The fat man sighed and said helplessly: "In this form, the various state capitals are still under the control of the imperial court on the surface, but in essence, the important positions in various places have been mastered by the disciples sent by the various sects. I'll work harder,"

Seeing that the fat man suddenly stopped and looked at himself with an abnormal expression, Zhou Shaoan couldn't help but touch his face and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"Well, that's not true, little brother, you shouldn't be a cultivator, right?" the fat man asked cautiously.

It turned out that he only reacted halfway through speaking, thinking that Zhou Shaoan was also a disciple of the sect in which state capital, after all, he looked so young.

It seems that he was frightened, and it seems that the form is not optimistic, and it is worse than he imagined. Seeing the fat man looking at himself with a worried face, Zhou Shaoan smiled faintly: "I'm not a disciple of the sect. ”

"Oh, then I'm relieved. Now in this world, we ordinary people who don't have the talent for cultivation can only be careful, careful, and careful. When did this kind of frightened days come to an end, I have become thinner. The fat man patted his chest and complained.

Looking at the fat man's three-hundred-pound figure, patting his chest, the fat on his chest swayed layer by layer, Zhou Shaoan couldn't help but roll his eyes, you are still embarrassed to say that you are thin?

Maybe it was seeing Zhou Shao'an's rolling eyes, the fat man seemed to be aware of his body shape, and coughed embarrassedly: "I'm fat, hehe, fat." ”

Zhou Shaoan ignored his defense and asked directly: "You just said to be careful, what are you careful about?" and ask the seniors to give the little brother some guidance, so that the little brother can avoid it. ”

Hearing this senior, the fat man seemed to come to his senses all of a sudden, looked left and right, and saw that no one around him was paying attention to his side, so he put his head close to Zhou Shao'an, lowered his voice and said: "You don't know, now all important positions are controlled by the disciples of the sect, and these disciples are basically not valued in the sect. ”

"So what, no matter how much they are taken seriously, they are immortal cultivators after all. There should always be some discipline on duty, right? What's so careful about this?" Zhou Shaoan pushed the fat man's head.

"Hehe, you're really naïve, you're a young man after all. The fat man seemed to be very dissatisfied with Zhou Shao'an's interruption of his words, and he smiled and turned around to leave.

"Could it be that there is another reason for this?" Zhou Shaoan hurriedly grabbed the fat man, picked up a fruit from the table and stuffed it in his hand, and pulled him to sit down together.

"Don't worry about the juniors, is there something I don't know about this? ”

Looking at the fruit in his hand, the fat man took a big bite before continuing: "Forget it, there are fewer officials like us who are appointed by the imperial court now. I will make it clear to you, lest you die inexplicably in the future. ”

Zhou Shao'an felt a chill in his heart: "Could it be that now these immortal cultivators from other state capitals dare to kill the officials of the imperial court?"

"How do you think those vacant important positions are vacated? They can still give you some face and let you go home to retire after consciously abdicating. But if you don't agree, if you don't realize it, you basically won't see anyone the next day, and you won't see anyone in the future. The fat man whispered to Zhou Shaoan while eating.

What Zhou Shaoan didn't know was that the Shangqing Sect did the same, but for those who resisted desperately, they were just forcibly sent away. This is true of the other slightly tougher sects. Let his disciples hold the authority of a state, and then get the income directly back to the sect. The imperial court is simply an empty shell.

After chatting with the fat man, he returned to the room assigned to him by the imperial court, and Zhou Shao'an felt heavy for a while. At present, it seems that the situation faced by Zhou Weiyang is definitely not optimistic, although except for the traitors in the DPRK and China, there is no restraining force. But this is the front door to drive wolves, and the back door to enter the tiger, in order to get rid of Yan Songyuan, he destroyed the national protection array, is this a gain or a loss?

Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng: "Since the incident has happened, it is useless to talk about it now." But judging from what the fat man just said, it's not the worst, and now it's about the same as the situation back then, in terms of power alone, it's still your royal family a little stronger. It's a big deal to reunify. ”

Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty: "Yes, at least it's stronger than me at the beginning, I don't have any foreign aid, I really can't do it." ”

Han Gaozu Liu Bang: "Okay, okay." Don't talk crookedly, the death of the country is incompetence, why are you making so many excuses?"

Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty: "The old country is unbearable to look back at the moonlight." ”

Tang Taizong Li Shimin: "Why is this talking again?"

Seeing that this group of people was arguing again, Zhou Shaoan directly blocked the group chat interface and started "The Secret Spectrum of Canglan". To be honest, although this Canglan Secret Spectrum was exchanged for five hundred cultivation points, it felt very useful to Zhou Shao'an at this stage.

Not to mention the power, just in terms of the degree of aura absorbed, Zhou Shaoan felt that he was more than a step stronger than his basic exercises in the Shangqing Sect. In particular, Zhou Shao'an's eight veins of the Qi Jing have all been tempered by the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon", and they have been reborn, and their cultivation speed has increased by more than ten times.

I had been practicing the exercises all night, and in the morning it was already noisy outside before dawn. Then someone came to urge Zhou Shaoan to go out and prepare to participate in the ceremony.

Zhou Shao'an stopped running the exercises, and felt that through the cultivation at night, his cultivation had obviously advanced a little more, which was the effect of eating Na Yuan Dan before.

After going out, Zhou Shaoan found that there were already many people outside, whether it was a Beijing official or a magistrate, all of them were wearing official court clothes, and they were gathered outside in twos and threes to talk. Zhou Shaoan looked at the court clothes on his body, turned his head and glanced in the direction of his room, and smiled, "I'm sorry, brother, who made you look closest to me?"

After another quarter of an hour, the sky was completely bright, and only then came out of the palace a team of guards, the first person Zhou Shao'an had seen, it was a woman in the Shadow Secret Guard Fengzi Camp, it seemed that Zhou Weiyang attached enough importance to this ceremony.

Just when Zhou Shao'an followed the big team into the palace, Zhou Weiyang was angry in the palace: "What are you doing to eat? It's been a few days, and you can't find Brother Wang under your nose? What's the use of asking you to shadow the secret guard? If it's an assassin, do you have to wait for my head to hit the ground before you can find him?"

"Your Majesty is angry, his subordinates did send all the shadow guards to find Prince Rui, but firstly, there are too many floating populations in the imperial city, and secondly, Prince Rui seems to be deliberately avoiding us. Therefore, I have not been able to find Prince Rui for the past few days. Zhou Jing knew that Her Majesty the Empress would definitely be angry if she couldn't find Prince Rui, so she hurriedly explained.

"Hmph, didn't you say that Brother Wang has been abolished by the old dog of Yuyangzi, how can he escape your tracking?" Zhou Weiyang questioned.

"On that note, it should be good news. According to the information obtained by his subordinates through tracking, his subordinates took the liberty of guessing that Prince Rui was very likely not to be abolished for cultivation, or that he had some adventures and re-cultivated. That's why it's hard for us to find, after all, if a monk wants to hide, it's still very simple. "After so many years, Zhou Jing has long figured out the empress's temper, she just got the news of Prince Rui, so she didn't want to wait any longer.

"What you said is true?" Of course, Zhou Weiyang knew that Zhou Jing would not lie to herself, but she still wanted to confirm it.

After seeing Zhou Jing nodding, Zhou Weiyang relieved himself. Then he commanded: "All right, the hour is coming, go out and prepare for the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens." ”

The two of them walked out of the hall together, and they seemed to let go of their worries.
