In the southeast corner of the Zichen Palace in Luojing City, there is an inconspicuous two-story attic.

Different from most of the buildings with red walls and gold tiles in the palace, this building has a black glazed roof, green glazed tiles are trimmed, there is a back-grain railing in front of the pavilion, and a frieze is hung upside down under the eaves.

Behind the lake rocks piled up into a mountain, like a barrier, planted with pines and cypresses.

From a distance, it can be described as simple and elegant, fresh and pleasing to the eye.

The name of this building is "Wenyuan Pavilion".

Its earliest use was to collect books and compile books. Many historical documents in the early days of the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty were compiled in this.

But over time, it gradually evolved into a place for cabinet ministers to work directly.

In the distribution of power in the Great Qi Dynasty, the role of the cabinet was to deal with secular government affairs. The ministers would read the Hundred Officials' Songs, write down the suggestions on a piece of paper, attach them to the Notes, and then give them to the Emperor for decisionβ€”this is called "Ticket Drafting."

Then, according to the "vote" of the cabinet, the emperor will give instructions with a red pen, agree or disagree - this is called "approving red".

It's just that the current emperor of Daqi is obsessed with cultivation and doesn't care about political affairs, so he simply handed over the right to "approve red" to Princess Zhaoning.

Putting the supreme decision-making power of the country's secular government affairs in the hands of a princess who has no inheritance rights is logically extremely inconsistent with the ancestral system.

However, the emperor's cultivation is the highest and his fist is the largest, and no one in the entire court dares to oppose him.

Just like the eunuchs who handed over the power of "approving red" to the eunuchs of the previous Xingde Emperor, no one dared to say a word "no".

So the emperor got his wish and started to be the shopkeeper.

…………

At this moment, the cabinet ministers are gathering in this plain-looking "Wenyuan Pavilion" to discuss national affairs.

An old man with white hair and a python robe sat on the top, looked around at the people present, and said lightly: "There are a few things to discuss with you today. ”

This old man's name is Tan Heming, and he is the chief assistant of the cabinet of the Great Qi Dynasty.

Although he is only a mortal, after all, he has a specialization in art - in recent years, he has been able to grasp the emperor's mind, handle the affairs of Daqi in an orderly manner, plus speak well, and be good at writing gorgeous articles, he has always won the trust of the emperor.

Speaking of this, Tan Shoufu cleared his throat, then looked down at a piece of music on the table, and said slowly: "First of all, it's about the 'Luoshui Conference' that will be held this year...... Due to the approaching long night, Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcism Division, suggested that the rewards given to the leaders of the 'Luoshui Conference' be slightly increased, so as to motivate the young monks of Daqi to cultivate hard. ”

The "Luoshui Conference" is held in Luojing City every five years, and it is the highest level of grand event for practitioners of the Great Qi Dynasty to discuss and discuss the Tao.

Monks from all over the country, regardless of their origins or cultivation, can come and participate.

Big figures such as the Great Qi Emperor, the Five Saints, the heads of the sects, and the heads of the sect lords, who are usually difficult to see, will also come at that time.

It can be said that the "Luoshui Conference" will become an opportunity for the proud sons of the sky to become famous in the world, a way for the disciples of the poor to get ahead, and a channel for the big men to select talents.

"Elder Ge, how can this work?" As soon as Tan Shoufu's voice fell, Yin Quan, a scholar and scholar of the household department, immediately retorted, "Some time ago, the Exorcism Division proposed to create a 'Divine Machine Battalion', which would use more than half of the cultivation resources in the treasury. Unexpectedly, only a few months later, they actually came to the lion again, as if the resources in the treasury were the private property of their exorcist division. We can't let these cultivators come around......"

For this Lord Yin's irritable tone, everyone present was not surprised.

In their impression, this Lord Yin, who was in charge of the financial power of the Great Qi Dynasty, was a veritable "iron rooster" - he guarded the treasury of the Great Qi Dynasty for many years, collecting taxes with great fanfare, and spending money without pulling out a dime.

But the emperor has always praised him, praising him more than once that "although he is not a monk, he has the ability to make money out of thin air".

Therefore, although he often quarrels with other ministers, his position is still as stable as Mount Tai.

Even if he occasionally sneaked the money in the treasury into his pocket, the emperor turned a blind eye to him.

