Huangxiu

Chapter 505 Trouble
Although the Wenxuan Division has little time, it still has to do practical work.

He was not in a hurry to do anything. As he had just arrived, the best way was to stand by and watch like he did in the Ministry of Rites, and not to interfere.

Let the people below do the work first.

It’s not too late to decide what to do after you become familiar with it.

Chu Zhiyuan sat behind the desk, listening calmly to Ouyang Xun's report.

Explain the responsibilities of the Selection Office clearly and in an organized manner.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded from time to time to Ouyang Xun's words, but did not speak rashly.

After Ouyang Xun finished speaking, Chu Zhiyuan nodded and said, "Master Ouyang, let's follow the old rules."

"Yes, my lord."

"I seldom come here normally. Please bear with me if anything happens to me, Lord Ouyang."

"Yes."

"If you really have something urgent to say, you can come to the palace to find me directly."

"Yes."

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand.

Ouyang Xun returned to the first desk on the left and began to work hard.

Chu Zhiyuan flipped through the pile of files on the desk one by one.

He didn't know the trick, so he asked Ouyang Xun, showing no shame in asking questions.

If you really want to be an emperor, you must know how the six ministries operate and the situations of all prefectures, counties and cities in the world. You cannot be confused, otherwise you will be a confused emperor.

If you become emperor before you figure things out, it would be too easy to make mistakes and involve too many issues.

The emperor is not a warrior who only wields the sword to kill people, but he is supposed to govern the country and win the hearts of the people.

He is now smart and energetic, and is not so afraid of governing the country, but he lacks confidence and wants to learn more.

The first step is to understand how the six ministries and the court operate and what the rules are.

The second step is to find out the real situation of Dajing now.

These two points are not something that super sense can do.

You need to study hard and research diligently, which can also be considered a kind of practice.

During this period, we must also recruit and win over some capable officials, powerful assistants and confidants.

Gao Lingfeng is one of them, and Ouyang Xun also looks smart and capable, but we need to observe him further.

We need to discover more capable ministers.

The Ministry of Personnel is the best position, which can find out the performance of officials across the country.

Although it is superficial, it is far better than knowing nothing.

With his current photographic memory, it is not difficult for him to memorize the performance of officials at all levels across the country.

When he thought of this, he inexplicably thought of Huang Shirong.

Huang Shirong has a photographic memory and can handle hall affairs with ease. Not only is he a great martial arts expert, he is also very capable in handling affairs.

Compared to the Zhenwu Division, she is more suitable for the officialdom, but unfortunately she is a woman.

He shook his head at the thought.

Feitian Sect

A large hall not far from Tiandao Pavilion is the sect master's hall.

At this time, the hall was shrouded in gloom and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

Sitting in the main seat, Lu Donghu stroked his beard and said nothing, his handsome face looking gloomy.

Sitting in the two rows of armchairs on the left and right were two old men and four middle-aged men.

The four middle-aged men hung their heads in silence, while the two old men stroked their beards, frowned, and glared at them.

The old man with a face like a silver basin said in a deep voice: "Master, you can't go in again. No matter how many times you go in, the result will be the same!"

"Senior Brother Qu," the square-faced old man opposite frowned, "What if we don't go in? Are we not going to enter the secret place?"

"But going in is like going to die!" The silver-faced old man said unhappily, "Who dares to go in now? I don't dare to go in anyway!"

"If we don't figure out how to deal with it, won't these monsters die on their own if we just keep dragging it out?"

"You can't just go in rashly!"

"Uncle Qu, Uncle Liu." Lu Donghu waved his hands.

The two old men glared at each other like fighting cocks, then turned their gazes back to Ludong Lake.

Lu Donghu said: "Let's wait for a while and ask for external help." "The imperial court?" Another skinny old man said in a deep voice: "You can't rely on the imperial court."

The silver-faced old man said coldly: "The imperial court is really cunning. After knowing this secret place, they are not in a hurry to send people to explore it. Now I finally understand why they are not in a hurry."

