Uncle Nine: I became Master Qianhe, and my fame resounded throughout the Daoist sect.

But then someone spoke up.

"How about we call Master Zhao Shanhe over?"

"It was Wu Shilang's subordinate who spoke up."

The other old retainers looked at the servant with displeasure.

Minister Wu looked at him with satisfaction, then smiled and said with a delicate gesture, "Oh, I think it would be better to have Master Zhao escort us to the capital. If we encounter Daoist Qianhe on the way, we can have him take over for Master Zhao, so that Master Zhao can continue on his way back. What do you think?"

The reason he still misses Zhao Shanhe is because Zhao Shanhe was so magnificent.

It allowed him to experience the happiness of being a man, a woman, and a eunuch!

Zhao Shanhe whispered in his ear, saying that Qianhe hadn't arrived yet, and suggested that he go instead.

In reality, Zhao Shanhe wanted to succeed Qianhe, then get in touch with the Qing court, do things for the Qing court, and try to gain some luck.

As mentioned before, the world is different now. The imperial court is still in power, and the emperor is Guangxu. Emperor Guangxu is still trying to turn the tide, which is why the Qing Dynasty was not directly overthrown.

.......................

The other Manchu loyalists looked at each other after hearing this, and all felt that it made a lot of sense.

Chizuru has yet to arrive, and it's unclear when she will be.

However, leaving the matter unresolved is truly not a solution.

If we wait any longer, it will stink to death.

They don't want to smell this stench.

However, they were unaware that the prince was already undergoing a zombie transformation.

Before him stood a prince, and with a wisp of the prince's fortune, he slowly transformed, from a white zombie to a green zombie, then to a jumping zombie, and infinitely close to a black zombie.

He hasn't risen from the dead yet; he's waiting to reach the level of a black zombie!

Once he reaches the Black Zombie, he can absorb a few of these old men's energy, and then he can reach the Hairy Zombie.

Zombie Realms: Purple Zombie, White Zombie, Green Zombie, Jumping Zombie, Black Zombie, Hairy Zombie, Flying Zombie, Wandering Corpse, Lying Corpse, Undying Bone, Ba, Hou!

.....................

At this very moment, inside the Prince's Mansion, the Manchu loyalists were all whispering and gossiping among themselves.

Upon seeing this scene, Minister Wu's face beamed with a smile as bright as spring flowers.

His old flame, Zhao Shanhe, is definitely going to be in a good position this time.

However, at this moment, one of the elders finished his discussion and said directly, "Well, Steward Wu, in that case, let Daoist Zhao Shanhe come!"

"Very well, I'll have a servant go and invite them right away!"

Minister Wu beamed with joy, as if he had just thought of something, and spoke again.

"No, I'll go and invite them myself; that way it will be faster!"

In reality, he just wanted to spend time with Zhao Shanhe before coming over!

Although he has been staying at the Prince's Mansion for the past few days, he went to find Daoist Zhao Shanhe for a tryst before returning to the Prince's Mansion late at night.

The others nodded in agreement, without giving it much thought.

Well, how could they have imagined that this eunuch would have such an illicit affair with the Taoist priest of the Celestial Master's Mansion?

They thought it was Minister Wu, and were anxious to send the prince back to the capital as soon as possible.

........................

Watching his hurried departure, the old men couldn't help but exchange a smile.

"Oh dear, this Steward Wu is truly loyal to the old prince."

"Yes, even though the old prince has passed away, he is still so anxious. He really cares."

"Indeed, indeed, Steward Wu, you are truly a loyal and devoted servant."

These remnants of the Qing dynasty all laughed and joked.

Of course, don't think that calling someone a servant means you're not treating them like a human being.

If this were before the Qing Dynasty, then...

In the Qing Dynasty, a servant could be even more intimate than a subject.

The self-designation "slave" was a privilege reserved for Manchu officials. From princes to palace maids, all Manchu officials who were part of the Eight Banners system had to refer to themselves as "slave" in front of the emperor.

In Manchu, "slave" is called "Aha," which is not derogatory but rather a symbol of a member of the household, carrying a positive connotation.

However, during the Qing Dynasty, "slave" was given a new meaning and became the exclusive self-designation of Manchu officials when addressing the emperor.

Emperor Qianlong once explicitly stipulated that when Manchu and Han officials wrote memorials, they must use the word "臣" (chen, meaning subject) and were not allowed to use "奴才" (nucai, meaning slave).

This fully reflects the Qing emperors' high sensitivity to and deliberate control over the differences in status between Manchu and Han officials.

In addition, there are Manchuria and Seoul.

A large city is divided into two parts, like a circle enclosing it.

The city was inhabited only by Manchus, while the outer city was the Han city. This division was for the purpose of distinguishing between them!

This shows how despicable the Manchu dogs were. However, it was also a good thing that a considerable number of Manchu dogs were slaughtered in Manchu cities during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period.

........................

After a while.

The middle-aged Taoist priest Zhao Shanhe arrived at the Qing Prince's Mansion with a smug look on his face.

The other Manchu loyalists greeted him with smiles on their faces.

They were busy as bees, while Chizuru and the others had already arrived.

Looking at the Qing Prince's Mansion, which was adorned with white lanterns and white silk, Qianhe curled her lips slightly: "A dog is a dog, why is it trying to learn our Han etiquette?"

Looking around in all directions, I felt the same way.

"East, South, West, and North!"

"exist."

"Go and tell them that the ship for the peak competition has arrived," Qianhe said casually.

It was absolutely impossible for him to go in directly. He would either be invited in or he would never set foot in the Prince Qing's mansion.

He didn't want to repeat the mistakes of Qianhe in the original story, having to act according to the whims of Minister Wu all the way.

He Qianhe is determined to strike hard against this sissy and teach him a lesson!

......................

The four people from the four cardinal directions exchanged glances; they had heard some new words again.

"Master, why are you playing in the peak competition? Did he offend you?"

"Yes, why don't you have your apprentice do it for you?"

Ah Dong and Ah Xi spoke up.

They thought their master was going to beat them up.

"You guys can't handle this high-level match, let your master take over!"

"Yes." The four responded in unison, completely trusting their master's words, and stepped forward towards the Prince's Mansion.

Meanwhile, they were wondering what level this peak competition was.

Even if the four of them from the east, west, south, and north worked together, they still couldn't beat them?

"Master Qianhe of Maoshan has arrived!" Adong immediately shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice like a booming bell, echoing throughout the entire palace.
