"Daddy, ...... he doctor?" the second princess asked carefully.

"I know your doubts, don't be curious, Doctor Du is just an ordinary person. Qin Huang explained.

"Also, don't be distracted by the things in the Champion Pavilion in the future, concentrating on cultivation is what you need to do now, and striving to become an inner disciple of the Absolute Peak Sect is your top priority, you know?"

"Yes, my daughter knows. The second princess nodded.

At this time, a guard ran over and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Du is here." ”

"Well, call him over. Qin Huang clapped his hands, got up and said, "Daughter, you go down first." ”

"Goodbye, Daddy. The second princess bent down slightly and walked to the bridgehead.

I happened to meet Dr. Du who came from the other side.

Doctor Du's eyes lit up, and he saluted the second princess, "Hello, second princess." ”

The second princess smiled slightly, nodded her head, and continued to walk forward.

"Lord Du, let's hurry up, the emperor is still waiting. General Zhou, who was beside Doctor Du, urged.

Dr. Du walked quickly to the small pavilion, knelt down and shouted long live.

"Haha, Doctor Du, you don't have to be polite, just calm down. Emperor Qin said.

"Emperor Xie, I don't know what the emperor has to do with Wei Chen?"

"We talked as we walked. Emperor Qin pointed around the courtyard and walked first, followed by Du Yi and Zhou Hu.

The three of them circled the stream and shuttled between the paths.

Emperor Qin got straight to the point first.

"Doctor Du, I have investigated you, you have knowledge, courage, and a kind heart, and you are loyal to the Qin State, a talent like you is the best to be an inspector in the palace. ”

Doctor Du's heart trembled, the inspector, to put it bluntly, is the supervisor, corruption, favoritism, collusion, etc., are the tasks of the inspector.

The power is monstrous.

Then Emperor Qin continued: "But do you know why the imperial court didn't arrange for you to be an inspector on that day?"

Doctor Du thought about it and said what he thought was the best answer.

"Maybe it's who I am. ”

"I was born as a farmer, and I have no prestige in the government and the opposition, so as soon as I was admitted to the top rank, I immediately became an inspector...... It doesn't make sense to think about it. ”

"The other is Xue Taixian, he has a noble status and strong ability, if I overshadow him that day, I may be criticized in the future, and it will be difficult for you to do it, Your Majesty, so you simply won't arrange my position that day. ”

"And there's.... It took a few days for the emperor to collect my information, so as to arrange my suitable position, and the emperor's hard work and hard work could not be rewarded. ”

Emperor Qin stroked his beard and laughed, "I really didn't misunderstand you! Doctor Du, you make me very satisfied!"

Doctor Du smiled, hugged his fists and said, "Thank you for your praise." ”

"What is rare is your loyalty, unlike other people in the court, who either have a high sky and are far away from the emperor and act as a prestige outside, or they form a faction to consolidate their power, and they just stay out of the matter and do nothing. ”

"It has caused the entire Qin State to be in a miasma, and the government and the opposition are shaken, which is really a headache for me. ”

That's all too obvious......... Doctor Du complained in his heart.

But when the opportunity comes, it is natural to seize it.

Doctor Du immediately knelt on the trail and said loudly, "The minister is willing to share the emperor's worries and serve the Qin State." ”

"Very well, Dr. Du. ”

"I believe you have heard of the flood in Mucheng in the south, and the plague there is serious, many officials are reluctant to go there to serve, and your medical skills are good, plus you are a farmer, the position of the city lord of Mucheng is very good. ”

"It is undoubtedly a great thing for the people that thousands of acres of fertile land can be restored, and I believe that your prestige among the people will also reach its peak at that time, and it will be easy for you to become an inspector. ”

"Doctor Du, do you understand?"

"The minister understands that he will live up to the emperor's expectations. Doctor Du's tone was categorical.

Emperor Qin nodded with satisfaction and said to General Zhou beside him.

"Zhou Hu, the bandits and grass bandits in the Mucheng area are wandering seriously, and there are many cultivators among them, you must protect Doctor Du, if you have any questions, you will be asked!"

Zhou Hu took the order. General Zhou knelt down on one knee.

"Alright, you two get up. ”

"Your Majesty, Emperor. ”

With the pace, the three of them gradually walked to the door of the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion, and just as Du Yi and Zhou Hu were about to leave, Emperor Qin said again.

"By the way, Doctor Du, the palace is only three days away from Mucheng, you don't need to be in a hurry when you take office, a week later will be the birthday banquet of the fourth prince, and it will not be too late to leave at that time." ”

When Doctor Du heard this, he asked carefully, "That... All the military officials at the banquet will attend?"

Emperor Qin replied, "That's natural, you can look at the four princes." ”

"Minister... Compliance. ”

After that, Doctor Du returned to the Zhuangyuan Mansion, along with Zhou Hu and his 100 elite soldiers.

Fortunately, the Champion Mansion is big enough, and the elite soldiers are not a delicate young master.

Immediately, the Zhuangyuan Mansion became lively.

The matter of Du Yi's appointment as the city lord of Mucheng quietly spread, and most officials were surprised that a new champion Yuan Lang actually wanted to go to the place where the plague and the mountain bandits were wanton, which couldn't help but make people feel pity.

It was a place of sin.

Of course, there are a few people who don't think so, and Xue Taehyun is one of them.

On the top of a towering snow-capped mountain, a snow-white palace was built here, which could not be found at all from a distance, and the terrain was steep, and the ice picks dozens of meters long hung side by side under the palace, like the teeth of a giant dragon, with a cold light.

