Chapter 235: Minister
Chu Zhiyuan dodged.

"Chi chi chi!"

The red light flashed, as if turning into a sea of ​​fire.

The sword energy of Fengli Jiutian Jue made the surroundings instantly become scorching hot.

Chu Zhiyuan's body moved and he dodged with ease.

It can be seen that her cultivation has improved a lot.

While I was improving myself, she was not idle either.

Although he was in an enemy country, he had been doing various things and had not stopped making progress in his cultivation.

This Li Hongzhao is indeed a strong rival.

Especially since she practiced the Phoenix Cry Nine Heavens Technique, which led to the Grand Master level, she was the most powerful opponent among all the powerful opponents.

Even though I'm making rapid progress now, no one knows how long I'll be stuck at the Grandmaster level.

Maybe she will surpass me.

If there is a chance, we should strike her down so that she will develop a psychological trauma, just like Cheng Tianfeng.

Chu Zhiyuan strolled leisurely in the light of her sword, shaking his head.

"This sword won't work."

"Yeah, that's OK."

"If you can go a little slower, the power will be stronger."

"Too fast. Your sword moves are too fast, which damages the original essence. The timing is not good."

"Your swordsmanship is good, but you haven't mastered it to the right level."

"Chu Zhiyuan, shut up!" Li Hongzhao suddenly drew his sword, sheathed it, and glared at him.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Others have asked me for advice, but I haven't had this opportunity yet, but Your Highness doesn't cherish it."

"Who needs your advice!" Li Hongzhao curled his lips in disdain.

Chu Zhiyuan sat down and sipped his tea. "Your Highness, ten Phoenix Immortal Pills are worth the trouble of untying one knot in your heart, isn't that a good deal?"

"There are only five. If it doesn't work, forget it!"

"Six! ... How do you divide the five? Three for my mother or three for my father?"

“…Four!”

"Six!"

"Okay, six then!" Li Hongzhao glared at him angrily: "Kill that guy, and the Phoenix Immortality Pill will be in your hands!"

"Okay." Chu Zhiyuan looked very dissatisfied and reluctantly agreed: "Then when will we take action?"

"How about tomorrow?"

"We have to wait at least two days. The Zhenwu Division needs to prepare something."

"Then we'll take action the day after tomorrow morning!"

"it is good."

……

Ting Tao Yuan

Chu Zhiyuan looked at the center of the courtyard. Apart from some new soil, there was no other trace.

Everything has returned to its original state and it is still the original Tingtao Courtyard.

Wisps of purple light kept falling, like a drizzle falling continuously.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

Mo Yi stood aside and said with a smile: "My Lord, how is it?"

The other three women also came over.

Chu Zhiyuan patted her shoulders approvingly, and then patted their shoulders separately, making them smile.

"Young Master, there is an imperial edict!" Feng Xi came floating over.

Chu Zhiyuan raised his sword-like eyebrows and said with a smile: "Then go and see what the royal grandfather has to say."

It’s finally here, the emperor’s reward is finally here!
He was excited and strode forward.

Because the great master Huang Cheng was present, Dong Zhao was disturbed and he was too lazy to look at it in advance.

When we arrived at the front yard, Huang Cheng was drinking tea accompanied by Chu Minghou.

Bai Ningshuang hasn't returned from the palace yet, and Chu Yi is very busy in Wanqingyuan.

Seeing him coming, Huang Cheng stood up, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Congratulations, my Lord."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Emissary Huang, what is the emperor's wish?"

Huang Cheng took the imperial edict from a red-robed middle-aged eunuch holding a red sandalwood plate with both hands and presented it to Chu Zhiyuan: "My Lord, I don't know either."

Chu Zhiyuan took it with both hands, opened it quickly and took a look. His expression changed slightly and he looked at Chu Minghou.

Chu Minghou smiled and said, "Yuan'er, what is the emperor's will?"

"Congratulations, father." Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile, "I've given you a new job."

"I—?" Chu Minghou was stunned.

Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile: "Minister of Works, my father will not be able to enjoy his leisure time this time."

The Minister of Works is the first person under the Shangshu and can be considered a high-ranking official.

From then on, the situation in Prince Qing's Mansion would change completely.

This was an obvious signal. It was a signal that the emperor was no longer disgusted.

The predicament of Prince Qing's Mansion will be completely resolved, and from now on there will be no worries about no one paying attention to it.

