Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 483 Promotion
"Master, the fifth prince is here and wants to see you."

The old steward said.

He was still breathing heavily, and it was obvious that he was anxious.

Right.

It is understandable that ordinary people would not be surprised when seeing the prince, let alone in the imperial city of Kyoto, where they would be even more awed.

"okay, I get it."

Li Rui put down the ancient book in his hand, walked out of the room slowly and came to the front yard.

Then he saw the fifth prince Zhu Qian standing in the yard with his hands behind his back, fiddling with the flowers and plants with great interest.

Li Rui's heart moved slightly.

He had worked with Zhu Qian in the Spirit Mine for many years and knew too well the Fifth Prince's spoiled character. It had always been others who waited for him, but today he waited for others without any anger at all, which was simply unprecedented.

"The fifth prince."

Li Rui cupped his hands.

Zhu Qian stopped what he was doing, straightened up and looked at Li Rui with a smile: "Master Li, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I heard that you have made a breakthrough. Congratulations."

"Thank you, Fifth Prince."

Li Rui still looked polite.

Then he led Zhu Qian into the main hall.

Asked the butler to make a pot of tea.

I specially brought some good tea from home.

Although he did not have a good relationship with the fifth prince Zhu Qian, the other party was a prince, and it was Li Rui's own rule to treat him with more courtesy, regardless of the individual.

A few pleasantries were exchanged.

The fifth prince Zhu Qian spoke up: "Lord Li, perhaps we had some misunderstandings before."

Misunderstand?

There was no ripple in Li Rui's heart.

There was indeed no misunderstanding between him and Zhu Qian.

Not to mention the past, just yesterday, if he hadn't deliberately broken through, Zhu Qian's confidant Zhou Tong would have already taken action.

"I don't understand what the Fifth Prince is saying."

Li Rui put down the teacup in his hand.

Zhu Qian narrowed his eyes.

"He is really an old fox."

He knew Li Rui's temperament, he was cautious, calm, and would never leave any loopholes for outsiders.

Zhu Qian also knew it.

It’s different in the past.

Li Rui is no longer the third-rank official of Tongxuan. It is too self-righteous for a prince like him to want to control a celestial realm.

It is precisely knowing this truth.

That's why Zhu Qian didn't want to make the relationship between the two parties too awkward.

Moreover, in Zhu Qian's opinion, Li Rui didn't know that he valued his physique, and the conflict between the two was just some friction during the time at the Shiwanshan Spiritual Mine.

It's not difficult to resolve.

Zhu Qian didn't say anything, just raised his hand, and then saw Benshi take out an ancient book from his arms.

Take the ancient book.

Zhu Qian then spoke: "I heard that Lord Li is an expert in both talisman and array. This book Yin-Yang Talisman is a second-level talisman technique. Perhaps it will be useful to Lord Li. A treasure goes well with a great man. I wish Lord Li to improve his talisman array in advance and enhance the prestige of our Great Yu nation."

There was a strange flash in Li Rui's eyes.

This fifth prince has changed a lot from what he remembered.

Perhaps it was due to experience, or perhaps it was because of a change in the status of both parties.

Yin and Yang Talisman
'It's really a big deal.'

As a third-level talisman master, Li Rui certainly knows the value of second-level talismans.

Even Prince Zhu Qian can be said to have invested a huge amount of money.

Very sincere.

Li Rui laughed and said, "Thank you very much, Fifth Prince."

As he said this, he took the ancient book from Zhu Qian's hand.

He displayed his skills instead of attacking directly.

Firstly, it was impossible for the capital to allow him to kill a person at the Tianxiang realm, who was Zhu Qian and the national teacher’s man; secondly, he had no intention of completely breaking off relations with the royal family.

note.

It's the royal family, not Zhu Qian.

The royal family is most concerned about their reputation. When Zhu Qian caused such a big incident, in the end he was only deprived of his title as a vassal king and was placed under house arrest, that was all.

Li Rui certainly knew that fighting to the death would do him no good.

Even if they want to take action, it should at least be outside the capital.

As long as Zhu Qian is still in the capital, that is absolutely impossible.

Li Rui was not so foolish as to forcibly kill a prince and then escape to the East China Sea to hide his identity.

To put it bluntly, it hasn't reached that point yet.

It is a good result that Zhu Qian is willing to reconcile.

of course.

He would not let his guard down against Zhu Qian just because of this, he was just trying to maintain superficial decency.

It doesn't matter whether you collect the Yin-Yang talisman or not.

In this case, there is certainly no reason not to accept it.

Li Rui collected the things.

Zhu Qian's attitude was obviously much better. Although the two of them couldn't say that they had a very pleasant conversation, they were still harmonious.

Afterwards, he even took the initiative to explain what happened in Shiwan Mountain.

He said that he was being harsh because he failed to make a breakthrough and was in a bad mood.

