Chapter 300: Not inferior to Xu Dingchun in the past

Although it is said that a hero is not judged by his origin, a martial artist cannot just bury his head in practice. It is most common for a good teacher to produce outstanding students.

Bai Yuan's master is Dong Wanjun, who is now a high-ranking official of the second rank. Bai Yuan has also become the general of Lingzhou. The influence of this lineage in the court has begun to show.

The old eunuch has been in the palace for a long time and has extraordinary knowledge. He knows the great potential of these master and disciple, and he must pay attention to them.

He chuckled and said, "Master Bai, His Majesty has another oral order for me to pass on."

Oral instruction?

Bai Yuan was a little surprised.

Not only him, but Kong Sen and many Lingzhou officials were also shocked.

Those who can receive the emperor's oral instructions are all important ministers who are deeply favored by the emperor.

The old eunuch spoke slowly: "He is not inferior to Xu Dingchun in the past. He can be a pillar of the country."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions on everyone's faces were shocked beyond words.

Who is Xu Dingchun?

General Zhenbei, God of War of the Empire!
If the emperor of the time had not been afraid that his achievements would surpass his own, Xu Dingchun would have had a great chance of being one of the Three Dukes, the highest position among ministers.

This shows how strong it is and how high its status is.

Not to mention that this statement was made by the current emperor, so its value is unquestionable.

Kong Sen's eyes flashed with envy.

Bai Yuan felt that it was natural for him to become the general of Lingzhou, but he got the emperor's oral order and the evaluation was so high, which made him a little uneasy.

How far Xuan Yang's official career could go actually depended entirely on the words of that emperor.

Being able to leave a good impression in the heart of His Majesty the Emperor means that you have already surpassed 90% of the officials.

The future is bright!
Kong Sen was even a little jealous.

The officials in front of the government office had different expressions. Those who defected to Bai Yuan were naturally smiling, as they finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel. However, those who defected to Kong Sen were in a much worse mood, especially Chen Danian.

Now Chen Danian is filled with regret.

He is now Lu Sen's number one helper, and will definitely be suppressed by Bai Yuan's faction in the future.

It really is a different time.

Afterwards, the old eunuch symbolically expressed his condolences to all the officials in Lingzhou, and then went to the inn in the city at Bai Yuan's invitation.

Bai Yuan brought the old eunuch and his party to the inn of Shenfumen in Huanglong City.

The old eunuch smiled even more. The reason why he stayed for one more day was naturally to leave some friendship with the young official who had a bright future in front of him.

Bai Yuan and the old eunuch walked into the private room on the top floor of the inn.

The scenery at the highest point is very beautiful. Although it is not as gentle as the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, it has a bit more grandeur that is not often seen in the Central Plains.

"Eunuch Chang, this is Lingzhou's unique rice wine, it has a unique flavor."

There is no feast without wine.

Rice wine is actually not a very precious wine, and some farmers in Lingzhou can afford it.

The rice wine that Bai Yuan brought out naturally has its own unique features.

This wine is brewed from spiritual rice. It tastes spicy and can make martial artists drunk.

The old eunuch was used to the rules of the palace. He raised the wine glass, first sniffed it, then took a small sip, his eyes gleaming.

"What a strong drink!"

He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Such a strong and fiery liquor cannot be found in the Central Plains. It really fits the tough style of the North.

With wine to liven up the atmosphere, the atmosphere in the room will naturally be good.

The innkeeper had actually prepared dozens of dancers long ago, but at the instruction of the young eunuch, they did not enter the room to dance.

Although these old eunuchs have been castrated and have almost lost their functions, it does not mean that they do not like women.

I heard that a senior eunuch of the Imperial Household Department kept hundreds of beautiful maids in a house in Kyoto. As to whether it was true or not, no one in Lingzhou knew, so Bai Yuan had to make full preparations.

There are foot fetishists in the world, but who can say for sure what a fetish is?
Rice wine was very strong, and after only half a pound, Bai Yuan and the old eunuch were both a little tipsy.

The old eunuch was in a very good mood. He hummed a little Kyoto tune and leaned lazily on the couch.

"Master Bai, there is something you need to pay more attention to."

"Although Xuanyang Law has never stipulated that Jianghu people are not allowed to be officials, you were a fourth-rank official before, which was not a big deal, but now you are a third-rank official. It is best to make a choice as soon as possible and not delay your future. His Majesty has always disliked this."

Bai Yuan nodded.

Just like old man Dong before, after becoming the general of Lingzhou, he was no longer the leader of Shenfu Sect.

"Thank you for the reminder, Eunuch Chang. I will never forget this kindness."

Seeing Bai Yuan being so sensible, the old eunuch smiled even more.

Compared with other officials, the eunuchs in the Imperial Household Department actually know more about the intricacies of the palace.

Therefore, when issuing imperial edicts, they would often reveal some of the rules of the palace to those they favored.

It is especially useful for local areas.
Although these rules are not a secret, they are matters of the imperial palace after all, and local officials have almost no way of knowing about them.

But since it was said by the old eunuch, it became a great favor.

This is also an effective trick used by old eunuchs to make friends with officials. It has been tried and tested and the results are often very good.

With affection, the atmosphere will naturally become more harmonious.

The two of them drank until the middle of the night, and the old eunuch was then helped back to his room by the young eunuch.

Bai Yuan covered his head.

This wine is indeed strong enough.

Just as he was about to walk out of the room with unsteady steps, a little eunuch appeared at the door with a smile on his face.