Lu Donghu said calmly: "Because they know the danger."

After discovering the secret place, he was extremely excited and kept the news strictly secret, fearing that the court or others would know about it.

As a result, we did get a lot of good things, including some rare treasures.

But the price was the loss of many masters in the sect.

The secret place contains both natural treasures and great dangers.

The Grand Master personally escorted them, but even he couldn't guarantee that he could stop the monsters.

These monsters have various strange abilities and are hard to guard against.

Over the past few years, the loss of masters has far exceeded that in the Zhenwu Division.

The overall strength of the Feitian Sect has not improved much, and it is even worse than focusing all its efforts on developing the Zhenwu Division.

The imperial court learned of the existence of this secret place some time ago.

They immediately felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, thinking that the imperial court would shamelessly invade and occupy this secret place.

As a result, the imperial court only sent two grand masters to take a look, and then there was no further movement.

Now that Lu Donghu thought about it, he understood the reason.

The imperial court was experienced and knew that the new secret place was full of dangers, so they let the Feitian Sect take the lead in the exploration while they stayed behind.

I originally thought that Feitian Sect could withstand this danger, but now it seems that I overestimated myself.

A new kind of monster has appeared. They are invisible and hard to guard against. Even grand masters cannot find or sense them.

Both Grandmasters Liu and Qu nearly lost their lives.

Several grandmasters and innate masters were wiped out, which had a great impact on the strength of the Feitian Sect.

The two grand masters were not convinced, so they recovered from their injuries and went in again, but were still attacked and seriously injured, and almost lost their lives.

One suggested going in again, the other suggested not to act rashly.

All the great masters are afraid of death. Liu Ruixiang, who advocated going in, was not afraid of death, but because his son died in it.

This is anger and desire for revenge.

The white-faced old man Qu Qianbi said in a deep voice: "In fact, if the court sends a grandmaster here, the result will be the same."

He looked at Liu Ruixiang: "Junior Brother Liu, do you think we are not as good as the great masters of the imperial court?"

Liu Ruixiang snorted: "It's the same."

Qu Qianbi said: "So we can't do anything to these monsters, and the same goes for the imperial court. There is no need to ask for help from the imperial court, as it will only make us laugh at them."

The imperial court must be waiting to see the Feitian Sect make a fool of itself.

They would laugh at the Feitian Sect for being incompetent and not being able to eat the pie that fell from the sky.

"Uncle Qu, Uncle Liu," Lu Donghu said, "There are still masters in the court."

"What experts are there?!" Qu Qianbi said disdainfully: "If they encounter those monsters, they will be just as dizzy and unable to find them, and they will die!"

"Senior Brother Qu!" Liu Ruixiang said coldly, "Are we going to stay at the secret place and just watch and let their bodies be exposed in the wilderness?"

“……” Lu Donghu remained silent.

He also wanted to bring back the remains of those dead disciples and bury them in peace.

But it's really not worth it to risk the loss of a grandmaster.

"Master, Qu Ying wants to see you!" A clear and pleasant voice came from outside.

"Qu Ying, come in and talk!" Lu Donghu immediately smiled.

He looked at Qu Qianbi and said with a smile: "Uncle Qu, Xiaoying is finally back, don't scold her."

Qu Qianbi smiled immediately, but quickly restrained himself, suppressing his joy. He stroked his beard and hummed, "She is so impatient. I told her to go and come back quickly, but she took so long to come back. Who else should I scold if not her?"

Qu Ying lifted the curtain and walked into the hall proudly.

She was wearing a blue robe, dressed like a man, with a green sword on her slender body, looking like a swordsman, full of heroism and high spirits.

After she came in, she clasped her fists and bowed to everyone, greeting them one by one.

Qu Qianbi said unhappily: "You still remember to come back!"

"Grandpa, this really opened my eyes!"

Qu Ying couldn't wait to tell them what she had seen and heard along the way.

They all watched her grow up, so she was not shy at all and told them everything that had happened.