The door will no longer be deserted.

Chu Minghou is a loyal and affectionate person with excellent interpersonal relationships. If it weren't for the emperor's attitude, his visit would not have been so deserted.

"This..." Chu Minghou hesitated.

He lived in the mansion for a long time, devoted himself to painting, and became obsessed with it. He really had no interest in paying attention to these worldly matters.

Suddenly becoming the Minister of Works, he felt as if a heavy burden was pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.

Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile: "Father, if you take this position, just hand over the tasks to the left and right assistant ministers. I am now the left assistant minister, and I am still very relaxed."

"...Alas, I'm really not cut out for this." Chu Minghou smiled bitterly and looked at Huang Cheng: "Huang Cheng, talk to father, I..."

"Father, if you want to talk to the emperor, you should talk to him in person. Don't make it difficult for Huang Zhongshi."

"I..." Chu Minghou said helplessly: "I can't argue with my father."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Then just agree to it first. It won't be too late to talk about it later if you can't do it."

First resolve the situation in the palace, then it won't be a problem for me to resign.

But judging from the situation, my father can no longer enjoy this leisure time.

Look at the princes and the crown princes, and then look at the princes of the previous generation, very few of them are not in charge of their duties.

If you receive a salary from the court, then you should work hard. The royal family does not keep idle people.

In the Dajing Dynasty, it was not easy for a royal family member to be a rich and idle person.

"Alas..., this is the only way." Chu Minghou sighed continuously.

Chu Zhiyuan clasped his fists and thanked Huang Cheng.

Huang Cheng quickly said goodbye and left.

Chu Zhiyuan was in a complicated mood.

It’s hard to describe this reward. It’s not really generous, as I didn’t give anything at all.

Although it may be stingy, it is indeed more important than any other reward to the Prince Qing's Mansion.

I can only admire the emperor's ability to accomplish great things with little money.

……

After Bai Ningshuang returned home, she was overjoyed when she heard the decree.

Chu Yi felt that being able to work as a minister in the Ministry of Works was a good idea and would be the most suitable for his father. It would not be a heavy responsibility, and the work would be leisurely and he could also be lazy, so it would be the best fit for him.

After the two women's analysis and persuasion, Chu Minghou gradually relaxed his brows.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Many officials in the Ministry of Industry are talented people. Father might be able to find many colleagues who are proficient in painting. We can communicate with each other and improve our skills."

"That makes sense." Chu Minghou said with a smile.

The family was in a very good mood, feeling that the clouds had finally cleared and the moon was visible.

Chu Zhiyuan then said that he would go to Taizhou the day after tomorrow on some business.

Bai Ningshuang didn't ask any more questions, and Chu Yi trusted him.

He was only thinking about the matter of being the Minister of Works, what preparations he should make and when he should go to court.

Chu Zhiyuan became the Left Vice Minister, but he never went to court because he was still practicing martial arts in the Mingwu Palace.

Chu Minghou was going to court.

A lot of imagination, excitement and busyness.

-

The morning sun has just risen.

Thousands of golden rays of light illuminate the pine forest outside Taizhou City.

The pine forest is covered with white snow, like countless soldiers wearing white hats standing in line.

In an open space in the forest, hundreds of people were standing solemnly.

Chu Zhiyuan saw that almost all of these 100 faces were unfamiliar.

This is different from the last time when the Yuding Sect was annihilated, and there are even fewer masters.

Taizhou City is different from Yujing, and the evil monsters that come here are not that strong.

What's more, one person can't get all the good things, and the Zhenwu Division also needs to ensure that everyone gets the benefit.

Huang Cheng followed Chu Zhiyuan.

Li Hongzhao was followed by Su Qiuyan.

With these two grand masters in charge, no other grand masters came.

This time, Chu Zhiyuan was responsible for initiating the operation.

The specific host is Huang Shirong, the head of West Second Hall.

She is the youngest grandmaster, a true disciple of Baiyun Sword Palace, and the head of the West Second Hall. Her position and prestige are sufficient.

Chu Zhiyuan had already completed the handover with Li Hongzhao and handed over the maps to Huang Shirong.

The map indicates which evil sect's masters there are, how many there are, and what realm each of them is at.

After looking at these maps, Chu Zhiyuan was shocked.

After he got the map yesterday, he went to look at the intelligence about Taizhou from the Supervisory Office, but it was not so detailed.
