also pay attention to his thoughts, if he thinks that Shenghe only relies on Ruoyun to maintain peace with Li Shengguo, I am afraid that he will also be ready to move. ”

"I understand, Chen Jia, what if that old monster reappears." Sun Aoting asked.

Chen Jia lowered his head and thought about it, Chen Jia was actually most worried about the appearance of the old monster, he was expecting that there was a weapon similar to a dragon's head crutch behind the stone gate that could stop him, but now not only did he not have it, but he also lost the only dragon head crutch, if his own drawings can successfully create a new hot weapon, at least he can suppress Lin Mufeng and Wu Kunpeng, as for the old monster, how can he be more sure if he has a hot weapon.

"I'm thinking about it, let's take it one step at a time, I hope the old monster won't appear too soon."

"Hmm. I also heard about my cousin's situation, and I also sent people to inquire about the handsome Taoist chief you asked people everywhere, and I asked about all Taoist temples, but in the end I heard that it was a Taoist priest of Ziyun Temple, but he went out with the master and did not return. ”

"Purple Cloud View?" Chen Jia looked at Sun Aoting in surprise, he had only seen a few old Taoist priests when he went to get the dragon head crutch before, but Liuyun once said that the handsome guy Taoist was very young, so he didn't think to ask.

"Yes, there is an old Taoist priest who is still watching, do you want to ask again?"

"Yes, of course." Chen Jia smiled, the handsome guy Dao Chang's elixir is very magical, if he can find him, even if his skills can't recover quickly, as long as Jiang Youchun can wake up quickly, he can rest assured, if he can know what happened behind the stone gate, it would be even better, and the key is that Chen Jia wants to ask him, why is he a "handsome guy" Dao Chang? Thinking of this, Chen Jia's mood became even more urgent. "Brother Sun, the little emperor has handed it over to you, I'll ask now, I'll arrive tomorrow morning."

"Okay, then I won't send it."

"Well, Brother Sun, go back."

Chen Jia waved his hand and walked out of the palace quickly, riding straight to Ziyun Temple. Sun Aoting smiled when he saw this, and turned back to the palace elegantly.

"Uncle, Chen Jia, is she really willing to help us? If she doesn't give the Cheng family a fief, won't she be angry? As soon as Sun Aoting walked through a palace, he found that the little emperor was waiting for him.

"Your Majesty, don't call your uncle uncle." Hearing such a question, Sun Aoting's face instantly turned cold.

"Uncle, what's wrong. Did I do something that made my uncle unhappy? The little emperor shook Sun Aoting's arm and looked at Sun Aoting worriedly, not knowing where he had offended him.

"You have recognized her as a mother. It is necessary to always remember the love between mother and son, in my opinion, what she said, not only will she do it, but she will also do more than you think, better and better, the emperor should not doubt her good in front of people in the future. Otherwise, I am afraid that it will hurt the relationship between the mother and son of the monarch and the minister. Looking at the immature face of the little emperor. Sun Aoting was a little soft-hearted.

"I see, uncle." The little emperor let go of the hand holding Sun Aoting, and a coldness that did not match his age appeared on his face.

……

Chen Jia hurried to Ziyunguan. Sure enough, I saw that there was an old Taoist cleaning the gym inside.

"Old fairy." Chen Jia saluted.

"The county lord must be polite." The old Taoist saw that it was Chen Jia, and hurriedly returned the salute. "I wonder what happened to the county lord coming to the gym again?"

"Last time, didn't you say you were leaving the Taoist temple?" Chen Jia didn't answer him.

"Go back to the county lord, because I remember that the lord still has something to take care of. So I didn't go. ”

"Oh. I'm here to ask about the handsome man, I want to find him, where can I find him? "The reason why Chen Jia came here in person was actually hoping that a miracle would happen, such as suddenly meeting a handsome guy and a Taoist chief, or being able to meet him immediately.

"I'm afraid the county lord is going to be disappointed, the handsome guy Dao Chang is our apprentice of the Purple Cloud Lord, a few years ago. The master of the temple took this apprentice when he left the hall and traveled outside, but he only came back once. I took him out again, and I don't know where he is now. ”

"So the Purple Cloud Sect Master is proficient in the art of elixir?" Chen Jia pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes flashed.

"Exactly. It's just that the lord always says that we old bones are all mediocre in talent and have never taught the art of elixir, so the county lord should go back. ”

"Isn't there any way to find them?" Hearing this, Chen Jia was extremely depressed, and asked again without giving up.

"This, the master has always asked us to take care of the formation of the dragon's head crutches, and before we left last time, we left a pill, saying that if the phoenix girl came, it could be given away." The old Taoist priest was extremely embarrassed.

"Feng Nu? What phoenix girl? ”

"The viewer just said that, who is the phoenix girl, and what she looks like, I didn't say anything!" The old Taoist priest was an honest man.

"Can I take a look at that elixir, then? Maybe I'm the phoenix girl! At this time, Chen Jia didn't want to hide it.

"Please come with me." The old Taoist didn't say yes or no, but took Chen Jia and walked towards the Sanqing Hall behind the Dao Hall.

"Right there." The old man pointed to a green jade box next to the Buddhist shrine and said.

