Abandoned Prince: Summon the Sword God at the beginning

Chapter 9: Gu Fan, Deputy Envoy of the Imperial City Department

If it were his predecessor, he would only choose to keep quiet. After all, strictly speaking, he is now just a commoner. Although he has noble blood, he has fallen out of favor in the royal family.

This is not the worst. Will he still be alive after his other brothers become emperors?

Although Concubine Cao's son Li Dan had not yet become the crown prince, his mother was deeply favored by the emperor, and it was only a matter of time before he was made the crown prince.

Now, the emperor has not appointed a crown prince yet, because he still has some feelings for Li Jiao's biological mother. Although Li Jiao disappoints him, he still hopes that he will return to his right path.

He had already sent the Jinyiwei to secretly protect Li Jiao's safety. That time, Li Jiao was assassinated in the street. Li Yuanfang, the 14th Captain of the Jinyiwei, was ready to take action. However, when he saw an old man intervene forcefully, he gave up the idea of ​​stepping forward.

Li Yuanfang was no ordinary man, he saw with his own eyes that the old man's moves were as fast as lightning, which even he could hardly do. Li Jiao knew that his life was safe as he had received help from such a great man. He immediately sent a pigeon to report the matter to the commander of the capital.

When Emperor Weilie of Daxia received the report from the commander, his expression became strange. He felt that the matter of enthroning a new crown prince should be postponed for a while.

Emperor Weilie of Daxia murmured to himself, "I hope my son can understand my painstaking efforts and not regard father as a foolish king."

Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty. However, with the help of Yun Ni, Li Jiao found the mansion of Chu Kuangke, one of his former retainers.

Today, he already owns his own mansion. He was able to buy his own beautiful house in the capital city where every inch of land is valuable, entirely by selling out the original owner's family.

Following the instructions of a certain prince, he exaggerated the defamation of the deposed crown prince. At that time, Li Jiao had left the capital for Jiangnan and had no chance to defend himself. Even if he was in the capital, he probably would not have argued.

As a result, ordinary people in the capital city all believed that Li Jiao had tacitly accepted the revelations of his former retainer Chu Kuangke as true, and they did not have the face to refute them.

As the saying goes, "Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles." Not only were the people in the capital spreading the absurd stories of the former crown prince, but even the people in Jiangnan, Mobei and Lingnan had heard of it.

Li Jiao's reputation in the Great Xia Dynasty was completely ruined. After he was deposed, many censors rushed to impeach him.

Strangely, Emperor Weilie kept these memorials in his hands and did not send them out. After his ministers learned which direction the wind was blowing, they stopped pursuing Li Jiao.

But at this time, when Li Jiao brought Yun Ni to the Chu Mansion, Chu Kuangke was entertaining guests in the mansion. He is now an official of the court.

Since the former crown prince Li Jiao fell from power, he suddenly became a guest of honor of Prince Li Dan, and later became an official in the court with his recommendation.

Although the Great Chu regarded the imperial examination as the official way to enter officialdom, there was also the practice of the powerful recommending talented people to serve as officials. Chu Kuangke was originally a scholar with some fame, and was recommended by the prince Li Dan, so he got the official position of the head of the Ministry of Rites for free.

The Great Chu followed the system of the previous dynasty and appointed a chief official among the officials of each department. The official rank was raised from the seventh rank to the sixth rank, which was the lowest level among the officials of each department and belonged to the low-level officials.

Even if his rank was low, he was still an official of the imperial court. Chu Kuangke had suddenly jumped from a commoner to an official, so naturally he wanted to celebrate. He invited all his friends to his house for a gathering.

Of course, those who were invited would not come empty-handed. They prepared gifts for the banquet. Even Prince Li Dan sent someone to deliver a big gift.

Chu Kuangke was flattered and felt that he was also a person of some importance. He thought to himself: "Although there are many high-ranking officials in the capital, so what's the problem?

I am still young. When the prince Li Dan is made the crown prince and then becomes the emperor, I will be considered a loyal minister. By then, I will naturally enjoy endless wealth and glory, eat endless delicacies from the mountains and the sea, and have endless beautiful women to play with."

Just as Chu Kuangke was daydreaming, a voice that penetrated people's hearts came, "Where is Chu Kuangke? Report to me quickly!"
