Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 560: Persuading Jin Biao

"Fellow Daoist Chu, I have something here that I need your help to complete." Gu Xu looked at Chu Fengge beside him and said.

"whats the matter?"

Hearing that Gu Xu asked for help from him, Chu Fengge felt particularly happy: Even the saints and strong men have things they can't do, and they need help from me, Chu Fengge. I, Chu Fengge, am indeed unique and irreplaceable in this world. of.

However, he still maintained an iceberg-like cold expression on his face, trying his best to hide his joy.

Gu Xu pondered for a moment and briefly described what happened in Yihe County to Chu Fengge.

Before he finished speaking, Chu Fengge immediately jumped up angrily.

"Damn dog officer, you actually did such a shameful thing! I'm going to kill that bastard Zhu Yanchao with my sword!"

Although Chu Fengge often behaves inappropriately due to his excessive narcissism, he is actually a person with a great sense of justice in his heart.

When he was in the Lu family's haunted house last year, when he learned that Daqi soldiers were humiliating the prisoners' women and servants in private, he felt furious and threatened to castrate all those scum.

Today, if Gu Xu hadn't pulled him, he might have rushed out without looking back.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, there are a few things I need to explain to you," Gu Xu looked at Chu Fengge and said seriously, "First of all, you can go chop down those scorpion monsters on Fuyu Mountain. Otherwise, just killing Zhu Yanchao will treat the symptoms of Yihe County’s problems but not the root cause.”

Hearing that there was another monster to kill, Chu Fengge patted his chest and said confidently: "No problem, I'll take care of it all."

"In addition, if you find out during the mission that other officials, especially Da Qi's recent demotion, are involved, don't act rashly. I will handle these." Gu Xu continued.

Chu Fengge stopped smiling and frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy.

He felt that Gu Xu underestimated his ability.

When Chu Fengge was about to draw his sword and walk outside the house again, Gu Xu pulled him back again.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, you have just joined the rebel army. You have no official position and no job. It is unfair to go and do things." Gu Xu said, turning to look at Luo Chuan next to him, "Wenchang, do you think you should give Chu What kind of title is more appropriate for a fellow Taoist?"

Hearing the word "title", Chu Fengge perked up and stared straight at Luochuan. A lot of words like "General of the Universe" and "Great Demon-Slayer" flashed through his mind. Marshal", "Mighty Governor" and other cool titles.

"Emperor, Chu Fengge has not made any achievements yet. If you rashly grant him a high position, I'm afraid you won't be able to convince everyone," Luo Chuan replied, "It's better to let him be an imperial envoy first and act on behalf of heaven temporarily."

"Imperial Envoy" means "Imperial Envoy Minister".

The imperial envoy of the Da Qi Dynasty now has a bad reputation and has become a lucrative job.

These envoys holding the emperor's scepter were supposed to deal with special matters, be fair and impartial, and take down all local corrupt elements in the name of the emperor.

However, the imperial envoys of the Daqi Dynasty often "only drew their bows, but did not fire arrows." They did not go to the prefecture or county where the incident occurred, nor did they go to interrogate the criminals. Instead, they colluded with local officials, accepting bribes, eating, drinking and having fun.

As for the outcome of the case, the imperial envoy doesn't care, and neither does Emperor Tianxing.

There were even imperial envoys like Tang Hui who took advantage of the opportunity to raid the house, burned, killed, raped and looted, turning the Lu family's mansion into a ghost house.

During Princess Zhaoning's reign, she did try to change the status quo, but as a mortal with no cultivation, she ultimately did not have enough deterrence and control over the officialdom, and every decree ended up being a piece of paper.

Gu Xu thought for a moment and said, "Okay."

He raised his pen in the air and sketched a few talismans at random.

The tip of the Jinghong pen emits light golden light, transforming into an unpretentious eight-foot bamboo pole with three knots made of yak tails. At this time, Gu Xu had not yet ascended the throne, so he could not grant the scepter to his subordinates. But among the rebels, no one should be able or dare to say the word "no".

"Do your job well," Gu Xu solemnly handed the scepter to Chu Fengge, "don't ruin the reputation of the envoy under my rule."

Chu Fengge took the scepter.

Logically speaking, he should bow and thank him now.

Although he accepted Gu Xu's poems, gained Gu Xu's appreciation, and had the opportunity he had always wanted to show off his skills and punish his sins, he still could not let go of his pride in front of Gu Xu. With a straight face and his chin raised higher, he turned and walked out of the house.

When he took off with his sword, the entire Liangzhou City heard his loud chanting of poetry:

"I am Shanshui Lang of Qingdu, a disciple of Tianjiao and Shu Kuang..."

…………

"Hey, this Zhuzi is really troublesome for the emperor." After Chu Fengge left, Luo Chuan shook his head and sighed, "Not only is he unruly, but he also bothers the emperor to write poems for him..."

"Fortunately," Gu Xu smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "I actually didn't write that word. I copied it from the memory of that kid from another world. I thought it was appropriate today, so I used it. "

Although Gu Xu didn't like to use the power of "control" to forcefully control the thoughts of his subordinates like the original Emperor Ziwei did.

But from the memory of "ruling" Dao Ze and the remnant soul of Emperor Ziwei, he gradually learned to gain the loyalty of his ministers by meeting their different material and spiritual needs.

Chu Fengge was narcissistic, vain, and eager to be respected, so Gu Xu spared no effort to praise and coax him.

Anyway, words don’t cost money.

In Gu Xu's opinion, it is much easier to deal with such a middle-aged young man with ideals and enthusiasm than to deal with middle-aged practitioners who only care about salary and resources.

And Luochuan is also a person who cares more about spiritual satisfaction than material enjoyment.

But it’s different from Chu Fengge.

What Luochuan needs is not rainbow fart, but the unique trust from the emperor.

For example, at present, when everyone else thinks that Gu Xu is the reincarnation of Emperor Ziwei, Luo Chuan is the only person in Dahuang who knows the complete plan of Emperor Ziwei to use the soul of another world to seize his body and be reborn.

From time to time, Gu Xu revealed to him some unknown and insignificant "little secrets", such as "copied a poem from another world", "the boy from another world resisted fiercely when he took the body", "the other world's kid resisted fiercely", "the other world's boy resisted fiercely" That kid tried to summon the Jinghong Pen Artifact Spirit to harm me, but I saw through it. "That kid from another world didn't even touch a woman in his previous life," and so on.

On the one hand, it allows Gu Xu to play the role of "Emperor Ziwei who succeeded in seizing the body" more realistically.

On the other hand, it can also give Luo Chuan a feeling of being trusted and trusted without reservation, which makes Luo Chuan believe that for these long thousands of years, he has been the first favorite of Emperor Zi Wei and no one can replace him. His position next to Emperor Ziwei.

Sure enough, as soon as Gu Xu finished speaking, Luo Chuan's expression became visibly happy as if he had been scratched, and the corners of his mouth could not help but raise slightly, and he praised the emperor's recent martial arts skills more vigorously.

Just when Luo Chuan was talking about "the emperor will rule the wilderness just around the corner", a paper attendant hurriedly walked into the room, holding more than ten official documents and respectfully handed them to Gu Xu.

"Emperor, Ren Guanxiong, Yu Kunwei and others have presented me with a memorial, and I beg you to personally sign it." I heard the paper man say in a very lifelike voice.

Gu Xu took the watch and looked down.

The two big words "Encouragement" caught his eye instantly.
