Chapter 504 Jade Pendant
The thought must be clear, so the evil sect must continue to be destroyed.

But we cannot completely go against all the court officials.

Even if he is invincible in the world now, he is only targeting martial arts masters. There is no need to confront these officials head-on.

This is a conflict of ideas, not a conflict of personal grudges or good and evil.

It won’t be too late to deal with them once you become emperor.

Then use the third method.

I had prepared three moves at the beginning, and I thought two were enough. But now it seems that I still have to use the third one.

"How to kill each other?" Chu Yi asked.

"They don't want me to kill the evil sect monster again," Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "but if the evil sect monster insists on killing me, then I can't do anything about it. I can't just sit there and wait to die."

-

Early the next morning, someone in the restaurant spread a piece of news.

A jade pendant was unearthed in the Evil Emperor's cave, containing the Evil Emperor's inheritance.

By obtaining the Evil Emperor's jade pendant, one can hope to obtain the Evil Emperor's inheritance and thus ascend to heaven.

The world today is different from that of ancient times. Even if you cannot ascend to heaven, you can still be invincible.

It is said that this jade pendant has been obtained by a master of the Demon Heart Sect. The elders of the Demon Heart Sect have united with other evil sects and secretly sent the Evil Emperor's jade pendant back to the headquarters.

When one person says something, others doubt it. When everyone around is spreading the word, people become half-believing and half-doubting.

The news spread quickly.

The news about the Evil Emperor's Jade Pendant became more and more popular and became the focus of people's discussion.

Later, news came that the Evil Emperor's jade pendant was not just one, but four in total.

Only by combining the four pendants into one can one truly obtain the inheritance of the Evil Emperor.

The Demon Heart Sect only got one piece, and the other three pieces are nowhere to be found.

Some say it was obtained by the Yuding Sect, some say it was obtained by the Huaisu Sect, and some say it was obtained by the Tianxin Sect.

All kinds of news are flying around.

Some people questioned it, while others said they had seen the jade pendant with their own eyes.

It's really different.

You can tell at first glance that it is extraordinary and is likely related to the Evil Emperor who ascended to heaven.

So people began to ask what the Evil Emperor's jade pendant looked like.

The man then described in vivid detail how big the jade pendant was, what color it was, what patterns were carved on it, and what kind of luster it emitted.

People searched for various information and came together to find out the whereabouts of the four Evil Emperor jade pendants.

Someone from the Demon Heart Sect is already chasing them, and the whereabouts of the other three jade pendants remain a mystery.

Two days later, news came that the second jade pendant was obtained by Wanxing Sect.

The Wanxing Sect is just a small evil sect with a sparse population, yet it actually has this opportunity.

Unfortunately, there is no wall that is impenetrable. Several disciples of the Wanxing Sect were quickly killed, exposing the Evil Emperor's jade pendant.

This jade pendant of the Evil Emperor is currently in the possession of the Sangmei Sect and is being pursued by the evil sect's demons.

The Sangmei Sect is not an ordinary small evil sect. It is said that its headquarters is in southern Xinjiang. Once they escape back to southern Xinjiang, it will be difficult to find them.

Therefore, the masters of Sangmei Sect are now being blocked from all directions.

-

Early in the morning,

Chu Zhiyuan brought Zou Fang to the Ministry of Personnel and found a long queue.

I can't help but sigh that the Ministry of Personnel is indeed not comparable to the Ministry of Rites, the atmosphere is completely different.

There were three long lines of people waiting to enter, each with more than thirty people.

More than a dozen innate masters and masters from the Zhenwu Division were checking at the door.

All weapons must be put aside and guards are not allowed to enter the yamen.

Among the three long teams, there were officials in official uniforms, generals in armor, and clerks in green robes.

They had no problem queuing up and getting checked before entering.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

Compared to this side, the entrance of the Ministry of Rites was really deserted, with almost no one there.

Chu Zhiyuan walked straight in.

People looked over, many recognized him, and saluted.

Chu Zhiyuan clasped his fists and nodded, without stopping, and soon arrived at the door.

The guards, dressed in tight clothes and with stern faces, saw Chu Zhiyuan and clasped their fists and said, "Fourth Prince."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

He still kept walking.

