Chapter 2 (1/2)
The establishment of the new Han Dynasty was different from the past. The greatest force of the imperial court was no longer aristocratic families. Cao Cao had a clear understanding of the disadvantages of the Han Dynasty for many years. Under the influence of the change of heaven, the aristocratic family declined to the extreme and wantonly promoted the children of the poor family. Today's chaotang has been firmly controlled by him.
Chu Feng follows the information provided by the sophomore to the Zhaoxian hall, where you will be employed as long as you have the ability, which is a shortcut to promotion.
”Look, there are people coming to eat and drink again. All kinds of people want to recruit xianguan.”
”Alas, the disaster of heaven and earth is also the disaster of our scholars. The king of Han didn't know what to think. He wanted to set up this talent recruitment hall. Now all the princes in the court are mediocre.”
”Yes, it has always been our specialty to be officials and herdsmen, but now they are stolen by those reckless people. The world is unfair.”
”Keep your voice down. Don't be heard. Just talk quietly between you and me.”
Chu Feng suddenly heard a complaint nearby. Yu Guang swept it, but it was two young men dressed as scribes. They were weak and pale, as if they could run away in a gust of wind. He avoided in disgust and went straight across the hall in the opposite direction.
”Who's coming?” as soon as he entered the hall, the principal official asked loudly.
”Mountain Taoist Chu Feng.”
”Eh, it's brave of the Taoist priest to recruit the virtuous hall. What's your skill? Tell me more?” the official asked curiously.
”A little understanding of the secret of heaven”
”Pa -” the official slapped the table and shouted, ”how dare you talk about heaven and earth.”
”My lord doesn't need to be angry. I was originally a hermit in Kunlun mountain. I escaped a small life when the weather changed. Naturally, I won't come to die. I accidentally intercepted the sky, knew the reason for the weather change, and hid it in my heart day and night. Now I finally made up my mind to report to the king of Han, and I hope you will pay attention to the overall situation.” Chu Feng replied calmly. The highest level of lies is that he also believes. These days, he has planned a set of speeches and constantly hypnotized himself, forcing him to believe that he is a Kunlun Mountain alchemist and risked his life to seek advice for the safety of all living beings.
”What, do you know the reason for the sky change?” the official suddenly stood up, and the faces of all the officials in the lobby changed. Just after the disaster, the sky change has become a taboo in everyone's heart.
”I want to see the king of Han Dynasty. The reason for the change of heaven must be told to the king in person. I hope all adults can help me. I don't have much time.” Chu Feng looked compassionate. He had been completely immersed in his role. Of course, he is also gambling, gambling that the great disaster has just passed, people are uncertain, gambling that these people dare not do to him privately, and gambling on the ancient people's awe of heaven and earth. Why not gamble when your husband is alive?
The lobby was suddenly quiet and terrible. Someone said for a long time: ”Sir, I can't wait to decide this. I'd better inform the king of Han.”
Call——
Everyone looked relaxed, including Chu Feng, but his face remained the same, but he had some palpitations in his heart, so he was almost the last step.
Han Palace
Cao Cao looked at the memorial in his hand and looked uncertain. A Taoist claimed to intercept the secret of heaven and knew the reason for the change of heaven. Whether it was true or false, the key was what the other party intended to do so. Fame, profit, or ulterior motives?
”Has the king made a decision?” the speaker was a young scribe with sharp eyes and a little thin body.
”What do you think of filial piety?” Cao Cao asked instead of answering.
”This man's origin is mysterious. It doesn't hurt to see him. It's better for you to test him first.”
”That's good. Send someone to check his heels.”
Zhaoxian hall is very close to the palace. Chu Feng sits on his knees on one side of the lobby and closes his eyes. If he talks too much, he will lose. Therefore, he did not talk to the officials on the scene. The crowd was neither leaving nor staying. For a moment, the atmosphere was a little stagnant.
After waiting for more than an hour, he finally waited until someone came. Chu Feng turned his head and looked, but he was a young scribe. He was a little different. He was clearly wearing formal official clothes, but he didn't look solemn. A delicate wine pot was pinned to his waist. He went into the hall, waved his hand directly, and ordered, ”you all go out. I want to have a good talk with the fairy.”