"I haven't finished my words yet," Tan Shoufu interrupted him in a flat tone, "Luo Si Shou hopes to give the leaders of the 'Luoshui Conference' a chance to enter the royal treasury to select magic weapons. ”

Hearing Tan Shoufu say that it was the "Imperial Treasury" instead of the "National Treasury", Yin Shangshu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "Then this matter will be directly handed over to Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”

Tan Shoufu nodded, picked up the pen and quickly wrote the "Ticket Draft" piece of paper, and pasted it on the recital of Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcism Division.

"The second thing," Tan Shoufu then took out the second document and continued to say to everyone present, "This piece of music comes from Wei Jiusi, a thousand households in Qingzhou Mansion in Jiaodong Province.

He said that the spread of the yin qi on the territory of the Yishan Snow Maiden is accelerating, and more and more ordinary people are being eroded by the yin qi and become monsters.

Wei Qianhu hopes that the capital can provide them with some supplies to help nearby residents evacuate dangerous areas. If it drags on any longer, maybe Qingzhou Mansion will be occupied by monsters. ”

"Why is it another one who is here to ask for money?" Yin Shangshu muttered sullenly again.

In the following period of time, he bargained frantically with his three-inch tongue, and finally succeeded in reducing the total amount of materials proposed by Wei Qianhu to half of the original on the grounds that "the treasury is very short of money".

Tan Shoufu glanced at him with a helpless gaze, and thought: With this Shangshu master's bargaining ability, I am afraid that even in front of the aunts in the Luojing City vegetable market, he can be invincible.

"The third and most important thing," Tan Shoufu opened the third document and continued, "This morning, Your Majesty sent someone to send an edict to our Wenyuan Pavilion. ”

Hearing the words "Your Majesty" and "Decree", everyone present raised their heads and looked at Tan Shoufu, who was sitting at the top, and invariably showed a surprised expression.

Because in recent years, Emperor Tianxing has been cultivating wholeheartedly and ignoring the government.

Therefore, he sent someone to send the decree of the cabinet, which is even rarer than the snow ginseng on Yishan Mountain.

"You may have read in the Di newspaper before that the Yishui County Exorcism Division has an experience named 'Gu Xu', who once solved the case of the Lu family's murder house in Qingzhou Mansion and became the owner of the famous 'Jinghong Pen'," Tan Shoufu continued, "And now, he has successfully climbed to the top of Laoshan Mountain and has become the inheritor of the Flying Immortal Kong Xuansan People."

"Your Majesty values his qualifications and talents, and wants to appoint him as a 'scholar', hoping that he can accompany the princes and princesses to study and study in the future, and be an example for the emperor's heirs."

Shi Xiaohan is still sleeping lazily at home.

In fact, she had woken up two hours earlier.

But because she was on vacation today, and it was a very happy thing to sleep by the warm fire in the winter.

So when she woke up, she yawned, rolled over, buried her head in the pillow and continued to sleep.

It's just that the girl's sleeping position has always been very restless.

When the maid Chenxi walked into her bedroom with the letter sent by Gu Xu, her pillow had already fallen to the ground.

As for Shi Xiaohan herself, she was lying on the bed with a big grin, and the quilt had already been kicked into the corner by her, only covering one of her feet.

She wore a pale pink belly pocket and profane pants, embroidered with a pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water, revealing her porcelain-like white and smooth arms and calves; Her long fluffy hair was also scattered, covering half of her small face.

And on the cabinet at the head of her bed, there is a delicate hairpin, a clean white handkerchief, and a small box of biscuits.

"Miss, it's time to get up!" The maid Chenxi came to her side and called softly, "Someone sent you a letter this morning. ”

Chenxi's words interrupted Shi Xiaohan's sweet dream.

She snorted sullenly, her eyes still closed and motionless, as if she had been sealed in the soft bed by a charm.

"Miss, this letter was sent to you by Master Gu from Laizhou Mansion." Seeing that Xiao Han was still lying in bed, the maid Chenxi smiled and continued.

Hearing the words "Master Gu", Shi Xiaohan's heart was shocked, and he immediately stopped pretending to be asleep.

"Show it to me!"

Before Chenxi could answer, she kicked the quilt to the ground, sat up straight suddenly, and snatched the envelope from Chenxi's hand. In her big eyes as clear as apricots, there was no longer the slightest sleep.