Chen Jia walked over suspiciously, the green jade box was really extravagant, raised his eyes and looked ahead, in this seemingly decadent hall, several Tianzun statues in the Sanqing Hall were all brilliant, and there was no dilapidated image at all, which was even more amazing.

Chen Jia saluted with one hand to the Tianzun above, and went to get the jade box. With the jade box in hand, Chen Jia found out that this jade turned out to be warm jade, and it was very warm to start, and Chen Jia was surprised. didn't have time to think too much, so Chen Jia opened the jade box.

"This ......" Chen Jia was a little dumbfounded, there was a small jade box in the jade box, but there was a letter on it, and there were four big characters on the envelope, "Feng Nu personally opened".

Feng Nu again, do you mean me?

Chen Jia beat a drum in her heart and opened the envelope tremblingly.

Quickly browsing the contents of the letter, Chen Jia hurriedly put the letter away, carefully put it into his arms, and then opened the jade box, and saw the pill as small as a soybean inside, Chen Jia also quickly put it away.

"Sure enough, Feng Nu is the county lord?" The old man looked at Chen Jia's actions, a little puzzled and a little overwhelmed. He didn't know if he was doing the right thing, but he did.

"Undoubtedly, if you don't worry, when he returns, tell him to let him go to the plains to find me." Chen Jia settled down, said goodbye and rode away.

"Master, what kind of elixir is it?" Ah Jiu followed all the way, but he couldn't hold back in the end, and came up to ask.

"Recovery Pill, my life with Brother Yang was hanging by a thread that day, and it was this pill that saved my life." Chen Jia smiled proudly.

"Sure enough, it's a good elixir, it's just that the master's look just now, Ah Jiu still thinks it's a particularly mysterious elixir?" Ah Jiu smiled a little embarrassedly.

"That's not it, it's just that the letter says it's for Feng Nu, and I'm not a Feng Nu, so if I don't pretend, how can I bring this pill out smoothly?" Chen Jia grinned, if he didn't know what the pill was, forget it, now he knows that it is the Restoration Pill, Jiang Youchun is in need of it, how can he give up easily, as for the phoenix girl or not the phoenix girl, the old way will come to question, and he will say that he is the owner of Feifeng Tower, and he will hang up with the phoenix character anyway.

"I see." Ah Jiu couldn't help laughing. Thinking of Chen Jia's performance just now, it was really as if he had seen something particularly confidential and urgent, which made him dare not ask more questions for a while.

"I'll give this to the Duchess of Guo now, and ask her to bring it over to the Marquis of Anding."

"Send a few people to protect it, such a precious elixir, once you lose it, it will be troublesome." Ah Jiu proposed.

"Well, arrange for a few Feifeng members to escort them along the way, and send the Duchess of Guo and Rong Guogong to the county lord's mansion safely."

"Yes."

……

With such an unexpected gain, Chen Jia finally let go of a big stone in his heart, as long as Jiang Youchun can wake up smoothly, the mystery can be solved.

When he came to the Guogong Mansion, he handed over the pill to the Duchess of Guo in person, and after telling how to get the elixir, the Duchess of Guo did not doubt it when she heard that it was the medicine practiced by the Lord of Ziyun Temple, so she only carefully accepted it, and invited Chen Jia to taste tea together.

"Does the Duchess know anything about the Lord?" Chen Jia took a sip of tea and asked suspiciously.

"There was indeed a capable person in the Purple Cloud View who could practice the pill, but when the emperor was in power, he was asked to sell the pill he practiced to the palace, and outsiders couldn't buy it, and later, I heard that the disciples in the Purple Cloud View were too low in talent, and no one could practice the pill, so he fell from then on." The Duchess of Guo is worthy of being a person who has been in the circle of saints and nobles for many years, but what Chen Jia doesn't know, she knows.

"I see, it seems that forced buying and selling makes the viewer very disgusted." Presumably the stingy Chu Xiuyu refused to spend a lot of money, otherwise why would the gym be so dilapidated?

"It should be, in fact, the Lord of the Purple Cloud View is proficient in astronomical hexagrams, and he used to divinate for the royal family every year, and the Purple Cloud View was also very prosperous, after Chu Xiuyu became in power, he didn't believe it very much, a few years ago, the Lord of the Purple Cloud View was not returned, I am afraid that when he divined the hexagram, he first knew that the world was going to be in chaos."

"If he really has the ability to predict the future, then if I go to get medicine today, will he also know?" Chen Jia rolled her eyes, a little confused.

"I'm afraid not, divination also needs to cost longevity or something, the Purple Cloud Observatory is only less than thirty years old, it is said that it looks like it is about to die, and I am afraid that a pill will not go to divination." Duchess Guo said with a smile while refilling Chen Jia's water.

"I'll do it myself." Chen Jia was a little apprehensive, if Jiang Youchun woke up, the Duchess of Guo would soon be her mother-in-law, how could she let the elders refill her cup?

"Chen Jia, there was a mother-daughter relationship between you and me, and there was no need to be formal."

"Thank you, madam, when the eldest brother wakes up, if he asks, I will say that I will return to the plain when the monarch of Li Shengguo leaves."

"Okay, I remember." (To be continued......)
