Huangxiu

Chapter 807 Proposal
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "If it's difficult for Third Brother, forget it. As the prince of Yujing, it's really not suitable for me to be an official in the court."

He could guess what Li Cunhou was thinking, but he didn't agree with it.

When he came to the Phoenix Dynasty, the power he could borrow the most was Li Miaotan.

If you insist on leaving Li Miaotan behind and taking action on your own, you will be asking for trouble.

As a prince, he is completely useless in Phoenix Imperial City. Not only is he not a help, but he is a hindrance instead.

"Hehe..." Li Cunhou smiled with his face but not his heart.

He felt that Chu Zhiyuan was hypocritical.

If you really want to think so, why do you say this after my sister said the previous words?

Just interrupt my little sister's words in advance.

Li Miaotan said, "If you have done something good, you should be rewarded. This is only natural. Since your husband is the consort of the emperor, you will not be rewarded. Then, next time, will you not be rewarded if you have done something good?"

"Father, won't you?"

"How can you find no excuses?" Li Miaotan said, "Besides, if we don't fight, others will just want to see us laugh at us."

"But the identity of my brother-in-law is indeed too sensitive."

"So what?" Li Miaotan said, "Father has a broad mind, so why are you so wary of my husband's identity? You are so petty!"

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head secretly.

Isn't this just an insult to the Third Prince for being petty?

But looking at the Third Prince's expression, he seemed used to it and didn't look surprised at all.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Madam, this is human nature. After all, the two dynasties often go to war. If I am in a high position, I can't guarantee that I will leak secrets, which may affect the outcome."

"There are many positions in the six ministries of the imperial court that do not involve the military," said Li Miaotan.

Li Cunhou agreed: "Third sister is right, there are many positions in the court that do not involve the military."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Brother Three is asking for a reward like this, Brother One and Brother Two's people will definitely stop him, right?"

"That's for sure." Li Cunhou said, "What I can think of, my eldest and second brothers can definitely think of, and they will definitely use this argument to obstruct it."

"Then how should we deal with it?" Chu Zhiyuan asked.

Li Cunhou said: "Big Brother and Second Brother have people, and we have people too, so we can argue with them. Just like what I said to my younger sister, the emperor is very understanding and will surely agree."

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "What if the emperor also has concerns?"

"Then there is nothing we can do." Li Cunhou said helplessly: "After all, it is up to the emperor to decide. We can't force him."

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "If Xiao Minghou kills 100 demon clan masters in one day, what reward will he receive?"

"At least he can be promoted to the next level." Li Cunhou said, "He can be awarded a fiefdom of 1,000 households."

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "Then what rank is my son-in-law Duwei?"

"The title of Prince Consort is a nominal title of the fifth rank, and one can only receive a salary. If one is promoted to the next level, he will become a county magistrate or a palace attendant, which is useless."

For them, empty titles are useless. No one lacks salary. The key is power.

Without power and influence, what is the use of salary? No one needs food.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Then just propose the position of Junior Secretary of the Imperial Household Department or General of the Central Army."

Li Cunhou's eyes suddenly widened and he looked Chu Zhiyuan up and down.

He thought Chu Zhiyuan was drunk, talking nonsense, or daydreaming.

How could a prince consort possibly be given these powers and positions?
What’s more, he is the prince consort of Yujing Ninth Prince?
Li Miaotan's eyes flickered, and he chuckled and said, "That's a good idea."

Li Cunhou glared at Li Miaotan.

I felt that the couple were seriously ill and were sick together.

Li Miaotan said angrily: "Third brother, are you scolding us?"

"Li Cunhou waved his hands and avoided his gaze.

Li Miaotan snorted and said, "If you want a higher position, they will definitely stop you. If you want a lower position, and they still don't agree, then you have to ask for a lower position. If they still don't agree, it will be too embarrassing."

Li Cunhou shook his head: "Will this method work? Father's eyes are sharp, nothing can be hidden from him."