Then, she carefully opened the envelope, took out the letter from inside, and saw Gu Xu's delicate and elegant handwriting at a glance.

She knew that Gu Xu's lines were the best.

But in this letter, Gu Xu wrote a dignified, handsome and upright regular script font.

"He must have wanted me to read it less strenuous!" She thought silently as she sat cross-legged on the bed and began to read the letter word by word.

Soon, she read about the fourth prince, Xiao Shangzhen, who disguised her female voice to deceive her opponent in the "Realm of Taoism", and was called "Qilin Girl" by her companions in the "Shenji Battalion".

She suddenly clutched her stomach and laughed, rolling around on the big bed like a kitten.

"Hey, I really didn't expect His Royal Highness the Prince of Daqi to do such a thing......"

After a few minutes, the girl finally calmed down, put one hand on her cheek, and lay on the bed to continue reading the rest of the content.

The black hair was scattered on her smooth and delicate back, and the pink rope of her belly pocket was faintly exposed; The white feet hung in the air, dangling unconsciously.

When she read that Gu Xu had crossed many obstacles and climbed to the top of Laoshan Mountain, her eyes suddenly widened, and she couldn't help but exclaim: "He's so amazing!" ”

However, in the next second, she saw Gu Xu write a sentence in the letter: "Xiao Han, do you think I'm powerful?" ”

She immediately restrained her smile, snorted, and secretly commented in her heart: "This bastard is really floating!" ”

Next, she saw that Gu Xu used a lot of pen and ink to describe the process of getting along with her father, and her words were full of praise and admiration for her father.

A bright smile bloomed on the girl's face againβ€”like ripples of a clear spring, spilling out of the dimples at the corners of her mouth, rippling all over her face.

For Gu Xu and her father getting along well, Shi Xiaohan was sincerely very happy.

In the end, she saw Gu Xu at the end of the letter asking about the supernatural powers she had obtained when she broke through the realm.

"Hmph, I'll tell you when you come back!"

As she spoke, she shoved the letter back into the envelope, and placed it on the bedside cabinet, along with the hairpin, handkerchief, and biscuit box.

At this time, she raised her head and looked at Chenxi beside her: "What breakfast did you prepare today?" Did you make preserved egg and lean pork porridge and soup xiaolongbao according to my request? ”

The maid Chenxi smiled slightly and responded, "Miss, it's time for lunch." ”

Subsequently, with the help of Chenxi, Shi Xiaohan changed into a pink dress, combed his hair into a hanging bun, and wore a mandarin duck pattern inlaid with pearls and gilded hairpins, looking both delicate and noble.

While helping her comb her hair, Chenxi pretended to ask casually, "What did Master Gu write in the letter?" How did you make Miss so happy? ”

"Where do you see I'm happy?" Shi Xiaohan frowned slightly, and replied, "Gu Xu, that arrogant guy, didn't he just climb Laoshan Mountain, he felt that he was very remarkable."

"If this woman also enters the 'Divine Machine Battalion', it is impossible for him to be so arrogant!"

"What does the young lady mean is that Master Gu is actually not powerful at all?" Chenxi said in a mocking tone.

"Don't say that about him!" Hearing this, Shi Xiaohan slapped the table angrily.

Since she had just broken through the third realm, she could not completely control the majestic true yuan in her body for the time being.

So under her strong power, this expensive and exquisitely crafted mahogany table shattered into sawdust with an instant "bang".

Shi Xiaohan was startled, and the whole person jumped up from the chair.

"Chenxi, don't tell my father about this!" She reached out and tugged at Chenxi's sleeve, raised her head to look at her, her eyes were like water.

Chenxi smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly.

She thought to herself: Miss, you lost such a big table, if the master really asked, I wouldn't be able to hide it!

Laizhou Mansion, Tongfu Inn.

Gu Xu was sitting next to the window, holding the cheats of "Dolls" left by the empty Xuansan people in his hand, and was studying it intently.

At this time, he was wearing a scarf and a brand new robe, looking majestic and handsome.

He was glad that the officials of the Exorcism Division could change their torn uniforms for free at the Yamen.

This undoubtedly allowed him to save a lot of money.

According to the description in the cheats, Gu Xu learned that the "puppet" spell of the Kongxuansan people was very different from other puppet techniques.
