Chapter 149
"Mr. Chu, Qingcheng is doing it well under your governance!"
"You don't have to be too restrictive. I am not here to be accused of the crime."
Chu Zheng showed a friendly smile on his face, signaling Chu Zhan and Tang Yu and the others to get up.
call.
When Chu Zhan heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, not just to be accused of the crime.
But after breathing a sigh of relief, Chu Zhan felt a little strange again.
That is what Chu Zheng calls himself, Lord Chu! Generally speaking, Chu Zheng calls his subordinates by his name directly, and never adds the word "天子".
Furthermore, Chu Zheng, the governor of Dongjun County, is famous for his severity. How could he be so kind today?
No matter how confused he was, Chu Zhan did not dare to speak casually.
"Mr. The front hall has prepared pastries and fruits, please wait inside."
"good."
Soon, the group entered the front hall.
After entering the front hall, Chu Zhan made a cup of tea for Chu Zheng, and then stood beside Chu Zheng, but Chu Zheng signaled to sit down.
If this scene falls into the eyes of those who are familiar with Chu Zheng, it will definitely be very surprised.
With Chu Zheng's style, when he went to inspect the county town below, the city lords had to stand by the side and would not be allowed to sit down, which was regarded as demonstrating the dignity of the superiors.
"Mr. Chu, have you heard about the Jiujianxian recently?"
Chu Zheng said slowly after taking a sip of tea.
"I heard that the Heavenly Demon Emperor led the Heavenly Demon Alliance to attack the Shushan Sword Sect and was finally killed by the Jiu Jianxian!"
Chu Zhan replied.
When Chu Zhan mentioned the three words "Jiu Jianxian", he clearly showed admiration in his eyes.
The Jiujian Immortal killed the Heavenly Demon Emperor and destroyed the Heavenly Demon Alliance, which is definitely a great merit for the human world!
Also, since the Jiujianxian killed the Heavenly Demon Emperor and destroyed the Heavenly Demon Alliance, the incidents of demons causing chaos in the Tang Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty, the Western Regions and other places have suddenly decreased. It seems that these demons were afraid of the name of Jiujianxian and suddenly stopped.
"I'm not hiding it from Lord Chu. Last time the Shushan Sword Sect asked us for help, because the court was unstable, he did not send anyone. Later, the king was dissatisfied with it. After thinking about it, he decided to send an envoy to the Shushan Sword Sect to show friendship!"
Chu Zheng put down the teacup and said.
Chu Zhan has also heard of this matter a little.
As for the unstable court, no one was sent to the Shushan Sword Sect, this was just an excuse.
The real reason why people were not sent to Shushan Sword Sect to support was all due to the conflict between the court and the righteous sect.
The court wants to unify the world, but the righteous sects advocate freedom, so they naturally will not obey the jurisdiction of the court.
It can be said that in the past, this relationship was balanced at a very subtle point, but now the appearance of a powerful man like Jiu Jianxian like the Shushan Sword Sect is enough to allow the Tang Dynasty to re-examine its relationship with the Shushan Sword Sect.
Of course, Chu Zhan will not explain this kind of thing.
"The king is wise, I wonder who the king sent to the Shushan Sword Sect?"
Chu Zhan's eyes showed curiosity.
After he finished speaking, Chu Zhan found Chu staring at him.
Could it be?
"Mr. County Magistrate, is it possible that the king will send me to the Shushan Sword Sect?"
"I, Chu Zhan, have a low status, but it cannot represent the Tang Dynasty!"
Chu Zhan was a little frightened.
This mission to the Shushan Sword Sect is a big deal. If the mission is not properly conducted, it will not only not promote the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Shushan Sword Sect in a friendly direction, but will instead deteriorate the relationship between the two!
"Mr. Chu, don't be nervous. The sixth prince who went to the Shushan Sword Sect this time was sent to the Sixth Prince, but you also want to go with you."