The guards immediately made way for them, bowed slightly, and looked respectful. Chu Zhiyuan and Zou Fang entered the gate of the Ministry of Personnel, and people behind them began to talk.

"The Fourth Prince is indeed very charming."

"So this is the Fourth Prince."

"It's better to meet you in person than to hear about you. You are as handsome as a jade, and you are indeed worthy of being the prince."

……

Chu Zhiyuan didn't care about these discussions.

It is human nature to flatter the powerful and look down on the weak and to curry favor with the powerful.

From the perspective of outsiders, he is now considered a secure heir to the throne.

Apart from Prince Ying, there are almost no princes or crown princes who can pose a threat.

Under such circumstances, the only ones who dared to offend me were the censors.

As for the remaining officials, there is no need for them to rashly confront him, and most of them are flattering him.

But we should not underestimate these officials, as many of them are strong-willed people.

Once they go against the interests of the court, they will attack brazenly, regardless of whether he is the crown prince or the future emperor.

The Emperor's Sword is a kind of power, and the rules of the court are also a kind of power.

If you think you can do whatever you want without any scruples just because you hold the Emperor's Sword, then you are too naive.

As soon as Chu Zhiyuan stepped into the gate, a handsome middle-aged official came to greet him.

He stepped forward and saluted: "Sir, I am Ouyang Xun, and I am sorry for not coming to greet you in person."

Chu Zhiyuan clasped his fists and said, "Master Ouyang, you are welcome."

This Ouyang Xun was his direct subordinate, holding the position of Langzhong, Langzhong of the Wenxuansi.

Under the left and right vice ministers of the Ministry of Personnel, there are four doctors, in addition to the doctor of the Ministry of Selection, there are also the doctor of the Ministry of Examination, the doctor of the Ministry of Seals and the doctor of the Ministry of Inspection.

He is no longer the Left Vice Minister, but the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

The Right Vice Minister is not as good as the Left Vice Minister. Among the four departments, the Left Vice Minister is in charge of three departments, while he, the Right Vice Minister, is only in charge of one department.

He was only responsible for the Wenxuan Department, and the remaining three departments were not under his jurisdiction.

His direct subordinate is Ouyang Xun.

Ouyang Xun led the way and brought him to a small courtyard, then called out the clerks from all the rooms in the courtyard to meet Chu Zhiyuan, the Right Vice Minister.

Chu Zhiyuan greeted everyone gently, kindly and with a smile on his face.

But no one relaxed because of this, and everyone was on edge.

Now everyone knows that the fourth prince is the reincarnation of a killer who kills without blinking an eye.

It is said that tens of thousands of evil sects and demons died at his hands.

How astonishing it is to have the blood of ten thousand people on your hands.

So even though Chu Zhiyuan looked gentle and even smiling, they still didn't dare to relax.

It's like facing a tiger that can eat you at any time.

They were even more frightened than when facing the emperor.

The emperor would not kill people easily, and he had never killed so many people.

Even though he knew that Chu Zhiyuan had killed evil spirits, he still couldn't help but feel fear.

Chu Zhiyuan spoke some official words and then asked everyone to go their separate ways.

He followed Ouyang Xun to the main hall, which was the room he was in.

In addition to a pavilion desk in the north, there are several pavilion desks on both sides.

Behind the desk sat the clerks whom he had met before, each of them busy at work.

There were piles of files on the desk, which they picked up one by one, read through, made annotations, and then passed them to the desk next to them.

"Sir, these are the resumes of the candidates for this year's examination. Please make a preliminary classification."

"Yeah, thank you for your hard work." Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

He knew the duties and procedures of the Ministry of Personnel's Selection Department, which was relatively leisurely.

When there are no exams, I am quite free, but once there are exams, I become busy.

The Selection Department must clarify and check the resumes of candidates at all levels to prevent impersonation, and at the same time screen out promising ones and focus on examining them.

This is a sinecure, but it is not unimportant. On the contrary, it is very important.

Chu Zhiyuan felt that this was the first step in screening out spies.

But it's also easy to muddle through.

In any case, if something goes wrong with the officials in the end, the responsibility will not fall on the Ministry of Literature and Art.

So Chu Zhiyuan came here just to gain experience and didn't need to do any work.
