Chapter 62【Emperor's Teacher?】

“Your Majesty has heard that there is an immortal in Julu who can call the wind and rain, is proficient in alchemy, and wields the power of thunder. You are overwhelmed with longing and wish to come in person to share the secrets of immortality with him.

However, the emperor bears the heavy responsibility of the country and the expectations of the people, and he cannot move his throne lightly, so he specially ordered the two of us to invite the great and virtuous teacher to come to Luoyang.

After the immortal enters the palace, he will be rewarded with high positions and generous salaries, given precious treasures and beauties, and treated as an imperial teacher."

The two people kneeling on the ground were trembling slightly, not knowing whether it was due to excessive excitement or fear, and even their speech was not very clear.

Chen Sheng "looked" at the two people in front of him and felt that this pair of angels sent by the emperor was a bit shabby and seemed a bit fake.

However, adhering to his usual principle of caution, he still squatted down and put his hands on the heads of the two people on the ground.

Ten thousand paths of true qi with various properties rolled down, and instantly extracted some key information from their brains and souls, confirming their identities.

At the same time, Chen Sheng also learned more about the mission of this trip, the plight of Emperor Liu Hong, and the general situation in the court.

“I didn’t expect these two guys to be real angels. It’s not easy for Liu Hong to cultivate two confidants without being ordered by the emperor to leave the palace.

Now that the Emperor's envoy has arrived, my plan to establish a religion and erode the Yanhan Dynasty can now enter its most important stage."

Chen Sheng closed his eyes and "looked" at the two people in front of him, and couldn't help feeling happy.

In fact, even if the emperor did not send anyone to find him this year, he would find an opportunity to go to Luoyang to find the emperor.

The reason is very simple. The Taiping Dao has grown to the point where it is almost in charge of an entire county. Its size has reached a limit and it is about to collapse.

If they do not move closer to the center of power, the eunuchs and ministers who have accepted money and elixirs in the past, and who have always been the supporters of the Taiping Dao in the court, will sooner or later feel that the organization is out of control and threatened.

If someone accuses you of plotting rebellion, you'll be in big trouble.

Chen Sheng was able to create such a huge fuss by begging for rain for the entire county, relying on the power of incense and vows. His own military force and influence were not strong enough to compete with the entire imperial court.

Faced with the encirclement and suppression by the imperial army, he would most likely launch a rebellion that would shake the foundation of Yanhan's rule and become a pioneer for the king.

He absolutely cannot accept such an ending!

Chen Sheng's plan was very simple: to parasitize on the crumbling legitimate power of Yanhan, grab a piece of meat soup from the mouths of the carnivores who dominated the court, and at the same time gain more time for development until his Taiping Dao had the power to subvert everything.

The supreme imperial power of the Yanhan Dynasty could be touched by eunuchs, relatives of the emperor's wife, civil and military ministers, but why can't my Taiping Sect touch it?

Although Liu Hong is just a puppet emperor with weak military power, as long as he still has the title of emperor, he is the biggest banner in the world.

Chen Sheng could have appeared beside the emperor as a person who could save the collapsing building and help him break through to the Qi Transformation Realm.

Although the mere first-level [Dan Ding Fire] in the "Kuoqi Divine Book" cannot be used to refine elixirs that can help people break through the realm, the emperor who has the dragon energy in his body cannot use Taoist and divine arts to assist in martial arts training.

But with Chen Sheng's hundred years of accumulation in the Ming Dynasty world and his martial arts experience as a master, as long as the peak cultivators in the Refining Essence Realm are willing to pay a sufficient price, he has a way to help others break through the realm by force.

The emperor's breakthrough in martial arts will surely cause a huge wave in the court, and Chen Sheng, who has gained Liu Hong's trust, will be deeply involved in a series of subsequent political events.

While helping the emperor eliminate his opponents, the Taiping Dao could also swallow up the interests originally held by the losers and grow stronger by parasitizing the court.

As for whether doing so will lead to the revival of the Yanhan Dynasty?
Don't joke. The collapse of a dynasty is systemic. Unless Liu Hong can achieve the realm of Martial Saint and suppress an era with absolute force, no matter how hard-working the emperor is, he can only be a paperhanger.

After a few years, when Chen Sheng's martial arts and Taoist skills had improved further, the Taiping Dao had accumulated enough strength.

It was time to overthrow Yan Han and establish the Dao Kingdom on Earth. Chen Sheng instantly thought over his plan in his mind and closed his eyes to look at the two people on the ground.

"Miao Neichen just said that as long as I go to Luoyang, His Majesty will treat me as the Emperor's tutor.

Does the title of Imperial Master actually come with a real job?"

After Wandao Senluo spied on his memory, the sticky and cold feeling like an octopus tentacles sliding across his brain grooves had already made the eunuch terrified.

These words, imbued with divine power, were like the sound of thunder in his ears, and an uncontrollable sense of panic suddenly arose in his heart.

He quickly lowered his body and stammered.

"This... this, the Imperial Master has no rank, nor any title or official position."

"I have no official rank, and only two minor officials were sent to deliver the imperial edict. It seems that His Majesty does not take me, Zhang Shou, seriously."

Chen Sheng, who had peeked into their memories, knew that being the emperor's tutor was far from the emperor's bottom line. In order to advance in martial arts, he would not hesitate to sell half of the world.

So he pretended to be disappointed and turned to walk towards Zhangjiabao.

The eunuch prostrated himself on the ground, wanting to speak to persuade the immortal to stay, but was afraid of angering him, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

The emperor had been trapped in the deep palace for many years without any help. Sending his confidant to Julu County to search for immortals was a helpless act. He was just holding a glimmer of hope and did not hold out much hope.

Now that he had finally met the real immortal, he was unable to complete the emperor's instructions, so he was naturally very anxious.

But he did not notice that the big man who was kneeling beside him had a hint of struggle in his eyes.

Just as Chen Sheng had entered Zhangjiabao, a Taipingdao disciple wearing a gray robe suddenly came to them.

"You two distinguished guests have come from afar. It's getting late today. Please go to the guest room and rest."

……

Zhangjiabao, a secret room for practicing martial arts.

"The two people from Luoyang have already checked into the guest room."

Zhang Gui reported this small matter to Chen Sheng. Seeing his elder brother nod, he began to ask for instructions one by one on how to deal with the important matters of the Taiping Sect that had been delayed due to praying for rain.

"In Qingzhou, the first batch of Taoists from our sect who arrived encountered constant conflict with the government while preaching. The disciples requested that more personnel be sent there."

"Withdraw the people and postpone for a while. The government's problems can be solved."

Chen Sheng sat aside with his eyes closed, and without hesitation gave up the situation in Qingzhou that he had worked hard to develop for several months.

Although Zhang Gui was puzzled, he knew that his elder brother must have other plans, so he continued.

"It's a lean period right now, and cannibalism has occurred in Hejian County due to food shortages.

Local disciples requested that a batch of food be allocated to provide disaster relief."

"Yes, first transfer 20,000 dan of old grain from the Beihe warehouse. That should be enough to alleviate the immediate crisis."
