Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 117 The Crown Prince's Victory

Just as Chu Danqing expected, the settlement was indeed settled on the winning side.

The prince ascended the throne as the new emperor and became the new Emperor Taichang.

Then they performed a scene of brotherly love and respect on the spot, and asked Prince Fu to guard the tomb of the late emperor for three years before going to be enfeoffed.

This almost made Prince Fu unable to hold back in his external performance.

However, for the sake of his wife and children's lives, Prince Fu endured it.

Next, they start to sit in rows and share the fruits.

Chu Danqing also got one.

He was promoted to the rank of General Yulin, a third-rank official, and served as the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard, in charge of the Imperial Guard Yulin Army.

His duties are an upgraded version of the previous Zuowei Rate of the Zuoyu Guard, changing from protecting the Eastern Palace to protecting the Imperial Palace.

Still the security captain.

Dabao was also promoted to Yulin Cheng, which was roughly the deputy captain of security, one level lower than Chu Danqing.

After being appointed as an official, Chu Danqing's trial mission was completed.

[Mission Completed, You Gain: Paradise Points x 1000, Attribute Points +1]

At the same time, new tasks were released, and this time the difficulty was quite high.

[Trial Mission: Kill the Sushen spies in the capital's upper echelons and eliminate their dens within three months]

[Trial Difficulty: B-Level (Warrior)]

[Trial Rewards: Return Qualification, Paradise Points x 5000, Attribute Point +3]

[Trial Failed: Paradise Point -10000, Forced Return]

But it is already the last stage, and the qualifications for return have been announced.

But he didn't expect that the Sushen spies could be worth B-level difficulty.

This means that the problem of spies in the capital has become very serious.

"How do we investigate this? Ask the detective agency for help. Wait, why doesn't the detective agency know about this?" Chu Danqing suddenly discovered a blind spot.

The Investigation Bureau is a supervisory agency, and everyone from officials to ordinary people are under their surveillance.

"Is Li Wanwu really a Sushen spy?" Chu Danqing thought, but it didn't make sense: "He must be colluding with Sushen."

"This is troublesome." Chu Danqing felt it was tricky.

Unless he can take away some of the power of the Investigation Bureau from Li Wanwu.

But this is obviously unrealistic. After the prince ascended the throne as Emperor Taichang, he decentralized and balanced power when conferring official titles on those who had once appointed him as the crown prince.

However, there is still a chance. As long as he makes a big move, he can make the suspicious Emperor Taichang give him the power to investigate.

Putting his thoughts aside for the moment, he decided to go talk to Xiong Zhigang to see if he had any good ideas.

Xiong Zhigang, who was supposed to leave today, had his enthronement postponed to tomorrow.

"Commander Chu is here. I was just about to look for you." Xiong Zhigang spoke with a smile on his face when he saw Chu Danqing coming.

Next to Xiong Zhigang stood a bitter-faced man, his face full of reluctance.

"Let me introduce you. This is Xu Yi, whom I told you about before. He is good at taming animals." Xiong Zhigang introduced the other party and then introduced Chu Danqing to him again.

Now Chu Danqing understood why the other party had that expression.

"Xiong Jinglie, I told you not to do it, why are you still forcing me? This is immoral." Chu Danqing was speechless.

I've clearly refused, yet you still do this.

"You're right, Old Bear is so immoral." Xu Yi echoed, "But since he brought it up, it's okay to give it to you."

"But I need you to swear not to pass it on to anyone else, not even your offspring."

When Chu Danqing heard this, he didn't know what to say for a moment. He had already given him a way out, so why not just walk down?

"Let me take a look. If it's suitable, I won't take it for nothing. You have taught me something, so I have to repay you." Chu Danqing would not take it for nothing.

This made Xu Yi's face look much better, and he took out his family secret method.

Chu Danqing took a look and found that it was actually a skill book.

He thought it would be a knowledge item.

[Skill Book: Spiritual Wisdom]

[Type: Passive Skill]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Effect: After using, you will gain the skill of spiritual wisdom and enhance the spirituality of summoned creatures]

When Chu Danqing saw the effect, he knew he couldn't refuse.

"I'll accept it with a thick face." Chu Danqing said shamelessly.

Xu Yi didn't hesitate and stuffed the book into Chu Danqing's arms: "It's yours."

"Where is your home? I'll have someone send it there right away!" Chu Danqing asked directly for the address.

There were a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in his residence, but these things were of little use to him.

It is suitable to give it to the other party as a thank-you gift.

"Ask Lao Xiong, I have something else to do so I won't stay long, you guys chat." Xu Yi said and left.

Obviously knowing that Chu Danqing had something to discuss with Xiong Zhigang, he left tactfully.

After the people left, Xiong Zhigang asked him, "What's the hurry?"

They had just completed the ascension to the throne, and before noon, Chu Danqing came to find him.

Normally, I should rest first. Chu Danqing slightly modified his words and mentioned that there were Sushen spies in the capital, and not only were there a large number of them, but there were also some in high-ranking positions.

"I'm afraid this matter will have to be handled by you." Xiong Zhigang's face showed helplessness: "I have to leave early tomorrow morning."

"The border crossing can't be delayed any longer."

He had no choice but to leave, as the 50,000-strong Sushen army had already confirmed its preparations to march south.

Xiong Zhigang was powerless to deal with the internal troubles, mainly because Chu Danqing had no evidence and was also involved in the investigation factory.

