Chapter 2551 Chang'an Secret Place
"congratulations!"

"Joy and rejoice together!"

"Congratulations!"

Getting promoted is a good thing.

Although the mourning period for the Empress Dowager was still going on and people were not allowed to smile, many people could not hide their joy.

In the main hall of Weiyang Palace, people were constantly being promoted to new positions, being congratulated, and asking what kind of work they should do, creating a lot of noise.

Looking at the new emperor with twitching face and Tian Fen whose mouth was almost cracked, Zhang Xuezhou found it difficult to complain.

He stood on the high platform in front of the Golden Throne Hall, feeling a little unhappy, adhering to the duties of a fake eunuch and waiting for the end of this court meeting.

"If there is something going on, go ahead and leave if there is nothing going on!"

When the new emperor found it difficult to sit still, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but shout twice to remind him.

"Yes, let's adjourn the court. Leave these small matters to me!"

Tian Fen seemed to come back to his senses, agreed with joy on his face, and patted his chest to make a promise.

"Ok!"

The new emperor hummed in response.

Since he didn't get any high-ranking official, it didn't matter whether he wanted the low-ranking officials he was assigned to or not. Many of the low-ranking officials were fence-sitters who would go along with whichever side was blown. They were subordinates of officials at all levels and were not directly connected to the emperor, nor would they appear in the court.

Apart from inserting too many people into the court and laying off many officials, Tian Fen had no other problems.

The new emperor stood up and signaled to the empress dowager, who also stood up.

Things were not quite as planned, but replacing the officials at Anle Palace went too smoothly, almost too smoothly.

There were no disobedient people, no chaos, and no resistance. Everything was carried out very smoothly. This was completely different from the confrontation between the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Dou.

The situation in the court is extremely stable at the moment, and the Empress Dowager is obviously quite satisfied with this situation.

The remaining minor details are not important, and the emperor and the empress dowager do not need to keep an eye on the rotation and handover of some minor officials.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about the Prime Minister. He is your uncle. No matter what he does, he is working for Your Majesty!"

When leaving from the back door of Weiyang Palace, the empress dowager gave the new emperor some instructions, which made the new emperor nod repeatedly.

"I'm just upset that my uncle has assigned too many people to me and left me no position," the new emperor complained, "If I meet some talented people in the future and there's no place for them, I can't just dismiss the people my uncle assigned to me!"

"Officials are promoted or demoted based on their political achievements and merits," said the Empress Dowager. "The Han Dynasty has produced many talented people. Talented people will not be buried and can climb up based on their political achievements. In addition, your uncle has been recruiting retainers for you over the years, waiting for you to take charge and make arrangements. His thoughts are still worth seeing!"

"That's what the queen said!"

The new emperor nodded repeatedly.

Walking out along the corridor of the rear hall, we turned to the area behind the main hall of Weiyang Palace.

After the Empress Dowager finished talking with the new Emperor, she looked at Zhang Xuezhou with a very friendly expression.

"You are close to His Majesty, so you should interact with His Majesty more often. You can also come to Anle Palace when you are free. Perhaps you can also complete the chapter of Liezi in Changxin Palace!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Xuezhou lowered his head and responded quickly.

He hadn't seen Empress Dou these days, but he had socialized with the Empress Dowager and was even invited by her to visit Changsheng Palace.

Zhang Xuezhou found it difficult to complain for the moment. Han Yan would probably be very envious of everything he had experienced.

But Zhang Xuezhou did not expect that he would meet Tian Fen in the Wei River and be so kind to him. He never thought that he could establish such a relationship.

Of course, if he could go back in time, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he would still choose Empress Dou.

This is not only because Zhenyuan Shenjun, Li Shaojun and others are involved with Dou Taizhu, but more importantly, Zhang Xuezhou cannot get involved in the mother-son relationship between the Empress Dowager and the new emperor, especially since the Empress Dowager also practices Yunshu. No matter which side he supports, he will offend the other side, thus inducing possible problems. For Zhang Xuezhou, he tries to keep good relations with Yunshu practitioners as much as possible, so as not to cause disaster without thinking.