It was the little eunuch who had come to Huanglong Mansion before.

"Congratulations, Master Bai."

Speaking of which, Bai Yuan was promoted twice with the presence of this little eunuch, so he can be considered a lucky star.

"Thank you, Eunuch Huang. I asked my men to prepare some small gifts, which have been sent to the room. I hope you don't mind."

The young eunuch's face lit up with joy when he heard this, and his eyes were filled with envy.

The last time he came to Huanglong Mansion, Bai Yuan was only a fifth-rank official, but after meeting again, he had become a third-rank official.

This speed of promotion is truly terrifying.

It is rare throughout Xuanyang.

The young eunuch said, "Master Bai, I heard that you have been collecting martial arts techniques from all over the world. The red Qilin robe bestowed by His Majesty can actually be used to exchange for martial arts techniques in the inner treasury."

“There are other uses for this!”

Bai Yuan was overjoyed.

The rewards in the imperial edict this time included, in addition to the official position, a thousand taels of gold and the bright red Qilin robe.

The official salaries of officials in the Xuanyang court were actually not high, so this thousand taels of gold was already a considerable income for those upright officials.

But it is inevitable for an official to be greedy, so gradually the reward of gold became more of a form than a substance, and was just a gift from the emperor.

As for the bright red Qilin-patterned robe, it is similar to the gold one, and also represents the emperor's great grace.

Many big families compete with each other by the number of imperially bestowed clothes in their homes to show off their family heritage.

Bai Yuan originally thought it was a useless thing, but he didn't expect that it could be exchanged for a successful method. This was a pleasant surprise.

The young eunuch said, "If Lord Bai is busy with government affairs, I can do it for him and send the list of skills back to him after returning to the capital."

"Thank you, Eunuch Huang."

Bai Yuan suddenly felt that the things he had given away before were not worth it.

The situation in Lingzhou is special now. As the general of Lingzhou, it is almost impossible for him to leave Lingzhou unless the war is over.

But if a young eunuch could do it for him, he could save a lot of time and get the skills in advance!
The next day.

The old eunuch led the convoy and left Huanglong Mansion in a grand manner.

After seeing off the old eunuch in the early morning, Bai Yuan went straight to the Huanglongfu government office.

Come to think of it, he hadn't been to the government office for quite some time.

"Master Bai."

"Master Bai."

Officials entering and leaving the government office all saluted respectfully when they saw Bai Yuan.

The emotions may be different, such as fear, envy, or joy.

As soon as Bai Yuan walked into the front yard of the government office, he ran into Chen Danian.

"Master Baibai."

Chen Danian bowed to Bai Yuan somewhat awkwardly, and then left as if escaping.

It was true that he did not attack Bai Yuan's men, but it was also true that he was Kong Sen's top supporter.

It was already the best that Bai Yuan didn't settle accounts with him, and he didn't dare to expect too much.

This is the case in officialdom most of the time. The wind direction is always changing. You may be full of energy today, but everyone may hate you after a while.

Taking sides is a science.

Chen Danian had no intention of getting promoted, so he could only consider himself unlucky and keep a low profile for the rest of his life.

Bai Yuan took a few more steps and found Yang Fangyu was already waiting in the front yard.

“It’s really refreshing!”

Yang Fangyu laughed out loud, it was the first time in months that he felt so happy.

The prefect is in charge of internal affairs, and the general is in charge of external affairs.

According to Xuanyang Law, the Lingzhou city defense troops are all commanded by Bai Yuan. In addition, the Demon-Slaying Guards and the Police Station also need to obey his orders.

This kind of authority is indeed huge.

Perhaps in the peaceful water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, the prefect can outdo the general.

But in Lingzhou, where wars were constant, the power of the general was undoubtedly greater than that of the prefect.

Previously, because the post of Lingzhou's general was vacant, Kong Sen was able to easily mobilize the city defense troops.

But now that Bai Yuan has become the new general, Kong Sen must get Bai Yuan's consent if he wants to mobilize the city defense troops.

Besides, the commander-in-chief of the Demon-Slaying Guard was originally from Bai Yuan's faction, so the military force that Kong Sen could mobilize was pitifully small.

Lingzhou is already in chaos, so this is both a trouble and an opportunity.

As long as we can suppress those evil sects and monsters in Lingzhou, it will be a great achievement.

But now this credit has nothing to do with Kong Sen at all.

Bai Yuan: "Just laugh twice, there's no need to laugh so loudly."

After saying this, he couldn't help but laugh.

Although he acted calm before, he was naturally unhappy inside. Now that he was suppressing Kong Sen, he certainly felt refreshed.

"Brother Yang, please send more people to monitor the situation of the Demon Sect."

"it is good."

Yang Fangyu nodded.

He had been feeling frustrated for months and now he finally had the chance to show his strength.

Bai Yuan had just been promoted. If he caused a big mess at this time, he would definitely be criticized, and the matter might even spread to Kyoto, so he had to be extremely cautious.

"By the way, how is Kong Sen?"

When Kong Sen's name was mentioned, Yang Fangyu's face showed even more pride.

"I heard that he didn't come to the government office today."

Since taking office, Kong Sen has been extremely active and is always the first person to arrive at the government office.

But today, for the first time ever, he did not come to the government office. If this had nothing to do with Bai Yuan, it would be impossible.

Perhaps Kong Sen also felt that he was no longer able to fight Bai Yuan, so he simply stayed at home.