A mountain road winds over the snow-capped mountains, and the palace is connected at the end.

At the entrance, the ice carved plaque exudes a biting chill, and it is engraved with two huge words: Snow House!

In the mansion, Xue Taixian sat cross-legged in the secret room, two crystal clear cold ice were placed on the left and right, and the slight cold air was like fine smoke, which was slowly inhaled by Xue Taixian.

Suddenly, the two pieces of ice clicked, shattered, and fell to the ground as rubble.

Xue Tae-hyun opened his eyes, and nine white vortices the size of basins bloomed from him, and an illusory ice sculpture mansion appeared behind Xue Tae-hyun.

"Bang bang. Applause rang out in the chamber.

An old man with a hunchback appeared in the chamber, his body shaped like withered grass and covered with bones.

"Taixian, your talent is much higher than that of your father and your two elder brothers, you have a Xuanfu phantom at the age of twenty-three, depending on the degree of condensation of your phantom, you can enter the Xuanfu realm in less than half a year. ”

Xue Taixian put away the nine vortices, stood up, and said, "Teacher Miao, how can there be such a good entry in the Xuanfu Realm, I have been stuck in the Huiyan Realm for two years. ”

"Haha, don't be in a hurry, ordinary cultivators' eyes are no bigger than the palm of your hand, but yours is as big as a basin, and the qi required is several times that of others, you are considered fast. ”

The old man touched his beard, and his eyes were full of satisfaction.

Xue Taexian clenched his fists and said with some annoyance.

"It's a pity that Emperor Qin handed over the affairs around Mucheng to that Du Yi, and my plan had to be postponed again. ”

The old man nodded and said, "Don't be in a hurry about this, I think we can start with that ordinary person named Du Yi, such as.... Bring him over, and then Taehyun, won't your plan go on as usual?"

Xue Tae-hyun pondered for a few seconds and said, "I'm not familiar with this person, but it's necessary to contact him to confirm his position." ”

Xue Tae-hyun walked out of the secret room and into the courtyard outside.

"Xue'an!"

"Young Master, what are your orders?" a young man named Xue'an walked out quickly.

"Prepare a few gifts and accompany me on the prince's birthday next Thursday. ”

"Yes, young master. ”

A week is long and short.

The birthday party of the fourth prince Qin Xin was held as scheduled, and the venue was in the imperial garden in the palace.

And Du Yi learned through Zhou Hu's mouth that this time not only the civil and military officials of the Qin State, but also some big cultivators with heads and faces came.

First of all, the gift should not be low-grade, at least in line with the identity of the champion.

The second is that you can't be presumptuous at the banquet, otherwise the emperor can't save the emperor if you provoke that power.

The third is the food at the banquet, some of which are offered to the cultivators, and they contain a lot of energy, so don't eat them by mistake.

And so on.

Doctor Du's head was dizzy when he heard this, he didn't understand this, so he simply asked Zhou Hu to buy gifts and other things.

At noon, Doctor Du and Zhou Hu went to the Imperial Garden.

At this time, the Imperial Garden was already full of people and lively.

happened to meet Zhang Chu on the way, and he was quite familiar with him, and the three of them entered the imperial garden together.

As soon as he stepped in, a man shouted at the door.

"Yo, Zhang Chu, it's a coincidence. ”

Zhang Chu smiled and greeted, "It's Lord Song." ”

Then he whispered to Doctor Du, "That person is called Song Tiande, who is a celebrity in the eyes of the prime minister and is in charge of finances." ”

Song Tiande is not tall, very thin, dressed very casually, and has a branch in his mouth, looking very loose.

"It's Lord Du, hello, hello. Song Tiande grinned and hugged his fists, which can be regarded as a face.

Doctor Du smiled and nodded, but he didn't bring any official arrogance.

"Just run into you, let's go, together. Song Tiande and Zhang Chu were very familiar, leaning on Zhang Chu, like an old buddy.

"Isn't the banquet here?" Zhang Chu wondered.

"This is the periphery, see a few little eunuchs over there, give them your gifts, and then they read them out loud, let's go in again. ”

Song Tiande touched his chest and looked at the few little eunuchs over there speechlessly.

At this time, Doctor Du quipped, "Listening to Lord Song's tone, it seems to be a little helpless?"

"Alas, Master Du, you don't know, although I, Song Tiande, am in charge of the country's finances, and thousands of taels of silver flow in my palms one day, but I can only touch and not use, I am the poorest one in the government and the opposition. ”

Song Tiande shook his head, and the branches on his mouth shook left and right.

"It just so happens that we.... Also poor. Doctor Du and Zhang Chu looked at each other and laughed out loud.

"Hehe, why else am I pulling you two in together?"

Song Tiande shook his eyebrows and pretended to make a grimace.

The three of them talked very well, quite like an old friend who had known each other for a long time.

Slowly came to the little eunuchs.

Zhang Chu first took out a wooden box, and when he opened it, there was a jade Buddha inside, which looked like a good carving.

The little eunuch immediately shouted, "Master Zhang Chu, a gold-inlaid jade Buddha." ”

Doctor Du waved his hand and said, "Lord Song?"

Song Tiande touched his head embarrassedly and said, "Master Du, you go first." ”

Doctor Du shook his head, he was looking forward to Song Tiande's gift more and more.

Doctor Du's dark brocade box was handed over to the eunuch.

"Master Du Yidu, a glazed jade orchid. ”

"Damn!" Song Tiande scolded secretly and took out the green porcelain bottle from his arms.

"Lord Song Tiande,...... Cricket... Cricket.... a. ”