He came here to solve his own problems and fight against the extraterritorial demons, not to get stuck in this confusion.

If you think about it from a perspective of perspective, the chaos in the court had little impact on Zhang Xuezhou.

"Do you want to switch with Han Yan?"

The Empress Dowager went back to the Changxin Palace on the left, and the new emperor went back to the Weiyang Palace on the right.

After bowing and saying goodbye to the Empress Dowager and walking some distance apart, the new emperor looked at Zhang Xuezhou and complained.

"No, no, no, I'm ready," said Zhang Xuezhou.

"What have you prepared?" asked the new emperor.

"I learned that Marquis Wuqiang was afraid of having his house confiscated, so he sold his official residence on Linlu Street in the imperial city at a low price in advance. I borrowed money from His Majesty and registered my name in Jingzhao Yi Mansion. All I need to do is meet with Marquis Wuqiang to discuss the deal." Zhang Xuezhou said quickly, "The house is next to the East Sima Gate, and around the corner is the Tangyi Mansion of Empress Dou. I have only been to Changxin Palace once or twice, but I have been to Tangyi Mansion many times!"

"That's fine!"

The new emperor nodded, indicating that Zhang Xuezhou's choice was correct.

Although Zhang Xuezhou is paralyzed at home, his work efficiency is still quite good.

Before Han Yan could come to any conclusion on what he had been investigating, Zhang Xuezhou received an invitation to the Changxin Palace and was able to move his house to the vicinity of Empress Dou's Tangyi Marquis Mansion.

From the moment he took over the task, Zhang Xuezhou had already started planning.

Compared with Han Yan and others, the older Zhang Xuezhou is obviously better.

Apart from his physical problems, the new emperor could not find any flaws in Zhang Xuezhou, and this illness was caused by injuries sustained during official business.

He could only sigh and mentioned that Tian Fen had placed too many people in the court, and the court was almost full of officials, so it would be difficult to promote people in the future.

"We have repeatedly wanted to help Your Majesty, but our limited strength prevents us from doing much!"

Zhang Xuezhou did not respond to this dispute within the court, but instead sighed repeatedly.

"The court assumes that cultivation is the basis for official positions. We are not strong enough to ascend to high positions and bring shame to Your Majesty. I don't know if there is any good method or strategy that can guide the supernatural power or push us to the state of self-centeredness!" Zhang Xuezhou sighed.

"This matter... I learned something from the late emperor, saying that there is a secret place near Chang'an City." The new emperor thought for a moment before saying, "If we can get the help of the secret place, improving our practice should be like moving with the flow!"

"Secret places all have owners, right?"

Zhang Xuezhou replied.

Not only did he know that there was a secret place near Chang'an City, he also borrowed it from the Holy Mother Wu Dang for several hours to use, and thus condensed the Gourd Pill.

The spiritual energy of the secret place can help boost one's cultivation, but entering the secret place for a short time is of little use. Only by being influenced by it in the secret place for many years can long-term positive benefits be formed.

Even if Holy Mother Wu Dang was willing to receive him, Zhang Xuezhou felt that few people would be willing to live in that kind of underground palace for a long time. At least Zhang Xuezhou was unwilling to go there.

Compared to living in a secret place all year round, he might as well find a spiritual jade to carry with him.

The new emperor’s suggestion was good, but Zhang Xuezhou thought it was useless.

"That secret place has no owner," the new emperor denied, "at least it has no owner in the past hundred years. The previous emperor missed the opportunity to visit the secret place because he was not allowed to enter. If we can enter it, we will definitely be able to gather the essence of the place and truly benefit from it. We may even be able to guide Han Yan and others into the realm of magical powers!"

"No owner?"

Zhang Xuezhou was stunned after hearing this.

Obviously, there is not only the secret place of Holy Mother Wu Dang near Chang'an City, but there is another secret place.

If no one enters the secret place for a long time, spiritual energy will accumulate, thus forming the grand occasion of the Yin-Yang secret place.

If one could enter it, the spiritual energy accumulated over a hundred years would permeate the body like mist, bringing an effect far greater than that of any powerful medicine.
