I am a living immortal.

In every village, even in a prosperous county like Yanliang, if you randomly ask someone what they most want to do, their first choice will be the Zhenbei Army. This is simply because the Zhenbei Army has inextricable ties with the various cities in the northern border area.

This is also the base of the Zhenbei Army.

It can be said that they have achieved mutual success. The Zhenbei Army can still stand in Youcheng today, which is inseparable from the continuous logistics and replenishment of the cities in the northern border. There is a saying in the northern border that you can not know the emperor, but you must know the Zhenbei Army.

So when they saw the Zhenbei Army cavalry leading the way, everyone's face was filled with admiration. Of course, the Zhenbei Army's influence was limited to the northern border, and beyond the northern border, it was no longer so. But the passage was still unimpeded, except that the eyes of the people along the way were less admiring and more curious.

Generally speaking, the Han Dynasty was not a country that valued military power over culture. A combination of both civil and military skills was what the Han Dynasty desired. But how should one put it? People always have some biases in their hearts. Most Han people were tough and had a natural yearning for the strong, regardless of whether they were civil or military.

The deputy supervisor of the Tianshi Division also told Chen Dong about it.

The civil service is a complex group, and despite its many protections, it's still possible to find two or three exceptional individuals, capable of bringing peace to the world with their pens and decisive battles on horseback. Such individuals do exist, and it can even be said that such individuals are standard in aristocratic families.

The same is true in reverse. It is not enough for a military officer to just know how to fight. He must also be proficient in military tactics.

However, they are not as outrageous as the civil servants. The military officer group is relatively pure and not as complicated as the civil servants.

"What about you, the Heavenly Supervisor?"

"The Tianshi Supervisor is an exception."

"Why is it special?" Chen Dong was quite curious. He could see that the general of the Zhenbei Army looked down on the people in front of him, but he did not seem to have much hostility towards the Jiantian Division, and even respected him.

The deputy supervisor smiled bitterly and said, "The reason why the Tianshi Supervisory Department is able to stay outside the civil service group is entirely because of the Supervisory Department."

"The Astronomical Supervision Department has five deputy supervisors, each with their own duties, and they rotate. However, there has only been one Chief Supervisor since the department was established. Even if this person resigns, the emperor would rather leave the position vacant than have someone else take it. It can be said that the existence of the Astronomical Supervision Department depends entirely on the Chief Supervisor."

"Don't ask. You'll understand all this when you reach the capital," the deputy supervisor explained briefly. In fact, everyone in the imperial city knew that the Supervisor of the Heavenly Bureau was none other than the former Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince. The Han Dynasty at that time was plagued by internal and external troubles, and it was this prince's ascendance to power that completely resolved them. He promoted culture and education, emphasized martial arts, drove the Xiongnu north, and conquered the Baiyue south, ultimately establishing the powerful Han Dynasty.

While this former prince, now emperor, was doing all this, there was always someone standing behind him, and that was the current Director of the Astronomical Bureau.

After his rule was completely stabilized, he refused the position of Prime Minister and went to the then little-known Imperial Observatory. However, he did not like the name, so he changed the Imperial Observatory to the Astronomical Observatory.

This is how the name came to be, a truly powerful one. Although he had resigned, the current emperor still consulted with him on important matters. It could be said that this Supervisor was a true prime minister, the head of all officials. Unfortunately, he was lazy, and publicly claimed that his years of mental exertion had damaged him, making him incompetent and unfit for the court, lest he miss important matters for the country. As for the truth behind this, no one knows; perhaps it was related to the previous emperor, but after all, over a hundred years had passed, and no one had bothered to investigate.

The emperor had no choice but to agree to it in the end despite the ridiculous reason.

The Jiantiansi was also called a retirement place by this supervisor.

It can be said to be both laughable and sad, which is why it is said that the Tianshi has a special status.

Chen Dong didn't understand, but he didn't ask. He would find out when he arrived in the capital.

They ran all the way without stopping much along the way.

The precious horse of the Zhenbei Army ran for several days without stopping, as if it had endless energy. It only stopped briefly at the post stations along the way to drink water and chew grass.

It took five days to run like this.

The capital of the Han Dynasty finally appeared before everyone's eyes. It was larger and more solemn than ordinary cities.

From afar, it looked as if a black dragon was circling in the sky, monitoring the world. Various auras rose into the sky. The most eye-catching of these were the three gold and nine purple auras, the twelve of which were the most powerful.

I guess these are the three dukes and nine ministers of the civil service group.

Then the black dragon must be the current emperor. Chen Dong decided to take a closer look and naturally used the Qi-Observing Technique. However, as a novice, he overlooked one point: this observation was mutual; when Chen Dong was observing, they could sense it.

So Chen Dong suddenly met dozens of pairs of eyes.

No, it was dozens of pairs of eyes falling on him.

Among these eyes, some are curious, some are displeased, some are kind, some contain coldness, and some are full of interest and admiration like a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger.

After the initial panic, Chen Dong responded to these looks one by one. He responded to the kind ones with kindness and to the disdainful ones with disdain, with the main message being, "I won't pamper you. What are you looking at? Look at Lao Deng, look at your mother."

These people in high positions have never seen such a situation before.

Barbaric, unreasonable, outrageous! !

Those who were given the cold shoulder by Chen Dong had a burning rage in their eyes, but it didn't burn. When the situation was uncertain, these old foxes were still very good at finding a way out for themselves.

He was not as knowledgeable as him and it was a loss of face. Chen Dong did not understand how these people were able to express so many emotions with their eyes. But his arrival still brought a different kind of vitality to this solemn ancient city.

Stirring up ripples on the calm water surface one after another.

This was the beginning of the stranger's arrival in the capital. He was completely unafraid of anyone, and he gave no respect to anyone. "Whoever you are, you have no right to control me." This was certainly not something Chen Dong did casually, but something he did intentionally to express an attitude.

That means I was invited by you, not forced to come.

Chen Dong clearly understood that he couldn't be humble at this moment. The more humble he was, the less people would take him seriously, and the more they would manipulate him. He held no official position, wasn't even from this world, and yet he was incredibly powerful. Even if you were a high-ranking official, what did it matter to me?

Your rules don't apply to me at all.

Rules are only effective within the rules, and there is no way to deal with those outside the rules. Chen Dong is in this situation now, so those bigwigs who were given the cold shoulder by him can only grit their teeth and swallow their anger, and then find a way out for themselves.

Of course, the reason why Chen Dong dared to do this was because he was strong enough, otherwise he would be ruthlessly crushed to death even if he was outside the rules.