After compiling history, his temperament has become much calmer.

of course.

Li Rui didn't believe a word of these words.

Zhu Qian said this because he was afraid of his celestial realm.

Zhu Qian was sent out of the house by Li Rui with a smile on his face.

In a gorgeous carriage.

The smile on Zhu Qian's face faded, and there was even a hint of indifference.

"That's quite sensible."

he whispered.

An official like Li Rui is a very good one. He would not be so stubborn as to think that he has made a mortal enemy just because of what happened before.

Although he is a prince, he is not afraid of a celestial realm.

But if Li Rui was determined to fight him to the death, it would be extremely uncomfortable.

The results now are very good.

Do not know why.

Zhu Qian felt disgusted.

He was a prince, yet he had to be so humble to a former old groom.

"When I ascend the throne, I will settle all the accounts."

Think of this.

Zhu Qian felt better, and even a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He is indeed in a much better mood now.

'be patient.'

In the royal study.

"Alright, alright, Zilu, Changsheng, stop arguing. Li Rui is indeed a talented person."

The Holy Emperor was about to comfort him.

Originally, I was thinking of saying that Li Rui was not worth causing a quarrel between these two pillars of the court.

But he also found that Li Rui was indeed extremely talented, and in the end he could only say that he was a talented person.

Li Rui's promotion.

It could have been finalized long ago, but it became difficult because of the insistence of Gu Changsheng, the usually casual director of the Imperial Observatory.

mainly.

The Holy Emperor also felt guilty.

After all, he also played an indispensable role in Zhang Shoufu's poaching.

In the past, it was a dispute between the Xuanlin and Lin factions.

Neither side wanted the other's people to become high-ranking officials. Now, the two allies, Gu Changsheng and Zhang Zilu, started quarreling.

This is really the first time.

"Zhang Zilu, Li Rui is a talent I discovered. You have used him for many years. Now it is time to return him. When you were in the Ministry of Revenue, you always said that if you borrow, you must return. It will not be difficult to borrow again. Have you forgotten now?"

Gu Changsheng said.

Zhang Shoufu said calmly, "Brother Changsheng, Li Rui's talent has been wasted by going to the Imperial Observatory. He can only be most effective if he stays in the Xunshan Division."

Gu Changsheng was so angry that he laughed:

"Tell me, how much more powerful is a deputy director of the Xunshan Division than the deputy director of the Imperial Observatory?"

Zhang Shoufu still looked calm:

"Brother Changsheng may be wrong. Li Rui stayed in my Xunshan Division not as the deputy director, but as the Taiping Commander."

I heard the three words "Taiping Ling".

Even Gu Changsheng was silent for a while.

Taiping Ling is a very special official position in Xunshan Division, second only to Zhang Shoufu, and even slightly higher in status than other deputies.

It's not that his rank is higher, but that the things he is in charge of are too special.

Test the immortal officials and preside over the ceremonies.

This immortal official is not that immortal official. Rather, he is the immortal cultivator who is willing to serve as an official in the court.

The Taiping Order is to find immortal cultivators who are suitable to be officials and to test these immortal cultivators.

Originally, this matter should be done by the Ministry of Personnel.

But Prime Minister Zhang believed that special times should be handled with special care, and the Ministry of Personnel was simply unable to handle the matter, so he gave this power to the Xunshan Division and established the Taiping Order to be in charge.

But precisely because of the special circumstances of the time, the first Taiping Order was Prime Minister Zhang himself.

As for presiding over the ceremony, everything seemed normal on the surface.

But in fact it is even more special, it is used to monitor luck and communicate with the world of immortals!

It can be considered a replica of the Minister of Rites.

Even Gu Changsheng didn't expect this.

Prime Minister Zhang was actually willing to give such an important position to Li Rui.

In comparison, the deputy director of the Imperial Observatory is indeed inferior.

The Minister of Personnel is called the Tianguan among the people, and the Minister of Rites is called the Chunguan.

The Taiping Order is the Heavenly Official and the Spring Official for cultivators!
The power is great, there is no doubt about it.

Hear the Taiping Order.

There was a glimmer of cunning in Gu Changsheng's eyes.

He changed his usual behavior and quarreled with Prime Minister Zhang just because of what happened today.

Whether Li Rui worked at the Imperial Observatory or not, they were all his people.

The better the other person is, the happier he is to see it.

Although he was happy in his heart, he still kept a straight face and said to the Holy Emperor, "Your Majesty has to make the decision on this matter. Zhang Zilu has no say in it."

The Holy Emperor looked at the two people in the imperial study.

Squinting his eyes, with a smile on his lips.

If he still doesn't understand at this time, then he would have wasted his holy name for a hundred years.

These two are clearly playing a double act for him.

The Holy Emperor slapped his thigh and laughed:
"good."

"Then just follow Zilu's will."