Chu Zheng smiled.
"ah?"
"I'm going with you, why is that?"
Although Chu Zhan was still confused, he seemed to have thought of something.
"Mr. Chu, we have already investigated. Your son Chu Feng is under the disciple of Shushan Sword Sect. We hope to use Chu Feng's relationship to match the Sixth Prince and the senior leaders of Shushan to ease the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Shushan Sword Sect. If you want to do this, you cannot do without your help."
Chu Zheng explained.
Hearing Chu Zheng's words, Chu Zhan suddenly realized.
If only the Sixth Prince went to the Shushan Sword Sect to go, Chu Feng might not be able to make a match. After all, everyone is not familiar with him, but if Chu Zhan goes with him and his father comes forward, Chu Feng will do some help.
And when he arrived here, Chu Zhan finally understood why Chu Zheng, who had always been strict, was so friendly to him. This was entirely because of Chu Feng.
"Mr. Chu, this time, if you are willing to accompany the Sixth Prince to the Shushan Sword Sect, then after you come back, you will be the deputy governor of Dongjun!"
"This deputy county magistrate assists the county magistrate in charge of the entire Dongjun. His status is not comparable to that of the city lord of Qingcheng!"
Chu Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said in an almost seductive tone.
"What?"
"Deputy County Governor of Dongjun?!"
When Chu Zhan heard what Chu Zheng said, he looked surprised.
The entire Dongjun is naturally the most noble county magistrate. Next are two deputy county magistrates, then the general in charge of the entire Dongjun troops, and then the city lords of the county towns of Dongjun. The status of the city lords in the small city like Qingcheng is even worse than that of the deputy city lords of some larger county towns!
If Chu Zhan could jump from Qingcheng City Lord to Deputy County Magistrate of Dongjun, he would have been promoted to the third rank or above in a row! This kind of thing has never happened before!
"Why."
"Others are fighting for their fathers, but I am fighting for their sons!"
Chu Zhan understood that Chu Zheng could give up such generous conditions, which was definitely aimed at Chu Feng, not at Chu Zhan.
"Mr. County Magistrate, then I will thank you for your kindness in advance for your promotion."
Chu Zhan clasped his fists.
For Chu Zhan, the deputy county magistrate of Dongjun is still very attractive. Who doesn’t want to hold great power and call the wind and rain? Of course, Chu Feng may be an exception.
"Mr. Chu, you don't have to thank me. The person you should thank is the Sixth Prince!"
"If the six princes had not agreed, I would not have dared to promote you to deputy county magistrate."
Chu Zheng smiled humbly.
Although the county magistrate of Dongjun is powerful, he is as important as the deputy county magistrate. If there is no one in the palace nodding, he would not have been promoted by Chu Zheng who said he would have promoted him.
"Thank you for your good wishes from the Sixth Prince."
Chu Zhan said with a smile.
"Mr. Chu, since I have brought the words, I will go back first. Three days later, the sixth prince will pass by Qingcheng and take Lord Chu away."
"Okay, the county magistrate walked slowly."
"Well, Lord Chu, don't forget to mention to your son Chu Feng about the Sixth Prince's mission to the Shushan Sword Sect."
“This is natural.”
After Chu Zhan and Tang Yu sent Chu Zheng away, they returned to the front hall again.
"Master, today the county magistrate came here in person. In addition to asking you to accompany the Sixth Prince to the Shushan Sword Sect, I'm afraid there is also the intention to win you over."
Although Tang Yu was just the concubine of the Ninth Prince of the Tang Dynasty and was not in the center of power, he could also understand some tricks in the officialdom.
"Madam, it's better to say that it's the sixth prince to win me over than it is the county magistrate who wins me over."
"No!"
"It shouldn't be said that, it should be said that the Sixth Prince wants to win over our Feng'er!"
After pondering for a while, Chu Zhan held his chin and said slowly.
Chapter completed!
