Chapter 20 Deceived

The emperor not only admired Cai Xuanfu's miraculous ability, but at the same time was jealous of his supernatural powers, and he was really confused and hesitant. But for the sake of the stability of the country and the imperial power, he must endure the pain and make a despicable act, if Cai Xuanfu wants to really be willing to help him enrich the country and strengthen the people first, he has to change the method - to give him softness, he is full of joy, he can naturally serve the court, and he also shows his courtesy corporal. And he knew that Cai Xuanfu liked to show himself in front of people and loved to listen to praise. So he prepared a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and then wrote a powerful letter that could attract Cai Xuanfu, only to see that it was written:

Xuanfu Aiqing: After Pangu opened the world in the past, Dayu ruled the water and cast Kyushu. Therefore, the majestic place, the famous mountains and rivers are all attributed here. However, Zhong Lingyuxiu's holy land gave birth to a god like Qing who was deeply versed in miracles, and Qing's talent made the whole city a sensation and attracted worldwide attention. When I heard it, I felt that God had given such strange people in the world. And I Muqing's name, love Qing's talent, think of the virtuous and thirsty, Qing is a rare dragon among the world's people, I hope Qing can go out of the career to benefit the common people? I am determined to repay the high-ranking officials with kindness, and in the coming days, the Qing will be able to soar into the sky, and the history will be called a song for thousands of years.

The emperor wrote this edict and ordered Lang Zhongling to send it to Cai Xuanfu's residence immediately. And Cai Xuanfu's prestige shocked Jinling, no one knows, no one knows, and he knows where he lives as soon as he inquires.

When Cai Xuanfu saw that it was several dignitaries and dignitaries coming, he was terrified, thinking that he had violated some national law, and stammered and asked, "Excuse me...... How many big brothers...... Come here...... Yes...... What's the matter?"

Lang Zhongling replied: "Mr. Cai, we are the servants of the palace, and we are here by the emperor's order to hand over this holy edict to you. ”

Cai Xuanfu was very curious, he was just a small people, how could he drive the emperor to convey the edict to him? He opened this "inexplicable" holy edict with a puzzled look, and when he saw this line of powerful and powerful characters like a dragon, he was very surprised, he really couldn't believe it, thinking that he had seen a flower, and then looked closely, it was still right, and he thought to himself how the emperor could be so important to him.

Then he was surprised and puzzled: "May I ask my lord, is this really the emperor's holy edict?"

Lang Zhongling replied: "Of course, how can the emperor's holy edict be fake? If it is fake, it will destroy the nine clans, how can we have such courage?"

As soon as he heard this, Cai Xuanfu jumped with joy as if he had climbed the magnificent ladder of heaven, shouting: "Yes! I can't imagine that I, Cai Xuanfu, will have today, God really helps me!"

Then he quickly knelt down with great joy and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty." Time can't be delayed, the emperor is still waiting for me, let's hurry to Beijing. ”

Lang Zhongling said: "The sedan chair is waiting outside the door, sir, please." ”

Just as Cai Xuanfu was about to break out of the threshold, he only heard a shout of "big brother", it turned out to be his young sister, who came out of the back room, grabbed him, and asked, "Big brother, where do you want to go?"

Cai Xuanfu patted his head and hurriedly said: "Little sister, I'm really sorry! Big brother has forgotten you when he encounters a great good thing." ”

The little sister was surprised: "What's a good thing?"

Cai Xuanfu hurriedly handed the edict to the little sister, and then said happily: "Little sister, you can see clearly, this time the eldest brother is really going to soar, even the current saint looks at me differently, and wants to make me a big official, do you say you are happy? After the eldest brother goes to Beijing, you have to take care of yourself more, and wait for me to return to my hometown." ”

After Cai Xiaomei carefully read this edict, she was in an unhappy mood, and seemed to be a little heavy, so she hurriedly pulled him aside and said, "Big brother, can you not go?"

