Hire little monsters in your dreams every day

Chapter 126 Imperial Preceptor Chongming
My resignation was not approved.

Perhaps out of gratitude for my many years of hard work and meritorious service, His Majesty the Emperor bestowed upon me the position of Grand Preceptor of Chongming Kingdom, thus making me a celestial official as well.

[Chongming Kingdom is merely a small kingdom of the eighth rank. For His Majesty the Emperor, who is of the eighth rank, to elevate me to the ninth rank is already extremely kind of him.]

Upon seeing this, Wu Yun noticed a key point...

"The Chongming Kingdom is an eighth-grade small country?

"Is there a celestial official position in the country called 'National Preceptor'?"

After becoming the Imperial Preceptor, all the knowledge accumulated by previous Imperial Preceptors was poured into my mind.

The power held by the Grand Preceptor lies in strengthening soldiers through alchemy.

To serve my country, I began to work diligently again, studying the knowledge that the Celestial Official's Hat had given me, and researching how to strengthen my soldiers.

That year, I was sixty-eight years old.

It was in this year that I suddenly understood why I was able to leave the mountain village, why I was able to rise through the ranks, and why I was able to govern Ji County so well...

Turns out, I'm actually quite smart.

The knowledge contained in the Immortal Official's Hat is not too difficult for me; I learn it as easily as eating and drinking.

I learned in thirty days the knowledge accumulated by the imperial advisors of past dynasties over three hundred years.

[They even found more than twenty self-contradictory errors and more than thirty ambiguous statements.]

I regained my confidence and started working hard again.

I have developed a new medicinal remedy to help soldiers recover from their injuries.

I researched new gunpowder to help the army conquer cities and fortresses.

I've developed new elixirs to help assassins unleash their potential.

The politics of Chongming Kingdom became increasingly turbulent, its economy increasingly collapsed, farmers' grain harvests decreased, and the scholars' enthusiasm for studying deteriorated, presenting a scene of decline. However, the country as a whole grew stronger and more prosperous, like oil being poured on a raging fire. It even fought against five neighboring countries, conquering five large counties.

All of this is because the military of Chongming Kingdom is becoming increasingly powerful.

The reason for our military's increased strength is me, rising from a ninth-rank celestial official to the Grand Preceptor of Chongming!

And so, another ten years passed. I lost my appetite more and more, felt lightheaded, slept more, and my mind became confused. I began to forget the people I knew from back then.

Sometimes I dream about the princess I almost married back then, but I can never quite remember what her face looked like.

[After quite some time, it suddenly occurred to me that the princess had died decades ago.]

[He died in Hu Ren Palace. Some say he died of illness, some say he fell to his death, and some say he died because of infighting for favor in the inner quarters.]

I always found it strange that decades later, Hu Ren still looked like a young man, radiant and handsome, while she had become a haggard old woman. Would she still try to win his favor?

However, no one dared to enter Hu Ren Palace to investigate, and the matter was left unresolved.

I've heard that the Taiyin Heavenly Palace conducts examinations of celestial officials in mortal realms, selecting the best to reward them with celestial peaches, extend their lifespans, and promote them to positions within the Heavenly Palace.

I wonder if I'm fortunate enough to have that blessing?

Not long after, the king issued another decree, ordering me to remove my official hat and cease serving as the royal advisor, and granting me permission to retire and return to my hometown.

[The one who succeeded me as Imperial Advisor was none other than Hu Ren.]

A year later, the Taiyin Heavenly Palace descended to the mortal realm for evaluation, and Hu Ren was promoted to the Heavenly Palace based on his outstanding achievements as the National Preceptor of Chongming.

【well】

Now, I am getting older and my eyesight is failing. I eat less and sleep more, and I don't have many years left to live.

How fleeting is the life of an ordinary person!

[After decades of toil, serving as a stepping stone for immortals a few times, one's life is about to come to an end.]

Another year has passed, and I am now seriously ill and bedridden.

Sometimes I dream of the princess. She says she hasn't gone through reincarnation all these years and is still waiting for me in the underworld.

