Chapter 69 Seven Killings Entering Life (Subscribe)

"The fact that such a divine being was born into the Yan Han nation is a blessing from our ancestors. I believe that Zhang Shou should be recruited to serve the imperial court."

"Old Minister, I second the motion."

"My lord, I second the proposal."

After Cao Song, several other officials came forward to support the proposal, which gave it more momentum.

The reason why Taiping Dao was able to grow and develop to its current size was that it had supporters in the court.

Although Chen Sheng had never personally gone to Luoyang to bribe or build relationships with high-ranking officials due to concerns about his lack of strength.

However, after he had converted his close associates, he would come to Luoyang every few months with several carts of money to distribute it in the name of the deputy leader of the Taiping Sect.

Over the past few years, tens of millions of dollars in bribes have been spent every year, and the Taiping Dao has become old friends with several of the Ten Attendants and several high-ranking officials among the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers.

Therefore, when the general took action just now, someone spoke out to stop him.

But the relationship between the two sides ends there.

If Chen Sheng was beaten into a meat pie by the military generals, his old friends of the Taiping Dao would only think that he was seeking his own death by showing off his magic and speaking wildly in the temple.

At most, he would sigh while chatting with people close to him, saying that it was a pity that the leader of the Taiping Dao, to which he often sent money, had died.

But when Chen Sheng killed the general with one palm, the mentality of the officials immediately changed.

Since the two sides have a deep friendship and Master Zhang is so powerful, why not go with the flow and bring him into the court. They can serve in the same court in the future and take care of each other.

After several important officials expressed their opinions, Song Dian, one of the Ten Attendants, came to Zhang Rang with the same idea in mind.

The two looked at each other and communicated secretly using their true energy for a moment.

I don't know what they said, but Zhang Rang actually let go of the emperor's hand and said with a smile.

"What you all said makes sense. Zhang Shou is indeed a man of both virtue and talent, a man of great potential.

As to whether he is qualified to serve as the Imperial Master, I ask Your Majesty to make your decision."

At this moment, Zhang Rang chose to retreat.

Although due to the short time of Taiping Dao's operation, it has not yet truly developed a relationship of mutual dependence with any party.

Chen Sheng becoming the imperial teacher would also have an impact on the existing political structure.

But as long as the two sides are not mortal enemies, everything can be negotiated.

Zhang Rang's current compromise is only temporary. He will probably start testing Chen Sheng soon to figure out his strength, ambition and position.

If both sides can become friends without major conflicts, they can naturally live in peace.

If coexistence is really difficult, the eunuchs will not necessarily choose to bow their heads even if there is a huge gap in strength.

The highest point of the hall.

Seeing that his ministers had reached a temporary compromise, the emperor looked around at the people in red and black clothes standing all over the hall, and finally looked at Zhang Shou who was standing upright, took a deep breath and said.

"Zhang Qing, from now on, you will be the Imperial Master of Yanhan."

The words fell.

Chen Sheng, who had gained recognition from the emperor and all officials, immediately noticed that the full-level Taoist profession on the profession panel had completed the job transfer.

[Profession 3]: Real Person
Level: Lv1 (1/100)

Realm: Wind Tribulation (Beginning Realm)

Talents: Clear mind, Faith and Scripture, Seven Killings entering the destiny
Fourth-level Taoist magic: Control of the Five Thunders Lv3 (296/300)

Level 4 and below: ...
Divine Arts: ...
[Seven Killings in Life]: Seven Killings are the thieves who disrupt the world. People with this talent have the mission of bringing chaos to the world. They can directly absorb the star power of Seven Killings to cleanse and nourish the Yin spirit and body.

This talent has the following promotion path: Seven Killings Entering Life → Lord of the Southern Dipper → Lord of the Zhoutian Stars. Without time to examine the career changes in detail, Chen Sheng bowed rather ceremoniously as the crowd looked on, and spoke loudly.

"I will never betray your majesty's grace. I will serve you faithfully and die for you, my Majesty, and for the Yan Han people."

No one in the hall was upset because Chen Sheng did not kneel.

Soon, the musicians continued to play music and the singers continued to dance, continuing this feast of bliss.

Chen Sheng blended in easily, drinking with the military generals, chatting with the civil officials, and joking with the eunuchs. He was having a great time and was very happy to be in the same boat with them.

The only thing he couldn't say was a word to the emperor.

During the banquet, no one mentioned the general whose head was hung on the tree.

The reason why he became like this now might be because of some misunderstanding!

……

This banquet, where everyone had their own thoughts, did not end until the hour of You.

Having made an appointment with the Ten Eunuchs to have a private meeting at the Imperial Master's Residence tonight, Chen Sheng was led by palace servants on the way to the Imperial Master's Residence. He was cautious along the way, guarding against possible assassinations.

Fortunately, it seemed that because they were unsure of Chen Sheng's strength, those who disliked him had not yet decided whether to become his enemy.

But Chen Sheng knew that this period of peace was destined not to last long. If he wanted to control the emperor, he would inevitably come into conflict with the current emperor's controller.

He must find an opportunity to be alone with the emperor as soon as possible.

After Chen Sheng returned home, he stayed in the house for a while, and then took out a rag doll from his arms. The doll had a delicate expression, both spirit and form, and was lifelike.

He blew a breath at the rag doll, and the little thing grew up in an instant, turned into his own appearance, pushed the door open, and started to prepare tonight's banquet in the mansion.

[Silk Doll]: Made of iron wire as bones, cotton as flesh, gauze as skin, real silk as hair, and satin as clothes, it is made with the maker's essence and blood.

It can take the life of its master and resist a fatal attack with a power limit of level two for its master. It can also transform into a mortal body whose true and false are difficult to distinguish, and use it to confuse others.

After doing all this, Chen Sheng turned invisible and flew towards the palace again.

This time he was familiar with the route, and following the dragon's tail, he soon landed on the roof of a heavily guarded palace.

Looking down at the tiles and beams beneath his feet, he could see the thin emperor reading at his desk, with only a few eunuchs and palace maids serving him.

None of the twelve eunuchs who served the emperor at the daytime banquet were here. They must have been preparing for tonight's banquet.

Chen Sheng slipped into the palace garden and swaggered into the emperor's bedroom.

He walked step by step behind several young eunuchs and palace maids, sealed several vital points with his true energy, and made them fall asleep.

He quietly came behind the emperor, looked at the article he was reading, and exclaimed in admiration.

"A gentleman hides his abilities, waiting for the right time to act. He appears dull to others, but sharp to himself.

Your Majesty has been keeping a low profile for thirteen years, sharpening his sword, appearing blunt, and waiting for the right time.

I just wonder if I have the courage to draw my sword when the time comes to unsheathe it."

"National Division?"

Hearing the voice behind him, the emperor remained calm although startled.

He turned his head, looked at Chen Sheng with blazing eyes, and said in a deep voice.

"The courage to draw the sword has been brewing in my chest for many years.

It's been thirteen years, but my sword is still not sharp enough. Would you, Imperial Master, be willing to lend me a hand?"