Cai Xuanfu thought that his sister would be happy, but why did he persuade him not to go? He was really puzzled and asked, "Why? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if the eldest brother does not go, he will regret it for life." ”

Cai Xiaomei said worriedly: "Big brother, since the death of my parents, our brother and sister have been dependent on each other for many years, the eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister's greatest desire is to live happily with her family, whether it is wearing silk and satin, or coarse cloth and rotten clothes, you will be happy, and besides, you are my dearest and most respectful person, I really don't want you to have anything." ”

Cai Xuanfu was even more puzzled: "Little sister, what do you mean by this? Big brother is going to Beijing to be an official, showing Qingfu, how can you say that something will happen to me, really, Tong Yan Wuji! Tong Yan Wuji! My little sister is young and ignorant, please don't blame God." ”

As soon as the words fell, he immediately prepared to go to Beijing, but Cai Xiaomei still grabbed the corner of his clothes and said worriedly: "Big brother, haven't you heard a word? The emperor is like a fierce tiger, when he is docile, he is allowed to pet his feathers, and when he is powerful, it is like the collapse of mountains and rivers, and the sky is deaf, and it is very dangerous. We should learn from the lessons of our predecessors, take history as a mirror, and hope that our eldest brother can think twice!"

"Little sister, just put your heart in your stomach, if you don't swallow the fat in your hand, how can the eldest brother do it. Besides, if the emperor wants me to go, he must help him change things, as long as he doesn't contradict the emperor, he must obey him, and he will be safe and sound, and the spirit of my parents in the sky doesn't want me to do nothing for a lifetime, I believe in the eldest brother, I will definitely shine on the lintel of the Cai family. ”

Cai Xiaomei saw that her brother had made up her mind, and it was difficult to be quiet in her heart, and she had an intuition that told her that this time, Cai Xuanfu must have something to do when he entered Beijing, so she looked at her eldest brother sadly and said: "Brother, since you have to go, let my little sister see you more, I'm afraid this is the last time I will see you." ”

Hearing this, Cai Xuanfu said angrily: "You kid, how can you speak, curse me, it's really uneducated." Okay, okay, don't be verbose, big brother is gone, you take care. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked out of the house, and saw many people watching outside the house, and they were all talking nonsense. Someone smiled and said: "Cai Gongzi, the emperor is really discerning and has discovered a talent like you." ”

Some people also said: "Cai Gongzi, congratulations to you! Congratulations! In the future, you will become a big official, but you should take more care of us." ”

Someone shouted again: "Cai Gongzi, you are amazing, we have a great noble person like you in Jinling City, we are really blessed in the future!"

In this way, Cai Xuanfu heard everyone's praise one after another, squinted his mouth, and replied arrogantly: "Thank you folks, this is easy to say, I will not forget everyone." ”

As soon as the words fell, he sat in the official sedan chair and traveled thousands of miles to the capital. They quickly entered the palace, and saw that the palace was so splendid, with pavilions and pavilions leading to the clouds, and thousands of magnificence, he really became more and more envious of the supreme authority, thinking that this time it was not wrong, and he would definitely be able to glorify his ancestors, so he was in a happier mood.

After a while, the emperor summoned him.

He came to the imperial study to meet the emperor, kowtowed to him, and shouted "Long live". But who knows, when he looked up, he was stunned, isn't this the son from before? I really didn't expect him to be the current saint.

I saw the emperor say happily: "Mr. Cai, I haven't seen you for a long time, I haven't seen you for many days, and now you meet in the palace, do you have a sudden feeling?"

Cai Xuanfu immediately lowered his head and responded: "Grass people...... The grass people were ignorant that day, offended the face of heaven, and hoped that the saint would forgive their sins!

The emperor seemed to be very exaggerated, and said: "Sir, it is because of your miraculous ability that I will not forget for a long time, and I invite you here today to confer on you the title of high-ranking official to show my love for talent." In this way, I will make you an evergreen order, and the official residence will be the second grade, and you will stay in the palace and accompany me as a director. ”

Cai Xuanfu said happily: "Second grade master." The grass people bow to the emperor! He was full of joy, he didn't expect that as soon as he came here, the emperor would make such a high-ranking official, and he was really getting more and more arrogant, except for the emperor, he would not put anyone in his eyes.

However, the emperor was complacent, and used this strategy to finally enable Cai Xuanfu to enter the palace willingly to serve him, and the official position of appointing him is actually a nominal idleness, the purpose is to stabilize him first, but he is so stupid that he doesn't know it, just thinking that he can go straight to the road of Qingyun,

What will he do when he learns that the Emperor's appointment is actually a waste?