Learn from the best and you will achieve the best.

This basic technique would not escape the eyes of the emperor and might anger him.

The most important experience he had when facing the emperor was to be honest.

Tell the truth, don't be clever or lie.

Otherwise it would only anger the emperor.

He secretly thought that even if the couple was playing tricks, their father would definitely see through it.

In the end, it may be all for nothing.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "This is not aimed at the emperor, but at the eldest and second princes." "Well... then let's give it a try?"

"Third brother, you should talk to them first, so as not to get beaten up in the court."

"Of course!" Li Cunhou said, "I'll ask Zhao Bingzhong to go there."

Li Miaotan smiled.

Li Cunhou hurriedly said: "Don't talk about this, let's talk about cultivation, the Phoenix bloodline is not activated, right?"

When he talked about this, his eyes lit up and he was very excited.

“Not quite there yet.”

“It looks like there is hope!”

"Yes, it will definitely activate the Phoenix bloodline."

"Hehe..." Li Cunhou couldn't help but laugh triumphantly: "Once the Phoenix bloodline is revealed, who in the world can compete with it?!"

Chu Zhiyuan seemed to be thinking about something.

Li Miaotan sighed and said, "It's not that easy."

Li Cunhou was excited: "Anyway, I'm just waiting to see you become invincible!"

Li Miaotan shook his head slightly: "It's not that easy to fully activate it."

Li Cunhou looked at Chu Zhiyuan: "Are you going to see your brother-in-law? He is a venerable now, isn't it enough?"

"His cultivation is already sufficient, but it will take time, not just a short period of time."

"It's really worrying. How long will it take?"

"Based on the current situation, it will take at least half a year."

"Half a year will go by so fast!"

"The demons and monsters will not sit idly by and will definitely find ways to sabotage it."

"Humph, the demons and monsters!" Li Cunhou sneered, "We have almost wiped them out during the wedding."

“They won’t give up.”

"Then continue the cleanup. Kill as many as they come!"

Li Cunhou was full of murderous intent, and his eyes flashed with cold light.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

Li Cunhou glared at him: "Brother-in-law, do you think we can't deal with them?"

"This kind of loss will not be small." Chu Zhiyuan said, "I am afraid that it will cause complaints and anger towards Madam."

The demon race and the monster race have one thing in common, which is that they will fight to the death at any time.

One is to die with his soul returning to the devil's abyss, and the other is to sacrifice his life without hesitation after blood gushed out of his head.

They regard humans as pigs and dogs, and after entering the human world, they kill them at will.

They also have a secret method to strengthen themselves by devouring human essence and blood.

Li Cunhou was startled, his face darkened: "This is troublesome."

Then he said, "Then speed up. If there is any method that can help, a panacea or a rare flower or fruit, just bring it up, and the emperor will definitely agree."

"It's useless." Li Miaotan said.

Once you become a Venerable, the effects of panaceas and natural treasures will be greatly reduced.

"Then we can only wait for half a year?" Li Cunhou sighed.

Li Miaotan said: "If everything goes smoothly, it will take half a year. If there are any setbacks, I don't know how long it will take."

"Otherwise, you can go to Phoenix Palace to practice!"

Li Miaotan laughed.

"Now my brother-in-law is no longer a stranger. If I ask my father for mercy, he may not be unable to enter the Phoenix Palace."

Li Miaotan said: "Don't mention the impossible. Don't let Father really think that we are greedy."

Li Cunhou said seriously: "I think it's best to go to Phoenix Palace."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "If I stay outside, I can also help wipe out the demons and monsters."

The Phoenix Palace is similar to the Great Light Peak. It is a holy place for spiritual practice and also a small cave heaven.

It was impossible for him, an outsider, to enter there.

Even if I could go in, I wouldn't want to.

He was also counting on the demons and monsters to come up and die so as to help him practice.
