Chapter 2289: Finding Someone to Make Enemies

"Once our cultivation has improved and we have a higher strength, we will get Tian Fen's list and go to the Immortal Palace to ask for some medicine to prolong life!"

"Row!"

"You should be more serious. You... humph, your parents' life span is not as long as yours!"

"understood!"

After a hearty meal, Zhang Xuezhou sent Li Shaojun out of the city, and Li Shaojun also gave him some instructions.

Li Shaojun felt a pain in his heart whenever he thought of Zhang Xuezhou's ridiculously long life.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't take him to play, and didn't share the benefits with Li Shaojun, but Li Shaojun was sharing sincerely.

Li Shaojun hoped that the two of them could share the joys and sorrows, take risks together to seek benefits, and become increasingly close to each other, and eventually he could influence Zhang Xuezhou, the heartless boy, and when he gets benefits in the future, he would think of giving him a share.

After giving repeated instructions, Li Shaojun stepped onto the carriage and headed towards Luoyang.

This made Zhang Xuezhou stretch himself, feeling that a matter had been temporarily resolved.

It seemed as if he was marked in some way, as Zhang Xuezhou did not meet Zhenyuan Shenjun after arriving at the Izumo Wing Taoist Temple.

Unable to communicate with Zhenyuan Shenjun, Zhang Xuezhou felt that sending Li Shaojun away would make no difference.

Now that they are no longer seeing each other, Zhenyuan Shenjun is relieved and Li Shaojun is not in danger of his life.

Zhang Xuezhou was quite satisfied with this arrangement, especially since he also got a sharp weapon called Yuchang Sword, which he used intermittently, from Li Shaojun, and the recipe for the Eight-Step Immortality Pill.

"It's been so long, I don't know if anyone has violated the rules and removed me from my position as Taizhong Doctor."

Thinking of his good luck in getting benefits after returning to Chang'an City, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but think of the promotion of "Jieshi Zhong" for being close to the new emperor, and the additional position of Taizhong Daifu.

The reason why Zhang Xuezhou did not feel any trouble in his position as Taizhong Doctor was simple. He had disappeared since taking office, and only Jinchang, who had been waiting for him, had seen him once.

After Zhang Xuezhou revised the etiquette of the Mingtang uniforms, he simply ran away.

After nearly half a year, the Zhang family's house finally calmed down.

But as long as he enters the court and participates in government affairs for a period of time, all kinds of troubles of this position will inevitably follow, and even Zhenyuan Shenjun will not be able to solve the troubles if he sits in Anle Palace.

Zhang Xuezhou had been looking forward to leaving his job before, and he was still looking forward to leaving his position and having a relaxing time.

"Go to the Imperial City District!"

Without the magical powers to move freely in his body, the Cloud-Flying Technique became useless, and Zhang Xuezhou had no choice but to ride in a carriage.

He hopes that good luck will continue to come his way so that his body can return to normal sooner and he can live like a normal person.

"I don't have the Cloud-Flying Technique to travel quickly. It's not easy to see His Majesty. We need to be close to each other over a short distance. I need to find some convenience!"

It took Zhang Xuezhou nearly three hours to travel from the gate of Chang'an City to the Imperial City District and then into the Imperial Palace.

Even if he didn't go to the palace from the city gate, but started from Laoshu Hutong, it would not take him a short time to reach the palace.

If he wanted to meet the new emperor often and maintain a close distance, it was obviously better for him to live as close to the palace as possible.

After purchasing stable property a few years ago, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but have some better ideas.

"Only the Three Dukes, Nine Ministers and the royal family can live in the palaces allocated by the court for free. This path is no longer feasible. However, the money required to buy an official residence is extremely high. The official residences in the imperial city area start at a minimum of 1,000 taels of gold, and they can only be released by the court after their property is confiscated!"

Zhang Xuezhou thought about it and felt that it would be extremely difficult for him to ask for a favor.

In the past, he lacked the qualifications to buy a house. Now, he has some qualifications but lacks a lot of money and needs to wait for an opportunity.

The official residences of the Han Dynasty court are not the residences of officials of the Red Alliance, but rather the gathering points representing huge interests. The official residences of the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers are similar to the residences of the Changkong family, the Zhou family and other members, while other official residences are similar to the representative offices of members from various provinces and cities and large groups and powerful forces.

