”The Oligarchy conferred the title of Imperial Advisor to Daoist Master Li. The Chief Eunuch is in charge of the plague, what objections do the other officials have?”
The emperor's gaze swept up and down the officials as he asked this question.
”I have no objections!”
The officials all agreed. No one dared to say anything, not even Cao Jingxiu. Although he was an upright person, he was not a fool. Moreover, the Imperial Advisor was not someone who cheated on people.
If this Imperial Advisor, Li Dao, could really solve the problem of tens of thousands of people in the world, Cao Jingxiu would clap his hands and cheer for him.
Just like this, the Emperor conferred Li Dao the title of Grand Song's Imperial Advisor and bestowed him with the title of Grand Beginner's Daoist Master. He gave one to the mansion for ten thousand taels of gold and over a thousand slaves.
Li Dao wasn't interested in any of these things, but since the Emperor wanted to give it to him, he took it. After all, it would take at least two to three days to build an army and a ship in the Penglai Divine land. In these two to three days, Li Dao was ready to interact with Cao Jingxiu and see if he could split another Eight Immortals.
After leaving the imperial court, some of the more upright officials left. There were also some who flattered and flattered Li Dao in order to curry favor with the new Imperial Advisor. Of course, Li Dao had no interest in dealing with these commoners. His goal was to compete with the Eight Immortals for Penglai, and not to become the Imperial Advisor of the Great Song.
He left the palace and followed in the direction that Cao Jingxiu had left in. Li Dao wanted to do some thinking for him.
An honest official like Cao Jingxiu wanted to use the interests of the people to move him.
After a brief exchange of words with Li Dao, the officials began discussing amongst themselves about the character of the new Imperial Advisor.
Lin Mu quickly caught up to Li Dao. If he followed his Martial Granduncle closely, he would have a great opportunity. He was sure of this.
In the beginning, Lin Mu only thought of coming to the imperial court to pluck out some wealth and wealth. But after knowing Li Dao, he was no longer interested in wealth and glory.
If it wasn't for their poor aptitude and their uncultivated dao, who would be willing to enter this world?
The opportunity had come, so he must seize it. Lin Mu thought in this manner, his heart full of energy.
Li Dao looked at Cao Jingxiu's back as he left. The corner of his mouth hooked up into a smile as he happily followed.
As for Cao Jingxiu, he left the palace and headed straight for the carriage, ignoring the coachman's greetings.
As an uncle of the country and a court official, Cao Jingxiu naturally had his own mansion in Bianliang City, as well as a special carriage and coachman.
At this moment, Cao Jingxiu was still thinking about Li Dao. He was sure that Li Dao was someone with true ability, but he still had doubts as to whether Li Dao could cure the plague. Thinking back to all that had happened in the hall, Cao Jingxiu frowned and asked to himself, ”Imperial Advisor, ah, Imperial Advisor, just what kind of person are you?” I hope that you can really deal with the plague. The people are suffering. ”
As Cao Jingxiu was talking to himself, the carriage shook and stopped.
Cao Jing Xiu came back to his senses. He sat in the carriage and asked directly, ”Uncle Wang, why did you stop?”
The carriage driver vigilantly looked at the three in front of the carriage and replied, ”Uncle Guo, there's someone blocking the way.”
”Who is it?”
”I don't know him!”
Cao Jingxiu did not lose his temper. He was quite lenient towards his servants. He pulled open the curtain of the carriage and looked in front.
A lame man, who was leaning on a walking stick and dressed in ragged clothes, a fat man, who was bare-chested and had a sleek belly, and a beautiful woman with a pure blue heart, were standing in front of the car.
This kind of combination was something Cao Jingxiu couldn't understand, especially when the three people in front of him had smiles plastered on their faces.