[Haha, a dream is just a dream after all. The stories I read in my youth, I pieced together into a dream in my old age, deceiving myself.] [Another year has passed, and I finally received the news.]

Hu Ren, a member of the Hu family, while serving as the Imperial Preceptor of Chongming, privately refined a heretical elixir, wreaking havoc on the Heavenly Dao. He was condemned by the Three Realms and imprisoned in the Thunder Pool, where his body and bones were destroyed, and his soul was scattered, never to be reincarnated again.

The royal family of Chongming Kingdom, taking advantage of Qidan, has harmed neighboring countries and wreaked havoc on humanity. Their crimes are unforgivable, and all those involved, along with their entire families, will be exterminated and reborn as animals, never to be human again.

【Hahahahaha】

Finally, it's here!

[A bunch of ignorant fools who never realized that the elite warriors of Chongming Kingdom that I trained back then, although they were exceptionally powerful and fearless, capable of taking on ten men at once, never lost their spiritual energy after death.]

Humans are the most intelligent of all creatures; how could their spirit not dissipate after death?

[Of course, it's because of my refining process that the spiritual energy within their bodies, along with their potential, burned and transformed into the ability to revive their flesh and blood and the monstrous strength to conquer cities and seize strongholds.]

Humans are like candles, their spirits the wax; when they burn out, the person dies and the lamp goes out.

[By burning away spiritual energy and converting it into combat power, Chongming Kingdom can become invincible and unstoppable in every battle.]

However, privately burning spiritual energy constitutes the crime of practicing alchemy and violates the Supreme Iron Law.

For decades, Hu Ren has consistently tried to steal my achievements.

So, I left him this wonderful gift among all the achievements.

"I am but a humble countryman, yet I managed to drag a high and mighty immortal into the abyss of lightning. I can die in peace now."

After reading the entire article, Wu Yun felt even more moved.

"The Immortal Realm is truly insane."

He flipped through the pages and discovered that this autobiography was actually found by the Hu family, who later went crazy trying to prove their innocence!
The knowledge about Qidan that followed was also the research notes of this National Preceptor Chongming. The Hu family frantically searched for them, compiled them into a book, and sent it to the Lihentian Palace, thus clearing the Hu family of suspicion.

"Compared to the Chongming Kingdom, this national advisor is like an ant, a nobody."

Compared to the Hu family, Chongming Kingdom is like an ant.

"Compared to the Palace of Parting Hatred, the Hu family is like an ant."

"Hu Ren was imprisoned, but the Hu family didn't care at all; they only wanted to prove their innocence before the Heavenly Palace..."

"The Immortal Realm is indeed too insane."

Then he thought again, and realized that these celestial officials in the mortal realm were able to obtain various ranks and positions much more easily than the Grand Preceptor Chongming. In a sense, they were lucky to get such good fortune.

……

Blah blah blah...

In the council chamber.

Chen Xie was chatting happily with his uncles and elders when a pigeon flew in through the snow, cooing, and landed directly on his thirteenth uncle.

Thirteenth Uncle reached out and caught the letter, untied the pigeon leg, and while calling for the servants to feed the pigeons, he quickly read the letter.

After reading it, I immediately beamed with joy.

Hahaha, hahahaha!
"The Buwu Hall, on charges of disrupting Buwu, thoroughly investigated the Hu family. All members of the Hu family, from the eldest to the youngest, were stripped of their official positions and imprisoned."

"The Hu family of Jizhou will cease to exist from this day forward!"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.

"Haha, well done!"

"Chen Xie has indeed made another great contribution!"

"Remove all members of the family from their official positions? Isn't that too harsh a punishment?"

Uncle Thirteen raised his head and eyebrows.

Is it heavy?
"He eats the king's food but doesn't worry about the king's worries. Instead, he causes trouble for the immortal lord, hinders him, and adds obstacles. Such an ungrateful, shameless, and anti-Heavenly Gang person deserves a lighter punishment!"