The owners of such official residences near the imperial palace are not short of money and will not sell their houses. Only after the court falls from power and the houses are confiscated and handed over to the national treasury, can they be put up for sale. It seems that you only need a house near the imperial palace in the imperial city area, but this house is not easy to find.

Zhang Xuezhou thought about it for a while but still had no idea.

Relying on his power as a 'Jieshizhong', he strolled around the Weiyang Palace, chatting and getting acquainted with the many guards from time to time, so as to avoid the need for repeated inspections the next time he entered the palace.

"Captain Li!"

"So you are the Grand Secretary Dongfang Shuo. Where is your official robe?"

When he saw Li Guang, the chief guard of the Weiyang Palace, Zhang Xuezhou also extended his hand to greet him.

Listening to Li Guang's responses to his questions, Zhang Xuezhou felt that Li Guang was most likely an inspector of court robes.

This made him look at the bachelor's gown he was wearing, and then he waved at Li Guang.

"I am not here to attend court, but to discuss knowledge with Your Majesty. It is not appropriate for me to wear the official robe of Taizhong Daifu," said Zhang Xuezhou.

"There is such a ritual?" Li Guang was surprised. "I thought that everyone entering and leaving the palace had to dress according to their official rank!"

"How is that possible?" Zhang Xuezhou laughed.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Li Guang complained, "Your Majesty asked me to arrest those who don't dress properly. Don't you know how many people have scolded you for your clothes these days?"

"Uh, is there anyone violating the rules in the court?" Zhang Xuezhou asked happily.

"That's not the case," Li Guang shook his head and said, "Some people didn't wear their clothes correctly at the time, but they had official robes in their bags, so it wasn't difficult to change clothes. Officials of the same salary level could lend a set to others for emergency use without any problems!"

"Oh okay!"

Zhang Xuezhou was greatly disappointed and felt that it would be extremely difficult to get everyone to violate the rules.

If no one suffers any misfortune because of it, he may be scolded, but those who scold him will not criticize or impeach him for it.

Before he even met the new emperor, Zhang Xuezhou realized that his joy was in vain. The position of Taizhong Daifu was still hanging on his head, and he could not remove it even if the new emperor wanted to.

"Everyone has been adapting for two months, and now they are used to it. It is unlikely that they will make mistakes in dressing in the future." Li Guang said: "Now you explain this etiquette again, I think I understand it completely, and it will be much easier in the future!"

"The role of etiquette is just to regulate. I'm not trying to cause trouble for others." Zhang Xuezhou laughed dryly and said, "It's natural that everyone adapts quickly!"

Zhang Xuezhou's original purpose was to cause trouble for others and then cause resentment and strip him of his position as Taizhong Daifu.

But Zhang Xuezhou did not expect that so many senior officials adapted so quickly. Not only did no one violate the rules during these days, but they also formed a habit and adapted to the change of uniforms and systems.

"You have to find someone to make enemies with!"

He thought about it for a few seconds and felt that he had to continue.

After being criticized and reported to the emperor, the new emperor quickly responded by dismissing Zhang Xuezhou from his post, thus shutting up the gossips and freeing Zhang Xuezhou from his position.

But it is difficult to find fault. Zhang Xuezhou has always been kind to others and has very little experience in doing evil things.

"Do you want to take advantage of your drunkenness to beat someone up? To be honest, I'm in great shape right now, so I'll be much more confident in a fight!"

Zhang Xuezhou thought about the related evil deeds and then thought about Guan Fu who had lost his job. Finally, he felt that he had some qualifications to imitate Guan Fu's behavior.

He only had magical skills before, and he couldn't cast spells smoothly even after getting drunk.

Of course, Zhang Xuezhou’s level in direct combat is also very poor, and there is a high probability that he cannot defeat many high-ranking officials in the court.

At this moment, relying on his body that can withstand the Yuchang sword in its natural state and the strength to slap Li Shaojun's teeth away with two slaps, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he could fight with most people.

It's normal to get beaten up when you're drunk and causing trouble, and everyone will just laugh it off.

But if someone gets drunk and causes trouble and beats up someone, the person who gets beaten won't be able to laugh anymore.