"You should be careful about this matter and don't be as impulsive as you were in the Ghost Market before." Xiong Zhigang warned.

The last time Chu Danqing was successful, it was thanks to the help from all parties, but it may not be possible to replicate it this time.

When Chu Danqing heard this, he nodded in agreement on the surface, but in fact he wanted to make a big deal out of it.

If he doesn't make a big fuss, he'll have to fight alone.

Only when the situation gets out of hand can most people be tied to the chariot.

Especially for Emperor Taichang, this was his kingdom. He could compromise on other things, but there was no reason to compromise when it came to threatening his power and status.

In addition, the Sushen people gathered an army of 50,000 to invade. If they could compromise, it would basically be equivalent to the destruction of the country.

Emperor Taichang, who was still a crown prince, already attached great importance to power. He was not like the previous Emperor Taichang who only cared about becoming an immortal and ignored the country.

"Li Wanwu is most likely to have had dealings with the Sushen people," Xiong Zhigang said. "If you investigate, you'll definitely attract his attention."

"Now that he is busy cleaning up the Qiutan Party with the blade in His Majesty's hand, this is your chance."

"If we can find evidence of his dealings with the Sushen, not only can we eliminate this spy threat, but we can also put an end to him."

Xiong Zhigang could see clearly what was happening in the court, but he couldn't defeat others. After all, he was not the only one who could see, others could see too.

"That's true, but I can't say I know nothing about politics, but I don't know much either."

"It's been less than half a month since I came to Beijing and became a general of the Imperial Guards." Chu Danqing said with his hands spread out.

The reason why he was promoted so quickly was naturally due to his merits in saving the emperor and following him.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to get promoted so quickly relying solely on one's network of contacts and charm.

So Chu Danqing really doesn't know how to deal with the court struggles.

It would be easier to just let Guo Ming stab Li Wanwu through with one sword.

After hearing what Chu Danqing said, Xiong Zhigang also felt that the situation was extremely difficult.

"Let's find Wang Qi, maybe he can find a solution." A flash of inspiration suddenly came to Xiong Zhigang's mind.

Wang Qi, the newly appointed imperial tutor and an old official in the court, would be a good choice to ask him to help.

"I'll leave a letter about this matter, just send someone to deliver it, you don't have to go in person." Xiong Zhigang understood that Chu Danqing, the General of the Yulin Army and the Commander of the Imperial Guards, was not suitable to be too close to the ministers in the court.

Chu Danqing didn't think of this. He just felt that Xiong Zhigang's reputation should be greater than his own, so he directly agreed to let Xiong Zhigang do it for him.

"I think it's getting late. Mr. Chu should take over the Imperial Guards as soon as possible and familiarize himself with the palace." Xiong Zhigang told Chu Danqing roughly how he should hand over the work.

In his opinion, Chu Danqing's position was basically fixed here.

It is unrealistic to expect further promotion.

Although he was only a third-rank official, he was Emperor Taichang's confidant.

He was a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, not to mention that Chu Danqing was the gatekeeper for the emperor.

After hearing this, Chu Danqing took Dabao to take up his post, and on the way back he asked someone to deliver the gold, silver and jewelry to Xu Yi.

This time Xiong Zhigang was not in a position to help him, so he had to rely on himself.

Fortunately, it was not just Chu Danqing who took over the Imperial Guards. All the people in the Imperial Guards were promoted, forming a management node of the Imperial Guards.

There was a reshuffle among the middle and senior management, and given Chu Danqing's high reputation and prestige, many people watched him personally escort Prince Fu into the palace.

So the whole handover process was not very bumpy.

As for the former commander of the imperial guards, he returned home to retire.

When the crown prince ascends the throne as Emperor Taichang, he will not take action against the Imperial Guards, but will instead give them a decent return.

Otherwise, you will be laid off and persecuted, so who will work for you?

This is actually related to the fact that the former commander of the imperial guards did not make any mistakes. Otherwise, if he was not clean, it would not be easy to step down.

After taking over, a senior member of the Imperial Guard took Chu Danqing to familiarize himself with the palace.

The main purpose was to introduce the place as they walked, so that Chu Danqing could have a general idea of ​​the layout of the palace and the names and functions of the buildings.

By the time he finished his tour, it was already dark.

Before Chu Danqing had time to rest, a eunuch came to say that Emperor Taichang wanted to see him.

He could only exchange offerings and burn incense for the snake soul on the way to the Yangqi Palace.

"My dear minister, you used to be a traveling sorcerer. Do you recognize this monster?" Emperor Taichang asked, pointing at the monster's corpse after Chu Danqing arrived.

Chu Danqing shook his head: "I am ignorant, but the death of the late emperor must be related to this monster."

"My dear minister, have you ever heard of the Book of Heaven?" Emperor Taichang changed the subject.

"No." Chu Danqing knew that Emperor Taichang must have obtained something like a diary or experimental records.

He left in such a hurry that he didn't have time to clean up.

Fortunately, he took away the Flesh and Blood Scholar's spell book. Without this equipment, Emperor Taichang could do nothing.

Therefore, there is no need to worry that Emperor Taichang will repeat the same mistakes.

But looking at the situation of Emperor Taichang, I'm afraid he had some ideas.

"What a pity." Emperor Taichang sighed, and suddenly changed his tone and said, "My dear minister, can you hear this?"
